00:19 US Super Tuesday primaries for presidential race saw big wins for President Joe Biden
00:26 and former President Donald Trump.
00:34 The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for two high-ranking Russian military
00:39 officers.
00:40 They are wanted for the war crime of directing attacks at civilian objects and causing excessive
00:46 incidental harm to civilians.
00:49 It's the second time the International Court has issued warrants linked to Russia's war
00:54 in Ukraine.
00:55 In March 2023, the court asked for the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing
01:01 him of being responsible for the abductions of children from Ukraine.
01:08 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the decision and thanked the International
01:12 Criminal Court on Tuesday.
01:18 French President Emmanuel Macron reiterated his support toward Ukraine at a press conference

01:30 the EU.
01:32 A family of five who died in a Russian drone attack on the southern port city of Odessa
01:37 were laid to rest on Tuesday.
01:39 Twelve people, including five children, were killed in the weekend drone strike that hit
01:45 a multi-story building.
01:47 Dozens showed up to pay their respects to the family.
01:54 The attack on a Russian warship by Ukrainian sea drones on Tuesday is the latest example
01:58 of Ukraine employing these domestically produced maritime devices.
02:04 The unmanned, remotely controlled Magura V5 drones use existing technology scaled up for
02:10 warfare.
02:12 They're equipped with GPS and cameras and have a very low radar profile.
02:18 The secret unit that produces them has unveiled its latest model, the baby sea drone, can
02:24 carry even more explosives to strike bigger targets.
02:28 "This is a drone with new, significantly improved maritime capabilities and capabilities
02:35 that can deliver useful loads over the ton, over 1,100 kilometers away.
02:42 I can't tell you the other parameters yet, but we stick to the strategy that everything
02:50 must be a universal platform on which we will place and already place very interesting
02:57 weapons."
02:59 Costing hundreds of thousands of euros, the drones can sink warships worth many millions.
03:05 They have not just helped Ukraine protect its Black Sea coast, but have also boosted
03:10 national morale when it's needed the most.
03:16 Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has been accused by Spanish prosecutors of tax fraud
03:21 to the value of one million euros.
03:25 He has been accused of setting up shell companies to hide part of his earnings during his tenure
03:30 as the club's manager.
03:33 It is alleged he used these firms to conceal income gained from image rights, which he
03:38 failed to declare.
03:39 If found guilty, he faces five years in prison.
03:43 The 64-year-old has not yet responded to the charges.
03:51 Voters in 16 U.S. states and one U.S. territory have chosen the presidential candidates in
03:56 primaries on the country's traditional Super Tuesday.
04:00 The vote saw big wins for President Joe Biden from the Democratic Party and Republican former
04:05 President Donald Trump.
04:08 Tuesday's vote was an indication that a potential rematch between the two candidates in the
04:12 November elections is looming.
04:15 They both won the primaries in Massachusetts, Maine, Tennessee, Alabama and Texas.
04:21 Biden won Democratic nominating contests in 15 states and Trump in 12 Republican contests.
04:29 Republican candidate Nikki Haley won the Republican primary in Vermont.
04:35 For Nikki Haley, the former governor here in South Carolina, there was just the one
04:39 surprise win this Super Tuesday in the state of Vermont.
04:43 No victory speech, though her campaign said staff were jubilant.
04:47 There were no public remarks from her here in Charleston, while Donald Trump rightly
04:51 declared victory.
04:52 There was no mention whatsoever of Nikki Haley in Donald Trump's speech in Florida.
04:56 He's moved on from these primaries and so has President Joe Biden.
05:00 Both men now firmly pivoting to the general election, the repeat of the duel in 2020.
05:06 Trump has firmly cemented his role as the leader of the Republican Party on this Super
05:10 Tuesday.
05:11 He's not yet the presumptive nominee, but that could happen within a week.
05:14 And the same goes for Joe Biden.
05:15 Eight months of campaigning now await us here in the United States.
05:19 And Joe Biden will have his work cut out because recent polling shows that Donald Trump can
05:25 win in November.
05:27 Philip Crowther, Euronews in Charleston, South Carolina.
05:34 According to the Polish cyber defense army, Poland is receiving a high number of DDoS
05:39 attacks that originate from Russia.
