00:00
A British man died and more than two dozen passengers got injured during a severe turbulence
00:07
on a London-Singapore flight on Tuesday.
00:11
The plane took off from Heathrow Airport with 211 passengers on board and had to make an
00:18
emergency landing in Bangkok at 3.45 p.m. local time.
00:24
authorities said the victim might have suffered a heart attack.
00:30
I just know that Mr. English mentioned and then have like heart attack problem.
00:42
So maybe he's have a heart attack on plane or not.
00:47
But after the doctor have to investigate his body.
00:52
Tracking data shows the plane suddenly and sharply pitched down by nearly 2,000 metres
01:00
in around three minutes, staying at an altitude of 9,400 metres before rapidly descending
01:07
and landing in Bangkok in just under half an hour.
01:11
Airports of Thailand group said all injured passengers are being treated at a facility
01:16
inside Suvarna Bhumi Airport.
01:21
Nine defendants are going on trial in Frankfurt, Germany over an alleged far-right attempt
01:34
to forcibly overthrow the government.
01:37
The case shocked the country back in 2022.
01:41
Around 260 witnesses are supposed to attend.
01:45
The large number of defendants, lawyers and media dealing with the case are being held
01:51
in a courthouse built specifically for this trial.
01:56
We don't have a room that would have been suitable for this trial
02:02
given the security precautions and the size of the people.
02:08
The trial has a scale that the High Court has never had before.
02:14
We have a trial with nine defendants, who currently have 25 defendants.
02:20
We also have a large amount of indictment that goes beyond what we know so far.
02:28
Defendants include Eirik XIII, Prince Reuss, whom the group allegedly planned to install
02:36
as Germany's provisional new leader.
02:39
There's also a judge and former lawmaker with the far-right AFD party,
02:44
as well as ex-German military officers.
02:47
Most of them have been charged with belonging to a terrorist organisation.
02:52
The trial, starting on Tuesday, is the second of three major proceedings
02:57
into the so-called "Reichsbürgers",
03:00
people who allegedly don't recognise the Federal Republic of Germany.
03:05
Another trial began in Stuttgart in April,
03:08
while a third one is expected to start in Munich in June.
03:14
The Slovak Parliament reconvened for the first time on Tuesday
03:19
since the shooting of Prime Minister Robert Fico last week.
03:23
In a landmark resolution, MPs unanimously called on all parties
03:28
to respect election results and refrain from spreading hatred against opponents.
03:34
The move follows a public outcry over the attack on the PM,
03:38
which many say stemmed from an atmosphere of toxicity and lies surrounding Slovak politics.
03:45
Prime Minister Fico remains in hospital in a serious but non-life-threatening condition.
03:51
Medical staff said he remains conscious and communicative.
03:56
Meanwhile, investigations into the attack go on.
03:59
A male individual was detained immediately after the incident.
04:04
Following a police search at his apartment,
04:08
a court ordered that the suspect remain behind bars.
04:12
Government officials initially sustained that the shooter was probably a lone wolf.
04:17
However, on Sunday, they said that he might have been helped by someone else.
04:23
The Austrian Chancellor praised Britain as a pioneer in outsourcing migrants to places outside of Europe.
04:33
In Vienna, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer praised the UK's Rwanda scheme
04:38
at a joint news conference with the UK's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
04:44
Austria and the UK have agreed to work together to change the European legal system
04:49
to allow the deportation of migrants to safe third countries.
04:54
With the partnership with the UK, we can now actually make a change in the process of discussion.
05:03
That's why there is full support for the British way from the Austrian side.
05:09
Business as usual won't solve this problem.
05:12
We have to think creatively.
05:14
We have to pursue new ideas, new solutions and deterrence,
05:18
removals to safe third countries like the UK's pioneering Rwanda scheme.
05:23
Austria is among 15 EU countries calling for more agreements with countries migrants depart from.
05:30
This call followed EU nations endorsing major asylum system reforms.
05:35
Serbia's left-wing Socialist Movement Party has announced it will draft a bill
05:43
aiming to restrict the activities of foreign NGOs operating in the Balkan country.
05:49
The betrayal of our own country and people cannot be highly profitable.
05:55
The draft closely resembles the highly controversial foreign agent law
06:00
which is expected to be implemented in Georgia soon.
