[00:00:00] was immediately in the first year and was not a practice
[00:00:03] until 2001. In 2001, continuous celebrations
[00:00:06] began in Knin, but Knin was not really the
[00:00:10] heart of the rebellion against the Croatian state and the right of the Croatian people
[00:00:13] to have their own national state within their internationally
[00:00:17] recognized borders. That rebellion came from Belgrade, and today,
[00:00:21] from recent days and years, and all this time
[00:00:24] we have been listening to the same nonsense, some will say
[00:00:27] revision of history. Croatia is one. a state at this
[00:00:31] moment in the European Union in NATO, whose army is led by
[00:00:34] people who were 30 years ago young men
[00:00:38] with serious unprecedented today,
[00:00:41] then military combat experience in
[00:00:45] Calais, in real combat, not a single chief
[00:00:49] of general staff of any NATO state has
[00:00:52] led a battalion in an attack, every soldier knows what a
[00:00:56] battalion in an attack is in a military exercise, let alone in actual
[00:01:00] wartime circumstances. Our chief of general staff Tihomir Kundid
[00:01:04] is, and he is the only one like that in the European Union in
[00:01:07] NATO, and among others, but not only for that, he also has
[00:01:11] and will have my
[00:01:12] trust.
[00:01:15] Operation Storm was a brilliant military victory, a
[00:01:18] legitimate liberation operation and the culmination
[00:01:22] of Croatia's struggle for freedom. Under the leadership of
[00:01:25] the first Croatian president, Dr. Franjo Tuđman,
[00:01:29] Croatian defenders, soldiers, police officers, in just
[00:01:32] a few days liberated the largest part of the occupied territory and
[00:01:36] enabled the return of refugees to their
[00:01:39] homes. Operation Storm saved Bihać from
[00:01:43] an impending humanitarian catastrophe,
[00:01:46] changed the balance of power in Bosnia and Herzegovina and
[00:01:49] opened the way to peace and the Dayton
[00:01:52] Agreement. For Croatia,
[00:01:55] after Operation Storm, a successful peaceful
[00:01:57] reintegration of the Croatian
[00:02:00] Danube region was also carried out, by which Croatia completed
[00:02:04] the process of its territorial integrity and
[00:02:07] the return of temporarily occupied areas to the constitutional legal order
[00:02:11] of the country. These historical facts are
[00:02:15] what our pride is based on,
[00:02:18] peaceful, dignified
[00:02:20] and unwavering.
[00:02:27] In recent weeks, Vesela, we witnessed the great tensions between
[00:02:30] the president and the government regarding the sending of Croatian soldiers to
[00:02:34] Paris for the celebration of the Day of the Fall
[00:02:37] of the Bastille, in the center of which was the Chief of General Staff
[00:02:40] Tihomir Kundid. The relations between the Prime Minister and the President have been strained for a long time,
[00:02:44] even without that, we know. Was that felt in Knin
[00:02:47] today?
[00:02:50] Well, it was not felt in Knin today at all.
[00:02:54] Minister of Defense Ivan Anušić says that they are on good terms, that
[00:02:58] they are good with Kundid, but that...
[00:03:00] That wouldn't be said, at least from what I managed to see from
[00:03:04] the morning in the protocol, so in some kind of contact with
[00:03:07] government representatives and specifically with Prime Minister Tihomir Kundid was not
[00:03:11] there all the time, so from the departure here from the square with
[00:03:15] the laying of wreaths to the central ceremony that took place right at
[00:03:18] the NK Dinara stadium, Tihomir Kundid was in the
[00:03:22] company of his boss, so President of the Republic Zoran
[00:03:25] Milanović, for their relations we can say that they are still
[00:03:29] good, so. they are firm, it was in
[00:03:31] his speech at the Dinara stadium
[00:03:35] that President Zoran Milanović also emphasized
[00:03:39] that their relations are very good and that there are no disagreements and that
[00:03:43] it will remain so.
[00:03:46] when Israeli bomb struck a Let's look at, or rather listen to what Prime Minister Andrej
[00:03:49] Plenković said about all that.
