00:01Russia marked the 80th anniversary of its defeat of Nazi Germany with an enormous military parade in Moscow.
00:10The event is seen as a show of force of Russia on the international stage.
00:16Foreign leaders, including China's Xi Jinping and Brazil's Lula da Silva,
00:21join President Vladimir Putin in the Russian capital, as well as Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico.
00:30Speaking at the parade, Putin hailed Russian troops fighting in Ukraine.
00:36Russia was and will be a dangerous threat for nazism, russophobity, anti-semitism.
00:44It will be a fight against mischievousness,
00:47what are the supporters of these aggressive, destructive ideas.
00:52The truth and the truth are on our side.
00:56The whole country, the society, the people,
01:01support the members of special operations.
01:05We are proud of their courage and courage.
01:09The power of the spirit that has always given us only victory.
01:14Serbia's President Aleksandr Vucic made his first trip to Russia since the invasion on Wednesday,
01:22despite the EU's message that visiting Moscow could derail Serbia's ambitions to join the bloc.
01:27Denmark has summoned the acting U.S. ambassador in the country for explanations,
01:38following a report saying the U.S. is stepping up intelligence-gathering efforts regarding Greenland.
01:43The report published by the Wall Street Journal said several high-ranking intelligence officials had directed intelligence agency heads
01:52to learn more about Greenland's independence movement and sentiment about U.S. resource extraction there.
01:58I have read this article in the Wall Street Journal,
02:01and it scares me a lot because we don't spy between friends.
02:07And I can't know if it's happening because it's in an article.
02:11But it doesn't look particularly targeted by those who say it.
02:16And it scares me.
02:17Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen echoed the foreign minister's concerns on Friday,
02:22saying you cannot spy against an ally.
02:26Last month, she said U.S. statements about annexing the island were disrespectful
02:31and insisted the territory was not up for sale.
02:38The Security Service of Ukraine announced on Friday that it exposed a suspected Hungarian military intelligence network.
02:45It's said in a statement that it was the first time in Ukraine's modern history
02:51that foreign espionage activities from an EU country were discovered.
02:55Hungary's foreign minister responded to the allegations calling the claims Ukrainian propaganda.
03:00In Ukraine, they often use Hungarian propaganda.
03:06It's such a Hungarian propaganda that, in many cases,
03:10there is no basis for any basis.
03:13So that's why I ask everyone,
03:15that in all of this Ukrainian propaganda,
03:19that in all of this Ukrainian propaganda,
03:20that they can't report the information on the EU.
03:22that in all of this,
03:24that they can't report it as a response.
03:25And then, if we get any information,
03:27we can speak with it as well.
03:29Now that we have to do that.
03:31Until then,
03:33I need to be able to report it as an optimistic propaganda.
03:36Two suspects, both former members of the Ukrainian military, have been detained and faced charges
03:43of treason. They're accused of collecting information on Ukrainian forces in the Zakarpatyah
03:48region, searching for vulnerabilities in defense systems and studying the sociopolitical views
03:54of local residents.
03:58China's April trade data shows exports to the U.S. fell sharply, though overall exports
04:03rose over 8 percent, driven by export to other nations.
04:09The figures suggest President Donald Trump's tariffs are accelerating a global supply chain
04:13shift away from China.
04:16Shipments to the U.S. plunged 21 percent in April due to American tariffs, and China's imports
04:21from the U.S. also dropped.
04:22The U.S. and Chinese officials meet in Geneva on Saturday, but analysts doubt a full tariff
04:29rollback and predict a further drop in China's U.S.-bound exports.
04:32The supply chain restructuring sped up by the pandemic and trade barriers has seen manufacturers
04:39diversify away from China.
04:41While the U.S. remains a key market, the EU and Southeast Asia are China's larger regional
04:47export destinations.
04:48In the first four months of this year, exports to ASEAN, Latin America, India and Africa also
04:55strong double-digit growth.
04:56The data comes as Beijing announced measures earlier this week to support its own economy,
05:02which faces challenges in the housing and banking sectors.
