00:00The U.N. Security Council has approved on Monday a U.S.-drafted resolution supporting President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza.
00:10Russian drones attack the Ukrainian city of Dnepro, injuring two and damaging the city's newsroom of public broadcaster Suspirna.

00:30The U.S. plan for Gaza has been approved by the U.N. Security Council.
00:37The vote endorses U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan, also known as the 20-point ceasefire plan.
00:43The plan proposes the creation of a board led by Trump to oversee governance and reconstruction in Gaza.
00:50It also calls for the establishment of an international stabilization force.
00:54While the proposal outlines a potential path towards an independent Palestinian state, the language remains weak, offering neither a timeline nor any guarantees.
01:0613 out of 15 members voted in favor of the resolution.
01:11Russia, which submitted a separate proposal on Gaza last week, along with China, abstained the vote but did not use its veto power.
01:18Trump applauded the vote, calling it one of the biggest approvals in the history of the United Nations.
01:25Hamas, on the other hand, opposed the resolution.
01:27The group believes it fails to meet Palestinian people's political and humanitarian demands and that it does not safeguard their rights.
01:34U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday he will sell F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia, despite some concerns surrounding the sale from within the administration.
01:49His comments came on the eve of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's highly anticipated Washington visit, his first to the United States in more than seven years.
01:59They want to buy. You've been a great ally. They've got to like us very much. Look at the Iran situation, what we did in terms of obliterating, you know, their, we obliterated their nuclear capability. Yeah, I will say that we will be doing that.
02:16Some members of Trump's administration have been wary about potentially upsetting Israel as Trump is trying to persuade Saudi Arabia and Israel to normalize relations.
02:25On Friday, Trump said he hoped Saudi Arabia would be joining the Abraham Accords, a pact that formalized commercial and diplomatic ties between Israel and a trio of Arab nations.
02:44Russian drones attacked the Ukrainian city of Dnepro overnight in the Tuesday, damaging the city's newsroom of public broadcasters Suspilna and Ukrainian radio Dnepro.
02:54Suspilna said windows and doors were blown out. The roof and ceilings were damaged and a fire broke out. No staff were inside at the time of the attack.
03:05The nationwide public broadcaster operates television, radio and online news across regional outlets throughout Ukraine.
03:13Throughout the city, several fires broke out as a result of the attack, damaging private businesses, garages, apartment buildings and shops.
03:21The regional governor said two people were injured and a total of 30 drones were shot down.
03:27Russian forces also launched missiles at the city of Beristin in the Kharkiv region, killing a 17-year-old girl and injuring nine others, according to regional authorities.
03:39Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched a total of four ballistic missiles and 114 drones at Ukraine overnight, of which 101 drones were intercepted.
03:49The attacks on Ismail port began at midnight, but it wasn't until morning that the locals saw that a tanker was also attacked.
04:03It was on fire and it was on fire and that was the moment that the authorities decided that the people from village Plaoru needs to be evacuated.
04:15After a few hours, authorities estimated that the people from the village Chatal Kyoi needs to be evacuated also.
04:28There are 300 persons now that are coming with this ship to Tulca.
04:35They will stay overnight here until the authorities will decide what will happen next.
04:44It was a critical situation these hours because the ship is still on fire and we don't know what it will happen.
04:56But authorities thought that the situation is critical and it's very dangerous for the people to remain at their homes.
05:07The military from these areas were also evacuated and you see now that authorities are transporting people to a safe place until maybe the Ukrainians will manage to stop the fire.
05:27The tanker, the tanker, the tanker is full with GPL and we don't know what it will happen if that tank will explode.

05:43Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk has described a weekend explosion along a railway line linking Warsaw to southeastern Poland
05:56as an unprecedented act of sabotage that could have led to disaster.
06:01There were no casualties from the incident but Tusk, who visited the site on Monday,
06:06said the line is crucially important for delivering aid to Ukraine.
06:10officials said further inspections found damage to sections of track along the railway line.
06:17The attack comes amid a campaign of sabotage in Poland and other European countries
06:35that has been attributed to Russian security services over EU support for Ukraine.
06:41Polish authorities say they have already launched an investigation into the blast
06:45as well as another incident over the weekend that appeared to involve rail sabotage.
06:54Ursula von der Leyen has urged EU countries to come up with a plan by December
06:59to bridge Ukraine's financing gap. Based on IMF projections that the war could end by the end of
07:052026, Ukrainian budgetary and military needs for the next two years amount to 135 billion euros.
07:13In a letter on Monday, the President of the European Commission outlined three different options
07:18for providing additional financial support to Ukraine.
07:2190 billion euros in EU countries' bilateral contributions, the assistance would be disbursed
07:28as a non-repayable grant and be accounted against a member state's national budget,
07:33joint debt, the interest would have to be covered by either national guarantees or the bloc's common budget,
07:39and 140 billion euros in a reparations loan based on frozen Russian assets.
07:44Kiev would be asked to repay the loan only after Moscow agrees to compensate for the damages.
07:56to Kiev based on Russian assets held at Euroclear, a financial services company headquartered in Brussels.
08:03Von der Leyen's meeting with Belgian Prime Minister Bart Deweyver last Friday to advance the talks
08:08has so far resulted in limited progress.
08:11Ukraine has signed a deal to buy up to 100 Rafale fighter jets from France.
08:23Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a letter of intent in Paris alongside his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron.
08:30This agreement is expected to take place over a 10-year period, according to the Élysée Palace.
08:36Zelensky called the deal historic and in addition to fighter jets, Ukraine will also purchase drones and other defense systems.
09:03Macron believes that the agreement will strengthen Kiev's deterrence capability and prevent any attempt at incursion in the future.
09:32South African-born artist Ralph Zeman has spent his life fighting violence, not with weapons but with art.
09:42His monumental installations where he interpret military symbols to transform them into tools for dialogue and reflection.
09:48Even as a young kid I was very much aware of the injustice.
09:51I was brought up by my parents but also very much by the African staff who worked at my house.
09:55To see the sheer brutality that the apartheid state brought down on black people to keep them in fear and suppressed really made an impression on me.
10:05Weapons of mass production is a three-piece art project consisting of replicas of an AK-47 assault rifle, a Casper armoured personal carrier and a MiG-21 fighter jet.
10:15Each of these objects was covered with millions of glass beads crafted by African artisans.
10:19It was seen as a low craft. It was done by black people under apartheid. It was something that was sold to tourists and perceived as having very little value.
10:27I wanted to take those skills and those talents and turn it into modern contemporary art.
10:33According to the artist, each part of the project symbolizes a different dimension of violence.
10:37So the first was the AK-47. It dealt with gun violence. It dealt with the proliferation of weapons.
10:44The second in the series was the Casper. It was designed and built in South Africa in the 80s.
10:50And then they sold them to repressive governments around the world.
10:53So thirdly, coming to the MiG-21 is the most mass-produced supersonic fighter jet of all time.
11:00Zeeman believes that physical proximity to an object of war transformed into an art piece is an act of reclaiming power over violence.
11:06Each beat, hand-arranged by hundreds of artists, becomes a gesture of resistance against the militarization of the world.
11:13The whole world is on a nice edge. I think it's good to have a counter-narrative to all of this.
11:18In a world that's increasingly dangerous, I think these are things we should be discussing.
11:23The MiG-21 project has garnered significant media attention. Eventually, the aircraft will be sold,
11:29and all proceeds will go towards funding educational programs and art therapy.
