00:00At least 39 people have died and many more have been injured after a high-speed train with 300
00:08passengers aboard derailed and collided with another train in Spain's Adamus. According to
00:15footage shared by the passenger, several carriages on the train could be seen severely damaged after
00:20the crash. Passengers reported climbing out of smashed windows, with some using emergency hammers
00:27to break them. Spain's transport minister said early on Monday that the cause of the crash was
00:32unknown. He said the back part of the first train derailed and crashed into the head of the other
00:38train, knocking its first two carriages off the track and down a four-meter slope.
00:44The Spanish Red Cross set up a help center in the town of Adamus near the crash site,
00:49offering assistance to emergency services and people seeking information. Members of Spain's
00:54civil guard and civil defense worked on site throughout the night.
01:02This year's World Economic Forum in Davos could be like no other. The annual gathering of political
01:08and business elites comes as Europe faces its biggest test ever over its relationship with
01:13Washington, its economic model and its security architecture. All eyes are on the midweek as US
01:20President Donald Trump is expected to make his first appearance at the summit in six years,
01:25arriving amid tensions over his attempts to acquire Greenland, his tariff threats against European
01:30allies and his military intervention in Venezuela. The series of moves has resulted in significant
01:37unease among Europe's leaders who see the push to take control of the Arctic island as undermining the
01:43foundations of NATO. On Sunday, the UK, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden
01:50issued a joint statement saying Trump's actions over Greenland risk a dangerous downward spiral and
01:57undermine transatlantic relations. The gathering comes as Europe grapples with anemic economic growth
02:03and ever trigger happy Moscow on its eastern border and questions about the continent's ability to
02:09defend itself without full US security guarantees.
02:15The European Union is holding off from the anti-coercion instrument, also known as its so-called
02:23trade bazooka, in retaliation for US President Donald Trump's tariff threats over Greenland.
02:29During an urgent meeting in Brussels on Sunday, EU leaders said they want to first prioritize dialogue
02:35and diplomacy with the US. The bazooka is a powerful tool adopted in 2023 that allows the EU to punish
02:44unfriendly countries for economic blackmail by limiting trade licenses and shutting off access to the single
02:50market. The EU could, however, revive a 93 billion euro retaliation package targeting US products if Trump
03:00follows through on his threats to slap an additional 10% tariff on eight European countries.
03:05The package was prepared last year ahead of an EU-US trade deal that set a baseline tariff of 15% on
03:13most EU exports to the US, while slashing duties on many US industrial goods to zero.
03:19The UK, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden have issued a joint statement saying
03:28Trump's Greenland threats risk a dangerous downward spiral and undermine transatlantic relations.
03:34European Council President Antonio Costa has convened an extraordinary summit of EU leaders in the coming days.
03:41Thousands marched in Greenland's capital Nook across snow and ice on Saturday to take a stand against US President Donald Trump
03:53and his declared interest in taking over the island. Just as they finished their trek to the US consulate in adverse weather
04:01conditions, the news of Trump announcing a 10% tariff on eight European countries who defend Greenland's sovereignty broke.
04:07Trump on Saturday announced that beginning next month, all of Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, France, the UK and the Netherlands will face a tariff on their exported goods, which could rise to 25% by June.
04:22The US President said the tariff will apply until, quote, a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland.
04:30Greenlanders denounced the move, with some protesters slamming Trump for being arrogant and, quote, a very big bully.
04:38Trump has sought the takeover of the mineral-rich Arctic nation, part of the Danish throne, since his first term in office.
04:45Upon his return to the Oval Office, those calls were amplified, gaining more weight after a US military intervention in Venezuela earlier this month,
04:55which many countries say was a violation of international law.
04:58Portugal's far-right presidential candidate, André Ventura, placed second in the country's presidential election on Sunday,
05:10securing a place in a run-off next month against center-left Socialist Party candidate António José Segura.
05:18Ventura's strong showing was another milestone in Europe's shift to the far-right,
05:23as populist parties have gained a hold-on or edged closer to levels of power in recent years.
