00:00Ukrainian soldiers say more weapons are urgently needed on the Donetsk frontline as Russia

00:06appears to ready itself for more attacks.

00:11A new fast-growing wind-driven wildfire has broken out in mountains north of Los Angeles

00:16triggering more evacuations.

00:22Donald Trump sat down with Fox News' Sean Hannity to give his first interview as U.S.

00:27President.

00:31Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk says Europe must defend itself and encourages member states

00:36to boost military spending.

00:45Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the frontlines in Donetsk and the Donbass region say more

00:49weapons are urgently needed to fend off Russian aggression and territorial advances.

00:55They say the Kremlin is accumulating its forces, likely readying itself for further

00:59assaults and occupation of territory.

01:02The soldiers say they need more NATO standard howitzers with 155mm caliber shells.

01:09They argue those are highly effective on the battlefield and enable them to repel Russian

01:14advances and protect their positions at range.

01:19Meanwhile on the battleground, Russia continues to pummel Ukrainian cities on a daily basis.

01:25An attack on Mykolaiv injured at least two civilians, according to local officials.

01:30They say the drone strikes caused some damage to properties, resulting in a loss of power

01:34and heating to some homes in the cold months of winter.

01:38Another wave of drone attacks targeted the northern Ukrainian city of Sumy.

01:43At least three were injured as Iranian-made Shahed drones blasted the city, including

01:48a five-year-old child.

01:50More than 40 buildings, some of them residential, sustained damage, as well as a production

01:54facility.

01:59Evacuations have been ordered for remote communities near mountains north of Los Angeles after

02:04a new wildfire erupted.

02:06The huge fire, which authorities say is wind-driven, has quickly grown, burning through more than

02:1120 square kilometers of trees and brush in its first few hours.

02:16The fire also sent up massive plumes of dark smoke near the Lake Castaic area.

02:21Castaic is located just over 60 kilometers away from the Pacific Palisades neighborhood,

02:26which suffered the worst fire damage in Los Angeles.

02:30Some 14,000 structures were burnt to a crisp in the Palisades fire, which broke out on

02:35the 7th of January and continues to burn for its third week.

02:39The huge fire comes as parched Southern California prepares for possible rain this weekend.

02:46Experts say even a small amount of rain could create new challenges, like toxic runoff from

02:50burnt debris.

02:52Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has informed authorities to prepare the city for rain,

02:57to not add to the ongoing crisis, and mitigate environmental impacts.

03:02We are beginning in a proactive way, in anticipation of rain, to make sure that if rain does come,

03:10that it doesn't add further to the crisis that we've been in.

03:13There's a lot of hazardous materials, toxics, that could go into the ocean.

03:19We want to prevent that.

03:21In an executive order, Bass instructed authorities to remove vegetation, shore up hillsides,

03:27install barriers, and reinforce roads.

03:30The possible weekend rain brings the risk of floods, landslides, and mud and toxic debris flows.

03:39Donald Trump sat down with Fox News' Sean Hannity in his first interview as U.S. President.

03:44He spoke of his return to the White House, saying it took a lot of work, before proceeding

03:49to criticize his predecessor Joe Biden.

03:51I felt that we shouldn't have had to necessarily be here.

03:55Could have been done, a lot of work.

03:58It would have been over, we wouldn't have inflation, we wouldn't have had the Afghanistan disaster.

04:04We wouldn't have October 7th with Israel, where so many people were killed.

04:08You wouldn't have a Ukraine war going on.

04:12The newly sworn in president also said that he wants to reform the Federal Emergency Management

04:17Agency, as he accused them of quote, getting in the way of everything.

04:21Though he did not elaborate, Trump said there will be big discussions on FEMA soon.

04:25He is set to make his first trip as president on Friday, to survey damage from last year's

04:30hurricane in North Carolina, as well as the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.

04:39Europe was, is, and will be great again.

04:43This is how Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphatically opened his speech on Wednesday

04:48in the European Parliament.

04:51With remarks similar to those of U.S. President Donald Trump, he made a passionate plea for

04:56ramping up military spending to ensure the continent can defend itself against its adversaries

05:01without relying on the USA's security umbrella.

05:22Tusk said in order to avoid a tragic repetition of history, Europe must come up with flexible

05:27and creative ways of financing military expenditure.

05:31But this effort could involve the issuance of EU-wide debt.

