[00:00:00] "At this moment, it is very difficult to say because these are complex [00:00:04] hydrogeological relations at the location itself. A favorable fact [00:00:07] is that beneath this landfill there is a geological barrier in the form of [00:00:11] clay which significantly slows down the inflow [00:00:14] of surface water into the underground, and because of this, the [00:00:18] current situation is such that we have only local [00:00:20] contamination. What can also be seen, but [00:00:24] cannot be stated with certainty, is that this aquifer is not contaminated in the sense [00:00:28] that there would be... contamination of drinking water [00:00:32] for human consumption in the area of the city of Gospić, or generally Lika-Senj [00:00:35] County. Mhm. So, currently, we actually don't know how much longer [00:00:39] this three-month period will affect the [00:00:42] situation in Gospić, but of course also around [00:00:44] Gospić. It is very important to know that this is about [00:00:48] one analysis, that is, an analysis that showed, if we are talking about PFOA [00:00:52] compounds, specifically heavy metals, which showed [00:00:56] an increase, or an exceedance of the maximum permissible [00:00:59] concentration. However, to be absolutely sure, [00:01:02] 100% sure, a longer period of time will be needed, more [00:01:05] analyses, to truly determine [00:01:08] the contamination, the flagship of the spread, the flagship of the spread [00:01:11] of that contamination, then we could predict where it will [00:01:15] go, and of course how to prevent it. But the best way to [00:01:18] prevent it is actually to remove the waste from the site, as soon as [00:01:22] possible. Mr. Budiša, thank you for all your [00:01:25] answers and for your dedicated time. [00:01:28] Thank you for the invitation. [00:01:42] Member of Parliament and President of the SDSS Milorad Pupovac [00:01:45] held a press conference from which he stated that he expresses [00:01:49] concern about calls for violence as well as hate speech [00:01:53] that echoed on August 5th in Knin, to which none of the [00:01:56] political actors and media responded. It is allowed for [00:02:00] a criminal order such as the NDH to be glorified on a day important [00:02:04] and paramount for Croatia. That is not patriotism, and those who for years [00:02:07] try to smuggle this as patriotism, truly [00:02:11] undermine patriotism, said Pupovac, then called out [00:02:14] among others [00:02:15] DORH. [00:02:22] Many whose [00:02:26] duty it is to protect the constitutional order of the Republic of Croatia. [00:02:33] And the constitutional preservation of the constitutional order of the Republic of Croatia means [00:02:36] preserving its fundamental values, among which [00:02:39] national equality belongs, among [00:02:42] which belongs peacemaking, [00:02:46] generally the equality [00:02:47] of citizens, [00:02:51] unfortunately, [00:02:54] do not take the necessary actions, [00:02:57] some of these people. People who sang, either in the [00:03:00] Torcida parade [00:03:03] or at [00:03:05] the gathering [00:03:07] of uh Škejina's campaign, [00:03:11] were actually [00:03:13] absolved of responsibility for what [00:03:17] they had done earlier. Why do certain courts [00:03:20] do that? [00:03:24] It's a serious and disturbing [00:03:26] question. Why doesn't the State Attorney's Office, [00:03:31] which is otherwise very enthusiastic [00:03:33] and [00:03:37] to welcome, [00:03:39] conducts a campaign against various other forms of illegality, [00:03:43] especially against corruption, [00:03:46] not take measures ex officio [00:03:49] to suppress hate speech [00:03:53] and incitement [00:03:53] to nationalism? [00:03:57] We don't know that, but we would like to hear [00:04:00] an answer. If democracy and the constitutional order [00:04:04] are defended only by [00:04:05] the police, [00:04:08] then it will look approximately like this, [00:04:11] as it looked two [00:04:13] days ago. [00:04:18] Kinshasa, and at the level of Here are the messages from which we naturally distance ourselves, to which [00:04:22] Milorad [00:04:23] Pupovac was referring. [00:04:34] Ebola does not reach Kinshasa, in the case of [00:05:07] Regarding Milorad Pupovac's question why no one from the government condemned hate [00:05:11] speech and calls for violence this time? Minister Medvjed said [00:05:14] that he was present at the stadium the whole time and that he