00:00France's newly reappointed Prime Minister Sébastien Le Cornu has officially formed his second government.
00:10The European Union's new electronic border control system, known as the entry-exit system, EES, comes into effect.
00:21France's newly reappointed Prime Minister Sébastien Le Cornu formed his second government in a week on Sunday night.
00:30Le Cornu is France's fourth Prime Minister in a year and appointed his first government last Sunday, resigning hours later amid protests by a key Conservative coalition member.
00:40He was then reappointed Prime Minister on Friday.
00:44Among the new appointments is former Labour Minister Catherine Vautrin, now serving as Defence Minister, and Paris Police Chief Laurent Nunez, who managed security during the 2024 Olympics as Interior Minister.
00:56Roland Lescure takes over as Finance Minister, a key role as France seeks to draft a budget addressing rising debt and poverty.
01:06Those retaining their positions include Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barraud.
01:10But right after the President's office unveiled the new cabinet, the Conservative Republican Party said it would expel the six members who had agreed to join the government.
01:21It is unclear how long the new cabinet will last.
01:24Le Cornu continues to face pressure to urgently produce a budget and end the prolonged political crisis that has engulfed the country.
01:35The European Union's new digital entry and exit scheme, EES, which involves registering the fingerprints of people from third-party countries and taking their photographs before they enter 29 EU countries, came into force on Sunday.
01:53Major airports in Italy began their implementation on Sunday while Germany began its gradual phase in Stuttgart.
02:02According to the European Union, the new system will improve the efficiency and security of border crossings.
02:09Non-EU citizens will have to pass through the biometric system to enter and exit the block with their data being stored in the cloud for at least three years.
02:19The system is expected to eventually replace the old-fashioned system of physically stamping passports, which doesn't allow for automatic detection of people who have exceeded their authorized stay of 90 days within 180 days.
02:35But, experts are warning that non-EU nationales will need to stop for a longer time before a passport control officer or self-service kiosk at airports, ports and international rail terminals.
02:50The EU Commission, however, says the system could temporarily be suspended during the first six months of implementation if wait times become too long or there are technical issues.
03:02Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he spoke with U.S. counterpart Donald Trump on the phone for a second consecutive day.
03:16It comes as Russia launched another overnight attack targeting Ukraine's energy sector ahead of the winter months.
03:22Russia launched over 100 drones killing seven and injuring at least 23 others across Ukraine in the past 24 hours.
03:29I spoke with the President of the United States, Donald Trump on the United States, very detail about the energy and the possibility of strengthening the PPU.
03:42Zelensky had also urged Trump to use the momentum of the peace deal achieved in the Middle East to also broker peace in Ukraine.
03:50The Ukrainian leader accused Russia of taking advantage of the conflict in the Middle East and, quote,
03:56exploits the fact that world leaders have their attention elsewhere.
04:00Zelensky therefore called on continuous pressure and sanctions against Russia.
04:04Ukraine faces a challenging winter ahead as Russia ramps up attacks on its energy infrastructure, Odile Renobasso, the President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, has told Euronews.
04:22The bank is Ukraine's largest institutional investor deploying more than 8 billion euros in investments since the start of the war, including in the banking, energy and agri-food sectors.
04:31Her warning came days after Russian strikes knocked out more than half of Ukraine's gas production,
04:37and hours after what Ukrainian officials described as a massive attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, plunging parts of the capital, Kyiv, into darkness.
04:46A few days ago, there had been the largest attack on gas infrastructure, and this creates new challenges.
04:53So that's why we need to be, as an institution, as a bank, and with the countries that support Ukraine,
05:00need to be very agile in defining the response and providing support depending on the priorities.
05:05And, for example, now we've been working in the last few months, and still now, with Naftogaz, which is a gas company,
05:12in order to ensure that Ukraine has sufficient gas storage to cover for the winter.
05:17The country was very well prepared a few days ago. The new attack creates new challenges, so it's important to continue to strengthen and to be ready.
05:28Renaud Basso also said that the bank is committed to Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction efforts,
05:33but that any settlements between Ukraine and Russia must ensure an enduring peace.
05:36You remember that Ukraine was in a war since 2014, and this is not very conducive for investment and development.
05:45It was, so hopefully this will be the situation. Then we will step up our investment, and I think our plan is to invest at least 3 billion euros per year.
05:55Renaud Basso, thank you so much for joining us.
05:57Thank you very much.
05:58Madagascar's President Andriy Rajalina on Sunday said an attempted coup was underway in the Ireland nation after an elite army unit, known as CAPSAT, claimed control of the military.
06:16The army unit called for the President to step down following weeks-long youth-led anti-government protests.
06:23The statement from Rajalina's office said it wishes to inform the nation and the international community that an attempt to seize power illegally, by force, has been initiated.
06:36We respond to the solicitation of the people of Malaga's.
06:43After the reprehension of the gendarmerie, we try to show the people of Malaga's that the army exists now.
06:52We respond to the solicitation and call of the people of the government.
06:57There is no republic.
06:58On Sunday, the Minister of Armed Forces acknowledged an officer selected by a military group supporting
07:06demonstrators as the country's new army chief.
07:13Residents of Athens, the Greek capital and visitors alike now have the opportunity to
07:18admire the splendour of the Parthenon without scaffolding and pillars.
07:23For decades, iron structures inevitably hid certain details and altered the aesthetic
07:29experience on the Holy Rock.
07:32The removal of the equipment is temporary and expected to last until November.
07:38More modern but more discreet scaffolding will return, local authorities say.
07:44The Acropolis is by far the most popular tourist attraction in Greece.
