00:02Iran and the United States made significant progress in talks in Switzerland on Thursday,
00:07mediators said after the latest round of negotiations, and agreed to further discussions next week.
00:13The two sides adjourned after around three hours of talks and resumed the discussions later in the day.
00:35The talks were not expected to lead to a breakthrough and the U.S. continues to waste strikes as it
00:40gathers a massive fleet of aircraft and warships in the region.
00:44Last Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump gave Tehran 15 days to reach a deal.
00:50Trump wants Iran to completely halt its enrichment of uranium and roll back both its long-range missile program and
00:57its support for regional armed groups.
01:00Iran says it will only discuss nuclear issues and maintains its atomic program is for entirely peaceful purposes.
01:11Doctors in Iran say Tehran's security agents dressed in plain clothes reportedly obstructed them from administering care to injured protesters
01:18at hospitals.
01:20One medical professional said a man in his 40s was rushed to the hospital's emergency unit after being shot in
01:26the head at close range during a demonstration.
01:29When he and others tried to hurry into the room to attend to him, he said the agents blocked their
01:34way, pushing some back with their rifles.
01:37The man was pronounced dead minutes later, after which agents placed his body in a black body bag,
01:42which they transferred along with other bodies into the back of a van and drove off.
01:47Doctors say this was not an isolated incident.
01:50They reported that in January, plain clothes officers swarmed hospitals in multiple cities where they often also obstructed care to
01:58patients in critical condition.
02:00They added that the officers also intimidated staff, snatched protesters, and took away the dead in body bags.
02:07Dozens of doctors were also reportedly arrested simply for performing their duties.
02:16Pakistan has declared open war on Afghanistan, launching a series of airstrikes on major cities, including the capital, Kabul, on
02:23Friday.
02:24The attack follows a deadly exchange of fire overnight, with the Taliban reportedly retaliating for previous Pakistani strikes along the
02:32border.
02:34Pakistani Defense Minister Kavaya Mohamed Asif said they had hoped for peace and stability in the region after the NATO
02:40withdrawal,
02:41but had now lost all patience, claiming the country became a colony of India, exporting terrorism.
02:47The Taliban government denied Islamabad's claims that it is failing to act against militant groups.
02:53The conflict comes after months of rising tensions and a failed ceasefire, brokered by Qatar and Turkey,
02:59which has already left dozens of soldiers and civilians dead, also leading to a massive migrant crisis.
03:05With Saudi Arabia now attempting to mediate, the UN warns that the escalating violence threatens to plunge the entire region
03:12into a humanitarian disaster.
03:18President Emmanuel Macron, who has the power to unleash France's nuclear arsenal, will update the French nuclear deterrence doctrine on
03:27Monday.
03:27His speech is expected.
03:29As Europe is concerned, Russia's threats could extend beyond Ukraine and doesn't know if it can count on the protective
03:35umbrella of U.S. nuclear weapons.
03:38If one day there is a reason that we cannot believe anymore in the U.S. security guaranteed that all
03:44the forces, both nuclear and conventional, are withdrawn from Europe,
03:48in that regard, yes, France and the U.K. will really have to step up, maybe increase the number of
03:54warheads.
03:55But the most important thing, I think, is to prevent national proliferation.
04:00France has fewer than 300 warheads, which is sufficient to inflict unacceptable damage to any country threatening its vital interests,
04:09Emmanuel Macron said in 2020.
04:11There is, for the moment, no plan of sharing the decision to use nuclear weapons.
04:16It will always be up to the French president to decide.
04:20And there is not the idea of the Allies paying for the French nuclear deterrence.
04:26While China and North Korea are expanding their nuclear arsenal, the United States considers resuming nuclear tests.
04:38Commission President Ursula von der Leyen decided Friday to move ahead with the provisional application of the Mercosur Trade Agreement.
04:46It brushes aside a judicial review launched by MEPs that has suspended the ratification process.
04:52The Commission will continue to work closely with all EU institutions, member states and stakeholders to ensure a smooth and
05:03transparent process.
05:05Let me conclude.
05:08Mercosur is one of the most consequential trade agreements of the first half of this century.
05:14French President Emmanuel Macron has criticized the European Commission's decision.
05:33The deal has split member states for years.
05:35While Germany has championed the agreement as bolstering access to global markets,
05:40France has led opposition arguing that it will expose EU farmers to unfair competition.
05:48Lithuania's Prime Minister has rejected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's claim that Ukraine is deliberately blocking Russian oil from reaching
05:56Hungary via the damaged Druzhba pipeline.