cannot [00:05:18] comment on what he neither saw nor [00:05:20] heard. [00:05:23] If you have any comments [00:05:26] or need to comment on the official part of the program, for which [00:05:30] we are responsible and which [00:05:33] we implemented based on the government's decision, both [00:05:37] I and State Secretary Darko Nekić, all who [00:05:40] participated in the organization. We will comment on [00:05:43] other [00:05:46] activities or events that took place [00:05:50] on the sidelines of the official program. I cannot [00:05:53] comment. I can comment on what I saw, what we [00:05:56] organized, and what we carried out. [00:06:00] Thank you. You can politically comment on the messages we [00:06:03] heard. You too were present, and a large number [00:06:07] of your colleagues. We were present at the [00:06:10] stadium the whole time. You could hear the same as I did. I [00:06:14] can comment on that, but not more than that. Frankly, I didn't [00:06:18] even get to look at the media, because even after Knin and yesterday, [00:06:21] there was a full day of program in Slunj. Today, after this [00:06:25] press conference, we have a program in Cetingrad, and tomorrow we have [00:06:29] a program in Glina. So, it's an extremely eventful [00:06:32] week where we are focused on supporting [00:06:35] activities, and the dignified celebration [00:06:39] of this anniversary. What I saw or personally [00:06:43] heard, I can comment on. What I didn't, I didn't even get to [00:06:46] see, nor can I comment on. [00:06:48] Milorad Pupovac was right to [00:06:51] speak out. These messages that could be heard are absolutely [00:06:54] unacceptable, and there should be no compromise on this, [00:06:57] say the "Možemo!" platform. [00:07:01] Mr. Pupovac was right [00:07:05] to speak out about this. It is important that he spoke out, [00:07:08] that he spoke out about this. In that regard, he has our full [00:07:12] support. Uh, moreover, I spoke quite recently [00:07:16] in Parliament about unacceptable hate [00:07:18] speech, hate speech which, which is therefore [00:07:22] directed against our fellow citizens, members [00:07:26] of the Serbian national minority. I was personally in Knin, but I [00:07:29] left very quickly, de facto immediately after [00:07:33] the end of the official part of the celebration, so I personally did not [00:07:36] witness those [00:07:40] events that are [00:07:42] absolutely for every person, so it is absolutely unacceptable, not [00:07:46] only that this is happening, but it is absolutely unacceptable [00:07:50] that our authorities do not act, do not [00:07:54] act against people who do such things. So there is no [00:07:57] compromise, there is no, there shouldn't be even a speck [00:08:01] of tolerance towards outbursts of that kind. [00:08:04] Just two days after Prime Minister [00:08:20] Andrej Plenković in Knin, on the anniversary [00:08:24] of Operation Storm, announced higher veteran pensions, Minister Tomo Medved [00:08:28] also published their concrete details. From January next [00:08:31] year, more than 200,000 veterans and family members will have thicker wallets. [00:08:35] The supplement will depend on the time spent on [00:08:39] the battlefield, while the ruling party claims that it is a systematic and [00:08:42] budget-sustainable move, the opposition and pensioner [00:08:45] associations strongly retort that the government is not looking at broader problems [00:08:49] of the system. Nataša [00:08:51] Vidaković brings the details. [00:08:53] What was promised in Knin just two days ago, today has been translated into [00:08:57] concrete figures. A package worth over 88 million [00:09:01] euros is being sent by the government for public consultation. The key [00:09:04] change: the monthly supplement to the pension will, from January, depend on [00:09:08] the time spent on the battlefield. With a comprehensive [00:09:10] approach, we will push for a more just [00:09:14] evaluation of participation in the defense of the sovereignty of the Republic [00:09:17] of Croatia, so that the amount of the pension [00:09:21] will be determined by the length of participation in defense, with [00:09:24] a special emphasis on participation in [00:09:27] the combat sector. And pensions are increasing for more than [00:09:31] 200,000 Croatian veterans and their family [00:09:34] members, of which slightly more than 100,000 will receive [00:09:37] a supplement. The combat sector thus