00:17he continues his two-day visit of Ireland.

00:27breakthrough into government.
00:30Russia launched at least 450 drones across Ukraine in overnight attacks, while Ukraine struck multiple Russian oil refineries.
00:39More than 100 emergency personnel were mobilized in the southern region of Odessa after it was targeted in a massive
00:47overnight Russian attack, leaving homes, warehouses and industrial buildings damaged.
00:52Whilst in the Kyiv region, emergency crews were tackling the aftermath of a repeated Russian attack on a logistics warehouse
01:00in the Kyiv region.
01:01In Russia, two people were killed and 12 were injured following a Ukrainian drone attack, which sparked a fire at
01:08an industrial facility in Nizhnykamsk, Russia's Republic of Tartistan, according to Russian authorities.
01:14Ukraine also said it had struck the Slavyansk eco-oil refinery in Slavyansk on Kuban, in Russia's southern-eastern region

01:25On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he was willing to meet on the sidelines of the G20 with

01:45Well, day two of U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Ireland very much underway with a heavy focus on
01:50golf.
01:51He is down in his golf club in County Clare, where he's watching the Irish Open golf tournament.
01:56He'll present the winner with the trophy later on this evening.
01:59He'll be accompanied also by Irish Prime Minister Taoiseach Milhor Martin.
02:03Yesterday, he had a whole day of events, in particular at the U.S. Ambassadors residence, which is just behind
02:08me,
02:08where he gave a wide-ranging speech, but very much pressed home on his desire to see the unification of
02:14Ireland, Northern Ireland, with the Irish state.
02:16This is something that was largely put to bed in 1998 with the Good Friday Agreement.
02:21But Irish government sources have said that this is something that Donald Trump frequently brings up with the Irish government.
02:25And he's the one who introduced this conversation.
02:28He believes that it's a merger that he thinks will be much more logical.
02:32And, of course, the U.K. government does not agree.
02:35And we know that the Irish Taoiseach will speak to Andy Burnham, the U.K. Prime Minister, later in this
02:40week.
02:40Donald Trump also updated the government in relation to talks between the Ukrainians and the Russians and the peace efforts
02:46there,
02:47saying that there is some progress.
02:49He also said he hoped that the war in Iran would end soon.
02:51He spoke to press about that.
02:53And the Irish government did also respond to him in relation to his comments about immigration,
02:58where he said that immigration, or too much immigration, was killing Europe.
03:02The Irish government said that immigration is down in Ireland.
03:05And also he said that he would return here potentially next year.

03:16Voters in Sweden went to the polls on Sunday for an election that will determine whether a Conservative leader
03:21remains in charge and a far-right party wins ministerial jobs for the first time,
03:25or whether the center-left returns to power.
03:28Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is seeking a second four-year term at a critical vote centered around concerns over rising
03:34crime and immigration.
03:36He's up against Magdalena Andersson of the center-left Social Democrats,
03:40who served as prime minister from 2021 until she lost power at the last election in late 2022.
03:47Kristersson has led Sweden since with a three-party center-right coalition,
03:51relying on outside support from the Sweden Democrats,
03:54an anti-immigration party that has far-right roots but has moved towards the political mainstream for a parliamentary majority.
04:01The Sweden Democrats, who in 2022 took 20.5% of the vote to become the biggest party on the
04:07right,
04:07can expect cabinet seats this time around if power doesn't change hands.
04:11More than 8 million people in the nation of just over 10 million are eligible to vote in the election
04:17for the 349-seat parliament.
04:20Preliminary results are expected from 9 p.m. local time, giving a strong indicator of the winner,
04:25but official results won't be announced until next weekend.
