[00:00:48] This is the noon news on M1, I'm Máté Kis, welcome.
[00:00:51] First, let's look at our most important
[00:00:53] news briefly.
[00:00:55] More than 100 people are mistakenly listed in the agent files. The archives apologized.
[00:00:59] They have already started deleting
[00:01:01] the names.
[00:01:03] György Matolcsi remains in custody. The former Central Bank governor
[00:01:07] is suspected of fraud,
[00:01:08] among other things.
[00:01:11] The formation of the government in Israel could drag on for weeks.
[00:01:14] The American Democratic victory does not
[00:01:17] from a burning house last night. favor the situation either.
[00:01:22] More than 100 people's names are mistakenly listed in the released agent
[00:01:25] files. It turned out that they were not observers, but observed
[00:01:29] ones. Sándor Lezsák is among them, who already protested
[00:01:32] on his social media page yesterday. The Director
[00:01:35] General of the Archives and the Prime Minister also apologized to Sándor
[00:01:38] Lezsák. Meanwhile, they have already started deleting the mistakenly published
[00:01:41] names.
[00:01:45] children and the parents. The "I am on the agent list, what kind of agent list?" This was the first reaction of János Szikora, Jászai
[00:01:49] Mari Award-winning director, when a Kossuth Radio correspondent called him
[00:01:52] because of the agent list. He said
[00:01:55] he didn't know he had a file, and he broke out in a sweat. Later he realized
[00:01:59] that in '87 they had indeed tried to recruit him, but he
[00:02:02] said no. This would have been the price for getting his driver's
[00:02:05] license back after a drunk driving incident. He brought
[00:02:08] my driver's license with him
[00:02:12] as well, and indicated
[00:02:16] that, well, in order for us to have a more serious conversation,
[00:02:20] he would need to register that such conversations
[00:02:23] are happening with me, so please sign
[00:02:27] this, and then my
[00:02:30] world suddenly collapsed, like, oh my god,
[00:02:34] they want to recruit me now. János Szikora eventually
[00:02:37] signed nothing, yet he still had a file. It also states
[00:02:41] that two years later he requested the termination
[00:02:44] house became uninhabitable, of contact. However, he says this did not happen, as he did not even
[00:02:46] know about the existence of the document. The six files are locked
[00:02:50] in these compartments. A part of the agent files were released
[00:02:53] yesterday. On the nyitottaktak.Hu website,
[00:02:56] material containing 6,000 names is available. In
[00:03:00] 24 hours, it was revealed about many politicians,
[00:03:03] actors, or figures of scientific life
[00:03:06] that their names are in the registry. The head of department of
[00:03:09] the archive drew attention to the fact that the documents now made public
[00:03:13] served for registration. In order to get a complete picture, one must also
[00:03:17] examine the so-called B files. However, these will only
[00:03:20] be available in February. This will be a much more interpretable,
[00:03:23] digestible story. The only problem, and we say this
[00:03:26] often, is that the entire state security puzzle
[00:03:30] is missing pieces, and in many cases, the
[00:03:33] registration is missing when someone produced volumes,
[00:03:36] and vice versa, someone is on such a registration
[00:03:40] card, but in some cases, they do not have, for example,
[00:03:43] reports that can be compiled into volumes. The historical archive has now reported
[00:03:47] a technical error. It turned out that Sándor Lezsák's name appeared
[00:03:51] in the publicly released database due to an
[00:03:54] IT error. The Director-General told the news that
[00:03:57] he would personally apologize to the former Speaker
[00:04:00] of Parliament. The Prime Minister also did this on his social
[00:04:03] media page after he could not reach Sándor Lezsák by phone. Meanwhile,
[00:04:07] it also turned out that this is not an
[00:04:10] from hospital admission all Vice President, admitted that the isolated case. In the case of about 100, or a little
[00:04:12] more than 100 names, people were also listed who were
[00:04:16] not members
[00:04:19] of the network on the magnetic tape,
[00:04:23] but rather those who were observed
[00:04:26] by the network. According to a Europeon survey, the public
[00:04:30] release of the files has great public support, and two-thirds
[00:04:33] of people expect public consequences
[00:04:36] because of it. The Fidesz
[00:04:40] parliamentary group leader demands the shutdown of the nyitotttak.hu website.
