[00:00:25] in the municipality of Táboa, the risk of fire on the mainland remains at
[00:00:29] maximum or very
[00:00:31] high,
[00:00:35] fuels will be more expensive tomorrow, diesel breaks new
[00:00:39] record in
[00:00:39] Portugal,
[00:00:45] far-right far-left with victories in the German regional elections,
[00:00:48] Merz's CDU falls to historic
[00:00:50] lows.
[00:07:28] tomorrow, the price of diesel breaks new record in
[00:07:31] Portugal,
[00:07:39] the fire in Tabua district has entered the resolution phase. The
[00:07:43] alert was given early in the afternoon and the fight involved
[00:07:46] 400 firefighters and nine aerial means, the fire advanced
[00:07:50] through the villages of Mouronho and Pousadouros, the situation
[00:07:54] is now calmer, but before the arrival of the firefighters, only the
[00:07:57] popular efforts managed to save
[00:08:00] houses that were threatened by
[00:08:03] the fire,
[00:08:05] it was all very fast, the flames started very high here
[00:08:09] about I don't know, 500 meters or so... we got a
[00:08:12] bit scared, and we went into a bit of a panic, we saw a house there, it must
[00:08:16] have been an ember from a eucalyptus, it was, it was
[00:08:19] ugly, it started to burn well and we had time to put it out with
[00:08:23] the cisterns we have here in the village and then we went there to put it out
[00:08:27] with shovels to put earth, that's what it was, I was just watering
[00:08:30] our house because of the embers that are potential to go to our house
[00:08:33] and water it and wet the house to keep it
[00:08:37] cool, just a problem,
[00:08:39] we go live now to the municipality of Tábuas where Paulo José
[00:08:43] Oliveira and Paula Costa are. Good afternoon, Paula, it was a very
[00:08:47] difficult afternoon in
[00:08:48] Coimbra.
[00:08:52] Very difficult, Ana, especially because it wasn't just this
[00:08:55] fire that was raging here, eh, in this municipality of
[00:08:58] Tábuas where we are, there was, at the same time
[00:09:01] also another fire in
[00:09:04] Cantede, eh, and also
[00:09:07] the aftermath
[00:09:09] of the fire of the last few hours. in Arganil
[00:09:13] that joined Vila Nova de Poiares and all this
[00:09:16] ended up making the means
[00:09:20] have to be dispersed to these points, it was a very
[00:09:23] complicated strategy, but even so around 6:30 pm
[00:09:27] it was possible to enter
[00:09:31] into the resolution phase, eh
[00:09:34] affirmative, around 6:30 pm we consider the fire denominated to start consolidation and aftermath
[00:09:38] work with operations of... with the help of
[00:09:41] crawler machines and personnel on the ground and
[00:09:44] that was also due to the support of the means and the strong mobilization of
[00:09:48] ground means from the municipality of Tábuas and the region here of the sub-regional command that
[00:09:52] eh in view of what was happening managed to project here various means
[00:09:55] to various points of the country which allowed us to resolve the
[00:09:59] situation, even so 10 aerial means
[00:10:02] were operating here, yes it wasn't all at the same
[00:10:05] time but effectively there was a very great commitment of
[00:10:09] aerial means and of course this is a concerted action between land. the air eh
[00:10:13] if it was possible to resolve this fire, that is living proof because
[00:10:16] the firefighters alone also don't put out fires and it is necessary to have people on the ground to continue
[00:10:20] the work here it went 100%. this village was really
[00:10:24] with... with the flames effectively surrounded, they
[00:10:28] entered through the forest area then it evolved
[00:10:31] to the vineyards, to the
[00:10:34] crops, to the backyards and it was very
[00:10:38] complicated, the village itself was never in danger, we had two villages
[00:10:42] at the head of the fire, of course this caused some panic among the population because
[00:10:45] there was even a party here today this weekend in this village and a
[00:10:49] village had perhaps three or four times more population than
[00:10:53] usual normal which causes some problems. in people we managed to manage the civil
[00:10:56] municipal corporation with the GNR which also mobilized a series of means eh even in the villages
[00:11:00] that were at the head of the fire, in the line of fire, but the fire did not reach there, we managed
[00:11:04] to place more also to give some calm to the populations to feel
[00:11:07] safe, because the fire was very intense, the wind was very strong, there were many
[00:11:10] projections, but the work was extremely
[00:11:14] effective. thank you very much, commander, and now there is
[00:11:17] the aftermath, this arduous work that will continue in the
[00:11:21] coming hours, also to say that the population was essential. for
[00:11:25] the alert, but then in this initial attack they were
[00:11:28] helping in any way they could, with hoses, with
[00:11:32] tractors, with small branches, eh, everyone
[00:11:36] mobilized so that these eh flames
[00:11:39] would not progress precisely
[00:11:43] towards the homes. Thank you,
[00:11:46] Paula Costa, so now a control work already in
[00:11:49] resolution, this fire that was being fought in the afternoon
[00:11:53] was brought under control.
