00:00Russian President Vladimir Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron will not attend

00:06the landmark UN climate summit in Baku this month.

00:10Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says about 11,000 North Korean troops have now

00:15reached the Kursk border region in Russia.

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.

00:45Sources close to the UN informed Euronews that Russian President Vladimir Putin and

00:50French President Emmanuel Macron will not attend the landmark UN climate summit in Baku

00:55this month.

00:56More than 100 leaders confirmed their attendance to COP29 in Azerbaijan, where they will review

01:02the climate goal set nine years ago in Paris, which aims to keep the global temperature

01:07rise a century well below two degrees Celsius.

01:12From Europe, leaders from Czechia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Spain have

01:17said they will attend.

01:20This year's COP has been dubbed the finance COP.

01:23The key issue up for debate is who pays the trillions of dollars developing countries

01:27need in order to cope with increasingly extreme weather while avoiding the reliance on fossil

01:32fuels.

01:34The White House confirmed earlier that U.S. President Joe Biden will also not be attending

01:39the climate summit.

01:42Citizens, volunteers and thousands of soldiers and police officers continued a joint clean-up

01:51effort following devastating floods in eastern Spain that killed over 200 people.

01:57Throughout the town of Aldaya, near Valencia, volunteers set up medical and food distribution

02:03points, but many people feel abandoned by authorities.

02:21Spain is used to autumn storms that can lead to flooding, but the latest ones have produced

02:45the deadliest flooding in living memory for Spaniards.

02:49The situation in large parts of Valencia remains dramatic.

02:53Ninety kilometers of regional railway line were destroyed by the floods.

02:57It will take months to get back to normal.

03:04The hearings to confirm nominees for EU commissioners have begun.

03:09The first two candidates, the veteran Maros Cefcovic, Commissioner for Trade and Economic

03:15Security, and the youngest, Glenn Michaleff, Commissioner for Intergenerational Justice,

03:20were screened in Brussels on Monday.

03:23The Slovak Cefcovic, who has been in office since 2009, spoke against trade wars and defended

03:30his position strongly.

03:33Clashes with China and the Mercosur agreement were the focus of the three-hour hearing.

03:42Despite being criticized for his lack of experience, Malta's Glenn Michaleff seems

03:54to have convinced MEPs.

04:23The hearings will end next Tuesday with the questioning of nominees for European Commission

04:28Vice Presidents Kaya Kalas and Teresa Ribeiro.

04:35Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said about 11,000 North Korean troops have

04:40now reached the Kursk border region in Russia.

04:44Zelenskyy, in his nightly address on Monday, criticized the West for its muted response.

04:49He said more counter-efforts are needed to stop the North Korean deployments in Kursk.

05:19Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials said on Monday that their forces had fired at North Korean

05:22soldiers in combat for the first time since their deployment by Russia.

05:28Ukrainian troops have held large areas of Kursk since early August, after Kyiv launched

05:33a surprise cross-border offensive in the region.

05:44Thousands of Georgian opposition supporters gathered in Tbilisi for a second time on Monday

05:48to protest the election result they say was rigged.

05:53The ruling Georgian Dream Party was declared the winner on 26 October amid allegations

05:58of vote-rigging helped by Russia.

06:02The protesters waved Georgian and European flags, demanding new parliamentary elections

06:07under international supervision and an investigation of the alleged election fraud.

06:14European election observers said they witnessed instances of bribery, double voting and physical

06:19violence.

06:23Opposition leaders vowed to boycott sessions of parliament and hold regular protests until

06:27their demands are met.

06:30The opposition is also urging the West not to recognize the vote and will gather more

06:35evidence of violations to push for a new election.

06:47Sweden has rejected 13 out of 14 planned offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, citing security

06:54concerns.

06:55Only one new wind farm has been approved, the Poseidon project, which will have a maximum

07:00of 81 turbines.

07:30Sweden's defence minister said that the wind farms would make it harder to detect and shoot

07:38down missiles to defend the latest NATO member in case of a conflict.

07:45Voters have started arriving at polling stations across the United States to cast their ballots

07:50in the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

07:56They will also decide which party, Republican or Democrat, will control the House of Representatives

08:02and the Senate.

08:03I tried to stick to my values and just tried to pick candidates that aligned to those values

08:10and who I thought were going to be best for the offices that they were running for.

08:17But the results of the election will not be official until all votes are counted, which

08:21could take a number of days, partly due to the processing time of mail-in ballot papers.

08:29The two candidates spent the last hours of their campaign overlapping in Pennsylvania,

08:34the biggest battleground state.

08:39Democratic candidate Kamala Harris will be the first female president if elected.

08:44She has promised to work across the aisle to tack economic worries and other issues

08:49without radically departing from the course set by President Joe Biden.

08:55Republican candidate Donald Trump has vowed to replace thousands of federal workers with

08:59loyalists, impose sweeping tariffs on imported goods and stage the largest deportation operation

09:05in US history.

09:12As the United States decides on a new president, many migrants in Mexico hold their breath

09:17for what the results could mean for their future.

09:23Both Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic contender Kamala Harris pledged

09:28to tighten immigration enforcement in their election campaigns.

09:33It's worrying because suddenly this opportunity could be over.

09:41There is a door that can be closed.

09:46There is a lot of racism, mass deportation, deporting people who are already in the United

09:53States, as well as wanting to remove the application of CBP-1.

09:59Trump, who recently pledged to carry out the largest deportation operation in American

10:03history, criticized the Biden administration for its weak stance on immigration enforcement.

10:10As a result, Harris called for even tougher border restrictions after new asylum restrictions

10:16imposed under Biden already led to a decrease in arrests made for illegally crossing the

10:21border from Mexico.

10:23While Americans are anxiously awaiting the outcome of this historic presidential race,

10:32Washington is bracing for the worst.

10:34The District of Columbia is preparing for another violent attack on supporters of Donald

10:39Trump should he lose to Kamala Harris.

10:42As you can see behind me, the White House complex is looking like a fortress.

10:47A black metal fence of more than 2 meters in height has been added to already existing

10:52tight security measures.

10:54Federal and local authorities fear scenes reminiscent of the deadly assault on the Capitol

11:00on January 6, 2021.

11:02On that day, a pro-Trump mob ransacked the halls of Congress as the then president spread

11:09lies about his election loss.

11:11And today, again, Trump has already started to question the integrity of the vote before

11:17ballots are counted, especially in Georgia.

11:20In that southern state, Republican top election officials and the courts have debunked claims

11:26of fraud, but that hasn't stopped Trump from repeating them, resulting in an atmosphere

11:31of suspicion and anxiety.

11:34Will the election be peaceful?

11:36America is holding its breath.
