00:01As Trump urges progress in ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, Netanyahu said there were broad regional possibilities.
00:10Demonstrators set up street blockades in Serbia, angry over the arrest of anti-government protesters who clashed with police the day earlier.
00:20France's union of professional football players has slammed the FIFA Club World Cup over concerns regarding extreme player workloads.
00:30As Trump urges progress in ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there were broad regional possibilities.
00:43His comments come following the announcement of a recent ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
00:50Of course, we also need to move on to the Azhar's issue to propose Hamas.
00:54I'm telling you that we will move on to two decisions.
00:56But now we have to move on to two decisions.
01:02Palestinians in Gaza are greeting the possibility with skepticism, hardened by months of shattered promises and ongoing suffering.
01:12Inside the crowded camps across the Strip, patience has long worn thin.
01:17But in the midst of this situation we will be the first time in terror.
01:23We will have to take some attention in time and do not take a toll, we will have to stop the war.
01:25We will have to stop the war. And then we will stop the war, right?
01:27So finally we will have to return for another war.
01:29This is exactly like the previous war. We will take a lot of war in a year.
01:33We are going to listen to each other.
01:35We will hear about the war.
01:36This was at the end of the war.
01:40So we will go to war by the war.
01:43Plans are reportedly set for Netanyahu to visit Trump in the U.S.
01:51as signed there may be movement on a deal.
01:54However, these plans have not yet been finalized.
02:01Citizen complaints to the European mediator are on the rise this year.
02:05Teresa Angel reveals that the main criticisms are difficulties in accessing documents,
02:12public participation and a lack of transparency.
02:35The new Ombudsman argues that it is better to prevent, in order to increase,
02:41the transparency of the European Union's institutions.
02:45Angel emphasized that the Commission needs to do more in future,
02:50referring to the Pfizer-Gate case which involved the President of the European Commission
02:55in a text message exchange about vaccines during the pandemic.
02:59In a first interview with Euronews, Anin Jo makes it clear that the European Ombudsman
03:25does not have judicial power, but it is on the side of citizens.
03:29We are not just administrative watchdogs, we also are and must be a guardian of the European citizenship.
03:37And in addition to the European citizenship, there is the right to participate.
03:44Angino has launched her own initiative inquiry into the sensitive issue of revolving doors.
03:50The term refers to former public officials who take up roles in the private sector
03:54or engage in lobbying, this raises concerns about conflicts of interest
03:59between public duties and private gains.
04:07Thousands of demonstrators set up street blockades in Serbia,
04:11angry over the arrest of anti-government protesters
04:13who clashed with police at a rally the day earlier.
04:16Demonstrators set up metal fences and put garbage containers in various locations across Belgrade,
04:25also blocking a key bridge over the Sava River.
04:29In the city of Novi Sad, protesters reportedly pelted the offices of the ruling populist
04:35Serbian Progressive Party with eggs.
04:39Protesters demanded that authorities release dozens of other protesters
04:43who were jailed for attacking the police
04:45or for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government
04:48at a rally on Saturday in Belgrade.
04:51Those at that rally demanded snap parliamentary elections
04:55after months of protests spurred by a deadly train station on a collapse.
05:01Many Serbians blamed the collapse on alleged government corruption
05:04and negligence in state infrastructure projects,
05:08leading to the recurring mass protests.
05:10Online gaming is one of the world's biggest industries
05:20with over 9 million players
05:22and annual revenues in the tens of billions of dollars,
05:26according to the European Commission.
05:28But there's growing concern about the link between video games and violent extremism.
05:34A European study finds that extremists and terrorists,
05:39often pioneers in a digital space,
05:41have new opportunities through games and related platforms.
05:46During an event held in Athens focused on curbing extremism in gaming,
05:51experts shared their latest concerns.
05:54The real danger here is that through gaming,
06:01the barrier to violence becomes thinner in two ways.
06:06First of all, especially the games that are extremists in nature,
06:12paint a picture and a story in which there is an enemy.
06:15You know, there is this group of people,
06:16it can be the LGBTQ community or Muslims, foreigners, whatever.
06:20And it builds up a story in which these individuals are a threat,
06:26are negatively pictured as well,
06:28and it's okay to go after them.
06:30So basically it's a very effective way of indoctrinating
06:33and creating these feelings of hate and enmity.
06:37And then there's also the idea of really socialising people
06:42and normalising to violence.
06:44It's also worrying that younger players are increasingly affected.
06:49The problem is that they're targeting younger and younger people.
06:54So we even have 12-year-olds who are even recruiting other 12-year-olds.
07:00So we could definitely say that the extremism and violence problem nowadays
07:04has become really a teenage or even a children problem,
07:08which is a very big challenge to our prevention efforts.
07:12The games industry is keen to build safe, non-toxic player communities.
07:20Finding the right balance between artistic freedom and tackling hate games
07:25is something that requires definitely action from the game distribution platforms.
07:31The European Games industry has been working for years
07:33to build healthy, non-toxic online communities for everyone.
07:37And that has been our goal for a long time now.
07:41And we have built a number of different methodologies, tools, etc. for that.
07:45And something that is most successful on that side
07:47that we hope that other industries, building digital communities,
07:51will take from us is the strong investment in community management.
07:54The event also showcased Watchtower, an AI tool from the GEMS project
08:01to detect and prevent extremism in gaming.
08:05The event of the GEMS project is a very important part of the GEMS project.
08:36Two firefighters were fatally shot in the U.S.
08:39after they were ambushed by sniper fire while responding to a blaze in Idaho,
08:44authorities said.
08:46A third firefighter was seriously injured.
08:50The fire was caused by the shooter, whom authorities say acted alone.
08:55The suspect's body was later found with a firearm nearby.
08:58Authorities did not release the man's name,
09:03but believe he started the fire intentionally.
09:05France's union of professional football players has sounded the alarm over the FIFA Club World Cup,
09:17saying it is, quote,
09:18urgent to stop this massacre amid ongoing concerns over player welfare.
09:26It's also accused FIFA president Gianni Infantino of ignoring the physical and mental health of players
09:32for financial gain, despite the impact congested calendars have on players worldwide.
09:39The newly expanded tournament involving 32 teams has faced pushback since it was announced,
09:45but went ahead against the backdrop of legal challenges in Europe and strike threats.
09:52Days before the start of the month-long Club World Cup,
09:56football chiefs faced renewed calls to safeguard players,
09:59overgrowing fears of injuries and burnout.
10:01While the remaining 16 teams at the tournament in the US battled it out for a place in the final on the 13th of July,
10:09some French clubs have already resumed training for the upcoming season.
10:31We'll see you next time.
11:01Dampson and I are, you know, heading down the straights at 180 miles an hour.
11:06We're definitely, you know, wheel to wheel.
11:09It could all go horribly wrong.
11:10We had a few misadventures off track, unintended,
11:14but overall we got through it great.
11:16We had great guys training us.
11:18Michiana Bacchetta, Craig Goldie, and it all worked.
11:23I changed my diet.
11:25I was running every day.
11:25I hate to run.
11:26I was running every day,
11:28and I was eating the way a Formula One driver eats,
11:30so I was really trying to immerse myself in a character as much as possible.
