[00:00:19] Good day, dear viewers, you are watching the news, these are the events of
[00:00:22] the day.
[00:00:26] Farmers in the Federation are demanding the declaration of a natural disaster due to
[00:00:30] prolonged drought.
[00:00:33] Today elections in two German federal states,
[00:00:37] coalition government and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz awaits new election struggles while AfD aims for a new
[00:00:41] victory.
[00:00:44] In the largest attack on Moscow since the beginning of the war, two people died, victims
[00:00:48] in a Russian strike on the Kyiv
[00:00:49] region.
[00:00:54] The Association of Farmers of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has again called on all
[00:00:58] cantonal governments to declare natural disasters due to the consequences of
[00:01:02] prolonged drought, warning that the situation in agricultural
[00:01:05] production is becoming unbearable. According to the association, the drought has
[00:01:09] caused great damage to agricultural producers, and yields in
[00:01:13] some productions are more than 50% lower. At the same time,
[00:01:16] autumn sowing is approaching, while prices of reproductive materials and other inputs
[00:01:20] are constantly rising. The association points out that fuel,
[00:01:24] fertilizers and other necessary production costs are increasing, while purchase
[00:01:27] prices of agricultural products continue to fall. They warned that
[00:01:31] if urgent assistance to agricultural producers is not provided,
[00:01:34] a significant drop in domestic production is threatened, as well as mass
[00:01:38] closure of farms throughout the Federation of Bosnia and
[00:01:40] Herzegovina.
[00:01:44] You see, this is the second time we are appealing, and this is the second
[00:01:48] time we are not appealing directly to the Federation, but to the
[00:01:51] cantons. So it would be best if all cantons
[00:01:54] declared a natural disaster, because the bulk
[00:01:58] of those funds that are collected from these
[00:02:01] levies regarding those natural disasters flow into
[00:02:04] cantonal and municipal budgets, and they should actually declare
[00:02:08] a natural disaster, which they are doing for the second
[00:02:11] time.
[00:02:13] The situation
[00:02:15] well, I don't remember it being worse regarding
[00:02:19] these disasters
[00:02:21] like this since spring sowing, since the war
[00:02:25] in Iran when fuel went up, then everything
[00:02:27] went
[00:02:30] to hell. So fuel was four marks, seeds
[00:02:34] were expensive, fertilizers were expensive, in the very sowing. Then came this
[00:02:37] drought, which decimated production, and then
[00:02:40] now fuel is going up again, and when
[00:02:44] it goes up, everything else goes up, and
[00:02:47] sowing is coming.
[00:02:50] The fire at the Razvale locality on Mount Čvrsnica in the municipality of Jablanica is still
[00:02:53] active, but with less intensity and does not threaten
[00:02:56] facilities, reported the Operational Center of Civil Protection of Herzegovina-Neretva
[00:03:00] Canton. Firefighters spent the entire yesterday on the ground and
[00:03:04] a smaller part of the fire above the ski resort was localized.
[00:03:08] Canards and the Republic of Croatia will not
[00:03:10] operate today.
[00:03:13] Police officers of the Department for Serious Organized Crime of the Ministry of
[00:03:17] Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska arrested two people in the Banja Luka area
[00:03:21] on suspicion of having committed the criminal offense of counterfeiting
[00:03:24] money. MR from Banja Luka and Eš,
[00:03:28] a citizen of Serbia, were arrested, it was announced by
[00:03:30] Republika Srpska. During the search, which was carried out on the order of the Court of Bosnia and
[00:03:33] Herzegovina, the police temporarily seized 10,000 euros and
[00:03:37] 10,000 US dollars, which are suspected to be
[00:03:40] counterfeit. Other items and traces that can
[00:03:43] serve as evidence in criminal proceedings were also seized. After criminal
[00:03:47] processing, the arrested persons will be handed over to the acting prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office of
[00:03:51] Bosnia and Herzegovina for further
[00:03:53] proceedings.
[00:03:56] Four children and the driver were injured in a traffic accident
[00:04:00] that occurred on the Mojkovac-Kolašin main road involving a bus that was transporting
[00:04:03] students of a Podgorica primary school. The Montenegrin police
[00:04:07] unofficially said that the traffic accident occurred when a rockslide
[00:04:11] happened, which the driver tried to avoid, and hit
[00:04:15] a rock along the right edge of the road. The driver is from Serbia
[00:04:18] and he was taken in for questioning.
