[00:00:19] Dear viewers, good day, I am Marinela Ruškovački and the review of the
[00:00:23] day is starting, here is what
[00:00:24] we are bringing.
[00:00:28] USKOK has published the results of the expert analysis in the case of illegal waste disposal
[00:00:32] in Gospić which confirm serious environmental pollution,
[00:00:35] experts warn that the pollution has already caused permanent
[00:00:39] consequences and that without urgent remediation, further spread and threat
[00:00:42] to human health are imminent. Citizens demand urgent
[00:00:45] reactions.
[00:00:48] So, a man for some miserable money
[00:00:52] sold the lives of us, our children,
[00:00:55] our future, the future of the region. Now it's confirmed
[00:00:58] now I just want to know. When, what,
[00:01:02] here on the how.
[00:01:05] Across Europe, there are still major problems due to historically low river levels and
[00:01:08] high temperatures in some countries and new electricity saving measures. We investigated
[00:01:12] if a similar
[00:01:14] scenario awaits us.
[00:01:17] The Danube near Vukovar stopped ships, it is expected
[00:01:20] that the situation will not improve so soon, in fact, for weeks,
[00:01:24] the port is already suffering
[00:01:25] consequences.
[00:01:29] arbitrary and related to Zlatko Dalić. decided to return to the United Arab Emirates,
[00:01:33] this time as a coach, a contract of 5 million
[00:01:36] euros per year awaits him.
[00:01:52] USKOK announced today, as they stated, due to public interest, the
[00:01:55] results of the environmental protection expert analysis in the case of
[00:01:59] illegal waste disposal in Gospić, in which the
[00:02:02] married couple Šincek is suspected. The published findings confirm that the area
[00:02:06] of the industrial complex is significantly contaminated. The finding that was
[00:02:09] published is truly alarming. There is
[00:02:12] great damage to the environment, but also danger to people.
[00:02:16] Urgent remediation is needed. Residents who have long
[00:02:19] warned that their health is threatened, are embittered, but not
[00:02:23] surprised, they only have one question, what
[00:02:26] now?
[00:02:28] A year and a half after the affair of illegal medical waste disposal was discovered,
[00:02:32] USKOK published the results of the expert analysis on as many as
[00:02:36] 365 pages. The analyses
[00:02:39] showed extremely elevated concentrations of harmful substances such as
[00:02:43] copper, zinc, lead and antimony. The conclusion
[00:02:46] of the expert analysis is that it is a locally significant progressive
[00:02:49] pollution that has already caused permanent changes in
[00:02:52] the environment. It is warned that without remediation, the landfill
[00:02:56] will remain a permanent source of pollution with possible consequences for the
[00:03:00] environment and human health. For residents living near
[00:03:03] the landfill, fear has now received official confirmation.
[00:03:07] I am extremely afraid primarily for my children and for all the children
[00:03:10] of this city, because they did not deserve for
[00:03:14] something to happen that they die in agony, that their parents
[00:03:18] watch their suffering or that something happens to their parents, that is, us,
[00:03:21] that these children live without us. I think that we live
[00:03:25] honestly, that we try, that we definitely did not deserve this, because
[00:03:29] I said the same thing. This was not some kind of disaster that
[00:03:32] you couldn't influence, this is a human act, so a man for some
[00:03:36] miserable money, sold
[00:03:40] our lives, our children's lives, our future,
[00:03:43] the future of the image. The expert analysis shows that the problem did not remain
[00:03:47] only at the place where the waste was buried. In the groundwater,
[00:03:50] downstream from the landfill, PFAS compounds were found
[00:03:54] known as eternal chemicals, while in the water
[00:03:57] from the public water supply system, no exceedances of
[00:04:00] permitted values have been detected so far, but citizens
[00:04:03] fear that the consequences of pollution will not remain
[00:04:06] limited to only this location, the water is as it is,
[00:04:11] rivers and sources and we are not all able to buy it, I and my family, we still
[00:04:14] drink it, eventually we treat ourselves sometimes,
[00:04:17] we buy water and so on, however, it's not just water, where's
[00:04:20] the garden, where's the vegetable patch, where's the m,
[00:04:24] so our crops, where's all that we water with this same
[00:04:28] water and...
