00:00Ukrainian authorities say Russian attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with ballistic missiles and drones have killed at least
00:07six people and wounded dozens more.
00:10At least six people were killed and dozens injured in the latest Russian strikes on Ukraine, local authorities said on
00:17Sunday.
00:18According to Ukraine's Air Force, Russia launched 41 missiles and 125 attack drones, with most of them directed towards Kyiv
00:28and the surrounding region.
00:30Emergency services say fires were caused in five regions of the city, with damage to residential buildings, office and industrial
00:38sites.
00:39Four bodies were pulled from a burning home in the Chivatosynsky district while crews rushed to save residents from a
00:46three-story building on fire.
00:49Russia's defense ministry claimed the attack on Kyiv targeted six sites linked to the Ukrainian military,
00:55but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said most of the missiles and drones had been directed at several civilian sites.
01:03The overnight bombardment came a day after a large-scale drone strike by Ukraine hit a number of warehouses and
01:10an oil facility inside Russia, reportedly killing at least eight people.
01:21Two major wildfires are continuing to burn in central and northeastern Spain.
01:27The blaze near La Miela, around 100 kilometers from Madrid, has scorched nearly 13,000 hectares and forced the evacuation
01:36of 16 villages.
01:38Firefighters are working to contain the southern edge of the fire and protect nearby communities.
01:44Regional authorities say strong winds have driven extreme fire behavior, with flames advancing at more than 60 meters per minute.
01:54Spain's civil guards say they are investigating whether the blaze began during agricultural work involving a combined harvester.
02:02Meanwhile, another wildfire near Ores in Zaragoza province has burned more than 15,400 hectares.
02:11Around 450 emergency personnel are involved, although officials say conditions improved overnight.
02:18Across Spain, some 70,000 hectares have burned so far this year.
02:25Authorities say they have recorded 18 major wildfires, almost three times the area affected during the same period last year.
02:36Mount Olympus' bid for inclusion on UNESCO's World Heritage List as a mixed natural and cultural site has entered its
02:45final stages.
02:46However, international evaluators are requesting additional information from Greece before a final decision is reached.
02:53According to the recommendations, further documentation is needed to support both the uniqueness of the natural environment and the cultural
03:01significance of the region.
03:03It is a place that we have been growing, it is a place that we see every day, but in
03:09addition, it is also a place that carries lies, lies, history, diversity, diversity, beautiful beauty and a very big political
03:20power.
03:21At the same time, there are calls for stronger documentation of its cultural value.
03:27For local authorities, a possible UNESCO designation would represent international recognition for a site where mythology, history and nature come
03:36together.
03:39Since the UNESCO is positive and the UNESCO is positive, it is clear that it comes to something very big
03:47that is not only the tropical areas but the ethnic areas.
03:50It is something that applies to the whole world.
03:52It is very important.
03:54It will make sure that it will be more effective.
03:57However, I will note that it will make some more limitations from our own area to protect this environment.
04:04Beyond its unique natural landscape,
04:07Cape Mount Olympus has been a symbol of Greek culture and mythology for centuries.
04:11Its inclusion on UNESCO's World Heritage List would mark important international recognition while also strengthen efforts to protect and preserve
04:20its natural and cultural heritage for future generations.
04:23The nomination will be examined during this year's session of UNESCO World Heritage Committee taking place in Seoul from July
04:3119-29.