receives 3 euros per month [00:09:41] of participation, while the non-combat sector receives 50 cents. The [00:09:45] remaining reduction from 2002 is completely abolished [00:09:49] for approximately 34,000 soldiers and police officers and other [00:09:52] authorized officials, whose pensions will increase on average [00:09:56] by 70 euros per month. And if [00:09:59] you run a simulation for a veteran who, for example, has one [00:10:03] year in the combat sector, that increase [00:10:06] on a monthly basis will be 36 euros, on an [00:10:10] annual basis 432 euros. [00:10:13] "If we run a simulation for a veteran who has three [00:10:16] years in the combat sector, that increase will be on a monthly [00:10:20] basis 108 euros, on an annual basis [00:10:23] 1296. [00:10:25] The State Secretary adds that benefits for caregivers are increasing and that [00:10:29] the final amount will depend on the local community, and [00:10:32] Minister Ružić says that by abolishing the reduction from [00:10:35] 2002, there will be an increase in the average pension by [00:10:39] 80 euros. He emphasizes that for this reform of veteran [00:10:42] pensions, there will be no need for a budget reallocation, in [00:10:46] terms of new sources and increases, whether [00:10:50] through debt or any burdens, but rather [00:10:53] through redistribution. All necessary [00:10:57] funds will be provided from the beginning of implementation. For [00:11:00] 2027, it is estimated, therefore, [00:11:04] 27 million for the fulfillment of these [00:11:07] rights that we are introducing with the amendments, there is no [00:11:11] talk, therefore, of accelerating inflation. [00:11:14] The announced changes to the law do not cover invalidity pensions and [00:11:18] family pensions of deceased and missing [00:11:20] veterans. The increases, which will be in effect from January 1st next [00:11:24] year, will cost the state a total of 88.5 million [00:11:28] euros, and the minister adds, after public [00:11:30] consultation, this amount could increase. [00:11:33] I emphasize that it is possible that this financial [00:11:37] effect will increase [00:11:39] ukoliko [00:11:41] if there are justified proposals that contribute to [00:11:45] better solutions for the amendments to the [00:11:48] law. We will gladly present our proposals in the parliamentary [00:11:52] debate, say the "Možemo!" party, because their proposal for amendments to the existing [00:11:55] law is already in parliamentary procedure, but it has not [00:11:58] yet appeared on the agenda. What the ministry is offering with these [00:12:02] changes is something like, I would [00:12:06] say, a plaster, like a patch. So the ministry is not aiming [00:12:09] to substantially change the laws, but, as [00:12:13] I understand, the ministry simply intends to give all [00:12:17] veterans an addition to their [00:12:20] pensions based on the number of months spent in [00:12:23] the combat sector, and it surprises him that family disability [00:12:26] pensions are excluded from the measures, however, [00:12:29] pensioners are not surprised only by that. If you divide those 88 [00:12:33] million by these 200 and something thousand, you will get [00:12:36] that it is on average somewhere around 35 euros per month. You can now [00:12:40] imagine how much help that means for those who on average have [00:12:44] a 670 euro pension, who retired under general regulations. What [00:12:48] does 35 euros mean to them? This is actually an attempt to buy off a portion [00:12:51] of naive voters. I believe that voters will not fall for something like this. Public [00:12:55] consultation on these law measures will last for the next 30 [00:12:59] days. This means that the rights and the final battle for pensions [00:13:03] will move to the parliamentary benches as early as the beginning of September. [00:13:06] Nataša Vidaković, N1, [00:14:29] Health Minister Irena Hrstić responded to criticism [00:14:32] from Sinj Mayor Miro Bulj, who requested the government establish [00:14:36] a general hospital in Sinj and warned against, as he claims, the reduction [00:14:40] of health services in the Cetina region. Hrstić states [00:14:44] that the days dedicated to Croatian veterans should not be used [00:14:47] for daily political debates and dismisses claims of the closure [00:14:51] of healthcare in Sinj. She emphasizes that the state has invested [00:14:55] hundreds of thousands of euros in the health center