00:36Multiple German political parties launched their electoral campaign ahead of the country's

00:37February 23rd federal election.

00:38It is one of the deadliest quakes China has seen in recent years.

00:39Many others are injured.

00:43The quake hit the holy Shigatse city around 9 a.m. local time on Tuesday at a depth of

00:49about 10 kilometers, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey.

00:55Earthquakes are common in the mountainous region of Tibet in western China, which lies

00:59between the Indian and Eurasian plates.

01:03The U.S. Geological Survey says there have been more than 10 earthquakes of at least

01:07magnitude 6 to strike this area over the past century.

01:17Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed to uphold Syria's territorial integrity,

01:22saying he would continue his country's fight against the Kurdistan Workers' Party during

01:27a speech following his cabinet's first 2025 meeting.

01:30Erdogan reiterated Turkish support for Syria and warned Ankara would act swiftly against

01:35perceived threats.

01:38Erdogan reiterated Turkish support for Syria and warned Ankara would act swiftly against

01:39perceived threats.

01:40Erdogan pledged to achieve a terror-free Turkey through peaceful means if possible, but with

02:05force if necessary.

02:08During Syria's uprising-turned-conflict, U.S.-backed Kurdish-dominated forces carved

02:13out an enclave of autonomous rule across northeastern Syria, never allying entirely with Al-Assad

02:20in Damascus, nor the rebels trying to overthrow him.

02:26The Lebanese army says it has begun deploying to the southern coastal city of Nakoura following

02:32the withdrawal of Israeli troops under the ceasefire conditions agreed upon in November.

02:38A video released by the Lebanese army on Monday showed military vehicles driving in

02:42Nakoura in the Tahrir district.

02:45The troops' deployment followed that of two other southern towns where Israeli troops

02:49have withdrawn since the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel went into effect.

02:55The deployment also coincided with a meeting of the committee overseeing the ceasefire

03:00agreement in Ras al-Nakoura, which is home to the headquarters of the UN peacekeeping

03:05mission in Lebanon known as UNIFIL.

03:07Meanwhile, local officials in Gaza say a strike in Buraj, a Palestinian refugee camp

03:14located in the central Gaza Strip, on Monday night killed at least three people.

03:20Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza has killed over 45,800 Palestinians, according to Gaza's

03:27health ministry.

03:30U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Japan on Tuesday, aiming to strengthen

03:37relations between the two countries.

03:39At a time of tensions in geopolitics in the region and globally, Blinken thanked Japan

03:45for rapidly standing up for Ukraine after Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.

03:50Because Japan saw it and recognized it and stood up, resonated around the world, a recognition

03:56here that the aggression that Russia was committing was not only against Ukraine, not only against

04:01the Ukrainian people, but against the very principles that are at the heart of the international

04:05system.

04:07The visit comes just a day after North Korea fired an inter-ballistic missile into the

04:11Eastern Sea close to Japan.

04:14The U.S. says Russia is now providing Pyongyang with military equipment and training, and

04:19that Putin may be close to accepting the North's nuclear weapons program.

04:25This will be Blinken's last overseas trip before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes

04:30office.

04:31On Friday, the Biden administration announced it will deliver a 3.5 billion Euro military

04:36package to Japan.

04:43The German federal election is in full swing.

04:46Multiple parties have kicked off their election campaigns in what's being dubbed as one of

04:50the most crucial elections in German history.

04:53The Greens party began their campaign tour in Lübeck, where some 1,200 people attended.

04:59The event was headlined by Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck and Foreign Minister Annalena

05:04Baerbock.

05:05The Greens were quick to attack their competition, accusing previous governments under the Christian

05:10Democratic Union Party of plunging the country into economic turmoil.

05:15The Greens promised to continue on the path of making Germany greener and pledged to continue

05:20advancing renewable energy projects.

05:23Habeck says the party's economic outlook is designed to address issues of concern to ordinary

05:28Germans, like rising rents and scarce job opportunities.

05:33He adds that unlike his rivals, he will implement policy that will make Germany affordable again.

05:58The Christian Social Union Party also held a meeting in preparation for the upcoming

06:08elections.

06:10The party organized a three-day event in Bavaria, which reportedly featured businessmen and

06:14foreign politicians as attendees.

06:17The party's chairman, Markus Söder, presented a very different approach, instead opting

06:22to abort green policies, which he labeled as ineffective and expensive.

06:26His party pledges to vastly increase investment in areas like the auto industry, research

06:31and innovation, new technology, and defense industries, all areas the CSU accused the

06:37ruling coalition of ignoring.

06:39The CSU has already ruled out any possible coalition with the Greens in the upcoming

07:02federal election.

07:04Others are faced with a critical decision on the 23rd of February, in an election with

07:09a lot at stake.

07:15Far-right French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen has died at the age of 96.

07:20According to his family, he had been in a care facility for several weeks.

07:28One of France's most controversial figures, Le Pen formed the Front National Party, since

07:33rebranded as the National Rally by his daughter Marine.

07:38Le Pen was an extremist on race, gender and immigration.

07:42His controversial statements, including holocaust denial, led to multiple convictions.

07:48In 2002, he ran against Jacques Chirac in the presidential elections, a race he was

07:55expected to not even reach.

08:00Chirac won by a landslide.

08:02The moment, however, is seen as a turning point for the party, now one of France's main

08:07political forces.

08:17A decade after the deadly assault on the offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo,

08:23France paused on Tuesday to honor the victims, but also to grapple with the evolving challenges

08:28of free expression and terrorism.

08:31President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo led solemn tributes at the site

08:36of the attack, where 12 people were killed on the 7th of January 2015.

08:42Speaking to local media, French Interior Minister Bruno Reteyeux cited the recent attacks at

08:47public gatherings in Germany and New Orleans as grim reminders of why France must maintain

08:52a very high level of caution.

09:16The attack on Charlie Hebdo carried out in retaliation for the newspaper's irreverent

09:21caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed ignited fierce global debates about the limits of

09:25free expression.

09:28Ten years on, Charlie Hebdo said its research shows that while a majority of the French

09:32still believe in the fundamental right to caricature, younger generations increasingly

09:36criticize satire they see as divisive or insensitive, particularly toward marginalized communities.

09:50Moldova accuses Kremlin of orchestrating a security crisis in the country.

09:54Since 1st of January, Transnistria, a separatist pro-Russian Moldovan territory, has no longer

09:59been receiving gas from Russia, which used to transit via Ukraine.

10:05The government in Kisnau has offered to help, but the gesture was rejected by the Transnistrian

10:09officials.

10:10The situation is now worrying for the inhabitants, as winter conditions are getting worse.

10:16What we see today in the Transnistrian region is that people don't have electricity for

10:22hours, they don't have heating, most of all, they don't have access to gas, and starting

10:31today they have even interruptions of water supply.

10:38Moldova's prime minister accuses Russia of provoking a humanitarian crisis in the region

10:42with the aim of destabilizing the pro-European government a few months ahead of parliamentary

10:46elections scheduled for this autumn.

10:51According to Kisnau, Russia's interest is in being able to strengthen its military presence

10:55in Transnistria, since it has around 1,500 soldiers in the region bordering Ukraine.

11:02So this is what we want to achieve for Russia to withdraw the troops and to allow Kisnau

11:10and to allow Moldova to administer properly the region and to provide the public services

11:18that people are requiring.

11:22The Russian energy company Gazprom's explanation to suspend deliveries is because Moldova is

11:27late with its payments.

11:30Kisnau disputes this and Brussels is watching the situation closely, as Moldova is a candidate

11:35to the European Union.
