[00:00:00] compared to last year, the number of hotbeds is three
[00:00:03] times higher. After the subsiding of the fire that
[00:00:07] erupted in Trebinje in the first days of August, the next hotbeds were
[00:00:11] activated in Nevesinje, Konjic,
[00:00:14] people were stranded at Neum. The fire in Konjic has been raging for a week, and currently the biggest focus is on the hotbed on Džepska
[00:00:18] mountain. The danger of the fire spreading is particularly worrying,
[00:00:21] which is favored by high temperatures and wind, while the inaccessibility of the terrain
[00:00:25] makes extinguishing difficult. Fires are still active in
[00:00:28] Brđana. Živašica, Kanjina,
[00:00:32] Džepska mountain, Džepi the fire still has a tendency
[00:00:35] to spread the spread of
[00:00:38] the fire is favored by high daily temperatures and
[00:00:41] wind blowing in that, in that
[00:00:44] area. This morning, helicopters of the armed forces of Bosnia and
[00:00:48] Herzegovina were used, which helped extinguish
[00:00:51] from the air. In the meantime, maximum efforts are being made to extinguish from
[00:00:55] the ground, adds Hondo. Help was also provided by the professional fire
[00:00:59] brigade. to Sarajevo. Given that local forces have
[00:01:03] exhausted all available human and material-technical
[00:01:06] capacities, additional
[00:01:09] fire truck tankers with crews and an
[00:01:12] off-road vehicle. The Civil Protection of Konjic reminds of the request for
[00:01:16] international assistance. However, after initial unofficial indications that
[00:01:20] two Canadairs would be approved for extinguishing, the situation with fires in
[00:01:23] Croatia complicated the situation, so the response is uncertain. In the meantime,
[00:01:27] with the engagement of new resources, members of the armed... forces of Bosnia and
[00:01:30] Herzegovina have increased support to the endangered population in the fight against fires
[00:01:34] in the areas of Konjic, Nevesinje and Bosansko Grahovo. In
[00:01:37] Nevesinje, the Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Srpska has also been engaged. A state of
[00:01:41] emergency was declared earlier, and in recent days two
[00:01:45] fires have been active.
[00:01:48] Here it came close to settlements, to villages, and we
[00:01:52] are protecting houses, and we have another fire in Zavom,
[00:01:56] up there we also have firefighters who are extinguishing with the locals.
[00:02:00] And the situation there is not easy at all, the houses are close,
[00:02:03] so we expect to be on the
[00:02:06] field all day, the biggest problem is the inaccessible terrain
[00:02:10] and that the village is close to the forest. The
[00:02:13] fire near Tomislavgrad is also not under control, and strong wind that strengthens and changes
[00:02:17] direction pushes the fire towards populated areas,
[00:02:20] confirmed by the local civil protection. While the fiery element uncontrollably
[00:02:23] destroys forests, low vegetation and valuable natural resources
[00:02:27] we discussed at throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, violent systems. for fire
[00:02:30] detection recorded in 13 days
[00:02:33] 1292
[00:02:36] Herzegovina, and the main ones are precisely these in Herzegovina. Compared
[00:02:40] to last year, there are three
[00:02:43] experts again point to urgent systemic solutions. Retired
[00:02:47] commander of the professional fire brigade of Sarajevo Canton Kemal
[00:02:50] Cacan points out that there are
[00:02:52] our colleague Adrijana Gavrić. Thank you for the most dominant is the human factor.
[00:02:56] But how to deal with these challenges when government representatives
[00:03:00] have invested very little in equipping fire departments for more than three
[00:03:03] decades. Cacan, however, cites Sarajevo Canton as a positive example. In
[00:03:07] addition, the situation is complicated by complicated and incompatible
[00:03:10] entity regulations. That fragmentation, first of all, means that
[00:03:13] it hits the very core of the problem of firefighting,
[00:03:17] where we are all as one, it is no longer all as one. You must
[00:03:21] have some procedures, requests, this, that,
[00:03:24] that is, it very, very often slows down, numbs,
[00:03:27] and... then in 2009 we got a law, in
[00:03:31] Republika Srpska it was earlier, we in the Federation got a law in 2009,
[00:03:35] the law on fire protection and firefighting, which
[00:03:38] tried to combine two segments, that is
[00:03:41] the preventive part, that is the law on fire protection and firefighting is
[00:03:45] repression, repression, that
[00:03:47] repressive part, uh, that is
[00:03:52] the Cannes Film Festival, and incompatible, I mean, it is compatible in some domains that I know of, but
[00:03:55] it is incompatible, here we are talking about what should not happen, and
[00:03:58] here it is what when... it happens, besides, there is great
[00:04:02] whom is the greatest burden in extinguishing
[00:04:05] fires, who are themselves under-capacitated, adds
[00:04:08] Cacan, because government representatives consider firefighters a cost and
[00:04:12] not an investment, with a limited budget and equipment that has not been renewed for almost half
[00:04:15] a century, firefighters give much
[00:04:19] to which they are constantly
[00:04:22] exposed, which are very often taken for
[00:04:26] granted. Tadjina Drljić, N1.
