[00:00:00] informal, through which it points a finger at these
[00:00:04] amendments, as potentially
[00:00:06] unconstitutional. In fact, the proposals that
[00:00:10] have been made, namely,
[00:00:13] the inclusion of life partners in the declaration
[00:00:16] of assets and interests, are not found in the Civil
[00:00:20] Code. Mirabela Grădinaru appeared in several
[00:00:23] public actions alongside President Nicu Șordan and represented
[00:00:27] Romania at the White House at a summit organized by the First Lady
[00:00:30] of the United States, Melania Trump.
[00:00:33] The Integrity Law passed the Senate with a large majority, but not without
[00:00:37] political scandal. Amendments mutually supported by PSD and
[00:00:41] Aur, ignited the dispute between parliamentarians. One
[00:00:44] of them provides for the termination of the mandates of elected officials declared
[00:00:47] incompatible before the law comes into force. A provision that
[00:00:51] USR considers directed against the mayor
[00:00:54] of Timișoara, Dominic Fritz. USR has already announced that it will
[00:00:57] challenge the law at the Constitutional
[00:00:59] code weather today either, we have Court. Another amendment also obliges the life
[00:01:02] partners of dignitaries to submit declarations of assets
[00:01:05] and interests. The project was voted with 105 votes
[00:01:09] in favor, eight against and seven abstentions and must be published in the
[00:01:12] Official Gazette by the end of the month. The law is a milestone
[00:01:16] from the PNR, on which the access of 770
[00:01:19] million euros, non-reimbursable
[00:01:21] funds, depends.
[00:01:25] The Biodiversity Law was adopted in the Chamber of Deputies,
[00:01:28] but with amendments, so tomorrow, today, excuse me, the project
[00:01:32] returns to the Senate which will debate the updated form in
[00:01:36] urgent procedure. The law has caused disputes in parliament,
[00:01:39] USR says it voted for the project not to lose almost a billion
[00:01:43] euros from the PNR, but that the added amendments have significantly
[00:01:46] changed the content and could jeopardize the achievement
[00:01:50] of the milestones assumed by Romania. Aur voted
[00:01:52] against after arguing that the new provisions would affect farmers and
[00:01:56] infrastructure development projects.
[00:02:11] of heatwave and drought. Meteorologists warn that temperatures will
[00:02:15] rise again to 40° in the south and south
[00:02:18] east, and thermal discomfort will remain extremely high. Hydrologists
[00:02:21] continue to monitor the very low flows of the Danube and inland
[00:02:25] rivers, while authorities recommend avoiding travel during
[00:02:29] midday hours, staying hydrated and increased attention to the risk of vegetation
[00:02:32] fires which remains very high in many areas of the
[00:02:35] country. Thousands of young people are preparing for one of the biggest
[00:02:39] music events in Europe. Today Untold begins in Cluj
[00:02:43] Napoca, and authorities have mobilized additional police,
[00:02:46] gendarmerie, firefighters and medical teams. Organizers
[00:02:49] estimate hundreds of thousands of participants during the festival and
[00:02:53] recommend those arriving in the city to follow traffic restrictions,
[00:02:56] changes in public transport and special safety measures.
[00:03:01] Europe is following the security investigation launched by Germany after
[00:03:04] the discovery of a drone loaded with explosives near a Ukrainian
[00:03:08] cargo plane at Leipzig Halle Airport. The detonator
[00:03:11] did not work and authorities avoided a possible attack on one
[00:03:15] of the most important logistical hubs used for aid
[00:03:18] destined for Ukraine. And the migration crisis in Ceuta
[00:03:22] remains on the European agenda. The European Union is preparing
[00:03:25] financial and operational support for Spain. After tens of thousands
[00:03:29] of people were pushed towards the European enclave in North
[00:03:32] Africa through trafficking networks and false information spread
[00:03:36] online. And Japan marks 81 years since
[00:03:40] the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, at local time
[00:03:43] 8:15 AM at the moment of the explosion in
[00:03:45] 1945, a minute of silence will be observed at a ceremony
[00:03:49] attended by approximately 9200 residents.
[00:03:52] This year's commemoration has a special
[00:03:56] political significance in a world where nuclear threats have returned to the
[00:03:59] discourse of major powers, and conflicts in the Middle East
[00:04:03] and Ukraine are once again putting pressure on global
[00:04:05] security.
