00:01Iran has insisted that the United States meet its demands before the Strait of Hamas reopens.
00:10Italy's Maloney and Denmark's Fredrickson have published a joint statement rejecting what they called uncontrolled migration.
00:24Iran has insisted that the United States meet its demands before the Strait of Hamas reopens.
00:30A Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Monday that it is up to the US to stop what he called illegal
00:35destructive actions.
00:37the United States has planned for the U.S. we have a particular organization about the U.S. in 1934.
00:46The U.S. has been ongoing for a lot of drug offenses in the U.S.-olatical problems
01:12Tehran has said it wants the U.S. to lift the blockade, pay compensation for months of
01:17war damage, lift economic sanctions and release Iran's frozen assets.
01:21For his part, U.S. President Donald Trump had warned on Sunday he was ready to let economic
01:26pressure mount against Iran, apparently backing away for more military strikes.
01:31Trump's comments come after Tehran set conditions over the weekend to reopen the Strait of
01:35Hummers.
01:36The waterway normally carries about one-fifth of global traded oil supplies.
01:40Its closure has become the war's most lasting consequence, driving global energy prices up.
01:46Meanwhile, Iran is holding separate talks with Oman over transit through the Strait, including
01:52potentially a temporary shipping corridor.
01:57Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a U.S. roadmap for the second phase
02:02of the Gaza peace plan, which militant group Hamas had already accepted.
02:06Following pushback from his far-right allies in the government and despite assurances Israel
02:11would not need to withdraw immediately, Netanyahu rejected the 15-point document presented by
02:17Trump's Board of Peace at the end of last month.
02:20He insisted that any withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza was conditional on Hamas being genuinely
02:27disarmed.
02:28The rejection came after Hamas announced its support for the plan and called on the United
02:33States to pressure Netanyahu not to obstruct the process for political and electoral reasons.
02:39The dispute presented a break from Trump by Netanyahu after the two also diverged over how to proceed
02:45with the war they started against Iran.
02:49Netanyahu faces pressure from his right-wing voters to reject the plan, which comes ahead
02:53of elections in October, where he is running even or trading in some polls.
03:02A Ukrainian drone strike killed at least 13 people in Russia's Tatarstan region, one of
03:08Kyiv's deadly single attacks of the war.
03:11Regional authorities said 75 people were wounded in Nizhenkamsk, an oil refining hub more than
03:171,000 kilometers from Ukraine.
03:19Meanwhile, Russian artillery killed five people in a village in the northeastern Kharkiv region,
03:25according to Ukrainian officials.
03:28Russia's defense ministry said it had shot down 456 Ukrainian drones overnight, while Ukraine
03:34said Russia launched 126 drones in its own attack.
03:40The latest strikes came as both sides escalated long-range attacks this year, causing a spike
03:45in civilian deaths, according to the United Nations.
03:49Ukraine has targeted Russian oil facilities almost daily in recent months.
03:54President Volodymyr Zelensky said the campaign was intended to force Vladimir Putin to the negotiating
03:59table, saying Russia's war would increasingly be felt at home.
04:08Italian Prime Minister Maloney and her Danish counterpart Frederiksen have published a joint statement
04:14rejecting what they called uncontrolled migration.
04:18The two leaders also vowed to protect what they called Europe's Christian cultural heritage
04:24and also called the third country return hubs for migrants.
04:28The only two female leaders in the EU, Frederiksen and Maloney, noted that despite coming from
04:35different political backgrounds, they are united by a shared commitment to defending Europe.
04:40The two leaders also raised concerns over rising crime rates, increased pressure on public
04:46services and an erosion of public trust as direct results of illegal migration.
04:52The joint statement came as no surprise, given Frederiksen and Maloney have emerged as the EU's
04:59most vocal advocates for a tougher migration policy, which was put under further strain last
05:05month after tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco rushed the Spanish autonomous city of
05:11Ceuta, the vast majority of whom have since returned home.
05:15Following the incident, Italy and Denmark led an open letter to the EU institutions,
05:20signed by a total of 22 member states calling for coordinated action to combat illegal migration.
05:32Western Europe experienced its hottest June-July on record as climate change feels a historic summer
05:39of heat, drought and wildfires across the region, the EU's climate monitor said on Monday.
