00:00Four people, including minors, were injured in a violent axe attack on a train near Paris,
00:07according to French media reports citing police sources.
00:11One victim reportedly had their hand severed while another had their skull split open.
00:16The two others were less seriously injured.
00:19They were hurt after a fight broke out aboard the French train line in the morning.
00:25What is shocking is that it happened at 8 a.m.
00:28It was the day of the school return, since we had just spent 15 days on holiday.
00:31That means that they had perhaps made an appointment there.
00:34So what is really shocking about this is that it could be assumed
00:39that they were going to their school with weapons.
00:46The state rail operator said because the train was halted at the station at the time of the incident,
00:53the violence did not affect traffic on the line.
01:01Authorities in Aldaya, in Spain's Valencia region, say rescue and search operations are
01:07continuing on Monday following the aftermath of last week's catastrophic flood.
01:13Emergency services say they searched the Bonaire shopping centre and pumped water out of its
01:18underground car park.
01:21According to firefighters, the car park had been filled with 260,000 cubic metres of water
01:26from the flooding.
01:28Early on Sunday, military personnel joined residents to clear some streets of mud and
01:33wreckage amidst the response.
01:36Meanwhile, emergency services in the Spanish capital, Madrid, ramped up efforts over the
01:43weekend to help residents affected by the deadly flash flood in Valencia.
01:51Separate it by categories, separate it by groups.
01:53On one side we put the pasta, on the other the rice, cans, baby food, so that when they
01:58arrive at their destination, they don't have to start looking, but have a very clear idea
02:01of what's in each box to make a much more effective delivery.
02:05Valencia was among the areas worst affected by the devastating floods that hit several
02:10regions in Spain.
02:12Authorities have recovered 217 bodies so far, with 213 of them in the eastern Valencia region.
02:21Catastrophic flooding continues in Spain, with Barcelona airport and the surroundings
02:29the latest area to be affected.
02:32Videos have been shared on social media of water pouring into a terminal at Barcelona
02:38airport.

02:46the rain started this morning.
02:51Moldova's pro-western president, Maya Sandu, has won a second term in a pivotal presidential
03:04run-off on Sunday.
03:06Sandu took more than 55% of the vote in an election overshadowed by claims of interference.
03:13Moldova was under an unprecedented attack in the history of the whole of Europe.
03:18Dirty money, illegal voting, involvement in the electoral processes of hostile forces
03:26from outside the country and of criminal groups, lies, inducing hatred and affliction in our society.
03:34Our people have united, and the freedom and the citizens have won.
03:41Sandu's challenger was the Russia-friendly former Prosecutor General Alexander Stoyanoglu,
03:45who finished well behind her with just under 45%.
03:50Moldovan police said on Sunday they had reasonable evidence of organized transportation of voters
03:56illegal under the country's electoral code to polling stations.
04:00And the foreign ministry said polling stations in Germany and the UK had been targeted by
04:05false bomb threats intended to stop the voting process.
04:09In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Moldova applied to join the European Union.
04:15It was granted candidate status in June of that year, and in summer this year, Brussels
04:20agreed to start membership negotiations.
04:23The shift to the West annoyed Moscow, but it denies meddling in the election.
04:33Protesters in Belgrade have demanded the arrest of officials just days after a concrete canopy
04:38collapsed at a railway station, killing 14 people and injuring three.
04:42Police formed a cordon outside the Ministry of Construction and Infrastructure as several
04:47thousand people called for ranking government ministers, including the prime minister, to step down.
05:01The concrete canopy that ran along the front of the railway station in the northern city
05:05of Novi Sad collapsed suddenly on Friday.
05:08Fourteen people were killed, including a six-year-old girl.
05:12The three injured, who were between 18 and 24 years old, all had to have limbs amputated.
05:18The train station has been renovated twice in recent years, and critics of Serbia's government
05:23attributed the disaster to rampant corruption, lack of transparency and sloppy renovations.
05:29Serbia's government has promised a thorough investigation, with prosecutors saying they've
05:33already questioned more than two dozen people.
05:36But critics believe that justice is unlikely to be served with the government in control
05:40of the judicial system and the police.
05:46Wincey Jones, the music producer and composer who worked with Michael Jackson and Frank
05:51Sinatra, has died at age 91.
05:54His legacy ranged from producing Jackson's historic Thriller album to collaborating with
06:00Ray Charles and hundreds of other recording artists.
06:04Jones' career spread over 70 years, winning 28 Grammy Awards and being one of the first
06:09black executives to thrive in Hollywood.
06:12He was named one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century by Time magazine.
