00:00The EU has joined the likes of the US, Canada and Australia as it moved to designate Iran's
00:06Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terror organization.
00:10US President Donald Trump said Russia agreed to not strike Kiev and other Ukrainian cities
00:15for one week as the country is experiencing freezing temperatures.
00:20The European Union has agreed to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps known as
00:26the IRGC as a terrorist organization.
00:28The gesture is deemed as highly symbolic and comes in response to the Islamic Republic's
00:34violent crackdown on protesters amid weeks of nationwide anti-government demonstrations.
00:40The political decision was taken on Thursday during a meeting of foreign affairs ministers
00:45in Brussels with its formal adoption expected to arrive in the coming days.
00:51Those who operate through terror must be treated as terrorists.
00:55Ministers also imposed sanctions on those responsible for the brutal crackdown of protests,
01:02including the Minister of Interior.
01:05Repression cannot go unanswered.
01:08The terror designation will introduce an asset freeze, a prohibition on the provision of funds,
01:14and a travel ban on all standing members of the IRGC.
01:17Many IRGC members are already subject to these very restrictions under the regular EU sanctions regime.
01:25The breakthrough was made possible after France, Spain, and Belgium,
01:29who had concerns about the designation,
01:32had a change of heart on Wednesday, a day before the meeting.
01:35The Revolutionary Guard Corps are accused of orchestrating violent repressions of protests in Iran
01:41and of using lethal force to tame opposition.
01:44They're also accused of supplying weapons to Russia in its war on Ukraine,
01:49as well as to Iran's various proxies, from Hezbollah to Hamas to the Houthis.
01:54The EU now joins the ranks of the US, Canada, and Australia,
01:58who have all already designated the IRGC as a terror group.
02:02U.S. President Donald Trump said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin
02:10had agreed to not target Kiev and other Ukrainian cities for one week
02:15as the country faces freezing winter temperatures.
02:18Russia has not yet responded or confirmed the statement.
02:23Earlier in the week, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov was asked about a potential mutual halt
02:28on strikes on energy infrastructure.
02:30Beskov had refused to comment.
02:34I personally ask President Putin not to fire on Kiev and the cities and towns for a week.
02:42It's not just like cold, it's extraordinary cold, record-setting cold.
02:48Dякую американській стороні за зусилля, щоб в цей час зупинити удари по енергетиці
02:53і сподіваємось, що Америці вдасться це забезпечити.

04:42on the current war theaters, for example, a drone attack that comes from very far and will saturate the defense of the air base.
04:50The message is clear. Quickly dispersing fighter jets is essential in the face of imminent threats.
05:00Crowds stood for a minute of silence at the Ski World Cup in Kranz, Montana,
05:05to honor the victims of a fire that claimed dozens of lives at a bar during New Year's celebrations.
05:15Event panels around the venue can also be seen bearing a memorial inscription in honor of the victims.
05:2340 people lost their lives in the fire while 116 were injured.
05:28The French owners of the Swiss bar, Jacques and Jessica Moretti, are suspected of negligent homicide,
05:36negligent bodily harm and causing a fire by negligence.
05:40Investigators believe that sparkling candles ignited the fire when they came too close to the ceiling,
05:47which was outfitted with soundproofing material.
05:50They are looking into whether the material conformed with regulations
05:54and whether the candles were permitted for use in the bar.
05:5830 years after his death, Nigerian Afrobeat legend Felo Kuti is sent to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's Grammys.
06:11He'll be the first African to achieve the honor since the award was introduced in 1963.
06:16Kuti pioneered the Afrobeat style in the 1960s and 70s with drummer Tony Allen, fusing influences from West African music with American soul-finding jazz.
06:30Across an almost 30-year career, Kuti released more than 50 albums until his death in 1997 at the age of 58.
06:42But his influence is still present.
06:45One of the nominees for this year's Best Global Music Album is Nigerian superstar Burner Boy, who's called Felo Kuti the only African artist greater than me.
06:58Kuti's family and friends will attend Sunday's Grammy ceremony to accept the award.
07:03Discovered back in 1912, this Republican-era home has remained largely unknown for more than a century, but that's about to change.
07:20From March, House of the Griffins, dating back to between the late second and the mid-first century BC, which we were given exclusive access to, will finally open to the public.
07:32Cioè, in questo caso noi abbiamo la casa più antica dell'epoca repubblicana a Roma, finora almeno testimoniata, e soprattutto la casa che mantiene un elevato sistema decorativo sia nei pavimenti che nelle pareti.
07:52Quindi noi abbiamo, diciamo, un canale di informazione di quello che era un sistema di vita in età repubblicana, come non...
08:02The conservation project, like many others in the area, was made possible thanks to funding from the EU's post-COVID recovery fund.
08:11Visitors will be able to explore the site through a remotely accessible, real-time guided experience, allowing the public to discover the site while protecting its fragile remains.
08:22A solution designed to preserve the artifacts that have survived for centuries.
08:25The intent with the PNRR project was to focus on a total accessibility.
08:32The total accessibility intended for everyone, however, but to the possibility of providing the vision of the Domus,
08:40the TNRR project was also to take advantage of the home's presence and to see how the house was in the first place in the home's presence.
08:54But obviously it is impossible at this moment, as we have, because it is not only for a conservative problem, but also because the only system of exit to the house is a very rapid, original scale, and therefore we do not have the possibility at the moment to offer an alternative system.
09:14After centuries, the doors of this luxurious multi-level residence, believed to have once belonged to a wealthy Roman senator, are re-opening, offering a rare and vivid glimpse into daily life in ancient Rome.

10:27Iconic Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who plays the character of Tony,
10:34recalled the process of preparing for the role.
10:37Ithiko provided me a lot of materials to work on,
10:43the neuroscience and books about plants.
10:48And I asked Ithiko, what else do I need to prepare for the character?
10:55And she said, nothing, I just need you to be there.
10:58I said, okay, then let's do it on set.
