[00:00:00] Spain has courage, in any case, and makes
[00:00:03] very, I would say, not popular, but consistent
[00:00:07] moves, which is very unusual to see on the world stage from
[00:00:11] statesmen. Finally, former US President Biden's
[00:00:14] prostate cancer took Maha, his son, whom we have spoken
[00:00:18] about many times, mentioning that he is increasingly appearing in public, but he
[00:00:22] does not intend to get involved politically, but simply to
[00:00:25] open up more to the world and confirms that his father
[00:00:29] is sick. Yes, what Hunter revealed in one of his
[00:00:33] last interviews - it's very difficult to keep track of the number of interviews
[00:00:36] he's been doing lately - is that
[00:00:39] this prostate cancer
[00:00:42] has already metastasized, and quite severely,
[00:00:46] to the bones of the former US
[00:00:49] president, the 46th president,
[00:00:52] that the situation is quite difficult, that he is already
[00:00:56] suffering uh extremely strong pain
[00:00:59] when it comes to everything,
[00:01:01] and then when we rewind just a few days,
[00:01:05] we had the information that Biden announced the publication
[00:01:09] of a uh
[00:01:12] well, I would say autobiographical memoir book that will
[00:01:16] talk about this last campaign, presidential mandate, and everything
[00:01:20] that happened, then that points
[00:01:23] to a quite difficult situation, it seems to me that it is some kind
[00:01:27] of uh his
[00:01:30] political... but also socio-political testament.
[00:01:33] Also, Dr. Jill Biden, President Biden's wife,
[00:01:37] came out a few days ago with
[00:01:40] a detail where she says that she noticed somewhere towards the end
[00:01:44] of President Biden's term uh certain problems
[00:01:48] with urination and getting up during the night. She says, "I somehow
[00:01:51] uh associated it with his
[00:01:55] advanced age, but in the end it turned out
[00:01:58] to be prostate cancer, that there were
[00:02:02] health problems involved, maybe it could have been treated earlier
[00:02:06] if they had paid attention, but they didn't. Now,
[00:02:09] at least as I interpret Hunter's words, this
[00:02:13] is some kind of
[00:02:16] final stage of both the disease and everything else.
[00:02:20] So, uh, it's not good news for the former American
[00:02:23] thank you, please, Minela, we'll hear the rest of the news later, that's right, our
[00:02:27] viewers are advised to stay with us until then.
[00:02:38] We will quickly return to current topics and guests, friend
[00:02:42] of the show General Hospital Medicana
[00:02:44] Sarajevo.
[00:02:47] Aspirin Protect (100 mg) is recommended for individuals with
[00:02:51] high and very high risk of cardiovascular diseases, to
[00:02:55] reduce the risk of acute heart attack and stroke. Before
[00:02:58] use, carefully read the drug leaflet for both.
[00:03:12] Everything I am, I am completely
[00:03:15] me. I'm a man here, I
[00:03:18] buy here, for a jubilee celebration and well-groomed
[00:03:22] hair, until August 11, get 20 times more
[00:03:26] points by purchasing OGX hair care
[00:03:28] products. This is Amra. Amra will
[00:03:32] run the golden circle. How do
[00:03:35] we know that? Well, she's wearing a golden circle t-shirt and
[00:03:38] honestly, it suits her and looks good. And this
[00:03:41] is Afan. He's also part of the golden circle
[00:03:44] and the t-shirt looks really good
[00:03:47] on him. This is Mirela. You
[00:03:50] guessed it. She'll also run the golden circle. And
[00:03:53] our Hana is wearing a golden circle t-shirt. Hi
[00:03:56] Hana. And this is Armin. Oh,
[00:04:00] you'd say he's already ready for the start. Oh,
[00:04:03] yes. Here's Harun. But he won't
[00:04:06] run. Why? His leg hurts. Never mind, Harun
[00:04:10] will walk, because the Golden Circle is not just a charity
[00:04:13] run, it's a charity
[00:04:16] walk. And you, will you
[00:04:19] join us? By buying a t-shirt, you become part of the golden circle
[00:04:23] and support children suffering from
[00:04:25] cancer.
