00:22Poland has launched a terrorism probe after a gunman opened fire in Krakow's main square on Saturday, killing six people
00:29and injuring 15.
00:31Early on Sunday, people laid candles at the site of the attack, which was sealed off with red and white
00:36tape.
00:38Dressed in military attire, the 24-year-old Polish man drove a car onto the popular tourist square and began
00:44to aim at random people, police said.
00:47After an exchange of fire with police, the suspect was wounded, detained and taken to hospital, while a large number
00:54of other weapons and ammunition were found in his vehicle.
00:58The man left his car at an intersection and started shooting at the officers with a semi-automatic rifle, wounding
01:05two officers, according to police.
01:08Poland's interior minister said the gunman appeared to hold very radical views and was fascinated by far-right ideologies.
01:16On Saturday evening, authorities announced that of further three bodies, two women and a man, had been discovered at the
01:22suspect's home,
01:24later confirming they were his immediate family members and suffered gunshot wounds.
01:29A two-day period of national mourning began at midnight on Sunday, with national flags flown at half-mast.
01:41Pope Leo XIV wrapped up his visit to Uruguay on Sunday, with an open-air mass outside a basilica in
01:48the south-central city of Florida.
01:51For his final event, the Pope paid homage to the women who passed on the Catholic faith and raised awareness
01:57against gender-based violence,
01:59calling on men to treat their wives with respect.
02:03His homily addressed a prominent issue in Latin America.
02:06Over the last five years, the region recorded nearly 20,000 femicides, most of them committed by the victim's current
02:13or former partner.
02:15Pope Leo became the first pope in nearly four decades to visit Uruguay, in hopes of reminding the increasingly secular
02:21nation of its Catholic identity.
02:24He arrived in Argentina later on Sunday, where he will meet President Javier Milei, a right-wing libertarian whose austerity
02:32policies have drawn sharp criticism from the Catholic Church.
02:35The high point of his visit is expected to be the third and final leg of his tour, which takes
02:41him to Peru,
02:41where he spent nearly two decades of his life, first as a missionary and then eight years as a bishop.
02:51The United Kingdom paid tribute to military service personnel on Sunday during the Festival of Remembrance,
02:58held annually to commemorate those who lost their lives in service.
03:03Britain's King Charles III led Sunday's commemorations along with other senior members of the royal family, including his son, Prince
03:10William of Wales.
03:12Queen Camilla and Catherine, Princess of Wales, watched from their traditional place on a balcony of the Foreign Commonwealth and
03:19Development Office.
03:21Crowds lined London's Whitehall area as political leaders, including Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
03:27Current and former members of the armed forces and war veterans paid their respects to British and Commonwealth soldiers killed
03:33in two world wars and other conflicts.

04:00U.S. President Donald Trump has offered the ultimate fighting championship UFC boss Dana White the position of White House
04:07press secretary.
04:09Writing on his social media platform on Saturday, Trump said,
04:12Quote, I am pleased to announce that the great Dana White, a violent fighter and warrior, has been offered the
04:18job of press secretary.
04:19White acknowledged the offer on Saturday evening, saying he would be meeting with President Trump on Monday.
04:25I have a meeting on Monday, I'm flying to D.C. right now, and I'm sure we'll have something to
04:30talk about after that.
04:32Earlier, the UFC boss had shared an image on his Instagram story showing him standing behind the White House press
04:38conference lectern
04:39with a caption reading, Quote, on to the next chapter.
04:43The search for a new press secretary comes after Katie Zakaria quit less than five days in the job following
04:50an awkward first press briefing.
04:53Her predecessor, Caroline Levitt, a favorite of Trump, had announced in August that she was stepping down to focus on
05:01her family.
05:06Gary Eisenkot, the leader of Israel's centrist opposition Yasha party, has been tasked with forming a new government
05:17The decision for the opposition leader to form a government came after President Isaac Herzog held talks with political figures
05:26over the last few days,
05:28including Eisenkot himself and main rival Prime Minister Netanyahu.
05:33Neither Eisenkot nor Netanyahu has a 61-seat majority in Israel's 120-member parliament, Knesset,
05:42giving Arab-led parties a potentially decisive role in determining who governs Israel.