[00:03:56] There will always be tension, politics is like that, we cannot all think the same. and it would not be good if we all
[00:04:00] thought the same, the key
[00:04:03] to that is that in key and important matters, both General Kundid
[00:04:07] and the Prime Minister and the President must make decisions, and we
[00:04:10] make decisions that are important and key for the development and strengthening of the armed
[00:04:14] forces of the Republic of Croatia, they are the most important here, no one individual is important here, we are all
[00:04:18] transient and we will all at some point go our separate ways, but
[00:04:22] the armed forces must remain stronger when we leave this
[00:04:26] position to hand them over to someone who will continue to equip,
[00:04:30] modernize, strengthen, and empower our armed
[00:04:32] forces.
[00:04:35] Mr. Kondid, did you talk today, we greeted
[00:04:39] each other, thank you, thank
[00:04:40] you very much,
[00:04:48] yes, we also saw the situation that happened at Dinara stadium when
[00:04:52] the President of the Republic Zoran
[00:04:55] place, between him and
[00:04:58] Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, sat
[00:05:02] one of the people who is responsible for raising the flag on
[00:05:06] the Knin fortress, Robert Puja. The President
[00:05:09] of the Republic on that occasion, when he went to sit
[00:05:12] in his place, only shook his hand, then sat down, and practically
[00:05:16] didn't even look at the Prime Minister, so this is a scenario that we see
[00:05:20] almost every year here in Knin. I am now talking to
[00:05:23] the Mayor of Knin, Marija Čačić, so does it bother you
[00:05:27] that every anniversary passes in a tone
[00:05:30] where the Prime Minister and the President are quarreling, do you think that
[00:05:34] it should perhaps end one day? Well, I believe that
[00:05:37] it would be much nicer if they came together and
[00:05:40] jointly showed unity, as our veterans
[00:05:44] showed unity in '95, when we liberated
[00:05:47] our city Knin.
[00:05:51] I have to be honest, I didn't notice any
[00:05:54] friction between them,
[00:05:57] this time, well, I was part of the protocol, so I didn't, I didn't
[00:06:00] notice any friction. Well, they haven't shaken hands for a while, we see
[00:06:04] bickering on, so on the media and
[00:06:08] against each other, each one holds their own side,
[00:06:11] do you think that... it should have stopped already, or at least that at
[00:06:15] such events, they should greet each other and shake
[00:06:18] hands? Well, in any case, I agree that it should
[00:06:22] stop already, I'm afraid that these
[00:06:25] conflicts, that persistent
[00:06:28] conflict, cause damage to our entire
[00:06:32] country, especially on such a day. Maybe it's time to just
[00:06:35] sit down and talk to stop some
[00:06:39] public conflicts between them two. Today... really
[00:06:43] high temperatures, we are now melting, although
[00:06:46] it's 5:30 PM. Are you satisfied with
[00:06:50] the whole day, how it went and with the organization? We
[00:06:53] saw that some veterans wish
[00:06:56] for some changes, so are you perhaps for changes regarding
[00:07:00] the program itself? We see these high temperatures every year
[00:07:04] getting higher and higher, so uh I, I have to say that I am
[00:07:07] satisfied with the large number of people who are here all day
[00:07:10] in the city. Knin, perhaps
[00:07:14] surprisingly more than we initially
[00:07:16] expected, maybe it's the result of the concert that was held
[00:07:20] by Marko Perković Thompson, which was held in Šibenik, so some people from
[00:07:24] the concert immediately came here to Knin
[00:07:27] and participated in the program itself. I am
[00:07:30] very satisfied with how the program went, so everything we
[00:07:34] prepared for practically a month, all of us together, not just
[00:07:38] the city, but the vast majority of the Ministry of Internal
[00:07:41] Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Croatian
[00:07:44] Veterans, this, everything that was planned today was implemented
[00:07:48] without any mistakes and exactly
[00:07:51] as planned, so I can say that I am satisfied with the entire
[00:07:55] program, and as for complaints about changes, every year we
[00:07:58] introduce some changes, just so that the
[00:08:01] program is not the same. This year there were some programs and changes in
[00:08:05] our city program, for example, we introduced a new
[00:08:08] one, a new one that we plan to
[00:08:12] make a tradition in the future, so a festival
[00:08:16] of children's patriotic songs, that was, that was very
[00:08:19] well attended, very positive reactions to that,
[00:08:22] and that was two days before Operation Storm itself, this Monday
[00:08:25] it was, mm, on the very
[00:08:28] day of the celebration, August 5th, the entire program revolves around
[00:08:32] one point, that is 9:43 minutes, when in
[00:08:36] 1995, right on August 5th,
[00:08:40] the flag, the Croatian flag was raised on...
