00:00
Thousands of people across Slovakia protest against Prime Minister Robert Fico, accusing
00:07
him of being pro-Russia.
00:11
University students in Serbia lead a nationwide strike as protests against Aleksandar Vucic's
00:16
rule continue across the country.
00:21
Hamas reveals the names of the four hostages it says it will release on Saturday as part
00:26
of the ongoing Gaza ceasefire deal.
00:32
Preparations are underway at Auschwitz to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation
00:36
of the Nazi death camp.
00:42
Thousands of people have protested across Slovakia against the policies of Prime Minister
00:46
Robert Fico, who they accuse of being pro-Russia.
00:50
The latest wave of rallies was fuelled by Fico's recent trip to Moscow to meet Vladimir
00:55
Putin, a rare visit to the Kremlin by an EU leader since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
01:01
Fico's recent remarks that Slovakia could leave the European Union and NATO have also
01:06
sparked anger among protesters.
01:09
Earlier this week, Fico accused protest organisers of being in contact with unspecified foreign
01:15
forces who he says are working towards engineering a coup.
01:19
Fico linked those accusations to a report by the country's spy service that he presented
01:24
in Parliament on Tuesday.
01:26
The opposition dismissed that report and accused Fico of misusing the SIS for political purposes.
01:33
Protest organisers from the Peace for Ukraine group also slammed Fico's claims, saying he
01:37
is trying to frighten the Slovak population.
01:45
A woman has driven her car into a crowd of protesters in Belgrade as a student-led strike
01:50
shuttered businesses across the country.
01:52
Serbia has seen weeks of anti-government protests since 15 people were killed when
01:57
a concrete canopy collapsed at Novi Sad train station in November.
02:02
Protesters also accused President Aleksandar Vucic of being increasingly authoritarian
02:06
and curbing democratic freedoms.
02:09
Vucic held his own rally with thousands of his supporters meeting in the central town
02:13
of Jagodina.
02:14
Vucic blamed unspecified foreign forces for fuelling the protest movement and called for
02:19
a dialogue with the protest leaders.
02:23
Fifteen people were killed when a concrete canopy at Novi Sad train station collapsed
02:27
on the 1st of November.
02:29
Protesters blamed the disaster on sloppy construction work caused by government corruption.
02:34
Prosecutors filed charges against 13 people, but the former construction minister has since
02:39
been released, fuelling doubts over the probe's independence.
02:48
Hamas has revealed the names of the four hostages it says it will release on Saturday
02:52
as part of the ongoing Gaza ceasefire agreement with Israel.
02:56
The four hostages are all female soldiers and have been named as Karina Ariyev, Daniela
03:01
Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Alberg.
03:05
They're set to be freed in exchange for 180 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
03:10
Under the first phase of the ceasefire deal, a total of 33 hostages are expected to be
03:15
released over the course of six weeks.
03:18
In Gaza, the ceasefire has allowed Palestinians to attempt to return to their homes, most
03:23
of which have been completely destroyed by Israeli airstrikes.
03:29
Civilians in the south will be allowed to take a coastal road to northern Gaza from
03:33
Saturday where Israeli troops are expected to withdraw.
03:38
Since the start of the ceasefire, more humanitarian aid has also entered Gaza and thousands of
03:42
families have been able to receive full food rations.
03:51
Preparations are underway at Auschwitz to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation
03:55
of the Nazi extermination camp.
03:58
The commemoration ceremony will take place on the 27th of January and will be attended
04:03
by Holocaust survivors, international guests and Polish authorities.
04:07
Organisers say there will be no speeches by politicians and only survivors of the death
04:12
camp will speak.
04:22
The commemorations take place in Auschwitz, a town that was under German occupation during
04:27
World War II where the Nazis operated the most notorious of their death camps.
04:33
More than 1.1 million people were murdered at Auschwitz.
04:37
At least 3 million of Poland's 3.2 million Jews were murdered by the Nazis.
04:44
In total, nearly 6 million European Jews were killed during the Holocaust.
