00:00Power was restored to over 240,000 Odessa households following a major overnight Russian attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

00:11Newly reappointed French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu vows to tackle the deepening political chaos gripping the country.

00:22Around 50 towns in Ukraine's Odessa region were left without power on Saturday morning,

00:28following an overnight Russian drone attack on energy infrastructure, according to regional authorities.

00:34Ukrainian private energy firm DTEK reported that power has since been restored to the 240,000 households affected.

00:44Odessa's regional governors said that besides energy infrastructure, two residential buildings and a hotel were damaged.

00:51One person, a 47-year-old woman, was injured.

00:54Power was also restored to over 800,000 Kyiv residents on Saturday,

01:00following a separate attack by Russia on the Ukrainian power grid a day earlier,

01:05which caused blackouts across much of the country.

01:08The energy sector has been a key battleground since Russia launched its all-out invasion more than three years ago.

01:15Each year, Russia has tried to cripple the Ukrainian power grid before the winter season,

01:20apparently hoping to erode public morale.

01:22U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to travel to the Middle East next week

01:29to participate in a signing ceremony of the Gaza peace deal in Egypt,

01:34potentially marking the end of the two-year bloody Israel-Hamas war, according to media reports.

01:41During the trip, Trump is first scheduled to visit Israel where a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

01:49and an address to the Neset, Israel's parliament, are planned.

01:53According to Israeli media reports, Trump is likely to meet with the families of hostages,

01:59while Egyptian media reports that preparations are underway to welcome Trump on Monday.

02:04On Saturday, Egyptian government sources said Trump will be received in the red city of Sham el-Sheikh

02:11to participate in a signing ceremony along with other guarantors of the Gaza peace deal.

02:17The U.S. President's planned trip to the Middle East follows his announcement early Thursday

02:22that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of a cease-fire agreement in Gaza.

02:32U.S. troops have begun arriving in Israel to oversee the implementation of the cease-fire agreement in Gaza,

02:40according to two sources cited by ABC News.

02:43U.S. officials said 200 troops will be on the ground to set up a coordination center,

02:48but they are not expected to enter Gaza.

02:51As the cease-fire held, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff visited an Israeli army post in Gaza on Saturday

02:58to confirm the first phase of the withdrawal of IDF troops.

03:02The remaining hostages held by Hamas are said to be released by Monday.

03:06Officials in Gaza say around 5,000 public operations have been conducted since the cease-fire came into effect,

03:14including efforts to restore key infrastructure, rescue and medical operations.

03:20The United Nations said it will begin delivering scaled-up aid on Sunday.

03:25Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians continue to return to their homes in the north of Gaza.

03:31Gaza's civil defense agency said 300,000 people have arrived in Gaza's city since the truce began.

03:42France's newly reappointed prime minister, Sébastien Lecournu, called for calm and for support of political parties

03:49as he vowed to tackle the deepening political chaos gripping the country.

03:54He said he agreed to come back because of the urgent need to form a draft annual budget by Monday

03:59and acknowledged the risk that he could be brought down in a no-confidence vote by the fractured parliament.

04:05I have no feeling that there were a lot of candidates, to be completely transparent.

04:10And so, I will tell you, as I said to the French and French on the television this week,

04:16I have no agenda.

04:18I have no other ambition than to get out of this moment that is objectively very painful for everyone.

04:24Lecournu's reappointment is seen as President Macron's last chance to reinvigorate his second term,

04:30which runs until 2027.

04:33But it drew sharp criticism from rivals on the far left and far right,

04:37who have called for Macron to resign and call snap elections.

04:41In his comments on Saturday, Lecournu didn't address opposition demands

04:45to scrap a contentious law raising the retirement age.
