00:00Putin says Russia is ready to start peace talks, but claims Ukraine has no desire to

00:07engage.

00:10Denmark will boost its military presence in the Arctic by billions as US President Trump

00:15repeatedly plans to take control of Greenland.

00:24Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Russia is ready to engage in peace talks with

00:28Ukraine, but claims there is no desire on the Ukrainian side to negotiate.

00:35Speaking to Russian reporters on Tuesday, Putin also said Ukrainian President Volodymyr

00:41Zelensky is not legitimate to lead the talks.

00:44Speaking to Russian reporter on Tuesday, Putin also said Ukraine is not legitimate to

00:51negotiate.

00:52Speaking to Russian reporter on Tuesday, Putin also said Ukraine is not legitimate to negotiate.

01:01Speaking to Russian reporter on Tuesday, Putin also said Ukraine is not legitimate to negotiate.

01:08Putin has previously said Ukraine must renounce its NATO bid and fully withdraw its forces

01:20from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson, the regions Russia annexed in September 2022.

01:29Moscow also wants the West to lift its sanctions that have limited Russia's access to global

01:34markets and dealt a heavy blow to the country's economy.

01:39Zelensky has responded by emphasizing the need for a comprehensive agreement, not a

01:44temporary halt in fighting that would only allow Russia to rearm.

01:53Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević resigned following weeks of massive anti-corruption

01:58protests over a deadly arnok collapse that killed 15 people.

02:03The canopy collapse became a flashpoint reflecting wider discontentment with the rule of Serbia's

02:08President Aleksandar Vučević.

02:11Vučević's resignation came after Vučević said an urgent reconstruction of the government

02:17was in the works, in response to the demands posed by Serbia's striking university students.

02:23Dear colleagues, journalists, good afternoon and welcome.

02:26The President of the Republic and I spoke on the phone with the Mayor of Novi Sad, Mr. Đurić.

02:36Milan will also resign from the position of the Mayor of Novi Sad today, to show part

02:42of his responsibility.

02:45We have fulfilled the most political demands of the most extreme.

02:55Scuffles and fistfights broke out in Serbia's parliament between the ruling party and opposition MPs.

03:05Tens of thousands of Serbs joined striking university students in a 24-hour blockade

03:10of a key traffic intersection in the capital of Belgrade, which ended on Tuesday.

03:16This is only the first step.

03:19Strong political turmoil and changes are yet to come in Serbia.

03:23If President Aleksandar Vučević thinks that by replacing an unimportant figure,

03:29regardless of his important position, he can solve the problem in Serbia,

03:32he can stay in power and he is wrong.

03:35This must lead to total political change,

03:38autocracy and dictatorship in Serbia, in the heart of Europe must stop.

03:43As students of the Faculty of Philosophy, we do not have a special reaction,

03:47we just want to say that this is not in our demands.

03:50We do not want to leave, we do not want to change the government,

03:53we just want to fulfill our demands.

03:56The students have been protesting for weeks, demanding accountability for the canopy collapse

04:01that critics have blamed on rampant government corruption.

04:08Georgia reacted angrily to the suspension of a mutual visa-free travel agreement

04:13by the European Union.

04:15This may lead to Georgian diplomats and officials having to apply for visas

04:19when travelling to an EU member state.

04:23Speaking to Euronews after the suspension's announcement,

04:26Georgian Foreign Minister Mako Bočurishvili called the decision politically wrong.

04:31Legally it is absolutely groundless and nonsense.

04:35There is no proof or explanation how Georgian diplomats are creating threats

04:40or threatening public order in European Union or EU member states.

04:46And I do think that it is absolutely against European values

04:50or something that we refer to very often.

04:54And that is very unfortunate.

04:56The decision by the European Council came after mass protests in the country

05:00following elections critics claim were rigged.

05:03Controversial laws were also passed last year by the Georgian Parliament

05:07that undermine basic democratic rights, according to Brussels.

05:12Bočurishvili rejected this notion,

05:14stressing Georgia's willingness to pursue its path to EU membership.

05:19When we applied for EU membership,

05:21for a long time Georgia has been a very dedicated partner for the European Union.

05:26And that is not just empty words.

05:29Because Georgia is there with its intention to be part of the European Union

05:32and we are very serious about that.

05:35Following a decision of the Georgian government in November of 2024,

05:39the opening of negotiations with the European Union about membership

05:42is suspended until 2028.

