00:03Russia's President Vladimir Putin has reportedly proposed a three-way summit with U.S. President
00:08Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping next month to negotiate an end to the full-scale
00:13invasion of Ukraine, according to U.S. media. The proposal was reportedly made during a phone
00:18call between Putin and Trump on the 9th of October. The Wall Street Journal reported on
00:23Sunday that the Kremlin suggested holding the meeting on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific
00:28Economic Cooperation Summit in Shenzhen on the 18th and 19th November. A senior U.S. official told the
00:35newspaper that Trump has not agreed to attend but could be receptive to the proposal. There was no
00:41indication that Ukraine would participate in the proposed talks. The prospect of such a meeting
00:46comes as Trump seeks to revive negotiations with Moscow, arguing that imposing further economic
00:52pressure on Russia could undermine efforts to end the war. The European Commission stressed any
00:57solution that is found for Ukraine needs to respect its territorial integrity.
01:02If Putin would like to end this war, he can just stop this war today and the war could be
01:10over
01:10today. We have unfortunately seen it recently in the context of the announced energy ceasefire
01:17that Russia has shown no signs of wanting to fulfill it and go in that direction.
01:23The spokesperson also added that EU leaders have made clear at last week's European summits that
01:30Europe has a key role to play in a future settlement and will also defend its interests.
01:38U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has denied that there had been any suspension of intelligence
01:45sharing with Ukraine, as tensions rise between Washington and Kyiv over a series of decisions from
01:51the Trump administration. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that while the United States had
01:56resumed intelligence sharing, it was in fact stopped for some time.
02:00It was blocked for some period of time and then it was deblocked by American side. We are very thankful
02:10for this. Now it works. I don't know where he's getting these things from or why he's saying these things
02:14to the press. You should go back and ask him. There's been no pause. The United States, but again,
02:21what he should be focused on and what we want to be focused on is bringing an end to this
02:24war.
02:25Meanwhile, Kyiv and Washington also made contradicting comments on reported restrictions
02:29to satellite services operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX, which Ukraine relies on for battlefield
02:35communications. It's not my opinion. It's opinion of our generals, of our government,
02:40government. And of course, my also opinion, the same, that it was the message from American
02:46government to limit this speed. And technically, SpaceX did it.
02:52Yeah, I don't know what their theory is, but it was nothing to do with the White House. I saw
02:55a
02:55report on that the other day. It's just categorically false. No one at the White House ordered anyone to
03:00slow down internet or slow down speed so that certain drones couldn't use it.
03:04Trump and Zelensky have clashed as the U.S. president struck a diesel deal and blocked new sanctions on
03:10Russia, fueling fears in Kyiv and Europe that the White House is steering towards Moscow.
03:15Ukraine is now pushing ahead with plans to develop European alternatives to U.S.-made
03:20air defense systems and Starlink satellite communications.
03:27Kyiv has become a true frontline city as Russia intensifies its aerial campaign against Ukraine.
03:33The European Union's ambassador to the country, Katarina Matenova, told your news morning show,
03:39Europe Today. She warned that relentless attacks are increasingly disrupting everyday life in the
03:45capital ahead of winter.
03:48Really, what happened since the end of August of this year is that Kyiv became a true frontline city.
03:57And this is not only the nighttime attacks that we are almost used to, but the daytime attacks that
04:05started on the 27th of August are relentless. And people can't really imagine when they're outside
04:12that when you have an alert, kids have to stop studying, go to the shelter. Doctors stop carrying out
04:20medical procedures, metro stops.
04:24Amid mounting tensions between Kyiv and Washington, Matenova said Europe had become Ukraine's most
04:30dependable partner.
04:31I think that Europe has been and is proving itself to be really the steadfast, the most reliable
04:40supporter of Ukraine, both on the financial side and the military side. Right now, the European Union
04:48is carrying about three quarters of the financial support for Ukraine. And I think there is determination
04:57to continue, but we also will be talking to our like-minded partners to step up their effort as well.
05:06She also stressed that the bloc had no intention of easing sanctions against Moscow while the war continued.
05:18On a bordel, trivial, pardon ce mot, qui est très localisé sur des centres urbains. Aussi, j'ai demandé
05:25aux préfets de déclencher un certain nombre de couvre-feu pour ce soir, couvre-feu partiel,
05:30dans lequel les préfets vont faire ce travail de discussion, non seulement avec les maires,
05:34mais aussi avec les chambres de commerce et d'industrie, parce que l'un des enjeux de ce couvre-feu,
05:38c'est la protection des personnes, mais aussi des biens et singulièrement des commerces. On
05:41n'est pas sur, comment dire, une délinquance générale classique, on est véritablement sur
05:46une délinquance générale très précise, très spécifique de pillage, de revente d'ailleurs
05:51d'un certain nombre de ces biens pillés. Et il n'est pas question que les choses s'installent
05:55comme ça dans la durée, c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire. Et donc moi, j'ai donné cette
05:58instruction au préfet d'engager des couvre-feu. Ils seront partiels, ils peuvent être très
06:01localisés. Il n'y a pas question de mettre tout Paris sous couvre-feu. Ça n'aurait pas de sens.
