00:21The death toll of a high-speed train collision on Wednesday morning, south of Madrid, has mounted to 68, with
00:29more than 100 people injured, according to Spanish regional authorities.
00:34Emergency services rushed to the scene in Castilla-La Mancha to search for survivors and treat the wounded.
00:41Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on Wednesday that Spain was in mourning.
00:47Hoy España está de luto, toda España está de luto, y expresamos toda nuestra solidaridad y toda nuestra empatía con
00:57los familiares de las víctimas,
00:59y también los heridos que aún permanecen hospitalizados, a los que esperamos que tengan una pronta recuperación.
01:06Sánchez also called for increased safety measures to restore confidence in a high-speed rail system that was once a
01:14source of national pride,
01:15a train operated by the state-owned Renfear Company struck the rear of another train operated by private company IRIO
01:24that had stopped.
01:25The crash was caused by human error after a computer system failure, according to officials, between two villages.
01:33This is the second rail disaster in Spain this year after another high-speed train collision in January left 46
01:40dead.
01:42Nos encontramos aquí en la localidad de Urda, en la provincia de Toledo, donde esta mañana ha tenido lugar una
01:49trágica colisión entre dos trenes de alta velocidad.
01:53El incidente tuvo lugar en torno a las 8.55 de la mañana, cuando un tren IRIO estampó por detrás
01:59a un AVE que estaba parado en las vías,
02:02aguardando permiso para retomar la marcha.
02:05Según se ha podido saber por el momento, el balance de muertos es de 68 personas,
02:09de los cuales 24 viajaban en el tren AVE, mientras que el resto viajaba en el IRIO.
02:14Entre los muertos se encuentra la exministra Fátima Bañez, según se ha podido confirmar.
02:20Además de los fallecidos, por el momento se contabilizan 68 heridos, 15 de los cuales están en estado grave.
02:27El presidente del gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, que se ha acercado al lugar del incidente,
02:31se ha referido a este como un día de luto para España y se ha comprometido a depurar cualquier responsabilidad.

02:45After more than a decade in power, outgoing Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic
02:50was defeated in the polls, with the student-led opposition emerging victorious in parliamentary elections.
02:57Marco Prelec, analyst at the International Crisis Group,
03:00believes dismantling Vucic's system will take a long time,
03:04but thinks it's premature to worry about the student-list movement's capacity to lead the country.
03:10The most important thing to keep in mind about the student movement
03:15is that it is not a political party in any sense.
03:19This is really a totally unprecedented thing.
03:22There's no single leader.
03:23There's no charismatic figure.
03:24They really won the elections purely on the strength of their promise to turn the page
03:31after 14 years of the government of President Vucic.
03:35The EU has welcomed the election result.
03:38However, this result does not imply that the country will necessarily join the bloc, Prelec explained.
03:44They have been somewhat ambivalent about whether they mean that to mean eventual membership in the European Union,
03:52or something which is really under a question mark for a variety of reasons.
03:58But they clearly do seek better relations with the member states of the European Union and with the EU itself.
04:07Serbian police say an attacker was shot dead after assaulting a guard with knives
04:12outside the Israeli embassy in Belgrade early Wednesday.
04:16Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said authorities were treating the incident
04:20as a suspected terrorist attack after the unidentified minor allegedly targeted a police officer with two knives.
04:29According to Dacic, the attacker kept the black flag in support of the Islamic State on his Instagram account.
04:3515 minutes after the cuff over the
04:38of the terrorist attack on the members of the gendarmerie
04:42which is a threat to the ambasad.
04:46In the meantime, one person now
04:50with a confirmed identity,
04:52which is a small person,
04:58is with the people of Allah and Allah
05:02who has attacked the members of the gendarmerie
05:06with two knives. The officer of the gendarmerie is in self-defense,
05:14liquidated the shooter, and also received a easier damage,
05:21that is, in the face of the knife that was attacked.
05:28Following the incident, Serbian authorities raised the country's terror alert to its highest level
05:34and stepped up security at key locations.
05:37The attack comes days after Serbia's early parliamentary election on Sunday,
05:42which saw a youth-led movement defeat former President Aleksandar Vucic's long-dominant political camp
05:49following nearly two years of anti-government protests.
