00:00Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy will begin his five-year sentence in La Santé prison in Paris on Tuesday.

00:10A court in Slovakia sentenced the man who attempted to assassinate Slovak Prime Minister Robert Vito to 21 years in prison on terrorism charges.

00:21Over 48 hours have passed since historic jewels were stolen in broad daylight from the Louvre, the world's most visited museum.

00:30Nicolas Sarkozy arrived at La Santé prison in Paris on Tuesday, where he will serve a five-year sentence.

00:39He is the first former French president in living memory to be imprisoned.

00:44The judge ruled the former French leader would start his prison sentence without waiting for his appeal to be heard,

00:50citing the seriousness of the disruption to public order caused by the offense.

00:55In September, a Paris court found Sarkozy guilty of criminal conspiracy involving the use of funds from Libya to finance his 2007 presidential campaign.

01:19He is expected to be held either in solitary confinement or in a prisoner's section for vulnerable inmates, also known as the so-called VIP section.

01:28It's a first in the history of the European Union, a former head of state behind bars.

01:39Nicolas Sarkozy, president of France from 2007 to 2012, entered the La Santé prison right behind me in Paris this Tuesday morning.

01:50The 70-year-old is serving a five-year-old is serving a five-year sentence for criminal conspiracy for the Libyan financing of his 2007 presidential campaign.

02:02Sarkozy has appealed the verdict, as has the prosecutor's office.

02:08This morning, his sons called for a show of support near his family home in Paris,

02:15and hundreds of people gathered in support of the former president.

02:19Nicolas, Nicolas, Nicolas, Nicolas, Nicolas, Nicolas, Nicolas !

02:24Ce sont des habitudes qui doivent changer, c'est très bien, mais ça ne mérite absolument pas la prison pour Sarkozy.

02:32C'est quelque chose d'absolument totalement aberrant.

02:36Je ressens beaucoup de tristesse, tristesse pour celui qui a été notre guide pendant cinq ans,

02:42qui a été président de notre pays, qui a mené l'État, la France,

02:47de la tristesse et des interrogations par rapport à cette condamnation qui semble quand même assez sévère.

02:53J'ai honte pour la France.

02:55J'ai honte pour un président qui a tellement fait, qui est sincère,

03:00qui a lutté pendant la crise des subprimes,

03:03qui a fait vraiment, puis même, je veux dire, c'est pas normal de le mettre en prison.

03:08C'est complètement absurde, ça ne sert à rien, absolument à rien, à part à l'humilier, à humilier la France.

03:15J'ai un peu honte, j'avoue, j'ai un peu honte, vis-à-vis du monde entier.

03:21On vient comme des pays sous-développés presque.

03:26Enfin bon, je trouve ça terrible.

03:27Once Sarkozy is officially registered as an inmate,

03:32his lawyers will immediately request his release pending appeal.

03:36The courts will have up to two months to decide,

03:39though a ruling could come much earlier.

03:44Sophia Katsankova reporting from Paris for Euronews.

03:47NATO's beginning to wind down its major annual nuclear deterrence military exercise,

03:56dubbed Steadfast Noon, which is set to come to a close on Friday.

04:00This year's exercises are being hosted primarily by the Netherlands,

04:04but were spread across three other nations,

04:07Denmark, Belgium, and the UK.

04:10The drill, which featured participation from 14 of the Alliance's member states

04:14and over 70 fighter jets, kicked off on Monday, the 13th of October.

04:20Bomber and fighter jets that can carry nuclear warheads

04:23took off from the Volkhal Air Base in the southeast of the Netherlands.

04:27The bulk of the drills were held in the airspace of the North Sea region.

04:32We mentally prepare the people involved,

04:35actually executing on a tactical level,

04:38the mission to be able to do this mission.

04:39There are multiple steps involved,

04:41keeping those pilots up to speed

04:45to be able to perform them.

04:46It's not like everybody can do it.

04:49It's a special mission within NATO.

04:52And though no live munitions or nuclear weapons were being used,

04:56the drills aimed to simulate real-life scenarios

04:58to boost preparedness in the face of threats.

05:02NATO officials would not say

05:03what kind of scenarios were used

05:05to test the Alliance's nuclear readiness.

05:07They, however, insisted that it's not directed towards any particular country,

05:12nor related to current international events.

05:18A court in Slovakia has sentenced the man

05:21who shot and injured Prime Minister Robert Vito

05:23to 21 years in prison on terrorism charges.

05:27The verdict was delivered on Tuesday

05:29by one of Slovakia's specialized criminal courts.

05:32The 72-year-old would-be assassin

05:35targeted the populist Slovak leader in May last year

05:38as he was departing a government meeting.

05:41The meeting had been held in Handlova,

05:44around 140 kilometers north of the capital, Bratislava.

05:49Vito was shot in the abdomen

05:50and rushed to hospital

05:51to undergo an emergency operation,

05:54which was successful.