[00:04:21] The director of the Srebrenica
[00:04:27] Potočari Memorial Center, Emir Suljagić, announced on social media, claiming that
[00:04:30] the European Commission had disgraced itself by trying to amnesty Vučić's
[00:04:34] regime from responsibility for organizing the funeral of war criminal
[00:04:37] Ratko Mladić with the highest
[00:04:40] the war as well. They must not state and church honors. If what I hear from Brussels is true,
[00:04:43] Marta Kos plans to meet with Chetnik vojvoda Andrija
[00:04:46] Mandić, otherwise the president
[00:04:49] any kind of aggression against of the Parliament of Montenegro, early next week, says Suljagić. If this
[00:04:53] information is confirmed, it is clear that
[00:04:54] drones and they must not Commissioner Kos is helping Mandić
[00:04:58] Bilino Polje, a place where with her meeting to save him from dismissal, said Suljagić. Let's recall, the Montenegrin
[00:05:02] Parliament should vote on September 24
[00:05:05] on Mandić's dismissal due to the glorification of a criminal convicted of
[00:05:08] genocide, in a telegram that Mandić sent
[00:05:12] to his
[00:05:13] family.
[00:05:18] German Chancellor Friedrich Merz faces the possibility of another
[00:05:22] painful day in today's elections as citizens of two federal states
[00:05:26] head to the polls. Just two weeks after the far-right
[00:05:29] Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved a convincing
[00:05:33] victory in Saxony-Anhalt. Elections in the city-state of Berlin
[00:05:37] and the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
[00:05:41] are the latest in a series of five state elections this year, which have
[00:05:45] exposed widespread public dissatisfaction with Merz's
[00:05:50] fueled serious speculation about his
[00:05:52] future. Voting in both elections began at 8 AM
[00:05:56] this morning, and the first indications of results are expected immediately after the closing
[00:06:00] of the polls at 6 PM based on exit
[00:06:03] polls.
[00:06:06] It is important to think about the future of the country, so what
[00:06:10] issues, yes, certainly the future of all people
[00:06:13] somehow in the federal state and in the large country, that is actually
[00:06:16] important to me, I know that it is interpreted differently by all
[00:06:20] parties, it is totally exciting what one thinks for a
[00:06:23] positive future, that is the key factor, yes,
[00:06:26] but that is from my point of view the most important point, yes, that
[00:06:30] the country needs jobs, good
[00:06:34] pay, the kindergarten-free
[00:06:37] story, I actually don't agree with it, because I
[00:06:41] always think it's from the GDR times. because everything was free,
[00:06:45] that was never so good, so and I also have a lot of
[00:06:48] experience with the fact that the children then don't go there at all, don't
[00:06:52] deregister and that's what bothers me a bit about the matter, but
[00:06:54] nevertheless I would still not choose the other, excuse me,
[00:06:58] therefore, in no case, yes, I would
[00:07:01] like to ensure that our country continues to be stable and
[00:07:04] properly governed, what would be important
[00:07:07] for the country is that we get better
[00:07:10] education, so the schools don't work
[00:07:13] at all anymore, and that this is
[00:07:16] reconsidered, fairer wages,
[00:07:19] affordable rents, especially in Schwerin, it's because of
[00:07:23] the wages, you can barely afford anything anymore,
[00:07:26] yes.
[00:07:29] Russians are voting today on the third and final day of parliamentary elections,
[00:07:32] which are largely seen as a test of public support for President
[00:07:36] Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. The elections are being held for the first time in
[00:07:40] Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions, i.e.,
[00:07:43] Ukrainian territories that Moscow declared part of Russia in
[00:07:46] 2022. Voting in these regions began in late
[00:07:50] August, with the explanation that it was done for security
[00:07:53] reasons. The ruling United Russia is expected to maintain
[00:07:57] its dominance in the State Duma. These are the first parliamentary elections since the beginning of
[00:08:00] the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Critics
[00:08:04] say that the political system in Russia leaves
[00:08:07] little room for
[00:08:08] disagreement.
[00:08:12] First, I had obligations during the previous voting days,
[00:08:16] secondly, I was afraid of falsification, so I deliberately
[00:08:19] came to vote on the last day. Any electronic form of voting
[00:08:23] allows for falsification, there is such a possibility, when it comes to
[00:08:26] paper, it is not easy to change it.
[00:08:30] I always vote, I came to fulfill my duty to the homeland, so to
[00:08:34] speak. I think things are not bad as they are, but we always
[00:08:37] hope for better.
[00:08:41] Ukraine has carried out the largest drone attack on the Russian capital since
[00:08:45] the beginning of the war. At least two people died and six
[00:08:48] were injured in the attack. The Mayor of Moscow said that several drones
[00:08:52] reached the Moscow oil refinery and that one hit a residential
[00:08:56] building. The Head of the Moscow region stated that two people
[00:08:59] died while 400 people were evacuated from a residential building,
[00:09:03] and a large number of houses were damaged. On the other hand, in a
[00:09:06] Russian drone attack on Kyiv, a private house was hit and a
[00:09:09] woman and her three-year-old child died in the attack.
