00:18A state of emergency has been declared in the Philippines after Typhoon Kalmegi left at least 140 people dead with fears the death toll may rise in what is the biggest natural disaster to hit the country this year.
00:35President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said his state of national calamity measure will allow the government to disperse emergency funds faster and prevent food hoarding and overpricing.
00:47The typhoon on Wednesday began to blow away from western Palawan province into the South China Sea with sustained winds of up to 130 km per hour and gusts of up to 180 km per hour.
01:02The Philippines Office of Civil Defense said nearly 2 million people have been impacted by the typhoon's devastation.

02:59Climate activists have projected messages about climate change onto Rio de Janeiro's iconic buildings as world leaders arrive in Brazil for the UN Climate Summit, COP30.
03:13The installations displayed slogans such as polluters pay, protect forests and people, and COP30 Brazil Amazon.
03:22In Belém, the venue of the climate conference, activists from several organizations protested, demanding stronger action from politicians to fight climate change.
03:32They're accusing lawmakers of empty promises and pledges, and are demanding this year's summit be one focused on action and not words.
03:41It comes after the UN published concerning figures in a recent report, asserting that current climate targets will not curb global warming and its harmful impacts.
03:50For 30 years, world leaders and politicians have gathered at the annual COP summit to come up with initiatives to curb climate change, responsible for many disasters like ice melting, hurricanes, and storms.
04:03The Earth's temperature, however, has continued to rise due to excessive pollution, and with it worsening extreme weather conditions.
04:10NATO Chief Mark Rudd has downplayed concerns over the partial withdrawal of US troops from Romania, saying their force in Europe remains, quote, larger than ever.
04:29In a visit to Romania on Wednesday, Rudd explained that adjustments to US military are not unusual,
04:35and that Washington remains committed to defending the alliance's eastern flank.
04:43Many more US forces on the continent than before 2022, and you have seen the commitment by President Trump and his administration,
04:52made very clear at the summit in The Hague of his total commitment to NATO and to our joint endeavors.
04:59The US announced last week that it would withdraw a rotating brigade currently stationed in the country and not replace it,
05:07insisting in a statement that it's a positive sign of increased European capability.
05:15A NATO exercise this month in Romania and Bulgaria, in which some 5,000 troops will take part,
05:21shows that the bloc is capable of immediate, large-scale movements, says Romanian president, Něcorser Dhan.
05:28The pricing of the Easternาน program means, on one side, more military capabilities, more capabilities,
05:40After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Nilo has bolstered its presence on Europe's eastern flank substantially.
05:59Defense ministers of the Joint Expeditionary Force have met with their Ukrainian counterparts in Norway to launch an enhanced partnership with Ukraine.
06:11The partnership with Ukraine is being seen as a milestone for strengthening Euro-Atlantic security in the Nordic-Baltic region.
06:18So this is a powerful signal to Putin and any other would-be aggressors, that Jeff is stronger than ever, more united than ever, more innovative than ever, more flexible in our operational responses than ever.
06:39Established in 2014, Jeff is a UK-led multinational force made up of 10 European countries.
06:46The coalition seeks to learn from Ukraine's battlefield experience.
06:50In exchange, Jeff countries will deliver training to the Ukrainian armed forces and collaborate on the protection of critical underwater infrastructure, drones and battlefield medicine.
07:01From partners including Jeff countries, Ukraine seeks access to European technologies and production capacities, on the basis of which we could launch joint manufacturing.
07:12This modern weaponry will not only defend Ukraine now, it will guarantee Europe's security for years to come and reliably protect its eastern flank from permanent Russian aggression.
07:26The meeting follows the conclusion last week of terrorists, the coalition's two-month-long operation across the Nordic-Baltic region.
07:33On the sidelines of the Euronews Enlargement Summit in Brussels, we took the pulse of the audience to get their take on the summit and the context around it.
07:47The war in Ukraine gave renewed impetus to the enlargement process, according to this attendee.
07:53We have a threat, as you know, the Russian threat, so we have to unite as fast as we can.
07:58Despite North Macedonia being stuck in the waiting room for two decades, enlargement remains a top priority for the EU, according to this North Macedonian attendee.
08:07It takes two to tango, so the most important thing here is that the candidate countries should also do a lot of reforms and homework, but also the European Commission and the EU Council has to deliver.
08:20According to this Ukrainian human rights activist who advocate for the rights of people with disabilities, the enlargement process will act as a catalyst for reform in countries vying for EU membership status.
08:31We see the enlargement process as a chance to push the Ukrainian government to have real reforms in this sphere, and we expect that European Commission and European Union will support civil society in this process.
08:47On the other hand, this lawyer believes the enlargement process should not be sped up at the expense of integration efforts.
08:53We should be careful, we should be patient, not speed up too much, because still, now, the 27 member states, they are not really very well integrated among themselves.
09:06On the night of January 13 to the 14th, 1993, the Jan Eveliusz ferry set sail from the port of Szymonysze.
09:19However, no one could have predicted that the voyage would end in the largest peacetime maritime disaster in Polish history.
09:28The disaster, shrouded in mystery, became the subject of the new Netflix series Eveliusz.
09:33Although it's a fictional series, the creators put a lot of work into port of Szymonysze.
10:02The production stands out. It uses a wide range of practical, special and computer effects.
10:23The project's skill reflects the dynamism of the Polish film.

11:07co z punktu widzenia stopnia skomplikowania dla nas jest dość istotne, ale też ogólnie jakościowo te produkcje są coraz lepsze, dobrze zrealizowane i coraz większym rozmachem.
11:17Projects like Eveliusz demonstrate the vast talent pool of Polish cinema today.
11:2395% tego serialu powstało w Polsce polskimi rękami i no wydaje mi się, że branża jest konkurencyjna absolutnie w skali europejskiej czy światowej.
11:35My tu żadnych kompleksów nie mamy.
11:37The series is now available on Netflix.