[00:04:30] 10 fires are active in Serbia. The most difficult situation is in Deliblatska
[00:04:34] Peščara, while the fire in Gornji Brestovac is under control,
[00:04:38] stated the Minister of Internal Affairs of Serbia Ivica
[00:04:41] Dačić for RTS. In the
[00:04:44] on imported drones and municipality of Bujanovac, at an emergency meeting of the local headquarters for emergency situations, a state of
[00:04:48] emergency was introduced. The fire spread from Breznica last night towards
[00:04:52] the villages of Veliki Trnovac, Lopardice and
[00:04:55] will apply. Drones and Vrtogoš, the fire also engulfed the area around the former
[00:04:58] antimony mine.
[00:05:02] Fires are still causing problems in Montenegro. Nikšić
[00:05:05] firefighters are extinguishing fires in several locations in Kuside.
[00:05:09] The fire that has been raging for the third day in Herceg Novi, and
[00:05:12] last night was not easy for either firefighters or locals,
[00:05:16] the commander of the Protection and Rescue Service Zlatko Ćirović said
[00:05:19] that the fire is active in Bijela and towards the houses in
[00:05:23] Baošići. On Thursday evening, the Directorate for
[00:05:26] Protection and Rescue of Montenegro announced that six
[00:05:30] Canadairs would be activated from early morning hours at the currently most
[00:05:33] critical fire sites in Bijela and Ulcinj, in accordance with the situation on
[00:05:36] the ground and the assessment of the competent
[00:05:38] services.
[00:05:43] Large forest fires are also raging in France and Germany, due to
[00:05:46] which thousands of people have had to leave their homes. In the French
[00:05:50] region of Landes, 525 residents were evacuated after
[00:05:53] the fire spread to about 1,100 hectares. About 500
[00:05:57] firefighters are participating in the extinguishing, with the help of six planes,
[00:06:00] and roads in that area are closed. In Germany, due to
[00:06:03] a fire approaching the village of Gy, the evacuation of about
[00:06:07] 1,800 people was ordered. Residents were directed to a reception center
[00:06:10] and firefighters are fighting the fire, which has affected about 25 hectares of
[00:06:14] forest. Europe this summer is facing one of
[00:06:17] the most active wildfire seasons with high
[00:06:20] temperatures and extremely dry
[00:06:22] conditions.
[00:06:26] After the dramatic images that arrived last night from
[00:06:29] Halkidiki, today the situation is calmer, the fire is under control.
[00:06:33] More than 140 firefighters are battling wildfires raging
[00:06:37] on both sides of the main road leading from
[00:06:40] Siviri to Kassandra, reports. A tourist
[00:06:43] guide for the Kassandra region told N1
[00:06:46] that tourists are returning to their accommodations after being
[00:06:50] evacuated yesterday. The coast guard announced that more than
[00:06:54] 300 people were evacuated by boat from
[00:06:57] Siviri.
[00:07:00] My wife and I were on Saint Nicholas beach and around 3 PM we saw
[00:07:04] fire, smoke, then we received a warning from the Greek
[00:07:07] government. Then we went from the beach to the village
[00:07:10] of Siviri. In Siviri, there was a huge, huge fire, after
[00:07:14] that the fire moved to the right side,
[00:07:17] disaster, it seemed to me that everything was under control,
[00:07:21] many were scared, but it always depends on who you are with,
[00:07:24] we are together and we are okay, you see the fire and of course you are
[00:07:27] scared, my heart broke for the people whose houses
[00:07:30] burned down.
[00:07:35] The police of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton broke up the blockade of
[00:07:39] the Uborak landfill near Mostar this morning and allowed trucks with
[00:07:42] municipal waste to enter. The landfill was blocked early this morning by representatives
[00:07:46] of the initiative "Because it concerns us", they said that they oppose the continuation
[00:07:50] of waste disposal at Uborak, which, as they stated, poses an additional
[00:07:54] risk to the residents of surrounding settlements. The police reacted
[00:07:57] due to the blockade and several people were detained. The
[00:08:01] Civil Protection Headquarters of the City of Mostar states that waste at Uborak is
[00:08:04] currently not being disposed of but is being reloaded on a regulated,
[00:08:07] monitored surface, and then transported to other landfills in Bosnia and
[00:08:11] Herzegovina. They warn that the blockade would lead to the accumulation
[00:08:15] of waste in urban areas, especially problematic in the midst
[00:08:19] of the tourist
[00:08:20] season.
