00:00More than 100 non-governmental organizations have sounded the alarm about mass starvation in Gaza.
00:10Trump announced a new trade framework with Japan that will impose a 15% tariff on Japanese imports,
00:16easing back from a previously threatened 25% levy.
00:22More than 100 non-governmental organizations have sounded the alarm about mass starvation in Gaza
00:28in a joint statement.
00:30Prominent NGOs like Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International and Oxfam
00:35warned that they witnessed their own colleagues and partners, quote,
00:38waste before their eyes.
00:42They are once again calling for an immediate ceasefire,
00:45the opening of all crossings and the free flow of humanitarian aid.
00:51The statement comes exactly two months since the launch of the controversial
00:55U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
00:58The UN Human Rights Office said that since May,
01:01more than 1,000 Palestinians trying to access food and aid in Gaza
01:05have been killed by Israeli forces, mostly near aid sites run by the GHF.
01:12Later this week, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is set to travel to Europe
01:16to discuss a range of issues, including Gaza and the push for a ceasefire.
01:20Witkoff will also travel to the Middle East where he is hopeful to come forward
01:25with a ceasefire agreement and the establishment of a humanitarian corridor.
01:33The World Health Organization has condemned what it called a blatant attack
01:37on its facilities and staff in the central city of Deir al-Balah in Gaza.
01:42The organization says Israeli forces attacked its main warehouse
01:45and the residences of staff causing extensive damage.
01:49It added that its response capabilities to humanitarian crises were also severely reduced.
01:55The warehouse, storing everything from medical supplies to clothing,
01:58was bombed in the early hours of Tuesday
02:00and then looted by desperate locals according to the WHO.
02:04The staff residents and the families living there were subjected to three separate attacks,
02:08one which caused a fire as well as structural damage to the building.
02:12Israeli forces stormed the building during the shelling,
02:15forcing women and children to leave on foot towards al-Mawasi,
02:19which Israel designated a safe haven on Sunday.
02:22It comes as Israel carries out what it described as a major ground operation in the city.
02:28It's the first time the IDF conducts an operation on the central city,
02:33noting previously that they've avoided it as they believe Hamas may be harboring hostages there.
02:37Deir al-Balah is one of the last remaining areas in the enclave to still be standing,
02:42having suffered minimal damage so far in Israel's 21-month offensive.
02:47Dozens were killed in Israeli attacks on the city in the past 48 hours,
02:52and hundreds of thousands were forcibly displaced.
02:54U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new trade framework with Japan
03:03that will impose a 15% tariff on Japanese imports,
03:07easing back from a previously threatened 25% levy.
03:11Under the new agreement, Trump said Japan would invest $550 billion in the U.S.
03:16and open its economy to U.S. rice and cars.
03:20Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba welcomed the deal
03:23and said it would benefit both nations while strengthening bilateral cooperation.
03:26U.S. Prime Minister Shigeru
03:27Ishiba's ruling coalition had failed in a recent election to secure a majority,
03:37but he said he would stay in office to avoid creating a political vacuum and to deal with the tariffs.
03:42Key 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.
04:03Trump has announced for the automobile sector.

04:33U.S. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba
04:35In caz de război ceva, adică ar trebui să știm ce trebuie să facem.
04:37U.S. Prime Minister Shigeru
04:38Chiar mi-ar plăcea un pic de mișcare în plus, un pic de activitate, dar și mai serioasă, adică până la urmă nu e ca și cum te duci la joacă cu băieții.

05:14or the age of these reserves,
05:17we can say that it is quite,
05:21not advanced,
05:23about around 48-50 years.
05:27And the project that is on the circuit
05:30of advertising now,
05:31aims to bring a significant number of reserves.
05:35The law draft provides for a four-month military training
05:46during which the young volunteers are paid like active military personnel
05:50and at the end they also receive an allowance of almost 2,500 euros.
05:59Thousands rallied in Kyiv on Tuesday,
06:02urging Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy to veto a bill
06:06critics say would cripple Ukraine's anti-corruption infrastructure.
06:11The parliament had passed a controversial bill
06:13tightening oversight of two key anti-corruption bodies.
06:18Critics warned the measure could weaken the independence of the agencies
06:22and increase political influence over investigations.