[00:04:30] So, every such product, every such fruit or vegetable, we
[00:04:34] consume it again. The published
[00:04:36] findings did not surprise the mayor of Gospić, but
[00:04:40] he says that remediation should be started as soon as possible. What is
[00:04:43] good is that no harmful compounds were found upstream, which means,
[00:04:47] I spoke about it, that the people of Gospić drink
[00:04:50] clean water, downstream certain concentrations of harmful
[00:04:54] compounds were found, however the report says, this did not have
[00:04:58] an impact on... on human health, because this water
[00:05:02] is not used in the public water supply for
[00:05:06] drinking. This is not just a problem for Gospić, this is a problem for all surrounding
[00:05:09] places and for our Senj and for Otočac. And we cannot
[00:05:13] be happy because it goes downstream and someone else will suffer, so we are equally
[00:05:17] worried about all the inhabitants of Lika. The Civic Initiative
[00:05:20] Gospić Our Home has been warning about this case for years, and
[00:05:23] they also organized a protest and they ask how it is possible that no one
[00:05:27] has reacted yet. It is sad actually that to this day
[00:05:31] and they should already tomorrow all public
[00:05:35] health bodies in the Republic of Croatia, from the Ministry
[00:05:38] of Health to the Institute of Public Health Andrija Štampar and all.
[00:05:42] "they must give the citizens of Gospić and Lika guidelines
[00:05:46] on how to behave on these conclusions from the findings of the opinion.
[00:05:49] It is sad that a year and a half from the day the affair was discovered
[00:05:53] there was no synergy of all state
[00:05:56] bodies to protect their citizens, that is their duty, they receive
[00:06:00] a salary for that. Urgent remediation and urgent public
[00:06:03] health instructions to the citizens of Gospić and Lika on how to
[00:06:07] behave, not only Lika and the Croatian islands of Rab and
[00:06:10] Pag, given that they are supplied with water from Lika
[00:06:14] waterworks, from Lika groundwater that
[00:06:17] flows downstream. The publication of the findings caused new
[00:06:20] political reactions. Most announces criminal charges against
[00:06:24] all those who they believe participated in illegal
[00:06:27] waste disposal or knew about it and did not
[00:06:30] react. On August 1st, we announced criminal
[00:06:33] charges that will cover all actors
[00:06:36] who participated in it, from the companies that are
[00:06:40] in the USKOK protocol. to Šincek and
[00:06:43] his resource type, to local self-government, all
[00:06:46] mayors and county prefects who participated in it, and even the
[00:06:50] drivers who received money so that the waste could be
[00:06:53] dumped in Gospić. At least
[00:06:55] 37 tons of waste are still located in the Gospić
[00:06:59] area. More than a year and a half after the affair was discovered,
[00:07:03] not a single kilogram has been removed, after the published expert analysis,
[00:07:06] it is clear that the problem is much wider than Gospić itself. Katarina
[00:07:10] Plantak, N1, Gospić.
[00:07:25] JANAF and MOL have reached an agreement on continued cooperation and signed
[00:07:29] a contract for the transport of 2.05 million tons
[00:07:32] of crude oil throughout 2026,
[00:07:35] Jutarnji list announced. This concluded several months of negotiations between the two
[00:07:39] companies. The contract covers the period from January 1st to
[00:07:42] December 31st 2026.
[00:07:45] It is based on the principle of "fill or pay", meaning that MOL pays for
[00:07:49] the contracted transport capacities, regardless of whether
[00:07:52] it will fully utilize them. The agreement comes
[00:07:56] after lengthy negotiations during which MOL claimed that JANAF's
[00:07:59] prices were too high and
[00:08:02] of the Croatian oil pipeline. JANAF rejected these accusations, stating that
[00:08:06] the prices are transparent and equal for all users. The negotiations were
[00:08:10] further burdened by a political dimension. after Hungary accused Croatia
[00:08:14] of exploiting the situation caused by the restriction of Russian oil transit
[00:08:18] through Ukraine, which the Croatian government rejected.
[00:08:35] It is the peak of the heatwave, Croatia is extremely
[00:08:38] hot today, temperatures are everywhere between
[00:08:42] 35 and 39 degrees, and the red
[00:08:46] weather alert is still valid for the entire country today. Towards the end of the day, in
[00:08:49] the interior of Istria and Dalmatia, with an expected stronger cloud development,
[00:08:53] local thunderstorms are possible, as
[00:08:57] well as in mountainous
[00:08:58] Croatia.
