00:00U.S. President Donald Trump insists negotiations to end the war with Iran are ongoing,
00:06even after Tehran had repeatedly rejected his claims and dismissed a 15-point proposal
00:12outlining U.S. demands, countering it with a list of their own demands.
00:16Trump had earlier warned Iran of significant escalations in intensity if it fails to enter
00:22a deal with the U.S., as he reiterated Washington's ability to prolong the fighting until its goals
00:28are achieved. Speaking at a fundraising dinner for his Republican Party, Trump said Iran's
00:34denial of ongoing talks is out of fear of being killed by their own people.
01:02Meanwhile, U.S. attacks have continued to strike targets across Iran, including in Isfahan,
01:08home to military bases in the infamous nuclear site, where residents reported major explosions.
01:15Israeli attacks are also continuing in Lebanon, where the IDF says it's continuing to dismantle
01:21networks of Iran's proxy, Hezbollah.
01:25We're seeing this security system in order to show the threat of our troops and our border.
01:34We simply create a bigger area of the area.
01:37Now, the point of the Hezbollah's point is standing against us.
01:42This thing is also related to the administration, including Iran, which is still in control,
01:46in terms of what is happening in the relationship.
01:48Meanwhile, Iran is continuing to fire its retaliatory barrages at Israel and neighboring
01:55Gulf Arab states hosting U.S. bases. The death tolls across the various fronts have now risen
02:01to over 1,500 in Iran, 1,100 in Lebanon, 20 in Israel, and 13 U.S. troops. Oil prices
02:09remain
02:10stubbornly high as the crucial Strait of Hormuz continues to be closed, with Brent crude,
02:15the international standard, trading at around $104 a barrel on Thursday morning.
02:24German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has ruled out any military involvement in the Iran war
02:28while hostilities continue, but suggested the Bundeswehr could help secure the Strait of Hormuz
02:33once a ceasefire is reached.
02:35Speaking in Canberra on Thursday, Pistorius emphasized that Germany does not want to be
02:40drawn into the conflict, though it's prepared in principle to join an international mission
02:44to protect the vital trade route after a peace agreement.
02:47Pistorius has also described the Iran war as an economic catastrophe, which is why he
02:52stressed a ceasefire is urgently needed.
02:54The visit to Australia marks a significant expansion of defense ties between Berlin and
02:58Canberra.
02:59The two nations have agreed to simplify troop deployments and collaborate on a new space-based
03:04early warning system designed to detect threats to global satellite networks from powers
03:09such as Russia and China.
03:11Australia also plans to integrate German-made missiles into its own production lines as
03:15global military resources are stretched by the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the
03:20Middle East.
03:21Pistorius stated the move is a part of a broader strategy to diversify security partnerships
03:26and reduce one-sided dependencies as Germany continues to increase its military presence across
03:31the Indo-Pacific.

03:36Russia continues to wage its role in Ukraine, launching 153 drones in overnight attacks on
03:43the country as six regions face power cuts following strikes.
03:47Five people were injured on Thursday morning after a Russian attack on an apartment block in
03:53Dnipro, according to regional officials.
03:55Power outages are affecting six regions, including Odessa, Sumy, Chernihiv and Kharkiv, following
04:03strikes on energy infrastructure, Ukraine's Minister of Energy reported.

