00:00The ceasefire between Iran and the US appears all but broken as US President Donald Trump
00:05has vowed to continue striking Tehran.
00:11Bulgaria's newly elected Prime Minister Roman Radev says his country will cease transfers
00:15of weapons from its army stocks to Ukraine moving forward.
00:20Five EU countries have proposed instating stricter safeguards for new member states in a bid
00:25to avoid deadlocks similar to those experienced with Hungary under Viktor Orban's tenure.
00:32The ceasefire between Iran and the US appears all but broken as US President Donald Trump
00:37has vowed to continue striking Tehran, claiming it would pay the price for taking too long
00:43to negotiate a deal.
00:45The US conducted a series of airstrikes on Iran overnight into Wednesday in response to the
00:50downing of a US military helicopter near the Strait of Ormuz.
00:55Tehran responded with strikes of its own towards several countries in the region that host US bases.
01:00So we're going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard.
01:04We'll see what happens with the deal.
01:05We were really close to a deal but they keep tapping us along, they keep playing us for suckers
01:10because, you know what, they dealt with some very stupid presidents.
01:14Trump had earlier written in a social media post that Iran was the bully of the Middle East
01:19and that it would now pay the price for not negotiating a deal quickly enough.
01:23He also repeated a claim he has made in the past that Iran's military was completely defeated
01:29following the earlier exchange of fire.
01:33He said that a deal would have been in their favor
01:35but did not provide details on what the deal would have entailed.
01:45There will only be a diplomatic end to the war between the US and Israel against Iran,
01:50a former head of the French military mission to the UN told your news as the conflict reached 100 days.
01:56The Iranians don't care if their people are killed, they don't care if there is a real ceasefire
02:06because they've got now a very powerful government in Iran because there is no opposition at all.
02:16And because of the strike by the US in Iran is reinforcing the power in Tehran.
02:23Iran and the United States concluded a ceasefire on the 8th of April mediated by Pakistan,
02:29but it has been violated by both sides.
02:32The Iran struck American bases in Jordan and Bahrain on Wednesday
02:36after Washington launched strikes on Iran in response to the shooting down of an American helicopter.
02:43The declaration by the US of a ceasefire means that it's up to the US to decide if there is
02:50a breach or not,
02:51because there is no agreement with the Iranians.
02:55So we are no longer at war, we are not yet at peace, we are just in between,
03:00and each time there is a problem, of course, they use the force.
03:06Iran has stressed any peace deal must include a truce in Lebanon.
03:10Israeli and Lebanese authorities have agreed on a ceasefire plan last week,
03:14calling for the evacuation of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon,
03:18but the Iran-backed militia has rejected the deal.
03:25Bulgaria has announced that it will no longer provide weapons from its army stocks to Ukraine,
03:30as the country's newly elected Prime Minister, Rumin Radov,
03:33called for the pursuit of a diplomatic solution to end the war.
03:38Sofia's defense industry is set to remain, however, one of the main suppliers of ammunition headed to Kyiv.
03:44Radov stressed the new policy will therefore only affect weapons and munitions stockpiles
03:49held by the army and government, but that private sector deals remain open.
03:54Speaking to reporters ahead of a cabinet meeting, the Bulgarian premier said that his country has,
03:59quote,
04:06The Bulgarian leader, who's perceived as Russia-friendly, has called on Europe to engage in
04:11direct dialogue with Moscow in the wake of his campaign, stressing that it's the only way to
04:17end the hostilities. He insisted that Russia and Ukraine are embroiled in a war of attrition,
04:22adding that no matter how much weaponry is sent, the only cost will be human lives.
04:28Bulgaria's defense minister echoed a similar sentiment, noting that both sides need to
04:33sit at the negotiating table and come to a, quote,
04:36just peace that fulfills both their needs.
04:43Kyiv used Ukrainian-made flamingo missiles to strike a Russian military facility which
04:48supplies the Kremlin's forces with components used to produce drones and missiles.
04:52In a post on X, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country is continuing its
04:58efforts to target Russian military and oil facilities, their financial and munitions arms,
05:03to reduce their assault capabilities on Ukraine. The latest strikes hit the Russian city of Cheboksary
05:10in the central Chuvashia region, located some 1,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
05:16Regional Governor Oleg Nikolaev confirmed the city had come under attack,
05:20noting that authorities are working on determining the number of casualties and extent of damage.
