00:00The EU Council has agreed to open two more accession clusters with Ukraine after Hungary lifted its veto.
00:10Tens of thousands of protesters filled the streets of Paris on Tuesday.
00:14Largely peaceful demonstrations later escalated into violence.
00:20Pope Leo XIV underwent successful surgery as the cancerous tumour was removed in a nearly four-hour operation.
00:26The pontiff will remain in Cemely hospital for a week.
00:30The EU Council has agreed to open two more accession clusters with Ukraine after Hungary lifted its veto.
00:37That brings the number of open clusters to four out of six.
00:41The decision follows a deal on rights for Ukraine's ethnic Hungarian minority, a long-standing demand from Budapest.
00:48The agreement could also lead to the first meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
00:53and Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Macar, possibly at the EU Summit in Brussels this week.
00:59Diplomats are trying to arrange it, but no date has been set, and the meeting is not confirmed.
01:04Hungary had blocked progress on Ukraine's education and language laws, saying they restricted minority languages in school.
01:11The new law expands protections for eligible minority languages, including their use in school activities, and the provision of translated
01:18questions in some external exams.
01:21Ukraine remains the language of state education.
01:25Opening the clusters is a step forward, but not a guarantee of EU membership.
01:30Ukraine must complete major reforms, and closing each cluster needs unanimous approval from all EU member states.
01:37Agriculture could also be a major point of contention, as some countries fear that Ukraine's farm sector could put pressure
01:43on EU farmers and their subsidies.
01:51As pressure mounts on Ukraine to make concessions to Russia, including over its own territory, the head of one of
01:59the country's occupied towns has warned
02:01that the experience of communities already under Moscow's control should not be ignored in negotiations for a peace settlement.
02:08Tetiana Asanenko, head of the Oleski city military administration in the southern Kherson region, told Euronews that Russian occupation has
02:18left her city devastated and those still living there facing increasingly desperate conditions.
02:24For Asanenko, the situation in Oleski is directly relevant to the debate over whether Ukraine should surrender further territory as
02:32part of a deal to end the war.
02:34It is not possible.
03:02Residents face severe shortages of food and drinking water, while access to electricity, gas and medical care is extremely limited.
03:10She said residents are forced to survive on a single meal a day, sometimes consisting of only a few spoonfuls
03:17of grain.
03:18The worst situation, of course, is for the children, Asanenko said.
03:23This will remain in their memories forever, she added.
03:30The French Navy has boarded an oil tanker suspected of using a false flag and taking part in illegal fuel
03:36trade, President Emmanuel Macron said.
03:39The DF peak was stopped in the Indian Ocean around 450 nautical miles south of Reunion.
03:45In his social media post, Macron shared a video that appeared to show troops lowering themselves onto the ship.
03:52He said France was determined to fight the so-called Shadow Fleet wherever it operates.
03:57Armed Forces Minister Catherine Watrin said the Navy was escorting the tanker for further checks.
04:04Ukraine's military intelligence says the vessel is involved in transporting Russian crude oil and is linked to shipping firm Sovconflot.
04:12Russia's Shadow Fleet uses complex ownership structures and flags of convenience to get around Western sanctions on its oil trade.
04:19France also intercepted another suspected Shadow Fleet tanker, Deliver, of Sicily in June.
04:26Several other European countries have reported similar operations in recent months.
04:34As tens of thousands of protesters filled the streets of Paris on Tuesday,
04:40largely peaceful demonstrations escalated into violence later in the day.
04:44As you can see behind me, what started off as a peaceful demonstration in Paris today
04:49has once again descended into scenes of violence.
04:53As protesters and possible rioters, we can't tell you yet, clashed with law enforcement.
05:00Authorities, with police, as you can see they are charging at present to disperse protesters.
05:06Since the beginning of France's student protests, more than 6,800 people have been detained, 87% of which are
05:14minors.
05:14According to figures from authorities, an estimated 215 students have been injured and 800 police officers.
05:22France's police watchdog has opened 36 investigations into alleged police violence.
05:29French police has come under heavy fire for the methods that it has employed during these student protests.
05:35Rights groups have slammed law enforcement officers, accusing them of using brutal methods against children.
05:41We've seen police fire smoke grenades, tear gas, stun grenades.
05:51Although police continued to use stun grenades, the government suspended the use of a specific type
05:55after a 15-year-old pupil lost his hand during a police intervention outside a school in northern France on
06:03the 5th of October.
