Speaker 1 (00:01):
Good morning. This is send seven World News in seven minutes.
I'm Stephen Devin Chenzi. Today is Friday, the seventh of
November twenty twenty five. Starting in the Americas today, Mexican
(00:23):
President Claudia Sinbaum has filed an official complaint against a
man who groped her and tried to kiss her. Earlier
this week, Scheinbaum was talking to people in the street
near Mexico's National Palace when a man who appears to
be drunk came behind her, touched parts of her body
(00:46):
and tried to kiss her before being confronted by Sinbaum's
security team. Yesterday, Sheinbaum said, if this can happen to
the president, what can happen to other women? In Brazil.
COP thirty will take place over the next two weeks,
with many world leaders arriving yesterday. The thirtieth United Nations
(01:10):
Climate Change Conference will take place in Bellm, which is
a city of over a million people on Brazil's north coast.
Various leaders gave speeches yesterday, including Finland's President Alexander stub
who said that the world needs to put science in
the driver's seat and said that climate scientists agree on
(01:32):
what to do, we.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Have the best scientists at our disposal, and they are
unanimous that delaying climate action would have consequences that are
devastating for all and irreversible for some. There are no excuses.
At the same time, we need to recognize the growing
amount of disinformation around climate science as an attempt to
(01:57):
rattle the multilateral system, and Sloan slowed down a clear,
clean transition.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Bolivia's former interim president Jannine Anes, has been released from
prison after nearly five years after the Supreme Court overturned
a conviction of using a kudittat to seize power. In
the United States, a teacher who was shot by her
six year old student has been awarded ten million dollars
(02:29):
in court. In twenty twenty three, Abigail's Verna was shot
by the six year old boy who had taken the
gun from his home and carried it to school in
his backpack before taking it out and shooting one single bullet,
which hit as Werner in her hand and chest. Lawyers
(02:49):
force Verna say that the vice principal ignored three other
students telling her that the boy had a gun. In France,
the Chinese fast fashion company Shine has opened its first
ever permanent physical shop. There have been protests outside the
(03:12):
shop in Paris against the general fast fashion business model
of Shane, and also because of a recent case in
which the Shane website was found to be selling sex dolls,
which protesters say resembled children, and also some banned weapons.
France's finance ministry has warned that it could suspend Shane
(03:35):
completely in France if illegal products continue to be found
on its website. In the United Kingdom, two prisoners have
been accidentally released, just two weeks after the Ethiopian prisoner
Hadush Kibatu was also accidentally released, despite being well known
(03:56):
for sparking protests earlier this year. Kibat To crossed from
France to England on a small boat in June, and
just eight days later he was arrested and accused of
three sexual assaults, including against a fourteen year old girl.
Kibatu was sentenced to prison and deportation. However, he was
(04:17):
accidentally released two weeks ago before being caught again and
deported a few days later. In Ukraine, Russian forces are
continuing to encircle the small city of Perkrofsk in the
eastern Dunnetsk region with intense fighting around and within the city.
(04:38):
Ukrainian soldiers have continued to report Russian soldiers dressing as civilians,
which is a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions.
There are many reports of hundreds of Russian soldiers being
killed every day in order to move forwards into Pukrofsk,
which is largely destroyed and Russia has been trying to
(04:59):
conquer for f fifteen months. If Russia captures Pokrovsk, it
would be the biggest city that Russia has captured for
two and a half years since capturing Bachmut, which is
also mostly destroyed. In Germany, a Romanian man has been
arrested and accused of painting swastikas on cars and buildings
(05:21):
with his own blood. The swastika symbol is illegal in Germany.
In the Philippines, authorities have said that the death toll
from typhoon Kalmegi has risen to at least one hundred
and fourteen and many more are still missing. Most of
the deaths were in the central region of Sebu. Yesterday,
(05:43):
Kalmegi reached Vietnam, where two hundred and sixty thousand soldiers
have been prepared to help rescue efforts. And six airports
have been closed. In South Korea, part of a power
plant collapsed yesterday, injuring workers and leaving five workers still trapped,
according to the fire Department. In Malaysia, the rapper Namawe
(06:09):
has been arrested over the alleged murder of the Taiwanese
influencer si Hu Shin, who died in a hotel room
in Kuala Lumpur two weeks ago. Africa. In Sudan, the
Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group has said that it had
(06:29):
agreed to a three month ceasefire proposed by Egypt, Saudi Arabia,
the United Arab Emirates and the United States. Sudan has
been in a civil war since April twenty twenty three,
when the RSF started to fight the Sudanese Army. Today,
the RSF controls most of south west Sudan and the
(06:51):
Sudanese Army control most of north and East Sudan. And
Egypt has been welcoming the first guests of the new
Grand Egyptian Museum, which opened this week. The museum has
been in planning for over thirty years and construction started
in two thousand and five. The museum holds over one
(07:13):
hundred thousand artifacts from the first human settlements of Egypt
over five thousand years ago until Roman Egypt, which ended
in the seventh century. One of the major attractions is
a recreation of the tomb of King Tutenkamun, which displays
over five thousand items that are together for the first
(07:34):
time since their discovery in nineteen twenty two. Listeners, tomorrow,
we will release the second part of my interview with
the self described former Russian propagandist Andrew Rivkin. If you
didn't listen to part one, you should definitely go back
in this feed and find the episode that was released
(07:54):
last Saturday. A big thank you to Jian Luigi in
Italy and Veronica in Spain for becoming our newest supporters.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
