Catalonia holds crucial regional elections in Spain that will test support for the separatist
00:06
movement.
00:12
Catalonia is holding a crucial regional election on Sunday, the outcome of which will reverberate
00:18
in Spain's national politics.
00:20
More than 5.7 million voters are eligible to take part in a ballot that will test the
00:25
strength of the separatist movement and the policies of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
00:31
Voters will choose lawmakers for the regional parliament based in Barcelona.
00:36
Separatists have held the regional government for more than a decade, but recent polling
00:40
has shown that support for the separatist movement has shrunk.
00:44
Its lack of popularity could be due to the former regional president, Carles Puigdemont,
00:49
who led a futile breakaway campaign in 2017.
00:53
Puigdemont is a fugitive in France since he fled the country, but is running in this
00:57
election from southern France.
01:00
He is currently under investigation from terrorism, but is hoping to be granted amnesty under
01:05
Prime Minister Sánchez's new policies.
01:12
Russian authorities have said an apartment block in the border city of Belgorod has collapsed
01:17
after Ukraine shelled it.
01:20
Seven people were reported dead and 15 injured after a section of the multi-storey apartment
01:26
block partially collapsed.
01:29
Ukraine has yet to comment on the incident and rarely comments on any attack it carries
01:33
out on Russia.
01:36
The Belgorod region, on Russia's western border, has been the target of a large number of strikes.
01:47
Switzerland has won this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
01:51
Nemo took the coveted glass microphone with the song The Code, an ode to the singer's
01:56
journey towards embracing a non-binary identity.
02:15
There was opposition to Israel's participation because of the ongoing war in Gaza.
02:21
But the country's entrant, Eden Golan, said it was an honour to appear.
02:27
The contest was also marked by mass protests in support of Palestine, with as many as 10,000
02:33
said to have taken part.
02:36
This is Switzerland's third Eurovision win overall and first since 1988.
02:46
Thousands of people have been marching through the streets of Tbilisi this weekend in protest
02:50
at a newly proposed law on foreign influence.
02:54
If it's adopted, it will require media outlets and any organisations that receive more than
03:01
20 per cent of their budget from overseas to be registered as working in the interests
03:06
of foreign countries.
03:08
The opposition has denounced the bill as the Russian law.
03:12
Moscow has been using similar legislation against any independent news media and organisations
03:17
that are critical of Vladimir Putin's government.
03:20
This march was held on Saturday, which was Europe Day.
03:24
Many of the protesters fear the bill will push Georgia towards Russia's sphere of influence,
03:29
meaning that the path to joining the EU will be blocked.
03:32
But the ruling Georgian Dream Party says the bill is necessary to stop harmful foreign
03:37
influences and prevent foreign actors destabilising the country.
03:47
Israeli police pushed an anti-government demonstration in Tel Aviv away from a main traffic junction
03:53
using water cannons and arresting some of the protesters.
03:58
The protesters continue to demand that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should resign,
04:03
but not before he has signed up to a deal with Hamas to secure the release of the hostages.
04:10
There are believed to be about 132 hostages in Gaza, but it's not clear whether some may
04:15
have died in the midst of the war.
