00:00
Israel attacked Iran overnight in retaliation for a ballistic missile assault earlier this
00:05
month, with the Middle East on the precipice of a regional war.
00:10
Three journalists were reportedly killed after an Israeli airstrike hit buildings where members
00:15
of the press covering the war were staying.
00:20
Georgia is voting in parliamentary elections that could determine whether the country's
00:24
EU ambitions get back on track or if it falls into Russia's orbit.
00:30
A Russian strike on a residential building in Kiev killed at least one person and injured
00:35
five others, according to Ukrainian officials.
00:42
Israel launched airstrikes on what it described as military targets in Iran in retaliation
00:47
for a ballistic missile assault earlier this month.
00:51
There was no immediate information available on damage to the country, but Iranian state
00:56
media reported the sound of explosions around Iran's capital, Tehran, without immediately
01:02
elaborating.
01:04
Iranian state television later identified some of the blasts as coming from air defence
01:08
systems without offering more details.
01:11
Two Israeli officials said the strikes on Iran were not targeting nuclear or oil facilities.
01:17
The attack, threatened for weeks by Israel, comes as the Middle East sits on the precipice
01:22
of a regional war, more than a year after an initial attack by Hamas killed around 1,200
01:28
Israelis.
01:29
Since then, Israel has launched a devastating ground offensive in the Gaza Strip and an
01:33
invasion of the neighbouring Lebanon, targeting militants long armed and aided by Tehran.
01:42
An Israeli airstrike hit guesthouses where journalists were staying in south-east Lebanon,
01:48
reportedly killing three media staffers from two different news agencies.
01:53
The airstrike turned buildings used by media outlets covering the war into rubble, with
01:58
cars marked PRESS being overturned and covered in dust and debris.
02:03
The Israeli army did not issue a warning prior to the strike, which it said targeted Hezbollah
02:08
militant infrastructure.
02:10
The military later said the strike was being reviewed.
02:14
Meanwhile, two people in Israel died of their wounds after a rocket attack from Hezbollah
02:20
militants, the country's rescue services said.
02:23
A further seven people were injured after rocket shrapnel hit the Israeli town.
02:29
Militants in Lebanon fired 45 projectiles into Israel on Friday.
02:34
Some were intercepted by Israel's air defences, whilst others reportedly fell into open areas.
02:41
Georgia is voting in a divisive election which could determine its future in Europe, as the
02:49
ruling Georgian Dream government faces off with a coalition of pro-EU parties.
02:56
The parliamentary elections this weekend are being treated as a make-or-break vote by many
03:01
Georgian citizens when it comes to the nation's prospects of joining the European Union.
03:08
Ultimately, this vote has the potential to decide whether Georgia gets back on track
03:12
to EU membership, or if it embraces authoritarianism and falls into Russia's orbit.
03:21
Many fear the ruling Georgian Dream is dragging the country away from joining the EU.
03:27
Polls suggest that most Georgians favour joining the EU, but Brussels suspended the country's
03:33
membership process after the Georgian Dream party passed a law cracking down on freedom
03:38
of speech in June.
03:44
At least one person was reportedly killed and five injured after a Russian drone hit
03:49
a 25-storey residential building in Kiev.
03:53
Emergency responders were dispatched to the site of the attack to fight a fire which broke
03:58
out on the upper floor of the building due to the strike.
04:03
The fire was extinguished, but a search and rescue operation continued, according to Kiev's
04:08
mayor Vitaly Klitschko.
04:11
One of the five injured was sent to hospital, according to Klitschko, and a first aid tent
04:15
was set up at the site.
04:19
Ukraine's emergency services say the attack damaged several apartments in the building
04:23
with around 100 people being evacuated after the drone struck.
04:30
Prior to the attack, local media report an air alert had been sounded in Kiev and other
04:34
Ukrainian regions due to a mass Russian drone attack, a near-daily occurrence in Ukraine
04:39
for over a month.
