[00:00:16] Good afternoon and welcome to the news. With the Danube's flow at a historic low of
[00:00:19] 1400 m3/ second, with scorching temperatures across the
[00:00:23] country and increasing energy consumption in the evening hours,
[00:00:26] authorities are renewing their appeal to the public, companies and
[00:00:30] institutions, urging
[00:00:32] first day of the festival, which everyone to save at least until the end
[00:00:35] of the month, as long as the state of alert is in effect. Other countries are also taking measures to reduce consumption.
[00:00:39] Details will follow immediately after other headlines
[00:00:42] of the
[00:00:45] edition. In the midst of the heatwave, storms are taking over Romania. Meteorologists
[00:00:48] have maintained a red code in the west of the country, but have also issued warnings of
[00:00:52] accentuated atmospheric
[00:00:53] instability.
[00:00:57] Extensive investigation in Germany after a security incident at
[00:01:01] Leipzig airport where an explosive drone was discovered, and
[00:01:04] accusations point to
[00:01:25] on the scorching temperatures, and on the national energy
[00:01:28] system. It puts pressure on production units due to
[00:01:32] high consumption during this period, the government will oblige
[00:01:36] companies that use large amounts of electricity to
[00:01:39] limit their activity. This is a reserve mechanism discussed in today's
[00:01:43] meeting, which targets approximately 80 large
[00:01:46] consumers. My colleague Vlad Ung has more information. Vlad, nice to
[00:01:50] meet you. What exactly do the new
[00:01:52] rules stipulate? Nice to meet you. The decision adopted by the government
[00:01:56] today provides for nine scenarios that may present
[00:01:59] a risk to Romania's energy security, meaning those
[00:02:03] cases in which the executive can request and impose
[00:02:06] consumption limits on large industrial companies, and
[00:02:10] here we are talking about cyber attacks, military
[00:02:13] conflict, scorching weather that
[00:02:17] can lead to drought, or risks arising from
[00:02:20] extremely severe winters with low
[00:02:23] temperatures over a longer period than a
[00:02:26] week. In these situations, the government can... a
[00:02:30] list from the Ministry of Energy with those companies that have a high
[00:02:34] electricity consumption, and through a notification sent
[00:02:37] 24 hours in advance, it can impose a reduction in
[00:02:41] electricity consumption for all these
[00:02:44] companies, but only if the situation demands it. The fact that
[00:02:48] this decision was adopted today does not mean that this
[00:02:51] measure will necessarily be taken by the government in the coming
[00:02:55] weeks. It is also important to mention that another government
[00:02:59] decision will be needed to establish clear
[00:03:02] rules after today's decision, and it is very
[00:03:06] important that Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan will
[00:03:09] explain how these rules will be applied, because
[00:03:13] trade union representatives told TVR that they would like that if
[00:03:17] this rule is applied and a factory closes because it will no longer be
[00:03:20] supplied with electricity, there will be a need for those employees to enter
[00:03:24] technical unemployment and to receive monthly
[00:03:27] flow at the Cernavodă 75% of their salary.
[00:03:36] Vlad, thank you. Romania approached a new summer record for energy consumption last night. Real-time data
[00:03:40] recorded by Transelectrica shows that at 9:19 PM,
[00:03:43] it reached a critical level of
[00:03:47] over 7730 MW, one of
[00:03:51] the highest this season. The difference between demand
[00:03:54] and production exceeded 2300 MW and was covered by
[00:03:58] imports, which accounted for approximately 30% of the
[00:04:02] country's needs. The Ministry of Energy is launching a new appeal to the
[00:04:05] population, companies, and institutions to save energy between
[00:04:09] 7 PM and 11 PM, at least until the end of the month, while
[00:04:12] we are in an energy alert state. Even if people manage to save, they
[00:04:16] will feel the energy crisis in their bills, as the prices
[00:04:20] set in ongoing contracts expire, specialists
[00:04:23] warn.
[00:04:27] The capital is saving energy after the government declared a
[00:04:31] national state of alert. The Bucharest City Hall has implemented a
[00:04:34] plan to reduce consumption. Since last night,
[00:04:38] public lighting on the streets and in parks administered by the
[00:04:40] municipality operates at a reduced intensity to limit
[00:04:44] consumption during peak hours.
