00:00The elderly woman, Marie Carmen Abascal, whose resistance to eviction from her flat in Madrid
00:07sparked a growing nationwide protest in Spain, has died.
00:11She was aged 87.
00:14We regret to announce that Marie Carmen passed away today, the Madrid Sentence Union said
00:19in a statement on Wednesday, adding that her situation marked a turning point in the history of Spain.
00:25Her plight brought hundreds of thousands onto the streets and ultimately brought forward a general election
00:33after mass demonstrations across Spain.
00:36Abascal had been hospitalized since late September after being carried out on a stretcher from the apartment
00:42where she had lived for seven decades over her inability to afford rent increases.
00:48The company that owned the flat later offered to allow her to return at a lower rent rate,
00:54but she wasn't able to sign an agreement as she had been admitted to hospital.
00:59Her case led to the government to present measures to address Spain's housing crisis in legislation
01:05that was later rejected in Congress before tens of thousands of people took to the streets in recent days.
01:17The European Commission announced on Wednesday that 1.24 billion euros had been released
01:23for Ukraine to purchase domestically manufactured drones, drone interceptors, drone ammunition and munitions.
01:30Today's disbursement will help strengthen Ukraine's defense industry and Ukraine's ability to defend itself,
01:37said the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
01:41The funding announcement comes as Russia continues its full-scale invasion against Ukraine.
01:46In recent weeks, this has amounted to an increasingly aggressive aerial campaign,
01:52putting its capital, Kiev, on near-constant alert and disrupting daily life.
01:57The envelope is part of the bloc's Ukraine support loan,
02:01comprising a total of 90 billion euros funding for 2026-2027.
02:06Two-thirds have been earmarked for the country's military and defense needs,
02:10with Brussels planning to disperse a total of 28.3 billion euros in 2026 to support the country's security.
02:19Future defense funding releases are planned in the coming weeks.
02:28Following the arrest of former German Federal Intelligence Service Chief August Hanning on Tuesday,
02:35his long-standing, confident and former head of cabinet, Manfred D., has now also been taken into custody.
02:42Federal prosecutors accuse both men of having used state secrets over many years
02:47to support private consulting activities and foreign interests, a crime that constitutes treason.
02:54Manfred D. has been charged with aiding and abetting and remains in pre-trial detention,
02:59while Hanning is being brought before an investigating judge, according to reports.
03:04The two men have known each other since the late 1990s
03:08and worked closely together for many years at the Federal Intelligence Service
03:12and later at the Interior Ministry.
03:15The arrangement is believed to have been in place since 2010.
03:20Investigators bugged Manfred D.'s property and monitored him for months in a high-profile probe.
03:29At Kibbutz Perry, one of the places hardest hit by the October 7 attack,
03:34Jean-Noël Barraud came to pay tribute to the victims.
03:37The French minister of foreign affairs paid his respects at the site of the massacre,
03:42where 101 civilians and 31 members of the security forces were killed three years ago.
03:49Jean-Noël Barraud then went to Tel Aviv, where he paid tribute to the victims and met with families.
03:55Hamas perpetrated the worst anti-Semitic massacre since the Holocaust,
03:59during which 51 French nationals lost their lives.
04:03We will never forget them. Nothing will erase their faces or their names, he said.
04:08This visit was marked also by a spirit of reconciliation
04:12after the heated exchange at the UN between Emmanuel Macron and Benjamin Netanyahu.
04:17During the last General Assembly, the French president had denounced the situation in Gaza,
04:22which brings shame upon us all, as well as the violence in the West Bank.
04:26Netanyahu responded sharply, calling his remarks about Hamas' absence from the West Bank a grotesque absurdity.
04:37The Israeli ambassador to France has condemned any form of anti-Semitism
04:42after recent allegations against French far-right leader Jordan Bardella.
04:47French online newspaper Mediapart has published anti-Semitic messages sent on Facebook in 2013,
04:53attributed to the EU lawmaker.
04:56Bardella has denied writing the anti-Semitic messages.
04:59For the time being, Israel reserves its response, the ambassador said.
05:03Any type of anti-Semitism, any statement, any type of statement, act, anyway,
05:10is unacceptable and is comprehensible.
05:12Now, the question is, as you said, these are allegations, and we are following very closely,
05:18and we will make, we will react to it once it is clear that these allegations are true,
05:24or if not, then we react otherwise.
