00:00 Relatives of hostages snatched from Israel face an anxious wait as a Hamas faction says

00:05 it will kill captives if Gaza family homes are attacked.

00:11 Unimaginable cruelty and 4,600 new civilian casualties, the UN`s latest report on Russia`s

00:17 invasion of Ukraine.

00:21 The Nobel Prize for Economics has been awarded to Harvard professor Claudia Goldin for her

00:25 work on the gender gap in the U.S. labor market.

00:33 Smoke continues to rise over the Gaza Strip as Israel orders a complete siege of the enclave,

00:39 striking more than 1,000 targets and halting the delivery of food, fuel and supplies to

00:44 its 2.3 million people.

00:47 Now Hamas is threatening to kill one of the more than 100 Israeli civilians and soldiers

00:52 it has taken hostage every time Israel strikes a civilian target in Gaza without warning.

00:58 The hostages, including women and children, were kidnapped during the militant group`s

01:04 surprise assault on Israel on Saturday.

01:07 More than 500 people in Gaza have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, including dozens of

01:12 children.

01:13 There are thousands more wounded on both sides.

01:16 In Israel, where authorities say the death toll has passed 900, the sound of sirens is

01:21 still a common occurrence as Hamas continues to shell the country.

01:25 It`s fired more than 4,000 rockets since Saturday, overwhelming Israel`s defenses and piercing

01:31 its Iron Dome.

01:33 The country is now facing a multi-front war after Hezbollah launched rockets from Lebanon

01:39 on Sunday in solidarity with Hamas.

01:42 On Monday, Israeli forces said they killed at least four gunmen who crossed into the

01:46 country from Lebanon.

01:49 Israel has intensified its shelling of southern Lebanon in response.

01:58 Hamas left a trail of destruction in Israel and it says it took more than 130 hostages

02:03 back to Gaza.

02:05 As the Israeli authorities try to identify who`s been taken, relatives such as Abby On

02:10 face an anxious wait.

02:11 She`s closely related to three children, their father and grandmother.

02:16 We woke early two days ago to sirens and understood that there was an attack.

02:21 And then we began getting messages from our family that Hamas was inside the kibbutz.

02:27 They were locked inside their barbed shelters and they could hear Hamas in their houses

02:31 and shooting.

02:33 And in a matter of hours, they had burned and slaughtered most of the kibbutz and the

02:37 people that they didn`t kill, they took hostage.

02:40 Israel says dozens of people of different nationalities were captured by the attackers,

02:45 but no accurate data is known yet.

02:47 It says some hostages have been liberated in fighting.

02:53 We don`t have information from the authorities, so that`s why we`re trying to do our best

02:57 to share this with the international community and to make sure that people understand that

03:03 this is not a political issue, no matter how you feel about the situation in Israel or

03:09 Palestine.

03:10 This is an issue of humanity.

03:12 These are babies and elderly and people with special needs who have been kidnapped and

03:16 are being held hostage and we want them home.

03:19 As armed patrols pour onto Israel`s streets, a militant wing of Hamas has threatened to

03:24 execute hostages in direct retaliation if Israel targets any family homes in Gaza without

03:31 warning.

03:38 Rockets from Gaza raining down on cities, hundreds of Hamas militants massacring soldiers

03:43 and civilians in Israel and taking more than 100 hostages.

03:47 It`s a nightmare come true and made possible by three catastrophic failures, according

03:52 to Peter Lerner, an Israeli national security expert.

03:55 A overconfidence in the military`s understanding of the defense mechanisms that exist, whether

04:05 it`s the Iron Dome or the barrier that was completed a couple of years ago and there

04:10 was full faith in the ability to prevent subterranean attacks, the lack of intelligence and ultimately

04:19 the failure of the defensive line itself.

04:21 So, you have these three circles of defense that did not do what they should have.

04:29 Israel`s intelligence service is world-renowned, but its conclusions did not help to prevent

04:33 the attacks.

04:34 Just a few weeks ago, senior defense officials and intelligence officials were saying that

04:40 Hamas is not interested in a widespread conflict, precisely because of previous conflicts that

04:47 they`re still licking their wounds, precisely because they want to maintain and rule the

04:51 Gaza Strip and not put that rule at threat.

04:54 This is obviously a miscalculation, a grave miscalculation of the intelligence community.

05:02 Lerner believes the army will move cautiously with hostages still held in Gaza.

05:06 And once the war against Hamas is over, he expects a thorough investigation into security

05:11 failings before Israel`s equivalent of 9/11.

05:19 The European Commission has unequivocally condemned the terrorist attacks carried out

05:24 by Hamas against Israel.

05:26 It`s confirmed it will urgently review EU financial assistance for Palestinian territories,

05:31 but has backtracked on a statement made earlier on Monday by a European commissioner that

05:36 aid would be suspended immediately.