[00:11:55] The fire that spread to three municipalities yesterday, started in Arganil in the middle
[00:11:59] of the afternoon and threatened
[00:12:00] populations. The situation became
[00:12:04] complicated in the village of Saboga in the municipality of Vila Nova de
[00:12:07] Poiares. The firefighters strategically positioned
[00:12:11] themselves next to the populations to stop the fire. We had many
[00:12:15] houses eh where the flames hit the walls
[00:12:18] of the houses, but with the help of firefighters and
[00:12:21] the locals we managed to ensure that no house was damaged.
[00:12:25] During the night, the increase in humidity and the drop in
[00:12:28] temperature allowed the flames to be controlled. In the early
[00:12:32] hours of the day, by land and air, the priority
[00:12:36] was to monitor hot spots. We have had a reactive
[00:12:39] hour. These reactivations will be dealt with as quickly
[00:12:42] as possible, eh, because that is our objective at this moment, when
[00:12:46] the wind decreased a little, there were no longer any projections and
[00:12:50] we started fighting immediately in those locations, and it was fundamental to
[00:12:54] manage to control the fire. Still on alert with eyes
[00:12:57] on the mountains, Sérgio Santos calculates the
[00:13:00] damages, we preserve the forest, we work in the
[00:13:03] forest and to reach the end with
[00:13:07] this result, now what do we do with this wood, it seems to me that it has
[00:13:11] little value because this wood now ah
[00:13:14] only in another two or three years will we be thinking, you understand
[00:13:18] because they are still young trees, they are not adult, this is still worth little or
[00:13:22] nothing, it is sad, look at just one piece of wood that I
[00:13:25] had cut there to take away, it was about three trucks,
[00:13:29] during the afternoon and with the thermometers reaching
[00:13:32] 36 degrees, the operators remained on
[00:13:35] the ground, opening paths to reach
[00:13:38] difficult access areas and carried out cooling
[00:13:41] work. The fire that started on Saturday in Arganil affected
[00:13:45] two more municipalities, Vila Nova de Poiares and Góis, three
[00:13:49] firefighters were injured, not seriously, on the ground, more than
[00:13:52] 800 operators were present.
[00:13:57] Practically the entire mainland territory will continue tomorrow with maximum
[00:14:00] or very high risk of fire. The maximum alert
[00:14:04] applies mainly to the central region of the country, as
[00:14:07] we can see in this map, only the district of
[00:14:11] Setúbal and some municipalities of the district
[00:14:14] and the northern coast present a moderate risk of fire this
[00:14:18] Monday. IPMA forecasts indicate a rise in temperatures that in
[00:14:22] the interior of the country should even be close to.
