Emmanuel Macron welcomed Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky for a trilateral meeting
00:06
ahead of Notre Dame's reopening.
00:11
Syrian insurgents have reached the suburbs of the capital Damascus, according to opposition
00:16
activists and a rebel commander.
00:22
Russian strikes target the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia, killing nine and injuring
00:27
close to 20 others.
00:31
US President-elect Donald Trump was welcomed at Elysee Palace in Paris by French President
00:36
Emmanuel Macron ahead of the opening ceremony celebrating the restoration of the Notre Dame
00:42
Cathedral.
00:44
Shortly after Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was also seen arriving, as the three
00:50
are set to have a trilateral meeting.
00:53
Trump was invited as President-elect of a friendly nation, Macron said, adding that
00:58
other politicians not now in office had been invited as well.
01:08
Syrian insurgents have reached the suburbs of the capital Damascus, opposition activists
01:13
and a rebel commander said on Saturday.
01:16
The insurgent commander posted on Telegram that opposition forces are headed to Damascus
01:21
from southern Syria.
01:25
The advance comes less than a week after taking control of Syria's largest city Aleppo.
01:31
In their lightning-fast offensive, the rebels managed to move south and capture Hama, before
01:36
starting an advance on the city of Homs.
01:40
On Saturday, insurgent fighters claimed to have seized most of the country's south, as
01:44
government forces withdrew there, sending large numbers of reinforcements to defend
01:49
Homs.
01:51
If the insurgents capture Homs, they would cut the link between Damascus, President Assad's
01:56
seat of power, and the coastal region where the president enjoys wide support.
02:07
A Russian attack on Ukraine's southeastern city of Zaporizhia has killed at least nine
02:11
people and wounded close to 20 others.
02:14
Footage released by Ukraine's state emergency service showed firefighters putting out blazes
02:18
on Friday night in the aftermath of the deadly attack.
02:22
Authorities say the attacks targeted a service station which was destroyed and caused damage
02:26
to several nearby homes, businesses and vehicles on the street.
02:31
Air raid alerts sounded across the city from 5 p.m. local time, as Ukraine's air force
02:36
warned of more potential attacks.
02:38
The bomb struck unsuspecting civilians, many who were just trying to have a peaceful holiday,
02:43
as the country observed St. Nicholas Day.
02:46
Russian forces also targeted a residential building in the neighboring city of Kriviari.
02:52
Two people were killed in that attack, and a dozen more were injured.
02:56
Local officials condemned the offensive and accused Russia of targeting civilian positions
03:01
with no regard for human life.
03:05
Alice Wiedel is now officially the first chancellor candidate the German far-right party AFD presented
03:10
for the upcoming snap elections set for February 2025.
03:15
Although in practice she has no chance of taking the chancellery as other parties refused
03:19
to work with the populist party, the alternative for Germany has been getting strong approval
03:23
rates and is currently the second strongest party polling between 18 and 19 percent in
03:27
nationwide surveys.
03:38
The 45-year-old economist has co-led the party since 2022, and she promises to turn
03:43
back the country's climate-friendly energy transition and cut down harshly on migration.
03:52
Police in Georgia have used water cannon and tear gas to break up mass protests sparked
03:57
by the government's decision to suspend negotiations on joining the European Union.
04:03
More than 400 protesters, including opposition leaders and activists, have been detained
04:07
and more than 100 people treated for injuries.
04:11
The ruling Georgian Dream retained control of parliament in the disputed 26th October
04:16
election, a vote widely seen as a referendum on Georgia's EU aspirations.
04:22
The opposition accused the governing party of rigging the vote with the help of neighboring
04:26
Russia to keep the Moscow-friendly Georgian Dream party in power.
04:30
But the protests against the election spread beyond Tbilisi after the decision last Thursday
04:35
to put EU accession talks on hold until at least 2028.
04:40
That was in response to a European Parliament resolution that criticized the elections as
04:44
neither free nor fair.
