00:00The U.S. says it will send a further $425 million in military aid to Kiev to help Ukraine
00:07fight off Russian troops.
00:11A police officer is killed and 40 other people injured in Russian strikes on Ukraine's second
00:16largest city, Kharkiv.
00:21Volunteers begin to leave some of the worst flood-hit areas of Valencia as anger simmers
00:26over the government's response.
00:31A vigil takes place in Novi Sad for the 14 people killed after the concrete roof at the
00:36entrance of a railway station collapsed.
00:45The Pentagon has said it will send $425 million in military aid to Ukraine as Kiev prepares
00:51to face Russian forces augmented by more than 10,000 North Korean troops.
00:57The new aid package includes air defense interceptors for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile
01:02Systems and munitions for the HIMARS rocket system.
01:06Meanwhile Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico has pushed back against Western military
01:11support for Ukraine.
01:12He accused European countries of not being interested in a peaceful resolution to the
01:17war and said providing Kiev with weapons only prolongs the fighting.
01:21But in the Latvian capital Riga, Estonia's Prime Minister Kristin Michal urged European
01:27countries to follow the Baltic example by providing Kiev with the means to win the war.
01:32In 2024, Estonia pledged more than 100 million euros in military aid for Ukraine, with Latvia
01:38promising 112 million.
01:45At least one police officer has been killed and 40 other people injured in Russian missile
01:49strikes on Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv.
01:53The Prosecutor General's office said that a location used by police officers had been
01:58hit without clarifying what the site was.
02:01The attack, which local police say was carried out with S-400 missiles, left at least 10
02:06people injured, including one rescue worker.
02:09Kharkiv's governor, however, said that Russia had used S-300 missiles in its attack, but
02:14the type of weaponry used hasn't been confirmed.
02:17Meanwhile, further north in Sumy, a nine-story building was hit by a Russian airstrike on
02:22Friday evening.
02:24Five people were injured, including a pregnant woman and several cars were also damaged in
02:29the strike.
02:30Sumy lies around 32 kilometers from Russia's Kursk region, where Ukrainian troops made
02:35a surprise incursion in August in a bid to divert the focus away from the front line.
02:45Volunteers in Spain have begun to leave some of the worst flood-hit areas after taking
02:50part in clean-up operations following what's been called the worst natural disaster in
02:55decades.
02:56The extensive flooding has sparked a wave of solidarity across the country, with hundreds
03:00of people arriving to the affected areas to help remove the mud.
03:04The number of people coming to help has been so high that authorities have asked them not
03:09to drive or walk because they're blocking the roads needed by emergency services.
03:14Torrential rain and hailstorms on Tuesday caused flooding across multiple regions, including
03:20the hardest-hit eastern province of Valencia.
03:23Two hundred and two deaths have been confirmed in Valencia alone, with a further three bodies
03:28found in other regions.
03:31But there's been anger among many people in the affected areas who say they haven't been
03:35given enough support by local authorities or emergency services.
03:45A vigil has taken place in northern Serbia for the 14 people killed when the concrete
03:50roof above the entrance of a railway station collapsed.
03:54The general manager of the Novi Sad hospital said at least three people were in a critical
03:58condition with two undergoing surgery for life-threatening injuries.
04:03Emergency responders say they fear the death toll could rise as rescue teams continue to
04:08clear away the rubble with heavy machinery.
04:12Serbia's state railway company said the accident happened just before noon on Friday.
04:17The company said the construction above the station entrance wasn't part of reconstruction
04:22work which had recently taken place.
04:26Serbia's prime minister said the roof was built in 1964 and an investigation is underway
04:31to determine what happened and who was responsible.
04:36Serbia's government has declared Saturday a day of mourning.
