00:00Zoran Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York City, capping a stunning run for the 34-year-old state lawmaker, who is now set to become the city's first Muslim mayor and the youngest in more than a century.
00:14In a victory for the Democratic Party's progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Kurti Sliwa.
00:23According to local report, the 34-year-old Mamdani secured 50.4% of the vote.
00:31I must say this. Thank you. Thank you to the next generation of New Yorkers who refuse to accept that the promise of a better future was a relic of the past.
00:47You showed that when politics speaks to you without condescension, we can usher in a new era of leadership.
00:56We will fight for you because we are you.
01:02Tuesday's vote saw ballots in about half of the U.S. states in what was the first major election of U.S. President Donald Trump's second term.
01:11Voters backed Democrats for gubernatorial positions in New Jersey and Virginia, rejecting Trump's late push for his preferred candidate.
01:20Virginia elected its first female governor, Abigail Spanberger, while voters chose to keep Democrats in power in New Jersey, electing Congresswoman Mikey Sherrill.
01:32Geopolitics took center stage at Euronews Enlargement Summit in Brussels on Tuesday, with leaders from candidate countries framing their ambition to join the European Union.
01:48I see enlargement as much more than just enlargement. It is really the possibility for making our European Union stronger, as you have said. It is the possibility that we, if we do it right, do finally unification of Europe.
02:06Ukraine has chosen to be the EU member through the similar feeling of life, freedom, democracy, humanity, respect to the human rights, just respect to a human, to his or her choice.
02:22So, with Montenegro, European Union is going to prove its very name, is going to prove its concept, is going to prove its values, is going to prove its geopolitical status.
02:31Moldova wants to continue to be a democratic country, wants to be part of the free world, and of course because of the security threats that we have been experiencing,
02:42because of the hybrid war that we have been experiencing, especially since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
02:49We received first positive report for starting negotiations in 2009, together with Croatia, and unfortunately we are in the same place where we were 25 years ago.
03:03We will take it in a very serious and responsible way, all the remarks, all the demands from EU partners, and considering it,
03:16will change our attitudes and our stances on different issues, and will improve our behaviour in the future, and we hope that European Union will notice it.
03:27We have opened five of six clusters within only 11 months, which is an absolute record in terms of speed.
03:38It's something that, until only a few years ago, I would not have been able to imagine, but this is why life is so beautiful.
03:51Despite mounting frustrations on both sides with the enlargement process, the leader's main message was clear.
03:58Expanding the Union is no longer a matter of choice, but of necessity.
04:06Czech billionaire and Prime Minister-designate Andrzej Babiš signed a coalition deal with right-wing allies on Monday.
04:14The move brings him a step closer to assuming the office he held previously between 2017 and 2021.
04:21Babiš's ANO party has teamed up with the Motorist Party, who are climate change skeptics,
04:27and the Freedom and Direct Democracy Party, or SPD, which is against the EU and NATO.
04:33The incoming Prime Minister says he hopes his coalition will materialize and take the reins by mid-December.
04:39The announcement comes after Babiš was asked by Czech President Petr Pavel to form a new government following his party's victory in last month's parliamentary elections.
04:49The ANO party won 34.5% of the vote, securing 92 seats in the 200-seat chamber, despite being previously projected to score far lower figures, ranging between 60 and 72 parliamentarians.
05:04Babiš promised to present the coalition agreement and its priorities to Pavel later this week.
05:10Many are worried his return, backed by French Euro skeptics, could decrease support for Ukraine.
05:16Before even taking office, the incoming Premier has already vowed to cut all aid from Prague to Kiev.
05:23Peru has announced the severing of diplomatic ties with Mexico.
05:32It comes after former Peruvian Prime Minister Betsy Chavez, who is under investigation for rebellion,
05:38fled to the Mexican embassy in Peru to request asylum.
05:42The country's foreign minister said the government decided to cut ties,
05:45as the Mexican government has been interfering in a, quote,
05:48inadmissible and systematic manner in Peru's internal affairs.
05:52In 2022, authorities accused Chavez of participating in a coup d'etat together with former President Pedro Castillo.
06:01Lima is seeking to sentence Chavez, who was Castillo's prime minister at the time, to up to 25 years in prison.