[00:04:13] 7 million Literally fiery days for the firefighters
[00:04:16] from Mehedinți, who intervened yesterday afternoon and
[00:04:19] last night at two dry vegetation fires that burned over
[00:04:23] 100 hectares in two localities. At temperatures over
[00:04:27] 37°, the military fought flames that exceeded
[00:04:30] even 4 meters in height, due to the heat, dry
[00:04:34] vegetation and gusts of wind in some situations. The fire was
[00:04:37] intentionally set with the purpose of destroying dry
[00:04:41] vegetation. High temperatures, which
[00:04:45] exceeded 37°, dry vegetation and strong
[00:04:49] winds hampered the mission of the firefighters who intervened to
[00:04:52] extinguish the fire and people tried to stop the advance of the flames
[00:04:56] by digging ditches with shovels. One of the critical situations was in...
[00:05:00] one Malovăț, we find ourselves with the fire and now it's from
[00:05:03] the valley, it comes from the forest it enters the village here, it's approaching
[00:05:06] the village, close, what else to say, now go
[00:05:09] you guys, it enters the village from that valley. "The fire
[00:05:13] was extinguished, I've been extinguishing for half a day
[00:05:17] since last night, the fire, from yesterday and
[00:05:20] I'm extinguishing it with this shovel
[00:05:23] until, look at my eyes, smoke gets in my eyes, I don't even
[00:05:27] know anymore, the firefighters initially intervened with two fire trucks and
[00:05:31] requested additional support after very large
[00:05:34] flames approached two houses, about
[00:05:37] 300 hectares of dry vegetation and stubble and about 60 hectares of
[00:05:41] litter from the willow forest were burning." "We localized it towards
[00:05:44] Bibăn village, it was necessary to request another fire truck, the fire
[00:05:47] spreading on all sides
[00:05:51] of these two localities. The fire at this moment is
[00:05:54] localized, we are working on extinguishing it, but at this moment
[00:05:57] the situation is. The second intervention was in the commune
[00:06:00] of Devesel, where on an area of about 50 hectares, dry
[00:06:04] vegetation and acacia forest burned.
[00:06:08] We are not escaping the red
[00:06:12] a... already a suffocating morning
[00:06:15] over 25 26° at this
[00:06:18] hour in many areas of the country. I was telling you in the
[00:06:21] coming hours, the heatwave remains present,
[00:06:24] but maybe, maybe the rains are coming. Dana
[00:06:44] that for Saturday I have somewhat better news,
[00:06:47] in the sense that temperatures will drop a little, not significantly, there will also be
[00:06:51] some rain towards evening, indeed, but in the form of
[00:06:55] a storm and isolated, possibly
[00:06:58] hail. Let's see what's happening. Today, the heatwave
[00:07:01] persists, maximums will reach 33° on the coast
[00:07:05] and up to 41° in the western
[00:07:08] plain. The sky will be clear throughout the day, but in the afternoon
[00:07:12] and evening, instability will increase in mountainous
[00:07:16] and sub-mountainous areas, then in the west, center and north. There will be
[00:07:19] showers, electrical discharges, storms and isolated hail.
[00:07:23] And in the capital, we expect
[00:07:27] another scorching day, and thermal discomfort will be
[00:07:30] high, especially at lunchtime. Maximums reach
[00:07:34] 38° in the shade, possibly
[00:07:37] a few passing
[00:13:32] Almost one in six Romanians starts their day or ends
[00:13:35] their day with a cigarette, an electronic cigarette or another nicotine
[00:13:38] product. New Eurostat data shows that
[00:13:41] 17.6% of Romanians over 16
[00:13:45] years old consume such products daily, although the percentage
[00:13:48] is slightly lower than three years ago, Romania remains above the European
[00:13:52] Union average which is around 16.5%. The most
[00:13:55] affected category is not the elderly, but adults in full professional
[00:13:59] activity, between 35 and
[00:14:02] 49 years old. In the European Union, the highest
[00:14:05] percentages are recorded in Bulgaria, 26.3%,
[00:14:09] Sweden, 23.9% and Croatia
[00:14:12] 23.6%. While at the opposite pole we see
[00:14:16] the Netherlands with 9.9%. Ireland with
[00:14:19] 11.7% and Belgium with
[00:14:22] 13.6%. Romania.
[00:14:26] 18.6% above the European average, even if it has dropped slightly from 17.9 in
[00:14:30] 2022. The impact, however, is much greater than
[00:14:33] it seems. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco kills over
[00:14:38] people every year worldwide, and in Europe
[00:14:42] approximately 1.1 million people die from
[00:14:45] tobacco consumption or exposure to cigarette smoke. Smoking is
[00:14:49] responsible for a large part of lung cancer cases, cardiovascular
[00:14:52] diseases and chronic respiratory diseases. Specialists warn
[00:14:56] that the phenomenon is changing, it is no longer just
[00:14:59] about classic cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, heated tobacco products
[00:15:03] and nicotine pouches are gaining ground, especially among
[00:15:06] young people. Nicotine, however, remains the same addictive substance,
[00:15:10] regardless of the form in which it is consumed. Doctors say that
[00:15:13] the effects of quitting appear surprisingly quickly, blood pressure starts to
[00:15:17] drop in just 20 minutes, and after one year the risk of heart disease
[00:15:21] is reduced by almost half. The conclusion of the report
[00:15:24] is simple. Romania is making progress, but still smokes more than the European
[00:15:27] average, and the cost is paid not only in money, but especially
[00:15:31] in lost years
[00:15:32] of life.
