00:00Swedish prosecutors open a probe into suspected sabotage after a data cable was ruptured in
00:07the Baltic Sea on Sunday.
00:11People around the world commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust by paying tribute
00:17to the millions killed by Nazi Germany.
00:22Swedish prosecutors have opened a preliminary investigation into suspected sabotage after
00:27a data cable was ruptured in the Baltic Sea on Sunday.
00:31Prosecutors have also ordered the detention of the vessel suspected of damaging the fiber
00:35optic cable connecting Latvia and the Swedish island of Gotland.
00:40The Swedish Coast Guard said they were positioned near the vessel, which local media identified
00:44as the Malta-flagged Vezion.
00:47According to data from Vessel Finder, it left a port in Russia several days ago and was
00:51navigating between Gotland and Latvia at the time the damage is believed to have occurred.
00:57Latvia's state radio and television centre said it recorded disruptions in data transmission
01:02on the cable and concluded there was a rupture.
01:27Sunday's damage follows a string of incidents that have heightened fears of Russian sabotage
01:37and spying in the strategic region.
01:40Earlier this month, NATO launched a mission dubbed Baltic Sentry to provide enhanced surveillance
01:45and deterrence in the Baltic Sea.
01:52Thousands marched on the streets of Brussels calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza
01:56and urging both the Belgian government and the EU to sanction Israel.
02:01Demonstrators said the temporary ceasefire offered those in Gaza respite, but that the
02:05agreement does not yet guarantee the end of the conflict for Palestinians.
02:11This protest was organised to demand a ceasefire in Gaza, but when that ceasefire was announced,
02:16violence in the West Bank intensified, leading many to wonder what's in store for the future
02:22of the Palestinian people.
02:23It could be that it's quiet in Gaza, but in the West Bank there is an escalation of
02:28violence and of violation of human rights, and we are also a little bit afraid of what
02:33Trump decided.
02:34He decided to stop the sanctions against more extreme colon, so that's why we can be afraid
02:40of the messages he's sending to Netanyahu.
02:43I don't feel like the political class is doing what they're supposed to do.
02:46I feel like the pressure has to come from people like us and from, you know, grassroots
02:52organizations and from, I don't know, boycotting and people all over the world saying that
02:57just this is not okay.
03:00Organisers on social media urged the Belgian government to impose a military embargo against
03:04Israel, support the ongoing case before the ICJ regarding Israel's conduct in the war,
03:10and for the European Union to suspend its association agreement with Israel on the grounds
03:15of human rights violations.
03:21People around the world are paying tribute to the victims of the Holocaust on its 80th
03:26anniversary.
03:27Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof, among with hundreds of people, attended a
03:33Holocaust commemoration in Amsterdam on Sunday, held at the Auschwitz Memorial in Woutenpark.
03:40Jacques Grishever from the Dutch Auschwitz Committee reflects on the enduring pain of
03:45the Holocaust.
03:47The pain hasn't gone away, but it has given me the strength to fight for a world where
03:53Auschwitz is no longer just a promise, but also a reality.
03:59Auschwitz is more than a commemoration, it is an assignment.
04:06Auschwitz survivor Barbara Donetska, who was 10 years old at the time, carries the memory
04:12of those who perished in the camps, especially her four-year-old friend Helena. Shaken by
04:17Helena's death, she returns to the camp to pay tribute.
04:21I wonder how I could have survived the hunger, the cold, the fear of life, above all.
04:29Oh, how I cried.
04:32Nazi Germany claimed over six million Jewish lives, but also millions of others, including
04:38Poles, Roma and Sinti, Soviet prisoners of war, gay people and others targeted for elimination
04:45in Adolf Hitler's racial ideology.
