00:00U.S. President Donald Trump calls critical minerals a key priority as he hosted the leaders of five Central Asian nations at the White House.
00:11Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Riga's Dome Square to protest Latvia's possible withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention.
00:20Pope Leo XIV received Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the Apostolic Palace to discuss a solution to the war in Gaza.
00:30U.S. President Donald Trump hailed leaders of five Central Asian countries after a White House meeting on Thursday as he intensifies his hunt for rare-earth metals needed for high-tech devices, including smartphones, electric vehicles and fighter jets.
00:47At a working dinner with officials from five Central Asian countries, Trump stressed the importance of critical minerals to Washington.
00:54One of the key items on our agenda is critical minerals.
00:58In recent weeks, my administration has strengthened American economic security by forging agreements with allies and friends across the world to broaden our critical mineral supply chain.
01:10We had a great relationship and a great meeting with President Xi of China.
01:13China expanded export restrictions over vital rare-earth metals before announcing after Trump-Xi talks in South Korea that Beijing will delay its new restrictions by one year.
01:27Analysts believe Washington is now seeking new ways to circumvent Beijing in the critical minerals market, which controls roughly 90% of global rare-earth processing.
01:37Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Riga's dome square on Thursday evening to protest Latvia's possible withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention.
01:51It's the second protest in just over a week, with 5,000 people gathering in front of Parliament last Wednesday.
02:00It follows a vote passed by Latvia's Parliament last week to leave the international treaty, which is aimed at supporting women who are victims of violence.
02:09The decision sparked outrage from civil society organizations who saw it as backtracking on fundamental rights.
02:16Earlier this week, Latvia's president sent the law back to Parliament for review, which then decided to postpone the final decision until November next year, when a new Parliament will have taken office.
02:29Critics say the delay does not resolve the issue, and the protests' organizers argued the need for society to continue to stand up against politicians.
02:38The EU as a whole acceded to the Istanbul Convention in 2023, making it a legally binding agreement for the 27 member states in areas falling under the EU's competence.
02:56Defense ministers of the Joint Expeditionary Force have met with their Ukrainian counterparts in Norway to launch an enhanced partnership with Ukraine.
03:05The partnership with Ukraine is being seen as a milestone for strengthening Euro-Atlantic security in the Nordic-Baltic region.
03:13So 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.
03:32Established in 2014, Jeff is a UK-led multinational force made up of 10 European countries.
03:41The coalition seeks to learn from Ukraine's battlefield experience.
03:45In exchange, Jeff countries will deliver training to the Ukrainian armed forces and collaborate on the protection of critical underwater infrastructure, drones and battlefield medicine.
03:55From partners, including Jeff countries, Ukraine seeks access to European technologies and production capacities, on the basis of which we could launch joint manufacturing.
04:08This 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.
04:22The meeting follows the conclusion last week of Tarasys, the coalition's two-month-long operation across the Nordic-Baltic region.
04:33Poland experiences incidents that regularly spark discussions about the country's security.
04:40Research centers analyzed Poles' declared behaviors in the event of armed conflict.
04:45According to an EBRAS poll, half of citizens would report to defend the country.
04:49Meanwhile, pollster indicates that 26% of Poles declare readiness to support the military, while 57% have no intention of getting involved.
04:59Although the percent of the country is not a large, there are only 1,4% of people who are ready to defend the country,
05:06to the 1,4% of the army is a very good army.
05:10The next thing is a little bit of a lack of faith in the army.
05:13Because only half Poles, more than a few, stwierdza, that our army would be able to defend the country.
05:18If I go to war, I would like to be sure that I am well trained and I am well trained.
05:22I will be well trained.
05:23The poll shows that young people are the least inclined to fight for their country.
05:33Euronews decided to ask them about it in person.
05:37Myślę, że zostałbym w kraju.
05:38Na tyle bardzo lubię Polskę i ostatnio coraz bardziej ją lubię, że myślę, że zostałbym tutaj.
05:43I nie wiem w jakiej formie bym jej bronił, ale na pewno bym tu został.
05:47Myślę, że forma wojny jest o tyle nieznana, że nie jestem w stanie jeszcze podjąć decyzji.
05:52Natomiast sam się zastanawiam, czy mam jeszcze taką odwagę, jaką mieli nasi dziadkowie, pradziadkowie kiedyś.
05:59Jeżeli mamy nawiązywać do naszego powstania warszawskiego albo takich rzeczy, no to oczywiście.
06:05Ale jeżeli teraz to były jakieś polityczne zagrania, no to chyba musiałabym się naprawdę długo zastanawiać.
06:11Researchers also asked respondents about their political views.
