00:00
Belgium is shaken by the third metro shooting in 24 hours. One person is injured and two
00:04
suspects are on the run. Public prosecutor believes that drug cartels are involved.
00:11
Police continue probe into Sweden's worst mass shooting amid mystery about the 35-year-old
00:18
suspect.
00:20
French Prime Minister FranΓ§ois Beyrouth survived his third no confidence vote in less than
00:25
one month.
00:28
US top diplomat Marco Rubio walks back the Trump idea of a permanent relocation of Palestinians
00:38
from Gaza.
00:44
Another shooting has shaken Brussels, with gunfire reported near Clemenceau station in
00:48
Anderlecht early Thursday morning, injuring one person.
00:53
This comes just 24 hours after a similar incident at the same station, where armed youths fired
00:58
at passers-by.
00:59
Three incidents in total with the shooting in Saint-Georges station.
01:05
Brussels' new public prosecutor, Julien Moisil, has vowed a zero-tolerance approach to drug
01:10
trafficking and increased police crackdowns.
01:15
Talking to the Belgian public broadcaster, Moisil said they have two suspects who are
01:19
believed to be on the run at the moment, but also admitted that they don't know who
01:23
they are actually dealing with.
01:25
However, when asked by the journalist if these events are linked to drug trafficking, he
01:30
replied with certainty, pointing out the location of the shootings.
01:35
Moisil believes these are reprisals to conquer certain territories.
01:43
Swedish police say they were still investigating the motive behind the country's deadliest
01:48
mass shooting that claimed 11 lives on Tuesday.
01:52
According to local media, the shooting at an education center in Γrebro was carried
01:56
out by a 35-year-old man who had been unemployed for a decade.
02:01
Footage shows students hiding in a classroom as the mass shooting unfolded.
02:06
Police said the suspects who died at the scene was not known to them prior to the event.
02:11
He has a gun license for four guns, and all of these four guns are confiscated.
02:18
Three of the guns were found next to him in connection with police securing him in the
02:25
building.
02:28
Our assessment, based on the investigation and the collection work that has been done,
02:33
is that he acted alone in this crime.
02:38
Meanwhile, Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf and his wife attended a church service on
02:47
Wednesday in Γrebro in commemoration of the victims.
02:51
People lit candles at the site of the incident, which left at least 11 people dead, including
02:56
the gunman and at least five other persons seriously wounded.
03:01
The school where the attack took place teaches adults to drop out, seeking higher grades
03:06
to access higher education or to complete their formal studies.
03:14
French Prime Minister FranΓ§ois Bayrou survived two no-confidence votes on Wednesday evening
03:19
and ensured the adoption of the country's long-overdue state budget plan.
03:24
The vote came after Bayrou used a controversial constitutional tool to force the contentious
03:29
budget plan through Parliament on Monday.
03:32
The two no-confidence motions on Wednesday were tabled by the hard-left France Unbowed
03:37
Party but did not garner enough votes to bring down the government.
03:41
That's because the far-right, as well as the Socialist Party, the official allies of the
03:47
France Unbowed, decided to abstain from voting, provoking anger and an implied exclusion of
03:55
the centre-left party from the left-wing coalition.
04:02
But the leader of the Socialists defended his party's decision.
04:32
Although the unsuccessful no-confidence motions give Bayrou's minority government some breathing
05:01
room, the coming months will likely be turbulent.
05:04
The Socialist Party announced on Wednesday they will be tabling a no-confidence vote
05:10
on February 19th.
05:20
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday walked back the Trump plan to permanently
05:25
relocate Palestinians from Gaza after American allies rebuffed the suggestion.
05:31
Trump on Tuesday, in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said the
05:36
U.S. could take ownership of Gaza.
06:06
Meanwhile, U.N. agencies have also rebuked the proposal, saying any forcible transfer
06:24
or deportation of Palestinians from Gaza would violate international law.
06:29
On Wednesday, a Palestinian envoy to the U.N. warned that Gaza was an integral part of the
06:34
State of Palestine.
06:36
Around 2.1 million Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip, where they have been forced into
06:41
displacement several times since Israel's war on Hamas began in October 2023.
06:51
Three weeks into the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, over half a million Palestinians
06:56
were finally able to return to their homes in northern Gaza.
07:00
22-year-old Mohamed, like many others, made the long journey north on foot with his family
07:06
after 15 months of displacement.
07:09
Despite limited access to internet and electricity, Euridu spoke to Mohamed about how his life
07:14
has changed since he returned home just one week ago.
07:44
But once they arrived, the home that took Mohamed's family almost his whole life to
07:55
obtain was in ruins.
08:22
Mohamed explains that his family was displaced four times since the start of the war, living
08:27
in makeshift tents with little protection from the cold and rain.
08:31
They returned home to have a roof over their heads, but now they fear it may collapse on
08:35
them at any moment.
08:38
Accessing food, water and healthcare has become even more difficult since his return, despite
08:43
the increase in humanitarian aid coming into Gaza.
09:14
Although humanitarian organizations have increased their presence in the north, the complete
09:19
absence of infrastructure means some areas remain impossible to reach.
09:24
This has meant that thousands of people like Mohamed and his family still have little access
09:28
to essential items.
09:31
Despite the dire conditions, Mohamed, like many other Palestinians, said he has no intention
09:36
of leaving his home.
10:07
Austria is re-evaluating the status of Syrian refugees who have arrived for less than five
10:11
years and has also announced a deportation program.
10:14
The rights of Syrian refugees and asylum seekers are at risk today, in a Europe in which the
10:22
far right continues to grow, prospecting increasingly stringent rules against immigration.
10:28
And the European Union can intervene on how member states manage war refugees, we see
10:34
in European stories.
11:04
The last population of 23 million people has been forced to flee.
11:07
More than 7 million remain stranded in Syria.
11:11
Almost 5 million are refugees in the bordering countries, mainly Turkey.
11:16
In Europe, there are more than 1 million Syrian refugees and asylum seekers.
11:21
Most of them live in Germany, Austria and Sweden.
11:24
For 12 years, Syria has been the first country of origin of asylum seekers in the Union.
11:30
In 2023, asylum requests increased by 17%.
11:34
Today, the restrictions on asylum procedures put more than 100,000 requests at risk.
