00:01Aid workers have warned that the aftermath of the earthquake in Venezuela last week has
00:07developed into a major medical crisis. Meanwhile, international rescue teams continue search
00:13efforts as many remain trapped under the rubble. One non-governmental digital database where
00:20families can register missing loved ones showed over 40,000 people still unaccounted for as
00:26of Wednesday.
00:56There are more than 4,000 officials and international brigadiers that are still in the disaster zone,
01:03in the disaster zone, looking for living people.
01:08Thousands of displaced Venezuelans are sleeping in crowded shelters or outside without access

01:31Russian forces launched a massive overnight bombardment of Kyiv using strike drones and missiles,
01:37killing at least 10 people and wounding at least 56, including children, as explosions echoed across
01:43the capital. The heavy barrage affected five districts of the wider region, with regional governor
01:49Mikola Kalashnik confirming coordinated strikes involving a wave of ballistic missiles and drones.
01:56The assault followed President Volodymyr Zelensky cutting short an official diplomatic visit to Dublin on Wednesday,
02:02after intelligence reports explicitly warned that Moscow was preparing an impending large-scale strike on the capital.
02:10The latest escalation comes as Kyiv steps up its own long-range drone campaign deep inside Russian territory,
02:17increasingly targeting energy infrastructure and border-sector military installations.
02:22Moscow also said its air defenses had intercepted hundreds of drones from Ukraine in recent days.

02:40Bulgaria's Deputy Prime Minister Atanas Pekhanov told Euronews ahead of the annual EU budget conference in Brussels,
02:47where member states are set to fight for cash.
02:49German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called the EU long-term budget unaffordable
02:54and demanded a €400 billion cut, particularly for fundings of cohesion and agriculture.

03:06It makes the infrastructure that then enables firms across Europe to extend,
03:11to get new markets, to get new consumers.
03:13It also creates new opportunities for European industries.
03:17On another note, Pekhanov gave an assessment of his country's economic outlook,
03:21six months after Bulgaria joined the Eurozone on the 1st of January.
03:26In the longer term, the euro will bring benefits to Bulgaria,
03:29strengthen creditworthiness and strengthen credit ratings,
03:34more trust in our country on financial markets.
03:36In the short run, however, there have been some, I would say, pressures,
03:40pressures on the inflation side.
03:42Unfortunately, with the start of the war in Iran, this also contributed.
03:46One could say that some firms coordinated and increased their prices.

04:10over alleged anti-competitive practices related to the company's Android operating system.

04:22had abused its dominant market position, particularly by using pre-installation agreements with the phone makers
04:29to give an unfair advantage to its search engine and Chrome browser.
04:33An initial fine of €4.3 billion was imposed, but the EU's general court reduced this to €4.1 billion
04:41in 2022.

05:48and the right of employees to get a sick note by telephone will be scrapped with the aim of reducing
05:52worker absentee days.
