00:00 Russia has reported a Ukrainian drone strike on an administrative building in the city

00:05 of Kursk.

00:06 This, after two days of strikes on Sevastopol and occupied Crimea, one of which targeted

00:11 the Russian Black Sea Fleet headquarters.

00:14 It comes as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, addressing the UN in New York, dismissed

00:19 Kiev`s ten-point peace plan.

00:21 "The Zelensky`s formula is absolutely unrealizable.

00:32 Everyone knows that.

00:36 But they say that it is the only basis for negotiations and that Russia should be defeated

00:43 on the battlefield.

00:44 And in these conditions, if on the battlefield, then on the battlefield, let`s do it."

00:48 The weekend also saw Russian forces launch drone attacks in the Zaporizhia region of

00:52 Ukraine as well as in the Dnipropetrovsk province further north.

00:57 Fighting also rages on in the Kherson area and in the outskirts of Bakhmut.

01:05 A police officer has been killed and another wounded during a shooting in a village in

01:09 the north of Kosovo on Sunday.

01:12 Kosovan Prime Minister Al Benkerti says it`s the first major incident in the region in

01:16 months.

01:17 He blamed the attack on support from neighboring Serbia.

01:20 The incident has fueled tensions between the two former enemies and a delicate moment in

01:25 the European Union facilitated dialogue to normalize ties.

01:30 Ethnic Albanians make up 90 percent of the population in Kosovo, but Serbs are in the

01:35 majority in the north of the country.

01:41 Weapons Azerbaijan says it seized from Armenian militias since it regained control of the

01:46 breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh following a two-day military offensive.

01:50 Meanwhile, Armenia has expressed its concerns for the safety of ethnic Armenians in the

01:55 enclave as representatives of the two countries spoke at the United Nations in New York.

02:01 Armenia has repeatedly warned the international community about the need for concrete and

02:06 practical actions, including the dispatching of a U.N. interagency needs assessment and

02:12 fact-finding mission to Nagorno-Karabakh.

02:15 Azerbaijan says it`s ready for dialogue with its Armenian neighbor.

02:20 We continue to firmly believe that there is a historic opportunity for both Azerbaijan

02:24 and Armenia to establish good neighborly relations and coexist side by side in peace as two sovereign

02:30 state within the internationally recognized borders.

02:35 He also promised that ethnic Armenians living in the territory would be treated the same

02:40 as everyone else by the authorities.

02:43 Azerbaijan reclaimed the enclave in a war in 2020.

02:52 Thousands gathered in Madrid on Sunday to protest against a possible amnesty for those

02:55 who took part in the failed push for Catalan independence six years ago.

03:00 The rally was called by the conservative Spanish People`s Party ahead of key debates and a

03:04 vote in Congress on the issue.

03:06 The head of the PP, Alberto Nunez-Fejo, who won July`s general elections but doesn`t have

03:11 the majority, declared that he would not accept the amnesty.

03:26 The former Catalan regional president, Carles Puigdemont, in self-imposed exile in Brussels,

03:31 said his party would only back acting premier Pedro Sánchez if he granted amnesty to all

03:36 involved in the independence attempt.

03:38 Despite the Spanish Socialist Workers` Party losing the election, Sánchez has the best

03:42 chance of forming a new government.

03:44 At a rally in Catalonia, he condemned the People`s Party event, reminding them they

03:48 only had four days left until they lost the vote due to the lack of congressional support.

03:56 As the Catholic Church marked its 109th World Migrant and Refugee Day, Europe faces a new

04:01 wave of people fleeing their homelands.

04:05 So far this year, over 132,000 people landed in Italy, a sharp increase from the almost

04:10 70,000 last year at the same time.

04:14 Pope Francis called for compassion.

04:16 "Migrating should be a free choice, never the only one possible.

04:22 Unfortunately, misery, war and climate crisis force many people to flee.

04:30 Therefore, we are all called to create communities that are ready and open to welcome."

04:39 Europe is not the only continent facing this humanitarian crisis.

04:43 In North America, since January, almost 400,000 people have reached the Darien Gap, used to

04:49 travel to the U.S.`s southwestern border.

04:53 The number is expected to reach half a million by the end of the year.

05:00 Ireland is set to become the first country in the world to impose warning labels on alcoholic

05:05 drinks and explain how dangerous they are to your health if you drink them.

05:09 The law is due to be introduced in 2026, and there`s now a push for the entire European

05:14 Union to follow.

05:16 We believe that all consumers should have the facts about alcohol included in details

05:21 of risks.

05:22 We would also like the European Commission to publish a revision of the EU legislation

05:27 as soon as possible.

05:29 And European doctors, CPME, supports the rights of national governments to take initiatives

05:35 such as the Irish case.

05:37 The packaging on alcoholic drinks will have to warn that alcohol can cause some cancers

05:41 and liver disease, and it can be dangerous for pregnant women.

