00:00Poland's Prime Minister said Netanyahu would not be arrested when attending an Auschwitz

00:05event despite facing an ICC arrest warrant.

00:10Alexander Schellenberg, Austria's foreign minister, has been sworn in as interim chancellor

00:16following Carl Niehammer's resignation.

00:25Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk assured that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

00:30would not be arrested if he attends the Auschwitz commemoration later this month.

00:36The decision comes after Polish President Andrzej Duda asked Tusk to ensure Netanyahu's

00:41protection, who faces an arrest warrant issued by the world's top criminal court.

01:11Polish President Andrzej Duda asked Tusk to ensure Netanyahu's protection, who faces

01:16an arrest warrant issued by the world's top criminal court.

01:20Last year in November, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant

01:25for Netanyahu for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in connection with the war

01:30in Gaza.

01:31Member countries of the ICC, which includes Poland, are required to detain suspects facing

01:37a warrant if they set foot on their soil.

01:39However, the court has no way of enforcing that.

01:43It is still unsure whether Netanyahu will attend the event or not.

01:51Alexander Schellenberg, Austria's foreign minister, was sworn in as interim chancellor

01:57on Friday while the country works to form a new government.

02:03Schellenberg, 55, is stepping in after Conservative Chancellor Karl Nehammer, part of the Austrian

02:10People's Party, announced his resignation last weekend.

02:15Nehammer decided to step down after failing to form a coalition without including the

02:21far-right Freedom Party.

02:23But following Nehammer's resignation, his Austrian People's Party reversed its stance

02:29and is now open to working with the far-right Freedom Party, led by Herbert Kickl.

02:36The interim leader of the People's Party, Christian Stocker, said he will meet with

02:41Kickl.

02:42This will be Schellenberg's second brief term as Austria's leader.

02:51Maritime authorities in Estonia say they have stepped up patrols in the Baltic Sea in a

02:56show of force after last month's suspected capo sabotage.

03:00At least three Estonian Navy ships are part of the patrols by NATO countries following

03:05the damage done to the S-Link 2 power cable and communication links between Finland and

03:11Estonia on December 25.

03:14Suspicion immediately fell on Russia, although nothing has been proven and the Kremlin denied

03:20involvement.

03:22According to the crew of the Estonian mine hunter EML Sakala, officials were keeping

03:28a careful eye using binoculars and cameras on any vessels slowing down suspiciously or

03:35suddenly changing course.

03:37While European authorities have acted more decisively in recent months to hold ships

03:42suspected of sabotage, officials have stopped short of accusing Moscow without proof.

03:52The late U.S. President Jimmy Carter was given a state funeral at the Washington National

03:57Cathedral in the U.S. Capitol.

03:59Multiple foreign dignitaries were present at the final honoring of the 39th president

04:04including Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.N. Secretary General António

04:09Guterres.

04:12Current and former presidents were also in attendance, including President-elect Donald

04:17Trump.

04:18The incoming U.S. president was seated in the second row alongside Bill Clinton and

04:22his wife Hillary, George W. Bush and his wife, and Barack Obama.

04:28Obama and Trump shared a rare moment as the pair talked, joked and laughed together for

04:33several minutes before the start of the service.

04:37U.S. President Joe Biden, who's set to leave office in less than two weeks, delivered the

04:42eulogy.

04:44Biden shared an emotional message highlighting the deep friendship he and Carter shared for

04:48almost six decades.

04:50The U.S. president praised Carter for his character and unwavering principles and celebrated

04:55his accomplishments, which he says were heavily discounted.

04:59Many think he was from a bygone era, but in reality he saw well into the future.

05:09A white Southern Baptist who led on civil rights, a decorated Navy veteran who brokered

05:19peace, a brilliant nuclear engineer who led on nuclear nonproliferation, a hardworking

05:28farmer who championed conservation and clean energy, and a president who redefined the

05:37relationship with a vice president.

05:43Biden ended the message on a personal note, sharing that he misses Carter, but takes solace

05:48in knowing that he'll be reunited with his wife of 77 years, Rosalyn.

05:53Jimmy Carter's casket was once again loaded on a plane headed to his hometown of Plains,

05:57Georgia.

05:59The late president, who died aged 100 on the 29th of December, will be given a private

06:03funeral with friends and family.

