00:00Russian President Vladimir Putin used his Victory Day address on Red Square to denounce NATO as an aggressive force and
00:06declare Russia's war goals just.
00:08Speaking to a tightly secure crowd, Putin claimed his troops were confronting the entire Western bloc, yet insisted that victory
00:15remained certain.
00:17However, the usual display of military might was notably absent.
00:21In a ceremony that lasted just 45 minutes, less than half its usual duration, the parade featured no tanks or
00:28heavy missiles for the first time in decades.
00:31Authorities enforced strict security measures, including mobile internet blackouts across the capital as the streets surrounding the Kremlin remained largely
00:40empty.
00:41The event took place under a fragile three-day ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump.
00:45President Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine would observe the troops to facilitate a major prisoner swap involving a thousand detainees from
00:53each side.
00:53While the parade included North Korean troops for the first time, foreign attendance was thin, with most observers limited to
01:01Russia's closest allies.
01:02The Kremlin had warned of a massive strike on central Kiev if the celebrations were disrupted, but both sides reported
01:09a significant lull in overnight attacks.
01:12As the conflict enters its fifth year, this U.S.-mediated pause marks a rare break in what has become the
01:18deadliest war in Europe since the very victory being commemorated today.
01:22U.S. President Donald Trump insists the fragile month-long ceasefire with Iran is continuing to hold, even amid recent
01:34exchanges of fire between both countries' navies.
01:37On Friday, the U.S. Central Command said it fired at two Iranian tankers attempting to breach their naval blockade
01:44of Iranian ports, disabling them.
01:47Earlier in the week, the U.S. military also fired at another oil tanker, bringing the total of ships it
01:53has redirected to and from Iranian ports to more than 50.
01:57Trump says the White House is still awaiting Iran's response to Washington's latest ceasefire proposal, but urged Tehran to accept
02:04the deal, or face full-scale U.S. bombing once more.
02:08Multiple countries, including Russia, Egypt, Qatar, and Pakistan, have urged both sides to allow diplomacy to prevail and bring about
02:16a conclusive end to the hostilities.
02:18Iran has, however, reiterated that it will not be pressured into a deal under the threat of violence and expressed
02:24its readiness to resume the war, as it questioned the sincerity of the U.S.'s diplomatic efforts.
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, Peter Majar has asked Laszlo Gaidos, future minister of
02:50environment, in the Titsa government, to take action.
02:52Due to the April drought, Gaidos has urged everyone who can to refrain from mowing their lawns, at least through
02:59May, explaining that frequent mowing requires much more water.
03:02The deputy spokesperson for the National Water Authority says that based on rainfall over the past five years, they are
03:08effectively missing a full year's worth of precipitation.
03:11According to Attila Segi, to better distribute existing water resources, infrastructure must be made more flexible, and public engagement is
03:18also crucial.
03:19The water shortage is the water shortage of water.
03:35It's a Sebeskörös és a Beretyó vízkészletére alapozva állami művekkel juttatjuk ki a vizet,
03:43a civilek pedig jelentős segítséget nyújtanak például a csatornákon, betétpallózásokban, vízkormányzásban,
03:50illetve nyilván kollégáinkkal egyeztetve, ahol lehet ki is vizetik a vizet a tájba.
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 water scarcity has long been a topic discussion
04:05among 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 cm lower than optimal.
