02:24He needs to go there and walk by distance....
02:27He takes a blank process at the verge...
02:29He stands for the fact that the security requires the Saya power and pen no longer!!!
02:32Now subsequently...
02:36No他的 idea is to be overcome...
02:39Hell who died...
02:41especially those from the United States and regain control over critical digital
02:46infrastructure. It comes at a crucial moment as France like Europe
02:51reaches a turning point regarding digital sovereignty.
02:56The government said that switching to Visio could cut licensing costs and save as much as one
03:01million euros per year for every 100,000 users. The move also comes as
03:06Europe has questioned its over-reliance on US information technology infrastructure.
03:11Thank you, Commissioner for
03:16Technological Sovereignty, Henna Virgunen, responded to France's move towards
03:21banning social media for under-15s in an interview with Euronews.
03:26The crux of the matter is having appropriate age verification tools in place
03:31to enforce such bans. Targeted platforms include TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram.
03:36among others. On Monday, France's National Assembly backed a bill to
03:41this end, citing mental health concerns. If passed by the Senate, platforms must
03:46block access to teenagers through such age verification mechanisms.
03:51We are currently now investigating online platforms that how they are checking the
03:56age of the user because we know that some very small kids have already their own children.
04:01social media accounts. And now the member states are discussing that what is
04:06the right age really for that. We have to really look at what kind of technologies are used and how we
04:11will set also the minimum age there because of course it means that if
04:16we have very strict rules here, then everybody should verify their age.
04:21And in the same time, we shouldn't have the situation that you have to give your personal
04:26data for online platform. So we are also working now with age verification tool.
04:31that you can also verify your age without giving your own personal data.
04:36social media platforms for failing to fulfill their obligation to, for example, protect
04:41consumers from harmful content. This duty is part of the EU's landmark digital
04:46services act or DSA. We see that really the online platform.
04:51platforms, many of them, they have really changed to be more and more addictive.
04:56So especially the young people, they are using a lot of time online and also the
05:01content what is not shown for them. It's not fitting for their age often also.
05:06So under DSA, we have clear application for the online platforms that when minors are using
05:11these services, very high level of privacy, security and safety have to ensure
05:16it for the minors. And this is exactly a point where we are now investigating online platforms.
05:21Australia became the first country in the world to take this step in December last year.
05:26Denmark, Spain and Greece are also studying such a ban.
05:29The European Parliament is actively
05:31pushing for a harmonized EU-wide approach, banning social media access until the
05:36age of 16.
05:41military general Mark Rutte is facing backlash after saying that the EU should
05:46should keep on dreaming about becoming independent from the US in matters
05:51related to security and defense. His comments came on the heels of US President
05:56Donald Trump's attempt to seize Greenland from Denmark through punitive measures.
06:01tensions were diffused by a deal on Arctic security, brokered by Russia.
06:06So when President Trump is doing good stuff, I will praise him and I don't mind him.
06:11publishing text messages. And if anyone thinks here, again, that the European Union
06:16or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming. You can't.
06:21We count. We need each other.
06:23Rutte argued that European nations would have to speak
06:26to spend 10% of their GDP rather than 5% as under the current GDP.
06:31to make up for the loss of Washington's backing.
06:34In response, the European Commission
06:36said the focus should remain on increasing EU's resilience and independence.
06:41We are committed to making sure that we become
06:46increasingly resilient, increasingly independent, on the various fronts we just talked about.
06:51We talked about energy. That's one where we have a positive story.
06:56to tell in terms of how we've been able to reduce our dependence on imports of
07:01fossil fuels from Russia. And such dependencies are seen also in other areas.
07:06on defense, on critical raw materials.
07:09Last week, Commission President...
07:11President Ursula von der Leyen called for greater European independence in
07:16response to the growing geopolitical instability.
07:21President Ursula von der Leyen
07:26President Ursula von der Leyen
07:31President Ursula von der Leyen
07:32President Ursula von der Leyen
07:34President Ursula von der Leyen
07:36President Ursula von der Leyen
07:41according to state media, while independent sources have put the numbers
07:46at above 30,000.
07:51Iranian health ministry officials in a report claiming that more than 30,000
07:56had been killed, while The Guardian newspaper has reported a similar figure.
08:01U.N. special reporter for Iran, Mahi Sator, said she had received
08:06indications that the actual number may reach tens of thousands.
08:11Dr. Hashim Mozenzadeh, a France-based surgeon with hospital contact.
08:16Inside Iran, told Euronews Farsi that at least 22,000 deaths
08:21had been recorded in forensic facilities.
08:24Mozenzadeh said ever
08:26Evidence showed security forces shot people who were fleeing and more than 90,000
08:31bodies were transported to a Tehran cemetery in the space of 30 years.
08:3636 hours.
08:37He added that several medical personnel have been arrested
08:41for treating protesters and for refusing to cooperate with security officers.
08:46Human rights organizations have reported that Iranian security forces
08:51unlawfully used rifles, shotguns loaded with metal pellets,
08:56water cannons, tear gas and beatings against largely peaceful protests.

09:35matches due to the extreme heat.
09:37I'm drinking a lot of water standing by these
09:40misting fans and trying to have some of the
09:42ice-cold beverages they have here.
09:44We're going to see...
09:45Stay as long as we can handle the heat.
09:48Making sure sunscreen, hats...
09:50Bottles of water, making sure, staying hydrated and
09:53there's lots of stations here to be able to
09:55bring your own bottle and stay hydrated.
09:56No casualties have been reported.
10:00So far, but authorities urged caution as they
10:02recorded three forest fires which have not yet...
10:05been contained. Temperatures dropped slightly on
10:08Wednesday, although the heat wave...
10:10is due to linger until the weekend.
10:15We'll see you next time.
10:35Dark matter is this invisible architect of the universe.
10:39And even if it's invisible, we can observe it indirectly.
10:44Through the effect it has on the stars in the background, and in particular...
10:49It's gravity.
10:50And that gravity will subtly bend...
10:54It's the light from very distant galaxies.
11:08As the light travels towards us from those distant galaxies at the other side of the universe...
11:12It has to navigate its way through all the dark matter, and light, it turns out, doesn't...
11:17It doesn't travel in straight lines.
11:18It gets slightly bent all the time, and what happens is that those distant galaxies...
11:22appear slightly distorted.
11:24They appear warped into unusual shapes.
11:27And by looking at across the galaxies, we sort of see, oh, there's one that looks like the Milky Way, there's a fuzzy blob.
11:32Oh, hang on, there's a really unusual looking galaxy.
11:34That's because it's got some dark matter in front.
11:37So that's how James Webb Space Telescope can see dark matter, even though it's...
11:42invisible.
