00:00Denmark and Greenland urge U.S. President Donald Trump to stop the threats of annexing Greenland, one of the three countries in the Danish kingdom.
00:10Ukrainian authorities say an overnight Russian air attack on Kyiv killed two people in what appeared to be the first reported deaths in Russian strikes on the capital this year.
00:20Swiss authorities identify all 40 victims of the Karmontana Alps bar New Year's fire, with the youngest being 14 years old.
00:30Ten people have been convicted by a Paris court of cyberbullying France's First Lady Brigitte Macron.
00:40The Prime Minister of Denmark called on U.S. President Donald Trump to stop threatening the annexation of Greenland.
00:48Mehta Fredrickson wrote in a statement on Sunday that it makes, quote,
00:52absolutely no sense for the U.S. to need to take over Greenland or any of the three countries in the Danish kingdom.
00:58Trump has repeatedly expressed his interest in taking ownership of the mineral-rich Arctic nation, citing grave national security concerns.
01:09We need Greenland from a national security situation.
01:14It's so strategic.
01:15Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place.
01:20We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not going to be able to do it, I can tell you.
01:29Greenland Prime Minister Jens Friedrich Nielsen slammed Trump's renewed proposition,
01:34asserting that his country is, quote,
01:36not an object of superpower rhetoric.
01:38The exchange comes after the U.S. carried out a major military operation against Venezuela on Saturday,
01:46instituting a regime change and securing the capture of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
01:55After the U.S. raid in Venezuela that resulted in the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro,
02:01Trump repeated his intentions to annex Greenland for the U.S.
02:05We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security.
02:11Trump regularly cites national security interests as a reason for his intentions towards Greenland.
02:17But according to this expert, Washington already has a security foothold in Greenland,
02:22and the Trump administration's intentions almost certainly pertain more to natural resources.
02:27The president puts a lot of emphasis on resources, mineral resources, energy resources, commercial opportunities.
02:37You know, we can debate how easily these would be realized in Greenland.
02:41Investors have so far not been that keen to be involved.
02:45But clearly this is part of President Trump's worldview.
02:50While the Danish government insists that the territory is not for sale,
02:54Lesser says Denmark and Europe have some cards to play as well.
02:57I do think there are a lot of things on the table because the administration does seem to put a primacy on economic and commercial issues, among other things.
03:06I think there is the possibility to do, in some sense, a package deal across the Atlantic in which many things are in play.
03:19The U.S. and Denmark are both founding members of NATO.
03:24Nevertheless, Lesser warns that the constant threats are disruptive of a transatlantic security relationship that's already in jeopardy.
03:32Russia carried out of the United States in the United States.
03:34Russia carried out combined missile and drone aerial attacks, killing two people, Ukraine's authorities said on Monday.
03:43Local officials say fragments of a drone or a missile struck a four-story building where an inpatient department was operating on the second floor,
03:53causing a fire and resulted in structural damage to the civilian hospital.
03:58Emergency Response Unit said that the body of a deceased civilian who was receiving medical care was discovered.
04:06Three others were found injured in the facility, having sustained wounds of varying severity.
04:12Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said at least 165 drones were launched across the border in the early hours of Monday,
04:21with some 100 of them being Iranian-made Shahid strike drones.
04:26The attacks, which caused the first reported deaths in Russian strikes on Ukraine this year,
04:31came just days after Ukraine and European allies discussed a U.S.-led 20-point peace plan in Kyiv.
04:41Swiss authorities say all 40 people who died in a fire in a bar at a ski resort on New Year's Eve have been identified.
04:49The final 16 victims were identified late on Sunday, according to a representative of Valet Police,
04:56who responded to the tragedy, described as one of the worst in Switzerland's recent history.
05:02Some 26 of the 40 victims who lost their lives were teenagers,
05:06with the youngest being two 14-year-olds from France and Switzerland.
05:11The Alpine country is set to hold a national day of mourning this week.
05:16According to local health officials, close to 120 people were also injured in the blaze in Crumb, Montana,
05:24with many sustaining severe burns and wounds.
