[00:00:19] Dear viewers, good day, you are watching the news, these are the events
[00:00:22] of the day.
[00:00:27] Healthcare workers in Canton Sarajevo dissatisfied went out to... protests, Minister
[00:00:30] Hasanović rejects accusations, there is no discrimination, we increased
[00:00:34] salaries for everyone, he
[00:00:35] said.
[00:00:39] Protests across France, thousands of demonstrators on the streets, more
[00:00:43] than 70,000 police officers deployed, clashes with the
[00:00:46] police occurred.
[00:00:49] Due to bomb threats, planes were forcibly grounded in France,
[00:00:52] Bulgaria, and
[00:00:53] Belgium.
[00:00:58] The Union of Health Workers of Canton Sarajevo held
[00:01:02] a one-hour protest this morning in front of the Canton Sarajevo government
[00:01:06] building, demanding urgent amendments to the collective agreement, as well
[00:01:09] as the initiation of negotiations for a new agreement that would define
[00:01:12] salary increases for all healthcare employees. Namely,
[00:01:16] on November 2nd, this union was informed that the Union of Doctors of Medicine
[00:01:19] and Dentistry of Canton Sarajevo was approved an increase in coefficients by
[00:01:23] 0.3%, although during negotiations on amendments
[00:01:27] to the collective agreement, it was pointed out that there were no...
[00:01:30] financial possibilities for increasing the basic
[00:01:32] coefficients of job complexity. Minister Hasanović
[00:01:36] addressed the gathered crowd and rejected the Union's accusations of
[00:01:39] discrimination against workers. He added that the union's demands
[00:01:42] must be resolved systematically, but that negotiations are hampered
[00:01:46] by poor mutual relations among the three different unions
[00:01:50] in healthcare. He pointed out that the increase in coefficients
[00:01:53] will be postponed until January 1st, because, as he emphasized, the financial
[00:01:57] maximum for the current year has already been reached.
[00:02:01] "the position of the main committee is to go all the way, we are ready for
[00:02:04] every union
[00:02:07] Mr. Tayloriko step, to the satisfaction of all employees in healthcare, not just one group
[00:02:10] of job complexity, today the government should make a decision
[00:02:14] to give consent to start new negotiations for a new collective agreement,
[00:02:17] also to support what the minister said, that our
[00:02:21] collective agreement should include
[00:02:23] about the quality of what has been negotiated in the sectoral collective agreement, we certainly will not
[00:02:26] give up, next week there will be a protest march, probably a small..."
[00:02:30] blockade, of roads, I,
[00:02:32] through this, call on the citizens of the canton for
[00:02:35] understanding, but we, as a union, are trying
[00:02:39] with all our might to work with the relevant ministry to
[00:02:43] achieve something and to simply make that service
[00:02:46] better, however, they must give us space in every
[00:02:49] respect. In the next year, the collective
[00:02:53] agreement will certainly be expiring, negotiations for a new
[00:02:57] collective agreement will begin, and all three unions will lead the negotiations. "we absolutely
[00:03:00] support, we have shown and I will show
[00:03:03] all healthcare workers and all healthcare
[00:03:07] workers and but we naturally demand and have always demanded
[00:03:10] that they show it through satisfaction, they have the highest salary
[00:03:14] growth among all other categories in Canton
[00:03:17] Sarajevo, that they show it and in their attitude towards patients and towards
[00:03:21] everyone else, yes, we will support their demands, but there is no discrimination
[00:03:24] here, we signed with one sectoral union that
[00:03:28] exclusively represents. that category, we signed with nurses,
[00:03:32] with this general union we sign for everyone, as we have done
[00:03:36] so far, all amendments and all collective agreements and
[00:03:39] all amendments have been signed with the union of workers
[00:03:42] employed in healthcare, and I think that they really should be satisfied because we
[00:03:46] have increased their salaries all this time and we will continue
[00:03:48] with that.
