00:01The world's most powerful storm this year, Hurricane Melissa, raced toward Jamaica with
00:06wind speeds of up to 282 km per hour early Tuesday, barreling northeast through the Caribbean
00:13Sea. According to local officials, Melissa caused the deaths of some three people in
00:19the country on Monday. Although major impacts are only expected when the Category 5 storm
00:26makes landfall later on Tuesday, some people already spent the night in storm shelters.
00:33The US-based National Hurricane Center predicted that as much as 102 cm of rainfall was possible
00:40in part of Jamaica over the next four days before Melissa weakens. The storm is expected
00:47to also hit Cuba and bring severe weather to other parts of the Caribbean, including the
00:53Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands. Meanwhile, the UN said on Monday it has
01:00readied aid for Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti to help those affected by the hurricane.
01:06Melissa is the world's strongest storm so far this year and, at its current strength,
01:12would be the strongest hurricane to hit Jamaica since record-keeping began in 1851.
01:18A powerful earthquake struck western Turkey on Monday, causing at least three buildings to collapse,
01:28local officials reported. According to the Disaster and Emergency Management Agency, the structures
01:37had already been damaged in a previous earthquake and no immediate casualties were confirmed.
01:42The 6.1-magnitude quake which struck late Monday was centered in Sundurgi in the northwestern Balkesir province,
01:54sending several aftershocks which were felt in Istanbul and nearby provinces.
01:58The interior ministry said at least 22 people were injured due to panic-related falls.
02:13Sundurgi had already been struck in August by a magnitude 6.1 earthquake which killed one person
02:19and injured dozens of other people.
02:28Turkey has signed a deal with the UK worth roughly 9 billion euros to purchase 20 Eurofighter Typhoon jets.
02:35Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hailed the agreement as a quote,
02:40new symbol of the strategic relationship between the two close allies.
02:44And British Prime Minister Keir Starmer added that the agreement provides the option for the sale of more jets in the future.
02:52Eurofighter Typhoon savaş uçaklarının tedarikine dair uygulama düzenlemeleri heyetler arası görüşmelerde imzalandı.
03:03Bu mutabakatı iki yakın müttefik olarak aramızdaki stratejik ilişkilerin yeni bir nişanesi olarak görüyorum.
03:15Our countries may sit at either end of Europe, but we're strong partners working more closely
03:23together now than ever before. We're united behind our collective security as NATO allies.
03:31The jets are manufactured by a group of countries, including the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain.
03:38Ankara and London had already signed a preliminary deal for the Eurofighters back in July.
03:43The deal over the summer followed shortly after Germany decided to lift its long-standing
03:48opposition to the sale of the jets to Turkey.
03:52Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was received in a private meeting on Monday morning by Popplio XIV
04:00here in Rome before meeting Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney later on in the afternoon.
04:06The last time Orban was in Rome was last December, so almost one year ago.
04:11And the visit comes ahead of Hungary's next general elections, which are due to take place
04:16in April and which are said to be quite crucial for Viktor Orban himself.
04:22Now, we understand that the war in Ukraine took center stage in the talks, as he did with Pope
04:28Francis. Viktor Orban wanted to highlight to both the pontiff and Italy's Prime Minister
04:34Giorgia Maloney, that Hungary is calling for an end to the war in Ukraine.
04:39And let's remind ourselves that Viktor Orban is the leader of perhaps the only one, if not
04:44one of the few EU countries that has maintained strong ties with Moscow.
04:50And we also understand, that's according to reports in the Italian media, that sanctions
04:54against Russia very likely were part of the discussions with Orban opposing the measures and Maloney finding
05:03herself in a position to mediate between Orban and the rest of EU leaders.
05:09Orban told Italian newspaper La Repubblica that the economy of the EU was another topic on the agenda
05:18of today's talks.

05:26The rule of law has decreased in over two-thirds of EU countries in 2025, according to the rule
05:33of law index published on Tuesday by the World Justice Project.
05:37The rule of law can be defined as a durable system of laws, institutions, norms and community
05:43commitment that delivers four universal principles, accountability, just law, open government and
05:50accessible and impartial justice.
05:52Out of the 27 EU member states, Bulgaria and Hungary were the ones with the lowest rule
05:57of law scores.
05:58On the opposite end of the spectrum, eight EU countries ranked among the top 10 globally
06:03in the rule of law index, with Denmark retaining the first position worldwide.
06:07In 2025, Slovakia and Hungary saw the sharpest decline.
06:11All eight of the factors are declining for Hungary, so it really ranges from declines in constraints
06:17on government powers, absence of corruption, open government, fundamental rights, civil justice,
06:23criminal justice, regulatory enforcement and order and security.
06:27The largest increases were observed in Ireland and Poland.
06:31The global trend that we're seeing is declines in constraints on government powers, fundamental
06:35rights and open government.
06:37Ireland and Poland are both showing improvements in all of those factors.
06:42The decline in rule of law is being observed worldwide and not just in Europe.
06:46Justice systems in the majority of countries around the world have also been facing greater
06:51political interference.
06:52In the heart of the Karakalpak desert, in northwestern Uzbekistan, far from the world's art capitals,
07:04stands a museum that changed the way we think about where culture can live.
07:09This is the Sovetsky museum, known to many at the Louvre in the desert.
07:23Inside, every wall tells a story.
07:27From the bold lines of Russian avant-garde painters to the silent fragments of ancient tourism.
07:35Here, forgotten art found its home.
07:37Our museum was founded in 1966 by the Moscow artist
07:42Igor Vittalievich Savitsky.
07:44Igor Vittalievich first came to us in Karakalpakstan in the 1950s in the 1950s,
07:49in order of the famous Haryazam-Sky-Archelg-Ethnographic expedition in the form of a permanent artist.
07:54Our museum takes the second place in the world in the collection of Russian avant-garde,
08:00after the famous Russian Museum in Sankt-Petersburg.
08:03And the collection of our museum includes more than 100,000 exhibits,
08:06and more than 80,000 of them will be collected by Igor Vittalievich Savitsky
08:10for his entire life that he lived here in Karakalpakstan.
08:15Savitsky, a Moscow artist turned collector, fell in love with this remote region.
08:21What began as a modest effort to preserve local crafts became one of the world's greatest collections of suppressed and forgotten art.
08:30Among the museum's treasures are sculptural works carved from wood and stone,
08:43traditional jewellery and handcrafted household items that reveal the artistry of everyday life in Karakalpakstan.
08:50Nebai vivid paintings capture local traditions and faces, scenes of people, nature and color that echo through time.
09:00Together, these collections form a living dialogue between heritage and creativity.
09:06Savitsky's vision built the bridge between the past and modern identity.
09:11Конечно, ежегодно нас посещают много посетителей, как местные, так и зарубежные туристы.
09:18Интерес растет каждым днем, каждым годом, конечно.
09:23Если в прошлом году нас посетили свыше 60 тысяч человек,
09:28то уже за 9 месяцев посетили наш музей свыше 11 тысяч иностранных туристов
09:35и более 48 тысяч наших местных туристов.
09:40The Savitsky Museum is more than a gallery.
09:44It's a story of defiance, passion and rediscovery,
09:48proof that even in the desert art can bloom and endure.
10:10ộп Yes, о.
