00:00Qatar's foreign ministry said U.S. Envoy Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Doha to meet mediators on the
00:07U.S.-Iran peace negotiations.
00:09Tehran announced that an Iranian technical team will also travel to Doha, but denied agreeing to meet U.S. counterparts
00:17at any level.
00:18The visit follows four days of reciprocal strikes over the Strait of Hormuz, which threatened to derail the peace talks.
00:27The U.S. Envoy Mr. Steve Whitcoff and Mr. Jared Kushner are here in Doha to meet with the Qatari
00:32officials,
00:33so they are not here for direct negotiations with the Iranians.
00:38The technical meetings are still happening, and mediators are working as go-betweens between the parties in the time being.
00:46We're not expecting any high-level Iranian officials at the moment.
00:50Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman Dr. Mejl Ansari said negotiations would cover the Strait of Hormuz navigation,
00:57Iran's nuclear program, and wider regional security.
01:01He added that discussions also continue over Iran's frozen assets.
01:05Regarding the frozen assets, this is part of the 2023 agreement that was under the Biden administration
01:10between the United States and Iran to move $6 billion of the frozen assets of Iran to Qatar,
01:17to corresponding banks, European corresponding banks, in order for that money to be utilized
01:23in payment for humanitarian goods to be given to Iran.
01:27It is still the case. No money has moved yet.
01:30Whether the U.S.-Iran talks happen, the reality of the navigation in the Strait of Hormuz
01:36is what dictates the urgency of the talks, with Iran digging in on its position that it controls the waterway.
01:43Despite the uncertainty over when senior U.S. and Iranian officials might meet face-to-face,
01:49Qatar says the technical negotiations are still moving forward.
01:52For Doha, keeping those talks alive may be just as important as preventing another escalation in the Strait of Hormuz.
01:59Mohamed Alashi, your news, Doha.
02:06More than 1 million undocumented migrants in Spain have sought legal status under a scheme
02:12that has defied a wider European crackdown on irregular immigration,
02:17the government said on Tuesday, the final day for submissions.
02:21The vast scheme was predicted to benefit around 500,000 people,
02:25mostly from Latin America, when the left-wing government launched it in April.
02:30The more than 1 million publications presented, my dear minister,
02:36show up to what point was necessary this recognition of rights and responsibilities.
02:42Because behind each request, there is a person who already lives among us,
02:47who wants to be part of our society with all his rights,
02:51and again, I will say it again, with all his duties.
02:55Sanchez has long argued that immigrants are needed to sustain the economy,
03:00the welfare state, and pensions amid Spain's aging population and depopulation in rural regions.
03:07The number of applications submitted does not necessarily indicate
03:11how many migrants will secure their legal status.
03:14Applicants must prove they have a clean criminal record
03:17and spent at least five consecutive months in Spain before January 1st.
03:22The authorities have three months to process their paperwork
03:25and decide whether to issue a work and residence permit only valid in Spain.
03:35A bomb blast at a residential building in Monaco has seriously injured three people.
03:41The explosive device detonated at the entryway of a residence near the French border,
03:46severely injuring a couple in their 50s or 60s, along with a 13-year-old.
03:52Sources close to the investigation have identified the victims
03:55as the sanctioned Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Iyer-Molayyev and his family.
04:00Iyer-Molayyev has previously targeted by Ukrainian state sanctions
04:04for his alleged commercial ties to Russia.
04:08Monaco's leader Prince Albert II condemned the bombing as an odious act,
04:12confirming that all national security services have been mobilized.
04:19Cross-border surveillance footage shows the unidentified suspect
04:22fleeing the scene on foot into neighboring France,
04:25sparking a joint manhunt by French national police and Monaco authorities.
04:38A major emergency response was launched by the fire brigade,
04:43rescue teams and the police following the collapse of a four-story apartment building
04:48in the Petralona area of Athens.
04:50Although initial reports suggested that four people were trapped inside,
04:54authorities later confirmed that all residents of the building were located in France.
05:24The relevant authorities are investigating the cause of the collapse,
05:28as there are reports that constructions are not safe.
05:30and the construction work being carried out on a neighboring building may have affected
05:33the structural stability of the adjacent property.
05:37Authorities have already taken five individuals into custody for questioning,
05:42including the owner of the building under construction,
05:44the contractor and the engineer responsible for the project.
05:49It was the day in the 3rd of the city of Athens,
05:52after a disaster in the 4th of the city of Athens.
