00:14Russian forces have launched a bomb attack on the Kharkiv region, hitting civilian infrastructure.
00:20As of 5pm, at least one person is known to be killed and 11 people injured.
00:27Moscow has recently intensified attacks against Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, with
00:32the use of missiles, glide bombs and drones, destroying energy infrastructure and killing
00:38civilians.
00:40The attack marks the second time this weekend Russia has attacked Kharkiv with glide bombs.
00:46Elsewhere, five people, including two children, were killed by falling debris when five Ukrainian
00:53missiles were shot down in Sevastopol, a port city in Russian-annexed Crimea.
00:59Russian state news agency RIA Novosti said 124 people were wounded, citing the health
01:06ministry.
01:08Monday was declared a day of mourning in the city, with public events cancelled.
01:19Protesters demanding that the government resigns were met with a heavy police presence
01:23in Tel Aviv.
01:24A few scuffles broke out and some of the protesters were pushed back, whilst others were carried
01:29away.
01:30There's anger across Israel at the government's handling of the war in Gaza and the hostage
01:35crisis.
01:36The government estimates 116 hostages are still in Gaza, 40 of them presumed to have
01:41died and around 80 who are believed to still be alive.
01:45Meanwhile, Israel has killed over 37,000 people in Gaza, most of them women and children.
01:54As Pride Month continues across Europe, 10,000 people have taken part in a colourful parade
02:00in Warsaw.
02:03Traditionally a protest event, participants voiced their demands, which included the extension
02:08of anti-hate speech law to fully protect the LGBTQ plus community, marriage and civil union
02:14as a right of every citizen and safeguarding the rights of children raised in same-sex
02:19relationships.
02:21Poland also joined a diplomatic declaration, alongside 35 embassies and several cultural
02:27institutes in Budapest, against politically motivated targeting of members of the LGBTQ
02:33plus community.
02:35It comes as Budapest held its Pride Parade in the city centre for the 29th time.
02:44An hour's long power outage hit the Balkans on Friday, plunging the region into darkness.
02:51It comes off the back of an early June heatwave that saw temperatures climb to a sizzling
02:5640 degrees.
02:57Croatian officials blamed faulty energy infrastructure between Greece and Albania for the blackouts.
03:03I would not like to be exposed to information, but it is preliminary that there was a long
03:09blackout between Greece and Albania and that the flows changed, but it is still a sphere
03:16of harassment and unverified information.
03:19Bosnia's state power company said the outage was caused by problems in a regional distribution
03:24line, while Albania's state power company said extreme heat caused the problem.
03:29Montenegrin officials said the increased daily load, compounded by high temperatures, led
03:34to the outages.
03:35It is simply not possible and it is not necessary to turn on the power just because it was a
03:42big attack on the distribution network.
03:44So I have to be careful, I ask the citizens to be patient.
03:48These are emergency situations that are common, that happen not so often, of course, in the
03:53power system, but something that cannot be excluded.
03:57The energy infrastructure collapse led to businesses shuttering, traffic gridlock and
04:02imposed emergency safety measures.

04:45to 11 hours.
