00:00U.S. President Donald Trump insists the fragile month-long ceasefire with Iran is continuing to hold,
00:07even amid recent exchanges of fire between both countries' navies.
00:11On Friday, the U.S. Central Command said it fired at two Iranian tankers attempting to breach their naval blockade
00:18of Iranian ports, disabling them.
00:20Earlier in the week, the U.S. military also fired at another oil tanker,
00:25bringing the total of ships it has redirected to and from Iranian ports to more than 50.
00:31Trump says the White House is still awaiting Iran's response to Washington's latest ceasefire proposal,
00:36but urged Tehran to accept the deal or face full-scale U.S. bombing once more.
00:42Multiple countries, including Russia, Egypt, Qatar, and Pakistan, have urged both sides to allow diplomacy to prevail
00:48and bring about a conclusive end to the hostilities.
00:52Iran has, however, reiterated that it will not be pressured into a deal under the threat of violence
00:57and expressed its readiness to resume the war as it questioned the sincerity of the U.S.'s diplomatic efforts.
01:06Russian President Vladimir Putin used his Victory Day address on Red Square to denounce NATO as an aggressive force
01:13and declared Russia's war goals just.
01:15Speaking to a tightly secure crowd, Putin claimed his troops were confronting the entire Western bloc,
01:21yet insisted that victory remained certain.
01:24However, the usual display of military might was notably absent.
01:29In a ceremony that lasted just 45 minutes less than half its usual duration,
01:33the parade featured no tanks or heavy missiles for the first time in decades.
01:38Authorities enforced strict security measures, including mobile internet blackouts, across the capital
01:43as the streets surrounding the Kremlin remained largely empty.
01:47The event took place under a fragile three-day ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump.
01:53President Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine would observe the troops to facilitate a major prisoner swap
01:58involving a thousand detainees from each side.
02:00While the parade included North Korean troops for the first time,
02:05foreign attendance was thin, with most observers limited to Russia's closest allies.
02:09The Kremlin had warned of a massive strike on central Kiev if the celebrations were disrupted,
02:15but both sides reported a significant lull in overnight attacks.
02:19As the conflict enters its fifth year, this U.S.-mediated pause marks a rare break
02:24in what has become the deadliest war in Europe since the very victory being commemorated today.
02:33The drought situation in Hungary is becoming increasingly severe.
02:37In some places, the soil is lacking 120 milliliters of moisture.
02:40The water shortage is most alarming in the Great Plain.
02:43To alleviate the situation and develop an immediate water management plan,
02:47Peter Majar has asked Laszlo Gaidos, future Minister of Environment, in the Titsa government to take action.
02:53Due to the April drought, Gaidos has urged everyone who can to refrain from mowing their lawns,
02:58at least through May, explaining that frequent mowing requires much more water.

03:08they are effectively missing a full year's worth of precipitation.
03:11According to Attila Segi, to better distribute existing water resources,
03:15infrastructure must be made more flexible, and public engagement is also crucial.
03:19It's a very important thing to do.
03:32It's a very important thing to do.
03:34It's a very important thing to do.
03:55The levels of Hungary's rivers, lakes, and even groundwater are critically low.
03:59The mayor of a town on the shore of Lake Valens says
04:02while water scarcity has long been a topic discussion among local leaders.
04:07If water is diverted from the Danube, it's only a temporary solution.
04:12In the long term, only a new pipeline system would resolve the lake situation.
04:43The current water level is about 67.
04:4670 centimeters lower than optimal.
