00:00The United States launched a review of its military presence in Europe following through on announcements made by Trump following
00:06spats with several European leaders.
00:11Deepfakes and AI-generated content will have to be labeled as such from Sunday.
00:20The United States launched a review of its military presence in Europe on Monday following through on announcements made by
00:27President Trump months ago following spats with several European leaders.
00:32Trump said the measure was not related to disagreements with leaders, but rather a move designed to ensure Europe pushes
00:38forward and takes primary responsibility over its defense.
00:43That sentiment was again echoed by the U.S. Undersecretary of Defense, Elbridge Colby, who revealed that the initiative had
00:49begun in a post on X.
00:52U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth earlier warned European allies in a NATO meeting of defense chiefs in June of
00:58Washington's intentions to pull troops.
01:01It remains unclear where the U.S. will maintain personnel presence and where the slashes will come, as Hegseth vaguely
01:08noted at the time that, quote,
01:10some countries will fail and others will pass with flying colors.
01:15Germany, Spain and Italy, all whom Trump sparred with their leaders, were nations where the U.S. announced plans to
01:21reduce its presence.
01:23The review, which has not been detailed how long it will take, may announce further cuts,
01:28as the Trump administration continues to endorse a critical view of its European allies.
01:39Deepfakes and AI-generated content will have to be labeled as such from Sunday, as most of the EU AI
01:44Act rules start to apply.
01:46The Act requires providers and deployers of AI systems to inform users when they are interacting with an AI, such
01:53as a chatbot,
01:54or when they are exposed to deepfakes and AI-generated videos.
01:58Texts aiming to inform the public on general interest issues will also have to be labeled, if it was written
02:04by AI, without human editorial oversight.
02:07The goal is to allow users to immediately know whether the content is real or fake, to avoid misinformation, fraud,
02:15and to make AI more transparent and trustworthy.
02:17Concretely, AI providers will have to add machine-readable marks, such as watermarks, to ensure the detection of manipulated contents.
02:27The rules only target content created for professional reasons, not individuals using AI for personal use.
02:34AI systems have until the 2nd of December to adapt to the new rules.
02:38There are exemptions for artistic, creative, satirical, and fictional work.
02:43Some tech giants, such as TikTok and Meta, have already started labeling AI-generated content in anticipation of the new
02:51rules.
02:53A delegation of rabbis from across the Muslim world met Qatar's emir on Monday to offer condolences following the death
03:00of the father emir, Sheikh Hamid bin Khalifa al-Thani.
03:04After the meeting, Rabbi Mendy Hittrich told Euronews the delegation also wanted to thank Qatar's leadership for its support of
03:11the country's Jewish community.
03:13We felt very, very welcome at the emir's presence today.
03:18Sitting with the emir, hearing the words of comfort, hearing the words of friendship and feeling of brotherhood that has
03:26always existed.
03:27And sometimes, at times of war, at times of conflict, that is when friendship is tested.
03:33And being here, at this time, and showing that we support our friends, partners, here in Qatar.
03:42The Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic States represents rabbis serving Jewish communities in 18 Muslim-majority countries.
03:49Hittrich says those communities continue to demonstrate how Jews and Muslims can live side by side.
03:54He says moments of dialogue between leaders and communities remain essential to building trust across the region.
04:01Peace is not only between governments. Peace starts between people.
04:05And people-to-people relationship.
04:07If your heart is open, the person in front of you sees it.
04:12And it really depends on each and every one of us to really open our heart to the other.
04:18Speaking after his meeting with the emir, Hittrich said continued engagement between religious leaders and local communities
04:25offers hope for stronger Muslim-Jewish relations despite ongoing regional tensions.
04:34Elon Musk's social media app, X, began offering its X-Money banking service to all its U.S. Premium and
04:41Premium Plus subscribers on Monday.
04:43Enough young people to take care of the old people.
04:44X-Money allows users to make peer-to-peer payments, pay bills, and send checks.
04:48Well, there is.
04:49As it is in China.
04:50The service expands on features tested in late June, allowing customers to hold deposits at Cross River Bank with insurance
04:57up to $250,000.
05:01Offering an annual yield of up to 6%, X-Money aims to turn the platform into a Chinese WeChat-style
05:07everything app and compete with Venmo and Cash App.
05:11However, the high yield sparked scrutiny in Washington, where Senator Elizabeth Warren questioned how X-Money would generate revenue to
05:19pay the yield.
05:24Two-thirds of children across Western Europe were exposed to extreme temperatures in the first half of 2026.
05:31That is, according to a report by Child Rights Organization, Save the Children.
05:35This figure is three times the figure from the whole of last year.
05:39In Germany, the number of children exposed to extreme heat in the first six months of this year was larger
05:44than the last five years combined.
05:46And in the UK, 10 million children, which is more than the total for any single year in the past
05:5230 years, have been exposed to extreme heat during this same time frame.
05:57Children are particularly vulnerable to the heat as they are undergoing physical development and have lower capacity for body temperature
06:04regulation.
06:05This puts them at high risk of electrolyte imbalance, fever, respiratory and kidney disease.
06:11To reverse the trend, a climate expert at Save the Children urged governments to take urgent climate action and work
06:18to reduce emissions.
06:47Wildfires emit black carbon.
06:49It's sometimes called such.
06:51It's very small particles of partially combusted material.
06:55And we breathe them in.
06:57And then they're so tiny, some of them, that they can get through our lungs and into our bloodstream.
07:02So there's the obvious respiratory impact that can happen quite quickly.
07:07So asthma.
07:07But there's also longer term implications like lung cancer or once these particles get through into the bloodstream, they can
07:15affect every single organ, causing heart attacks, strokes and over the long term, even dementia.
07:37For people who live in the vicinity that won't be affected by the fire itself on the ground, but will
07:43be affected by the air pollution.
07:44What we need is for authorities to warn them that it's coming so that if they can move, they can
07:49choose to evacuate.
07:51And if they can't do that, to make sure that they stay inside, have air purification if they can, and
07:57really try and prevent breathing this pollution in.
08:15Climate change and air pollution and wildfires is a really vicious circle.
08:19We know that air pollutants are emitted at the same time as greenhouse gases.
08:23That's causing higher temperatures, which is causing more wildfires, which is causing more air pollution like black carbon that's then
08:30heating the planet more.
08:32So we really need to tackle other causes of air pollution as well as the wildfires to start bringing the
08:38temperatures down.
09:13So the area that they're in is roots more, which is part of the reason that they're critically endangered.
09:18And that's also because of habitat loss.
09:23So the area that they occur in is called Montseigne National Park.
09:29And the local area sources water from there for bottled water.
09:36It's really high quality spring water, which the newts love.
09:39And unfortunately, we also love.
09:42So they're losing a lot of the water out of these torrents.
10:01So their fertility rates are really low.
10:04And the hatching success is also very low.
10:08And so we've been doing a bit of tweaking of the husbandry with our partners, trying to figure out what's
10:14going on.
10:15And we have seen quite a bit of increased success rates over the past couple of years.
10:38They're in these fast flowing streams, but they're probably also living in the rocks, in the water table, and it's
10:46very hard to observe them.
10:47And that's probably where the eggs and the larvae are out of the way of predators and other threats.
11:19And we're driving in the bright.
11:22But unfortunately, it'll give you a little bit more.
11:23It's a nice piece of gum.
