00:00European troops began arriving in Greenland on Thursday to conduct reconnaissance missions aimed at exploring security options amid Trump annexation threats.
00:10Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Machado has given her Nobel Peace Prize medal to Donald Trump, saying it was a recognition of his commitment to her country's freedom.
00:21Latvian defense minister told Euronews he's confident the US-Denmark dispute over Greenland is not the end of NATO.
00:31European military personnel began arriving in Greenland on Thursday just hours after meetings between US-Danish and Greenlandic officials in Washington.
00:41The meeting failed to resolve what Denmark's foreign minister called fundamental disagreements over the mineral-rich Arctic nation.
00:49France, Sweden, Germany and Norway announced on Wednesday that they would deploy military personnel as part of a reconnaissance mission to Greenland's capital, NUK.
01:00Germany's defense ministry said in a statement that the mission aims to, quote, explore options for security in light of Russian and Chinese threats in the Arctic.
01:10The ministry noted that a team comprised of 13 Bundeswehr members were sent to NUK from Thursday until Sunday at Denmark's invitation.
01:19French President Emmanuel Macron said Paris would deploy more land, sea and air forces to join military exercises.
01:26The heightened military presence comes as US President Donald Trump remains insistent on taking over Greenland, citing US national security concerns.
01:37The threats gained weight following Washington's stunning military operation in Venezuela, which toppled and captured President Nicolas Maduro on the 3rd of January.
01:47Denmark's top diplomat said the meeting indicated that Trump still clearly wishes to, quote, conquer Greenland and stressed that a US takeover of the Danish territory was absolutely not necessary.
01:59Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to US President Donald Trump at the White House.
02:13She also discussed her country's future with Trump after he had questioned her credibility to lead the country.
02:20Machado's gesture came despite the organizers of the Nobel Prize saying it had no official meaning and would not be recognized.
02:27I presented the president of the Nobel Peace Prize and I told him this, listen to this, 200 years ago, General Lafayette gave Simon Bolivar a medal with George Washington face on it.
02:55It was given by General Lafayette as a sign of the brotherhood between the United States, people of the United States and the people of Venezuela in their fight for freedom against tyranny.
03:06And 200 years in history, the people of Bolivar are given back to the heir of Washington, a medal, in this case, a medal of the Nobel Peace Prize as a recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom.
03:30Despite the gesture, the future of Venezuela remains unclear.
03:35Trump has effectively sidelined Machado, who has long been the face of resistance in Venezuela.
03:41He instead signaled his willingness to work with acting president Delci Rodriguez, who had been Maduro's second in command.
03:48Trump styled himself on social media as the acting president of Venezuela and said he would be in charge of controlling oil proceeds from the country.
03:57He claims it would be difficult for Machado to lead because he believes she doesn't have support within the country.
04:06It is not the end of NATO.
04:09In an interview with Euronews flagship show Europe Today, Latvian Defense Minister Andris Sprouts sought to play down concerns about potential tensions within the Atlantic Alliance.
04:21Following threats by the U.S. it could use military force to annex Greenland.
04:25Everybody understands the importance of collective defense.
04:29Everybody understands the importance of NATO as a strong alliance.
04:33And this is mutually beneficial for both, for the United States and for Europe.
04:38That's why I am absolutely believe and confident it's not end at all.
04:43Sprouts noted that NATO, of which the U.S. and Denmark are both members,
04:48has long managed internal disagreements without undermining collective defense.
04:52But talks between the U.S., Denmark and Greenland earlier this week ended with the Danish foreign minister,
04:59telling reporters that President Donald Trump remains intent on conquering the semi-autonomous Danish territory.
05:06I will not over-dramatize.
05:08Of course, now we are in the process of discussing, especially the dialogue between the United States and Denmark.
05:17We see also in NATO sometimes there are some dialogues or discussions among countries.
05:24We know already for some time there is the discussion interaction between Greece and Turkey.
05:30But it doesn't mean that it somehow undermines NATO.
05:33The minister added Latvia stands ready to join other European countries in sending troops to Greenland
05:40as part of the Arctic endurance exercise it requested.
05:47Spanish singer Julio Iglesias says he rejects recent sexual harassment allegations against him.
05:53I deny having abused, coerced or disrespected any woman, the 82-year-old wrote in a message posted on his Instagram profile.
06:02Earlier this week, two women who said they worked for Iglesias in 2021
06:07claimed Iglesias sexually assaulted them while they were working at his residencies in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.
06:14According to the account of the alleged victims, Iglesias exercised absolute control over them and abused his power
06:21with behavior they describe as constant sexual assaults and humiliations.
06:26Following the revelations, the Prosecutor's Office of Spain's National Court decided to open a preliminary investigation
06:33into the allegations in one of the cases.
06:36And we also have them in the case for a full century of abuse and abuse and the proof of abuse.
06:44So, we were trying to talk to each other in the case that has nosedly classified as either on the of the cases.
06:48And then, we had a close number of Eclections, which were able to believe in the case of the same feeling.
06:51So, we're going to talk to each other for us and the questions for each other.
06:56So, for the case that we have something that we can see,
06:59you can see a special event on the other.
07:01So, at the moment, we have a great feeling we can see our lives.
07:02And then, you can see his and the sea executes.
07:04Splashdown of Crew 11.
07:24After 167 days in space, Dragon and NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fink,
07:29Kimya Yui of JAXA and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platinov are back on Earth.
07:59I think the design of this app is very interesting, but it's paid for it, it's paid for it, if it's paid for it, you can play it for it.
08:28It's paid for it, it's paid for it, but it's paid for it.
08:33I feel like the need for this challenge is not a big issue.
08:38I feel like the need for this challenge is not a big issue.
08:50I feel like the young people are connected to the home, but it's mostly the young people.
08:56They might use social media, but it's not easy to use it.
09:00But the term app is not just, you can hit a card, it's easier to use it.
09:05The way it's easy to use.

09:37The water in the early stages of the baths was apparently not very clean. It's not surprising
09:59because the water was supplied by a water lifting machine, so you must imagine there was probably
10:04a slave running in a kind of hamster wheel lifting up water buckets and supplying the baths with water.
10:22Well the building of an aqueduct is something very expensive even at that time and you can compare
10:28it to building an airport in modern times. In Roman time, in early imperial time, the society was
10:37getting more richer and each city wanted to have an aqueduct.
10:51You must imagine that the Aqueduct of Pompeii was probably fed from the so-called Aqua Augusta,
10:56and that's a giant aqueduct, it's about 120 kilometers long, running from the Apennines all
11:03the way to the Bay of Mycenaeum, west of Napoli, and it supplied something like 10 cities with water,
11:10with branches running from that central aqueduct.
