00:07to France in 18 years.
00:11Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that Donald Trump had told him he would grant Ukraine a license to build Patriot missiles.
00:20French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed Pope Leo XIV to the Élysée Palace on Friday at the start of the Paniff's
00:27four-day visit to France,
00:28the first official state visit by a pope in 18 years.
00:32Macron told the pope that his visit offered hope to people confronted with, quote,
00:37the spectacles of the world's miseries.
00:39Turning to artificial intelligence, Macron said humans must retain their rightful place as technology advances.
00:46The French leader called on international oversight to ensure the most advanced systems mankind has ever created
00:53are not controlled by a small number of powerful actors or get used as instruments to oppress people.
00:59The Paniff echoed a similar sentiment, warning that a paradise of machines could undermine humanity
01:05and urged France to use its influence to promote peace both in Europe and around the world.
01:10In a challenge to Paris, the pope also rejected the belief that nuclear weapons guarantee security,
01:16noting that they fuel a new and difficult-to-control arms race and urged the country to resort to dialogue.
01:27The Pope is in Paris.
01:29To some, it may not sound like extraordinary news, but to others, it's been a visit 18 years in the
01:35making.
01:37The event is not just exciting to Parisians, but also tourists who are enthused to learn of his presence.
01:45We're from Italy, so we're very close to the Christian Warp, and we like the idea that the pope is
01:50here,
01:50and we have a chance to see him.
02:11The Paniff will be in the city for three more days with a packed schedule ahead,
02:15which will see him engage with local communities, deliver addresses, and pray with the faithful.
02:20The Paniff will be in the city for three more days, and we'll be in the city for three more
02:26days.
02:27The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that his US counterpart Donald Trump had told him
02:34he would grant Ukraine a license to build Patriot missiles.
02:37The President Volodymyr Zelensky and Trump met on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York earlier
03:00this week.
03:00Kiev has long asked allies to supply more interceptors and has been pushing for a license to produce Patriot missiles
03:07domestically
03:08to counter Russian ballistic missile attacks.
03:11At a NATO summit in Ankara in July, Trump had said he would grant Ukraine the right to make Patriot
03:17missiles.
03:18We're going to give a license to you to make Patriots. That's pretty cool, right?
03:23Very.
03:23This way you can't complain that we're not giving them enough.
03:26He said, make them yourself.
03:28We haven't informed the company of that yet, but that'll work out all right.
03:33You know, sure they'll be thrilled.
03:36He appeared to walk back at Promise in late July, telling a cabinet meeting he had not agreed to it.
03:46European countries have agreed to release a 6.6 billion euros program of military aid for Ukraine
03:53that had stalled since spring 2023, when Hungary imposed a veto that paralyzed the initiative.
04:00The agreement at the political level was reached on Friday during a meeting of the Political and Security Committee in
04:07Brussels.
04:07The so-called European Peace Facility was designed to partially reimburse weapons and ammunition that member states donate to Ukraine.
04:16But in May 2023, Hungary, under then-Prime Minister Viktor Orban, slapped a veto that stopped the scheme dead in
04:24its tracks.
04:25The deadlock was broken this year when Orban lost the parliamentary elections in April
04:30and Prime Minister Peter Magyar came to power.
04:33The news comes at a precarious time for Ukraine, which is staring down a 23.67 billion euros shortfall in
04:42its Ministry of Defence.
04:47Saudi Arabia says it has intercepted ballistic missiles fired by the Uthis in Yemen
04:53after issuing warnings for several regions, including Mecca.
04:57According to the Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen's government since 2015 against the Uthis,
05:04six ballistic missiles had been intercepted, torting attacks on Taif and Yambul.
05:10The attacks came as fighting raged in Yemen between the Uthis and Riyadh-backed government forces,
05:17killing dozens of people on both sides.
05:20They are also the latest in a series of escalating Uthi attacks since July,
05:26when renewed hostilities shattered a years-long truce and embroiled Yemen in the wider Middle East war.
