00:00Pope Leo XIV received a seven-minute standing ovation following his historic speech to the
00:05Spanish Parliament, the first ever addressed to the House by a sitting pontiff.
00:10The European Union announced an additional 5 million euro to support efforts to contain
00:14the latest Ebola outbreak in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
00:21An offshore magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit the southern Philippines on Monday, killing at
00:26least 32 people.
00:32Pope Leo XIV marked one of the most important days of his visit to Madrid with his historic
00:37address to the Spanish Parliament, the first ever by any sitting pope.
00:41During his speech the pontiff acknowledged that society and the church itself have not always
00:46lived up to it insights that resonated within their own Christian tradition, and he also
00:51took the opportunity to call for immigrants to be received with respect and have real
00:56opportunities for integration.
00:59Pope Leo XIV also addressed the political tensions, saying that political pluralism should not degenerate
01:18into the constant denigration of the adversary.
01:22He received several minutes of applause at the end of his speech.
01:26Another significant moment of the day is said to be the private meeting Leo XIV will
01:30hold with victims of abuse within the church.
01:33The meeting, which will take place away from the public eye, aims to hear their testimonies
01:38first-hand and reaffirm the pope's commitment to truth, reparation and the prevention of these crimes,
01:43an issue he has placed among the priorities of his pontificate.
01:51The European Union has put an additional 5 million euro on the table to support efforts to
01:56contain the latest Ebola outbreak in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
02:00The move comes as the Ebola epidemic continues to accelerate across Central Africa, where almost 500
02:06cases have now been confirmed, according to the World Health Organization, which declared the crisis
02:11an international public health emergency.
02:14During her visit to the region on Sunday, the European Commissioner for Crisis Management,
02:18Hadia El-Lavid, explained how the new funding will be used.
02:22Since the pandemic appeared, we have been mobilized. We were very quickly on the ground to
02:28reinforce the aid. And this commitment continues today. I'm not coming from the empty hands,
02:34I'm coming with 5 million more to create regional diagnostic centers in the most affected provinces.
02:41The commissioner confirmed that the new funding aims to bolster testing abilities in areas where the
02:46virus is spreading, allowing health authorities to identify and isolate cases more quickly.
02:52According to the latest update on Saturday, 82 people have lost their lives in the DRC,
02:57where the outbreak was officially declared three weeks ago. Health experts have warned that if left
03:02unchecked, the epidemic could become one of the largest ever recorded. Commissioner Labib noted that
03:09warning signs were already apparent during a previous visit to the region earlier this year.
03:17The leaders of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom have backed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
03:23in calling for direct ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine, according to a joint statement
03:29issued following defense talks in London on Sunday night. Zelensky met with British Prime Minister
03:36Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at Downing Street for talks.
03:43The leaders supported the proposal for a direct dialogue between Ukraine and Russia with active
03:49U.S. and European participation. According to the leaders, the current line of contact,
03:55quote, should be the starting point for negotiations and international borders must not be changed by force.
04:02Sunday's meeting in London comes after Zelensky had proposed a face-to-face meeting
04:07with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an open letter last week. Putin has ruled out the move,
04:14saying he saw no point in meeting Zelensky until a possible peace deal had been agreed. The UK,
04:20France, and Germany, the so-called E3 group of European nations, have been prominent backers of Ukraine
04:26following Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
04:35Over the weekend, Israel launched strikes on Lebanon, killing several people, including three
04:41members of the Lebanese military, just days after the two sides agreed on a ceasefire deal.
04:46In an interview with Euronews, UNIFIL's deputy head of mission said that while the UN peacekeeping
04:52force is there to support the peace process, it cannot enforce any agreement on the parties involved.
04:58There was already a cessation of hostilities agreement found in November 24. We have supported
05:05this, in particular the redeployment of the Lebanese armed forces to the south,
05:11verifying that Hezbollah had vacated the south and helping the Lebanese armed forces to clear the south
05:18of weapons that were not under the control of the state. So we are here to support our process. But
05:25when the support fails, when the process fails, then it is not for UNIFIL to substitute itself to the
05:32parties and enforce an agreement that the parties have to implement. Hezbollah has rejected the Israel-Lebanon
05:41talks while a previous ceasefire has been breached daily, with Israeli troops deployed deep inside
05:47Lebanese territory and Hezbollah militants continuing to attack Israel.
