00:00The man killed in a shootout with officers near the Israeli consulate in Munich was known

00:07to police in Austria.

00:11A search is ongoing for a man who was swept away after violent rainstorms caused widespread

00:16flooding across northern Italy.

00:21The first batch of mpox vaccines from the EU arrives in the DRC three weeks after an

00:26international health emergency was declared.

00:30The fifth edition of the World Nomad Games is about to kick off in Astana, with around

00:3590 countries competing in disciplines like horseback archery and falconry.

00:43Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is changing half of his government, insisting

00:47that new energy is needed and that state institutions must be set up to achieve results.

00:53This is the biggest reshuffle since Russia's invasion in February 2022.

00:57Critics argue that there is not much new energy, given that most of the names are already known

01:02and served in different capacities.

01:04Without the possibility of having elections due to martial law, not much more can be done,

01:08says one MP.

01:09Well, it is important to understand that in Ukraine, cabinet ministers is basically the

01:16only governmental body that can be reshuffled during the time of war, during the martial

01:22law state.

01:23We cannot have elections of parliament, we cannot have elections of president.

01:28But of course, we need new energy, we need new people, we need new approaches, at least

01:34in government.

01:35In October 2023, Ukraine was supposed to hold parliamentary elections and a presidential

01:39election in the spring of 2024.

01:42But with Russia's full-scale invasion, the voting was legally prohibited.

01:47Around 18% of the country's territory is currently occupied by Russia, and millions have been

01:51forced to flee.

01:53We do expect organization of even new ministries due to the situation that we have so many

02:03people abroad and we have to have this better communication with them.

02:08So just Minister of Foreign Affairs cannot do that.

02:11By the end of 2023, 4.9 million Ukrainians lived abroad because of Russia's invasion,

02:16and half of them could not return to Ukraine.

02:21The man killed in a shootout with officers near the Israeli consulate in Munich was known

02:29to police in Austria.

02:32Searching his home in Salzburg, police say the man, identified as 18-year-old Emra I,

02:37had come to the attention of police in February last year and had been investigated for terrorist

02:42links.

02:43In advance of the incident in 2023, the responsible security authority confirmed the police-involved

02:52weapon ban in Salzburg and this would be valid until 2028.

02:58Emra I, identified by police as an Austrian national with Bosnian roots, was spotted by

03:03police near the Israeli consulate carrying a long firearm.

03:07He engaged in a shootout with five local police officers who opened fire with their service

03:11weapons.

03:12Authorities believe he was planning an attack on the Israeli consulate, but the motive is

03:17still being investigated.

03:18We cannot say anything about the motive at the moment.

03:23This will also be the subject of investigations.

03:25We are sensitive to such a day as today and were also here with object protection forces

03:31on site.

03:32Israel's foreign ministry said the consulate in Munich was closed when the shooting occurred.

03:39The incident comes on the 52nd anniversary of the attack by Palestinian militants on

03:44the Israeli delegation at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

03:48That ended with the deaths of 11 Israeli team members, a West German police officer and

03:53five of the assailants.

04:01In a tearful interview, Italy's culture minister, Gennaro Sangiuliano, confessed to having had

04:06an affair with influencer Maria Rosario Boccia.

04:11He had also nominated her as his advisor for major events, which Boccia shared in a post

04:16on Instagram.

04:18He apologized to the government, his collaborators and his wife, saying Boccia's nomination has

04:23since been revoked.

04:26He also expressed willingness to resign should it be sought by Italian Prime Minister Giorgio

04:30Maloni.

04:38A wave of violent rainstorms has battered parts of northern Italy, flooding Milan and

04:42raising fears for the life of a man who was swept away in the Piedmont region.

04:48Local rescuers said they were searching for the missing 58-year-old after his tractor

04:52overturned in floodwater.

04:54A river overflowed in Val di Susa, collapsing two bridges, blocking a provincial road and

04:59isolating about 50 people in two villages.

05:03Two other northern regions, Lombardy and Veneto, were hit by widespread flooding, which caused

05:08damage and disruption in the city of Milan.