[00:14:27] The September heat is here to stay, IPMA's
[00:14:30] forecasts indicate a rise in temperatures in the coming
[00:14:34] days that in the interior of the country should even approach
[00:14:38] 40 degrees. We already observed today
[00:14:41] 38 degrees in the district of Coimbra, in the interior area of the district
[00:14:44] and the trend is for these temperatures to persist
[00:14:48] during the next few days and in Alentejo from
[00:14:50] Tuesday, or rather on Tuesday and Wednesday, very close to
[00:14:55] 40 degrees should already be reached, in the Tagus Valley area, eventually
[00:14:58] some point in the Douro Valley also the temperature will rise
[00:15:02] to very close to 40 degrees. The temperatures are high and are
[00:15:05] above average for the end of September, this
[00:15:09] leads to configuring a heat situation. Although the
[00:15:13] calendar officially closes summer on September 21, the
[00:15:17] forecasts show that it is far from over. From this
[00:15:20] Monday, 12 districts have a yellow weather warning
[00:15:24] due to heat in the coming days it should be
[00:15:28] territory, increased concerns about the risk of
[00:15:32] fire which will be very high to maximum
[00:15:35] North, Center, Alto Alentejo.
[00:15:39] We are at the time of year when the risk of fire is highest
[00:15:42] and greatest, simply due to the fact that the
[00:15:46] crops are dry, if we add the atmospheric
[00:15:49] humidity, the air humidity also very low some
[00:15:53] wind and high temperatures, the situation is very dangerous for the start of
[00:15:57] forest fires and then difficult to combat. If
[00:16:00] IPMA forecasts are confirmed, the country will
[00:16:03] face a heat wave, the most
[00:16:06] vulnerable groups should therefore avoid sun exposure
[00:16:09] and ensure proper hydration.
[00:16:11] Fuels have never been so expensive in
[00:16:13] Portugal, from tomorrow the price will rise again. A liter of diesel will cost
[00:16:17] 6.5 cents more, and gasoline 5
[00:16:21] cents
[00:16:23] more.
[00:16:26] Refuel, see the bill and start making
[00:16:29] calculations. Look, it's like this, I currently paid
[00:16:32] €107. I used to pay approximately
[00:16:35] €75-80 for a full tank of gas.
[00:16:38] I think it's inadmissible, we have to save money elsewhere to put in fuel, the car needs
[00:16:42] to run every week, it's saving money in some places to spend it in others, the
[00:16:45] weekly increase has become a routine and perhaps that's why it no
[00:16:49] longer means a rush to the pumps on Sunday,
[00:16:53] unfortunately we when it increases tomorrow,
[00:16:56] then it increases the next day, then it increases the next day, we don't even know
[00:17:00] this, we come when we need it, of course it seems that it
[00:17:03] doesn't end, it's just week after week always
[00:17:06] increasing. eh we really have to be
[00:17:09] worried, according to the association of fuel
[00:17:12] retailers, this Monday diesel should rise
[00:17:15] 6.5 cents per liter and gasoline 5
[00:17:19] cents, already counting on the adjustment that the
[00:17:22] government usually makes to the ISP, it does not have the
[00:17:25] ability to tell the truth to the Portuguese, to say
[00:17:29] really and concretely what the ISP really lowers that
[00:17:33] he has said he has done is not reflected at all in the...
[00:17:40] price of fuels, I think it's ridiculous, soon it won't be worth working, it's just for the
[00:17:43] car, people don't have another life, they don't have another
[00:17:46] rhythm, it's the houses I don't know anything, how much did you
[00:17:50] fill up? oh, €20 and that was already
[00:17:53] too much,
[00:17:55] because it suits me to go to Spain where it's cheaper, I've been doing that since
[00:17:59] fuel prices started, always, always
[00:18:03] the border is often an option for families and
[00:18:06] businesses, due to the increase in prices,
[00:18:10] the difference still compensates, still justifies, always
[00:18:13] a lot, you can save a good, good amount of money at the end of the
[00:18:17] month, so you earn less and
[00:18:20] fuels are expensive, here you earn double, in
[00:18:24] terms of fuels, Luís Montenegro rejects
[00:18:27] comparisons with Spain,
[00:18:30] let's go live now to a gas station in Lisbon, here is
[00:18:34] Tiago Imaginário, hello Tiago, good evening, was there
[00:18:37] a greater influx of motorists to anticipate the increases
[00:18:41] tomorrow?
