These [00:00:22] are the news that marked [00:00:23] Thursday. [00:00:28] The case of illegal waste in the hospital at two addresses, in [00:00:32] Strasbourg in Zagreb, the European Parliament's discussion on [00:00:35] health protection, in Zagreb the government's scientific [00:00:38] council. [00:00:42] Canada turns to Europe, and Washington threatens, while [00:00:45] relationships with other countries and other parts of Carney talks about a stronger alliance between Canada and the Union, [00:00:48] Trump warns: We will impose high [00:00:51] tariffs. [00:00:54] Fire in KBC Sisters of Mercy. Part of the [00:00:57] patients evacuated, but with quick intervention, a larger [00:01:00] incident was prevented. From Vinogradska they said, no one was [00:01:04] threatened. [00:01:07] One person died in strong storms that hit [00:01:10] areas around Barcelona and Valencia. Water [00:01:14] members of carried everything before it. [00:01:32] The problem of dangerous and illegal waste in Gospić, but also in the whole of [00:01:36] Croatia, reached European parliamentarians today. [00:01:39] However, from the name of the agenda item, it would not [00:01:43] be said, because it was debated on an item titled "Protection [00:01:47] of human health from toxic substances," and while the Greens, who [00:01:50] proposed the item for discussion, say that it was a way for [00:01:54] HDZ to control political damage, the ruling [00:01:57] party responds: "We are solving the problem, and you are spreading [00:02:00] panic. [00:02:04] A half-empty plenary hall of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, but for [00:02:08] Croatia an important point, waste and its disposal. [00:02:11] Arguments from the domestic arena moved to the heart of the European [00:02:15] Parliament. Protection of human health [00:02:18] is neither a left-wing nor a right-wing issue. And that is why [00:02:22] when there is a problem, when there are failures, or when [00:02:26] there are such situations as we unfortunately face in Croatia. [00:02:31] Serious politics solves the problem, it does not [00:02:34] spread fear and panic. Serious [00:02:37] politics brings citizens the results [00:02:40] of remediation, it does not use the fear [00:02:43] of citizens for its plans. The opposition states that it has concrete and [00:02:47] simple solutions, but that the ruling party cannot be trusted. [00:02:50] It is necessary to adopt clear rules according to which a state that does not have [00:02:54] the capacity to use waste cannot then [00:02:57] import waste, because otherwise it ends up in the soil. water, [00:03:01] finally, since the national government has been unable [00:03:04] to resolve this ecocide in the Schengen area for months, [00:03:08] I call on the Commission to monitor this case. Gospić and [00:03:11] Croatia will not be a landfill of the European Union. In Zagreb, [00:03:15] the Prime Minister from the government session accuses the opposition of spreading panic. [00:03:18] His minister adds that a solution is being actively worked on. [00:03:22] The problem of waste exists, uh, [00:03:24] those who caused it will be held accountable in criminal [00:03:28] proceedings. [00:03:30] The health situation regarding the correctness of water [00:03:34] in the public water supply system in the street [00:03:37] is good and the water is correct and can be drunk, [00:03:40] unlike the publicly expressed views of some opposition [00:03:44] representatives. The government has, by decision, [00:03:48] therefore activated the companies Nexe and [00:03:51] Holcim to take over and dispose of, in a legal manner, each [00:03:55] in accordance with their waste management permits, [00:03:58] a total of 650 tons [00:04:02] of non-hazardous waste. We do not see any reason for [00:04:05] alarming the public. We are sorry that this [00:04:08] is happening. Politicians who do this do not [00:04:11] want, they have clearly shown, that the waste [00:04:15] in Gospić be remediated. However, the party that [00:04:20] seconds, the building was drew the attention of the European Parliament to the problem in Gospić responds, it's just about [00:04:24] appearances. In the end, they somewhat succeeded in that, [00:04:28] in a way that... "the case of [00:04:31] Croatia and the case of Gospić are no longer [00:04:35] mentioned in the very title of that discussion, which actually shows that their [00:04:38] goal all along was not to remediate the problem that [00:04:42] arose, but to remediate political