06:03
Serbian voters will head to the ballot box on June 2
06:07
to participate in a rerun of last year's federal election.
06:11
The proposed anti-foreign NGO law could bring more votes to the Serbian Socialist Movement.
06:17
I truly believe that the threat to the interests of the Republic of Serbia
06:21
is if there are non-governmental organisations that are being financed from abroad
06:27
and work here to promote Kosovo as an independent state,
06:33
to promote the existence of genocide in Srebrenica,
06:38
to destroy the Republic of Serbia.
06:42
NGOs such as the Youth Initiative for Human Rights are concerned
06:47
the bill will impact their and Serbian society's future.
06:51
I see these announcements as a means of intimidating the pre-segregation society
06:56
and independent media,
06:58
that is, the media that critically question the behaviour of the government,
07:03
and on the other hand, organisations that try to reform the society
07:09
by proposing certain policies.
07:12
Through these announcements we see a kind of voluntary ban
07:16
on the use of certain democratic principles.
07:19
The law could hang Serbia's EU member state candidacy in the balance.
07:25
Spain's Popular Party presented its policy platform for the upcoming EU elections
07:38
and are using it to critique Federal Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government.
07:43
We have led in Europe the defence of the rule of law
07:47
and the permanent denunciation of the infamous amnesty of Sánchez and Puigdemont.
07:51
The opposition is targeting democracy, economy, social policies and geopolitical leadership
07:57
and will attempt to garner younger voters' support.
08:00
We are working on a proposal to exempt them from paying taxes
08:04
during the first years of their professional careers.
08:07
Party leader Fuego promised to make this one of the electoral campaign's central points
08:13
but noted the challenges.
08:15
Sometimes I have the impression that a document like this
08:18
is relegated to the dispute, to the political game, to the smoke, to the noise.
08:23
It comes after far-right party Vox drew thousands of attendees at a rally in the capital,
08:28
attended by Argentinian President Javier Millet.
08:31
A row between the countries sparked by comments made by Millet
08:35
threatened to overshadow the start of Spain's EU election campaign.
08:39
I think it's a shame that the interests of 48 million Spaniards and 46 million Argentinians
08:45
are being kidnapped by a way of doing politics.
08:48
The party leader advocated for calm amid barbs traded between the leaders' governments.
08:54
Support for the popular party at the ballot box in June.
09:00
Despite the words of Alberto Núñez and Joaquín in the presentation of the PP's electoral program,
09:05
the diplomatic crisis between Spain and Argentina
09:07
places the story where its political adversaries want it to.
09:10
On the one hand, Vox's demonstration of force at its weekend rally
09:14
reveals that it does not give up disputing the PP's anti-Sanchismo flag.
09:19
And Sánchez, on the other hand, considers the PSOE as the wall
09:22
against what he calls the "ultra-right-wing international".
09:25
Because beyond the political programs,
09:27
the electoral campaigns always mark the times.
09:30
Everyone knows how it starts, but no one knows how it ends.
09:33
In Madrid, Jaime Velázquez, Euronews.
09:36
I am in Hungary, in Debrecen in particular,
09:45
the second city in the country and one of the bastions of the faithfulness of the party of Prime Minister Víctor Orban.
09:50
Behind me you have several thousand people gathered, not in support of the government,
09:53
but on the call of a man, Peter Magyar, who embodies a new opposition
09:57
and who presents his list to the European elections in June 2024.
10:00
His popularity is climbing the ranks and the hopes of a change in Hungarian society accompany him.
10:04
So for Witness, we will try to understand what are the challenges of these elections,
10:07
but above all, what future is drawn for Hungarians.
10:18
If someone is sick and cannot afford medical treatment, and cannot afford medical treatment...
10:23
...then he is a traitor.
10:25
We are the most corrupt country, so it's too much for the Hungarian people.
10:37
It's too much together, economically, politically, legally, ethically, it's too much.
10:42
It will be challenging for him, you know, just to keep his success alive.
11:04
And what we know for sure is that Fidesz will do anything to discredit him.
11:12
I think that he needs a chance, and I think he has a chance, because he is new,
11:17
and he has come from the system that he is trying to take down.
11:21
I don't have a belief that if he would be Hungary's Prime Minister, everything would change,
11:28
that everything would be automatically better.
11:32
I think changing the current system that has been governing here for the past 14 years would be a step.
