00:00Iran's Revolutionary Guards say they destroyed critical Amazon data infrastructure in Bahrain
00:05and targeted U.S. defense assets in response to Washington's latest attacks.
00:10Two French firefighters died during a building fire that broke out near Bordeaux Airport.
00:15Nearly 200,000 hectares had burned across the European Union by mid-July.
00:20The bid to have the D-Day landing beaches listed as UNESCO World Heritage has entered a decisive phase.
00:31Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed on Tuesday that its forces had destroyed the central data infrastructure of Amazon in Bahrain
00:38using several cruise missiles.
00:40The Iranian military branch also claimed that the same attacks targeted U.S. air defense systems and radar installations in
00:47the Gulf Arab country.
00:48Bahrainian U.S. officials, as well as high-ranking representatives of Jeff Bezos' Amazon have yet to respond to the
00:55claims.
00:55The reported strikes come as direct military confrontations between Iran and the United States continued for a tenth consecutive day,
01:03despite a fragile ceasefire being in place and diplomatic efforts.
01:07Iran's recent attacks have extended beyond the Gulf region over the past few days targeting Jordan,
01:13where the U.S. maintains true presence, killing three service members in an attack.
01:18U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to make Iran, quote,
01:21pay many times over for its killing of the U.S. troops.
01:25Washington has in turn continued to target Tehran's military sites and assets,
01:30and have even reportedly launched strikes on the Darkoven nuclear power plant.
01:34The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said it's reviewing reports of the attack,
01:38but has not yet issued an independent assessment of the incident.
01:46A Lebanese military convoy deployed Tuesday in a southern village partially occupied by Israeli troops.
01:53As part of a framework agreement reached between the two countries last month,
01:57the U.S. announced on Monday the beginning of operations in three villages,
02:01part of the so-called pilot zone.
02:03In one of the villages, Lebanese soldiers will operate near an Israeli-occupied area.
02:08The mayor says he's concerned for the safety of his town,
02:12given the nearby prisons of Israeli soldiers.
02:15He's waiting for the Lebanese army to tell locals whether it is safe to check on their homes.
02:45The Lebanese army urged the residents of the village not to return before the security situation.
02:50The situation is calm.
02:52However, an Israeli military official said withdrawal of Israeli troops had not yet started.
02:58The deployment comes as Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun meets with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.
03:09An LPG tanker sailing across the Black Sea toward a Ukrainian port caught fire off the coast of Romania.
03:17Romania's president said that the incident was most likely linked to Russia's war in Ukraine.
03:23The ship was carrying more than 3,790 tons of propane.
03:29It had departed from the port of Alexandria in Egypt and was heading to the Ukrainian port of Renni,
03:36situated on the Danube River.
03:38The vessel was carrying a crew of 17 members.
03:42Three of them required emergency medical care.
03:45In Ukraine, a Russian drone killed three people in a residential neighborhood in Sumy,
03:51according to the regional governor.
03:53Russian forces carried out a series of strikes on the city
03:56and attacked firefighters as they attempted to extinguish a fire.
04:01In Russia, a fire broke out during the night near a thermal and power station in the city of Lipetsk.
04:11Two firefighters died on Tuesday during an intervention against a building fire that broke out near Bordeaux Airport.
04:18According to the airport management, the fire first broke out in a green area outside the grounds near the parking
04:23lot.
04:24The flames caused major air traffic disruption, average delays of 65 minutes, and the suspension of landings.
04:30The incident comes as wildfires have burned more than 42,000 hectares of land in France by mid-July 2026,
04:38surpassing the previous record set in 2022.
04:42Wildfires during the first two weeks of July alone burned nearly 50,000 hectares,
04:46hitting the Fontaine Bleu Forest near Paris, as well as southern France and Corsica.
04:51As you can see from the smoke behind me, firefighters are continuing to battle wildfires across southern France today.
05:00And it comes as a fresh outbreak of fires have taken place here in Provence and also in the Côte
05:06d'Azur.
05:07Here in Cotignac, we've been issued evacuation orders for part of the village,
05:12and that follows new fires in the areas of La Tourne, Ponte Vides, and down in Les Arques.
05:18Overhead, we're seeing helicopters as well as planes carrying those water buckets,
05:24trying to assist putting out those fires.
05:27fires, and this also comes as temperatures continue to rise right across Europe.
05:33Meanwhile in Spain, the La Mierla fire in Guadalajara is improving after burning nearly 30,000 hectares,
05:40though major fires in Ejulve and Breva remain active.
05:44In Almeria, recovery work has begun after the Los Gallardos fire killed 13 people and burned more than 7,000
05:50hectares.