06:06He'll then be buried beside his wife in the small town they were born, grew up, lived

06:11most of their lives, and died.

06:17At least 10 people are believed to be dead as wildfires continue to rage in Los Angeles.

06:23The city has been battling five concurrent fires, two of them classified major, that

06:28have caused extensive damage to the iconic city.

06:31And officials confirmed that a sixth fire, named Kenneth, has broken out.

06:37We are now actively engaged in a new brush fire.

06:40We're calling it the Kenneth Fire, in the West Hills area of Los Angeles, on the border

06:45of Ventura County.

06:47This fire was over 50 acres upon arrival, with the potential for rapid growth.

06:54Authorities say the two biggest fires, the Palisades and Eaton, have destroyed more than

06:5810,000 structures combined.

07:01Homes, buildings, grocery stores, banks, schools, and places of worship were burnt

07:05to a crisp in what U.S. President Joe Biden called the worst fires to ever hit the city.

07:12Many areas across L.A. are covered in thick clouds of smoke and ash, further devastating

07:17Angelenos.

07:19I've woken up with burning eyes and a sore throat, coughing.

07:24I've had friends talk about getting nosebleeds.

07:27It's just awful.

07:28I'm sleeping in a mask.

07:31And the problem is not one that will likely fade soon.

07:35The amount of smog and toxins in the air, it's like, you know, even though our house

07:41is spared, obviously we're probably not going to be able to move back in for months.

07:49Officials say the Palisades and Eaton fires alone have burnt through close to 30,000 acres

07:53of land.

07:55The other four fires that are still ablaze are responsible for even more damage.

08:00Analysts say it can take months or even years to rebuild to pre-fire levels.

08:05And though the government has not yet released figures on how much the damages are estimated

08:09at, private companies believe costs are in the $135 to $150 billion region.

08:20Scientists say the world must find rapid solutions as global temperatures are now teetering on

08:27the edge of passing the crucial 1.5 degrees Celsius warming limit.

08:32According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, 2024 was the warmest year on record

08:38and the first calendar year where the global temperature exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above

08:45pre-industrial levels.

08:47The limit set by the Paris Agreement refers to temperature anomalies averaged over at

08:52least 20 years.

08:53Though this has not been broken, experts warn that data, however, underscores that

08:58global temperatures are now rising beyond what modern humans have ever experienced before.

09:05Last year brought many deadly extreme weather events around the world from severe storms

09:10to flooding, drought, heat waves and wildfires.

09:14A 2018 United Nations study found that keeping Earth's temperature rise could save and prevent

09:21many people's death and suffering.

09:27Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani visited Syria for the first time since the fall of

09:32Bashar al-Assad and met with the head of government, Ahmad al-Shara, also known as Abu Muhammad

09:38al-Julani.

09:40The meeting on Friday in Damascus comes as Syria tries to chart a new path after a coalition

09:46of armed opposition groups drove Assad from power and into asylum in early December.

09:53Tajani held discussions with the head of the Syrian government and Foreign Minister Assad

09:58al-Shibani in the capital.

10:01The Italian Foreign Minister said Rome was aiming to encourage a new phase in the way

10:06of creating stability in Syria and the region.

10:10Tajani also walked around Damascus and paid a visit to the city's main mosque.

10:16Last year, Rome made the decision to start a rapprochement with Syria and reopen its

10:21embassy in Damascus 12 years after the last ambassador's departure.

10:33Venezuela's opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, was arrested after leading a rally

10:38in the capital, Caracas.

10:40Her aides say she was violently intercepted by President Nicolás Maduro's forces as she

10:45left the rally on a motorcycle convoy with her security team.

10:49She was later released and in a post on social media platform X informed supporters that

10:54she's in a safe place.

10:56Machado had called on supporters to take to the streets on Thursday, a day before Maduro

11:00is sworn in for a third term.

11:03The opposition leader has organized regular protests since elections on the 28th of July,

11:08which they say was rigged.

11:10The opposition had routinely stated that they've provided credible evidence that was verified

11:15by international observers, which indicated their win.

11:19Their findings estimated that the opposition candidate Edmundo González crushed Maduro

11:23by a 2-to-1 margin.

11:26Machado had been in hiding for months as the Maduro regime intensified its crackdown on

11:30dissent.

11:32Machado and González say they will continue to protest against this injustice until the

11:36will of the Venezuelan people is delivered.