[00:18:45] good evening, Ana, the afternoon was very busy in contrast
[00:18:48] also with what has been the beginning of
[00:18:51] the evening, this gas station, the employee told us a short while ago that they didn't stop all afternoon
[00:18:55] and practically all the motorists who stop here
[00:18:59] stop to fill up their tanks and thus try to
[00:19:02] escape for a few days from this expressive increase in
[00:19:05] fuels, both in... gasoline and diesel, if we look at diesel
[00:19:09] it's already almost another 50 cents
[00:19:13] since the beginning of the year, this gas station
[00:19:16] eh in Lisbon people really come in that
[00:19:20] attempt, they fill up their tanks practically all
[00:19:23] pay a much heavier bill compared to what they paid a few
[00:19:27] months ago and everyone is making that comparison with Spain also that the
[00:19:31] prime minister refuses to make, they also reveal
[00:19:34] some incomprehension with what are the prices
[00:19:38] here, the value that appears at the moment of final payment, as
[00:19:41] we also see here eh this customer who
[00:19:45] came to refuel, but all afternoon they told us it was a
[00:19:49] very busy afternoon because Portuguese people and people who live
[00:19:52] here in Lisbon try to escape that
[00:19:55] expressive increase in, we are already talking about
[00:19:58] record values and that also reveal
[00:20:01] some incomprehension on the part of customers who come here to refuel
[00:20:05] looking to eh minimize the impact of this increase
[00:20:09] on their budgets. Thank you, Tiago Imaginário, good
[00:20:12] afternoon. The Minister of Finance warns that the measures of the PS and Chega to
[00:20:16] lower the VAT on fuels and the food basket may
[00:20:20] cause the country to enter a deficit as early as next year. The two largest
[00:20:24] opposition parties reject the government's warnings and remind that the
[00:20:27] PSD already advocated reducing the tax when it was in
[00:20:30] opposition.
[00:20:33] Anticipating the negotiations of the State Budget, the government calculates the scenario
[00:20:37] with... Portugal's return to deficit, lowering VAT on fuels in the food
[00:20:41] basket could cost 2.0 million euros and therefore the
[00:20:45] warning remains. If the two parties want to join forces to
[00:20:48] approve a proposal. of those that we would vote favorably,
[00:20:52] if they want to form a coalition and approve that, what I am telling the country is that they want
[00:20:56] there to be deficits in 2027, the Socialist Party made other calculations, it says
[00:20:59] that the proposals it presents fit within the state budget, but it is enough
[00:21:03] to build a negative majority with Chega to force
[00:21:06] the government's hand. we have our own proposals with effects today, not effects
[00:21:10] from January 2027, which is a big difference we are talking about,
[00:21:14] well the government cannot now seek to relax
[00:21:17] at the expense of what they are seeking. which is a dispute between one and another
[00:21:21] party, no. Luís Montenegro already refused to follow the opposition's path,
[00:21:24] waving the phantom of bankruptcy. José Luís Carneiro goes back in time
[00:21:28] and asks the prime minister to listen to the then leader of the
[00:21:31] PSD. The prime minister says one thing today and said another yesterday, when he was in
[00:21:35] opposition, when Dr. António Costa lowered VAT from 23 to
[00:21:38] 13%, it came from the ISP, the
[00:21:41] prime, the current prime minister, at the time, leader of
[00:21:45] the opposition, came to demand a VAT reduction, it was not from 23
[00:21:49] to, it was from 20. to 6. A doubt also raised by
[00:21:52] André Ventura, Chega accuses the government of inconsistency and
[00:21:56] the PS of hypocrisy for preparing to reject the bills that
[00:21:59] would lower VAT on fuels and the food basket, but before
[00:22:03] and still on the island of Madeira, André Ventura changed the subject and made an
[00:22:07] appeal to the prime minister. Before all that, so that we don't have here the
[00:22:11] Luís Neves case or something similar,
[00:22:13] transparency is always the best solution. Do government members hold
[00:22:16] shares or participations in REN? This is a question. therefore because the
[00:22:20] state bought participations in REN and caused
[00:22:23] REN's value to rise a lot, this means that whoever holds
[00:22:27] participations in REN had a direct benefit. Chega is
[00:22:30] not alone, the PS also insists that there are questions that still
[00:22:34] need answers in the REN deal.
