[00:07:20] A short-term cool down is coming. Details about the weather are from Sara
[00:07:24] Botić. Tonight, a change in weather arrives in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
[00:07:28] more clouds, rain, thunderstorms, and from
[00:07:31] tomorrow, a short-term cool down. However, from Wednesday, it will be
[00:07:35] warmer again. A weakened cold front is approaching our area, which
[00:07:39] will bring more clouds and precipitation during the night. After the front
[00:07:43] passes, stabilization will follow, and temperatures will
[00:07:46] rise again. On Tuesday, most of the morning in
[00:07:49] Bosnia will be moderately to mostly cloudy with rain, local thunderstorms,
[00:07:53] and then during the day, a decrease in
[00:07:56] cloudiness and cessation of precipitation is expected. In Herzegovina,
[00:08:00] it will be sunny in the morning, and then in the afternoon,
[00:08:03] local showers are expected. A light to moderate northeasterly
[00:08:06] wind will blow. Morning temperatures in Bosnia will be from 14 to
[00:08:10] 19, in the south in Herzegovina up to 20
[00:08:12] to 23 degrees, while the highest daily temperature will be from
[00:08:16] 26 to 30, in the south up to
[00:08:18] 34. From Wednesday, it will be sunny and
[00:08:21] warmer, with temperatures up to 33 on Wednesday, and up to 35 in the south.
[00:08:25] From Friday, very warm, with maximum temperatures
[00:08:29] locally close to 40 degrees. So, a short
[00:08:32] cool down only on Tuesday, then summer weather again,
[00:08:35] a new rise
[00:08:36] in temperature.
[00:08:39] That's all for the news. More news can be found on N1.info.ba. Thank you

[00:09:22] Forbes. Geoscientists discovered a magma cap underneath Yellowstone National
[00:09:26] Park, revealing new clues to the state of one of the world's largest active
[00:09:30] volcanic systems. Researchers from Rice and several other
[00:09:34] universities made the discovery by using an advanced seismic imaging
[00:09:37] truck to create custom tiny earthquakes, locating the cap
[00:09:41] approximately miles below earth's
[00:09:44] surface. The magma cap acts like a lid, trapping heat and
[00:09:48] pressure and plays a vital role in preventing major
[00:09:51] eruptions. The geoscientists discovered the gas is
[00:09:54] consistently venting through cracks and channels in the cap, much like steady
[00:09:58] breathing. This natural pressure release process indicates that the
[00:10:01] system remains stable. This discovery gives us a deeper
[00:10:05] understanding of Yellowstone's underground system and highlights just how
[00:10:08] important it is to keep monitoring
[00:14:11] Kushner is trying to make progress in Middle East peace talks, the European
[00:14:15] Union announces new sanctions
[00:14:18] against Russia, the new British prime minister has found himself in his first major
[00:14:22] scandal. Welcome to Global.
[00:14:29] US envoy to the Middle East, Jared Kushner, arrived in Israel where
[00:14:32] he is meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The visit
[00:14:35] comes after direct talks between Kushner and Hamas in
[00:14:38] Egypt on the implementation of the American peace plan for Gaza. Trump's
[00:14:42] peace committee previously announced that an agreement had been reached on the complete
[00:14:45] disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups. Israel, however,
[00:14:48] rejected the plan which envisions the withdrawal of their army and
[00:14:52] the reconstruction of Gaza and the establishment of a new Palestinian civilian
[00:14:56] administration. That decision was condemned by eight Muslim and
[00:14:59] Arab countries. Hamas is now asking intermediaries to pressure
[00:15:03] Ezena to accept the next steps, while
[00:15:05] Netanyahu is simultaneously facing pressure from the right wing of his
[00:15:09] coalition before the elections in October. The talks are
[00:15:12] focused on the disarmament of Hamas, the withdrawal of Israeli forces,
[00:15:15] and the future governance of
[00:15:17] Gaza.
[00:15:25] Jared Kushner is here to try to push forward that stalled agreement, holding
[00:15:28] meetings in Egypt and Israel to see if it's possible to make
[00:15:32] progress here, but he's walking into incredibly difficult
[00:15:35] diplomatic situation. On
[00:15:37] Sunday, Kushner held meetings with Hamas's new leader Khalil Alhaya, who was
[00:15:41] also the chief negotiator at the time of the previous ceasefire
[00:15:45] agreement back in October. He also met with Egyptian President
[00:15:48] Abdul. He is a key mediator between
[00:15:52] Israel and Hamas and was one of the key elements in getting that previous
[00:15:55] agreement. On Monday, he'll meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The real
[00:15:59] question here is, is it possible to make any progress here?
