00:00Overnight strikes into Israel and Iran continued for a third day, leaving over 230 people dead

00:09and neither country backing down.

00:11Sirens were again heard over Tel Aviv and other cities, and buildings were destroyed

00:17in a neighborhood in central Israel, wounding at least 10 people.

00:22Emergency services also struggled to contain fires in Haifa, where an oil refinery was

00:27damaged.

00:29Iran raised its death toll on Sunday to 224 people, and health authorities reported

00:34that 1,277 were wounded.

00:39Iran also acknowledged Israel had killed more of its top generals, including the Revolutionary

00:44Guard Intelligence Chief Mohamed Kazemi.

00:47Israel said Iran fired over 270 missiles since Friday, 22 of which slipped through its Iron

00:54Dome defense system, leaving 14 people dead and wounding hundreds of others.

00:59EU Foreign Policy Chief Kayakala said she will convene an emergency meeting of the bloc's

01:05foreign ministers via video link on Tuesday.

01:07A man suspected of shooting two Democrat lawmakers in the United States has been arrested after

01:18a two-day manhunt.

01:1957-year-old Vance Butler was found in a woods in Minnesota.

01:26He is accused of posing as a police officer and fatally shooting former Democrat House Speaker

01:32Melissa Hortman and her husband in their home on Saturday in Minneapolis.

01:38Governor Tim Walz called the shooting a, quote, politically motivated assassination, and thanked

01:43officers for their hard work.

01:45Spent Father's Day away from their families to deliver justice for Melissa and Mark Hortman

01:53and their children who spent this Father's Day alone.

01:58Authorities say Butler also shot Senator John Hoffman and his wife at their residence in Minneapolis.

02:05They were injured but survived the wounds.

02:10Investigators found a hit list of nearly 70 names in the suspect's car,

02:14mostly naming Democrat politicians or figures with ties to abortion rights.

02:25Leaders of some of the world's biggest economic powers have arrived in the Canadian Rockies for a G7 summit.

02:33This year it is overshadowed by an escalating conflict between Israel and Iran

02:38and U.S. President Donald Trump's unresolved trade war.

02:41As summit host, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has decided to abandon the annual practice

02:48of issuing a joint statement at the end of the meeting.

02:52With other leaders wanting to talk to Trump in an effort to talk him out of imposing tariffs,

02:58the summit risks being a series of bilateral conversations rather than a show of unity.

03:04Some leaders have already had bilateral talks,

03:06such as Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney and her British counterpart Keir Starmer.

03:12Donald Trump was one of the last leaders to arrive late on Sunday,

03:16a day after he hosted a controversial military parade in Washington, D.C.

03:25French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized that Greenland is not to be sold or taken

03:30during a visit there on Sunday.

03:33Standing alongside the Danish and Greenlandic Prime Ministers,

03:36Macron expressed strong criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump's intention

03:41to take control of the Arctic territory.

03:43The situation in Greenland is clearly a wake-up call for all the Europeans.

03:49And let me tell you very directly that you are not alone.

03:53And when a strategic message is sent to you,

04:07I want just for you to know that it's clearly perceived by the Europeans

04:13as targeting a European land.

04:17And this flag you have here is our common flag.

04:22Sunday's symbolic stop to Greenland came as Macron was on his way to a G7 summit in Canada

04:28that Trump is also attending.

04:30While in Greenland, the three leaders held a meeting on a Danish helicopter

04:34to discuss security and visited a fast-melting glacier

04:38to highlight the consequences of climate change.

04:45Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in The Hague dressed in red

04:50to protest the Dutch government's policy towards Israel on Sunday.

04:54It was the second time the so-called red-line protest took place in the Dutch political capital,

04:59exceeding the turnout for a similar event last month.

05:03Local media estimated the crowd at 100,000 people,

05:07while organizers put the numbers closer to 150,000.

05:11As they walked past the ICJ headquarters at the Peace Palace,

05:15the demonstrators symbolically drew a red line.

05:18They say the government has failed to draw to halt Israel's campaign in Gaza.

05:23Alongside The Hague, another red-line protest was also held in Brussels

05:27with an equally high turnout.

05:30Organizers estimated a crowd of 110,000 people.

05:33Several rallies have been held to draw attention to Israel's actions in Gaza,

05:39but Sunday's was the biggest rally so far.

05:45Thousands of people took to the streets of several cities across southern Europe on Sunday

05:50in the latest protest against overtourism.

05:53In the Spanish city of Barcelona, where the main demonstrations took place,

05:57some fired water pistols at shop windows and set off smoke.

06:00Organized by the Alliance Southern Europe Against Overtourism,

06:05demonstrators joined forces with groups in Portugal and Italy.

06:09They argued that uncontrolled tourism,

06:12extending housing prices soaring and forcing people out of their neighborhoods.

06:17It's a city that doesn't give any more.

06:20Neither the public resources nor the public transport are massified in the 12 months of the year.

