[00:00:25] The fire on Cvrsnica is still active, Croatia has approved the use of two [00:00:29] Canadairs. [00:00:32] Miners of the Kakanj brown coal mine in workers' disobedience after the repeated [00:00:36] suspension of health insurance card [00:00:37] verification. [00:00:40] Trump threatens the European Union over plans for Canada to become an associate [00:00:43] member. The Canadian Prime Minister addressed the European [00:00:46] Parliament. [00:00:50] Two people injured in a fire at a nursing home in Lukavac are in serious condition. [00:00:54] One patient is on a ventilator. Patient with initials OH, born [00:00:57] in 1948, suffered severe burns [00:01:01] combined with inhalation burns. The patient is [00:01:04] intubated and on mechanical ventilation. Another patient with initials [00:01:08] MO suffered face and body burns. The general condition of both [00:01:11] patients is serious. The fire broke out last night in one of the nursing homes [00:01:15] in the Mosorovac settlement in the area of Lukavac. All relevant services are [00:01:18] on the ground and the circumstances and cause [00:01:21] of the fire are being determined. [00:01:25] The forest fire that has been active for several days in the Blidinje Nature [00:01:28] Park has flared up again and affected the forests, the spread [00:01:32] of the fire is favored by strong wind and prolonged drought, and family [00:01:36] houses and cottages are only about 100 to 200 [00:01:40] meters from the fire site, due to inaccessible terrain, extinguishing [00:01:43] by ground forces is currently not possible, it was announced from [00:01:47] the operational center of the civil protection of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton. All [00:01:51] available firefighting forces from Jablenica and neighboring towns and [00:01:54] the fire, the fire is spreading further, [00:01:58] aerial extinguishing is helping. An Air Tractor that performed 10 sorties [00:02:01] and a helicopter of the armed forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Government of the Republic [00:02:05] of Croatia approved the use of two Canadairs to provide [00:02:09] humanitarian aid to Bosnia and [00:02:10] Herzegovina. [00:02:15] After the suspension of health insurance card verification, the miners of [00:02:19] the Kakanj Brown Coal Mine are still in workers' disobedience. [00:02:21] The Miners' Union demands a review of the legality of actions [00:02:25] towards the workers of this company, from the Health Insurance Institute [00:02:29] of the Zenica-Doboj Canton, which has reactivated the decision [00:02:32] on the impossibility of verifying health insurance cards for miners from this [00:02:35] canton. We remind you, the debts of the coal mines in Zenica, Breza and [00:02:39] Kakanj to the Health Insurance Institute of the Zenica-Doboj [00:02:42] Canton, on the basis of unpaid contributions for health [00:02:45] insurance exceed 175 million [00:02:49] marks. [00:02:52] The Trade Union of Health Workers of the Canton of Sarajevo and the basic trade union [00:02:56] organizations of the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo pointed out [00:03:00] numerous irregularities in the work of the management, especially regarding the [00:03:03] rulebook on work and collective agreement, as they state, [00:03:06] the management of the clinical center does not respond to their letters and [00:03:09] social dialogue is missing and the involvement of trade unions in important [00:03:13] issues, they pointed out problems with work organization, [00:03:16] overtime work and compensation, as well as the transfer of employees to [00:03:20] other organizational units, especially emphasizing the lack [00:03:24] of staff, increased workload of employees and possible consequences for [00:03:27] patient safety. The union announced that if such [00:03:31] practices continue, the documentation could be submitted to the court as part [00:03:34] of a legal procedure. [00:03:37] Overtime work in the clinical center is [00:03:40] paid in a lump sum, not in all [00:03:44] clinics [00:03:47] depending on the head [00:03:49] of the clinic. Due to the lack of [00:03:53] employees, which is evident [00:03:56] due to the systematization with which [00:03:59] a sufficient number of staff of all [00:04:02] profiles in healthcare in the clinical center [00:04:06] is not filled, it is undeniable that excess hours are generated [00:04:10] and [00:04:12] simply that work must be verified, [00:04:16] recorded and [00:04:17] paid. [00:04:21] I must say that simply in our [00:04:24] institution we have union members who have been working [00:04:28] crisis. One of for over 20, 30 years and who are not recognized as [00:04:31] staff, they have completed university degrees, we had [00:04:34] an agreement that this would be recognized, but it is not [00:04:38] happening, uh, the management's consent [00:04:41] existed, but there are always some people who obstruct [00:04:44] it, I must say that our staff teaches at [00:04:48] universities, they are not recognized in that [00:04:50] institution. [00:04:53] The Health Insurance Institute of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton [00:04:57] is hosting a conference dedicated to the future of health care [00:05:00] which discusses sustainable financing, prevention, challenges facing [00:05:04] the health system, the goal is to open space for exchanging [00:05:07] experiences and