[00:00:01] We saw that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo, Glauk
[00:00:05] Konjufca, from the Self-Determination movement,
[00:00:08] attended the trial. He had
[00:00:12] announced it earlier. By the way, Rexhep Selimi, one of
[00:00:15] the convicted, is from the Self-Determination movement, while
[00:00:18] three others, Veseli, Krasniqi and Thaci,
[00:00:21] are from the Democratic Party of Kosovo. In addition to the current Minister of Foreign
[00:00:25] Affairs, I could also see the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of
[00:00:28] Kosovo, Petrit Selimi, from the Democratic
[00:00:32] Party of Kosovo, but
[00:00:34] also some
[00:00:38] representatives of civil society from Pristina
[00:00:41] were present. I also spoke with the director of the Fund for
[00:00:44] Humanitarian Law from Belgrade, who is
[00:00:48] present here, on her own initiative, given that a
[00:00:52] group of civil society activists from Belgrade and from the North of Kosovo
[00:00:56] had an organized visit to the specialized chambers,
[00:01:00] however, it was canceled at the last minute,
[00:01:03] given that they were told that they could not
[00:01:06] guarantee their safety here in The Hague. I also asked
[00:01:10] the specialized chambers of Kosovo, they did not explicitly
[00:01:14] confirm this to the media, but they say that they are doing everything in their
[00:01:17] power to ensure safety. By the way, an
[00:01:21] assessment by Jasmina Lazović, director of the Fund for Humanitarian Law
[00:01:25] in Belgrade, is that the verdict certainly cannot
[00:01:27] provide all the answers, but...
[00:01:30] it is very important in this context and
[00:01:33] she said that it is important that the part of the indictment related to
[00:01:37] the joint criminal
[00:01:40] enterprise was confirmed.
[00:01:45] Thank you, Sanja, she was live from The Hague, Sanja Soverlić.
[00:02:00] Citizens in Pristina are mostly dissatisfied with the verdict against the former
[00:02:04] president Hashim Thaçi, and Prime Minister Albin Kurti
[00:02:07] says, "The verdict in The Hague does not represent the will
[00:02:10] of the people."
[00:02:13] I believe this is an injustice, that it is more of a political decision, they are
[00:02:17] innocent. We are shocked, in a word, because we expected
[00:02:21] an acquittal for the main leaders of the KLA. With this verdict of the special
[00:02:25] court, the KLA was almost declared a terrorist organization.
[00:02:28] There is nothing else, this is...
[00:02:35] Of course, I didn't expect this and neither did anyone else. What can I say, what
[00:02:39] else can I say, I have nothing, I didn't
[00:02:41] forces to the area. expect such an outcome, I am
[00:02:43] disappointed.
[00:02:46] The conviction and such a heavy sentence for the four former KLA
[00:02:50] leaders represent an unacceptable injustice, a great and
[00:02:53] harmful punishment. This verdict may have been formally pronounced in the name of the people
[00:02:57] of Kosovo, but this empty formulation should not be confused
[00:03:01] with the will of the people. This verdict must certainly be changed and corrected
[00:03:04] in the appeal process as soon as possible. In these
[00:03:08] difficult moments, we stand with the families of the former KLA leaders and all their comrades-in-arms
[00:03:11] who fought for
[00:03:15] liberation. We are also following the situation in the north of Kosovo, in areas with a
[00:03:19] majority Serb population, it was peaceful during the day.
[00:03:22] How is it now, we are checking with Nenad
[00:03:25] Božović. Nenad, you were in
[00:03:28] Mitrovica now. in Leposavić, what
[00:03:32] are the reactions after the verdicts in
[00:03:34] The Hague?