damage. [00:04:45] More experienced former protagonists of the political arena say that [00:04:48] they expected more. I expected that [00:04:52] uh, well, the government would react [00:04:55] much faster, that it would react operationally [00:04:58] immediately, nothing." Nothing was done to calm [00:05:02] that fear, nothing serious, nothing concrete except [00:05:05] verbally. That is not enough. At the end of the day, the [00:05:09] Public Health Institute reports that based on samples in Gospić, [00:05:12] both water and food are safe for consumption. Hrvoje [00:05:16] Krešić, N1 Zagreb. The Scientific Council gathered [00:05:31] at the University of Zagreb at 3:30 PM, but as we [00:05:35] know, it is closed to the public. Our Katarina [00:05:38] Plantak is following everything. Katarina, [00:05:41] do you see the end of the meeting and are [00:05:44] statements for [00:05:45] the press planned? [00:05:49] Hello Borna and all viewers, that's right, at this [00:05:52] moment the council is still ongoing, they are still discussing, [00:05:56] statements for the public are planned after the meeting [00:06:00] at 6:15 PM. [00:06:03] This is the first time since its establishment on Monday that the [00:06:07] Scientific Council has met. It has a total of, it has [00:06:11] a president for... the Zagreb rector Stjepan Lakušić [00:06:14] and deputy president Krunoslav Capak, [00:06:18] otherwise the director of the Croatian Institute for Public Health, and five [00:06:22] other members. Today, they are discussing [00:06:24] solutions that they will then send to the government [00:06:28] regarding the remediation of waste in Gospić. [00:06:31] As for Krunoslav Capak, there were criticisms [00:06:35] regarding his appointment to this council from the association, or [00:06:38] initiative Gospić Our Home. [00:06:42] They complained and expressed doubt [00:06:45] about the independence of this body, given that [00:06:48] he is in charge of the Andrija Štampar Teaching Institute, which participated in [00:06:51] findings and [00:06:54] conducted expert assessments in [00:06:57] Gospić, as well as at other locations where [00:07:00] waste was illegally disposed. However, [00:07:03] yesterday Stjepan Lakušić said that this [00:07:07] council is independent, that it consists of experts, that the [00:07:11] government asked them, and they will provide the best and [00:07:14] expert solutions to ensure that illegal waste in [00:07:18] Gospić is removed as soon as possible and to prevent [00:07:21] risks to human health, as well as [00:07:24] further pollution of soil, water, and [00:07:28] air. After this meeting [00:07:31] ends, they will then submit solutions to the government. They said they have studied [00:07:34] all the materials they received from the government. Next week, as [00:07:38] announced by Minister Vučković, on Tuesday, September 22nd... [00:07:42] a remediation plan should also [00:07:45] be presented, after seeing what this [00:07:48] scientific team of experts proposed to [00:07:51] the government, what solutions they have [00:07:54] and uh what they have concluded. As I said, at 6 [00:07:58] hours and 15 minutes, Stjepan Lakušić, [00:08:01] the president of that council, should give a statement, then we should [00:08:05] find out more. So, [00:08:08] we are staying here and uh waiting for [00:08:11] the statement. [00:08:13] Thank you, Katarina, this was live from Zagreb, our Katarina Plantak. [00:08:29] As the President of the European Commission, Ursula [00:08:32] von der Leyen, announced in her State of the Union address, Canada wants to [00:08:36] somehow join the European Union, confirmed Canadian [00:08:39] Prime Minister Mark Carney, regardless of Donald [00:08:42] Trump's threats. Regardless of formal geographical restrictions [00:08:46] for membership, it is the most European [00:08:50] non-European country, as Carney had said [00:08:53] before. [00:08:56] Whatever that marriage was eventually called. Mark Carney [00:08:59] confirms, Canada wants to be with the European [00:09:01] Union. [00:09:07] Associate membership. The [00:09:09] nomenclature, the precise nomenclature is for Europe is [00:09:13] a question for Europe, the the terms they use, I [00:09:16] think uh, what is fundamental as all presidents [00:09:20] of of Europe share, and I believe all parliamentarians, both in [00:09:24] Canada and Europe, take the view as what matters is the [00:09:27] substance, what are we actually building together, how do we combine our [00:09:31] strengths in