05:54With the authorities and the authorities,
05:57the authorities and the authorities,
05:58the authorities were the economic workers
06:00that were directly located in the city of Athens.
06:03The authorities mentioned that the city of Athens
06:06had been closed in the morning,
06:08and the authorities had been closed.
06:11From the Athenagia to Euronews,

06:19Scandinavian airline SAS has placed the biggest order in its history.
06:25It has committed to buying as many as 40 twin-hale aircraft
06:29from Airbus A330 family to renew and expand its long-haul fleet.
06:34The jets carry a combined value above 8.75 billion euros,
06:40but SAS is likely to have negotiated a discount
06:43for this large bulk purchase.
06:45The order includes new, more fuel-efficient A330-900,
06:50part of the upgraded A330-EO range,
06:53and the older A330-300.
06:56First deliveries are expected from the early 2030s.
07:00The decision is a notable victory
07:02for the European manufacturer Airbus
07:05over its U.S. rival Boeing.
07:07The Airbus deal follows an order last year
07:10for 55 MRR regional jets.
07:16The Chief of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde justified
07:19the rise on June 11 to ward off real inflationary pressures
07:23and said it wasn't just a mere insurance hike.
07:26Speaking at the ECB's annual forum on Monday,
07:29Lagarde pointed to the end of an era in monetary policy,
07:32referring to bond buying and emergency lending over the past decade.
07:36Our analysis showed that holding interest rates constant
07:40would have left inflation north of 2% in 27 and 28.
07:46This was a decision that was based on what we had,
07:49what we saw in front of us.
07:51Lagarde is calling it going back to basics.
07:54When the environment reversed and Russia cut off our access to natural gas,
07:59we responded with a conventional instrument used in unconventional ways.
08:05But in today's environment,
08:07monetary policy now finds itself in a different position.
08:11We no longer need to reach for unconventional instruments.
08:15While we have them at hand,
08:17we can now focus on stabilizing inflation
08:20with policy rates as our primary tool.
08:24According to Lagarde, the bar for the next move is simple.
08:27Let the data decide.
08:28The ECB no longer wants investors guessing its next step.
08:32It wants them to understand how policymakers will react to new data
08:35in a world where certainty has become rare.
08:45Europe's climate change-fueled heatwave has added more than 700 million euros
08:50to electricity bills in France and Germany alone in just one week,
08:54according to new analysis by environmental NGO 350.org.
09:00Heatwaves drive up demand for cooling
09:02and with increased electricity consumption comes higher prices.
09:06Comparing June 21st to 27th against a baseline the previous week,
09:11the analysis shows that electricity prices rose
09:15by an estimated 371 million euros in Germany
09:18and 360 million euros in France.
09:22The analysis, which is based on EU electricity price and load data,
09:27also revealed price spikes were particularly acute in the evenings.
09:31For example, in Germany, power prices last week
09:34rose from 86 euros per megawatt-hour at midday to 566 euros megawatt-hour at 8pm.
09:41This is particularly because the supply of cheap solar energy dips when the sun goes down,
09:47but temperatures and cooling demand remain high, especially during tropical nights
09:51when the temperature does not fall below 20 degrees Celsius.
09:55These extra costs come on top of elevated oil and gas prices due to the ongoing crisis
10:01in the Strait of Olmo's shipping route.
10:08The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump
10:14that aimed to end automatic birthright citizenship for children born on American soil.
10:18During arguments in April, both conservative and liberal justices questioned the order's legality
10:24in a momentous case that was magnified by Trump's unprecedented attendance in the courtroom.
10:30Following the decision, Trump wrongly suggested that Congress could easily address it with legislation.
10:36It would take a constitutional amendment to overcome the decision.
10:39We have, you know, it's become a tourism, birthing tourism they call it, you know, a trend
10:45where people would just come and you just come onto the soil and have your child
10:49and then they're able to avail themselves of the welfare state and everything else.
10:53It's been abused.
10:55I'm sure the conclusion from this opinion is going to be that you've got to amend the Constitution to fix
11:00that.
11:01As we all know, it's a big challenge to amend the Constitution.
11:04It's only happened 27 times in our whole nation's history.
11:07The 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, states that all people born on American soil
11:13are automatically made citizens.
11:16Soon after he began his second term, Trump signed the order
11:19declaring that children born to parents who were in the country illegally or temporarily
11:23would no longer be entitled to citizenship.
11:26The restrictions had already been blocked by several lower courts and had not taken effect anywhere in the U.S.
11:32who offend the children.