[00:04:47] 25 measures to reduce energy consumption have been
[00:04:51] adopted by the City Hall. These will be applied throughout
[00:04:55] August to reduce pressure on the national energy
[00:04:58] system, especially during the peak consumption period in the
[00:05:01] evening. One of the measures taken by the General City Hall
[00:05:05] of the Capital is to reduce public lighting in the parks under its
[00:05:09] administration by 30%. And where
[00:05:11] it is not allowed, even with the total shutdown of
[00:05:14] public lighting. Along with the City Hall of Bucharest, the
[00:05:18] City Hall of Sector 6 also decided to reduce the light
[00:05:21] intensity by 50% in parks and children's
[00:05:25] playgrounds. Energy consumption will also be reduced by
[00:05:28] abandoning the architectural lighting of the City Hall's headquarters
[00:05:31] and subordinate institutions, including
[00:05:35] museums. Bucharest residents say that the measures are welcome, although many
[00:05:38] state that they have not noticed a difference in terms of park lighting. I
[00:05:42] think it's fine, I don't have a problem with that, but
[00:05:46] no, you haven't felt the intensity at all, I haven't felt the difference, honestly, I haven't looked, usually the light is not very strong in
[00:05:50] Cismigiu, we go out, we walk, we try to stay outside more, and
[00:05:54] at home, well, the fact that I'm not home means everything is off, both lights and
[00:05:57] air conditioning, it should be less anyway, because it's not needed in the park with such intensity, but
[00:06:01] haven't you noticed anything changed tonight, no, not at all yet,
[00:06:05] no, at home do you take any measures to reduce
[00:06:08] consumption? this energy, yes, I always take measures because I
[00:06:11] don't like strong light. Energy saving measures will
[00:06:15] also be applied to the company that manages public transport in
[00:06:19] Bucharest. Electric buses will no longer be charged during the
[00:06:22] critical interval between 7:30 PM and
[00:06:26] 11 PM. The municipal company Termoenergetica will also stop
[00:06:28] non-essential lighting and will limit the operation of hot
[00:06:32] water pressure booster pumps. We also have
[00:06:36] public institutions where no measures have been taken. For
[00:06:39] example, the House of the People, one
[00:06:43] of the large consumers of electricity, where
[00:06:46] architectural lighting is not turned off. Currently,
[00:06:50] the daily electricity consumption in Bucharest is
[00:06:53] approximately 1000 MW. The reductions and
[00:06:56] proposed measures are good, I can't say they
[00:06:59] don't help, but they don't have a significant impact. It is more
[00:07:02] of an example than with
[00:07:05] obvious effects and that actually
[00:07:09] help. The operators of illuminated
[00:07:12] advertising panels who have contracts with the capital's city hall say they will respect
[00:07:15] the measures imposed by the municipality. However,
[00:07:18] last night, the panels in Bucharest's major intersections were still
[00:07:22] lit.
[00:07:24] Meanwhile, at the entrance to Romania, the Danube's flow reached 1400 cubic
[00:07:28] meters per second, just like in 1985, when it
[00:07:31] recorded a historic low. The situation puts pressure
[00:07:34] on specialists who are trying to secure the necessary water for Reactor 2 at
[00:07:38] Cernavodă. In the Bala branch area, the countdown has begun
[00:07:42] for with stone that should
[00:07:46] raise the level on the old Danube. Alexandru Costache is there and brings
[00:07:49] new information. Alexandru, good day, we
[00:07:51] are listening.
[00:07:54] Good day everyone. The operation to sink the first barge
[00:07:58] will begin in less than an hour. The loading of the last
[00:08:01] last barge was completed somewhere
[00:08:05] behind me, where Pârjoaia Rock is also
[00:08:08] located. All four barges will be sunk in a controlled manner
[00:08:12] somewhere in this area where there is a
[00:08:16] green buoy, our colleague is showing you now.