05:11Ukrainians lay flowers to pay their respects to WWII veterans on Europe Day, commemorating
05:18the signing of the Schumann Declaration on the 9th of May 1950.
05:23The declaration was an ambitious plan to secure long-term peace in post-war Europe, and is
05:28considered the beginning of what now is the EU.
05:33Some hold up pictures of relatives who fought in the conflict, but also remember those who
05:37are now fighting.
05:57Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine is the deadliest conflict Europe has seen since
06:01the end of WWII in 1945.
06:10At least five civilians were killed following an intense exchange of fire between Indian
06:15and Pakistani soldiers along the line of control that divides Kashmir.
06:20Indian military officials said they responded after Pakistani troops barraged their posts overnight.
06:26People in border towns said the firing continued well into Friday morning.
06:31Four civilians were killed in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.
06:35On the Indian side of the border, a woman was killed and two other civilians were injured,
06:39according to police.
06:41Tensions have soared since a tourist site in India-controlled Kashmir was attacked by militants,
06:46killing 26 people.
06:48On Wednesday, India conducted airstrikes on several sites in Pakistani territory, which Pakistan
06:54vowed to respond to.
06:56The crisis has disrupted daily life for people in both India and Pakistan, with schools being
07:01shut and flight operations suspended in border regions.
07:08The Irish Prime Minister, Michael Martin, has described Gaza as hell on earth and criticized
07:14the EU's lack of response to the humanitarian situation in Gaza, and reiterated calls to reopen
07:21the EU-Israel Association agreement.
07:25The Prime Minister met with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to discuss this as well
07:30as the ongoing trade war with the U.S.
07:33Speaking with Euronews, he said Ireland condemns Hamas terrorism and wants all the hostages kidnapped
07:40by Hamas released, but says Israel's war has lost its moral compass.
07:45It's quite shocking what is now happening within Gaza.
07:49To have an effective blockade for 50 days and more, 60 days maybe now, in terms of food,
07:55in terms of the essentials of life, the bare necessities of life, in my view, must be considered
08:01a war crime.
08:03And I don't say that easily.
08:06I want a resolution.
08:07We want a restoration of the ceasefire.
08:09We want the release of all hostages.
08:11Israel launched its war in Gaza in response to the Hamas attack on October 7th of 2023.
08:17In my view, it was shocking to take people as hostages.
08:20These were innocent people at a concert in their kibbutz.
08:24I went to kibbutz Beirut myself to see at first hand the impact of the horrific Hamas attack
08:31on Israel, and that was shocking and horrible, and I've condemned it from the outset, and
08:37I went there to show empathy with the people who had been attacked.
08:40So all those, I mean, the hostages should have been released a long time ago.
08:43But the war that has been waged in response, in my view, has lost any moral compass at this
08:50stage in terms of its unacceptable impact on the civilian population and on children.
08:57Israel described in the past the Irish policy as extreme anti-Israeli.
09:03You can watch the whole interview next Tuesday on the Europe Conversation.
09:11The world waited in excitement to find out the identity of the new pope after white smoke
09:16billowed above the Sistine Chapel indicating that the conclave had reached a successful
09:20ballot.
09:22In comes the American Cardinal, Robert Francis Prevost.
09:26Born in September 1955 in Chicago, Prevost, who's taken the name Leo XIV, became the first
09:32U.S. born to become head of the Catholic Church.
09:35Prevost has extensive experience, having lived in Peru for many years, serving first as a
09:40missionary and then archbishop.
09:42In 2014, the late Pope Francis appointed him to run the Diocese of Chiclayo, where he remained
09:48in that position until 2023.
09:51Pope Leo XIV also acquired Peruvian citizenship during his residence in the Latin American
09:56country.
09:57In 2023, Francis brought Prevost to the Vatican to serve as the powerful head of the office
10:02that vets bishop nominations from around the world.
10:05He also simultaneously served as president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America,
10:11overseeing the Catholic hierarchy in the part of the world with the most Catholics.
10:15Francis was also twice elected general or top leader of the Augustinian religious order,
10:20founded by St. Augustine in the 13th century.