[00:04:44] According to János Bóka, yesterday the names of people who were actually
[00:04:47] under surveillance, and not informants, were made public. Fidesz therefore
[00:04:51] demands that the site be made unavailable until it can be satisfactorily
[00:04:55] determined who was cooperating and who was
[00:04:58] under surveillance. In addition, they demand the establishment of political responsibility
[00:05:02] in the matter.
[00:05:07] department, through György Matolcsi will remain in custody because, according to the Metropolitan Court, there is a possibility
[00:05:11] of influencing the proceedings, of hiding,
[00:05:15] or of fleeing. The former president of the Hungarian National
[00:05:18] Bank is suspected of economic fraud causing significant financial damage and other
[00:05:22] crimes. The court will keep György Matolcsi
[00:05:26] in custody until November
[00:05:27] 23rd.
[00:05:30] Béla Merkely, Rector of Semmelweis University, has resigned. According
[00:05:34] to Telex's information, he announced his resignation at the University's
[00:05:37] Senate meeting this morning. The portal reports
[00:05:40] that the reason for his resignation is a
[00:05:42] loss of confidence between the rector and the board of trustees of the foundation
[00:05:46] that maintains the university. Béla Merkely also issued a statement in which
[00:05:49] he writes that he will resign from January
[00:05:52] 1, 2027.
[00:05:55] The withdrawal of the price cap would not cause drastic price increases,
[00:05:59] according to the Hungarian National Bank. The government believes that due to low
[00:06:03] inflation, the measure can now be abolished. Opposition
[00:06:06] parties do not support this. There is currently no final decision
[00:06:10] on the withdrawal of the price cap. Meanwhile, the European Commission has
[00:06:13] launched two infringement proceedings against Hungary over
[00:06:17] the measure. The
[00:06:20] price cap, which has been in force since last spring, applies to
[00:06:23] 30 basic foodstuffs, which stores can sell for at most
[00:06:27] 10% more than they bought them for, meaning that this
[00:06:30] still does not mean a fixed price, so these products can also become
[00:06:34] more expensive if the purchase price rises. Sugar is also more expensive,
[00:06:38] I'm looking now, cooking oil is also
[00:06:41] more expensive, I'm still walking around here. everything
[00:06:44] is getting more expensive. It's good for buyers, but not for traders,
[00:06:48] the price cap. Small shops cannot compete with the low
[00:06:52] prices prescribed for multinationals. Last year,
[00:06:55] 913 grocery stores had to
[00:06:57] close. They could not set prices in a way that consumers
[00:07:01] would buy from them, they turned away from them. Their revenue drastically
[00:07:04] decreased, and this was very seriously behind the closures.
[00:07:07] Inflation has significantly moderated, in fact
[00:07:11] it is almost at record low levels.
[00:07:14] Áron Porher said during the parliamentary debate on the withdrawal of the price
[00:07:17] cap that food prices had decreased by an average
[00:07:20] of 4.6%, which presents an ideal
[00:07:23] situation for withdrawal. The Secretary of State emphasized that while
[00:07:27] the price cap did reduce the price of certain
[00:07:31] products, traders made up for the shortfall by increasing
[00:07:34] the prices of other products. "Here, we are not working for the traders,
[00:07:38] primarily," he emphasized, "but for the
[00:07:41] voters." According to him, the government does not take into
[00:07:44] account that price-capped products are largely bought by
[00:07:48] large families. The Fidesz representative said he fears
[00:07:52] that, similar to gasoline prices, food prices will
[00:07:55] skyrocket if the restriction is lifted.
[00:07:59] According to the Hungarian National Bank's estimate, the withdrawal would
[00:08:02] not cause drastic price increases, as stated by the analyst
[00:08:06] interviewed by the news. Those that were affected, for example dairy
[00:08:10] products, yogurts, whose prices significantly decreased,
[00:08:13] even when this measure was introduced last year, it is possible
[00:08:16] that there will be a price increase, but it will probably not be as
[00:08:19] large as it was at
[00:08:22] the introduction. The withdrawal of the price cap
[00:08:25] has been urged by several organizations, including the Hungarian
[00:08:29] Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the National Chamber of Agriculture.
