00:00United States President Donald Trump announced on Friday that a swift and lethal kinetic
00:05American military strike has killed Hector Rustenfort Guerrero Flores, the infamous leader
00:11of the Tren de Aragua gang.
00:14Trump posted an aerial video of the strike online warning that the group no longer has
00:18a safe haven anywhere.
00:20Defense Secretary Pete Hexed stated that the operation took place earlier in the week at
00:25a compound in mineral-rich southeastern state of Bolivar.
00:30The group is designated by Washington as a terrorist organization responsible for extensive
00:35violence and trafficking across North America, South America, and Europe.
00:40The Venezuelan government confirmed its participation in the combined operation, which resulted in
00:45fatal clashes with criminal members.
00:54The Polish army has welcomed the introduction of new F-35 fighter jets with an official ceremony
01:00in Lask on Friday.
01:02Poland signed a €4 billion contract in 2020 with the American company Lockheed Martin to
01:09acquire 32 F-35 fighter jets in the second largest arms deal in the country's history.
01:1514 aircraft are scheduled to arrive in Poland by the end of this year and all are scheduled
01:21to be delivered by 2029.
01:23They are one of the most widely used combat aircraft in NATO.
01:27The heroes of Top Gun Maverick and Iceman could only envy our pilots, Poland's Prime Minister
01:32Donald Tusk said during the ceremony.
01:35Polish President Karol Nawrowski stressed Poland is and will be stronger and safer in the coming
01:41years thanks to the F-35 aircraft.
01:44He also thanked the United States for sharing its technology and engineering achievements
01:49with Poland.
01:53The moment Wall Street has been anticipating all year is finally here and with a bang, as
01:59SpaceX began trading publicly on the Nasdaq in what has by some margin become the largest
02:05initial public offering in the history of financial markets.
02:09The space exploration company opened its initial trading at $150, more than 10% above its IPO price
02:16of $135.
02:19But within just minutes of the IPO, shares were already quickly trading at close to $170.
02:26The company led and controlled by the world's richest man, Elon Musk, made available $555.6
02:33million worth of Class A shares, valuing the company at a staggering $1.78 trillion.
02:40Speaking at the launch of the successful IPO, Musk admitted that he wouldn't believe that
02:45a company founded in a warehouse in El Segundo in 2002 would reach these heights.
02:50Let me tell you, if people had told me this was going to happen, I was like, man, you must
02:57be smoking some really good crack.
03:00Because I think this company is going to fail.
03:05I mean, I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all, to be clear.
03:17SpaceX going public has enriched Musk some $200 billion overnight, pushing him into uncharted
03:24trillionaire territory, according to Forbes' valuation, at a net worth of $1.1 trillion.
03:30The company is expected to be fast-tracked into the Nasdaq 100 stock index, consisting of
03:36100 of the largest and most actively traded non-financial companies listed on the New York-based
03:41exchange.
03:45The opening matches of the FIFA World Cup brought historic results and massive celebrations
03:50for the host nations on Friday night.
03:53In Toronto, co-hosts Canada secured their first ever point on the global stage after fighting
03:58back in the second half to draw 1-1 against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
04:03Thousands of red-clad supporters created an electric atmosphere in the shadow of the city's
04:07iconic CN Tower, celebrating the historic goal wildly alongside Hollywood celebrities
04:12in the stands.
04:14Meanwhile, a small but enthusiastic contingent of Bosnian fans filled the venue with loud
04:20cheering after their team took an unexpected first-half lead.
04:24Further south, the world's biggest football tournament returned to the United States for
04:28the first time in 32 years with a dynamic 4-1 victory over Paraguay.
04:33A passionate, star-studded Los Angeles crowd of more than 70,000 filled Sofi Stadium to witness
04:40the team's largest ever lead in a World Cup match.
04:43Dozens of American celebrities and cultural icons turned out for the match, but US President
04:48Donald Trump did not show up.
