00:00Petrol sales in Russian-occupied Crimea were suspended from Sunday morning as a fuel crisis deepens on the peninsula.
00:08According to Moscow's head of the annexed territory, fuel will be sold only to, quote,
00:14government agencies that ensure the functioning and security of the Republic of Crimea.
00:19It comes as Kiev's targeting of Russia's energy industry sparks a major fuel crisis in Crimea
00:26with long queues for petrol stations and limited supply.
00:30From 9.00 to the Kremlin, fuel for the financial and without the insurance and for the legal and physical
00:37people will be stopped.
00:39Fuel will be released only by state services that ensure life and safety of the Republic of Crimea.
00:46In recent months, Ukraine has increasingly attacked Russian oil facilities.
00:51On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his forces had hit facilities on, quote,
00:57both sides of the Crimean bridge, including maritime logistics used to transport oil in the Krasnoda region
01:05and an oil depot in temporarily occupied Kerch.
01:09Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Ukraine have continued relentlessly,
01:12with local authorities in eastern Ukraine reporting three people dead and 22 others injured on Sunday.
01:22A heat wave continued to grip much of Western Europe on Sunday,
01:26with high temperatures expected to persist well into next week.
01:30In France, authorities have restricted alcohol consumption at the annual Fête de la Musique festival in Paris.
01:36The nationwide summer solstice celebration involves thousands of concerts in village squares, rave venues and clubs.
01:43The French government banned public drinking in red alert zones
01:47and ordered organizers of events to limit alcohol consumption to preserve emergency services.
01:52Temperatures are expected to reach 35 degrees in Paris on Sunday,
01:57while parts of southern France and Spain are set to touch 40 degrees.
02:01Across Europe, locals and tourists have flocked to parks, canals and water fountains to seek relief from the heat,
02:07with temperatures reaching the upper 30s in Spain, Italy, Germany and the UK.
02:12Human-caused climate change is tied to increasing extreme weather events
02:17and UN Climate Agency projections say the next five years should shatter more heat records.
02:23A rapid study found that human-caused climate change was responsible for killing about 1,500 people
02:29in an unusually early European heat wave last month.
02:37UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing mounting pressure to resign or face a challenge
02:43from newly elected Labour Party lawmaker Andy Burnham,
02:46who is returning to Parliament following a massive by-election win in Makerfield.
02:52Business Secretary Peter Kyle said on Sunday that Starmer was making time to reflect on the political realities,
02:58amid media reports that he could announce a timetable for his resignation as soon as Monday.
03:04Burnham's win in the Makerfield constituency, nearly doubling Labour's majority,
03:09has increased the internal pressure on Starmer to quit,
03:12as Burnham has made clear he intends to bid to lead the slumping party.
03:17If successful, he would become Prime Minister by default,
03:21given that ruling Labour has a huge parliamentary majority.
03:25Starmer, who is deeply unpopular with voters, according to polling,
03:29has so far insisted he will fight any attempts to oust him.
03:39The Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid has been at the centre of public attention recently.
03:45He was scheduled to serve on the jury of the 37th Marseille International Film Festival in July,
03:50but withdrew after other participants called for a boycott against his involvement.
03:55We met the Israeli director of Nicosia during the 24th Cyprus Film Days International Festival,
04:00and spoke with him about his film Yes!
04:06I think that Yes is a film that tries to dig inside the collective psyche of this Israeli society post
04:16-7th of October,
04:18and in a way he tries to dig inside the soul of those who see themselves as the good Israelis,
04:24like not the bad ones, not the usual suspects,
04:28they are not extremist settlers, they are not soldiers, they are not fanatic religious people,
04:37they are not even right-wing people.
04:39They are nice, kind, beautiful, normal Israelis who, of course, find themselves doing the worst.
04:50Although Lapid's film received partial state funding from Israel,
04:54it has been fiercely condemned by the Countries Ministry of Culture,
04:56which argues that it tarnishes the image of the nation and its military.
04:59So the question, I think, is how cinema deal with such things.
05:02For instance, with Israeli society post-7th of October,
05:06with this society that will commit the genocide in Gaza,
05:09and my answer, which I think is different from the popular answer of political cinema,
05:18is that instead of trying to go to the important political figures,
05:24I don't know, instead of analyzing Netanyahu or his politics,
05:29you should try to get to the collective psyche of a nation.
05:33I feel that instead of filling our classical role as artists,
05:42which means to be in advance or to jump to the fire and to deal with it,
05:49a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, the huge majority of movies,
05:53they became a kind of tranquilizers.
05:55They became a kind of tranquilizers.
05:58And on this sense, in a way, they collaborate with the erotosity.
06:04The Israeli director is well aware that he has made enemies in his homeland.
06:09My whole cinematic path is a kind of dance and of hate and intimacy with my motherland.
06:18And I paid a price and took risk for holding this position for doing the movies that I'm doing.
06:24So it's not easy to be an Israeli, but also, you know, you shouldn't feel too pity for yourself.
07:04So it's not easy to be an Israeli, but also, you know, you shouldn't feel too pity for yourself.
07:08It was like an winter, we had a constant temperature between 19, 5 and 20 degrees,
07:13due to a machine that recycling the air.
07:16Because as we are in a cave, so a completely closed place,
07:21this machine recycling the air and gives us an air frail,
07:26which has stabilised the temperature.
07:58and so when we heat up inside the winter, we don't have cold because in fact the
08:03heat doesn't go outside, it remains inside. It's, I think, in any case, the best
08:07natural isolation that we are today.
08:18Habiter in a city centre Blondit, with the climate change that we talked about earlier,
08:22it's an incredible chance because in fact there is nothing to do.
08:27In other words, it's just to take advantage of this natural freshness that La Roche gives us
08:34to pass and live these regular canicules periods that we have now,
08:41since the last year, in a nice way.

10:01I wanted to see how my alignment compared to that of Stonehenge and when I drew the line and
10:08extended it out on both sides, I realised that those alignments were parallel. In other words, the
10:14angle off of the direct north was exactly the same at my site as it is at Stonehenge and then
10:23I began to
10:24think that actually I found to think that actually I found a solstitial alignment.
10:50What are the odds that this could happen by chance?
10:54Because these posts are not close to each other, they are 120 meters apart. This means that they create
11:01an alignment that is actually quite narrow. It's only about a degree. And to get an alignment like
11:08that with the solstice, by chance, has a probability of 0.5 percent. That's an odds of 1 to 1800.
11:16That's an odds of 1 to 800.
