00:02Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said on Monday he would do the impossible in order to stop the war
00:07with Israel, as strikes continue to batter the country despite a ceasefire.
00:13Aoun's comments came as the Israeli army carried out a series of strikes in southern Lebanon,
00:18while the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah said it had struck a military target in northern Israel.
00:26Lebanon's health ministry said late on Sunday that seven people had been killed in Israeli
00:30strikes that day, including two children. While a ceasefire was announced on April 17th
00:37and was extended for 45 days last week following U.S.-led talks, it has failed to stop the violence
00:43between Israel and Hezbollah, which have continued to launch strikes as they accuse each other of
00:48violating the agreement. Israel has also continued carrying out demolitions and issuing evacuation
00:55orders in the so-called Yellow Line, a swathe of southern Lebanon that Israeli forces have invaded
01:01and occupied, although officials have claimed Israel has no territorial ambitions there.
01:07On Monday, the Lebanese health ministry said the death toll from Israeli strikes since the start
01:12of the war had reached 3,020, with 211 people, 18 and under, and 116 health care workers among those
01:20killed.
01:27Israeli forces intercepted a Gaza-bound aid flotilla off the coast of Cyprus after it departed from
01:33Turkey last week. It is the latest of numerous attempts of the flotilla to deliver aid to the
01:39Palestinian territory by sea. Gaza continues to suffer a severe shortage of food, medicine, and other
01:46essential supplies. Israel controls all entry points into Gaza, which have been under blockade since 2007.
01:55Footage from cameras on board the vessel showed activists wearing life jackets and raising their hands
02:01as a military vessel with Israeli troops approached them. Armed soldiers then boarded the boats,
02:06and the live broadcast was abruptly cut off. Unlike previous operations, which were carried out during
02:13the night, the Israeli military boarded the vessels in broad daylight this time. Earlier, Israel's foreign
02:20ministry warned that it would not tolerate any breach of the naval blockade it has imposed on the Gaza
02:25Strip. It claims the flotilla's aim was to, quote, serve Hamas. Turkey, meanwhile, condemned the operation.
02:32It says the interception of the flotilla in international waters is an act of piracy.
02:37Over 100, not to go miles away.
02:44More than 30 people were wounded after Russia launched hundreds of drones and nearly two dozen
02:50missiles across Ukraine overnight into Monday. The city of Dnipro and the surrounding central region
02:56of Ukraine bore the brunt of the attack, officials said. Damage was also reported in Ukraine's Odessa,
03:02Chernihiv and Seperyja regions. The barrage continued a recent spiral of long-range strikes that have
03:09grown in scale following a three-day ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump, but which
03:14had little impact. Russia hammered Ukraine over several days last week, flattening a Kiev apartment
03:21building where 24 people died. Meanwhile, in more than four years of war, Ukraine has built up its
03:28own long-range capabilities, unleashing one of its largest drone strikes on Russia on Sunday,
03:33killing at least four people. That has increased the pressure on Putin, whose army is struggling
03:39to make progress on the battlefield and who claimed earlier this month that the war is approaching its
03:44end. Still, there is no sign a peace deal is taking shape despite U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to
03:51end Russia's full-scale invasion.
03:57The World Urban Forum, or WUF-13, has officially opened in Baku. Over 40,000 people from 182
04:06countries attended amid stark warnings about the global housing crisis. The statistics are harsh.
04:14Three billion people living in inadequate housing around the world, and a further 300 million people
04:20are homeless. Azerbaijan President Ilham Eliev opened the forum and addressed why it's so important.
04:28The level of participation and the number of heads of state and government demonstrate that today,
04:37urban planning is really something which many leaders think about. And as I said in my remarks,
04:44the harmony between preservation of historical heritage and architectural heritage and need to modernise
04:52the cities should go hand by hand. Sven Hauser, the mayor of Kalba in Germany, discussed the challenges of urbanisation
05:01in Europe.
05:26WUF-13 is the second largest event to be hosted in Azerbaijan since COP29.
05:32And an opportunity for global urban communities to come together and find solutions for all.

05:45Iran used its appearance at the World Urban Forum in Baku this week to call for international support for post
05:52-war reconstruction.
05:55The country's deputy housing minister claims 150,000 homes were damaged since the start of the war,
06:01which began following joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. Euronews could not independently verify the
06:07overall scale of the damage due to multiple and contradictory figures. Kazemian also outlined
06:13Iran's broader urban pressures, which predate the war.
06:16I believe Iran has a 90 million people and 70 million people of the city of the city of the
06:24city of the city.
06:25The cities of the city has a large scale of the city of the city in France.
06:35Rapid rule to urban migration has depopulated many villages while placing increasing strain on urban infrastructure.
06:43Kazemian said cities face challenges links to water resources, climate change and land
06:48subsidence. Iran is also highly vulnerable to earthquakes which only adds to the housing
06:53crisis and makes rebuilding even more difficult. Hundreds of road surfaces in Western Hungary
07:03may be contaminated with asbestos. One of these areas is currently under construction
07:09in the city of Sombaté.
07:20Tamás Waysberg, a geologist, says that on its own it is just a piece of rock,
07:25but it's its form that matters.
07:39Betokozni a megfelelő falósejtek, és egy állandó gyulladásos állapotot hoz hat létre.
07:45És egy állandó gyulladásos állapot aztán idővel átalapulhat rákát.
07:51Environment Minister László Gásdos visited the area mainly inhabited by families.
07:56Három megye érintett, és nem tudjuk még, hogy hova kerültek kövek az osztrák bányákból,
08:04amiből egyébként négyet már bezártak. Míg egy ötödik működik, és onnan hoznak követ.
08:11Én úgy gondolom, hogy tárcaközi egyeztetésre kell ezt bocsájtani,
08:15és nagyon hamar mindenképpen a kormánynak döntenék el ebbe.
08:19According to the geologist, the contamination may have happened
08:23due to a lack of knowledge and a legal gap,
08:26as there are currently no preventative EU measures.
08:50Nem tudták, nem is akarták hatóságilag betilteni a Asztriában ott a bányászatot,
08:55annak az oka, hogy ilyenfajta törvény nincsen.
08:58Már több mint 300 helyszínen mutattak ki szennyezést.
09:01Három megyét egészen biztosan érint.
09:03Nem csak szombathelyen, de Kőszegen és Sopronban is szép számmal borítottak be felületeket
09:08a természetben előforduló azbesztet tartalmazó kőzúzalékkal.
09:11Például itt ennél a Kőszeg melletti horgásztónál is a parkolót.

09:45Köszönöm szépen.
09:46A Urban Art Biennale 2026 is really an international show.
09:50We have 50 artists from 17 countries from three continents.
09:54And it's really showing street art, graffiti, urban art.
09:58At its best we have the car like installations like this behind me which are sort of monumental
10:03fossil mobility which is covered from a Pompeii like dust cover.
10:10Or we have the huge roof of Amparito, the writing on the roof of the Möllerhalle, which is really the
10:18biggest work in the show.
10:58I think that it's so dusty and it's so old, but it's beautiful.
11:04You know, there's beauty in decay, and I think what I've done makes you kind of just perceive it in
11:11a bit of a different way.
11:12It's like a nice place, people walking around, there are bees, there are beautiful flowers, but yeah, we still remember
11:21the history, and that's super important.