05:51I think it's very difficult to see now a change within a few weeks. There is always
06:01the chance that the political process, the political will of the parties will change things on the ground.
06:07I think we see this under the US negotiations that are currently ongoing in Washington,
06:14but it's a very complicated process.
06:19Lebanon's army said the continued Israeli attacks thwart efforts toward a comprehensive ceasefire
06:25and Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Lebanese territories.
06:33At least 32 people have died after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the southern Philippines on Monday,
06:40by collapsing buildings and sparking tsunami warnings across the region. More than 200 people were injured,
06:47mostly in damaged buildings, officials said. According to Filipino authorities, a series of
06:52powerful aftershocks rocked the area from about two hours after the first quake, with General Santos,
06:59a southern port city of more than 700,000 people, being among the hardest hit. The international airport in
07:06General Santos was temporarily shot due to the earthquake and 17 domestic flights were cancelled.
07:12It was the strongest earthquake to hit the Philippines this year, affecting the southern region of Mindanao
07:18and triggering a one-meter tsunami waves along nearby coasts. Tsunami warnings were also issued across
07:25Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and several Pacific Island nations. Earthquakes are a near daily
07:32occurrence in the Philippines, which is situated on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an arc of intense
07:38seismic activity stretching from Japan through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific Basin.
07:48Preparations are picking up speed just days before an event of global significance,
07:52the G7 summit. From the 15th to the 17th of June, the heads of state and government of the world's
07:59seven leading economies will gather in Evian in the French Arps. About 50 km away, in La Roche-sur-Fouron,
08:07police officers are fine-tuning the logistics for the security operation.
08:11The first goal of the base is to support the needs of the deployed units. The goal is to be
08:17able to respond to
08:19all their needs, whether the repair of their vehicles or the replacement of their vehicles, but also to
08:27distribute the material and also to nourish them.
08:31A major challenge since 6100 gendarmes and 1400 vehicles will be deployed to ensure security for the summit.
08:41There is an escort, obviously, that is an evidence, of the head of state officials or delegations,
08:47but also the security of the population.
08:51Enhanced security checks will begin in Evian and the surrounding area with the establishment of
08:57restricted traffic zones, starting four days before the G7 summit begins.
09:07What, at first glance, might seem like a scene stolen from a western film is actually one of the most
09:13characteristic expressions of the rural identity of the Marema region of Lazio. Every year in May,
09:21the Canale Monterrano Buteri Association organizes a festival called Riarto which commemorates the moment
09:28before the start of the transuments, when the Buteri met to compete in skill competitions.
09:34Still today, Marema cows live only on rough pastures. To round them up,
09:38these skilled headsmen use their skill on horseback.
09:43Marema cows live only on horseback.
10:01With the progress of technology, the butero trade has almost disappeared, but the passion of people
10:07fond of this life has helped safeguard this role.
10:10When I was a kid, I remember that in the country, in the evening, the buteri with the
10:17horses came back, there were the stalls in the periphery area of the country, and then they
10:24used the horses for their needs or for their needs of other people.
10:31New technologies have also brought positive changes according to the new generation buteri.
10:37There have been different changes that have a lot of work on the butero work.
10:41The control, for example, with a car is faster than a car, is more comfortable,
10:48the management, if we want, of the bank data at a level anagraphic,
10:51to understand who is in the company, how many are born, how many are born,
10:55a vision a bit more of an insieme, for example, compared to the past,
10:59when the butero knows more from the animal,
11:03but today it may be a bit more far, but a vision of an insieme more general.
11:09For Marta and her brother Alessandro, the family and their roots in the urea have had a significant impact on
11:15their choice to become buteri.
11:17The part of the buterole is just this, to be the supervisor of the work of yourself,
11:24and for this is something that you make very proud of, because you are not responsible only for yourself,
11:30you are responsible for everything that you are around, your business, your own business,
11:35what you have left, and it must be something that you make proud of.
