00:00The European Commission has called on Hungary to clarify reports claiming Hungary's foreign
00:05minister regularly shared sensitive EU information to his Russian counterpart.
00:10U.S. President Donald Trump announced a five-day extension on the deadline for the reopening
00:14of the Strait of Hormuz saying he had very productive conversations with Tehran.
00:20Slovenia's Liberal Prime Minister Robert Golub has claimed victory over conservatives
00:25in a fiercely contested parliamentary election.
00:32The European Commission has called on Hungary to clarify reports claiming Hungarian Foreign
00:38Minister Peter Siyarto regularly shared sensitive information from European Union meetings to
00:43his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
00:46The reports regarding the Hungarian Foreign Minister allegedly disclosing to his Russian
00:53counterpart, the closed-door ministerial level discussions in the Council are greatly
00:58concerning and a relationship of trust between member states and between them and the institution
01:04is fundamental for the work of the EU and we expect the Hungarian government to provide
01:12the clarifications.
01:13First reported by the Washington Post, several current and former European security officials
01:19were cited saying Siyarto regularly calls Lavrov during breaks in European Council meetings
01:24with direct reports on what was discussed.
01:28The Hungarian government denied the allegations, calling them fake news.
01:33The reports are explosive as EU member states are bound by the principle of sincere cooperation
01:38and the content of the meetings is understood to be confidential.
01:42Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk was among the first to condemn the revelations, saying
01:47they came as no surprise.
01:49The reports emerged as political tensions rise ahead of Hungary's parliamentary elections.
01:54Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government is one of the few in Europe to maintain regular
01:59ties with the Kremlin.
02:01His Fidesz party faces a strong challenge from opposition leader Peter Magyar's TISA party,
02:06which is leading in opinion polls.
02:09The United States has announced that it is extending the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
02:15to international shipping.
02:16President Donald Trump on Monday said that he would hold off on strikes against Iranian power plants
02:21for five more days, adding he had very good and productive conversations with Iranians
02:26that could yield a complete and total resolution in the war.
02:30Trump made this announcement on his Truth Social site hours ahead of his self-imposed deadline later in the day.
02:35The US president also stressed that the suspension was subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.
02:41Throughout the weekend and into early Monday, Iran's neighbors, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait,
02:48continued to intercept incoming ballistic missiles.
02:51While one missile struck an inhabited area near Riyadh, Israel launched what it called
02:56wide-scale wave of strikes against Tehran.
02:59In Israel, during his visit to southern communities, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described it as a miracle
03:05that no lives were lost after an Iranian missile hit a secretive nuclear research site late Saturday.
03:11Speaking to a Farsi-language satellite network, US Navy Admiral Brad Cooper confirmed that missile and drone manufacturing sites
03:18are being targeted to eliminate future threats.
03:21He suggested the Iranian public wait for a clear signal from the US president before taking to the streets
03:27as projectiles continue to be launched from populated areas.
03:31The war launched by the US and Israel on February 28 has now claimed over 2,000 lives.
03:41The head of the International Energy Agency said Monday that the global economy faces a major, major threat
03:48because of the Iran war.
03:51Fatih Birol told Australia's National Press Club in Canberra that the war in the Middle East
03:56has severely damaged more than 40 energy assets across nine countries as he warned of deepening risks to the global
04:04economy.
04:05I think no country will be immune to the effects of this crisis if it continues to go in this
04:17direction.
04:18So there is a need for global efforts around the world.
04:21He said the crisis in the Middle East has had a worse combined impact than the two oil shocks of
04:28the 1970s
04:29and the effect on gas markets of the Russia-Ukraine war.
04:33Oil prices continued to climb as the end of the Iran war was not in sight.
04:38The official added that he was consulting with governments in Europe and Asia
04:43about the prospect of releasing further stockpiled oil.
04:51Slovenia's ruling Liberals and opposition right-wing populists were nearly tied
04:56according to final preliminary results in Sunday's fiercely contested parliamentary election.
05:01With nearly all votes counted, the state election commission announced the center-left freedom movement,
05:07led by incumbent Prime Minister Robert Golub, received 28.5 percent,
05:13slightly ahead of the right-wing Slovenian Democratic Party,
05:17led by former Premier Janice Janta, a supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, who received 28.1 percent.
