00:00Belgium is shaken by the third metro shooting in 24 hours. One person is injured and two

00:04suspects are on the run. Public prosecutor believes that drug cartels are involved.

00:11Police continue probe into Sweden's worst mass shooting amid mystery about the 35-year-old

00:18suspect.

00:20French Prime Minister François Beyrouth survived his third no confidence vote in less than

00:25one month.

00:28US top diplomat Marco Rubio walks back the Trump idea of a permanent relocation of Palestinians

00:38from Gaza.

00:44Another shooting has shaken Brussels, with gunfire reported near Clemenceau station in

00:48Anderlecht early Thursday morning, injuring one person.

00:53This comes just 24 hours after a similar incident at the same station, where armed youths fired

00:58at passers-by.

00:59Three incidents in total with the shooting in Saint-Georges station.

01:05Brussels' new public prosecutor, Julien Moisil, has vowed a zero-tolerance approach to drug

01:10trafficking and increased police crackdowns.

01:15Talking to the Belgian public broadcaster, Moisil said they have two suspects who are

01:19believed to be on the run at the moment, but also admitted that they don't know who

01:23they are actually dealing with.

01:25However, when asked by the journalist if these events are linked to drug trafficking, he

01:30replied with certainty, pointing out the location of the shootings.

01:35Moisil believes these are reprisals to conquer certain territories.

01:43Swedish police say they were still investigating the motive behind the country's deadliest

01:48mass shooting that claimed 11 lives on Tuesday.

01:52According to local media, the shooting at an education center in Örebro was carried

01:56out by a 35-year-old man who had been unemployed for a decade.

02:01Footage shows students hiding in a classroom as the mass shooting unfolded.

02:06Police said the suspects who died at the scene was not known to them prior to the event.

02:11He has a gun license for four guns, and all of these four guns are confiscated.

02:18Three of the guns were found next to him in connection with police securing him in the

02:25building.

02:28Our assessment, based on the investigation and the collection work that has been done,

02:33is that he acted alone in this crime.

02:38Meanwhile, Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf and his wife attended a church service on

02:47Wednesday in Örebro in commemoration of the victims.

02:51People lit candles at the site of the incident, which left at least 11 people dead, including

02:56the gunman and at least five other persons seriously wounded.

03:01The school where the attack took place teaches adults to drop out, seeking higher grades

03:06to access higher education or to complete their formal studies.

03:14French Prime Minister François Bayrou survived two no-confidence votes on Wednesday evening

03:19and ensured the adoption of the country's long-overdue state budget plan.

03:24The vote came after Bayrou used a controversial constitutional tool to force the contentious

03:29budget plan through Parliament on Monday.

03:32The two no-confidence motions on Wednesday were tabled by the hard-left France Unbowed

03:37Party but did not garner enough votes to bring down the government.

03:41That's because the far-right, as well as the Socialist Party, the official allies of the

03:47France Unbowed, decided to abstain from voting, provoking anger and an implied exclusion of

03:55the centre-left party from the left-wing coalition.

04:02But the leader of the Socialists defended his party's decision.

04:32Although the unsuccessful no-confidence motions give Bayrou's minority government some breathing

05:01room, the coming months will likely be turbulent.

05:04The Socialist Party announced on Wednesday they will be tabling a no-confidence vote

05:10on February 19th.

05:20U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday walked back the Trump plan to permanently

05:25relocate Palestinians from Gaza after American allies rebuffed the suggestion.

05:31Trump on Tuesday, in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said the

05:36U.S. could take ownership of Gaza.

06:06Meanwhile, U.N. agencies have also rebuked the proposal, saying any forcible transfer

06:24or deportation of Palestinians from Gaza would violate international law.

06:29On Wednesday, a Palestinian envoy to the U.N. warned that Gaza was an integral part of the

06:34State of Palestine.

06:36Around 2.1 million Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip, where they have been forced into

06:41displacement several times since Israel's war on Hamas began in October 2023.

06:51Three weeks into the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, over half a million Palestinians

06:56were finally able to return to their homes in northern Gaza.

07:0022-year-old Mohamed, like many others, made the long journey north on foot with his family

07:06after 15 months of displacement.

07:09Despite limited access to internet and electricity, Euridu spoke to Mohamed about how his life

07:14has changed since he returned home just one week ago.

07:44But once they arrived, the home that took Mohamed's family almost his whole life to

07:55obtain was in ruins.

08:22Mohamed explains that his family was displaced four times since the start of the war, living

08:27in makeshift tents with little protection from the cold and rain.

08:31They returned home to have a roof over their heads, but now they fear it may collapse on

08:35them at any moment.

08:38Accessing food, water and healthcare has become even more difficult since his return, despite

08:43the increase in humanitarian aid coming into Gaza.

09:14Although humanitarian organizations have increased their presence in the north, the complete

09:19absence of infrastructure means some areas remain impossible to reach.

09:24This has meant that thousands of people like Mohamed and his family still have little access

09:28to essential items.

09:31Despite the dire conditions, Mohamed, like many other Palestinians, said he has no intention

09:36of leaving his home.

10:07Austria is re-evaluating the status of Syrian refugees who have arrived for less than five

10:11years and has also announced a deportation program.

10:14The rights of Syrian refugees and asylum seekers are at risk today, in a Europe in which the

10:22far right continues to grow, prospecting increasingly stringent rules against immigration.

10:28And the European Union can intervene on how member states manage war refugees, we see

10:34in European stories.

11:04The last population of 23 million people has been forced to flee.

11:07More than 7 million remain stranded in Syria.

11:11Almost 5 million are refugees in the bordering countries, mainly Turkey.

11:16In Europe, there are more than 1 million Syrian refugees and asylum seekers.

11:21Most of them live in Germany, Austria and Sweden.

11:24For 12 years, Syria has been the first country of origin of asylum seekers in the Union.

11:30In 2023, asylum requests increased by 17%.

11:34Today, the restrictions on asylum procedures put more than 100,000 requests at risk.