[00:03:38] Well, we have been in the north of Kosovo since this morning, we have not
[00:03:41] noticed that there is an increased police
[00:03:45] presence, I mean at least not with long barrels, we have seen that there are
[00:03:48] increased patrols on the main road that
[00:03:52] leads from the border with Serbia to
[00:03:55] North Mitrovica, but it is mostly about
[00:03:58] traffic patrol. But what we
[00:04:01] could not hear from the population here in the north
[00:04:05] of Kosovo, which is mostly Serb population, is what their
[00:04:08] reactions are to the
[00:04:12] sentencing of the four former KLA commanders. The trial was watched and
[00:04:16] followed, although it was not
[00:04:19] as organized as in the southern part. They followed it
[00:04:25] Dalmatia. We expect the least precipitation in in cafes and in their homes, but they were somewhat reserved when we tried to get their
[00:04:28] answer to what they thought about it. They mostly told us
[00:04:32] that they were not interested and that they had nothing to comment on.
[00:04:36] However, it would seem that fear
[00:04:39] is most likely hidden behind that, because
[00:04:42] any comment could lead to some consequences in the future, that is
[00:04:46] what they are afraid of. For several years now, they have been talking
[00:04:50] about how everything
[00:04:52] that they previously advocated
[00:04:55] and fought for has actually disappeared, that they simply no longer
[00:04:59] even have the support of Serbia
[00:05:02] as they once had. What particularly frightened them
[00:05:06] is the information that appeared yesterday that today in
[00:05:09] Gračanica there would be online classes, that... "in
[00:05:13] a place near Leposavić where we are now located, called Lešak, yesterday
[00:05:17] a children's play was canceled, the police did not allow it to be
[00:05:20] held, although no reasons were given, somehow
[00:05:23] information appeared that it could be precisely because of today and
[00:05:27] the sentencing. Today we also
[00:05:30] spoke with the first man of the police in
[00:05:33] the north of Kosovo, Veton Elshani, so let's hear what he said
[00:05:37] about the security situation in the north of Kosovo. We
[00:05:41] have an operational plan for the entire north of Kosovo, as well as for the
[00:05:45] northern part, specifically, and there is
[00:05:48] nothing special to highlight from that, but everything is fine. Is
[00:05:51] there a security risk at this moment? No, for now there is no
[00:05:54] security risk, but that's why we are here, if it comes
[00:05:58] to that we need to react, we are here, so far everything is
[00:06:01] calm.
[00:06:05] By the way, at 4 p.m.
[00:06:09] a gathering started in the center of South Mitrovica and... Also,
[00:06:12] this is being followed with impatience because information appeared
[00:06:16] that perhaps the demonstrators could reach the bridge that
[00:06:19] separates the northern and southern parts, however, we have no information that
[00:06:23] this happened. There was also a gathering this morning in the square in South Mitrovica,
[00:06:26] but the columns did not move
[00:06:30] towards the north, that is, towards the part where Serbs live. So, at
[00:06:34] this moment, we can say that the north of Kosovo
[00:06:36] is calm.
[00:06:39] Nenad, thank you, live yet.
[00:06:42] This was Nenad Božović.
[00:07:01] SDP MP, Ivana Marković, launched a
[00:07:05] joint parliamentary initiative for the reorganization
[00:07:08] of emergency medical care on the islands. The reason is the case
[00:07:11] of a 38-year-old woman who collapsed in front of the locked
[00:07:15] doors of the emergency room in Supetar because the only team was
[00:07:18] on an intervention. From the government and the Ministry of Health, she demands
[00:07:22] a comprehensive solution that would ensure that island residents
[00:07:26] in life-threatening situations have equal access to emergency
[00:07:29] care as citizens on the mainland. She invited all
[00:07:32] MPs to sign the initiative regardless of party
[00:07:36] affiliation.
