00:00At least 25 people were killed, including three children, as Russian missiles targeted

00:05residential sites in the western Ukrainian city of Ternopoul overnight into Wednesday.

00:10Lithuania announced it is reopening border crossings with Belarus after weeks of closure

00:15due to incidents of airspace violations, including balloons and drones.

00:21At least 25 people were killed, including three children, in Russian missile attacks

00:25on the western Ukrainian city of Ternopoul overnight into Wednesday.

00:30The country's emergency services said that 73 others were injured, with an early report

00:35suggesting that over a dozen of those were minors.

00:39Local officials say two nine-story residential buildings were struck by heavy Russian projectiles,

00:45including ballistic missiles.

00:47One of the buildings caught fire, while the other sustained extreme damage, which completely

00:52destroyed it from the ninth floor all the way down to the third.

00:55Ukraine's Prime Minister Yuliaz Viridenko slammed the Kremlin for its attacks, calling

01:01them a deliberate attempt to target the civilian population.

01:05The attacks came as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy touched down in Ankara on Wednesday to meet

01:10with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a visit which aims to relaunch diplomatic talks

01:16with Russia to end the war.

01:17Moscow has significantly increased its aerial bombardment of Ukraine in recent months,

01:23targeting everything from military to energy and civilian positions, despite the mounting

01:28pressure, and global calls to re-engage in peace efforts.

01:31The Lithuanian government announced that it's reopening the country's two border crossings

01:39with Belarus on Wednesday.

01:41It comes weeks after they were closed following disruptions at the capital's airport caused

01:46by balloons used to smuggle cigarettes across the border.

01:50Vilnius said late last month that it would keep the borders closed for one month, with some

01:54exemptions.

01:55Officials in Lithuania viewed the balloon violation as a deliberate act by Belarus,

02:01a close ally of Russia.

02:03The decision is expected to ease the return of hundreds of Lithuanian trucks, which have

02:08been trapped in Belarus since the closure came into force.

02:11Minsk refused to open a corridor to allow the Lithuanian trucks' passage back home,

02:15and opted to hold them as a means of pressuring Lithuania into reopening the crossings.

02:21Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko slammed Vilnius' decision to close

02:25the border crossings as a mad scam, as he accused Lithuania of engaging in a, quote,

02:30hybrid war against his country.

02:33Lithuania warned that the crossings could be shut again if balloons and drones reappear

02:38in its airspace.

02:42A new report by Human Rights Watch finds that Israel committed war crimes in its ground offensive

02:48in the West Bank earlier this year, after tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians were

02:54denied return after hostilities ended.

02:57In an interview with Euronews, the author of the report, Nadia Hardman, explains why.

03:02International law is very clear on this.

03:06People, once displaced, should be returned once hostilities in the area have ceased.

03:12Hostilities in the area have long ceased.

03:15There is no reason to continue blocking off these camps to the displaced population.

03:20Human Rights Watch also found that 850 buildings were destroyed across all three camps since

03:26military operations began in January, often without warning.

03:31This is the largest displacement in the West Bank since 1967.

03:37This is a case of mass and systematic displacement.

03:41The scope is just so huge.

03:43The way in which it was conducted, the violence, you know, of the forced expulsions and the widespread

03:48destruction that has now taken place, again, systematically within the camps, has led to

03:54this conclusion that, you know, many war crimes of forced displacement have been committed.

03:59It is underlined by state policy.

04:01The Israeli military justifies the displacement and destruction of homes as a necessity to root

04:06out terrorist activity.

04:08But Hardman says it is not sufficient under international law.

04:11The mere presence of fighters does not justify the displacement of 32,000 Palestinian refugees.

04:19And this is the this is what we have tried to engage the Israeli authorities on.

04:23We've asked questions, but the Israeli authorities have just repeated their justification being

04:28one of military necessity to reshape the camps because of their security needs.

04:34So they've not really engaged with the question of the right to return.

04:37The report calls on governments to put more pressure on Israel to end the forced displacement of

04:42Palestinian refugees.

04:44They want to go back to the lives that they were living before.

04:47And I think that that, you know, that desire to return cannot be extinguished.

04:54Amal Company, one of Qatar's leading diversified firms, has joined forces with Germany's Nidix Group,

05:00a century-old global leader in cable management systems.

05:03The two signed a memorandum of understanding to build a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Qatar.

05:10The signing ceremony was attended by senior officials from both countries,

05:14including Qatar's Minister of State for Foreign Trade Affairs and Germany's Minister for Economy and Energy,

05:20reflecting the strategic importance of this partnership for bilateral trade and industry cooperation.

