00:00Austerity champions no more. Germany, Netherlands and Austria are facing a warning from Brussels

00:07for high budget spending.

00:11Russia launched a record number of 188 drones towards Ukraine in an overnight blitz.

00:21As Russia trains North Korean troops along the Ukrainian border, MEPs reaffirmed EU support

00:27for Kyiv's forces.

00:34U.S. President Joe Biden said the deal brokered between Israel and Hezbollah that aims to

00:39achieve a 60-day ceasefire is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.

00:44Good afternoon. For the next 60 days, the Lebanese army and state security forces will

00:50deploy and take control of their own territory once again. Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure

00:56in southern Lebanon will not be allowed to be rebuilt. And over the next 60 days, Israel

01:02will gradually withdraw its remaining forces.

01:06Biden thanked France's President Emmanuel Macron for his partnership in reaching the

01:11deal and said they would work together to provide assistance to ensure its successful

01:16implementation.

01:19Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that they would respond strongly to

01:23any violation of the proposed ceasefire deal.

01:45Shortly after Biden's announcement, an Israeli airstrike shook the Lebanese capital of Beirut

01:51and at least 24 people were killed in strikes across the country in the day leading up to

01:56the deal. Hezbollah had also been firing rockets, triggering air raid sirens across the north

02:02of Israel.

02:06The agreement does not affect Israel's war in Gaza, but Biden expressed hope that the

02:11ceasefire would be a catalyst to also reach an agreement between Israel and Hamas.

02:21Between the Netherlands and Austria, the usual champions of austerity in the EU are now being

02:27targeted by the European Commission for their high spending.

02:33A change that has not gone unnoticed by Economy Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni.

02:51If there are strict rules, in several cases, these strict rules were asked by, I'm not

03:05addressing my finger to anyone, but someone asked for these strict rules.

03:13Brussels believes Germany's budget plan is not entirely in line with expenditure ceilings.

03:20An opposition MEP points to the country's current situation as one of the causes.

03:26Now we see that we have problems in innovation, that we have problems with investments, and

03:33that's the reason why Germany goes into an economic crisis.

03:40But while some are being singled out, those traditionally in the spotlight, such as southern

03:45European countries, are now on the opposite side.

03:50Although France, with a deficit double that allowed by the EU, has presented a plan that

03:55is too austere, says a Social Democrat MEP.

04:01It's a real austerity policy proposed by France.

04:06It will affect France's growth, but also that of the EU.

04:11So I don't think France is making the right choices.

04:14After a pause due to the pandemic, this is the first time that the fiscal rules have

04:19been reactivated after being reformed.

04:27Russia launched almost 200 drones towards 17 regions in Ukraine in an overnight blitz,

04:33marking the record number of drones fired by Russia in a single attack.

04:38Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said that while most of the drones were shot down,

04:43the shelling damaged apartment buildings and critical infrastructure, such as a national

04:47power grid.

04:51Almost 200 Russian drones against Ukraine in one day is almost 200 proof that Russian

04:58aspirations are far from any ideas about real peace.

05:03In many regions, efforts are still underway to adjust the aftermath of the drone strikes.

05:08Zelensky also said a rescue operation was underway in the Sumy region after an attack

05:13on an auto repair shop killed two people.

05:16Meanwhile, in a rare official acknowledgement, Moscow said that long-range missiles launched

05:21by Ukraine damaged infrastructure and injured several servicemen in Russia's Kursk region.

05:27Speaker of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin urged the West to refrain from escalating

05:32tensions as it could ultimately harm the citizens of Europe.

05:46Volodin also said that the new Oreshnik ballistic missile was necessary to protect Russian citizens.

06:05MEPs reaffirmed their strong support for Ukraine, condemning the military cooperation between

06:11Russia and North Korea during a debate at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

06:16Leaders have called on the EU to step up Ukrainian support politically, financially, militarily

06:21and with humanitarian aid.

06:23We know that the current level of assistance remains insufficient to tilt the situation

06:29on the battlefield in Ukraine's favour.

06:32We know that Russia has put its entire economy on a wartime footing and calls on the military

06:39backing of North Korea and Iran as well as the substantial support provided by China.

06:48We need to step up our assistance.

06:55European countries have been discussing plans to boost defence investments in Ukraine for

07:00months, with uncertainty surrounding the incoming US administration and its support to Kiev

07:05under President-elect Donald Trump growing.

07:09French Prime Minister Michel Barnier might lose his seat due to a controversial budget move.

07:19He argues that 40 billion euro in spending cuts and 20 billion euro in tax hikes are

07:24needed to reduce the country's debt spiral, which is over double the EU limit.

07:28However, lawmakers from other parties have refused to back his measures, meaning Barnier

07:33would need to use a constitutional clause to forcibly pass it until December 21st.

07:38This could lead to a no-confidence vote, which left-wing politicians have threatened

07:42and members of the far-right National Rally also warned they would back the vote unless

07:47budget changes were made.

07:49Marine Le Pen disagrees with the tax increase but wants cuts to medical aid for migrants

07:54and bureaucracy.

07:58With just under five months to go, preparations are well underway for the Osaka World Expo 2025.

08:06Delegates from around the world met in Paris on Tuesday to discuss the latest developments

08:11and find solutions to the different challenges encountered.

08:15The World Expo is one of the oldest and largest international events.

08:26More than 160 countries will present their latest innovations next year in Japan.

08:33But with only around 7.3 million tickets sold as of November, Japanese authorities hope

08:38to bolster their communication strategy to attract more European visitors.

09:03The governor of Osaka announced Ukraine will be participating in next year's Expo despite

09:12Russia's full-scale invasion.

09:14Moscow withdrew from the event last year.

09:17Organizers hope the World Expo will bring unity to the world.

09:22It's a possibility for the world to come together, to try and talk together and to have a dialogue.

09:27And I think that one of the things we noticed, especially in the last couple of years, is

09:32that we have a lot of people coming together.

09:35We have a lot of people coming together.

09:37We have a lot of people coming together.

09:39We have a lot of people coming together.

09:41We have a lot of people coming together.

09:43We have a lot of people coming together.

09:45We have a lot of people coming together.

09:48And I think that one of the things we noticed, especially in the last few years, in the different

09:52geopolitical context that we have and the problems that have been arising all over the world,

09:56is that we need a place for dialogue.

09:58We need somewhere where the world can come together and where, for once, perhaps we don't

10:03let our differences separate us, but we let our differences bring us together.

10:07The Osaka World Expo will take place from April to October next year and aims to welcome

10:13an estimated 28 million visitors.

10:34This exhibition is special because it's the first time we can see the wholeness of

10:40Tove Jansson's or all public artworks that she has ever made.

10:59It is the jubilee year of the first Moomin book, as we know, The Moomins and the Great Flood.

11:06And this theme kind of connects it also to this exhibition.

11:11And we have also here animation from the first book.