[00:15:43] Hundreds of residents of Slobozia protested in front of the prefecture and
[00:15:47] indignantly demanded clean air and potable water in the network.
[00:15:51] People have reached the limit of their patience due to the pestilential smell that
[00:15:55] poisons them drop by drop. They all point a finger at
[00:15:58] the company that manages the wastewater in the city.
[00:16:01] The inability of local authorities to provide them with clean, breathable
[00:16:05] air is what brought people
[00:16:08] out into the streets. At dusk, a heavy smell enters their
[00:16:11] homes. Effectively, not even with the windows and doors
[00:16:15] closed, could one stay in the house. We live in a very
[00:16:19] polluted city. It is, it is terrible
[00:16:23] not to be able to breathe. What does it smell
[00:16:26] like? Effectively, something toxic. The fact is that since
[00:16:29] 2024 they have destroyed us and in
[00:16:32] 2026 they have effectively gassed us.
[00:16:36] For five years. We can't sleep at night. Also, people
[00:16:39] are protesting about the water that is paid
[00:16:42] for as potable water. In reality, no one in this city
[00:16:46] consumes tap water. The company that
[00:16:49] manages the wastewater in Slobozia, Urbane SA, which is subordinated
[00:16:53] to the County Council, is one of the polluters, say
[00:16:56] the protesters. Representatives of the Ialomița Environmental
[00:16:59] Guard say that ammonia nitrogen enters
[00:17:02] the wastewater treatment plant with a concentration of 80
[00:17:06] milligrams. and paradoxically exits with a concentration
[00:17:09] of 90 milligrams per liter, a concentration that
[00:17:13] goes into the Ialomița River and is 45 times higher
[00:17:16] than the maximum permissible limits. The odors from the plant
[00:17:19] due to the malfunctioning of the treatment plant, the exceedances are
[00:17:23] fantastically large, for hydrogen sulfide, but
[00:17:27] the exceedances are extremely large, in the case that we find that not all
[00:17:31] measures have been implemented, we will issue a new notification
[00:17:34] for the suspension of the environmental permit. After numerous fines and
[00:17:38] criminal complaints from the Environmental Guard and Romanian Waters, the company still
[00:17:41] operates with the same deficiencies. A solution, from my point
[00:17:44] of view, and it is a medium or long-term one, would be for the County
[00:17:48] Council and Slobozia City Hall to invest as much money as possible
[00:17:52] in this wastewater treatment plant. They receive fines of tens of thousands
[00:17:55] of euros every month, I don't think we're solving the problem. Last
[00:17:59] month, the commissioners of the National Environmental Guard measured air quality and
[00:18:02] found extremely high exceedances of the hydrogen sulfide concentration in
[00:18:06] the atmosphere. This is also the reason why they filed a criminal complaint against
[00:18:10] the director of the company, who is now under judicial
[00:18:13] control. Emotions continue for teachers, even
[00:18:17] after the tenure exam, the number of those who passed is three
[00:18:21] times higher than the number of vacant positions for
[00:18:24] permanent employment. There are situations where
[00:18:27] even the maximum grade does not guarantee a position, especially in large
[00:18:31] cities. Ionuț Bolocan is a history
[00:18:34] teacher, he got a 970 grade on the
[00:18:38] tenure exam, but he doesn't have high hopes of getting a permanent position in
[00:18:41] Iași, unfortunately there are no tenured
[00:18:43] positions, there are only two positions
[00:18:47] in private high schools, therefore, currently
[00:18:51] there are no very high hopes, just over 6000
[00:18:54] positions are vacant in education this year and there are almost three times as many
[00:18:58] teachers who have met the conditions to occupy a permanent
[00:19:01] position, teachers are willing to commute
[00:19:05] just to have a place to teach. For what subject? For English
[00:19:09] language. What grade did you get on the exam?
[00:19:11] 9.15. Do you have a choice, are there
[00:19:14] positions? Uh, quite few. Will you accept a
[00:19:17] position that is outside your home
[00:19:21] locality? Yes, yes. Are you willing to
[00:19:24] commute? Sure, yes. My goal is to do
[00:19:28] my job, anywhere, it doesn't matter. No, we take
[00:19:32] what comes, what is there. For what subject. Music, music, musical
[00:19:35] education. This is the first year that.
