[00:00:04] obstacles, even though the stunt was not [00:00:30] He is working on the government program and is sending the first [00:00:33] signal that he will not deviate from the path started by [00:00:37] the leader or the party. Prime Minister Ilie Bolojaan turned [00:00:40] on the light in the chamber of tricks. "If anyone expects [00:00:44] me to turn off the light, they are sorely [00:00:46] mistaken," wrote Siegfried Mureșan on his social [00:00:50] to make the necessary media page. Details after other headlines of [00:00:57] milk telemea, old the hour. The weather will get significantly colder starting tomorrow. Temperatures will drop by [00:01:01] up to 12°. It will rain, and in the mountains there will be sleet [00:01:04] and even snow. A yellow code for strong wind will be valid [00:01:08] tomorrow in several areas in the east and [00:01:11] southwest. [00:01:15] The regional elections in Berlin and in a state [00:01:18] located in northeastern Germany represent a new [00:01:21] test for Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The rise of the far [00:01:25] right and radical left could cause new [00:01:28] turmoil in the party. [00:01:33] New drone debris found in the Black Sea was neutralized [00:01:37] this morning by military divers approximately [00:01:41] there were over 7000 93 km from Grindul Chituc in Constanța [00:01:43] County. "The fragments did not endanger naval traffic," [00:01:47] the army announced. [00:01:48] armata. [00:01:57] There is great agitation on the political scene. Siegfried Besan is working [00:02:00] on the government program that he will present to parliamentarians [00:02:04] tomorrow, from whom he is trying to obtain a vote of [00:02:07] confidence. The designated Prime Minister currently has the support of PNL, [00:02:11] USR, and UDMR, but he still needs approximately 65 [00:02:15] votes. Teodora Drăgoi explains what's next. [00:02:17] Drăgoi. [00:02:21] prepared from a mixture of sheep meat Hello. First of all, we are waiting for the official communication [00:02:24] from the Presidential Administration regarding the signing of the designation [00:02:27] decree. President Dan said that he would sign this [00:02:31] document during his visit to Bistrița yesterday, and then we look [00:02:35] at tomorrow, when we expect the publication of this document in [00:02:38] the Official Monitor. Only from that moment does Mureșan become [00:02:42] an official candidate for the position of Prime Minister of Romania [00:02:45] and begins negotiations with parliamentary parties. [00:02:49] Mureșan said on Friday that this weekend he is working on [00:02:53] the area was secured and did not the lines of the government program, and then from Monday he begins negotiations, first [00:02:57] with representatives of national minorities and then with those from [00:03:00] PSD. About PSD, he said that it is a moment of [00:03:04] truth for social democrats. If they support [00:03:07] him, it means they are a pro-European party, otherwise they [00:03:11] are only consolidating their relationship with AUR. [00:03:14] Mureșan said very clearly that he will not negotiate with AUR, and [00:03:18] those from UDMR have returned to the topic and said once again that they will not [00:03:22] vote for a government or will not be part of a government that relies [00:03:25] on extremist votes in parliament, referring here [00:03:29] to SOS Romania. Thus, the equation of [00:03:33] the 233 votes, the minimum necessary to install [00:03:36] an executive at Victoria Palace, [00:03:40] is becoming increasingly difficult and practically all roads lead [00:03:44] to PSD. Therefore, tomorrow morning there is a [00:03:47] very important meeting at the Kiseleff headquarters at 11:00 AM, [00:03:51] where the social democrats will decide whether or not to support this [00:03:55] candidacy. But in the meantime, let's look at what [00:03:58] Grindeanu wrote on a social network. [00:04:02] He said that if Mureșan wants the vote of those from [00:04:05] PSD, he must give up Bolojan's austerity policy. [00:04:08] In contrast, this morning a reaction appeared on [00:04:12] the same social network from Mureșan. He [00:04:16] notes, I quote: "Prime Minister Bolojan turned on the light in [00:04:20] the chamber of tricks. If anyone expects me to turn off [00:04:23] the light, they are sorely mistaken." End quote. So, [00:04:27] things look very complicated at this hour, and [00:04:31] we must remember a very important aspect, namely: [00:04:35] sums from without social democrats, the formula UDMR, PNL, [00:04:37] USR, along with national minorities and [00:04:41] without resorting to