[00:04:34] Feel the energy of summer, catch the seasonal sale at
[00:04:38] FIZ
[00:04:38] centers.
[00:04:43] at locations, at Aspirin protect 100 mg is recommended for individuals at
[00:04:46] high and very high risk of cardiovascular diseases, to
[00:04:50] reduce the risk of acute heart attack and stroke. Before
[00:04:54] use, carefully read the drug leaflet for information on indications, precautions, and adverse effects of the drug,
[00:04:57] consult a doctor or pharmacist. Bayer.
[00:05:02] We are returning to the show New Day, friend of the show General
[00:05:06] Hospital Medikana
[00:05:08] Sarajevo.
[00:05:21] 9 o'clock and 5 minutes. We will cool down,
[00:05:24] at least visually, in the continuation. The 12th
[00:05:27] international diving competition, Bembaša Cliff Diving
[00:05:30] 2026, was held this weekend in Sarajevo.
[00:05:33] The best divers from Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad
[00:05:37] competed in spectacular dives at
[00:05:40] one of Sarajevo's most recognizable and beautiful locations.
[00:05:43] In addition to the sports part of the program, this year's event placed
[00:05:47] special focus on environmental protection and sustainable development through the project
[00:05:51] "Green Identity of Bembaša", which is implemented in cooperation
[00:05:54] with UNDP. Around 150 children and young people
[00:05:58] participate in educational workshops, promotion of sustainable
[00:06:01] mobility and other activities and promote the preservation of the natural
[00:06:05] and cultural heritage of this unique
[00:06:07] locality.
[00:06:10] This is the fourth time in Bembaš. So you liked it, so you came back, that's right, of course,
[00:06:14] and next year, God willing, I'll come to jump in front of this wonderful
[00:06:18] audience here in Sarajevo, where we always have a great atmosphere, and as
[00:06:21] he says, if the diving board was even this big, we jumped from a nice diving board
[00:06:25] in the main city, the cradle, I would say, after Mostar,
[00:06:28] maybe one of the most beautiful.
[00:06:32] When it comes to jumps, when the diver comes out on
[00:06:35] the diving board, a calm exit to
[00:06:38] concentrate on the jump, a calm flight, and
[00:06:41] entry into the water. It should be at an angle of 85 degrees, to have
[00:06:45] as much
[00:06:46] spin as possible.
[00:06:50] The 11th international waterfall diving competition was held in Jajce,
[00:06:53] confirming this city's status as one of the
[00:06:56] most attractive tourist destinations in Bosnia and
[00:06:59] Herzegovina this year. The Pliva River waterfall, located in the very heart
[00:07:03] of Jajce's historical core, once again served as a natural stage for jumps that
[00:07:07] are performed from a height of more than 20 m. First place
[00:07:10] was won by Igor Arsenić from Banja Luka, second was Danko Dangubić
[00:07:14] from Konjic, and third was Florit Gaši from Kosovo. Dives from
[00:07:18] great heights are considered among the most extreme sports disciplines
[00:07:21] today, while performances in the traditional "Swallow" style in Bosnia and
[00:07:25] Herzegovina carry a multi- century status of intangible
[00:07:28] heritage. The competitive part of the program gathered the most successful
[00:07:32] divers from the region, and divers from Croatia, Denmark, Germany,
[00:07:35] Slovenia, and
[00:07:38] Kosovo performed in the exhibition program.
[00:07:41] A unique diving board. "I'd say one of
[00:07:44] the most beautiful, simply, you can see behind us
[00:07:47] is the waterfall, we're jumping in the royal city,
[00:07:50] every time, thanks to the organizers, thanks to everyone from Jajce for the warm welcome, for having
[00:07:54] such a feeling of being
[00:07:58] at home here. In these
[00:08:01] heats where a drop
[00:08:04] of refreshment is sought, nothing can
[00:08:07] replace this waterfall. You have to come and enjoy
[00:08:10] its beauties,
[00:08:12] the difficulty.
