[00:00:01] directly without consulting with the Europeans, secondly, the Europeans are called to pay the [00:00:05] price and the price is very high, because continuing the sanctions [00:00:09] on principle, that's why they do it primarily, they will pay more expensive [00:00:12] energy than the United States in case, of course, that the [00:00:16] Americans start importing Russian diesel, and of course, [00:00:19] one more time where we see President Trump leaving [00:00:23] Russia, I'm sorry, Ukraine exposed. Let's leave Zelensky aside, [00:00:26] because, and I'll conclude with this, if Russia really resolves [00:00:30] these chapters with the United States, it will be able to pour [00:00:33] more money into the war it is waging against Ukraine, which will [00:00:37] also force the Europeans, in turn, to give even more money for [00:00:46] the other major war front, developments are intensifying global [00:00:49] concern for a generalized conflagration. The deadly [00:00:53] missile attack on Riyadh International Airport provokes an angry [00:00:56] reaction from Saudi Arabia, which warns of [00:00:59] retaliation, while Washington leaves open the possibility of [00:01:02] military involvement on its [00:01:04] side. [00:01:07] Dangerous escalation in the Middle East after a missile [00:01:10] attack on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi [00:01:14] Arabia. At least 12 people lose their [00:01:18] lives, including an American citizen, while more than [00:01:22] 300 are injured. [00:01:25] Riyadh remains on war alert as the attack is attributed. [00:02:14] All airlines, employees, and travelers should not use [00:02:18] the airports and airspace of Saudi Arabia. They are [00:02:21] exposed to targeting and constitute a theater of operations for our [00:02:24] forces. The attack has already been condemned by [00:02:28] the American president. [00:04:00] Riyadh schools will remain closed with classes being [00:04:04] conducted remotely, while the country's international [00:04:07] airport is closed. Louisa Krontiri [00:04:10] is with us again. A little while ago there were new reports [00:04:14] of a new strike at Riyadh International Airport. Again, Louisa, what [00:04:17] happened? According to initial information, it is a new missile [00:04:21] attack against King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. A fire [00:04:25] has broken out at the scene, with the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority speaking of [00:04:28] injuries, but without giving more [00:04:31] information. Meanwhile, authorities announced that they intercepted a [00:04:35] cruise missile near the airport, which remains temporarily [00:04:38] closed. A little while ago, the Houthis announced that they also attacked [00:04:42] Dammam airport and Aramco facilities in the east of the [00:04:45] country, while they claimed responsibility for the attack on Riyadh [00:04:49] airport. And the tension is not limited to Riyadh. For [00:04:52] weeks now, a fierce battle has been underway for the [00:04:56] control of the Bab el-Mandeb strait, as it is... [00:05:00] it seems, one of the most important maritime routes of [00:05:03] global trade, and the obvious question is why its [00:05:07] control has acquired such great importance. It is, Christina, [00:05:11] the southern passage from... and to the Red Sea, through which [00:05:14] 10 to 12% of global maritime trade passes. The [00:05:18] Houthis seek to gain control of this particular strait, threatening to [00:05:22] strangle the global energy market, which is already significantly [00:05:25] pressured due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthis, who [00:05:28] are supported by Iran, control the capital Sana'a and the [00:05:32] northwestern part of Yemen, while in recent weeks they had [00:05:35] also advanced into a large part of the coastline to the south [00:05:39] at the entrance of the Bab el-Mandeb strait. They themselves [00:05:41] had captured important areas such as the [00:05:45] port of Mocha and the island of Perim, but government [00:05:48] forces, with the support of Saudi Arabia, launched a large-scale [00:05:52] counteroffensive, taking back control of critical [00:05:55] points, without it being clear, however, who controls and to what [00:05:59] extent the disputed areas. Just a short while ago, [00:06:02] we also had a warning from the Greek Ministry of [00:06:05] Foreign Affairs, which, Christina, advises Greek citizens to [00:06:08] avoid travel to Saudi Arabia, except for absolutely [00:06:18] Donald Trump leaves open the