06:14In a situation of war, voters of the Law and Justice Party and the Civic Coalition are most likely to fight.
06:21Pope Leo XIV received Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the Apostolic Palace on Thursday.
06:32The meeting coincided with the 10th anniversary of the global agreement between the Holy See and the State of Palestine.
06:40The pontiff and Abbas shared their concern for the situation in the Gaza Strip,
06:45emphasizing the urgent need to help the civilian population and to work towards a political solution to the conflict.
06:52We must work for peace with a view to a two-state solution, the Vatican Statement read.
06:59The audience had been planned for weeks.
07:01It is the first time Pope Leo XIV met with the Palestinian President since he was elected.
07:07Before their meeting in the Vatican, the two had spoken on the phone in July,
07:12when the Pope reiterated the key points of any diplomatic dialogue.
07:17Full respect for international humanitarian law, the protection of civilians and holy sites,
07:22and the prohibition of indiscriminate use of force and force displacement of the population.
07:29Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' visit highlights the Vatican's closeness to the Palestinian cause.
07:36The meeting with Pope Leo XIV in the Vatican on Thursday focused on these and on efforts to end the war in Gaza
07:43and provide humanitarian assistance to civilians.
07:45In the next few hours, Abbas will also meet with Italy's Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni.
07:51Giorgio Orlandi for Euronews in Rome.
07:54A state of emergency has been declared in the Philippines after Typhoon Kalmagi left at least 140 people dead
08:04with fears the death toll may rise in what is the biggest natural disaster to hit the country this year.
08:11President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said his state of national calamity measure will allow the government
08:17to disburse emergency funds faster and prevent food hoarding and overpricing.
08:24The typhoon on Wednesday began to blow away from western Palawan province into the South China Sea
08:30with sustained winds of up to 130 km per hour and gusts of up to 180 km per hour.
08:39The Philippines Office of Civil Defense said nearly 2 million people have been impacted by the typhoon's devastation.
08:46Local officials said around 127 people were still missing, many of them in the severely affected central province of Cebu,
08:55a bustling province that was still recovering from a 6.9 magnitude earthquake that struck in September.
09:02On the night of January 13 to the 14th, 1993, the Jan Eveliusz ferry set sail from the port of Siwonisze.
09:16However, no one could have predicted that the voyage would end in the largest peacetime maritime disaster in Polish history.
09:24The disaster shrouded in mystery became the subject of the new Netflix series Heveliusz.
09:31Spora część tego serialu jest dedykowana tej katastrofie i ją pokazuje.
09:36Ale też jeszcze większa część tak naprawdę dotyczy tego, co się działo potem.
09:42Opowiada o ludziach, którzy zostali na lądzie, którzy stracili bliskich, także o ludziach, którzy przeżyli katastrofę.
09:50Jest to nie tylko film katastroficzny, ale jest to też dramat po prostu, dramat społeczny, dramat sądowy.
09:55Although it's a fictional series, the creators put a lot of work into portraying the reality of the events.
10:02Kasper Bayan, który jest autorem scenariusza, przywertował dziesiątki akt, rozmawiał z bardzo wieloma osobami, których ta katastrofa dotyczyła, więc tu jest bardzo dużo prawdy.
10:14The production stands out. It uses a wide range of practical, special and computer effects.
10:21Skala ilości ujęć w pełni cyfrowych, zwłaszcza ujęcia Heveliusza poromu płynącego w nocy w pełnym sztormie.
10:29To były bardzo trudne ujęcia i takiego filmu posiadających ponad 60 ujęci w pełni cyfrowych nie wiedziałem.
10:35Ponadto w całym serialu było około tysiąca ujęć łącznie, które wymagały różnego rodzaju cięższych, bądź lżejszych udziału efektów specjalnych.
10:44Więc pod tym względem na pewno jest to serial wyjątkowy.
10:47The project's skill reflects the dynamism of the Polish film, television and post-production industry.
10:53Myślę, że idziemy w bardzo dobrym kierunku jako Polska, ponieważ przynajmniej my z produkcji na produkcję robimy filmy bądź seriale, które mają coraz większy udział efektów specjalnych, co z punktu widzenia stopnia skomplikowania dla nas jest dość istotne.
11:08Ale też ogólnie jakościowo te produkcje są coraz lepsze, dobrze zrealizowane i coraz większym rozmachem.
11:14Projects like Eveliusz demonstrate the vast talent pool of Polish cinema today.
11:2095% tego serialu powstało w Polsce polskimi rękami i no wydaje mi się, że branża jest konkurencyjna absolutnie w skali europejskiej czy światowej. My tu żadnych kompleksów nie mamy.
11:35The series is now available on Netflix.