[00:07:39] It's about us asking for a special standard to be introduced
[00:07:42] for the organization of emergency medical services for
[00:07:46] broj stanovnika, udaljenost od kopna i prometnu
[00:07:49] povezanost, da se osigura da naseljeni otoci
[00:07:53] ostanu bez operativne hitne medicinske službe u slučaju
[00:07:56] kada taj tim koji je na raspolaganju na tom području
[00:08:00] izađe vani, da se osigura dovoljan broj
[00:08:03] zdravstvenih djelatnika i timova tokom cijele
[00:08:06] The Ministry of Health requested
[00:08:09] a statement, and the relevant minister Irena Hrstić says that... after
[00:08:12] the statement, she will decide whether to conduct a health inspection or if
[00:08:16] the problem is in the organization of the service. Let us remind you, the patient
[00:08:19] was transported in critical condition to KBC Split, where she is
[00:08:23] in the intensive care unit.
[00:08:26] From the Ministry of Health, we requested a statement from the field and
[00:08:29] when we receive it, we will assess whether it is necessary
[00:08:32] to conduct a health inspection as such or if it is
[00:08:36] simply an open question of organizational
[00:08:39] possibilities.
[00:08:44] Another court ruling against KBC Rijeka due to employee
[00:08:47] dismissals. The court provisionally ruled that the dismissal
[00:08:51] of Predovan was inadmissible. There are a total
[00:08:53] of five such rulings now, two are legally binding. Dismissals
[00:08:57] were given while the hospital was managed by today's Minister of Labor,
[00:09:01] Alen Ružić. He states that he has no problem with reviewing his
[00:09:05] decisions, and the union demands financial criminal
[00:09:07] liability. Predovan's dismissal was
[00:09:11] inadmissible. The Rijeka Municipal Court ruled so.
[00:09:15] This is the latest in a series of decisions in favor of employees, but it is still
[00:09:19] not legally binding. Predovan was dismissed during the mandate
[00:09:22] of the then director, and today's Minister of Labor, Alen
[00:09:26] Ružić. If there is any doubt about anyone's
[00:09:29] decisions, including my decisions when I was director, then
[00:09:33] let the system
[00:09:35] review it. It is no problem. I do not
[00:09:39] think I have any personal responsibility. "in
[00:09:43] that sense of personal responsibility, because
[00:09:46] I acted responsibly at all times,
[00:09:49] protecting, at that moment, according to the facts I had,
[00:09:52] protecting the truth, protecting the interest
[00:09:56] of the institution. A total of five dismissals were declared
[00:09:58] inadmissible, two of the rulings, those in the cases of
[00:10:02] Slemenšek and Belac Lovasić, are legally binding. In a comprehensive
[00:10:05] response, KBC Rijeka did not answer our question
[00:10:09] about how much the labor disputes have cost them so far."
[00:10:13] they reiterate. Due to the found unused, particularly
[00:10:16] expensive medicines worth more than one million euros that perished, which
[00:10:20] after being found could not be used for the treatment
[00:10:23] of oncology patients. At the then clinic for radiotherapy and
[00:10:27] oncology, the management of KBC Rijeka had no choice but to
[00:10:30] ignore the existing situation and the damage caused to
[00:10:33] patients and the state budget, and was forced
[00:10:36] to make decisions regarding the dismissal of the then head of the clinic,
[00:10:40] the head nurse responsible for the clinic's ward pharmacy.
