00:00Israel marks two years since the 7th October 2023 Hamas attack as Gaza ceasefire talks continue.
00:10Outgoing French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu attempts one final round of negotiations to stave off a deepening political crisis.
00:21Three scientists from American universities won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on quantum mechanics.
00:30Israelis are marking two years since thousands of Hamas-led militants poured into southern Israel on 7 October 2023,
00:40killing about 1,200 people and taking some 251 others hostage.
00:46In central squares in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, thousands of people gathered on Tuesday to remember the dead and called for the release of hostages.
00:56Two years ago, my aunt was murdered outside her house in Kibbutz Beri, and my cousin was taken hostage to Gaza.
01:07Eleven months later, she was executed by Hamas.
01:11Nearly 400 Israelis were killed and dozens abducted from the Nova Music Festival in the border community of Rem.
01:19At the site of the Nova Festival attack, people embraced memorials garnished with flowers, tributes and candles.
01:27Over the last two years, the venue has emerged as a memorial site with portraits of the kidnapped and the fallen.
01:33Though there was no official ceremony due to the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which coincides with the anniversary,
01:52the Israeli government plans to hold an official ceremony of the anniversary next week.
01:57Embattled French President Emmanuel Macron is facing mounting political pressure
02:07as outgoing Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu attempts one final round of negotiations to stave off a deepening political crisis.
02:17Lecornu proposed that discussions focus on two urgent matters, adopting a budget and the future of New Caledonia.
02:24He also confirmed he would meet each political party between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
02:32The effort marks Macron's last-ditch attempts to keep the government functioning after Lecornu's resignation on Monday,
02:39just 27 days after taking office, the shortest tenure for a French Prime Minister in modern history.
02:45But key opposition figures on France's far right and far left have rejected the bid,
02:51and two of Macron's former Prime Ministers have now distanced themselves from him as well.
02:57The latest developments underline the President's increasingly isolated position, even among his allies.
03:06Less than a year after the landmark verdict in a drugging and rape trial that shook France
03:12and turned Giselle Pellicoe into a global icon,
03:16Pellicoe on Monday testified at the courthouse for the appeal of a man convicted in her case.
03:23Husametin Dorgan, sentenced to nine years in prison last December, denies he intended to rape Pellicoe.
03:31He argues that he was deceived by Giselle Pellicoe's ex-husband,
03:35who drugged his wife and offered her to strangers online before filming the assaults.
03:42The 44-year-old construction worker went on trial Monday in Nims, southern France,
03:48on charges of aggravated rape by administering substances that impair judgment or self-control,
03:55an offence carrying up to 20 years in prison.
03:58He remains free, pending a verdict, but prosecutors had sought 12 years at his first trial.
04:06Pellicoe entered the courthouse under police escort,
04:09smiling as she shook hands with supporters who shouted words of encouragement.
04:14While last year's trial stretched over four months,
04:17the retrial is scheduled to last no more than four days,
04:20with a verdict expected on Thursday.
04:22Three people in the Albanian capital Tirana were arrested after a man on trial
04:33shot dead a judge in a courtroom on Monday.
04:36The judge was presiding over a hearing about a property dispute
04:40in the Tirana Court of Appeal when the man shot him.
04:43The gunman also shot two other people involved in the hearing,
04:47a father and son, police said.
04:49They were taken to a hospital and their injuries were non-life-threatening.
04:53Local media said the 30-year-old suspect opened fire because he knew he would lose the case.
04:59The man's uncle was also arrested, as was a security guard at the court, according to police.
05:05They explained that the security guard did not physically search the defendant or his uncle
05:10even though they had set off the metal detector while entering the court.
05:14Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said on Monday that it was a tragic event
05:18and called for tougher sentencing for gun-related crimes.
05:27The newly elected mayor of the western German town of Herdecke
05:31was found in her home with multiple life-threatening stab wounds on Tuesday.
05:36She was taken to a hospital by helicopter.
05:39Ihre Stalzer, who was elected on September 28th,
05:42is a member of the center-left Social Democratic Party,
05:45the junior party in Germany's conservative-led government.
