00:00Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro has begun a 27-year prison sentence for leading a coup attempt,

00:06a development some protest and some celebrate.

00:10U.S. President Donald Trump says he'll be deploying his special envoys to hold further discussions with Ukraine and Russia

00:17as he intensifies his push for peace.

00:20The European Court of Justice ruled EU countries must recognize a marriage between EU citizens of the same sex.

00:31Strengthening a partnership based on shared values, this was the message of the seventh summit between the European Union and the African Union.

00:40Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro has begun a 27-year prison sentence for leading a coup attempt

00:46in a development that has stunned much of the country.

00:48A Supreme Court justice ruled on Tuesday that Bolsonaro's legal team has exhausted all appeals,

00:54ordering him to remain in custody after a preemptive arrest on Saturday.

00:57Bolsonaro's supporters and opponents gathered outside the federal police headquarters after the order was issued,

01:04with many calling for his release while others celebrated his imprisonment.

01:08The former president had been under house arrest since August and was taken into custody last weekend

01:13after trying to tamper with his ankle monitor.

01:16He blamed the incident on hallucinations, a claim the judge dismissed.

01:19Bolsonaro is being held in a 12-square-meter room at federal police headquarters in Brasilia,

01:26with a bed, private bathroom, air conditioning, a TV and a desk, and no contact with other inmates.

01:32Bolsonaro and several allies were convicted for attempting to overthrow Brazil's democracy after 2022 election defeat,

01:38in a plot that included plans to kill then-president-elect Luis Inacio Lula de Silva,

01:44Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, and the presiding justice figures.

01:49Several senior allies, including army generals and former ministers,

01:52have also started serving sentences in military and civilian facilities,

01:56while a former intelligence chief remains at large in the United States.

02:00U.S. President Donald Trump says his plan to end the war in Ukraine

02:07has been fine-tuned to address concerns of both sides

02:10after U.S. mediators held talks with Russia and Ukraine.

02:15Trump says he believes a deal can be reached soon,

02:18noting that he'll be deploying his special envoy Steve Witkoff

02:21to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week.

02:25Trump, aboard Air Force One,

02:27also announced that he'll be dispatching U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll

02:32to hold further discussions with Ukrainian officials.

02:35We're having good talks.

02:37We started with Russia.

02:39We're having some talks with Russia.

02:42Ukraine is doing well.

02:43I think they're pretty happy about it.

02:45They'd like to see it end.

02:47And we won't know for a little while,

02:49but we're making progress.

02:51They're going to keep talking.

02:52They're talking to Russia now.

02:54Steve Witkoff is going over.

02:55Or maybe with Jared, they're going to be meeting with President Putin,

02:59I believe next week in Moscow.

03:02In its original form,

03:04Trump's plan heavily favored Russia,

03:06requiring Ukraine to cede a large amount of territory,

03:10which included the entirety of the eastern Donbass region,

03:13most of which is currently controlled by Russia.

03:16The terms of the proposal raise concern among many European leaders

03:20who reject the premise of Ukraine ceding land.

03:24On Tuesday, leaders of the Coalition of the Willing,

03:28including French President Emmanuel Macron

03:30and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer

03:33held talks to discuss the new peace push.

03:35They emphasized their support for Trump's efforts,

03:39stressing that talks are going in a positive direction.

03:43Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated on Monday

03:47that large parts of Trump's plan is acceptable to Ukraine.

03:51He noted, however, that he'd like to meet with Trump

03:54as soon as convenient,

03:55to iron out final details for a framework for peace.

03:58EU countries must recognize a marriage between EU citizens

04:07of the same sex lawfully concluded in another member state.

04:11This is what the European Court of Justice ruled on Tuesday.

04:15Refusing to do so is contrary to EU law

04:18and infringes the freedom and the right to respect

04:20for private and family life, the EU's top court said.

04:24It ruled Poland was wrong not to recognize

04:26the marriage certificate of a Polish couple

04:29who married in Berlin in 2018

04:31and then moved back to Poland

04:32on the ground that Polish law does not permit marriage

04:35between persons of the same sex.

04:37Polish lawmakers' reactions were mixed.

04:40The question is at the moment,

04:41how would it be the issue of implementation of Polish law?

04:48Because if it has to go through Polish law,

04:53which is the Senate, the Senate and the President,

04:56no, to nie możemy doprowadzać do sytuacji takiej,

04:59już pomijając pewne kwestie takie typowo związane

05:03ze swoim takim indywidualnym podejściem do tej sprawy,

05:05który każdy z polityków pewnie ma,

05:07do tego, żeby łamać konstytucję.

05:09Mam nadzieję, że to będzie przełomowy wyrok.

05:11Mam nadzieję, że polskie instytucje teraz głęboko się zastanowią,

05:15w jaki sposób respektować małżeństwa zawarte

05:18poza granicami Polski, małżeństwa osób tej samej płci,

05:21bo jednak jesteśmy członkiem Unii Europejskiej.

05:2516 EU countries recognize same-sex marriage in the EU.

05:30In addition, 6 more countries recognize civil unions

05:33or partnerships for same-sex couples.

05:355 member states do not recognize any form of official union

05:38for same-sex couples.