06:25The rents are still rising, the city is still massified,

06:29the city is still rising, the city is still rising, the city is still rising.

06:33The ongoing protests have been a rallying cry for governments and cities

06:38to rethink their tourism models.

06:40Will health pay the price in the next EU long-term budget?

06:52With growing demands in areas like defence,

06:54concerns are mounting over whether health will be pushed aside.

06:59The European Commission is set to unveil its proposal for the next 7-year EU budget in July,

07:04but early rumours suggest that dedicated health funding could be merged with other programmes,

07:10or worse, eliminated entirely.

07:12The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a historic shift.

07:16For the first time, Member States agreed on a stand-alone 5.3 billion health fund,

07:22known as EU for Health.

07:24Now many worry that this may have been a one-off.

07:27If we are not able to protect this, to have a ring-fenced budget,

07:31a separate health programme within the budget,

07:33I'm afraid that this will all be diluted,

07:36that this will all be absorbed by some big other fund in the budget,

07:39and definitely will lose this focus on healthcare that we have now.

07:42Uncertainty is sparking wider concern in the health sector,

07:46ahead of the Commission's budget proposal.

07:48If we pull back from health investment, we're going to see more delays,

07:53we're going to see less access to innovation,

07:55we're going to see deterioration of health outcomes,

07:59and consequently, we're going to see a reduction in productivity, economic output.

08:06Health is an investment to be made, not a cost to be managed,

08:09and if we do so, we'll improve the health and the wealth of our countries.

08:14EU for Health has already supported key projects,

08:17including a 1.3 million initiative tackling Europe's nursing shortage

08:22by promoting the profession in countries facing the biggest gaps.

08:30How does a quarry become the largest and one of the most unique open-air stages in Europe

08:36and the set for some of the world's most famous operas?

08:40Situated just a few kilometres outside of the Austrian town of Sankt Margareten,

08:45it's where Richard Wagner's opera The Flying Dutchman is being staged this summer.

08:50It takes nearly two years of preparation to produce an opera,

08:54creating sets that will work in Europe's largest open-air theatre.

08:59An opera is decided, and then the leading team comes together,

09:03makes their first outline, their draft of how the stage is going to look like,

09:09and then it goes into the manufacturing.

09:12Then all this will be done over months and months of time,

09:17until it's mounted here in the Steinbruch.

09:20So that is the interesting part.

09:23And then comes the first day of rehearsal.

09:26The bigger scenery is moved by machine, the lighter sets by hand.

09:30This, for example, is the House of the Dutchman's love interest centre.

09:34The stage manager shows how it can be moved without any effort during a performance.

09:38Quarry rocks have been included as an integral part of the set,

09:42but with a stage of about 950 square meters, the biggest challenge is the huge space.

09:47Nálunk nincsen hívó berendezés, mindent lábmunkával kell elvégeznünk.

09:54A színpadnak a legszélsőbb pontja és a szóló ötöző között van kb. 160 méter návoság.

10:03Így nem csak nekünk, hanem minden résztvevőnek is ez egy nagy kihívás,

10:09ugyanis nem elegendő, közvetlenül a színpadra a lépés előtt megjelenni,

10:17hanem bele kell kalkulálni ezeket a távolságokat.

10:20The weather is also a major challenge.

10:23The scenery is built to withstand wind and rain,

10:26but in the event of a storm, the show is cancelled.

10:30Director Philip Krenn says that it's not only the quarry rocks

10:34that have been incorporated into the production,

10:36but the sunset as well.

10:39You're depending on weather,

10:42you're depending on even little birds.

10:45When they're flying down,

10:46you're really connected to the nature,

10:52and that's kind of a bit of Hollander feeling as well,

10:54because he's so connected to the nature,

10:56he can't disappear,

10:57and he's connected with the water,

10:59and centers connected with the earth,

11:02and they bring all that stuff together.

11:04Over 60 artists perform on the huge stage at once,

11:08and spectacular set elements,

11:10like the waves of the sea,

11:12dwarf the human beings.

11:14It will be really amazing when the ship comes out

11:16with the whole crew on it,

11:17and it's amazing to have this big view.

11:21The quarry, owned by the Esterhájsi Foundation,

11:24has been in operation since Roman times,

11:26and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

11:29It's also the source of material

11:31for many of Vienna's iconic buildings,

11:34such as St. Stephen's Cathedral,

11:36which is still supplied with stone

11:38from the quarry for repairs and maintenance.

11:41So we have a new one.

11:42And it's amazing to see the future.

11:43So this is the first one of the premieres,

11:44and I've got a lot of work,

11:45I want it to be so equipped.

11:46So we'll see the first two of these,

11:47and then we'll see the next two of these.

11:48So I'll see you see the next one.

11:48We've got a little bit more here,

11:49and I'll see you in the future.

11:49So like you see the next one.

11:50So if I'm in the future,

11:51I'm going to try it.

11:51I'm going to see you in the future,

11:51so I'm going to try it.

11:52We're going to see it.

11:52Well, I'm thinking it's not.
