00:00 World leaders arrive at India`s G20 summit, but can they find meaningful diplomatic solutions
00:06 against the backdrop of Russia`s war on Ukraine?
00:10 Shelled by the Russians, three Ukrainian people were injured in Sumy on Friday morning, while
00:16 a policeman was killed in Krivye Rih.
00:20 Suspended Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales has been formally accused of sexual assault
00:25 by Spanish prosecutors for kissing Jenny Hermoso on the mouth.
00:33 Delhi and arriving at the G20 summit of the world`s wealthiest nations, the British prime
00:38 minister.
00:43 Rishi Sunak is the first British prime minister of Indian origin, and his wife Akshata Murthy
00:48 is also the daughter of one of India`s richest men.
00:53 Italy`s premier, Giorgia Maloney, was also greeted at a summit where the war in Ukraine
00:59 and the impact of Russian attacks on grain exports will be top of the agenda.
01:10 Over 250 million people face acute food insecurity worldwide, and by deliberately attacking Ukraine`s
01:20 exports, the Kremlin is depriving them of the food they desperately need.
01:27 This must stop.
01:30 As world leaders arrive behind the scenes, efforts are being made on a joint communique,
01:34 a tall order with Russia and China, both G20 members.
01:45 Locked in their beds, pulled from the rubble of their homes by rescuers.
01:51 The town of Sumy was one of several places in eastern Ukraine shelled by Russia on Friday
01:56 morning.
01:59 Three people were injured and dozens of houses destroyed.
02:04 There were 14 strikes on Sumy region overnight.
02:07 Another Russian airstrike hit a police station in Kriv-Yuriy on Friday, killing a policeman
02:13 and injuring many more.
02:17 But the main front line is in Zaporizhia, where people who`ve lived hard lives on the
02:21 land eke out an existence amid the shelling.
02:25 Only three families live in the village of Privilne in the Pologivsky district, cut off
02:49 from basic essentials like other villages nearby.
03:13 People here say that since the start of the war, more than half the population has left
03:18 the area.
03:25 Luis Rubiales has been formally accused of sexual assault and coercion for kissing a
03:30 player during the Women`s World Cup, which the Spanish team won.
03:33 Prosecutors filed the complaint against the now suspended president of the Spanish Football
03:38 Federation at the Spanish National Court in Madrid.
03:43 The case was launched two days after Jenny Hermoso formally accused him of sexual assault.
03:51 A legal change in Spain last year eliminated the difference between sexual harassment and
03:56 sexual assault, sanctioning any non-consensual sexual act.
04:01 If found guilty, Rubiales could be fined or jailed with sentences ranging from one to
04:07 four years.
04:10 It was during the awards ceremony and on camera in Sydney, Australia, that Rubiales kissed
04:15 Jenny Hermoso on the mouth.
04:23 France`s highest court for complaints against state authorities has ruled in favor of a
04:28 government ban on the Abaya Muslim dress for women in schools.
04:32 The state council in Paris on Thursday ruled that prohibiting the full-length dress did
04:36 not constitute a violation of fundamental freedoms, but others argued the ban lacks
04:41 clarity.
04:42 This ban does not rely on any legal text. It is a purely political statement from the
04:49 Ministry of Education in the context of the school year. And it is a dress that has not
04:54 been defined and is considered as a dress that is not religious.
05:00 France`s education minister, Gabriel Attal, says the garment violates France`s strict
05:06 rules on secularism, which openly bans demonstrating religious symbols in schools.
05:11 He added that 67 girls refused to change out of the dress on Monday and were sent home.
05:17 President Macron has supported the ban as protection of secularism in French schools.
05:29 On the surface in Turkey, an international rescue mission to save a man trapped a thousand
05:34 meters below.
05:40 The below ground too with Mark Dickey, who suffered internal bleeding while on a cave
05:45 diving expedition.
05:46 As you can see, I`m up, I`m alert, I`m talking. But I`m not healed on the inside yet, so I
05:54 need a lot of help to get out of here. And it`s - this is often in the caving world a
06:02 great opportunity to show just how well the international world can work together.
