00:42Madrid hosted leaders from the Middle East and Europe for high-level talks aimed to ending

00:47the 11-month Israel-Hamas war.

00:50The way is clear.

00:51The application of the two-state solution is the only way to guarantee a just and lasting

00:58peace in the region through the coexistence in peace and security of the State of Palestine

01:05and the State of Israel.

01:08Firm action and timeline is needed to secure the two-state solution, Al-Barez said on behalf

01:14of the Arab Islamic Contact Group for Gaza.

01:19Spain as well as Norway and Ireland formally recognised Palestinian statehood on the 28th of May.

01:33Ukrainian forces launched additional surprise attacks into Russia's Kursk region, tens of

01:38kilometres away from its salient and from Russia's counter-offensive.

01:41Let's unpack this.

01:43Russian forces continue their counter-attack throughout Ukrainian salient.

01:47Moscow says they have recaptured 10 settlements, although there is no visual confirmation of

01:51it at this stage.

01:53And while Ukrainian forces are trying to defend their gains there, they have also launched

01:57additional attacks outside of the salient, making gains in Luzhkovsky district here.

02:02Geolocated footage indicates that Ukrainian infantry have advanced across the border and

02:07into southwestern Tatkino, about 40 kilometres southwest of the current Ukrainian salient

02:12into Kursk region.

02:13Ukrainian armoured vehicles and infantry bypassed Russian's Dragon Teeth anti-tank obstacles

02:18on the border southwest of Novyi Put indicating that Russian forces were not prepared to leverage

02:24the obstacles to repel cross-border Ukrainian assaults.

02:27Earlier on Thursday, Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Russian counter-attack in Kursk was anticipated

02:32by Kyiv and moreover is going according to the Ukrainian plan.

02:38Climate policy, the ageing population and the green transition.

02:43These were the main topics of the informal meeting of EU finance ministers in Budapest.

02:48At the meeting it was said that Hungary needs to make its climate policy more coherent and

02:53transparent.

02:54The Hungarian finance minister stressed that the country wants to do this in a way that

02:58also contributes to competitiveness.

03:01I think that was the new element in today's conversation, that we could talk about how

03:07we can mobilise the existing revenues and how we can increase not only the green, but

03:14also other types of investments, because Europe also needs this in the interest of economic

03:20growth.

03:21The current meeting was an informal meeting, so decisions were not made here, but the

03:26Hungarian finance minister did a great job.

03:39Authorities in Bulgaria say they have seized a record 125 kilograms of gold at a checkpoint

03:46on the border with Turkey.

03:48The seizure is worth a total value of 5 million euros.

03:54According to Bulgaria's customs agency, the smuggled gold was hidden in a car leaving

03:59Bulgaria on its way to Turkey.

04:02The driver, a Bulgarian national, was arrested and charged.

04:07This is the largest amount of smuggled gold seized on the Bulgarian border.

04:16UN humanitarians are rushing to assist newly displaced people in northeast Nigeria after

04:22torrential rains caused a dam to collapse and flood the area.

04:26The World Food Programme's office in Maiduguri said over 200,000 people have been displaced.

04:32The WFP has opened soup kitchens to provide hot meals, but says more assistance is needed.

04:38The UN's food agency says that it needs $147.9 million to support food insecure people over

04:45the coming six months.