05:48Eisenkot will now have 28 days to try to form a new administration with a potential 14-day extension.
05:56If all attempts fail, another election will be called.
06:00Eisenkot, a former military chief, has vowed to do, quote, everything to form a new government.
06:06However, every member of his bloc, except for one, has previously refused to enter government with Arab parties.
06:18At least seven people were killed and more than 100 were injured when two trains collided on Sunday south of
06:24the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
06:27Egypt's railway authority said a train traveling from Giza to Fayyum crashed into the rear of another service heading south
06:34from Cairo to the city of Aswan.
06:37One of the trains derailed, it said, but did not specify which.
06:41The health ministry said the injured were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.
06:47Emergency teams and cranes were dispatched to the scene to clear the wreckage and restore train services to their normal
06:53schedule as soon as possible.
06:55Egypt's 110 million people depend heavily on rail transport, but the network, one of the largest in Africa, has suffered
07:03repeated deadly accidents.
07:05Over the past decade, Egypt has poured billions of dollars into updating its transport infrastructure, including new highways and high
07:13-speed rail lines, but has yet to overhaul much of its aging rail network.
07:23This is the flat of Margarida Moreis, an 86-year-old woman who until recently was living alone until she
07:30opened her door to Liliana.
07:33The two now live together as part of a program that combines companionship with affordable housing for young students.
07:56Originally from Alantejo, Liliana decided to pursue a master's degree in Lisbon.
08:02Renting a room in the city center wasn't exactly affordable, but Liliana was also concerned about feeling lonely in the
08:08city.
08:08I feel that here in Lisbon there's a lot of individualism. It's each one for themselves.
08:14And I had a little fear of arriving here and feeling very alone in a city so big.
08:22A social innovation program called Uneidades connects university students looking for safe, affordable accommodation with older people who have a
08:30spare room in their home.
08:32In return, students offer companionship and a helping hand around the house.
08:38The program was created to tackle loneliness among older people living alone, but it also helps address the shortage of
08:45student accommodation in the Portuguese capital.
08:48Nós temos muitas inscrições de estudantes. Sempre tivemos muito mais de estudantes do que de séniores.
08:54E, portanto, sim, percebe-se esta dificuldade que o país encontra e que precisa de arranjar aqui mais alojamento acessível
09:02para os estudantes.
09:03Porque consegue-se preços aqui muito mais acessíveis para os estudantes e resolve totalmente esta falta, este excesso que estamos
09:11aqui no valor das rendas.
09:13After registering for the program, each applicant is evaluated on an individual basis to determine their perfect match.
09:32In the end, it is much more than just sharing a home.
09:40The two share stories, routines and everyday moments, showing just how meaningful relationships between different generations can be.
09:54Ouzbekistan has announced that it harvested more than 5 million tons of raw cotton this year, its largest crop since
10:00independence in 1991.
10:02That is around a quarter more than last year and above the government's target of 4.5 million tons.
10:08According to the government, the area planted with cotton has been reduced by 38%, while average yields have more than
10:16doubled.
10:16Machines peaked 85% of this year's harvest.
10:20Building on this year's record, President Shavkat Murdiyoev has set a target of raising average cotton yields further in 2027.
10:28The country is also expanding domestic processing, turning more of its cotton into fabrics and clothing rather than exporting raw
10:35fiber.
10:35We took a couple of dollars, but we sold.
10:38We sold them, but we sold them.
10:39We sold them.
10:39I thought we sold them.
10:40We sold them for years in the years.
10:42We sold them for about four to four years.
10:44Each brand, each product, each brand, each product, each product, each product they sold.
10:49We sold them for a year's harvest.
10:50For decades, Uzbekistan's cotton harvest relied on compulsory labor.
10:55In 2022, the International Labor Organization confirmed that systematic first-end child labor had been eliminated.
11:02Cotton cultivation also carries environmental costs.
11:06The government is now promoting water-saving technologies and changes to soil management.
11:21The goal is to raise average yields from 5.6 tons per hectare this year to between 6.5 and
11:337 in 2027
11:34using improved seeds, drones and water-saving technologies.