06:10 More than 170 people, including doctors and paramedics, are on site, showing how the world
06:14 of caving or speleology responds when accidents happen to those who dedicate themselves to
06:20 exploring the subterranean world.
06:30 The death toll from Storm Daniel in central Greece has risen to at least six after extreme
06:35 rainfall sparked devastating flooding in large parts of the country. Many people refused
06:40 to leave their homes and thousands were left stranded. Rescue operations grind on and almost
06:45 2,000 people have already been saved.
06:47 Today, the people who had to leave in the afternoon, didn`t leave. They didn`t expect
06:53 that so much water would come down. The people were trapped and this is the struggle we are
06:56 facing right now. We shouldn`t do it, because people would have left in the afternoon and
07:01 we wouldn`t have had such problems. But we will try to get people out of their homes.
07:07 Many people remain unaccounted for and the exact number of missing is yet to be determined.
07:13 Recovery teams are still wading through the mud and assessing the damages.
07:17 In the region of Thessalis alone, Governor Kostas Agorastas says he is predicting damages
07:22 of around 2 billion euros.
07:29 Residents in Romania`s eastern village of Plauru are accustomed to finding fragments
07:34 of military drones on their doorstep. They are used to drones flying overhead and to
07:39 hearing air raid sirens sounding just a stone`s throw away from their homes. That`s because
07:45 only a 200-meter strip of water separates them from the Ukrainian port of Ismail, the
07:51 target of the latest wave of Russian attacks.
07:53 From here, from the village of Plauru, you can see with your own eyes what is happening
07:57 in the port of Ismail. We see the silo where the ships with grain are being loaded from
08:01 Ukraine. We can see very close the river dam and not far from here, the TV set of Ismail,
08:08 a port that the Russians want to destroy to prevent the Ukrainians from exporting their
08:18 cereals.
08:18 Lately, hardly a day goes by without the sound of explosions. Residents told of bombings
08:25 just the night before.
08:32 Although they now live in constant fear, very few people in Plauru are willing to leave
08:47 their homes. That`s despite the mayor offering residents the chance to seek temporary shelter
08:52 elsewhere.
09:11 But the villagers don`t seem willing to budge.
09:18 Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukrainian ports since July, when it withdrew from the
09:38 agreement which allowed Kiev to export its grain through the Black Sea ports.
09:44 Residents of Plauru have been complaining that Russian military devices are entering
09:48 Romanian territory. Searches have been carried out in the region, but nothing was found.
09:55 Thirty years to life in prison for U.S. actor Danny Masterson, after he was found guilty
10:05 of raping two women in 2003.
10:10 Both attacks took place in his Hollywood era home, when he was at the height of his fame
10:15 on the Fox network sitcom "That 70s Show".
10:19 Prosecutors claim that Masterson used his prominence in the Church of Scientology, but
10:23 all women were the members at the time, to avoid consequences for decades after the attacks.
10:34 Time over trends for COVID-19 ahead of the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere.
10:39 The World Health Organization says the Omicron sub-variant, Aries and other strains are on
10:44 the rise.
10:46 Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is calling for new vaccination campaigns and
10:51 is urging people to be proactive and not wait until an additional jab is recommended.
10:57 Last week, the WHO`s technical lead said hundreds of thousands of people have been hospitalized
11:02 from the virus, while ICU admissions are increasing across the EU.
11:09 These are Norwegian treasures dating from the 6th century A.D.
11:13 The objects described as the gold find of the century were presented to the Archaeological
11:17 Museum in Struvanger, after local man Aland Bura literally struck gold.
11:22 Using a metal detector he bought earlier this year, the 51-year-old unearthed 10 gold pearls,
11:27 three rings and several amulets, believed to have not seen the light of day for over
11:31 1,500 years.
11:33 Representatives for the museum say during that century, Norway was hit by a plague and
11:37 many people in the area died and had their treasures buried with them.