06:08Travelers across U.S. airports continue to experience major flight delays and cancellations
06:17due to an uptick in absences from air traffic controllers caused by the government shutdown.
06:24Almost 13,000 air traffic controllers in the U.S. have been working without pay since October,
06:31when the government shutdown began. But not all of them are willing to do so,
06:36with many taking sick leave, making it increasingly difficult to keep to the schedule.
06:41I just feel this is America. And you feel when you come to America that things will work properly.
06:48And so we're going to be here probably for about five hours now because we thought we had to check in early
06:55because of what's going on. So slightly disappointing.
06:58The U.S. government shutdown is due to enter its 35th day by Tuesday evening,
07:03when it will tie with the 2018 to 2019 shutdown as the longest in U.S. history.
07:10According to the Washington, D.C.-based bipartisan policy center,
07:15at least 670,000 civilian federal employees have been temporarily suspended,
07:21while some 730,000 are working without paying.
07:26Doha is hosting the Second World Summit for Social Development, a global gathering of leaders, experts, and civil society.
07:40The summit is focusing on poverty, climate change, and how technology is reshaping jobs and social protection.
07:47This is the first time a U.N. meeting of this scale is being held outside New York or Geneva.
07:52Delegates will adopt the Doha Political Declaration on Social Development,
07:56calling for global action on social justice, inclusion, and sustainable development.
08:02People escape poverty. They become migrants. They become, you know, socially exploited, abused.
08:08We see this in Europe as well. We see this. And we think that, in Europe, we think that it's our responsibility
08:14not just to fight poverty and social exclusion at home with the people that live in Europe.
08:19We have a responsibility towards our neighboring regions, countries, continents, and towards the whole planet, I think.
08:27High-level forums are pushing leaders to turn commitments into concrete results,
08:31while discussions are giving officials a chance to share ideas and practical solutions from around the world.
08:37We know that half of the population still cannot enjoy any sort of social protection.
08:44This is extremely dangerous. And it's also extremely dangerous for peace, because this creates a huge instability in the world.
08:52With the world gathering in Doha, there are high expectations for tangible outcomes.
08:56Youth groups, NGOs, and activists are demanding decisive action to fight poverty and inequality.
09:02More than 800 million people still live in extreme poverty, according to the UN.
09:06And officials say innovation will be key to turning commitments into solutions.
09:11Muhammad Al-Ashi, your news, Doha.
09:14The man who had been trapped under rubble after a medieval tower in Rome collapse has died from his injury shortly after he had been rescued.
09:26Part of the medieval Torre dei Conti collapsed Monday morning during renovation work.
09:32Three workers were rescued unharmed, another worker was hospitalized in critical condition, and the fifth worker, a 66-year-old Romanian man, had remained stuck under the rubble.

09:50He was rushed to the hospital, but his heart stopped while he was in the ambulance.

10:20As countries, non-profit organizations, academics and more prepare to gather in Brazil for the annual climate summit COP30,
10:32a new UN report revealed the world is heading for a serious escalation of climate risks and damages.
10:39In its yearly Emissions Gap report, the UN Environment Programme indicates that under current pledges,
10:46the predicted global temperature rise over the course of this century has only slightly fallen.
10:51The report finds that only 60 parties to the Paris Agreement covering 63% of greenhouse gas emissions
10:58had submitted or announced new mitigation targets for 2035.
11:03Implementing only current policies would see global temperatures rise by 2.8 degrees Celsius,
11:09progress from last year's predicted 3.1 degrees but not enough, the authors say.
11:14They add that countries now need to go all in on climate action.
11:19The European Union is one of the six largest contributors to total greenhouse gas emissions, the report said.
11:25The EU's current target is to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 66 to 72% from 1990 levels by 2035.
11:35The EU's current target is aüble of ötribution, which is a sub-regul, which is coal-fed to southern high-end,
11:41and the European Union is a sub-regulant, which is a sub-regulant because of its own.
11:46The EU has one of the two-run players for its own.
11:47The European Union is a sub-regulant, which is a sub-regulant, which is equal to the Australian government
11:48that is currently being in the United States.
