00:31The battle for the next seven-year EU budget took center stage on Thursday afternoon
00:36as leaders split into opposing camps, sparred over its size, revenues and priorities.
00:42The battle is split into two main camps,
00:45the frugals who want steep cuts versus the friends of cohesion who oppose them.
00:51The discussions lasted longer than expected,
00:54indicating that the divisions are so entrenched that the goal of reaching a unanimous deal by December
00:59seems to be in serious trouble.
01:01Meanwhile, the debate on energy prices showed more division,
01:05as leaders sought to find a middle ground between giving relief to consumers
01:08and staying on track with the green energy transition.

01:25to discuss support for Ukraine amid fears that the Trump administration may be withdrawing support.

02:00But actually, you know, we have our own requests for Russia because they have started this war.
02:07Clearly, you know, the message is there that, you know, you need to talk to the Europeans as well.
02:12U.S. President Donald Trump has recently announced a diesel deal and energy ceasefire
02:18under which Russia would supply 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and global markets.
02:24The diesel deal is definitely a gift to Putin.
02:28The question is what is he giving in return?
02:32What we see, he's actually increasing the attacks on the civilian and civilian infrastructure.
02:37The ceasefire that was also announced is not really working on the Russian side.
02:42The White House reiterated that international pressure should be placed on the aggressor to end the war
02:47rather than on the victim to surrender.

07:03at the protest in Tirana.
07:08A group of protesters from the housing movement, who have been camping out in one of Porto's largest squares since
07:14Saturday,
07:16have reported a violent and unjustified police intervention in the early hours of Thursday.
07:22The movement says at least 37 people were injured, two of them seriously, after police charged the crowd overnight to
07:28disperse it.
07:32On Monday, police removed around 50 tents, with the city council claiming the encampment was unlawfully occupying public space,
07:39leaving the protesters to sleep out in the open.
07:44Participants put the tents back up last night, and they were once again removed by the authorities.
07:51With police deployed at the scene, the protesters formed a human chain.
07:55According to the authorities, some participants resisted police action,
07:59which is said to have led to a more heavy-handed intervention on site.

08:09and which has authorisation to protest until 25 October, has called a new rally for this Thursday evening.

09:20A small club playing among Europe's best.
09:23The city of Torres Vedras, just under an hour from Lisbon, is buzzing with excitement over achievements of its local
09:30club,
09:31following its victory in Norway against Lillestrom.
09:34Terence makes its home debut against Sunderland.
09:38At the Torres Vedras market, support for the local team is palpable.
09:42Many still can't believe that the club, which plays in Portugal's second division, is competing in European competitions.
09:49I've never expected this.
09:51Maybe it's never going to happen again. I don't know.
09:54I think so.
09:55But this is an incredible feat.
09:58For the city, for the club, and for the athletes, it's wonderful.
10:13Against all odds, Terence also won the men's Portuguese Cup last season, defeating Sporting in the final.
10:21A trophy on display at the club's museum is a source of pride for the town.
10:25I brought a lot of people here at the museum who had never come.
10:28And also people who already know and always come to see the news.
10:32They're very anxious to see the table when they come.
10:35Of course, yes.
10:36And also for our club, which we have, in addition to the stadium, we have one here.
10:40There's a lot of people who are interested to equip themselves to support the Torres Vedras.
10:47At the stadium store, merchandise related to the European League campaign is selling like hotcakes.
10:55The hope never dies.
10:57The hope never dies.
10:57The hope is that we will win the same time.
11:00And it's like that the Torriense is in force.
11:02Atrás of me is the Municipal Manoel Marques.
11:05This is the historic home of the Torriense.
11:08However, it's a very small stadium to receive the European games.
11:12The European games in the home of the Torriense for the European League.
11:15They are 80 km from here, in Leiria.
11:18There, yes, the stadium is prepared for the European games.
11:21Here in Torres Vedras,
11:22but few people ever dreamt that the Terra,
11:25a second division of Portuguese,
11:27would be so far.
11:28It's true that winning a Premier League team is not easy,
11:33but the faith is the most important.
11:35The game with the Sunderland is marked for this Friday,
11:39at 17h45.