[00:03:53] Next Thursday, a meeting will be held in the federal
[00:03:57] parliament, which could be called preparatory for the constitution. of the post-election
[00:04:00] new convocation of the House of Representatives, the information about holding that
[00:04:04] meeting was confirmed by the co-speaker in the current convocation
[00:04:07] of the House, Mladen Bošković. Asked if the period when the constituent
[00:04:11] session or eventually a date can be
[00:04:14] expected, he briefly replied constitutional
[00:04:17] deadline. According to the rules, the deadline for convening the first session of the new
[00:04:20] convocation is no later than 20 days from the publication of the election
[00:04:24] results. Let's remember, the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:04:27] confirmed the results on November 3rd.
[00:04:30] of the elections.
[00:04:33] The European Union is investing 2 million euros through the Lorai project to
[00:04:37] help local authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina develop
[00:04:40] appropriate mechanisms for using European funds and implementing
[00:04:44] and monitoring reforms on the ground, said the head of the European Union delegation in Bosnia
[00:04:47] and Herzegovina, Luigi Soreca. Soreca participated in
[00:04:51] the fourth meeting of the working group for relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina at
[00:04:54] the European Committee of the Regions, held in Travnik, where
[00:04:58] the role of local and regional authorities in the process
[00:05:01] of European integration was discussed. He emphasized that European integration directly affects
[00:05:05] the daily lives of citizens and that its effects are especially
[00:05:09] visible at the local level. Therefore, it is important to strengthen
[00:05:13] the capacities of these authorities, as well as their ties with colleagues across the European
[00:05:16] Union, said
[00:05:18] Soreca.
[00:05:22] The Hungarian government has suspended the financing of the agricultural
[00:05:24] machinery procurement program for farmers from Republika
[00:05:27] Srpska. This program was part of a hundred million euro aid
[00:05:31] package announced in 2022. In cooperation
[00:05:34] between the then Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and SNSD
[00:05:38] leader Milorad Dodik. The Foundation for Sustainable Development, through which the program was
[00:05:42] implemented, announced that it is suspending the implementation of the public call for
[00:05:45] 2026, after the new Hungarian government
[00:05:49] stopped
[00:05:50] funding.
[00:05:54] The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Treasury Department approved
[00:05:57] companies MOL and MOL Srbija Investment
[00:06:00] (KFT) an additional license regarding the potential
[00:06:04] acquisition of an equity stake in the Serbian oil industry.
[00:06:07] The license is valid until February 28th of next year. This
[00:06:11] license authorizes certain transactions necessary for
[00:06:14] the transfer of securities issued in Russia to MOL Srbija
[00:06:18] Investment KFT and related activities,
[00:06:21] including obtaining certain necessary approvals from Russian
[00:06:24] state authorities, MOL stated. It is emphasized that the license
[00:06:28] does not authorize the completion of a transaction that would result
[00:06:32] in the sale of Russian ownership and control in NIS. The completion
[00:06:35] of the transaction would require separate OFAC approval, MOL added.
[00:06:39] Mola.
[00:06:45] A new wave of strikes and protests organized by all leading trade
[00:06:49] unions, public and private sector workers, and students, has begun
[00:06:52] across France. The streets of Paris, Marseille, and other
[00:06:56] cities are blocked, and clashes with the police have been reported.
[00:06:59] Citizens are protesting against the rising cost of living, the state of
[00:07:02] education, and the government's announced austerity measures to reduce
[00:07:06] planes made emergency disruptions to transport,
[00:07:10] healthcare, and education. Around 70,000 police officers
[00:07:13] are on the ground, while unions warn of an economic crisis
[00:07:17] and government pressure creating a new major political crisis for
[00:07:21] President Emmanuel
[00:07:25] Macron.
[00:07:29] They say everything that many people who are no longer their
[00:07:32] age also think
[00:07:35] education from kindergarten to
[00:07:38] university, that they have a right to respect.
[00:07:42] to be treated with dignity, that it's not young people who
[00:07:46] will have to adapt to a system that exploits them, but that we must
[00:07:49] respect all their diversity, their
[00:07:52] quality, their commitment, well, afterwards, it
[00:07:55] feels like these are mostly very superficial announcements, the 3000
[00:07:58] teachers, that was concrete, but then everything about higher education,
[00:08:01] there was just a replacement announcement but not
[00:08:05] how or why and in 2028, knowing that in
[00:08:09] 2028 they won't even be in power if everything
[00:08:12] goes well, and so yes, it's certainly to be taken with a grain of salt because
[00:08:16] they can announce things but for now there's nothing
[00:08:20] concrete, so listen, it's been 10 years since Macron, so
[00:08:23] we don't expect much anymore, so
[00:08:26] now the working world must mobilize to force this
[00:08:29] government to finally open its eyes and see all the damage it
[00:08:33] is doing and perhaps prepare the elections, the elections to
[00:08:36] say that we need something else, other choices than these ultra
[00:08:39] liberal choices.
