00:00
Airstrikes killed at least 93 people including 20 children in Gaza.
00:04
Remaining health system will be further crippled due to a bill passed by the Israeli parliament.
00:11
Russia has begun major nuclear weapons exercises in what it says is preparation for a nuclear
00:17
strike by the enemy.
00:22
Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has made her closing pitch to voters in Washington
00:27
DC.
00:31
Poland has reopened its discussion on Sunday trading, following increased demand from consumers.
00:43
At least 93 people have been killed in a massive Israeli attack on northern Gaza early Tuesday
00:48
morning.
00:49
The strike hit a five-storey residential building in Beit Lahiya that housed around 200 people,
00:54
Gaza's media office said.
00:56
According to health ministry, 20 children were among the dead and dozens remain missing
01:00
under the rubble.
01:05
Israel has been waging weeks-long large-scale ground operation in northern Gaza, mainly
01:10
around the Jabalia refugee camp.
01:11
Over the weekend, IDF forces raided the Kamal Adwan hospital, detaining dozens of medics.
01:18
Its director says the hospital is overwhelmed by the wave of wounded people from Tuesday's
01:22
strike, stating that the health care system has completely collapsed.
01:27
On Monday, Israeli lawmakers voted to ban UN refugee agency responsible for providing
01:32
aid to Palestinians from operating within Israeli territory.
01:36
The move risks crippling the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza to new laws.
01:47
North Korea's foreign minister arrived in Russia on Tuesday for talks, as the Russia-Ukraine
01:52
war appeared to take a dangerous new turn.
01:56
Choi Sung-hui is expected in Moscow for talks with the Kremlin.
02:00
The visit comes a day after NATO-confirmed North Korean troops were deployed to support
02:06
Russian forces in the border town of Kursk.
02:10
Pyongyang and Moscow have not directly admitted that North Korean troops are present in Russia,
02:15
but claim that their military cooperation conforms with international law.
02:20
Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said the North Korean moves were sending
02:26
the war into a new phase.
02:28
Zelenskyy claims North Korean troops are poised to deploy on the battlefield as early as this
02:34
weekend.
02:36
South Korea has said it may start supplying weapons to Ukraine if North Korean troops
02:40
joined Russia's war.
02:43
The Ukraine conflict broke out when Russia invaded its neighbour in February 2022.
02:53
Russia has begun major nuclear weapons exercises, which its defence ministry describes as preparation
02:59
for a potential nuclear strike by the enemy.
03:04
The drills included the test fires of intercontinental ballistic missiles from the Kamchatka peninsula
03:10
and two nuclear submarines, as well as practice launches of long-range cruise missiles from
03:15
nuclear-capable strategic bombers.
03:19
The defence ministry said that all the missiles reached their designated targets.
03:26
It comes after weeks of Russian signals that Moscow will respond if the West allows Ukraine
03:31
to use Western-supplied longer-range weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
03:37
On his visit to Beijing, the President of Finland called on China to assist in de-escalating
03:42
Russian nuclear activity.
03:45
The final and fifth point I made is that it is very difficult to trust President Putin,
03:53
especially when it comes to nuclear weapons.
03:57
And that's why it's extremely important that a major power such as China keeps on having
04:06
dialogue with Russia and make sure that we can de-escalate as much as possible.
04:12
It follows US reports that North Korea has sent 10,000 troops to Russia, where they are
04:18
believed to be headed for the Kursk border region.
04:24
Presidential candidate Kamala Harris has urged voters to turn the page and start writing
04:29
the next chapter in her closing campaign speech in Washington, D.C.
04:35
Delivering her message from the same site where Donald Trump spoke shortly before the
04:40
2021 Capitol riot, Harris vowed to put the country above party and above self.
04:47
I pledge to seek common ground and common sense solutions to make your life better.
04:56
I am not looking to score political points.
04:59
I am looking to make progress.
05:02
I pledge to listen to experts, to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make and
05:11
to people who disagree with me.
05:14
Unlike Donald Trump, I don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy.
05:21
He wants to put them in jail.
05:24
I'll give them a seat at the table.
05:27
Harris went on to list key policy goals, including expanding Medicare coverage of home healthcare,
05:34
boosting the supply of housing in the country and working to restore nationwide access to
05:39
abortion.
