00:07in central Athens.
00:10The European Parliament approved a resolution calling for an EU-wide definition of rape based on the absence of freely
00:16given and informed consent.

00:26the war.
00:26It is unclear whether Washington will accept the proposal.
00:31An 89-year-old suspected gunman has been arrested after opening fire at a social security office and a courthouse
00:38in central Athens on Tuesday, wounding several people.
00:42Police said a suspect armed with a shotgun initially opened fire at the National Social Security Fund office in the
00:49center of the Greek capital, wounding an employee.
00:52Police officers who arrived at the scene treated the man, but the gunman fled the scene.
00:58The same man was suspected of later opening fire on the ground floor of the Court of Appeals building in
01:03another part of Athens.
01:05Several people were also wounded there, police said, adding that authorities had found the shotgun.
01:11He was located hours later in a hotel in Patras, 215 kilometers south of Athens.
01:18The motive for the shooting was unclear.
01:21State broadcaster ERT said the gunman had reportedly thrown envelopes with documents onto the floor after the shooting at the
01:27courthouse, saying those were the reasons for his actions.
01:36The European Parliament on Tuesday approved a resolution calling for an EU-wide definition of rape based on the absence
01:43of freely given and informed consent.
01:46The resolution urges that only a clear, affirmative, freely given and unambiguous indication of consent is valid in sexual relations.
01:56It adds that silence, a lack of verbal or physical resistance, or the absence of a no, cannot be interpreted
02:04as consent.
02:05Any sexual act outside this framework should be considered rape.
02:10Lack of consent is already a defining element of rape or sexual assault in 17 EU member states, according to
02:17the European Parliament Research Service.
02:19However, legislation in several member states still relies on a force-based definition of rape requiring victims to prove violence
02:28or threats.
02:29Supporters of the resolution argue that recent cases have exposed the limits of force-based definitions.
02:36Speaking to your news, Abir al-Salani pointed to cases in France involving drugging and online abuse as evidence of
02:44evolving forms of sexual violence.
02:46It comes because of all these scandals that have been surrounding this topic, from the case of Madame Pelicot in
02:53France to the rape, so-called rape academy, where you drug women, where the partners drug women, they raped them
03:02and they streamed it online.
03:03So the violence has evolved against women. Sexual violence in Europe has evolved.
03:08It is now up to the European Commission to propose legislation, which would then need to be approved by EU
03:15member states.
03:20French President and Co-Prince of Andorra, Emmanuel Macron, has called for the debate on decriminalizing abortion to move forward
03:29in Andorra during his visit of the micro-states.
03:32Alongside the Vatican, the principality of Andorra is the only European country to completely ban abortion, even in case of
03:40rape, incest, danger to the mother of fetal abnormality.
03:45Votre gouvernement a fait une proposition d'avancer. Elle me paraît proportionnée. Et avançant sur la dépénalisation pour les femmes,
03:55elle va sur ce chemin.
03:58De là où je suis, sans préempter vos débats à venir. Je souhaite avec affection que ce débat progresse.
04:07Women in Andorra face up to six months in prison for having abortion. Doctors who perform them face up to
04:15three years in prison and a five-year ban on practicing.
04:18In March, the head of the Andorran government, Xavier Espos Zamora, said he was hoping he could decriminalize abortion within
04:26a year, yet without legalizing it.
04:32Iran offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. lifts its naval blockade and brings an end
04:39to the war.
04:40It is unclear whether Washington will accept the proposal, which would postpone discussions on Tehran's nuclear program.
04:48Iran has proposed a mutual reopening of the Strait, leaving the nuclear discussion for later in the process.
04:54Given that the nuclear program has been a red line for this administration, would the president agree to that kind
05:01of phase negotiation?
05:03What I will reiterate is that the president's red lines with respect to Iran have been made very, very clear,
05:09not just to the American public, but also to them as well.
05:13I wouldn't say they're considering it. I would just say that there was a discussion this morning that I don't
05:17want to get ahead of, and you'll hear directly from the president, I'm sure, on this topic very soon.
05:21Despite a fragile but ongoing ceasefire, the standoff between the U.S. and Iran persists on the Strait of Hormuz.
05:28The U.S. imposed its own blockade on the waterway earlier this month, resulting in a dual blockade.
05:35Washington says it is designed to prevent Iran from selling its oil and deprive it from crucial revenue.