06:00Inga Ruginyenye told your news flagship morning program Europe Today that the accusation was absurd.
06:06When you face off every day with the threats, different kinds of threats from balloons and other things,
06:15when you're fighting for the security, not just for Lithuania, but for whole Europe,
06:20to hear such words and decisions, it's nonsense.
06:26Hungary is blocking the EU's 20th sanctions package against Russia and preventing Brussels from delivering a 90 billion euros loan
06:36to Ukraine,
06:37demanding Kiev restore all flows through the pipeline.
06:40Kiev claims that a section of the pipeline was hit by a Russian drone.
06:49Estonian Prime Minister Kristine Mikhail told your news flagship morning show Europe Today that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot afford
06:57to end Moscow's war in Ukraine.
06:59While Mikhail said he does not claim to understand Putin,
07:03he believes the logic of dictatorship explains Moscow's continued aggression even as negotiations take place.
07:09It's like riding a bike, being a dictator, that when you stop, you will fall over.
07:15That is the same with Vladimir Putin.
07:17For example, everybody in Europe, and I always remind my colleagues that right now Putin has more men under the
07:24arms than at the start of the war.
07:26If we would stop right now, and he would stop right now killing women and children in Ukraine,
07:32then what to do with those guys?
07:34Mikhail warned that a premature peace without firm security guarantees could create instability not only inside Russia but across Europe.
07:43His comments come as an EU plan to mobilize 90 billion euros in support for Ukraine remains politically blocked.
07:51Mikhail expressed confidence that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antony Kosta
07:59would find alternative ways to unlock the funding.
08:06Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told members of Congress on Thursday
08:11that she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's or Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes,
08:15starting off two days of depositions that will also include former President Bill Clinton.
08:21The closed-door deposition concluded after over six hours of questioning.
08:26Clinton also said after her deposition that she was confident her husband did not know of Epstein's crimes.
08:32I don't know how many times I had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein.
08:36I never went to his island.
08:39I never went to his homes.
08:41I never went to his offices.
08:43So it's on the record numerous times.
08:46The hearing was briefly suspended after a photo of Clinton in the deposition was posted online,
08:52an apparent breach of the closed-door arrangement which the Republican side had asked for.
08:56They had a chance to do it in public, and I wish they had done it in public.
09:01And I think they're making the wrong decision avoiding doing it in public.
09:07Bill Clinton has emerged as a top target for Republicans amid the political struggle over who receives the most scrutiny
09:14for their ties to Epstein.
09:16Several Democratic lawmakers joined with Republicans on the oversight panel in charge of the Clintons' depositions.
09:23The Democrats, including the Clintons, have also argued the investigation is being weaponized to attack political opponents of President Donald
09:31Trump,
09:31rather than to conduct legitimate oversight, and have called on Trump to testify as well.
09:40In Greece there is no cultural culture, as in other countries, mainly in the Central Europe.
09:46After the tragic tragic death of the Tempons, the emergency of the trens had been killed after a crash,
09:51but now it is a result of some of the consequences of the trens and an accident.
09:55So, the emergency of the trens are being weaponized to attack?
09:59Are they feeling safe?
10:00No.
10:01I don't like to do it in the trens.
10:04I don't like to take a crash.
10:05It's a man, I feel it's a man, I feel it's a man, I feel it's a man.
10:07I feel it's safe and I use it.
10:10I personally feel it's safe.
10:13Three years after the deadly train accident in Tempe, Euronews investigated train safety and sought answers from all parties.
10:21Today the trains are more safe than what they are in Tempe and much more safe than what they are
10:25in 2019.
10:26In 2019, in Athenia and Thessaloniki, we had only 1% of the telecommunication system,
10:32only 5.000 km or 500 km, which we should be able to be tested.
10:36Today we have 80% and in the summer, in an exam, we will have 100% of the telecommunication,
10:42and 100% of the ETS, a system that has not existed.
10:46The real life conditions simulators are something new for Greece.
10:50They are now being used to train employees of the Greek Railways.
10:54The training will be easier, with greater time and longer.
11:01The machine is an entrepreneur, who must be able to perform constantly.
11:08According to officials, a state-of-the-art train geolocation system has been created
11:12in collaboration with Elon Musk's Starlink satellite system, marking a European first.
11:17This system is first-up for Europe.
11:19It is a technology that, with a digital internet internet,
11:24with high levels and high levels,
11:28can completely change the model with which it works,
11:32and it will provide a way to give it to an animal.
11:35I don't know if I'm wrong.
