00:38from heavily destroyed districts within the city,
00:41where Manny had only just returned to following Israel's last incursion in July.
00:46Thousands were forced to flee the city, carrying essentials like tents, backpacks and blankets.

01:42so we can basically prevent attacks.
01:48The seven-day music festival, located on an island, is attended by 95,000 people daily.
01:54The event is particularly vulnerable to an attack
01:57due to its accessibility by boat from Budapest.

02:19The 108-hectare site is also monitored by more than 50 CCTV security cameras.
02:26But security personnel warn that no festival is totally safe from violence.

02:45face significant opposition from holiday homeowners and rental agencies.
02:50But despite ongoing criticism following the wind farm's launch,
02:54they found an additional purpose beyond generating green electricity.

03:01with a local company offering boat tours that allow visitors to view the turbines up close.

03:26saying it didn't comply with the environmental protection procedures
03:30and the construction permits are therefore illegal.

03:43New lava cooling equipment intended to protect the power station in southwest Iceland
03:48from lava flow in the event of another volcanic eruption has been installed and tested.

04:07The area has been hit with eruptions and quakes since last November,
04:12and another eruption is predicted to happen within the next two weeks.
04:19Severe flooding has forced people displaced by Sudan's civil war to relocate once again,
04:24adding further suffering to the plight of families already exhausted by conflict.
04:29More than 11,000 people, including refugees and local communities,
04:34have been impacted by the floods and heavy rains in the past two weeks, according to the UNHCR.

04:44describing the needs, including access to water, hygiene and sanitation, as huge.