a way that serve our people better? [00:09:34] Associate member of the European Union, and Canada wants [00:09:38] it, no matter what Donald Trump says about it, they are already [00:09:41] used to threats. "now I think it's laughable, look uh, the [00:09:45] whole thing with Canada, Canada has been a terrible trade partner, [00:09:49] and uh, no, I don't see that, and if they do that, if [00:09:53] I think it's an all hostal act, I will put very serious [00:09:56] tariffs or stop trading with Europe on many [00:10:00] things, so if they do that, if Europe does that with a [00:10:03] bad intention, if it's a good intention, that's fine, if it's [00:10:07] a bad intention, [00:10:10] empty threat, Carney has already shown." [00:10:12] that he will not kneel before Trump, but his goal is certainly not conflict, [00:10:16] but more options for Canada. Together, the European Union and [00:10:20] Canada are [00:10:20] stronger. [00:10:55] So for us in Europe we need to be taking advantage of [00:10:59] while we've got partners and friends who are democratically aligned [00:11:03] who share many of the same values and cultural traditions. I think it's [00:11:07] great to develop trade [00:11:10] the world. I think we're a little bit behind in developing some of our natural [00:11:14] resources to offer these products to sell to them. I think that they would love to have our [00:11:18] products if we were able to deliver them like natural gas across the [00:11:21] Atlantic. Canada's trade is 10 times greater with [00:11:25] the United States than with the European Union. Europe cannot [00:11:28] change that dependence, but it can gradually reduce it and [00:11:32] strengthen Carney's leverage in a clash with Trump if [00:11:35] a total conflict does not occur. [00:11:52] Canada wants to be an associated member, even though [00:11:55] such a status formally does not yet exist, and the [00:11:59] existing comprehensive agreement with the European Union is in a regime of [00:12:03] provisional application because 10 member states have not yet [00:12:07] ratified it. There will be no shortage of skepticism for this marriage, but [00:12:10] Canada is not the last overseas country with European roots that [00:12:14] could go the same way. Bizarrely or not, some members [00:12:18] of the British Commonwealth could at least put one foot in the European [00:12:21] Union, after Britain has already jumped out with both feet. Ivan Hrstić. [00:12:25] N1. [00:12:28] The establishment of a Security Council that would gather, in addition to the member states of the European [00:12:32] Union, also Great Britain, Canada, Norway [00:12:35] and Ukraine, was commented on in our new day by foreign policy [00:12:39] analyst Božo [00:12:40] Kovačević. [00:12:43] Work continues on establishing strategic [00:12:46] autonomy. The time of Biden's mandate has actually [00:12:50] failed, as far as that aspect of the European Union's [00:12:54] operations is concerned, because Europeans believed that Trump would no longer [00:12:57] return to power and that relations between [00:13:01] Europe and the United States would be [00:13:04] more or less as they were before, however that did not [00:13:08] happen. Now it is uh [00:13:11] a necessity for the European Union, if it wants to be an autonomous [00:13:14] player in the system of international relations, to be able [00:13:18] to defend [00:13:20] itself. [00:13:32] The student movement before the elections in Serbia began a [00:13:35] cycling action "Guardians of the Constitution", which they will continue [00:13:39] in the coming days throughout Serbia with the message that the constitution must apply [00:13:43] equally to everyone everywhere. That is why the Constitution [00:13:46] travels through Serbia from Belgrade to Vojvodina, from Belgrade to the south [00:13:50] of Serbia, through cities where citizens will meet, [00:13:53] talk, and leave their signatures, said the [00:13:57] students who set off by bicycle on a journey from Belgrade all the way to [00:14:01] Kragujevac. [00:14:04] We have the opportunity, during these 10 days that we will be cycling, [00:14:08] to pass through almost all places in Serbia, to cover as [00:14:11] large an area as possible, so that as [00:14:15] many citizens hear about us, but not only [00:14:18] hear, but also see us. Torrents [00:14:21] carry cars, roads are under water, and the [00:14:25] hospital is flooded. A severe storm hit Barcelona and [00:14:28] Valencia. Near Barcelona, a 48-year-old [00:14:32] man