00:00Ukraine and Russia have agreed in principle to a major prisoner exchange following two days of U.S. mediated peace
00:06talks in Abu Dhabi.
00:10A U.S. judge in Florida has allowed President Donald Trump's defamation case against the BBC to go ahead after
00:17the broadcaster sought to dismiss it.
00:21Ukraine and Russia have agreed in principle to a major prisoner exchange following two days of U.S. mediated peace
00:29talks in Abu Dhabi,
00:30although negotiations ended without a breakthrough on the central issues dividing the two sides.
00:36The agreement marks the most concrete and so far the only outcome of the first direct negotiations between Kiev and
00:44Moscow.
00:53Euronews asked Kushner about the possibility of a Putin-Zelensky meeting in the future.
00:58I think what the Russians have said is they'd like to see more progress made before that happens.
01:02I think that clearly there's not a great trust or a lot between the leaders.
01:07I think there's a little bit more work we need to do to get it there.
01:11And again, it's going to be all pushing the ball to that goal.
01:13The Ukrainian negotiators said that post-war security negotiations opened up the rigid dialogue.
01:19We are working towards the final goal where it should be not trilateral, it should be multilateral,
01:27because Europeans have to sit at the table, because we continue to be talking about European force for security.
01:33Ukraine is part of Europe, and European countries have to sit on the table together with us
01:38and discuss how the security in Europe will look like.
01:59U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday,
02:06and then the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin on the same day.
02:17As talks aimed at ending Russia's war in Ukraine continue,
02:21NATO's deputy Supreme Allied Commander told Euronews he hoped Moscow was entering the talks in good faith,
02:27but pointed out there was little evidence President Vladimir Putin had moved away from his maximalist demands.
02:33Johnny Stringer said Ukraine's objectives in securing a ceasefire were paramount for NATO.
02:38I hope, but I say hope, that they enter into negotiations in a genuine spirit of seeking resolution here,
02:48and that it's not just, frankly, a restatement of demands that, as I said, go back to 2022.
02:55So let's see how serious Russia is here.
02:58U.S. President Donald Trump called on Kyiv to stop targeting Russian diesel refineries,
03:04claiming that the strikes were responsible for raising energy prices.
03:08But Stringer pressed successful Ukrainian operations.
03:11This is hurting Putin. He thought he was going to roll in, establish a new security architecture in Europe that
03:18started in Ukraine in early 2022,
03:21and he's been sorely disabused on that one.
03:25Asked about concerns that Ukraine could be pressured into accepting changes to its borders,
03:30Stringer said Ukraine alone had the right to determine the future of its sovereign territory.
03:40A U.S. judge has rejected the BBC's motion to dismiss Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster,
03:47allowing the case to proceed to trial.
03:49U.S. District Judge Jeffrey T. Contz on Tuesday denied the British broadcaster's attempt to have the defamation claim dismissed,
03:58although he, however, threw out a second claim which Trump had brought under Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
04:06The case centers on a BBC Panorama documentary that spliced together two separate parts of the speech Trump gave on
04:156 January 2021.
04:17The edit made it appear that Trump had explicitly urged his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
04:25Trump accuses the broadcaster of deceptively editing the program to make it look as though he was inciting violence.
04:33The BBC has since apologized for the edit, which led to the resignation of two top directors.
04:40However, it denies that the program caused Trump any real harm.
04:45Last month, a magistrate judge ordered Trump to give a deposition by 11 December
04:50and warned the U.S. president could face sanctions, including the possible dismissal of his lawsuit, should he fail to
04:58attend.
05:01On Wednesday morning, hundreds of schools across Italy received a bomb threat via an anonymous e-mail sent directly to
05:08school campuses.
05:09The e-mail also contained an explicit threat directed specifically at Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
05:15The schools were evacuated.
05:17This is in the heart of Rome, less than a kilometer from St. Peter's Square.
05:38According to preliminary findings from an investigation by the Ministry of Education,
05:43approximately 6,300 out of 7,476 public schools were affected.
