00:47and European Council President Antonio Costa's Foreign Policy Advisor Anna Maria Baurat.
00:55France, Germany and the UK will also take part.
01:00It remains unclear whether EU officials will meet Russian representatives in person as no face-to-face meeting has been
01:06confirmed.
01:08The talks will be the first trilateral negotiations since February.
01:13The EU's presence follows calls from Italy and Poland for Europe to have a stronger, coordinated role.

01:35US President Donald Trump has said he will likely be meeting with the leaders of Russia and China
01:41at an Asia-Pacific summit in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen next week.
01:46Trump told reporters that he expects the meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping
01:52to cover the war and denuclearization.
01:55US media have reported that Putin wanted the three-way talks to take place in order to brocker a peace
02:01deal in Ukraine
02:03that would be favorable to Moscow, whose invasion of Ukraine in 2022 is now well into its fifth year.
02:09The meeting would be the most recent indication of Trump's willingness to end Russia's subsequent diplomatic isolation.
02:17While being tough on traditional allies in liberal democracies in Europe
02:22and its northern and southern neighbors, Canada and Mexico,
02:25separate US-mediated talks between Russia and Ukraine are set to take place in Abu Dhabi this week,
02:31with European officials also set to be present at the table.
02:40British comedian and broadcaster Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months
02:45of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.
02:48About 20 years ago, Russell Brand, you were becoming famous.
02:53You were clever and, in many people's eyes, funny and charismatic.
02:58You had also become a sexual predator.
03:02Brand was unanimously convicted by a jury on Thursday of four sexual offenses,
03:07one count of rape and three counts of sexual assaults involving four women between 2004 and 2009 in different locations.
03:16In addition, Brand was cleared of two counts of rape and one count of attempted indecent assault.
03:22However, he remains under investigation after London police said it was looking into rape allegations made by two other women.
03:29The 51-year-old has turned into a self-styled conservative religious online guru in recent years.
03:36His accusers came forward following a 2023 investigation by The Times and Channel 4
03:41that aired accounts from women who said they had been sexually abused by Brand.
03:49The alleged perpetrator of a shooting on Saturday in Krakow's main square has died in the hospital.
03:55Wearing a mask and military clothing, the man drove a car onto a popular tourist square and opened fire onto
04:01the public.
04:02He killed six people and injured several others.
04:06After exchanging fire with the police, the attacker was wounded, detained and taken to the hospital, where he later died.
04:12O godzinie 4.30 zmarł sprawca zamachu, zmarł w jednym z krakowskich szpitali.
04:22O zgonie został niezwłocznie powiadomiony wojewódzki koordynator ratownictwa medycznego
04:29i ta informacja jest informacją pewną i potwierdzoną.
04:34Local authorities said the attacker was a 24-year-old Polish citizen who had been fascinated by far-right ideologies.
04:43The shooting is the deadliest in the country in decades.
04:47Prime Minister Donaltos called it an act of terrorism.
04:50In the flat occupied by the 24-year-old alleged perpetrator,
04:55police officers found the bodies of three people, which authorities believe were his parents and sister.
05:05U.S. tech giant NVIDIA is opening a probe into its CEO, Jensen Huang,
05:11after reports that Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, the company's board said on Sunday.
05:18A report by the New York Times said that the CEO had admitted that he had been unfaithful with a
05:24business executive
05:25who, according to U.S. intelligence, was gathering information for China.
05:30In a letter addressed to NVIDIA employees,
05:34Huang admitted to having been unfaithful to his wife and apologised to his family and colleagues.
05:40The company's board said it had no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA's secrets had been compromised,
05:48but that they would hold a thorough investigation.
05:51The board added that Huang fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating with it.
05:57U.S. intelligence officials believe that Alice Huang, who is a Chinese top executive at Megaspeed
06:03and who had a close relationship with Huang, was a spy for Beijing, the New York Times reported.
06:09NVIDIA is one of the global leaders in the development of artificial intelligence.
06:14Its chips power many of the data centres and computing systems used to train and run AI models.
