00:44US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle has resigned after scrutiny of security weaknesses
00:51related to the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump.
00:57The resignation came as the internal government watchdog moved forward with investigations
01:03into the handling of Trump's protection.

01:25Beijing in which they vowed to end division and strengthen Palestinian unity.
01:32The declaration was brokered by China following reconciliation talks between 14 different
01:38Palestinian groups which began in the Chinese capital on Sunday.
01:44At a press conference on Tuesday, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mao
01:49Ning outlined the details of the agreement.
02:04The Fatah and Hamas have been rivals since Hamas violently took control of Gaza in 2007.
02:32The Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority currently administers parts of the occupied
02:37West Bank.
02:43EU legal competitiveness was the main topic at an informal meeting of EU justice ministers
02:50in Budapest.
02:51The Hungarian Minister of Justice said Europe needs to be shaken up, not only economically
02:57speaking but also in legal terms.
03:01EU legislation must underpin competitiveness and the legislative process and legislation
03:07must be made more transparent.
03:10They also looked at the potential use of artificial intelligence in the field of law.
03:29Recently, several countries have sent their lower representatives rather than their ministers
03:35to these informal meetings in a show of protest against Viktor Orban and his divergent views
03:41on the war in Ukraine.
03:42On Monday, 10 out of 27 EU ministers attended the meeting of interior ministers.
03:49It is assumed that the numbers were similar on Tuesday.
04:09Newly elected European Parliament lawmaker Giuseppe Antoci has warned against the existential
04:16threat of mafias to the European Union and its member states.
04:20To deal with this, Antoci called for a joint and coordinated response at the European level.
04:26As president of the Nebrodi Park in Sicily, Antoci devised a protocol to prevent money
04:32from European funds for agriculture from ending up in the hands of mafia clans.
04:37For this, he became an enemy of the mafia.
05:07Elected the European chamber with Italy's leftist five-star movement, Giuseppe Antoci
05:21is among the MEPs who wonder the corridors of the European Parliament with special police
05:26protection.
05:27He maintains an escort in Brussels and Strasbourg and will have an office with special security
06:03in Brussels.
06:06Despite the constant fears, Antoci says stopping one of the major financing channels of organized
06:13crime in Italy was worth it.
06:45Over the next five years, Giuseppe Antoci will be part of the Civil Liberties, Justice
06:56and Home Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, focusing on organized crime.
07:05Many people think that travelling by cruise ships means they are using a more environmental-friendly
07:11form of travel.
07:12But according to new research by DR News, in Europe, an average cruise ship emits approximately
07:19double as much CO2 per passenger as a plane over the same distance.
07:24Experts say even travelling by car is better.
07:27Passengers arriving via cruise ship were unaware the ship emits more climate-polluting
07:52gases than average.
08:08Experts say that significant efforts to reduce CO2 emissions depend on the shipbuilders
08:14and operators.
08:16Political initiatives could also incite companies to adopt greener practices.
08:25Some people prefer the train, including for transporting their car.
08:29The car-carrying train, which involves loading your vehicle onto a train while you travel
08:34comfortably in a passenger wagon, still exists in Austria.
08:39The journey to Croatia from Vienna through Slovenia lasts 14 hours and guarantees a good
08:44carbon footprint.
08:53The train circulates three times a week, but only in summer.
08:56It transported 2,500 vehicles last year, which is four times more than three years ago.
09:01Like this French expat living in Prague, one third of passengers travel with their
09:04car.
09:23And for many people, like these Austrian bikers, the climate crisis is a game-changer.
09:40After a night spent in their cabin, passengers wake up the next morning in Croatia.
09:44They just need to unload their car and off they go.
09:55Car-carrying trains also exist in Germany, but not anymore in France, where they weren't
10:00considered profitable enough.
10:03A state of emergency has been declared in Massara on the Greek island of Crete due to
10:12water shortages.
10:13Water reserves are constantly decreasing and levels in the Fenermeni Dam, which supplies
10:20water and irrigation to the area, has fallen to an alarming level.
10:25Illegal pumping of water from the dam, which led to a loss of 3 million cubic meters of
10:30water combined to low rainfall and hot weather, have created a shortage.
10:56To deal with the water crisis and the shore essential needs, the municipality of Faistos
11:20imposed water restrictions on the irrigation of crops.
