00:04and that all shooting will stop after talking to Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah.
00:10France and its allies detained a sanctioned Russian oil tanker in the Atlantic Ocean over the weekend
00:15whose captain refused to comply with direct orders.

00:30In a fast-moving chain of events on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said no Israeli troops will be
00:35going to Beirut
00:36and any troops on their way have already been turned back after he talked to Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah.
00:42In a post on TrueSocial, Trump claimed he had a very good call with Hezbollah
00:47and they agreed all shooting will stop so that Israel will not attack them and they will not attack Israel.
00:53Trump further stated in a separate post on his platform that negotiations with Tehran have continued at a rapid pace.
01:00These messages came shortly after Iran's IRGC-linked Tasnim news agency reported that Tehran decided to stop
01:07exchanging messages with the U.S. on a peace deal following Israel's widespread offensive in Lebanon.
01:12The report also announced Iran's resolve to completely block the Strait of Hormuz and to expand its fighting fronts.
01:20However, Trump downplayed Iran's statement by telling U.S. media that Tehran had not informed Washington of the move,
01:25claiming oil prices would drop like a rock in the very near future as he was addressing the sudden market
01:31spike.
01:32Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry released a statement blaming Washington for not restraining Israel from its Lebanese offensive
01:39and stating that the country is acting on the basis of its inherent right to self-defense.
01:45Additionally, two Iranian generals were quoted as saying that Tehran is prepared to undertake what they called
01:51defensive operations through game-changing measures regarding the Strait of Hormuz.

01:59France and its allies have detained a sanctioned Russian oil tanker in the Atlantic Ocean over the weekend,
02:04according to an announcement by President Emmanuel Macron.
02:07The high seas interception followed the Russian captain of the Tagors' direct refusal to comply with naval orders,
02:13forcing French forces to take physical control of the vessel.
02:17The Brest Prosecutor's Office has opened a formal criminal investigation into the ship's failure to prove its nationality,
02:23an absolute absence of a flag, and open non-compliance.
02:27The Kremlin's response came from spokesman Dmitry Pesco,
02:30who challenged the seizure by calling it illegal and comparing the move to piracy.
02:36President Macron condemned the activity, stating it is unacceptable for vessels to circumvent international sanctions,
02:42violate maritime law, and fund the war being waged against Ukraine for more than four years.
02:47The operation marks the fourth time since September that France has boarded ships suspected of belonging to Russia's unverified shadow
02:55fleet.
02:56Previous operations include the seizure of the Borachai for a suspected drone airspace violation in Denmark,
03:02as well as the boarding of the Etera in the North Sea and the Dina in the Mediterranean.
03:07Maritime authorities warn that nearly 600 vessels are now subject to EU sanctions
03:12for utilizing flak-hopping tactics to bypass energy restrictions.
03:20No, this is, this is a...
03:22Former NATO Deputy Secretary General Mechia Johanna has warned that the military alliance
03:28needed stronger low-altitude military capabilities to shoot down drones.
03:33His comments, said on your news program Europe Today,
03:37come after a drone crashed in the Romanian city of Galati,
03:41a port city near the border of Ukraine, last week.
03:43I think we have to do a much better effort to try to find the right kind of air and
03:49missile defense for NATO in general.
03:53So, if for mid-altitude and high-altitude, let's say there are some things in place,
03:58Patriot missiles, you know, the F-16s, the F-35s, NATO operations,
04:03for these basically low-altitude things, we are still lacking the kind of adequate means.
04:09They do exist on the market. You can acquire them.
04:13The only thing is that you have to put your right priorities in the right place.
04:17Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected blame for the drone crash,
04:21but the incident has further underlined the need for NATO to better equip itself
04:26against the form of modern warfare.
04:30Johanna said that NATO should keep up with the innovation cycle,
04:34with much faster cycle of procurement and adaptation for this new world plan.

05:01in the moment is a late-art meeting.
05:05We will not be able to do that.
05:15At the moment, we will be able to do it in terms of the situation,
05:18and to reduce the water management of the government.
05:19It will be easier.
05:20We will not move on the agenda to the end of the time.
05:21We will not live by the law at the end of the time.
05:25We will not live at a basis with a personalAY charge.
05:26On election night, the new Prime Minister called on President Tamás Tsulyok along with other public officials to resign, arguing
05:34that, as puppets of the previous regime, they had failed to fulfill their constitutional duties.
05:40President Tsulyok announced in a social media video on Sunday that he would not resign.
05:45It would not give a solution to the previous political conflict, to the appropriate resolution of the election.

06:20These are the latest figures released by Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
06:26According to the African Union's Health Agency, the virus has killed 43 people.
06:32The outbreak is mainly affecting the DRC, with 282 cases and 42 deaths.
06:38In response to the outbreak, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations will urgently accelerate the development of three investigational vaccines
06:48targeting the Bundibugyo virus responsible for the current Ebola outbreak.
06:53The World Health Organization identified these three vaccine candidates as the most promising ones currently under development.
07:02While vaccines are being developed, the WHO said the priority is to stop transmission with tools that have been used
07:10for decades in Ebola responses.
07:13These include disease surveillance, rapid testing, diagnosis, contact tracing, isolation and care for patients.
07:23The Japanese technology investment group SoftBank has announced plans to develop and operate five gigawatts of artificial intelligence data center
07:31capacity in France with an investment worth 75 billion euros.
07:36The initiative represents the centerpiece of a broader wave of technology investments with President Emmanuel Macron confirming that the country
07:43expects 93 billion euros in total foreign commitments at this year's Choose France Summit.
07:50SoftBank will deploy an initial 45 billion euros by 2031 for the first phase of the project, delivering more than
07:57three gigawatts of high-performance computing capacity across the Haute-de-France region.
08:03Sites are already planned in Boskel, Bouchon and L'Homme-Plage in Dunkirk, positioning France as a leading digital hub
08:10in Europe.
08:11To support this massive computing load and strengthen local supply chains, the Japanese group is partnering with French energy company
08:19EDF and Schneider Electric.
08:22The collaboration will establish a dedicated industrial hub at the port of Dunkirk featuring specialized plants for assembling power modules
08:29and producing advanced data center enclosures.
08:32French officials stated that the strategic project will fast track digital sovereignty while creating thousands of highly skilled jobs across
08:40engineering, robotics and advanced manufacturing.
08:56The high seas are the areas of ocean that lie beyond national waters. It's almost half the planets. It belongs
09:04to all of us. So we all have this responsibility to look after it.
09:17It plays a very important role in terms of providing food, but also in the functioning of some of our
09:24planet's key Earth systems, such as the climate cycle and the water cycle.
09:40As we see fish stocks dwindling and technology advancing, going further and deeper into the ocean, the threats are increasing.
09:48And until now, there have been no real clear rules on how to protect this area.
09:56Ladies and gentlemen, the ship has reached the shore.
10:08This is a real symbol of multilateralism, especially in this very challenging geopolitical backdrop. It's been really seen as a
10:19hope spot.
10:34It's not always necessary to be out on the ocean itself to be able to see what's happening.
10:40We see these breakthroughs in tools and technology are going to be absolutely vital to ensure that it's properly enforced
10:49and having the sharing of data, which is going to be a key thing and having the transparency to have
10:56access to understand what is happening there.
11:08It was an amazing honor. The Earthshot Prize just shows that this this power of joint effort between the governments
11:17and the scientists and indigenous people, local communities, youth and civil societies working together for so long to come together
11:27for the power of good.
11:29It's a great idea for the planet.