[00:08:42] A new wave of false bomb threats has once again caused chaos
[00:08:46] in European air traffic. At least 14 flights in more than eight
[00:08:50] countries were affected, and some planes were urgently diverted. The most
[00:08:54] tense situation was on an Airlingus flight from Dublin to Rome, which
[00:08:57] was diverted to the French military base of Evero, where
[00:09:00] passengers were safely evacuated, escorted by fighter jets.
[00:09:04] A flight from Milan to Warsaw was diverted to Vienna, a flight from London to
[00:09:08] Sofia landed in Plovdiv, while four
[00:09:11] landings at Prague Airport. Threats were also
[00:09:15] reported on flights to Brussels and Bucharest. European authorities
[00:09:18] and the British Minister of Transport confirmed that these were
[00:09:21] malicious false alarms. HDZ review in
[00:09:24] all cases confirmed that there were no explosives, the investigation is ongoing.
[00:09:42] maybe a drone activity or fake bomb hawks right, then you will
[00:09:46] get unruly passengers on board because they don't
[00:09:49] understand, so it's actually a general call to the
[00:09:52] public, be aware that this is happening in the Europe of
[00:09:56] now and that we will have to get used to it for for the
[00:10:00] upcoming years, um, so you know, keep
[00:10:03] calm and do not get
[00:10:06] angry right away, and for airlines, they have to take
[00:10:09] this in account with their planning and group.
[00:10:18] After the heavy defeat of the Republican party in the midterm elections
[00:10:21] in the US, Donald Trump and Vice President J. D. Vance confirmed that
[00:10:25] the war in Iran, accompanied by a sharp rise in fuel
[00:10:28] prices, was the key reason why voters handed control of both
[00:10:32] houses of Congress to Democrats. The election
[00:10:34] defeat caused internal conflicts among Republicans.
[00:10:38] Florida Governor Ron DeSantis compared the results
[00:10:42] to the political equivalent of a meteor strike, while
[00:10:45] pressure is mounting in Congress to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
[00:10:49] due to miscalculations regarding the duration of the conflict. Democrats
[00:10:53] achieved historic victories in traditionally Republican
[00:10:56] states, so from January they will be able to significantly limit
[00:11:00] the military and legislative initiatives of the
[00:11:02] White House.
[00:11:05] So what I can say to you uh is that we've already
[00:11:08] begun the work to begin laying out these
[00:11:11] priority areas and determine how during this
[00:11:14] transition period we quickly began to address them and
[00:11:18] have a plan to deliver in January. Um, I was
[00:11:22] very happy to have a conversation with governor.
[00:11:25] today and it was very good
[00:11:28] conversation and his team is going to be
[00:11:31] available to us to help us uh with an
[00:11:34] orderly transition and a productive transition so I'm
[00:11:38] grateful uh for him extending that
[00:11:41] offer.
[00:11:45] what last night showed us is that
[00:11:48] Americans are tired of being told that their needs are
[00:11:51] unrealistic by politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in...
