00:01At Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, a makeshift memorial is drawing residents who have come to pay tribute to the victims of
00:08Saturday's attack near the city's annual Pride event.
00:11As the city copes with the aftermath, some have expressed frustration that authorities failed to prevent the tragedy.
00:18The suspect, Abdul Balut, who killed one woman and injured 29 others as he plowed a van through a crowd
00:24before slashing away at people with a machete, was already known to authorities.
00:30I think it's already a little, that the state didn't really react, because they already had to do with a
00:37crime.
00:40And they had already had to do with it.
00:43Prosecutors said the suspect had previous convictions for causing bodily harm, extortion and robbery and had attempted to join the
00:51IS group in Syria.
00:53Politicians across the political spectrum were quick to denounce the attack and call for tougher measures against extremists.
01:00At the same time, members of Berlin's LGBTQ community have warned against allowing the far right to exploit the tragedy.
01:07It's just that the fears and fears will be taken seriously.
01:12It's been used for years, the queer community, but also the queer people, always used to use if you can
01:17feel hate against foreigners or migrants or the Islam or anything else.
01:24And that you also listen to when we're not just in focus on the cause of this attack, but also
01:30when we're just so loud and make our mouth open.
01:34Saturday's attack marked the first time Berlin's LGBTQ community has been targeted in such a way in a city long
01:41known for its openness.
01:46More than 320,000 people have been forced to flee their homes across France and Spain as a series of
01:53wildfires continue to wreak havoc across parts of southern Europe.
01:57In southwestern France, a fire is currently still raging in the Gironde area near Bordeaux with flames as close as
02:0415 kilometers from the major city.
02:07Evacuees are being housed in makeshift shelters and exhibition centers and sport halls across the region.
02:13Thousands of firefighters are still working to contain the blaze.
02:17In Spain, some of the fires near Madrid were slowly contained.
02:21Some evacuees who had fled reportedly were allowed to return home on Monday.
02:25In the coastal region of Valencia, however, some 15,000 people were evacuated as a new fire broke out.
02:32A man was killed in Manises, marking Spain's first recorded death in the latest fires.
02:38According to weather forecasts, temperatures are expected to rise dramatically in most of the affected regions over the next few
02:45days.
02:46Scientists warn that drought combined with heatwaves, which are both intensified by human-caused climate change, are creating the conditions
02:56for fires to spread rapidly.
03:02New clashes between police and protesters who opposed the ambitious tourism project of Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner in
03:09Albania broke out in Tirana.
03:11For the 57th day in a row, protesters gathered in the Albanian capital to express their opposition to what they
03:18call an environmental crime.
03:20They threw eggs and tomatoes at police officers, who in turn made arrests.
03:25People are tired of the current corrupt system in Albania, and they want change.
03:31People have seen how things have gone for us, not just because of strategic investments, but also because of everyday
03:37life in Albania.
03:39All these people here, they're not ignorant. They know what's actually happening in Albania.
03:43And they're tired of corruption. It's that simple.
03:47Rule of law in Albania. That's all we want.
03:50The protesters accuse the government of selling off the country's wealth and of being mirrored in scandals.
03:57At the same time, they accuse the government of attempting to control the judiciary and of creating a legal framework
04:04that serves the personal interest of government officials.
04:08The Albanian government maintains that the tourism plan aims to revitalize the wider region, attract high-end tourism, and contribute
04:17to the country's bid for EU membership.
04:25More than 50 military, industrial entities and actors involved in the production of Russia's long-range drones have been targeted
04:34in the 21st package of sanctions against Russia.
04:37It includes over 30 designations targeting the manufacturing and supply network of the long-range Garpiya drones, as Ukraine has
04:46faced immense pressure from long-range attack drones, a senior EU official said.
04:51Companies producing warheads, rocket boosters, catapultes, and other parts necessary for the deployment of long-range weapons are included.
05:01The sanctions package also targets Russia's rival to the Starlink satellite system, known as the Razvet.
05:08The low-Earth orbit satellite system, Razvet, produced by Russian aerospace company Bureau 1440, aims to provide Russians with high
05:18-speed internet access.
05:19Sixteen of these satellites were first launched into orbit in March 2026, with the aim to have 250 in orbit
05:27in 2027 and 900 by 2035.
05:30This measure could weaken Russia's battlefield abilities, as Moscow's access loss to Starlink in February has had serious implications on
05:39its battlefield performance.
05:44A man suspected of attacking and wounding three women with two kitchen knives on Monday morning in Paris was arrested
05:51by an off-duty police officer, authorities said.
05:54The horrific incident took place in the northwest of the city.
05:58The three victims aged 19, 24, and 36 are in hospital, and one of them is reportedly pregnant.
