00:01A convoy of 22 A-trucks entered the Syrian city of Soweda on Wednesday following weeks of clashes.
00:14More than 100 non-governmental organizations have sounded the alarm about mass starvation in Gaza.
00:20Thousands rallied in Kyiv, urging Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy to veto a bill critics say could cripple Ukraine's anti-corruption infrastructure.
00:31Trump announced a new trade framework with Japan that will impose a 15% tariff on Japanese imports, easing back from a previously threatened 25% levy.
00:44A convoy of 22 A-trucks entered the Syrian city of Soweda on Wednesday.
00:49It was the second aid convoy by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent to be sent since clashes erupted between the Druze minority militiamen and Sunni Bedouin tribes backed by security forces.
01:00Wednesday's trucks contained 4,000 food baskets, 66 tons of flour, 10,000 bottles of drinking water and humanitarian medical supplies, according to Syrian officials.
01:11The first aid convoy entered the city on Sunday.
01:14The head of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent said the situation in Soweda remained grim, particularly in the main hospital where some 300 bodies piled up during the clashes.
01:25The city had been almost entirely cut off from supplies during the two-week fighting.
01:29Clashes that took place in Soweda over the past two weeks have killed hundreds and displaced over 130,000 people, according to the United Nations.
01:42More than 100 non-governmental organizations have sounded the alarm about mass starvation in Gaza in a joint statement.
01:52Prominent NGOs like Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International and Oxfam warned that they witnessed their own colleagues and partners, quote,
01:59"...waste before their eyes."
02:04They are once again calling for an immediate ceasefire, the opening of all crossings, and the free flow of humanitarian aid.
02:11The statement comes exactly two months since the launch of the controversial U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
02:20The UN Human Rights Office said that since May, more than 1,000 Palestinians trying to access food and aid in Gaza have been killed by Israeli forces, mostly near aid sites run by the GHF.
02:32Later this week, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is set to travel to Europe to discuss a range of issues, including Gaza and the push for a ceasefire.
02:43Witkoff will also travel to the Middle East, where he is hopeful to come forward with a ceasefire agreement and the establishment of a humanitarian corridor.
02:51The World Health Organization has condemned what it called a blatant attack on its facilities and staff in the central city of Deir al-Balah in Gaza.
03:03The organization says Israeli forces attacked its main warehouse and the residences of staff, causing extensive damage.
03:10It added that its response capabilities to humanitarian crises were also severely reduced.
03:15The warehouse, storing everything from medical supplies to clothing, was bombed in the early hours of Tuesday and then looted by desperate locals, according to the WHO.
03:26The staff residents and the families living there were subjected to three separate attacks, one which caused a fire as well as structural damage to the building.
03:35Israeli forces stormed the building during the shelling, forcing women and children to leave on foot towards al-Mawasi, which Israel designated a safe haven on Sunday.
03:43It comes as Israel carries out what it described as a major ground operation in the city.
03:50It's the first time the IDF conducts an operation on the central city, noting previously that they've avoided it as they believe Hamas may be harboring hostages there.
04:00Deir al-Balah is one of the last remaining areas in the enclave to still be standing, having suffered minimal damage so far in Israel's 21-month offensive.
04:08Dozens were killed in Israeli attacks on the city in the past 48 hours, and hundreds of thousands were forcibly displaced.
04:17Thousands rallied in Kyiv on Tuesday, urging Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy to veto a bill critics say would cripple Ukraine's anti-corruption infrastructure.
04:30The parliament had passed a controversial bill tightening oversight of two key anti-corruption bodies.
04:37Critics warned the measure could weaken the independence of the agencies and increase political influence over investigations.
04:47Despite public outcry, Zelenskyy reportedly signed the bill into law.
04:51We have to do everything so that our Ukraine is complete and independent and independent.
05:01And we have to support the army by all the methods.
05:04And this is one of them.
05:06We have to join and fight against corruption.
05:08And this is a big issue.
05:09And thanks to which Europe will support us.
05:15Transparency International criticised the news, saying it undermines past reform and damages trust with international partners.
05:22It is important to fight corruption, so that we have to fight against the power of our army.
05:29The more effective the country will fight against our resources, and the less corruption, the more we can fight against the resources.
05:35We have to fight against our war.
