But first, some breaking news in Saudi Arabia. More than a dozen ambulances were seen rushing to Riyadh's international airports, and travellers were evacuated from parts of the facility after a loud blast was heard there. That's according to an eyewitness and people briefed on the matter. The incident comes after a series of hoody attacks on the Saudi capital this week

01:56 head of a rally demanding the resignation of India's top election official, Khyandra Kumar. Metro stations have been closed, mobile internet suspended and thousands of security personnel deployed across New Delhi. Reuters correspondent Aftab Ahmed is in New Delhi.
02:12 So New Delhi is right now completely fortified with something that I haven't seen in my last 20 years of living in Delhi. The mood is bleak. There is an airy sort of situation in Delhi where you can see columns of security forces walking with batons, with riot gears, and it is quite intimidating right now in Delhi. At the center of the disputes are allegations that millions of names were removed from India's voter rules, claims election officials deny. What the youth protesters have shown is that they have this tenacity to come back and keep protesting. Even as they are getting detained right now, they are pouring in in different parts of Delhi. And they are being put into buses and they are being removed from those places, but they are coming back in hundreds. So it seems like this tension between authorities and the civilian protesters will go on for some time.
03:11 The arrest of Abhiji Dipke, the founder of Cockroodz Jantha Party, could turn things more tense. US, Ukrainian and European negotiators spent six hours in talks on Miami on Friday, aiming to reach an agreement on a unified proposal to end the war in Ukraine. The talks come after President Trump announced a deal to bring Russian diesel back into global markets after temporarily lifting sanctions on Russian fuel. Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 metric tons. of diesel to US and global markets, as Trump says more will follow. Analysts said the agreement was unlikely to lead to sustained lower fuel prices, as the average
03:51 US diesel price six dollars 28 a gallon. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy criticized the move, saying it would benefit Moscow's war effort. Meanwhile, at least 12 people were killed by a Russian attack on the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizia. A video from an eyewitness captures the moment a powerful earthquake strikes Panama, with an electrical line exploding and people running for safety. A magnitude 7.7 earthquake damaged buildings and set thousands into the streets across Panama. Despite more than 40 aftershocks, there are no immediate reports of deaths or serious injuries. And key infrastructure, including the Panama Canal and the country's main airport, remains operational.
04:40 Officials are now assessing the damage. As residents describe strong, prolonged shaking that sent people running into the streets. Meanwhile, in the US, Hurricane Isias has rapidly lost wind speed, weakening into category one storm after making landfall in Florida. But the threat remains, with warnings of danger from storm surges and flash flooding. More than half a million homes in businesses across Florida and Alabama are without power. President Donald Trump says he absolutely approved the execution of Nadal Hassan,
05:16 The former army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas. Speaking to reporters, Trump said he had signed off on execution, but had not yet decided where the footage of it should be shown via live stream. I really don't care how he goes as long as he goes, and I think that the death penalty is a very worthy way of going for him. The proposal to live stream the execution has drawn criticism from human rights groups. Public executions constitute a form of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. That should be a man to, a spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
05:54 The live streaming of an execution is tantamount to a public execution and would breach the absolute prohibition of torture. Our Pentechon reporter, Phil Stewart, says the military's decision to broadcast the execution on December 3rd would be unprecedented in many ways. What was really shocking and what really surprised a lot of people was the Pentagon would decide to do this execution publicly for a whole host of reasons. A lot of former national security officials are making the point that, you know, doing this could help inspire a whole new group of extremists who will see this and think that it is something that needs to be fought against. America's enemies will use this for their propaganda. And some people just say that it's, you know, morally beneath the United States to publicize this kind of violence,
06:39 that executions are something that the U.S. should do maybe, but that they shouldn't be done publicly. They should be done with a sobriety that the act of killing someone deserves. And, you know, of course, there's those like the National Bishops Conference who are opposed to the death penalty and think the whole thing should be called off altogether. So there's a whole range of opinions. Pete Hedgeseth, the defense secretary, believes that this public display of the shooting will be a deterrent to other would-be attackers. I've never heard of the person. I know a lot of people I've never heard of this particular person, but congratulations anyway.
07:24 President Trump is criticizing the Nobel Committee, after it awarded this year's Peace Prize to former UN Judge Navi Palais for what it called her efforts to promote peace and international law. Speaking at a rally in New York, Trump said he deserved the award instead, citing what he says his role in resolving multiple international conflicts. Trump has long argued he should receive a Nobel Peace Prize. On Friday, he called the decision a disgrace and said it left what he described as an indelible stain on Norway,
07:55 which hosts the Nobel Committee. Turning to the Middle East, our next story looks at the lasting human impact of the war in Gaza. Two-and-a-half-year-old Bissan, her eyes wide behind her pink-framed glasses, is transfixed, as her mother helps her feed a monkey at a little zoo in Gaza. In October 2023, an Israeli strike hit her family home,
08:19 killing a sister she never got some meat, and forcing her injured mother Sundus to deliver her six weeks early. She was then one of 29 premature babies evacuated out of Gaza in an incubator, as Israeli forces closed in. She spent the first years of her life without her mother, in a hospital and then in a case. care home in Egypt. In March this year, a UN-assisted mission brought Bissan back to Gaza and back to her mom.
08:48 But after two years apart, Bissan didn't recognize her. Anne Sunda says she initially called every kind woman Mama. Since then, she's been reclaiming her title one moment at a time. But says her daughter's new life in Gaza is a far cry for what she knew in Egypt. There she's been attending a nursery and now she's sleeping in a tent. And she says now the hardest thing is watching her freeze in silence every time she hears an explosion. Sundas says her only consolation is that Bissan knows who she is now and who to reach for.