05:28Early investigation indicates that sparklers were the likely cause of the fire.
05:34Police on Sunday said they were investigating the two people who ran the bar on suspicion of homicide by negligence.
05:41According to the police, a criminal inquiry was also launched into negligent bodily harm and negligently causing a fire.
05:51Ten people have been convicted by a Paris court of cyberbullying France's first lady,
06:03Brigitte Macron, over force online claims about her gender identity and sexuality,
06:09including allegations she was born male.
06:12Brigitte Macron did not attend the two-day trial in October,
06:16but told French media on Sunday she pursued legal action to set an example against harassment.
06:23The court said particularly degrading, insulting and malicious comments were made.
06:45The defendants, aged between 41 and 65, received sentences ranging from cyberbullying awareness training
06:53to eight-month suspended prison terms.
06:56The case follows years of conspiracy theories falsely claiming that Brigitte Macron was born male
07:03and that her birth name was Jean-Michel Trougneau, which is her brother's name.
07:08Reuben Amorim has been sacked as Manchester United manager 14 months after arriving at Old Trafford,
07:19the English Premier League club announced on Monday.
07:23In a statement, Manchester United say the decision has been made reluctantly
07:28and that it is the right time to make a change.
07:31On Sunday, Amorim criticised the club's structure,
07:35further exposing the Portuguese's rift between with United's management.
07:42I just want to say that I'm going to be the manager of this team, not just the coach.
07:47And I was really clear on that.
07:50That is my job, not to be a coach.
07:53If people cannot handle the Gary Nevels and the criticisms of everything,
07:58we need to change the club.
08:01Amorim leaves after 63 games with a total of 25 wins.
08:07Meanwhile, Darren Fletcher will take the interim role.
08:31I think the Padre is a sport that is easy to learn, not to play, but to play in itself.
08:41It is to say, as it has four components, it is relatively easy to pass the ball from one field to another.
08:47And as it really exists, there is a chance to rebote the ball and not to lose the ball, like in the tennis.
08:53And as we are four, it depends only on one person, but it depends on the four components.
08:58Here in Spain, there is a boom incredible, especially because the best athletes in the world are Spanish and Argentinians.
09:13In Spain, there are clubs, clubs, clubs, clubs, clubs, and a day of today, there are many more installations and many more pistas.
09:20In Spain, there are many people who play the ball against the ball.
09:22In Spain, there are many people who play the ball against the ball against the ball.
09:25In Spain, there are many people who play the ball against the ball against the ball.
09:29It is very similar to when I play the ball against the ball against the ball.
09:33It reminds me of that, and that is a beautiful memory.
09:36I like that feeling of the air free, of the noise that the ball against the ball against the ball.
09:43It reminds me of those moments of the ball with the family in the summer.
09:55Angels, a documentary by Hisham Tuli Idrisi and Nancy Wong Musisa, put the secret lives of South Korean tattoo artists on full display as they worked in the shadows in the name of their art.
10:09It tells the stories of those who dared to defy both the stigma and the law, and who eventually campaigned for their country to recognize their work.
10:17In my opinion, I want to live in every situation, but because there is no law, and I feel that I can't be safe.
10:33More than that, they risk social stigma, including from their families.
10:37Tattoos in South Korea are often associated with medical risks or gang activity.
10:42In Korea, China and Japan, criminals were once punished for having their faces tattooed.
10:46A stigma that continues into the modern day.
10:49There are times when I live in a lot of tattoos.
10:56But I think that's true.
10:58When I was young, I lived with my grandmother.
11:00When I lived with my grandmother and my father,
11:05my grandmother and my father would look at me.
11:07They'd look at me and look at my tattoos,
11:10and I was very worried.
11:13I was like, my grandmother.
11:16It's my grandmother.
11:18Following lengthy campaigns, including by a tattooist's union,
11:22the law finally changed last month,
11:24bringing an end to the instability faced by people in the sector.
11:27Non-medical professionals who make up a vast majority of the sector
11:30will now be able to be licensed and gain formal recognition for their work.
11:34The process to full recognition, however, will be lengthy,
11:37as the law will come into force in two years.