[00:10:43] At the same time, the KBC Rijeka management made a decision to dismiss
[00:10:47] the then head of the clinic from her position. The former
[00:10:50] director of KBC Rijeka says that he did his job conscientiously
[00:10:54] and in the interest of the healthcare institution. We have here
[00:10:57] a detail, for example, where KBC Rijeka
[00:11:01] paid, to my knowledge, this was after my
[00:11:04] departure, but related to these cases,
[00:11:07] immediate penalties of 220,000
[00:11:11] euros for the actions of one of the employees who was returned to
[00:11:15] work. So, I just want to emphasize that
[00:11:18] decisions are not easy, no one dismisses easily, not even when I was
[00:11:22] director, but that... "every workplace,
[00:11:26] especially when you manage a large
[00:11:28] institution, brings both challenges and
[00:11:31] responsibilities. My colleague from the government, Minister of Health Irena
[00:11:35] Hrstić, is now defending her colleague Ružić from the top of her head. So,
[00:11:39] it was certainly the case that whenever you are
[00:11:42] a responsible person in the position of director or head of department
[00:11:46] or me as minister, there are always
[00:11:49] situations where you have to make sometimes perhaps unfavorable
[00:11:53] decisions, but I will emphasize once again that in every
[00:11:57] dismissal or non-dismissal process, the courts
[00:12:00] rule according to the letter of the law, no matter how it seems to anyone. So, we are not
[00:12:04] talking about emotion towards the decision itself,
[00:12:07] but about a legally correct decision. And the union
[00:12:11] says that KBC Rijeka is wasting public money
[00:12:14] by paying for illegal labor disputes, they expect that every
[00:12:18] cent will be returned to the hospital budget. Our union's imperative
[00:12:22] will be that they not only respond financially,
[00:12:25] but also criminally, for the simple
[00:12:28] reason that they disputed the constitutional
[00:12:32] right to work of our employees, meaning they
[00:12:35] abused, it is an abuse of position and
[00:12:39] authority, not only of director Rušić, but also of the members
[00:12:43] of the management board who raised their hands and confirmed these
[00:12:46] illegal disputes, although we assured them that
[00:12:50] these disputes would be
[00:12:52] in favor of our employees. The Municipal Court in
[00:12:56] Rijeka annulled the decision on her extraordinary dismissal and it is currently
[00:13:00] unknown whether the Rijeka hospital will appeal this ruling, as well as the ruling
[00:13:03] in the Šain case. Hana
[00:13:06] Nanić, N1,
[00:13:08] Zagreb.
[00:13:11] A short circuit on an extension cord, to which a mobile phone and fans were connected,
[00:13:14] caused a fire in an apartment in Zadar in which a three-year-old
[00:13:18] boy was severely injured. At the time of the fire, the boy was alone in the
[00:13:22] apartment. Zadar police confirmed that a woman
[00:13:25] is in police custody and that a criminal investigation
[00:13:29] is underway. They state that they had previously
[00:13:33] acted against her and informed the competent authorities about everything.
[00:13:36] The three-year-old sustained first- and second-degree burns and was transferred
[00:13:39] from Zadar hospital to Zagreb's Klaićeva hospital.
[00:13:43] He is in intensive care in a serious but stable
[00:13:46] condition. The boy lived with his mother in a rented apartment, and
[00:13:50] the family was included in the social welfare
[00:13:53] system.
[00:13:58] An extraordinary inspection was sent, today it is in
[00:14:00] Zadar, today
[00:14:04] documentation is being seized, all of this
[00:14:06] is in accordance with the usual procedure in terms
[00:14:10] of dynamics, after we
[00:14:13] have the findings of that inspection, then
[00:14:17] we will be able to communicate
[00:14:20] concretely, we are still focused
[00:14:23] on the child's recovery.
[00:14:38] "Darling, we're going to play a little harder." The Prime Minister's words
[00:14:41] addressed to Ivana Kekin caused a new debate about
[00:14:45] sexism, but also about the boundaries of political speech.
[00:14:48] While some see it as belittling
[00:14:50] the MP, others see it as just another in a series of political
[00:14:53] provocations. Is what used to be scandalous
[00:14:57] today a normal way of political communication, Katarina
[00:15:01] Plantak knows.
[00:15:04] You are interested in early elections and a change of government,
[00:15:07] darling, we will play until the elections, we will play
[00:15:11] a little harder, we will play a little harder and
[00:15:15] we are looking forward to that game. This is how the Prime Minister answered the question
[00:15:19] of the MP Ivana Kekin during the current question hour.