[00:11:55] country, this country has elected new generation of
[00:11:58] leadership, a generation with a mandate to lower the cost of
[00:12:02] living, to build, not bomb, to never betray the
[00:12:05] working people who entrusted them with power, and hear often that
[00:12:08] the politics that we're fighting for here in New York City are not
[00:12:12] possible outside of city limits, and what last night showed us is
[00:12:16] that working people are the majority, whether we are speaking of
[00:12:19] Austin, or Astoria, and it is
[00:12:23] time to put those same people
[00:12:33] The Institute for Public Health of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed the first cases
[00:12:37] of flu this season. Vaccination of citizens is expected in mid-
[00:12:40] November, and it is free for healthcare workers and other priority
[00:12:44] groups. The Institute states in a press release that the activity of flu-like
[00:12:47] illnesses is currently low. Since the beginning of increased monitoring of respiratory
[00:12:51] infections, 1325 cases
[00:12:55] with flu-like symptoms have been reported, while the influenza virus was laboratorily
[00:12:58] confirmed in four samples. Flu usually starts
[00:13:02] suddenly, and some of the most common symptoms are high fever,
[00:13:05] headache, muscle pain, fatigue, and cough. Symptoms usually
[00:13:09] appear about two days after infection, and this period lasts
[00:13:13] from one to four days. Doctors remind citizens that
[00:13:16] vaccination is the most effective way to
[00:13:19] protect themselves. As every year, we will cover
[00:13:23] the widest possible area that the Health Center can. "And that is in all nine health centers
[00:13:26] of Canton Sarajevo, that is, all nine municipalities and and
[00:13:30] certainly somewhere around 70 or more family medicine clinics,
[00:13:34] mm, therefore our hygienic-epidemiological service already has
[00:13:37] a plan and schedule, what we are recording as a health center, again I say
[00:13:41] there is a significant number of upper
[00:13:44] respiratory tract illnesses, but that is certainly not the flu
[00:13:48] again I repeat, that is in some decline which suits us
[00:13:51] for better immunization so that we can achieve better coverage."
[00:13:55] yes, yes, yes, we have, so here we are ready on our part,
[00:13:59] but we are waiting, I think about 7,000 doses were announced,
[00:14:03] this, but here we will get official confirmation in about ten
[00:14:06] days.
[00:14:11] Until the end of the news, also check out the weather forecast.
[00:14:14] Warm greetings, dear viewers, clouds have been covering most of
[00:14:18] Bosnia since morning, sunny conditions are in Herzegovina, in the southwest of
[00:14:22] Bosnia, where it has been mostly clear since the morning
[00:14:26] hours, all this is because the anticyclone is taking care of the weather conditions,
[00:14:29] keeping cloudy systems away from our regions for now, so
[00:14:33] in the continuation of this afternoon it will remain sunnier precisely in
[00:14:37] the Herzegovinian area, in the southwest of Bosnia, but in most
[00:14:40] of Bosnia it will remain mostly cloudy,
[00:14:44] the dominant wind is from the north and the northeast mainly
[00:14:48] blows with weak to moderate intensity, then that of course also creates the picture
[00:14:52] of temperatures, we expect that from...
[00:14:55] 8 to 13 will be the values in the area of
[00:14:58] the Bosnian part, in Herzegovina the values
[00:15:02] will mostly go up to a maximum of 19. As for the
[00:15:05] weekend which is at the door, if I can
[00:15:09] say so, it will be unstable, there will be precipitation in places, and as things stand now
[00:15:13] most likely during Sunday in the area of Herzegovina and
[00:15:16] Krajina, especially the southern part of Herzegovina, then in the new
[00:15:20] week there will be more and more precipitation,
[00:15:23] more abundant in places.
[00:15:26] News is on the portal n1info dot naba, in this
[00:15:29] news overview, that's all, stay with N1,
[00:15:31] goodbye.
[00:15:54] A new day begins, friends of the Bingo Robne
[00:15:57] Marke show, the price
[00:15:58] difference.
[00:16:11] You are watching New Day, the morning program of N1 Television. Americans sent a clear message
[00:16:14] to President Donald Trump in the midterm elections.
[00:16:18] The Democratic Party took control of the Senate, according
[00:16:21] to projections, and the House of Representatives, ending complete
[00:16:24] Republican control of Washington. Analysts interpret the results as
[00:16:28] a serious political blow to Donald Trump, especially due
[00:16:32] to public dissatisfaction with rising living costs, inflation,
[00:16:36] and the administration's foreign policy. What does the new balance
[00:16:39] of power mean for Trump's last two years in office,
[00:16:42] can Congress limit the White House's moves towards Ukraine,
[00:16:46] Iran, and the Western Balkans? Today's guest is Dr. Jasmin Mujanović,
[00:16:50] a political scientist with a PhD from York University, specializing in
[00:16:54] politics and post-authoritarian and
[00:16:57] post-conflict democratization. Good morning,
[00:16:59] welcome, or rather, good evening to you, and thank you very much for being
[00:17:03] with us this morning despite the time difference.
