[00:00:00] to jointly open the doors for Canada to become
[00:00:03] the first associate member of the
[00:00:06] European Union.
[00:00:10] I was horrified by the images of last week's funeral
[00:00:13] of Ratko Mladić in Belgrade.
[00:00:34] He committed the most cruel crimes against
[00:00:37] humanity,
[00:00:40] there is simply no place in the European Union for glorifying war criminals.
[00:00:54] All victims of wars in the former Yugoslavia deserve to be
[00:00:57] remembered.
[00:01:00] "And all their families deserve our
[00:01:02] compassion,
[00:01:05] because that is what we as a union stand for, for truth,
[00:01:09] justice, respect for our
[00:01:11] values."
[00:01:18] A lot has been said, but little concrete," said foreign
[00:01:22] policy analyst Mirjana Rakić on our
[00:01:25] new
[00:01:27] day: "Very much of 'we need', 'we will', but
[00:01:30] how, in what time, what are the deadlines, new
[00:01:34] alliances are being formed, an alliance for electricity,
[00:01:39] culture, who needs it, but also an alliance for artificial intelligence,
[00:01:42] the most interesting to me seems to be this European Security Alliance,
[00:01:45] where in a way a counterbalance
[00:01:49] to NATO is being
[00:01:51] created."
[00:02:00] German Chancellor Fredrik Merz canceled his trip to the United Nations
[00:02:04] General Assembly in New York. He remains in Berlin for key party
[00:02:07] meetings. The decision comes at a time of great pressure after the heavy
[00:02:11] defeat of the Conservatives in Saxony-Anhalt. New
[00:02:14] polls show that the right-wing Alternative for Germany
[00:02:18] leads at the national level with a record 30%
[00:02:21] support, while the CDU-CSU block fell to
[00:02:24] 20%. Upcoming state elections in Berlin and
[00:02:28] Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in
[00:02:30] September will be a new test for Merz, while there are already
[00:02:34] speculations in the public about a possible change at the head of the government.
[00:02:38] I am currently interested in the factual questions, how we move forward. We are an
[00:02:41] elected government, we are elected for four years, I
[00:02:45] am elected for four years and I want us to use these four years
[00:02:49] to lead the country out of this difficult phase.
[00:02:51] out.
[00:03:00] The American war against Iran has so far cost 38 billion
[00:03:04] dollars, with an estimate that monthly costs will increase by three billion
[00:03:07] dollars. This was announced by the Congressional Budget Office. The conflict has
[00:03:11] depleted ammunition supplies and caused a rise in energy
[00:03:13] prices, which could increase inflation by
[00:03:17] 0.5% in the first three months of next year. While the White
[00:03:21] House and the Pentagon claim that the military has enough resources for all
[00:03:24] objectives, the US House of Representatives has voted for the third time
[00:03:28] for a resolution to end the conflict. The decision comes before the mid-term
[00:03:31] elections, and voters are not pleased by the jump in fuel prices
[00:03:35] caused by the blockade of the Strait of
[00:03:36] Hormuz.
[00:03:45] Saudi Arabia's air defense intercepted a Houthi drone near
[00:03:48] Mecca, which is the first attempted attack on this city since
[00:03:51] 2017. Due to security risks, the US Embassy
[00:03:55] has warned its citizens to avoid the border area with
[00:03:58] Yemen. Due to damage to the pipeline to the Red Sea in
[00:04:01] drone attacks, Saudi Arabia has reduced oil supplies to
[00:04:05] Europe. This has caused a jump in oil prices, so European companies
[00:04:09] are forced to look for alternative sources
[00:04:11] of supply.
[00:04:17] The Yemeni armed forces will continue to protect the airspace of our
[00:04:20] country and preserve its sovereignty from any aggression or
[00:04:23] violation by all available means, and the sky of Yemen will not be
[00:04:27] violated, God willing.
[00:04:35] At least 20 Palestinians, among whom five children died,
[00:04:39] 25 were injured in the collapse of a six-story building in
[00:04:42] Gaza City. The building, previously damaged in Israeli attacks,
[00:04:45] served as a shelter for more than 60 displaced people.
[00:04:49] Rescue teams are trying to reach those trapped
[00:04:52] under the rubble, but their work is hampered by the lack of heavy
[00:04:56] machinery. Authorities in Gaza point out that about
[00:04:58] 8,500 people across the Strip are still listed
[00:05:02] as missing under the rubble, and they call on the international community for
[00:05:06] urgent intervention and the lifting of
[00:05:07] the blockade.
