00:00A wave of overnight Russian missile and drone strikes killed at least 15 people and wounded
00:05dozens across Kyiv and the surrounding region.
00:10Trump says a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could arrive as early as Wednesday
00:15but warned Iran that it will get hit very hard if it fell through.
00:20Extreme heat and environmental hazards are putting severe pressures on Southern Europe,
00:24toxicity alerts in Spain, reactor shutdowns in France and a rising death toll in Greece.
00:30A wave of overnight Russian missile and drone strikes killed at least 15 people and wounded
00:35dozens across Kyiv and the surrounding region, marking one of the heaviest attacks on the
00:39Ukrainian capital in recent weeks.
00:42Regional authorities confirmed 14 fatalities in the suburbs and one in Kyiv urban center
00:47after residential buildings and warehouses were struck.
00:50At the same time, Ukrainian forces launched extensive strikes deep inside Russian territory.
00:56Russian officials reported destroying 107 drones over the Tula region alone,
01:00where falling debris sparked fires at facilities belonging to e-commerce firm Wildberries.
01:07As air defenses were tested on both sides of the border,
01:10UN monitors warned civilian casualties have reached their highest level
01:13since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022.
01:17In response to the escalating aerial bombardment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pressed
01:22U.S. counterpart Donald Trump for licenses to produce Patriot missile interceptors domestically,
01:28warning that air defense shortages directly enable further Russian strikes.
01:36U.S. President Donald Trump said that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could come as soon as
01:42Wednesday, but warned Iran that it would get hit very hard if the talks fell through.
01:47Transit of the waterway, a key maritime corridor for global oil and gas shipping,
01:52has been a sticking point in the talks and led to renewed fighting despite a ceasefire agreed in April.
01:59Iran has tightened its grip on Hormuz and wants to take control of the Strait and charged tolls,
02:04powers it did not exercise before the war began on 28 February.
02:08Trump, speaking to reporters in California, said that negotiators had a quote,
02:14very good day, a change in tone from earlier threats he had directed at the Islamic Republic.
02:20The Strait's going to be open very soon or they're going to get hit very hard and then the Strait's
02:25going to be open. And we were going to a tremendous attack, the biggest since World War II.
02:30And they called me and said, very politely, please, can we talk? Can we talk? They didn't want.
02:36And I said, yes, we can talk. Let's get it done. Finally, let's get it done.
02:42Iran has, meanwhile, doubled down on its claims that no talks are ongoing with the U.S.,
02:47even as Trump insisted they were happening. Qatar, which has been mediating the talks between Iran
02:53and Oman, said there were no direct talks between Washington and Tehran, but acknowledged that
02:58diplomatic efforts are underway. U.S. media reporting on the potential deal said it would include a 60
03:06day safe passage arrangement in the Strait between Iran and Oman.
03:09Iran. Extreme heat and environmental hazards are putting severe pressure on emergency services
03:17across southern Europe. In Spain's Zamora province, emergency crews responded to a major fire at the
03:23Zaresa waste treatment plant in the Roales del Palo. Dispatchers received nearly 40 emergency calls
03:29prompting authorities to issue toxic cloud warnings and close a lane on the A11 motorway. Beyond the
03:35industrial emergency in Spain, severe heat across France forced nuclear operator EDF to shut down
03:41three reactors at the Shoes and Katenon plants due to low river water levels. Hungary's only nuclear plant
03:49is also under strain due to low water levels in the Danube. The environmental crisis deepened further
03:55south in Greece, where senior meteorologist Theodor Generos declared the current wildfire disaster
04:00one of the worst in a decade. The fires claim five lives over the past fortnight, with Copernicus
04:06data confirming over 12,000 hectares of land burned in a single week. Officials will conduct a
04:12comprehensive quantitative assessment once the fire season concludes.
04:23Spain's interior minister has raised the number of migrants who illegally crossed the border between
04:28Morocco and Souta during the recent migration crisis to 72,000. According to the government,
04:34around 70,000 people have already left Spanish territory, while efforts continue to manage
04:40those who remain in the enclave. After meeting with the European Union's interior ministers,
04:46Marlaska assured that the Schengen area was never at risk and defended Spain's response to the mass
04:51arrival of migrants.
04:57Ceuta has a special regime in Schengen since 1991, in the sense that no one can go out of Ceuta
05:09without a documental effective control, even the citizens of the European Union.
05:18The minister also denied that the National Intelligence Center had provided advance warning of a mass
05:24influx. He stated that had there been an alert, the government would have activated an emergency
05:30response plan. Delegations from Lebanon and Israel began a new round of direct talks in Rome on Tuesday
05:44to discuss Israel's phased withdrawal from the country's south and Hezbollah's disarmament.