extremist votes in parliament, [00:04:44] the Moreșean executive cannot be installed at Victoria [00:04:47] Palace. [00:04:50] Prolonged political tensions are starting to put pressure on [00:04:54] the country's rating. Romania risks falling into the junk [00:04:57] category, meaning not recommended for investment. This [00:05:00] is the harsh warning of an analyst from the Fitch agency [00:05:04] in an interview for Bloomberg. The lack of a [00:05:07] fully empowered government raises questions about fiscal [00:05:10] predictability and the authorities' ability to reduce [00:05:14] the deficit, the expert also says. Fitch estimates that [00:05:17] our country still needs a correction of approximately [00:05:20] 1.5 percentage points of GDP and a credible plan [00:05:24] for the 2027 budget. I [00:05:27] remind you, at the end of July, Fitch maintained [00:05:30] Romania's rating at the lowest category recommended for [00:05:33] investments with a negative [00:05:35] outlook. In an interview with [00:05:39] Bloomberg journalists, a Fitch analyst spoke about [00:05:42] the risks that the current political crisis can have on the Romanian [00:05:45] economy. The article states that Romania risks becoming a [00:05:49] junk if the political crisis prolongs. [00:05:52] The longer the crisis persists without a functional [00:05:56] government, the more questions arise about fiscal [00:05:59] predictability and the ability [00:06:03] adjustment. The President of [00:06:06] Romania says that the economic situation is stable at this [00:06:09] moment. From Romania's perspective, [00:06:12] with the financial figures we have [00:06:15] today, Romania is a [00:06:18] country that must maintain its status as a country [00:06:22] recommended for investments. The PSD president wants to ask [00:06:25] the Fitch agency for an official position regarding the statements of [00:06:29] its analyst. One thing is the Fitch agency, which a month [00:06:33] ago said it would maintain its rating, and another thing is an [00:06:36] analyst who gave an interview. The nominated Prime Minister believes that [00:06:39] warnings from rating agencies must be taken into account [00:06:42] and emphasizes that they base their evaluations on independent [00:06:46] criteria. Rating agencies are so important [00:06:50] precisely because they are independent and because [00:06:53] they are credible. Nobody can influence a rating [00:06:57] agency, no politician can tell a rating agency what [00:07:01] to do, because then rating agencies would lose their credibility. [00:07:04] The next important evaluation comes from Standard and Poor's, [00:07:08] which is expected to announce on October 2 whether it maintains Romania's [00:07:12] rating, and this rating is currently in the category [00:07:15] recommended for investments. In this case, it has the following [00:07:19] perspective: either to penalize it because it does not have a functional [00:07:23] government and to evaluate options to recover as [00:07:26] quickly as possible, or to offer another [00:07:29] chance, and most likely that will be the option, to see [00:07:33] in the medium term what happens with this until the end of the year. The last [00:07:36] Fitch evaluation on July 31 maintained Romania's rating at the lowest [00:07:40] level in the recommended investment category, but with a negative [00:07:44] outlook. [00:07:48] Army engineers detonated the remains of a drone that was floating in [00:07:51] the area of Grindul Chituc in Constanța County. Around [00:07:55] 9:30 AM, the Coast Guard discovered a suspicious [00:07:58] object floating approximately 50 nautical miles east of [00:08:02] Chituc. According to authorities, [00:08:06] pose a danger to navigation at any time. The number [00:08:10] of such incidents has significantly increased in recent months, [00:08:13] as Russian attacks against Ukrainian ports on the [00:08:17] Danube have intensified. [00:08:18] Dunăre. [00:08:21] An EOD combat diver team from the Romanian Naval Forces [00:08:25] intervened on Sunday morning, September 20, around [00:08:29] 9:30 AM, to neutralize drone [00:08:32] debris in the Grindul Chituc area, Constanța County. [00:08:36] The EOD team carried out standard neutralization [00:08:38] procedures. The area has been secured and there is no danger [00:08:42] to the population or naval [00:08:44] traffic. [00:08:47] Diana Șoșoacă gave an interview to Russia [00:08:50] Today, in which she spoke about the violence at the protest [00:08:54] of animal breeders in Victoria Square. [00:08:56] The MEP accused the gendarmes of attacking [00:09:00] the protesters and the SOS Romania [00:09:03] parliamentarians. Șoșoacă also launched other accusations, claiming that in [00:09:07] Romania people are dying of hunger and that politicians are [00:09:10] stopping water from the mountains to be directed to certain [00:09:13] companies. The statements were made without presenting any [00:09:17] evidence. Russia Today is a state-controlled channel, [00:09:21] and its broadcast has been suspended in the European Union since [00:09:24] 2022. Diana Șoșoacă's interview, published on her social [00:09:28] media page, has already generated reactions. [00:09:30] reacții. [00:09:34] This lady Șoșoacă has found [00:09:37] a niche in Romanian politics [00:09:40] and she exploits it, [00:09:44] earning considerable [00:09:47] Brussels and pursuing [00:09:50] Moscow's policy against the [00:09:54] European Union, thus recreating the [00:09:58] policy of the Romanian Communist Party [00:10:01] in the interwar period, [00:10:04] a party that had its leadership in Moscow. [00:10:08] The serious thing is not that she comes with these [00:10:12] points, but the serious thing is [00:10:15] that the same thing that Ms. Șoșoacă [00:10:18] says, Donald Trump also [00:10:21] says about the European Union and the parties [00:10:25] in Western Europe say, for [00:10:28] example, the most eloquent example is [00:10:32] the AfD which has exactly [00:10:36] the same discourse. So, Ms. Șoșoacă is [00:10:40] aligning herself with a much larger trend [00:10:43] at an international level and which [00:10:47] can do much more harm to [00:10:51] Europe than Ms. Șoșoacă. This [00:10:55] rapprochement of hers with Russia, which has always existed, has now [00:10:58] received an additional pledge and it is probable that [00:11:02] this will allow her to [00:11:04] obtain support on all levels from the [00:11:08] Kremlin, because it is not easy to find an [00:11:11] MEP [00:11:13] who comes to say that Russia is a democratic [00:11:16] state, exactly what totally [00:11:19] contradicts reality first of all and [00:11:22] the position of all countries in the European Union which [00:11:25] consider Russia an autocracy and a [00:11:29] state that desires [00:11:31] the total disregard of any international [00:11:34] legislation regarding the respect [00:11:37] of the territorial sovereignty of many [00:11:40] states, starting with Ukraine, as we have seen, but [00:11:43] through the hybrid war it practices, including states in [00:11:47] the European Union. [00:11:51] Germany, Romania, and Poland are the first European countries that [00:11:55] Russia could attack in 2027, according to [00:11:58] a Russian strategist. The honorary president of the Council [00:12:02] for Foreign and Defense Policy of Russia explains the reasons. [00:12:05] We will give you details in the [00:12:07] news report. [00:12:16] A serious road accident occurred in Prahova County. I warn you: [00:12:20] images and information with a strong emotional impact will follow. Two [00:12:23] young people, 18 and 19 years old, lost their lives after [00:12:27] the car they were in went off the road and crashed into a tree [00:12:31] in the locality of Puchenii Mari. The 19-year-old died [00:12:35] on the spot, and the 18-year-old driver was transported in [00:12:38] serious condition to the hospital where he later died. The [00:12:41] third passenger, a 15-year-old adolescent, was hospitalized with [00:12:44] leg injuries. Police have launched an investigation [00:12:48] to establish the causes of [00:12:49] the accident. [00:12:53] The weather is changing radically and temperatures will drop by up to [00:12:56] 12 degrees. The wind will cause major problems tomorrow in [00:13:00] several areas of the country. A yellow code targets 13 [00:13:03] counties in Oltenia, central and southern Moldova, the Banat [00:13:07] Mountains, the western half of the Southern Carpathians, where [00:13:10] the wind will blow at speeds of 50-70 [00:13:13] km/h and up to 90 km/h at [00:13:16] altitudes above 1700 m. [00:13:19] Meteorologists announce showers, electrical discharges on Monday in [00:13:22] the north, center, east and southeast. [00:13:25] Then also in the rest. From Monday night to Tuesday in the mountains, especially [00:13:28] above 1700 m, there will also be precipitation in the form of sleet [00:13:31] and snow. The bad weather warning is valid until Thursday [00:13:35] morning. [00:13:37] dimineață. [00:13:42] The ballot boxes have opened in Berlin and in the state of [00:13:46] Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. [00:13:49] Approximately 3.8 million voters are called [00:13:53] to vote in these two regions. [00:13:55] In the state located in