00:00Western allies have lifted all restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons, according to German Chancellor Murs.
00:10Four porn sites are the subject of a new investigation by the European Commission concerning child protection.
00:20Hundreds of farmers descended to the Parliament building in Paris to support a controversial agricultural bill that has divided French lawmakers.
00:30Western allies have lifted all restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons, according to German Chancellor Murs on Monday.
00:41Murs told media restrictions have been lifted on weapons supplied by Germany, the UK, France and the US.
00:49He stated that Ukraine can now defend itself, for example, by attacking military facilities in Russia.
00:56In the past, Ukraine received long-range missiles from the US, the UK and France, but was only allowed to use them against Russian military forces within occupied Ukrainian territories.
01:10Before Murs came into office, he signaled he would cancel his predecessor's ban on delivering Germany's Taurus cruise missiles, which are capable of striking targets at a range of 500 kilometres.
01:25EU member states have grilled Hungary over the gay pride ban and the rule of law situation at the Article 7 hearing in Brussels.
01:40Hungary has lately banned the gay pride and plans to put more pressure on foreign-funded NGOs and media.
01:47The Article 7 process against Hungary started in 2018 because of rule of law worries,
02:15and ultimately the EU could strip Hungary's voting rights away at the end of the process.
02:24We have had seven years, seven hearings, and I will be very clear today that this cannot just continue.
02:31Unless we see a completely new attitude from the Hungarian side today,
02:36I think it's time that we consider the next steps because this is getting pointless in continuing these hearings.
02:43Hungary said the accusations are baseless and politically motivated.
02:48The truth is not changed. This is the political hysteria and political movement of the political movement of the political movement of the political movement of the political movement of the political movement of the political movement.
02:57It's not anything else today.
02:59The Hungarian government is, regardless of this, the debate is closed and closed.
03:04It's a few words that are speaking to a few words.
03:05During the meeting, 20 EU countries demanded in a joint declaration that Hungary reversed
03:15the gay pride ban.
03:24Pornhub, StripChat, XNXX and Xvideos are the subject of a new investigation by the European
03:30Commission.
03:31Four sites potentially violated the Digital Services Act, the EU's online safety rulebook
03:37concerning child protection.
03:39The Commission says the investigation will focus on risks to minors, including the apparent
03:45lack of effective age verification systems.
03:48The sites are accused of failing to implement appropriate tools to stop children from accessing
03:53pornographic content.
03:55The Commission claims the platforms lack safeguards to protect users from potential harm, including
04:01risks to their mental and physical health.
04:04Under the DSA, major tech and content platforms are required to better protect users in the
04:10EU, especially children.
04:12The Commission says it will also work with national regulators to ensure smaller adult platforms
04:17follow the same rules.
04:24French farmers rallied in front of the Parliament on Monday in Paris to support a bill aimed at
04:30easing environmental regulations.
04:32Opposition lawmakers, mostly Greens and left-wing parties, filed more than 3,500 amendments in
04:40order to delay Monday's scheduled vote.
04:44One of the bill's most controversial parts is the re-authorization of pesticides such as
04:50acetamiprid banned in France since 2018.
04:55This pesticide is allowed in parts of the EU and considered essential by sugar beet and hazelnut
05:02producers.
05:03Young farmers say the current red tape is pushing their generation away from the land.
05:09The products, we have several authorizations, so we have to make some choices, but the rest
05:16we have to follow the regulations.
05:18So I think that it is very complicated and for the future it becomes complicated.
05:27There is less and less exploitation, the young people don't want to be installed.
05:30Today, all the solutions that we have to produce, to make our cultures well to the end, we
05:41retire them little by little.
05:43In addition, there are still some administrative constraints that are added to our activities.
05:50To maintain the levels of production that we have, there is no alternative that works today.
05:54So it is necessary to stop telling everyone's nonsense.
05:59But the bill has raised concerns among environmentalists due to the pesticides harmful impact on bees and
06:10potential health risks to humans.