05:26This partnership aims to explore the establishment of glass fibre reinforced polymer production line in Qatar.

05:34It demonstrates how cooperation between our private sector can translate into tangible strategic outcome.

05:42The joint venture will produce advanced cable management products made from steel and reinforced materials,

05:48supporting infrastructure and industrial projects across Qatar and the wider region.

05:53The partnership brings global expertise to Qatar, supporting advanced manufacturing, creating jobs

06:16and contributing to the country's long-term economic vision.

06:20Mohammed Alashi, your news, Doha.

06:26Hundreds gathered in Raleigh to demonstrate against federal agents expanding their immigration crackdown in North Carolina.

06:36The operation began over the weekend in the state's largest city, Charlotte,

06:40where officials said more than 130 people have been arrested.

06:45Federal officials said the crackdown served to reduce crime.

06:48However, officials in both Charlotte and Raleigh testified that crime rates were already down.

06:55Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV strongly backed U.S. bishops who condemned the Trump administration immigration crackdown.

07:02No one has said that the United States should have open borders.

07:06I think every country has a right to determine who and how and when people enter.

07:12But when people are living good lives, and many of them for 10, 15, 20 years,

07:18to treat them in a way that is extremely disrespectful, to say the least,

07:23and there's been some violence, unfortunately,

07:26I think that the bishops have been very clear in what they said.

07:30And I think that I would just invite all people in the United States to listen to them.

07:34Last week, U.S. Catholic bishops gathered and issued a special pastoral message.

07:40The text criticized the mass deportation of migrants and the, quote,

07:44vilification of them in the current migration debate.

07:50U.S. President Donald Trump hosted a lavish dinner at the White House

07:55as Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited the U.S.

08:00Among the guests was football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo,

08:04who has been the face of the Saudi Football League since joining club Al Nasser at the end of 2022,

08:09reportedly on a $200 million-a-year contract.

08:14Other notable guests were Apple CEO Tim Cook,

08:17Tesla founder Elon Musk and FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

08:21The Crown Prince's visit is his first in seven years

08:25and follows years of diplomatic isolation

08:28after Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi

08:30was killed by Saudi agents in a consulate office in Istanbul in 2018.

08:37U.S. intelligence agencies believe the Crown Prince approved the operation,

08:41but he has denied any involvement in the killing.

08:45Trump brushed aside reporters' questions about Saudi Arabia's human rights record

08:50in a meeting with the Crown Prince prior to the dinner.

08:54During the meeting, Trump praised the Saudi Crown Prince

08:56and announced hundreds of billions of dollars in new Saudi investment in the United States.

09:08The legendary Martha Graham Dance Company,

09:12America's greatest and longest-running contemporary dance company,

09:15is at the Athens Concert Hall,

09:18performing the anniversary production The First and the Future

09:20to celebrate 100 years since its founding.

09:25Martha Graham is universally regarded as the founder of contemporary dance

09:29and created an entirely new dance technique known as the Graham Technique,

09:34characterized by dramatic, intense and angular movements.

09:38Graham's work remains a reference point

09:40for generations of dancers and choreographers around the world.

09:43Jeanette Elber has been the artistic director of the group since 2005.

09:49She's been the company's lead dancer in the past

09:52and has worked closely with Martha Graham herself.

09:55Martha Graham has a reputation of being a great inventor in modern dance

10:01because she was the first choreographer to put human beings on stage.

10:06She was breaking away from a style of dance

10:08that was escapist, imaginary, fantasy, swans, flowers, kings and queens,

10:14and really showing us the human condition on stage.

10:20So that's the essence of Martha Graham's discoveries,

10:24finding a way of moving.

10:26Martha Graham's goals were to, in her ballets,

10:30to really get down to the essences of human expression.

10:34So these essences, they travel through time.

10:39They're recognizable to today's generations

10:41just as they were to the generations 100 years ago

10:45when Martha was creating these works.

10:47The first and the future was especially created

10:50in celebration of the 100th anniversary

10:53of the group's founding in New York in 1926.

10:56It is a dialogue between iconic works by Martha Graham

11:00such as Chronicle and Arendt into the Maze,

11:03as well as bold new productions such as Cave by Hofe Schechter.

11:08The six performances at the Athens Concert Hall

11:12are running from the 20th to 23rd of November.

11:15Today's programs that we put together for our audiences

11:18are not only the Martha Graham classics,

11:21but new works from some of today's top, top choreographers.

11:26And we find there's a real conversation

11:28between the classics and the works created today

11:31because they all speak to the human condition

11:35and these works have something to say to each other.