05:50This week's negotiations are the seventh round of Washington-mediated talks since fighting started
05:55between Israel and the Lebanese militant group as part of the wider Middle East war with Iran.
06:01At negotiations in Washington in June, Israel and Lebanon agreed to a framework deal that
06:06involves the disarmament of Hezbollah, a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon's south,
06:11and the deployment of the Lebanese army to the region starting in test areas known as pilot zones.
06:18Hezbollah has not taken part in the talks and has opposed the framework deal.
06:22Observers say Israel's commitment to withdraw will also be tested when pilot zones are selected in
06:28areas fully under its occupation. Violence in Lebanon has decreased since the Lebanon-Israel deal,
06:36but Lebanon continues to report intermittent Israeli strikes and shelling as well as detonations
06:41and demolitions in southern villages.
06:53At the end of two days of controlled explosions during which 180 kilograms of explosives were used,
06:59authorities successfully destroyed that rock formation that had been diverting 85 percent of
07:04Danube's flow into a neighboring branch leaving only 50 percent to reach the Chernavoda nuclear power plant.
07:19Romania's Ministry of National Defense says that more than 100 military personnel took part in the
07:25special operation to demolish the Pujoia rock formation. All that remains now it is for authorities to load the
07:31resulting rock into two barges which will then be deliberately sunk alongside two other barges that will
07:36arrive already filled with stones. Authorities hope that these measures will raise the Danube's water
07:41level near Chernavoda nuclear power plant by up to 12 centimeters. For Euronews Romania, I'm Silvio Zhugago.
07:51Diplomatic relations between South America's two largest economies reached a sharp crisis
07:56after Brazil requested Argentina recall its ambassador and downgraded bilateral representation to charge the
08:02fair level. The retaliatory move followed a televised interview where Argentine President
08:07Javier Mille repeatedly called Brazilian counterpart Luis Inacio Lula da Silva corrupt and a convicted thief.
08:15Attempting to contain the escalating rift, presidential spokesperson Adrian Ravier downplayed the
08:21dispute with Argentina's largest trading partner, framing the tension as routine political and ideological
08:26differences. Javier Mille explicitly endorses Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in the upcoming presidential elections
08:34who also holds support from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration and the Israeli Prime Minister
08:39Benjamin Netanyahu.
08:45Three lions at the Tokyo Zoo have died from suspected heat stroke and others are under treatment,
08:52a spokesperson said on Tuesday as the big cat struggle with the high humidity in the Japanese capital.
09:00One three-year-old female died on Tuesday, another aged 11 died Friday and the third aged 15 died on
09:08Sunday.
09:10Added to the news. Animal rights group, BETA said the lions named Mookie,
09:11In fact, there were three dinosaurs of the lion at the end that regalers were killed in 17 years.
09:23Followed by the reaction of the lion's death.
09:25The lion is tego, that they are lost and died of the lion.
09:26Their existence of death was died of ten are to 50.
09:28The lion was tired of death due to death.
09:33Reacting to the news, animal rights group, BETA said the lions named Mookie
09:38Ichiko and Luana were, quote, born, lived and died in confinement, deprived of everything that makes
09:47life worth living for a wild animal. Japan sweltered through its hottest summer on record
09:53last year, and parts of the country have hit 40 degrees Celsius in recent weeks, causing thousands
09:59of people to get hospitalized. The Tama Zoological Park said the lion enclosure has been closed to
10:06the public until further notice. Apple has launched a fresh legal challenge against the UK government
10:15after it demanded access to its customers' encrypted data. The latest comes months after it withdrew
10:21security features for UK users, rather than comply with an earlier version of the same request.
10:27The US technology firm filed a complaint with the Investigatory Powers Tribunal,
10:32an independent court that examines claims of unlawful conduct by UK intelligence services.
10:38At the heart of the dispute is whether the UK government can force Apple to give it access
10:43to iCloud data that is so strongly encrypted that even Apple claims it cannot read it.
10:49The UK backed down on its original demand last year following a heated dispute with Washington.
10:55That first order, issued under the Investigatory Powers Act in January 2025,
11:00sought access to UK and US customers' data alike. The scope was subsequently narrowed with London
11:08instead issuing a technical capability notice, known as a TCN, limited to UK users only later in 2025,
11:16which Apple is now fighting. TCNs compel companies to hand law enforcement agencies
11:22information for cases including terrorism and child sexual abuse, even where that data is protected
11:27by encryption. Apple has long insisted that it will not build any form of compelled access into its
11:33products. The company argued that any such tool, once built, poses a security risk to all users,
11:41not just those targeted by a specific request.