[00:08:23] Federal Minister of Health Nedeljko Rimac has the status of a suspect in
[00:08:27] an investigation related to the frozen embryo affair and the operation of
[00:08:30] the controversial private clinics New Life and Northwestern Medical
[00:08:34] Center. This information was confirmed to N1 by
[00:08:37] Poskok. By order of Poskok, members of the Federal Police Administration
[00:08:41] seized Rimac's phones. His office was also searched,
[00:08:44] as well as the premises used by his advisor Ivica Ćosić. During
[00:08:48] the search, documentation, computers and electronic
[00:08:51] devices were seized, but no arrests were made. As
[00:08:55] explained to us, the case refers to the actions of federal institutions and
[00:08:58] officials when issuing permits, as well as other
[00:09:02] possible forms of their responsibility related to the operation and business
[00:09:05] of the clinic. Northwest Western Medical Center
[00:09:08] ceased operations in October last year, after which the
[00:09:12] question of the disposal of hundreds of frozen
[00:09:16] embryos and other biological
[00:09:18] material was opened.
[00:13:00] And we continue live in front of the National Theatre

[00:13:10] can you already feel that festival atmosphere, is everything ready for
[00:13:14] the start and what awaits us on the first day of the
[00:13:18] festival?
[00:13:21] Well, the festival atmosphere has been felt for
[00:13:25] several days before the festival itself, certainly
[00:13:28] tonight too, I think the report from our
[00:13:31] colleague Nataša testifies to that, but also
[00:13:35] this picture, scenes for me, people who
[00:13:39] are waiting for the Sarajevo Film Festival to open
[00:13:42] tonight, and the plan is therefore that
[00:13:46] numerous dignitaries and guests will now walk the red carpet, and
[00:13:49] the opening ceremony is planned for 8 PM. The ceremony will
[00:13:53] be hosted by Bosnian-Herzegovinian actor Kerim Čutuna, it is known

[00:16:02] from about 70 countries
[00:16:05] around the world.
[00:16:07] svijeta,
[00:16:13] Yes, Mila, thank you for this report, we can see a big
[00:16:17] crowd behind you, that there are many people interested in
[00:16:20] this festival, to see who will walk the
[00:16:24] red carpet tonight, Amila Mrkonja reported live for N1 daily news.
[00:16:28] Mrkonja,
[00:16:31] The Summit of Mayors called Sarajevo
[00:16:34] Majors Summit 2026 was held
[00:16:37] today in Sarajevo City Hall, under the motto "From Sarajevo to
[00:16:41] Future". The mayors of Zagreb, Ljubljana, Podgorica, Priština, Ankara,
[00:16:44] Istanbul, Brussels discussed key challenges and opportunities for
[00:16:48] the development of modern cities, including sustainable urban development, green and
[00:16:51] digital transition, preservation of peace and
[00:16:54] multiculturalism, strengthening regional cooperation and
[00:16:57] development of joint projects through European funds and
[00:17:00] international partnerships. Experiences were exchanged,
[00:17:04] guidelines for future cooperation were given, and the Sarajevo Declaration
[00:17:07] 2026 was signed and adopted, which
[00:17:10] emphasizes the important role of cities in building a more stable,
[00:17:13] more connected and more sustainable region.
[00:17:17] First of all, we want to have
[00:17:21] satisfied citizens, but also
[00:17:25] we must take care that they
[00:17:27] permanently live comfortably and with quality, so that they can
[00:17:31] satisfy their existential needs. That is the part that
[00:17:34] concerns urban sustainable
[00:17:37] development, of course, climate changes that absolutely
[00:17:41] do not bypass us, today we are witnessing
[00:17:44] and the mayors who had the opportunity to
[00:17:48] address, give their experiences,
[00:17:51] thoughts, and even certain recommendations on how to act in
[00:17:55] critical situations they did
[00:17:57] so.
[00:18:00] The key thing is to improve public transport, but also
[00:18:05] the summit the use of modern technologies for smart
[00:18:08] city management, specifically when it comes to traffic, that means central
[00:18:12] traffic management through automated
[00:18:16] cameras, and in the second phase through artificial intelligence. The
[00:18:19] idea is that our experiences in
[00:18:23] improving traffic should be shared with each other, because it seems to me that
[00:18:27] we have more similar problems, for example Zagreb and
[00:18:30] Sarajevo, than for example Zagreb and
[00:18:31] Amsterdam.