[00:15:22] She retaliates today. I don't know if he wanted to offend me or if
[00:15:26] it was perhaps a threat. What I can tell him is that we
[00:15:30] are not afraid, hmm, I am certainly not the only darling, there are many darlings in
[00:15:34] this country, we are all those who believe that at the head of institutions
[00:15:37] there should not sit people who, for example, plunder healthcare like his minister or those
[00:15:41] who let 37,000 tons
[00:15:44] of waste be buried in the ground. Is "darling" just inappropriate
[00:15:47] political teasing or sexist belittling
[00:15:51] of an MP, and would the Prime Minister address such a word to a male
[00:15:55] political opponent in parliament? The MPs' answers depend on which
[00:15:59] side of the parliament they come from. Misogyny,
[00:16:02] you have uh these men in positions
[00:16:06] of power, now we are talking about the Prime Minister.
[00:16:08] hmm who in the
[00:16:11] impossibility of an equal fight with arguments
[00:16:14] resorts to belittling and diminishing female MPs. You
[00:16:18] know what is all said in parliament, believe me, I don't want to comment on what
[00:16:22] I have heard in these six years as an MP, what was all
[00:16:26] said, from insults,
[00:16:29] curses, insults
[00:16:31] to men, women, anything. Believe me, what
[00:16:35] the Prime Minister said, "darling", that is... "I would say in the
[00:16:38] category of the last, last thing, there is certainly
[00:16:41] a certain reason why something
[00:16:45] was said, so I believe yesterday, when we were
[00:16:48] in parliament, I believe that everyone can judge why
[00:16:52] such a statement was made, and when we talk about
[00:16:55] male-female relations, I personally as a woman and as a minister
[00:16:59] throughout my life, I have not had problems
[00:17:02] because I am a woman, while the ruling party sees no problem in the Prime Minister's message,
[00:17:06] communication..." The expert says the choice
[00:17:09] of words is not accidental or harmless. It is definitely
[00:17:12] sexism and it is a way in which women are actually
[00:17:16] stereotyped
[00:17:19] and uh presented as less equal
[00:17:22] interlocutors in political discourse and in public space in general. And one
[00:17:26] word thus reopened the question of sexism in
[00:17:29] politics, but personal belittling, labeling and
[00:17:32] street language have long been the norm. What would once
[00:17:36] cause a scandal today is almost a common part
[00:17:39] of political confrontation, an extremely intelligent
[00:17:42] approach to such issues, not having a foreign policy
[00:17:45] as such, has put you in a position where you are very
[00:17:49] often you know, Vučić's, I'm sorry, but
[00:17:53] truly an idiot. Insult for insult, label for
[00:17:56] label. The ruling opposition generally
[00:17:59] condemns such speech, but at the same time justifies it with the words and
[00:18:02] actions of the other side. Either you are a human being or you are
[00:18:05] an HDZ member. Let's remember that Prime Minister
[00:18:09] Plenković was called a führer, and then that
[00:18:12] we are worse than Nazis. What we advocate
[00:18:16] is that the level of speech in the Croatian Parliament and through debates,
[00:18:19] regardless of how heated they are, should be reasoned, but they should be at
[00:18:23] a certain level. But words spoken
[00:18:26] in parliament remain within parliamentary walls. I don't understand
[00:18:29] why someone among us doesn't think, okay, what message are we sending,
[00:18:33] to all young people who might be watching Croatian
[00:18:36] politics? This insult further pushes the boundaries of what is allowed,
[00:18:40] and politicians, whether they want to admit it or not, set
[00:18:43] the standards of public communication with their words. If they
[00:18:46] communicate in that way, if MPs in parliament, the prime minister,
[00:18:49] the president, or anyone in a high position communicates
[00:18:53] in an inappropriate way, it sends a message that
[00:18:56] such a thing is normal. So, the biggest problem with such
[00:19:00] communication is the normalization of something
[00:19:03] that some ten years ago, not to mention more,
[00:19:07] was considered completely unacceptable,
[00:19:10] that is, we would even say scandalous. And when
[00:19:14] personal attacks replace political arguments, it not only lowers the level of discussion,
[00:19:17] it sends a message that belittling, sexism, and insulting are
[00:19:20] acceptable, as long as it doesn't personally affect us. Katarina
[00:19:24] Plantak, N1, Zagreb.
