00:00Europe welcomes the agreement reached between Israel and Hamas and Reitrade's call for the two-state solution.
00:11Ursula von der Leyen has survived two no-confidence motions in the European Parliament tabled separately by the far-right and far-left.
00:20The European Commission has launched an internal probe into reports that Hungarian intelligence services tried to recruit EU employees in Brussels as informants.
00:31Russian President Vladimir Putin has admitted that Russian air defences were responsible for shooting down an Azerbaijani jet last December.
00:42Europe has welcomed the agreement reached between Israel and Hamas to secure a ceasefire and to release hostages held in Gaza.
00:50Many leaders stressed that this deal must be a first step towards a two-state solution, something which Israel has repeatedly rejected.
00:56Although the EU has been lambasted as irrelevant by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a recent interview with Euronews, the European Commission says the EU has a role to play.
01:06The EU is well positioned to contribute to President Trump's peace plan. The EU High Representative has also been quite clear about that, that we have an important role to play and that we should also be part of that.
01:21This is due to our consistent political and also financial support to both Israel and also the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people as well as regional integration.
01:31The President of the European Commission said the EU will keep supporting the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza while ensuring the EU will be ready to help with recovery and reconstruction.
01:43The President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, stated this opportunity must be used to lay the foundation for a lasting peace and called for a two-state solution. For his part, French President Emmanuel Macron also reiterated calls for the two-state solution.
01:59This first phase of a peace plan announced by U.S. President Donald Trump provides for the release of the remaining 20 living Israeli hostages. It also includes the condition that Israel will release almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, allow the delivery of some aid into Gaza and withdraw its troops from most of the street.
02:20Israelis and Palestinians rejoiced on Thursday after a ceasefire and hostage deal was announced under the first part of a U.S.-backed initiative to end the war in Gaza.
02:34Thank you. You did it! You did it!
02:37The hostages will come back. They're all coming back on Monday.
02:40Under the deal, Israel will partially withdraw from Gaza.
02:53Hamas will free the remaining hostages captured in the Gaza Strip in exchange for prisoners held by Israel.
03:00The release of 20 hostages still believed to be alive in Gaza is expected on Monday.
03:05Another 26 hostages have been declared dead, and the whereabouts of two are unknown.
03:21In Gaza, the news was met with applause, joy and hope that this ceasefire would last.
03:27May the end of the scene is obliged.
03:29Under the Gaza Strip was ahead and reunited with the deal of peace and I'm sure there's no doubt that there was a surprise.
03:32We were determined that there were two years of war and warned.
03:34Of course, the first thing we heard about the news, we didn't talk about the surprise, we advised us about the news.
03:39We checked out the news that the news was released, weädiced and retained everything.
03:44So we looked forward to the news that this war was aimed at.
03:49The world food program said there was no time to waste in allowing international aid to reach the Gaza Strip,
04:07where it says more than half a million people are trapped in famine.
04:19The agreement, which has been endorsed by both Hamas and Israel, is expected to be signed on Thursday.
04:31The European Parliament has rejected two back-to-back motions of censure against European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
04:38The first motion of no confidence tabled by far-right groups was rejected on Thursday with 378 votes against, 179 in favours and 37 abstentions.
04:51The initiators of the motion did not, however, see this as a defeat.
04:57This is a process, it's not a definite thing.
04:59It's just to put pressure on von der Leyen and to show her weak points and that she has no conditions to continue.
05:07So we will continue on this strategy until she understands that she cannot keep on going.
05:15MEPs also rejected the motion of censure tabled by far-left groups with 383 votes against, 133 in favour and 78 abstentions.
05:26Consider it as a first victory.
05:29I think Ursula von der Leyen has never been as weakened as now, as of now.
05:34And I think there's a number of MEPs that are supposedly into the coalition of Ursula von der Leyen that have actually been voting in favour of a motion of censure.
05:43And it says some things about the anger, I think, that Ursula von der Leyen is creating.