[00:08:16] While all of Europe is battling heatwaves,
[00:08:20] with fires, here in Jajce it's fresh next to
[00:08:23] the waterfall, where the rivers Pliva and
[00:08:26] Vrbas meet, mm precisely for that
[00:08:29] reason, many tourists come to Jajce
[00:08:33] to cool off, to visit numerous cultural
[00:08:36] and historical sights, there's plenty of that
[00:08:39] in Jajce.
[00:08:42] Lake Modrac in Lukavac, as a great tourist potential, has somehow
[00:08:45] been forgotten. Therefore, the tourist
[00:08:48] board from Lukavac organized a journalistic regatta
[00:08:52] to remind the public of Modrac's significance, and on the other
[00:08:55] hand, to remind the authorities that it is time to pay more attention
[00:08:59] to that location. Modrac was a tourist attraction
[00:09:03] a few decades ago, every day this lake
[00:09:06] was bustling with guests and swimmers. Today, a completely
[00:09:09] different picture, tourists, passers-by in boats.
[00:09:12] Taxi drivers who do tours on this lake, those who come,
[00:09:16] they have something to see, they come from everywhere, especially foreigners, as far as
[00:09:20] foreigners are concerned, they come from Switzerland, from Germany,
[00:09:24] from, they stay in the hotel Senad from Bosnia
[00:09:27] and they ask us to drive them
[00:09:31] to see the lake, so we
[00:09:34] elaborate a little more, we tell stories, so
[00:09:37] about the lake and all that,
[00:09:40] a kind of story about the lake is told by the irony of the coronial group
[00:09:43] of invalids from Lukavac who explore the underwater, plant and animal
[00:09:47] world. Hmm, Modrac is usually
[00:09:51] around the dam, where there's a
[00:09:53] pretty good depth and visibility, and we often
[00:09:57] go right to the dam, and that's
[00:10:00] where we see the most big pieces of catfish,
[00:10:03] pike, carp, it's really
[00:10:06] beautiful. Of course, there are crayfish, freshwater
[00:10:09] crayfish that appear only in the purest
[00:10:13] waters, so Modrac is not
[00:10:16] as polluted as we think. Swimming and diving
[00:10:20] are not the only options for utilizing the lake, but also the possibility
[00:10:23] of practicing water sports, excursions, walks, cycling
[00:10:27] activities, all with adequate accommodation
[00:10:30] capacities. There is great interest in the region, which
[00:10:33] I can certainly confirm based on my presence at tourism
[00:10:37] fairs in the region, where people ask us about our lake and
[00:10:41] say the most beautiful things about the lake. So we
[00:10:44] somehow have our own negative perception,
[00:10:47] people from outside say very nice things about our lake,
[00:10:50] and the hardworking women from the coastal settlements also help with this,
[00:10:55] who, through their traditional cuisine and local products, present the Lukavac
[00:10:58] region in the best light. at the same time, we are promoting
[00:11:02] our beautiful Modrac lake shore
[00:11:06] and we really need to take care of preserving
[00:11:09] such areas in our canton, and throughout Bosnia and
[00:11:12] Herzegovina. In order for the lake to reach its full potential,
[00:11:16] to be more concretely utilized for tourism, the problem of the legal
[00:11:19] system that regulates the operation of the lake, i.e. the lake
[00:11:23] boundaries that are regulated in several ways, must be solved,
[00:11:27] according to local community officials. The initial
[00:11:30] level when the lake was built, the water level we
[00:11:34] have now on the ground, the water level according to Proxima 2014.
[00:11:37] year, so, the water level according to the federal law on
[00:11:41] protection of water resources, so we
[00:11:44] are simply trapped and we cannot do much,
[00:11:48] I appeal at this opportunity, a new spatial plan for the
[00:11:51] canton is being developed, must be changed.