finding solutions that would contribute to long-term [00:05:10] quality health care, from the meeting it was stated that for [00:05:14] a stable and functional health system, adequate [00:05:18] financing and long-term planning are needed, although the departure [00:05:21] of doctors is a problem that is present in different parts of Bosnia and [00:05:24] Herzegovina, in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, [00:05:27] it is currently, as stated, not so pronounced, but the need for [00:05:31] additional investments in healthcare remains one of the important [00:05:34] challenges. [00:05:36] Precisely because the market is now liberalized, they have a much simpler possibility [00:05:40] of leaving, like all other workers, but of course, this is perhaps most felt when it comes [00:05:44] to medical staff, primarily doctors, [00:05:48] uh, for now we do not have alarming indicators [00:05:51] when we talk about our canton, but it is definitely one of the [00:05:54] potential problems since, as I said, young [00:05:57] people are looking for a better [00:06:01] opportunity for themselves, we are aware that the current method [00:06:04] of financing healthcare is not sufficient for them to have such [00:06:08] conditions, primarily material and in some part working conditions, to be [00:06:12] completely satisfied and not need to look for another [00:06:15] alternative. [00:06:18] It is true that we have three hospitals, we have [00:06:22] so many health centers, I can responsibly say that in our [00:06:25] canton, there are 20% more [00:06:28] employees in healthcare per capita [00:06:31] than in all other cantons of this country, that is [00:06:35] our problem, I, the director of the institute, said, [00:06:38] that the financial situation is difficult, but also [00:06:42] said that we are not the only ones in such a situation, but [00:06:45] given what I said, on the one [00:06:48] hand, it justifies the current financial [00:06:51] situation in the healthcare [00:06:53] system. [00:06:56] The cantonal government is responsible for the construction [00:06:59] and equipping of our health institutions for almost 50 [00:07:02] million convertible marks, but today we are at [00:07:06] a moment when we are proud of everything we have built, today [00:07:09] we have a hospital, a European standard. Our university [00:07:13] clinical hospital is no longer a hospital of three cantons, but [00:07:16] a hospital for the entire [00:07:18] region. [00:07:21] The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has launched the process of developing a new development [00:07:25] strategy until 2034, [00:07:27] the goal is to define key priorities through broad consultations [00:07:31] with experts at all levels of government that will be financed with public [00:07:34] money. The authorities say that the new [00:07:38] strategy must not be just another wish list, but a concrete plan with [00:07:42] clear deadlines and secured [00:07:44] funds. It is a key [00:07:47] horizontal, multi-sectoral document [00:07:51] that determines social consensus and development priorities [00:07:54] in the next planning period. [00:07:58] Um, the strategy itself uh is [00:08:02] here to bring concrete changes, uh, a better [00:08:05] life for citizens in the period until [00:08:08] 2034 and [00:08:12] the Federal Institute for Development Programming is the institution that coordinates the process [00:08:16] that will ensure that the document [00:08:20] is prepared in accordance with the legal framework transparently [00:08:23] and inclusively of all stakeholders. [00:08:25] stranke. [00:08:28] I believe it is very important that today there are people here who have both [00:08:31] competencies, knowledge and opportunities who will initiate [00:08:35] uh today activities so that through [00:08:38] the formation of an expert group we would come to a proposal for a strategy when [00:08:42] it says: What will be in it I cannot [00:08:45] say, nor can director Kovač, because [00:08:49] mm perhaps we would have some of our own priorities, but that is what we need to [00:08:52] talk about today, to compete for these projects to set them up [00:08:56] then to create a document that will be available to everyone, just [00:08:59] as these previous ones were available, it is very easy to see [00:09:03] what it was that [00:09:05] was not realized. The missing postman from Čapljina [00:09:09] was arrested upon his return to Bosnia and Herzegovina, as Hercegovina [00:09:13] Info confirmed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, [00:09:15] S.J. was arrested at the Bijača International border crossing. An operational search [00:09:19] had been issued for him because at the time of his disappearance, pensioners in the area [00:09:23] of Čapljina had not received [00:09:26] between 50 and 60 pensions [00:09:29] that he had previously picked up. The prosecution must now determine all [00:09:33] the circumstances of his departure from Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as what happened [00:09:36] to the money that was entrusted to him for pension payments. [00:09:40] According to unofficial information, Jukić traveled from Mostar via Sarajevo and [00:09:44] Turkey to [00:09:45] Bangkok. [00:09:55] In his address to the European Parliament, Canadian [00:09:58] Prime Minister Mark Carney called for the creation of a new [00:10:01] alliance for the future between Canada and the