06:26Despite public outcry,
06:28Zelenskyy reportedly signed the bill into law.
06:32We have to do everything,
06:34so that our Ukraine is complete,
06:36and the war,
06:38and the independent.
06:40And we have to support the army
06:42by all the methods,
06:43and this is one of them.
06:44We have to reunite and fight against corruption.
06:47And this is a great value,
06:51thanks to which Europe will support us.
06:54Transparency International criticized the news,
06:57saying it undermines past reform
06:59and damages trust with international partners.
07:01We have to fight against corruption,
07:03so that we have to fight against corruption,
07:04so that we have to fight against the power of our army.
07:07The more effective country will use our resources,
07:10and the less corruption,
07:12the more we can send resources to our power.
07:15However, we see that the president of Ukraine,
07:18instead of being an example,
07:20being a locomotive of this history,
07:22fighting and demonstrating no tolerance to corruption,
07:25now he uses his resources to take control
07:30against the criminal implementation of his family.
07:33Fighting corruption is a key condition
07:35for Ukraine's bid to join the European Union,
07:38and to secure continued Western support
07:40as it defends against Russia's ongoing,
07:43full-scale invasion.
07:49A firefighting helicopter crashed into the Gulf of Elefcina,
07:53with all three people on board rescued from the water,
07:56according to local officials.
07:58A search and rescue operation was launched
08:00after authorities were alerted
08:01that the aircraft had gone down at sea.
08:04The occupants crashed while attempting to collect water
08:06to fight a fire near Athens.
08:08They were taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
08:11No information was immediately available on their condition.
08:15Authorities launched an investigation into the cause of the crash.
08:19To sign or not to sign the EU code of practice on artificial intelligence,
08:29this is the question that the web giants are asking themselves.
08:33OpenAI and Microsoft have already announced their intention to sign it.
08:38On the other hand,
08:39Meta is the only one to have announced it would not do so.
08:42One of its leaders said on social media that Europe
08:45is heading down the wrong path with regards to AI,
08:48and pointed out legal uncertainties for model developers.
08:51Experts are not surprised.
08:53There is no doubt that the success of the code of practice will be counted on how much participation and goodwill from the industry there is.
09:09So there is no doubt about that.
09:12And Meta as a large player and very ambitious player,
09:18as we discussed, trying to really compete in the US and globally with other AI hyperscalers,
09:26it definitely is a blow considering how fast they were in making that decision and making it public.
09:34This kind of compass aims to help AI model providers comply with the new European laws on artificial intelligence
09:41that will enter into force in August.
09:44The rules concern transparency, copyright and security.
09:48For example, companies committing to not develop AI models with stolen data.
09:53The European Commission has ensured that Meta will still have to comply with EU law on AI.
09:59Signing the code of practice is voluntary.
10:02What will however not be voluntary for Meta is to be compliant with the AI Act by the 2nd of August.
10:08This will be an obligation.
10:10Other companies like Google and Amazon have not yet declared if they would sign the code or not.
10:21Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76,
10:25just weeks after his farewell concert at the Black Sabbath reunion in Birmingham.
10:31Osbourne was the lead singer of Black Sabbath, a band that redefined 20th century music,
10:37with songs like Paranoid, Iron Man and War Pigs.
10:41The Prince of Darkness, he was an institution, the founder of heavy metal in my opinion.
10:45He introduced it to me as a teenager.
10:47So, it's a sad day and I had the honor, yeah, meeting the family as well.
10:53I'm very sad for Sharon and the family.
10:55Osbourne's fame expanded into the mainstream in the early 2000s,
10:59when he joined his wife Sharon Osbourne and two of their children in the MTV reality TV show The Osbournes.
11:07Not only was it one of the first of its kind, it kind of pioneered the genre in my opinion.
11:12You know, it was before social media.
11:14So, like, the access we had to celebrities and people like Ozzy Osbourne was very limited.
11:19We had no idea what we were getting.
11:21We thought it was just going to be an extension of Cribs.
11:24And so, when it came out, we were all absolutely flabbergasted at the response.
11:32Osbourne's family announced his death in a statement, saying he passed away peacefully.
11:37In 2020, the singer had announced he had Parkinson's disease after suffering a fall.