06:04Ça ne correspond pas d'ailleurs à ce qu'on a vu hier soir. Il faut bien que tout le
06:08monde comprenne que
06:09j'ai ma détermination à rétablir l'ordre est totale. Voilà. Je ne peux pas vous dire mieux les choses.
06:14Donc, tous les outils qui sont à la main du gouvernement et singulièrement à la main du Premier
06:18ministre, sous l'autorité évidemment des compétences du président de la République pour ce faire,
06:24si c'est utilisé, je le ferai.
06:30...
06:31Albanien police fired water cannons and tea gas late on Sunday as violent anti-government protests
06:36entered their sixth day and Prime Minister Eddie Rama rejected demonstrators' demands
06:42that he resign. The protest started at noon in front of the Education Ministry with hundreds
06:48of demonstrators chanting Rama resign amid a tense standoff with police. But in a video
06:55broadcast lasting more than an hour, Eddie Rama ruled out resigning, stating that the protests
07:01are, quote, the work of an outside hand. The unrest follows months of anti-government protests
07:08in the Balkan nation, initially sparked by controversial resort development in an ecologically protected
07:15area linked to U.S. President Donald Trump's family. However, since last Tuesday, violent
07:21demonstrations have rocked Tirana, the capital, with protesters calling for action over poor
07:28university conditions, high tuition fees and corruption. Authorities say some 272 people
07:35have been injured in the clashes. The EU in a statement has condemned the use of violence,
07:40adding the response to it must remain proportionate.
07:47Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest has fallen to its lowest level since records began in 1988,
07:55Brazil's government has announced. Annual loss between August 2025 to July 2026 stood at more
08:03than 3,000 square kilometers, according to official satellite data, down 41.8% a year earlier.
08:11Its testament to the success of Brazil's renewed efforts under President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva
08:18to curb Amazon deforestation, reversing a surge under his predecessor,
08:23far-right President Jair Bolsonaro. Despite progress curbing deforestation, the Amazon faces threats
08:29from climate change, proposed legislation, and a possible change in Brazil's presidency.
08:35Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, won 47% of the vote, while Lula received 45%.
08:45The two face an October 25 runoff. The candidates offer sharply different visions for the rainforest.
08:53Climate and conservation experts warn that a Bolsonaro victory could reverse policies to curb deforestation.
09:00He has pledged to end illegal deforestation by 2029, a year ahead of Brazil's current target.
09:08Lula's re-election pledge goes further, zero net deforestation by 2030,
09:13with restoration offsetting all forest loss, legal or illegal.
09:22The death toll from flooding in and around Istanbul last week rose to eight on Monday,
09:27as rescuers found more bodies after Turkey's largest city was battered by the heaviest rainfall in over 80 years.
09:34Six died in Istanbul, while the bodies of two more people from a neighboring province
09:39were washed up on the southeastern outskirts of the megacity, according to Istanbul Governor Davut Gül.
09:45Wednesday's historic rainfall, which officials said was the heaviest since records began in 1942, caused chaos and flash flooding.
09:53The heavy rain submerged entire areas in hip-deep waters, caused fast-moving downstream in the hilly city,
10:00flipped and dragged cars, and whisked people away.
10:02By Thursday last week, three people were declared dead while five others were still reported missing.
10:09Among the deceased was a 14-year-old boy who was electrocuted when he stepped in a puddle.
10:14Authorities detailed that they have received nearly 20,000 reports of property damage as a result of the torrential rainfall
10:20and the subsequent floods.
10:21Gül added that 5,200 affected residents have received 10,000 Turkish lira, roughly 180 euros, as compensation, noting that
10:31another 2,500 people will be paid the same on Monday.
10:40Joel and Ethan Cohen have received the Lumiere Award in Lyon, the city where cinema was born.
10:46The brothers behind Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and No Country for Old Men were honored on Friday for four decades
10:52of filmmaking,
10:53the highlight of the Lumiere Festival's 18th edition.
10:57Old friends and collaborators handed them the award. Amongst them, Francis McDormand and Javier Bardem.
11:04The passion for the Christ cinematographer Caleb Deschanel was amongst the guests.
11:09There's something about the area that they come from in the United States that seems to have a particular sense
11:14of humor that they bring to everything they do.
11:17Even though it may be about something totally different, you know, even if they're in California, they're always in the
11:24sort of middle Northwest.
11:25We all here love cinema, and if you love cinema, you cannot miss any Brother Coins, Coins Brothers movies, because
11:34they are the reason why we love movies.
