00:19Pope Leo XIV arrived in the southern Italian town of Acera on Saturday to offer comfort
00:25to a region scarred by decades of environmental crime.
00:28Arriving on a pastoral visit to the notorious Terra dei Fauci, or Land of Fires, the pontiff
00:35met relatives of those who lost their lives to toxic waste pollution.
00:39Inside Acera Cathedral, the Pope delivered a searing denunciation of the criminal activity
00:44and the systemic indifference that allowed illegal dumping to flourish.
00:49He urged society to break the entire chain of corruption and warned against the dangers
00:54of resignation, calling for a profound cultural shift.
00:57Moving outside to address thousands of faithful and 90 regional mayors gathered in Piazza
01:02Calipari, the Pope contrasted the region's ancient fertility with its current ecological
01:08devastation.
01:09He concluded his address with a prayer for civic redemption, calling on local leaders to transform
01:15the destructive blazes of toxic waste into a renewal of care and love for the land.
01:24The risk from the deadly Ebola outbreak has been raised to the highest level for the Democratic
01:29Republic of Congo, the World Health Organization announced as the toll continued to rise.
01:34There are now 82 confirmed cases and 7 confirmed deaths in the DRC, with almost 750 suspected cases
01:42and 177 suspected deaths, the WHO said.
01:46The potential of this virus spreading rapidly is high, very high, and that changed the whole
01:55dynamic.
01:56Linked to that is the capacity to respond to this outbreak, insufficient control.
02:12The outbreak has been caused by the rare Bundibujovirus, which has no proven vaccine. It is one of the
02:19most deadly viral diseases with fatality rates of up to 90 percent. It has also spread into neighboring
02:25Uganda, where three new cases were confirmed on Saturday, bringing the total to five, including one death.
02:35The European Union has signed a revamped trade deal with Mexico as part of efforts to expand its influence
02:41in Latin America, shortly after the Mercosur Pact entered into force. Mexican President Claudia
02:48Sheenbaum was joined by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council
02:53President Antonio Costa for a summit in Mexico City to sign the deal.
02:57The goal here is simple. We want to create even more jobs and value on both sides. With swift
03:06ratification, tariffs on virtually all Mexican agri-food exports to Europe will disappear. Imagine the
03:16opportunities. European companies, drawn by Mexico's talent and dynamism, already support more than five
03:26million jobs here, and there is much more to come.
03:30The economic partnership reflects efforts on both sides to reduce their dependence on the U.S. and on
03:36China. The deal strengthens the EU's diversification strategy by updating a 20-year-old agreement that had
03:42already eliminated tariff barriers on bilateral trade. A Portuguese court has remanded in custody the
03:53mother and stepfather of two French children that had been abandoned on a roadside earlier this week.
04:00Considering the couple a flight risk, the court ordered the 41-year-old woman and 55-year-old man to
04:05be placed in pre-trial detention for the crimes of aggravated assault, endangerment, and abandonment of the
04:11boys after a two-day hearing. The case has drawn widespread attention in Portugal and France since
04:18the two small boys were found on Tuesday evening crying beside a road near Alcácer du Sal.
04:25The couple was arrested Thursday by Portuguese authorities in the central town of Fatima and
04:30brought before an investigating judge on Friday at the court in the southern port city of Stubal.
04:35The children have been placed with a French foster family in Lisbon pending their return to France.
04:41The children have been placed in the middle of the
04:42to be arrested and they will see the best. They will be placed with a lot of the