[00:08:32] The European Commission has also launched two
[00:08:35] infringement proceedings against Hungary due to the
[00:08:38] measure. December 23rd will be
[00:08:42] stressful for shop workers. This is what the president
[00:08:45] of the trade union of commercial employees expects, after the Parliament
[00:08:48] declared the 24th a public holiday. This means
[00:08:52] that shops will be closed for three consecutive days.
[00:08:56] The decision could mean a loss of up to 30 billion forints
[00:08:59] for the national economy, and this could lead to a customer
[00:09:02] rush greater than ever before. Despite this, the change was
[00:09:05] supported, because this way shop workers can also spend Christmas
[00:09:09] Eve with their families.
[00:09:11] "I hereby establish and promulgate the resolution of the National Assembly."
[00:09:15] On Tuesday, the National Assembly voted that December 24th, Christmas
[00:09:18] Eve, should be a public holiday this year.
[00:09:21] The National Trade Association welcomed the amendment.
[00:09:25] As they wrote, they leave enough time for preparation by adopting
[00:09:29] the amendment now, at the beginning of November. "I think everyone
[00:09:32] is very happy about it now." The president of one of the trade unions representing
[00:09:35] commercial workers told the news that the affected workers are particularly
[00:09:39] happy about the new day off, but the burden will not disappear.
[00:09:42] "What will bring a change is the 23rd, because on that
[00:09:46] day, with a three-day shop closure, people will obviously prepare by buying
[00:09:50] everything they find on the shelves, so I expect a very strong 23rd and
[00:09:54] a great burden on commercial workers." According to some
[00:09:57] calculations, another public holiday could mean a loss
[00:10:00] of up to 30 billion forints for the national economy.
[00:10:03] However, according to the National Association of Employers and Industrialists,
[00:10:07] this is not the only problem. "This year, this will probably cause
[00:10:10] difficulties for businesses, as year-end production plans,
[00:10:14] holiday plans, and work schedules
[00:10:16] have already been prepared, and therefore these may need
[00:10:20] to be modified." The public holiday on December 24th also
[00:10:23] means that, contrary to original plans, there will be no
[00:10:26] workday rescheduling, and there will be no need to work
[00:10:30] on Saturday, December 12th.
[00:10:36] Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed strengthening air defense and security
[00:10:40] guarantees after the war in a phone call with Donald
[00:10:43] Trump's special envoy before next week's
[00:10:46] talks. On Tuesday, an Ukrainian-Russian-American meeting
[00:10:49] will be held in Abu Dhabi to end the conflict.
[00:10:53] After the Ukrainian American midterm elections, Ukrainians
[00:10:56] now hope for more support from the United States.
[00:11:00] Firefighters were called to burning warehouses in the Kiev region
[00:11:04] on Thursday morning. According to Ukrainian reports, the Russians
[00:11:08] carried out 130 airstrikes overnight. People hope
[00:11:11] to receive more air defense weapons from the United States
[00:11:15] after the American Democratic Party gained a majority in both the
[00:11:18] Lower and Upper Houses of Congress.
[00:11:21] "I'm glad, because before Donald Trump took office, Ukraine was able
[00:11:25] to cooperate with Democrats and Joe Biden," a man said.
[00:11:28] Ukrainians hope that the Republican defeat
[00:11:32] will increase Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's diplomatic
[00:11:35] maneuvering room. However, many fear that the weakening of the American
[00:11:39] president's power could slow down
[00:11:41] peace talks.
[00:11:44] "The American president no longer has global influence,
[00:11:48] and probably never will again," another man believed. Some fear
[00:11:52] that Donald Trump will obstruct with a veto.
[00:12:11] Europe and the United States together are much stronger, stated the
[00:12:15] European Union's High Representative
[00:12:16] for Foreign Affairs.