[00:11:54] Those who have spent their lives at the lake say they do not
[00:11:58] consider it polluted. I was born here, grew up here,
[00:12:01] I live here, I ate fish, I grew up eating this
[00:12:05] fish, swimming here, so,
[00:12:08] nothing ever happened. I can say from my
[00:12:12] experience that the lake is not polluted, that
[00:12:14] something needs to be done, and work needs to be done
[00:12:18] on Lake Modrac, and the shore, and
[00:12:22] the water itself. Gradačac has started a project
[00:12:25] to clean up the estuaries of the Turija and Spreča rivers. The government of the Tuzla Canton has also worked
[00:12:29] on certain lake cleaning projects, but all together
[00:12:32] it's not enough. It is undeniable that Lake Modrac has enormous tourist
[00:12:36] potential, however, that potential is obviously not sufficiently
[00:12:39] exploited. That is what the competent institutions
[00:12:42] should work on in the coming period and finally
[00:12:45] find a way to improve the situation.
[00:12:48] Nataša Tadić N1 Modrac
[00:12:50] Lukavac.
[00:12:53] Oh. About Modrac, about rivers, about
[00:12:57] lakes, about places in Bosnia and Herzegovina where
[00:13:01] citizens are increasingly looking for a place to cool off,
[00:13:04] we will talk about that next, because in recent days, high
[00:13:08] temperatures fill those rivers and lakes and pools across
[00:13:12] the country. Many seek refuge from the heat in natural
[00:13:15] swimming areas, however, what seems like a refreshment can turn
[00:13:19] into danger in a few seconds, which is why we will be talking about
[00:13:22] the most common situations this morning. in which
[00:13:25] rescuers have to intervene, my guest this morning
[00:13:28] Senad Strukan from the GSS station Sarajevo, good morning and
[00:13:32] welcome to a new day, good morning to you, your viewers and thank you for the
[00:13:35] invitation, it looks great to see these professional
[00:13:39] divers on diving boards across Bosnia and Herzegovina, so
[00:13:42] tourist stages as we called them, here in Bendbaša,
[00:13:46] recently in Mostar, on Pliva in Jajce, so
[00:13:50] some other lakes and swimming areas
[00:13:53] are being revived, which are increasingly popular, because
[00:13:57] it seems people, due to the economic situation,
[00:14:01] but also, it seems to me, due to some need and trend to increasingly
[00:14:04] relax where temperatures are more acceptable, and they
[00:14:07] have long ceased to be at sea,
[00:14:11] they are looking for alternatives, what do you see in the
[00:14:14] field, are people flocking to lakes, to rivers,
[00:14:17] to pools, to those natural refreshments we have in Bosnia and
[00:14:21] Herzegovina? First of all, I will say that I am glad to see that more
[00:14:25] and more of our citizens are deciding to, I would say, explore
[00:14:28] the natural beauties of Bosnia and Herzegovina, because we were
[00:14:32] witnesses up until a few years ago, I would say until the corona,
[00:14:35] only during the corona did the exploration of our beauties begin,
[00:14:38] we were not aware of everything we have, now we see
[00:14:42] a trend where more and more of our citizens visit
[00:14:45] these natural beauties, in fact, they are discovering something
[00:14:49] that they absolutely did not know existed with us, and they were looking
[00:14:53] in Montenegro, so what about us?