[00:09:03] We will certainly bring a more detailed forecast later in the broadcast. Due to the heatwave, the
[00:09:07] Krško nuclear power plant is operating at 80%
[00:09:10] reactor power today. However. not because it has cooling problems, but because
[00:09:14] the Sava is not heated above the legally permitted level. The
[00:09:18] power plant states that in case of need, it will react again and
[00:09:21] reduce capacity. Croatian electricity company says
[00:09:25] that supply is not threatened by this. Temperatures were extremely
[00:09:28] high across the country today, despite lines
[00:09:31] of unstable weather that will reach us tomorrow,
[00:09:35] we could wait for real cooling even until September
[00:09:39] 1st. Andrej Dimitrijević brings the story.
[00:09:44] As the heatwave further heated the Sava River, the Krško
[00:09:47] nuclear power plant is operating today at 80% reactor
[00:09:50] power, not because it has cooling problems, but to prevent the Sava from heating
[00:09:54] above the legally permitted level. If the current
[00:09:57] hydrological and meteorological conditions continue and further worsen, the Krško
[00:10:01] nuclear power plant will continue to further reduce reactor
[00:10:04] power. The Krško nuclear power plant will operate at full
[00:10:07] power again when conditions allow. From Croatian electricity
[00:10:11] company. they say that supply is not threatened
[00:10:14] by this. HEP continuously monitors the situation in the domestic
[00:10:18] and regional electricity system and manages the production
[00:10:21] portfolio and electricity procurement to ensure
[00:10:25] reliable, safe and stable supply to its
[00:10:28] customers in all circumstances.
[00:10:32] as if they were in an oven, everyone who had to go out
[00:10:35] on the street today felt it, in Zagreb the temperature exceeded
[00:10:38] 37°, citizens are aware that these
[00:10:41] temperatures are not to be taken lightly, I don't go out much
[00:10:45] so I can endure it, how do you
[00:10:48] cool off, at home, I don't have air conditioning, but at home,
[00:10:51] at home, it's not that it's a little hot, but... you have to
[00:10:55] drink water, and so
[00:10:59] do everything until 10, 11 o'clock and that's it, no more
[00:11:02] walking, some, however, do not have that luxury,
[00:11:06] bread must be earned, even in the heat,
[00:11:09] slowly, we cool off with cold drinks and so on in the shade
[00:11:13] under an umbrella and so on, how long have you been here every
[00:11:16] day? until two o'clock until 14, meaning you have to work
[00:11:19] in pretty strong sun in the heat, well, it's 308, so it's not
[00:11:23] easy, and... Atmospheric physicist Grizo Gonjo says that this
[00:11:27] heatwave is a consequence of global warming, but also of atmospheric
[00:11:31] conditions. The climate is not in a stationary state,
[00:11:34] meaning global warming is occurring, which then intensifies
[00:11:38] the effects, especially in Western Europe, Portugal,
[00:11:41] Spain, France, Italy, Greece, even then in
[00:11:45] Croatia, there were heatwaves before, but usually they wouldn't last
[00:11:48] for two weeks, we
[00:11:52] know that Croatia has the biggest general damages. Also from droughts,
[00:11:56] this is now intensifying, he says that because of this it would be wise to invest in
[00:11:59] a safer and stronger water supply system, to better plan traffic and
[00:12:03] to water critical areas on the coast in advance with Canadair planes,
[00:12:06] he adds that in such situations we all need to start from
[00:12:10] ourselves, careful with waste, careful with
[00:12:13] water, don't play too long under the shower
[00:12:16] and plan turning on the air conditioning
[00:12:20] and fans,
[00:12:23] meaning... That then goes into traffic
[00:12:27] and air conditioners in cars,
[00:12:30] transport, simply optimization and wherever
[00:12:33] possible minimization. Meteorologist Lipovčak says that we will
[00:12:37] fully breathe a sigh of relief only for the Feast of the Assumption. However,
[00:12:41] the next two days will still be somewhat cooler temperatures.