05:27Meanwhile, the Israeli ambassador has accused French left-wing party France and Bode
05:31of being openly anti-Semitic after a recent incident involving EU lawmaker Rima Hassan.
05:38The French MP of Palestinian origin allegedly threw to the floor the Israeli and EU flags
05:43at a commemoration for the Hamas-led 7th of October attack against Israel that led to the Gaza war.
05:50I cannot understand how a person that aims to be a politician, that aims to represent the public,
05:56can be so violent and disrespectful of the death of thousands of people
06:01that has been caused by the same cause that she is trying to help.
06:07Hassan said she did not touch the European flag,
06:10claiming it simply failed due to a loss of balance after she removed the Israeli flag.
06:15She added, quote, it is possible to commemorate the victims of the 7th of October
06:20without siding with the genocidal Israeli state.
06:28A non-incident, this is how professor of virology Mark Van Hans described the reported plague death
06:35of a laboratory technician in Siberia last week.
06:38I'm always surprised when something happens in Russia, it becomes news.
06:42But this happens very frequently in DRC, in Congo, and in Madagascar.
06:48We have hundreds of cases every year of plague, and people are always surprised.
06:52They think it's something medieval, something very special.
06:55Of course, here, it's lab-associated.
06:58That makes it a little bit more serious, I guess.
07:01A Russian news outlet reported last Friday
07:04that a 28-year-old woman working at a plague research institute in Siberia
07:09had died of the disease.
07:11With every day that passes and no secondary case appearing,
07:14Van Hans assumes the situation is under control.
07:17The Russian health agency said Wednesday there was no epidemic risk.
07:21The WHO, the United States and the European Union
07:24have called for more transparency regarding the incident.
07:33Across the entire EU, the decline in the number of restaurants and bars
07:37is fastest in Hungary.
07:40Between 2021 and 2024, the decline was 6%,
07:43while 22 member states recorded growth.
07:47According to a recently published study,
07:50one reason for this is that tourist traps
07:52are driving quality restaurants out of the market.
07:55They operate with high-profit margins,
07:58but sell cheap, low-quality food
08:00and attract stag-party tourists,
08:02which is bad for the country's image.
08:24And that's why we have to connect with a gastronomic culture.
08:302025 was a record year for tourism,
08:33but even that couldn't really boost the hospitality industry.
08:36Then this year, the problems piled up.
08:40The post-election strengthening of the foreign
08:42made Budapest 12 to 14% more expensive
08:45for tourists paying in euros,
08:47and the national image campaigns also came to a halt.
08:50In August, the number of foreign tourists
08:52was 14% lower than a year earlier.
08:56Domestic restaurants are facing intense competition
08:58according to the founder of a group
09:00that operates 35 dining establishments.
09:28While costs are on a European level, revenues are not.
09:31In Austria, for example,
09:32there are a similar number of restaurants,
09:34yet the sector's revenue is double that of Hungary's.
09:37And this depends not only on foreign tourists,
09:40but also on domestic guests.
09:43Pogácsa Zoltán közgazdász nemrég arra hívta fel a figyelmet,
09:47hogy a magyar társadalom kétharmada kevesebb pénzből él,
09:50mint az uniós alsó középosztály.
09:52Márpedig széles, vizetőképes középréteg nélkül
09:55a visszatérő vendégekre építő éttermek nem tudnak működni.

10:29So, in the 1930s and 1940s,
10:31he was part of a group of artists in New York
10:34who really found their own style.
10:36It was called abstract expressionism,
10:38but for the Koning,
10:40it was never really 100% abstract.
10:43He would always return to the human figure.
10:46Other artists kind of saw him as a traitor,
10:49because they thought,
10:50we left that behind the human body,
10:51we're not doing it anymore.
10:52but the Koning really,
10:54he just followed his own path,
10:56and the human body throughout his entire career
10:59would keep coming back.
11:06They were controversial for two reasons.
11:09First of all,
11:10because he was painting women,
11:12where everyone else was doing abstract arts,
11:14but also because he was painting women
11:17in a very frontal stance.
11:19They are looking straight at you.
11:21They're not really conventional beauties.
11:24And I think if we look at that now,
11:27they're actually,
11:28I don't really see them as victims.
11:30They have broad shoulders,
11:31they look you directly in the eyes.
11:34That's not fair.
11:45But it's very interesting.
11:46The back to 2,
11:47I think you're pretty,
11:47treffen people as beim,
11:48and like it's James Hans�도,
11:48and simple child or para a job of thinking.
11:48Anyway,
