00:00The leaders of the European Union have welcomed the latest progress towards a peace plan in Ukraine.

00:05The president of the European Council mentions a new momentum.

00:11The COP30 climate summit in Brazil concluded with a final text that avoided a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels.

00:20Spain's attorney general has resigned after being found guilty of leaking confidential information

00:26about the boyfriend of a leading opposition politician.

00:30The European Union has welcomed the latest progress towards a peace plan in Ukraine.

00:37On the sidelines of a summit in Angola between the EU and Africa,

00:40the 27 leaders held an informal meeting on Monday following discussions between Ukraine, the United States and Europe.

00:48To the president of the European Council, they represent a new momentum.

00:52The United States and Ukraine informed us that the discussions were constructive and that progress was achieved on several issues.

01:06We welcome the step forward and some issues remain to be resolved, but the direction is positive.

01:16The president of the European Commission emphasized that there was still work to be done,

01:22but also what she called a solid basis for moving forward.

01:25Ursula von der Leyen reiterated the fundamental principles for establishing a peace plan.

01:30The Ukraine's territory and sovereignty must be respected.

01:38Only Ukraine, as a sovereign country, can make decisions regarding its armed forces.

01:46The choice of their destiny is in their own hands.

01:51I also want to emphasize Europe's centrality in the country's future.

01:57The leaders reiterated that the 27 must be fully involved in all decisions concerning the Union,

02:03such as enlargement towards Ukraine or the use of frozen Russian assets.

02:07Over the weekend, the European Union has reportedly released a counter-proposal

02:16in response to the initial U.S.-Russia framework, which was leaked last week.

02:23Now, the EU's plan includes major adjustments, including Ukraine's military captured 800,000 troops in peacetime,

02:31rather than just 600,000 troops in the initially proposed plan.

02:36There is also a significant change regarding Kyiv's NATO aspirations.

02:41Ukraine joining NATO falls on consensus and agreement among the alliance's members,

02:46instead of NATO committing to not accepting Ukraine.

02:50Notably, there is also a point about NATO troops not being stationed on the territory of Ukraine under its command,

02:57but specifically in peacetime.

03:00One of the most important aspects of any possible deal for Kyiv concerns Russia's occupied territories of Ukraine.

03:10And the EU-led leaked plan drops the recognition of temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine,

03:17which was included in last week's U.S.-Russia framework.

03:21Now, the territory in question is Ukraine's Luhansk and Donetsk region,

03:26which altogether make up the region of Donbass.

03:30Moscow renewed its assaults against Ukrainian troops and Ukraine's territory in the region of Donetsk,

03:36specifically when it comes to the city of Pokrovsk.

03:39But according to the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War,

03:44even with the current pace and currently dedicated massive resources,

03:50Russian forces could seize the rest of Donetsk region only by August 2027.

03:57Most importantly, the leaked EU-led proposal brings back the idea of first having a ceasefire

04:04at the current contact line and then for Ukraine and Russia to start the negotiations

04:10regarding the rest of the possible deal, including the temporarily occupied territories.

04:15But this is the aspect that Moscow has been rejecting from the very beginning.

04:24The COP30 climate summit in Brazil concluded with a final text

04:28that avoided a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels,

04:31drawing criticism that described the outcome as an empty deal and a moral failure.

04:37Countries that attended the UN's flagship climate change conference,

04:40whose economies rely heavily on fossil fuel production,

04:43like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates,

04:46were openly opposed to any such target or roadmap.

04:50One day before the end of COP30,

04:52the EU threatened not to endorse the final text,

04:56which had to be approved by consensus by nearly 200 nations.

04:59In the end, the EU did not see another option than backing the paper

05:04while recognizing its lack of ambition.

05:08Climate researchers and environmentalists say the outcome reflects a fragmentation

05:12within the international order.

05:14The absence of the U.S. created a political and financial vacuum,

05:19and experts say the resistance from petrostates was too great

05:22for a roadmap towards phasing out fossil fuels to succeed.

05:25The outcome of this year's summit came 10 years after the historic Paris Agreement,

05:31when world leaders committed themselves to take real action against global warming.

05:39Alvaro Garcia Ortiz has resigned as Spain's Attorney General just days

05:43after he was suspended for two years by the country's Supreme Court.

05:47The top prosecutor was found guilty of leaking confidential information

05:52about the boyfriend of a leading opposition lawmaker.

05:55The outgoing Attorney General announced his decision

05:58in a letter sent to Spanish Justice Minister Félix Balaños on Monday.

06:03Ortiz stated in his letter that he was leaving before the Supreme Court

06:07executed his disqualification out of, quote,

06:10deep respect for judicial rulings and proceedings.

06:13He also added that his decision was rooted in his, quote,

06:17everlasting desire to protect the Spanish public prosecutor's office.