05:25The Ukrainian missiles also targeted the Kuybyshev oil refinery, which processes close to 4
05:31million tons of crude annually, supplying a good chunk of that to Russia's military,
05:36industrial sector and armed forces. The Ukrainian flamingo missiles use remains
05:41relatively rare since they were developed and unveiled in August 2025.
05:45The projectile is classified as a cruise missile and carries a strike range of up to 3,000 kilometers,
05:52allowing Ukraine to hid deep within Russian territory and can carry warheads of just over a ton.
06:05Five European Union countries are urging the bloc to adopt stricter safeguards for future member states
06:11in an attempt to prevent problems that were caused by Hungary and the Orban. A joint proposal by Germany,
06:18France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg recommends beefing up accession treaties to allow the
06:24suspension of funds and voting rights of new member states if they breach EU principles. Newcomers would
06:30also have their veto power restricted to prevent blockages of key decisions. The initiative is a
06:36response to the EU's bruising experience with Viktor Orban. The former Hungarian prime minister,
06:42who was ousted in April, had led reforms weakening the rule of law and vetoed financial aid to Ukraine.
06:48Brussels is in the early stages of drafting the accession treaty of Montenegro, the front runner on
06:54the waiting list. The document is deliberately timed to ensure that the Montenegro treaty sets the
06:59blueprint for the remaining candidates, including Ukraine, Moldova, Albania, North Macedonia and Serbia.
07:06While no candidate is explicitly singled out, some references in the paper, such as enhanced transitional
07:12periods for the Common Agricultural Policy and Cohesion Policy appear to reflect concerns regarding Ukraine's
07:18application. UK leaders are calling for calm after the stabbing of a man in Belfast sparked violent
07:30anti-immigration protests where people torched buildings and vehicles and blocked roads.
07:35A Sudanese man was arrested on Tuesday in relation to the stabbing attack that was captured in a graphic
07:41video that shocked the country. As anti-immigration figures, including Reform Party leader Nigel Farage,
07:49demanded details about the attacker's background, the Interior Ministry confirmed he was a Sudanese
07:54asylum seeker. Northern Ireland's leaders urged people not to incite hate and fear or target
08:00particular communities after reports emerged that protests were planned. Tensions were already high in
08:06Britain after violent skirmishes last week in Southampton over the police handling of the
08:11murder of Henry Novak, a young white student stabbed to death by a British Sikh man.
08:17Tech billionaire Elon Musk chimed in again on social media following the attack in Belfast,
08:23retweeting a post by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer had previously
08:29accused Musk of fueling division in Britain over his comments on Novak's murder.
08:37Europe experienced one of its hottest months on record last month under an unusually early heat
08:44wave that the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service warned is becoming the new normal.
08:50According to the EU's climate monitor, May was the second hottest month on record globally,
08:56a month that saw Britain, France, Ireland and Portugal break their own records as a heat
09:02dome of warm air from Northern Africa pushed temperatures well above normal levels. According
09:09to Copernicus, globally the average surface air temperature reached 15.81 degrees Celsius, second only to May
09:172024. The average sea surface temperature was also the second highest on record behind May 2024,
09:25as conditions shift towards the warming El Nino weather pattern. Forecast warned that the coming El Nino
09:32could be one of the strongest on record. Last week, the World Meteorological Organization
09:37warned El Nino has an 80% chance of developing between June and August, increasing the risk of extreme weather
09:45events.
09:50What if walls could still talk? In the Vosges mountains of Alsace, the kitchen of the former Nazi
09:57concentration camp at Natzweiler-Strothof is currently undergoing archaeological excavation. Between 1941 and 1944,
10:0650 000 prisoners were forced to work here. It was in this long wooden barrack built by the
10:12deportees that mills were prepared. Today, the building is being studied and restored with a view to its future opening
10:19to the public.
10:20The goal is that visitors can enter into this building, discover its history and better
10:26experience the daily life, the daily survival of the deportees.
10:29The kitchen block was looted after the war, leaving almost nothing inside. Among the few objects found,
10:36a small glass vial, a few buttons and a comb. Archival documents have also revealed that inmates may
10:43have hidden objects in the walls. The wooden planks that make up the walls of the barracks will be carefully
11:01removed
11:02and numbered for restoration. They will then be reinserted in their original position.
11:28The restoration of the site is scheduled to continue until the end of 2027 before it is opened to the
11:35public
11:35at the memorial site.
