00:00The European Court of Justice ruled EU countries must recognize a marriage between EU citizens of the same sex.
00:10Four more people, including two women and two men, have been arrested over the Louvre robbery last month, according to the Paris Prosecutor's Office.
00:20The Lithuanian court convicted a teenager of performing an arson attack on an Ikea store and found he acted on behalf of Russian security services.
00:30EU countries must recognize a marriage between EU citizens of the same sex lawfully concluded in another member state.
00:38This is what the European Court of Justice ruled on Tuesday.
00:42Refusing to do so is contrary to EU law and infringes the freedom and the right to respect for private and family life, the EU's top court said.
00:50It ruled Poland was wrong not to recognize the marriage certificate of a Polish couple who married in Berlin in 2018
00:58and then moved back to Poland on the ground that Polish law does not permit marriage between persons of the same sex.
01:04Polish lawmakers' reactions were mixed.
01:07Pytanie jest w tej chwili takie, w jaki sposób miałby się odbyć kwestia implementacji do polskiego prawa.
01:15No bo jeżeli to ma przejść przez polskie prawodawstwo, czyli Sejm, Senat i podpis prezydenta,
01:23no to nie możemy doprowadzać do sytuacji takiej, już pomijając pewne kwestie takie typowo związane ze swoim takim indywidualnym podejściem do tej sprawy,
01:32który każdy z polityków pewnie ma, do tego, żeby łamać konstytucję.
01:36Mam nadzieję, że to będzie przełomowy wyrok. Mam nadzieję, że polskie instytucje teraz głęboko się zastanowią,
01:42w jaki sposób respektować małżeństwa zawarte poza granicami Polski, małżeństwa osób tej samej płci,
01:48bo jednak jesteśmy członkiem Unii Europejskiej.
01:5316 EU countries recognize same-sex marriage in the EU.
01:57In addition, 6 more countries recognize civil unions or partnerships for same-sex couples.
02:02Five member states do not recognize any form of official union for same-sex couples.
02:10Four more people have been arrested in connection with last month's jewelry heist at the Louvre,
02:17according to the Paris prosecutor's office on Tuesday.
02:21The two men and two women in custody are from the Paris region and range in age from 31 to 40,
02:29said the prosecutor Laure Bécure.
02:31The office did not say what role they are suspected of having played in the theft.
02:37But according to local media, one of the men arrested was a member of the four-man team,
02:43thought to have carried out the robbery.
02:46Magistrates have previously filed preliminary charges against three men and a woman arrested in October over the heist.
02:54It took the thieves less than eight minutes to steal jewels worth 88 million euros.
03:00A Lithuanian court convicted an 18-year-old of performing an arson attack on an IKEA store in Vilnius last year.
03:17The court found he acted on behalf of Russian security services
03:21and found him guilty of charges including a terrorist act and illegal possession of explosives.
03:28The teenager, Danil Bardadim, pleaded guilty to the charges.
03:32He was sentenced to three years and four months in prison.
03:35Europe has recently been the target of a wave of arson and other sabotage attacks,
03:43with Russia accused of being behind them.
03:47The Swedish company is thought to have been targeted because the company withdrew from Russia,
03:52as well as because of Sweden's support for Ukraine.
03:54The store in Vilnius was attacked in May in 2024,
04:00when an explosive device set off early in the morning.
04:07At least six people were killed in Russian strikes targeting residential and energy positions
04:13in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, in the northeastern Sumy region overnight into Tuesday.
04:18Video footage circulating online showed a residential building in the central Petrsk district
04:24and another in the eastern Dniprovsky district to have suffered strikes,
04:29later confirmed by Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko.
04:33Ukraine's energy minister noted, without adding detail,
04:37that the overnight barrage also targeted some of the country's energy infrastructure.
04:42In separate attacks, officials in Sumy announced that a service truck
04:46stationed in an area that was victim to repeated Russian attacks late into Monday
04:50was struck by a drone in the early hours of Tuesday.
04:53The attacks come after U.S. and Ukrainian delegations held talks in the Swiss city of Geneva
04:59about a U.S.-Russia brokered peace plan.
05:03Ukraine says the talks were very constructive,
05:06stating that it shared and discussed almost all of its concerns with the U.S.
05:11Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Monday
05:14that Russia had not seen the updated plan following the talks.
05:21Europe must stand firm by its digital rules was the message sent by Margette Vestager,
05:27former European Commissioner for Competition.
05:30Interviewed by Euronews on the Europe Today program,
05:33the Danish liberal politician called on the EU not to bow to American pressure
05:37for weaker implementation of European digital rules.
05:40One thing is important, and that is that we have promised Europeans
05:43that their services would be safe to use for their mental health,
05:47for their democracy as such.