06:05According to the Interior Ministry, two of the women are in critical condition.
06:09— L'auteur a été interpellé par un policier hors service de la préfecture de police. Encore une fois, évidemment,
06:15je lui rends hommage. C'est vrai que courageux.
06:19Il n'a donné qu'une identité déclarative. Il n'y a pas de... Nous n'avons pas de documents
06:24à l'appui de cette identité déclarative.
06:26Et donc, il faudra rester très prudent sur les mobiles de cet acte extrêmement violent, évidemment.
06:34Évidemment, je condamne fermement. Et l'individu, nous dit-on, tient des propos incohérents.
06:39Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said that the attacker made incoherent statements and reportedly claimed to have been sent by God
06:46to kill women.
06:47The police initially suspected a terrorist attack, but are now leaning towards the theory that this was an assault carried
06:53out by a mentally unstable individual.
06:59Ukraine fired hundreds of drones towards Russia on Monday, targeting export and energy facilities as it continues its campaign to
07:07put pressure on Russia's war capabilities.
07:10President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his forces had struck an export terminal in the western Rostov region, as well as oil
07:17facilities in the Yaroslavl and Udmursha regions far from the front line.
07:22Russian officials said five people were killed in the strikes on Rostov, including a child.
07:28Ukraine has escalated its retaliatory strikes on Russia in recent months, which it says aimed to weaken Moscow's war machine
07:35and to force the Kremlin to negotiate an end to the fighting.
07:39Meanwhile, Russian strikes on Ukraine killed at least nine people over the past day, regional authorities reported.
07:45This includes two people who were killed in the Zaporizhia region, as Russian forces attacked 45 settlements near the front
07:52line.
07:53Last month was the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since April 2022, as Moscow ramped up its long-range strikes
08:00on towns and cities across Ukraine, according to the United Nations.
08:09Three people were killed and four others injured in a shooting on Sunday evening at a food festival in Seattle,
08:14Washington.
08:16Gunfire broke out around 6 p.m. local time at the Seattle Center during the annual Bite of Seattle event.
08:23Two victims died at the scene and a third died in hospital, while four remaining patients, including a child, are
08:30in stable condition.
08:32I'm one of the vendors inside, and we suddenly heard some firecrackers, what I thought were firecrackers, and people started
08:40yelling, shooter, shooter.
08:42And there was like a stampede of people just running.
08:45It was about to grab me a boba from the boba stand. I heard about, I'd say, close to 12.
08:49It sounded a little bit like firecrackers at first. It kept, it took like, I'd say, a half a second
08:54pause, and I heard a lot more.
08:56I realized it was semi-automatic, probably it sounded like a switch.
09:00According to police, the violence stemmed from two individuals shooting at each other.
09:05Officers recovered two weapons and arrested one suspect at the scene, while a search remains underway for a second suspect.
09:12As panic swept through the crowd, emergency services mobilized rapidly, evacuating thousands of attendees and securing the area.
09:24The share price of pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca rose in European trading on Monday, after the company reconfirmed its full-year
09:33outlook,
09:34following second quarter results that beat analyst expectations.
09:38Net profit climbed more than 2% to 2.2 billion euros in three months to the end of June,
09:45compared with the same period last year,
09:48driven by continued strong growth in sales of its cancer and rare disease medicines.
09:53Alongside its blockbuster medicines, AstraZeneca is investing in treatment for opacity.
10:00Results released in June showed that patients taking the highest dose of AstraZeneca's experimental weight loss pill,
10:07Elegoglipron lost an average of 10.5% of their body weight after 26 weeks, with weight loss reaching 11
10:16.8% after 36 weeks.
10:19If confirmed in further trials, the treatment could mark AstraZeneca's entry into the highly lucrative weight loss drug market,
10:26currently dominated by Denmark's Novono Disc and US-based Eli Lilly.
10:37A flash flood caused by heavy rain struck a tourist site in northwestern China on Sunday,
10:44killing 10 people and injuring 23, according to reports on state-run broadcasters.
10:50A mountain torrent triggered by short-term heavy rainfall trapped some campers at the location in Gensu Province,
10:57state broadcaster CCTV said.
11:00An earlier report by CCTV identified the location of the flash flood as the Shuang Ximen Scenic Area
11:07in the rugged, mountainous stretches of southern Gensu, roughly 1,200 km southwest of the capital Beijing.
11:16Shuang Ximen is known for its natural stone arches, alpine meadows and mountain streams.
11:22It is a popular summer camping spot.
11:25The injured have been sent to the hospital for treatment,
11:29and another 174 people have been rescued, CCTV said, citing local officials.