[00:18:37] For the European Union, of course, it is obvious that support is very important,
[00:18:41] because we believe that cities and local communities really play a very important
[00:18:44] role when it comes to integration into the European Union, so not only here
[00:18:48] in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also for some other countries, some of which have already
[00:18:51] become members of the European Union, therefore our
[00:18:55] support is really very important for this role, as
[00:18:59] it is reflected in the Sarajevo
[00:19:01] Declaration.
[00:19:07] Stay with the news, in the continuation we bring you news from
[00:19:10] the world.
[00:19:14] At least six people died in floods caused by heavy rains
[00:19:18] in Japan, traffic
[00:19:20] paralyzed.
[00:19:25] Russia rejected the idea of a ceasefire with Ukraine in the Black Sea proposed
[00:19:29] by Turkey. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman
[00:19:32] Maria Zakharova said it was a half-hearted solution and that
[00:19:36] there was no basis to allow Ukraine a respite in this way. Russia and
[00:19:40] Ukraine have been increasingly targeting ships and ports in the Black Sea in recent
[00:19:43] weeks, disrupting grain trade and leading to
[00:19:47] rising grain prices. At the same time, the Russian Foreign Minister
[00:19:50] stated that Moscow had requested an official explanation
[00:19:53] from the US for helping Ukraine target Russian
[00:19:57] territory.
[00:20:00] We sent a series of questions to the American State Department requesting
[00:20:03] comment. This includes the question of intelligence data and the fact that
[00:20:07] America is deeply involved in planning and executing attacks on
[00:20:11] civilian targets deep inside Russian territory. We are waiting for
[00:20:15] an answer.
[00:20:17] US President Donald Trump announced the introduction of 100% tariffs
[00:20:22] drone components. For allied countries such as European
[00:20:26] Union countries, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Taiwan,
[00:20:29] tariffs of 15%
[00:20:32] drone components from Great Britain will be subject to a 10%
[00:20:36] tariff, the White House announced. The American president
[00:20:39] stated that the US is too dependent on foreign companies and
[00:20:43] foreign drone components, tariffs take effect in
[00:20:46] 21 days.
[00:20:51] At least six people died in floods caused by heavy rains
[00:20:55] in Japan. Dozens of homes and roads were flooded.
[00:20:58] Heavy rain and floods left 20,000 households without
[00:21:01] electricity. About seven
[00:21:04] Tokyo airport because rail traffic was suspended.
[00:21:07] Trains have been partially running since this morning, while flights
[00:21:11] are operating normally. In eastern Japan, more than 100 mm of
[00:21:14] rain fell in just one hour on Thursday, which is a hundred liters per
[00:21:18] square meter.
[00:21:22] Rescue teams continued the search for survivors after
[00:21:25] the devastating earthquake that hit Colombia, as the death toll continues
[00:21:29] to rise. According to the latest data, 281 people lost their
[00:21:32] lives, while about 4,000 people were injured.
[00:21:36] Colombia's National Disaster Risk Management Unit
[00:21:39] warned that time was running out to find survivors
[00:21:43] as search and rescue operations continued in affected
[00:21:46] areas. Regarding material damage, 10,677
[00:21:51] houses were destroyed, more than 65,000 were damaged. Damage was
[00:21:54] also reported on about 200 roads, dozens of
[00:21:58] bridges and five
[00:21:59] airports were destroyed.
[00:22:03] We have 3,971 injured people. The number of people
[00:22:07] reported missing has unfortunately risen to
[00:22:09] 379. Our priority is to continue the search for
[00:22:13] people trapped in
[00:22:14] the rubble.

[00:29:46] brutality, which is actually real
[00:29:50] abuse, torture, how much
[00:29:52] happened that anyone
[00:29:56] received more than one hit with excessive force, two or
[00:30:00] three, I. I'm extremely
[00:30:03] sorry for that. We are live at the protest in Valjevo,
[00:30:11] other topics in the news
[00:30:13] tonight:
[00:30:19] it started to blow, it lifted everything, I barely saved the car,
[00:30:22] it shone at the last moment and the tea escaped. In the catastrophic
[00:30:26] fire in Omiš, one person died, seven
[00:30:29] have life-threatening injuries.
[00:30:36] After last night's evacuation due to the fire in Halkidiki,
[00:30:40] Serbian tourists are safe and sound, according to the consulate in
[00:30:44] Thessaloniki. A good part of the guests, at least our agency guests that I returned, first asked if
[00:30:47] we could swim.
