Transcript

00:00The wounded and dead, many of them children, arrive at Nasser Hospital.

00:17It's the result of Israeli airstrikes on Khan Yunis.

00:21The steady stream of bloodied victims are brought in whatever vehicle can be found.

00:26The main targets of Wednesday's heavy Israeli bombardments include both Khan Yunis and

00:31Rafah.

00:32Israeli onslaught continues despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate

00:37ceasefire and on the eve of talks intended to reach a ceasefire agreement.

00:51Ukraine claims its forces have gained more ground in the Russian region of Kursk, with

00:56troops advancing a further one to two kilometres and capturing more than 100 Russian soldiers.

01:05In his nightly address, President Zelensky said Ukraine is reaching its strategic goal

01:10in the Kursk offensive, but called on Western allies to supply more weaponry.

01:16Meanwhile, Russian officials say more than 100,000 people have been evacuated from or

01:22have fled Kursk, and Russia's Belgorod region has declared a state of region-wide emergency.

01:37Who or what destroyed these pipelines two years ago?

01:41Those have been central questions for German investigators for many months.

01:46We know they've identified four divers seen near the spot at the time as being of particular

01:51interest.

01:52It's believed the authorities are working on the basis that this ship was used to transport

01:57the four to and from the site.

02:00It was raided by German police last year.

02:03In June this year, they issued an arrest warrant for one of the four divers, a Ukrainian called

02:08Volodymyr Zed, who was living in Poland, and asked the government in Warsaw to arrest him.

02:15But he managed to cross into Ukraine in early July, because Polish officials say the Germans

02:20didn't put his details on the database in time.

02:32It has been three years since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, and in that

02:36time it's imposed its interpretation of Islamic law to create what human rights groups call

02:43the world's most serious women's rights crisis.

02:50The militant group celebrated with a military parade at the Bagram Air Base, once the largest

02:55US and NATO military complex in the country.

02:58High-ranking officials were joined by representatives from China, Russia, Pakistan and Iran.

03:13More Indian hospitals were disrupted on Tuesday as doctors continued nationwide protests against

03:19the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata.

03:25Authorities and the media say demonstrations for the deceased 31-year-old gained further

03:30momentum from the previous day.

03:33Thousands of patients were left without care across the country.

03:37Kolkata state officials said emergency services remained suspended in almost all of their

03:42government-run hospitals.

03:52The interim government in Bangladesh cancelled the public holiday on August 15, following

03:57this, a mob wielding bamboo sticks in Bangladesh's capital city of Dhaka thrashed several people

04:04who were suspected to be members of the ousted Awami League on Thursday.

04:09Let's look at how this unfolded.

04:10Initially, protesters were patrolling the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum after rumours

04:16emerged that supporters of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina were planning to hold a rally

04:22at the memorial.

04:23Later on, the mob thrashed several people suspected to be supporters of Hasina with

04:29sticks and pipes, while the rest were forcibly escorted away.