05:45It comes as Europe, the world's fastest warming continent, saw the first two months of summer
05:51marked by successive heat waves and bone-dry conditions.
05:55Since it started in May, the intense heat has caused thousands of anticipated heat-related
06:01deaths, many wildfires and a protracted drought.
06:05According to Copernicus, levels of soil moisture were, quote, significantly lower than in July 2022,
06:12when the last severe drought gripped Western Europe.
06:16Meanwhile, a wildfire threatening residential areas in the central Albanian city of Kruja was
06:22brought under control on Sunday following firefighting efforts. The wildfire, about 38 kilometers north of
06:30the capital, Tirana, had been burning since Saturday afternoon. Authorities said three military
06:36helicopters had been assisting ground crews in efforts to bring the blaze under control, with firefighting
06:43operations continuing both on the ground and from the air, as steep terrain made access difficult.
06:53An Irish court has charged alleged cartel boss Daniel Kinahan with directing a criminal organization
07:00and remanded him in custody after his extradition from Dubai. The 49-year-old Irish man appeared in
07:07court after being flown back on Sunday evening on a government jet from Dubai on the basis of an
07:13arrest warrant issued by Ireland. Kinahan was alleged to be one of the leaders of a transnational group
07:19known as the Kinahan Organized Crime Group, or the Kinahan Cartel. He faces charges for directing the
07:27activities of the group between October 2015 and April 2017. His family members were linked to a
07:35bloody gang war with another Irish organized crime group that U.S. authorities in 2022 said had resulted
07:42in 18 murders. A reward of up to $5 million for information leading to the disruption of the Kinahan
07:49organization, or the arrest and conviction of Daniel Kinahan, was announced at the time. Irish police,
07:56with the help of authorities in the UK, Spain and the U.S., have been pursuing members of the Kinahan
08:02organization for the past decade.
08:09Six members of an armed group have been killed by Colombian forces according to the country's newly
08:15elected president, Abelardo de la Esprilla. In a statement, the far-right leader said the operation
08:23was intended to send a clear and forceful message to all criminals in Colombia.
08:28No hay lugar en el que se puedan esconder cuando el estado se decide. He dado instrucción
08:35precisa a la fuerza pública de adelantar todas las operaciones que sean necesarias, operaciones
08:41que estaban aguantadas por el anterior gobierno.
08:44De la Esprilla had vowed a major crackdown on criminal groups profiting from drug trafficking,
08:50a major part of his campaign. As Colombia has been experiencing its worst wave of violence
08:57of the past decade, De la Esprilla has pledged to intensify airstrikes against guerrillas and
09:03drug traffickers operating in Colombia.
09:12Ithaca, in the Ionian Sea, off the western coast of mainland Greece, lies far from the country's
09:16most popular tourist destinations. Despite its crystal clear waters and stunning coves, it
09:21has never been among Greece's established tourist hotspots. Now, however, following Christopher
09:26Nolan's The Odyssey, fans of Homer and Odysseus are adding Ithaca to their travel itineraries.
09:31I studied Greek when I was a child and I studied the Odyssey. I like Odysseus and this is my
09:41dream.
09:43The mayor of Ithaca expects tourism to increase following the Hollywood film, although he says
09:47the full impact will become clear during the next tourist season.
09:52There is no big visibility on the island because of the film. This program will come from the
09:59time of the time, where the film will be playing in the middle of the world and so they will
10:04go in the direction of the island.
10:07Local business owners, however, are already seeing signs that the island is gaining international
10:12recognition following the film's release.
10:32Souvenir shop owners have known for years what draws many visitors to Ithaca, none other than Homer
10:37and the Odysseus.
10:38They come because they are known for the
10:44and Omyr, who wrote the Odyssey and Omyr, who wrote the Odyssey. And I think that this is
10:49a lot more, but it is also a very beautiful island.
10:52The permanent exhibition light on Homeric Ithaca presents arqueological finds that link modern day
10:57with Odysseus legendary homeland.
11:00I think it's a good way to get more people interested in Homer and in mythology in general, but it's
11:07definitely not accurate to the original text.
11:13In this period of time, there will be an interesting discovery.
11:17We could tell the moon that they are young people, such as October or November or November
11:24and April, that are usually a quiet mrs.
11:27And again it will kind of realize that this is the interior of the Holland's band
11:31on the first stage, but the interior of the European building is Aminus.