05:49Police said they are investigating, adding that a family-related incident couldn't be ruled out.
05:55Officials say Stalzer's two adopted teenage children had made the emergency call to authorities.
06:01They were later taken into custody, according to local media.
06:04It was reported that police had been called to Stalzer's house on several occasions in the past
06:11due to reports of domestic violence.
06:14German Chancellor Friedrich Merz shared in a post on X
06:17that he feared for Stalzer's life and hopes for a full recovery.
06:21The Bulgarian Elenite resort has been closed by authorities
06:31after heavy rain caused floods to sweep through the seaside town last week.
06:36The decision comes amid forecasts of more heavy rainfall in the region.
06:41The resort will reopen once the heavy rain subsides.
07:09The floods that have swept through villages on the Black Sea coast since last week
07:14have claimed three lives and forced hundreds to evacuate their homes.
07:18Bulgarian authorities declared a state of emergency in several towns,
07:23where regional public transport was halted due to flooded roads after days of extreme rainfall.
07:28The International Criminal Court has convicted former leader of the Janjaweed militia
07:37of past war crimes committed in Sudan's western Darfur region.
07:42Ali Muhammad Ali Abdelrahman was unanimously convicted by a three-judge panel
07:46on 27 charges of playing a leading role in the atrocities committed between 2003 and 2004.
07:53Abdul Rahman was also found guilty of ordering summary executions of scores of prisoners
07:58and of personally killing captive civilians.
08:02The judges ruled that he was a senior commander in the Janjaweed militia during the Darfur conflict.
08:07The conflict erupted when rebels from the region began fighting the armed forces
08:11under then-President Omar al-Bashir.
08:14Al-Bashir's government responded with a scorched-earth campaign of aerial attacks and raids
08:19carried out by the Janjaweed, killing over 300,000 people and displacing almost 3 million.
08:26Abdul Rahman is set to be sentenced at a later date and faces a maximum life sentence.
08:32The ruling marks the first time the Haque Court has convicted a suspect of crimes in Darfur.
08:37Three scientists from American universities won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on quantum mechanics.
08:51The winners are John Clark, a UK-born physicist at the University of California, Berkeley,
08:57Michel Devoret, French professor emeritus of applied physics at Yale University,
09:02and John Martinez, American professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
09:09Quantum mechanics is the science of how matter and light behave on the atomic and subatomic scale
09:15and is used to power everything from smartphones and computers to lasers and MRI scanners.
09:22Clark, Devoret and Martinez earned the award for discoveries that showed how quantum's properties can be made tangible
09:28using an electrical system built from superconductors.
09:31This year there have been just under 60 encounters of orcas ramming into boats off the coast of Portugal.
09:43In recent years the number of incidents has multiplied.
09:48No injuries have so far been reported, however the orcas have sunk in multiple vessels.
09:53Relativamente a interações e avistamentos de orcas durante 2025, há de referir 30 avistamentos e 24 interações.
10:09Scientists believe that the goal of the orcas, which can weigh up to 11 tons, is to play and not attack.
10:15We can see this almost as a game, almost as a game that one puts it to one side, the other puts it to the other.
10:21Why? Because the lamb is effectively a piece fundamental to direction the embarkation.
10:27The science community believes the ramings are likely a learned behavior among the animals.
10:52And what started with just a few juvenile orcas has now spread to a larger number of individuals in the population.
11:00We're talking about 40, 30 or 40 individuals.
11:04And so the estimative is that maybe half of this number starts to demonstrate this type of interaction with the embarcations.
11:13The Institute for Nature, Conservation and Forests created a safety protocol on how to react in the event of orcas approaching boats.
11:22Há duas situações possíveis.
11:24Uma é parar, parar as máquinas, rebaixar as belas, não fazer movimentos bruscos e aguardar que os animais no fundo dispersem.
11:35A outra situação, e voltando a referir, desde que o mar o permita, é colocar máquinas a ré, engrenar as máquinas a ré.