[00:05:11] And here we have deployed all our team that are working on debris and rubble
[00:05:15] removal to support, uh, to support
[00:05:18] these families. The situation, as you see, is tragic because
[00:05:22] we don't have the equipment and machinery that is needed,
[00:05:25] so there are actually people that are
[00:05:28] digging with their bare hands. We need
[00:05:31] to prepare. Uh, there are
[00:05:34] approximately 400 buildings at risk of
[00:05:37] collapse, and we know that these buildings will collapse, especially
[00:05:41] now with the upcoming winter. Uh, we need
[00:05:45] support, uh, most importantly with
[00:05:49] machinery, equipment, among others, also
[00:05:51] to
[00:05:54] our colleagues here that don't have oil and spare parts
[00:05:57] to continue and to work with all the equipment that is still in
[00:06:01] Gaza. We are running against time. This is
[00:06:05] a tragedy within a larger tragedy, uh,
[00:06:09] and it is important that we're all coming together as
[00:06:23] And that's all for this edition of Global. The latest world news is, as always, on
[00:06:27] our web portals and social networks. Goodbye until tomorrow.
[00:07:25] there was, um, uh, the mad hatter of the
[00:07:29] family, to be honest. She was the one that got up to mischief.
[00:07:32] Susanna's sister was the sensible one. Um, but yeah, she
[00:07:36] was a lively, lively, fun-loving little
[00:07:39] girl, um, that, you know, would make
[00:07:43] us all laugh and fall about and would be up to
[00:07:46] mischief whenever the opportunity arose. Not bad
[00:07:49] mischief, enough to, you know, had to
[00:07:52] be to keep you on your toes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And as any
[00:07:56] girl her age is encouraged to be, should be. She was
[00:08:00] active, she liked being outdoors. Yeah,
[00:08:03] and she did that, a lot of your photographs and
[00:08:07] memories of her. Yeah, she loved the beach. She loved the beach. She loved being
[00:08:10] outdoors. Yeah, she collected
[00:08:12] hundreds of shells, and we had to keep them all. And
[00:08:16] it was only she could only collect them if she promised to
[00:08:20] return some and only take a few home. Um,
[00:08:23] but of course she never got to choose. Was this family trip to
[00:08:26] Devon that changed the course of your family's
[00:08:30] life and ultimately led to the end of Heather's? Can you talk to me about what happened that
[00:08:33] day, because it was an ordinary family trip to the beach? Yeah, yeah.
[00:08:37] She, she was enjoying herself, having lots of fun, and we were going to
[00:08:40] go for a walk in the evening.
[00:08:42] And, um, previously in the day, we'd done the
[00:08:46] same walk along the seafront, along the path,
[00:08:50] um, and that's where she trod in that uh, the the water from the combined
[00:08:53] sewage overflow. We carried on the day, she played on the
[00:08:57] beach, did normal things. But then in the
[00:09:00] evening, when we went for our evening walk, uh, she started, she suddenly became
[00:09:04] unwell. Um, and and became
[00:09:08] quite distressed. Uh, so we got her back
[00:09:11] to the... and did what any parent would do
[00:09:14] and go, "You've got a sickness and diarrhea, you can't have anything to eat or
[00:09:18] drink, you'll be better soon. Don't worry about it. I'll stay with
[00:09:21] you. Dad and Suzanne will go out."
[00:09:24] Um, but she she didn't, she wasn't getting
[00:09:28] better. Um, so we took her to the chemist.
[00:09:31] The chemist prescribed her a rehydration solution. You know, sickness and diarrhea, same, you know,
[00:09:35] every, every parent's journey with a child that's got, you know, sickness and
[00:09:39] diarrhea. Um, but then as things
[00:09:42] regressed, she started to bleed, and that's when we went back to the doctors, and
[00:09:46] that's when we were rushed to casualty. Um,
[00:09:49] and everything you saw in Dirty Business is what happened. Um,
[00:09:53] which is the the Channel 4 series. Yeah.
[00:09:56] Based on your family's experience and
[00:09:59] exploring the state of the UK waters and the the
[00:10:03] industry involved in it. Southwest Water carried out
[00:10:06] investigations at the time. Um, despite formal
[00:10:09] investigations, no cause for the outbreak was identified.
[00:10:13] Um, the inquest documentation confirming that no definitive source of infection was
[00:10:16] established. And the circumstances, Southwest Water say, of wastewater
[00:10:20] infrastructure and regulation in the late 1990s is very different from
[00:10:24] today, and then there has been significant investment.
[00:10:27] However, can I just say something? Yeah, you can. At
[00:10:30] the time, it took them 30 days to take
[00:10:34] samples from the water in the area, and we're always told that if there's
[00:10:38] a sewage spillage into the sea, 48 hours
[00:10:42] waiting to see, but they did not. They assumed at
[00:10:45] the time, they completely assumed it was from food. And when
[00:10:49] they drew a blank, that's when they started looking at the
[00:10:53] environment. When you think about it? You know, Heather died back in
[00:10:56] 1999, and water companies say you're in a very
[00:11:00] different place to where we were in the
[00:11:02] 1990s. But are we then? Well, that's the thing. I
[00:11:06] mean, you went to Westminster
[00:11:09] with Surfers Against Sewage last week with some very
[00:11:13] stark statistics from the summer period.
