00:00
Russian President Vladimir Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron will not attend
00:06
the landmark UN climate summit in Baku this month.
00:10
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says about 11,000 North Korean troops have now
00:15
reached the Kursk border region in Russia.
00:21
Thousands of Georgians again protested against election results as opposition leaders vowed
00:26
to boycott parliament.
00:31
Sweden has rejected 13 out of 14 planned offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, citing security
00:38
concerns.
00:45
Sources close to the UN informed Euronews that Russian President Vladimir Putin and
00:50
French President Emmanuel Macron will not attend the landmark UN climate summit in Baku
00:55
this month.
00:56
More than 100 leaders confirmed their attendance to COP29 in Azerbaijan, where they will review
01:02
the climate goal set nine years ago in Paris, which aims to keep the global temperature
01:07
rise a century well below two degrees Celsius.
01:12
From Europe, leaders from Czechia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Spain have
01:17
said they will attend.
01:20
This year's COP has been dubbed the finance COP.
01:23
The key issue up for debate is who pays the trillions of dollars developing countries
01:27
need in order to cope with increasingly extreme weather while avoiding the reliance on fossil
01:32
fuels.
01:34
The White House confirmed earlier that U.S. President Joe Biden will also not be attending
01:39
the climate summit.
01:42
Citizens, volunteers and thousands of soldiers and police officers continued a joint clean-up
01:51
effort following devastating floods in eastern Spain that killed over 200 people.
01:57
Throughout the town of Aldaya, near Valencia, volunteers set up medical and food distribution
02:03
points, but many people feel abandoned by authorities.
02:21
Spain is used to autumn storms that can lead to flooding, but the latest ones have produced
02:45
the deadliest flooding in living memory for Spaniards.
02:49
The situation in large parts of Valencia remains dramatic.
02:53
Ninety kilometers of regional railway line were destroyed by the floods.
02:57
It will take months to get back to normal.
03:04
The hearings to confirm nominees for EU commissioners have begun.
03:09
The first two candidates, the veteran Maros Cefcovic, Commissioner for Trade and Economic
03:15
Security, and the youngest, Glenn Michaleff, Commissioner for Intergenerational Justice,
03:20
were screened in Brussels on Monday.
03:23
The Slovak Cefcovic, who has been in office since 2009, spoke against trade wars and defended
03:30
his position strongly.
03:33
Clashes with China and the Mercosur agreement were the focus of the three-hour hearing.
03:42
Despite being criticized for his lack of experience, Malta's Glenn Michaleff seems
03:54
to have convinced MEPs.
04:23
The hearings will end next Tuesday with the questioning of nominees for European Commission
04:28
Vice Presidents Kaya Kalas and Teresa Ribeiro.
04:35
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said about 11,000 North Korean troops have
04:40
now reached the Kursk border region in Russia.
04:44
Zelenskyy, in his nightly address on Monday, criticized the West for its muted response.
04:49
He said more counter-efforts are needed to stop the North Korean deployments in Kursk.
05:19
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials said on Monday that their forces had fired at North Korean
05:22
soldiers in combat for the first time since their deployment by Russia.
05:28
Ukrainian troops have held large areas of Kursk since early August, after Kyiv launched
05:33
a surprise cross-border offensive in the region.
05:44
Thousands of Georgian opposition supporters gathered in Tbilisi for a second time on Monday
05:48
to protest the election result they say was rigged.
05:53
The ruling Georgian Dream Party was declared the winner on 26 October amid allegations
05:58
of vote-rigging helped by Russia.
06:02
The protesters waved Georgian and European flags, demanding new parliamentary elections
06:07
under international supervision and an investigation of the alleged election fraud.
06:14
European election observers said they witnessed instances of bribery, double voting and physical
06:19
violence.
06:23
Opposition leaders vowed to boycott sessions of parliament and hold regular protests until
06:27
their demands are met.
06:30
The opposition is also urging the West not to recognize the vote and will gather more
06:35
evidence of violations to push for a new election.
06:47
Sweden has rejected 13 out of 14 planned offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, citing security
06:54
concerns.
06:55
Only one new wind farm has been approved, the Poseidon project, which will have a maximum
07:00
of 81 turbines.
07:30
Sweden's defence minister said that the wind farms would make it harder to detect and shoot
07:38
down missiles to defend the latest NATO member in case of a conflict.
07:45
Voters have started arriving at polling stations across the United States to cast their ballots
07:50
in the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
07:56
They will also decide which party, Republican or Democrat, will control the House of Representatives
08:02
and the Senate.
08:03
I tried to stick to my values and just tried to pick candidates that aligned to those values
08:10
and who I thought were going to be best for the offices that they were running for.
08:17
But the results of the election will not be official until all votes are counted, which
08:21
could take a number of days, partly due to the processing time of mail-in ballot papers.
08:29
The two candidates spent the last hours of their campaign overlapping in Pennsylvania,
08:34
the biggest battleground state.
08:39
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris will be the first female president if elected.
08:44
She has promised to work across the aisle to tack economic worries and other issues
08:49
without radically departing from the course set by President Joe Biden.
08:55
Republican candidate Donald Trump has vowed to replace thousands of federal workers with
08:59
loyalists, impose sweeping tariffs on imported goods and stage the largest deportation operation
09:05
in US history.
09:12
As the United States decides on a new president, many migrants in Mexico hold their breath
09:17
for what the results could mean for their future.
09:23
Both Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic contender Kamala Harris pledged
09:28
to tighten immigration enforcement in their election campaigns.
09:33
It's worrying because suddenly this opportunity could be over.
09:41
There is a door that can be closed.
09:46
There is a lot of racism, mass deportation, deporting people who are already in the United
09:53
States, as well as wanting to remove the application of CBP-1.
09:59
Trump, who recently pledged to carry out the largest deportation operation in American
10:03
history, criticized the Biden administration for its weak stance on immigration enforcement.
10:10
As a result, Harris called for even tougher border restrictions after new asylum restrictions
10:16
imposed under Biden already led to a decrease in arrests made for illegally crossing the
10:21
border from Mexico.
10:23
While Americans are anxiously awaiting the outcome of this historic presidential race,
10:32
Washington is bracing for the worst.
10:34
The District of Columbia is preparing for another violent attack on supporters of Donald
10:39
Trump should he lose to Kamala Harris.
10:42
As you can see behind me, the White House complex is looking like a fortress.
10:47
A black metal fence of more than 2 meters in height has been added to already existing
10:52
tight security measures.
10:54
Federal and local authorities fear scenes reminiscent of the deadly assault on the Capitol
11:00
on January 6, 2021.
11:02
On that day, a pro-Trump mob ransacked the halls of Congress as the then president spread
11:09
lies about his election loss.
11:11
And today, again, Trump has already started to question the integrity of the vote before
11:17
ballots are counted, especially in Georgia.
11:20
In that southern state, Republican top election officials and the courts have debunked claims
11:26
of fraud, but that hasn't stopped Trump from repeating them, resulting in an atmosphere
11:31
of suspicion and anxiety.
11:34
Will the election be peaceful?
11:36
America is holding its breath.