05:24The results signaled a time of political uncertainty in the central European nation,
05:30as none of the main parties will have a majority in the 90-member parliament.
05:35Speaking after the results were released, Prime Minister Golub claimed victory and expressed confidence
05:41his party would form the next government.
05:53Sunday's vote was seen as a key test, whether Slovenia will stay on its liberal course or sway toward the
05:59right.
06:00But the nearly equal results clearly reflect deep divisions,
06:04and whoever forms a future government will have to depend on smaller parties that will act as kinkmakers.
06:13France's municipal elections have delivered one clear message tonight,
06:17and it's that the left is holding on to the major cities in France,
06:22including the capital, Paris, where I'm currently standing.
06:26And behind me, left-wing supporters have just finished celebrating the victory of socialist mayor Emmanuel Grégoire.
06:33In the second-largest city of France, Marseille, socialist Benoit Payon was also re-elected.
06:40But the left remains divided.
06:42The hard-left France Unbowed Party also made quite some significant gains this Sunday,
06:48even though they were excluded from alliances, especially by the socialists during the campaign,
06:54who accused France Unbowed of anti-Semitism.
06:58The far-right failed to win some of the major cities that it was targeting,
07:03including Marseille and the southern city of Toulon.
07:06But in Nice, Éric Ciotti, an ally of the far-right national rally, ended up winning.
07:13President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance Party also made some major gains,
07:19including the southwestern city of Bordeaux.
07:22But this Sunday is more than just about local politics.
07:26It is also an early sign of how the Battle of France's 2027 presidential election is beginning to take shape.
07:39Former French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin has died at the age of 88, his family confirmed on London.
07:45A titan of the Socialist Party, Jospin served as head of government from 1997 to 2002
07:51during a period of cohabitation with center-right president Jacques Chirac.
07:56His premiership was defined by landmark social reforms that reshaped French society,
08:00most notably the reduction of the working week to 35 hours and the introduction of universal health coverage.
08:06Jospin also pioneered civil unions, granting legal rights to same-sex partnerships
08:11long before the legislation of marriage equality in France.
08:15Guided by the philosophy of yes to the market economy, no to a market society,
08:20he sought a middle ground between capitalism and socialism.
08:24His political career came to an abrupt end in 2002,
08:27following a shock first-round defeat to far-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen in the presidential election.
08:34Following his retirement from frontline politics,
08:36Jospin served on France's Constitutional Council until 2019.
08:45British police are investigating an apparent hate crime after four ambulances belonging to a Jewish charity in London
08:52were set on fire, authorities said.
08:55Officers were called to Golders Green, a London neighborhood with a large Jewish community,
09:00after receiving reports of a fire.
09:03Multiple gas cylinders on the vehicles exploded,
09:06causing windows to break in an adjacent apartment block.
09:09Nearby homes were evacuated as a precautionary measure and no injuries were reported.
09:14We could see smoke coming forth all over the place to find out that, unfortunately,
09:22four and a half stroke, five ambulances were destroyed by disgusting, awful, scum people
09:33who prevented people trying to get medical help.
09:39Authorities said the cause of the fire was being investigated.
09:43Meanwhile, political leaders, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer,
09:46took to social media to condemn the incident as an anti-Semitic attack.
10:27We are in one of the most important rooms of the exhibition exhibition.
10:30It's really one of the most important moments of the career of Renoir,
10:34when he paints these three couples danceants in very large formats.
10:40It's the first time in the history of art that an artist represents this subject in such a way.
10:44It's an art piece of art that is deeply filled with love,
10:50in reality, of tenderness, of desire,
10:53and where it's fully expressed the ideal love of Renoir.
11:10Renoir is not only a painter, not only a painter of the color, of the light, of the light.
11:15He is also a great painter.
11:17He has drawn all over his career, for almost 60 years.
11:21It's what we want to show you with this exhibition,
11:24which reveals both paintings, paintings, paintings, pastels, and sanguines,
11:29and shows all the depth of his talent beyond the painting.