05:38 A later release noted that as there were no payments foreseen, there will be no suspension.

05:47 Earlier on Monday, Austria said that it was suspending its bilateral aid to Palestinians.

05:52 In addition, Germany says its development aid program is under review, although not

05:57 emergency humanitarian aid.

06:01 Euronews has learned that member states were not consulted before the earlier announcement

06:05 to cut Palestinian funding.

06:10 EU foreign ministers are meeting in Muscat, Oman on Tuesday to discuss the situation.

06:21 Survivors of Saturday`s deadly earthquake in western Afghanistan burying their dead.

06:26 Authorities say 2,400 people have died after a 6.3 magnitude quake and eight aftershocks

06:33 struck 30 kilometers northwest of the city of Herat.

06:38 Another 4.2 magnitude aftershock was felt in the same area on Sunday morning.

06:44 Rescue teams are still trying to recover people trapped beneath the rubble, but digging equipment

06:48 is in short supply and communicating between remote villages is difficult.

06:53 A Taliban spokesperson from the country`s disaster management ministry said the earthquake

06:57 was "unprecedented" and warned the death toll was sure to rise.

07:03 Meanwhile, the Afghan Red Crescent has managed to get aid into the Zindagishan district in

07:10 the Herat province.

07:11 Tents, tarpaulins, water storage materials, blankets, clothing, kitchenware and food are

07:16 being distributed.

07:20 Afghanistan is frequently hit by earthquakes.

07:23 In June last year, the province of Paktika was hit by a 5.9 magnitude quake, which killed

07:29 more than 1,000 people and left tens of thousands without a home.

07:37 Since these pictures were released by Turkey`s defense ministry on Friday, its attacks on

07:42 Kurdish bases in northeastern Syria and Iraq have intensified.

07:47 According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, at least 20 people were killed and

07:51 50 injured in a Turkish air raid on a militia training center near Hasakah on Monday morning.

07:59 Turkey`s airstrikes follow a suicide bomb and gun attack on a government building in

08:03 Ankara on October the 1st, when two police officers were injured.

08:12 The latest United Nations human rights study on Ukraine reports more than 4,600 civilian

08:18 casualties from the start of February to the end of July, including 1,028 people killed.

08:26 The testimonies of survivors describe unimaginable cruelty, including terrifying accounts of

08:34 electric shocks, sexual violence and severe beatings, which in some instances led to broken

08:40 bones and smashed teeth.

08:43 Countless detainees were also forced to praise the Russian Federation, learn and sing Russian

08:48 songs and suffered severe beatings for failing or for speaking Ukrainian.

08:53 Appalling detention conditions, including food and medical shortages, poor living conditions

08:58 and sleep deprivation persisted.

09:02 The latest findings bring the U.N.`s tally of civilian deaths since Russia`s full-scale

09:06 invasion to almost 10,000, and since it only counts fully documented cases, the full death

09:12 toll is likely to be much higher.

09:14 The U.N. is also concerned about forced assimilation in occupied territories, with civilians forced

09:20 to take Russian passports or face persecution.

09:28 The Nobel Prize in economics has been awarded to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin

09:33 for her research on the gender gap in the U.S. labor market, an accomplishment that

09:37 is a tiny step towards the Nobel Prize closing its own gender gap, as Goldin is just the

09:42 third woman to win the economics prize out of its 93 laureates.

09:47 Using 200 years of data, Goldin revealed some of the reasons why women`s pay has not cut

09:52 up to men`s, despite women reaching higher levels of education, information that allows

09:56 policymakers to try to tackle the problem.

10:04 The votes are in, and Greece`s conservative New Democracy Party has come out on top of

10:09 Sunday`s local elections.

10:11 The party of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis won seven of the country`s 13 regions, including

10:18 one of its largest, Athens.

10:20 And now he`s hoping to take the other six in the second round.

10:23 I think there was no specific message in these elections.

10:29 There were just some conclusions, confirming some things that we saw in the national elections.

10:36 The first is the dominance of the ruling party in the election scene.

10:42 A second small conclusion is the fact that the "Kaselakiada" and this "GEL" that Mr.

10:48 Kaselakis has been talking about in the media and in some Syriza reporters, we don`t see

10:54 it in the level of the national election body.

10:58 New Democracy`s victory comes despite criticism the ruling party faced for its response to

11:03 wildfires and floods that plagued the country over the summer.

11:07 Three months after the national elections, the citizens` vote in the self-governing elections

11:11 confirmed the political scene that has been formed.

11:15 But apart from the ruling party, the abstention also prevailed, which reached almost 70% in

11:22 the largest municipality of Greece, the municipality of Athens.

11:28 Voters will return to the polls on the 15th of October for a second round runoff.
