00:00The United States has announced that it will prevent all shipping from entering or exiting Iranian ports in the Strait
00:06of Hormuz for as long as it takes.
00:11Hungary's outgoing foreign minister Peter Sejato will skip next week's EU foreign affairs meeting and has largely disappeared from public
00:18view.
00:20Europe has maybe six weeks or so of jet fuel left, warned the head of the international energy agency Fatih
00:26Birol.
00:30The United States will prevent all shipping from entering or exiting Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz for as
00:36long as it takes.
00:38U.S. War Secretary Pete Hexed said the Navy is using less than 10% of its power to enforce
00:44the blockade as he complained about allies not aiding the effort.
00:48Allies have talked a lot and haven't done anything.
00:51And as the president has pointed out, this is a waterway that the American commerce doesn't use all that much.
00:57We don't rely on the energy coming out of the Strait of Hormuz, but Asia does and Europe does.
01:03President Donald Trump also posted on social media and warned that any Iranian ships attempting to break it will be
01:09eliminated.
01:10If they had a nuclear weapon...
01:11The blockade began on Monday after U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance left peace negotiations in Islamabad without a
01:18deal.
01:18The blockade will apply to all vessel traffic regardless of nationality.
01:24Traffic through the strategic waterway has been almost completely blocked since the war started on February 28th.
01:31This has sent energy prices spiking around the world.
01:34The International Energy Agency warns that Europe only has about six weeks of jet fuel left if supplies remain blocked.
01:45On the second leg of his African tour, Pope Leo on Thursday traveled to the Western Cameroonian city of Bamenda,
01:52preaching a message of peace to a region that's been at the epicenter of a separatist conflict
01:57that humanitarian groups have called one of the world's most neglected crises.
02:03Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers, but woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God
02:13for their own military, economic, or political gain.
02:16Pope Leo's message follows his speech given on Wednesday upon his arrival in the Central African country
02:23where he urged the poor Bia government to root out corruption.
02:26President Bia, who at 93 is the world's oldest leader, sat passively as Pope Leo read his speech in French
02:34at the Presidential Palace in Yaoundé.
02:36For the peace and justice to affirm, it is necessary to break the chains of corruption
02:44that defigure the authority in the evidence of its credibility.
02:51It is necessary to liberate the heart of this fear of Ghan, which is an idolatry.
02:58Our real gain is the development of an integral human development,
03:03that is, the equilibrated growth of all aspects that make life on this land a benediction.
03:12Being the first pope to visit Cameroon since 2009, many cheering Cameroonians gave Pope Leo a raucous welcome,
03:20lining the road into the capital Yaoundé from the airport, dancing and waving palm fronts as the pope's motorcade wheezed
03:27by.
03:27Ahead of the visits, the Vatican had said fighting corruption in Cameroon would be one of the themes of Leo's
03:33visit,
03:34and the pope did not hold back.
03:41Hungary's outgoing foreign minister, Peter Siharto, will skip next week's foreign affairs meeting in Luxembourg
03:47following the defeat of Viktor Orban's government, EU diplomats told your news.
03:52His office did not respond to a request for comment.
03:56Following Sunday's elections resulting in a landslide with TISA, Siharto has largely disappeared from public view,
04:03including social media where he used to be very active.
04:07On Monday, Hungary's prime minister-elect, Peter Magyar,
04:11accused Siharto of shredding sensitive documents related to Russia sanctions at the foreign ministry.
04:17Magyar and his foreign affairs advisor urged ministry staff to preserve all relevant files.
04:22The ministry rejected the claims on Wednesday, saying only paper copies of electronic files had been destroyed and no data
04:30was lost.
04:31Siharto was at the center of controversy during the campaign over his close ties to Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov.
04:38Leaked phone calls suggested that he had offered to help remove Russian businessmen from the EU sanctions list
04:45and had contacted Russian counterparts during a key European summit in 2023 when Ukraine's accession talks were under discussion.
04:58By Thursday, all ballot boxes containing votes cast abroad had arrived in Hungary.
05:03Hungarian voters cast their ballots in 149 cities around the world.
05:09Ballot boxes arrived continuously throughout the week.
05:12The National Election Office thoroughly inspected each one of them to ensure that neither the seals nor the boxes themselves
05:19had been tampered with.
05:21Only then could the opening of the ballot boxes and the sorting of the ballots begin.
05:26There are closed positions.
05:29If you agree with this, you will put your hand on your hand.
05:35According to the National Election Office, the turnout exceeded 90% at numerous overseas missions and was 100% at
05:44several smaller ones.
05:45At the overseas polling station with the highest turnout in London, 8,924 voters cast their ballots.
05:52The National Election Office will announce the nationwide results of the parliamentary election no later than on the 4th of
05:59May.
