00:00Ceuta once again experienced moments of tension this weekend following a rally against the
00:07government's handling of the massive influx of migrants into the Euro-African enclave.
00:13The rally, held this Sunday in Plaza de los Reyes in front of the government's delegation,
00:19was also attended by counter-protesters who came to denounce the presence of far-right
00:24activists in their city.
00:37The vast majority of those present made statements in defense of Ceuta's unity and Spanish identity.
01:04The police set up a cordon to separate the two sides and prevent a situation similar to
01:11the one involving Alves Perez, the MEP, convicted by SALF, a Spanish right-wing to far-right political
01:18party.
01:23For many migrants who crossed into Ceuta from Morocco last week and have yet to be deported,
01:29the journey has not ended at the border.
01:32Exhausted, thirsty and hungry, some find themselves waiting for assistance in the streets of the
01:37Spanish enclave.
01:38But as authorities manage the growing pressure, a local NGO says it is facing a more immediate
01:45challenge, keeping people fed.
01:49Durante la crisis, Ceuta está mostrando también su rostro más solidario.
01:53Esta ONG ha organizado una improvisada campaña de distribución de alimentos de primera necesidad.
01:59Han distribuido leche, pan, galletas o magdalenas.
02:03Durante las dos horas que ha durado la campaña, los responsables aseguran haber distribuido
02:08más de 2.000 raciones.
02:11Acaba de llegar un niño que le han dado una insolación, que está tirado en el suelo.
02:15No podemos dejar los que se mueren de hambre.
02:17Nosotros no somos políticos.
02:19Somos seres humanos, simplemente.
02:22Volunteers say their priority is not to debate migration policy, but to respond to what
02:28they describe as an immediate humanitarian need.
02:31It comes as the saints in Ceuta have also filled criticism of Spain's approach with the
02:37ponents arguing that policies perceived as too welcoming risk encouraging more people
02:43to make the journey.
02:45For Luna Blanca, the people arriving here are not just statistics.
02:51Los que se creen que nuestra labor supone un efecto de llamada están totalmente equivocados.
02:57El efecto de llamada, quien quiera que sea este efecto como sea este efecto, no se da
03:01porque nosotros debemos de comer.
03:03Nosotros debemos de comer a las personas que ya están aquí, a las personas que estamos
03:07viendo deambulando por la calle, a las personas que estamos viendo tiradas en la puneta,
03:12a personas que vienen arrastrándose en busca de agua o de un trozo de pan.
03:16Nosotros somos humanos ante todos.
03:19No podemos dejar que personas se mueran de hambre.
03:22Entonces, ¿dónde queda la humanidad?
03:23A mí qué nos importa a nosotros el efecto de llamada.
03:26¿Sabe cuál es el efecto de llamada?
03:28Son los bulos que corren por las redes sociales.
03:30Desde luego que es única.
03:32Esta es única porque nunca hemos vivido algunas anteriores, pero de tan magnitud como esta,
03:39no está a la vista.
03:42Estamos hablando de una llegada de unos 60, 70 mil personas en 18 kilómetros cuadrados.
03:53O sea, ya casi igualamos a la población de la ciudad.
03:57Entonces, la ciudad, las instituciones no están capacitadas para frente a esta invasión.
04:05La ONG asegura ser una de las más grandes de Ceuta.
04:09Tiene a 11 personas en plantilla y a unos 10 voluntarios.
04:12Desde el comienzo de la crisis, el pasado jueves asegura haber asistido a más de 4,000 personas.

04:58en Akhiposipovka, a small town on Rusia's Black Sea coast, according to local autoridades.
05:05Rusia attacked Ukraine with 181 long-range strike drones overnight from Sunday to Monday,
05:11according to the Ukrainian Air Force.
05:13It said air defenses jammed and intercepted 163 drones, but 14 caused damage at 13 locations.
05:20Meanwhile, a Russian strike on a warehouse in Kharkiv over the weekend destroyed 8 million books,
05:26slamming it as an attack on Ukrainian culture.
05:35The Italian Navy has boarded a Russian Shadow Fleet tanker in the international waters of Pantelleria,
05:41an island located between Sicily and Tunisia.
