00:14including near government offices, residential buildings and schools.

00:32as local authorities reported supermarkets and warehouses across the city were also damaged.
00:38Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Sunday
00:42that Russia had used the nuclear-capable Areshnik missile in the attack.
00:46It comes after he warned of intelligence, indicating that possibility a day earlier.
00:53Ukrainian authorities said Russian strikes had also wounded three people in the broader
00:57Kyiv region, 11 in the Cherkassy region and seven in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
01:05The United States is close to reaching a deal with Iran that would include the reopening of
01:11the Strait of Hormuz, according to statements from U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary
01:15of State Marco Rubio. Rubio on Sunday hinted that good news may be announced soon,
01:21after Trump had announced on Saturday that a draft framework for an agreement was largely negotiated.
01:27So we've made some progress over the last 48 hours working with our partners in the Gulf region
01:31on an outline that could ultimately, if it succeeds, leave us not just with the completely open straits,
01:38and I mean open straits without tolls, and with addressing some of the key
01:46things that underpin what has been Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions in the past.
01:52Under the potential deal, Tehran would agree to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium,
01:57and the U.S. would end its blockade of Iran's ports, according to two regional officials close
02:03to the Pakistan-led negotiations. Several countries, including the European Union and

02:15More than 100 police officers stormed the Ankara headquarters of the Republican People's
02:20Party on Sunday morning, cutting through the main entrance gate to reinstate former leader
02:25Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. The officers used tear gas inside the building against party members
02:30who had barricaded the reception level with furniture. The tactical entry followed a controversial
02:37ruling by the 36th Civil Chamber of the Ankara Regional Court of Justice, which declared the
02:422023 party congress that elected Özgür Özel absolutely null and void due to bribery allegations.
02:49The operation triggered a furious civil war within the party, with many members of parliament
02:53condemning the raid. CHP MP Mahmud Tanal addressed Kılıçdaroğlu directly on social media telling him
03:00to pull back his third-rate mafia tugs, while others accused the former leader of dragging the
03:05country back into darkness. Meanwhile, Kılıçdaroğlu demanded that the current leadership comply with
03:11the court ruling, as his lawyers formally requested that the police hand the building over to them.
03:17As the standoff continues, CHP Parliamentary Group Deputy Chair Murat Emir challenged Kılıçdaroğlu
03:23to face the membership at a fresh congress.

03:48Well, I'm very happy because it's not just an entertaining film. I hope it is entertaining.
03:55I hope it is human. I hope it is going to speak to people about this necessity of getting into
04:02a
04:02dialogue with the others. I hope it's going to bring more doubts to people who are sure that they are
04:08right and everybody else is wrong. Well, you know, it's good every now and then to double check your
04:13values and to understand that there isn't just one solution for the problems that the world is having.
04:21The movie is based on true events and is notable for how it questions the progressive values of
04:25Norwegian society and appears sympathetic to the conservative religious characters,