[00:14:59] How many of those swimming areas are there, are they more safe or unsafe, and what is people's most common perception when it comes to a lake
[00:15:02] and when it comes to a river? Well, it's hard
[00:15:05] to generalize, there are safe locations, there are
[00:15:09] risky locations, potentially dangerous locations and
[00:15:12] so on, what
[00:15:16] it all depends on the individual, what kind
[00:15:19] of swimmer he is, how he manages in those locations, and the safest
[00:15:23] option is definitely public, regulated swimming areas, they should be
[00:15:27] the safest, because if it is a public regulated swimming area,
[00:15:30] there should be some lifeguards there who can react
[00:15:34] in a situation, how many such are there, which are the most popular? You are most often
[00:15:38] in Herzegovina, you say, right? Well, I am somewhat connected to
[00:15:41] that part of northern Herzegovina, I spend a lot of time there, especially on
[00:15:45] the Neretva river, right? But we have a problem that the law
[00:15:49] does not clearly define and prescribe how a public
[00:15:53] swimming area should be regulated. There are some regulations
[00:15:56] that, unfortunately, are mostly not respected. Where they are most
[00:16:00] respected are private pools, swimming areas
[00:16:04] that people, people have built, made, opened. for
[00:16:07] the public, in order to protect themselves, they simply
[00:16:11] sent a certain, so everything else is on the responsibility,
[00:16:14] more or less yes, with the fact that the risk is much
[00:16:18] lower if we swim in a public swimming area where there are many
[00:16:21] more people who can eventually react, what is that public swimming area,
[00:16:25] what is that lake? Well, for example, I would take Boračko Lake, which
[00:16:29] is a beautiful lake, for tens of hundreds of years, people
[00:16:33] use it, swim there, unfortunately, accidents
[00:16:36] happen. However, it is a beautiful swimming area
[00:16:39] in a natural environment where the danger is, I would say, minimal,
[00:16:43] if certain rules are followed again, yes,
[00:16:47] and the river, the river is specific, specific
[00:16:51] in terms of safety, I will take the Neretva river as
[00:16:53] an example again, in its course there are calm
[00:16:57] parts where the water is up to your ankles, where you can wade,
[00:17:00] let the children splash around,
[00:17:04] swim, fish, camp by the river. That is more
[00:17:08] or less harmless, in some middle course,
[00:17:11] for example, when you enter the canyon of the Neretva river, it
[00:17:15] becomes a completely wild river and here certain specific
[00:17:18] technical knowledge and
[00:17:21] skills are required that people must have in order to be able to cope there,
[00:17:25] mm, if you want to experience that part of the river, the best recommendation
[00:17:29] is rafting, mhm, where you hire professional
[00:17:33] rafting guides who take you down the river canyon
[00:17:36] and... you have the opportunity to experience something that you otherwise
[00:17:40] cannot from the road, from the highway. Many mention
[00:17:43] Trebižat and increasingly often decide to
[00:17:46] cool off in this river, what makes it specific and is it
[00:17:50] for the more experienced or for
[00:17:53] everyone? Well, to be honest, I don't have much
[00:17:56] experience with Trebižat, I visited it a couple of times and
[00:18:00] I was really impressed by its beauty, and that's probably what attracts
[00:18:03] people, its beauty which, uh...
[00:18:07] of course, the nature that surrounds the river itself and the opportunity
[00:18:11] to swim there, cool off, I think
[00:18:14] it's much, much more comfortable for staying and for
[00:18:18] that recreational option than other rivers like
[00:18:22] Neretva, Una, Tara, which are much, much faster and larger rivers.