05:36However, we see that the president of Ukraine, instead of being an example, being a locomotive in this history,
05:44fighting and demonstrating zero tolerance to corruption,
05:47he now uses his power resources to take control over criminal actions of his population.
05:54Fighting corruption is a key condition for Ukraine's bid to join the European Union,
05:59and to secure continued Western support as it defends against Russia's ongoing full-scale invasion.
06:10U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new trade framework with Japan that will impose a 15% tariff on Japanese imports,
06:19easing back from a previously threatened 25% levy.
06:22Under the new agreement, Trump said Japan would invest $550 billion in the U.S.
06:28and open its economy to U.S. rice and carbs.
06:31Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiiaba welcomed the deal,
06:35and said it would benefit both nations while strengthening bilateral cooperation.
06:38U.S. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiaba's ruling coalition had failed in a recent election to secure a majority,
06:51but he said he would stay in office to avoid creating a political vacuum and to deal with the tariffs.
07:06Key details of the new deal remain unclear, including whether Japanese-made cars would still be subject to the 25% tariff Trump has announced for the automobile sector.
07:20A firefighting helicopter crashed into the Gulf of Elefcina with all three people on board rescued from the water, according to local officials.
07:28A search and rescue operation was launched after authorities were alerted that the aircraft had gone down at sea.
07:35The occupants crashed while attempting to collect water to fight a fire near Athens.
07:40They were taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
07:42No information was immediately available on their condition.
07:46Authorities launched an investigation into the cause of the crash.
07:57EU Home Affairs Minister meeting in Copenhagen on Tuesday have broadly endorsed the two recent controversial proposals
08:04by the European Commission designed to curb irregular migration into the bloc.
08:09By changing the EU definition of safe third countries, member states would be allowed to dismiss asylum applications without consideration
08:19and transfer applicants overseas, even if the migrant has no connection to the place in question.
08:26This could result in partnership with the non-EU countries similar to the UK's Rwanda Deportation Policy
08:33that was ruled unlawful by the UK's Supreme Court.
08:38Previously considered taboo, many countries have now come around to the idea, according to the Danish Minister for Immigration.
08:47Well, I think we need to make sure that processing of asylum claims is not necessarily done within the European Union.
08:53I think that's the best way to break the business model of human smugglers.
08:59The other innovative idea would enable member states to transfer rejected asylum seekers to return hubs outside the EU,
09:08while completing the paperwork to get them returned to their countries of origin.
09:12The Commission's proposal lays the necessary legal groundwork to allow governments to strike arrangements with countries outside the bloc,
09:23that might be willing to host migrants in return for financial incentives.
09:28Two centres built in Albania by the Italian government, initially meant to host asylum seekers and now converted into return centres, could serve as a model.
09:38Other countries could follow suit with similar schemes.
09:43France has a constitutional blockage, but on the return centres, we don't have it,
09:49and everything that will allow the arrangements more effective, I am favorable.
09:54Migration is a priority for Denmark, which is currently chairing the EU.
09:59Many other countries seem to be on board with the proposals.
10:02France, Germany, Austria, Poland and Czech Republic recently signed a common declaration to beef up migrant returns,
10:11strengthen external borders and build partnerships with third countries.

10:19Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76, just weeks after his farewell concert at the Black Sabbath reunion in Birmingham.
10:33Osbourne was the lead singer of Black Sabbath, a band that redefined 20th century music, with songs like Paranoid, Iron Man and War Pigs.
10:44The Prince of Darkness, he was an institution, the founder of heavy metal in my opinion.
10:48He introduced it to me as a teenager, so it's a sad day and I had the honor of meeting the family as well.
10:56I'm very sad for Sharon and the family.
10:58Osbourne's fame expanded into the mainstream in the early 2000s when he joined his wife Sharon Osbourne and two of their children in the MTV reality TV show, The Osbournes.
11:09Not only was it one of the first of its kind, it kind of pioneered the genre in my opinion.
11:15You know, it was before social media, so like the access we had to celebrities and people like Ozzy Osbourne was very limited.
11:21We had no idea what we were getting. We thought it was just going to be an extension of Cribs.
11:26And so when it came out, we were all absolutely flabbergasted at the response.
11:35Osbourne's family announced his death in a statement, saying he passed away peacefully.
11:39In 2020, the singer had announced he had Parkinson's disease after suffering a fall.
