00:00Dozens of people were evacuated from their village in Poland after an unexploded missile
00:05from World War II was found.
00:12Technicians from France's high-speed railway network continued to repair fire damage caused
00:17by arsonists hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
00:22Targeting remote locations far from the capital, the apparently coordinated attack sought to
00:27cut off rail routes into the city from all directions.
00:31The fires were predominantly set in pipes containing critical signaling cables for the
00:36system known as the TGV.
00:39Railway operator SNCF said security across the network had been stepped up in response.
00:45The fires, reported before dawn on Friday, paralyzed train travel into Paris for around
00:50800,000 people across Europe, including athletes heading to the opening ceremony of the Olympic
00:56Games.
00:57SNCF said in a statement that there had been a gradual improvement to services, but there
01:01would still be disruptions on some lines.
01:04And the CEO of SNCF said an investigation is underway to find what he called the irresponsible
01:10people behind the attacks.
01:17Former US President Donald Trump has slammed Vice President Kamala Harris' remarks on the
01:22Israel-Hamas war as disrespectful.
01:25He was speaking at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, where he held talks with Israel's
01:29Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
01:32On Thursday, Netanyahu met Harris at the White House for talks largely focused on the status
01:37of Gaza ceasefire negotiations.
01:40Harris said it was time to end the war and said she was concerned about the dire humanitarian
01:45situation in Gaza.
01:48Asked if her remarks might have an impact on ongoing ceasefire talks, Netanyahu said,
01:53I think time will tell.
01:56The Israeli military operation in Gaza was sparked by an incursion into Israel by Hamas
02:00on October 7, which saw around 1,200 people killed and 250 others kidnapped.
02:08The IDF operation in Gaza has been devastating, with at least 38,000 Palestinians killed and
02:13around 80 percent of the strip's population displaced.
02:22Dozens of people were evacuated from their village in Poland after an unexploded missile
02:26from World War II was found.
02:30The Katyusha missile was located in a field near the village of Klobovo, where heavy fighting
02:35took place in March of 1945.
02:38The explosive device is known for its large field of fire, and military officials set
02:42a safety zone of 1,500 meters.
02:46A local police officer said a section of the S3 express road, located near Klobovo, was
02:52closed off and around 80 residents were evacuated from the village.
03:01Holiday goers who planned a beach holiday for their summer getaway may have been surprised
03:06when they saw long streaks of seaweed floating on the surface of the ocean.
03:11The algae has plagued the Adriatic Sea for weeks in Ancona, in Italy, but is luckily
03:17not harmful to swimmers.
03:20After its disappearance for a few days, it has unfortunately returned, as the slimy substance
03:25is believed to thrive in hot temperatures.
03:29While some bathers found the seaweed unpleasant and headed straight for the shower after returning
03:34from the water, others seem less bothered by the sticky situation.
03:43More than 30 people have been injured in southeast Serbia after a van carrying illegal migrants
03:48overturned on the highway near Bela Palanka.
03:52Local police said the accident happened on Friday morning when the van carrying around
03:5650 people ran off the road.
04:00The injured were treated by emergency crews from nearby Nishin Pirot.
04:05An investigation is still ongoing, but some reports say that the driver was fleeing from
04:09police and lost control of the vehicle.
04:18North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has visited a cemetery outside the capital Pyongyang to
04:23mark the 71st anniversary of the Korean War armistice.
04:28North Korea's version of history says that America started the Korean War and that the
04:32North won it.
04:34But most historians agree that North Korea started the war and that it ended with an
04:38armistice not a peace treaty.
04:41The commemoration event took place on Friday, but North Korean state media often report
04:46the news the day after it happens.
