00:00The U.S. Justice Department charges an Iranian man in connection with an alleged plot to
00:06kill Donald Trump.
00:11Germany's economy minister, Robert Habeck, says his chancellor campaign will focus on
00:16finding solutions.
00:22The U.S. Justice Department has charged an Iranian man in connection with an alleged
00:26plot to kill Donald Trump.
00:29Fahad Shaqiri, an alleged Iranian government asset, told investigators that a contact in
00:34the Revolutionary Guard instructed him in September to assemble a plan to kill Trump.
00:39Shaqiri told investigators his contact said that if he couldn't put together a plan within
00:44a seven-day time frame, the plot would be paused until after the election because the
00:49official assumed Trump would lose.
00:51Shaqiri told investigators he was cooperating in a bid to get a reduced prison sentence
00:56for an associate who's in prison in America.
00:59The U.S. government said Shaqiri hasn't been arrested and is believed to be in Iran.
01:04Iran's mission to the United Nations has declined to comment.
01:08And a spokesperson for Trump said the president-elect was aware of the plot and nothing will deter
01:12him from returning to the White House and restoring peace around the world.
01:20Following his announcement that he intends to run as the Green Party's candidate for
01:25chancellor, Germany's economy minister Robert Habeck says his campaign will focus on finding
01:31solutions.
01:32I want to put it this way.
01:33If you're looking for problems, you'll find problems.
01:34And if you're looking for solutions, you'll find solutions.
01:35So the election campaign has to be about finding solutions and not pointing to problems.
01:44Habeck, who is also vice-chancellor, announced his decision following the collapse of Chancellor
01:49Olaf Scholz's three-party coalition on Wednesday.
01:54But the Greens still face an uphill battle, as their support hovers around 10 percent
01:58following declines in recent elections.
02:02Habeck says he's prepared to try and earn back the trust that's been lost.
02:10Berlin celebrates 35 years since the fall of the wall, a significant day not just for
02:16Germany.
02:17Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tukhanovskaya has travelled to Berlin to mark the occasion
02:23For many Belarusian citizens, the fall of the wall has a very special meaning, she says.
02:28For Belarusians in Berlin, the wall has a very important symbolic meaning, because this
02:33is what Belarusians to some extent experience at the moment.
02:38People in Belarus live under the constant threat of repressions imposed by Belarusian
02:43ruler Alexander Lukashenko, but only they themselves can stop him, says Tukhanovskaya.
02:50I'm fully sure that the wall in Belarus will collapse, but of course it depends on us Belarusians,
02:56but also on the wall's solidarity.
03:00The Berlin wall, it didn't collapse by itself, just, you know, suddenly.
03:05It was a monotonous work of many, many people at that time.
03:10Remaining united and persistent for a free Belarus.
03:20A suicide bomber blew himself up at a train station in southwestern Pakistan on Saturday,
03:34killing at least 24 people and wounding 50 others.
03:38The attack happened when nearly 100 passengers were waiting for a train in the troubled Balochistan
03:42province.
03:44An outlawed separatist group called Balochistan Liberation Army claimed the attack and said
03:48the target were troops at the station.
03:51The group has long waged an insurgency seeking independence from Islamabad.
03:55Police said about a dozen security forces are among the dead.
03:59The oil and mineral rich Balochistan is Pakistan's largest but also least populated province.
04:04It is also a hub for the country's ethnic Baloch minority, whose members say they face
04:08discrimination and exploitation by the central government.
04:14Two separate Israeli airstrikes killed at least 13 people, including women and children
04:18in Gaza on Saturday, Palestinian medical officials said.
04:21One of the strikes hit a school-turned-shelter.
04:23Two local journalists, a pregnant woman and a child are among the dead.
04:27The Israeli army claims the target belonged to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant
04:30group, but no evidence or further detail was given.
04:35Another seven people were killed when an Israeli strike hit a tent in the southern city of
04:39Khan Yunis, where displaced people were sheltering, according to Nasser Hospital.