[00:18:26] In which lakes or rivers would you not recommend
[00:18:28] swimming? Well, again, because of all the factors,
[00:18:32] generally speaking, when you take into account maybe the temperature
[00:18:36] of the water and... the current and the flow and the flora
[00:18:40] and fauna, everything sort of as a whole, it's hard
[00:18:43] to generalize again. The Neretva is a beautiful river and you can
[00:18:47] swim in that calm part, but as soon as you pass that calm part, it's
[00:18:51] no longer recommended for swimming, so
[00:18:54] there are parts, exactly, most rivers have a natural riverbed,
[00:18:58] right? There are rivers that have a regulated artificial riverbed, that's a slightly different
[00:19:01] situation, that is absolutely not recommended, but it's pointless for me to now
[00:19:04] tell people, citizens of Sarajevo, "Don't swim in it," no one
[00:19:08] swims in it anyway, so people used to swim in the Bosna, people used to
[00:19:11] swim in the Željeznica, but those are some past old times, that's
[00:19:15] no longer done, yes, more or less those
[00:19:19] rivers are polluted, Rakitnica is also a beautiful river, however,
[00:19:22] it is specific for its canyon, we are lucky,
[00:19:26] aren't we, that in Bosnia and Herzegovina we have two
[00:19:30] canyons that have entered world statistics, specifically
[00:19:34] European statistics, the canyon of the Tara River is the second
[00:19:38] longest. Or rather, the first longest, deepest canyon, the Rakitnica
[00:19:41] River, its canyon is the second longest in
[00:19:44] Europe. And also in world statistics,
[00:19:47] so we learned something this morning. Now, listening
[00:19:51] to you, I mention rivers that come to my mind,
[00:19:54] and I think that there is a lot of potential,
[00:19:58] but unfortunately we haven't regulated any of it, and that people
[00:20:02] could definitely look for and find alternatives to swimming
[00:20:06] in these hot summer days, if they were
[00:20:09] sure that children and adults were
[00:20:12] safe. Exactly, I would like our
[00:20:15] rivers and lakes not to be an alternative, but a primary choice, and the sea
[00:20:19] to be an alternative, because you can really
[00:20:23] enjoy it, it's really beautiful on those rivers,
[00:20:26] maybe I'm subjective because I spend a lot of time on the river, but I prefer
[00:20:30] to swim in the river and have that
[00:20:33] active vacation option compared
[00:20:36] to the sea. What happens on the river, unfortunately, besides enjoying
[00:20:40] the rivers, you often intervene, why
[00:20:43] most often, what do people carelessly do to
[00:20:46] put themselves in danger?
[00:20:50] Well, as in most other situations where people
[00:20:53] are in danger, very often that danger arises
[00:20:57] from underestimating the environment and overestimating their
[00:21:00] own abilities, mhm, uh, we must be
[00:21:04] aware of our abilities,
[00:21:06] we must be aware of the environment we are in, nature is something we must not
[00:21:10] underestimate in any sense, be it a mountain, be
[00:21:14] it a river or some easy picnic spot near
[00:21:17] the city, mm, all of that is...
[00:21:20] I would say something that a person who has
[00:21:23] spent most of their time in the city is not used to. What do we
[00:21:26] overestimate about ourselves?
[00:21:29] Uh, well, specifically,
[00:21:33] depending, if we focus on the river, on
[00:21:36] this aquatic
[00:21:37] biome,
[00:21:41] uhm, the quality of a swimmer, for example, how capable
[00:21:44] a swimmer we are. We think we are a good swimmer if we swim well in an
[00:21:48] Olympic pool or the sea. Which absolutely doesn't have to mean that if you
[00:21:51] find yourself in a river, a river is something that is active, something that
[00:21:55] that that carries, that's right, it carries, it has its
[00:21:59] currents, it has other obstacles and dangers, whether they are
[00:22:02] siphons, whether they are some fallen, fallen trees across
[00:22:06] its riverbed, whether it is some rock, the river changes its
[00:22:09] direction of movement, you must be ready, capable, know
[00:22:13] the minimum of hydrology to know how to cope,
[00:22:16] do swimmers enter the water suddenly?
[00:22:20] Well, it happens, yes, yes, yes, heated, so yes, it happens,
[00:22:24] especially on these hot summer days when temperatures are high, we can't
[00:22:27] wait to jump into the water, to cool down, and then
[00:22:31] there's that shock when people jump into the river, hot.
[00:22:35] How dangerous is that, actually, and how much awareness
[00:22:37] is needed that being
[00:22:40] heated or overheated, especially jumping
[00:22:44] headfirst, is not the best way to cool down? Well,
[00:22:47] somehow we were taught from a young age not to do that
[00:22:51] and I have a feeling that it's mostly done by people
[00:22:54] who grew up by the river and feel free and think that nothing
[00:22:58] can happen to them, that they are, I would say, "stronger" than
[00:23:02] the river and the biology, in fact, that happens
[00:23:05] in all of us. We might have done it many times without anything
[00:23:09] happening, but it only takes once for
[00:23:12] a swimmer to assess that the water is safe for swimming, can it be done somehow,
[00:23:16] are there any tips, any small tricks that...