[00:22:38] Paulo Raimundo downplays the Minister of Finance's concerns about
[00:22:41] a possible imbalance of public accounts, the PCP Secretary General
[00:22:45] reiterated his defense of taxing the profits of large
[00:22:49] economic groups as a way to respond to the rising cost of living. Hours before
[00:22:52] a new increase in fuel prices, Paulo Raimundo also accused the
[00:22:56] prime minister of advancing with insufficient
[00:22:58] measures. We're going to raise it again. Who is responsible
[00:23:02] for this? Is it me? Is it you journalists? Some of you are not, it's the Prime
[00:23:05] Minister, because he does nothing to counter it. Look, I have a suggestion for the Minister of
[00:23:09] Finance, instead of being worried about that, if he would worry about doing what
[00:23:13] needs to be done, which is to contain prices, fix prices, roll back prices,
[00:23:16] and reduce the profits, the big economic groups. of the gas companies in this country,
[00:23:20] of the distribution in this country, and of
[00:23:24] the banking in this country, that deficit problem would not arise, and therefore go get the money where it needs
[00:23:28] to be gotten. The book says that Luís Montenegro is pursuing
[00:23:31] an electoral strategy and asks for more ambition from the government. Ismael Bento
[00:23:35] Lopes says that more needs to be done to curb the rising cost of
[00:23:38] living. This December bonus was announced
[00:23:42] in the debate on the motion of no confidence and the others bonuses were announced eh at
[00:23:46] the height of the electoral campaign or at the height of the Pontal festival and therefore.
[00:23:50] always at times that are very convenient for the government and that is not a serious way
[00:23:54] to conduct budgetary management, what we
[00:23:57] should, eh, in fact, is on the one hand, reduce the price of
[00:24:00] fuels, it is also necessary to ensure that access to
[00:24:04] essential goods is eh is possible for all
[00:24:07] people.
[00:24:10] Ed Sheeran apologizes, singer condemns attacks against
[00:24:14] Israel and condemns Israel because of
[00:24:16] Gaza.
[00:24:24] This is a decisive day for the immediate political future of German Chancellor
[00:24:27] Friedrich Schmerz. The first projections from two important
[00:24:31] regional elections in Germany point to victories for the extremes,
[00:24:35] on the right and on the left. In the city-state of Berlin, the projects
[00:24:38] point to the defeat of the CDU, which leads the Capital
[00:24:42] Council. The victory of Dilinka, a radical left-wing party
[00:24:46] with 24.5% of the votes. The conservative CDU should not
[00:24:50] exceed 20%. The
[00:24:53] AFD, the far-right Alternative for Germany, should get
[00:24:56] 16% here. Meanwhile,
[00:24:59] in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, in the east of the country,
[00:25:03] the winning party should be the AFD, with
[00:25:06] 37.5% of the votes. The far-right is thus less than
[00:25:10] two points ahead of the Social Democrats of the
[00:25:13] SPD. The CDU of Merz should have
[00:25:17] 5.5% of the votes. a value that
[00:25:20] risks not electing any deputy to the regional assembly, given the
[00:25:24] margin of error of the projections, neither the far-right nor the far-left should
[00:25:28] achieve victories with an absolute majority, which means that
[00:25:31] they will need alliances to form a government, which will be very difficult
[00:25:35] to achieve.
[00:25:38] New electoral test in Germany, new defeat for the CDU,
[00:25:41] currently in government, in Berlin it is in second place, losing the capital's government
[00:25:45] and giving way to Dilinka, the radical
[00:25:48] left-wing party. Liebe Berlin, liebe
[00:25:51] Berlinerin, liebe Berliner, ab heute verändern wir
[00:25:55] gemeinsam unser Berlin und machen zu einem besseren Ort, alle
[00:25:59] zusammen.
