00:05but fell short of the seats needed for a majority.

00:40Germany's far-right AFD won a commanding victory in Sunday's Saxony and Halt election,
00:45but fell short of the seats needed for a majority.
00:48Final results gave the party 43.8% of the vote and 39 seats in the 83-member state parliament.
00:55The CDU came a distant second with 17.2% and 15 seats.
01:00The Social Democrats, Greens and Left Party each won eight seats,
01:03leaving AFD's opponents with a difficult task of forming a stable government without it.
01:08AFD candidate for governor Ulrich Sigmund said the party had written history and had a clear mandate to govern.
01:15The result marked a major setback for Chancellor Friedrich Marx,
01:18whose CDU had led Saxony and Halt for 24 years.
01:22The party has campaigned on tougher migration policies and lifting sanctions against Russia,
01:27although foreign policy remains outside the powers of German states.
01:31Turnout reached 77.8%, one of the highest levels in recent elections.
01:43The President of the European Commission has announced a 200 million euros investment package for Greenland
01:49in a bid to deepen ties with the Danish autonomous territory coveted by U.S. President Donald Trump.
01:54During a two-day visit to the Capitol, Ursula von der Leyen presented the initiative called the EU-Greenland Partnership
02:02Package.
02:02It's 200 million euros of new investments for Greenland this year and next year.
02:10And this partnership package focuses mainly on three domains or strategic priorities.
02:15We call them the big C's, connectivity, clean energy, critical raw materials.
02:25Von der Leyen has backed Greenland's sovereignty and territorial integrity amid significant pressure exerted
02:31by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly expressed his desire to annex the territory.
02:38Greenland's future is for the people of Greenland and Denmark to decide.
02:42No one else. Territorial integrity, sovereignty, the inviolability of borders, these are fundamental principles of international law.
02:55Trump claimed earlier this year that Washington needed to control Greenland for national security reasons,
03:01but appeared to rule out annexing it by force.
03:09Europe is recovering after a summer of heat waves and droughts that have devastated crops
03:14and left many farmers facing huge financial losses.
03:18To help farmers cope, the European Commission is urging member states to make use of flexibilities in the EU's farm
03:24subsidy program.
03:25But the European Commissioner for Agriculture admits no new money will be available for farmers.
03:30The farmers know exactly that the cash is limited. We will, of course, have for the next year.
03:37We have the agricultural reserve, 450 million that we can use.
03:40But first, I think we have to address the short-term problems.
03:44And there is as well problems coming up with fodder, for example, for our animals.
03:49Instead, Hansen asks consumers for a show of solidarity.
03:52We need as well to speak about solidarity in what is produced currently because often the consumers want the perfect
04:01apple, the perfect potato.
04:02This might not be the case this year.
04:04And as well, retailers expect a certain quality.
04:08And I think there we need to think differently as well to find new solutions so that the product can
04:13still be sold.
04:15Hansen said the European continent remained a net exporter of agricultural goods and that he wasn't concerned over food availability
04:22in Europe.
04:29The UK government branded hundreds of masked demonstrators as thuggish after they blocked roads in an attempt to prevent asylum
04:37seekers leaving Portsmouth on Sunday.
04:40The protest came after around 140 migrants arrived by small boat as tensions over channel crossings continued to mount.
04:48We condemned the intimidating and thuggish behaviour we saw in Portsmouth, a spokesperson for the UK's home office said in
04:56a statement.
04:57Sunday's protest followed a similar demonstration on Saturday when masked crowds blocked access to the port of Dover.
05:05French authorities said the vessel carrying the 140 migrants had departed from the Baie de Seine in Normandy,
05:13an unusually long and risky route compared with the boats that typically depart from closer to Calais and land near
05:20Dover.
05:21The unrest comes despite recent data suggesting crossings are slowing.
05:26The home office said channel arrivals in August fell to their lowest level since records began in 2018,
05:33with migrants' numbers at their lowest since 2020.
05:37The average number of passengers per boat has been rising in recent months.
05:42However, overall 16,513 migrants have crossed the channel by small boats so far this year.
05:51It is a small fraction of all arrivals in Britain, which total over 800,000,
05:57most of which come through legal routes on student or work visa.
06:06United Nations Human Rights Chief Volker Turk demanded accountability for the rising number of people dying while in U.S.
06:14immigration custody.
06:15With 23 people dying while in ICE custody so far this year,
06:19Turk also urged Washington to halt deportations to places where people face irreparable harm.
06:26He also expressed concern over the reported plans to provide ICE agents with electric shock gloves.
