00:01European leaders have welcomed the framework deal to end war reached between the United States and Iran.
00:11The G7 summit kicks off in Avion in France on Monday with heightened security.
00:20An Oslo court sentenced Norwegian crowned princess Metamarin's son to four years in prison on two counts of rape and
00:27other offenses.
00:31European leaders have welcomed the framework deal to end war reached between the United States and Iran.
00:38On X, the president of the European Council, António Costa, said that he was looking forward to an end to
00:44this costly war.
00:45I commend the tireless diplomatic efforts of all those who made this deal possible, he added.
00:52The EU's top diplomat is on the same page.
00:55There is the deal that has been announced now by the US and Iran that is much welcomed by everybody.
01:02It is the first phase to open the Strait of Hormuz and then move on to the negotiations on the
01:10critical topics like the nuclear issue,
01:12but also other critical issues that are important for the stability and peace in the region.
01:20On a lighter note, Mr Speaker...
01:22For the British Prime Minister, this is an encouraging announcement and an opportunity to be seized.
01:29This is a hugely significant moment.
01:33We have long called for de-escalation and it is vital that all parties seize this opportunity
01:40to secure stability in the region and restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
01:47In a joint statement, the UK, together with France, Germany and Italy,
01:52have pledged to play their part in ensuring the free and unrestricted flow of traffic along the Strait of Hormuz.
01:59British Prime Minister Kirstammer, French President Emmanuel Macron,
02:03German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni
02:06referred to a strictly defensive and independent mission aimed at reassuring commercial traffic
02:12and carrying out mine-clearing operations.
02:19Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned what he called one of Russia's most serious crimes
02:26against Christian culture to date following Moscow's assault which damaged the 11th century Dormition Cathedral
02:33within Kiev-Pekoslavra.
02:35The damage came during a large Russian missile and drone attack on Kiev overnight into Monday
02:42that left at least 11 people dead, dozens injured and several residential buildings destroyed.
02:48Russia has denied hitting the historical site.
02:52Visiting a scene with members of his government, Zelenskyy, hailed the rescue efforts and noted
02:58the bells of the Lavra again rang out across Kiev symbolically despite the damage the church had suffered.
03:06The Kiev-Pekoslavra, also known as the Monastery of the Caves,
03:11is a sprawling complex of monasteries and churches including some underground built between the 11th and 19th centuries.
03:20Some of the churches at the UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site are connected to a labyrinthine complex of caves
03:27spanning more than 600 meters.
03:30The attack prompted swift condemnation across Europe with the French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barraud
03:36describing it as equivalent, for us French, quote,
03:40of a bombing of the Notre Dame referring to the iconic Paris Cathedral.
03:51On her way to the G7 in France, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takechi met Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in
03:59Rome on Monday.
04:01The meeting takes place a few hours after the announcement of the framework agreement between the US and Iran.
04:08Takechi has pledged to contribute to peace and stability across the Middle East
04:12by guaranteeing free and safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and energy resilience.
04:18The Japanese and Italian leaders discussed how to strengthen their cooperation in the run-up to the G20 summit,
04:25which will be held in December in Miami.
04:49Italy and Japan aim to consolidate the bilateral special strategic partnership they signed in January,
04:55as this year will mark the 160th anniversary of the diplomatic relations.
05:01Space, defence, economic security and industrial cooperation are set to become the partnership's main drivers.
05:08Japan remains Italy's third-largest trading partner in Asia
05:13and the second-largest destination for Italian exports in the Asian continent.
05:21No fewer than 16,000 members of the French police force have been mobilised to provide security for the G7
05:28summit,
05:29which opens this Monday in the spa town of Evian.
05:32The summit is taking place in a climate of high tension,
05:35with clashes erupting in Geneva on Sunday between anti-G7 demonstrators and the police.
05:41At the heart of the large-scale security operation,
05:44the mining teams will be in charge of checking hundreds of vehicles during the summit.
05:49We have volumes that are planned, we are around 1,000 cars per day.
05:54Today, it's the beginning of the summit, the authorities arrive tomorrow,
06:00but we will be around 500 and 1,000 cars per day, at Budenay.
06:06All vehicles entering the summit's site or screened by a state-of-the-art device
06:10which allows the bomb squad to detect any suspicious devices hanging under the chassis.