06:04What we've observed in our coverage so far is that many protesters marched peacefully,
06:09but those we questioned on the margins of Tuesday's clashes said they believe that violence can be a legitimate response
06:16to police brutality.
06:18If we manifest pacifically, nothing will change.
06:21There are people who attack the police, riposte with acrymogen grenades.
06:27I was surprised once more, it broke my eyes. I have to say that it broke my eyes.
06:31It's the education that rebels, the students and the teachers.
06:34There's absolutely no response, no wait behind, except the police violence.
06:40There's also violence in the face, but we don't listen to it.
06:43Some protesters said they would join major demonstrations on Saturday against the cost of living crisis and rising fuel prices
06:50in support of a wider social movement.
06:53It's been a lot of nervousness that has accumulated for years.
06:56This study movement was the light that has allumated the mèche and we are here today and we'll see what's
07:03going on Saturday.
07:06Pope Leo XIV underwent successful surgery to remove a small nodule from his lung on Tuesday, the Vatican said.
07:14The 71-year-old returned to his room at Rome's Gemelli Hospital after the cancerous tumour was cleared with a
07:20near four-hour operation using robotic procedures.
07:25Experts say the operation will also determine whether the lesion is malignant and if other treatment is needed.
07:33Pope Leo walked into the hospital earlier in the day and waved 12 wishes gathered outside.
07:40Medical staff recited the rosary in the hospital chapel as the operation began.
07:46Cardinal Baldassare Reina, the vicar of Rome, led prayers to the Pope and other patients.
07:52The pontiff's audiences have been cancelled through 20th of October and he is expected to stay in hospital for about
07:58a week.
07:59It is yet uncertain if he will make his trip to South America. However, there is no confirmed cancellation.
08:12The leaders of Germany, Italy and Belgium have called for a mechanism to halt new EU legislation deemed excessively burdensome
08:20for businesses as part of a broader push to strengthen the bloc's economic competitiveness.
08:26German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Weaver have proposed an emergency
08:34break in a letter sent on Monday to European Council President Antonio Costa seen by Euronews.
08:40The proposed mechanism would act as a last resort and additional safeguard against unnecessary bureaucratic costs stemming from new EU
08:50laws.
08:50Its modalities and scope remain unclear with the issue expected to be discussed at Thursday's EU Leaders Summit in Brussels,
08:58according to diplomatic sources.
09:00The three leaders are also calling for faster planning and approval procedures for investments in key sectors including decarbonisation, energy,
09:09artificial intelligence and defence.
09:11Under a proposed system dubbed the priority rule, certain regulations in these areas would be temporarily suspended to accelerate the
09:21development and deployment of new technologies.
09:24Cutting companies' reporting requirements is another key priority outlined in the letter as the three countries seek to reduce red
09:32tape across the EU.
09:37Safety goggles, masks and full body suits.
09:40Patients with the Ebola virus must be treated under strict safety precautions.
09:45In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the number of infections has now risen to over 9,000.
09:51While Germany has special isolation wards, resources on the ground are still limited.
09:56A simulation shows how teams from the Charite Hospital in Berlin are teaching safe treatment procedures to medics in the
10:03Congo.
10:05There is no protection.
10:07Ebola is broken in regions that are also affected by crises and conflicts.
10:13That means, medical personnel must be treated at least under dangerous circumstances.
10:24Since the Ebola outbreak began in June, the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development has increased its aid by 21
10:32million euros, including funding for protective gear.
10:36Because of the local climate conditions, protective clothing can only be worn for about an hour, which means tens of
10:43thousands of sets of protective gear are used every day.
11:01Germany is also sending medical professionals to the affected regions.
11:13Germany is also sending medical professionals to the affected regions.
11:15It is essential to ensure that the personnel is not infected.
11:20And that they know how they are safe when they are in the red area, also in the patient treatment.
11:27Goethe has completed seven trips this year, and the next one is already being planned.
11:33The ultimate goal is to create a pool of specialists throughout East Africa who, in turn, can pass on their
11:39expertise and thus help contain the Ebola virus locally.
11:42U.S. everyday realise to vitro in violence because theuni must rebel emotions is considered my best strength in order
11:45but has been distressed with these countries.
11:45Because the policies are related to the next aspect of the middle of the process.ischen
