1:04Google says its artificial intelligence system Gemini hacked other companies during a test of its cybersecurity capabilities. It's the first known breakout by the company's AI and follows similar incidents at other leading AI labs, including Anthropic, Open AI and Meta. The breakouts have spurred some industry leaders, including Dario Amadei, the chief executive of Anthropic, to call for a slowdown in the development of AI. Despite that call, Anthropic is considering rolling out a new AI model to counter rival Open AI. Sources are telling Reuters that the move is being considered after Open AI's latest model gained a lot of traction among businesses. Both companies are locked in a fierce battle for capital with Anthropic looking to IPO this year, and Anthropic declined to comment on the Reuters reporting. US President Donald Trump says his administration has reached a deal with Denmark and Greenland to expand the US military presence on the island. The agreement falls well short of Trump's aim of acquiring the autonomous Danish territory for the United States.

2:08But the president seems pleased with the outcome, saying it was a dream come true for America. Denmark says the deal will strengthen North Atlantic and Arctic security, while Greenland says it recognizes the Arctic island's interests. The Kennedy Center opened 55 years ago as a living memorial. Demonstrators at the Kennedy Center protest President Trump's efforts to close and remake the center in his image. Don't like a finger on JFK's memorial. The protests come amid speculation about a possible effort to demolish the building. Speaking at the Oval Office on Friday, Trump refused to say whether he would tear the center down. The places had dumped. It's been a dump for years. It's lost money for years. I can turn it around, fix it. Earlier this week, the Kennedy Center Board voted to close the facility for two years for a renovation project. I understand that he paid him back. He didn't want to have that. So I hear he paid him back. President Trump again there, telling reporters his son Don Jr. will pay back on Russian oligarch, who bankrolled his wedding celebrations in the Bahamas.

3:14Democrats launched an investigation this week into reports that Umbar Kremlin, a wealthy Russian businessman, paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the wedding festivities in May. Over in Europe, voters in the former East German state of Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania head to the polls on Sunday. The far right alternative for Germany, or AFD, leads opinion polls just weeks after an historic electoral triumph in nearby Saxony and halls. AFD is unlikely to win enough votes to form a government in Mecklenburg, but that doesn't mean the crisis for Germany's mainstream parties and its Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, is over. James McKenzie has more from Berlin. As things stand at the moment, it looks like the social Democrat state premier, who's someone called Manuel Eschwizich. She looks as those who will be able to form a coalition and stay in power. But the AFD is likely to be the largest single party. So, you know, we can see they're still very strongly placed, but the kind of coalition dynamics are playing against them because they've been isolated by the other parties.

4:22No other, none of the other bigger parties wants to go into a coalition with them. The CDU, the Merzist party, the Christian Democrats, they're in a very, very weak position in Mecklenburg or Western Pomerania. They're down at 7% in the opinion polls. And, you know, they're really running a risk of falling under 5%, which is the really vital level which you need to get into parliament in the first place. That they might get shut out of parliament. That would be really a black eye for Mecklenburg. There's another election which is in Berlin, the capital, which also counts as a state in the German federal system. And the CDU could lose the mayor of Berlin, which they currently, you know, the mayor of Berlin's county, a CDU politician. And they're running sort of neck and neck with the far left party.

5:22And, you know, what happens there will also need to be decided on Sunday. Yamavap Resort and Casino, it's San Manuel is bringing the biggest laughs to the stage.

They're also raising questions about security and alliances. This year President Trump has been testing NATO, threatening troop cuts, banjering allies over defense spending, and criticizing governments who don't unconditionally support the US's rail war against Iran.

6:22Yet, a roger's investigation has found the Trump administration continues to rely heavily on the alliance. Special correspondent Andrew Marshall has more. On the ground, the US military is still pouring money into European bases and relying on them, spending more than $4.2 billion on air bases in Britain, despite limited British support for US strikes in Iran. In fact, the Iran war underscores how dependent Washington remains on European geography. As of June, hundreds of US military aircraft transited through bases in Italy alone, before heading to the Middle East. In one sense, Trump's pressure campaign did work. Europe and Canada's defense spending jumped 20% in 2025. But instead of relying on American weapons, many countries are now shopping elsewhere from Australian radar systems to Swedish surveillance planes. The Pentagon's summer plan for a 25,000 troop cut in Europe was dialed downed with six-month review of US-European force relations,

7:23but Trump's threat to pull out of NATO entirely has still had an impact. Even if the US sticks with NATO, officials are worried that Trump's rhetoric alone is weakening the alliance's core promise. That's Article V, which says that an armed attack on one member is an attack on all. Security experts said Russia could be emboldened if it thinks US forces might not show up in a crisis. That's dangerous, especially with Russian drones and a cruise missile already crossing into NATO airspace in Romania and Poland this year. Russia denies it was involved, but European officials say it's Moscow testing NATO's unity. As fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Hussis intensifies, Yemenis are on the move looking to escape the violence. In the country's Taïe's province, Rojtis visited the Al-Berin camp. There, we met Roya Hassan, a mother of seven, baking bread in a clay oven after fleeing violence in the Al-Qazar area.

8:26Speaking in Arabic, Hassan says her family fled under attacks she described as involving missiles, aircraft and fighting. She says they escaped barefoot, became separated from some of their children during the chaos and arrived with almost nothing. And it's not the first time they've been uprooted. Her family has spent years living with war and displacement and now lacks reliable shelter of food and water. Another resident, Mohydin Saïf, says many arrivals left behind nearly all of their possessions and are appealing for assistance. According to the international organization for migration, more than 100,000 Yemenis have been displaced by the latest fighting, most of them within the country. One of Nike's biggest stars is moving on. French soccer superstar, Kilian Bappe, is leaving the company after a partnership that began when he was just nine years old. He's signing with sportswear brand on, giving the fast growing company one of the biggest names in the game as it expands into soccer.

9:32Reported Danielle Kaye says it's a major win for on, although turning star power into sales is a different challenge. Whether on, they'll be successful in making sustained inroads and soccer is still an open question. Many analysts have noted that this is an increasingly competitive industry, it's a tough industry to break into. We've seen other brands, including Under Armour, New Balance, even Skechers, try to make inroads and soccer, but they've struggled to chip away at the dominance held by Nike, Adidas and Puma. So, while this is sort of a new strategy for on, investors will be closely watching whether this high profile splashy move can actually translate into sustained groups.