05:49And that is, of course, core in any democracy.
05:52Vestager urged the EU to stand by its landmark legislation
05:55of the Digital Market Act and the Digital Services Act,
05:59both approved during their former EU Commission's tenure,
06:02which lasted between 2014 and 2024.
06:09It actually would be open for a competition so that we can get...
06:19...news.com.
06:20But for now, coming up, we'll be joining...
06:22Good afternoon, everybody.
06:43We just concluded...
06:44...the European Union to be together...
06:47Hundreds of travellers have been left stranded
06:56as airlines have cancelled their flights
06:58after the U.S. issued air safety warnings around Venezuela.
07:03The USFAA alert issued last Friday
07:06urges pilots to use extreme caution
07:08due to the worsening security situation
07:11and increased military activity in the region.
07:14This has caused widespread cancellations
07:18by Venezuelan and international airlines
07:21such as Turkish Airlines, Iberia, Avianca and many more.
07:26Spanish airline Air Europa, Estela and Laser
07:29announced the suspension of their flights to Venezuela.
07:33Over the weekend, other international airlines
07:36had already adopted similar measures.
07:38The warning comes days after the U.S. designated the drug cartel of the Sons
07:44as a terrorist group,
07:46a group it alleges is led by Venezuela's president.
07:50Greece's former prime minister, Alexis Tsipras,
07:59blasted his ex-finance minister,
08:02Yanis Varoufakis, in his recently released memoir.
08:06Tsipras argued that Varoufakis was, quote,
08:08more a celebrity than an economist.
08:11He also said he underestimated the human factor
08:14when appointing him as finance minister
08:16during Greece's debt crisis in 2015.
08:20A decade ago, Tsipras rose to power
08:23on an anti-austerity agenda.
08:25However, the former prime minister
08:26appeared on track to lead Greece out of the eurozone.
08:30Despite a referendum in which Greeks rejected
08:33the bloc's proposed bailout terms,
08:35Tsipras ignored the results
08:36and accepted a new package with harsher austerity measures.
08:42Varoufakis resigned
08:43over the ex-prime minister's decision
08:45to reverse course.
08:47On Tuesday, Varoufakis commented
08:48on the release of the memoir,
08:50saying he had not read the book
08:52and would instead wait for the movie to be released.
08:58Three children from a British-Australian family
09:01living in the woods in Italy
09:03were moved to an educational community
09:05by court order.
09:06Social services deemed their forced lifestyle
09:09in Palmoli, in the country's central Chiede province,
09:12to be unsafe.
09:14The father of the three children
09:15denounced the decision as an injustice.
09:18It remains unclear what will happen next,
09:21but the mayor of Palmoli promised his support
09:23if the family ends up staying in Italy.
09:25Se la soluzione dovesse essere la seconda,
09:28cioè la permanenza in Italia,
09:30noi chiaramente ci rendiamo disponibili
09:32a supportare la famiglia
09:34per quanto riguarda l'adeguamento del fabbricato
09:37e il sostegno di tipo sociale, scolastico,
09:41ai bambini.
09:42The family of five had been living in a forest
09:44without running water or electricity.
09:47Social services conducted an inspection
09:49and deemed the environment unsuitable
09:51for the children's development.
09:53The children did not attend school
09:55and had no peer relationships.
09:57However, the parents have argued
09:59that their lifestyle represented
10:01a deliberate choice inspired by a return to nature,
10:04not neglect or abandonment.
10:06They maintain that the children receive home education,
10:09which is legal in Italy
10:10and are cared for by a pediatrician.
10:12As the cost of living crisis eases,
10:18more Europeans are finding it easier
10:20to pay their bills on time.
10:22A quarter still struggle, however,
10:25a recent report has found.
10:27This trend is reflected in the latest European consumer payment report
10:31produced by Swedish credit and collection company,
10:34In 2023, 37% of Europeans failed to pay their bills on time,
10:41while today the figure sits at an improved,
10:44but still relatively high 24%.
10:46Meanwhile, the divide between countries and social groups
10:50has continued to widen.
10:52Spain and Austria topped the chart,
10:55reflecting only 17% of people who were unable to pay their debts
10:59in the expected time frame.
11:01Slovakia, Belgium and Norway trailed shortly behind,
11:04reporting figures ranging from 19% to 20%.
11:08Greece, which has been dealing with years of economic hardship,
11:12came in last, with around 33% of citizens
11:15struggling to pay their debts on time.
11:1843% of consumers in Europe said that recent years
11:21have had a lasting negative impact on their financial well-being,
11:25with younger generations often being the most affected.
11:29Over 60% of Generation Z reported that missing a bill's due date
11:33was a regular occurrence this year.
11:36The main reason continues to be a lack of funds,
