05:11and introduce new child safety measures on Facebook and Instagram
05:15to settle claims brought by 47 U.S. states over teen social media addiction.

06:11European countries are among those hardest hit by additional fossil fuel costs caused by disruption in the Middle East,
06:18according to the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air.
06:21Italy faced an estimated €12.7 billion in extra costs between March and August,
06:28followed by the Netherlands at €11.5 billion, France at €10.8 billion and Spain at €8.8 billion.
06:37Together, the four economies absorbed almost €41 billion in additional fossil fuel costs without importing any new energy.
06:45Globally, the crisis added more than €282 billion to fossil fuel import bills without oil accounting for €140 billion.
06:56Diesel and petrol prices also rose by 59 percent.
07:00Beyond the cost shock, CREA said Europe's investment in clean energy is helping reduce its exposure.
07:06Clean power capacity installed since 2020 saved importing countries €36 billion in fossil fuel purchases
07:13during the first five months of the crisis.
07:16Spain alone saved billions, although oil-dependent transport, aviation and industry
07:22still left each person facing an additional €181 in fossil fuel import costs.
07:28Meanwhile, more than 100 organizations urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
07:33to announce a plan to phase out fossil fuels in her State of the Union address on September 16.

10:34as receding waters reel parts of the riverbed that have been unseen for decades.
10:39In northern Bulgaria, around 20 volunteers searched a dried-up bank near Russe
10:44after a mammoth jawbone and tusk fragments were discovered last month.
10:49The latest search found animal remains, including a horse jawbone,
10:53as well as fossilized oyster dating back around 60 to 65 million years.
10:59Beyond Bulgaria, falling water levels have exposed World War II shipwrecks in Austria and Serbia,
11:05while the remains of two German soldiers and a motorbike have emerged in Budapest.
11:11Further upstream in Bulgaria, archaeologists also documented foundations of a bridge more than 2 km long,
11:17built under Roman Emperor Constantine I in the year 328.
11:22The discoveries come as drought, intensified by human-induced climate change,
11:27has driven major European rivers to exceptionally low levels,
11:31disrupting shipping and revealing historical artifacts.