[00:08:52] this year, mass was held earlier before the main event, so we can say
[00:08:55] that
[00:08:57] it caused positive reactions, as I see, positive reactions specifically in the veteran
[00:09:01] population because the mass was held at a more decent time before
[00:09:04] the great heat, when it's practically
[00:09:08] easier to breathe, mornings are much colder. "I have to
[00:09:11] ask you, you've been mayor for two years,
[00:09:15] two terms in a row, before that you were also
[00:09:18] deputy mayor, you've been here for many years, Croats
[00:09:21] and Serbs live here in coexistence for many
[00:09:24] years, so considering that your citizens are both Croats and
[00:09:28] Serbs, how do you view these messages that come from Serbia, specifically from
[00:09:31] Aleksandar Vučić, who absolutely refuses to recognize
[00:09:35] Operation Storm? Well, I think he does that for
[00:09:39] his political situation there in Serbia. Every year we witness
[00:09:42] such statements. They don't benefit us at all, they
[00:09:46] don't bring any benefit, but also no harm, mm.
[00:09:50] He does that for some of his internal political
[00:09:53] squabbles there in Serbia, that's his right, that's
[00:09:56] something we cannot influence, something we cannot
[00:09:59] influence. I have to say that the local
[00:10:02] residents here, both Croats and Serbs, believe that
[00:10:05] Operation Storm was a legitimate operation, according to
[00:10:09] the information I have, and that
[00:10:12] it brought peace, which is the most important thing, not only here in Knin, but in all of
[00:10:21] at 6 o'clock in the streets of Knin a Corteo
[00:10:25] of Torcida is expected, that has been happening for the last three years, in the evening
[00:10:29] there will be a concert of Hrvatski Ruže and Tihe
[00:10:32] Urlić
[00:10:51] of Operation Storm again brought messages to the neighboring
[00:10:55] Serbia. The central point of this year's discussions became the arrival
[00:10:58] of diplomatic representatives of Montenegro to the celebration in Knin. This move
[00:11:02] provoked sharp reactions in Belgrade and Banja Luka, while official
[00:11:06] Podgorica sees the arrival as part of usual diplomatic practice
[00:11:09] and building good neighborly relations. Serbian President
[00:11:13] Aleksandar Vučić and former President of the Republic
[00:11:16] of Srpska Milorad Dodik openly call this act treason and
[00:11:19] an attack on Serbian victims. They were quickly answered
[00:11:23] from Knin.
[00:11:28] The 31st anniversary of the military-police operation
[00:11:31] Storm was marked peacefully and with dignity, but in
[00:11:35] the background of the ceremony, new regional earthquakes.
[00:11:38] The presence of the Montenegrin embassy in Knin raised
[00:11:41] the political temperature in the relations between Podgorica, Belgrade, Banja
[00:11:45] Luka. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić
[00:11:48] criticized Montenegro for sending a representative to Knin, but not
[00:11:52] to the commemoration for Serbian victims in Mrkonić.
[00:11:55] Work, thank the government of Montenegro, this is not
[00:11:58] the end, this is just the beginning of such decisions, they
[00:12:02] will have many more such decisions in the future, things
[00:12:05] will not change there, things will get worse
[00:12:08] and worse. Last year then Minister of Defense Dragan
[00:12:12] Krapović rejected the invitation, citing the historical and regional
[00:12:15] context and the sensitivity of the topic. Vučić's harsh words were immediately
[00:12:19] echoed in Banja Luka. I love Montenegro
[00:12:23] for some reason of my own. But I don't like it the way it is,
[00:12:26] treacherous, I have the right to say that, regardless of what anyone will say, that it interferes, because they
[00:12:30] interfere with our pain, they directly stab a knife
[00:12:34] in our heart, because they go and stand on the side of those
[00:12:38] who ethnically cleansed the Republic of Srpska
[00:12:41] Krajina. From Podgorica, they say that it is about respecting
[00:12:45] the host country and focusing on a European future and
[00:12:48] regional stability. The presence of diplomatic
[00:12:52] and consular representation at official state commemorations of the
[00:12:55] host country represents standard diplomatic practice, especially between
[00:12:59] neighboring countries and allies within NATO. Such participation
[00:13:02] reflects respect for the host country and its
[00:13:05] institutions, as well as Montenegro's commitment to fostering
[00:13:09] good neighborly relations, open dialogue, and
[00:13:12] regional cooperation. Operation Storm was a legitimate operation
[00:13:15] that restored the sovereignty of the country, the arrival of diplomats from
[00:13:19] Montenegro is a civilized act and respect for international
[00:13:22] order, said the Croatian foreign minister.
