02:16a 45-year-old ethnic ungarian from the Ukrainian Transcapaccia region was beaten to death,

04:38Shaz, who has long served as a kingmaker in Israeli politics,

04:42said it would be leaving over disagreements surrounding a proposed law

04:45that would mandate military service for all.

04:48Ultra-Orthodox men were granted exemptions from compulsory service

04:51via a decades-old arrangement by Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion.

04:56It's the second ultra-Orthodox party to quit government this week

04:59after United Torah Judaism announced it was leaving on Tuesday.

05:04Shaz ministers are expected to resign from their positions on Thursday morning.

06:36Israeli Foreign Minister Gidon Saar has accused the Syrian government of hostile actions against minorities,

06:42particularly the Druze, many of whom remain wary of the new authorities in Damascus.

06:47The interests of our country in Syria are known,

06:52unspeakable and clear.

06:56First of all, to look at the status quo in the southern Syria region,

07:05which is also close to our region,

07:08and to prevent the threat of threats against Israel in this region.

07:13The other thing is to prevent the threat of the Druze,

07:21which we have here with the Druze citizens here in Israel,

07:28and to prevent the threat of the Druze community here in Israel.

07:38This is the amount proposed by the European Commission

07:41for the EU's next budget period from 2028 to 2034.

07:45This envelope, known in European jargon as the multi-annual financial framework,

07:50represents a significant increase on the previous financial year.

07:54The Commission chief is proposing to merge the various European programs

07:57into three main pillars.

07:58This is a budget for the realities of today, as well as the challenges of tomorrow.

08:04A budget that equips us to act on our political choices in a very fast-moving world.

08:11The first accounts for 48 percent of the total budget.

08:15It covers agricultural policy, cohesion, fisheries and social policy.

08:20But this regrouping of historic European programs into a single envelope

08:24is causing concern among the member states and the farming community.

08:27The second concerns the Union's competitiveness.

08:31Allocated 410 billion euros, or 23 percent of the proposed budget,

08:36this envelope is intended to finance innovation, industry and clean technologies.

08:41These are all elements that must ensure European sovereignty.

08:45This envelope also includes budgets for defense and space sectors,

08:48where funding has been increased five-fold.

08:50The third pillar, roughly 11 percent of the proposed budget concerns Europe's place in the world,

08:56like strategic partnerships, humanitarian aid and the enlargement of the Union.

09:01The Commission is also proposing a reserve of 100 billion euros for Ukraine.

09:06A peine presenté, this budget budget is already created a critique.

09:11The reporters at the European Parliament are talking about a lack of ambition

09:13and are saying that the budget budget is not holding the route.

09:16These deputies say that this budget is a threat to the historical program,

09:20such as the economic policy, as the economic policy.

09:21Finally, they fear that this structure favor 27 national programs

09:26to depend on a community vision.