[00:19:37] I will teach, I hope to get a position
[00:19:40] as good as possible. Last year, 3000 more
[00:19:44] positions were offered for competition. The measures adopted by the executive
[00:19:47] to supplement each teacher's norm with two more hours and to reorganize
[00:19:51] schools in rural areas have led to a reduction in the number of available
[00:19:55] places in education. We have indeed more
[00:19:58] candidates for educators and teachers, the number of
[00:20:02] tenured positions is not very high, but
[00:20:05] we have many positions for substitution. We also have subjects where
[00:20:09] we have only one tenured position:
[00:20:12] chemistry, physics, mechanics, teacher,
[00:20:15] educator, accompaniment, musical
[00:20:18] education. Just over half of the teachers who took
[00:20:22] the tenure exams this year scored over seven,
[00:20:26] and 2000 submitted
[00:20:27] blank pages.
[00:20:30] Romanians are buying more and more often from Temu, Shein or Aliexpress, but
[00:20:34] not just clothes, what products they order predominantly, I'll tell you after a short
[00:20:38] break here at the Morning News, stay with
[00:20:41] us.
[00:22:56] After the bus overturned,
[00:22:59] there was a minute of silence, nothing was heard at
[00:23:02] all, there were only broken
[00:23:04] windows, I see my
[00:23:07] sister and I also see a hand, I
[00:23:11] prayed to God that it wasn't her hand, I touched her
[00:23:14] here, if I'm not mistaken and then I realized that
[00:23:18] that was her arm.
[00:23:23] My colleague's phone announced that
[00:23:26] there had been a mass accident, a group of children who were
[00:23:29] traveling to a festival, one of them
[00:23:32] was very seriously injured, basically both upper
[00:23:36] limbs were amputated in a fraction of a second,
[00:23:39] I have no idea about the impact, I only heard about it
[00:23:43] and whenever I hear about it, I feel like it's from a different
[00:23:46] movie, a different person was there, not me, I didn't know if...
[00:23:52] she would put her arm back, I just took it, it was just a part
[00:23:55] of Alexia and I didn't want to leave it behind, she told me she was very tired and wanted to go to
[00:23:59] sleep, they told her not to fall asleep under any
[00:24:02] circumstances and I was knocking somehow on the ambulance
[00:24:05] door so she wouldn't fall asleep.
[00:24:24] Our only thought, mine certainly and I am
[00:24:27] convinced that of all my colleagues, was to
[00:24:31] try the impossible, to re-implant
[00:24:34] both hands, not just so she could have them, but also so she could
[00:24:37] use them. For each
[00:24:40] of us I think, for me, with certainty, the operation lasted a
[00:24:44] fraction of a second,
[00:24:46] in real time it was around 20
[00:24:50] hours, she only took a sip of water in those 20 hours and
[00:24:53] she stayed attentive there for me, a
[00:24:57] person she knew, it shows how
[00:25:00] big her heart is, the doctor
[00:25:03] waited at 12 at night alone in the hospital
[00:25:07] hall downstairs to tell me everything she did for my child in the operating room
[00:25:11] for 20 hours with her team. The girl first
[00:25:14] asked us where her parents were, and
[00:25:18] the next phrase was: "thank you for operating".
[00:25:40] to put on a shirt or a blouse, it's harder, so I need
[00:25:44] my mom, same with doing my hair, but I've also
[00:25:47] evolved, so I can eat, I can brush my teeth
[00:25:51] now, which is a very big achievement for me, I had moments when
[00:25:55] I thought wow,
[00:25:58] why, why did God want me to go through this and
[00:26:01] I would vent. I would cry until I couldn't anymore and the next
[00:26:05] day back to recovery, every night when I pray to God, I pray for
[00:26:08] him to be with me on this whole journey and
[00:26:12] to be able to move my hands like before, maybe even better,
[00:26:16] that's exactly what I tell him every night.
[00:26:43] Beyond the Dniester, the truth is often only
[00:26:46] whispered. The lives of people are severely
[00:26:49] tested by fear, uncertainty and
[00:26:51] compromise. Week after week. Ion
[00:26:55] Manole opens the files of a region where
[00:26:58] people's rights, freedoms and safety are severely affected.
[00:27:03] Transnistria, life in the grey
[00:27:06] zone.
[00:27:13] Captivating stories are the most real, without
[00:27:17] special effects, without makeup, without
[00:27:20] virtual scenery. You have an authentic
[00:27:23] series, with strong characters and
[00:27:27] unexpected resolutions. For them,
[00:27:30] destiny is the best screenwriter. these are
[00:27:33] the stars of "Destinies like in movies",
[00:27:36] with Iuliana
[00:27:37] Marciuc.