[00:12:21] The Ukrainian president spoke on the phone on Wednesday with Donald Trump's special
[00:12:25] envoy about strengthening Ukrainian air defense
[00:12:28] and preparing for next week's Russian-Ukrainian-American
[00:12:31] talks. However, the Russian president
[00:12:34] does not plan a phone consultation with the American president,
[00:12:38] the Kremlin spokesman announced. Dmitri Peskov also spoke about
[00:12:41] the key topics of next week's trilateral talks being security
[00:12:45] guarantees. A
[00:12:48] stalemate has arisen after the Israeli elections. Neither Benjamin
[00:12:52] Netanyahu nor the opposition camp can
[00:12:56] form a government. The Arab parties could hold the balance of power,
[00:13:00] but neither side can easily accept their support. Before
[00:13:03] the elections, they declared that they would not cooperate
[00:13:06] with the Arabs.
[00:13:09] On Thursday morning, the Israeli President again received the leaders
[00:13:13] of the parties. After it became clear that neither the coalition led
[00:13:16] by Benjamin Netanyahu nor the opposition alliance
[00:13:20] had secured enough seats to form a government.
[00:13:23] At Wednesday's consultation, every politician proposed the leader
[00:13:27] of their own coalition to the
[00:13:28] prime minister.
[00:13:31] "The main thing is that we advocate for the creation of a broad
[00:13:33] national government, which would be led by Benjamin Netanyahu,"
[00:13:37] said a member of the Religious Zionism party. The opposition rallied
[00:13:41] behind Gudy Eisencott. He is expected to gather
[00:13:44] the most recommendations for the prime ministerial
[00:13:47] candidacy. "We just negotiated with the
[00:13:50] head of state. We proposed to him that he entrust Gudy Eisenkot
[00:13:53] with forming the government."
[00:14:03] "We have decisive power in the Knesset, everything depends on us,"
[00:14:05] said the leader of one of the Arab parties. But
[00:14:09] the Jewish parties cannot or do not want to form
[00:14:12] an alliance with them. However, Israel needs a new government
[00:14:16] as soon as possible, after the Democrats achieved a landslide
[00:14:19] victory in the American midterm elections, they can expect
[00:14:22] significantly less support
[00:14:25] from the United States. In the fight against Iran, the Israelis
[00:14:28] may also be left to their own devices, after Jay Devons, the American
[00:14:34] war caused the Republican defeat. Donald Trump also did
[00:14:37] not deny this.
[00:14:39] "I think the main thing was that the price of gas went up a bit,
[00:14:43] but we probably lost because of that too. Yes," said the American
[00:14:47] president.
[00:14:49] Experts expect prolonged coalition negotiations in
[00:14:52] Israel.
[00:14:55] Hubert Aiwanger, Deputy Prime Minister of Hungary, was found dead
[00:14:58] in Berlin. The 55-year-old politician was supposed to attend
[00:15:02] the opening of one of the Free Voters' Berlin offices, but did not
[00:15:06] appear at the event due to feeling unwell. His
[00:15:09] body was found in his hotel room. The police and prosecutor's
[00:15:13] office have launched an investigation to clarify the cause and circumstances
[00:15:17] of his death.
[00:15:20] Tomorrow begins Pope Leo XIV's 12-day apostolic
[00:15:24] visit. The head of the Catholic Church will visit
[00:15:28] Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru. In the latter,
[00:15:31] he served as a bishop for 20 years among the poor. Now
[00:15:35] he returns there for the first time as Pope.
[00:15:38] The car that will transport Pope Leo XIV was blessed
[00:15:42] in a solemn ceremony in Peru on Wednesday. Thanks to the Popemobile,
[00:15:46] many faithful will be able to see the head of the Catholic
[00:15:49] Church up close. The vehicle was converted according to Vatican
[00:15:53] regulations. The Holy Father previously served in the country
[00:15:56] for nearly two decades as a missionary
[00:15:59] and bishop. He helped those in need in
[00:16:02] the poorest regions. During his South American trip, the Pope
[00:16:05] will also visit Uruguay. In the country, the separation of church and state
[00:16:09] is a very prominent principle. According to surveys,
[00:16:13] only one-third of adults identify as
[00:16:15] Catholic.