European Union to strengthen [00:10:04] collective responsibility in conditions of geopolitical [00:10:08] turmoil and economic pressures. Carney [00:10:11] proposed extending cooperation in the areas of critical [00:10:14] minerals, artificial intelligence, energy security, defense and [00:10:18] education, emphasizing that the goal of the alliance is not to create a new power [00:10:22] bloc. [00:10:26] We do not want to rule over others, [00:10:29] on the contrary, we want to achieve [00:10:32] resilience so that no one can gain control [00:10:35] over our open markets, threaten [00:10:38] our sovereignty, threaten territorial integrity, [00:10:42] undermine our freedoms, democracy or the rule of law, and [00:10:45] these reasons combined with [00:10:49] our latent hard power mean that [00:10:52] we can help in creating [00:10:55] a new just, stable and prosperous world [00:10:59] order. [00:11:02] US President Donald Trump threatened the European Union with new [00:11:06] high tariffs if Canada becomes an associated member of the union. [00:11:09] Trump called such a possibility ridiculous and stated that he could [00:11:13] consider it a hostile act. He warned that the US [00:11:17] could respond by imposing high tariffs or suspending trade with Europe [00:11:20] in certain sectors, accusing Canada of being a bad [00:11:24] trade partner. [00:11:29] "now I think it's laughable, look uh, the whole thing with [00:11:32] Canada, Canada's been a terrible trade partner, [00:11:35] and uh, no, I don't see that, and if they do that, if [00:11:39] I think it's at all hostile act, I will put very [00:11:42] serious tariffs or stop trading with Europe on [00:11:46] many things, so if they do that, if Europe does that with a [00:11:50] bad intention, if it's a good intention, that's fine, if it's [00:11:53] a bad intention." [00:11:59] While the resolution of relations with allies in [00:12:02] Europe is awaited, US President Donald Trump announced that Iran has directly [00:12:06] addressed Washington to reach an agreement and that he hopes for a speedy end [00:12:09] to the war that is entering its seventh month. Trump will discuss post-war plans in [00:12:13] New York with leaders of Persian Gulf countries while tensions over [00:12:17] the Strait of Hormuz continue. Meanwhile, the UN mission [00:12:20] announced that it has reasonable suspicions that the United States is responsible [00:12:24] for attacks on a school and sports facility in Iran in February, which [00:12:28] constitutes a war crime. The UN also states that Iranian authorities committed [00:12:31] crimes against humanity during the brutal suppression of anti-government [00:12:35] protests. [00:12:38] Attacks and violations of the ceasefire continue in the Gaza Strip. In the [00:12:42] Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, a 15-year-old boy was killed by a drone while trying [00:12:45] to rescue an injured person. In Gaza City, [00:12:48] 21 people died in the collapse of the Al-Sada building after [00:12:52] the attack, while on the West Bank, more Palestinians were hospitalized [00:12:56] after attacks by Israeli forces. Simultaneously, ahead of the UN General [00:12:59] Assembly, the US extended visa sanctions against officials [00:13:03] of the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Liberation Organization due to [00:13:07] initiating proceedings before the International Criminal Court and [00:13:10] seeking unilateral recognition of statehood. [00:13:13] President Mahmoud Abbas was again denied a visa to come to New [00:13:17] York. [00:13:26] center and front in the United Nations and in the [00:13:30] deliberations, but more importantly we need to [00:13:33] see the war to stop, the illegal [00:13:36] occupation to start the process of evacuating and [00:13:40] peace to take place through the two states solution formula, which [00:13:44] there is global consensus in [00:13:45] it. [00:13:48] Last year was one of the driest for world rivers in [00:13:52] the last 35 years, while total freshwater [00:13:56] reserves on Earth have been decreasing for a whole decade, warn world [00:13:59] meteorological organizations. The new report states that only [00:14:03] 36 percent of river basins had normal [00:14:06] flow, while extreme droughts and flash floods [00:14:09] alternated across the world, and the decline in groundwater [00:14:13] and the fact that glaciers in all regions are recording ice [00:14:16] loss for the fourth consecutive year are particularly concerning. The consequences are felt in [00:14:20] Europe, where low water levels of the Danube have threatened the operation [00:14:24] of nuclear power plants in Hungary and Romania this year. The United [00:14:27] Nations states that better international cooperation and investment [00:14:31] in early [00:14:32] warning systems are urgently needed. [00:14:41] Savings account, buffer that absorbs [00:14:44] bad years so that a single drought or a single dry [00:14:47] season does not translate directly into a water [00:14:53] the central stories. the 2025 [00:14:57] report is what is happening to that savings [00:15:01] account and the simple answer is that we are [00:15:04] depleting it, we are spending our [00:15:07] reserves. [00:15:16] At the end of the news, let's also look at the forecast [00:15:18] temperatures. [00:15:45] That's all for this news overview, all current information is available on [00:15:49] N1info.B.
