00:00Secondary school pupils across France launched a fresh day of protest on Thursday despite
00:06government attempts to ease a crisis that has rocked the country for days. Children have
00:12blocked entrances to hundreds of schools across the country for more than a week, with squads
00:17of riot police deployed to control the situation, occasionally sparking violent clashes.
00:24Leader of the hard-left trans-embout party Jean-Luc Mélenchon on Thursday declared
00:30on social media the Bastille had been, quote, retaken after students staged demonstrations
00:36at Paris' infamous Place de la Bastille. While many students told Euronews they supported
00:43peaceful protests, others said they understood why violent outbursts occurred.
00:54He said that we have been forced even since years. Because the situation of degradation
01:00that they live and they have been forced, it has been years for the
01:04announcement and it is because there was no response that they were given.
01:08These are not revendications, they are not heard. It is normal that there are
01:10discussions. And face to the schools and youth who are in demand and
01:15revendications, they can't be a solution. They can't be a solution. They can't be a solution.
01:35According to the Interior Ministry, some 71,500 people took part in Thursday's protests,
01:42with around 24,500 in Paris alone.
01:46France's Education Ministry said some 375 schools were fully or partially closed for
01:52the day.
01:57UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Thursday held one-on-one talks with Chancellor Friedrich
02:02Mertz, focusing on cyber security and hybrid threats from Russia in what is his first official
02:09visit to Germany.
02:10Burnham was received with full military honours at the Chancellery in Berlin following his
02:16arrival.
02:21The two leaders formally signed off on a German-British friendship treaty struck in 2025 that commits
02:29both countries to closer cooperation on defence, security, science, technology and economic growth.
02:36Also known as the Chesentine Treaty, the 27-page document lays out a 17-point action plan for
02:44closer cooperation in the post-Brexit era with the UK no longer a part of the EU.
02:50We are announcing today collaboration on a number of levels, particularly in relation to defence
02:59and security, a new partnership countering hybrid attacks.
03:04This is something that the UK and Germany are facing on a regular basis and it makes sense
03:12to face these threats together and to support each other in countering them, as well as countering
03:20interference in our democratic processes as well.
03:25The Berlin visit comes as Burnham faces questions about the UK's future relationship with the European
03:32Union.
03:37U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned that the war between Russia and Ukraine is
03:42at a dangerous stalemate that could lead to further escalation.
03:47Speaking during a stopover in Portugal, Rubio said escalation by either side could turn the
03:52war into a much broader regional conflict.
03:56His comments came after Ukraine accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians in Kramatorsk.
04:03Ukrainian authorities said 30 people were killed when two buses were struck in the front-line
04:08city on Thursday.
04:11President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wowed the attack will not go unanswered.
04:19Rubio said stalemates were particularly dangerous because either side could be tempted to escalate in an attempt
04:25to break the impasse.
04:29He said efforts towards a negotiated settlement has so far failed, but Washington would continue
04:34trying.
04:42The EU is urging Russia to release information about the suspected plague death of a lab
04:47worker at an anti-plague research institute in Siberia.
04:51Let me say for the third time this week in the press room, Russia should make information about the plague
04:59available as soon as possible.
05:01This is what we need.
05:03We have had yesterday meeting with the WHO and also WHO is seeking clarifications, seeking more information.
05:12We need information from Russia.
05:14Russian authorities have downplayed the incident, saying the 28-year-old woman had died of pneumonia
05:20of a known origin.
05:21Local media suggested she could have contracted the plague after breaking a test tube at the
05:26laboratory.
05:27The United States said Russia is not providing much information about the death, despite their
05:32requests.
05:39Lawmakers in Kosovo elected economist and academic Justyna Shiroka-Pula as the country's new president
05:45in a marathon late-night parliament session on Wednesday.
05:49The election came just moments before a constitutional deadline that would have forced a snap election.
05:55It marks a significant moment in a political crisis in the small Balkan nation that has caused legislative
06:00deadlock for 19 months and two early parliamentary elections.