[00:12:44] Currently, there is a weakened cold front on the
[00:12:47] northern side of the Alps, it will only brush us with its tail,
[00:12:51] so it will cause a little cloudiness tomorrow.
[00:12:55] afternoon in the northwestern parts of the interior on the
[00:12:59] northern Adriatic, there may be local
[00:13:03] thunderstorms, a little wind, but
[00:13:06] we expect significantly, it is not
[00:13:09] a real front, but there will be lines of instability, but
[00:13:13] that means that temperatures will drop by at most 6°C and
[00:13:16] remain around +30, it is not
[00:13:19] much, but in such conditions it is better than
[00:13:22] nothing. Andri Dimitrijević. N1,
[00:13:26] Zagreb.
[00:13:29] And Hungary and Romania are forced to go further with savings due to
[00:13:32] extremely low river levels, a new decision is to turn off decorative lighting
[00:13:36] in all state institutions at night. Record low
[00:13:39] water levels of the Danube force authorities. To new
[00:13:42] saving measures, Romania has declared an emergency
[00:13:45] situation. Nuclear power plants in Hungary and Romania are operating at
[00:13:49] reduced capacity because water from the Danube is used to cool
[00:13:53] reactors. Hungarian companies.
[00:14:55] this whole current situation, I think this is
[00:14:57] absolutely correct, and I agree
[00:15:00] with it.
[00:15:03] that would suck, you know what i mean? but i don't the nuances, so like let's say that
[00:15:07] like there's actually a good reason for why that the
[00:15:11] city is proposing and there's evidence for that, then you
[00:15:13] know righteous reason triumphs
[00:15:16] over you know just enjoyment of city light on. I
[00:15:20] think this is a very good thing in the current situation, this is a very
[00:15:23] responsible decision and...
[00:15:29] Extremely low water levels of the Danube near Vukovar have seriously disrupted
[00:15:32] river traffic there. The river is so shallow in some parts that
[00:15:36] cargo ships can no longer pass, which has almost completely stopped traffic
[00:15:39] in the port of Vukovar. The water level, according to the latest data,
[00:15:43] has dropped by 73 cm. In some parts of the navigable
[00:15:46] waterway, the depth is just over one meter. Because of this,
[00:15:50] ships are forced to wait for more favorable conditions or reduce cargo
[00:15:53] in the port of Vukovar, they emphasize that there has been no navigation for about ten days
[00:15:57] and warn that if the water level does not increase soon, they could
[00:16:01] lose part of the contracted
[00:16:02] traffic.
[00:16:06] We have the so-called. Mohovo canal, so,
[00:16:09] maybe you could record that there are
[00:16:12] three convoys parked there, threatening
[00:16:15] loss of income, and not a small one, yes, we have
[00:16:19] in the last month
[00:16:23] signed agreements with our business partners for about 200,000 tons
[00:16:27] of goods that were supposed
[00:16:30] to be transported and unloaded in the Port of
[00:16:33] Vukovar, uh, potential revenue we are talking about
[00:16:37] 800,000 euros, mm, two convoys with
[00:16:41] certain types of goods have started from the Port of
[00:16:43] Constanta and are located at some 500, 550
[00:16:47] km, waiting anchored and waiting for a better draft and
[00:16:51] a better Danube, until when will that be, some predictions are that
[00:16:54] it will not be before
[00:16:56] September 1st,
[00:17:02] but those real cargo ships had to stop anyway, yes, either they
[00:17:05] stopped at anchorages or they are... somewhere in other ports waiting for a
[00:17:09] favorable water level, more favorable, right. That is
[00:17:12] the situation with these Austrian ships near Mohovo, which did not
[00:17:16] run aground, but simply decided and realized where
[00:17:20] it was logical to stop. That's right, they were in upstream navigation, they are under
[00:17:24] Serbian jurisdiction, because they sailed from Bačka Palanka towards upstream
[00:17:27] and they estimated that
[00:17:31] passing through the Mohovo canal would be too dangerous due to their greater
[00:17:35] draft, on the navigable waterway we currently have only near... the place Erdut
[00:17:38] two stranded cargo ships that also
[00:17:41] exceeded their draft so they are now there right in the navigable waterway and
[00:17:45] are also waiting for the water to
[00:17:48] rise so they can sail out. What about
[00:17:52] these tourist cruisers? Well, most
[00:17:55] of them, a large majority, have already been canceled, so
[00:17:58] for last and this month, since this situation,
[00:18:02] in Vukovar itself, about 60
[00:18:05] arrivals have been canceled and... and Aljmaš about
[00:18:08] 40, currently we have one passenger ship in Vukovar
[00:18:12] that is also waiting for the water level to
[00:18:16] rise a bit, and in Ilok we have one ship that might sail
[00:18:19] tomorrow,
[00:18:22] and those who have lived their whole lives along the Danube,
[00:18:25] say they don't remember such a withdrawal of the river
[00:18:28] really,
[00:18:31] I mean, they simply can't believe it, I recently when I was here
[00:18:35] and first heard about it when I came...
