00:00After two days of talks in Berlin, European leaders agreed to extensive security guarantees
00:07for Ukraine, committing to coming to Kyiv's defense in a future attack by Russia.
00:13In a statement released on Monday night, Europe and the U.S. committed to work together to
00:17provide the guarantees, including a European-led armed force supported by the U.S.
00:23That is a really substantial agreement that we have not yet had, that both the European and the
00:35Americans are together together, and President Zelensky has taken on Article 5 of the NATO-Vertrags
00:44to provide similar security guarantees for Ukraine.
00:48That is, in my opinion, a really big progress.
00:51Other than a multinational force on Ukrainian soil, guarantees also include a U.S.-led mechanism
01:07to monitor and verify an eventual ceasefire and Ukraine's accession to the European Union.
01:12Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said territories were the most difficult issue of the negotiations,
01:24due to the vast disagreements with Russia, which is intent on taking as much land as possible.
01:30The diplomatic breakthrough in Berlin comes days before EU leaders are set together in a crucial
01:48summit in Brussels to decide how to raise €90 billion to finance Ukraine's budgetary and military needs for 2026 and 2027.
01:56The death toll from the shooting on Sydney's beachfront has risen to 15, with more than 40 injured still being treated.
02:08Among the dead are a 10-year-old girl and a British rabbi.
02:12Authorities are currently aware of two attackers, but are still investigating whether they had accomplices.
02:19The 50-year-old father was shot dead by police at the scene, while his 24-year-old son is being treated in critical condition at a Sydney hospital.
02:27Both men had licenses to own firearms for recreational hunting.
02:32Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has now promised that his government would tighten gun control laws.
02:38The type of atrocities we saw yesterday can't be tolerated, and it's not fair that any section of the community cannot go around their usual way in life.
02:47I understand, and the New South Wales Police understand the fear that is currently in that community, and I think it's really important that we show the resolute support for the community.
02:57Meanwhile, more and more people are gathering at Bondi Beach to pay their respects to the victims with bouquets of flowers and candles.
03:04Australian flags have been lowered to half-mast across the country.
03:09We were running up behind me, and you could just hear the gunshots, and they're just so loud.
03:15And we didn't know which way that they were shooting, so we were running on the open road.
03:19And images are just flashing, and I just need to get my family safe, so we're just running with heaps of people.
03:27About 1,000 people attended Sunday's Hanukkah event in a park near Bondi Beach.
03:32Authorities have officially classified the attack as anti-Semitic terrorism.
03:41The European Commission is set on signing the Mercosur agreement before the end of the year, increasing pressure on France to lift its opposition.
03:50Supporters of the deal have grown impatient after 25 years of negotiations between the Mercosur countries and the Commission.
03:57A Commission spokesperson stressed the urgency of reaching a deal due to a shift in the global geo-economic landscape.
04:04The Commission's expectation remains to sign the EU Mercosur agreement by the end of 2025, subject to the completion of Council procedures.
04:13While it is for the Council to decide on next steps, in the view of the Commission, signing the deal now is a matter of crucial importance, economically, diplomatically and geopolitically.
04:25French farmers have increasingly expressed their anger at President Emmanuel Macron, stressing that the deal would expose them to unfair competition from Latin American imports.
04:36France has called for a delay to the December deadline, arguing that the right conditions are not yet in place for the vote to proceed.
04:44EU lawmakers will vote Tuesday on a safeguard clause proposed by the Commission, with some MEPs adding amendments on reciprocity.
04:56Workers at Lurev voted on Monday to strike over staffing, funding and security concerns, shutting the museum for the day.
05:03Around 400 staff backed the walkout, forcing the world's most visited museum to turn visitors away at the doors.
05:10The personnel of Louvre voted unanimously for the grève at the museum.
05:19Because the conditions of work are not only unacceptable, there has been a decrease in effect over years.
05:25And there is also the issue of remuneration.
05:28If you work in Louvre in excellence, you will win less than your colleagues in the ministry.
05:32So a whole bunch of reasons cannot continue.
05:36Unions say talks with the government and culture minister Rashid Adati failed to resolve fears after October's daylight jewel heist.
05:44Thieves used a basket lift to break in and steal French crown jewels with a Senate probe, later blaming broken cameras, outdated kit and understat control rooms.
05:55Staff warned that overcrowding and under-resourcing are putting both security and working conditions at risk.
06:01Adults who received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccines have a lower risk of death, regardless of the cause, a new French study has found.
06:16The study, which looked at 28 million French adults aged 18 to 59, found vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 and a 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality.
06:31Researchers said the lower mortality risk was due in part to strong protection against severe illness, with vaccinated adults far less likely to die from the infection.
06:44They also suggested that fewer complications related to long COVID-19 may contribute to the overall reduction in death.
06:51The researchers' team concluded that a causal link between mRNA vaccination and excess long-term mortality now appears highly unlikely.
07:03A person of interest linked to the Brown University shooting who had been taken into custody on Sunday has been released.
07:14According to officials, law enforcement authorities had insufficient grounds to hold the individual.
07:20Saturday's attack at the Ivy League University in the city of Providence, Rhode Island, left two students dead and nine injured when a shooter opened fire in a classroom during an exam.
07:31The release of the person of interest leaves law enforcement without any suspect, and Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said the news is likely to cause fresh anxiety for the community.
07:42Officials have pledged to double down on efforts in the investigation by canvassing for video surveillance that could help pinpoint the shooter's identity.
07:51The shooting happened during one of the busiest periods of the academic year, as many students were on campus to sit their final exams.
07:58The mass shooting is the latest of nearly 400 in the United States this year.
08:03Do more diagnostics, we personalize cancer treatment by utilizing the power of AI.
08:10And while there has been great improvements in cancer care over the last years, there's still a lot of patients that receive cancer care.
08:18toxic treatment with no benefits.
08:19What we aim to do is to identify the patients that truly benefit from the treatment and the patients that have a low risk and can safely forego this toxic treatment.
08:33What we aim to do is to identify the patients that truly benefit from the treatment and the patients that have a low risk and can safely forego this toxic treatment.
08:46We don't really know what the AI is looking for, but we have then afterwards correlated with pathologist evaluation and seeing that it makes sense.
09:03It picks up many of the features that pathologists also look at, but it of course also combine this and look at things that pathologists may not know yet.
09:13Our AI solution is more accurate in predicting the outcome of the patient than the pathologists are themselves.
09:24So we can supplement the pathologist evaluation and therefore improve the prediction of outcome and therefore personalize the treatment of the patients.

10:17Like a lot of fans, I had seen the film Orgueil et préjuger, from 2005 and also Becoming Jane, I started researching the works of Jane Austen and the period of THE R después in Angleterre.
10:20So the social side and the literary side care interested me.

10:31The fact of being in costume, we still have the impression of being at this time.
10:47To be in the time, the time of the weekend, the afternoon.
10:51I was based on an image of the time, an image of the time.
10:56After I found the fabric, I created a historical patron.
11:17It's an obligation passage when we are part of the good society.
11:22We must know dance, but it's also a social ritual.
11:29We must also be able to do a lot of work for the next day.