06:34There needs to be accountability for these deaths.
06:37I am concerned that plans to equip immigration agents with electric shock gloves
06:44will increase the violence associated with their operations.
06:48A joint report by Human Rights Watch and Physicians for Human Rights in June
06:53said that the rate of people dying while in ICE custody has reached its highest level in over a decade.
07:00ICE has also faced criticism over a series of fatal shootings during enforcement operations.
07:07U.S. President Donald Trump has made combating illegal immigration a top priority of his second term,
07:14with authorities rounding up thousands of people and expanding detention centers.
07:23French billionaire Olivier Bouygues arrived at court on Monday in the French city of Orleans,
07:28where he's on trial, along with five other people,
07:31for the illegal hunting of protected species on his private estate in the Salonnier Forest.
07:36The landmark trial is expected to last two days and is unprecedented in French justice.
07:41The investigation alleges that Bouygues' hunting grounds facilitated the illegal targeting of protected bird species,
07:48which include harriers, kestrels, and common buzzards.
07:52The lawsuit, brought forward by the League for the Protection of Birds, or LPO,
07:57is seeking up to seven years in prison and a fine of €750,000.
08:03Bouygues was taken into custody last year after police, acting on an anonymous tip,
08:08executed a search warrant of his hunting grounds, where they uncovered mass graves of the protected animals.
08:14They also found weapons on the multi-billionaire's property, which have been outlawed since 1995.
08:20The LPO says the trial should serve as a warning to France's elite,
08:24and a reminder that they're not above the law.
08:30At least five people were killed and five more were injured after an Amazon cargo plane overshot a runway
08:36at Miami International Airport on Sunday night, crashing into vehicles on a nearby road.
08:42Videos circulating online showed the plane lying on its belly after coming to rest beside a roadway near two trucks,
08:48appearing largely intact, despite officials earlier responding to fires after the crash.
08:54Local officials say more than 60 Miami Fire Department units were mobilized to respond to the scene
08:59after the collision sent plumes of thick black smoke into the sky.
09:03Three of those injured in the crash sustained critical wounds,
09:07while two others were hospitalized with less severe injuries.
09:10The plane, arriving from San Juan in Puerto Rico, crashed around 2 p.m. local time,
09:16prompting the busy airport's closure for much of the afternoon.
09:18It's not yet clear if the plane, a Boeing 767 operated by Amazon Prime Air,
09:25suffered a mechanical failure as it was landing.
09:28Authorities are also investigating whether harsh weather conditions played a role,
09:32as ongoing thunderstorms limiting visibility, coupled with wind gusts of close to 50 kilometers per hour,
09:38were recorded at the time of landing.
09:43Nepal held a day of mourning on Monday for victims of devastating floods that struck on August 26th.
09:49It was the 13th day since the disaster, which killed more than 1,300 people in Nepal and Tibet
09:55and left around 5,000 missing, according to Nepal's disaster management agency.
10:01Families carried out mourning rituals, while some performed symbolic funerals for relatives whose bodies had not been found.
10:09Search efforts continued, particularly at 12 hydropower projects,
10:13where authorities said around 900 workers were missing and roughly 500 were believed trapped in tunnels.
10:21Specialist teams from India, China, South Korea and the United States joined the search through debris,
10:27damaged structures and tunnels.
10:28Some rescue experts described the operation as an unprecedented challenge,
10:33while the Nepal army said rescuers were continuing searches on the ground by air and inside tunnels.
10:47At least seven people have been killed in the Indian capital, New Delhi,
10:51after a five-story building, which housed the boys' hostel, collapsed, officials confirmed on Monday.
10:57The building is located in the densely populated neighborhood of Satya Nikitan,
11:02home to many private student accommodations near a Delhi University campus.
11:07Rescue crews from India's disaster response agency have been on-site since the building collapsed on Sunday
11:13and are using tools to clear the debris and sniffer dogs to locate humans.
11:18Local officials say 12 people have so far been pulled from the rubble,
11:22after about 80 percent of the debris was removed, with only the basement left to clear.
11:28Residents say the building, which is 55 years old,
11:31was under renovation for months and reopened to tenants despite work not being completed.
11:37Authorities say they'll launch a probe to examine the reasons behind the collapse,
11:40which has been a recurring issue in Indian construction over the last few decades.
11:44at the beginning of an ambulance and the intensifies the fence to your face.
11:45The woman is a man for you and I want to live in the future.
11:45We'll be right up again.
11:45The man is the man for you.
11:47We'll be right back in the home with the house.
