00:00 As mass rallies are held across the world in honor of Alexei Navalny, dozens are arrested

00:05 across Russia for holding memorials for the Kremlin critic.

00:11 The death of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has prompted mass gatherings and makeshift

00:16 memorials across Russia.

00:19 On Saturday, unidentified individuals could be seen taking away flowers left to honor

00:23 the prominent member of the Russian opposition, with the police watching on.

00:28 According to a local human rights group, around 100 people were detained in various Russian

00:33 cities at morning rallies.

00:37 Russian authorities have warned in advance against mass gatherings and protests.

00:42 Despite that, flowers, photos and candles were seen in many places across the country.

00:48 Meanwhile, rallies in support of Navalny were held around the world through Friday and Saturday,

00:54 with people gathering in front of Russian embassies and consulates.

00:58 In Buenos Aires, hundreds of Russian nationals demonstrated in front of the embassy gates,

01:03 with one man ending up detained for attempting to throw eggs at the building.

01:12 RAFA officials say two overnight Israeli airstrikes on the area have killed at least 13 people,

01:18 including nine members of the same family.

01:21 The number of Palestinians killed during Israel's war on Gaza has surpassed 28,000 people, according

01:28 to the Hamas-run health ministry.

01:31 The strikes come as Israel plans to execute an assault on the enclave's southernmost city,

01:35 where 1.4 million Palestinian men, women and children are sheltering.

01:41 The decision drew international condemnation, especially from neighboring Egypt, which openly

01:46 fears an uncontrolled flow of refugees into its territory.

01:49 However, Egyptian authorities are organizing more fundraisers to help the Palestinians

01:54 in the Strip.

01:55 On Saturday, the Ministry of Solidarity launched a charity marathon called "Run for Gaza."

02:00 Around 10,000 athletes from 30 countries are expected to participate in the march, with

02:05 the proceedings to purchase more aid.

02:10 Tens of thousands of people rallied in Budapest on Friday in support of victims of child abuse.

02:16 The protest comes following the resignation of now-former Hungarian President Katalin

02:20 Nowak after it was revealed she pardoned an accomplice of a child sexual abuser.

02:25 "It is the greatest sin to associate with someone who has assisted in this, and it is

02:30 the greatest sin to do so."

02:34 Speakers tried to avoid partisan politics, focusing instead on the children's cause.

02:39 "It's good that this protest is not so much connected to a party, but to a mass movement."

02:48 The pardon has shocked Hungarian society and opened fissures within Orbán's Fidesz party,

02:53 which has governed the country with a constitutional majority for nearly 14 years.

02:58 In an unsuccessful attempt to quell public anger, the government proposed a constitutional

03:02 amendment that would bar pardons to those convicted of crimes against minors.

03:10 Donald Trump's legal woes are far from over.

03:14 On Friday, a New York judge ruled he must pay almost $355 million in penalties due to

03:20 fraudulently overstating his net worth to trick banks and insurers.

03:24 The judge also served him with a three-year ban from serving as an officer or director

03:29 of any New York corporation.

03:32 Trump's lawyers vowed to appeal the decision.

03:35 Friday's ruling comes as the former president is running for presidency this year and faces

03:40 four criminal cases against him.

03:47 Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum in Spain is soon to feature some pop art.

03:52 The exhibition "Signs and Objects Pop Art from the Guggenheim Collection" features works

03:57 from the holdings of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.

04:00 The exhibition showcases the development of the pop art movement, which emerged in the

04:04 late 1950s in England and later in 1960 in the United States.

04:12 Pop art is really characterized by its use of mass media and visual imagery from popular

04:18 culture, so drawing on billboards, advertisements and newspapers.

04:27 Pop art's heyday lasted until around the 80s.

04:31 At the time, society was mainly characterized by consumerism.

04:35 The exhibit is showing at Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum until the 15th of September.
