00:00 Ukrainian forces advance in Zaporizhia region while Russia reports heavy fighting in Donetsk.
00:07 Experts say the EU energy crisis is over for now but some volatility remains as the bloc reduces its dependency on Russian gas.
00:21 The father of Spanish football coach Luis Rubiales has gone on hunger strike as the kiss he gave a player becomes the subject of a sexual assault investigation.
00:30 Ukrainian forces are claiming important advances in their counter offensive in the Zaporizhia region.
00:40 The Ministry of Defence says the army has completely regained control over one of the key points at the centre of recent heavy fighting, the village of Robotina.
00:51 Ukrainian Armed Forces continue their offensive in the south.
00:55 After the liberation of Robotina, our armed forces move to the south-east of the village and move to Novodanylivka, Novoprokipivka, Malatokmachka and Cheretuvate.
01:13 Russia has reported fighting in Donetsk region near Bakhmut where there is heavy artillery fire. No major destruction in Russia has been reported.
01:21 In the Ukrainian city of Kriviri nightly Russian missile strikes have destroyed two private houses.
01:29 The Russian air defence forces say they shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle flying towards Moscow in the Leobardsky area of the city.
01:40 There were no casualties or serious damage but officials say local residents were frightened by the attack.

03:06 Just one year after prices broke all records, the energy crisis in Europe seems to be over, at least for now.
03:14 Monthly household bills that ran to hundreds of euros are over for the time being, as prices have now dropped to pre-Ukraine war levels.
03:23 Experts say that while there will be some ups and downs, customers should now have a little more breathing space.
03:30 The volatility is always in the order of 5, 10, 20% fluctuation.
03:36 It's nothing as dramatic as we have seen and we are used to now see on the market.
03:43 We need to remember that the fundamentals are also pretty encouraging when it comes, for example, with the gas storage.
03:52 Gas storage in Europe is now full by more than 90% and demand for gas in Europe remains reduced in the order of 20% vis-à-vis the pre-crisis level.
04:03 A year ago gas prices marked their record high, reaching 300 euros per megawatt hour, while gas storage facilities were at 79%.
04:13 This August the situation is much better, with prices at 34 euros per megawatt hour and storage facilities almost full.
04:21 And that should allow governments to change course.
04:24 So while last year governments have jumped into this field by subsidising energy bills for all,
04:33 it is now very important not to do that anymore because we are not in the middle of a crisis,
04:38 but to be very selective and provide targeted support to the most vulnerable in society.
04:44 Surprises can't be ruled out this coming winter, but right now observers expect the situation to get better
04:50 as the EU deepens its energy transition and moves away from its dependency on Russian gas.
04:56 Prosecutors have opened an inquiry into two explosions at an unlicensed liquefied petroleum gas filling station
05:11 that left two people dead and 56 people injured north of Romania's capital Bucharest over the weekend.
05:17 The destruction was widespread.
05:20 Some of the injured were firefighters who rushed to the station in the Crevedia commune
05:29 to extinguish the blaze caused by the first explosion, before the second occurred later on Saturday.
05:35 Several people are in critical condition with severe burns.
05:40 Authorities temporarily evacuated residents within a radius of 700 metres of the fire
05:46 that started while gas was transferred from one tanker to another.
05:50 As hundreds of people queued to give blood, Romania's president described the explosions as a tragedy
05:56 and said he was profoundly saddened by what had happened.
05:59 Angry demonstrations have taken place in Libya against a meeting
06:08 between the Libyan Minister of Foreign Affairs of the National Unity Government and her Israeli counterpart.
06:13 Talks between Najlaa Mangush and Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen
06:18 took place secretly last week in Rome, sparking anger and controversy in the country.
06:23 The government in Tripoli has since suspended Mangush pending an investigation
06:28 but insists the meeting did not involve any discussion, agreement or consultation.
06:35 A statement from Israel's foreign ministry quoted Cohen as saying
06:38 they talked about preserving the heritage of Libyan Jews and renovating synagogues and Jewish cemeteries.
06:43 France's education minister Gabriel Attal has announced his country is set to ban young girls
06:52 from wearing the abaya in state-run schools.
06:54 The abaya is a loose-fitting full-length robe worn by some Muslim women.
06:59 France enforces a strict ban on religious signs at state schools
07:04 including the wearing of large crosses and Islamic headscarves.
07:07 The move comes after months of debate and is likely to anger many
07:11 in France's 5 million strong Muslim community.
07:14 The right has been pushing for the ban but the left argues it will encroach on civil liberties.
07:19 The mother of Spain's football chief has sought sanctuary in a church
07:28 as Spanish prosecutors announced they're opening a preliminary investigation of alleged sexual assault
07:33 over the kiss Luis Rubiales gave Jenny Hermoso at the World Cup.
07:37 But the player Jenny Hermoso insists she did not consent to the kiss
08:02 a stance that is backed by her teammates and some government ministers.
08:06 Although Luis Rubiales later apologized to the player
08:09 he has refused to bow to mounting pressure to resign over the issue
08:14 claiming there was nothing forced about the kiss.
08:17 A mother reunited with her biological son after 42 years apart.
08:30 Jimmy Lippert Thayden has traveled all the way from the United States to Santiago for this very moment.
08:36 He is just one of the thousands of children who were trafficked during Augusto Pinochet's regime.
08:42 Thanks to the NGO Nos Buscamos Thayden discovered that his adoption was falsified
08:47 and that his biological family had not consented to the move.
08:51 She responds to all of these texts. She says, "Mijo, you have no idea the oceans I've cried for you."
09:00 "How many nights I've laid awake praying that God let me live long enough to learn what happened to you."
09:05 Through painstaking research Nos Buscamos discovered that he was born in a hospital in Santiago.
09:12 His mother was told he had died and his body had been disposed of.
09:16 A DNA test confirmed he was 100% Chilean and helped connect him with his first cousin and subsequently his mother.
09:26 Constanza del Rio, founder of the NGO, says that over the last nine years
09:30 they have overseen over 450 reunions between adoptees and their biological families.
09:36 This was not for saving them from poorness or saving them from starving or whatever.
09:46 That was the movie they present.
09:50 But the real story was that these kids were stolen from poor families, poor women that didn't know how to defend themselves.
09:58 During Pinochet's 17-year reign, child trafficking was just one of the many human rights violations that took place in Chile.
10:05 According to government figures, thousands of people were killed during the dictatorship
10:09 with tens of thousands more tortured or imprisoned.
10:17 Created in 1958 in honor of its Franco-Romanian namesake,
10:21 the Georgia NSQ Festival has since transformed into what is considered
10:25 one of the major meeting places for musicians and music lovers from all over the world.
10:30 Dozens of concerts and competitions for young musicians will now take place in the Romanian capital Bucharest.
10:43 The Georgia NSQ Philharmonic Orchestra got the ball rolling.
10:47 We conducted Christian Muchalaru and Gautier Capuçon, one of the greatest cello virtuosos.
10:53 They notably performed the concert in B minor, Op. 104 by Dvorak.
11:04 The Georgia NSQ Festival has become, over the years,
11:08 an essential meeting place on the European and global map of major classical music festivals.
11:14 An international recognition for Romania,
11:18 which will welcome up to the end of September,
11:22 the first ever festival of its kind in Romania.
