00:00Israel has reopened Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt on Monday for a limited people-only
00:06traffic, marking a significant step forward in the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
00:12The opening appears largely symbolic at this stage with the established quotas of people
00:16allowed passage daily being extremely low. Egyptian officials said that only 50 Palestinians
00:23will be allowed to cross the enclave in both directions daily. Israel added that up to 50
00:29Palestinian patients, accompanied by two relatives, will also be given passage. Local health officials
00:36in the enclave say that some 20,000 people are hoping to cross into Egypt to receive treatment
00:41for their injuries and wounds. At the current quotas, it would take more than one year for
00:47those in need to leave Gaza for treatment. The UN also estimates that some 100,000 Palestinians
00:54were forcibly displaced outside of Gaza during the war. At 50 a day, it could take well over
01:01five years to repatriate those wishing to return home. Officials did hint at the numbers of travelers
01:07increasing in the future, pending the success of the current system, but gave no time frames as to
01:13when that might be. The EU, which is overseeing the Israeli and Egyptian vetting of Palestinians
01:19at the border, has welcomed the reopening, but called for more aid to enter the territory
01:24to help those in need. Meanwhile, the Egyptian health ministry announced that it had prepared
01:30150 hospitals across the country to receive Gaza's injured and wounded in the days and weeks to come.
01:39A Russian drone attack on a bus near Palorad in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast has killed at least 15
01:44miners on Sunday, Ukraine's biggest private energy company, DTEK, reported. Seven others were injured
01:50when the drone exploded near a service bus carrying civilian workers home from a DTEK mine.
01:56The energy firm said Russia targeted its facilities in a mass attack.
02:01Earlier on Sunday, another Russian missile hit a maternity hospital in Zaporizhsia. The strike injured
02:07nine people, including a four-year-old boy, and sparked a fire on the second floor.
02:12Local governor Ivan Fedorov said the attack proved Russia is waging war against life itself.
02:17The incidents coincided with Ukrainian President Zelensky announcing peace talks for Tuesday
02:22and Wednesday in Abu Dhabi.
02:29Iran says it now considers all European Union militaries to be terrorist groups lashing out after
02:35the bloc declared the country's paramilitary-revolutionary guard, a terror group.
02:41The terror designation announcement made by the Islamic Republic Speaker of Parliament on Sunday
02:46comes after the EU placed the Islamic Revolutionary Guards of Iran on terror lists last week.
02:53Tehran's response, a likely symbolic move, uses a 2019 law to reciprocally declare other nations'
03:00military terror groups following the United States declaration of the guard as a terror group that
03:06year. The EU's move was triggered by the violent repression of mass protests. Iran's security
03:13forces have used extreme brutality against demonstrators in recent weeks. Human rights
03:18organizations assume that thousands have been killed, and several EU foreign ministers recently
03:24even spoke of possibly up to 30,000 victims. The United States was the first country in the world to
03:31list the IRGC as a terror group during President Donald Trump's first term in office.
03:40Portuguese soldiers are helping with clean-up and power restoration in Lerea following Storm
03:45Kristen. About 240 members of the armed forces are working with emergency and local authorities to assist
03:52affected communities. Troops have been on the ground since Wednesday clearing roads and cutting fallen
03:58trees. Additional personnel remain on standby to provide logistics and coordination support.
04:05The Defense Minister Nuno Melo visited Lerea to greet military teams.
04:12The Portuguese government has extended the state of emergency until Sunday, February 8th,
04:17the day of the presidential elections.
04:19Prime Minister Louis Montenegro said families whose homes were damaged will receive up to 10,000 euros
04:26for reconstruction. Aid will also cover losses in agriculture and forestry even where insurance does
04:34not apply. An intercity bus with 34 passengers crashed off a road in Antalya province, southern Turkey,
04:44on Sunday. Nine people died, including the driver, and dozens were injured when the vehicle rolled into a
04:50raven. The bus tilted hit a barrier and then tumbled down the embankment. Governor Hulis-Shayn confirmed that
04:57seven injured passengers are in critical condition. Some suffered severe injuries, including amputations.
05:03Heavy rain and fog hit Antalya recently. Separately, seven died in a head-on collision in Burdur,
05:0965 kilometers north.