possibility of military [00:06:21] support to Saudi Arabia, with the risk, [00:06:24] with Michalis Ignatiou with us, of an even greater involvement [00:06:28] of the United States in the war. Michalis, so let's [00:06:31] see what this means, the intentions of [00:06:35] the American president, and how close Washington is to such [00:06:38] a decision eventually. [00:06:43] Yes, Christina, it seems that we may be [00:06:46] close. We already learned that after the [00:06:49] attacks, the Kingdom requested urgent [00:06:53] support from the United States. President [00:06:56] Trump is considering today the request to [00:06:59] assist Saudi Arabia in retaliation against the [00:07:03] Houthi rebels. The [00:07:05] Americans, however, meaningfully note that the [00:07:08] Houthis are Iran, [00:07:12] because they are supported by Tehran. So [00:07:15] one position is this, to [00:07:19] rush to help. The other position is that it could further [00:07:22] involve the United States in a second [00:07:26] front against Iran. He has to [00:07:29] decide. He made a statement in his usual [00:07:33] way, yes, but maybe we'll [00:07:36] consider it, he said. I just learned about the recent [00:07:40] attack, so we will make a decision, we are moving very [00:07:44] quickly. 24 hours have passed since then. However, [00:07:48] meetings are being held on the matter, and despite the fact that [00:07:51] the Pentagon does not comment, there has been a lot of movement of [00:07:55] air forces towards American bases in [00:07:59] Europe. Seven tankers have also been moved, which means [00:08:03] that if Mr. Trump decides to assist Saudi [00:08:07] Arabia, B2 bombers will also be used. [00:08:10] However, and this is the most important, I think, President [00:08:14] Trump canceled a little while ago his trip to [00:08:18] Virginia where he would attend a MAGA [00:08:21] movement lunch. He will [00:08:24] therefore remain at the White House, whatever [00:08:27] this decision means. [00:08:35] war fronts, ladies and gentlemen, have a direct impact on the economy as well, with [00:08:39] the fuel market remaining in the spotlight. [00:08:43] They estimate that in the coming days we will see reductions in the price of [00:08:46] gasoline, while on Wednesday, let's remember, announcements are expected for [00:08:50] heating oil and its subsidy from the [00:08:52] government. A drop in international fuel prices [00:08:56] is predicted by market players after the agreement for the supply of [00:09:00] 4.8 million barrels of diesel from [00:09:03] Russia. When a product enters the [00:09:06] market, the laws say that the price will drop, it will not [00:09:10] be missing from somewhere else, it will be surplus in... Europe. [00:09:13] It is most likely that prices will fall. The small drop expected [00:09:17] in Brent will theoretically also affect prices in [00:09:20] Greece. Brent oil is expected to reach up to $95, [00:09:23] which means for the Greek market by the end of the week [00:09:27] we will see reductions, especially in gasoline which has remained stuck at a stable [00:09:31] 2.20. Traders also expect a drop in prices for [00:09:34] heating oil. If it started today without any [00:09:37] subsidy, it would start at 1.90. The Prime Minister spoke [00:09:41] below 1.70. Let's make a hypothetical [00:09:44] scenario of 1.65 with the government's intervention, we say if [00:09:48] it opens at 1600 euros, 1000 [00:09:50] liters, let's cross our fingers. According to Energy Minister Stavros [00:09:54] Papastavrou, beneficiaries of the heating allowance will remain [00:09:58] stable and the amount they will receive will increase. For the 1 [00:10:01] million 170 citizens, there will be a significant [00:10:05] increase and with the subsidy, what the Prime Minister said [00:10:08] will be adhered to, that it will be lower than the closing price. [00:10:13] The announcements will be made on Wednesday, October 14th, [00:10:16] one day before the start of heating oil [00:10:19] distribution. [00:10:22] High fuel prices and energy inflation are fueling [00:10:25] political confrontation, with the opposition sharply criticizing the [00:10:29] government. At the same time, the Prime Minister, in his Sunday post, reviews [00:10:33] the week of the US Secretary of State's visit [00:10:36] to Athens, and also [00:10:40] gives special emphasis to energy cooperation, [00:10:49] to many recipients with his assessment of the US Secretary of State's visit [00:10:53] to Athens, focusing [00:10:55] on strengthening the strategic relationship between Greece and the