05:49Defense Minister Guido Corsetto also commented on the incident,
05:52stating that the bomb threats are part of a deliberate campaign of destabilization.
06:22The prime minister reassured citizens via social media.
06:25Assuring them that there is no evidence to suggest that a concrete danger exists.
06:38French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday held his final November 11 ceremony as head of state,
06:45commemorating the end of World War I and remembering all those who have died in conflicts.
06:51In Paris, Macron first laid a wreath at the statue of Georges Clemenceau before proceeding to the Arc de Triomphe.
06:59After reviewing the troops, he paid his respects at the tomb of the unknown soldier and rekindled the flame.
07:06The names of five soldiers who died for France this year were also read aloud.
07:12In the cruise department, central France, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of La France Insoumise,
07:18paid his respects at the Pacifist War Memorial.
07:21The still bears the inscription, quote,
07:24Cursed be war. Standing before the statue of an orphan with a raised fist,
07:29Mélenchon called on people to learn from history so that it does not repeat itself.
07:36On her part, Marine Le Pen commemorated the event,
07:40surrounded by numerous elected officials and French flags,
07:44in her stronghold of Hernan Beaumont.
07:46After laying a wreath, a representative from Pas-de-Calais emphasized the importance of collective memory,
07:53which she considers the glue that binds the nation together.
08:01Climate activist Greta Thunberg has blasted the annual COP Climate Summit as being hypocritical.
08:08Attending the talks for the first time since 2021,
08:11she urged leaders to put people in the planet ahead of profits and power.
08:16I mean, it's a hypocrisy every year that the host countries are given an opportunity to vice-wash themselves.
08:24And we know that these negotiations are filled with lobbyists paid by the very destructive industries,
08:31which are benefiting from our extremely violent status quo,
08:36our political and economic systems that have become incompatible with human nature.
08:43The two-week COP31 talks kicked off in Turkey earlier this week,
08:47with governments under pressure to tackle climate change
08:50after a year of searing heat waves and wildfires in Europe and deadly floods in Nepal.
08:56Electrification and waste reduction are said to be key focus points of this year's negotiations.
09:01Many EU countries are expected to advocate for the role of renewables
09:06and the transition away from fossil fuels.
09:09COP31 co-hosts Turkey and Australia are promoting renewable energy and rooftop solar installations,
09:15but both still rely heavily on fossil fuels, especially coal, to generate electricity.
09:26Storm Charles seems, after all, to have fallen short of the catastrophic scenario once feared
09:31and has split into two separate cores, one expected to hit the Algarve
09:36and the other the Lisbon region, where it should arrive during the afternoon.
09:40Lisbon, Setubal and Beja are no longer under a wind warning
09:44but are now on maximum alert due to the rain, which hasn't let up.
09:50The wind warning has been downgraded from red to orange,
09:54with gusts forecast to reach up to 120 kilometres per hour.
09:59In Madeira, the worst of Storm Charles appears to have already passed,
10:04but the authorities are still urging caution on the roads,
10:08especially near streams and other watercourses.
10:13The roads into Funchal, which had been closed as a precaution, have now reopened.
10:18The public is advised to avoid high-risk areas and to stay alert to safety recommendations.
10:32Anthropic plans to raise up to $64 billion in its upcoming initial public offering.
10:38The artificial intelligence giant said in a filing that could value the company
10:42at up to $1.4 trillion or €1.25 trillion.
10:48The stock market debut will be the first by one of the leading AI model developers
10:53and is being seen as a gorge of how long the AI spending boom lifting the US economy can last.
10:59The maker of the cloud AI models said in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
11:05that it aims to sell 825 million shares at between $70 and $78 each.
11:13Anthropic is aiming to go public the week of November the 16th
11:17and reports said its shares would begin trading on November the 19th.
11:22The listing comes as Wall Street digests the results of the US midterm elections
11:27in which Democrats, who are more wary of AI, won control of both chambers of Congress
11:33and have vowed to put the brakes on President Donald Trump's agenda.
11:37The slide has brought volatility to shares of companies linked to the AI boom.