05:12Firefighters in Milan said they had responded to dozens of calls to rescue people stuck

05:16in their cars in flooded underpasses and to drain basements filled with water.

05:22Some subway services had to be suspended due to the flooding.

05:25Scientists warn that the climate crisis is increasing the frequency of extreme weather

05:30events such as heatwaves, droughts and flooding.

05:33They say storms are becoming heavier because warm air can hold more moisture.

05:38Southern Italy has recently been suffering a severe drought, causing massive problems

05:42for local agriculture and tourism, especially in the islands of Sicily and Sardinia.

05:53Protesters have marched in Tel Aviv, carrying coffins draped with the Israeli flag, symbolizing

05:58the hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza.

06:02Around 70 Israelis are thought to be held captive following the Hamas incursion into

06:06Israel last October.

06:08Protesters are angry at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not doing enough to secure their

06:12return.

06:14On Wednesday, Netanyahu said Israel must keep open-ended control of Gaza's border with Egypt,

06:19which protesters fear could derail ceasefire talks.

06:28The first batch of Mpox vaccines has arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo, three

06:32weeks after the World Health Organization declared a health emergency of international

06:37concern.

06:38The 100,000 doses, manufactured by the Danish company Bavarian Nordic, have been donated

06:43by the European Union through HERA, the bloc's agency for health emergencies.

06:48These deliveries are part of the 215,000 vaccine doses that the European Commission's

06:54HERA, that is the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority, procured and also

07:01pledged to share with affected countries in Africa.

07:05Congolese authorities confirmed a further 100,000 doses are expected to be delivered

07:10from the EU on Saturday.

07:13UNICEF will run the vaccination campaign in the most impacted provinces of the DRC, but

07:18it's unclear when the vaccination drive will begin.

07:22About 380,000 doses of Mpox vaccines have been promised by Western partners such as

07:27the European Union and the United States.

07:30The majority of Mpox cases and deaths are in the DRC, where the new variant was first

07:35detected and where most infections are in children under 15.

07:39Following the global Mpox outbreak in 2022, wealthy countries quickly responded with vaccines

07:44and treatments from their stockpiles.

07:47However, only a few doses have reached Africa, despite pleas from governments there.

07:59As the Paralympics wrap up in Paris, another global sporting event begins in Astana, the

08:06World Nomad Games.

08:08Athletes use ancient warfare skills of historically nomadic peoples in sports like horse wrestling,

08:16horseback archery, martial arts and falconry, but also compete in cultural and scientific

08:23games.

08:25The aim is to develop and preserve the ethno-cultural movement, which has in host country Kazakhstan

08:33one of its most important cradles.

08:46Over 2,000 athletes and around 90 countries will be there.

09:00The list of participating nations has grown way beyond those with a nomadic heritage.

09:06What's interesting is that we see countries coming, the geography of participating countries

09:12from Australia to Canada, from South Africa to Great Britain, those states that have little

09:19nomadic history in the past, so meaning that these games are actually going around the

09:25world and we see this great interest.

09:28The World Nomad Games take place from Sunday the 8th of September to the 13th of September.

09:43This wall, built in the heart of the Polish forest of Bialowieża, has been dividing Belarus

09:50to my left from Poland for two years, a barrier against the influx of thousands of migrants,

09:55of which Minsk is accused of orchestrating the transition towards the European Union,

10:00a subject that polarizes the Polish opinion more than ever.

10:12On August 14, 2021, Belarusians joined the World Nomad Games.

10:16The Party of Nations had agreed to host the Games in the territory of the Commonwealth of Poland.

10:21The Games were held in Belarus.

10:29Glory to the heroes!

10:32Glory to the heroes!

10:35We care for the safety of our country, first of all our families,

10:40of our values that Poland has.

10:45We also go along the border

10:49to stop this wave of illegal immigration.

11:10I would like to stay in Poland,

11:15because what we have done to the communists

11:19is not only about love.

11:24If there is no vote to accept

11:27the international security resolution,

11:30then unfortunately they will be put on the border

11:33and forced to leave for Belarus.

11:36No.