05:45 That`s prompted concern among alcohol producers across the continent who fear their sales

05:50 will be affected.

05:52 But at least one drinks industry body is not attacking the health message itself.

05:56 Instead, it`s talking about the complexities of internal market coherence and even how

06:01 the European region is defined by the World Health Organization.

06:07 We do not believe that the Irish legislation is a particularly useful or practical solution

06:13 in terms of internal market coherence to harmonize at European level.

06:18 What we need to differentiate very clearly is that usually the term Europe in such debates

06:23 refers to the WHO European regions, which stretches from Lisbon to Vladivostok, includes

06:29 Turkey and many of the Central Asian republics.

06:32 Almost 1% of EU GDP is spent on alcoholic drinks.

06:36 In 2021, EU householders spent 128 billion euros on them.

06:41 The World Health Organization welcomes Ireland`s move.

06:45 So WHO collects data from all the countries and it`s true that 1 million deaths is the

06:52 aggregated number that covers 53 countries in the European region.

06:58 So these three areas, pricing, availability, marketing, restriction, have plenty of source

07:04 of evidence that they do have an impact, they are cost effective, and they are very important

07:11 with a huge impact in reducing the mortality and also in reducing decreases in life expectancy,

07:20 which are also linked to alcohol consumption.

07:26 The first global conference on sustainable livestock transformation opened its doors

07:30 on Monday in Rome for three days of discussions.

07:35 The summit aims to engage in dialogues around innovation and pathways to efficiently produce

07:39 healthier animal-based foods while reducing their environmental footprints.

07:47 Sustainable livestock production promotes the long-term of viabilities of agri-food

07:52 system, protects natural resources, improve economic resilience and contributes to the

07:58 more sustainable and resilient future.

08:01 With global demand for animal food products expected to increase by 20% by 2050, meat,

08:07 eggs and dairy products will play a crucial role globally to ensure food security and

08:12 healthy sustainable diets.

08:14 At the same time, the conference also aims to develop the industry`s efficiency, looking

08:18 at initiatives that would meet the world`s changing needs.

08:21 We must first focus on improving the efficiencies of livestock system.

08:27 This includes optimizing feed conversion, reduce feed waste, enhancing nutrients utilization,

08:36 reducing the degradation of land and water resources, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions

08:42 and mitigating environmental degradation.

08:46 In addition, we must prioritize the adoption of climate-smart agriculture and livestock

08:52 practices.

08:54 The aim of the Rome conference is to raise awareness on the role sustainable livestock

08:58 production plays in the world and to define priorities for mobilizing scientific, technical

09:03 and financial resources.

09:10 Since March, Scotland`s waters have been gripped by an unprecedented category four marine heat

09:15 wave, an unusual event which has caused mass marine mortalities.

09:19 For some of Scotland`s salmon farms, the staggering four-degree temperature increase has led to

09:24 a heightened risk of sea lice infestations.

09:28 A recent investigation uncovered alarming evidence on five farms where fish were observed

09:33 covered in the invasive sea lice.

09:37 Marine heat waves are becoming more frequent, which creates this optimal breeding reservoir

09:42 for sea lice to rampantly reproduce. And these are the things that eat the skin, the mucus,

09:48 the blood of the salmon. And, you know, these can expel out into the wider environment in

09:53 their millions.

09:55 Sea lice typically found in low densities in the wild to become a growing concern. An

09:59 exacerbating factor is the increasing sea temperature.

10:03 2022 was a record-breaking year with salmon deaths doubling. This year, the outlook is

10:09 even grimmer. An alarming 8.9 million fish have been reported as dead on Scottish salmon

10:15 farms in 2023 already.

10:18 And while salmon farming was once seen as a potential solution to helping wild stocks

10:22 replenish, sea lice are now making it a problem as they`re spreading from the farms to wild

10:28 salmon.

10:29 Salmon farming was seen as a sort of salvation. And then, of course, the complexities become

10:36 more apparent. And right now, the numbers and size of wild salmon continue to drop.

10:44 It`s tragic.

10:45 The salmon industry says it prioritizes the well-being of the fish and stresses the technologies

10:50 and innovations it uses against the sea lice. But there are other threats that come from

10:56 rising sea temperatures. Jellyfish thrive in warmer waters and they can both sting the

11:01 salmon and block their gills. Across Europe and the world, rising sea temperatures in

11:07 2023 tested marine ecosystems and aquaculture.

11:12 Any sudden big rise that gets beyond what the animals are used to can cause stress to

11:18 the point where they will die. We could see mass mortality of aquaculture, whether they

11:23 be fish or shellfish.

11:26 Salmon is one of the U.K.'s top exports, but this year, around a quarter of farm salmon

11:30 perished. And whilst innovative solutions are being explored, the global challenge of

11:35 increasing sea temperatures will continue to affect both those who farm and fish and

11:41 the marine life they oversee.
