00:00 Ukraine`s President Volodymyr Zelensky and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan

00:05 hold talks aimed at restoring the Black Sea Initiative.

00:11 Another drone attack in annexed Crimea. Russia claims Ukraine is behind the strike.

00:21 Final preparations are underway in polling stations across Spain ahead of Sunday`s snap

00:25 election which could result in a major shift to the right.

00:30 The legendary American crooner Tony Bennett who worked with singers as diverse as Frank

00:35 Sinatra and Lady Gaga has died.

00:42 Ukraine`s President Volodymyr Zelensky held talks with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip

00:47 Erdogan on Friday to discuss the restoration of the Black Sea Initiative. He said the world

00:52 could be on the brink of a food crisis after Russia ended the grain export deal. The U.N.

00:57 says this could have global implications.

01:00 Monday`s confirmation that the Russian Federation was withdrawing from the Black Sea Initiative

01:06 was immensely disappointing to all of us.

01:10 The new wave of attacks on Ukrainian ports risks having far-reaching impacts on global

01:14 food security, in particular in developing countries.

01:21 Russia meanwhile has defended its decision, accusing Ukraine of using the humanitarian

01:25 corridor to organize what it described as terrorist attacks, notably on the Crimean

01:31 bridge.

01:33 Ukraine says that Russia has now moved to target grain farms in the Odessa region.

01:42 More claims of drone attacks in Crimea. The region`s Russian-installed governor, Sergei

01:47 Aksyonov, said Ukraine had attempted to launch a strike on the Anyx Peninsula. The alleged

01:52 attack has temporarily brought three long-distance trains to a grinding halt.

01:57 "The attack on the Krasnodar region by the Ukrainian drone has resulted in a similar

02:04 situation in the Kirov region. Ammunition has been detonated in the storage warehouse.

02:08 According to the situation, I have decided to evacuate the population within five kilometers

02:14 of the epicenter."

02:17 Roadblocks have been set up to divert traffic away from the Kursk bridge. This after Ukraine`s

02:22 president, Volodymyr Zelensky, says the bridge linking Crimea to Russia "brings war, not

02:27 peace."

02:28 On Monday, two civilians were killed by explosions on the overpass. It was severely damaged in

02:33 a similar attack last October and only recently had all its lanes reopened.

02:42 Prominent Russian nationalist, Igor Gerkin, was remanded in custody on Friday on charges

02:47 of inciting extremism. He used his Telegram account to publicly accuse President Vladimir

02:53 Putin and the army`s top brass of not pursuing the war in Ukraine harshly or effectively

02:59 enough.

03:00 Also known as Igor Strelkov, Gerkin helped Russia annex Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.

03:06 His arrest by state security suggests the authorities have grown tired of his criticism

03:11 of Moscow`s so-called special military operation.

03:18 The countdown to Spain`s snap election is on. But this time around, in-person voters

03:23 will have to battle the extreme heat on the way to the ballot box.

03:29 Thousands of bottles of water are on standby at polling stations. Fans have also been installed

03:34 to provide some relief to the staff at hand.

03:38 Two and a half million registered voters out of a total 37.4 million have opted to vote

03:43 by post. More than double the number of mail ballots in the 2019 general election.

03:50 With no party expected to win an absolute majority, the main question the electorate

03:54 is asking itself is, will this be another leftist coalition or one between the right

03:59 and the far right?

04:01 After five years of social democratic government, the conservatives` People`s Party is the favorite

04:05 to win. The result could put the far right back in office for the first time since the

04:10 end of Francisco Franco`s regime.

04:17 Flowers for Tony Bennett on his Hollywood walk of fame star. Following news on Friday

04:22 that the legendary singer had died at the age of 96.

04:26 He had a knack for creating new standards and his decades-long career brought him admirers

04:31 across generations. His final album released in 2021 featured duets with Lady Gaga and

04:37 songs by American composer Cole Porter. Bennett was diagnosed with Alzheimer`s in 2016 and

04:44 his publicist said he died at home in New York of age-related causes.