05:48Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney is under investigation in Rome

05:52for repatriating a Libyan warlord wanted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

05:59In a video posted on social media,

06:02Maloney herself revealed prosecutors have accused her

06:05of allegedly aiding and abetting Osama Anjiem,

06:08also known as Osama al-Masri.

06:11The Italian Premier denies the allegations,

06:14saying al-Masri was released by the Rome Appeals Court

06:17because the ICC had not sent his warrant to the Italian Justice Ministry.

06:22The International Criminal Court, after months of reflection,

06:26has issued an international arrest warrant

06:28against the head of the Judicial Police of Tripoli.

06:31Curiously, the court does so just when this person

06:34was about to enter Italian territory

06:37after he had serenely stayed for about 12 days

06:40in three other European states.

06:44The ICC warrant accuses al-Masri of war crimes

06:47and crimes against humanity committed in Mitiga prison,

06:50starting in 2015, that are punishable with life in prison.

06:56His repatriation to Libya, a key partner in Europe's efforts

06:59to keep migrants from crossing the Mediterranean

07:02and landing on its shores,

07:03sparked outrage from human rights groups

07:05and questions from Italy's opposition parties.

07:13An Italian navy ship arrived on Tuesday

07:16at the Albanian port of Shengjin,

07:18with 49 migrants intercepted in international waters.

07:22Their asylum applications are to be vetted

07:25by special centres there.

07:26It is the third such attempt,

07:28following hurdles earlier raised by Italian courts.

07:31Italian judges had refused to approve the detention

07:34of two small groups at the Albanian centres,

07:37saying their countries of origin

07:38weren't safe enough for them to be sent back.

07:41Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni's government

07:44has vowed to reactivate the two centres in Albania

07:47after they remain dormant

07:48following the Italian court's decisions.

07:55Denmark has agreed to dedicate almost 2 billion euros

07:58to boosting its military presence in the Arctic region,

08:01with parties including the governments of Greenland

08:04and the Faroe Islands.

08:06The announcement came after US President Donald Trump

08:09repeatedly demanded to take control of Greenland,

08:12refusing to rule out the use of military force.

08:15Denmark's Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen,

08:18embarked on a tour of Berlin, Paris and Brussels on Tuesday

08:21to discuss further European cooperation.

08:24We need to step up in Europe.

08:27We need a stronger and more resolute Europe

08:30standing increasingly in its own right,

08:33capable of defending and promoting Europe

08:36and the European interests.

08:39It is up to Europe to define the future of our continent.

08:43And I think we have to take more responsibility

08:46for our own security,

08:49strengthening our own security,

08:52strengthening our defence industry.

08:56Frederiksen met with Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz

08:59and French President Emmanuel Macron,

09:01ending her tour with a meeting with NATO Secretary-General

09:04Mark Rutte in Brussels.

09:06She didn't directly mention Trump's threats,

09:09but referred to Europe's interest across the Atlantic,

09:12as well as Russian aggression in Ukraine.

09:17Coca-Cola has recalled several of its soft drinks in Europe

09:21after higher-than-normal levels of chemical called chlorate

09:24were detected at a production plant in Belgium.

09:28Affected products include Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite,

09:31Minute Maid and Fusti, with specific batches

09:34pulled from shelves in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

09:38You can find the codes on the label,

09:41as well as on the neck of the bottle.

09:44And the codes are at the bottom of the bottle.

09:47But the letters are also important, because the GE stands for Ghent.

09:50The company says a smaller number of products

09:53were also shipped to France, Germany and Great Britain,

09:56but no recalls have been issued in those countries.

09:59Health authorities across Europe have been alerted

10:02with the EU designating the risk as serious.

10:05Chlorate, a by-product of chlorine disinfectants

10:08used in water treatment, has been linked to potential health issues,

10:11particularly affecting thyroid function in children.

10:14Coca-Cola has advised customers not to consume the affected batches

10:17for a refund. Experts, however, say the risk of harm is low,

10:20as significant quantities would need to be consumed

10:23to cause health problems.

10:39The company has apologised to consumers and commercial partners.

10:43Come forth, as wicked as you,

10:46as e'er my mother brushed

10:49with raven's feather from unwholesome fen.

10:52I will not stand in your way, ladies and gentlemen.

10:55Sorry.

10:58Bonjour, ladies and gentlemen.

11:28I'll be back.

11:39I'll be back.

11:42Sorry I'm late.
