00:00Up to a million people faced displacement as Israeli bombardment continues in Lebanon,
00:05including in the country's capital of Beirut.
00:10The far-right anti-immigrant Freedom Party won the most votes in Austria's national elections
00:15according to exit polls.
00:20Several people were injured after guided aerial bombs hit Zaporizhia, with the city's regional
00:25head saying more may still be trapped under the rubble.
00:30Around 39,000 people attended Pope Francis' farewell mass on the final day of the pontiff's
00:36visit to Belgium.
00:42Israel continued its non-stop bombardment across Lebanon, including suburbs of the capital
00:47city Beirut.
00:49More than 20 Hezbollah members were killed alongside the group's chief Hassan Nasrallah
00:53on Friday, according to the IDF.
00:57Hezbollah confirmed that a strike killed top official Nabil Kaouk, the seventh such death
01:01in recent days.
01:03However, they released a statement rejecting Israeli media claims that Abu Ali Raida was
01:09killed.
01:10The killing of several top Hezbollah commanders in recent weeks has dealt a huge blow to the
01:14group engaged in cross-border fighting with Israel since last October.
01:19Hundreds of thousands of people have been driven from their homes in Lebanon by the
01:23latest strikes.
01:25The government estimates around a quarter of a million are in shelters and the prime
01:28minister said up to a million face displacement.
01:32The Lebanese health ministry says over 1,000 people have been killed in less than two weeks
01:37by Israeli airstrikes.
01:43The far right won the most votes in Austria's national elections, according to preliminary
01:47exit polls.
01:50Anti-immigrant Freedom Party headed by Herbert Kickl could win the biggest share of votes
01:54with polls predicting they have around 29%.
01:59While the party has been in government several times before, it has never topped a national
02:03parliamentary vote.
02:06Polls put the conservative Austrian People's Party led by Chancellor Carl Neihammer in
02:10second place with about 26%.
02:14The far right and conservatives haven't ruled out working together, but Neihammer has said
02:19he refuses to work with Kickl.
02:24Centre-left Social Democrats are polling at around 20%.
02:29The Greens are currently in a ruling coalition with the conservatives and analysts say even
02:34if the Freedom Party win the most votes, it will likely not have enough seats or partners
02:38to form a government.
02:44At least 13 people were injured after Russia attacked the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia
02:48with guided bombs overnight.
02:51The aerial bombs reportedly hit the city 13 times, with one of the strikes hitting and
02:56partially destroying a residential high-rise building.
02:59The head of the city's regional military administration said more people may still be trapped under
03:04the rubble.
03:05Meanwhile, the death toll has risen to 10 after Russia attacked a hospital in Ukraine's
03:10city of Sumy on Saturday, with another 22 injured.
03:14Russia reportedly hit the hospital twice.
03:17Most of the fatalities occurred during the second strike, which hit as emergency services
03:21arrived at the scene and as patients evacuated.
03:24125 Ukrainian drones were shot down over Russia on Sunday, the country's defence ministry
03:30said, sparking a wildfire and setting an apartment block on fire.
03:34A local governor in the Russian city of Voronezh said a residential apartment was hit.
03:39No casualties were reported.
04:10And once again, he referred to the marketplace in relation to the impact it has on social
04:15injustice and social inequality.
04:18But for all this adoring crowd here today, it's undoubted that the visit of Pope Francis
04:22to Belgium has been dominated by the legacy of child sexual abuse, both here and across
04:28the world.
04:29He was called upon by Prime Minister Ducroix, by the King of Belgium and by survivors themselves
04:34to compensate those who have suffered and to do more.