[00:16:02] Hamas has, from their perspective, made clear their
[00:16:05] position. They have agreed to disarm,
[00:16:08] but they refuse to begin that process until there's the deployment of
[00:16:11] international security force to Gaza to take over security and
[00:16:15] Israel starts withdrawing from the more than half of Gaza that it
[00:16:18] occupies. Until then, Hamas has made clear they're not moving forward
[00:16:22] on disarmament, except that
[00:16:26] any real way that's deployable to Gaza, and Israel has made
[00:16:29] clear they have no intention of withdrawing at all from the territory they
[00:16:32] occupy in Gaza until Hamas fully disarms.
[00:16:36] Something Israel is... will actually happen, and that
[00:16:40] is the situation Kushner walks into in which he's trying to see if it's
[00:16:43] possible to move forward with the agreement. He also has with
[00:16:47] him Board of Peace Director General Nikolai Mladinov who has
[00:16:51] met with the parties before, but these
[00:16:54] difficulties here have existed and continue to exist
[00:16:57] as Kushner and Mladinov will try to push forward these
[00:17:01] agreements. Meanwhile, the mediating countries as well
[00:17:04] as several other Arab and Muslim states put out a joint statement condemning
[00:17:08] Israel for its
[00:17:10] the Trump-brokered 15-point agreement that's supposed to move
[00:17:14] forward to ceasefire in Gaza. In a joint statement they said such rejection
[00:17:18] confirms that Israel now bears responsibility for obstructing the
[00:17:23] the occupied Palestinian territory. We'll see if
[00:17:26] that statement influences Kushner's thinking at all and the amount of pressure that he's willing to
[00:17:29] put on Israel to try to make progress here in what is and
[00:17:33] has been an incredibly difficult situation to try to manage
[00:17:37] and to try to make progress on. Orin Lieberman, CNN,
[00:17:40] in
[00:17:47] Jerusalem. US President Trump ordered the Pentagon to reduce the scope of annual
[00:17:51] joint military exercises with South Korea, stating that Seoul did not
[00:17:54] want to help in the war against Iran, but also emphasized his
[00:17:58] good relations with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
[00:18:01] Trump announced on social media that the exercises, which began on Monday,
[00:18:05] are not only expensive, but also send a
[00:18:07] completely inappropriate and hostile signal to North Korea. He added that
[00:18:11] Pyongyang, during his term, was not a threat
[00:18:14] and showed
[00:18:15] respect.
[00:18:22] During the night, Ukraine launched one of the largest attacks on Russia, with, according to
[00:18:26] Russian authorities, more than 800 drones participating.
[00:18:30] The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that 822 drones were destroyed
[00:18:32] during the night. According to their claims, as many as 600 of them were
[00:18:36] aimed at Moscow. Among the affected facilities was
[00:18:40] the Wildberries warehouse in Podolsk, in the Podolsk area in
[00:18:44] the Moscow region. It is allegedly the largest logistics facility of that
[00:18:47] company. Six people died in the attacks,
[00:18:51] four were injured in the Russian and Belgorod regions. Well, one can
[00:18:54] say so, given that for months now, or even since last year, the front has quite
[00:18:58] stabilized, so neither
[00:19:02] side, as military analysts say, has
[00:19:05] a great chance to make some breakthrough, but
[00:19:08] rather possibly a few hundred square kilometers of territory for one or
[00:19:12] the other side, but this is now a war of attrition, especially
[00:19:15] now attrition for the Russian side, because, as we can
[00:19:19] see, from this year, and some last year, that
[00:19:22] Ukraine, as we can see every
[00:19:25] day, attacks deep within Russian territory very
[00:19:29] important strategic economic
[00:19:32] targets. Russia has done that so far, but Ukraine, with the development of
[00:19:36] drones and missiles, and their new company
[00:19:39] Firepoint, is succeeding and it seems will succeed more and more in the future.