[00:16:17] "I'm very excited, we don't know if there will be another one like
[00:16:21] this. The last one was Pope John Paul II," said a student. Pilgrims
[00:16:25] processed to the Buenos Aires cathedral where Pope Leo XIV
[00:16:28] will celebrate Mass on Monday. "This is the first
[00:16:32] time he can be seen in person and it fills me with great
[00:16:36] joy," he enthused.
[00:16:49] A man from Jánoshalma rescued his five children and wife
[00:16:54] The family's home was completely burned down, their furniture,
[00:16:57] clothes, and documents were lost. The cause of the
[00:17:01] fire in the building is still under investigation.
[00:17:04] A burnt-out kitchen, soot-covered walls,
[00:17:08] and a charred door - this was the sight that greeted
[00:17:11] firefighters at this family home in Jánoshalma,
[00:17:14] where flames erupted last night. So we were asleep, the kitchen
[00:17:18] caught fire. There were seven people in the building, five
[00:17:23] father rescued the family from the already almost completely
[00:17:26] burning house. "I was sleeping, and it was
[00:17:29] as if someone whispered in my ear to wake up because something was wrong.
[00:17:33] I opened my eyes and noticed that there was a lot of smoke,
[00:17:36] and such...
[00:17:41] I ran out with the burning door so fast, it's unbelievable, and I immediately carried all my
[00:17:43] children out." The firefighters also broke open
[00:17:46] the floor, inspected the attic to extinguish any
[00:17:50] hidden embers. Furniture burned
[00:17:54] in the kitchen of a roughly 56-square-meter
[00:17:57] building in Jánoshalma. The Jánoshalma
[00:18:00] municipal firefighters, who were the first to arrive at the
[00:18:03] scene, de-energized the building, began to
[00:18:06] extinguish the fire, and removed a gas cylinder from the house.
[00:18:10] Professional firefighters from Kiskunhalas arrived shortly
[00:18:12] thereafter, and the units brought the flames under
[00:18:16] control with two water jets and hand tools. The
[00:18:21] and the family's temporary accommodation is being
[00:18:24] arranged by their acquaintances. It is still being investigated what exactly caused
[00:18:28] the fire. The influenza vaccines have arrived.
[00:18:31] Hospitals are already vaccinating their staff. At the
[00:18:35] Uzsoki Street Hospital in Budapest, 460 people requested
[00:18:39] the vaccine, most of whom have already received the shot. Experts
[00:18:42] primarily recommend vaccination for the elderly and chronically
[00:18:46] ill, as they are at higher risk of developing severe
[00:18:49] complications. "Our
[00:18:53] task is to prevent the introduction
[00:18:57] of infection, of the virus
[00:18:59] into hospitals. We can do this effectively
[00:19:03] with the use of vaccinations.
[00:19:06] On the one hand, this means
[00:19:09] that fewer internal
[00:19:13] illnesses may develop. The other very
[00:19:16] important task is to
[00:19:19] ensure the continuity of operations, because if our
[00:19:22] employees get sick, in the
[00:19:25] event of a more intense epidemic,
[00:19:29] in that case, problems may arise in the area
[00:19:32] of hospital operation."
[00:19:36] An application has been developed at the University of Pécs
[00:19:40] to help with stress relief. The TraumaTeam app provides
[00:19:42] a lot of useful information to mentally support patients,
[00:19:47] the way to rehabilitation.
[00:19:51] The new phone application of the University of Pécs is being
[00:19:54] shown to patients in the traumatology department. The unique
[00:19:57] Hungarian innovation mentally supports patients, among
[00:20:01] other things with audio materials. "I listened to one of its chapters
[00:20:05] several times,
[00:20:08] and I found that there was a message
[00:20:11] for me in it." The Traumatem application is available not only
[00:20:14] in the hospital but also at home for patients and their relatives.
[00:20:18] "Anyone who suffers an injury and enters
[00:20:22] the healthcare system will find it useful." The
[00:20:25] application also tries to relieve stress in patients with
[00:20:28] a lot of useful information. The various audio materials support
[00:20:32] them from hospital admission all the way to recovery.
[00:20:35] It adapts to every step of the patient's journey.
