Speaker 1 (00:01):
Good morning. This is send seven world news in seven minutes.
I'm Stephen Devinchenzi. Today is Thursday, the twenty seventh of
March twenty twenty five. Starting in Europe today in Belgium,
(00:22):
the European Union has issued new advice to all citizens
of the EU, telling them to have enough food and
other essential items to last for seventy two hours. The
European Commission has said that the first preparedness strategy is
(00:42):
to increase preparedness for floods, fires, pandemics, cyber attacks, military
attacks and other threats. EU citizens are being told to
have a stockpile of food, medicine, cash, and other items
that they may need. In Turkia, protests are continuing in
(01:05):
Istanbul against the detention of Mayor of Istanbul Ekrum Imamoglu.
Imamoglu is considered the main challenger against reciptaeab Urdagan in
the next presidential election. Protesters, opposition groups, human rights groups,
and the Council of Europe have said that the arrest
(01:27):
of Imamoglu is politically motivated. The Turkish government has restricted
access to social media, and a report by the Guardian
newspaper has noted how Turkish state media is not talking
about the protests, despite the fact that hundreds of thousands
of people have joined the protests. In Lithuania, four United
(01:52):
States soldiers have been killed during training exercises, according to
NATO Secretary General Mark Uta. The U S Army has
said that the bodies of four soldiers were found in
a vehicle underwater Americas. In the United States, Democrat politicians
(02:14):
are calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth,
who shared classified information about upcoming attacks on Yemen's WHO
the group in a group chat which included a journalist
on the messaging app Signal. Jeffrey Goldberg, who is editor
in chief of the magazine The Atlantic, was added to
(02:37):
the group, which included Hegseth, Vice President J. D Vance,
CIA Director John Ratcliffe, National Intelligence Director Tulsy Gabbard, and
other senior officials, in which they were speaking about upcoming
strikes on the WHO. These a few hours before the
attacks took place. Goldberg wrote an article about this and
(02:59):
public much of the conversation. However, he made the decision
not to share some classified information. Many officials, including Hexth,
said that no classified information was being shared on a
group chat, and so yesterday, Goldberg published the whole conversation.
At a Senate hearing yesterday, Democrat Senator Michael Bennett said
(03:23):
that the situation was an embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
This sloppiness, this incompetence, this disrespect for our intelligence agencies
and the personnel who worked for him is entirely unacceptable.
It's an embarrassment, Senator. You need to do better. You
need to do better.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Brazil's former president a Jayid Bolsonaro must face a trial
over allegations that he was involved in an attempted coupdetat
in twenty twenty two. The Supreme Court has decided that
Bolsanaro and seven others will go to court for various
crimes involved in the alleged coup attempt, and if convicted,
(04:10):
Bolsonaro could spend the rest of his life in prison. Asia.
In South Korea, at least twenty four people have been
killed in wildfires. Tens of thousands of people have been
evacuated as fires spread in the southern regions of South Korea.
(04:31):
In Palestine, the Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas,
said that thirty nine people were killed in Israeli airstrikes yesterday.
In Israel's parliament yesterday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that
Israel would consider seizing Palestinian territory if Hamas did not
(04:51):
release the remaining hostages. Africa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
police killed two people attending a funeral of a popular singer.
According to witnesses and reported by Reuter's news agency, thousands
of people joined a funeral procession in the city of
(05:13):
Benny and chanted against both the Conglese government and the
M twenty three rebel group, who they blame for killing
the singer delcat Indengo when they took over the city
of Goma two months ago. In Malawi, people living close
to a protected area are suing a non governmental organization
(05:36):
that moved two hundred and fifty elephants to the area,
alleging that the elephants have killed ten people in the
last three years. The elephants were moved to the area
in July twenty twenty two by the International Fund for
Animal Welfare, which is being sued by local people who
say that they have been affected in different ways by
(05:59):
the increase in elephant numbers. There and in the United States,
police have recovered two pairs of earrings worth seven hundred
and seventy thousand dollars after a thief ate them. Jathan
Gilder swallowed the two sets of earrings after pretending to
(06:20):
be interested in buying them in a jewelry shop in Florida.
Police then caught Gilder and collected evidence by taking him
to a hospital, where an X ray showed that he
had swallowed the earrings. The earrings were recovered and the
BBC has reported that the jewelry shop has cleaned the earrings.
(06:42):
