00:01King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived at the White House on Monday as part of a four-day trip
00:07to the United States.
00:10The state visit coincides with the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence,
00:16but it also comes as the relationship between the U.S. and the U.K. faces significant strain.
00:22Upon their arrival, the royal pair were greeted by U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
00:28The week's schedule includes a state dinner, attending a 250th birthday block party in Virginia,
00:35and a visit to the September 11 memorial in New York.
00:38A key moment will also be the King's speech to U.S. Congress.
00:42It will be the second time that a U.K. monarch addresses a joint meeting of both houses.
00:48While Trump has expressed great respect for King Charles, the visit comes amid tensions in the U.S.-U.K. relationship.
00:55Trump has repeatedly bashed U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer over issues including the Iran war.
01:02Also looming over King Charles' visit is the shadow of his younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor,
01:09regarding his ties with Jeffrey Epstein.
01:15A court has charged the suspect in the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner
01:20with the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump on Monday.
01:24The 31-year-old Cole Allen did not enter a plea at the hearing
01:28and faces a sentence of up to life in prison if convicted of trying to kill the President.
01:34Authorities revealed earlier that Allen had written a manifesto prior to his attack
01:38where he detailed his hatred for the Trump administration.
01:41The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read.
01:45I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.
01:51What's your reaction to that?
01:52Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're horrible people.
01:57Horrible people.
01:58Yeah, he did write that.
02:00I'm not a rapist.
02:01I didn't rape anybody.
02:04I'm not a pedophile.
02:04Do you think he was referring to you?
02:06Excuse me.
02:07I'm not a pedophile.
02:08You read that crap from some sick person.
02:11The White House blamed Democrats for fueling hatred against Trump, resulting in political violence.
02:17This political violence stems from a systemic demonization of him and his supporters by commentators,
02:24yes, by elected members of the Democrat Party and even some in the media.
02:29Saturday was supposed to be a joyful evening celebrating free speech in the First Amendment
02:34with all of you, members of the press.
02:37Instead, the night was hijacked by a crazed anti-Trump individual who traveled across the country
02:43to assassinate the president and as many administration officials as possible.
02:49Authorities say the suspect was tackled before inflicting any serious harm on the attendants.
02:54Only one person, an officer wearing a bulletproof vest, was shot and not badly injured.
03:01Allen is believed to have traveled from California to Chicago and then to Washington
03:05and checked himself as a guest at the Hilton Hotel where the gala dinner was being held.
03:10Authorities say in several messages he referred to himself as, quote,
03:15the friendly federal assassin and made multiple references to Trump without naming him.
03:24A pair of US lawmakers has urged the European Commission to stand firm against mounting pressure
03:31to dilute the European Union's anti-deforestation law just days before the EU executive is due to review it,
03:38potentially revising the list of products covered.
03:41The two Democratic representatives called on the Commission to uphold both the substance and the timeline
03:47of the EU's deforestation regulation, which requires suppliers of palm oil, timber, leather, coffee, beef,
03:54and other commodities to demonstrate that their production has not led to deforestation.
04:00Failure to comply would prevent producers from selling their goods on EU markets.
04:05Originally due to take effect on December 2024, the bloc's anti-deforestation law has been delayed twice.
04:12The US lawmakers framed their plea as a test of global resolve against climate change.
04:19The Environment Commissioner Jessica Roswell said that the simplification review
04:23is aimed at implementing the bloc's anti-deforestation law in the most efficient way.
04:31Exactly one year ago, this was the scene.
04:34Portugal and Spain were hit by a blackout that left millions of people without electricity for over 12 hours.
04:41The blackout is believed to have originated in southern Spain,
04:44with technical failures causing power surges in the Portuguese grid.
04:49Since that day, recommendations have increased for people to have an emergency kit for at least 72 hours.
04:55But would they be prepared if there were another blackout?
04:58I am a secretary, so I had a quinto ready, I had a radio.
05:03I had a radio.
05:04I had everything except the radio, the radio, the rest, lanterns,
05:12conservas, money at home, this I always had a radio.
05:15I had a radio with pilhas, I had always pilhas at home, water,
05:21and, in addition to that, I prepared myself for a possible storm of earth.
05:27I have a backpack with several things, a cover, a hammer.
05:33If I was to buy paper hygienic, glasses of water below seven dispensers,
05:37it seemed like the world was going to end.
05:39In Spain, the blackout from a year ago already seemed like a very distant event.
05:44The truth is that I didn't think about it.
05:46It has affected me at all.
05:47Do you have an emergency kit or more food or effective at home,
05:53if it happens again?
05:54In reality, at the beginning we did it.
05:57But as we all ended up relaxing.
06:01Drinking water, non-perishable food, a first aid kit, a flashlight,
06:05a battery powered radio and a portable charger for the cell phone,
06:09these are some of the essentials.
06:11No one wants to relieve the back out.
06:13Still, some admit that the episode brought new concerns
06:16and also some changes in habits.
06:19At the moment we are more prepared.
06:21Nothing like a watch, like a lantern and reading a book.
06:24Or hearing music on the radio as it was before.
06:27So, to go back to the old.
06:35A year later, the parliamentary working group created in the wake of the blackout
06:40presents its final report with proposals to strengthen the response to future power outages
06:45and make the country better prepared for crisis.
06:50Thirty years after the first major presentation of the Kostakis collection in Greece,
06:55the National Gallery in collaboration with Momus presents the anniversary of the Russian Avant-Garde movement.
07:01The new exhibition at the National Gallery includes 280 works from the Kostakis collection.
07:07It reexamines the collection through the lines of the relationship between humans and their environment,
07:11a theme that in early 20th century Russia became a crucial field of artistic exploration.
07:16The exhibition of the ancient
07:46Kostakis was born in Moscow and worked as a driver at the Greek embassy until 1940.
07:50He became fascinated by Russian avant-garde works and began rescuing them from neglect and
07:55destruction after they were burned by the Vezim.
07:58The Greek state completed the purchase of 1.277 works from his collection in March 2000,
08:04transferring them to the newly established State Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki.
08:08After the acquisition, Kostakis' family donated his archive to the museum consisting of over
08:132.000 valuable items, including manuscripts, publications, photographs, posters, artists' notebooks and drawings.
08:19The purchase of Kostakis was the largest political exchange that ever made from the Greek state.
08:27The two museums were created in Athens and Thessaloniki, but we also achieved this most important thing,
08:34a collection that is international, unique, unique, unique, very important,
08:42unique in the international history of art and art.
08:45And this is a collection that has the greatest activity of all the other collections that exist in the Greek
08:53museums.
08:53The exhibition runs at the National Gallery of Aleksandros Utsos Museum until September 27th.
08:59It features works by numerous artists of the Russian avant-garde, including Kazimir Malevich,
09:04Vasily Kadinsky, Aleksandr Rutsenko, Olga Rozhanova and many others.
09:17Thank you very much.
09:23Thank you very much.
09:36Thank you very much.
09:37Thank you very much.
09:57Thank you very much.
10:20We have cannons, big cannons, and cannonballs, and all the stuff related to war, but we also
10:26have a lot of shoes.
10:30Everyone is wearing shoes, so it gets a little bit personal, you get closer to the people
10:36on board. And there are bottles, there are ceramics and even pieces of basketry.
11:08Thank you very much.
