00:02Radko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb commander convicted by a UN court of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity,
00:10was buried in the Serbian capital Belgrade on Monday before a crowd of thousands.
00:16The EU had repeatedly warned the Serbian government against glorifying Mladic,
00:21who was found guilty of the worst bloodbath on European soil since World War II.
00:26Although it was earlier announced that no serving officials would be in attendance,
00:31Serbian justice, culture, defence and public investment ministers came to pay their respects,
00:37along with President Aleksandar Vucic son Danilo.
00:40Political representatives of Bosnian Serbs were also present.
00:44Authorities earlier said Mladic would not be buried with military or state honours.
00:49Serbia, a candidate country for European Union membership,
00:52has faced strong criticism for honouring Mladic after his death.
00:57EU's Enlargement Commissioner Martakos cancelled an upcoming visit to Serbia in protest,
01:02arguing that the glorification surrounding his death is incompatible with the values on which the EU path is built.
01:09Mladic was sentenced for orchestrating the genocide of more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys in Srebrenica in July
01:161995,
01:17and the years-long siege of Sarajevo.
01:20Mladic died on 27 August, aged 84, in a UN detention facility in The Hague,
01:26where he was serving his lifetime sentence.
01:35The President of the European Commission has announced a €200 million investment package for Greenland
01:41in a bid to deepen ties with the Danish autonomous territory coveted by US President Donald Trump.
01:46During a two-day visit to the capital, Ursula von der Leyen presented the initiative called the EU-Greenland Partnership
01:54Package.
01:54It's €200 million of new investments for Greenland this year and next year.
02:01And this partnership package focuses mainly on three domains or strategic priorities.
02:07We call them the big C's, connectivity, clean energy, critical raw materials.
02:17Von der Leyen has backed Greenland's sovereignty and territorial integrity,
02:21amid significant pressure exerted by the administration of US President Donald Trump,
02:26who has repeatedly expressed his desire to annex the territory.
02:30Greenland's future is for the people of Greenland and Denmark to decide, no one else.
02:36Territorial integrity, sovereignty, the inviolability of borders,
02:43these are fundamental principles of international law.
02:47Trump claimed earlier this year that Washington needed to control Greenland
02:52for national security reasons, but appeared to rule out annexing it by force.
03:01German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he was shocked by Sunday's Saxony and Holt election results,
03:08in which the far-right Alternative for Germany party secured a major win.
03:13Speaking during a press conference alongside the Christian Democratic Union for Germany candidate in Saxony and Holt Sven Schulz,
03:22Merz said he saw a society looking for fundamental change.
03:27With the yesterday's day something changed not only in Saxony and Holt,
03:33but also in ganz Germany.
03:35And this result of the result of the result of the result of the result of the international situation.
03:43If you only see who the result of the result of the result of the result of the result,
03:56the far-right anti-immigration and Russia-friendly AFD party won the election with 43.8% of the vote,
04:05while Merz's CDU party came in a distant second with 17.2%.
04:12Merz conceded that his own low ratings played a role in the CDU's loss,
04:17but still vowed to continue his government's mandate as chancellor.
04:26Europe is recovering after a summer of heat waves and droughts that have devastated crops
04:31and left many farmers facing huge financial losses.
04:35To help farmers cope, the European Commission is urging member states
04:38to make use of flexibilities in the EU's Farm Subsidy Programme.
04:42But the European Commissioner for Agriculture admits no new money will be available for farmers.
04:47The farmers know exactly that the cash is limited.
04:50We will, of course, have for the next year,
04:54we have the agricultural reserve, 450 million that we can use.
04:57But first, I think we have to address the short-term problems.
05:01And there is as well problems coming up with fodder, for example, for our animals.
05:06Instead, Hansen asks consumers for a show of solidarity.
05:09We need as well to speak about solidarity in what is produced currently
05:15because often the consumers want the perfect apple, the perfect potato.
05:19This might not be the case this year.
05:21And as well, retailers expect a certain quality.
05:25And I think there we need to think differently as well to find new solutions
05:29so that the product can still be sold.
05:32Hansen said the European continent remained a net exporter of agricultural goods
05:37and that he wasn't concerned over food availability in Europe.
05:44EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaya Callas has scrapped a new defence advisory group days after unveiling it,
05:51following pushback from member states.
05:54Last week, Callas announced the new group bringing together political and military leaders
05:59to help design a new approach to European defence,
06:03but the initiative was scrapped following strong opposition from member states.