06:13If we let this type of law vote, it is a sign of the opposite.
06:17We open the doors with more use and more use of products that we know are dangerous for
06:24living.
06:25In a dramatic move, the center-right and far-right parties joined forces to pass a motion rejecting
06:31the debate of the bill altogether.
06:34The proposal now moves to a joint committee of seven senators and seven MPs, most of them
06:40supportive of the farmers' demands.
06:43In retaliation, left-wing lawmakers have announced plans to table a no-confidence vote against the
06:49government that will be examined on Wednesday evening.
06:57A man was arrested in Liverpool after plowing his vehicle into a crowd of Liverpool Football
07:02Club fans during a celebratory parade.
07:05Scores of people were out on the streets to celebrate their city's Premier League Championship.
07:10Liverpool Football Club organized an open-top bus parade in the city to showcase the club's
07:16record-tying 20th top flight title.
07:19But the shouts of joy quickly turned into shrieks of terror after the car ramming injured dozens
07:24of people.
07:25Local police investigative units say the incident was isolated and have ruled out terrorism as
07:31a potential motive.
07:33Extensive inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision.
07:39And it is vital that people do not speculate or spread misinformation on social media.
07:45What I can tell you is that we believe this to be an isolated incident, and we are not
07:51currently looking for anyone else in relation to it.
07:56The incident is not being treated as terrorism.
08:01The suspect in question is a 53-year-old white British man from Liverpool.
08:06Health officials say 45 people were injured in the incident, including four children.
08:12At least two of the injured sustained critical wounds and were transferred among more than
08:16two dozen others to receive professional care at medical facilities.
08:21Police also say some 20 others were treated on-site by ambulance units for
08:25minor injuries.
08:31The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, or GHF, a new aid distribution system in Gaza, opened
08:39its first hubs on Monday, according to the organization.
08:43It is taking over the handling of aid from other international organizations such as the
08:49UN, which has criticized the new body as ineffective.
08:54The U.S.-registered non-profit says it aims to distribute aid via hubs secured by private contractors.
09:01A letter released by the foundation, whose financial backers have not been revealed, says it aims
09:08to provide direct assistance by bypassing traditional aid models.
09:13On Monday, the organization's executive director, Jake Wood, resigned, citing concerns over its independence
09:21and impartiality.
09:23Aid groups have said the NGO violates humanitarian principles that prevent a warring party from
09:30overseeing humanitarian aid control.
09:33Israel has insisted it will not be directly involved, but would provide security and support for
09:39the plan.
09:40Netanyahu's government has recently found itself under increased pressure from allies following
09:46its three-month aid blockade of Gaza.
09:49U.S. President Donald Trump honored fallen U.S. soldiers with a ceremony at the Arlington National
10:01Cemetery on Memorial Day.
10:03The ceremony started with a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a somber tradition
10:09for U.S. presidents.
10:12He was then joined by Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth for a salute
10:18to commemorate the efforts and sacrifices of the U.S. service members.
10:22America's best and America's bravest have fought, bled, and died so that we could pick
10:27up the torch of liberty, raise it high, high, high, and carry it onward to places they could
10:34never have dreamed of before.
10:37Today we honor their memory.
10:40Trump told the stories of some of the troops and invited their relatives and family to share
10:44their messages and remembrances.
10:47But the address quickly turned political as the U.S. President took a jab at his predecessor,
10:52Joe Biden.
10:53Their valor gave us the freest, greatest, and most noble republic ever to exist on the face
10:59of the earth, a republic that I am fixing after a long and hard four years.
11:05That was a hard four years we went through.
11:16Who would let that happen?
11:19People pouring through our borders unchecked.
11:23European Parliament President Roberto Mazzola also commemorated the occasion.
11:28In a post on X, Mazzola acknowledged the soldiers' efforts which led to continued peace and freedom
11:33in Europe and express her gratitude for their sacrifice.
