02:48according to the United Nations.
02:50On Tuesday afternoon, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga and his Belgium counterpart,
02:55Maxime Prevost, held talks in an underground shelter after an air raid alert forced them to evacuate.

03:41as the country steps up efforts to protect airports and critical infrastructure
03:46from hostile and unauthorized aircraft.

04:42Germany has recently been subjected to multiple incidents,
04:47including an explosives-laden drone at Leipzig Airport.
04:52While shortly afterwards, operations at Hanover Airport were disrupted
04:56after a drone entered restricted airspace.
05:04Opening statements and witness testimonies have begun in a long-awaited trial
05:09almost 30 years after hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur was killed in 1996.
05:15Dwayne Keefe D. Davis, a self-described gangster,
05:18is being accused of plotting the fatal murder
05:21in a case built against him via his own testimonies,
05:24police corroborations, and from a memoir released in 2019.
05:28He had reportedly sought to retaliate against Shakur
05:32after the artist's entourage attacked his nephew in Las Vegas just hours before the shooting.
05:36Dwayne Keefe D. Davis did not hold the trigger.
05:40But what he did do was plan the retaliation for the beating of his nephew.
05:47Dwayne Davis made sure that the shooters were armed and ready to execute their revenge.
05:55And remarkably, you will learn that from Dwayne Davis himself.
06:03Dwayne Davis' defense argued that for almost 30 years until his 2023 indictment,
06:07there were no charges in this case due to a lack of evidence
06:11moving to slam the prosecution's claims as fiction.
06:30Dwayne Davis' attorney is presenting a defense strategy painting his own client as a liar,
06:36essentially withdrawing all previous testimony he made linking himself to Tupac's killing.
06:50Tupac Shakur was the victim of a drive-by shooting outside the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas on 7
06:56September 1996, where he sustained critical gunshot wounds before succumbing to his injuries a week
07:01later. Davis is the only living member of the four-person entourage believed to have carried out
07:07the shooting from a white Cadillac vehicle.

07:18of the dishes served are paramount.

07:26the seasonality of ingredients and adapt to the different seasons of the year, particularly
07:32the rainfall patterns, which are becoming increasingly erratic in Sao Paulo due to global warming.
08:00The restaurant is run by Chef Ivan Halston and his partner, culinary researcher Katerina Cordas.
08:08Research and exploration, combined with innovation and adaptation, give rise to the dishes served
08:13here. The tasting menus change every three months.

09:19Zambia's president, Akainde Ichilema, won re-election with around 60% of votes cast last week,
09:26the Electoral Commission announced on Tuesday, after a race critic said was tightly managed by his government.
09:33Ichilema, who has been in power since 2021, faced a crowded field of 13 challenges,
09:40led by former provincial minister Brian Mundubile, making his first bid for the presidency.
09:48According to the Electoral Commission, Mundubile, who entered the race in May, secured nearly 38% of the vote.
09:56The commission, however, said five of the 226 constituencies had not been tallied,
10:02and the outstanding results, quote, are not likely to materially influence the overall result of that election.
10:10Zambia's 13 August election was widely seen as a referendum on Ichilema's first term.
10:16It was, however, overshadowed by opposition allegations of fraud
10:20and an unprecedented nationwide suspension of vote stalling a day after polling,
10:26following attacks on election staff and the theft of marked ballot papers.
10:30The suspension was later lifted the same day.

10:51Six months after joining the International Space Station,

10:59Adneau became the second European woman and the first French woman to carry out such a mission.
11:06The journey is carried alongside with the American Annie Menon.
11:11The operation began around 2.30 p.m. French time and was scheduled to last no less than six hours
11:17and a half.
11:19The objective is to replace the space-to-ground antenna,
11:23which is essential for high-start data transmissions and communications
11:27between the ISS and ground control centres.
11:31To do so, Sophie Adneau carries in her diving suit a liter of water and oxygen,
11:36enough to last about 10 hours in space.
