02:41The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, is under scrutiny from EU watchdogs for continuing to serve clients in the bloc
02:50month after it was told to win down its European business, according to the Financial Times.
02:55Unlicensed companies were expected to take immediate steps to win down their EU operations from the 1st of July
03:02and to serve customers only to help them transfer or sell their crypto holdings.
03:06Binance failed to secure a new crypto license this past summer.
03:10The EU's market's watchdog and national regulators in countries including France, Germany and Greece
03:16are now examining how Binance uses reverse solicitation.
03:19The FT reported the legal exemption allows companies based outside the EU to serve customers in the bloc as long
03:27as
03:27those customers seek out the service entirely on their own initiative.
03:31In responding to a question from Euronews, Binance insisted that it complies with the laws in the countries in which
03:37it operates.
03:38We are using blockchain technology for transacting.
03:43Greek Prime Minister Kyriekos Mitsotakis is calling on the European Commission to take action in giving national governments
03:50more fiscal room to shield households and businesses from a renewed energy price shock, according to a letter seen by
03:58Euronews.
04:00Mitsotakis said that Europe's latest energy crisis is lasting longer than expected,
04:05threatening to turn it into both an economic and political challenge for Athens.
04:10To help families, the government has been handing out hefty cash aid for energy bills, fuel and farming.
04:17At the same time, Mitsotakis has slashed income and property taxes to please voters and jumpstart businesses
04:24ahead of parliamentary elections slated for 2027.
04:29Greece is proposing that temporary national measures to support consumers and companies
04:34could, up to a certain limit, be excluded from the EU's net expenditure indicator.
04:40It also proposes that governments be able to account for additional VAT revenues
04:45generated by unexpectedly high inflation linked to energy prices.
04:50If the European Commission considers these measures,
04:54it would give governments more fiscal space to subsidize or otherwise support citizens and businesses
05:00without the same pressure from EU fiscal rules.
05:07AI agents attempted to hack U.S. and Canadian government websites,
05:11according to non-profit research lab Transluse,
05:14which claims to have evidence that Google and OpenAI's agents were responsible.
05:19Researchers documented incidents targeting the U.S. Department of Education and Library
05:23and Archives Canada, while agents were searching for publicly available information.
05:27In the U.S. case, agents made more than 200,000 requests
05:32and attempted to test a database vulnerability.
05:35In Canada, 13 of 899 requests contained payloads designed to test the website's security.
05:42None of the attempts succeeded in accessing information that was not already publicly available.
05:48Transluse said the incidents appeared to form part of a broader pattern
05:52in which AI agents use aggressive or gray area techniques to retrieve information.
05:58Evidence suggested Google-linked agents were involved in the U.S. incident,
06:02while Transluse said it could not confidently attribute the Canadian attempts to OpenAI.
06:08Canada's cybersecurity agency said there was no indication government systems had been compromised.
06:17A U.S. death row inmate was taken to hospital late Wednesday
06:21after an attempt to execute her by two lethal injections failed.
06:26Tennessee officials were unable to put Crystal Gale Pike to death for a 1995 murder
06:32after administering two doses of a lethal drug in what death penalty experts have described as an unprecedented failure.
06:40According to her attorneys and witnesses, Pike was alive and loudly snoring
06:45after the attempted lethal injection and was taken by ambulance from the prison.
06:50We left at, well, when they told us to leave at 8.53, Crystal Pike was still breathing.
06:58They did two separate rounds of pentobarbital, which I've never seen before.
07:03The protocol does say that they should do a second round if the person is still alive.
07:08Now 50, Pike had been scheduled for execution for the killing she committed at age 18
07:14and would have been the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years.
07:20An appeals court stopped the lethal injection just an hour before it was to start,
07:25and hours later, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned that stay.
07:30Following the failure, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee altered the remaining execution for the rest of the year.
07:36Lee said he had ordered a, quote,
07:40comprehensive third-party review to determine exactly what occurred.
07:45It was the second time this year Tennessee has been unable to carry out an execution.
07:56Japan has toughened requirements for foreigners wanting to obtain permanent residency on Thursday
08:01as part of Prime Minister Senai Takashi's push to tighten immigration controls.
08:07Under new rules that will come into effect in stages,
08:10foreign residents wishing to stay in Japan permanently
08:13will have to prove their annual income is above average
08:16and they can carry casual conversations in Japanese.
08:20Application fees are set to rise 20-fold from Thursday.
08:24Even though Japan has a rapidly aging population
08:26and is suffering labor shortages in many sectors,
08:30opposition to immigration is growing,
08:32prompting a push by Takashi for tighter regulations on foreign nationals.
08:36Programs to attract international workers
08:38have fueled public worry and anti-immigration sentiment.
08:42Food's claims have circulated widely on social media,
08:45including that a significant portion of welfare payments in Japan goes to foreigners.
08:51Experts and many business leaders warn, however,
08:54that Japan must welcome more foreign workers to sustain itself.
09:02To Kenny West's concerts due to take place in St. Petersburg this month have been cancelled,
09:08with most artists having avoided performing in the country since the start of Russia's war in Ukraine.
09:13The controversial rapper would have been the biggest Western artist performing in Russia since 2022.
09:19Moscow-based organizers say agency confirmed the cancellation and said refunds for purchase tickets would be available.
09:28Gazprom Arena had earlier said it would not host the rapper as no rental agreement had been signed.
09:34Russian media outlets said the cancellation was decided following a call from Moscow.
09:39Some Russian politicians wishing to get rid of any Western influence had opposed his concerts,
09:45with conservative Russian lawmaker Vitaly Milonov suggesting West should perform traditional Russian songs instead.
09:52Conversely, some Russian politicians had held the announcement of West's visit as a victory against anti-Russian hysteria.
09:59The artist was dropped by his talent agency and fashion brands after making anti-Semitic comments and declaring himself a
10:07Nazi.
10:10Mr. President, we're utterly unprotected against a disaster of this magnitude.
10:14What's our worst case scenario?
10:16$18 trillion, sir.
10:21Is that all the bad fucking news?
10:23There's the nuclear race, too.
10:26Fuck me!
10:30I think it's a film that I did for the young generation, honestly,
10:33because I think there's a lot of young people.
10:35I have a daughter and a son that are very young,
10:38and I think the times are so complicated and so, yeah, reality is so big now,
10:44that complex, that it's hard to articulate it.
10:47And I think this film makes them feel what they feel without being preached.
10:52It's trying to confront us.
10:54It's trying to shake us out of our slumber,
10:56not just with what it's saying, but how it's saying.
10:59And it hasn't quite been a film that's as inventive and layered and peculiar and absurd and playful as this
11:09for a long time.
11:11But it happened.
11:12Mother Nature, she loved to win it!
11:15You're gonna save the world.
11:18I fell in love with it towards the fight!
11:23Was he okay?
11:25Mr. President.
11:26Mr. President?
11:28Fuck this iceberg!
11:29Let's dance!
11:34Help me shape the story.
11:35They already know the story.
11:36They know the facts.
11:38The story is yet to be told.