[00:11:17] Um, also with personal stories from families. This
[00:11:21] summer, there was a young girl called Keeva, eight years old. She became
[00:11:25] unwell after swimming at Avon Beach in Dorset, again a
[00:11:29] designated bathing water site awarded
[00:11:31] excellent. She swallowed seawater while swimming at her local
[00:11:35] beach and was hospitalized afterwards. What is it like for you
[00:11:39] to see this happening up and down the
[00:11:42] country
[00:11:44] repeatedly? What is it like for you as a family who have lost a
[00:11:48] daughter? It, it's a mixture. There's
[00:11:51] anger,
[00:11:53] real anger, but so there's a
[00:11:57] deep sadness, because when I had my
[00:12:00] meeting with the Secretary of State and the Secretary for Water, the
[00:12:04] Minister for Water, sorry, I said to them really clearly,
[00:12:08] "I am not going to stop until
[00:12:11] something changes," because I cannot
[00:12:14] allow this to happen to another child and another
[00:12:17] family. I can't, because it's
[00:12:20] horrific, and you can't, you can't ignore the
[00:12:24] fact that this is a public
[00:12:28] health crisis. The the sewage system, its
[00:12:32] primary function is to protect public health, and
[00:12:34] it's not doing that. And so
[00:12:38] I just cannot understand why there are all these people in
[00:12:42] power, all these people that have the authority. They must have
[00:12:45] children, they must have families. They must
[00:12:49] feel, you know, they must understand,
[00:12:52] and yet they continue to do the same
[00:12:56] things, over and over again, such as discharging sewage into
[00:13:00] bathing water. Why would you do that? Why would
[00:13:03] you run the risk on your watch, the
[00:13:07] possibility of another death? Why would you do that? Final question,
[00:13:10] Julie, um, water safety became a mandatory part of the
[00:13:13] curriculum in the UK in schools, to do with water safety.
[00:13:16] We had an unprecedented number of deaths this year from people getting into
[00:13:20] difficulty open water swimming. It didn't include
[00:13:23] water quality. We that that does get
[00:13:27] taught as part of geography lessons. But in your case,
[00:13:30] you actually brought our guide with the charity Surfers Against Sewage
[00:13:34] to make people aware, because that's the thing. People go to the
[00:13:37] seaside and they don't always have an app to check what the
[00:13:41] quality of water is like. But you want to educate
[00:13:45] young people, because while they're perhaps not being looked after by the state or water
[00:13:48] companies, they need to look after themselves. What do you want to see in
[00:13:51] schools? Well, the people that are taking them on the trip, doing the risk
[00:13:55] assessments, doing a full risk assessment, looking at water
[00:13:58] quality, including that in the risk assessment. And also making
[00:14:02] children aware. I mean, how many, I mean, I know, because I used to work
[00:14:06] in education, if kids got dirty, just rinse your hands in the water when you're on an
[00:14:10] outdoor ed, just give your hands a rinse. And it's like, now that's not the
[00:14:13] case. That is not a safe place to actually make sure you're clean. You
[00:14:17] know, use some wet wipes, use antibac, use something. Don't
[00:14:21] touch your lips, you know, all that kind of basic stuff. Don't touch your lips.
[00:14:25] Wash your hands before eating. Hygiene. Think of the
[00:14:28] water as potentially contaminated. Don't
[00:14:31] assume it's not, 'cause we can't
[00:14:34] assume that the water companies, the environmental
[00:14:38] agency, the government are looking after us at the
[00:14:41] moment. They aren't. So we have to protect ourselves, and
[00:14:44] that's my big message at the moment
[00:14:47] is, "Don't assume. Take care, look
[00:14:50] after your children, keep them safe. The water isn't
[00:14:54] safe."
[00:15:02] Who justified enormous salaries? Is there any principle, or
[00:15:06] among politicians, does the saying "no eternal friends, no
[00:15:09] enemies, only eternal interests" apply? Who builds, who destroys
[00:15:13] the state? We follow the work of institutions, because that's where everything
[00:15:17] begins.
[00:15:24] Without a doubt, your trust, your support, we open the most important
[00:15:27] topics, from crime, corruption and constitutional issues. Our goal is
[00:15:31] a more just society, a society tailored to every citizen of Bosnia and
[00:15:35] Herzegovina. Through the fight for your rights,
[00:15:39] we always walk with you. In your name, we search for
[00:15:42] answers, with you, we seek
[00:15:44] solutions.
[00:15:49] Your concern for a better, safer environment, the preservation of natural
[00:15:53] resources, the improvement of mutual relations, is our
[00:15:56] focus, because we are also part of Bosnian-Herzegovinian
[00:15:59] society.
[00:27:20] environment, the preservation of natural resources, the improvement of
[00:27:23] mutual relations, is our focus, because we
[00:27:27] are part of Bosnian-Herzegovinian
[00:27:28] society."
