00:20Pope Leo XIV called on Argentina to protect the most vulnerable people and placed attention on those with disabilities at
00:28the heart of his message.
00:31French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barreau said on Monday that Iran's Revolutionary Guards were behind last month's massive cyber-attack
00:39on supermarket fridges.
00:41Barreau only directly referenced attacks against French supermarket systems, which he said targeted 700 sites.
00:49However, similar incidents were also reported in at least nine other European countries.
00:54Nous avons évidemment, c'est la moindre des choses, convoqué l'ambassadeur d'Iran en France pour protester très vivement
01:01contre cet acte extrêmement grave.
01:03Nous prendrons des sanctions à l'échelle européenne contre tous les responsables de cette attaque.
01:09Et nous prendrons toute autre mesure proportionnée et nécessaire, publique ou non publique, pour répondre à cette attaque et dissuader
01:19celles et ceux qui voudraient la reproduire.
01:21The attack sent refrigerator temperatures soaring past 50 degrees Celsius, in some cases forcing stores to throw away entire inventories
01:30of perishable food.
01:32The Paris prosecutor said investigators found that the attackers had used Farsi and IP addresses linked to devices located in
01:39Iran.
01:40A formal judicial investigation was opened on Monday into an Iranian cyber unit affiliated with the IRGC.
01:51The EU will send senior officials to US-hosted peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi on 10th
01:57and 11th of November.

02:05of Cabinet Björn Seibert
02:07and European Council President António Costa's Foreign Policy Advisor Anna Maria Baurá.
02:12We leave Russia's sanctions.
02:15France, Germany and the UK will also take part.
02:19It remains unclear whether EU officials will meet Russian representatives in person as no face-to-face meeting has been
02:26confirmed.
02:28The talks will be the first trilateral negotiations since February.
02:33The EU's presence follows calls from Italy and Poland for Europe to have a stronger, coordinated role.
02:40Von der Leyen backed Zelensky's call for a ceasefire covering food and energy infrastructure
02:45and said freedom of navigation in the Black Sea must be restored.
02:55At least 17 people were killed and 13 injured in an explosion at a steel plant in the western Turkish
03:02province of Izmir on Monday.
03:04All those killed and injured were workers at the Habas plant in Al-Yaga,
03:09one of the country's leading steel producers, authorities said.
03:13Footage posted online showed a huge cloud of thick smoke pouring into the sky
03:18as flames appeared to engulf a tall structure within the plant.
03:23According to Izmir's governor, the blast was caused by an overhead crane
03:27that collapsed into a large industrial furnace used during the liquid steel casting process.
03:33He said 200 workers were in the crane's vicinity at the time of the incident.
03:38Workers' group said there was a long record of safety issues at Habas.
03:43According to local media, at least 11 workers had died over the past decade while working there.
03:54At least 21 people have been found dead in a migrant boat incident off the Greek island of Crete,
03:59while 105 others were rescued in three operations.
04:04The Greek coast guard said eight bodies were found on one boat and 12 on another,
04:08while another body was found later in the day.
04:12Frontex's unmanned aircraft also spotted two other boats
04:15whose passengers were rescued with help from European vessels.
04:19The incident follows a separate operation on Friday
04:22when 28 Sudanese were taken from their boat, while two people were reported missing.
04:27Two Sudanese nationals, aged 28 and 16, were arrested after survivors identified them
04:33as allegedly being in charge of the crossing.
04:43Pope Leo XIV called on Argentina to protect the most vulnerable people
04:48and placed attention on those with disabilities at the heart of his message
04:53during his first full day in the country on Monday.
04:56The pontiff visited Cotolengo don Orione, a care center located south of Buenos Aires,
05:02whose work has been affected by the austerity measures of Javier Milei's government.
05:08Porque ustedes pueden ayudarnos a no olvidar cuál es el fundamento de la dignidad de cada ser humano
05:17y lo que es realmente importante en la vida.
05:21El progreso de una nación también se mide por la acogida que sabe dispensar a todas las personas
05:31con discapacidad y necesidades espirituales, especiales.
05:36The message is sent in a context of tension between the Argentine government and the organizations working in this field.
05:44Last year, Congress overturned Milei's veto of a law that provided for an increase in funds for this sector.
05:51However, the executive has resisted implementing it, arguing that it could put at risk the fiscal balance achieved.
05:58The papal visit also comes just a few days before the Senate is due to study a draft bill
06:05that seeks to reserve funds for disability benefits in next year's budget.
06:10Milei opposes this initiative.
06:17British comedian and broadcaster Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months
06:23of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.
