00:00NATO defense ministers have agreed to strengthen their deterrence capabilities

00:05to protect the airspace of member states.

00:09A convoy of 400 trucks carrying food, medicine and fuel was dispatched for Gaza from Egypt on Wednesday

00:16as Israel limits delivery, citing Hamas truce violations.

00:20Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara made an unprecedented official visit to Russia

00:25less than a year after his rebel forces ousted Kremlin ally Bashar al-Assad.

00:30NATO defense ministers have agreed to massively increase deterrence capabilities

00:34when it comes to drones and Russian jets that have been seen in NATO airspace in recent weeks.

00:40Mark Rutte, the NATO Secretary-General, made the point that if any of these jets or drones

00:44pose a threat to NATO territory, then they can be shot down.

00:48He was also asked about the issue of Tomahawk cruise missiles and whether or not he thought

00:52that Donald Trump, the US president, would agree for Ukraine to have access to these missiles

00:57and use them in Russian territory.

00:59He said, of course, this was Donald Trump's decision alone, that we'd hear about it on

01:03Friday at a meeting at the White House between President Zelensky and President Trump.

01:06But he said overall he was happy this conversation was taking place because ultimately it's about

01:11bringing Vladimir Putin to the negotiation table.

01:14Sweden is readying for war.

01:18Sweden is readying for war.

01:20Since 2024, it has invested around 7.7 million euros to upgrade its 64,000 shelters built during the Second World War and the Cold War,

01:31like this one in Sweden's capital of Stockholm.

01:35Del Geldam's car park seems like an ordinary underground parking area carved into the rock face,

01:42but it can actually also serve as a public shelter for 1.2 thousand people.

01:47It can resist the blast and debris and such things that come through the bomb.

01:59And then it's airtight, so it even resists biogas or chemical gas or even nuclear waste.

02:13With tensions with Russia increasing since the full-scale war in Ukraine,

02:18the Swedish government has promised to increase its civil defence budget by seven times.

02:24But Johansson says the money allocated is unlikely to cover the cost of fixing all of the shelters,

02:31let alone building new ones.

02:34Sweden's civil defence minister warned last year that a military attack could not be ruled out.

02:43A convoy of eight trucks drove through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt into Gaza on Wednesday,

02:49according to the Egyptian Red Crescent.

02:51The convoy of 400 trucks was carrying 5,700 tons of food,

02:56more than 1,400 tons of medical supplies and equipment, and around 2,500 tons of fuel.

03:02State-run Egyptian broadcasters showed footage of the convoy as it passed through the Egyptian side of the crossing.

03:08They were headed to an Israeli inspection area in the Karim Shalom crossing

03:11before being allowed into the enclave.

03:15It's part of phase one of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas,

03:19brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump.

03:22The deal stipulated that pre-war levels of 600 trucks a day were to be allowed into Gaza

03:26to replenish the struggling population with critical food and supplies.

03:31Israel said, however, that it would only permit 300 trucks daily,

03:35citing alleged Hamas violations of the deal.

03:38Earlier in the week, Israel threatened to keep Rafah shut and reduce aid supplies

03:43as it accused Hamas of releasing the bodies of deceased hostages too slowly.

03:49Humanitarian groups have called on Israel to immediately abide by the terms of the deal

03:53and allow the agreed-upon number of trucks to enter this trip.

03:56The war in Gaza may be over, but thousands of people across Spain have taken part in a national strike

04:06called by major labor and student unions to protest what they describe as a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

04:14Protests were reported in major cities including Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla,

04:21where demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and banners calling for peace and justice.

04:26The strike comes just days after the announcement of the first phase of a peace plan

04:51between Israel and Hamas.

04:53Despite the diplomatic breakthrough, organizers pressed ahead to demand an end to the violence in Gaza

05:00and the severing of ties with Israel.

05:03Spain's center-left coalition government has been one of the most outspoken in the EU

05:08against Israel's attacks on Gaza.

