00:00A joke calling Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage threatens to alienate Hispanic

00:05voters from Donald Trump's campaign.

00:12Citizens of Valencia continued a joint clean-up effort following devastating floods in eastern

00:17Spain.

00:21Thousands of Georgians again protested against election results as opposition leaders vowed

00:26to boycott parliament.

00:31Sweden has rejected 13 out of 14 planned offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, citing security

00:38concerns.

00:44US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were in Swing State, Pennsylvania

00:50after a bad joke at a Trump rally threatened to alienate Latin American voters.

00:55Speaking at a Trump rally in New York, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a floating

01:00island of garbage, sparking fury from voters and accusations of racism.

01:05When I was knocking at the doors the other day, I did run into an individual from Puerto

01:10Rico who mentioned this actually made him flip his vote.

01:15It's something that I feel is very important.

01:19You can't disrespect the people who you're asking them to vote for.

01:24The two candidates are competing to win over Puerto Rican communities in Pennsylvania and

01:28other Swing States.

01:31Puerto Rico has a big, big issue because we don't know how to recycle.

01:36We don't recycle.

01:37We're hiring now neighboring little islands to come and pick up our trash.

01:42Maybe he thought that that's what he was saying.

01:45So the only candidate today in the ballot that represents Latino values is Donald Trump

01:51and the Republican Party.

01:53We are family first.

01:55We're family oriented.

01:59Pennsylvania is the biggest Swing State in the U.S. and its 19 electoral votes could

02:04be the difference between victory or defeat for either candidate.

02:21While Americans are anxiously awaiting the outcome of this historic presidential race,

02:36Washington is bracing for the worst.

02:37The District of Columbia is preparing for another violent attack on supporters of Donald

02:38Trump should he lose to Kamala Harris.

02:39As you can see behind me, the White House complex is looking like a fortress.

02:40A black metal fence of more than two meters in height has been added to already existing

02:56tight security measures.

02:57Federal and local authorities fear scenes reminiscent of the deadly assault on the Capitol

03:04on January the 6th, 2021.

03:07That day, a pro-Trump mob ransacked the halls of Congress as the then president spread lies

03:14about his election loss.

03:15And today, again, Trump has already started to question the integrity of the vote before

03:21ballots are counted, especially in Georgia.

03:24In that southern state, Republican top election officials and the courts have debunked claims

03:30of fraud, but that hasn't stopped Trump from repeating them, resulting in an atmosphere

03:36of suspicion and anxiety.

03:39Will the election be peaceful?

03:41America is holding its breath.

03:44Stefan Grobe, Euronews, Washington.

03:50Citizens, volunteers and thousands of soldiers and police officers continued a joint clean-up

03:58effort following devastating floods in eastern Spain that killed over 200 people.

04:04Throughout the town of Aldaya, near Valencia, volunteers set up medical and food distribution

04:10points, but many people feel abandoned by authorities.

04:34Spain is used to autumn storms that can lead to flooding, but the latest ones have produced

04:51the deadliest flooding in living memory for Spaniards.

04:55The situation in large parts of Valencia remains dramatic.

04:59Ninety kilometres of regional railway line were destroyed by the floods.

05:04It will take months to get back to normal.

05:14Thousands of Georgian opposition supporters gathered in Tbilisi for a second time on Monday

05:19to protest the election result they say was rigged.

05:23The ruling Georgian Dream Party was declared the winner on 26 October amid allegations

05:29of vote rigging helped by Russia.

05:32The protesters waved Georgian and European flags demanding new parliamentary elections

05:37under international supervision and an investigation of the alleged election fraud.

05:45European election observers said they witnessed instances of bribery, double voting and physical

05:50violence.

05:53Opposition leaders vowed to boycott sessions of parliament and hold regular protests until

05:58their demands are met.

06:01The opposition is also urging the West not to recognise the vote and will gather more

06:05evidence of violations to push for a new election.

06:17Sweden has rejected 13 out of 14 planned offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, citing security

06:25concerns.

06:26Only one new wind farm has been approved, the Poseidon project, which will have a maximum

06:31of 81 turbines.

06:56Sweden's defence minister said that the wind farms would make it harder to detect and shoot

07:08down missiles to defend the latest NATO member in case of a conflict.

07:15Germany and the UK signed a significant defence treaty last week, enhancing cooperation against

07:20land, sea, air and deep precision strike capabilities.

07:24The signing of the Trinity House Agreement binds Germany, the UK and France through bilateral

07:29treaties.

07:31Defence expert Dr Eileen Matle says the timing of signing the pact is no coincidence.

07:37It certainly is another step in order to strengthen the European pillar in NATO.

07:44Other steps have been, for example, the European long-range strike approach, which focuses

07:50on developing and acquiring together in a sort of European context long-range missiles

07:56that have become much more vital to the defence and also the sort of air defence bits of European

08:02nations in the wake of and also the context of Russia's renewed attack on Ukraine.

08:08However, is the treaty enough to strengthen NATO?

08:14I don't think that this agreement alone will be the silver bullet saving and helping Europeans

08:24to contribute much more to their own defence and to take care of their own defence.

08:29But I think it certainly is a very important step in political terms because it sends a

08:35message both to domestic audiences but even more importantly to other Europeans and also

08:41to the US audience.

08:44What is the future of this treaty?

08:49So the only thing I think is important also to bear in mind in this context is that this

08:55agreement is not legally binding yet.

08:58In order to make it legally binding, both countries have announced to come up with an

09:04actual treaty that will then be signed by both heads of state, by German Chancellor

09:10Scholz and by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, which as far as I know is supposed to be

09:17drawn up earlier next year.

09:20This happens in every election, it's commonplace.

09:24This new pact symbolises a new chapter in European security.

09:28Whatever the outcome in the US election, a stronger, more self-reliant Europe is a necessity.

09:35Liv Stroud, in Berlin, for Euronews.

09:41Four people, including minors, were injured in a violent axe attack on a train near Paris,

09:49according to French media reports citing police sources.

09:53One victim reportedly had their hand severed while another had their skull split open.

09:58The two others were less seriously injured.

10:01They were hurt after a fight broke out aboard the French train line in the morning.

10:06What's shocking is that it happened at 8am, the day of the school return,

10:11since we've just spent 15 days on holiday.

10:13That means that they may have made an appointment there.

10:15So what's really shocking about that is that it may have been assumed that they were

10:21going to their school with weapons.

10:28The state rail operator said because the train was halted at the station at the time of the incident,

10:34the violence did not affect traffic on the line.

10:43Palestinian officials say Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have attacked their neighbourhoods,

10:49setting cars and property on fire.

10:51Local officials said at least 18 vehicles were burned,

10:55but no one was wounded during the early morning attack in Al-Biray, a city adjacent to Ramallah.

11:02Israeli police who handle law enforcement matters involving settlers in the West Bank

11:07said they were investigating the incident.

11:09Meanwhile, senior officials in the Palestine Foreign Affairs have condemned Israel's ending

11:15of the agreement with a UN agency providing aid in Gaza.

11:19We are deeply concerned by this unlawful decision which revokes the privileges and immunities of UNRWA

11:25and terminates its operation in the occupied state of Palestine.

11:29We consider these laws as illegal, null and void.

11:34Israel says the agency, known as UNRWA, has been infiltrated by Hamas.

11:39UNRWA denies the allegations and says it takes measures to ensure its neutrality.