[00:13:26] All countries have accredited their ambassadors, I don't see
[00:13:29] any surprise
[00:13:33] why someone would be there and someone would not. So, all those
[00:13:36] who respect Croatian laws, which is
[00:13:40] implied, and Croatian
[00:13:42] holidays, are welcome. This year, Vučić
[00:13:46] continued with messages that Operation Storm was a crime that Serbs
[00:13:50] must not forget. I guarantee you that
[00:13:53] nowhere else in the Republic of Serbia,
[00:13:56] nor in any part of the territory
[00:14:00] of Serbia, there will be no storm,
[00:14:03] pogroms, and suffering of the Serbian people. Serbia is strong enough,
[00:14:07] I can tell you that today, it will preserve and protect
[00:14:11] its people. In Knin, Vučić's repetition of similar
[00:14:14] messages year after year did not surprise anyone, not even the state
[00:14:18] leadership. It is not necessary for everyone to see history in the same way,
[00:14:21] but I also think that we should not react
[00:14:25] to every nonsense, verbal nonsense that
[00:14:28] comes across the Danube, it will come all the time, but as for
[00:14:32] what is being done in the material sphere, that is,
[00:14:36] begging your pardon, armament, we need to deal with that
[00:14:39] and pay close attention to it. We threaten
[00:14:42] no one, but we fear no one. To
[00:14:46] every threat we will know how to respond. Croatia
[00:14:50] will never again be unprepared or
[00:14:52] unprotected. Do we want peace? "We must be
[00:14:56] able to defend it, considering such inflammatory rhetoric that in
[00:14:59] many ways resembles what happened in the 80s, we must
[00:15:03] be ready and what we saw today really makes it seem that
[00:15:07] Croatia is a strong country that can
[00:15:10] retaliate against any potential, against any potential
[00:15:13] threat. Regarding the messages sent by Aleksandar Vučić, but also what
[00:15:16] Operation Storm was, the coalition partners and
[00:15:19] the opposition agree. Croats never conquered, Croats defended
[00:15:23] themselves. As long as they are peaceful across the Drina and
[00:15:27] have no pretensions, we will build
[00:15:30] economic, interpersonal and all other relations, as
[00:15:34] they say, there will be no storms as long as they...
[00:15:37] "sit in peace and mind their own business, but
[00:15:41] if necessary, there will be storms. Look, they got beaten up
[00:15:44] in '95, so it hurts them, it
[00:15:47] burns them, and I'm sorry that's the case. There are certainly many normal people
[00:15:51] in Serbia who respect realities and want normal relations,
[00:15:55] but unfortunately, those who obviously don't want that dominate. History will
[00:15:59] show that Aleksandar Vučić is actually the biggest problem for Serbia and its
[00:16:03] citizens, and he has been showing a clear tendency for 10 years to write some new
[00:16:06] history". Serbia, Croatia, these parts of Europe, the world,
[00:16:10] he has got into this role of some kind of world director.
[00:16:14] We don't care, we don't care about them, let them, let them whine,
[00:16:28] Plenković, used the opportunity to announce an increase in veteran
[00:16:31] pensions. Here's exactly what he
[00:16:32] said.
[00:16:35] This autumn, the Croatian government will submit to the Parliament amendments to two
[00:16:39] laws, which will introduce an addition to
[00:16:42] the pension, the amount of which will depend on the length of participation
[00:16:45] in the defense of Croatia's sovereignty.
