00:00Ukraine is opening up exports of its domestically produced drones to Europe,
00:05President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday.
00:10EU Foreign Affairs Chief Kaya Kalas has warned that peace efforts for Ukraine
00:14risk in treating Russian aggression unless Moscow is forced to make real concessions.
00:21Even when you conducted a security drill simulating a scenario
00:25in which a train transits from mainland Russia to Kaliningrad.
00:30UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended his leadership and told Labour and peace
00:36he'll stay on as Prime Minister.
00:40Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Ukraine will be opening weapons export
00:45centres across Europe starting from mid-February.
00:49Speaking during a meeting with students and faculty at the Kyiv Aviation Institute on Monday,
00:55Zelenskyy said manufacturing of drones with the use of Ukrainian technology will start
00:59in Germany and later in the United Kingdom.
01:03He's very hopeful that the export goes on.
01:0710 export centres in Europe will be in the United States already in the United States.
01:13It will be in the United States, and the Baltic countries, and the Nordic countries.
01:20That is, 10 representatives in the United States will be working in the United States.
01:23The Ukrainian president emphasized that drone manufacturing has become the biggest sector in Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.
01:50According to Zelenskyy, about 450 companies inside Ukraine are involved in production of various types of drones as the four-year war fills a boom in the defense sector.
02:07Lithuania conducted a security drill on Monday, simulating a scenario in which a train traveling from mainland Russia transits through the country to reach Kaliningrad.
02:17The drill is based on an incident that took place last summer.
02:24In June, a Russian citizen disembarked from a transit train, raising concerns over potential security risks linked to the corridor.
02:34The incident prompted Lithuania to tighten its transit controls.
02:38Military drills were also conducted in the Polish city of Branyville, near the border of the Kaliningrad exclave.
03:00The exercises featured the Korean-made K2 Black Panther tanks, which were deployed to the region in August in an effort to bolster NATO's eastern flank.
03:11EU Foreign Affairs chief Kaya Kaliningrad has warned that peace efforts for Ukraine risk entrenching Russian aggression unless Moscow is forced to make real concessions.
03:27Speaking on your news show Europe today, Kaya Kaliningrad expressed wariness of the ongoing U.S.-led talks with Russia and Ukraine that concluded last Thursday in Abu Dhabi.
03:39Well, we haven't seen Russia really taking the talks seriously because, you know, while Ukraine already agreed to unconditional ceasefire over a year ago, then Russia keeps on bombing.
03:51I mean, just yesterday we heard how they're bombing civilians, civilian infrastructure all the time.
03:58Plus, they don't really have serious people, you know, behind that table.
04:02So I don't expect anything out of this, really.
04:06Kaliningrad acknowledged the Trump administration is bringing both sides together, but stressed that the imbalance is stark.
04:13We only have seen what Ukrainians are willing to concede in order to end this war, she said.
04:18We haven't seen any concessions on the Russian side, she added.
04:21UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended his leadership and told Labour MPs he'll stay on as Prime Minister.
04:34Also on Monday, Scottish Labour leader Anna Sarwar called for Starmer's resignation as the Prime Minister faces increased political pressure over the Peter Mandelson-Epstein scandal.
04:44This isn't easy and it's not without pain, as I have a genuine friendship with Keir Starmer, but my first priority and my first loyalty is to my country, Scotland.
04:59And I am not willing to sacrifice Scotland's NHS, our schools, our communities, our towns, cities, villages and islands to a third decade of an SNP government.
05:10That's why the distraction needs to end and the leadership in Downing Street has to change.
05:18Following Sarwar's statement, various cabinet members expressed support for Starmer, including his deputy David Lammy, Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper and his former deputy Angela Rayner.
05:32Starmer appointed Mandelson to Britain's most important diplomatic post in December of 2024.
05:40He did so even though he knew Mandelson had maintained contact with Epstein after the financier's conviction in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
05:51Starmer addressed Epstein's victims last week, apologizing for, quote, believing Mandelson's lies and appointing him.
05:59He's never done it.
06:10France has not been spared by the shockwave caused by the Epstein scandal.
06:14The latest tremor is the resignation of the president of the Arab World Institute and former minister of culture, Jack Long.
06:21Faced with the turmoil caused by the publication of three million documents by the U.S. Department of Justice at the end of January,
06:30the French president wants above all for the investigation to run its course.
06:34Manifestement, il y avait un système qui était très large, qui justifie que la justice fasse son travail de manière indépendante et dans le calme.
06:42Last week, the French National Financial Prosecutor's Office opened a preliminary investigation into Jack Long and his daughter Caroline Long for aggravated tax fraud laundering.
06:55American documents refer to email exchanges between the former French minister and the now deceased sex offender.
07:02Jeffrey Epstein also co-founded an offshore company with Jack Long's daughter for the purpose of acquiring works of art.
07:09Juan Pablo Guanipa was re-arrested after less than 12 hours of gaining his freedom from a Venezuelan prison.
07:22Opposition figures, including leader Maria Corina Machado, whom Guanipa is a close ally to, described the incident as a kidnapping.
07:30She wrote in a post on X that the opposition politician was forcibly pushed into vehicles as heavily armed men dressed in civilian clothes stormed his residence.
07:41Later on Monday, the public prosecutor's office released a statement announcing that Guanipa was again taken into custody and placed under house arrest.
07:51The statement alleged that the opposition lawmaker had not complied with the terms of his release, prompting his capture.
07:57The former National Assembly vice president was released on Sunday after more than eight months in prison, together with several prominent opposition members.
08:07His release came as part of a government initiative, kick-started by acting President Delcey Rodriguez to free political detainees after the U.S. executed a stunning military operation last month.
08:19The operation ended with the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his extradition to New York, where he faces charges of narco-terrorism.
08:29Detentions in Venezuela have routinely been criticized as arbitrary, politically motivated, and mere attempts at muzzling dissent.
08:38Machado has called for the immediate release of Guanipa.
08:41Following her landslide election victory in Japan, Prime Minister Sanayi Takaichi said she won't bask in the afterglow and has vowed to deliver on her campaign pledges.
08:56Dakaichi's victory has already proven to be impactful as Asian markets rose following her election win.
09:25A 64-year-old Prime Minister regained a substantial amount of support for the Liberal Democratic Party, which it had lost in recent elections due to inflation and corruption.
09:37Takaichi was on the LDP's ultra-conservative fringe when she became party chief and prime minister in October last year.
09:45Since then, she has proven to be a hit with voters, especially young ones, but will now have to deliver on the economy and inflation.
09:55serious wins
09:57Ketikaichi's victory
09:59Ketikaichi's victory
09:59kaiichi is akni
10:16Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny, that's what it's about, his message, I am so proud to be a Puerto
10:39Rican, love his message of unity, including all the people, the Latina community, to be here
10:46to support him, we've never had someone who only speaks Spanish.
10:50I just love his music, I love that he is so passionate about his culture, and he just really
10:58cares about people, you can tell, even just from his speech at the Grammys, it was just
11:04beautiful.
11:09What do you think of 250 Americans?