[00:08:19] In fact, in the images you can see the barges
[00:08:23] brought from Galati, which will be sunk in a
[00:08:26] controlled manner. The mission is intended
[00:08:29] to direct water from the
[00:08:33] Bala branch towards the main branch of the Danube or the Old
[00:08:36] Danube, so that the
[00:08:40] nuclear power plant increases. The intervention
[00:08:43] Monday detonated
[00:08:45] the Pârjoaia rock that was preventing water from flowing to
[00:08:49] the main arm of the Danube, and everything is happening against
[00:08:52] the background of an extremely low Danube flow at the country's entrance,
[00:08:56] almost at the historical minimum of 1400 cubic meters per
[00:09:00] second, which was only recorded again in
[00:09:02] 1985.
[00:09:05] The stakes of the intervention are significant:
[00:09:08] raising the water level at the Cernavodă nuclear power plant so that
[00:09:12] unit number 2 can continue to operate, given that unit number 1 was
[00:09:15] shut down on July 28. If unit
[00:09:18] number 2 also shut down, then Romania
[00:09:22] would lose its entire nuclear energy production of
[00:09:26] 1400 MW, which represents
[00:09:29] the equivalent of one fifth of Romania's
[00:09:32] total energy production, which would
[00:09:35] mean that our country would have to import
[00:09:39] additional energy at very high prices, and the
[00:09:42] prices on the spot market in Romania are
[00:09:45] today 183
[00:09:49] euros.
[00:09:50] So, as you can see, the stakes are
[00:09:53] very high, and the situation is aggravated by the heatwave,
[00:09:57] this week a peak consumption of 7800
[00:10:01] MW is estimated, and in the critical evening hours,
[00:10:04] if energy production drops to 4000, 4300
[00:10:08] MW, it means that Romania will be forced to
[00:10:11] import 3000 to 3500 MW at very high
[00:10:15] prices, as I was telling you. Well, all these
[00:10:19] operations I was talking about, the detonation of Pârjoaia
[00:10:22] rock and the dredging of the Danube,
[00:10:26] the sinking of the four barges could raise the water
[00:10:29] level at Cernavodă by 10-12
[00:10:33] cm. Therefore, there is a huge energy stake in
[00:10:36] raising the water level so that the Cernavodă unit can continue
[00:10:40] to operate. Alex, thank you. Moreover, in several
[00:10:43] European countries, authorities are appealing to citizens to be careful about their
[00:10:47] electricity consumption and to save whenever they can, so that there is no need for
[00:10:51] rationing. Energy production.
[00:11:25] of the Danube, the Paks nuclear power plant has reduced, temporarily stopped
[00:11:28] production. The government has appealed to the population to save energy between
[00:11:32] 5 PM and 10 PM, including by limiting the use of air
[00:11:36] conditioning and by limiting the charging of electric
[00:11:38] vehicles. Budapest has announced that if the situation worsens, it will
[00:11:42] introduce rationing for large industrial consumers.
[00:11:46] Measures such as turning off decorative lighting and reducing
[00:11:49] some railway transports have already been taken. In Croatia, there is a red heatwave
[00:11:53] alert, and river levels are at historic lows. Smaller
[00:11:57] rivers such as Orleava and Plitvica are almost dry. Rivers that
[00:12:01] could be noted now only have centimeters.
[00:12:04] I am one of the swimmers who has been swimming here for years, and I don't
[00:12:08] remember the Drava ever being so low and so warm.
[00:12:11] We measured the temperature
[00:12:13] at 28°C, and here by the boats, you simply can't even
[00:12:17] swim because the current is only about 15 cm deep. Fishermen say they haven't
[00:12:21] seen the Danube so low in 40 years. Transport.
[00:12:27] So, there is no navigability at all, all barges are anchored,
[00:12:31] either in ports or outside the areas. Bulgaria
[00:12:34] keeps the Kozloduy nuclear power plant operational, despite record
[00:12:38] Danube levels, but only for a few weeks if nothing
[00:12:42] changes. The complex produces 2/3 of the national requirement.
[00:12:45] In addition, Bulgaria has invested massively in batteries, including for
[00:12:49] storing energy produced by prosumers, households and
[00:12:52] companies that have photovoltaic panels and basically
[00:12:55] feed more current into the grid than they consume.