[00:26:02] In the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the CDU guarantees just over
[00:26:06] the minimum to achieve parliamentary representation. The
[00:26:09] Social Democrats of the SPD, currently in government, are in
[00:26:12] second place, the far-right party, AFD, is the most
[00:26:16] voted.
[00:26:19] Mich bei den vielen Wählerinnen und Wählern bedanken, ein sensationelles Ergebnis, wir haben ja
[00:26:22] ganz klar den Regierungsauftrag, wir haben uns ja auch mehr als verdoppelt, also
[00:26:26] erstmal.
[00:26:29] The current chancellor has already acknowledged what he called... dut
[00:26:32] auch, das Ergebnis in Meckelburg-Vorbormann können wir
[00:26:35] nicht schön reden, es ist ein
[00:26:38] Disaster, die CDU hat gekämpft, aber
[00:26:42] es ist am Ende die CDU zerrieben worden in der
[00:26:45] Zuspitzung zwischen SPD und AFD.
[00:26:48] In unserer Hauptstadt hier in Berlin hat Stefan Evars in einer sehr schwierigen Situation
[00:26:52] den Staffelstab als Spitzenkandidat übernommen und er
[00:26:56] ist direkt in den Wahlkampf
[00:26:57] eingestiegen.
[00:27:02] in the space of a few weeks, he guarantees that he will continue as
[00:27:06] chancellor.
[00:27:09] Vladimir Putin's United Russia party is expected to have won the elections for the
[00:27:13] Russian Parliament once again. The polls have closed after three days and for the
[00:27:17] first time, voting also took place in the territories that Russia
[00:27:20] occupies in Ukraine. At dawn there was a large-scale
[00:27:23] attack from Kiev, which reached Moscow, killing three
[00:27:27] people.
[00:27:31] It is the third and last day. the first legislative elections in
[00:27:34] Russia, since the conflict with Ukraine began
[00:27:38] and, whatever the result, you already know that the polls will not
[00:27:41] produce an opposition to the war. The only party
[00:27:45] openly against it was prevented from running by the country's Supreme
[00:27:49] Court, there are also individual candidates, but even these
[00:27:52] seem to be predominantly
[00:27:55] pro-conflict. Only a high abstention rate
[00:27:58] could have another political interpretation.
[00:28:32] This time, for the first time also, in this
[00:28:35] war, there was also voting for the Duma in the regions of Ukraine that
[00:28:38] Russia invaded and occupies. Спокойно и
[00:28:42] достойно проходят выборы, несмотря на все
[00:28:45] истерические потоги наших врагов, которые делают ну
[00:28:48] всё возможное. Слава богу, успешных атак не
[00:28:52] было, несмотря на их мощность и силу. cyber attacks
[00:28:56] from abroad in the vote, which also took place
[00:29:00] for the first time, optionally.
[00:29:02] Electronically, regarding more conventional attacks, there is no
[00:29:06] doubt about the result, on the last day of voting, Ukraine launched
[00:29:09] over Russia more than a thousand drones, many over
[00:29:13] Moscow, a refinery was reportedly hit, air
[00:29:17] traffic was affected, at least three people died,
[00:29:21] about the end of the war, nothing new
[00:29:23] in the East.
[00:29:26] The polls have been closed for over an hour in Russia, we are now live from
[00:29:30] Moscow with Evgeny Morovic. Good evening, Evgeny, what
[00:29:33] numbers are already available at this hour and what interpretation are we
[00:29:37] making of them? Good evening, Ana, we already have
[00:29:40] some preliminary numbers, they are, no, it's
[00:29:44] not a surprise, as was being predicted, United
[00:29:47] Russia, after processing
[00:29:51] about 25% of the ballots, United
[00:29:55] Russia has an estimated
[00:29:57] 57 point something percent. That's it,
[00:30:01] this was the target set by the
[00:30:03] Kremlin eh for the
[00:30:07] organizers of the campaign, followed by the
[00:30:11] party in power, the
[00:30:13] Communist Party, always number two eh for
[00:30:17] many years, then comes the party,
[00:30:20] so the communists should have around 13 to
[00:30:24] 14%, then comes
[00:30:27] the liberal democratic party, which has nothing to
[00:30:30] do with eh with...