[00:18:38] I was shocked that it was, why it was, probably it has
[00:18:42] something to do with this drought, right, I think it's all climate change
[00:18:45] and unfortunately I'm a bit pessimistic about that,
[00:18:49] I believe it will be much, much worse in the near future, to run over, not
[00:18:53] yet, not yet, in a few days, we will enter, in a few days if
[00:18:56] it continues like this, that's a problem there and it's
[00:19:00] narrow and shallow all of them are parked
[00:19:03] in Šarengrad mainly and Ilok
[00:19:07] and... This one, it won't leave for another month,
[00:19:10] dana,
[00:19:17] and despite record low river levels due to
[00:19:20] prolonged drought and high temperatures, the supply of drinking water in
[00:19:24] Croatia is currently stable, Hrvatska Vode announced today.
[00:19:27] They emphasize that the water supply to the population is ensured
[00:19:30] even though reduced inflows are recorded at some
[00:19:33] sources. The lowest water levels on the Danube and Drava have been measured
[00:19:37] since. systematic measurements exist, due to the lack
[00:19:40] of significant rainfall, they warn that an earlier increase in
[00:19:44] water levels is expected. Hrvatske Vode states that they continuously monitor the situation on
[00:19:48] take measures to preserve water resources and
[00:19:52] react promptly if hydrological conditions further worsen.
[00:20:09] Tomorrow, two laws will go into public discussion which should increase
[00:20:13] veterans' pensions, a government move announced by Andrej Plenković yesterday
[00:20:17] in Knin for the autumn. Minister Tomo Medved revealed more details
[00:20:21] about the planned changes that should cover about 200,000
[00:20:25] veterans. Through the law on active military personnel, the reduction from
[00:20:28] 2002
[00:20:31] will be abolished, and the law on veterans will introduce a new calculation and
[00:20:34] valuation of the combat sector.
[00:20:39] We still need to abolish the third reduction, the one from
[00:20:43] 2002, and that is why we will through
[00:20:47] amendments to that law on active military personnel.
[00:20:50] authorized official persons abolish
[00:20:54] the reduction of 8 to 20% for those
[00:20:58] Croatian veterans, soldiers, police officers who were
[00:21:01] retired on that basis,
[00:21:04] we will also amend the law on Croatian veterans,
[00:21:08] I remind you what law we are talking about, so we are
[00:21:11] talking about a law that I started drafting in
[00:21:15] partnership with associations on the first day I took over the ministry in
[00:21:19] 2016. year,
[00:21:22] then we corrected many injustices, filled
[00:21:25] many gaps and
[00:21:29] today, after many years of application,
[00:21:32] another amendment to that law follows, this
[00:21:36] amendment will relate to the method of calculation and
[00:21:39] supplements for Croatian veterans who were
[00:21:43] retired under that law. What I will
[00:21:46] highlight as particularly important, here is the occasion... is today
[00:21:52] Mrežnica, where the 14th Home Guard Regiment
[00:21:55] Slunj started to liberate Slunj, is the valorization
[00:21:59] of the combat sector. Every month, spent in the
[00:22:02] combat sector will be specially valorized and
[00:22:06] through the financial calculation of their
[00:22:09] pensions.