[00:19:39] The remediation of illegal waste in Gospić continues to cause political
[00:19:42] disputes, as well as resistance in areas where some of the waste should be
[00:19:46] transported. While answers are being sought regarding responsibility for a case that
[00:19:49] went under the radar for years, the Homeland Movement
[00:19:53] has a new plan to prevent similar cases. Croatia could
[00:19:56] get several thousand armed rangers who would
[00:20:00] fight against green crime.
[00:20:04] The remediation of waste in Gospić continued to raise national tensions.
[00:20:08] You have five times bigger contracts with people you have been
[00:20:11] spitting on for decades. The opposition and
[00:20:14] civil initiatives remain skeptical of the government's scientific
[00:20:18] council for the remediation of illegally deposited waste in
[00:20:21] Gospić. The head of the council and rector of the University of Zagreb says:
[00:20:24] "Who will, if not us?" He responds to the opposition's accusations: "Why weren't they
[00:20:28] brave enough to offer this whole story about some
[00:20:32] element, that I listened to others talking all this time,
[00:20:35] nothing would have been achieved that we had
[00:20:39] imagined." Some of the waste has already caused reactions in
[00:20:43] the areas where it was supposed to be delivered. Yesterday, several hundred people
[00:20:46] protested in Raša due to the announcement that about 300 tons
[00:20:50] of Gospić waste would be used in Holcim. In Našice, a petition
[00:20:53] against the transport of waste was launched with over 3,000 signatures,
[00:20:57] a protest is announced for Saturday. The profession knows this very
[00:21:00] well, they are aware of the
[00:21:03] uh waste,
[00:21:07] they are aware, they know that the waste is harmless, that's why they are
[00:21:10] acceptable, a company that produces
[00:21:14] cement in Croatia would not have taken over the waste
[00:21:17] to help the government. Instead, it took over
[00:21:21] the waste, and that specific type of waste
[00:21:24] that can be used in their production process.
[00:21:28] The Gospić case will be discussed by the Committee for Internal
[00:21:32] Policy and National Security, behind closed doors. It will be
[00:21:35] a closed session without cameras, meaning
[00:21:39] no one can complain that
[00:21:41] someone wants to profit from politicking or similar. What interests
[00:21:45] me most are the answers of the State Attorney's Office
[00:21:47] regarding that. "If you
[00:21:50] knew in 2023, that is,
[00:21:53] your people, you weren't even the chief state attorney yet, how is
[00:21:57] it possible that you didn't stop it? What
[00:21:59] are you waiting for, the milestone 2000th
[00:22:02] truck? One thing is remediation, another
[00:22:06] is responsibility, and a third is how to prevent a new Gospić. Mlinarić says he already
[00:22:09] has a solution for a long time. We offered a year
[00:22:13] and a half ago
[00:22:17] a solution in the form of establishing a ranger
[00:22:20] service, or green police,
[00:22:24] whatever you want, because there is a large range
[00:22:28] from municipal wardens to
[00:22:31] inspectors. According to the proposal of the Homeland Movement, rangers would
[00:22:34] monitor illegal waste disposal, as well as poaching in protected
[00:22:38] areas. Green crime causes
[00:22:41] the Croatian economy between 550 and 650
[00:22:44] million euros in damage every
[00:22:47] year. Five regional offices of the ranger service,
[00:22:51] headquartered in Zagreb, we plan
[00:22:54] more than ten ranger stations. The initial
[00:22:57] plan indicates, therefore, international formulas tell you
[00:23:00] about 3,500 to 4,500 rangers would be
[00:23:04] enough for Croatia. You forgot, Željko, to tell
[00:23:07] your friend that the rangers would be
