00:02The European Commission reiterated Tuesday that all persons illegally remaining in Ceuta
00:08would be returned following the massive influx of migrants that took place in 8 July.
00:13The priority is now for the Spanish and for the Moroccan authorities to maintain control
00:17of the situation and to ensure the swift return of all those who illegally remain in Ceuta.
00:24We have notably seen good results of this cooperation over the weekend when new legal
00:29attempts to cross the border were effectively prevented and when the integrity of the borders
00:34were preserved.
00:36Last week, Spain's Interior Minister had estimated there were approximately 5,000 illegal migrants
00:43remaining in Ceuta, including about 1,900 miners.
00:47Spanish authorities have pledged to return all those who are illegally staying in the enclave
00:52to their country of origin, stressing no one would be transferred to mainland Spain.
00:56Earlier this month, Moroccan authorities had said they were ready to cooperate with Madrid
01:02and other EU partners to facilitate the return of unaccompanied minors.
01:07Now on the return, yes, I mean the return, this is regulated when it comes to EU law under
01:14the return directive.
01:15Soon this will be the EU return regulation.
01:18And there are indeed provisions for the return of illegally staying migrants, including for
01:24unaccompanied minors, so this is also covered by EU law.
01:26According to Spanish estimates, around 72,000 persons crossed into Ceuta on the 30th of July
01:33and almost all of them have already been returned to Morocco.
01:41Germany has opened a new drone security research centre in Saxony and Halt as the country steps
01:48up efforts to protect airports and critical infrastructure from hostile and unauthorised
01:54aircraft.
01:55During its inauguration, Germany's interior minister Alexander Dobrindt said his country was the
02:02daily target of hybrid attacks and explained why, in his opinion, Germany was being targeted.
02:10He is a central stone in Europe when it comes to economic stability, when it comes to political
02:20stability, when it comes to social stability, when it comes to economic stability in Europe.
02:30Dobrindt also described the threat posed by drones as part of the shadow war of the 21st century.
02:37The facility will research and test technology designed to detect and counter unauthorised
02:44drones around airports, major events and critical infrastructure.
02:48Germany has recently been subjected to multiple incidents, including an explosives-laden drone
02:56at Leipzig Airport.
02:58While shortly afterwards, operations at Hanover Airport were disrupted after a drone entered
03:04restricted airspace.
03:11More than 2,000 firefighters remain deployed to tackle Portugal's wildfires that have broken
03:18out in recent days.
03:20On Tuesday afternoon, three fires considered significant were still burning.
03:25More than 400 firefighters remain mobilised on a fire in north-east Portugal, in Tóquiz de
03:32Moncorvo, in the district of Bragança, which began on Saturday.
03:37Since then, more than 2,000 hectares in the municipality have already been ravaged by the
03:43flames.
03:44Also causing concern for the authorities are two forest fires in Arruca and Santa Tirso.
03:51More than two dozen aircraft have also been involved in the fighting of the fires throughout the country.
03:57On Tuesday, the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere had placed nine districts
04:03in mainland Portugal under an orange alert due to hot and dry weather.
04:12US President Donald Trump paused the planned rollout of punishing tariffs on Canadian goods for
04:18a three-day period, announcing that both parties were finalizing a deal.
04:22The announcement on True Social came just hours ahead of his midnight Wednesday deadline,
04:27when the 50 percent tariffs on some $20 billion worth of Canadian imports were initially slated
04:33to kick into force.
04:35Trump's import taxes would have hit Canadian products ranging from hockey sticks to wine.
04:40Ottawa and Washington have held intense negotiations on revising their existing deal, the United
04:46States-Canada-Mexico Agreement, which Trump signed and praised during his first term, but
04:51now says needs to change.
04:53The US Trade Representative's office leading the negotiations said that the pact between Washington
04:58and Ottawa is set to include comprehensive market access for all American goods, economic
05:04security commitments, digital trade alignment, as well as other provisions.
05:09Trump imposed the 50 percent duties last month, alleging discriminatory treatment by Canada
05:15against US alcohol, automobile and dairy products.
05:19Canada responded with threatened levies of its own, aggravating already tense relations between
05:24the two allies, who sold around $880 billion worth of goods and services to each other last
05:30year.
05:31Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney, commenting on the suspension, did not announce that a
05:37new deal was reached, instead noting that substantial progress was made, but that important
05:41work was still to be done.
05:43He also added that the new arrangement is looking to address outstanding trade issues and deliver
05:49greater certainty and real benefits for Canadian businesses and workers.
06:00Qatar has again rejected Iran's claim that it is secretly holding three Iranian pilots whose
06:06aircraft were shot down in March.
06:08Speaking here in Doha, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Dr. Majid Al Ansari called the accusations both
06:13false and illogical, saying the pilots entered Qatari airspace on a military mission.
06:19Iran says the three pilots were captured alive after the aircraft were down during an operation
06:24targeting the US Aloudaid airbase.
06:27Qatar says the aircraft had violated its airspace and were targeting Doha.
06:49Dr. Al Ansari says Qatari forces tried to contact the pilots but got no response.
06:54Search teams later recovered the remains of one pilot which an Iranian delegation came to Doha to
07:00collect.
07:01Qatar also invited an Iranian technical team to review the search operation but says Tehran
07:06has yet to respond.
07:07The briefing also turned to efforts to end the wider conflict.
07:11Dr. Al Ansari says US-Iran talks are still far from resuming, with Qatar waiting for Iran
07:17and Oman to reach an agreement over the Strait of Hormuz.
07:20The trajectory of events we would like to see in Qatar is an agreement on the opening of
07:25the Strait of Hormuz which would coincide with the resumption of the ceasefire and the resumption
07:30of the talks.
07:31Are these parallel lines, you know, converging or diverging?
07:38It's not very systematic on our end but what I would say is that the agreement over the
07:46Strait of Hormuz would make it much easier for us to resume the talks between the United
07:50States and Iran.
07:52For now, Qatar says the focus remains on de-escalation, reopening the Strait and ultimately getting
07:58both sides back to the negotiating table.

08:47you are aware it's happening but not afraid so and they try to do all the precautions what they
08:54could do but still then it's nature it's nature and you never know and they say as long as the
09:00glacier or the glacier that let's say that the material is moving it takes actually the pressure
09:06off of the whole thing so it doesn't come down in one big piece so it's better it releases all
09:13the
09:13time a little bit of the material
09:25in platten war ein bergsturz da kam der ganze fels runter auf den gletscher und hat das alles
09:33ausgedrückt und dann war das eis und der schutt oben auf dem gletscher der alles in grossen dimensionen
09:41runter kam hier beim spitzenstein ist loses gestein das ist im moment noch verbunden mit dem eis aber
09:52die klima erwärmung bringt natürlich mit sich dass sich das immer ein bisschen löst oder und wir
09:59hatten schon vor hundert jahren hatten wir steinschlag in diesem gebiet
10:14if climate change is going on there will be more of that type of incidents happening all over and
10:23uh maybe one day we even have to um abandon certain valleys certain villages because it's still it's
10:30becoming impossible to live there or the measures you would need to take to still protect the
10:36infrastructure is uh is so expensive it the efforts are so big that it's not worthwhile anymore to live
10:53there
10:53warmer air masses can transport more humidity so we need to anticipate that thunderstorms can become
11:00more intense more extreme in a warmer climate in addition to warm temperatures they do not only melt
11:06glaciers they also help to thaw permafrost and as we know in the mountains and in the unconsolidated
11:13debris there is lots of ice and once that this ice is melting it acts like a cement
