00:00Preliminary results in Romania's presidential election show nationalist candidate George Simeon has won the first round of votes, setting the stage for a run-off thriller.
00:11Houthi rebels in Yemen fired a ballistic missile at Israel's main airport, injuring four people.
00:21Several men have been arrested in England over an alleged attack plot on an unspecified target in London.
00:30Billionaire investor Warren Buffett announces it will retire from leading his Berkshire Hathaway business group at the end of the year.
00:40A historic night for Romania in this first round of election.
00:44The far right candidate, George Simeon, won by far the first round of the presidential election with over 30% of the vote.
00:52In the first couple of hours, the candidate of the coalition was the second, but the night ends with maybe a surprise.
01:02A surprise that leaves the independent candidate, Nicu Shordan, the mayor of Bucharest, in the second round of the presidential election.
01:0918th of May, the presidential final, let's say, we are a great stake for Romania.
01:18We are before the final and looking to find out whether it will be the far right candidate.
01:24Or if we will have the pro-European candidate, Nicu Shordan, because this is at stake for Romanians and this election in 18th May.
01:33The road for Romania to stay in the European family or maybe Romania to look towards the east.
01:43Absolutely.
01:44Which is very concerning right now.
01:45So everything will be decided in the next two weeks.
01:53Four people have been injured after a missile fired from Yemen was launched at Israel's main airport on Sunday.
02:02Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for the attack.
02:05It was not immediately clear whether the projectile, which landed in a field near the Ben Gurion International Airport, was the missile or an interceptor from Israel's air defense systems.
02:18It left a deep crater in the ground.
02:22As a result of the incident, flights were briefly halted.
02:26The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have been striking Israel throughout the war in Gaza in solidarity with Palestinians.
02:37The missiles are normally intercepted.
02:40Israel's defense minister has vowed vengeance for the strike.
02:44Several Iranian men have been arrested over an alleged plot to attack an unspecified target in London, according to UK police.
02:58The Metropolitan Police said five men aged between 29 and 46 were detained, four of whom are Iranian.
03:06The arrests were made in different parts of England, including in the region of Greater Manchester, by British counter-terrorism officers.
03:16According to the police, the attack plot targeted a single location that was not being named for operational reasons.
03:24Police have not determined whether the alleged plot is connected to Iran,
03:28but Britain's domestic intelligence service has warned of a growing threat from attackers linked to Tehran.
03:36Separately, three other Iranian men were arrested in London on suspicion of a national security offense, according to police.
03:43Billionaire investor Warren Buffett on Saturday announced his intention to step aside and retire as CEO of his Berkshire Hathaway Group at the end of the year.
03:59The 94-year-old said he will recommend to the company's board on Sunday that Vice Chairman Greg Abel replace him.
04:05Time has arrived where Greg should become the chief executive officer of the company at year-end.
04:18We'll go forward with that operation and I will play with a Ouija board or whatever.
04:26Thousands of investors in the Omaha arena gave Buffett a prolonged standing ovation after the announcement.
04:36His resignation after 60 years of leading the company will bring to an end an incredible tenure
04:43in which he turned Berkshire from a failed textile company into a nearly €1 trillion corporation.