04:14targets and downed debris fell in five locations.
04:18Meanwhile, at least 20 people were injured on Wednesday, including seven in the Kharkiv region.
04:24Oly, a Kharkiv region resident, described the attack.
04:30I looked at the camera, my camera is standing, and I saw that my car is burning.
04:36But then when I came out, the car is completely burning, and that's all happened.
04:43But there was a very strong explosion, and the house was burning completely.
04:51The easing of U.S. sanctions on Russian oil earlier this month is further enabling Russia
04:57to finance its military campaign in Ukraine.
05:05Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un held talks
05:11in North Korea's capital on Thursday and signed a friendship and cooperation treaty.
05:16Lukashenko, who was in Pyongyang for the first time on a two-day official visit,
05:21hailed the document as fundamental, and said that relations between the two countries are entering
05:26a new stage, according to his press service.
05:29It also quoted Kim expressing solidarity and full support for Belarus,
05:34and speaking out against, quote, unlawful pressure on Belarus from the West.
05:40Belarus and North Korea are part of a push driven by Chinese President Xi Jinping and Putin
05:45to create what they call a multipolar world to challenge Western hegemony.
05:51They have both provided Moscow assistance in its Ukraine war,
05:55with Minsk serving as a launchpad for the invasion,
05:57and Moscow stationing tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
06:07Draft in a French flag and carried by 10 soldiers,
06:11Lionel Jospin's coffin was carried into the courtyard of Les Invalides in Paris.
06:16French President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to the former Socialist Prime Minister
06:22who died last Sunday.
06:23The head of state praised his work at the helm of the government between 1997 and 2002.
06:31Yonel Jospin has, during his years, modernized the economic, social and democratic life of the nation
06:40in an inevitable way.
06:44He has contributed to make France enter into this century that was opened.
06:50As Prime Minister, Jospin reduced the working week to 35 hours,
06:56extended free health care through universal health coverage,
06:59and introduced civil unions that gave unmarried couples,
07:03including same-sex partnerships, equal rights to those who married.

07:14Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has advocated for enhanced energy cooperation with Algeria
07:19during an official visit to Algiers,
07:21aiming to secure gas supplies for Italy and the wider European Union.
07:25The North African nation already provides 30% of Italy's natural gas,
07:30primarily via the Transmed subsea pipeline.
07:32To expand this, Meloni wants national energy giants Eni and Sonatrash
07:37to collaborate on shale gas extraction and new offshore exploration projects.
07:42Italy currently generates over 40% of its electricity from natural gas.
07:47The government is racing to replace lost supplies from Qatar,
07:50which halted production following repeated Iranian attacks on its major LNG sites.
07:54While exports note Algeria has some capacity to increase shipments,
07:58it cannot fully replace the shortfall from Qatar alone.
08:01However, domestic gas demand in Italy has decreased by 19% since 2021,
08:08potentially easing the immediate pressure on the national grid.
08:11Meloni warned that the ongoing war in Iran continues to disrupt global energy markets,
08:16cautioning that a prolonged conflict could have devastating economic and social consequences
08:20for vulnerable countries across Africa.
08:26A 42-year-old former French police officer,
08:30suspected of murdering two women, was arrested in Portugal.
08:34The victims were revealed by authorities as the suspect's current and ex-partners,
08:39whose bodies were found in Serra de Noguera in the northeast of the country.
08:43The former cop, Cédric Prisant, had been wanted by French authorities for several days
08:49prior to his arrest in the Iberian nation.
08:52Officials say he was detained by Portuguese National Republican Guard forces
08:56during an inspection on a major highway for forged documents and the illegal possession of a firearm.
09:03Prisant was also traveling with his two children,
09:06aged just 13 and 18 months,
09:09who were found safe and taken to foster care institutions.
09:13Following his detention,
09:15Portuguese officials were alerted of pending French warrants for his arrest
09:19over charges of kidnapping his current and former partners and the two children.
09:24Media outlets say it was Prisant's eldest son who had provided information
09:28on the burial site of the two women to Portuguese law enforcement.
09:31A delegation of the French gendarme is reportedly being deployed to Portugal
09:36to take custody of the suspect.
09:42Dame Sarah Mullally has been made the first ever female leader of the Church of England
09:47at Canterbury Cathedral at the age of 63.
09:51Mullally, a former cancer nurse who became a priest at the age of 40,
09:55celebrated the beginning of her public ministry as both the primate of the Church of England
10:01and spiritual leader of the Worldwide Anglican Communion on Wednesday.

10:19The Church ordained its first female priests in 1994
10:23and its first female bishop in 2015.
10:27Mullally's appointment could increase divisions in the Anglican Communion,
10:31whose members are deeply divided over issues such as the role of women
10:36and the treatment of LGBTQ plus people.
10:43A church in the village of Repoteau in Thessaly, central Greece,
10:46has become a tourist attraction for visitors eager to test their sense of balance.
10:50This is because due to ground subsidence,
10:52the church shifted down the mountainside
10:55and now leans at a 17 degree angle,
10:58much deeper, for example, than the leaning tower of Pisa in Italy.
11:01It is a cold...
