00:00Spain's flood dectal rises to at least 205 as the country braces for more rain.

00:11The officers of the UN aid agency for Palestinians are damaged in an Israeli raid on a refugee

00:17camp in the West Bank.

00:20Donald Trump and Kamala Harris campaign in the western part of the US, criss-crossing

00:25the key swing states of Arizona and Nevada ahead of Tuesday's election.

00:34Flood-hit regions in Spain are bracing for more rains on Friday as authorities said hundreds

00:39of soldiers have been deployed to assist in rescue efforts.

00:44The latest comes after devastating flash floods killed at least 205 people in the nation's

00:50worst natural disaster in decades.

00:53Residents in the hardest-hit eastern province of Valencia are counting their losses.

01:20Meanwhile, flood survivors on Thursday queued for food and water in the battered town of

01:34Paiporta.

01:36The city on the southern outskirts of Valencia was devastated by a sudden wave of mud almost

01:41two metres high.

01:44Residents said the water came without warning on Tuesday.

01:48Authorities say they've now issued red warnings for areas in southwest Spain near the border

01:53with Portugal.

01:54Heavy rainstorms in the early hours of Friday flooded parts of the city and nearby areas.

02:04Dramatic flooding in Spain is a reminder that Europe is not immune to extreme weather events.

02:11According to a report by Imperial College London, three of the deadliest such events

02:16in the last 20 years have hit the continent.

02:20The document links climate change with the intensification of these events and the potential

02:25risk of more casualties.

02:39While we can't say that extreme weather events are caused purely by climate change, we know

02:44that the severity of them is massively enhanced by climate change.

02:49The heatwaves of 2022 and 2023 claimed almost 90,000 victims in Europe, according to the

02:56report.

02:57However, researchers are also cautious about the figures, pointing out that it is more

03:02difficult to measure the mortality caused by a heatwave than in the case of floods.

03:08But that solutions do exist to prevent such disasters.

03:13We should be able to prepare for these events.

03:16So if you've got heatwaves, we should be able to have early heat warnings to tell people

03:21not to go out to try and stay in cool places to drink more water.

03:25When there's flooding coming, we know that we can issue flood warnings.

03:29And if people follow those flood warnings and they may have to evacuate the areas that

03:33are likely to be affected, it can take them out of harm's way and it can massively reduce

03:39the mortality from these events.

03:42This report was published a few days before the opening of COP29, the International Climate

03:48Conference.

03:49The UN has also pointed out that on this current course, the increase in temperature is likely

03:55to exceed three degrees before the end of the century.

04:03The offices of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees have been heavily damaged during

04:08an Israeli raid in a West Bank refugee camp.

04:11The official Palestinian news agency alleged Israeli military bulldozers had partially

04:17demolished the UNWRA building.

04:19However, the Israeli military denied it damaged the building in the Nur Shams refugee camp.

04:24It said militants had planted explosives nearby and set them off to attack Israeli troops

04:30and that the blast had likely damaged the building.

04:33The incident comes after Israel's parliament passed laws this week effectively banning

04:38UNWRA's operations in Israel and the Palestinian territories.

04:42Israel accuses the agency of turning a blind eye to militants among its staff, a claim

04:47UNWRA denies.

04:49The law comes into effect in three months.

04:52So we say this very, very clearly, UNWRA is part of the past.

04:57It's part of the problem.

05:00UNWRA members took part in this massacre.

05:02Now it's time for the international community, first and foremost the United Nations themselves,

05:08to rethink and to do what's right in order to really be of help to Palestinians, instead

05:15of just sticking to their former ideas, which were an UNWRA which was infiltrated, taken

05:21over and eventually massively misused by the terrorists of Hamas.

05:28Multiple UN agencies have rallied around UNWRA, calling it the backbone of the World

05:33Body's aid activities in Gaza and other Palestinian areas.

05:38UNWRA provides education, health care and emergency aid to millions of Palestinian refugees

05:43from the 1948 war surrounding Israel's creation.

05:48Refugee families make up the majority of Gaza's population.

05:56The Biden administration has said around 8,000 soldiers from North Korea are now in

06:01Kursk preparing to help Russia fight against Ukrainian troops.