United States in [00:10:58] a number of critical sectors. From defense and security, energy and [00:11:02] shipping, to investments in regional partnerships and [00:11:06] technology. Greece is consolidating its position as a pillar of stability in [00:11:10] an unstable region and as a reliable partner, but also as [00:11:13] a bridge of cooperation between Europe, the United States, the [00:11:17] Middle East and the countries of the Arab world and the Gulf. [00:11:20] In parallel, apart from defense and the upgrade of F-16s, the integration [00:11:24] of F-35s and long-term [00:11:27] armament programs, Kyriakos Mitsotakis makes special reference to energy [00:11:31] and the importance of each corridor. It enhances the prospects [00:11:34] of Greece emerging as a natural gas transport hub to the European [00:11:38] market, while creating opportunities for greater [00:11:41] utilization of American LNG. At the same time, [00:11:44] energy inflation continues to fuel political confrontation, [00:11:48] despite the benefits that the Prime Minister emphasizes will be brought by the approval [00:11:51] of the escape clause by the European Union for interventions in the [00:11:55] domestic energy sector. This is absolute communication [00:11:59] sleight of hand. Due to extreme managerial incompetence, they could [00:12:03] not utilize European funds in these sectors, and now [00:12:06] they present as a strategic move their decision to dip into the pocket [00:12:10] of the Greek taxpayer to cover them. It is a complete failure [00:12:14] of recovery fund management, and we could have [00:12:17] used them without putting in our own money. Our [00:12:20] country was the first in which the request for the escape clause [00:12:24] was accepted. That is, to be able to make investments in [00:12:27] energy. This one billion is not negligible. It will go to public [00:12:31] buildings, to schools, to kindergartens, to [00:12:33] improve their energy autonomy. The only ones who benefit from the [00:12:37] European Union's decision to activate the escape clause [00:12:41] in energy are the energy groups. The government is trying to [00:12:44] tackle the enormous energy crisis with aspirins, which will impoverish [00:12:48] Greeks and extend the profiteering of cartels. No more [00:12:51] self-congratulatory reviews, Mr. Mitsotakis. [00:12:55] Citizens live in a different Greece than the one [00:12:58] you describe, Mr. Mitsotakis. Society is suffocating. The escape [00:13:01] clause concerns investments that are being planned until [00:13:04] 2028. [00:13:07] With a self-sufficient majority being the main stake of the [00:13:11] elections, the confrontation between the government and PASOK intensifies [00:13:14] as New Democracy insists on a clear mandate from the first [00:13:18] ballot box and Harilaou Trikoupi claims governmental change. At the same time, [00:13:21] in the left-wing political spectrum, Alexis Tsipras's effort to form [00:13:25] his own political group with the latest addition being veteran basketball player [00:13:29] Angelos Koronios provokes new reactions from [00:13:31] SYRIZA. With self-sufficiency at stake, [00:13:35] government and opposition clash over victory in the [00:13:38] elections. The possibility of successive electoral contests [00:13:42] was rejected by the government spokesman, insisting on a clear [00:13:45] result from the first ballot box. National elections do not have [00:13:49] a first and second round. Our clear and unique goal is self-sufficiency, and I'm not [00:13:53] saying this delusionally, but because I sincerely believe that with the mistakes we need to [00:13:56] correct, New Democracy under the leadership of Kyriakos Mitsotakis is the only [00:14:00] political force that can continue to present to citizens a comprehensive [00:14:04] plan. Harilaos Trikoupis is asking for a [00:14:07] governing mandate, accusing the Prime Minister of falling below the [00:14:11] bar of problems. The country needs a [00:14:14] Prime Minister who can guarantee progress and [00:14:17] stability for all, not a Prime Minister who asks for [00:14:21] 25%, simply to negotiate with the current [00:14:25] members of his party his continued stay in power for his party. The [00:14:28] Prime Minister has already admitted his failure and has set the bar [00:14:32] low. Come on, Alexis, you're in. At the same [00:14:36] time, with basketball terms, passes, and political [00:14:39] quips, Alexis Tsipras gives the jersey of the Greek left [00:14:42] coalition and with it the ticket for the ballots to [00:14:45] veteran