[00:17:07] Thank you. for the invitation. Before the
[00:17:09] elections, you predicted that America would probably get a divided
[00:17:12] government. Now we see that the Democrats
[00:17:16] won the Senate, according to projections, and
[00:17:19] the House of Representatives, how much did the results confirm, and perhaps even
[00:17:22] exceed your expectations?
[00:17:25] I think they exceeded almost all analysts',
[00:17:28] their results, I mean, we must be very realistic, if
[00:17:32] for example, we could expect a positive result for the Democratic
[00:17:36] party, for example in Texas, because throughout the election
[00:17:39] campaign, really all polls indicated that
[00:17:44] would win, although it is still somewhat of a shock,
[00:17:48] because after all, Texas is an extremely
[00:17:51] conservative state, however, there were some demographic trends that had been
[00:17:54] developing for almost 20 years,
[00:17:58] and ultimately they led to
[00:18:01] this outcome, but at the same time we have these,
[00:18:04] one must really say, simply incredible results. for example in Mississippi,
[00:18:08] in Kansas, in Iowa, in South Carolina, so
[00:18:12] these are some of the most conservative federal states
[00:18:15] in the US, and even there, uh,
[00:18:18] the Democrats achieved very, very serious
[00:18:21] results, and in a few other states where they didn't
[00:18:25] ultimately win, such as in Louisiana and Tennessee, they
[00:18:29] were short by approximately one or two percent to
[00:18:32] achieve truly, in a political sense, cataclysmic. cataclysmic
[00:18:36] results, at least as far
[00:18:39] as the interests of the Republican party are concerned.
[00:18:43] What, in your opinion, was the decisive reason
[00:18:47] for this result, did voters vote for Democrats
[00:18:50] or did they vote more against
[00:18:52] Trump?
[00:18:56] You see, I think what we can definitely say is that this is
[00:19:00] a continuation of similar trends as we saw in
[00:19:03] 2024, that is, that first and foremost
[00:19:06] for voters in the US,
[00:19:10] it was the economy, uh, in the 2024 elections,
[00:19:14] that narrative, that, let's say, fixation
[00:19:18] of voters certainly went against the Democratic
[00:19:22] party, in this cycle, this
[00:19:25] is, well, a huge huge plus for that same party,
[00:19:29] so I think that in this moment, in these
[00:19:32] global and globally economic circumstances,
[00:19:36] it's a simple fact... Similar things we saw in some
[00:19:39] other countries that in this period of about two or three
[00:19:43] months had elections, so this is some global
[00:19:47] wave to some extent and I think
[00:19:49] that probably uh a similar
[00:19:53] orientation will characterize
[00:19:57] the next presidential elections in 2028,
[00:20:01] of course for the Republican party
[00:20:04] now it will be a great and important task
[00:20:08] ahead of them to distance themselves from this president and an agenda which at this
[00:20:12] moment at least seems to have totally collapsed
[00:20:15] and failed in a political sense for all those possible future
[00:20:18] candidates who will seek
[00:20:22] to establish themselves as
[00:20:25] a Republican alternative, uh
[00:20:28] a big, big task ahead of them. We saw yesterday
[00:20:32] on social media, Trump felt the need to announce with a good
[00:20:35] morning and a reminder that he is still'...
[00:20:38] the president in the United States,
[00:20:41] so Trump remained in the
[00:20:44] White House after the elections, but he lost Congress, how much will his
[00:20:47] policies actually be hampered in the
[00:20:51] next two years?