[00:16:49] Also, according to the same criterion, we will also increase
[00:16:52] the lowest veteran pensions. And after
[00:16:55] we abolished two previous reductions in 2017 and
[00:16:58] 2022, we will also abolish the last remaining
[00:17:02] reduction in pensions for members of the army,
[00:17:05] police, and other authorized officials introduced
[00:17:09] in 2002. These amendments will
[00:17:12] cover about 200,000
[00:17:16] Croatian veterans.
[00:17:29] due to drought and high temperatures, the Krško nuclear power plant will start
[00:17:33] reducing reactor power from tonight and will operate at reduced power.
[00:17:37] at 80%, further reductions are not ruled out.
[00:17:41] Here's what they said from Krško.
[00:17:42] Due to the continuation of extreme
[00:17:46] hydrological and meteorological conditions on the Sava River, it is announced that
[00:17:49] on Thursday night, the gradual reduction of reactor
[00:17:53] power will begin. In the first step, the power
[00:17:56] will be reduced to 80%. This
[00:17:59] is a planned, controlled, temporary measure that is necessary to
[00:18:02] ensure compliance with the provisions of the environmental permit,
[00:18:06] according to which the daily average temperature of the Sava River at the point of complete
[00:18:09] mixing downstream from the Brežice hydroelectric power plant must not exceed
[00:18:13] 28°C, and the average daily temperature
[00:18:16] increase must not be greater than 3°C. If the
[00:18:20] current hydrological and meteorological conditions continue to
[00:18:23] worsen, the plant will continue to further reduce reactor
[00:18:27] power.
[00:18:29] Minister of Economy Ante Šušnjar
[00:18:32] was asked today what consequences that would have and whether
[00:18:35] electricity prices could increase.
[00:18:38] These are environmental
[00:18:43] requirements that will be slightly remodeled because we are in
[00:18:46] extreme weather conditions. The Krško
[00:18:49] nuclear power plant is definitely operating, producing
[00:18:53] energy. If that decision is made today, according
[00:18:56] to announcements from colleagues from Slovenia, there should be no
[00:18:59] reduction in power. We will see how the thermal
[00:19:03] situation develops
[00:19:06] in this part of the world, Europe, and we will
[00:19:09] act accordingly. However, for now,
[00:19:12] the Krško nuclear power plant is definitely
[00:19:16] operating, and there are no reductions. Can electricity prices increase?
[00:19:19] No, electricity prices cannot increase. We take care of supply
[00:19:23] security. Supply in the Republic of Croatia is
[00:19:27] secure. We have stable production and exchange.
[00:19:30] In
[00:19:31] Croatia, the peak of the heat
[00:19:34] wave. For the entire country, we have a red warning, which means that the weather
[00:19:38] is extremely dangerous and that citizens should protect themselves from
[00:19:41] heat waves. Temperatures today in most of the country were from 36 to
[00:19:45] 39. HŽ Infrastruktura announced that
[00:19:48] the heat also heats up the tracks to over 60 degrees,
[00:19:52] so they are conducting increased surveillance of the track conditions. It is no easier
[00:19:55] in the rest of Europe either, they are still struggling with
[00:19:59] heat waves, low river levels, and fires.
[00:20:02] More from Andrej Dimitrijević.
[00:20:05] Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day, Croatian
[00:20:09] War Veterans Day, and the 31st anniversary of Operation
[00:20:12] Storm, were celebrated in Knin with a temperature of
[00:20:16] 36°C.
[00:20:18] It was not
[00:20:22] easy for the state leadership to endure
[00:20:24] the heat.
[00:20:29] A red warning is in effect for the entire country, meaning the weather is
[00:20:32] extremely dangerous and citizens today and tomorrow should protect themselves
[00:20:35] from heat waves. HŽ Infrastruktura says that the heat
[00:20:39] heats up the tracks to over 60°, so they are conducting
[00:20:42] increased monitoring of the track conditions. In case of track
[00:20:46] deformation, train speed is temporarily limited or the track is closed,
[00:20:49] which can cause
[00:20:51] delays. It's no easier in the rest of
[00:20:54] Europe. Italy is facing a heat wave due to which
[00:20:58] a red alert is in effect in 25 cities, and tomorrow the
[00:21:01] warning will extend to a total of 27 cities.