05:50Though Ursula von der Leyen will be relieved to have overcome three separate no confidence votes in the past few months,
05:56she owes the survival of her coalition to the broader international geopolitical context.
06:03We voted in general against and I think the most important reason is that if we are now looking at the situation in the world,
06:12now sending away the European Commission is really not a smart thing to do.
06:17The groups that form the so-called centrist majority and most of the MEPs from the Greens and from the European Conservatives and Reformists
06:30defended the Commission against accusation of her trade policy and lack of transparency.
06:36But this does not mean that challenges are over for Ursula von der Leyen and for the Commission.
06:44The next big battle in the Parliament could concern the multi-annual budget of the European Union,
06:51where she could end up at odds, even with the members of her own group, the European People's Party.
06:59Vincenzo Genovese, Euronews, Strasbourg.
07:02The European Commission has launched an internal probe into reports that Hungarian intelligence services
07:10tried to recruit EU employees in Brussels as informants.
07:14According to an investigation, undercover agents posing as diplomats at Hungary's permanent representation
07:20allegedly targeted Hungarian staff inside EU institutions to gain access to sensitive files.
07:26Now, this is a matter of operational security, which is why, as usual, I won't be able to comment much.
07:31But what I can say is that we will be setting up an internal group to look into these allegations.
07:37The Commission says it takes the claim seriously and is taking measures to protect staff and information
07:46The report said the network operated under the diplomatic cover of Hungary's EU mission between 2012 and 2018.
07:52The mission was, at the time, led by Oliver Varnelli, who is now the European Commissioner for Health.
08:00When asked by Euronews, the Commission said no such allegations existed in 2019, when Varnelli was vetted for his post.
08:08The European Parliament has not commented on the case, but says it continues to monitor security risks.
08:13Russian President Vladimir Putin has admitted that Russian air defences were responsible for shooting down an Azerbaijani passenger jet last December.
08:28The admission marks his first public acknowledgement of blame for the tragedy.
08:34Russian President Vladimir Putin has admitted that Russian air defences were responsible for shooting down a few days before the tragedy.
08:52The second reason is that it is in the technical battle of the system of P.O. in Russia.
09:00And the two rockets that were released, they didn't hit the plane on the direct plane.
09:07If it was on the ground, it would be on the ground.
09:10And it was in a few meters, about 10 meters.
09:21The passenger jet was travelling from Baku to Grozny when it crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan,
09:26killing 38 people.
09:30Another 29 survived, thanks to the quick actions of the pilots.
09:36Investigators found the plane was struck by shrapnel during drone activity above Grozny.
09:42The pilots reportedly requested an emergency landing in Russia,
09:46but were told to fly on across the Caspian Sea towards Kazakhstan.
09:50Azerbaijan had earlier accused Moscow of trying to cover up the incident
09:54and said it would pursue legal action.
09:57Chinese Premier Li Qiang arrived in North Korea on Thursday to participate in celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Workers' Party.
10:09Li was welcomed by his counterpart Pak Thaisong in Ponyang.
10:13Li's presence is the highest level visit by a Chinese leader since 2019.
10:19He is one of the seven members of the Communist Party's top decision-making body in China.
10:25China has long been the North Korean government's most important ally and source of support.
10:31The official commemoration is set to take place on Friday and will be attended by a variety of foreign dignitaries,
10:37including former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
10:41Hungarian author Laszlo Krasnoyeva has won the 2025 Nobel Prize for Literature.
10:51The Swedish Academy called his work a compelling and visionary body of work that reaffirms the power of art.
10:59The 71-year-old novelist and screenwriter is best known for his dark, sprawling prose and partnership with filmmaker Bella Tarr.
11:09Krasnoyeva previously won the Man Booker International Prize in 2015 and the US Book Award for Translated Literature in 2019.
11:19He joins a distinguished list of laureates that includes Ernest Hemingway, Toni Morrison and Bob Dylan.
11:29This year's Literature Award carries a prize of 11 million Swedish krona, about 1 million euros.
