00:00Russia launched hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles in a large-scale attack across Ukraine
00:07overnight on Wednesday. The strikes targeted energy and transport sites as well as civilian
00:14infrastructure in several regions, according to authorities. At least 46 people were injured
00:21in Kharkiv, the regional governor said, as firefighters worked to battle blazes and evacuate
00:26residents. In Ternopil in western Ukraine, 10 people died after two nine-story residential
00:33buildings were hit. Twelve children were among 37 injured there. An energy facility was struck in
00:40the Lviv region, authorities said, with no injuries reported. Ternopil and Lviv are situated away from
00:48the main front lines in western Ukraine, where many people from the east and south came for relative
00:53safety. In response to Wednesday's attacks, Poland temporarily closed its Lublin and Zhezhov
01:00airports, according to the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency. The airports were closed to
01:06accommodate the deployment of fighter jets to ensure the safety of Polish airspace.
01:10Europe is trying to rearm fast, but is lacking qualified people to design or produce the volume of
01:22material needed. To meet this challenge, the European Commission on Wednesday proposed an upskilling plan
01:29as part of its defence industry transformation roadmap. The EU says it wants 600,000 people to be upskilled or
01:37re-skilled for the defence industry by 2030. Andrius Kubilius, the European Commissioner for Defence, told
01:44Euronews that the measures aimed to upscale around 12% of the existing defence and aerospace workforce each year.
01:52This shortage is a problem for both the supply side, where disruptive technologies such as AI and quantum are being
02:00developed for defence applications, and the demand side, where armed forces and procurement bodies need
02:06expertise to quickly acquire and integrate these new systems. In 2023, the EU defence industry generated
02:13around 581,000 jobs and a turnover of 158.8 billion euros.
02:24Afghanistan does not have the capacity to absorb returnees due to poverty, harsh climate conditions,
02:30the impact of recent earthquakes and the Taliban's restrictions on women's and girls' rights, according to a report by the UN Development Agency.
02:39There is a disconnect between what is going on globally, with saying, OK, you all have to head
02:50back into Afghanistan, and the ability for Afghan communities to absorb people coming back home.
02:59This inability to absorb returnees contrasts with the EU's efforts to reach an agreement with the Taliban to return rejected Afghan asylum seekers.
03:08It follows a call made by 20 European countries in October to return irregular Afghan migrants living in Europe, either voluntarily or by force.
03:17The number one issue to negotiate on as a European Union, as they look to either deport or return the Afghans seeking asylum or those who are already, you know, there.
03:34I would say it's negotiating for the freedom and rights of women and girls.
03:39Over the past two years, more than 4.5 million people have returned to Afghanistan, mainly from Iran and Pakistan.
03:47Yet over 60 percent of returnees households had received no support in the past year.
03:52With 44 million people, Afghanistan is among the poorest countries worldwide.
03:57Nearly two-thirds of the population live under the poverty line.
04:00U.S. President Donald Trump hosted a lavish dinner at the White House as Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited the U.S.
04:13Among the guests was football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been the face of the Saudi Football League since joining club Al Nasser at the end of 2022,
04:23reportedly on a $200 million-a-year contract.
04:26Other notable guests were Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla founder Elon Musk and FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
04:35The Crown Prince's visit is his first in seven years and follows years of diplomatic isolation after Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi
04:44was killed by Saudi agents in a consulant office in Istanbul in 2018.
04:50U.S. intelligence agencies believe the Crown Prince approved the operation,
04:54but he has denied any involvement in the killing.
04:59Trump brushed aside reporters' questions about Saudi Arabia's human rights record in a meeting with the Crown Prince prior to the dinner.
05:07During the meeting, Trump praised the Saudi Crown Prince and announced hundreds of billions of dollars in new Saudi investment in the United States.
05:15Both the U.S. House and Senate agreed to pass a bill to force the Justice Department to publicly release the case files of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
05:29Donald Trump had initially been fiercely against making the files public after it was alleged that the U.S. president may be personally implicated.
05:39He has repeatedly pointed the finger at the Democrats, claiming the accusations came in an effort to, quote,
05:44deflect from the success of the Republican Party.
05:47However, momentum to release the files grew over time, even from within his own party.
05:54Pressure on Trump and Republican lawmakers continue to pile as survivors of Epstein's abuse rallied outside the Capitol on Tuesday morning.
06:03This is who Congress is fighting for. This is who the House of Representatives are fighting for.
06:08Republican House lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene, previously a staunch supporter of Trump, joined the protesters to display her support.
06:15These women have fought the most horrific fight that no woman should have to fight, and they did it by banding together and never giving up.
06:26And that's what we did by fighting so hard against the most powerful people in the world, even the president of the United States, in order to make this vote happen today.
06:40The U.S. leader eventually bowed to the growing momentum and said he would sign the bill if it would pass the Senate.
06:46The bill is now set to go to Trump for final approval.
06:49That's all right, well they look very bad.
10:13flowers, kings and queens, and really showing us the human condition on stage.
10:21So that's the essence of Martha Graham's discoveries.
10:25Finding a way of moving, Martha Graham's goals were to, in her ballets, to really get down
10:32to the essences of human expression.
10:35So these essences, they travel through time.
10:39They're recognizable to today's generations, just as they were to the generations 100 years
10:45ago when Martha was creating these works.
10:48The first and the future was especially created in celebration of the 100th anniversary of
10:54the group's founding in New York in 1926.
10:58It is a dialogue between iconic works by Martha Graham, such as Chronicle and Arendt into the
11:03Maze, as well as bold new productions such as Cave by Hofe Schechter.
11:08The six performances at the Athens Concert Hall are running from the 20th to 23rd of November.
11:15Today's programs that we put together for our audiences are not only the Martha Graham
11:21classics but new works from some of today's top, top choreographers.
11:27And we find there's a real conversation between the classics and the works created today because
11:33they all speak to the human condition and these works have something to say to each other.
11:39And these work can be from people around the world's passing in another way among other people who act
11:41like the other adults are not only one of the most שא� subscribers of each other.
11:43And we now have two performances from the two 사람들이 guests on the width and all the southern
