00:00Carlos Alcaraz will face Novak Djokovic in the singles tennis final on Sunday while Argentina

00:06was jeered in the football quarterfinal against France.

00:15Russian dissidents who were released in the biggest East-West prisoner swap since the

00:19Cold War held a press conference in Bonn, Germany.

00:24They pledged to return one day, hoping for a different Russia and promising to continue

00:29their activism.

00:59Russia freed 15 people in last week's exchange, most of whom had been jailed on charges widely

01:09seen as politically motivated.

01:13Hundreds of Berlin trains were cancelled amid a suspected sabotage attack causing a cable

01:19fire on a railroad line.

01:23Deutsche Bahn said train services are expected to be restricted until next week, especially

01:29in Berlin.

01:31The railroad company say a technical cause for the cable fire has been ruled out.

01:38The Berlin state official of criminal investigation has now taken over the case, according to

01:44German police.

01:49The men's tennis singles final is set.

01:53Spain's Carlos Alcaraz will face Serbia's Novak Djokovic on Sunday.

01:59In men's football, France knocked out Argentina in a heated rematch of the 2022 World Cup

02:06final with the Argentinians jeered by the crowd.

02:11The neutral team won their first gold medal as Belarusian athlete Ivan Liftinovich defended

02:18his Olympic title in men's trampoline.

02:21In swimming, Leon Marchand completed a dominating run by claiming his fourth gold, this time

02:29in the 200-metre individual medley.

02:48Two people were killed during protests in Bangladesh as crowds attempted to keep pressure

02:53on the government following the deaths of 200 people last month.

02:58Those 200 had died in violent demonstrations following weeks of rallies over controversial

03:03reforms in the job quota system.

03:06Over 2,000 protesters gathered in parts of the capital chanting justice for the victims

03:11as police officers circled around them.

03:14Protesters had started peacefully against the system allocating government jobs but

03:18morphed into a challenge against the Bangladeshi Prime Minister.

03:24The European Commission is concerned Russian and Belarusian spies could infiltrate the

03:30Schengen zone through new visas handed out by Hungary.

03:34EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ilve Johansson wrote to Hungarian Interior Minister Sándor

03:40Pinter asking for clarification on how the new national card scheme will not be used

03:45to circumvent EU restrictions.

03:47According to the Hungarian government, the two-year visa can be given out to foreign

03:51workers now including Belarusian and Russian nationals.

03:55An expert told Euronews 500 Russian intelligence agents have been expelled from the EU since

04:02the war in Ukraine began in 2022 and Russia could need to replace them.

04:07Russia has much fewer, so to speak, traditional spies in Europe than it had before the Great

04:13Plague War.

04:14So Russia is forced to abandon spying in other ways, increasingly abandoning it in other

04:20ways.

04:21So it is not the job of spies disguised as diplomats, but in all kinds of other coverage,

04:27sometimes even the coverage of guest workers.

04:33Johansson said she sent Budapest questions about the program and if she does not get

04:38answers by August 19, Brussels will respond with consequences.