06:26The United Nations Climate Change Conference kicks off in Antalya in Turkey on Monday.
06:32This year's conference comes at a critical time,
06:35as the Earth edges dangerously close to irreversible climate damage,
06:39with global warming set to exceed the 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold.
06:44World leaders from across the globe will gather for two weeks of crucial talks,
06:49each bringing their own agenda and priorities to the table.
06:53They will debate some of the biggest issues driving global warming,
06:57including how countries produce and use energy,
07:00how emission reductions can get back on track,
07:03and how much funding they will need to give countries that have contributed least to global emissions,
07:08but are suffering some of the worst effects of climate change.
07:12Electrification will likely be a major focus of the talks,
07:16with the target of having electricity account for 35% of global final energy consumption by 2035.
07:25While Turkey will host the summit,
07:27Australia will take the lead in steering the negotiations.
07:30And for a second consecutive year,
07:32it is noticeable that the U.S. did not send an official delegation,
07:36although members of Congress and U.S. businesses will attend the summit.
07:41The conference will run until the 20th of November,
07:44and will end with a consensus-based package of decisions on climate action,
07:49along a parallel agenda of voluntary actions.
07:57Leaders from across the world are gathering in Antalya, Turkey,
08:01on Monday for a two-week-long annual UN climate conference known as COP31.
08:07The meeting takes place against a backdrop of real concern over rising temperatures
08:11following an unprecedented summer in Europe
08:15and extreme weather phenomena like the deadly floods in Nepal.
08:18At the same time, global emissions remain high,
08:21fossil fuels continue to dominate,
08:23and political resistance to green policies has grown.
08:26Chloé Mikolaïczak, social and environmental activist,
08:30told UR News that policymakers are failing to take the necessary steps at this critical stage.
08:36This summer has been absolutely terrible.
08:38There's been 50,000 deaths linked to extreme weather events,
08:42and two-thirds can be attributed to climate breakdown.
08:44If we're talking about the economics, it's 180 billion euros
08:48that, you know, just went up in flames because of climate breakdown.
08:51We know all of that.
08:53What we're currently missing is the political willingness to act.
08:57She also dismissed any accusation that climate activists have been out of touch,
09:02as she warned that the situation in Europe is a cause of serious concern.
09:06Europe is the fastest warming continent on the planet,
09:10and you would have to be extremely blind to miss that.
09:13So I think everyone who presents themselves as reasonable, you know,
09:18or very smart, such as what we're seeing in our conservative politicians
09:22that are in power most of Europe today,
09:24is that they're actually just very stupid and foolish in what they're pushing for.
09:32At least 21 people have been found dead in a migrant boat incident off the Greek island of Crete,
09:37while 105 others were rescued in three operations.
09:42The Greek Coast Guard said eight bodies were found on one boat and 12 on another,
09:46while another body was found later in the day.
09:50Frontex unmanned aircraft also spotted two other boats
09:53whose passengers were rescued with help from European vessels.
09:57The incident follows a separate operation on Friday
10:00when 28 Sudanese were taken from their boat,
10:03while two people were reported missing.
10:06Two Sudanese nationals aged 28 and 16 were arrested
10:09after survivors identified them as allegedly being in charge of the crossing.
10:21Three children and two women died in tents housing displaced people in Gaza on Saturday
10:27after heavy rain caused a Sandy embankment to collapse onto them.
10:32The incident took place at a shelter center south of the Albala in the central Gaza Strip.
10:37The storm left tens of thousands of displaced Gazans
10:41without any form of shelter, according to local authorities.
11:00The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in an October report
11:06that an estimated 950,000 displaced Palestinians were living in sites at medium to high risk of flooding,
11:14including more than 400,000 in areas considered at high risk.
11:19It is a very difficult time to watch, especially after so many years of displacement.
11:24The greatest needs, I do believe, remains to be shelter materials,
11:31ones that have strength and have a durability to them.
11:34A fragile ceasefire came into effect in Gaza in October 2025,
11:40but the Israeli military has continued attacks on the territory,
11:44killing at least 1,400 people since then.
