00:00 A big aftershock scares Moroccans as survivors are still being pulled out of the rubble from

00:04 Friday's earthquake. Even as Russia attacks Kyiv again with drones, the G20 summit statement

00:14 avoids blaming Russia for the war in Ukraine. Russia stages local elections in occupied Ukraine,

00:23 but pro-Kyiv saboteurs attempt to disrupt them. With a surge of cases in several European

00:32 countries this summer, could a new wave of COVID-19 be approaching as temperatures drop?

00:38 An aftershock rattled Moroccans on Sunday as they mourned victims of the nation's strongest

00:45 earthquake in decades. So far over 2,100 people are known to have died and rescuers are still

00:52 looking for survivors under the rubble. The government has declared three days of national

00:56 mourning. More than 2,400 people were also injured, according to the interior ministry,

01:03 and over 1,400 of them remain in critical condition. More people are still being brought

01:09 to hospital hours after the earthquake. The United Nations estimates that 300,000 people

01:15 were affected by Friday night's 6.8 quake, and thousands of people living or visiting the city

01:23 of Marrakesh have flooded transfusion centers to donate blood. Some Moroccans have complained on

01:29 social media that help is slow to arrive and that the government hasn't been accepting help from

01:34 other countries. The Russians have targeted Kyiv again with a barrage of drones injuring at least

01:43 one civilian. Ukraine's air force claimed to have destroyed 26 out of 33 of the Iranian-made Shahi

01:50 drones. Meanwhile, Russia claimed that its Black Sea fleet had destroyed three US-supplied Willard

01:56 C-4 speedboats that it said were headed to the Crimean Peninsula. And in India at the G20 summit,

02:04 the final statement called for the territorial integrity of Ukraine to be respected,

02:09 but it stopped short of blaming Russia for the invasion. The Ukrainian spokesman responded by

02:13 tweeting that the G20 has nothing to be proud of in its stance. Russia's foreign minister disagreed.

02:20 He also demonstrated the global south's unwillingness to constantly

02:26 bring all the discussions to a crisis in Ukraine. Everyone understands that it would be good to

02:34 stop the war that the West started with the hands of the Ukrainians and the bodies of the Ukrainians

02:38 against the Russian Federation. Next year, the summit will be held in Brazil, and its president,

02:43 Anastasios Loulas de Silva, has already assured Vladimir Putin that he will be invited. Putin is

02:48 wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes. Russian authorities staged

02:56 local elections over the weekend in the parts of Ukraine that it's occupied in an attempt to

03:01 normalize their presence there. But the vote was at times interrupted by pro-Kiev guerrilla forces

03:07 who attempted to sabotage them. According to Russia's Central Election Commission,

03:12 a drone strike in the early hours of Sunday destroyed one polling station in Zaporizhia

03:17 province. And a Moscow-appointed official in neighboring Kursan province said that a live

03:22 grenade was discovered on Saturday near a polling station there. Local residents and Ukrainian

03:28 activists accused Russian election officials of making house calls, accompanied by armed

03:34 soldiers in both provinces, and detaining those who refused to vote, and pressuring them into

03:40 writing explanatory statements that could be used as grounds for a criminal case. Europe's top human

03:46 rights body, the Council of Europe, described the elections as a flagrant violation of international

03:51 law. On his first ever visit to Vietnam, President Biden said he's not trying to start a cold war

04:00 with China. Vietnam is involved in a territorial dispute with Beijing over islands in the South

04:05 China Sea, which both countries claim are theirs. China's rise has encouraged communist Vietnam

04:11 to move closer to its former rival, the United States, for support. And Hanoi is even elevating

04:17 the United States to its highest diplomatic status, despite the Cold Era war both countries

04:24 fought that ended in 1975. The number of COVID-19 cases has increased significantly in several

04:37 European countries over the summer. Decreasing immunity and the emergence of new variants.

04:46 Should we fear a significant wave this winter?

04:53 COVID-19 is still there. We shouldn't panic, but we should ensure vaccination. The continent is prepared.

05:01 Of course, the big caveat is whether, hopefully not, there will be a mutant which will be a little bit

05:08 more dangerous and spreading fast. In the best case scenario, this is a little bit like a flu case

05:16 scenario, the focus should be on the vulnerable people, because you have left too many people

05:21 behind, particularly in the long-term care facilities. According to experts, the best

05:27 weapon to protect against the virus remains the vaccine. I don't think Europe is in danger.