[00:12:59] The process in which Călin Georgescu was indicted for attempted
[00:13:03] coup d'état can begin on the merits. The Supreme Court rejected
[00:13:06] the appeals of Georgescu and the other defendants in the case, including
[00:13:10] the mercenary Horațiu Potra. However, it is not the only case
[00:13:13] of the former presidential candidate. Călin Georgescu was also
[00:13:17] indicted in a second case in which he is accused of Legionary propaganda and of promoting
[00:13:20] persons guilty of genocide and war
[00:13:24] crimes. In April, Georgescu, I remind you, finally
[00:13:27] escaped judicial control more than a year after the implementation of this
[00:13:31] preventive measure.
[00:13:35] The heat is suffocating the west of the country, but it is gradually starting to overlap with
[00:13:39] storms. Meteorologists have issued a red heatwave code valid until tomorrow
[00:13:43] morning at 10 AM for the western and northwestern counties, where temperatures
[00:13:47] will be up to 41°C.
[00:13:49] Tomorrow we have heatwave codes in the west of the country, in the south and in the east.
[00:13:53] In the meantime, storms are also coming, mainly in the north and
[00:13:57] center of the country and in the south of the country, regions targeted by an
[00:14:00] orange code for atmospheric instability. For the rest
[00:14:04] of the country, with the exception of Dobrogea, a yellow code for storms
[00:14:07] has been issued. Tomorrow, almost the entire country, with the exception of the southeastern area, is under
[00:14:11] a yellow code for atmospheric instability, storms and
[00:14:13] downpours. We remain under the
[00:14:17] influence of the heatwave during this afternoon,
[00:14:20] especially in the counties under
[00:14:23] a red code, we expect
[00:14:26] very high temperatures, temperatures
[00:14:29] comparable to the absolute records for August
[00:14:33] in the west and northwest of the country, where
[00:14:37] as early as yesterday afternoon, 40,
[00:14:40] 41 degrees in the shade were recorded,
[00:14:44] we expect 40, 41 degrees again, we are also talking about
[00:14:48] atmospheric instability today, it has been missing in recent
[00:14:51] days, but we count more, especially in low areas. and in
[00:14:55] counties under an orange code, counties in the
[00:14:58] southwest, center and north, northeast of the territory
[00:15:01] for wind intensifications, strong
[00:15:05] gusts that will even reach around 90
[00:15:08] km/h and at the same time there will also
[00:15:11] be storms.
[00:15:13] Climate change is being felt more and more strongly in Romania. A study
[00:15:17] conducted by a group of experts shows that in large cities such as Cluj Napoca,
[00:15:20] temperatures are rising faster than initial estimates indicated.
[00:15:24] The current infrastructure and measures taken so far by authorities are
[00:15:28] no longer sufficient to cope with extreme heat waves and torrential
[00:15:32] rain episodes. We are reaching, in the central
[00:15:35] area of Cluj, a very high risk, and the same applies to
[00:15:39] Florești. Red on the map means that the city is getting hotter and
[00:15:42] poorer more and more. For experts studying changes,
[00:15:46] there is evidence that in large cities, such as Cluj Napoca, extreme heat
[00:15:50] waves are much longer and more frequent. The values
[00:15:54] estimated by climate models 20 years ago are actually
[00:15:57] lower than what we have in reality. They underestimated the reality,
[00:16:01] it is even more severe. And episodes of torrential rain have
[00:16:04] become increasingly devastating, the study by the Cluj
[00:16:08] Metropolitan Area Association, in collaboration with Babeș-Bolyai University
[00:16:11] and European experts, shows. Limited construction
[00:16:15] in large urban agglomerations and tree planting should be
[00:16:18] constant concerns, as should replacing asphalt.
[00:16:22] The creation of sponge parks, like the railway
[00:16:25] park, for example, where the designers started
[00:16:28] from the very beginning with the idea of draining, in
[00:16:32] case of rapid floods, draining the excess
[00:16:35] water through a system
[00:16:38] of discharge towards the lakes in the park, planting trees and generally
[00:16:42] trees with wide crowns is the best, the
[00:16:45] best measure, these measures in which we no longer have continuous
[00:16:49] asphalt and we have this paving in
[00:16:52] slabs, facilitate water infiltration. At
[00:16:55] the national level, problems will be increasing over the next 10 years,
[00:16:59] climatologists warn. The biggest problem are these heat
[00:17:03] waves that will be even more intense than now, with a higher
[00:17:06] frequency. They will be interrupted by periods of
[00:17:09] stronger instabilities than now, water will not have time to
[00:17:13] infiltrate the soil, hence big problems, even bigger
[00:17:17] problems in the city. A new study conducted by the Cluj Metropolitan Area and
[00:17:20] funded by European money will show what measures Romania can take
[00:17:24] to limit the effects of climate change.