05:53It also takes place right after the polls closed in Israel's own parliamentary election.
06:04German Chancellor Friedrich Merz met Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takeishi on Wednesday,
06:11with both leaders voicing deep concern about economic coercion.
06:15Talks also included committing to stronger cooperation on supply chains,
06:20critical raw materials, and new technologies.
06:23The two leaders issued joint statements on economic security and future technologies.
06:29They criticized the arbitrary export restrictions on critical raw materials,
06:35though they named no country.
06:37And thirdly, the issue of economic security has won in the last years
06:41a lot of importance.
06:44Japan, the European Union, and also Germany, we have learned,
06:48we have to minimize one-selected vulnerabilities,
06:51whether in our supply chains or with regard to products.
07:05The issue is pressing for Japan, which faces rare-earth shortages after China-restricted exports.
07:13Germany is also guided by EU requirements stating that by 2030,
07:17no more than 65% of critical raw materials should come from China.
07:23The two sides agreed to also work together on cyber defense
07:26and called for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
07:34European natural gas prices reached €100.37 per megawatt hour on Wednesday afternoon,
07:42up more than 4% that day and reaching their highest level since December 2022.
07:48Hours before, EU Energy Chief Dan Jorgensen said the bloc was facing a new energy crisis and a tough winter.
07:57Before the Iran war began in late February, prices were around €32,
08:02although they remain below the record high of €340, reached in August 2022.
08:09The Commission also sees the worldwide diesel market staying tight well into 2027,
08:16keeping energy prices high.
08:18Meanwhile, European gas supply is currently tight.
08:21Disruption to liquefied natural gas shipments caused by the Iran war has cut off supplies from several sources,
08:28mainly Qatar.
08:29EU gas storage stood at 75% in October, according to the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators,
08:37well short of the bloc's usual target of 90% by November 1st.
08:42A CER estimated the war has increased Europe's bill for gas imports by between €18 billion and €33 billion.
08:51The bloc and Canada are exploring a long-term LNG deal,
08:56according to a draft statement for their summit in Montreal on Thursday and Friday seen by Euronews.
09:06Brazil's defeated right-wing presidential candidate, Flavio Bolsonaro, arrived at Miami area airport on Wednesday
09:13after the US State Department said it would issue visas to him and his family
09:18following his loss to President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva in Sunday's run-off election.
09:24Bolsonaro's arrival in the United States follows conflicting reports about his movements after leaving Brazil
09:31despite a court order banning him from travelling abroad.
09:36Argentine authorities said on Wednesday that he had entered Argentina with valid travel documents.
09:42The country's migration agency said Bolsonaro travelled with his wife and two daughters aboard a private flight for Ecuador.
09:50Bolsonaro, who received tacit support from US President Donald Trump,
09:54is under investigation in Brazil for alleged corruption, money laundering and tax evasion.
10:00He was ordered to surrender his passport and is expected to lose his parliamentary immunity following his election defeat.
10:07Trump, who did not formally endorse Bolsonaro in the run-off against Lula,
10:13said on Wednesday that he would welcome him to the United States.
10:22Experts are calling on the World Health Organization and the United Nations as a whole
10:26to formally declare climate change a global health emergency.
10:30A new report published by The Lancet indicates that health risks and impacts from climate change
10:37have been increasing rapidly since the Paris Agreement entered into force in 2016.
10:43These include some heat-related health risks, drought incidents, extreme precipitation
10:48and climatic suitability for dengue transmission.
10:52The faster pace of these changes suggests that existing measures are insufficient to protect public health.
10:59The authors argue that a formal emergency designation would shift global climate action
11:04from slow, voluntary commitments to mandatory, coordinated emergency management.
11:10Some proposed measures include an immediate global ban on new fossil fuel exploration and exploitation,
11:16the complete phase-out of coal-fired power generation by 2035
11:20and a shift towards predominantly plant-based diets.
11:23Despite efforts to tackle climate change, greenhouse gas emissions continue to reach record highs.
11:30Climate change is increasingly affecting health and threatening lives worldwide,
11:35while a window of opportunity to avoid a potentially catastrophic future is rapidly closing.
11:40climate change is moving.
11:43Climate change is moving.