06:06Moscow and Pyongyang have deepened military cooperation in recent months.

06:10Kiev has long accused North Korea of supplying Russia with weapons and ammunition.

06:15And earlier this year, both countries signed a mutual defense pact.

06:20Russia's actions with respect to the DPRK are not only dangerous, but they are antithetical

06:25to its responsibility as a permanent member of this UN Security Council.

06:32Russia's military cooperation with the DPRK violates multiple UN Security Council resolutions,

06:37which prohibit both procuring DPRK arms and providing military training.

06:43Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said that while North Korean troops have been deployed

06:47to Kursk, they have not yet taken part in any hostilities.

06:53North Korea's move to deepen its relationship with Russia has raised concerns around the

06:57world about how that may expand the war in Ukraine.

07:01There are also questions about what new military technologies North Korea might get from Russia

07:06in exchange for the deployment.

07:14At least five people have been killed and four others injured in a gas explosion at

07:18a residential building in southern Russia.

07:21The blast happened in the city of Cherkessk, in a region which borders Georgia about 1,300

07:27kilometers south of the capital Moscow.

07:29Emergency officials said the explosion partially destroyed two upper stories of a five-story

07:35residential building.

07:37Emergency responders say their fear what's left of the building could crumble, potentially

07:59harming more people.

08:01Russian law enforcement has launched a criminal probe suspecting safety violations.

08:07Gas explosions in residential buildings are fairly common in Russia.

08:11In August, a gas explosion destroyed a section of a five-story residential building in the

08:16Ural Mountains, killing 11 people.

08:19The state news agency TASS said at the time that between the beginning of 2022 and August

08:252024, at least seven such explosions occurred, killing more than 50 people in total.

08:36Five people, including teenagers, were seriously injured in a shootout after drug-related violence

08:41which involved 50 to 60 people, broke out in Place Coimbra in the western French city

08:46of Poitiers.

08:47The shooting involved a certain number of people, but much less than what some media

08:57can say.

08:58Place Coimbra was a public place, so there were people on the terrace, there were people

09:01celebrating Halloween with the neighborhood house right next door.

09:03We were in a neighborhood that was nice.

09:05At first it was good.

09:06I saw the mall being built.

09:09Everything was fine.

09:10And then we were fine.

09:11The children, everyone was fine.

09:12And now it's deteriorating more and more.

09:13It's awful.

09:14There has been a rising concern in drug-related violence in France, particularly in cities

09:22outside of main hubs like Marseille and Paris.

09:25The city's mayor said the new episode of violence is unacceptable for the neighborhood and has

09:29promised police reinforcement.

09:35North Korean television broadcasted footage of the country's latest giant missile test.

09:41Their state news agency claimed the missile flew thousands of kilometers into the sky

09:45and into space before falling into the sea east of the country.

09:50In recent years, North Korea has reported steady advancement in its efforts to obtain

09:54nuclear-tipped missiles.

09:57Many experts believe North Korea likely has missiles that can deliver nuclear strikes

10:01on South Korea, but has yet to possess nukes that could travel to places like mainland

10:06U.S.

10:12Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris campaigned in the western part of the U.S., crisscrossing

10:17the key swing states of Arizona and Nevada.

10:20Trump appeared with far-right media personality Tucker Carlson in Arizona and claimed to be

10:26ahead in the polls race.

10:28The Republican candidate said it was heading for great victory.

10:32I think it will go down as one of the greatest victories of all time.

10:36So we're going to have some, we're going to have an exciting time.

10:40Trump's appearance in Glendale followed earlier stops in New Mexico and Nevada, where thousands

10:45of supporters showed up.

10:48Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris took her campaign to a Las Vegas

10:54rally.

10:57And we have work to do.

10:59So we like hard work.

11:03Hard work is good work.

11:06Hard work is joyful work.

11:09And make no mistake, we will win.

11:12Earlier, Harris introduced Jennifer Lopez, who rallied voters in support of the U.S.

11:17vice president.

11:18I am an actor and an entertainer, and I like Hollywood endings.

11:23I like when the good guy, or in this case, the good girl wins.

11:27The presidential election will be held on Tuesday, November 5 in the U.S.

11:31Already more than 65 million people have cast their ballots in the race as of October 31.
