00:00President Volodymyr Zelensky stresses assistance from Ukraine's allies is urgently needed

00:10to combat Russian forces.

00:14It comes as Russia closes in on Pokrovsk, claiming to have captured another village

00:19nearby.

00:21All agreements must be realized as soon as possible.

00:26Everything that is needed in September must be delivered to our troops in September.

00:32Pokrovsk is an important logistical hub for Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk region.

00:39Local authorities are urging people to evacuate, but still more than a third remain in the city.

00:51The situation is getting worse and worse.

00:54There is no electricity, no water.

00:58Russia claims they are still capturing territory on the road towards Pokrovsk.

01:08Germany is toughening its border controls by introducing temporary checks at all of

01:14its borders.

01:16German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser says it is an attempt to reduce irregular migration.

01:37Temporary border controls will be set up at the land borders with France, Luxembourg,

01:42the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark for a period of six months.

01:48The same measures are already in place on the borders with Poland, the Czech Republic,

01:53Austria and Switzerland.

01:57Europe's Schengen area allows for free travel between member countries.

02:02However, member states are allowed to introduce border checks if they feel there is a threat

02:07to internal security.

02:11Faeser adds that the government has already notified the European Union of the intended controls.

02:22Former Italian Prime Minister and President of the European Central Bank Mario Draghi

02:26presented his report on the future of European competitiveness on Monday.

02:30The report has 170 proposals to increase productivity and has security and reduced dependencies,

02:37while keeping the European social model intact.

02:40Draghi's initiative comes at a crucial moment for the future of Europe.

02:45The EU is losing ground as each passing year it becomes less able to compete with China

02:50and the United States in global trade arena.

03:08Draghi calls for a minimum of 750 to 800 billion euro additional investment per year.

03:16This means increasing the EU's investment share to around 27% of EU gross domestic product.

03:21To achieve this goal, the European Union would have to issue common debt instruments one more time

03:26as it was done for the recovery of post-pandemic known as the planned next generation EU,

03:30which was also a 800 billion euro model.

03:38Yes, the answer is yes.

03:39While the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen seems open to the idea,

03:43some EU governments are likely to oppose it, making it very difficult to achieve.

03:47Overall, the suggested amount is twice the size of what Europe spent after the Second World War to rebuild.

03:53I think it's not very likely at the moment.

03:55We do not have a German coalition government that is in the position to make any progress

04:02or any moves in that direction.

04:04They are politically very divided and the opposition is also against it.

04:08And we do not have a clear French political landscape that would help to build trust.

04:16So at the end of the day, joint borrowing really only works

04:20when you have more trust among member states, which we don't.

04:24Draghi's report, which helps defining tasks for the next commissioners,

04:28also encourages boosting the European defence industry,

04:31research in innovative technologies and decarbonisation.

04:35According to Draghi, without action, Europe will have to either compromise its welfare

04:40or its environment or its freedom.

04:47Pope Francis has called for the protection of young people during his visit to Timor-Leste.

04:52By doing so, he indirectly acknowledged the abuse scandal involving independence hero Bishop Carlos Jimenez Bello.

05:01Let's not forget so many children and teenagers who have been hurt in their dignity.

05:11This phenomenon is flourishing all over the world.

05:15We are all called to act as a responsibility to prevent all kinds of abuse

05:23and guarantee a serene growth for our young people.

05:29Timor-Leste is the most Catholic country outside of the Vatican.

05:32Its residents were eager to welcome the first Pope to visit them as an independent nation.

05:37This is the Pope's third stop on his 12-day Southeast Asia and Oceania tour,

05:43having previously visited Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

05:47After Timor-Leste, the Pope will visit Singapore before returning to Rome on the 13th of September.

05:59The EU's diplomatic service has strongly condemned Russia's municipal elections held in occupied Crimean territory,

06:07stating the vote violates international law, the UN Charter and Ukraine's sovereignty.

06:14The EU does not recognise these so-called elections or their results in Crimea,

06:20the European Union External Action Service said in a statement on Monday.

06:26They are null and void and cannot produce any legal effects whatsoever.

06:32Eighty-three elections spanning regional to municipal were held throughout Russia from September 6th to 9th.

06:40Areas included the Ukrainian-controlled region of Kursk in Russia,

06:45which saw the country's third-highest percentage of voter turnout.

06:50The results, strongly expected to tilt towards Moscow-approved candidates, are slated to roll in by the end of September.

07:04The issue of how to grant citizenship to immigrants' children born in Italy

07:08has long been at the centre of the political debate.

07:11Italy's Deputy Prime Minister and leader of Forza Italia Antonio Tajani

07:14has recently demanded a review of the current law, which makes the process hard to achieve.

07:19He has backed the introduction of the so-called Jus Scolae and the possibility to grant citizenship

07:25to those who complete ten years of compulsory education in Italy.

07:29While remaining a close ally of Meloni, Forza Italia's move has not been welcomed by the party's coalition partners.

07:35Amin was born in Somalia and arrived in Italy when he was four years old.

07:39After living and studying in the country for over 30 years, he's not considered an Italian citizen.

07:45Today, he's one of the promoters of the reform proposal.

07:49I've always worked regularly, paying taxes.

07:52I've always been a foreigner in my own country.

07:56As I often say, I've never been to Africa.

08:02In the end, it's as if they cut your leg off.

08:07You're limited in everything.

08:10Being Italian is something you feel inside and you're proud of.

08:19I did karate for years.

08:23It was a promise of karate, but I couldn't participate at the national level like my teammates.

08:29For years, Save the Children has carried out groundwork to help integrate children born in Italy to foreign parents.

08:36In Italy, we have an old and outdated law, which is more than 30 years old.

08:41It was designed for a country of emigrants.

08:44This is a law that protects the children and grandchildren of many Italians who went abroad to work.

08:52The country has changed a lot over the years.

08:56It has changed in facts, in schools, in communities.

09:00The law needs to be updated.

09:04It's written in the program of the centre-right, it's written in the government's agenda.

09:09Two out of three parties say and remind Forza Italia that this has not been a shared issue.

09:16We can talk about it, we've been talking about it for a month, we've been talking about it since this summer.

09:21But I doubt it will be an issue included in the parliamentary agenda.

09:27I don't think the opposition forces, certainly.

09:30I don't think the parties that make up the majority of this government.

09:34Unless someone doesn't want to be put out of the electoral program.

09:38That's why the Italians voted for us.

09:40Antonio Tajani and his party are determined to take the proposal to Parliament.

09:44Giorgio Arlandi for Euronews in Rome.

09:47Israeli sports fans braved the rain to watch a Nations League football match between Israel and Italy in Budapest on Monday.

10:01While many attendees spoke with excitement about the game, others called for an end to the brutal Israel-Hamas war.

10:11We want peace. We are the Jewish, we don't like war, fight and shoot.

10:20We want to live in our country together.

10:26I know one of the players of the national team and his friend died in the war.

10:33It affects everyone because Israel is a small country.

10:38We are all together and we all suffer together.

10:41But we hope that we have something to be happy about.

10:48This is soccer, this is football.

10:51This match we must watch. El El Israel.

10:57My sister's son was supposed to be in Gaza on the 7th of October.

11:04In the same place that the terrorists came and killed all the soldiers in the base.

11:10He was replaced two days before the war.

11:13He replaced the days with his friend because it was a holiday.

11:18So a lot of his friends died, killed in this base, in the army.

11:27Some European cities, like Brussels, have refused to host Nations League matches with Israel due to security concerns.

11:35Israel's male and female national football teams have played in Hungary since the October 7th attack.