died after his car was swept away by a torrent. Water entered parts of hospitals, [00:14:36] numerous roads are closed, public transport is delayed, and [00:14:39] flights are being canceled. In parts of Catalonia, a red [00:14:42] warning is in effect, with over 90 [00:14:46] liters of rain per square meter falling [00:14:49] in some places. [00:14:55] de de l'hospital infantil uns uns [00:14:58] desaigües d'evocadors d'alguns sostres que han cedit, però [00:15:02] eren zones eh, de comunes de treball que no hi havia ningu. [00:15:18] After a few nights of pause, Russia again launched [00:15:21] missile attacks on Ukraine. According to military sources, about [00:15:25] six Zircon missiles were fired at Kyiv. Residential and commercial [00:15:29] buildings and a warehouse were damaged, and at least 11 people were [00:15:32] injured. Water supply was cut off in parts of the [00:15:35] city. Ballistic missiles also attacked Dnipro and [00:15:38] Zaporizhzhia. At the same time, Ukraine attacked targets in Russia [00:15:42] with drones, including Rostov and Yaroslavl, [00:15:45] which temporarily restricted traffic at several Russian [00:15:49] airports. [00:15:52] Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov commented on [00:15:55] the statements of European leaders about the need to prepare for a possible war [00:15:59] with Russia. He reiterated that Moscow, as he said, [00:16:03] has no intention of attacking Europe. [00:16:07] We [00:16:37] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Russian Ambassador [00:16:40] to Croatia, Alexander Nurizade, for [00:16:44] talks due to a series of security incidents in European Union [00:16:47] member states. The Ministry condemned violations of airspace [00:16:50] and territorial waters, as well as drone incidents in [00:16:54] several European countries, as well as [00:16:56] the intensification of Russian hybrid activities. Russia was called [00:17:00] upon to respect the sovereignty of Union members and prevent [00:17:04] further security risks. Nurizade rejected [00:17:07] the accusations as unproven and stated that it was a [00:17:10] coordinated provocation aimed at further [00:17:14] worsening relations with Russia. [00:17:27] US President Donald Trump says he hopes for a speedy end [00:17:31] to the war with Iran, which has entered its seventh month. He claims [00:17:34] that Tehran wants to reach an agreement and that he received [00:17:38] a direct message from Iran, but he did not disclose its [00:17:41] content. Trump is expected to meet with leaders of [00:17:44] Persian Gulf countries on the sidelines of the UN General [00:17:48] Assembly in New York on Tuesday. According to Axios, [00:17:51] they will discuss American plans for the post-war [00:17:54] period. The conflict began in late February with US-Israeli [00:17:58] attacks on Iran, after which Tehran retaliated with attacks on [00:18:01] Israel and US bases in [00:18:03] the Gulf. [00:18:17] The UN fact-finding mission on Iran claims that [00:18:21] there are reasonable grounds for believing that the United [00:18:24] States committed war crimes in two attacks on civilian facilities [00:18:28] in Iran. In the attack on a school in Minab, according to Iranian [00:18:31] data, more than 150 people were killed, including about [00:18:35] 120 children. The mission also considers the [00:18:39] attack on the sports center in Lamerd a war crime. At the same time, it [00:18:42] concluded that Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity, [00:18:46] including unlawful killings, torture, and arbitrary [00:18:49] arrests during the suppression of anti-government [00:18:53] protests. The US and Iran have not yet [00:18:56] commented on the new report. [00:18:59] At least 21 people, among them eleven children and [00:19:03] six women, died in the collapse of a six-story building [00:19:07] in the city of Gaza. More than [00:19:09] 25 people were injured. The building, [00:19:13] previously severely damaged in Israeli attacks, was a [00:19:16] shelter for about a hundred displaced Palestinians. [00:19:19] Rescuers pulled 45 survivors [00:19:23] during the sixteen-hour operation, while desperate residents searched the rubble with their bare hands. [00:19:38] beside the building which collapsed, meaning [00:19:41] the tent was three meters away from the building, [00:19:43] exactly. So this building had been [00:19:47] for some time, stones were falling from it and people didn't take it [00:19:50] into consideration. Suddenly, at 