00:00The Dutch King and Queen attend an event with World War II veterans to mark the 80th anniversary

00:06of the country's liberation from German occupation.

00:11Estonian authorities record nearly 600 violations since full customs checks were introduced

00:17at the Russian border.

00:25The Dutch King and Queen have attended an event with World War II veterans to mark the

00:2980th anniversary of the country's liberation from German occupation.

00:34American veteran Kenneth Thayer returned to the tiny Dutch village he and his compatriots

00:38liberated from the Nazis.

00:41King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima were driven in a vintage military truck into the

00:45village of Mesh, a tiny settlement of about 350 people.

00:50American troops from the 30th Infantry Division, known as Old Hickory, were among the Allied

00:54forces that liberated parts of Belgium and the southern Netherlands from German occupation

00:59in September 1944.

01:01Thayer was one of the guests of honor at the Mesh commemoration, which begins nearly a

01:16year of events marking the anniversary of the country's liberation.

01:21Residents of Mesh were among the first Dutch citizens to taste post-war freedom at about

01:2610 a.m. on September 12, 1944.

01:29That's when Thayer and other American infantry troops crossed the border from Belgium.

01:34A day later they reached Maastricht, the provincial capital of Limburg and the first Dutch city

01:39to be liberated.

01:41It would take several more months for the whole country to finally be freed.

01:51Russia has expelled six British diplomats after accusing them of espionage on Friday.

01:57The decision was made to remove their accreditation after Russia's Federal Security Service said

02:01it received documents indicating intelligence gathering and subversive activities.

02:07The move came as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Washington for talks with President

02:12Joe Biden that include Ukraine's request to use Western-supplied weapons against targets

02:16inside Russia.

02:18Starmer said on his way to the U.S. that Britain does not seek any conflict with Russia.

02:27Estonian authorities have recorded nearly 600 violations since full customs checks were

02:32introduced at the Narva border crossing with Russia in August.

02:37Narva is a busy border point, handling around 1,500 crossings from Estonia to Russia every day.

02:43Despite the high number of rule breakers, the Tax and Customs Board says the daily rate

02:48of violations has dropped slightly from around 22 to 18.

02:53We see daily that the number of violations is increasing, which is a sign of a lack of

02:58trust from the other side.

02:59At the moment, one of the main concerns in the Narva context is the amount of money that

03:03the breakers have the most.

03:05According to the customs authorities, travellers leaving Estonia generally transport goods

03:10that are in short supply in Russia, such as spare parts for cars and machinery.

03:15Estonia introduced full customs controls at the Narva crossing on August 8 and follows

03:20a decision in May to limit the hours pedestrians can cross.

03:24The Estonian police and border guard advise against all travel to Russia.

03:29Tensions between Russia and NATO member Estonia have been high since the 2022 invasion of

03:35Ukraine.

03:36Tallinn says that by the end of 2023, Russia had deliberately directed groups of foreigners

03:42lacking the legal right to enter the European Union to the Estonian border.

03:47That prompted authorities to warn that if it continued, the border may be closed at

03:51short notice to protect national security.

04:00Machinists at Boeing went on strike, marking another setback for the aircraft maker whose

04:05reputation and finances have been battered, now facing a shutdown in production.

04:12The workers are unhappy about stagnant wages and concessions made since 2008 on pensions

04:17and health care to prevent the company from moving jobs elsewhere.

04:22They overwhelmingly rejected a contract that would have raised pay by 25% over four years,

04:28with 96% voting in favour of a strike.

04:35The city of Brussels won't take the migrants that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban

04:39threatens to send there by bus.

04:43Mayor Philippe Clos made it clear during an interview with Euronews that his city won't

04:48be a hostage of Hungarian government.

05:10Orban's plan is an answer to a 200 million euro fine imposed in June by the European

05:17Court of Justice to his country for not respecting EU asylum law.

05:22Migrants will be offered a free one-way trip to Brussels based on their voluntary decision,

05:26said the Hungarian government.

05:30The European Commission said that Orban's strategy is simply unacceptable and is in

05:35contact with countries on the transit route to ensure that the buses are blocked if they

05:39would really start the journey.

05:42Also, Brussels' mayor strongly criticises Orban's move, even questioning Hungary's

05:48right to preside at the Council of the EU.

05:51It's not like that that we're building the Union.

05:55What worries me is that they're presiding over the Union.

05:57And I think they don't have the capacity to do so.

05:59It's time to think about whether Hungary has the capacity to preside over the European

06:03Union.

06:04According to EU law, migrants entering the Hungarian borders have the right to claim

06:10for asylum in Hungary as a first-arrival country.

06:18Almost a year since dozens of Serbian gunmen stormed a monastery in Kosovo, leading to

06:24a deadly shootout that killed at least seven, the alleged perpetrators have been brought

06:29to justice.

06:31The Kosovo Special Prosecutor's Office announced on Wednesday it filed indictments against

06:3545 people for their alleged involvement.

07:01Senior Kosovo officials reiterated their claims that Belgrade was behind the attack.

07:08The Serbian Prime Minister Alexander Vucic is expected to address claims that his government

07:34engineered the violence on Friday.

07:38All appears idyllic here in Malmö, but under the surface there's a less romantic truth.

07:44Police officer Glenn Sjögren works in Rosengård, a troubled suburb in Sweden's third biggest

07:49city Malmö.

07:50They are renting, actually, killers from Sweden to do the killings in Denmark.

07:57And it's always young kids.

08:00It's cheaper.

08:01And if they get caught, they don't get that long sentence.

08:06Malmö in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark have been hit hard over the last months with

08:11gang violence.

08:12Several people have been killed, and there's been even arson attacks and bomb attacks.

08:19Karoline Skull is the regional director in Malmö for YouthWork.

08:24Grooming on social media is a relatively big factor for why kids are coming into these

08:31environments.

08:34But a cross-border crime between Denmark and Sweden has now resulted in police from Denmark

08:39working in Sweden, and vice versa.

08:41We have to work very close to each other to shorten the ways of communication.

08:55This new approach where police operate on the other side of the border is not normal,

09:00but it's clearly needed.

09:02Because it is only 10 kilometers across the Øresund Bridge to the Danish capital of Copenhagen.

09:08And several attacks over the summer have been committed by Swedish gangs, or at least by

09:13young people who were hired by these Swedish gangs to do so.

09:17Carsten Norton, Denmark's most famous crime documentary writer, has covered the gang wars.

09:23And Norton is not optimistic about the future of the gang violence in Denmark and Sweden.

09:54I'm on the Greek island of Chios, where empty villages like this one serve as a reminder

10:03of a new kind of threat facing the country as a whole.

10:06After years of economic hardship, many young Greeks have decided to either move abroad

10:10or delay starting a family.

10:12With its population expected to plummet in the coming decades, the nation is now grappling

10:17with a severe demographic crisis.

10:19Find out more in a new episode of Witness.

10:24New York, USA

10:36There is a constant decline in the population, especially among young people,

10:43because the crisis has forced people to leave for the European countries and the USA.

10:53New York, USA

11:11For a very large period of time, even though I had my degree, I was unemployed.

11:16I couldn't find a job.

11:17How can you buy a house and how can you raise a family?

11:21You can't.
