00:31A Turkish-owned cargo ship carrying grain in the Black Sea was attacked by at least one drone and ultimately
00:38sank after catching fire on Monday,
00:41reportedly killing the captain and another crew member, Romanian authorities said, as quoted by Euronews Romania.

01:31ne-au transmis autoritățile dintr-un moment în altul.

01:42sunt ambulanțe, sunt mașini smurt care urmează să-i preia apoi,
01:46să-i transporte la Spitalul Județean de Urgență Constanța pentru evaluări.
01:51La spital au ajuns și alți trei marinari care au fost recuperați în acea operație spectaculoasă de IGAV.
01:58Au ajuns la Spitalul din Constanța, sunt conștienți, sunt în stare stabilă.
02:05Trebuie să vă precizez că echipajul format din 13 membri, 10 azeri, 3 indieni,

02:33Russian officials are trying to calm fears after reports that a lab worker in Siberia died of plague.
02:4128-year-old Daria Shepilova passed away on Friday,
02:45with local media citing unnamed sources,
02:48saying she may have been infected after a test tube broke.
02:52Reports say more than 60 colleagues were isolated inside the institute,
02:56and several hospitals in the region were placed under quarantine.
03:01On Monday, the regional governor said an expert commission had found
03:05the cause of death was pneumonia of unknown origin,
03:08and the Kremlin urged journalists to rely on official statements.
03:39The European Commission says it is aware of the situation.
03:42Public health is always a priority for us,
03:45so we are in touch with our experts from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control,
03:53and we monitor very closely what is going on.
03:58Mnemonic plague is the most contagious form of the disease,
04:02with Russia having recorded isolated cases since 2014,
04:07all of which have been contained.
04:13Spain is heading back to the polls.
04:17Pedro Sánchez has decided to call early general elections after a weekend of reflection
04:22and following Congress' rejection of the two housing decrees proposed by his administration.
04:28During his address, Sánchez defended his government's record,
04:32and also acknowledged mistakes,
04:34as he directly appealed to citizens to decide the country's future.
04:39The early elections now open a new political battle,
04:42with housing set to become one of the major campaign issues.
05:03The decision also comes amid a wave of protests over the housing crisis,
05:08with demonstrations in dozens of cities and encampments
05:11continuing in various parts of Spain.
05:13This social unrest is now fully entering the electoral race leading up to November 29.
05:26Hundreds of French high schools remained shut on Monday
05:30after the French high school students' union has called for a major day of action on Tuesday.
05:36By late morning, around 413 institutions had been or were still subject to actions or disruptions,
05:43according to the Ministry of National Education.
05:47The ministry, which had reported 564 schools were affected at around midday on Friday last week,
05:54said the drop was due to sustained dialogue with high school students.
05:58Since the start of the movement in early September,
06:0124 schools had been burned or ransacked.
06:04In response to the violence seen in recent days,
06:08the government is now hoping to pass a bill
06:11to make those who are responsible for damaging public property
06:14pay for repairs themselves instead of drawing from taxpayer money.
06:23Brazil is heading to a presidential runoff
06:26after neither Senator Flavio Bolsonaro
06:28nor incumbent President Luís Inácio Lula da Silva
06:31secured a majority in Sunday's first round vote.
06:34With 99.8% of ballots counted,
06:38Bolsonaro had just over 56 million votes
06:40compared with around 53.7 million for Lula.
06:44The 45-year-old Bolsonaro,
06:46an ally of Donald Trump
06:47and son of former President Jair Bolsonaro,
06:50said the results showed that Brazil wanted change.
06:54Lula, seeking a fourth non-consecutive term,
06:57described the result as unexpected
06:58after hoping to win outright in the first round.
07:02Both candidates now have three weeks to appeal to moderate voters
07:06who backed other candidates.
07:08Third-place candidate Augusto Curry said he would endorse neither contender,
07:13while Ronaldo Callao and Renan Santos
07:15had previously taken the same position.
07:18Four years ago, Lula narrowly defeated Jair Bolsonaro for the presidency.
07:31The 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to U.S. psychiatrist and neurologist Karl Deseroth
07:37and his German colleagues Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for their work on optogenetics.
07:42So that was great to talk to them.
07:45The technique allows researchers to use light to control specific nerve cells
07:49and study how they shape memories, feelings and behavior in the living brain.
07:54The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute said their discoveries
07:58had laid the foundations for a new era in neuroscience.
08:04Nobel Committee Chair Per Svenningsen said optogenetics offer opportunities
08:08to map the brain in ways scientists could only once dream of.
08:15Optogenetics is now being used in laboratories around the world
08:18and experts call the findings critical to understanding autoimmune diseases
08:22such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
08:281.1 million euros in prize money will be shared between these three laureates
08:32and the award ceremony will take place on December 10th.
08:41The Euro has fallen to its lowest level against the dollar in 17 months
08:46touching $1.1161 after four straight weeks of losses.
08:52This comes as political and fiscal worries in France and Spain
08:57are reviving memories of the Eurozone debt crisis.
09:00In France, the gap between French and German 10-year bond yields
09:04is around 146 basis points,
09:07its biggest weekly jump in 17 years
09:10and the French 10-year yield is close to a 24-year high.
09:15Spain added to the political uncertainty on Monday
09:18when Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called a snap general election
09:22after the Parliament rejected two of his minority government's
09:26housing decrees on Friday.
09:28But even so, Spain's premium over Germany is around 65 basis points,
09:33less than half of France's.
09:36Fears of contagion are growing with Italian, Belgian and Greek bonds
09:41also hit last week.
09:43The European Central Bank has raised rates twice since June
09:46with inflation at 3.8%.
09:49ECB President Christine Lagarde called France's debt a serious matter
09:54but insisted this is not 2008 or 2011.
10:02The moon that lights up the monastery of La Rávida
10:05is the same one that lit the way for Christopher Columbus
10:08the day he walked through its doors.
10:10It's the same moon that today accompanies those
10:13who visit this huelva landmark in southern Spain.
10:16The discovery of the Americas has been recounted a thousand times,
10:20a historic feat that changed the course of the world.
10:24Columbus was seeking a faster route to the Indies to trade spices.
10:28Along the way, he stumbled upon an unknown continent
10:31that would fuse two cultures and turn Spain into an empire.
10:36After being rejected by the courts of Portugal, France and Italy,
10:40he returned to Castile and persisted with the Catholic monarchs,
10:43especially Isabella I, who, after making him wait for years
10:47because her efforts were focused on the Reconquista of Granada,
10:51finally granted the navigator the funds for the trip.
10:54But in Palos, Columbus knew no one.
10:57It was the Pintón brothers who recruited the crew for the caravels,
11:01Martin captained La Pinta,
11:03Vicente took command of La Niña,
11:06and Francisco served as navigator, also on La Pinta.
11:09From Palos de la Frontera, the expedition stopped in the Canary Islands
11:14before heading out onto the Atlantic.
11:16Weeks later, the crew sighted land,
11:19the island of Guanajani, which Columbus named San Salvador.
11:23Today, you can visit a replica of the ships that carried the sailors
11:27and explorers to a continent unknown to 15th century Europeans.
11:39in Caes Five, it was oxygen andassis,
11:39until it starts to see the ship.
11:39we've been subjected to the ship's bases
