00:01The European Commission has launched a formal investigation into Chinese fast fashion online giant Xi.
00:10Giselle Pellico's memoir, A Hymn to Life, Shame Has to Change Sides, is now available in 22 languages across the
00:18world.
00:20Greenlanders are suffering the consequences of climate change, with melting ice destroying routes and natural ice bridges essential for sledding.
00:31The European Commission has launched a formal investigation into Chinese fast fashion online giant Xi.
00:38The Commission said the probe centers around three concerns, the first being the sale of illegal products on Xi's platform,
00:46including child sexual abuse materials like childlike sex dolls.
00:51Second, the use of addictive design techniques to keep users engaged.
00:56And last, the lack of transparency around how the platform recommends products to consumers.
01:02The Commission will now carry out an in-depth investigation, which may include further requests for information, interviews and monitoring
01:11measures.
01:12If breaches are confirmed, Brussels can impose interim measures, accept binding commitments from the company, or adopt a non-compliance
01:20decision that could lead to fines.
01:22In a statement to Euronews, Xi said it takes its obligations under the DSA seriously, and says it has always
01:30cooperated with the European Commission.
01:36Giselle Pellico's memoir, A Hymn to Life, Shame Has to Change Sides, is now available in 22 languages across the
01:43world.
01:44The book recounts for the first time her version of surviving being the unconscious victim of rape by her husband
01:50and dozens of other men.
01:51From her meeting with Dominique Pellico to her life after the trials, the 73-year-old reveals her story, co
01:58-written by French journalist and author Judith Pérignon.
02:01Giselle Pellico became the face of the French Mazin Village rape trial last year when she waived her right to
02:07anonymity.
02:08She said she chose to do so, so that, quote, all women who have been raped should no longer feel
02:13ashamed.
02:14In December 2025, Dominique Pellico was sentenced to 20 years in prison, the maximum penalty.
02:21His co-defendants received sentences ranging from three years' imprisonment, two of which were suspended, to 15 years.
02:28In the end, 51 men were found guilty of rape and sexual assault.
02:35For more than a thousand years, dogs have pulled sleds across the Arctic for Inuit, seal hunters and fishermen, but
02:43now they are being pulled over earth and rock.
02:47Greenlandic dog sled champion Georgian Kristensen, from the town of Ilulisat, around 300 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle,
02:57said it's the first time he can remember when there has been no snow or ice in the bay in
03:03January.

03:34In the 1980s, winter temperatures in Ilulisat regularly hovered around
03:41minus 25 degrees Celsius, but nowadays sometimes it can be as warm as 10 degrees,
03:47Kristensen said. The Inuit Circumpolar Council said Greenland's government had to financially
03:53support many families after sea ice failed to freeze sufficiently for hunting. The melting
04:00ice could reveal untapped deposits of critical minerals, which is why many Greenlanders believe
04:07that's why U.S. President Donald Trump turned their island into a geopolitical hotspot.
04:17Nicosia has been named the best cultural destination in Europe for 2026 by European Best Destinations.
04:26This recognition comes at a significant moment for Cyprus, which although geographically
04:30located at the south-eastern-most edge of Europe, currently holds the presidency of the European
04:34Council.
04:37It came through an antagonistic process of visitors from 131 countries. 22,000 visitors
04:44probably analyzed the cities in Europe in relation to how they were analyzed as a political
04:52process.
04:53One of the key factors in the evaluation was Nicosia's vibrant artistic scene. The city
04:57hosts high-quality events and cultural productions that honor tradition while embracing contemporary
05:02art forms. A must-visit for anyone interested in discovering the city's unique history is the
05:07Lemvendis Municipal Museum of Nicosia. Open to the public in 1989, the museum was awarded the
05:13European Museum of the Year Award just two years later.
05:16The museum's permanent exhibition traces the history and development of the region primarily
05:38through everyday objects. It is housed in a complex of three traditional neoclassical stone buildings
05:43located in the museum's permanent exhibition. The museum's permanent exhibition traces the history
05:43within the old world city of Nicosia, closed to Eλευθερία Square.
06:13It was divided into the wealth and authenticity of the political economy,
06:18the powerful and powerful technology of the production,
06:21the full of political donations that it provides,
06:25as well as the diverse experience that it offers to the scientists,
06:29scientists who are now familiar with all the times of the year.
06:33From the Kypring Prime Minister, for the EuroNews, Yannis Giacchini.
06:43The presidential candidate, Reverend Jesse Jackson, has died aged 84.
06:48The news was confirmed by his family, who said that he died peacefully surrounded by loved ones.
06:55Born in 1941 in Greenville, South Carolina,
06:59Jackson rose to prominence in the 1960s as a leader
07:03in Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
07:07Jackson launched two social justice and activism organizations,
07:12Operation Push in 1971 and the National Rainbow Coalition years later.
07:18He ran twice for the U.S. Democratic Party's nomination for president in 1984 and 1988.
07:26He advocated in the U.S. and abroad for the poor and underrepresented on issues from voting rights
07:33and job opportunities to education and health care.
07:53I can follow you like a dog to the end of the world.
08:11It's the greatest thing about being a producer is you get to watch a film be made from, you know,
08:16the very first moment until the release and beyond.
08:19And being privy to Emerald's process in every step of the way is so amazing
08:24because she's a genius and a brilliant mind that I love to work with.
08:29I love to watch her work.
08:30Yeah, I feel very lucky.
08:31It's genuinely been the greatest experience of my lifetime.
08:35And actors say that a lot, but I don't know.
08:38I can't believe it.
08:53Working with both Emerald and Margot was just a dream
08:56because they were so, like, open to how I wanted to work.
09:00And really let me kind of just go ahead and follow my instincts.
09:05And I think it's such a rewarding process to work with people like that,
09:09especially to women who just are, we were all so on the same page.
09:27Do you want me to stop?
09:38At Warsaw Slotna Gallery, any fatigue you might feel fades away.
09:42As you enter, you are greeted by a soothing scent, suggesting that show will stimulate your senses.
09:53The smell is the smell of beautiful work that are very intimate, soft, full of half-toned.
10:05and, according to me, they are perfectly composed of the smell that I created in this exhibition.
10:11The 44 paintings that make up the Pasitea exhibition are a tribute to taking it easy and letting things flow.
10:19Pasitea is the Greek goddess of relaxation, rest and hallucinations, the youngest of Venus's companions,
10:25wife of Hypnos, the god of sleep. She's a figure who embodies the idea that the artist tries to convey
10:31in her works.
10:32They are very oniryczne, sensible.
10:35Agnieszka also has a contour in her works.
10:38This is very characteristic for her.
10:40We are in a little bit of a misunderstanding of these situations.
10:46We are in the exhibition of Pasitea.
10:48We would like to invite it to the beginning, but also to the beginning of a pause, a mask that
10:56we wear today.
10:58Agnieszka Apoznańska likes to work with lots of paintings at once.
11:02In the end, she says, it's like putting together a puzzle.
11:05With each other work, I found this breath in a different symbol, or in a different intensity of color, in
11:15a fragment of the body.
11:16Every work explained to me how it will look for the next one.
11:20The exhibition also figures the motif of a curtain through which one can see the blurred world that the artist
11:26depicts in her work.
11:28Agnieszka Apoznańska's painting exhibition Pasitea is on until 6 March at the Lotna Gallery in Warsaw.
11:36Afters, the original画 star is on until 6 March at the Much las.
11:38Agnieszka Apoznaćán 그림 put into 8 March.