[00:17:28] The High Court of Cassation and Justice should settle the war between
[00:17:32] justice and the government today. Magistrates demanded that the executive
[00:17:35] be obliged to pay over 5.
[00:17:38] billion lei, outstanding money earned through lawsuits. My colleague Liliana Năstase
[00:17:41] has all the details. Liliana, nice to meet you. How did it come to this
[00:17:45] situation?
[00:17:48] Good to find you. It all started when the Romanian budget was
[00:17:51] drafted this year, and
[00:17:54] lawmakers decided that the
[00:17:57] one billion euros, 5.2 billion
[00:18:01] lei, needed to pay
[00:18:04] outstanding amounts to magistrates, should go to social
[00:18:08] assistance. At that moment, the High Court of Cassation and
[00:18:11] Justice, through its president Lia Savonea, decided to challenge
[00:18:15] this decision in court, specifically at the Bucharest Court
[00:18:18] of Appeal, which in a record time of less than a month, ruled
[00:18:22] that the executive must immediately pay the money, and even
[00:18:26] set a maximum deadline of 10 days from the final
[00:18:29] decision to return the money to
[00:18:33] the magistrates. Subsequently, the government
[00:18:36] attacked this decision at the High Court of
[00:18:40] Cassation and Justice, which had initiated the action in
[00:18:43] court, and in a single term
[00:18:47] the government's complaint was heard,
[00:18:49] all requests were rejected, including the one
[00:18:52] to send the file to the European Court of
[00:18:56] Justice, and it remained for pronouncement, but the pronouncement
[00:19:00] has already been postponed twice, and today, from moment to moment, the High
[00:19:03] Court of Cassation and Justice will have to say whether it will set a new
[00:19:07] deadline for pronouncement or if it will render
[00:19:11] a decision that will be final and enforceable, and if the decision
[00:19:15] from the Bucharest Court of Appeal remains, the government will be
[00:19:18] obliged within a maximum of 10 days to give
[00:19:22] 5.2 billion RON into
[00:19:25] the magistrates' accounts. Meanwhile, a decision is also expected
[00:19:28] from the Constitutional Court, which analyzed a complaint filed by
[00:19:31] interim prime minister Ilie Bolojan. This complaint
[00:19:34] was analyzed, but the court considered that it could
[00:19:38] only rule at the end of
[00:19:41] September. Liliana, thank
[00:19:44] you. Consultations resume at Cotroceni
[00:19:48] Palace on the salary law. The presidential
[00:19:51] adviser on economic issues, Radu Burnete, is starting discussions
[00:19:54] right now with representatives of the parties that formed the governing
[00:19:57] coalition: PSD, PNL, USR, and UDMR. The meeting comes after, at the beginning
[00:20:01] of the week, the representative of the presidential administration met with the leaders
[00:20:05] of the trade unions in the healthcare system. Sanitas
[00:20:08] then stated that it would not accept any law that
[00:20:12] generates income losses for employees in health and social
[00:20:15] assistance. And healthcare solidarity also demanded guarantees that wage
[00:20:18] incomes would increase upon the entry into force of the new
[00:20:22] law. My colleague Alina Sorocean
[00:20:25] has more information
[00:20:28] on this topic. Alina, nice to meet you. What new things could
[00:20:32] today's meeting at Cotroceni Palace bring?