[00:20:54] Well, you see, I think we have to emphasize that this previous Congress, which was
[00:20:58] under total Republican control in the Senate and
[00:21:01] the House of Representatives, is considered one of the
[00:21:04] least productive Congresses in modern
[00:21:07] American history, so the smallest
[00:21:10] number of significant laws were passed during that
[00:21:14] mandate, and now as for, well,
[00:21:18] laws that will... let's say
[00:21:21] be among those laws for President Trump
[00:21:25] to be the key architect, there's practically nothing of that, I mean,
[00:21:28] the President did say that he is somewhat
[00:21:31] ready, uh, to cooperate and negotiate
[00:21:35] with Democrats, uh, maybe there will be a
[00:21:38] need, at least as far as some basic
[00:21:41] budgetary issues are concerned, for some kind of agreement to be reached,
[00:21:45] but in terms of real political
[00:21:48] agenda, there will practically
[00:21:51] be nothing in the next two
[00:21:54] years, what will dominate politics, at least from the side of
[00:21:58] Congress, will actually be those various
[00:22:02] investigations, hearings, uh,
[00:22:05] reports, and so on, about everything that the
[00:22:08] Democrats talked about during the campaign, so, their
[00:22:12] belief that this is a corrupt president, that the people
[00:22:15] around him are corrupt, and even in the context,
[00:22:19] uh... of attention to the Western Balkans region,
[00:22:22] a few weeks ago we had that report published
[00:22:25] by the Democratic Foreign Policy Council
[00:22:29] in the House of Representatives, uh, whose
[00:22:33] key author was Mr. President, uh
[00:22:36] William Keating, which, you know, concerns
[00:22:39] alleged affairs, let's call them that, well,
[00:22:42] we still don't know all the facts, but about
[00:22:46] those accusations that there were some... let's say
[00:22:50] political malversations in the context of lifting
[00:22:54] sanctions for Mr. Dodik,
[00:22:56] the realization of the Southern Interconnection project, that is,
[00:23:00] the embedding of the company A AFS into
[00:23:04] relevant legislation in the Federation entity, so
[00:23:08] these are things that the Democrats will definitely re-examine
[00:23:11] in this mandate, similar affairs in some other countries
[00:23:15] around the world, where it is claimed that Trump's
[00:23:18] family or some close associates had, I repeat, some of their
[00:23:22] corrupt agendas, so that will dominate American
[00:23:25] politics for the next two
[00:23:28] years. So you and other analysts
[00:23:31] have been saying in
[00:23:33] the previous period that the war with Iran, economic
[00:23:36] pressures, rising prices, were a political burden for the administration,
[00:23:40] we can conclude that these very topics decided the elections, how much
[00:23:44] will the Democratic majority actually have room to influence the
[00:23:47] foreign policy of the United States,
[00:23:50] that is, bearing in mind that the president
[00:23:54] still retains key
[00:23:55] powers,
[00:23:58] of course, however, Congress still has significant authority in that
[00:24:02] regard, I believe that we will already in the next
[00:24:06] few days, perhaps even uh, see
[00:24:09] a reaction specifically regarding
[00:24:12] the mandate and leadership
[00:24:15] of Mr. who is the US Secretary
[00:24:18] of Defense, we already have some reports, even from
[00:24:22] uh from some
[00:24:25] Republicans who are terribly outraged at Mr.
[00:24:28] Gax because they accuse him of, you
[00:24:31] know, uh, poor leadership of the military campaign
[00:24:35] against Iran in that war in the Persian Gulf, that it
[00:24:39] actually cost the president and the Republican party their
[00:24:42] dominance in Congress, so it is quite
[00:24:46] possible that Pete Hegseth
[00:24:50] will not be Secretary of Defense
[00:24:53] for long, and I think, probably if
[00:24:56] it comes to that, that he will be removed
[00:25:00] from office either by Congress through
[00:25:03] that so-called impeachment process or that
[00:25:07] uh, effectively, President Trump will fire
[00:25:10] him, whatever happens, I think it will actually
[00:25:14] be just the first of
[00:25:16] a series of departures from this administration that are
[00:25:20] yet to come, because rarely anyone will want to
[00:25:23] stay in an administration that will be under a kind of
[00:25:27] siege, a political siege for these next
[00:25:31] two years, and at least at this moment, I think, let's say, that
[00:25:34] mainstream political logic, although
[00:25:38] I think it's too early to think and speculate like this, uh,