06:15So, in fact, the vehicle passes under the yellow flag that you see next to the side,
06:20and after the passage, we get this image which allows us to check the entirety of the vehicle,
06:28the wheel passes, the level of the brakes...
06:33It is then the turn of the explosive detection dogs to check the interior of the vehicles,
06:39followed by specialists from the army.
06:41It's a complex operation, but one that can be completed in just a few minutes.
06:46To make a vehicle, it takes us quite fast.
06:50We can be between 5 and 7 minutes per vehicle.
06:53So, we can absorb a lot of vehicles.
06:57This enhanced security arrangement was largely inspired by the one put in place during the Paris Olympics in 2024.
07:05There are a few more than 100 demineers who are engaged on the service.
07:10It is practically one-third of the effect of the service of the demineering complete.
07:15Each line is obligated to put in place some dogs with dogs with dogs with dogs with dogs with explosives,
07:23and some specialists in the research of explosives who are there for this sequence,
07:29issued by the army.
07:32The leaders of the other G7 countries will be received this Monday by Emmanuel Macron in Evian.
07:38Several guest countries, including Brazil and India, will also be represented.
07:47An Oslo court on Monday sentenced Norwegian crowned Princess Metemarit's son
07:52to four years in prison on two counts of rape and other offenses
07:57in a high-profile scandal that has rocked the monarchy.
08:00Marius Borg Hojbi was accused of 40 charges from rape to traffic violations,
08:06carrying a maximum possible sentence of 16 years in prison.
08:09Hojbi, who is not formally part of the royal household and has no steady job,
08:14was acquitted for two other counts of rape and convicted of repeated domestic abuse against
08:20an ex-girlfriend, traffic violations, issuing threats and other offenses.
08:25Hojbi had denied the most serious allegations, including the rape charges,
08:30although during the trial he acknowledged that jealousy sometimes made him lose control.
08:35The rapes, of which he was accused, occurred between 2018 and 2024.
08:41The women themselves did not file rape charges against Hojbi.
08:45Instead, police investigating the August 2024 incident
08:48discovered videos on his phones and computers,
08:51which they said constituted rapes and contacted the women
08:55who were unaware of the events depicted.
08:58His defense team had called for him to serve 18 months for the other charges,
09:02to which he pleaded guilty,
09:04including transporting 3.5 kilos of marijuana,
09:08physical assaults and threats.
09:13Professional fishermen and critters in this peril,
09:16pufferfish, an invasive species that entered the Mediterranean
09:19through the Suez Canal, continue to devastate the marine biodiversity.
09:24The pufferfish problem affects many Mediterranean countries,
09:27particularly Cyprus and Greece,
09:29where this poisonous and highly opportunistic predator
09:31has become dominant in recent years.
09:34In addition to containing a powerful toxin
09:37that makes them deadly if consumed,
09:39these fish have exceptional strong jaws,
09:41capable of biting through wood and metal.
09:44theщее walk was born of aestro's.
09:44He makes the fish and a fish in the sea.
09:47Look at the shake.
09:49It's impossible.
09:51These fish in five days will need to get them apart.
09:53It's a very difficult fish.
09:57It's a fish.
09:59It takes a nice fish.
10:01It doesn't matter who it is.
10:03We had to give them a old fish and a fish,
10:05and a fish fish and a fish fish.
10:07It's already been dry.
10:09It's not a good fish.
10:11It's a bad fish.
10:11It's a bad fish.
10:11Greek fishermen are calling on the government to immediately implement a subsidy program for the removal of these fish, allowing
10:18fishermen to cut them and reduce their population, while limiting the enormous damage puffer fish are causing to their livelihoods.
10:25We have done research and we have seen that there is a great impact on the population.
10:33We have identified this issue around 8.500€ for every ship.
10:40Puffer fish were first recorded in Greece in 2005 in Crete and the Dodecanese Islands.
10:47Twenty years later, they are now found throughout the country with scientists warning that consuming them can be fatal.
10:55The tetrodotoxin is a very dangerous toxin, since it is caused by the blood pressure. It causes a heart failure
11:04and the brain stops. In general, they want to be very careful.
11:10Research is also underway to find ways to neutralize the species toxins, so that it may eventually become commercially viable
11:16or at least useful for other purposes.
11:18We have proceeded to research to find ways to remove the tetrodotoxin from the blood pressure and to be able
11:28to get a clean mass of the body of the blood pressure.
11:33and there's a lot of confusion, confusion, confusion, and other things.