[00:19:43] So, that's a Ukrainian company that was founded in 2022
[00:19:47] that develops and produces drones
[00:19:50] and missiles. Now they announced for this autumn that a new
[00:19:53] missile will arrive that Ukraine will be able to use
[00:19:57] against Russia, so a ballistic missile. Russia is still at
[00:20:00] an advantage in that regard, but Ukraine seems to be
[00:20:03] catching up. Well, Ukraine is, indeed, that eternal story
[00:20:06] of corruption. "Ukraine is one of the most corrupt European countries, not only
[00:20:10] in this war, of course, but it was earlier, Russia is
[00:20:14] even worse in that regard, but if we analyze the corruption
[00:20:17] perception index in Ukraine in
[00:20:21] the last thirty-something years, it is one of the worst
[00:20:24] in Europe and there were certain struggles of the Ukrainian
[00:20:27] authorities before Zelensky to suppress it, even for example
[00:20:31] the former Georgian president Saakashvili was appointed
[00:20:35] by President Poroshenko as..." governor of the
[00:20:38] Odessa region. Saakashvili, by the way, speaks Ukrainian because he studied in
[00:20:42] Kyiv, but why was he appointed? So that he would bring in a completely outside person,
[00:20:46] a foreigner who had nothing to do with Odessa and the region so that he would not be involved
[00:20:50] in local corruption networks. It didn't work, of course, but it can be seen that
[00:20:54] this arrest in the last few months within
[00:20:57] President Zelensky's own circle shows that certain
[00:21:01] services are doing their job in Ukraine. Now, how successful
[00:21:04] the fight against corruption will be, that remains to be seen. On the one
[00:21:07] hand, one should take into account that this is something
[00:21:11] that happens in other countries, of course. What is specific now is that it is a state of war,
[00:21:14] so it is more sensitive on the one hand. On the other hand, there was
[00:21:18] a conflict between the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff, or rather the Commander-in-Chief
[00:21:21] of the armed
[00:21:24] forces, which led to a reshuffle this summer
[00:21:27] within the top defense sector. However,
[00:21:30] Zelensky still enjoys considerable popularity. For example, his
[00:21:34] approval rating among citizens is over
[00:21:37] 60%, approximately, and when the
[00:21:40] results of public opinion polls are shown, asking who you would
[00:21:44] vote for at this moment if there were presidential elections, he still gets
[00:21:47] 31-32%, which is double the next
[00:21:51] in line. So, he is not absolutely popular
[00:21:54] in the sense that, as in dictatorships, you have
[00:21:58] 70, 80, 90% support,
[00:22:01] but he is still the most popular Ukrainian politician at the moment, and his position is quite
[00:22:05] strong
[00:22:06] there.
[00:22:12] The European Union is preparing a new, its most ambitious package of sanctions against
[00:22:16] Russia to date. The High Representative for Foreign Policy announced that
[00:22:20] new measures should be presented in the autumn, and their
[00:22:23] implementation would increase the number of sanctioned Russian
[00:22:27] individuals and entities by as much as a third. Kalas states that the sanctions are already
[00:22:30] severely affecting the Russian economy and that so far they have deprived Moscow's war machine
[00:22:34] of more than a billion euros. The new package
[00:22:37] should further increase pressure on Moscow, but the details
[00:22:40] are not yet known. Kalas did not reveal the exact date of its
[00:22:44] presentation. The Union states that it will not back down until Russia stops
[00:22:47] the war against Ukraine. New pressure comes after Brussels has already
[00:22:51] adopted 21 packages of sanctions covering the Russian
[00:22:55] energy, financial sector, cryptocurrencies,
[00:22:58] military industry, and the so-called shadow fleet.
[00:23:00] The new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham
[00:23:07] has had his first scandal.
[00:23:10] According to Politico, Burnham exchanged messages with a person who was
[00:23:14] impersonating President Trump's chief of staff,
[00:23:18] Suzy Wiles. According to Politico, Burnham exchanged
[00:23:22] only a few messages before suspecting that the contact was not
[00:23:25] authentic. Sources state that there was no phone call or
[00:23:28] exchange of significant or sensitive information, and the case was quickly
[00:23:32] reported to the authorities. Downing Street declined to comment on
[00:23:36] the incident, stating that they do not discuss matters of national
[00:23:39] security.
[00:23:46] And that would be all for this edition of Global. The latest world news, as
[00:23:50] always, can be found on our web portals and social networks.
[00:23:54] Goodbye until tomorrow.
[00:24:48] So this documentary follows the story of Nikola,
[00:24:51] who is a farmer who is facing the perils of a
[00:24:55] struggling economy in North Macedonia. How
[00:24:58] did you come about in finding Nikola and what
[00:25:02] stood out to you about him that made you want to make this
[00:25:05] documentary?