[00:23:09] armed, that they would not walk around
[00:23:13] with their hands in their pockets. Vuković claims that rangers would
[00:23:17] relieve the police and inspectorate who are already understaffed. But
[00:23:20] where to find thousands of new armed rangers if they are
[00:23:24] taken precisely from those already under-capacitated
[00:23:27] systems. Mateo Keller, N1,

[00:23:33] Water from the public water supply system in the area of Lika-Senj
[00:23:37] County and the island of Pag is health-safe and safe
[00:23:40] for drinking, the latest sampling showed. The Croatian Institute
[00:23:44] of Public Health analyzed 19 water samples from the supply
[00:23:47] zones of Gospić, Senj, Tonković. Čavrilo Mrđenovac and
[00:23:51] Novalja. All samples were health-safe,
[00:23:54] PFAS compounds in one were not detected above the detection
[00:23:58] limit. Since the beginning of the extraordinary sampling,
[00:24:01] a total of 93 samples have been analyzed. Controls continue
[00:24:05] to be carried out once a week.
[00:24:20] President Zoran Milanović met in Petrčane near Zadar
[00:24:23] with the chiefs of staff of the member states of the
[00:24:26] US-Adriatic Charter and high-ranking US and NATO
[00:24:30] commanders. The main topic was strengthening
[00:24:33] regional military and civilian cooperation in times of increasing
[00:24:37] geopolitical security challenges. Milanović
[00:24:40] stated that Croatia supports cooperation that contributes to peace and
[00:24:44] stability in the region, especially emphasizing the important
[00:24:47] role of the USA and the American military. Through its
[00:24:51] presidency of the US-Adriatic Charter, Croatia will continue
[00:24:54] to support the Euro-Atlantic path of member states.
[00:24:58] The meeting was also attended by the Supreme Commander of Allied
[00:25:01] Forces in Europe, US General Alexus Grinkevich.
[00:25:20] A new electoral test for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. On
[00:25:24] Sunday, voting takes place in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
[00:25:27] and polls show new strong support for
[00:25:30] the AfD. The far- right party is at
[00:25:33] 37%, and Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig's SPD is at
[00:25:37] 35%. Merz's CDU has only 7% and
[00:25:41] faces the worst election result in the party's history.
[00:25:44] The elections come two weeks after the AfD's victory in Saxony-
[00:25:48] Anhalt. German media are already speculating that a new difficult
[00:25:52] result for the CDU could additionally open the question
[00:25:55] of Merz's political
[00:25:56] future.
[00:26:00] Generally, the topic here is also changing with the migrants, which is also very
[00:26:04] critical, and I think that something has to change there. Now
[00:26:08] the question is whether one does it the way the AFD intends to, or like the
[00:26:11] other parties. In any case, something has to be done, because the way things are right now,
[00:26:14] it cannot continue. So if I
[00:26:17] could vote here, I would definitely not vote for the AFD, but for a
[00:26:21] democratic party, because
[00:26:24] I simply see how this right-wing populism and
[00:26:28] also partly right-wing extremism are dividing this country.
[00:26:34] One person was injured after parts of a drone fell on warehouses
[00:26:37] in the wider Kyiv area. The incident occurred during
[00:26:41] a Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian capital. Footage from
[00:26:44] the scene shows smoke rising from the affected
[00:26:48] area. The injured person was hospitalized. A sharp
[00:26:51] increase in the production of jet drones has allowed Moscow
[00:26:55] to attack Ukraine, especially Kyiv, with a large number of these
[00:26:58] aircraft. Their high speed significantly complicates defenses
[00:27:03] compared to earlier
[00:27:04] models.