06:26About 20 years ago, Russell Brand, you were becoming famous.
06:31You were clever and, in many people's eyes, funny and charismatic.
06:36You had also become a sexual predator.
06:40Brand was unanimously convicted by a jury on Thursday of four sexual offenses,
06:45one count of rape and three counts of sexual assaults involving four women between 2004 and 2009 in different locations.
06:53In addition, Brand was cleared of two counts of rape and one count of attempted indecent assault.
07:00However, he remains under investigation after London police said it was looking into rape allegations made by two other women.
07:07The 51-year-old has turned into a self-styled conservative religious online guru in recent years.
07:13His accusers came forward following a 2023 investigation by The Times and Channel 4
07:19that aired accounts from women who said they had been sexually abused by brands.
07:27U.S. tech giant Nvidia is opening a probe into its CEO, Jensen Huang, after reports that Huang was the
07:36target of a foreign intelligence effort,
07:38the company's board said on Sunday.
07:41A report by The New York Times said that the CEO had admitted that he had been unfaithful with a
07:47business executive
07:48who, according to U.S. intelligence, was gathering information for China.
07:53In a letter addressed to Nvidia employees,
07:57Huang admitted to having been unfaithful to his wife and apologized to his family and colleagues.
08:02The company's board said it had no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia's secrets had been compromised,
08:11but that they would hold a thorough investigation.
08:14The board added that Huang fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating with it.
08:20U.S. intelligence officials believe that Alice Huang, who is a Chinese top executive at Megaspeed
08:26and who had a close relationship with Huang, was a spy for Beijing, the New York Times reported.
08:32Nvidia is one of the global leaders in the development of artificial intelligence.
08:38Its chips power many of the data centers and computing systems used to train and run AI models.
08:49Leaders from across the world are gathering in Antalya, Turkey, on Monday for a two-week-long annual UN climate
08:57conference known as COP31.
09:00The meeting takes place against a backdrop of real concern over rising temperatures
09:04following an unprecedented summer in Europe and extreme weather phenomena like the deadly floods in Nepal.
09:11At the same time, global emissions remain high, fossil fuels continue to dominate
09:16and political resistance to green policies has grown.
09:19Chloe Mikolaïczak, social and environmental activist, told Euronews that policymakers are failing to take the necessary steps at this critical
09:28stage.
09:29This summer has been absolutely terrible.
09:31There's been 50,000 deaths linked to extreme weather events and two-thirds can be attributed to climate breakdown.
09:37If we're talking about the economics, it's 180 billion euros that, you know, just went up in flames because of
09:43climate breakdown.
09:44We know all of that.
09:45What we're currently missing is the political willingness to act.
09:50She also dismissed any accusation that climate activists have been out of touch,
09:55as she warned that the situation in Europe is a cause of serious concern.
09:59Europe is the fastest warming continent on the planet,
10:03and you would have to be extremely blind to miss that.
10:06So I think everyone who presents themselves as reasonable, you know, or very smart,
10:12such as what we're seeing in our conservative politicians that are in power most of Europe today,
10:17is that they're actually just very stupid and foolish in what they're pushing for.
10:24Spain's economy minister Carlos Cuerpo has backed former Bank of Spain governor Pablo Hernandez de Cos
10:30to succeed Cristin Lagarde as president of the European Central Bank.
10:34Euronews asked why the next president should be from Spain.
10:38I think it's the right window of opportunity for Spain,
10:40not only because of the way that we've been leading some of the important discussions at the European and the
10:45EU level,
10:46also looking at the performance of the Spanish economy,
10:48but mainly because I think we have the right candidate.
10:51Pablo not only has been in the central bank world for almost 30 years,
10:56he's been leading, as you said, the Spanish central bank,
10:58but also the BIS as a steady hand, a strong background in economics,
11:02and also, of course, a man who is able to gather consensus,
11:08which is very important at the head of an institution like the ECB.
11:11However, some argue it might be a problem that the Spanish are pro-debt
11:14and not fiscally conservative like others.
11:18The Spanish are very fiscally responsible.
11:20You just have to look at what has happened over the past few years
11:22with the Spanish fundamentals
11:23and the reduction in our debt-to-GDP ratio by more than 22 percentage points,
11:29strong confidence from the markets, from investors in the Spanish economy.
11:33That's what we are putting forward as well.
11:36Madrid is competing with the Netherlands' former central bank governor,
11:39Klaas Noto, for this position.
11:41Lagarde has said she intends to step down on February 7th next year.
11:45Unchanged.
11:46Unchanged.
11:47Unchanged.
