00:00
The Israeli Prime Minister said those who harm Israel will pay a heavy price,
00:04
describing how the nation was already in a multi-front war with Iran and its proxies.
00:10
UK Prime Minister Kirstjian Sturmer says the government will develop a standing
00:15
army to tackle the growing far-right riots.
00:21
Croatia has celebrated 29 years since its decisive Bosnian war storm offensive.
00:30
Israel is already in a multi-front war with Iran and its proxies, according to
00:39
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He made the comments as the United States
00:44
and allies prepared to defend Israel from an expected counter-strike,
00:48
following the assassination of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders.
01:00
As fears of an all-out regional war mount, the French government urged its nationals
01:29
to leave Lebanon as soon as possible. They could be seen arriving back in
01:33
Paris airport as the situation becomes more tense.
01:59
UK Prime Minister Kirstjian Sturmer said a standing army comprising specialist officers
02:10
would be developed to manage far-right riots gripping the country. The justice system would
02:16
also be quote, ramped up to name roughly 400 offenders arrested as part of the violence, he
02:22
said. Sturmer held an urgent meeting with cabinet members and intelligence officials at Number 10
02:42
Downing Street to tackle far-right protests spreading throughout Britain. The lawlessness
02:48
started after three girls were stabbed to death in a dance class in the English town of Southport.
02:55
Misinformation on social media about the identity of the alleged perpetrator pitted rioters against
03:02
immigrants and the Muslim community, leading to attacks on asylum seeker centres and hospitalised
03:08
police officers.
03:15
Seventy-three migrants were rescued at sea by non-profit organisation Doctors Without Borders.
03:21
The NGO performed two rescue operations off the Libyan coast.
03:25
On Friday night, the organisation helped 47 people after their boat got into trouble.
03:30
And on Saturday morning, another 26 people were rescued from another boat.
03:35
All safely boarded onto a rescue ship that is now heading to its assigned port of Ravenna in
03:40
Italy. The NGO says that two people refused help on Friday but were assisted later by two
03:46
unmarked boats that identified themselves as the Libyan Coast Guard. And also on Saturday,
03:51
the Libyan Coast Guard was spotted taking 80 migrants from an overcrowded dinghy.
03:58
Bulgaria will hold its seventh parliamentary elections in just over three years after the
04:04
main parties failed to form a government. The Researcher People ITN party returned the
04:10
third government forming mandates to President Rumen Radev unfulfilled on Monday. Chair of the
04:15
ITN parliamentary group said the parties had been unable to find common ground.
04:35
President Radev is expected to appoint a caretaker prime minister
04:39
and schedule new elections within two months.
05:04
Political stalemate in Bulgaria has hampered its efforts to participate in Europe's Schengen area.
05:11
Wildfires are scorching Albania and Croatia as blistering heat grips the continent.
05:18
Albanian firefighters could be seen battling flames in villages near the capital city of Tirana.
05:24
Over 300 firefighters and military personnel were supported by a helicopter
05:30
to control fires in the country's central-eastern region.
05:33
Hundreds of hectares of forests have already gone up in flames.
05:38
Police have arrested at least five people for setting fires
05:41
and called on hunters to be careful as the country battles a heat wave.
05:46
High temperatures, winds and weeks of drought have accelerated the spread of wildfires in
05:51
Albania and other Balkan countries like Croatia, forcing local residents to evacuate.
05:56
Firefighters have been battling massive blazes in Croatia,
05:59
which have already consumed hundreds of hectares of pine forest and vegetation.
06:03
More than 1,200 hectares have already gone up in flames as fire sites ignite across the country.
06:12
French authorities are using discretionary powers under an anti-terror law to keep those
06:18
they deem to be potential security threats away from the Olympics.
06:22
Those subject to the measures are largely from minority backgrounds,
06:26
particularly from former French colonies.
06:30
Many have been forbidden from leaving their neighbourhoods
06:32
and ordered to report to police on a daily basis.
06:36
21-year-old bank apprentice Amine, who was born in France, is among those affected.
06:42
He is not allowed to leave his South Paris suburb despite having no criminal record.
06:51
Amine was flagged to police after posting a TikTok video in October of him wearing a
07:13
Deportivo Palestino T-shirt and making obscene gestures towards the Eiffel Tower,
07:19
which was lit in Israeli colours following the October 7th attacks.
07:23
However, he was also falsely linked with an account on the video-sharing app Rave,
07:28
which posted decapitation images and comments
07:31
expressing a desire to join a terror group and kill LGBTQ plus people.
07:37
French Interior Minister GΓ©rald Darmanin says the restrictions are
07:41
in place to prevent very dangerous people from attacking the Games.
07:46
He claims minorities aren't being singled out and that people suspected
07:50
of left or right wing extremism are under surveillance too.
07:57
From the hot landscapes of North Africa to the cooler climates of Northern Europe,
08:01
migratory birds rely on ancient heathlands like these for crucial rest and resources
08:07
during their journey to breeding grounds.
08:11
But rising temperatures are challenging these delicate ecosystems.
08:16
As one vital link in this chain weakens, the next becomes increasingly crucial.
08:22
When you've got migratory species, birds in particular, they are travelling huge distances.
08:29
When you overlay climate to that, at what point do those habitats actually become
08:34
too hot for both the migratory and the resident species?
08:37
Recent data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service has recorded even higher
08:42
surface temperatures this year compared to last,
08:45
accompanied by a significant surge in ozone levels this week.
08:50
With heatwaves currently sweeping across Europe, heathlands in Denmark,
08:54
the Netherlands, Germany and Britain serve as essential pit stops for these birds.
09:00
This year's heatwave has led to a concerning 15% decline in some bird populations.
09:07
Tree pipette is just about hanging on. If that bird, you know, having made the journey
09:13
from sub-Saharan Africa, encounters conditions that are not optimal when it arrives,
09:20
you know, will we see those again? So I think absolute key is for people to work together.
09:27
The exchange of knowledge as well, but...
09:29
Before Brexit, Neil Lister co-led a European partnership funded by the EU,
09:35
focusing on cross-border conservation. He's found that maintaining these channels of
09:40
communication is essential, even in the face of a changing political landscape.
09:46
It's always nice to know that that contact is there, the channels of communication are there,
09:53
and that just that way of working is not completely lost.
09:59
As climate change continues to impact these regions,
10:02
preserving these critical resting areas and the biodiversity they support
10:07
remains a key focus for conservationists across Europe.

Military parades have taken place in Croatia to mark the 29th anniversary
10:23
of the last major battle of the Croatian War of Independence.
10:29
The 1995 Operation Storm offensive was a decisive moment in Croatia's war with Bosnia
10:36
and resulted in the recovery of territory from rebel Serb forces.
10:42
The event is commemorated annually and this year saw speeches from Croatia's leaders,
10:47
military displays and a flyover of fighter jets recently acquired from France.
10:53
Croatian Prime Minister Andrej PlenkoviΔ hailed the anniversary as a celebration of freedom.
11:23
But for Serbia, the anniversary is a sombre reminder of what it considers
11:31
a war crime that led to the mass exodus of most Serbs from Croatia.
11:37
Each year, thousands of Serbs, including families of victims,
11:41
gather to mark the anniversary with a remembrance ceremony.