05:11Yet, support for Palestine has become an increasingly divisive national political issue.

05:17It's an announcement that has sparked lots of debate here in France.

05:24The suspension of the pension reform, one of President Emmanuel Macron's most controversial policies,

05:31is expected, barring any surprises, to be formally approved by Parliament in November.

05:38And not everyone is happy about it.

05:40The government is pausing the retirement age increase from 62 to 64.

06:09To avoid a new confidence vote.

06:13But in Paris, protesters remain wary of this promise.

06:17Ce n'est que partie remise, ce n'est pas une annulation pure et simple.

06:21J'ai participé à quelques manifestations pour, justement, contre cette réforme.

06:27Donc, forcément, ça va plutôt dans le bon sens, si on prend simplement le résultat.

06:31Mais il y a une grosse méfiance et c'est surtout, c'est reporter le problème à plus tard, en 2027.

06:39A reform that is being put on pause, but not fully scrapped.

06:43It looks like pensions will remain at the heart of public debate in France for many years to come.

06:49Syria's interim president, Ahmad al-Shara, met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow

06:57in an unprecedented official visit on Wednesday.

07:01The visit comes less than a year after al-Shara led a swift rebellion

07:05which dethroned Kremlin ally and longtime president Bashar al-Assad in December.

07:10He was greeted with full military honours upon his arrival

07:14as the Kremlin looked to establish working ties with the country's new leadership.

07:20Putin said, however, that Russia's policy towards Syria remains constant,

07:24claiming that it's rooted in the same driving principle as it always was.

07:40Speaking to reporters, Al-Shara noted that his country shares a deep and historic link with Moscow.

08:01The Syrian leader said much of the infrastructure was built by and is maintained by Russians.

08:06Former President al-Assad currently resides in Russia,

08:11his home since fleeing Syria when rebel forces entered the capital Damascus.

08:16Al-Shara is expected to seek al-Assad's extradition to face a trial back home

08:20for war crimes committed in Syria's 14-year civil war.

08:25In an interview with U.S. media earlier this week,

08:28he said that his government will use all available legal means to hold the ousted president to account.

08:33The Kremlin has so far avoided the topic.

08:41European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen

08:44continued her multi-state tour of the Western Balkans on Wednesday

08:48as she visited Kosovo and met with its leadership.

08:51The visit followed an earlier stop in Belgrade

08:54where the commission chief met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic,

08:58urging him to make concrete his country's commitment to EU accession.

09:01In Pristina, the Kosovar capital,

09:05von der Leyen met with President Vyosa Osmani

09:07as she looked to advance the bloc's enlargement program in the region

09:11before moving on to North Macedonia.

09:14President Osmani reaffirmed Kosovo's commitment to EU membership

09:18and underlined the vaster forms being made to democratic practices and rule of law indexes.

09:24Von der Leyen also met with acting Kosovar Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

09:28O čemu su tačno razgovarali još uvek nije poznato jer konferencije za medije nije bilo,

09:35ali je zanimljivo da se Ursula von der Leyen sastala sa Albinom Kurtijem

09:40u prostorijama Skupštine Kosova, a ne u prostorijama Vlade.

09:45Ono što je poznato jeste da je stav EU,

09:48da se ni jedan evropski zvaničnik neće sresti ni sa jednim zvaničnikom Kosovske vlade,

09:55sve dok vlada ne bude u punom mandatu.

09:58Za Euronjuz iz Prištine, Anđelka Čup.

10:18Koju Vlade.

10:19During our R&D process, we have made 200 of this and conducted more than 5,000 safety

10:37testing flights in extreme heat, high altitude, extreme cold, moisture area, so it's actually

10:43can handle all the situation.

11:13We have all the equipment and all the equipment and all the equipment we have to do to design these

11:20activities.

11:21We have all the activities to design these activities.

11:23We are currently in Dubai and we are currently in the way of the activities we have in Dubai

11:30and the facilities that we have with the students.

11:36We'll see you next time.