[00:21:04] Three new deaths have been recorded, suspected to be related to
[00:21:07] extreme heat. It's hellishly hot in
[00:21:11] the Vatican.
[00:21:14] So we are a little used to it.
[00:21:18] Especially because of the humidity.
[00:21:50] more sensible, I liked the idea that, eh,
[00:21:53] Prague introduced some places where you can cool down, and so
[00:21:57] I'm struggling so, so that when it's time
[00:22:00] to cool down, I go swimming in the cold water of
[00:22:04] the Vltava, on the bank,
[00:22:06] we swim, we sit, then we sit and have a cold
[00:22:10] beer, for example, and mostly we sit at home like
[00:22:14] most people under a tree,
[00:22:17] Europe, the continent that is heating up the fastest. This summer it has been hit by
[00:22:21] record heat, devastating forest fires that have
[00:22:24] especially affected France and Spain, and of course
[00:22:27] Greece.
[00:22:30] Obviously the emphasis will be on Western Attica.
[00:22:34] So that we can
[00:22:37] ensure that all restoration works will be
[00:22:41] completed within the specified timelines. In
[00:22:44] Italy, by Lake Como, firefighters have been trying to contain the
[00:22:48] encroaching fire since yesterday.
[00:22:52] "Animals are also affected by the heat, rare European bison in Serbia
[00:22:55] are thus left without the necessary puddles from which they drink water and in which they
[00:22:59] cool down. When such periods occur, then
[00:23:03] we encounter a problem, because as I say, for example, a
[00:23:07] cow in such conditions drinks 80 to
[00:23:11] 150 liters of water per day. But the worst is yet
[00:23:14] to come tomorrow. Parts of Croatia are threatened by up to
[00:23:17] 42°C during the day, and temperatures
[00:23:20] at night will not drop below 22 degrees.
[00:23:23] The good news is that we only have to endure one more day, after that the
[00:23:27] hellish heat will
[00:23:50] Almost three years after Israeli bombs hit
[00:23:53] a residential building in Gaza City, 112 Palestinians killed
[00:23:57] in that attack were buried in a joint funeral
[00:24:00] ceremony. Gaza civil defense members last month
[00:24:03] began searching the ruins to find
[00:24:07] their remains, but the bodies have still not been
[00:24:10] found.
[00:24:20] war-torn streets of Gaza City. This funeral
[00:24:23] procession is nearly three years overdue. The
[00:24:27] 112 men, women, and children being buried
[00:24:31] today, were killed in November 2023,
[00:24:36] residential block in this same city. Search and
[00:24:39] rescue teams were only able to begin recovering bodies from the rubble
[00:24:43] last month. Nearly three weeks later, Gaza's civil
[00:24:46] defense spokesman says they recovered the remains of...
[00:25:20] come to bid farewell, nearly every person killed in that November
[00:25:23] 2023 attack hailed from two large Palestinian
[00:25:27] families, one of which is tied to the mujahidin brigades, a
[00:25:31] Palestinian militant group. The Israeli military has not
[00:25:35] publicly identified any militants killed in that
[00:25:38] strike. Many more bodies are still trapped beneath the rubble,
[00:25:42] some 8,000 according to Gaza's civil
[00:25:45] defense.
[00:25:48] And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published a video statement regarding
[00:25:52] the Gaza agreement promoted by US President Donald Trump. In
[00:25:55] his video, Netanyahu says that Israel will not withdraw from current
[00:25:59] lines until Hamas is completely disarmed. Two,
[00:26:16] we allow our IDF soldiers to do whatever
[00:26:19] is necessary to protect themselves, to protect
[00:26:22] our territory, to protect our citizens.
[00:26:25] Three, President Trump thinks, his team thinks,
[00:26:28] that they can get Hamas to disarm.
[00:26:31] And to deploy to Gaza, we are checking
[00:26:35] it, they sent us a draft, we did not agree, it's not our
[00:26:39] draft, we sent our comments, by the way, we sent our comments
[00:26:42] before we received a media campaign on the matter, this
[00:26:46] is our position.
[00:26:49] The Hormuz Strait will be opened very soon. Otherwise, Iran will
[00:26:52] suffer greatly. a blow.
