00:00U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hamus
00:06within a week if the U.S. meets certain conditions.
00:09Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump said,
00:12quote, I am rejecting their deal.
00:14They want to make a deal where they open the straits immediately because they're losing so badly.
00:20Earlier media reports citing U.S. officials reported that Trump told aides that he expected
00:26to resume a bombing campaign against Iran after the U.S. midterm elections in November.
00:32His response comes after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi said on Friday,
00:38the strait can be reopened and normal maritime traffic can resume within seven days if the
00:43necessary conditions are met. Arachi added it would be better if an agreement with Washington
00:49were reached before the U.S. midterm elections.
00:52The Strait of Hamus has been at the heart of tensions between Washington and Tehran since
00:58late February. Iran effectively closed the strait after the U.S. and Israel attacked the Islamic
01:04Republic and the number of ships passing through has dropped significantly because of Iranian threats
01:11and attacks on vessels in the waterway.
01:17At least six people have been killed and dozens were injured across Ukraine in overnight Russian
01:23attacks as Moscow launched 173 drones, according to Ukrainian officials. Among them was a mother
01:31and grandmother to a three-year-old who were killed in their home during a strike in the eastern city
01:37of Zaporizhia. Meanwhile, drones reportedly attacked the Russian Ilsksi oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodal
01:45Krai, according to local media, who reported a fire breaking out at the facility. During a press
01:51conference on Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters that Moscow was not preparing
01:57for conflict with Europe.
02:16His words come as several European countries are facing a growing number of suspected Russian
02:23hybrid attacks.
02:28Thousands of protesters in Spain on Saturday took part in Madrid's second, quote, March for
02:34Dignity, with demonstrators calling for a general election and voicing their support for Ceuta
02:41amid the autonomous city's ongoing migrant crisis. The demonstration, which was organized by right-leaning
02:48civil society platforms, conservative and far-right parties, set up from the Plaza de
02:53Sibeles and headed towards the Arco del Triomphe in Montclair.
02:58The central government's representative in Madrid put the turnout at around 20,000, while
03:04the organizers of the protest said some 180,000 people participated. The protest comes almost
03:11two months after the mass influx of migrants to Ceuta, where the situation remains unresolved.
03:18A separate March for Dignity held at the end of July saw tens of thousands of people come
03:24together to demand Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez resign and for snap elections to be held.
03:30According to the government delegation, that demonstration drew around 40,000 people,
03:36while organizers put the figure as high as 120,000.
03:45Online voting has begun for Fat Bear Week, the annual contest that pits the giant bears of Katmai
03:52National Park and Preserve against each other for the title of the most oversized bear.
03:58Last year's 544-kilo winner, Chunk, known officially as Bear 32, is hungry to retain his victory.
04:07This year, I think it's pretty tough to predict. I mean, there's a few bears that are larger than
04:14others, but it's not necessarily about body mass alone. We want people to consider the bears' stories
04:21as well, because getting fat means different for a big adult male who's maybe trying to dominate
04:27access to the best fishing spots at Brooks Falls. The contest celebrates the resilience of the 2,200
04:34brown bears that live in the preserve on the Alaska Peninsula, extending towards the Aleutian Islands.
04:42Fat Bear Week was started in 2014 as an interactive way to inform the public about brown bears,
04:48the coastal cousins of grizzlies.
