00:00 As Israel claimed to have destroyed 130 Hamas tunnels, an exodus on foot saw thousands of

00:06 Palestinians flee Gaza City.

00:10 The families of hostages taken by Hamas ask the European Parliament for help to release

00:16 them.

00:22 An historic day as Ukraine is one step closer to EU membership.

00:34 Israel said it had destroyed 130 Hamas tunnels in the Gaza Strip since it began its ground

00:39 operations.

00:40 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israel Defense Forces were encircling Gaza

00:45 City and operating inside it.

00:48 UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said that the number of civilians killed in

00:53 the Gaza Strip shows that there is something clearly wrong with Israel's military operation

00:58 against the Islamist Hamas organization.

01:01 According to the Hamas-run health ministry in the besieged territory, the Israeli military

01:05 campaign has killed 10,569 people, many of them children.

01:11 The pace of Palestinian civilians fleeing south from northern Gaza has accelerated as

01:15 strikes intensified. Crowds of Palestinians took heed of Israeli military orders and fled

01:21 northern Gaza on Wednesday during a four-hour window to evacuate. Thousands of people walked

01:27 down Gaza's main north-south Salah al-Din highway with only what they could carry in

01:32 their arms, some of them holding makeshift white flags.

01:35 The Qatari government is mediating in collaboration with the United States for Hamas to release

01:40 some of the hostages it's been holding since October 7, in exchange for Benjamin Netanyahu's

01:45 allowing a humanitarian pause in Gaza.

01:53 It's been more than a month since at least 245 people in Israel were taken hostages by

01:58 Hamas.

01:59 Shai Venkert is one of the family members that visited the European Parliament on Wednesday

02:04 asking the EU to help bring their beloved back home.

02:10 This is my son that is beating, slaughtered and the gun pointed at him. He is with handcuffs

02:18 but he is still looking at the camera like he is angry. Don't beat me, I'm handcuffed.

02:24 Omer is 22 years old. He's a very handsome, very beautiful boy. He only went to a party,

02:32 to a fest, to the Nova Fest, to celebrate happiness and freedom and love.

02:40 Four more family members of hostages are at the European Parliament to ask for more international

02:44 and European pressure for the release of the hostages.

02:49 Between them, Yoni Asher is really anxious for his wife and his two daughters who are

02:54 still being kept as hostages of Hamas. His mother-in-law was also taken. She was murdered

02:59 that day by Hamas. All of them are European citizens. He described to Euronews what brought

03:04 him to Brussels.

03:05 I couldn't do anything. I was helpless. I had nothing to do besides fall down on the

03:18 floor. But after not long ago, I decided it's either fight for the life of my family or

03:30 die. So I have only, not two choices, I have only one choice.

03:37 Despite his pain, Yoni finds words to tell the children in Gaza too.

03:46 You know something, if the son, the one who got kidnapped, my babies, if his son or daughter,

03:54 little daughter or son, was right here next to me right now, you know what I would do?

03:59 I would hug them and kiss them. You know why? Because children are children. But what would

04:05 you do instead of me? What would you do if your children were kidnapped from their grandmother's

04:10 living room? Would you not use any mean you have in order to get them back, to save their

04:17 lives?

04:18 Shah and Yoni support the decisions of the Israeli government's actions in Gaza. But

04:23 some other relatives are asking the government to start negotiations with Hamas.

04:27 Shona Murray, Your News, Brussels.

04:38 Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel Defense Forces are operating inside Gaza City. Referring

04:44 to Palestinian sources, the Institute for the Study of Wars says the IDF forces reached

04:50 an apartment building just north of al-Shatiyah camp here in this area. Israeli forces continued

04:58 clearing operations in Beit Hanun here. The IDF said that the forces destroyed several

05:05 Hamas tunnels inside a residential home in Beit Hanun. Most of the tunnels are built

05:11 beneath densely populated areas and targeting these structures would be fundamental for

05:18 the next phase and may take months to complete as military operations could further endanger

05:23 the hostages who are believed to be held in the tunnels.

05:32 Ukraine is one step closer to joining the European Union. The European Commission has

05:36 recommended member states formally open accession talks with Kiev. Although outstanding work

05:41 on fundamental reforms needs to be met in the coming months, nonetheless, the President

05:45 of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said today was a historical day.

05:50 "It is now ten years ago that the protests on Maidan started. Maidan protests where people

05:59 were shot because they wrapped themselves into a European flag. And now, ten years later,

06:10 today is a historic day because today the Commission recommends that the Council opens

06:17 accession negotiations with Ukraine and with Moldova."