06:08According to reports, invitees to the launch event, which was due to take place on Monday in Brussels,
06:14received a cancellation notice on Sunday afternoon.
06:17The abrupt decision came after several member states viewed it as the wrong path to pursue,
06:22despite the group having been intended solely as an advisory body
06:27rather than one empowered to make decisions on behalf of member states.
06:32It also comes as the EU's diplomatic service, the European External Action Service, EES,
06:38faces pressure amid how Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
06:42has steadily sought more say over the bloc's foreign policy.
06:46Analysts believe the pressure to scrap the initiative before it was even launched,
06:50before the names of its participants had even been announced,
06:54is a significant political defeat for Callas,
06:57who had only recently put in place a new EES leadership to shore up her position.
07:07Spain's top criminal court has ordered an investigation into the arrival of tens of thousands of migrants
07:14in the enclave of Ceuta in July.
07:17Judge Maria Tardon ruled there were grounds to believe that alleged crimes committed abroad
07:23had threatened Spain's territorial integrity by using mass migration to do so.
07:29Tardon said the migrant flow constitutes a method of hybrid warfare, or the grey zone,
07:35with the aim of altering the life and rights of Spanish citizens in Ceuta.
07:39A Spanish police report highlighting total permissiveness by Moroccan security forces
07:45formed the basis for the decision by the country's top criminal court to open the probe.
07:52The judge said uniformed Moroccan security forces made no serious attempt to halt the influx,
07:59with some also offering active guidance on how to make the crossing.
08:04Moroccan authorities have not commented on the police report,
08:08but Moroccan media outlets have branded it a botched document that they say lacks material evidence.
08:20Germany will ask the top United Nations court to toss out a case brought against it by Nicaragua on Monday,
08:28which accuses Berlin of facilitating genocide with its support of Israel.
08:33Lawyers for Germany is carrying out four days of hearings at the International Court of Justice, ICJ, the court based
08:41in The Hague.
08:42The case dates back to 2024, following the start of Israel's offensive in Gaza.
08:48Nicaragua urged ICJ judges to impose emergency measures to force Berlin to halt all aid to Israel, in particular military
08:57equipment.
08:59The court threw out Nicaragua's request in April of that year, saying the circumstances, as they now present themselves, did
09:07not justify emergency orders.
09:09The case is nevertheless ongoing, and Germany is now seeking to have it removed.
09:14The ICJ's rulings are binding, but it has no power to enforce them.
09:24French billionaire Olivier Bouygues arrived at court on Monday in the French city of Orleans, where he's on trial,
09:30along with five other people, for the illegal hunting of protected species on his private estate in the Salonnier Forest.
09:37The landmark trial is expected to last two days, and is unprecedented in French justice.
09:42The investigation alleges that Bouygues' hunting grounds facilitated the illegal targeting of protected bird species, which include harriers, kestrels, and
09:52common buzzards.
09:53The lawsuit, brought forward by the League for the Protection of Birds, or LPO, is seeking up to seven years
10:00in prison, and a fine of €750,000.
10:04Bouygues was taken into custody last year after police, acting on an anonymous tip, executed a search warrant of his
10:11hunting grounds,
10:12where they uncovered mass graves of the protected animals.
10:15They also found weapons on the multi-billionaires' property, which have been outlawed since 1995.
10:21The LPO says the trial should serve as a warning to France's elite, and a reminder that they're not above
10:27the law.
10:32United Nations Human Rights Chief Volker Turk demanded accountability for the rising number of people dying while in U.S.
10:40immigration custody.
10:41With 23 people dying while in ICE custody so far this year, Turk also urged Washington to halt deportations to
10:49places where people face irreparable harm.
10:51He also expressed concern over the reported plans to provide ICE agents with electric shock gloves.
10:59There needs to be accountability for these deaths.
11:03I am concerned that plans to equip immigration agents with electric shock gloves will increase the violence associated with their
11:13operations.
11:14A joint report by Human Rights Watch and Physicians for Human Rights in June said that the rate of people
11:21dying while in ICE custody has reached its highest level in over a decade.
11:26ICE has also faced criticism over a series of fatal shootings during enforcement operations.
11:33U.S. President Donald Trump has made combating illegal immigration a top priority of his second term,
11:40with authorities rounding up thousands of people and expanding detention centers.
11:45ICE is a great day.
11:48It's true, so they all have to be treated with no such an interesting
