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

00:05event despite facing an ICC arrest warrant.

00:10Scientists ponder new solutions on the climate crisis after 2024 was declared the hottest

00:17year on record.

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.

00:47Polish President Andrzej Duda asked Tusk to ensure Netanyahu's protection, who faces

00:52an arrest warrant issued by the world's top criminal court.

01:17Last year, in November, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest

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

01:30with the war in Gaza.

01:32Member 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.

01:50Scientists say the world must find rapid solutions as global temperatures are now teetering on

01:56the edge of passing the crucial 1.5 degrees Celsius warming limit.

02:01According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, 2024 was the warmest year on record

02:08and the first calendar year where the global temperature exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above

02:14pre-industrial levels.

02:16The limit set by the Paris Agreement refers to temperature anomalies averaged over at

02:21least 20 years.

02:23Though this has not been broken, experts warn that data, however, underscores that global

02:29temperatures are now rising beyond what modern humans have ever experienced before.

02:35Last year brought many deadly extreme weather events around the world from severe storms

02:40to flooding, drought, heat waves and wildfires.

02:44A 2018 United Nations study found that keeping Earth's temperature rise could save and prevent

02:51many people's death and suffering.

02:56Following billionaire Elon Musk and AFD co-leader Alice Rydell's conversation on X on Thursday

03:01evening, concerns are mounting over the threat to democracy.

03:06With the German election just six weeks away, NGOs are sounding the alarm about the influence

03:11of the super-rich.

03:12NGO Lobby Control questions if the talk on X and post-boosts count as party donations.

03:31Organisations are concerned about the threat to democracy.

04:02Lobby Control urges Germany to introduce a cap on political donations as quickly as possible.

04:24But is it too late for these upcoming German elections?

04:32The EU has been closely following the decisions taken by the big tech in recent weeks.

04:42Ex-CEO Elon Musk's claims are already causing a stir in Europe.

04:47Content moderation changes announced by Meta in the US also raise questions among the EU.

04:56Mark Zuckerberg has announced the replacement of fact-checking with community notes on its

05:00Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram platforms in the name of freedom of expression, as he says.

05:06But do these changes infringe EU regulations?

05:11Meta might have to first provide a risk assessment analysis to the European Commission.

05:17We don't say which content moderation policies very large online platforms have to put in place.

05:22It's their responsibility.

05:24If they want to rely fully on community notes, it is a possibility.

05:30Now, this possibility, whatever model a platform chooses, needs to be effective.

05:35And this is what we are looking at.

05:38If a platform violates the Digital Services Act, formal proceedings are initiated.

05:43If the decision is found to be non-compliant and the platform doesn't commit to settle the case,

05:48fines can reach up to 6% of the company's global annual turnover.

05:54This procedure is criticised for its slowness.

05:56However, the EU has other cards in hand.

06:00There are other instruments that might come into play in extreme cases, I emphasise extreme.

06:09Consider, for example, the measures that were taken to block Russia Today and Sputnik

06:14at the time of the sanctions on Russia, at the time of Russia's barbaric invasion of Ukraine.

06:19That was done as part of a sanctions regime implemented through the Council

06:24acting in its foreign policy configuration.

06:27And that can happen almost overnight.

06:31The very large digital platforms, the European Commission and the German regulator

06:35will also meet around the table on the 24th of January to discuss the European regulations

06:40before the early elections in Germany in February.

06:43The late US President Jimmy Carter was given a state funeral

06:46at the Washington National Cathedral in the US capital.

06:50Multiple foreign dignitaries were present at the final honouring of the 39th President

06:54including Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

06:57and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

07:01The US President was also present at the final honouring of the 39th President

07:05including Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

07:08and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

07:11Current and former Presidents were also in attendance

07:14including President-elect Donald Trump.

07:18The incoming US President was seated in the second row

07:21alongside Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, George W. Bush and his wife, and Barack Obama.

07:28Obama and Trump shared a rare moment as the pair talked, joked and laughed together

07:32for several minutes before the start of the service.

07:36US President Joe Biden, who's set to leave office in less than two weeks,

07:39delivered the eulogy.

07:42Biden shared an emotional message highlighting the deep friendship

07:45he and Carter shared for almost six decades.

07:49The US President praised Carter for his character and unwavering principles

07:53and celebrated his accomplishments, which he says were heavily discounted.

07:58Many think he was from a bygone era

08:01but in reality he saw a well into the future.

08:06A white Southern Baptist who led on civil rights,

08:12a decorated Navy veteran who brokered peace,

08:17a brilliant nuclear engineer who led on nuclear non-proliferation,

08:23and a brilliant American who led on peace.

08:26An engineer who led on nuclear non-proliferation,

08:31a hardworking farmer who championed conservation and clean energy,

08:38and a president who redefined the relationship with a vice president.

08:47Biden ended the message on a personal note sharing that he misses Carter

08:51but takes solace in knowing that he'll be reunited with his wife of 77 years, Rosalyn.

08:57Jimmy Carter's casket was once again loaded on a plane

09:00headed to his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

09:03The late president, who died aged 100 on the 29th of December,

09:06will be given a private funeral with friends and family.

09:10He'll then be buried beside his wife in the small town they were born,

09:13grew up, lived most of their lives, and died.

09:21The American Civil War

09:24The American Civil War

09:27The American Civil War

09:30The American Civil War

09:33The American Civil War

09:36The American Civil War

09:39The American Civil War

09:42This is a feature movie based on a true story about a real man,

09:47a citizen of Kazakhstan, Konstantin Vudovskas,

09:50who saved more than 200 people from Butch and other occupied territories

09:56in the spring of 2022.

09:59And we try to show what happened in that time.

10:03All Ukrainian characters in this movie, their stories are real.

10:08I, as a screenwriter, met with them,

10:11they told me their stories,

10:14and we tried to show what happened in Ukraine.

10:18Is it fair to say that that was the hardest job that you have done?

10:24Yes, I was a comedy writer before this job.

10:30I have been working with Volodymyr Zelensky for 15 years,

10:33when he was still an actor.

10:35I wrote some comedy movies.

10:38But when they were started, I was a volunteer,

10:41but I wanted to do what I can do the best, shooting.

10:44And when I heard from the news story,

10:46I understood that this story will resonate with every person in the world,

10:51because it's very interesting.

10:53When Ukrainians save Ukrainians, it's understandable.

10:56But when a citizen of Kazakhstan, he's a Lithuanian Jew

11:00who can go to another country, decided to stay in Ukraine

11:04to save Ukrainians or to risk his life,

11:08it's a powerful message that nobody can stand aside

11:13when such evil things happen.

11:14I think it's a very nice product,

11:20which we can show worldwide,

11:23and Ukrainian cinema should be proud of such type of movies.

11:29This is a film about human beings, about the human choice.

11:33It's something which you cannot ignore,

11:36because if you have at least a little bit of humanity in your heart,

11:41it will touch you.
