Today's Highlighted Video Story: Croatia has become the latest country to adopt the euro as its currency, formally joining the eurozone as well as the Schengen area of free movement. "This is a great achievement for Croatia," said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. "A symbol of its deep-rooted attachment to the EU, and a symbolic moment for the euro area as a whole." People in Croatia will be able to continue to use the Croatian Kuna as well as the euro, for a short transitional period over the next two weeks. Croatia is the first country to join the Schengen zone in 11 years.

Today's Highlighted Video Story: The UN General Assembly has passed a resolution calling on the International Court of Justice, to give an opinion on the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory. The last time the ICJ gave an opinion on the conflict between Israelis and the Palestinians was in 2004 - ruling Israel's separation wall was illegal. The top UN court deals with disputes between states. And although its rulings are binding, the court itself has no power to enforce them.