[00:25:42] I mean, the results of the Democratic Party were so
[00:25:45] dominant, historically significant last night,
[00:25:49] or rather, the night before last. Last night, no, not last night, I apologize,
[00:25:52] uh, that probably
[00:25:55] it is already expected at this moment that in
[00:25:58] 2028 some
[00:26:01] Democrat will win the race for the White House,
[00:26:04] to some extent, it might not even matter who it will be, that's how it is, that's
[00:26:08] how their performance was last night, that was their
[00:26:12] success, what were for you, what were perhaps
[00:26:16] personally the most interesting or most unexpected moments
[00:26:19] of these midterm elections in the United States of America? You were here
[00:26:23] listening with great attention
[00:26:26] and watching the speech of the newly elected senator in
[00:26:30] Michigan, El Sayed, and
[00:26:33] the fact that someone of his origin and
[00:26:36] background managed to enter the
[00:26:39] Senate, how surprising is that to you
[00:26:43] and how do you interpret it, I assume you heard his speech, maybe you
[00:26:47] could relate to it to some extent, since you are also
[00:26:50] uh someone of foreign origin
[00:26:53] in America, maybe you could identify with his story in some moments,
[00:26:57] well, you see, I mean, it must be
[00:27:01] emphasized. Mr. El Sayed is a native-born American, although
[00:27:04] of course he has origins from the African Arab
[00:27:08] world. On the one hand, it must also be said that
[00:27:11] he was quite, I won't say, a controversial candidate
[00:27:15] uh because I mean, that was some criticism and
[00:27:19] I think it was mostly malicious criticism from some
[00:27:22] Republicans, uh that quite
[00:27:25] this, I say again, really malicious accusations
[00:27:29] that the man is a terrorist, extremist, Islamist, whatever
[00:27:32] it is, I mean, that's totally absurd, but on the other
[00:27:36] hand, it must be said that he was quite a bad candidate, that
[00:27:40] it is now actually possible that another Democrat in that position would
[00:27:43] achieve a slightly more significant
[00:27:45] result, but then it must still be said that this
[00:27:49] is still a historic event mm the first person
[00:27:53] of Arab and Muslim origin who will be in the American
[00:27:55] Senate, so in the context of a
[00:27:59] let's say pluralistic democratic liberal society,
[00:28:03] it's always desirable to have as many people as possible from
[00:28:06] different, uh, right, from
[00:28:09] different parts of the world, experiences,
[00:28:12] cultures, and so on. As for the bigger
[00:28:16] picture, I will say again that really these results,
[00:28:19] specifically, for example, in Mississippi, where literally every
[00:28:23] vote is being counted or the difference is so minimal, at least at this
[00:28:26] moment, also incredible results
[00:28:29] in South Carolina, then for example if we look
[00:28:32] in Texas, not only did Mr. Talarico and
[00:28:35] the lady win their races
[00:28:39] for the positions of senator and governor, but
[00:28:43] when you look down the, let's say, ballot,
[00:28:47] you see that Democrats dominate
[00:28:50] uh at a simply incredible rate
[00:28:53] of domination, I mean, in a state that until two days ago
[00:28:57] was under absolute
[00:28:59] multi-generational control of Republicans. 30
[00:29:03] plus years Republicans dominated there, in
[00:29:07] the case of Kansas since 1932,
[00:29:11] not a single Democrat had ever been elected at the state level, for example, then
[00:29:14] in North
[00:29:17] Carolina, where I lived a few years ago, so I'm somewhat
[00:29:21] familiar with the details of the politics of that
[00:29:24] state, so Democrats have almost
[00:29:28] taken over all representative positions and...
[00:29:32] at the state level, let's say, at the federal congressional level, so these are
[00:29:36] really, uh, we say
[00:29:39] again, generational, historical successes for
[00:29:42] the Democratic Party, and we will see, of course, what they
[00:29:45] will be able to do with that in the next two years, whether they will be able
[00:29:49] to build some generational political
[00:29:52] movement that will be able to cement their
[00:29:55] results, uh, and victories from
[00:29:58] last night.
[00:30:07] You watched New Day, friend of the show Bingo,
[00:30:11] brand at a price, the
[00:30:13] difference is
[00:30:16] watch Live Day with Dalibor Mrdić.
[00:30:20] Today from 4:15 PM.

[00:30:48] years now, but recently my knees
[00:30:51] started swelling, so and I'm already old, so I'm