[00:20:35] Hello. After this technical
[00:20:40] meeting, we will see if an agreement will be reached regarding the
[00:20:43] unitary salary law, a law that should be adopted by the end of this
[00:20:47] month to fulfill the PNRR and not
[00:20:51] lose European money. We are talking
[00:20:54] about a law that has sparked a lot of controversy and
[00:20:57] discontent, misunderstandings between the leaders of the political parties that have been
[00:21:00] in government until now, between PSD, PNL, USR, and UDMR. Well,
[00:21:04] today, representatives of these parties came here to
[00:21:07] Cotroceni Palace, they are not the leaders, they are not the presidents of these
[00:21:11] parties, but they are representatives who are effectively dealing with and
[00:21:14] working effectively on this unitary salary law. There are many
[00:21:18] topics to debate. what happens with that bonus for
[00:21:22] class masters in education because that bonus in the new
[00:21:25] salary law is 400 RON in the context in which at the
[00:21:29] moment a class master
[00:21:31] receives 10% of their salary for
[00:21:35] this position. There are also
[00:21:37] dissatisfactions from the healthcare trade unions, but also from
[00:21:41] all other sectors because all trade unions have shown that once
[00:21:45] the new law is applied, they could wake up with much lower
[00:21:49] incomes, and so in this situation, the trade unions have asked
[00:21:52] those from PSD and AUR not to vote for this law. Social Democrats
[00:21:56] say they don't believe that a consensus will be reached, given
[00:22:00] that a lot of funds are needed to meet all
[00:22:03] these requirements.
[00:22:07] Thank you, Alina. A new level of danger, that's how German
[00:22:10] authorities categorize the explosive drone incident discovered last night
[00:22:14] at Leipzig airport, one of the largest logistics centers for
[00:22:18] cargo transport in Europe. The incident is treated as a
[00:22:22] terrorist one. The North Atlantic Alliance has been informed about
[00:22:25] the incident, and the investigation launched leads to
[00:22:27] Moscow.
[00:22:29] The drone was discovered by an airport
[00:22:31] employee in the security area of the southern runway, near a
[00:22:35] Ukrainian cargo plane. According to authorities, during
[00:22:38] takeoff, the cargo plane collided with an
[00:22:42] unknown flying object near the
[00:22:44] airport. All flights were temporarily
[00:22:48] suspended. The southern runway was.
[00:22:50] nach Identifikation der Drohne und der
[00:22:54] Vermutung, dass es sich um eine Sprengstoffladung
[00:22:57] handeln könnte, wurde die
[00:23:00] Polizei, die Bundespolizei, die Landespolizei, die
[00:23:04] Bundespolizei, die Entschergruppe der Bundespolizei
[00:23:06] in Bereitschaft,
[00:23:08] Einsatzbereitschaft gesetzt und
[00:23:12] hat auch dann die Entschärfung dieser
[00:23:15] Sprengladung vorgenommen.
[00:23:20] Only because the detonator was faulty, the German interior minister
[00:23:23] convened an emergency meeting with all heads of
[00:23:26] security services. Es ist
[00:23:29] eine neue
[00:23:31] Gefahrenqualität,
[00:23:34] Drohnensichtungen, Drohnenbedrohungen,
[00:23:38] auch im hybriden Zusammenhang, das kennen wir aus der
[00:23:42] Vergangenheit, dass seine Drohne
[00:23:45] bewaffnet mit Sprengstoff
[00:23:48] sich hier auf einem Orice
[00:23:50] runway regarding the origin of the drone and who was
[00:23:59] behind the operation remains open. The Ukrainian diplomatic
[00:24:02] representative in Berlin blamed Moscow.
[00:24:06] German airports are on high alert after a series of unauthorized
[00:24:10] drone overflights in areas such as military
[00:24:13] installations, energy terminals, and logistics
[00:24:16] companies. Leipzig Airport is a transport hub of
[00:24:20] major importance, including for military aid deliveries to
[00:24:24] Ukraine.
[00:24:26] Russia says it hit Ukrainian commercial vessels in the Black Sea last night
[00:24:30] near Odessa. Such attacks have increased massively and are already
[00:24:33] causing problems in the agricultural market. international. Ukraine recorded
[00:24:37] more than twice as many raids against its ships
[00:24:40] and port facilities last month. Russia denounced the grain
[00:24:44] agreement with Ukraine three years ago. Entire countries in Africa
[00:24:47] and the Middle East depend on these exports. And while
[00:24:51] Moscow claims to only attack Ukrainian military targets,
[00:24:54] at least six civilians were killed and 19 injured last
[00:24:58] night in eastern Ukraine, following drone, rocket and guided bomb
[00:25:02] attacks. The regions of Kharkiv, Sumy and Kherson were targeted
[00:25:05] one day after one of the bloodiest attacks on Kyiv in recent
[00:25:08] months.
