"We are checking this. They sent us a draft -- we did not agree to it, it is not our draft. We sent our comments," he said.

- Switzerland is putting the future of public transport to the test with a simple question: would you swap your regular bus ride for a driverless vehicle?
A new pilot project is exploring whether autonomous electric shuttles could become the next step in public transport by improving mobility in underserved areas and reducing reliance on private cars.
After receiving federal approval, the fleet is expected to begin carrying passengers in 2027, with plans to expand from five to 25 vehicles if testing continues to prove successful.

- Soaring summer temperatures in Gaza have turned makeshift plastic and nylon tents sheltering hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians into suffocating ovens, forcing families outside for relief.
The extreme heat compounds a severe humanitarian crisis where overcrowded camps lack clean water, electricity, and sanitation.
Aid agencies like the Norwegian Refugee Council warn of heightened risks of dehydration, heat illnesses, and spreading infections.
With infrastructure ruined by two years of war, families must remain in tents through the scorching summer, though residents report little sense of safety from near-daily Israeli strikes even after a ceasefire

- A male baby elephant at Vienna Zoo, turning one on August 20, is learning to beat the heat by following an older female "aunt" into their bathing pool.
Weighing 400 kilograms, he is also learning trunk usage by imitating adult animals. Bathing, showering, and taking mud or sand baths help the elephants stay cool and protect their skin from insects.
"Our young bull elephant is always right there in the thick of it. He usually follows right after his favourite aunt, already checking to see how deep he can go into the bathing pool," said zoo keeper Jenny Bukowski. "Once bath time is over, it’s usually time for the mud, followed by the sand—making for the perfect skincare routine" says Jenny Bukowski, zoo keeper at Vienna zoo.

- Hungary's Prime Minister Peter Magyar said on Tuesday (August 4) there was "light at the end of the tunnel" in Central Europe's drought, as experts expect significant rainfall in the Austrian catchment area of the Danube River on Thursday, which could raise river levels later this week.
Speaking on a visit to the Paks nuclear plant, Magyar said there were "critical days" ahead, but that Hungary's energy supply is currently stable.
The Paks plant is currently operating around 10% of its capacity because of the low water levels in the Danube, which the plant uses as coolant.

Speaking at the White House on August 3, Trump stated he agreed to pursue the talks at the request of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and other countries, focusing on denuclearization and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The US and Iran have been at war since February 28 following surprise strikes by the US and Israel. More than five months later, despite intermittent calm from on-and-off diplomacy, Iran maintains its enriched uranium stockpiles and the ability to strike US and allied targets with missiles and drones.

- One of the first things that surprised CGTN's Li Jianhua after moving to Britain was discovering that London’s iconic black cabs are made by a subsidiary of China’s Geely.
It’s not alone. Jaguar Land Rover belongs to India’s Tata, Mini is owned by Germany’s BMW, and many of Britain’s airports, utilities and landmark buildings have foreign owners.
For decades, Britain embraced global investment. But the battle over British Steel suggests attitudes are changing. As concerns grow around national security and economic resilience, the question is no longer just who invests in Britain — but which industries are too strategic to be foreign-owned.
In this latest episode of his series Observing Europe, Jianhua explores ownership, investment – and where Britain is drawing the line.

- Extreme heat in Europe has shrivelled the river Danube in Croatia facing historically low water levels, revealing a shipwreck and leaving many boats stranded on docks along the river.
In the city of Osijek, specialists pulled an explosive shell out of the water to further examine it.
Head of the department for hydrological studies, analyses and forecasts, Tatjana Vujnovic, has said that rivers in Croatia were reaching new minimum levels and endangering the country's supply of drinking water.
Europe is experiencing the fastest warming of any continent and record-breaking heatwaves this summer.

- Description
- Hungary is facing a “critical five days” as drought and extreme heat force the Paks nuclear power plant to reduce operations, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said.
The plant, which supplies around half of Hungary’s electricity, has cut output after falling Danube River levels affected its cooling system.
Magyar said engineers had the situation under control but warned the plant could be fully shut down later this week if water levels continue to drop.
With temperatures forecast to exceed 42C, authorities are urging businesses and households to reduce electricity use during peak hours.

- Residents of Ceuta have described fear, anxiety and uncertainty after around 60,000 people crossed into the Spanish enclave from Morocco in recent days.
Many said they felt overwhelmed and abandoned as neighbourhoods filled with migrants and authorities struggled to respond.
“We felt alone and abandoned by the rest of Spain,” said student Estela Jimenez.
Others spoke of sleepless nights, while some expressed sympathy for migrants caught up in the crisis.
“I’ve shed tears for these poor kids who came here thinking they’d have a home,” Jimenez said.
CGTN’s Ken Browne reports from Ceuta.

In the small Italian spa town of Acqui Terme, a lifelike AI avatar named Eva Statiella has taken up an official council role, advising on policy, digital transition and "humanization".
Billed as Europe's first AI councilor, the mayor insists she's here to support, not replace, her human colleagues – but residents have been left divided in how the technology could affect daily life.

- Migrants stranded in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta say they are running out of food after the recent mass crossings from Morocco.
At Benitez Beach, migrants were seen gathering around food deliveries, with some saying they had not eaten for days.
“Three days no food, only water,” said Ashraf Isam, a migrant from Sudan.

Local NGOs are urging Spanish authorities to allow them to stay, arguing many cannot safely return.

Five people are confirmed to have died after a blaze broke out on the Mutiara Sentosa 2 ferry in the early morning on Sunday.
While initial reports said the ferry was carrying 232 passengers and 39 crew members, authorities have since said that many more people were aboard than listed. Officials are relying on reports from the families of victims and survivors in an attempt to determine the number of those missing.

- Description
- Around 60,000 people crossed into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta in one of the largest migration crises the European Union has faced, leaving many migrants stranded without food or shelter.
CGTN correspondent Ken Browne reports from Ceuta, where hundreds of people were still sleeping rough on beaches and streets days after the mass arrivals from Morocco.
Spanish authorities said tens of thousands had already returned, but many remained in difficult conditions, with some migrants saying they had no access to basic supplies.
The crossings prompted Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to call the situation a “violation of Spain’s territorial integrity”, while blaming “immigration mafias” for organizing the movement.
At least dozens of people have died during the crossings, as authorities continue to respond to the humanitarian situation.