[00:26:56] President Donald Trump who said in an interview for Fox News. Trump
[00:27:00] added that good talks are being held,
[00:27:02] but that Tehran wants to reach an agreement. According to
[00:27:05] the website which refers to sources from the region, a
[00:27:09] temporary 60-day agreement is being discussed to
[00:27:12] regulate passage through the strait between Iran and Oman. This
[00:27:16] preliminary agreement, which could be announced as early as today,
[00:27:19] according to Axios, stipulates that all maritime traffic
[00:27:23] entering the strait will use the northern route through Iranian
[00:27:26] waters, all ships leaving will follow the southern route through
[00:27:30] Omani without paying fees. After reaching a final
[00:27:33] agreement, the central part of the strait should be cleared
[00:27:36] of mines, Axios warns that this compromise has not yet been
[00:27:39] finalized.
[00:27:42] The strait's going to be open very soon or they're going to get hit very hard
[00:27:46] and then the strait's going to be open. We were going to a
[00:27:49] tremendous attack, the biggest since World War II, and they called
[00:27:53] me and said, very politely, please can we
[00:27:56] talk, can we talk? They didn't want, and I
[00:27:59] said yes we can talk, let's get it done. finally let's get
[00:28:03] it done, they back out again, are they done? well, if they back out
[00:28:07] again, they're going to get hit really hard, they know that, they
[00:28:10] understand.
[00:28:13] a new Russian attack on Kyiv, in which 17 people were killed
[00:28:16] overnight, more than dozens were injured, according to
[00:28:20] officials of the Ukrainian emergency services. The attack damaged
[00:28:24] warehouses and other facilities, and rescue teams are still searching
[00:28:27] for possible survivors under the rubble. The air raid alarm in
[00:28:31] the capital lasted more than an hour, seven locations were hit.
[00:28:34] The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the targets were logistical
[00:28:38] and supply centers which they claim are used for military
[00:28:42] purposes. The attack caused fires in warehouses, and an ammonia leak
[00:28:45] was also reported, which emergency services have been working on all
[00:28:48] day.
[00:28:52] After yesterday's EU meeting and the decision that due to
[00:28:56] the migrant crisis in Ceuta, they will strengthen the protection of the Union's external borders and
[00:28:59] accelerate the return of those who do not have the right to stay. Spanish authorities
[00:29:03] report that the situation at the border is mostly under control now.
[00:29:07] Spanish Minister of Interior Fernando Grande said that about
[00:29:10] 70,000 of approximately 72,000
[00:29:13] migrants who illegally entered there in recent days have already returned
[00:29:17] to Morocco and that the situation at the border is mostly under control.
[00:29:21] According to data from the central government, about 2,500 migrants
[00:29:24] are still in Ceuta, while local authorities estimate that there are
[00:29:28] between three and five. At least a thousand of them are minors.
[00:29:31] At the same time. Authorities confirmed that at least 75 people died
[00:29:35] during the mass border crossing, while official data states that more than
[00:29:38] 80 people lost
[00:29:42] their lives by drowning or in a stampede.
[00:29:54] And tomorrow it will indeed be unpleasantly hot, then at the end
[00:29:58] of the week it should cool down a bit, primarily in the interior of the country.
[00:30:02] Kristijan Božarov brings
[00:30:04] a more detailed forecast. Hello, dear
[00:30:08] viewers, the peak of the heat is right above
[00:30:11] us today and tomorrow, therefore for these two days the State
[00:30:14] Hydrometeorological Institute for the entire Croatia has issued
[00:30:18] a red weather alert due to extremely high temperatures. All
[00:30:22] this is a consequence of the already several-day stable and dry
[00:30:25] anticyclone above our part of Europe. It brings
[00:30:29] clear days. The days are long full of sun, and at the same time
[00:30:32] it also draws in hot air originating from North Africa, so in that
[00:30:36] combination we have these extremely high temperatures
[00:30:38] and drought, similar will be during Thursday, dry, sunny
[00:30:42] and hot, as in previous days there may be moderate
[00:30:46] cloud development, mainly in the afternoon hours in the
[00:30:49] mountainous area of inland Dalmatia, Lika and Gorski
[00:30:52] Kotar and somewhere up to Učka. In that belt of the Dinarides there is
[00:30:56] a possibility of some scattered shorter local showers, but mostly for...