[00:27:08] An Italian fighter jet, as part of a NATO mission, shot down
[00:27:11] a Russian-type drone over Lithuania. The Lithuanian president
[00:27:15] believes that Lithuania was not its target, but that it was flying towards
[00:27:18] Ukraine. This is the first suspicious Russian drone to be
[00:27:21] shot down by a NATO air defense mission in the Baltics. Russia has
[00:27:25] not yet commented on the incidents.
[00:27:29] Currently, according to available information, it was
[00:27:32] a Gerbera-type drone.
[00:27:35] Its electronic part is currently being analyzed,
[00:27:38] and it seems that the information will be able to restore and determine
[00:27:42] much more data on where, how, and under
[00:27:46] what circumstances. Most likely, it
[00:27:48] was not a deliberate
[00:27:52] action against Lithuania. Most likely, it was
[00:27:55] a Russian drone that was intended
[00:27:58] for Ukraine, deflected from its course by Ukrainian electronic
[00:28:03] warfare means, and entered our country's territory, where it was
[00:28:07] shot down.
[00:28:12] Palestinians from the village of Kusra on the West Bank are seeking
[00:28:15] protection from extremist Israeli settlers.
[00:28:18] They have turned to the Israeli Supreme Court. Earlier this month,
[00:28:22] settlers surrounded several families in their homes.
[00:28:25] Residents claim that attacks and harassment continue almost
[00:28:29] daily. They are asking the court to order the police and military
[00:28:33] to remove the settlers from the vicinity of the village. The Israeli
[00:28:36] army says it has sent additional
[00:28:44] In court, we presented the evidence that we claim the army is
[00:28:47] negligent in enforcing the law and is not fulfilling its duty
[00:28:51] to enforce the law and evacuate
[00:28:52] the.
[00:28:56] that's coming in the next few days like what he
[00:28:59] said they will uh ask. the police
[00:29:03] and the IDF to take things very seriously, to move the
[00:29:06] settlers permanently and bring peace to the residents
[00:29:10] of Kusra and will be able to go in and out freely and
[00:29:14] safely, more importantly.
[00:29:28] The State Hydrometeorological Institute has activated a weather alert due to
[00:29:31] the upcoming weather change. In parts of the country, severe weather
[00:29:35] is possible. All details are brought to you by meteorologist Tea
[00:29:38] Blažević. Warm greetings, dear viewers,
[00:29:42] after a short stabilization, a new change is coming. It will already be raining
[00:29:45] in the west of the country in the morning, locally there may be more intense showers with
[00:29:49] thunder, therefore the Meteoalarm system of the State
[00:29:52] Hydrometeorological Institute warns of the possibility of abundant
[00:29:56] precipitation, primarily in the areas of Gorski kotar and the northern
[00:29:59] Adriatic. The anticyclone field from the northwest is weakening. We can
[00:30:02] see this cold front approaching in the animation, so it
[00:30:06] will destabilize the atmosphere overnight, mostly dry, but
[00:30:09] we expect clouds to gradually move in from
[00:30:13] the west, so already in the morning, for example, on the northern
[00:30:17] Adriatic, in the west of the country there will be rain, showers with thunder, which
[00:30:21] will then spread to central Croatia, northern
[00:30:24] regions, northern
[00:30:27] the east and south, on the northern Adriatic and in Gorski kotar, as I
[00:30:31] mentioned, there may be precipitation. A northerly wind will start
[00:30:34] blowing inland, northeasterly, northerly, in the east
[00:30:37] northwesterly, on the Adriatic a southerly wind, which will be strong
[00:30:41] in the north. These are the temperatures we expect tonight
[00:30:44] and tomorrow morning, from 9 to 14 degrees inland, along the coast and
[00:30:48] islands from 18 to 23 degrees. Tomorrow's temperatures will
[00:30:52] mainly be from 21 to 25 degrees, with
[00:30:55] temperatures in the east and especially the south remaining higher, up to 29-30.