[00:09:15] Iran has sent the United States seven conditions for the start of any
[00:09:18] negotiations, announced the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. So far, he has
[00:09:22] revealed only three conditions, stating that Qatar, as a mediator, has already conveyed
[00:09:26] the demands to Washington, and Tehran is now awaiting a response from the US
[00:09:30] president. If the negotiations fail, he warned that
[00:09:33] Tehran is ready for continued conflict.
[00:09:37] The release of our frozen
[00:09:42] funds and secondly, they must know
[00:09:46] to end the war on all fronts from Lebanon to all
[00:09:49] other fronts and to end
[00:09:52] interfere in the internal affairs of Iran and they must not
[00:09:56] cooperate with the opponents of our revolution and they must stop
[00:10:01] Iranian territory even if it is by
[00:10:07] continue their attacks and they must lift the naval
[00:10:10] blockade. These are the conditions.
[00:10:25] into the capital with ballistic missiles. The attack was intercepted and
[00:10:28] thwarted, announced the Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis. This was the first
[00:10:32] attack targeting Riyadh since fighting escalated between the Iranian-backed
[00:10:35] Houthis and Yemeni government forces backed by
[00:10:39] Saudi Arabia. The Houthis previously claimed, without providing evidence, that they had
[00:10:42] targeted sensitive locations in Riyadh and facilities of the Saudi
[00:10:46] oil giant Aramco. Numerous condemnations
[00:10:50] followed as well.
[00:10:51] Kristijan Božarov brings the weather
[00:10:56] forecast.
[00:10:58] A warm welcome, dear
[00:11:01] viewers. With the anticyclone that has been expanding more and more towards
[00:11:04] our part of Europe over the past 24 hours, it has driven away
[00:11:08] the moist and unstable air from our area, so yesterday afternoon
[00:11:12] there was already more dry and partly sunny weather, and we are spending
[00:11:15] today the same way. However, along the edge of the anticyclone, another
[00:11:19] smaller amount of moister, fresher air is sliding towards our
[00:11:22] area, which will arrive during Monday. Until then, the rest of
[00:11:26] this Sunday will remain dry, mostly sunny,
[00:11:29] with real late summer weather, plenty of sunshine and very
[00:11:32] pleasant temperatures, which will be mostly between 24
[00:11:36] and 29 degrees Celsius this afternoon, in the south sometimes up to
[00:11:40] 31 degrees Celsius. The wind will generally be
[00:11:44] light. In such circumstances, biometeorological conditions are also
[00:11:47] favorable, so neither meteoropaths nor chronically ill people will
[00:11:50] experience any problems. However, tomorrow the
[00:11:55] slightly moister, fresher air will descend, so there will be somewhat more clouds
[00:11:58] with a little rain in some places, primarily in parts of Bosnia, but
[00:12:02] this is not a significant or major change in weather, so most of the new
[00:12:06] week will be marked by alternating sun and cloudy
[00:12:08] periods, mostly dry weather in the south, in Bosnia
[00:12:12] a little rain in some places, somewhat lower temperatures than tomorrow,
[00:12:16] still a few degrees
[00:12:17] cooler.
[00:12:20] That's all for this news overview, thank you for your attention,
[00:12:22] goodbye.
[00:12:45] Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:12:48] and its beauties from another
[00:12:50] perspective.
[00:13:02] Heaven and
[00:13:02] Earth,
[00:13:08] in the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the valley of
[00:13:11] the Bosna River, lies a city whose
[00:13:14] appearance resembles the pupil of an eye, from which, it is assumed,
[00:13:18] it got its
[00:13:19] name.
[00:13:27] Today we fly over
[00:13:28] Zenica.
[00:13:35] The city, with about 100,000
[00:13:39] inhabitants, has for years been a symbol of black metallurgy
[00:13:43] industry.
[00:13:49] It was once just a medieval village, until the opening of
[00:13:52] the ironworks, when this city became a center for
[00:13:56] employing a large number of people from all over the former
[00:14:00] Yugoslavia.
[00:14:06] This economic giant once employed up to
[00:14:09] 25,000
[00:14:10] workers.
[00:14:15] Economic development also led to a huge increase in population,
[00:14:19] which required new investments in urban
[00:14:22] infrastructure, the construction of large residential
[00:14:25] blocks, the expansion and improvement of the communal
[00:14:29] system, the development of transport and the like,
[00:14:32] thus creating the image of Zenica as a gray working-class city.
[00:14:35] The building that originated during
[00:14:49] the golden period of the ironworks is Lamela, which
[00:14:53] was, at the time it was built, one of the largest
[00:14:57] buildings in then Yugoslavia. Its height is
[00:15:11] 102
[00:15:12] meters.
[00:15:17] Next to Lamela is the well-known stadium,
[00:15:23] numerous football matches of the Bosnia and
[00:15:26] Herzegovina national team took place, and with good performances
[00:15:29] in 2013, the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team
[00:15:33] qualified for the World Cup.