06:09Europe could face a shortage of jet fuel in the coming weeks, said the head of the International Energy Agency
06:16Fatih Birol on Thursday,
06:18warning of the possible flight consolation soon if oil supplies remain blocked by the Iran wall.
06:26We are in Europe, we have maybe six weeks or so of jet fuel left.
06:34If we are not able to open the Strait of Hormus, if the refining as a result will start to
06:41work,
06:41I can tell you soon we will hear the news that some of the flights from City A to City
06:51B might be cancelled as a result of lack of jet fuel.
06:56Last week, the Airport Council International Europe wrote to the European Commission saying shortages of jet fuel could begin at
07:04the beginning of May if tankers do not begin sailing through the Hormuz.
07:08The situation varies considerably across the continent.
07:12Austria, Bulgaria and Poland have comfortable stocks.
07:16For Britain, Iceland and the Netherlands, it is the opposite.
07:19France is somewhere in the middle, and the impact won't be the same for all airports and airlines.
07:27Airlines for Europe, a trade association that includes Air France, KLM, Lufthansa and Ryanair, has been urging the European Union
07:34to begin providing real-time information on jet fuel stocks at airports.
07:45Polish finance minister Andrzej Domanski has recently advised Poles to keep cash at home in case of digital failures.
07:53We asked Warsaw residents how they feel about this and whether they keep a cash reserve for emergencies.
08:00Uważam, że bardzo dobry pomysł.
08:02No, nie może być całkowicie zależnym tylko i wyłącznie od bankomatu.
08:06No to warto trochę mieć.
08:08Zawsze mam z sobą, trochę tam do tysięcy złotych mam, żeby w razie czego, bo jak podrożuję na przykład i
08:16nie ma innej łopcy, część stoi tylko gotówką.
08:20Uważam, że tak, że musimy mieć i kartę i pieniążki. Dlatego, że proszę sobie wyobrazić, jesteśmy w jakiejś miejscowości, ktoś
08:29nam kradnie kartę albo gubimy.
08:32No jesteśmy pod presją, prawda, że nie mamy czym zapłacić, nawet powrotu kupienia biletu.
08:39Ja mam takie myślenie, co, no, gotówka to pierwsze, a po drugie to jest karta i coś tam na rachunkach.
08:48Bo tak dla zwykłe osoby, no, wszystko może być. Wojna, kryzysy w świecie, tak, no i bez gotówki, no to
08:57tragedia.
08:58Meanwhile, the European Union is rolling out the idea of a digital euro, which could help reduce dependence on American
09:05payment processes.
09:06Nie jesteśmy w strefie euro, ale euro to jest taka pewna gotówka. No, nie wiem, jak banki z tym dadzą
09:15radę, to znaczy, jak to rozwiążą.
09:17Myślę, że ta cyfra na tyle postępuje, że dobrze, jakbyśmy się jakoś uniezależnili od tych dużych koncernów.
09:25Zobaczki, na tym, jak z tym, powrotem, z tym, jak z tym, jak z tym, wciąż od rachunkach i dzielnie
09:30do tych, którzy nie do tego, jak z tym, wciąż od rachunkach,
09:43humpback whale lying in shallow water near the eastern German town of Wiesmar on the Baltic Sea.
09:49The animal, which has been nicknamed Timmy, is sick and has barely moved for days.
09:54Many worry the animal may die soon. It is unclear why it swam into the Baltic Sea in the first
10:00place, which is so far away from its natural habitat. Some experts believe the animal might
10:05have lost its way while swimming after a shoal of herring or during migration.
10:10To get back to its natural habitat, the whale would have to travel back into the North Sea
10:15and then to the Atlantic Ocean. Previous rescue attempts temporarily freed the whale,
10:21but the animal never found its way back to the North Sea.
10:30FIFA President Gianni Infantino has reassured that Iran will participate in the 2026 World Cup,
10:36despite the war in the Middle East.
10:38Actually, the Iranian team is coming for sure, yes.
10:40Yes.
10:41No changes?
10:42We hope that by then, of course, the situation will be a peaceful situation.
10:47He stressed that sports should be outside of politics and also rejected any change of venue.
10:53Iran is scheduled to play its Group G matches in the United States.
10:56The team had asked to move the matches to Mexico following comments by US President Donald Trump
11:02discouraging their participation due to safety concerns. The tournament has created a deep
11:07rift among fans, with some refusing to watch while others deliberating protests. Players also
11:13face significant political pressure. Iran's participation had been thrown into doubt by the
11:18conflict launched by the United States and Israel in February. Although a fragile truce began in April,
11:24tensions remain high with the US blockade on Iranian ports. Iran with a nuclear weapon.
