00:00Ukraine is on the back foot on the front lines.
00:16The Russian forces continue to inch forward pretty much every day.
00:19Despite the delivery of the much-promised Western weapon systems to the Ukrainian forces,
00:25it doesn't seem to be having any effect in halting the Russian advance.
00:30The long-awaited F-16s are due to arrive in Kiev in a few weeks from now, and today Germany
00:35announced that it has given yet another Patriot missile defence system.
00:39But the tide seems to be slowly changing in Moscow's favour.
00:43In a bit of a startling world face, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has extended
00:50an olive branch to Moscow.
00:51He's inviting Russian representatives to attend the next peace summit without any preconditions.

01:13of Jenin.
01:14Palestinian authorities said at least five people were killed in the attack Friday.
01:19Israeli military said it was conducting counter-terrorism activity that included an airstrike in Jenin.
01:26It said soldiers stormed a house in the Hosh al-Sadr area of Jenin city, which was being
01:31used by militants to shoot at troops.
01:35Palestine's Ministry of Health said the victims were aged 20, 23, 25, 30 and 54.
01:50Iran's Interior Ministry said Saturday that Massoud Pazashkian, a moderate who pledged
01:55to open Iran to the world and deliver freedoms its people have yearned for, has won the country's
02:00run-off presidential vote.
02:02Pazashkian is a 69-year-old cardiac surgeon, lawmaker and former health minister.
02:08He's the sole moderate among an original field of four candidates, and his main opponent
02:13was Saeed Jalili, a hardline ex-nuclear negotiator who called for deeper ties with Russia and
02:18China.
02:19The participation rate in the run-off election was about 50%.
02:49Typically an idyllic tourist destination, the Yucatan Peninsula is the second region
03:06battered by storm Beryl, with 170km per hour winds and heavy rain.

03:16a tropical storm, but high winds felled trees, causing power outages.
03:21Meanwhile hundreds of tourists were evacuated from hotels and more than 300 flights were
03:25cancelled or delayed.
03:27To support locals with the basics, more than 8,000 troops from the Mexican Armed Forces
03:32were deployed.
03:42A second volcano was active in Italy this week as Mount Stromboli erupted simultaneously
03:47with Mount Etna, belching ash and lava off the Sicilian coast.
03:52Stromboli is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, renowned for its regular but
03:57normally minor eruptions that send lava oozing from vents inside its crater.
04:03Only a day before, Mount Etna erupted with a spectacular display of lava and ash.
04:08The two volcanoes are barely 180km away from each other.