05:51Violent fires also raged in Sicily, near Castronova di Sicilia, where blazes have flared up once again.
05:59Planes and helicopters dump water to take control of the situation.
06:05Across the wider region, Ephesus recorded that nearly 200,000 hectares had burned across the European Union by mid-July
06:132026,
06:14driven by a severe drought following a historic June heatwave.
06:24French MPs and senators voted on a final compromise tax for the bill and banned social media for under-15
06:30-year-olds on Tuesday.
06:32French MPN reporter for the bill Laura Miller said that French policymakers wanted to impose much stricter constraints on digital
06:39platforms
06:39because EU law had restricted their room for manoeuvre.
06:55Other EU countries, such as Greece, Slovenia and Sweden, are also planning to restrict social media to minors.
07:02Spain is considering banning social media for children under-16 and Austria for children under-14.
07:08In parallel, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, called earlier this month for phased and gradual
07:15access
07:16for different age ranges to digital platforms.
07:19If we start with the youngest, toddlers, no screens at all.
07:24Then children under the age of 13 access to social media only under the supervision of parents, caregivers, teachers and
07:35time limited.
07:37And then from the age of 13 on, and that's very important, there's a gradual access depending on the proof
07:45given by the platforms
07:48that they are age-appropriate and safe for teenagers.
07:52Ponder Leyen said the European Commission would present a proposal on the matter after summer.
07:59A U.S. federal judge has approved a 1.3 billion euro settlement between Antropic and a group of authors
08:05closing the largest copyright class in U.S. history.
08:08The deal was approved on July 20 in San Francisco, rejecting objections from some authors who argued the payout was
08:15too small.
08:15The settlement, first proposed last September, resolves a class action filed by some writers in August 2024 who accused Antropic
08:23of using pirated books to train its Claude chatbot.
08:27Under the deal, authors and publishers will each receive $3,000 from an estimated 500,000 works covered by the
08:34settlement.
08:35The case followed a June 2025 ruling which found that training Claude on lawfully acquired books qualified as fair use,
08:43but that storing millions of pirated books in a central library did not.
08:47As Antropic welcomed the resolution, the plaintiff's lead attorney described it as the largest publicly known copyright recovery in history,
08:56while dozens of similar cases continue against OpenAI, Google and Meta.
09:06These beaches in northwestern France are a site of global historical significance.
09:12That is why this stretch, just over 80 kilometers long, could be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in
09:20the coming days.
09:21It was here that more than 150,000 men from some 15 countries landed on June the 6th, 1944.
09:30More than 4,000 soldiers lost their lives that day, but the Allied landings represented a decisive battle in the
09:37liberation of Europe from Nazism.
09:39The nomination covers the five D-Day beaches, Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword, as well as La Pointe du Hoc
09:47and the Artificial Harbor at Aromanche-les-Bains.
09:51So, this site, with its artificial port, is on the list that is proposed to the UNESCO sites.
10:00In addition to the landing sites, because we consider that with the role that he played is very important,
10:06we can consider that it is the equivalent of a landing site, even if the troops did not directly beach
10:12on the beach, but traveled through this port.
10:15This project, launched in 2008, could also generate significant economic benefits for the Normandy region.
10:24A 15% increase in tourism is expected if the designation is awarded.
10:29Nearly 1.8 million visitors traveled to the D-Day beaches last year.
10:35UNESCO will meet from July the 24th to the 27th in South Korea to reach its decision.
10:44Two tourists were injured on Tuesday morning after a knife attack at the entrance to the Acropolis archeological site, one
10:51of the busiest tourist spots in Athens.
10:55According to the Hellenic police, the incident occurred at around 8 a.m. local time, when a man attacked a
11:00couple of Greek-American tourists.
11:03As a result of the attack, the woman sustained a minor injury to her arm, while the man suffered a
11:09more serious wound to his leg.
11:11Officers from the Dias Motorcycle Unit arrived immediately at the scene and bandaged the injured leg to stem the bleeding,
11:17before an ambulance administered first aid and transported the tourists to the hospital.
11:23Shortly before the attack, the emergency police hotline had received a call about a man holding a knife and threatening
11:29passerby at the southern entrance, opposite the Acropolis Museum.
11:34The asylum was subsequently overpowered and arrested by officers from the Athens Police Directorate,
11:39as authorities investigate the circumstances and work to determine his motives.
11:44The action was subsequently overpowered and sortirby at the Confederate border,
11:46Thean Impossible Project
11:47The Analyst was now in the same place.
11:47The American police was beaten up to the University ofthunders,
11:48The American police were so excited and the same place.
11:48The American police were here.