05:44The operation was carried out as part of an arms and oil trafficking monitoring mission under a European mandate.
05:51According to Italian authorities, the tanker's master initially did not cooperate with a request to stop for flag verification.
06:00A team of Italian military personnel then reached the vessel by helicopter from the ship town de Revelle and carried
06:07out checks.
06:08The tanker to Appaio, which is subject to European Union sanctions and belongs to the so-called Russian Shadow Fleet,
06:15is sailing under the declared flag of Cameroon.
06:18It left the port of Cotonou in Benin on the 16th of July bound for Istanbul.
06:23Italian authorities are now in the process of reviewing the information and documentation obtained during the inspection.
06:34Five water-dropping planes and another five helicopters took off at the first light on Monday
06:40to help hundreds of firefighters battling a major wildfire west of Athens,
06:46a day after a mid-air collision between two firefighting helicopters killed two crew members.
06:52The collision laid bare the danger at the most volatile front of Europe's wildfire emergency.
06:58The two crew members, one Greek and one Danish national, died on Sunday
07:04when their helicopter collided with another near the seaside area of Sata while tackling the blaze.
07:11The crew of the second helicopter, a Greek and a British national,
07:15were taken to a hospital where their injuries were reported to be light.
07:20Greek authorities say they have launched a preliminary investigation to determine the cause of the accident
07:26and the crash site has been cordoned off.
07:29Meanwhile, ground crews worked through the night creating fire breaks with earth-moving equipment
07:35to halt the spread of the fire that started Friday morning
07:38that Greek media describes as, quote, a titanic battle.
07:43The blaze raged through pine forest and scrubland through the weekend,
07:48whipped by gale force winds that often prevented water-dropping planes from operating.
07:53Foreign firefighting and helicopter crews are often deployed in Greece
07:57to help tackle wildfires during the country's hot and dry summers.
08:06Romania's military carried out a controlled explosion near the Danube River's Bala Canal.
08:12They did so in an effort to redirect water flow into the river's main channel
08:16and towards the state-owned Cernovoda power plant.
08:19It comes as Central Europe is gripped by extensive drought as a result of back-to-back heatwaves.
08:26Romania's defense minister warned that the plant could be completely shut down
08:30by Wednesday or Thursday this week due to the low water levels.
08:34Miercuri, joi, joi, în cel mai fericit caz,
08:39Centrala de la Cernovoda ar fi ajuns în procedură de a fi oprită.
08:43O zi de funcționare suplimentară a centralei de la Cernovoda
08:46e de vreo trei ori mai eficientă financiar decât costurile acestor operațiuni.
08:52Romanian authorities had already shut down one reactor unit at the plant.
08:56The country's energy sector has been under a state of alert since Friday,
09:00Acting Prime Minister Ilia Bologian declared a nation-state of alert in the energy sector on Friday
09:06and warned that the Danube's low water levels threatened the shutdown of the plant's second reactor.
09:15At 18 years old, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
09:19has officially launched his bid for a fourth term in office
09:22at the Workers' Party National Convention in Sao Paulo.
09:26Lula faces a fierce challenge from 45-year-old Senator Flavio Bolsonaro,
09:31who stepped in after his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro,
09:34was convicted over a 2023 coup attempt and placed under house arrest.
09:39Beyond domestic policy, the high-stakes campaign has turned into a geopolitical battleground.
09:46Lula has centred his platform on defending national sovereignty against U.S. trade tariffs
09:51and Donald Trump's Donro Doctrine,
09:53while Flavio Bolsonaro enjoys external backing from leaders like Argentine President Javier Mille
09:59and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
10:01At the same time, ethical controversies continue to cloud both major camps.
10:07Fresh inquiries were opened into Lula's son over corruption allegations,
10:11while former First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro launched a Senate bid amidst an internal power struggle with her stepson.
10:19Despite solid economic growth, voters remain deeply concerned over security and the cost of living.
10:24With the latest Datafolha poll putting Lula at 48% against Flavio Bolsonaro's 43%,
10:31Brazil faces another extremely tight and deeply polarized election.