05:36Poland is NATO's leader in defense spending, with a projected 4.7% of GDP for 2025.

05:43During his campaign, Trump said he would encourage Russia to quote, do whatever the hell they

05:47want to NATO countries that fail to spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense.

05:57French President Macron and German Chancellor Strauss met at the Elysee Palace in Paris

06:03to speak of the importance of European sovereignty and unity in response to the challenges posed

06:09by the new U.S. administration led by Donald Trump.

06:18Macron also called on France and Germany to take a stand against the U.S. and the U.S.

06:23administration.

06:24The U.S. administration has been a key player in the fight against the U.S.

06:29The U.S. administration has been a key player in the fight against the U.S.

06:33The U.S. administration has been a key player in the fight against the U.S.

06:36The U.S. administration has been a key player in the fight against the U.S.

06:39The U.S. administration has been a key player in the fight against the U.S.

06:43Macron also called on France and Germany to take a leading role in building a strong and

06:49united Europe capable of defending its interests whilst maintaining transatlantic ties.

06:55He also underlined that the Franco-German partnership remains essential for European

07:00strength and stability.

07:04One of Donald Trump's first actions as president has been to withdraw the United States from

07:09the Paris Climate Agreement.

07:11This is exactly what he did first time around in 2017, although Joe Biden reversed the

07:17decision four years later.

07:19The goal of the Paris Climate Agreement is to limit the global average temperature rise

07:23to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius.

07:26Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the EU's Environment Commissioner told

07:31Euronews that Trump's decision is regrettable, but also an opportunity.

07:35First and foremost, we will continue to engage with our American friends and partners

07:40across domains.

07:41In the domain of geopolitics, in the domain of trade, but also in the domain of climate

07:45action.

07:46But also, this will require more assertiveness, more diplomacy from Europe across the globe.

07:52And of course, when there is a vacuum, others will fill it.

07:56And that holds good for us, but I'm sure the Chinese, the Indians and others will play

08:02their part as well.

08:05Hoekstra added that the EU should not deviate from its path, which aims at significantly

08:10shifting away from Russian fossil fuel energy.

08:14So what we will do is a couple of things in the years to come.

08:17You know, we will continue to double down on renewables, on grid capacity, on battery

08:22capacity.

08:23That is one.

08:24Secondly, we're going to be very, very clear on making sure we enhance our autonomy and

08:31decrease our dependencies.

08:33The commissioner also recalled that China is currently responsible for 30% of global

08:38emissions, and is therefore paying close attention to Beijing's compliance with its commitments.

08:48As protests erupt against executive orders by Donald Trump to clamp down on the rights

08:53of immigrants in the US, Venezuela's president says the country is waiting for migrants to

08:58return home.

08:59Nicolas Maduro's comments come after Washington and the US Customs and Border Protection announced

09:04that the CBP One app would no longer be used to admit migrants into the country.

09:29Millions of Venezuelans were driven from the country during Maduro's decade-long rule

09:39after facing political unrest and economic decline.

09:43After Maduro was sworn in for a third term, the EU and US both denounced his inauguration

09:49as illegitimate amid allegations of fraudulent vote counting.

10:00Two people, including a two-year-old boy, were killed and two more were injured in a

10:05stabbing attack in Bavaria.

10:08Police said a suspect was detained in the knife attack, which occurred in a park in

10:12the southern German town of Aschaffenburg.

10:16Train services in the town were temporarily interrupted as the suspect tried to flee from

10:21police along the tracks.

10:24It is unclear if and whether the suspect knew the victims is being investigated by the police.

10:55I think you can recognize him.

11:01The style and the passion.

11:05I think yes.

11:06I think Italian men dress quite sophisticated and very nice.

11:09Compared to the modern fashion of just jeans and a sweater, I think they put a little bit

11:14more effort into it and you can stand out a lot more than the typical regular man.

11:18A double-breasted jacket.

11:20Well-dressed.

11:22I think that's how you recognize an Italian man.

11:25And a cigarette in his hand, maybe.

11:27I think the hand gestures.

11:29The way how Italians talk.

11:32And the elegance with it.

11:34I'm not going to lie, I have no idea.

11:37I'm not going to be able to tell somebody apart.

11:39I can see five different people that can be from five different places.

11:41I'll have no idea.