[00:20:37] From entering the ambulance
[00:20:41] or admission to the emergency
[00:20:45] preparation for diagnostic processes. It contains
[00:20:48] anxiety relief,
[00:20:52] pain relief, and sleep-inducing
[00:20:55] texts. The director of the traumatology
[00:20:58] clinic said that the most important thing is to calm
[00:21:01] patients and manage stress. This application fills a gap in
[00:21:04] this regard. "It not only serves the health of employees,
[00:21:08] but also helps patients overcome their fears,
[00:21:12] understand therapeutic plans, and facilitates
[00:21:15] cooperation, so it is useful
[00:21:17] from all perspectives. But not only for patients." The program
[00:21:20] also helps healthcare workers manage stress or
[00:21:23] process daily emotional
[00:21:25] burdens.
[00:21:28] The filling in of the Örs vezér tere underpass is not on the agenda,
[00:21:32] the Mayor's Office informed the news. Earlier, the mayor of Zugló
[00:21:35] suggested that the underpass should be closed if public safety
[00:21:39] cannot be improved. Public area supervisors check
[00:21:42] the area several times a day, but after dark,
[00:21:45] problems persist. The surveillance
[00:21:49] camera did not deter the man who repeatedly
[00:21:52] punched and then kicked his acquaintance in the
[00:21:55] Örs vezér tere underpass, exactly three years
[00:21:58] ago. Public safety, at least after
[00:22:01] dark, has not improved since then. In the late
[00:22:05] evening hours and at night, it is still not advisable to go
[00:22:09] down to the underpass alone. "Some very increased, or preferably constant, presence would be needed,
[00:22:12] especially during critical hours, such as weekend
[00:22:16] evenings, which can be quite unpleasant, as all sorts
[00:22:19] of people are present there and behave
[00:22:22] in ways that disturb passengers and passers-by."
[00:22:26] The mayor recently suggested that if the owner,
[00:22:29] the municipal government of Budapest, is unable to handle the situation,
[00:22:32] it would be best to close the underpass. The
[00:22:36] Mayor's Office, in response to M1's question, stated that closing
[00:22:40] an underpass similar to the one at Örs vezér tere
[00:22:43] is a complex traffic engineering issue that would
[00:22:47] cost over 10 billion forints. Therefore, they
[00:22:50] consider the closing of the underpass to be an unprofessional
[00:22:53] idea. They highlighted that public
[00:22:56] space supervision checks the Örs vezér tere on average
[00:22:59] four times a day. In addition, this year they have taken action
[00:23:03] almost 100 times based on live footage from the
[00:23:06] surveillance cameras. Another neuralgic point
[00:23:10] in Budapest from a public safety perspective is the Kőbánya-Kispest
[00:23:14] terminus of metro line 3. Beggars sell stolen goods
[00:23:17] from shopping center stores here.
[00:23:20] "It cast a very bad light on Hungary that tourists, foreigners, come
[00:23:28] by bus, and they are often accosted
[00:23:31] - they beg when they see foreigners pulling their
[00:23:35] small suitcases. Why do they accost them and tell them to give money, because they know
[00:23:39] they came from abroad?" At the Köki terminal, MÁV, BKK, and
[00:23:42] the shopping center share responsibility. There is
[00:23:46] no common security service, police only come out on call.
[00:23:50] The one or two railway guards assigned here avoid
[00:23:53] sensitive areas widely for their own
[00:23:56] safety.
[00:23:58] Two cats have been appointed ambassadors in Japan. Chidur and
[00:24:02] Yamato were not unknown in the island nation before. They
[00:24:05] held important positions at a train station. One of them
[00:24:08] was the stationmaster, and the other was his deputy. They were
[00:24:12] so popular that locals hope that as ambassadors, they will attract
[00:24:16] even more tourists to Japan.
[00:24:37] Now, however, their lives have reached a turning point: they have been appointed tourism ambassadors for Hiroshima
[00:24:39] Prefecture. "The cat siblings help
[00:24:43] revitalize the community and promote the railway,"
[00:24:47] said the region's tourism official. The promoted
[00:24:50] cats peacefully and somewhat unenthusiastically acknowledged
[00:24:54] their new task. In Japan,
[00:24:56] animals are often symbolically appointed
[00:24:59] stationmasters. However, only a few have reached
[00:25:02] ambassadorial level so far.
