00:45At least three people have been killed and five others seriously wounded in an attack
00:49at a festival in the western German city of Zollingen.
00:53Ukrainian media citing police sources said the weapon used was believed to be a knife.
00:58Witnesses alerted police shortly after 9.30 p.m. local time after the assailant stabbed
01:03several people at random.
01:06Police said the attacker was on the run and that so far they have very little information
01:10about the man.
01:11They also said they believe the stabbings were carried out by a lone attacker.
01:30Zollingen was holding a festival of diversity to mark the city's 650th anniversary.
01:36It was supposed to run until Sunday but has now been cancelled.
01:45Ukraine's military says it used high-precision US-supplied glide bombs for strikes in Russia's
01:50Kursk region.
01:52A commander with Ukraine's air force published a video on Thursday night purporting to show
01:56a Russian platoon base being hit in Kursk.
02:00He said the attack with GBU-39 bombs, which was supplied by the United States, resulted
02:05in Russian casualties and the destruction of equipment.
02:09Many of Ukraine's international allies oppose the country using donated weapons for anything
02:13but defensive purposes.
02:15However, Ukraine has argued that its Kursk incursion is essentially defensive and aimed
02:21at creating a buffer zone to minimize attacks on Ukrainian soil.
02:25Meanwhile, the United States has imposed a fresh round of sanctions on more than 400
02:30entities and individuals for supporting Russia's war effort.
02:34That includes sanctions on Chinese companies that American officials believe are helping
02:38Moscow skirt Western sanctions and build up its military.
02:47A 30-metre Ukrainian flag has been unfurled outside the European Commission building in
02:52Brussels to mark the country's state flag day.
02:55The ceremony on Friday was attended by representatives of the Commission as well as the European
03:00Parliament, the Diplomatic Corps and several Ukrainians.
03:04European Parliament Vice President Sophie Wilmers said that she was pleased to once
03:08again express the steadfast support of the European Parliament for Ukraine.

03:57endorsing Donald Trump in November's race for the White House.

04:07states because he believes his presence in the race would help Democratic rival Kamala
04:11Harris.

04:17nephew of President John F. Kennedy, both heavyweights in Democratic Party history.
04:23He acknowledged his decision to endorse Trump had caused tension within his immediate family.

04:34endorsement.
04:38He called him a great guy and said he was respected by everybody.