05:40Europe must stand firm by its digital rules

05:47was the message sent by Margette Westhager,

05:50former European Commissioner for Competition.

05:53Interviewed by Euronews on the Europe Today program,

05:56the Danish liberal politician called on the EU

05:58not to bow to American pressure

06:00for weaker implementation of European digital rules.

06:02One thing is important, and that is that

06:05we have promised Europeans

06:06that their services would be safe to use

06:08for their mental health, for their democracy as such.

06:12And that is, of course, core in any democracy.

06:15Westhager urged the EU to stand by its landmark legislation

06:18of the Digital Market Act

06:20and the Digital Services Act,

06:22both approved during their former EU Commission's tenure,

06:25which lasted between 2014 and 2024.

06:32Strengthening a partnership based on shared values.

06:36This was the message of the seventh summit

06:39between the European Union and the African Union,

06:42which concluded on Tuesday in Rwanda.

06:45Participants particularly emphasized the need

06:47to achieve peace on all continents

06:49through multilateralism.

06:52There are no alternative for the multilateral

06:55and the international rules-based order,

06:59because the alternative is simply the chaos.

07:02And we need to avoid the chaos.

07:05We need to uphold for the international order

07:08in Ukraine, in RDC, in Gaza, in Sudan, elsewhere.

07:14The two partners also welcome the progress made

07:17in implementing the Global Getaway.

07:19This 150 billion euros program

07:22to support African countries

07:23is intended to strengthen growth

07:26and accelerate climate and digital transitions.

07:28At least six people were killed in Russian strikes

07:34targeting residential and energy positions

07:37in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev,

07:39in the northeastern Sumy region overnight into Tuesday.

07:43Video footage circulating online

07:45showed a residential building

07:46in the central Petrsk district

07:48and another in the eastern Dniprovsky district

07:51to have suffered strikes,

07:53later confirmed by Kiev mayor Vitaly Klitschko.

07:57Ukraine's energy minister noted,

07:59without adding detail,

08:01that the overnight barrage also targeted

08:03some of the country's energy infrastructure.

08:06In separate attacks,

08:07officials in Sumy announced that a service truck

08:10stationed in an area that was victim

08:11to repeated Russian attacks late into Monday

08:14was struck by a drone in the early hours of Tuesday.

08:17The attacks come after U.S. and Ukrainian delegations

08:21held talks in the Swiss city of Geneva

08:23about a U.S.-Russia brokered peace plan.

08:27Ukraine says the talks were very constructive,

08:30stating that it shared and discussed

08:31almost all of its concerns with the U.S.

08:35Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov

08:37said on Monday that Russia had not seen

08:39the updated plan following the talks.

08:41A Lithuanian court convicted an 18-year-old

08:49of performing an arson attack

08:50on an Ikea store in Vilnius last year.

08:54The court found he acted on behalf

08:56of Russian security services

08:58and found him guilty of charges

09:00including a terrorist act

09:01and illegal possession of explosives.

09:05The teenager, Danil Bardadim,

09:07pleaded guilty to the charges.

09:09He was sentenced to three years

09:11and four months in prison.

09:15Europe has recently been the target

09:17of a wave of arson and other sabotage attacks

09:20with Russia accused of being behind them.

09:24The Swedish company is thought

09:25to have been targeted

09:26because the company withdrew from Russia

09:28as well as because of Sweden's support for Ukraine.

09:32The store in Vilnius was attacked in May in 2024

09:36when an explosive device set off early in the morning.

09:44Four more people have been arrested

09:47in connection with last month's jewelry heist

09:50at the Louvre,

09:51according to the Paris prosecutor's office on Tuesday.

09:55The two men and two women in custody

09:58are from the Paris region

09:59and range in age from 31 to 40,

10:03said the prosecutor Lorbecu.

10:06The office did not say what role

10:08they are suspected of having played in the theft.

10:11But according to local media,

10:13one of the men arrested

10:14was a member of the four-man team

10:16thought to have carried out the robbery.

10:20Magistrates have previously filed

10:22preliminary charges against three men

10:25and a woman arrested in October over the heist.

10:28It took the thieves less than eight minutes

10:31to steal jewels worth 88 million euros.

10:42Greece's former prime minister, Alexis Tsipras,

10:46blasted his ex-finance minister,

10:48Yanis Varoufakis,

10:49in his recently released memoir.

10:51Tsipras argued that Varoufakis was, quote,

10:54more a celebrity than an economist.

10:57He also said he underestimated the human factor

11:00when appointing him as finance minister

11:02during Greece's debt crisis in 2015.

11:06A decade ago, Tsipras rose to power

11:09on an anti-austerity agenda.

11:11However, the former prime minister

11:12appeared on track to lead Greece

11:14out of the eurozone.

11:16Despite a referendum in which Greeks

11:18rejected the bloc's proposed bailout terms,

11:21Tsipras ignored the results

11:22and accepted a new package

11:24with harsher austerity measures.

11:27Varoufakis resigned

11:28over the ex-prime minister's decision

11:31to reverse course.

11:33On Tuesday, Varoufakis commented

11:34on the release of the memoir,

11:36saying he had not read the book

11:38and would instead wait for the movie

11:39to be released.