basketball player Angelos Koronios. The [00:14:49] moments were shared in a video on social media shortly [00:14:53] before his tour in Crete. [00:14:57] If I lose this round, we'll go to a second and I'll win, my [00:15:00] friend. How does he say it, in our team, [00:15:03] of course, I'm ready, we're shooters, brother, it's my [00:15:07] specialty, let's beat them, of course. SYRIZA unleashes [00:15:10] double free throws at PASOK and the Greek left coalition, while also sending [00:15:13] a message of the left's resurgence [00:15:17] in Parliament. The fact that he is forming his own party and [00:15:20] says he will defeat New Democracy alone, while his percentages are what they are, and PASOK [00:15:24] is even lower. [00:15:38] At the same time, the conflict between PASOK and the Greek left escalated [00:15:42] today, prompted by Thanasis Karteros's article in the "Efimerida ton Syntakton" newspaper [00:15:45] under the title "What is [00:15:48] really happening with Mr. Androulakis?" Khrysa Ampatou is with us, [00:15:52] Christina, at a time when the discussion has fully opened, also due to the poll [00:15:56] results, about which party can eventually unseat New Democracy from [00:15:59] power. So, Thanasis Karteros's article in the "Efimerida ton [00:16:03] Syntakton" intensifies the tension between PASOK and the Greek [00:16:06] Left. But [00:16:08] also [00:16:13] his new endeavor, as you will see in the card we have prepared, Mr. Karteros [00:16:17] sarcastically wonders if it is ultimately political stupidity or [00:16:21] some kind of strategy. He emphatically points out that [00:16:24] Androulakis himself tirelessly presents Tsipras and [00:16:27] Mitsotakis as two sides of the same coin. Never mind what Mrs. Anna says. [00:16:30] The question therefore comes back again and again, persistently: [00:16:34] political stupidity or party strategy? to target [00:16:37] the Greek left coalition as the second party, hence Androulakis's [00:16:41] exasperation. This is the version of stupidity, because attempts to tarnish [00:16:45] Tsipras do not benefit PASOK, but Mitsotakis. [00:16:48] An article that, as you understand, has provoked a sharp [00:16:52] response from PASOK. Let's see it. When you choose to sling [00:16:55] mud at PASOK through your paid army of trolls and digital [00:16:59] gangs, but a team, indeed, Harilaou Trikoupi notes, don't [00:17:02] expect the democratic world not to understand it. Mr. [00:17:05] Tsipras, if you want to attack Nikos Androulakis, do it yourselves, don't [00:17:09] hide behind your propagandists, [00:17:18] for the motive behind the execution of the 53-year-old man who was murdered [00:17:21] in Glyfada at midnight. The victim had repeatedly [00:17:25] been involved with authorities for serious criminal cases and had [00:17:28] been linked to leading members of the so-called [00:17:31] Greek Mafia. A video shows the ambulance that arrived [00:17:35] at the junction of Karamanli and Panagouli streets in Glyfada a few minutes after [00:17:38] the execution of the 50-year-old man, exactly where they had sprinkled [00:17:41] sawdust. The time was approximately one o'clock. [00:17:44] The 50-year-old was on a high-powered motorcycle. Eight bullet casings [00:17:47] were found here. There are no cameras; it's a blind spot. The two perpetrators were on [00:17:51] a motorcycle and wearing dark clothes and helmets. They had set an ambush, [00:17:54] waiting for the victim to leave his house, which is about 1 [00:17:58] km away from the scene of the murder. While in motion, the [00:18:01] passenger opened fire, hitting the 52-year-old in the back, who [00:18:04] fell off his motorcycle. Approximately five bullets [00:18:08] pierced his back and one in his head. Eight bullet casings. Either someone was [00:18:12] waiting for him there and knew he would pass, I see it as people of the [00:18:16] night who went to settle some differences. [00:18:19] This is the 55-year-old man who was found dead at midnight from the [00:18:22] murderous shots of the two executioners in Glyfada. His image had been recorded in [00:18:26] September 2021, a few minutes after he had carried out [00:18:30] an armed attack against a 39-year-old man on a central street in [00:18:33] Athens. As was ascertained from the investigation by the Greek FBI, the 52-year-old [00:18:37] had a heavy criminal record and had been arrested as a member of extortion gangs. His [00:18:41] activity had been linked to the so-called "Thamnakias," a major or crazy leading [00:18:45] member of the Greek Mafia who was murdered in April [00:18:48] 2025 in Chalandri, as well as with his deputy, [00:18:51] nicknamed "Mavros" (Black), who was shot dead by executioners [00:18:55] in Ilioupoli in December 2020. [00:18:58] Apart from his involvement in the underworld, he had also been involved in two shooting incidents which [00:19:02] are related to rivalries over dominance among fans of the [00:19:06] same football team, as well as for domestic violence. [00:19:10] Among other things, he was arrested in 2011 for incidents at a [00:19:12] football match, in 2015 for the activities of the [00:19:15] "Thamnakias" extortion gang, for an armed attack [00:19:18] outside the Olympic Stadium in 2018, and for [00:19:22] shootings in the center of Athens in [00:19:24] 2022. [00:19:26] Marathon co-defenses of the accused in the case of the [00:19:29] criminal organization that allegedly left millions of euros in debt [00:19:32] to the state and EFKA, with one trying [00:19:36] to shift responsibility to the others. Filippos Kampouris [00:19:39] denies that he was responsible for the financial management of the [00:19:42] companies and refers to the accountants, who in turn [00:19:46] reject the accusations and give their own version of their [00:19:49] cooperation. [00:19:53] Filippos Kampouris denies any involvement in the financial management of the companies. [00:19:57] In his defense, the alleged [00:20:00] leader of the criminal organization disclaims responsibility for the millions [00:20:03] of euros in debt to the state and EFKA, pointing the finger at the [00:20:07] accountants. "I never had as my work objective the accounting [00:20:11] or tax management of companies, nor did I decide on the payment or non-payment [00:20:14] of insurance contributions and their tax obligations. The relevant [00:20:18] matters were handled by the responsible accountants, whose suggestions I [00:20:22] relied on in processing the documents they asked me to [00:20:25] sign." [00:20:28] On his part, one of the accused accountants denies [00:20:31] any involvement in the criminal organization and describes the falling out with [00:20:35] Filippos Kampouris. "He did not fulfill his monthly financial [00:20:38] obligations to my accounting firm, and we stopped keeping the [00:20:42] accounting books and records of their companies. How is it possible for me to be a member of a [00:20:46] criminal organization when I have no communication with the alleged [00:20:50] leaders or accomplices or members of it since 2024?" [00:20:53] The second accused accountant describes the difficulties in collaborating with [00:20:57] the involved companies. "We reached the point of threatening that [00:21:01] we would not submit the tax returns if they did not provide us with the appropriate [00:21:04] documents or common accounts, because we would not be able to [00:21:07] submit the financial statements or the tax return with incomplete and [00:21:11] inaccurate data. These people had a purely declaratory [00:21:14] role, that all their actions [00:21:18] were at the behest of the main accused." His own [00:21:21] version is also given by the accused who appears in the case file as [00:21:25] a straw man. "I had friendly relations with Filipouris. Because I had [00:21:29] professional problems in finding stable work and a stable salary, [00:21:32] he suggested I work with him in companies. I knew about the companies I [00:21:36] was working for normally. I was getting paid by them, but I had no other knowledge or [00:21:39] involvement in administrative and tax matters." The damage to EFKA [00:21:42] is estimated at 1.5 million, while the total for the [00:21:46] public treasury reaches 5 million. The defense of [00:21:49] Philippos Kampouris, however, disputes both the amount of the debts and the [00:21:52] charge of fraud and criminal organization. "With the data [00:21:56] in the case file, the offenses described [00:21:59] do not exist. There may be [00:22:02] damage to EFKA, and wrongly so, there is damage to EFKA, [00:22:06] but this cannot translate into a benefit for [00:22:09] anyone involved." After the completion of the defenses, [00:22:13] the investigating judge and prosecutor will decide on the legal treatment [00:22:16] of each of the 11 defendants. [00:22:20] Ira Orhanis is following the developments, she has all the latest information, [00:22:24] Ira. And already, Christina, most of the [00:22:27] 11 defendants have given their testimonies, we learn that all of them deny [00:22:31] the accusations against them and accuse each other. We already heard [00:22:34] how the two accountants point