[00:23:20] you professionals notice when you see a new unexplored
[00:23:24] river or a river course or a lake, what
[00:23:28] is the first thing, the first alarm not to enter
[00:23:31] the water? Uh, first, the best, most important thing
[00:23:35] is to ask a local. Okay, that's what
[00:23:39] essentially helps the most, because it's hard to judge. Sometimes a river on the surface
[00:23:42] looks calm, but when you enter it, the current is so strong that you can't
[00:23:46] stand on your feet, it doesn't matter.
[00:23:50] 20, 30 cm of water, sometimes that can
[00:23:52] sweep you away,
[00:23:55] so the safest option is to ask a local where to look, where many
[00:23:58] people are swimming, it's safe there. Now,
[00:24:01] to focus on some expert
[00:24:05] assessments of the terrain, I think that's a bit too much, people don't
[00:24:09] know that, that's right, after heavy rainfall experts advise against
[00:24:12] swimming, why is that
[00:24:15] so? Well, because of the heavy
[00:24:18] rainfall, mm, the water
[00:24:22] level rises, the river level rises, that's the main reason, that's, I would say,
[00:24:25] the main reason, as soon as the water level rises, it gains speed,
[00:24:29] strength, even changes the configuration of the terrain, its course,
[00:24:32] so it doesn't necessarily mean that if you swam there the day before, the same
[00:24:36] current will be there after the rain, mhm, alcohol and swimming, why are they not a good
[00:24:40] combination? That's a topic in itself, that
[00:24:44] alcohol is really a problem on rivers, generally in
[00:24:47] nature, people like to relax with a shot of brandy,
[00:24:51] beer, however, that is mm bad, especially on these
[00:24:55] hot summer days, mm, alcohol
[00:24:59] accelerates, right, circulation in our body.
[00:25:02] That's where these cases usually happen that you asked me about earlier,
[00:25:06] when we jump hot into the water, that's it, I would say,
[00:25:09] promotes these mm unfortunate accidents
[00:25:13] because of the effect of alcohol on our
[00:25:16] body. In addition to that,
[00:25:20] "people in a tipsy or drunken state don't recognize what is
[00:25:23] good, what is bad, logic turns off at every
[00:25:26] moment, unfortunately, we
[00:25:29] were witnesses recently
[00:25:33] places, activities where there shouldn't be alcohol, such as
[00:25:36] rafting, that people had
[00:25:39] a habit of bringing a beer or a crate,
[00:25:43] unfortunately, on the boat, that risky situations
[00:25:47] happen, I would like to take this
[00:25:51] opportunity, given that there was an unfortunate accident this year on
[00:25:53] rafting, mm, to draw
[00:25:56] attention first to the providers of
[00:26:00] those services, then also to people who want to
[00:26:04] go rafting to pay attention to a few things,
[00:26:07] first and foremost is that rafting guides
[00:26:11] must be licensed, trained people, that
[00:26:14] some self-taught rafting guides or skippers, as
[00:26:18] it is popularly called, should not be used, so the education of rafting
[00:26:21] guides in the segment of boat management in the segment
[00:26:24] of rescue, secondly to invest in equipment, so
[00:26:28] these agencies providing rafting services must invest in safety
[00:26:31] certificates, homologated
[00:26:34] equipment that meets that requirement, and thirdly, to
[00:26:38] respect safety rules, specifically, to avoid alcohol,
[00:26:42] not to avoid it, but not to consume it at all,
[00:26:45] and to mm listen
[00:26:49] to the instructions of an experienced rafting guide, not to
[00:26:53] underestimate the nature of the environment in which you are, what
[00:26:56] parents most often misjudge when children are in
[00:27:00] the water, whether gloves, a lifebuoy and other props are
[00:27:03] sufficient protection for non- swimming children, well, again,
[00:27:07] it depends on the environment in which you are, the child's age
[00:27:10] and so on, mm, what is