and that new health [00:14:58] services are being developed, including a day hospital and minor [00:15:00] surgery. [00:15:04] The mayor knows very well that already in January, at a meeting at [00:15:08] the Ministry of Health which he himself attended, it was clearly [00:15:11] presented that a day hospital and minor surgery are being developed in Sinj, [00:15:14] not a general hospital 35 km from one of [00:15:18] the largest clinical centers in Croatia. Citizens do not [00:15:22] need unrealistic promises, but accessible and safe health [00:15:26] services. On the other hand, the response of the city of Sinj to the proposal of the Split-Dalmatia [00:15:29] County Health Center for co-financing a Gastroenterology outpatient clinic [00:15:32] worth 300,000 EUR, for [00:15:36] which there are doctors ready to work in Sinj, is still awaited. [00:15:54] From Tuesday, new fuel prices await us. As RTL reports, [00:15:58] the changes should be as follows: The new price for [00:16:01] Eurosuper 95 should be 1 euro and 60 [00:16:04] cents per liter, which is a decrease of two cents. [00:16:07] Eurodiesel will cost 1 euro and 77 cents, [00:16:11] so diesel will increase by 3 cents per [00:16:14] liter. Blue diesel will also increase by 3 cents per liter, and [00:16:17] from Tuesday it should cost 1 euro and 25 cents. [00:16:35] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit Serbia tomorrow [00:16:39] on an official visit. In Belgrade, he will be hosted by Serbian President [00:16:42] Aleksandar Vučić, and this is Zelenskyy's first official visit to Serbia [00:16:46] since becoming president. Let's remember, Vučić's first trip to [00:16:50] Kyiv since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine was on July [00:16:53] 15th, just under a month ago, when he attended [00:16:57] the Southeast Europe - Ukraine summit and was the only [00:17:00] participant of the conference who did not sign the final declaration [00:17:04] of the summit. When asked if Zelenskyy's arrival means [00:17:07] that Serbia is joining sanctions against Russia, Aleksandar Vučić [00:17:10] emphasizes that Serbia's policy on that issue has not [00:17:13] changed. [00:17:17] Don't forget that Ukraine has not recognized [00:17:21] independent Kosovo, that it organized two summits [00:17:24] of Southeast Europe, Ukraine, meaning, [00:17:28] multilateral summits on its [00:17:30] territory, and never once invited representatives [00:17:34] of Priština to attend. These are things [00:17:38] that we must respect. Regarding sanctions, to answer you [00:17:41] directly, Serbia has established its [00:17:44] policy. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, I am sure, [00:17:47] will, in accordance with his struggle and his [00:17:51] views, state what he thinks about sanctions against the Russian [00:17:55] Federation, but the Republic of Serbia, four years ago, [00:17:59] almost five years ago, presented its views, which it has not changed [00:18:02] in the previous period, [00:18:04] and [00:18:07] it will remain so [00:18:08] for the foreseeable future. [00:18:12] And Volodymyr Zelenskyy's ratings are falling. According to the latest [00:18:15] research, his rating has dropped below that of his [00:18:18] generals, and all of this is happening after protests [00:18:22] due to the dismissal of Mykhailo Fedorov from the position of Minister of Defense. [00:18:26] Zelenskyy, according to a survey by the research institute in Kyiv, is in sixth [00:18:29] place among the country's leaders, with only 18% [00:18:33] of respondents stating that they have full confidence in the president. [00:18:36] 24% somewhat trust him, while [00:18:39] 17% give him little trust, and as many as [00:18:42] 37% none at all. In first place, according [00:18:45] to the same research, is Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the former chief [00:18:49] of the country's armed forces and current ambassador to the United Kingdom. [00:19:07] In July, commercial accommodation saw 2% more arrivals [00:19:11] and 1% more overnight stays than in the same period last [00:19:15] year. The highest traffic was generated in family [00:19:18] accommodation, followed by hotels and campsites, which in July [00:19:21] had a 2% better result than last year. However, this [00:19:25] is not the case in Split-Dalmatia County. More in the report by [00:19:29] Vesela Šegvić [00:19:29] Kortić. [00:19:33] In Split-Dalmatia County, approximately 200,000 [00:19:36] guests stay daily. The most numerous are Germans, and when it comes to accommodation, [00:19:40] they most often choose [00:19:41] family accommodation. [00:19:46] It's 18 km from here. Okay, and why is [00:19:50] that? Why there, because we have uh much of space [00:19:53] for us, um, no neighborhood or something, we can [00:19:57] be as loud as we want with children, especially. It [00:20:00] depends on vacation, what kind of vacation? It's mix [00:20:04] hotel apartments. Now we are on the ship the first time, so... [00:20:17] So this month, family accommodation is the winner in [00:20:20] traffic, although they did not expect it at the beginning of the tourist [00:20:24] season, this extraordinary host tells us. Last-minute [00:20:27] saved us this year, and when you look at the situation in the whole [00:20:30] world, we should be extremely satisfied. Hotels are the most [00:20:34] satisfied, [00:20:36] July. In this hotel, it was 5% better than last year, [00:20:40] and the forecasts for the rest of the season are very good because they don't have [00:20:44] any free beds until October. Overall, it's even [00:20:48] 10% better than last year. Let's look at all those [00:20:51] revenues and the percentage of guest arrivals. [00:20:55] This is not true for this camp in Stobreč, although generally [00:20:58] speaking, July was 2% better, they have [00:21:01] a 5% decrease. [00:21:05] Which we cannot confirm growth in July. [00:21:08] Forecasts for August are very good, but it is still early [00:21:12] to predict how the rest of the season will unfold, through [00:21:16] which Croatian tourism is currently passing as last [00:21:19] season. Whether there will be major changes will be shown by the numbers at [00:21:22] the end of the tourist year. Vesela Šegvić Kordić, N1 Split. [00:21:40] Hundreds of thousands of people in southwest Japan are evacuating [00:21:43] due to the approaching Typhoon Dolphin, which brings destructive [00:21:46] winds, heavy rain, and high waves. Due to the [00:21:50] storm, more than 500 flights have been canceled, and [00:21:53] operations in some factories have been suspended. The Category 1 typhoon brings winds [00:21:57] up to 144 km/h, with gusts [00:22:00] reaching almost 200 km/h. Authorities have [00:22:04] issued evacuation orders for nearly 260,000 [00:22:08] residents of Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures, [00:22:11] warning of the possibility of floods and extensive [00:22:14] damage. The storm also affected Kyushu Island, which is still [00:22:18] recovering from last week's [00:22:20] 7.1 magnitude earthquake. Thousands of people are still in [00:22:23] evacuation centers, and meteorologists warn of [00:22:27] the danger of a heat [00:22:28] wave. [00:22:32] At least seven people have died and 15 have been injured in [00:22:35] a shooting that occurred this morning at a high school in Thailand [00:22:39] north of Bangkok. According to Thai authorities, [00:22:43] among the deceased are three teachers, three students, [00:22:46] and the attacker, who is believed to have been a minor student at the school. [00:22:50] Police state that after the attack, he committed [00:22:52] suicide. After the shooting, panic ensued, [00:22:56] and students and teachers were immediately evacuated from the building. Numerous [00:22:59] police and emergency services were deployed at the scene while the investigation [00:23:03] was ongoing and is still ongoing, which should clarify [00:23:07] the circumstances of one of the deadliest school [00:23:10] shootings in Thailand's recent [00:23:12] history. [00:23:59] Health authorities of the Democratic Republic of Congo [00:24:03] have screened more than 300 passengers of a riverboat after the death [00:24:06] of a man suspected of being infected with Ebola. The boat was [00:24:10] stopped near Maluku near Kinshasa, [00:24:13] where health teams set up a mobile laboratory and took samples [00:24:17] from four passengers who had symptoms such as [00:24:21] fever. It is suspected that the 32-year-old man who [00:24:24] died on July 25th traveled on the same boat, and [00:24:28] authorities are still determining where he was infected and at which station [00:24:31] he boarded. The Ebola epidemic in Congo, which [00:24:35] is caused by a very rare strain of Ebola, has spread [00:24:38] beyond its initial hotspot in Turi province. According to the latest [00:24:42] data, almost 3,900 people have been infected, and [00:24:45] more than 1,700 have died. Due to [00:24:48] fear of further spread of the virus along major river transport [00:24:51] routes, authorities are increasing monitoring and [00:24:54] testing. [00:24:59] We started from this, informing [00:25:02] us that a boat left from [00:25:05] Kisangani, Chopo, for [00:25:08] the equator, there was a death [00:25:11] probably due to [00:25:14] Ebola. So, as we know [00:25:18] that we must... [00:25:20] do everything so that [00:25:24] the preparation on the order of the [00:25:27] hierarchy, it's been 3 [00:25:30] days that we have been here, waiting for this boat. We have [00:25:34] prepared so that we can [00:25:36] fully screen the boat, all the passengers who [00:25:40] are on board, and to [00:25:43] be sure that there is no [00:25:46] case that can enter Kinshasa. [00:26:18] And what kind of weather conditions or misfortunes await us, our meteorologist [00:26:22] Bojan Lipovščak will tell us. [00:26:24] Lipovščak. [00:26:27] Good evening, what kind of weather awaits us [00:26:30] tomorrow on Sunday? And for most of [00:26:33] next week, we are still [00:26:37] under the influence of [00:26:39] a trough extending north of the Alps, which is rapidly [00:26:43] moving across our regions. It brought [00:26:45] a slight cooling to the interior. Behind [00:26:49] the front, high pressure is strengthening, [00:26:52] so we will continue with stable, sunny, [00:26:56] warm weather. [00:26:59] Today... it was [00:27:03] hot, tomorrow it won't be [00:27:06] so hot due to the passage of that cold front which will [00:27:09] affect most of the interior, reducing [00:27:13] air temperature. Thunderstorms are [00:27:17] possible tomorrow in most of the [00:27:20] interior, and in some places [00:27:23] there will be abundant rain [00:27:27] accompanied by showers of almost tropical [00:27:30] characteristics. Morning temperatures in [00:27:34] the interior are finally a little pleasant for [00:27:37] sleeping, with temperatures below and up to [00:27:40] 20°C, however, on the Adriatic, it will still be [00:27:44] a very warm night with air [00:27:47] temperatures from 28 to 29, and in some places even [00:27:51] 30°C, which is a consequence [00:27:55] of the Foehn bora and its heating effect on [00:27:58] the atmosphere. The highest daily [00:28:01] temperatures in most of the interior will be around [00:28:04] 30°, while on the Adriatic, temperatures will remain [00:28:08] up to 37. On the [00:28:11] northern Adriatic, especially in the [00:28:14] Podvelebitski primorje, strong and locally stormy [00:28:17] gusts of bora, while on the [00:28:21] bora will slowly spread towards the central [00:28:24] Adriatic, on the southern Adriatic, the [00:28:28] Libeccio will blow. The further development of the weather situation is... [00:28:32] again under the influence of warm air from [00:28:36] African origin which will again move [00:28:40] across Italy to reach our regions, this [00:28:43] cold air which has currently [00:28:47] moved the heat wave slightly [00:28:50] south, has moved away to the [00:28:53] east and is affecting mainly [00:28:57] Russia and [00:28:59] Ukraine, if we look at... [00:29:03] air temperatures, they will drop slightly on [00:29:06] Saturday, insignificantly in the interior, meaning we will reach [00:29:09] temperatures below 30°C, around [00:29:12] 27. Short-term showers and [00:29:15] thunderstorms can be expected on Saturday, after that, [00:29:18] from Sunday, Monday onwards, temperatures will [00:29:21] rise again towards values of [00:29:24] 35-36°C. [00:29:27] So, the heatwave is returning. [00:29:30] On the Adriatic, it's almost as if we [00:29:34] won't even feel this cooling, just a [00:29:37] little bit on Saturday [00:29:40] and accompanied by the bora wind which will slightly [00:29:44] stir the sea, so the air temperature, [00:29:47] water temperature will slightly drop due to the [00:29:50] rising of colder layers from [00:29:54] the depths. So we expect sea temperatures from [00:29:57] 25 to [00:29:58] 27°C. [00:30:02] In short, changeable cloudy today [00:30:05] and tomorrow, rare showers and thunderstorms, on the [00:30:09] Adriatic, bora and jugo winds, in the interior a little colder, [00:30:13] but on the Adriatic, the heatwave continues [00:30:16] its effect. [00:30:20] The ultraviolet index is high and very [00:30:23] high, and we can expect a real change in weather only [00:30:26] in about 10 to [00:30:28] 12 days.