3:10, [00:19:54] the building collapsed completely. In less than 10 [00:19:58] on the ground. The United Nations estimates that [00:20:01] at least 8 bodies are still buried under the rubble [00:20:05] in the Gaza Strip. Since the ceasefire in [00:20:07] October last year, Palestinian civil defense has recovered [00:20:11] more than 800 bodies, and the UN warns that at the current [00:20:15] pace, the search could take at least another 10 years. [00:20:19] The UN Human Rights Office claims that Israel is restricting [00:20:22] the entry of heavy machinery, expert personnel, and identification equipment. [00:20:38] where that were pulverized by Israeli [00:20:40] attacks, the remains recovered so far may only [00:20:44] be the tip of the iceberg, much [00:20:47] of gaza has been flattened by Israel [00:20:56] The United States refused to issue a visa to Palestinian President [00:20:59] Mahmoud Abbas for participation in the UN General [00:21:03] Assembly in New York. The State Secretary claims that visa sanctions [00:21:06] against Palestinian officials were extended due to their attempts to [00:21:10] internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as they state, [00:21:14] by initiating proceedings against Israel before [00:21:17] International Courts. For the second [00:21:21] consecutive year, Abbas will not personally address world leaders. [00:21:25] The General Assembly should vote on allowing him to [00:21:28] address via video link. Palestinian authorities called [00:21:32] the American decision detrimental to relations with the US [00:21:35] and efforts to achieve a two-state solution. [00:21:50] The mother of a three-year-old child, severely injured in a fire in Zadar, [00:21:54] has been ordered into investigative detention due to the risk of repeating the criminal [00:21:58] act. The prosecution suspects the 36-year-old [00:22:01] of violating the child's rights and endangering [00:22:05] life and limb. The child was alone in the apartment at the time of the fire [00:22:08] and suffered severe burns on between [00:22:12] 40 and 60% of the body, as well as injuries to the [00:22:15] respiratory tract. Critically endangered, the child was transferred to the children's [00:22:18] hospital in Zagreb. The investigation determined that the fire [00:22:22] was caused by a short circuit in the extension [00:22:24] cord. [00:22:28] British media reported on the dramatic moments that [00:22:32] tourists experienced during recent fires on [00:22:35] Brač. They claim that as the fire approached a [00:22:38] resort where they were, some sought salvation [00:22:42] by jumping into the sea and boarding [00:22:44] boats. Some guests accuse the hotel staff of leaving [00:22:48] them without help. The hotel rejects this, saying [00:22:51] they stayed until the last moment. Slovenian [00:22:55] tourists who were also at the resort at the time of the fire [00:22:59] have no complaints. [00:23:01] There was no information because there was no one on the [00:23:04] loudspeaker or to turn on some [00:23:08] lights. Listen, the hotel staff reacted [00:23:12] well. Firefighters, well, [00:23:15] firefighters too. Yes, in such a situation it's difficult, [00:23:19] not everything. [00:23:21] but no one was harmed, [00:23:25] everyone is alive, that's the most important thing, yes, [00:23:28] yes, we two have [00:23:31] no complaints about [00:23:34] that, guests received [00:23:38] information at the same time as us, [00:23:40] meaning, the reception manager immediately activated the alarm [00:23:44] and employees, [00:23:48] meaning our uh... "The head chef, he was the last [00:23:51] one at the resort, was on the last boat helping [00:23:55] firefighters to board people, also before [00:23:58] that, searching for people in the settlement. It was a panicked [00:24:01] state, everything around us was burning, it came with [00:24:05] such speed, that it was a natural disaster, in three minutes [00:24:09] everything was burning, [00:24:12] absolutely everything around our [00:24:15] resort was burning, and thank God that nothing [00:24:19] happened to anyone." So, we were busy at that [00:24:22] moment preventing greater [00:24:25] damage, turning off the gas so that there would be no [00:24:28] explosion. [00:24:31] Firefighters claim that the evacuation of guests by land was not [00:24:35] possible because when they arrived, the resort was already surrounded [00:24:38] by fire, all exit routes were cut off. That is why [00:24:41] they say they pulled guests back into the