00:00Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock questioned whether the DHL cargo plane crash

00:06in Lithuania was a hybrid attack.

00:11Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Lebanon's ceasefire efforts are at the centre

00:16of G7 talks in Italy.

00:22Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani expressed hope for a ceasefire in Lebanon as he opened

00:28a group of seven meeting in Italy that gathered foreign ministers from world's leading economies.

00:33We have discussed the humanitarian issue, we are all in favour of a ceasefire in both

00:42scenarios.

00:43On Lebanon, we also discussed the day after, both with regard to Lebanon and Gaza.

00:54Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said Israel is moving forward

00:59towards a ceasefire with Lebanon, but noted that change will happen in stages.

01:03It's not going to happen overnight, there will be a few stages, a few requirements.

01:10The most important condition for us is the withdrawal of Hezbollah north of the Litany.

01:15As leaders potentially come closer to reaching a ceasefire deal, Israel and Hezbollah continue

01:20to exchange fire.

01:22On Monday, the Israeli military launched several airstrikes across Lebanon, killing at least

01:2731.

01:32Speaking on the sidelines of the G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Italy, German Foreign

01:37Minister Annalena Baerbock questioned whether the DHL cargo plane crash in Lithuania was

01:42a hybrid attack.

01:45On Monday, the cargo plane arriving from Germany crashed on approach to the Vilnius airport

01:49in Lithuania, killing one crew member and injuring three others.

01:54We now have to seriously ask ourselves whether this was an accident or, after last week,

02:00a hybrid accident again shows in what volatile times we are currently living in Europe.

02:10The cause of the crash remains unknown and an investigation is underway.

02:15Lithuanian officials said sabotage cannot be ruled out, but stressed that there is currently

02:19no concrete evidence.

02:22Aviation experts who spoke to local media said that they noticed nothing out of the

02:26ordinary when they listened to the communication between the crew and the air traffic controller.

02:31You can see that it was a routine situation, looking into the eyes of the eagle, it was

02:38a routine communication between the flight leaders and pilots, they did not declare any

02:43dangerous situations, they did not talk about any injuries, explosions or anything else.

02:50Both Spanish and German officials will further assist Lithuanian authorities in their investigation.

03:02At least 23 people have been injured in a Russian daytime attack on Kharkiv, according

03:08to its regional governor.

03:09The 8.30 a.m. attack targeted a central, densely populated residential area, said Kharkiv's

03:16mayor.

03:18Local authorities reported damaged residential houses as a result of the strike.

03:27The center of Odessa was also targeted by a Russian daytime attack, injuring at least

03:3311 people.

03:34Ukraine's air defenses reported to have downed 50 of 73 Russian drones launched during overnight

03:41attacks, dozens of them targeting Zaporozhye.

03:54In Russia, Kursk's governor reported on his Telegram channel that air defenses destroyed

03:59seven Ukrainian missiles overnight over the region.

04:03Ukrainian forces captured a British mercenary named James Scott Reese, who was fighting

04:08with the Ukrainian army in Russia's Kursk region, a security source told Russian state

04:13news agency.

04:19Thousands of protesters rallied outside the newly elected Georgian parliament as it opened

04:24its inaugural session, accusing the ruling Georgian Dream Party of rigging the vote.

04:30Opposition lawmakers and the country's ceremonial president refused to participate in the parliamentary

04:36activities.

05:00Observers said the country's recent election took place in an atmosphere marked by bribery,

05:05double voting and physical violence.

05:23Georgia's president filed a constitutional lawsuit saying principles of voting secrecy

05:28and universality were violated.

05:58Critics accused Georgian Dream of becoming increasingly authoritarian and tilting towards

06:12Moscow.

06:20Romania's political landscape is reeling after a little-known far-right populist secured

06:25the first round in the presidential election, going from an obscure candidate to beating

06:29the incumbent prime minister.

06:33Kalin Djordjevsku, who ran independently, will face off against reformist Elena Laskony

06:38in a run-off in two weeks.

06:41With just under 23% of the vote after nearly all ballots were counted, Djordjevsku was

06:47ahead.

06:49Most local surveys predicted he would win less than 10% of the vote.

06:55Laskony, of the Progressive Save Romania Union Party, followed with just over 19%.

07:02She beat the incumbent prime minister, who resigned as leaders of the Establishment PSD

07:07Party following the first round results.

07:12The second round of the vote will be held on December 8th.

07:25For many, it is the book of the year.

07:27The 16 years of her chancellorship were characterised by stability.

07:32But in view of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, critics accuse her of Germany's dependence

07:37on Russian gas and a lack of innovation.

07:42Publicist Ursula Weidenfeld has written a biography of Angela Merkel in 2021, hearing

07:48you spoke to her about the former chancellor.

07:54Merkel was a pragmatic chancellor, Weidenfeld explains.

08:12Her calm manner sets her apart from the CDU's current candidate for chancellor, Friedrich

08:17Merz, who is considered impulsive.

08:37The workplace culture may return to its more patriarchal state if Merz wins the February

08:42elections.

08:44There may be a different role of distribution of men and women in politics.

08:51I think you can see that not only in Germany, but also in Europe and the world, the trend

09:01is against women or women in top positions.

09:06And possibly that is also something that will happen in Germany.

09:12Angela Merkel was not innovative.

09:14She focused on the wishes of her voters.

09:17Growth, prosperity and no changes, these are wishes that are still current today, in the

09:23face of crises and upheavals.

09:25Perhaps the CDU will use this old-fashioned formula for their election campaign.

09:30Diana Reznik, from Berlin, for euronews.

09:35The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been nominated by the SPD to be the candidate for

09:41chancellor.

09:42Unanimously, according to party circles.

09:45The SPD has been struggling with this decision for two weeks.

09:49Defense Minister Boris Pistorius was, for many, the better candidate.

09:53And also the party leader Saskia Esten admitted that this is not a good picture.

09:58Jusos' boss has blamed the party leader for the failure to lead.

10:03On January 11, Olaf Scholz will be officially confirmed as a candidate.

10:07Diana Reznik, from Berlin, for euronews.

10:15French prosecutors demanded the maximum sentence of a 20-year jail term for Giselle Pellicot's

10:21ex-husband, who admitted to drugging, raping and inviting dozens of men to rape her while

10:26she was unconscious.

10:29France's Prime Minister Michel Barnier praised Pellicot for her incredible courage.

10:35He announced the government would allocate additional funding to support victims of domestic

10:39violence and that there would be a simplified procedure to file complaints.

10:59The trial has drawn international attention and transformed Pellicot into an icon for campaigners

11:05fighting against sexual violence.

11:08Holding banners and flags, Pellicot's campaigners have shown their support for women's rights

11:14and freedom of expression.

11:16Pellicot's campaigners have shown their support for women's rights and freedom of expression.

11:22Transformed Pellicot into an icon for campaigners fighting against sexual violence.

11:27Holding banners and purple smoke flares, dozens of feminist activists performed the haka while

11:32court proceedings were ongoing in Avignon.