to Philippos Kampouris as the mastermind, but he, on [00:22:38] his part, in the investigator's office, where he remained for three [00:22:42] hours, denied the charge of fraud again and even [00:22:45] claimed that the accountants were the ones who mismanaged his [00:22:49] companies. It is said that every time from one of them [00:22:52] an accounting error was found, it seemed that the staff [00:22:56] continued to remain employed in them. Of particular [00:22:59] interest is also the testimony of Kampouris's wife, who declared [00:23:03] complete ignorance, saying that she was a simple employee in the [00:23:06] companies. She specifically seems to have said: "My [00:23:10] relationship with the businesses was limited to the actual [00:23:13] provision of work with secretarial and organizational support, [00:23:16] staff supervision, and customer service." So they are slowly [00:23:20] starting to cross the [00:23:23] threshold of the prosecutor's office to decide on their further [00:23:26] legal treatment, a process that will be completed late tonight, Christina. [00:23:29] Thank you very much, Ira. Questions remain [00:23:32] unanswered about the death of a 20-year-old girl who [00:23:36] collapsed after, as we will see in the report, using a [00:23:39] narcotic substance during a night out. Her father, [00:23:43] speaking to Sky, alleges that his daughter had been in danger before [00:23:47] under similar circumstances. When [00:23:50] we went to the hospital, our daughter was already [00:23:52] gone, [00:23:55] gone, and I want this [00:23:58] thing, [00:24:01] I don't know, a night out that [00:24:04] ended in tragedy. A girl [00:24:07] just 20 years old lost her life after using [00:24:11] a narcotic substance, according to current information, the [00:24:14] 20-year-old and her friend were at an entertainment venue in [00:24:18] eastern Thessaloniki, when they obtained a quantity of the [00:24:21] narcotic substance MDMA from another unknown [00:24:25] person. A short while later, the young woman lost consciousness and was transferred to [00:24:29] a hospital in the city where, despite the doctors' efforts, [00:24:32] she passed away on Saturday morning. [00:24:36] Her father was devastated. girl talks to Sky and [00:24:39] reports that three years ago a [00:24:43] similar incident happened with the same person. three [00:24:46] years ago again with the same person. that she was 16. the [00:24:50] EK came and took her to Hippocrates then, again with again, again with [00:24:54] excessive, yes, the family speaks of suspicious circumstances [00:24:58] and requests that all aspects of the case be investigated. The family is [00:25:02] determined to investigate everything. The only daughter [00:25:06] was lost, all those guilty for [00:25:09] this case must be found and punished. For the [00:25:12] case, her friend of the same age was arrested. The [00:25:16] 20-year-old was charged with a felony. [00:25:20] while he himself requested and received an extension to apologize next [00:25:23] Tuesday. the investigations continue while the [00:25:27] findings of the forensic examination are expected, so that [00:25:30] the exact causes of [00:25:32] death can be investigated. [00:25:35] In Volos, two men ended up in the hospital after a brutal [00:25:38] attack they received in the early hours of the morning from a group of about [00:25:41] 10 people, who mobilized the taxi they [00:25:44] were in and beat them. Michalis Tezararis has the [00:25:48] information. on charges of causing [00:25:52] dangerous dangerous bodily harm and also robbery, Christina, [00:25:55] two out of a total of 10 perpetrators were arrested, who in the early hours of the morning attacked [00:25:59] two people aged 24 and 25 [00:26:02] at the port of Volos and beat them after first blocking the taxi [00:26:06] they were in. According to Sky, one more person has been [00:26:10] identified and is being sought in order to be arrested within the framework of the arrest in flagrante delicto. [00:26:13] The TRS of the port authority are carrying out investigations in order to locate [00:26:17] the remaining seven people. I would like to point out that the two [00:26:20] injured persons were discharged this afternoon from the general hospital of [00:26:23] Volos, they have head and body injuries. It is worth noting that the whole [00:26:27] incident started in a club in Volos in the early hours of the morning, [00:26:31] when the group of 10 people, along with the two footballers from Skopelos, for [00:26:35] an unknown reason had an altercation, a verbal