hotel and closed the building to protect [00:24:45] them from smoke and heat while firefighters defended it from the outside. [00:24:49] The fire spread extremely quickly, the parking [00:24:53] lot was already engulfed, and vehicles exploded. [00:24:56] The biggest problem with this whole story is that people confuse the concepts [00:25:00] of evacuation and rescue. Evacuation [00:25:03] is a safe, organized, calm departure from a threatened facility before the danger itself. [00:25:07] The moment we arrived at the scene, [00:25:11] Gava was already surrounded by fire, meaning the fire directly threatened Gava and all [00:25:15] the surrounding nature. And the evacuation [00:25:19] itself could not be carried out due to the extremely rapid spread [00:25:23] of the fire. As soon as we approached the Gava resort, we concluded that [00:25:26] it was impossible to evacuate civilians from the resort [00:25:30] precisely because all roads were [00:25:32] cut off. [00:25:35] Five new specialized vehicles for fighting forest fires [00:25:39] were received by fire departments in Metković, Biograd and [00:25:42] Samobor, as well as volunteer fire departments, Bilje and Bilice. Vehicles with [00:25:46] all-wheel drive are intended for interventions [00:25:50] on demanding terrains. A total of [00:25:53] 78 such vehicles have been contracted. Chief Fire [00:25:56] Commander Slavko Tucaković said that this further [00:26:00] strengthens the operational capabilities of firefighters. [00:26:04] The value of each vehicle is 282 [00:26:07] thousand euros, what does that mean, it means an increase in the operational [00:26:11] readiness and mobility of our fire [00:26:14] departments. I always hope they won't be used, but we saw [00:26:18] this year a large number of fires and these vehicles have already [00:26:21] been to all fire sites, they show [00:26:24] themselves, well, as forest fire vehicles, that they will certainly be needed in the [00:26:28] future. [00:26:41] President Zoran Milanović hosted the 11th Diplomatic Harvest in [00:26:45] Plešivica, which gathered the heads of diplomatic missions [00:26:48] of international organizations in Croatia. Despite the rain, [00:26:51] diplomats tried their hand at grape harvesting and socialized with [00:26:55] local winemakers. The event promotes [00:26:58] Plešivica, its winemaking tradition, and local [00:27:01] producers. The president left without a statement [00:27:04] to reporters. [00:27:10] They also good opportunity for contacts with the [00:27:13] Croatiam [00:27:17] the administration and also of course with the president of the [00:27:20] republic uh so for us it's very important to have [00:27:24] formal and informal events, they both go [00:27:27] together. So last but not least, German or Croatian [00:27:31] wines? Both, both. [00:27:42] After two years of work, part of the campus of the Faculty of [00:27:46] Electrical Engineering and Computing in Unska Street has been renovated. [00:27:49] The renovated buildings were officially opened, and employees received [00:27:53] more modern classrooms, laboratories, and workspaces [00:27:56] of about 18.4 [00:27:59] meters. The renovation is worth more than 70% of [00:28:02] a million euros. [00:28:05] We are very satisfied with the opportunity we had to invest such [00:28:09] a large amount in the renovation [00:28:12] of these two buildings. We have received, of course, earthquake-resistant [00:28:16] buildings. We have received more energy-efficient buildings. We have received [00:28:19] buildings that function with renewable energy [00:28:23] sources. We have also received [00:28:27] much better fire protection than these buildings [00:28:30] had. [00:28:37] And the government approved the city of Split to use state land in [00:28:41] Stobreč, where a new Hajduk camp should [00:28:43] be built. The project is planned on a plot of almost [00:28:47] 72.4 meters, whose value is [00:28:50] estimated at 8.7 million euros. The city of Split [00:28:54] will be granted the right to build for 50 years, and will not have to [00:28:58] pay a fee that would otherwise amount to almost 6 million [00:29:01] euros. In addition, Split will be able to transfer the building right [00:29:05] through a public tender.TELEVISION NEWS TRANSCRIPT: but the land may [00:29:08] only be used for the planned football camp. From the moment [00:29:12] the contract is signed, a five-year period begins [00:29:16] in which the project must be realized. [00:29:31] We have also reached sports. Antonio
