00:01More than half of Europe's population will be hit by another heatwave,
00:06with the thermometer climbing to over 30 degrees Celsius.
00:10It comes as once again the continent faces soaring temperatures
00:14following back-to-back heatwaves in recent months.
00:17The most intense heat is expected in Western and Southern Europe,
00:21with France, Italy and Spain among the hardest hit regions.
00:26But the heatwave also extends towards the Balkans, especially Greece and the Adriatic coast.
00:33And in the United Kingdom, the government will hold an emergency COBRA meeting
00:38in response to the extreme heat.
00:40It will mark the nation's second meeting of its sort this year.
00:45Scientists have blamed the growing heatwaves on human-caused climate change.
00:49Europe is the world's fastest-warming continent.
00:52The repeated heatwaves have fuelled widespread drought and intense wildfires this year.
01:01Germany has approved a draft law to reform the legal framework governing the intelligence services.
01:09The aim is to improve efforts to combat terrorism and extremism.
01:13Nina Walken, Chief of Staff to the Chancellor, says she is worried about the future of Germany and its democracy.
01:20We are constantly trying to fight hybrid threats of foreign forces.
01:26It is a real, it is a very acute threat.
01:29It is a threat for our free society, our value, our security, and so on.
01:34And so on, what our country is in its fundamental.
01:37And now, it must be objective to keep us,
01:39we have to rely on our security in many areas to ensure that our security is provided by our partners.
01:49In future, the authorities are to be allowed to intervene actively.
01:54For example, in response to cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns targeting Germany.
02:00Intelligence services would also get more powers to access laptops, cell phones and other devices and store the data.
02:08Meanwhile, some, including the Green Party intelligence expert Konstantin van Notz,
02:14said that although the reform was urgently necessary, the government's plans go too far.
02:20Modern Germany remains highly sensitive to data protection,
02:24shaped by memories of Nazi and later by communist East Germany's secret police.
02:35Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to seize ships belonging to European countries,
02:41in retaliation for plans to intercept and seize Russian vessels suspected of being part of Moscow's so-called shadow fleet.
02:49New sanctions passed last month now permit EU members to sell the oil or any other cargo seized from these
02:56vessels.
02:57Putin slammed the move, calling it piracy.
03:01We are seeing that the government of the country in violation of international rights
03:06They are trying to огрage the movement of our economy and владing our economy and police officers.
03:13world on the way.
03:15They recently thought about the possibility of trafficking by our court and stealing our children.
03:36Several European countries have intercepted ships that were carrying Russian oil or other cargo.
03:42These vessels are often old and in poor condition and are used to circumvent Western sanctions on
03:48Russia. One of such vessels seized was a Russian ship suspected of transporting grain from occupied
03:55Ukraine. Swedish court documents showed Stockholm will transfer the ship to Kyiv.
04:04Russia launched nearly 140 drones and multiple missiles in overnight attacks on Ukraine,
04:11according to authorities. At least two people were killed, including a woman whose house was hit
04:17and two were injured in strikes on the city of Hevson. In the southern eastern city of Zaporizhia,
04:23firefighters were tackling a fire at a shopping mall following a Russian strike,
04:29according to Ukraine's state emergency services. Also in the south, another Russian attack on Odessa
04:36caused a fire in a multi-story residential building. According to Ukraine's armed forces,
04:41112 of the drones were neutralized. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia's Novorossysk
04:49killed two people, including an eight-year-old child, as well as wounding eight people,
04:54according to the regional governor. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Kyiv had
05:00carried out a unique operation targeting the naval base in Novorossysk, the last major stronghold of the
05:08Russian fleet in the Black Sea. Russia shot down 502 Ukrainian drones across its territory
05:14and the Black Sea overnight, its defense ministry said in a statement.
05:22Following the migration crisis where tens of thousands of people forced their way into the
05:26Spanish enclave of Sota on 30 and 31st of July, Morocco's National Human Rights Council has presented
05:32a report accusing the Spanish police of assaulting those migrants with allegations of mistreatment
05:38that, according to the text, occurred out of camera view.
05:44This is not the first time this council has pinned the responsibility on the Spanish authorities for
05:49keeping gates closed, as it targeted Spain in 2022 after the Melilla border offense was stormed,
05:55which resulted in the death of 23 people.
06:00The latest accusation comes just one day after Sota received Foreign Minister Jose Amaral Alvarez,
06:05who traveled on Tuesday and emphasized cooperation with Morocco to return migrants who entered illegally.
06:11La integridad del espacio Schengen está totalmente garantizada en Sota y en Melilla.
06:19Y también, igualmente, aprovecho para plantear en Europa la necesidad de reforzar el apoyo a Sota,
06:24también a Melilla, y de que se tenga en cuenta su especificidad también desde un punto de vista social y
06:31económica.
06:32But these positive words toward Morocco came while the neighboring country claimed sovereignty
06:37over Sota and Melilla, two autonomous cities that have never belonged to Morocco despite being in Africa.
06:44The Spanish minister, who has avoided confrontation with his southern neighbors,
06:48promised that every single person who crossed irregularly would be returned to Morocco,
06:52a message also directed at the other 26 EU member states that have criticized Spain's migration policies.
07:06Hungarian lawmakers approved former Supreme Court Chief Andres Baca as the country's new president on Tuesday.
07:13The move comes following the contested removal last month of the previous head of state,
07:18as Prime Minister Pieter Magyar works to loosen the grip of his predecessor, Viktor Orban, over state institutions.
07:27Baca served 17 years as a judge on the European Court of Human Rights.
07:31He was elected with 140 votes in favor and six votes against.
07:52In his inaugural address, the new president said he had not expected to take on such a role.
07:58But seeing that young people and rural voters had voted for change, accountability and social reconciliation,
08:04he felt ready to step into the position.
08:07The Prime Minister of Human Rights is the next step of the position of the government's political parties.
08:17He can't write down the rules only as a formality,
08:21he can't take on himself to the entire parliamentary majority or the government's hands of the government's hands of the
08:27government,
08:27and he can't listen to it then, when the political functions are the fundamental questions of the government's work.
08:34The Fidesz Party, along with its ally, KDNP, boycott the parliamentary vote.
08:40They argue that the TISA party illegitimately removed the previous president.
08:45Baka András's decision-making is not the case of the Vita.
08:50He has to prove that he is the case of the KDNP, and he is the case of the KDNP,
08:53and he is the case of the KDNP, and he is the case of the KDNP, and he is the
08:56case of the KDNP.
09:01Az pedig még csak a jövőben fog eldőlni, hogy az új alkotmány milyen jogköröket ad majd a köztársasági elnöknek,
09:07és a TISA betartja-e régi ígéretét, mi szerint a következő államfőt már a magyarok közvetlenül fogják megválasztani.