06:22 In a 150-page assessment, the EU says Ukraine has made significant progress in tackling

06:28 corruption, the influence of oligarchs on political life, the rights of minorities and

06:32 the independence of the judicial system, although some more work is required in these areas.

06:37 Speaking to Euronews, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister said these issues would be resolved

06:42 soon and oligarchs would no longer be a problem in Ukraine.

06:45 "Experts and leaders of opinion have said oligarchs are officially dead, not from the

06:53 physical point of view but as a creation of the post-Soviet transition period. So there

07:02 are many things to be accomplished but basically we have been recognised as a country which

07:10 has overcame this influence and there is no way back."

07:15 The EU strongly commended Ukraine`s progress in the midst of the Russian invasion of their

07:18 country which created the momentum for theirs and Moldova`s membership bid. All 27 member

07:24 states have to unanimously agree to move Ukraine to accession talks. If all goes to plan, a

07:29 timeline for starting negotiations would then emerge for early 2024. Shona Murray, Euronews,

07:37 Brussels.

07:40 A pro-Russian politician has been killed in an apparent car bomb attack in Ukraine`s occupied

07:48 Luhansk region. Mikhail Filiponenko`s son told local media he died after suffering fatal

07:54 injuries in the explosion. He was the only person in the car. Filiponenko was a member

07:59 of the so-called People`s Council, a local parliament set up by Moscow aligned officials.

08:04 Luhansk is one of four Ukrainian regions illegally annexed by Russia after its invasion in February

08:10 2022.

08:18 Police evacuated a secondary school in Hamburg, northern Germany on Wednesday after being

08:22 alerted to the presence of two individuals suspected of carrying a firearm. Armed officers

08:28 searched the premises. Police reported that two teenagers probably pulled out a gun in

08:35 the building and then fled. The remaining students were taken to a nearby police station

08:40 until the arrival of their parents. The Bild newspaper reported that a teacher was threatened

08:45 by the teenagers and raised the alarm.

08:51 The Coca-Cola company in Croatia is pulling some of its products from shelves as there

08:56 were reports of several people falling ill after consuming bottled drinks. The authorities

09:01 are recommending people drink only tap water as they investigate the reasons behind the

09:06 cases of suspected poisoning. A total of eight people have been admitted to hospitals, mainly

09:12 in Zagreb, but a majority have relatively mild symptoms. Reports of alleged poisoning

09:18 emerged over the weekend after a man was hospitalized after drinking fizzy bottled water in a cafe.

09:27 Denmark tops the table for world`s worst binge drinkers, but British women are not far behind.

09:32 According to research from the OECD, the country`s drinking culture could be the reason why 26

09:38 percent of women in UK drink more than six drinks in one session at least once a month.

09:44 This is the equivalent of six 10-centiliter glasses of wine or six half-pints of beer.

09:49 The harmful use of alcohol is estimated to be a factor for more than 200 diseases and

09:53 injuries. Turkey, Italy and Greece have the lowest numbers of binge drinkers.

10:03 Last weekend`s heavy snowfall has been welcomed by many in the Alps. It means some ski resorts

10:10 are already turning into winter wonderlands. More than 60 centimeters of snow fell at an

10:16 altitude of 2,400 meters, building up a base layer of snow and kick-starting the season.

10:22 It`s a pleasure, yes. Especially that in recent years there is a little less snow, it`s a pleasure

10:33 to find good conditions.

10:35 It allows us to kick-start the season in an early way, it creates a certain emulation

10:39 with the clientele for the winter sports and it allows us to sell our annual subscriptions

10:44 as best as possible.

10:45 We needed snow, we lost three meters of ice this summer again. So, we need snow. After

10:50 that, if we accumulate, there is one meter, two meters that fall quickly. It was still

10:54 quite hot, there was also ice that was made, ice. And after that, we need a little time

10:59 to reopen the facilities and prepare the ski area.

11:04 The cold weather is expected to continue for the coming week, with forecasts of significant

11:09 snowfall.

11:15 A copy of the first folio of Shakespeare`s plays goes on display in London as Britain

11:19 and the World marks the 400th anniversary of its publication. The copy put on display

11:24 at the Corporation of London`s Guildhall Library for one day only is one of the best preserved

11:29 versions of the folio. The anniversary of the publication on the 8th of November 1623

11:35 has also been celebrated by sending a weather balloon into space, carrying a portrait of

11:39 the English playwright and a speech from a Midsummer Night`s Dream.

11:43 You'll see often the books all match.