06:22Ortiz was convicted after a months-long investigation and trial

06:25found him guilty last week on Thursday of sharing private information

06:29on Alberto González Amador,

06:32partner of Madrid Regional President Isabel Díaz Ayuso,

06:35who's being investigated for alleged fraud.

06:38Ortiz's resignation will only be made official

06:41once the Spanish Council of Ministers sign off on it,

06:44which is likely to happen on Tuesday.

06:51Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy

06:54is publishing a book about his three weeks behind bars,

06:58set to hit shelves on December 10th.

07:01His publisher Fayard said the memoir titled

07:04A Prisoner's Diary is 216 pages long,

07:08just under 11 pages per day that Sarkozy spent in prison.

07:12Sarkozy, who was separated from the general prison population,

07:17trailed the release in a post on X.

07:19A quote from the book was also released as a teaser.

07:23In prison, there is nothing to see and nothing to do.

07:26Sarkozy was convicted in September of criminal conspiracy

07:29over a scheme to obtain campaign funds for his 2007 presidential race.

07:34A Paris court gave him a five-year sentence

07:37and he became the first former French president

07:40to end up behind bars since Nazi collaborator Philippe Pétain.

07:44He was released pending appeal on 10th November.

07:50UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has suggested

07:53that the former Prince Andrew should testify

07:55before a US congressional committee

07:58investigating convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

08:01Starmer declined to comment specifically about

08:04King Charles' disgraced younger brother,

08:06but told reporters that he believes as a general principle,

08:10people should provide evidence to investigators.

08:13The comments were made to reporters traveling with him

08:15as he flew to Johannesburg in South Africa

08:18to participate in the Group of 20 or G20 summit.

08:22The former Prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor,

08:25has so far ignored a request from lawmakers

08:28in the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee

08:31to testify about his, quote,

08:33long-standing friendship with Epstein.

08:36The disgraced UK royal was accused by Virginia Joffrey,

08:39an Epstein victim,

08:41of sexual assault at one of the lavish parties

08:43the former financier organized

08:45on his little St. James private island.

08:48She said she was forced by Epstein

08:50and his accomplice and longtime partner,

08:52Ghislaine Maxwell,

08:54to perform sexual acts on Andrew against her will,

08:56while at the time only being 17 years old.

09:01Pressure is continuing to mount on the former royal,

09:04who was tripped of his title and duties last month,

09:06as the royal family tried to insulate itself

09:09from criticism about his relationship with Epstein.

09:17Slovenians rejected a law in a referendum

09:19that allowed terminally ill patients to end their lives.

09:22Preliminary results showed that around 54% voted against the law,

09:27while 46% supported it.

09:31The law proposed that mentally competent people

09:33who have no chance of recovery

09:34or are facing unbearable pain

09:36have the right to assist the dying.

09:39Opponents to the law included

09:40conservative groups and activists,

09:43some doctors, associations,

09:44and the Catholic Church.

09:45Thank you very much to all who voted

09:49against the victims of the invalids and oppressed people.

09:54This is a great challenge for the invalids and oppressed people.

09:58Today, they can be peaceful,

09:59and they can be peaceful,

10:00and they can be peaceful, and they can be peaceful, and God.

10:01Sunday's outcome means that an existing law

10:04passed by parliament in July is now suspended.

10:08Advocates of assisted dying have argued

10:10that the law gives people a chance to die with dignity

10:13and decide for themselves how and when to end their suffering.

10:16They were able to do conservative groups,

10:19and the RKC was able to do a public opinion

10:25with their lies,

10:26and the interpretation of the law

10:30that goes for a law that is deeply

10:31to the people's lives.

10:34Backers of the law said they were disappointed,

10:36but expressed conviction a new legislation

10:39will be passed in the future.

10:41Several other EU countries have already passed similar laws,

10:45including Slovenia's neighbor, Austria.

10:52China's foreign minister Wang Yi said Japan crossed a red line

10:55after its new prime minister, Sanaita Kaichi,

10:58made comments about a potential military intervention over Taiwan.

11:03The Japanese leader claimed that China's naval blockade

11:06or other action against Taiwan could be grounds

11:08for a Japanese military response.

11:11Wang slammed the statement as reckless

11:14and said China must respond to Japan's actions.

11:18Takaichi's remarks have led to rising tensions

11:21between the two countries over the past few weeks.

11:24Beijing considers the self-ruled Taiwan as its own territory.

11:28It has objected to the involvement of other countries in Taiwan,

11:31notably the United States and its allies in Asia, which includes Japan.

11:36Takaichi's stance is seen as more forceful than previous prime ministers,

11:41who have expressed concern over China's threat to Taiwan,

11:44but haven't publicly said how Japan would respond.

11:46I'm sorry.

11:52Have a great day of this.

11:57Goodbye.

11:57Let's go.

11:58Today,

11:59let's go.