05:19Pakistani police and military forces have killed 145 people in what they say were counter-terrorism
05:25operations against Indian-backed terrorists across the southwestern province of Balochistan over the
05:31weekend. Islamabad says the operations were launched a day after coordinated suicide and gun attacks targeted
05:38the region, killing 33 people on Saturday. Pakistan says 18 of those killed were civilians,
05:45including five women and three children, while the remaining 15 were security personnel.
05:51Provincial Chief Minister Sarfraz Bukti said that the bodies of the 145 alleged members of Fitna al-Hindustan,
05:59some who were Afghan nationals, are being held by the government.
06:03The term is commonly used to refer to the allegedly Indian-backed outlawed Baloch Liberation Army,
06:09or BLA. Bukti repeatedly accused India and Afghanistan of backing the assailants,
06:15allegations Kabul and Delhi deny. The BLA has been responsible for the majority of armed
06:21skirmishes and terrorist attacks in the mineral-rich Pakistani region. Their attacks frequently target
06:27security forces, Chinese interests and infrastructure projects. Officials say the attacks aim to undermine
06:34Islamabad's efforts of attracting investments in the region, isolate Pakistan from the global economy,
06:40and hinder its trade and development. Puerto Rican-American rapper and singer Bad Bunny won
06:51Album of the Year at this year's Grammy Awards. It is the first time a Spanish-language
06:56album has taken home the top prize. In what was a recurring theme in this year's Grammys,
07:02the artist criticized the U.S. government's immigration operations in his acceptance speech.
07:06Referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, Bad Bunny started his speech by saying,
07:12quote, ice out, before continuing with, we're not savage, we're humans, and we are Americans.
07:19I want to dedicate this award to all the people that had to leave their homeland, their country,
07:27to follow their dreams. The award show took place against the backdrop of mounting public anger after
07:34ice fatally shot two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in January. Other artists also chimed in, including
07:41Billie Eilish, who won Song of the Year for Wildflower, and Olivia Dean, who won the prize for Best New
07:46Artist. I'm a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated. Kendrick Lamar
07:51also made history, becoming the rapper with the most career Grammy Awards. Lamar has taken his total up
07:58to 27 Grammys, surpassing Jay-Z's previous record of 25.
08:05I have a purpose. Okay. Let me ask you something. Do you make money at this little table tennis
08:13thing? Not yet. Do you have a job? No. Backhand! Backhand! Forehand! How do you live? Well,
08:25I live with the confidence that if I believe in myself, the money will follow. And what do you plan
08:30to do if this whole dream of yours doesn't work out? That doesn't even enter my consciousness. Maybe it should.
08:43Everything in my life is falling apart, but I'm gonna figure it out. Do you need any help? I could help you.
08:48You want to go hustling again? Put your money where your mouth is.
08:51I can't support your mother. You're not gonna have to. Because I'm gonna step up. I'm gonna step up in a way
09:07you can't even imagine. Marty, I'm gonna make you an offer. I gotta do it completely on my own.
09:13It's every man for himself where I come from. That's just how I grew up. Hey, what are you doing?
09:21I don't think you understand mistakes here. You find that funny? I get nervous laughter sometimes.
09:28My eyes broke or is that mouth? Thank you so much. You're my up. We believe in you.
09:34Hey, I'll rip that unibrow right off his forehead. You want to get physical? Like an eight?
09:43Come on! He's right here! Get him or come on!
09:49Have you ever thought about what you're doing to me?
09:51Give us all money!
10:02And it's only a matter of time before I'm staring at you from the cover of a Wheaties box.
10:06You think it's that simple? Yeah, I do.
10:13I'll make you go for it.
10:17I don't know why I felt so weird.
10:23I don't know why I felt so weird.
10:24I don't know why I felt so weird.
10:26I don't know why I felt so weird.
10:28I thought it would be so weird.
10:30It's a massive, massive change in your life where you can't.
10:32It's a massive, massive change in your life where you can't, you can suddenly no longer
10:43move any of your limbs.
10:44And this kind of technology kind of gives you a new piece of hope.
10:49Everyone in my position tries to move some bit of their body to see if there is any form
10:53of recovery.
10:54But now I think I'm moving my hand to the right, to the left, thinking about clicking
10:57my fingers and the technology just understands what I want to do.
11:02And it does it.
11:17This technology is going to be a game changer for patients with severe neurological disability.
11:24And those patients have very little really to improve their independence.
11:29I'll see you next time.