[00:30:32] eh its title is completely nationalist
[00:30:36] with an estimated 9 to 10% then eh
[00:30:40] the fourth party as was expected eh is New People
[00:30:43] or New People eh it is a
[00:30:46] liberal project in quotation marks from the Kremlin
[00:30:50] eh that eh aims therefore to
[00:30:54] attract eh the votes and sympathies of
[00:30:57] liberal youth eh these this
[00:31:01] New People um eh promises or at least declares as
[00:31:04] an objective eh to lift the
[00:31:07] prohibitions and censorship on social
[00:31:11] networks and on YouTube and so on, so,
[00:31:15] ah, then several below five follow,
[00:31:19] not the last one with five, which
[00:31:21] passed the five percent mark is Fair Russia, so
[00:31:25] Fair Russia is also completely for the Kremlin, so there is
[00:31:29] no intrigue in this campaign,
[00:31:33] the only novelty is many uniformed
[00:31:36] people who are being pushed for or
[00:31:39] promoted to the Kremlin by the custodian of power, so
[00:31:43] many, many people participate. or in combat operations
[00:31:46] are being promoted to deputies in this
[00:31:50] way, obviously the Kremlin wants to prepare a Duma,
[00:31:54] form a Duma which is the lower house of the Russian Parliament,
[00:31:57] in a way that is eh convenient to carry out
[00:32:01] its policy and that policy will be one of war, let's see
[00:32:04] eh a story we recorded in Moscow
[00:32:08] about the veterans of the
[00:32:10] war,
[00:32:13] the community of combat veterans in... Russia gathers former military personnel and
[00:32:17] civilians who participated in military operations of the Soviet
[00:32:20] Union and later of Russia in Afghanistan, in
[00:32:24] Africa, in Asia, in the Caucasus and now in
[00:32:26] Ukraine. People who survived the fighting maintain a
[00:32:30] high degree of patriotism and a belief in the
[00:32:33] just character of Moscow's political line, at any
[00:32:37] historical stage. In the current electoral campaign for the Lower House
[00:32:41] of Parliament, the Kremlin is promoting military personnel who stood out for...
[00:34:17] "Singer Ed Sheeran apologized for the way he handled
[00:34:20] the controversy involving the rapper and the war in
[00:34:23] Gaza, saying he never wanted to be an activist
[00:34:26] musician and now condemns both the October attacks against
[00:34:30] Israel and what is happening
[00:34:31] in Gaza."
[00:34:35] took to the stage alone with a broken heart
[00:34:38] and apologized to
[00:34:40] his fans.
[00:34:45] and I've had to take uh and make difficult decisions and I am making
[00:34:49] mistakes and I'm so so
[00:34:51] sorry. I don't want to disappoint fans and I've
[00:34:55] never wanted to be an activist musician, but this has put me in the middle of an
[00:34:58] important and passionate argument about freedom of speech and most
[00:35:02] complex political issue on the
[00:35:04] planet.
[00:35:07] The controversy began days earlier with the dismissal of McLemore,
[00:35:11] after he had publicly expressed support for Palestine.
[00:35:15] the opening of Adchiren's concerts in the United
[00:35:18] States, in solidarity with the rapper, all the musicians who were going
[00:35:22] to open the remaining performances decided to abandon the
[00:35:25] British singer's tour. Ed Sheeran denies that the decision was the
[00:35:29] promoter's, but Macklemore, with whom he has been friends for some years,
[00:35:33] criticizes him for not having defended him before the venue managers, where the
[00:35:37] concert was scheduled for this Friday, an accusation that
[00:35:40] placed the British singer at the center of a discussion that goes far beyond
[00:35:44] music.
[00:35:55] What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic
[00:35:59] and unjustifiable and disproportionate, my heart
[00:36:02] broken by scale of devastation and loss of civilians
[00:36:06] lives, of children's lives, and the
[00:36:10] systemic injustice we're seeing unfold in the west bank cannot be
[00:36:13] overlooked.
