00:00Saturday protests, which gathered hundreds of thousands across Paris, were largely peaceful
00:04during the day, but violence broke out between the police and individuals in the evening.
00:10Protests took place across Europe on Saturday, with demonstrators in Spain calling for better
00:14pensions, Italians protesting over living costs and anti-government rallies in Albania.
00:20Ukraine says its Starling and military Starshield satellite connections are stable again after
00:25restrictions disrupted military operations.
00:34Here in Paris we can hear helicopters swirling above us, that's just one of the many measures
00:39which was implemented today as part of the demonstrations which took place as the Interior
00:45Ministry and Government said that they wanted to avoid any of the scenes of violence which
00:50occurred last weekend.
00:51Protests which took place in France, in Paris and across the country today were largely peaceful.
00:57There were some clashes which broke out here in the Porte de Vincennes located on the eastern
01:03border of the Paris suburbs where protesters and some individuals clashed with the police.
01:09There were also some clashes in other French cities including in places where protests had
01:14in fact been banned, such as the city of Lyon.
01:18According to the Interior Minister, what happened was later in the day, groups which he described
01:23as linked to the ultra-left came and caused chaos.
01:27Of course we are waiting for the finer details to be able to decipher what actually happened
01:32and to gather testimony from those here.
01:34And at present the police has arrested nearly a thousand people according to the Interior Minister as well.
01:41And he said that this number will only go up.
01:43That's far above the figures of those who were arrested last weekend.
01:47It's worth also noting that separately, although some clashes did occur here, many protesters have
01:52over the course of this movement called out what they qualify as disproportionate measures
01:57used by the police as rights groups have accused the police of using brutal methods.
02:11protests took place across Europe on Saturday with demonstrators in Spain calling for better pensions,
02:16Italians protesting over living costs and government policies,
02:20and anti-government rallies in Albania turning violent.
02:23In Madrid, thousands marched to demand pensions that keep pace with inflation,
02:28higher minimum payments, and better protection for the public pension system.
02:31Trade unions supported the protest.
02:35In Italy, demonstrations took place in several cities including Rome, Milan, Turin, and Naples.
02:41Protesters are angry about rising prices, low wages, military spending, and government policies.
02:47Authorities deployed 500 soldiers in addition to police after clashes last weekend caused damage in Milan.
02:54In Albania, thousands gathered in the capital Tirana for another anti-government protest.
03:00Police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd as government buildings were attacked.
03:05Authorities said more than 300 protesters and police had been injured in clashes since mid-October,
03:10while dozens of demonstrators were detained.
03:13Students are demanding lower tuition fees, more state funding for education, and action on corruption.
03:19Many protestors called for Prime Minister Edirama to resign.
03:23Just the orders, dealers do...
03:29Ukraine says its Starling and military Starshield satellite connections are stable again,
03:34after restrictions disrupted military operations.
03:37Defense Minister Yevhenik Kamara said the systems could maintain stable connections with equipment traveling at more than 400 kilometers per
03:44hour.
03:46He said this was important for frontline troops, drone operations, logistics, and communications.
03:53The dispute raised tensions between Kiev and Washington.
03:57Ukrainian officials said the restrictions disrupted military missions,
04:01while President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said U.S. intelligence sharing was working again.
04:06Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities said Russian strikes killed two people and injured 18 in the Donetsk region.
04:13Ukraine's military said it struck a chemical plant in Toliyaty, an electronics building in Oriole, and an aircraft at Yevsk
04:20Air Base.
04:22It said the attacks on the industrial sites would disrupt supply chains and production for Russian missiles.