[00:15:35] However, Bilino Polje is not
[00:15:40] only associated with this historical moment. One of
[00:15:44] the most important documents of Bosnian-Herzegovinian
[00:15:48] history, the Charter of Ban Kulin, was signed
[00:15:50] at this very place. In
[00:15:54] 189, Kulin Ban
[00:15:57] regulated trade relations between Bosnia and
[00:16:01] Dubrovnik, allowing Dubrovnik merchants
[00:16:04] to trade freely without any taxes.
[00:16:10] The oasis of greenery and favorite promenade of the people of Zenica
[00:16:12] is Kamberovića polje, an extremely large park in the city center.
[00:16:16] An interesting fact about
[00:16:29] Zenica is that after the construction of the main city highway
[00:16:32] and 17 roundabouts, traffic lights were completely
[00:16:36] eliminated from use.
[00:16:55] The central part of the city of Zenica consists of the main promenade and
[00:16:58] the old bazaar. In the old bazaar,
[00:17:02] there is also the traditional Bosnian
[00:17:05] Hadži Mazića house. It is a bey's house
[00:17:08] built in 1835.
[00:17:12] In the
[00:17:18] immediate vicinity of Hadžimazića House, the Austrian fountain stands out
[00:17:21] with its beauty, better known as the Horse
[00:17:24] Fountain, which marked the beginning of the construction
[00:17:27] of a modern water supply system in Zenica.
[00:17:30] The Horse Fountain is one of the most recognizable symbols of this
[00:17:34] city. Did you know that Zenica has
[00:17:43] its own Great Wall of China? Near the Horse Fountain
[00:17:47] is a complex of the city that resembles
[00:17:51] the Great Wall of China in appearance. However, many
[00:17:54] consider it an architectural eyesore because its
[00:17:57] appearance and impracticality diminished the beauty of
[00:18:01] the central part of the city.
[00:18:03] The people of Zenica have always
[00:18:11] cherished theater and are frequent visitors to the Bosnian
[00:18:14] National Theater. The theater building is located
[00:18:18] at the other end of the city and when it was built,
[00:18:22] it was the largest theater building in former Yugoslavia,
[00:18:26] and because of its overall appearance, design
[00:18:29] solutions, and functionality, it represented the best and
[00:18:33] multi-award-winning architectural solution.
[00:18:36] The artistic sculpture
[00:18:40] "Curtain" was installed in the autumn of 1977
[00:18:44] at the entrance
[00:18:46] portal to the Bosnian National Theatre, and its
[00:18:49] author is the sculptor Dušan Džamonja.
[00:18:53] Among the national monuments of Bosnia and
[00:18:56] Herzegovina are the Sultan Ahmed Mosque,
[00:19:00] popularly known as the Bazaar Mosque and the oldest Mosque in
[00:19:04] Zenica. The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed
[00:19:10] Virgin Mary, one of the most beautiful monuments and
[00:19:13] places of worship in this city,
[00:19:15] and the Church of Saint Elijah
[00:19:19] the Prophet, built in 1870
[00:19:23] in a unique architectural
[00:19:26] style.
[00:19:27] This city is known as
[00:19:32] an industrial center, in which the most prevalent
[00:19:36] is the production of iron and steel, and mining
[00:19:39] as an economic branch.
[00:19:41] A very frequent destination for the people of Zenica,
[00:19:49] as a place to escape from the smoke and suffocating
[00:19:53] air, are the Smetovi mountains.
[00:19:56] This well-known mountain resort , which is only 8
[00:19:59] km from the city, is specific for its natural beauty
[00:20:03] and incredible landscapes. At the top of
[00:20:06] Smetovi is an imposing monument to the fighters
[00:20:10] of the People's Liberation War who gave their lives
[00:20:13] in the fight against fascism.
[00:20:16] The monument can be seen from the city
[00:20:20] center.
[00:20:20] In winter, from Smetovi above
[00:20:26] Zenica, only fog and smog can be seen.
[00:20:30] The city is impossible to see,
[00:20:47] and the Winter... Candiles enchant every
[00:20:50] visitor to Smetovi. The story of Zenica is also connected
[00:21:11] to the royal city of Vranduk, 14 km from
[00:21:15] Zenica. The old town of Vranduk
[00:21:19] was built on a rock above the gorge
[00:21:22] created by the Bosna River.
[00:21:35] It has long been called the Gate of Bosnia, while the name
[00:21:39] Vranduk is believed to be derived from
[00:21:42] the word Branduk, meaning to
[00:21:44] defend.
[00:22:01] And that sufficiently speaks about the role that this royal
[00:22:04] city played in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[00:22:24] Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:22:28] and its beauties from another perspective.
[00:22:41] Heaven and
[00:22:42] Earth.
[00:28:07] Sparkasse bank,
[00:28:11] meet our Bavaria family.