05:31With almost all votes counted, Segura secured around 31% of the voting share,
05:37while André Ventura, leader of the Chega party, captured 24%.
05:42The two will face off in the second-round ballot between the two top candidates on 8 February.
05:48It was the best result for a socialist candidate since 2001.
05:53Nine other candidates ran in what was the most hotly contested presidential election ever in Portugal,
06:00but none came close to the 50% required for a first-round victory.
06:06The winner will replace President Marcelo Rebello de Souza,
06:10who has served the maximum limit of two-year-five terms.
06:14Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia's readying itself to carry out strikes
06:23against the country's nuclear power plants in an attempt to freeze Kyiv into submission.
06:28Zelensky slammed Moscow for its continued attacks,
06:32accusing them of showing no willingness to end the war
06:34and deliberately dragging on diplomatic processes.
06:37Kyiv says more than 200 drones were fired across Ukraine,
06:42targeting Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhia, Odessa and other regions,
06:48killing two people and injuring dozens, including one child.
06:52Attacks as of late have increasingly been targeting energy sites,
06:56in what Ukraine says is a move intended to increase civilian suffering in the middle of winter.
07:01The repeated strikes caused thousands of homes to lose access to gas and electricity,
07:07prompting constant emergency repair and maintenance works.
07:11The attacks, according to Kyiv, have also escalated in severity,
07:15with this week alone seeing more than 1,300 drones, 1,000 guided aerial bombs,
07:20and over two dozen missiles, including ballistics, being fired across the border.
07:26The Ukrainian president called on allies to boost support to his embattled country
07:30and ramp up pressure on Russia to force him to the negotiating table.
07:39Trying to predict the future
07:41is a discouraging and hazardous occupation.
07:48In fact,
07:49it may not even exist at all.
07:53Oh, what is this
07:57I cannot see
08:00Many of the things we take for granted
08:10will one day pass away completely.
08:14I open the door of heaven and hell
08:19When that time comes
08:21men will no longer
08:23communicate.
08:25We may have diseases
08:33We may have diseases
08:34and
08:37barbarism
08:38The whole world
08:47will cease to make any sense
08:50I open the door of heaven and hell
08:57Look at the incredible changes
08:59We've experienced
09:02We've experienced
09:04And survived
09:05And yet even greater changes
09:11Are still to come
09:16Are you ready?
09:17Are you ready?
09:18Are you ready?
09:18What else is this?
09:23Vroom
09:24How else do you do?
09:28Where will it take over all the things
09:30We've been to call
09:33Ah Interestingly
09:33A long time

09:36For the animals
09:37Why
09:37How else do you?
09:38Have a great halал
09:38Let's go

09:44The water in the early stages of the baths was apparently not very clean.
09:56It's not surprising because the water was supplied by a water lifting machine, so you
10:00must imagine there was probably a slave running in a kind of hamster wheel, lifting up water
10:07buckets and supplying the baths with water.
10:20The building of an aqueduct is something very expensive, even at that time.
10:25You can compare it to building an airport in modern times.
10:30In Roman time, in early imperial time, the society was getting more richer and people,
10:39each city wanted to have an aqueduct.
10:48You must imagine that the aqueduct of Pompeii was probably fed from the so-called Aqua Augusta,
10:54and that's a giant aqueduct, it's about 120 kilometers long, running from the Apennines
11:00all the way to the Bay of Mycenaeum, west of Napoli, and it supplied something like 10 cities
11:07with water, with branches running from that central aqueduct.
11:30So you can see that there is a small part of the Bay of Mycenaeum.
11:33It's about 15 people.
11:34There is a lot of the space or spaces that have to be focused on, which would be represented
11:37directly by the Asian events, as if the living space is going around, which would be
11:42like the top of the Bay of Mycenaeum.
11:42By the way, it's about 17 people, which would help this be reduced.
11:47The water is not the water and the water.
11:51It may be removed from the west coast of the bay of mycenaeum.