confrontation. Then the two [00:26:39] people left the club, got into a taxi, but the group of 10 people [00:26:43] followed them and when they arrived at the port in order to take the ship to go to [00:26:47] Skopelos, then they blocked their taxi and forcibly pulled them out of the [00:26:50] vehicle and brutally beat them, Christina. and let's see what [00:26:54] a witness who saw the incident told you, Michalis. [00:26:57] two groups clashed in a nightclub, on [00:27:01] the way... two from one group left the [00:27:05] center and tried to find a taxi to get away, but about 10 [00:27:08] people followed them, the number is not yet clear [00:27:12] and they [00:27:14] blocked their taxi, pulled them out and brutally beat them. The [00:27:18] case is in progress because the port authority has taken [00:27:21] it over, because the place where the incident occurred concerns the [00:27:24] port authority and they are now looking to utilize data from closed [00:27:27] circuit television and anything else found in [00:27:30] Thessaloniki. Luckily, there were no victims when a car crashed [00:27:34] into the tables and chairs of a meze restaurant in Evosmos, [00:27:37] injuring three patrons, the driver who, according to the police, was [00:27:41] under the influence, tried to escape, but was immobilized by [00:27:45] the customers of the establishment. The moment of the crash was recorded by [00:27:49] a camera. [00:27:54] Video footage from security cameras records the moment [00:27:57] when a car goes off course and [00:28:00] crashes into the tables and chairs with... [00:28:05] The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning on Agamemnon Street in Evosmos, [00:28:08] Thessaloniki, when the driver of the car lost control, [00:28:12] resulting in him crashing into the unsuspecting [00:28:15] patrons. [00:28:20] I saw a flash of lightning only and I see [00:28:24] that a car is coming towards me, the table is gone. [00:28:27] A panic. [00:28:30] Fortunately, there were. Now [00:28:35] I just hurt and I can't. The planters, otherwise we would all have been killed [00:28:38] with the speed it was coming [00:28:42] with the middle it had with all [00:28:44] these [00:28:48] scenes of panic followed as three people were injured [00:28:52] while the store suffered minor damages. Three [00:28:55] people, a gentleman suffered [00:28:57] a fall. His doctor told him five [00:29:01] days. [00:29:03] Another gentleman hit again and he [00:29:07] and a lady here hit her head. [00:29:10] If the planters hadn't somehow held back the car, [00:29:13] we would have had casualties, said the owner of the store. [00:29:17] In fact, the police had been informed a little earlier that the [00:29:20] specific car was making dangerous [00:29:23] maneuvers. No one paid attention, no one [00:29:27] cared, with the result that in the next 8 minutes [00:29:31] this man came here. To be found in my shop, to hurt [00:29:34] people, if it wasn't, [00:29:37] the planters we would have had [00:29:38] injuries, [00:29:42] the driver reversed and tried to leave, but [00:29:45] was stopped by the customers of the shop. The man was out [00:29:49] of place and time and full of audacity, [00:29:53] that is, he almost took so many people down with him, he [00:29:57] started to leave and they stopped him, these children are [00:29:59] public dangers, we all stopped him, we took from him. [00:30:03] Police officers of the Thessaloniki Traffic Sub-directorate who [00:30:06] arrived on the scene handcuffed the 45-year-old [00:30:10] driver of the car. In an alcohol test that was performed on him, [00:30:13] it was found that he was under the influence of alcohol and had even [00:30:16] consumed alcohol considerably above the [00:30:19] maximum permissible limit. [00:30:23] In the night of Chios, a large operation by the port authority led to the [00:30:26] discovery of a sailboat that was carrying 360 [00:30:29] kg of cannabis worth over 1 million euros. Vangelis [00:30:33] Kokolakos has the information about a sailboat that was possibly [00:30:36] carrying irregular migrants, the port authority of Chios initially informed [00:30:40] Christina, but when the port authorities boarded it, they [00:30:44] found the cargo of cannabis in a video released to the public. We see [00:30:47] the armed port authorities approaching in the [00:30:50] dark the sailboat flying the Croatian flag, boarding the vessel and immediately [00:30:54] starting the inspection with flashlights in their hands, entering the interior [00:30:58] spaces, opening the compartments and searching.