[00:22:12] And Medvjed responded to the criticism that came from the Možemo party, saying that their
[00:22:15] legal proposals were
[00:22:19] a smaller number of veterans, and that the government therefore did not adopt them. On the other
[00:22:22] hand, Damir Bakić in our new day pointed out that their
[00:22:26] legal proposals were delayed in parliament, that the
[00:22:30] government ultimately repackaged them and presented them as
[00:22:33] their own,
[00:22:36] but I would say that this is a forced move, it was perfectly
[00:22:39] clear, perfectly clear from all, how to
[00:22:43] say, all indicators from our contacts, we went through in
[00:22:46] our campaign, we went through maybe uh...
[00:22:50] 10 or 15 major Croatian cities, everywhere the echo was
[00:22:54] the same, everywhere we received uh
[00:22:57] extremely, how can I put it, extremely strong,
[00:23:00] open, undivided support for the fact that
[00:23:03] the issue needed to be opened, uh,
[00:23:07] the argumentation, as I said, was never
[00:23:11] defeated and it seems to me that the government had no other choice
[00:23:14] but, and unfortunately that is how it is in our
[00:23:18] political milieu. uh not
[00:23:21] to uh uh constructively
[00:23:24] agree to discuss a proposal that
[00:23:27] came from the opposition, as it never did, though,
[00:23:31] but to say, crush
[00:23:34] that proposal, and then quickly repackage it and present
[00:23:38] it as
[00:23:39] their own.
[00:23:42] Celebrations of the 31st anniversary of Operation
[00:23:46] Storm continue across Croatia today in Petrinja and Slunj, where the Mrežnica bridge
[00:23:49] was named after the 14th Home Guard Regiment Slunj
[00:23:53] which entered there and in Rakovica and Cetingrad
[00:23:56] on the second day of Operation Storm in 1995.
[00:23:59] They also crossed the bridge that enemy forces
[00:24:02] had mined, and the engineers repaired the Mrežnica bridge on the
[00:24:06] night of August
[00:24:07] 6th.
[00:24:14] And in Uzdolje near Knin this morning, a commemoration was held for eight killed
[00:24:18] Serb civilians for whom the Parliament. MP of the SDSS, Anja
[00:24:22] Šimpraga, demanded justice and appealed for a consistent
[00:24:25] condemnation of all crimes and equal concern for all
[00:24:28] victims. This is the only way, she emphasized, towards a society
[00:24:31] based on universal values and not on selective memory,
[00:24:35] she drew attention to the recent decision of the Constitutional Court, according to which
[00:24:39] Croatia, by failing to conduct an effective investigation into the murder
[00:24:42] of these eight Serb civilians in Uzdolje, violated the Constitution and the Convention for
[00:24:46] the Protection of Human Rights.
[00:24:51] And let me immediately emphasize that I am not talking about the past today
[00:24:54] in order to deepen divisions, I am talking about
[00:24:57] the past because without truth and justice there is no
[00:25:01] lasting trust among citizens, there is no full
[00:25:04] democracy and there is no true reconciliation.
[00:25:07] Also, we equally want every crime to be investigated and
[00:25:11] every missing person to be found of all
[00:25:14] 1727 who are of different
[00:25:17] nationalities, including 40 percent
[00:25:21] of Serb nationality, the strength
[00:25:24] of joint commemorations, the arrival of the highest representatives of the state
[00:25:27] was a light in resolving relations, accepting
[00:25:31] diversity as richness, as well as expressing sadness about
[00:25:34] the fact that the Croatian state failed to protect its
[00:25:38] citizens, while on the other hand, Croatian society
[00:25:41] was warned that it must find the strength to admit that crimes
[00:25:45] were unfortunately committed in Operation Storm against Serb
[00:25:48] civilians that should not and did not have to
[00:25:51] happen.
[00:25:54] Zagreb police published details of a serious traffic accident in Botinec in
[00:25:58] which three people died. The accident happened last night around
[00:26:01] 10 p.m. when a 35-year-old
[00:26:04] female driver of a passenger car in Dr. Lujo
[00:26:07] Naletilić Street lost control of the vehicle. The car veered off
[00:26:11] the road and hit a concrete electricity pole with great force,
[00:26:14] splitting in two, literally. A 48-year-old
[00:26:18] passenger died at the scene of the accident, while the driver and
[00:26:21] a 29-year-old passenger were transported to the hospital where they later
[00:26:24] died. The police reported that the vehicle's registration and
[00:26:27] traffic license expired last year. The investigation
[00:26:31] into the circumstances of this tragedy is still ongoing.
