00:00Thousands of protesters joined a Paris rally with France's Marine Le Pen to protest a court
00:06ban preventing her from taking part in the next presidential election.
00:11The Israeli military has announced the deployment of troops to a newly established security
00:16corridor in southern Gaza.
00:21Convicted last week of embezzling public funds and banned from running for office, French
00:26far-right politician Marine Le Pen addressed a crowd of her supporters on Sunday in Paris.
00:31The National Rally Party leader said she had fought injustice for 30 years and was prepared
00:38to continue the fight.
00:56Thousands of supporters gathered at Place Vauban near the tomb of Napoleon in Paris
01:10for what was billed as a protest, but observers said it had all the markings of a campaign
01:16rally.
01:17Last Monday, a court convicted Le Pen of embezzling EU funds.
01:22She was handed a partially suspended prison sentence and banned from running in elections
01:27for five years.
01:31U.S. President's Bologna adviser Elon Musk has said he hopes that the U.S. and Europe
01:36can create a very close, stronger partnership and eventually establish a zero-tariff free
01:43trade zone.
01:44Musk said this in a virtual speech at Italy's ruling far-right legal party Congress on Saturday,
01:49adding that he had advised U.S. President Donald Trump about a potential free trade
01:54zone.
02:19Musk's comment came after China hit back at the U.S. with 34% tariffs, which caused
02:34markets to slide even further by margins not seen since the COVID pandemic.
02:39Meanwhile, on Sunday, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reiterated the EU's commitment
02:45to negotiating with the U.S., while also saying it will defend its interests through
02:50proportionate countermeasures if necessary.
02:56The Israeli military has announced the deployment of troops to a newly established security
03:01corridor in southern Gaza.
03:04Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the new Mora Corridor on Wednesday and suggested
03:09it would cut off the southern city of Rafah, which Israel had ordered evacuated from the
03:13rest of Gaza.
03:15It was not immediately clear how many troops had been deployed.
03:19Meanwhile, new phone footage has been released belonging to one of the 15 Palestinian medics
03:25whose bodies were found buried in a mass grave last week.
03:28It appears to contradict Israeli claims that its military opened fire on their vehicles
03:33because they were advancing suspiciously on nearby troops, without headlights or emergency
03:38signals.
03:39The footage shows the medics driving slowly, with their emergency lights flashing, logos
03:44visible as they pulled up to help an ambulance that had come under fire earlier.
03:49An Israeli military official said Saturday that their initial account was mistaken and
03:53that the incident was under thorough examination.
03:58Yemen's Houthi rebels have said at least two people were killed in overnight U.S. airstrikes
04:04on the city of Saada, a Houthi stronghold.
04:08Footage aired by Houthi-controlled media showed a strike collapsing what appeared to be a
04:12two-story building.
04:14But video posted online by U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday suggests the overall
04:19death toll in Yemen may be higher than the Houthis acknowledge.
04:23A post of his on X showed footage of what appeared to be black-and-white drone footage
04:27of a strike on over 70 people gathered in a circle.
04:31Yemen's rebel-controlled news agency said that those present had gathered for a social
04:36Eid visit in Hodeidah and had no connection to the Houthis' attacks on ships in the Red
04:40Sea.
04:41The Houthis themselves, however, have not acknowledged any strike on Hodeidah during
04:45that time with such a high casualty count.
