00:16country's state flag day.

00:22Ukraine's military says it used high-precision US-supplied glide bombs for strikes in Russia's

00:45At least three people have been killed and five others seriously wounded in an attack

00:49at a festival in the western German city of Zollingen.

00:53Ukrainian media citing police sources said the weapon used was believed to be a knife.

00:58Witnesses alerted police shortly after 9.30 p.m. local time after the assailant stabbed

01:03several people at random.

01:06Police said the attacker was on the run and that so far they have very little information

01:10about the man.

01:11They also said they believe the stabbings were carried out by a lone attacker.

01:30Zollingen was holding a festival of diversity to mark the city's 650th anniversary.

01:36It was supposed to run until Sunday but has now been cancelled.

01:45Ukraine's military says it used high-precision US-supplied glide bombs for strikes in Russia's

01:50Kursk region.

01:52A commander with Ukraine's air force published a video on Thursday night purporting to show

01:56a Russian platoon base being hit in Kursk.

02:00He said the attack with GBU-39 bombs, which was supplied by the United States, resulted

02:05in Russian casualties and the destruction of equipment.

02:09Many of Ukraine's international allies oppose the country using donated weapons for anything

02:13but defensive purposes.

02:15However, Ukraine has argued that its Kursk incursion is essentially defensive and aimed

02:21at creating a buffer zone to minimize attacks on Ukrainian soil.

02:25Meanwhile, the United States has imposed a fresh round of sanctions on more than 400

02:30entities and individuals for supporting Russia's war effort.

02:34That includes sanctions on Chinese companies that American officials believe are helping

02:38Moscow skirt Western sanctions and build up its military.

02:47A 30-metre Ukrainian flag has been unfurled outside the European Commission building in

02:52Brussels to mark the country's state flag day.

02:55The ceremony on Friday was attended by representatives of the Commission as well as the European

03:00Parliament, the Diplomatic Corps and several Ukrainians.

03:04European Parliament Vice President Sophie Wilmers said that she was pleased to once

03:08again express the steadfast support of the European Parliament for Ukraine.

03:13While the EU Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton said the Commission condemns

03:18the ongoing missile and drone attacks by Russia aimed at civilian populations.

03:25As Friday turned into Saturday, Ukraine was still ever-present in the Belgian capital.

03:31August 24th sees Ukraine mark Independence Day, the day it declared itself a sovereign

03:36nation from the former Soviet Union.

03:39The station Europe Visitor Centre was illuminated in the colours of the Ukrainian flag to mark

03:44the day, as was the European Commission building.

03:52Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said he's suspending his independent presidential bid and is instead

03:57endorsing Donald Trump in November's race for the White House.

04:02In a speech on Friday, he said he would seek to remove his name from the ballot in battleground

04:07states because he believes his presence in the race would help Democratic rival Kamala

04:11Harris.

04:13Kennedy Jr. is the son of the late Attorney General and Senator Robert Kennedy and the

04:17nephew of President John F. Kennedy, both heavyweights in Democratic Party history.

04:23He acknowledged his decision to endorse Trump had caused tension within his immediate family.

04:30Campaigning in Las Vegas, Donald Trump said it was a great honour to receive Kennedy's

04:34endorsement.

04:38He called him a great guy and said he was respected by everybody.

04:42The U.S. presidential election takes place on November 5.
