00:00Protesters in Tel Aviv carry makeshift coffins to demand the Israeli government secure the

00:06release of the hostages still being held in Gaza.

00:12The man killed in a shootout with officers near the Israeli consulate in Munich was known

00:17to police in Austria.

00:20The fifth edition of the World Nomad Games is about to kick off in Astana, with around

00:2590 countries competing in disciplines like horseback archery and falconry.

00:32More job cuts are expected in Germany as the economy struggles to recover.

00:45Protesters have marched in Tel Aviv carrying coffins draped with the Israeli flag, symbolizing

00:50the hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza.

00:54Around 70 Israelis are thought to be held captive following the Hamas incursion into

00:58Israel last October.

01:00Protesters are angry at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not doing enough to secure their

01:05return.

01:06On Wednesday, Netanyahu said Israel must keep open-ended control of Gaza's border with Egypt,

01:11which protesters fear could derail ceasefire talks.

01:19Michel Barnier has promised to respond to the anger of the people in his first speech

01:24as Prime Minister of France.

01:26Speaking at the handover ceremony with his predecessor Gabriel Attal in Paris, Barnier

01:31said his new role would concentrate on fixing a raft of problems causing resentment among

01:36French voters.

01:49President Emmanuel Macron named Barnier as France's new prime minister on Thursday, hoping

02:07the veteran conservative can work with the country's bitterly divided legislature.

02:12Barnier's appointment ends more than 50 days of a caretaker government in France, and he

02:17faces the tough task of having to work with an acrimonious and deeply divided hung parliament

02:23that emerged from a snap election Macron called in June.

02:48He's a loyal veteran of the recently renamed right-wing Republican Right Party and has

02:55had a long political career in France and the EU. He served twice as a European commissioner

03:01and between 2016 and 2021 was the chief EU negotiator for Brexit.

03:07Barnier will now have to survive a confidence vote in the National Assembly, France's lower

03:12house of parliament.

03:19The man killed in a shootout with officers near the Israeli consulate in Munich was known

03:24to police in Austria.

03:26Searching his home in Salzburg, police say the man, identified as 18-year-old Emra I,

03:32had come to the attention of police in February last year and had been investigated for terrorist

03:37links.

03:39In advance of the shootout in 2023, the responsible security agency, the Salzburg district police

03:45department, confirmed the police-induced weapon ban and this would be valid until 2028.

03:52Emra I, identified by police as an Austrian national with Bosnian roots, was spotted by

03:57police near the Israeli consulate carrying a long firearm. He engaged in a shootout with

04:03five local police officers who opened fire with their service weapons. Authorities believe

04:08he was planning an attack on the Israeli consulate but the motive is still being investigated.

04:14We can't say anything about the motive at the moment. This will also be the subject of

04:20investigations. We are sensitive on a day like today and were here with object protection

04:25forces on site.

04:27Israel's foreign ministry said the consulate in Munich was closed when the shooting occurred.

04:34The incident comes on the 52nd anniversary of the attack by Palestinian militants on

04:39the Israeli delegation at the 1972 Munich Olympics. That ended with the deaths of 11

04:45Israeli team members, a West German police officer and five of the assailants.

04:58As the Paralympics wrap up in Paris, another global sporting event begins in Astana, the

05:05World Nomad Games. Athletes use ancient warfare skills of historically nomadic peoples in

05:12sports like horse wrestling, horseback archery, martial arts and falconry, but also compete

05:20in cultural and scientific games. The aim is to develop and preserve the ethno-cultural

05:28movement which has in host country Kazakhstan one of its most important cradles.

05:36The World Nomad Games is a unique opportunity to show the world the rich cultural and historical

05:43heritage of our country, to show the spirit of the people, to show the deep soul of the Kazakh people.

05:54Over 2,000 athletes and around 90 countries will be there. The list of participating nations

06:01has grown way beyond those with a nomadic heritage.

06:05What's interesting is that we see countries coming, the geography of participating countries

06:10from Australia to Canada, from South Africa to Great Britain, those states that have little

06:17nomadic history in the past, so meaning that these games are actually going around the

06:24world and we see this great interest.

06:27The World Nomad Games take place from Sunday the 8th of September to the 13th of September.

06:38After the news that Europe's largest car producer VW may close two plants, experts are sounding

06:44the alarm that a downsizing of manufacturing isn't just limited to the car industry.

06:49The German Institute for Economic Research, DIW, says companies need to evolve.

06:55Germany is very export dependent, Germany is very industry dependent and like Volkswagen

07:01many other companies have missed out on the transformation and for Volkswagen that means

07:06specifically they have not managed to make the transition to electric cars.

07:12They're falling behind. They have had very high profits in the past, very successful,

07:17now they're suffering from hangover if you wish and this is not just the automotive sector,

07:24it's machinery, it's the pharmaceutical, the chemical sector, this is quite a problem many have.

07:30The largest chemical producer in the world, who has its headquarters in Germany, BASF,

07:35is also looking at relocating some of its workforce to Asia and laying off workers in

07:40Germany amid exploding energy prices due to the full scale invasion in Ukraine and burdensome

07:46bureaucracy in Germany.

07:48Germany's biggest problem is not short term, it's structural, it's long term.

07:53So we expect in our forecast a stagnation, maybe for another year and then a gradual recovery.

07:59So it will take some time and that's frustrating for companies, for the government to hear,

08:05but that's part of the truth. It will require some resilience and continued investment

08:12for the next five years and then hopefully over that period Germany or the German economy

08:17will manage the transition.

08:19Europe's strongest economy is still grappling with leaving its recession behind.

08:25As EU car companies struggle with the phasing out of combustion engines and a transition

08:31to electric vehicles before 2035, experts are predicting that thousands more jobs may be cut

08:39across different sectors over the next couple of years.

08:43With the German economy largely dependent on the car industry, these mass layoffs may lead

08:50to an increase in disillusionment and play into the hands of the far right.

08:55This could have a major impact on next year's federal elections.

09:00Liv Stroud, in Berlin for Euronews.

09:09There's been a proliferation of sinkholes in the southern Konya region known as the

09:13breadbasket of Turkey.

09:15They pose a threat to agricultural activities and are now getting closer to population areas.

09:20The latest count shows their number has now exceeded 2,600.

09:25Most happen as a result of drought and uncontrolled use of underground water.

09:30The director of the Sinkhole Application Research Centre said that the phenomenon will always

09:35exist but human activities are causing their number to rise.

10:35Glory and honor to the heroes!

10:38We care about the safety of our country, especially our families.

10:43We care about the values that Poland has.

10:48We also go along the border to stop this wave of illegal immigration.

10:57I would like to stay in Poland because of what they have done to me.

11:04If I go back there, it will be death.

11:11I'm not afraid of anything.

11:16I'm not afraid of anything.

11:21I'm not afraid of anything.

11:28I'm not afraid of anything.

11:33I'm not afraid of anything.