05:42Meanwhile, Iran says the responsibility for the disruption of the waterway lies with the U.S.
05:48Responsibility for any disruption to maritime transport lies with the aggressors, the United States and its supporters.
05:57The latest development emerged after Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Arachi, visited Russia following the cancellation of potential ceasefire talks between
06:06U.S. and Iran in Pakistan.
06:12In Gaza, a severe shortage of spare parts has paralyzed the transport sector.
06:18As part of the ceasefire terms, at least 600 aid trucks a day should be permitted to enter Gaza.
06:24However, many organizations warn the amount of aid entering the Strip are still inadequate.
06:31Amid the limited flow of goods into Gaza, spare auto parts have been among the lowest priority items.
07:03On the ground, the impact is clear.
07:05Cars remain parked, buses are out of service, and basic repairs are no longer affordable.
07:12Prices have skyrocketed, and repairs that once took hours now take days.
07:17The last few months after 7 October, there is no change.
07:20We are going to get rid of the new one.
07:22We are going to get rid of the new ones, and we try to get rid of the new ones.
07:27The price of the車 was around 2,500 vehicles.
07:32Today, we get around 17,000 vehicles.
07:35The only one thing that is not offered is the oil.
07:37The oil price of the oil today is about 1,000 vehicles.
07:49The shortage of spare parts is not only impacting civilians and owners of commercial vehicles, but also emergency response teams.
07:58Economists warn that if the situation persists, it could result in near-total paralysis of the transport and services sector,
08:05restricting people's access to hospitals, essential services and places of work.
08:13Europe's first complete lithium mine begins operating in Sivajavi in western Finland.
08:20The strategic resource is critical for manufacturing modern electronics.
08:25At a cost of around €783 million, Project Keleba was mainly funded by South African mining giant Sibani Steel Water
08:35and the European Union.
08:37Hanu Hotala, CEO of Keleba, explains the full production chain to produce battery-quality lithium.
08:44We are now extracting spodumane ore, it contains some 1 to 1.3% lithium oxide,
08:56then we transport it to the concentrator and there the lithium oxide content is increased to 5%.
09:05And further to lithium refinery and there the lithium concentrate is produced as a battery-quality lithium hydroxide.
09:18Meanwhile, locals from a nearby town say they have mixed feelings about the mine,
09:24as they recognise it is good for employment but worry about the environmental impact.
09:29The Keleba project covers more than 500 square kilometres and six other mining sites are planned in the area.
09:37Some compare the role of lithium nowadays to the role that oil played at the start of the 20th century.
09:47Today we are joined by Natalia Chelevitz, an art historian who studied in London
09:52and a curator at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
09:55We are currently sitting in one of the museum galleries in Warsaw where you can admire the latest exhibition she
10:02has curated,
10:03but she is also working with, among others, an Estonian artist and this year's Venice Biennale.
10:08Jaka jest rola w sztuki w świecie pełnym konfliktów?
10:12Wydaje mi się, że teraz jesteśmy u schyłku też takiego zjawiska, które obserwowaliśmy w ostatnich 10 latach,
10:20które po pierwsze dało poprzez przestrzeń social media, dało trochę taką iluzję udemokratycznienia dostępu
10:30zarówno do sztuki, jak i komentowania rzeczywistości w sposób polityczny,
10:35gdzie bardzo głośno argumentowaliśmy, mówiliśmy jak wygląda świat, co jest słuszne, co nie.
10:43To było oczywiście bardzo potrzebne, ale też zmieniła się rola instytucji, które być może w perspektywie wielu osób pouczały trochę
10:53z góry,
10:54zabierały taki głos ekspercki i ja bym bardzo broniła tego eksperckiego głosu instytucji, ale bez elitaryzmu.
11:02Jeżeli chodzi o rolę sztuki, instytucji, to wydaje mi się, że to jest poszukiwanie nowych języków,
11:11języków, które z jednej strony jasno nazywają pewne uniwersalne prawdy czy konflikty przemoc,
11:23a z drugiej strony nie sytuowałby się w roli, która dawałaby pozory jakiejś takiej nieskazitelnej niewinności,
11:32ponieważ wszyscy jako jednostki, instytucje, organizacje jesteśmy częścią tego bardzo złożonego
11:40i coraz bardziej skomplikowanego świata.
