00:00Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is ready to meet Russian President Vladimir
00:06Putin personally in Istanbul on Thursday.
00:09The US and Iran have wrapped up a fourth round of negotiations to resolve the decades-long
00:16dispute over Tehran's nuclear program.
00:20Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday he would be in Turkey to negotiate
00:26with Russian President Vladimir Putin after the Russian leader proposed the talks without
00:31preconditions.
00:33Zelensky said he was willing to meet with President Putin personally.
00:37He stressed he was hoping for a complete ceasefire in Russia's war against his country starting
00:43on Monday.
00:44I will be on Thursday, on Thursday, on Thursday, in Turkey and I will wait for Putin in Turkey
00:51personally.
00:52And I hope Putin will not find a reason why he cannot do something.
00:58We are ready to speak to end the war.
01:02On Thursday, Turkey.
01:06President Trump supported.
01:08All leaders supported.
01:11The Ukrainian President's words came in response to President Putin's remarks to the media overnight
01:17on Sunday in which the Russian leader effectively ignored the idea of a ceasefire pushed for
01:23by Western leaders.
01:25Putin did not specify whether the talks on Thursday would involve Zelensky and him personally.
01:33The U.S. and Iran have wrapped up a fourth round of negotiations to resolve the decades-long
01:42dispute over Tehran's nuclear program.
01:45The talks mediated by Oman seek to limit Iran's nuclear activities in return for economic sanctions
01:52imposed by the U.S. to be lifted.
02:17It comes as U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to visit the Middle East this week.
02:22The American leader has repeatedly threatened military action against Iran if a deal isn't
02:27reached.
02:28Iran, on the other hand, has warned that they could create a nuclear weapon using their
02:32reserve of enriched uranium.
02:35The next round of negotiations has been agreed on, although the date and location still need
02:41to be set.
02:47On May the 13th, European Council President Antonio Costa will begin high-level meetings
02:53in six Western Balkan countries.
02:56He's focused to boost EU enlargement.
02:59The trip starts in Serbia facing a political crisis and ends in Albania at the European
03:06Political Community Summit on May the 16th.
03:09The European Union is clear that we need to credibilize this process.
03:16We need to give confidence to the countries of the Balkan occident.
03:20And I understand that after 20 or 10 years of waiting, its confidence becomes weak.
03:28So my visit has also this goal of renforcing the confidence and to say that you can be confident
03:37that we are really engaged from a political point of view to ensure this enlargement.
03:43And for that, we need to understand all this trajectory of the international reform reform.
03:50The last week, we celebrated the 75th anniversary of the declaration of Schumann, the first
03:58step for our Union today.
04:01And what really built the European Union is the desire to overcome the pain of the history.
04:11I understand very well the point that you built between the declaration of Schumann and the enlargement.
04:19But one of the countries, one of the main countries, which has put their candidature for
04:23to adhere to the European Union, the Serbian, the President, the 9th of May, is at Moscow,
04:29is at Moscow for the parade organized by Putin to celebrate the victory.
04:35Is this not a signal for you of something that doesn't go?
04:38J'ai eu l'opportunité d'avoir une réunion de travail avec Ursula von der Leyen
04:43et le Président Vucic il y a trois semaines et son compromis a été très clair sur la formation
04:51d'un nouveau gouvernement et sur l'approbation des trois réformes essentielles.
04:57Une sur la loi électorale, une deuxième sur la liberté de presse et finalement un paquet
05:06sur le combat à la corruption.
05:08Il a un grand consensus politique que cet élargissement, c'est le plus important investissement
05:14géopolitique qu'on peut faire dans la stabilité, dans la paix et dans la prospérité de toute
05:21l'Europe et notamment aussi des pays des Balkans occidentaux.
05:24On a l'impression de toute façon que l'Union Européenne est en train de redémarrer un processus
05:28en toute urgence pour des raisons de sécurité et de défense parce qu'on disait tout à l'heure
05:33il y a des puissances extérieures qui sont en train d'implanter leurs pions dans cette région.
05:37L'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie a accéléré le processus de l'Ukraine et de
05:43la Moldavie et donc c'est pas juste pour les pays des Balkans occidentaux d'être
05:50dépassé par l'Ukraine et la Moldavie et ça les pousse aussi pour aller plus vite.
05:57.
06:00Pope Leo XIV and Sunday presided over the first Reginald Charlie prayer of his pontificate,
06:07appealing for no more war in a message to world powers.
06:12Hosted by crowds as he appeared at St. Peter's Square, the Pontiff began the prayer in honor
06:17of the Virgin Mary on Mother's Day by urging young people to draw closer to the Church.
06:23The Pope then made an appeal for peace, starting with Ukraine.
06:42The Pope then turned his thoughts to Palestine, saying it was deeply hurt by events in Gaza.
06:59Mi addolora profondamente quanto accade nella striscia di Gaza. Cessi immediatamente il fuoco.
07:17Si presti soccorso umanitario alla stremata popolazione civile e siano liberati tutti gli ostaggi.
07:27Pope Leo XIV will be formally inaugurated at a Mass in St. Peter's Square next week Sunday on the 18th of May.
07:42Holocaust victims were commemorated during the March of the Living in the Hungarian capital on Sunday,
07:48with participants calling for more commitments to human dignity and the values of coexistence.
07:55Today we gather to mark the end of World War II that brought annihilating destruction
08:02and to mark the 21st, 81st commemoration of the deportation and alienation of Hungarian Jewry at Auschwitz.
08:11Today we have a vibrant Jewish community and a secure Jewish life in Hungary.
08:17Rabbi Tamaz Vero blew the ancient Jewish on the shofar, kicking off the procession at the Danube Monument in Budapest.
08:27The procession was led as usual by the Holocaust survivors.
08:31This year's commemoration was even more symbolic, as it was not only a march for the victims of the Holocaust,
08:37but also for those who are still at risk, including hostages and other victims of discrimination and hatred.
08:45According to the Federation of Jewish Communities in Hungary,
08:49the Hamas-led terrorist attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023 was proof that human nature does not change on its own.
08:59The group's president warned societies to remain vigilant and shield against hatred,
09:05otherwise they risk becoming its propagators.
09:19In the heart of Paris, this wall has become a powerful canvas.
09:25This is the idea of NGOs, Europeans Without Borders, cartooning for peace and Reporters Without Borders.
09:33Their goal, to combine street art and newspaper cartoons to send a message.
09:39Freedom of press matters more than ever.
09:42Together with a dozen young volunteers, many from underserved communities,
09:47the group turned a public wall in central Paris into a powerful symbol of resistance.
09:54It is important that the celebrities have this freedom, because it is censured in some countries.
09:59The idea is also to attract attention and spark real conversations.
10:24It's great to see this, and it's very in keeping with Paris, and what Paris represents.
10:31And in America right now, we could use some freedom of the press.
10:35Huimar Verdecien knows what censorship looks like as a Cuban cartoonist living in exile in France.
10:43But the cartoon of a newspaper shattering a wall is more than just a metaphor.
10:58It's a reminder of what accurate reporting can achieve.
11:02It's also a message that we can see that it's quite positive.
11:05We can see that it's a newspaper that breaks this wall.
11:09So we wanted to really vehiculate and launch a debate with a note of hope in the public space.
11:15The original artist, Gufo, was called in from Mexico to see his cartoon come to life in Paris
11:21and witness a moment of hope where art crossed borders and sparked real conversations.