[00:27:14] important, for parents to note, if you are at
[00:27:17] some, whether it is a public swimming area with regulated
[00:27:20] safety rules, lifeguards, or it is, for example, rafting,
[00:27:24] where there is a rafting guide who is trained for
[00:27:27] rescue situations, mm, I mean, it's logical,
[00:27:31] a parent acts instinctively. reacts in a situation when
[00:27:34] a child is in danger, when he is in
[00:27:37] danger, what is important to emphasize is that
[00:27:41] a parent must still keep a cool head and let the professional do the
[00:27:45] job, if the child accidentally fell into fast water,
[00:27:48] that rafting guide will surely react in the best way
[00:27:51] he can in that situation, so as not to endanger himself and
[00:27:54] other participants in that rafting, to help that
[00:27:58] child and any other person who is
[00:28:02] unrelated... Rafting, here, swimming area, lakes, rivers, when
[00:28:05] we see a person drowning, what is
[00:28:08] the right thing to do and what should never be done? The most
[00:28:12] important thing is not to endanger yourself, you must
[00:28:14] include some healthy logic at that moment
[00:28:17] and try to help in the safest way for you, whether it is to
[00:28:21] throw some piece of floating
[00:28:24] equipment, whether it is to throw some piece of rope, I
[00:28:27] was a witness to a situation where
[00:28:31] a taxi driver... "stopped on the side, went
[00:28:34] into the post office, pulled out a fire hydrant and threw the hose from the hydrant into
[00:28:38] the river, where the man who was in the riverbed, couldn't
[00:28:42] get out, grabbed that hydrant hose, very, very
[00:28:45] creatively, creative thinking at that moment is what is expected
[00:28:49] from people, so they try to help in a way that doesn't endanger
[00:28:52] themselves, because very often it happens that when we try to help someone, that other
[00:28:56] person out of ignorance, out of a feeling of panic, actually tries
[00:29:00] in every way to save themselves. not
[00:29:03] thinking that they might endanger us too. So people in situations
[00:29:07] when they are choking absolutely irrationally and
[00:29:10] illogically think, so
[00:29:13] that uh any kind of help if we
[00:29:17] endanger ourselves and enter that so-called hot zone as we
[00:29:20] professionally call it, uh potentially carries
[00:29:23] danger for you, so it's better to
[00:29:27] use this somewhat wirelessly if and how it can, yes it's at
[00:29:30] a distance, for the end three recommendations to citizens who will, or
[00:29:34] are thinking of seeking refreshment at some public swimming areas or
[00:29:38] rivers, lakes that are not so public, but are
[00:29:41] beautiful and attractive for swimming, what would you
[00:29:44] tell them, definitely
[00:29:48] that they should seek such swimming areas, there are many of them
[00:29:51] and the weather is very nice, you can spend quality time there, but again
[00:29:54] I say, m, don't risk it, if you are not sure, don't
[00:29:58] take risks, ask someone who has been spending some
[00:30:02] time there, ask the locals, that's
[00:30:06] it, that's one recommendation, ask the locals, two more, two more,
[00:30:09] well, don't get into risky situations, if you are not
[00:30:13] sure, it's simple, I mean, just assess yourself and the environment, that's
[00:30:16] right, that's right, and third, avoid
[00:30:19] alcohol, avoid alcohol, so, our goal is not
[00:30:23] somehow to tell people to avoid nature
[00:30:26] and swimming, but simply, here, to remind them of a few very simple
[00:30:30] rules that can save a life if you
[00:30:34] actually put yourself in that situation, Senad, thank you very much for these recommendations and
[00:30:38] I hope for more swimming and enjoyment and less work
[00:30:41] and rescue, thank you very much, stay with
[00:30:44] us, a short break, then we return to the topics,
[00:30:58] we will talk more about temperatures until the end.
