00:18Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he had a substantive call with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
00:31The call followed after talks between U.S. officials and a Ukrainian delegation that aimed to bring an end to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
00:40Zelensky added that Ukraine would continue to keep working in good faith with the U.S. and that the next steps and formats for the talks have been agreed on.
00:49Speaking in the U.S., the country's Special Envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, said a deal to end the war in Ukraine was very close.
00:57He added that two key remaining talking points still under negotiation were that on the topic of territory, especially the Donbass region and the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
01:08Zelensky is expected to speak with European allies next and is meeting with leaders from France, Germany and the U.K. and London on Monday.
01:18U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the strikes on alleged drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean and emphasized that President Donald Trump can take military action as he sees fit to defend the nation.
01:33Here again, we've been focused and here we've been clear.
01:36If you're working for a designated terrorist organization and you bring drugs to this country in a boat, we will find you and we will sink you.
01:46Let there be no doubt about it.
01:49President Trump can and will take decisive military action as he sees fit.
01:53Hegseth has faced growing scrutiny over an attack in September in which U.S. forces launched a follow-up strike that killed survivors of an initial hit on a suspected drug vessel.
02:05The incident raised concerns over the legality and oversight of the operation.
02:10Hegseth says he had not been present when the second strike was ordered but defended the decision, saying he would have made the same call himself.
02:18Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel and Hamas are set to begin the second phase of their ceasefire shortly, once the last hostages' remains are returned.
02:35Netanyahu made the comment during German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's first visit to Israel as head of state.
02:41In a press conference, the two expressed clear differences when speaking on the topic of Gaza and a two-state solution, yet both were also keen to emphasize a commitment to maintaining a closed bilateral relationship.
02:54Merz stood up for Israel's existence and security but simultaneously said it must be held accountable under international law.
03:01In the process of this long war, the Israeli government has led us to a certain dilemma.
03:08Germany has to be held accountable for Israelis, for Israel's security, and Germany has to be held accountable for human rights and rights, which is the core of our government.
03:18Merz said the second phase of the peace process must begin soon, and said a Palestinian state as part of a two-state solution is the way forward towards lasting peace.
03:27Netanyahu contradicted the Chancellor on the point of the two-state solution, a possibility he has repeatedly rejected in the past.
03:36Prior to the meeting, Merz visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, where he laid a wreath in memory of those killed during the Holocaust.

04:04Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant expressed his condolences to the victims and says a probe has been launched to identify the exact cause of the blaze.
04:14He noted that most of those killed were kitchen staff who worked at the venue, adding that three to four tourists are also believed to have lost their lives.
04:22Local police suspect the fire was caused after a gas cylinder exploded, but others speculate that fireworks or pyrotechnics may have caused it.
04:32The club is also believed to have been operating without a license.
04:37Sawant says anyone found responsible for this incident will be dealt with firmly if negligence is confirmed to be the cause.
04:43Sawant says anyone found the rights of the United States of Israel should not beителя for the US to return to the prison.