05:41 These type of attacks flood a server with internet traffic to block them from accessing
05:46 services.
05:47 "Our analysis and information we receive from our allies and partners indicate that
05:54 Poland, when it comes to one of the types of attacks, DDoS attacks, is one of the most
06:01 frequently attacked in the world.
06:09 The railway transport office is such an institution which is experiencing an increase in cyber
06:14 attacks.
06:16 Experts say that these attacks can be geolocated to Russia.
06:20 "The Railway Transport Office, which is an institution that deals with regulation
06:27 of the railway in Poland, is being attacked 2,000 times a day.
06:32 The Russians are attacking everything that is possible.
06:35 There is a GPS jam, a website that shows the disruptions.
06:39 Looking at the maps, the only source so far to the west can be only the Krulewiec.
06:46 "It is also worth noting that we have disruptions over Estonia, over Latvia, a little less
06:55 over Lithuania.
06:56 As long as the war in Ukraine continues, the tendency will be to hold out."
07:04 According to cyber security analysts, cyber attacks are increasing across Europe.
07:11 "We observed an increase in attacks against, for example, academics and NGO workers, focused
07:20 on Russia's geopolitics.
07:23 Something to note is that Europe is very well protected.
07:27 We have different kinds of legal frameworks that assure the number of member states sharing
07:35 information, sharing a legal framework to have the same baseline for their cyber security."
07:42 Last year, global cyber crime damage costs were $18 million every minute.
07:48 This cost, according to the estimated calculations, will increase, reaching over $10 trillion
07:54 annually by 2025.
07:56 Magdalena Walownik for Euronews from Warsaw.
08:04 A 62-year-old German man from Magdeburg claims he has been vaccinated against COVID-19 217
08:11 times.
08:12 134 of those vaccinations could be officially confirmed.
08:17 A team of researchers found that his immune system was functioning normally without any
08:22 side effects.
08:25 According to German media, he was able to purchase and administer the vaccines privately
08:30 over a period of 28 months.
08:38 Ancient books and Greek scrolls.
08:41 These charred manuscripts discovered centuries ago in modern-day Ercolano, southern Italy,
08:46 survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
08:51 Today they are extremely delicate and could fall apart if opened.
08:55 But the University of Kentucky in the US has found three young researchers who discovered
09:00 there is a way to read these manuscripts without unravelling them.
09:04 "The Vesuvius Challenge has completely solved the problem of the virtual unfolding of these
09:11 scrolls, the opening of the charred scrolls without actually touching them.
09:16 These are extremely compressed and carbonized scrolls, so they are very compact but at the
09:21 same time very fragile."
09:26 Using an X-ray microcomputed tomography technique, these researchers were able to reproduce the
09:32 internal parts of the scrolls by retracing the microscopic density differences in the
09:38 ink and then reveal the text.
09:41 "AI is able to understand what the ink looks like, even if it's not visible, there are
09:49 still some patterns on the surface of the papyrus that make up this ink.
09:53 So AI is able to pick these up and it's able to make the predictions."
09:58 For the first time in history, it will be possible for scholars to read these precious
10:02 scrolls discovered in the famous Villa dei Papiri without even touching them.
10:07 "When I first realized that we're getting actual complex sentences from the side of
10:11 the scroll for the grand prize and seeing some of the transcription, it's incredibly
10:18 awe-inspiring and I feel very lucky to be part of this process."
10:23 Inside the National Library of Naples, there is the Papyri Archolanese Office, a conservation
10:30 and study laboratory of the only ancient library preserved in the world.
10:34 "It's good news for historians and history buffs who will soon be able to discover what's
11:01 buried inside these ancient scrolls and many more like them."
11:08 The Barbie brand has honored Helen Mirren with a one-of-a-kind doll made after her,
11:13 ahead of International Women's Day.
11:16 The British actress is named a Barbie role model as the brand celebrates female storytellers
11:21 as part of its 65th anniversary celebrations.
11:26 The doll recreates the iconic blue fashion look she wore on the 2023 Cannes red carpet.
11:33 Viola Davis, Kylie Minogue, Shania Twain have also all been named as Barbie role models.