05:40
Meanwhile, a statement released by the Trump campaign accused the Vice President of resorting
05:46
to lying and name-calling in her speech.
05:49
It comes after Trump called his closing rally at Madison Square Garden a love-fest, despite
05:55
featuring a number of crude remarks by various speakers.
06:08
The EU and US agree on one thing, to ensure that China does not dominate the market for
06:14
new technologies and green energy.
06:17
However, their approaches differ.
06:20
Washington favours decoupling, while Brussels prefers de-risking.
06:27
Could the US presidential election change the game?
06:32
So if Trump comes to power, we should expect more tariffs and sanctions and also more pushing
06:42
the allies towards decoupling.
06:46
But I don't think that their scale would be significantly more than a Harris administration.
06:55
I think there is a bipartisan consensus on how much of a big threat China is for the US.
07:09
Neck and neck, Democrats and Republicans will continue the technological battle of the world's
07:13
two leading economies for control over production chains and markets, only their methods differ.
07:22
With Harris, again, we will see a continuation of what happened with Biden, which means more
07:27
coordination, more exchange of information, more alignment of policy, which is both positive
07:33
and negative.
07:34
Positive in the sense of you have a very close ally that you can work with.
07:38
Negative in the sense that we've seen a few episodes in which the US and Europe really
07:44
struggled to align.
07:49
The EU sees China as a trading partner and systemic rival.
07:53
On the contrary, Washington sees Beijing as a competitor to its declining hegemony.
07:58
So while the US has sought to decouple from China, the European Union does not want to
08:02
cut off its links with the Asian giant because their supply chains are too intertwined.
08:09
The 27 have, however, hardened their tone.
08:13
They plan to introduce a surtax on electric vehicles from China and have launched an investigation
08:18
into Chinese subsidies for solar panel manufacturers.
08:24
In case of an escalation of the US-China relations, the tension between these two countries, the
08:31
US will definitely come down hard on Europe for decoupling, leaving the moderates, relatively
08:42
more moderate, the risk and strategy in favour of a very sharp decoupling from China, which
08:49
I think Europe cannot afford.
08:53
Faced with an unpredictable policy of Donald Trump towards Beijing, the EU and China are
08:59
kept in the dark.
09:05
A Belgian court sentenced over 100 people for drug-related crimes in the country's biggest
09:11
drug trial.
09:12
The defendants were part of a major criminal network which operated as far as South America
09:17
and Morocco.
09:20
The criminals were exposed after police hacked into phone service Sky ECC and intercepted
09:26
messages for two years.
09:30
The case shines light on Belgium's drug problem, with Antwerp's port being a main European
09:35
gateway for the smuggling of cocaine.
09:37
It's a very serious crime.
09:39
They clearly wanted to set an example.
09:41
I think that's very clear.
09:42
The question is, of course, whether that will bring disaster to the dike.
09:45
I don't think so.
09:46
We can say that the cocaine problem in Antwerp or in Brussels, or in Flanders, has been solved.
09:52
A total of 129 defendants were accused of being part of several drug gangs that were
09:57
behind the large-scale import of cannabis and cocaine into Europe.
10:03
Key gang members received sentences ranging from 7 to 17 years in prison, whereas other
10:08
defendants received sentences ranging from 14 months to 15 years.
10:15
The sentences depended on the severity of the crime.
10:18
Besides drug trafficking, defendants were also punished for their involvement in violence,
10:23
extortion and kidnapping.
10:29
Poland has reopened its discussion on Sunday trading, following consumer calls for an additional
10:35
day to run errands.
10:38
Since 2018, a number of trade-related activities have been banned on Sundays, but experts say
10:44
changing consumer habits indicate a need to reconsider these regulations.
10:51
Earlier this year, a bill easing the restrictions and allowing two shopping Sundays per month
10:56
was submitted to Poland's parliament, but the proposals are divisive, with some retail
11:00
workers fighting to keep their day off.
11:15
According to the Association of Polish Trade and Services Employers, the proposal to restore
11:22
Sunday trading should include some restrictions, such as shorter opening hours for establishments.
11:29
There are also suggestions that employees should be paid double their wage for working
11:33
on a Sunday, or provided with an extra day off.
