00:00Iceland's No Camp has narrowly won a referendum on the country's suspended European Union
00:06membership negotiations.
00:09According to official figures, some 52.8% of the 225,031 votes cast had rejected the
00:17government's proposal, while 47.2% had said yes.
00:22Voter turnout stood at 82.5%, final results showed.
00:27The No Outcome will shelve the EU debate in Icelandic politics for at least two more years.
00:33After casting her ballot in the capital on Saturday, Prime Minister Kristian Frustadotir
00:39told reporters the referendum campaign has failed debate about Iceland's place in the
00:45world.
00:46Saturday's vote came in the shadow of US President Donald Trump's threat to control nearby Greenland.
00:52However, the debate in the island nation of almost 400,000 people centred mostly on its
00:59economic concerns with its fishing industry rather than security concerns.
01:04Analysts say with fish and marine industries accounting for almost 40% of exports, many
01:10know voters fear they would cede some control of their lucrative fishing grounds under the
01:16EU's common fisheries policy.
01:19Despite the outcome, Iceland's relationship with Brussels wouldn't change.
01:23The country already participates in the European Economic Area and the passport-free Schengen
01:28Zone.
01:28Both arrangements stay intact.
01:34The Icelandic public expressed mixed opinions after their country voted no to resuming membership
01:40negotiations with the European Union.
01:43With opponents defeating the measure by a margin of 52.8% to 47.2%, the outcome was close
01:51but decisive.
01:52I'm a little bit relieved.
01:54It has been a little, it has been quite aggressive this discussion but now I hope the opposing parties
02:04will find a way to make this community here in Iceland a little bit better just by using
02:13our own methods and of course those relations we have with Europe, America and Asia.
02:20And I think I myself, I'm maybe in a kind of denial that this has happened.
02:27It's hard to, it's hard to grasp that it's a no.
02:31Iceland's Prime Minister Kristjorn Frösterdottir, who campaigned in support of the measure, said
02:36she hoped the neck-to-neck result would not divide the nation.
02:45At least 37 people have been killed following a Russian attack on a warehouse in the Buche district.
02:50Close to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
02:54Authorities said the strike caused a major fire and explosions, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr
03:00Zelensky adding that explosive objects appeared to be stored at the warehouse.
03:05At least 50 residential buildings had been damaged in the attack, officials said, after the fire
03:11spread to nearby homes and a restaurant.
03:15Zelensky said criminal proceedings had been opened on charges of possible negligence regarding the storage
03:20conditions of the materials.
03:24Elsewhere, one person was killed and three others injured in a Russian strike on the
03:28southern Odessa region, and two more people were killed in Ukraine's southern Kherson region,
03:33according to Ukraine's emergency service.
03:37Moscow and Kyiv have been ramping up long-range strikes in recent months,
03:41particularly targeting logistics and energy facilities.
03:44And Zelensky has called on his forces to further step up their deep strikes on Russia.
03:55Several people have been reported dead after a passenger ship capsized off the northern coast
04:00of Cyprus, Turkish authorities said on Sunday.
04:04Turkey's Interior Ministry said 259 passengers and eight crew members were on board the vessel
04:10when it began taking on water roughly six kilometers off the coast of Kyrenia.
04:15Turkish authorities gave an initial death toll of seven, a number that is expected to rise.
04:22More than 172 people have been rescued, according to the Prime Minister of the self-declared
04:27Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is recognized as a country only by Turkey.
04:33Cypriot President Nikos Krestodoulidis said Cyprus was ready to provide
04:36immediate assistance to the rescue efforts.
