00:02An armed man stormed the lobby of a hotel where the annual correspondence dinner was being held, which was attended
00:08by U.S. President Donald Trump.
00:12The President, First Lady Melania Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance were all rushed off stage after gunshots were
00:19heard.
00:19In videos circulating online, dinner attendees can be seen ducking under tables.
00:25Speaking at a press conference after the incident, Trump compared himself to Abraham Lincoln when he was asked by a
00:31journalist why he's frequently the target of assassination attempts.
00:35The people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones that they go after.
00:41They don't go after the ones that don't do much because they like it that way.
00:45And when you look at the people that have either, whether it was an attempt or a successful attempt, they're
00:54very impactful people.
00:55Trump released video footage from the hotel's security cameras on his Truth Social account in the images a perpetrator can
01:02be seen running past security.
01:04The footage raised questions about security precautions and how the man was able to come so close to the ballroom.
01:11Trump also released an image of the suspect who was identified as Cole Thomas Allen, a 31-year-old man
01:18from California.
01:19He reportedly had been a guest at the hotel where the dinner was held.
01:24Stay down, stay down, stay down.
01:26Police believe he acted alone but did not elaborate on his intended target or motive.
01:36A drone crashed into a populated area in Romania near its border with Ukraine early on Saturday.
01:44The incident occurred during a larger scale aerial attack by Russian drones and missiles on Ukraine.
01:59The drone landed on the southern eastern city of Galati and resulted in 200 people being evacuated as two British
02:08fighter jets stationed in a nearby military base immediately scrambled.
02:13It is not the first time that the EU and NATO member state has seen its airspace violated and drone
02:20fragments fall on its territory since Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
02:26Romanian President Nikosu Dan said that this was the first time that Romanian property has been damaged, though no casualties
02:34were reported.
02:35The country's foreign minister has summoned the Russian ambassador over the incident.
02:45Chernobyl remains too dangerous for humans, but the wildlife has moved back in.
02:50On the 26th of April 1986, an explosion at the nuclear power plant in Ukraine has sent radiation across Europe
02:59and forced the evacuation of entire towns.
03:02Four decades on, wolves and brown bears have returned to the vast no man's land.
03:16Several dozen of Przewalski's horses native to Mongolia and once on the brink of extinction were introduced here in 1998
03:24as an experiment.
03:26Around 130 of them now roam free.
03:30It's amazing because it's the last big fish on our planet.
03:35When you see a bird who was the ruler of the sea in the EU, it's really interesting.
03:41And as a scientist, it's ecstatically.
03:44Despite persistent radiation, scientists have not recorded widespread die-offs.
03:49But some frogs have developed darker skin, and birds in higher radiation areas are more likely to develop cataracts.
04:00Infectious chatting on there.
