00:30Germany's foreign minister has sharply criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin
00:34for stepping up his brutal war of aggression in Ukraine, pledging more aid for Kyiv.
00:41Joan Waddeful's comments during a visit to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on Saturday
00:46came after a series of Russian bombings that have killed nearly 30 people in Ukraine since Friday.

01:28On Saturday, Zelenskyy said he discussed the creation of a European anti-ballistic system
01:33with former U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg.
01:37Meanwhile, local authorities say Russian strikes on Ukraine killed at least seven people early Saturday.
01:46Wildfires across Europe are exposing a potentially deadly threat beneath the landscape, unexploded bombs and mines left from World Wars
01:541 and 2.
01:56Some weapons have exploded in intense heat, with blasts reported in France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.
02:02In Belgium, fires have spread across former battlefields, including the High Fence, where emergency services have been adapting to the
02:10risk of buried munitions.
02:12Beyond the immediate threat to firefighters, Belgium's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service responds to more than 3,000 calls every year
02:20and disposes of up to 250 tons of wartime munitions.
02:25Climate change is increasing the risk, researchers say, as extreme heat and drought can trigger explosives or expose weapons hidden
02:32underground.
02:34Drought has also revealed weapons in rivers and lakes.
02:38In Slovakia, falling water exposed two naval mines, while bombs emerged from receding waters in Hungary and Germany.

02:56A total of 18 migrants were buried on Friday at the Muslim cemetery of Sidi Mbarek, according to Spanish media
03:03reports.
03:04Spanish authorities recorded 82 deaths on their side of the border.
03:09Beyond Friday's burials, more migrants were expected to be buried over the weekend in the coming days at a rate
03:15of around 10 per day.
03:17The migrants were buried according to Muslim rights, with bodies placed facing Mecca and covered with soil.
03:24Spanish and Moroccan authorities have used fingerprints and DNA samples to identify victims.
03:29However, reports differ on the number of identified victims since relatives have struggled to cross into Sota to provide samples.
03:37None of the victims has so far been transferred to Morocco, which has refused to accept them.

03:52U.S. President Donald Trump said the White House ballroom will cost nearly $400 million and be funded entirely by
04:00private donors and companies.
04:01U.S. President Donald Trump is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the ballroom.
04:06And it's all from people like me and great companies that are putting it up.
04:11It's going to be close to $400 million.
04:14And it's all paid for by patriots and patriotic companies, big companies.
04:20I'll name the companies probably over the next couple of weeks, but I want to ask if they mind.
04:27And really, most of them have said you could use my name gladly.
04:30So that's all money, no taxpayer money for the ballroom at all.
04:34The Supreme Court has allowed construction to continue for now.
04:37The temporary order came hours before lower court rulings would have forced a halt to above-ground construction of the
04:44project
04:44because Trump didn't get congressional approval.