[00:25:08] This documentary was primarily inspired by the white
[00:25:11] storks. So I started with the idea of following the white
[00:25:15] storks, changing their um food and migrational
[00:25:19] patterns. And starting to eat from landfills,
[00:25:24] them were staying in the country, they stopped migrating and they were dying out in
[00:25:28] the landfills. So for me it was interesting to
[00:25:32] explore the the diversity between how they used to feed,
[00:25:35] which is following the farmers and eating from their land, and how
[00:25:39] they feed now from the landfills. And by following
[00:25:43] them on the on the lands where the farmers were working, that's where I
[00:25:46] met Nikola and his family together with many others.
[00:26:02] away from camera and they were just really cinematic
[00:26:05] characters, so that's why I decided to work with them.
[00:26:09] No, that they really uh became sort
[00:26:12] of mesmerizing to watch as a family, just as
[00:26:15] mesmerizing uh were the storks there, and it's
[00:26:19] interesting to hear that that was what initially drew you to tell
[00:26:22] the story, and then you happened to come
[00:26:26] the human voice for the tale of what happens when an
[00:26:30] economy turns south, and you see these storks
[00:26:33] going from life where they were feeding off of fresh fruits and vegetables to then
[00:26:37] feeding off of any remnants and garbage in a
[00:26:40] landfill. It's also based on
[00:26:43] a story that, a childhood folktale
[00:26:46] that you grew up loving, thus the name "Silion." Tell us
[00:26:50] a little bit about that.
[00:26:54] The tale of Silion is the very first tale I got to
[00:26:57] hear from my farming grandparents. I grew
[00:27:01] up also with storks around me when I was a child, um
[00:27:05] on the fields in the countryside with my
[00:27:07] grandparents, so it was a very popular tale
[00:27:11] and it in a way shaped my love
[00:27:15] for animals, and the white storks have been my
[00:27:18] favorite animal since forever, but I just
[00:27:21] never thought about using this tale until very
[00:27:25] late in this film when uh
[00:27:28] when actually Nikola found this stork and they started a
[00:27:31] really strong bond which reminded me of this tale? Yeah, they
[00:27:35] started a strong bond after his family, his wife, his
[00:27:39] daughter, his son-in-law and their young daughter moved
[00:27:43] to Germany to find more permanent and stable work, and
[00:27:47] Nicola was left struggling uh, not only with the farm, but
[00:27:50] also how to maintain um providing resources
[00:27:54] and finances uh for
[00:27:56] the family. Um, let's just play a clip from the
[00:28:00] film as he's developed this
[00:29:03] to to in relates to maintaining his
[00:29:05] farmland.
[00:29:08] Uh well, because the the
[00:29:11] farmers were facing a very serious crisis in
[00:29:14] Macedonia and this is happening for for ages
[00:29:20] them are forced to migrate, so we have one of the
[00:29:23] strongest waves of economical migration, and
[00:29:26] many of them are forced to sell their
[00:29:29] lands, one of which is Nicola where... is
[00:29:32] facing the uh the the internal conflict
[00:29:36] because he doesn't want to give up on this way of life, he loves this way of
[00:29:40] life, but in in the same time he has to find a way
[00:29:43] to support his family, and he has to
[00:29:47] find another job for himself to be
[00:29:49] financially stable, and majority of these
[00:29:53] farmers paradoxically end up on the landfills
[00:29:56] because they are in a critical age where they can't find a new
[00:30:00] profession, new job, but they also can't do the old ones, so
[00:30:03] usually they're taking these really um
[00:30:07] low-paying jobs on the landfills or cleaners or
[00:30:10] things like this. So he ends up being um working on the
[00:30:13] landfill, but he still doesn't want to give up from his
[00:30:16] land, and then you see that stork really keeping
[00:30:20] him company and uh keeping him grounded as well, giving him another
[00:30:24] mission to help restore the stork back to um back
[00:30:27] to health. Watching the documentary, I have to say, Tamara,
[00:30:31] it feels like you're watching a... feature film. Even the producers, as we were talking
[00:30:35] about this film um in our morning meeting, we said we
[00:30:39] couldn't determine whether is this really a documentary, are these
[00:30:41] actors? And you yourself have previously noted that there's
[00:30:45] been a certain rejection of traditional documentary
[00:30:48] filmmaking amongst your peers. So why did you decide to approach
[00:30:52] this documentary from this
[00:30:54] lens?
[00:30:58] Um, well...