06:05Pula secured 81 votes in the 120-seat strong parliament during its extraordinary session.
06:12Thousands gathered outside the building demanding the passing of a law to limit the powers of a special
06:17court in The Hague set up to prosecute war crimes committed by the Kosovo Liberation Army during the
06:23country's 1998 War of Independence from Serbia.
06:27Her election came after over two weeks of protests following a verdict by the court convicting four of Kosovo's
06:33wartime rebel leaders of war crimes, including the country's former president Hashim Taci, who were sentenced to
06:40between 13 and 25 years in prison.
06:42The legislation was adopted by lawmakers prior to Pula's election, which now awaits her presidential endorsement
06:50to come into effect.
06:52Shiro Kapula served as the head of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo before being elected to the
06:58largely
06:58ceremonial role of president, where she's the third female to hold that office.
07:03She was a last-minute candidate backed by the ruling self-determination movement and the largest opposition party,
07:09the Democratic Party of Kosovo.
07:16Europe risks weakening its industries if the UK is shut off from European supply chains as a result of the
07:22EU's Made in Europe policy.
07:24The UK's Minister for European Relations has told Euronews.
07:28Falconer said that maintaining open supply chains was strongly in the EU and UK's interests.
07:34If we were to fracture that industrial base, that would simply mean a weaker Europe, both in the UK and
07:40in the EU.
07:40The EU wants to shield its domestic industries from unfair foreign competition by introducing a preference
07:47for European manufacturers in public contracts.
07:50The proposal is seen as a response to China's state-subsidized competition,
07:54but opinions are divided over what qualifies as European and whether non-EU companies
08:00can be treated on an equal footing with their EU counterparts.
08:03The European industrial base is shared with the second largest export market
08:09for the EU.
08:11We're the largest recipient of new EU vehicles, many of which are partially constructed in the UK.
08:17It would not be in either of our interests to see new barriers arising in our economic relations.
08:25Last week, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham raised his concerns over the scheme
08:30to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during the UN General Assembly in New York.
08:39Chris is a survivor.
08:41She survived child sexual abuse.
08:43She survived rapes of multiple men.
08:45She survived a suicide attempt when she was 12, and she survived the state's attempt to execute her.
08:51She deserves answers about what was done to her, and the people of Tennessee deserve those answers, too.
08:57On Monday night, it was our understanding that Krista was brain dead
09:01and that life support would be removed the next day.
09:05But on Tuesday, to the shock of everyone, including me, including her team, and including the medical team,
09:12Krista woke up and began talking.
09:14I do not have an explanation for what happened between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
09:20But what we do know is that Krista has a long road to recovery.
09:24I was not in the room when she woke up, so I don't want to speculate too much.
09:29Well, our understanding was the first thing she said was, where am I and who are you?
09:34She is very aware that the state tried to execute her.
09:38And, again, I don't want to say what she remembers and what she doesn't remember at this point,
09:43because I think that's evolving, and I want to be very, very careful of that.
09:48But she is very aware of what they did to her up to a point, and that's the best I
09:56can do.
10:03Canadian poet, essayist, and translator Anne Carson has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2026
10:10for her bold and inventive œuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition,
10:16has created new forms for contemporary literature.
10:20It is through such often unexpected literary constellations
10:24that Carson has broken away from lyrical poetry bound to the narrative self
10:30and inspired new forms of contemporary literature.
10:37This method of writing leads to playful and ironic works that move not only between classical and modern poetry,
10:46but also between different genre and art forms.
10:49Among Carson's best-known works are her 1986 debut, Eros the Bittersweet,
10:56a look at the pleasure and pain of desire in ancient Greek literature.
11:01Her 1998 work, often heralded as her greatest autobiography of read, a novel in verse,
11:08a queer coming-of-age story that reworks a Greek poem about Heracles.
11:12By winning the Nobel Prize, Carson becomes only the 19th woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
