00:00The Global Heritage Foundation has offered to work with Peruvian authorities to improve conditions at Machu Picchu, which faces increasing
00:08overcrowding.
00:10Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want to negotiate with Europe. Ukraine's former Prime Minister Aseni Yatsuniuk told you her
00:18news.
00:20The European Commission hit Chinese online retailer Temu with a 200 million euros fine on Thursday.
00:30U.S. and Iranian negotiators have reached a tentative framework agreement to extend the Iran's war ceasefire by 60 days
00:38and launch negotiations on Iran's nuclear program towards the final deal.
00:44The tentative framework agreement was confirmed by Vice President J.D. Vance late Thursday, but Vance said it was unclear
00:52if President Donald Trump would approve of it.
00:55Part of what we're trying to do here is really set the stage for a successful negotiation.
00:59There are certain details that are going to have to be figured out that are going to take a little
01:02bit of time to become in.
01:03So, there are a lot of details to work out, but what I mean is I think we're making progress.
01:07We're getting to a point where we could potentially sit down and settle these issues, but that requires us to
01:13make a little bit more progress.
01:14I can't guarantee that we're going to get there, but right now I feel pretty good about it.
01:18The emerging memorandum of understanding came as the fragile ceasefire in the war appeared to be wavering following renewed exchange
01:26of fire between both sides this week.
01:29According to reports, a finalized deal would also include a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, whose months-long closure
01:37by Tehran has led to a push-up in energy prices and disruption of global supply chains.
01:48Ukraine plans to buy up to 20 fighter jets, while Sweden will donate 16 older models to boost its air
01:55defense, the two countries said on Thursday.
01:59The announcement was made during a surprise visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
02:05Zelensky said the combat aircraft will be especially helpful in stopping Russian planes that launch powerful glide bombs at Ukraine.
02:35Meanwhile, Sweden's Prime Minister says the country wants to learn from Ukraine's cutting-edge drone expertise.
02:42Ukraine right now has the most advanced capacity to deal with drone wars in Europe, and we are extremely eager
02:54to learn from Ukraine.
02:56The 16 donated aircraft will be delivered in early 2027, Christensen said.
03:03Ukraine plans to allocate 2.5 billion euros from an EU loan for the new aircraft.
03:09This is Sweden's 22nd military aid package to Ukraine, worth a total of 2.3 billion euros, Sweden said.
03:21Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gasterer was in Paris on Wednesday to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron and seal a
03:30new bilateral defense agreement.
03:32The French and Norwegian defense ministers formalized the NAVIC agreement designed to strengthen military cooperation between the two countries.
03:42It notably includes a mutual assistance clause.
03:45The agreement also provides for the possibility of temporarily hosting the French strategic air force in partner countries.
04:07For his part, the Norwegian Prime Minister welcomed the French President's initiative.
04:12For many years, French nuclear weapons were exclusively linked to France's own security.
04:18France is now opening up dialogue with close allies on how their nuclear weapons also can contribute to European security,
04:24broad sense, and deterrence against military threats.
04:27In a speech delivered in early March at the Ilong Strategic Base near Brest,
04:33Emmanuel Macron presented an updated version of France's nuclear doctrine.
04:37The head of state spoke of advanced deterrence involving several willing European countries,
04:43while making it clear that the final decision would remain exclusively French.
04:47Eight countries immediately joined this initiative.
04:50Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden and Denmark.
04:59Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want to negotiate with Europe.
05:04Ukraine's former Prime Minister, Aseniyat Sunyuk, told Euronews.
05:08Putin is not eager. He is not ready for any kind of talks at this particular juncture.
05:13Maybe he would accept some kind of negotiator with the only very simple and obvious reason,
05:18to buy time and once again to outweigh and to cheat us.
05:24Meanwhile, Europeans haven't decided yet who could beat the EU negotiator.
05:29I am not sure that Putin is ready to accept anyone.
05:32What Putin is ready to accept, he is ready to accept Ukraine's and actually European surrender.
05:37And we have to realize this.
05:38It is not about the names.
05:40It's not about some kind of international or domestic politics.
05:44It is about policy.
05:46What kind of policy we are going to pursue towards Russia?
05:49The only language Putin understands is the language of force and strength.
05:53High Representative Kayakalas stressed Europeans should agree first on their co-requests to Russia
05:59before considering talking to Moscow.
06:01The matter is set to be on the agenda of an informal meeting of European foreign affairs ministers on Thursday.
06:11Italian authorities have seized more than 200 million euros in assets linked to the late mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro's
06:21drug trafficking network.
06:23The seizure included more than 12 kilos in gold, millions in cash, premium watches and some 20 luxury properties, investigators
06:32said.
06:32Prosecutors described Thursday as a blow to the Sicilian mafia's attempt to rebuild its financial power.
06:39Significa continuare in un processo di disarticolazione necessario per impedire la formazione di strutture
07:17Messina Denaro died in a prison hospital some nine months after he was arrested in January 2023,
07:25ending three decades as a fugitive.
07:28More than 150 Italian financial police officers carried out searches in Italy and abroad,
07:35including in Andorra, Gibraltar, the Cayman Islands, Switzerland, Lebanon, Monaco and Spain.
07:46The European Commission hit Chinese online retailer Temu with a 200 million euros fine on Thursday.
07:53The EU investigation found the e-commerce giant didn't do enough to protect consumers from illegal products.
08:01Temu reaches 130 million consumers in the European Union,
08:06But the company has not properly assessed the risks of illegal products being sold on its marketplace.
08:13What products are we talking about?
08:16Dangerous toys for kids, small electronics without proper label,
08:20clothes and jewellery containing harmful chemicals, to name just a few.
08:25Preliminary findings last year revealed Temu was exposing consumers to dangerous products
08:31such as harmful baby toys and faulty chargers.
08:34The bloc issued the penalty under the Digital Services Act, or GSA,
08:38a rulebook that requires online platforms to protect Internet users from harmful content or dodgy goods.
08:45Temu did not respond immediately to a request for comments.

10:23A global heritage foundation has offered to work with Peruvian authorities to improve conditions at Machu Picchu.
10:31The iconic tourist destination is a bucket list item for many, but tourists are increasingly facing more overcrowding, long queues
10:39and unreliable transport services.
10:43In September, the foundation behind the list of the seven world wonders warned that Machu Picchu's status as one of
10:49those wonders is at risk.
10:50Now they're offering to help.
10:53Since then, sadly, unfortunately, but not surprisingly due to the political quasi-paralysis in Peru, we have seen no progress.
11:02So we've come back to Lima to advance the discussions now that the democratic process is reaching a critical positive
11:08point, we hope, with a solution and a new leadership.
11:11And we hope to be able to work with a new leadership, once it's in place, to find a positive
11:16outcome for Machu Picchu's one of the new seven wonders of the world.
11:20The foundation said it is not currently considering stripping Machu Picchu of its wonder of the world designation, but would
11:27like to see improvements to the site.
11:29So now we hope for them to be able to work with a tool, with a plan to space.