[00:26:48] Iran, according to a possible agreement with Oman, could take control of
[00:26:51] ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important
[00:26:55] global routes for energy transport, according to Iranian
[00:26:58] regional sources. Such an agreement would represent a major concession
[00:27:01] to Tehran. significantly changing the balance of power in the region, but the American side
[00:27:05] has not yet commented on this proposal. US President Donald
[00:27:09] Trump stated that the agreement on reopening the strait
[00:27:12] close, but earlier Washington said it would not accept Iranian
[00:27:16] control over that key maritime route. Iran also
[00:27:19] warned Persian Gulf countries that any new
[00:27:22] American attack could trigger a response targeting energy
[00:27:26] infrastructure in
[00:27:27] the region.
[00:27:31] Israeli Prime Minister Ben. Netanyahu rejected the latest American
[00:27:34] proposal for the Gaza Strip, stating that Israel will not accept a plan that
[00:27:38] does not guarantee its security. Netanyahu said that the Trump administration's
[00:27:42] proposal is not acceptable and that Israel has delivered
[00:27:45] its objections to Washington. Although the plan envisions a gradual
[00:27:48] withdrawal of the Israeli army after the complete disarmament
[00:27:52] of Hamas, the Israeli Prime Minister emphasized that Israel's survival
[00:27:56] is not subject to negotiations. In the meantime, Hamas claims to have
[00:27:59] accepted the proposal and called on the United States to exert pressure
[00:28:03] on Israel to reach a ceasefire agreement.

[00:28:09] Two Israeli soldiers were killed in Southern Lebanon, the Israeli army announced,
[00:28:13] while at least one person was killed in Israeli retaliatory
[00:28:16] attacks. The Lebanese Ministry of Health claims this. Yesterday, the Israeli
[00:28:20] army began attacks in Southern Lebanon in response to what
[00:28:23] it called Hezbollah's violation of the truce. Israeli
[00:28:27] local media reported that two soldiers were killed and four
[00:28:30] wounded when an explosive device detonated in the area where they
[00:28:34] were operating in the south. The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced
[00:28:38] that one person was killed in the Israeli attack and at least
[00:28:41] twelve others were wounded. The outbreak of violence coincides with the latest
[00:28:45] round of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon in Rome. The two countries
[00:28:49] agreed in June on a security arrangement brokered
[00:28:52] by Washington, with the goal of alleviating hostilities
[00:28:56] along the border. Israel, however, said it would maintain a security zone
[00:29:00] in Southern Lebanon to remove. Hezbollah groups
[00:29:03] supported by
[00:29:04] Iran.
[00:29:08] Japan today marks the 81st anniversary
[00:29:11] of the American nuclear attack on Hiroshima, which was the first such
[00:29:15] attack in history. From August 6, 1945,
[00:29:17] when the US dropped an atomic
[00:29:20] bomb on the Japanese city, accelerating the end of
[00:29:24] World War II, until the end of that year, from the explosion itself and from
[00:29:28] injuries and illnesses caused by radiation, about
[00:29:31] 140,000 people died. About 50,000
[00:29:34] people from 123 countries, including survivors, paid
[00:29:38] tribute with a minute of silence in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, after
[00:29:42] the peace bell rang exactly at 8:15 AM
[00:29:46] local time, the time the bomb was dropped. The bomb weighing
[00:29:49] about 4 tons killed everyone within 500 meters
[00:29:53] instantly and destroyed 90% of the city. Three days
[00:29:56] after Hiroshima, the US dropped a bomb on Nagasaki,
[00:30:00] killing about 75,4000 people.
[00:30:17] And while the entire Mediterranean is literally boiling at temperatures above
[00:30:20] 40°, and a beach vacation for many becomes just
[00:30:24] a struggle for a little shade. A completely new tourist
[00:30:27] hit is being created. It's about coolcation, or a summer
[00:30:30] escape from unbearable heat to cooler regions, forget
[00:30:34] sun-fried, the hit of the season becomes light jackets,
[00:30:38] raincoats in a backpack at a pleasant 15 degrees Celsius.
[00:30:42] From the Zelenogorsk crater all the way to the far Scandinavian north,
[00:30:45] we investigated why deep shade has become a new tourist
[00:30:49] plus. More to come.
