00:39 towns across the region.
00:42 Three people were injured when a passenger train derailed near the town of Sundsvall
00:47 after the embankment was partially washed away.
00:52 And in neighbouring Norway, dozens of people have been evacuated.
00:56 Extreme rainfall, brought to the country by the low-pressure system known as Storm Hans,
01:00 has forced flight cancellations and road closures.
01:03 "They are especially aware of the zones in the buildings, which are damaged by the earthquake.
01:11 So they are following this.
01:12 It's difficult to protect against, but they are on alert."
01:19 Severe weather also hit Denmark, with gusts of wind disrupting rail, air and sea traffic.
01:24 Dozens of holidaymakers on the west coast of the country had to leave the area as beach
01:29 houses were swept into the ocean.
01:33 Meanwhile on the other side of the Baltic Sea, Latvia continues to endure weather more
01:37 reminiscent of autumn than summer.
01:40 A violent storm caused severe damage to crops and some houses in the town of Dobile, with
01:45 trees falling on highways and roofs torn off by the wind.
01:52 July was the warmest month on record, according to the European Climate Change Monitoring
01:57 Programme, Copernicus.
01:59 The global temperature was 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial average for
02:04 16 days this month, and 0.27 degrees warmer than the average for July between 1991 and
02:11 2020.
02:13 Storms have also been broken for global ocean surface temperature and sea ice mass.
02:18 This is due to marine heatwaves detected in southern Greenland and the Labrador Sea, as
02:23 well as in the Caribbean basin and the Mediterranean.
02:26 After a long period of unusually high temperatures in April, the ocean surface has continued
02:32 to warm to more than 0.51 degrees Celsius above the 1991 to 2020 average in July.
02:40 At the same time, Antarctic sea ice extent reached 15% below average, the lowest July
02:46 extent since satellite observations began.
02:49 The warming is expected to worsen in the coming months due to the El Nino phenomenon.

03:49 gaining ground in recent days.
03:52 The authorities announced 67 people had been injured, including 29 police officers, seven
03:57 rescue workers and two children.
03:59 "Now the rescue operation is underway in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, after the Russian
04:05 missile strikes.
04:06 The Iskander missiles against ordinary residential buildings.
04:10 All our services are working on site.

04:56 strikes in the historic centre of Odessa have suffered greater damage than initially estimated.
05:02 Speaking in Kiev on Monday, Kyra Detsy-Bardesky presented the preliminary conclusions of a
05:09 recent UNESCO mission.
05:11 Her team visited some of the more than 50 shattered buildings in Ukraine's Black Sea
05:17 city.
05:18 "From the visit, it is clear that the magnitude of the impact on the historic city centre
05:28 is wider than what was initially expected."
05:33 Bardesky revealed that Odessa's Transfiguration Cathedral, the House of Scientists and the
05:38 Odessa Museum of Literature were among the worst hit sites so far.
05:43 She also acknowledged their deep spiritual significance for the people of Odessa.
05:49 The detailed results of the mission will be compiled in a report to be published in December.
05:58 Fifteen years after Russia's invasion, Georgia's President led tributes to the civilians and
06:03 soldiers killed in five days of fighting that left 20% of the country's territory occupied.
06:10 It is a time veteran Berdia Zazadze will never forget.
06:14 His unit responded with artillery.
06:16 "The artillery was used to attack the city for 12 hours.
06:21 We were attacked from the sides.
06:24 The soldiers were shot at.
06:27 The soldiers were shot at from the windows, the windows of the city."
06:34 During one of the clashes, Zazadze's unit was surrounded by the Russians.
06:38 The soldier returned to the front alone to help one of his wounded comrades.
06:42 For his bravery, he received one of the highest Georgian military decorations, the Order of
06:46 Vakhtangorgasal, which he later gave to the family of a Georgian soldier who died fighting

07:00 neighboring one of the Russian-occupied territories.
07:07 China recorded its sharpest drop in exports since July 2020 last month, according to official
07:12 figures released on Tuesday.
07:15 Sales of Chinese products to foreign markets fell by 14.5% year-on-year in July, shrinking
07:20 for the third consecutive month.
07:23 The threat of recession in the US and Europe, plus high inflation, has contributed to sluggish
07:28 global demand for Chinese products in recent months.
07:32 Apart from a brief rebound in March and April, exports from the world's second largest
07:37 economy have been in constant decline since last October.

07:59 Far East.

08:09 Russia hopes Lunar 25 will land on the moon's South Pole to take and analyze soil samples
08:14 and conduct scientific research.

08:49 than 1.8 billion euros won in 2022.

11:43 Fans have paid tribute to him on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