05:35 Only those people, those countries which still have low vaccination coverage rates, will remain

05:42 in danger of experiencing increases in clinical disease, significant clinical disease and

05:48 hospitalizations. It is true that there is a new generation of vaccines that is being developed

05:53 and we are expecting them by the end of this month, but people should be reassured that

05:58 the vaccines they have received are already protecting them very well against severe disease.

06:03 The European Union seems to be doing its part. The European Commission has recently given the

06:10 green light to a new vaccine to combat a sub-variant of Omicron. But that's not all.

06:18 Coordination and working together is the basis of a strong European health union.

06:24 And from the beginning of the pandemic, we have worked with the member states,

06:29 providing guidelines through ECDC on the way they need to monitor COVID-19,

06:36 on the need to have sequencing, on the need to have surveillance.

06:40 The European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety is making an appeal to European citizens.

06:47 A strong European health union means all of us working together to face a public health

06:58 situation. So follow the advice that is given by your doctors in terms of if you need to be

07:06 vaccinated or not. If you're feeling ill, stay at home. It may not be COVID, it may be influenza,

07:13 but we need to protect each other in the difficult autumn and winter season that may follow.

07:19 A witty and deeply bizarre film about Victorian era female empowerment,

07:27 Poor Things has won the Golden Lion at this year's Venice Film Festival,

07:31 often seen as a predictor of Oscar glory. Receiving the award, director Yorgos Lanthimos

07:37 says the film wouldn't exist without leading actress Emma Stone.

07:41 I'm very happy. It's great to win this prize with this film because I was trying to make

07:47 it for a long time and it's the best outcome that I could ever hope.

07:52 The 80th edition of the festival was largely deprived of Hollywood glamour

07:57 as the writers and actors' strikes carry on.

07:59 Me Captain by Matteo Garone won the award for best director and Garone's young star Seydou Sar

08:06 won the award for best young actor. It's a film that shames Europe for its migration policies,

08:12 telling the story of two young boys' odyssey from Dakar in Senegal to the detention camps in Libya.

08:17 High in the mountains above Lake Prespa that connects North Macedonia to Greece and Albania

08:28 is the 12th century Church of St George.

08:30 It's considered an important part of European cultural heritage.

08:36 And that's because its fresco paintings offer a rare and interesting example of Byzantine art in

08:42 the region.

08:42 According to some scientists, we can see the first maybe first signs of starting the

08:54 pre-Renaissance period, which we can see in the expression of the representing of the

09:05 sense also in their dresses.

09:09 The governments of North Macedonia and Greece alongside the European Centre for Byzantine

09:16 Monuments have agreed a deal to ensure the preservation of the frescoes.

09:20 And that's the challenge facing restoration teams from both countries

09:26 tasked with the tricky upkeep of these centuries-old masterpieces.

09:34 The paint, as we said, comes from mainly minerals, from stones and also from the vegetables or even

09:40 animals, some of the most rare paints.

09:44 So the paint was coming in powder, in very fine powder.

09:48 And they mixed this fine powder with lime in water.

09:54 They make an aqueous dispersion of lime.

09:58 The painter then would apply the paint on fresh mortar before the mortar dries.

10:05 Since North Macedonia and Greece signed the Prespa Agreement in 2017, bilateral cooperation

10:12 has gained momentum.

10:13 A concrete result of that cooperation is this joint project for the preservation of the rich

10:19 cultural heritage in the region of Lake Prespa, in whose water is the border between those two

10:25 countries.

10:26 In Prespa region, North Macedonia, for Euronews, Borjan Jovanovski.

10:30 Germany secured its first ever basketball World Cup title with a heart-fought win over

10:38 Serbia in the final held in Manila.

10:40 The 83-77 triumph came after a flawless tournament run for Dennis Schroeder's teammates, marking

10:46 their impressive rise in international basketball, as they will now set their sights on future

10:50 success, including the Paris Olympics.

10:53 Schroeder led the way with 28 points, while Franz Wagner added 19 to seal the deal.

10:58 In the semis, Germany shocked the United States with a narrow two-point win, and the world's

11:02 most successful basketball nation eventually missed out on a podium finish after losing

11:06 out to Canada in the bronze medal game.

11:08 Manchester United winger Anthony has been given a leave of absence in order to address

11:18 allegations made against him of violence towards women.

11:21 The 23-year-old was recently omitted from the Brazil squad due to accusations of physical

11:26 aggression towards his former girlfriend, Gabriella Cavaín.

11:30 These allegations are under police investigation, and Anthony denies any wrongdoing.

11:34 In an agreement with the player, Manchester United has allowed him to delay his return.

11:39 The former Ajax winger says he will cooperate with police in order to prove his innocence.
