00:00Strikes continued to rain down on Iran even as U.S. President Donald Trump repeated claims that a deal could
00:07be reached soon to end the war.
00:10U.S. President Donald Trump said he would have no problem with a Russian oil tanker delivering relief to Cuba,
00:16which has been heavily affected by a U.S. oil blockade.
00:20European markets opened lower on Monday as investor sentiment remained cautious amid rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions in the
00:29Middle East.
00:32Strikes continued to rain down on Iran overnight even as U.S. President Donald Trump repeated claims that a deal
00:39could be reached soon to end the war.
00:42Iran's energy ministry reported power outages in the capital Tehran and surrounding areas following attacks on electricity industry facilities.
00:52Kuwait said one worker was killed after a retaliatory strike hit a power station and water desalination site.
00:59And Saudi Arabia said its forces detected and intercepted five ballistic missiles.
01:05And we will probably, I think we'll make a deal with them, pretty sure.
01:11Whether it's possible, we won't.
01:13But we've had regime change, if you look, already because the one regime was decimated, destroyed, they're all dead.
01:21The next regime is mostly dead.
01:25And the third regime, we're dealing with different people than anybody's dealt with before.
01:29It's a whole different group of people.
01:31So I would consider that regime change.
01:35The Speaker of Iran's Parliament accused Washington of using diplomacy as a smokescreen as it warned against a possible ground
01:43invasion.
01:44Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans on Sunday to expand his country's ground invasion of southern Lebanon.
01:54Across the region, the death toll continues to rise as the war grinds on into its second month.
02:01Despite making diplomatic overtures, the United States has also been sending more military assets into the region.
02:09According to the Washington Post, the Pentagon was preparing plans for weeks of ground operations,
02:14potentially including raids on sites near the Strait of Hormuz, though Trump has not yet approved any deployment.
02:27U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would have no problem with a Russian oil tanker off the
02:33coast of Cuba
02:34delivering relief to the island, which has been heavily affected by a U.S. oil blockade.
02:41He appeared to confirm reports that a sanctioned Russian oil tanker was just off the eastern tip of the island
02:48and expected to arrive there by Tuesday.
02:50Well, we have a tanker out there. We don't mind having somebody get a boatload because they need, they have
02:56to survive.
02:57It wouldn't bother me.
02:57That report is true as far as you know.
02:59Well, I would say, I told him, if a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I
03:05have no problem with it.
03:06Do you worry about Russia?
03:07Whether it's Russia or no.
03:09Experts say the anticipated shipment could produce about 180,000 barrels of diesel,
03:15enough to feed Cuba's daily demand for nine or ten days.
03:19The U.S. blockade has had a devastating effect on the island's civilians,
03:24who suffer from long blackouts and a lack of resources that has pushed the nation to the brink of collapse.
03:30A growing number of countries and aid organizations, as well as the civilian flotilla,
03:36have stepped up efforts to bring aid to the island as the UN warns of a deepening humanitarian crisis.
03:45European markets are off to a slow start of Monday,
03:48with futures pointing to declines across major indices,
03:51as investor sentiment remains cautious amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
03:57It comes as U.S. President Donald Trump raised the possibility of U.S. forces seizing Iran's Karg Island,
04:04the country's main oil terminal, and as concerns grow that Tehran's proxies may again try to block Red Sea shipping
04:12routes.
04:13As of early morning trading, Germany's DAX was down around 0.5%,
04:19the FTSE 100 fell roughly 0.3%,
04:22and France's CAC 40 was also in the negative territory, according to IG data.
04:30The weaker outlook follows losses in Asia, where shares mostly dipped overnight,
04:35as concerns persisted around soaring oil prices and the potential for further escalation in the U.S. war with Iran.
04:43Steep losses on Wall Street on Friday marked the fifth consecutive losing week,
04:48the longest such streak in nearly four years.
04:50Investor worries have been particularly acute due to the risk of disrupted access to the Strait of Hormuz,
04:57a critical route for global oil shipments.
05:00The possibility of further disruption to global oil shipments escalated during the weekend,
05:05as Iran-backed Houthi militants fired missiles and drones at Israel and promised to continue their attacks.
05:16Millions of people took to the streets across the United States
05:19to participate in the more than 3,100 protests taking place against U.S. President Donald Trump.
05:25The rallies denounced what they described as an authoritarian style of governance by the incumbent administration,
05:31their immigration stance, climate change denial, isolationist foreign policy, and now, the war in Iran.
05:39In New York, thousands gathered to protest against sweeping immigration raids carried out by ICE and called for their abolition.
05:47The rallies even featured a surprise cameo from New York native and Hollywood giant Robert De Niro.
05:53Protests also took place in the capital, Washington, D.C.,
05:57where hundreds gathered near the White House demanding Trump's ouster.
06:00It's the third time in less than a year these protests,
06:04part of a U.S. grassroots movement called No Kings, take place.
06:08The demonstration spread across the pond,
06:10where thousands of Americans abroad and locals took part in rallies across Europe.
06:15In Paris, protesters called for an end to Trump's quote,
06:19reckless, irresponsible, and endless wars.
06:22And in the Italian capital,
06:24thousands marched calling for respect of international law
06:27and demanding a world free from wars.
07:00It's actually very calming and helping and concentrating on the work that we have to do,
07:05which is something that surprises me because normally I don't really listen to classical music,
07:09so that's a new experience for me.
07:18The reason why music in the background can be so soothing almost
07:23is that it creates a state of flow.
07:26And flow is this mysterious balance between your level of skills and being challenged.
07:32And you want to be in that sweet spot.
07:34You don't want to be over challenged.
07:36You don't want to be under challenged.
07:37And I think music in the background can help you to reach a state of flow.
07:43And everybody knows when you reach a state of flow,
07:45you can go on endlessly and be enormously productive.
07:52Well, no, I don't think it's difficult to multitask here
07:57because it's really a quiet environment and nice, quiet music,
08:03so that helps me to concentrate and I'm not having any difficulties multitasking.
08:43It was a picture that was hit by Sotheby's
08:47and we were able to acquire it without going to the Asta,
08:54so it was a very convenient purchase for us,
08:58but also very important for the mission
09:01to report in Italy a picture of this relief
09:06and to put it to the citizens.
09:26It was used by the proprietor to pray.
09:29When he looked at Christ and prayed in front of Christ,
09:33when he looked at San Girolamo, he kissed him.
09:36So San Girolamo was completely embraced
09:38and this way of having a direct contact with the art
09:45by kissing him and kissing him,
09:48and this created damage.
10:14We are still in touch.
10:36There is this crazy idea that horror is not for women or that women are not fans of horror.
10:42There's a whole tribe of women who are just so into it.
10:46Women practically invented the horror genre.
10:49There's some deluded idea that talking about gender and horror is somehow a contemporary phenomenon.
10:54It's like, sit down, little boys. The grown-ups are talking.
10:58We're expected to behave certain ways in real life, but in horror films, no holds barred.
11:04I've always just loved horror from a very inappropriately young age.
11:08It still gives me goose pimples.
11:09We have a lot of fears that we want to talk about.
11:12Horror is the critique of society, but you do it with zombies.
11:15I love challenging the idea of what it means to be a good mother.
11:19Women make horror movies. That's what I want to do.