[00:27:14] methodology elaborated by specialists from the country and abroad.
[00:27:17] The National Museum of History states that the entire process
[00:27:21] can also be followed on a special website. For now, museum curators,
[00:27:25] restorers, physicists and other specialists have analyzed the
[00:27:28] materials and techniques used in the making
[00:27:31] of the helmet and the modifications it has undergone. Everything
[00:27:35] was done with state-of-the-art equipment. The helmet from Coțofenești
[00:27:38] was damaged after it was stolen last year from a museum in
[00:27:42] the Netherlands, along with three Dacian bracelets. Two of the bracelets
[00:27:46] were also
[00:27:46] recovered.
[00:27:50] Talking on the phone on speaker, disturbing passengers on the bus
[00:27:54] or subway, could become history. Representatives of public
[00:27:58] transport companies in the capital intend to apply sanctions.
[00:28:01] In the coming period, they will... run information campaigns,
[00:28:05] controls and finally also apply fines to those
[00:28:07] caught in the act.
[00:28:12] Such people who do not respect the peace of mind of passengers
[00:28:16] could receive stinging fines in the future.
[00:28:19] The legislation is lenient in such situations,
[00:28:23] they should be held accountable. I don't like it when they talk
[00:28:27] on the phone, everyone can hear what they are saying, it's not
[00:28:30] civilized if you tell them they are. The Bucharest Transport Company
[00:28:34] announced that people who talk on the phone on speaker,
[00:28:37] listen to music without headphones or watch
[00:28:40] videos with sound on buses,
[00:28:43] trams and trolleybuses could be fined.
[00:28:46] The Metrorex management also announced that it will broadcast
[00:28:49] audio messages during journeys asking passengers to keep
[00:28:53] quiet. The authorities' reaction came after a petition launched
[00:28:57] by journalist Georgiana Mihalcea, the mother of a young
[00:29:00] man with autism. David, who suffers a lot because of these
[00:29:03] sonic stimuli. David used to tell me,
[00:29:07] mom, the sounds hurt. So, effectively,
[00:29:09] for the brain of a neurodivergent person, this is an aggression.
[00:29:13] Just as a dog would bite us, for him it can effectively
[00:29:16] be bitten by an intense sound, a loud sound, an uncontrolled
[00:29:19] laugh, stories because people simply tell how they went
[00:29:23] to the doctor, how they went for a check-up, how they went and
[00:29:27] we get overwhelmed without wanting to. Doctors say that while
[00:29:30] for many it is just a discomfort, for others, however, young children,
[00:29:34] elderly people, people with migraines, anxiety or sensory processing
[00:29:37] disorders, including autistic people, noises can become
[00:29:41] overwhelming. The real problem arises in the case of patients
[00:29:44] with certain chronic pathologies in the psychological and psychiatric
[00:29:48] sphere, such as chronic fatigue,
[00:29:51] autism, acute chronic depression,
[00:29:54] when both the intensity of the voice
[00:29:58] and the messages transmitted during a conversation
[00:30:01] can exacerbate or trigger acute
[00:30:04] episodes. Representatives of STB and Metrorex
[00:30:07] informed us that they are currently working on new rules
[00:30:11] that will regulate talking on the phone in public transport. These are expected
[00:30:14] to come into force in the near future.
[00:30:18] Although there are no national laws, in some European
[00:30:21] countries such as France, Poland, Great Britain or Portugal.
[00:30:24] Those who talk on the phone on speaker can receive
[00:30:28] fines of up to 250 euros.
[00:30:31] Hundreds of residents of Slobozia protested in
[00:30:34] front of the prefecture and demanded clean air and drinking
[00:30:37] water in the network, outraged. People have reached their limit
[00:30:41] due to the bad smell that is slowly poisoning
[00:30:44] them. They all point the finger at the company that
[00:30:47] manages wastewater in the city.
[00:30:51] la limita răbdării din cauza mirosului urât care îi otrăvește cu picătura. Cu
[00:30:55] toții arată cu degetul spre societatea care gestionează apele uzate din
[00:30:59] oraș.