05:55The attacker, who refused to testify during the trial,

06:00previously said he targeted the Slovak premier

06:02because he disagreed with his policies

06:04and pro-Russian stance.

06:06He noted that he did not intend to kill Vito

06:09and was only aiming to injure him,

06:11adding that he was relieved to hear of his survival.

06:14A cable that snapped on the Lisbon funicular

06:21causing a crash that killed some 16 people last month

06:25was not certified for use in public transport,

06:29an official investigation has found.

06:32According to a report released on Monday

06:34by Portugal's Accident Investigation Office,

06:37the cable had accumulated maintenance issues

06:40and did not meet specifications set by CARIS,

06:44the municipal transport operator.

06:47The report called for all Lisbon cable cars

06:50to be kept out of service for urgent modifications.

06:54The disaster, described as one of the biggest human tragedies

06:57in the country's history,

06:59unfolded after the iconic Gloria Funicular

07:02came off the rails and hurtled into a building,

07:06killing 16 people and leaving 21 others injured.

07:10If a driver gets their driving license revoked in one EU country,

07:17it's automatically invalidated in all 26 others.

07:20This is one of the new measures approved on Tuesday

07:23by the European Parliament.

07:25It intends to stop reckless drivers from continuing to drive

07:28after having committed major traffic offenses,

07:32such as excessive speeding and driving under the influence.

07:36Lawmakers also approved a new form of permits

07:38in digital driver's licenses.

07:41It's poised to become the main form of documentation in the block

07:44and will be accessible via smartphones.

07:4817-year-olds will also be able to get behind the wheel,

07:51as the block approved plans to allow them to obtain provisional licenses,

07:55so long as they are accompanied by an experienced driver,

07:58until they turn 18.

07:59The new rules, conformed on the EU level,

08:02are expected to come into force within three years,

08:05pending approval at the national level.

08:08They aim to enhance road safety,

08:10as the EU looks two inch closer to its goal of halving road deaths by 2030.

08:15Over 48 hours have passed since historic jewels were stolen in broad daylight

08:26from the Louvre, the world's most visited museum.

08:30According to art experts, it's a race against time,

08:33as the first 48 hours are crucial for the recovery of the jewels.

08:37Several speculate the criminals may get caught,

08:40but the jewelry itself may never be recovered.

08:42The stolen jewels are nearly impossible to sell on the open market.

08:47Instead, the gemstones may be cut and the gold melted down.

08:50They chose this room because it was close to a window.

08:54They chose these jewels because they figured that they could break them apart,

09:00take out the settings, take out the diamonds and the sapphires and the emeralds,

09:06and take them to Israel, take them to Antwerp, India,

09:10find a dodgy dealer that's willing to recut them,

09:14and no one would ever know what they did.

09:17The heist sparked public outrage and has been criticized as a, quote,

09:22national humiliation by several French lawmakers.

09:25It also raised questions over museum security,

09:28for which officials at the Louvre had previously warned there was a lack of investment.

09:32The criticism resulted in blame games,

09:36with accusations going as far as pointing the finger at the museum's head of security,

09:41Dominique Buffin, calling her a diversity hire.

09:44But art expert Christopher Marinello says museum high star on the rise in Europe.

09:49In France itself, at least four museums have been robbed in recent months.

09:53Social media such as TikTok are now almost synonymous with the younger generations

10:00and modern digital culture.

10:02However, social media have also become an unlikely home

10:05for the more historical of topics, like traditional craftsmanship.

10:09Tradicyjny content is bardzo popular,

10:11bo to jest coś, czego na co dzień też nie widzimy.

10:15Rzemiosło jest jednak okraszone tą taką odrobiną tajemniczości,

10:20i to, co dzieje się w warsztacie rzemieślnika.

10:23Pokazanie tego procesu twórczego często,

10:27pracy z materiałem surowym,

10:29jest dla użytkownika platformy interesujące.

10:33I kiedy ktoś pozwala zajrzeć z tyłu do warsztatu,

10:37pokazuje to, co się dzieje w jego pracowni,

10:39buduje to także więź użytkownika z tym przedmiotem,

10:44a także z tym konkretnym przedsiębiorcą.

10:48According to experts, craftsmen rely on new media,

10:52not only for entertainment, but also business purposes.

10:57Po pierwsze, po to, aby opowiadać o sobie,

11:00o swoim rzemiośle, o swojej firmie,

11:02a także promować je, swoje produkty i usługi.

11:05A po drugie, także pozyskuje się poprzez nią wiedzę

11:12od naszych produktów albo od usług.

11:14Pozwala on nas spojrzeć poza granice Polski

11:17i zobaczyć, czego oczekuje klient zagraniczny.

11:20A to z kolei buduje dla małych przedsiębiorstw

11:22szanse na to, żeby wyjść ze swoim produktem

11:25na świat i działać globalnie.

11:29Over 900 milionów videos