05:34Meanwhile, Iran's President Masoud Peshek-Skan denied that Tehran was directing Uthi battle plans,
05:41and with pressure mounting on Saudi Arabia,
05:44French President Emmanuel Macron said Paris planned to, quote,
05:48send military assets, raiders, and defense systems to protect the Saudi oil terminal of Yambu.
05:56The infrastructure around Yambu, which serves as Saudi Arabia's primary crude export terminal on the Red Sea,
06:04is connected to its oil-producing regions, near the Gulf Coast by the East-West Pipeline,
06:09and forms a key node in the kingdom's vast network of energy installations.
06:21The summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping
06:25was largely about symbolism and finding ways to manage rivalry between the two leaders.
06:31Ian Lesser, a political scientist at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, told Jeroenius,
06:37It was all about the symbolism, and the symbolism really, in a sense, is the substance to manage rivalry.
06:45China, you know, can come away from this perceiving that it was treated as an equal,
06:51and President Trump can also come away with what he could describe as a success,
06:55but also, you know, looking over his shoulder at the American political scene,
06:59where, you know, tougher attitudes on China are there on both sides of the aisle, Democrats and Republicans.
07:05Lesser also said that despite the seemingly positive climate,
07:09Xi Jinping's first visit to the U.S. in a decade leaves a lot of unresolved issues,
07:14including on technology and trade.
07:17He sees the extension of the trade war truce for another few months as something of a success,
07:22while acknowledging it also leaves a lot of work to be done.
07:28Italy's government has adopted a law banning face coverings in school
07:32and limiting the number of foreign students in classrooms.
07:35The measure, announced by Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney earlier this week,
07:40will take effect in September next year.
07:42It prohibits students from taking part in school activities, quote,
07:54The law does not explicitly refer to the Islamic burqa or niqab,
07:58but Maloney did so when announcing the measure,
08:01saying that in Italy, no one should force a girl to hide herself.
08:05The burqa covers the entire body, including the face,
08:09while the niqab covers the face but leaves the eyes visible.
08:12Both are distinct from the hijab, however, which covers the hair and neck,
08:16but leaves the face and hands uncovered.
08:19The garments are uncommon in Italy,
08:21with estimates cited by Italian press suggesting that around 500 to 600 women wear them nationwide.
08:27The law also introduces a 30% limit on certain foreign students in first-year classes.
08:34According to Italy's education ministry,
08:36more than 4,000 of the country's 52,000 schools have more than 30% non-Italian students,
08:42mainly in the north.
08:47Serifos is one of the most beautiful islands in the Ciclades.
08:51Behind its thriving tourism industry lies a history that remains largely unknown to most visitors.
08:57The island has been an important mining center since ancient times.
09:00In the southwest, visitors can still see rusty railway tracks, machinery, tools, wagons and loading platforms.
09:06To highlight and preserve these memories,
09:08the Serifos French Association launched the project
09:11The Living History of the Serifos Mines,
09:13supported by the Cycladic Identity Program of the Museum of Cycladic Art.
09:39The mines at Megalo Livadi are a historic site as the miners stayed there their bloody strike in 1916.
09:45They were demanding the introduction of an 8-hour working day
09:48and more dignified working conditions from the German employers, the Gromman Company.
10:10The aim of the project, the living history of the Serifos Mines,
10:14is to preserve the intangible cultural heritage that has shaped the island's history over the centuries.
10:33At a special event, former miners and descendants of mining families share their stories and memories with the public.
10:40The Serifos Mines has taken over the years of the
10:56It is not a matter of anything for the river,
10:58because the river had to be a small place,
11:02if it was a safe land from then.
11:05There is no family of metallurgy in the Sérifo
11:10who doesn't have any trauma or any kind of something.
11:13The metallurgy was a gift for the land.
11:17It kept the people here in the river,
11:19because the metallurgy was the labor and the agricultural.
11:24It was a struggle for the people here in the Sérifo
11:29where they had to be sold by the Sérifo
11:30who had to be sold by the Kromanei,
11:31the former workers who took the metallurgy,
11:36who had to be sold, who had to be sold,
11:38who had to be sold, who had to be sold,
11:40and in the end, they had to be sold.
11:42In the end of the year of the Sérifo