the northeast of the country, a close race is announced [00:13:58] between the Alternative for Germany and the Social [00:14:02] Democratic Party. In Berlin, however, the left-wing formation [00:14:05] Die Linke, the Christian Democrats of Chancellor Friedrich Merz, [00:14:08] and the AfD are competing. [00:14:10] AFD. [00:14:15] Although for a while it seemed that the Alternative for Germany would become the favorite [00:14:18] of the electoral race in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, however, [00:14:21] the most recent polls indicate that the far-right party is [00:14:25] now slightly behind the Social Democrats. Thus, [00:14:28] according to a poll cited by the Bild newspaper, the Social Democratic Party [00:14:32] is rated with approximately 37% in [00:14:35] the electorate's options, and the AfD with [00:14:37] 36%. People are anxiously awaiting the results [00:14:41] of the election. [00:14:46] Hundreds of drones targeted the Russian capital and the surrounding [00:14:50] region last night. Authorities say they [00:14:53] shot down or neutralized 249 aircraft, [00:14:57] only in the Moscow region. At least two people were killed, according to the [00:15:01] mayor of the Russian capital, and an important [00:15:04] refinery was damaged. Temporary restrictions were imposed at all airports [00:15:08] in the region. The attack comes at a sensitive [00:15:11] moment. Today is the last day of the elections for [00:15:15] the State Duma. Over 111 million Russians [00:15:18] are called to the polls, and the vote ends this [00:15:21] evening. [00:15:24] The latest polls show that the United Russia party remains [00:15:28] at the top of the electorate's preferences. It is still [00:15:31] a test for Vladimir Putin, because if surprises appear, and [00:15:34] United Russia obtains a lower score in... [00:16:07] marked also by security incidents, Moscow announced [00:16:10] cyberattacks on the electronic voting system and [00:16:14] launched accusations against Ukraine regarding attempts of [00:16:18] cyber [00:16:18] sabotage. [00:16:22] Germany, Romania, and Poland are the first European countries that Russia could [00:16:26] attack in 2027, the statement was made in an interview by [00:16:30] Sergei Karaganov, honorary president of the [00:16:34] Council for Foreign and Defense Policy of Russia. In [00:16:37] Romania's case, it is invoked that, I quote, "it is the source [00:16:41] of arms deliveries to Ukraine." He specified that initially, attacks [00:16:44] on European countries involved in aggression against Russia will [00:16:48] be carried out with non-nuclear weapons. The Russian strategist [00:16:51] also stated that Moscow is considering much harsher attacks on [00:16:55] Ukraine. [00:16:59] The defense chiefs of the 32 NATO member [00:17:02] states discussed in Copenhagen about Russian [00:17:05] threats, including drone incidents, airspace violations [00:17:09] and hybrid actions. Romania was represented by the Chief of Staff [00:17:13] of the Army, General Gheorghiță Vlad. [00:17:17] Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine cast a [00:17:20] long shadow. Incidents of sabotage, [00:17:24] cyber attacks and airspace violation by [00:17:27] multiple NATO allies, including right [00:17:30] here in Copenhagen, where unauthorized drones were [00:17:33] detected near the airport almost exactly one year ago. [00:18:07] They will not be able to force France to facilitate Russia's achievement [00:18:11] of its war objectives in Ukraine. This was conveyed by the leaders [00:18:15] of the French far-right, Marine Le Pen and [00:18:18] Jordan Bardella. The statements came after a [00:18:21] meeting at the Elysée Palace convened by President Emmanuel [00:18:24] Macron with the leaders of political parties on the topic of current [00:18:28] geopolitical crises. The trenchant statements were [00:18:31] surprising because the two politicians, leaders of the National [00:18:34] Rally party, had been accused in the past of a conciliatory [00:18:37] approach towards President Vladimir Putin. Le Pen and [00:18:41] Bardella also condemned Russia's decision to take [00:18:44] control of the assets of some European companies that [00:18:48] are still operating on the Russian market, such as Nestlé, Auchan [00:18:51] and Leroy Merlin. [00:18:55] A new attack by the American army in the Caribbean Sea. A fast [00:18:59] boat, suspected of involvement in drug trafficking, was hit by [00:19:03] American forces. Four people on board were killed, according to [00:19:07] the U.S. Southern Command. The vessel [00:19:11] was traveling on a known route for drug trafficking and [00:19:15] there was information regarding its involvement in such activities. [00:19:18] This is the latest episode in the military campaign [00:19:21] launched by the Trump administration against drug [00:19:25] trafficking networks in Latin America and the Caribbean [00:19:27] area. [00:19:31] Diets, injections, or slimming pills or surgical [00:19:34] interventions are some solutions for the fight against [00:19:37] obesity. The statistics of this chronic disease are [00:19:41] worrying. What advice do doctors give? Find out in [00:19:44] the news report. [00:24:17] birthday, I wish them happy birthday. [00:24:20] Health, much happiness [00:24:22] and that on the one hand. I tell them [00:24:26] to bear with us, to bear with [00:24:29] the construction sites, because we are working very hard to [00:24:48] come down from the mountains, and the shepherds take stock of an increasingly [00:24:52] difficult year. In Aruncu, in Dâmbovița, breeders met at [00:24:55] a traditional fair where they sell their products and share [00:24:59] their experiences. Restrictions and the lack of manpower [00:25:02] are increasingly affecting [00:25:03] incomes. [00:25:06] At over 1000 meters altitude on the peak of Inn, breeders from Dâmbovița and [00:25:10] neighboring counties meet every autumn for the sheep sorting. The event [00:25:13] marks the end of the pastoral year. The herds come down from the mountains, the sheep are [00:25:17] divided among the owners, and the shepherds take stock of the season. [00:25:20] "Shepherding, you see it's on the ground, [00:25:24] it's dire." "How many sheep do you have?" "Well, maybe around [00:25:28] 300. It's bad that they don't allow exports, so we can sell more." Shepherds [00:25:32] say that among the biggest problems is the lack of manpower. "How can you still [00:25:35] herd, it's bad because exports [00:25:38] are no longer going, you can't find shepherds anymore, where can you [00:25:42] get them from? You bring one and two run away, so there are no more [00:25:45] serious people." "What's the daily pay for a guy like [00:25:49] that?" "Well, I've given them up to €1000 a month, [00:25:52] food, coffee, all sorts of things [00:25:56] because I can't say what I eat, they eat too. Who do you still [00:25:59] work with? I've kept more cows, many [00:26:02] cows, and they also guard themselves. You have to stay with the sheep, [00:26:06] you have to stay next to it day and night. Jackals [00:26:08] have appeared, all sorts of [00:26:12] wolves have appeared, they surround us, they [00:26:15] destroy us." Without enough people to care for the herds, the sheep spend less [00:26:19] time grazing, milk production decreases, and implicitly fewer [00:26:22] dairy products are obtained. I'm not saying that we had enough pasture, because [00:26:26] It rained and grass grew even on the rocks, but as I [00:26:30] told you, there's no money to take the grass to them anymore. He sent them with the sheep, they went over the [00:26:33] ridge, he put them to bed, the sheep are sleeping, he comes with them from there and [00:26:37] we put them back in the pen. For visitors, the fair is also an opportunity to [00:26:41] buy and taste traditional products [00:26:48] years? We are from Brașov, yes, and we came with [00:26:52] our traditional products. Smoked cheese, [00:26:55] fresh cow's [00:26:59] sheep's milk telemea, burduf cheese. What are the [00:27:03] prices? We just arrived to see how [00:27:06] the market goes. The organizers say they want to preserve [00:27:10] the sheep's gathering, even if year after year there are fewer and fewer breeders and [00:29:03] frequently think about food even when they are not hungry. [00:29:07] The phenomenon is called food noise and can influence our [00:29:10] food choices. An online Ivox survey shows [00:29:14] that eight out of 10 Romanians have experienced such persistent [00:29:18] thoughts. At the same time, seven out of 10 Romanians already [00:29:21] have extra kilograms, and four out of 10 have reached obesity. [00:29:25] Doctors warn that obesity is a chronic disease [00:29:29] that is difficult to cure without the help of specialists. [00:29:33] Cristi lost 62 kg in one year after the surgery that [00:29:37] reduced his stomach and changed his life. His analyses are [00:29:41] now perfect, he walks easily and no longer gets tired, he also got rid of [00:29:44] pre-diabetes and high blood pressure without taking any more [00:29:47] pills. At the time of the surgery, I weighed 142 [00:29:50] kg and now I weigh 10. I don't take any [00:29:53] treatment. Now I eat a handful of food at one meal, and [00:29:57] before I ate plates full.
