[00:00:19] Welcome back to the 2 PM news, I'm Adina Stancu, let's see
[00:00:23] together the headlines of the edition.
[00:00:27] A fight between two rival gangs led to the blocking of a national road in
[00:00:30] Mehedinți, members of the two groups attacked each other with bats and
[00:00:34] knives.
[00:00:37] Yellow code for heavy rains in Bucharest and in several counties from tomorrow
[00:00:40] morning. The weather starts to get bad even today, first
[00:00:44] in the west of the country and then in the other
[00:00:46] regions. Donald Trump says that Ukraine should elect
[00:00:50] a new president to reach a peace agreement with
[00:00:53] Russia more easily and urges Volodymyr Zelensky to stop attacks
[00:00:57] on Russian refineries.
[00:01:07] Alert in Mehedins county, after
[00:01:09] pilgrims continues to grow the police intervened to calm the scandal between two rival
[00:01:12] gangs, two threats that they threw at each other on social
[00:01:15] media networks due to older disagreements, the two camps
[00:01:19] met face to face and armed with bats and knives they resorted to
[00:01:22] aggression. The scandal started in the center of Gârla Mare commune and
[00:01:26] continued on National Road 56 C, which was also
[00:01:30] blocked for a few minutes, attention, there are images and
[00:01:33] information with strong emotional
[00:01:35] impact.
[00:01:40] The threatened group claims that hostilities between the two camps would have
[00:01:44] started a few days ago, when members of the so-called Super clan from Punghina commune
[00:01:47] would have gone over to the opponents from Gârla Mare commune. Threats followed on a social
[00:01:51] media network, and on Saturday members of the Super clan returned to the locality and tempers
[00:01:55] flared up even more. Locals say they were attacked and threatened
[00:01:59] with... knives and bats and that they came to fear for their families, they
[00:02:03] simply came to kill us, as they came today, with knives, with
[00:02:07] knives, with bats and all, they hit three, four
[00:02:10] old people there, you can see on cameras how they hit them,
[00:02:14] my brother came, pulled out a knife and cut him right in front
[00:02:18] of the town hall here, today they came again over
[00:02:21] us with swords, with axes and they found
[00:02:24] some drunk old people, they beat
[00:02:27] them down, on the other side in Punhini commune, the other camp says that
[00:02:31] in fact they were the ones attacked three days ago, which is why they also filed
[00:02:34] a complaint with the police. I was in Gârna Mare three days ago and I was
[00:02:38] attacked. We have footage, we have filed
[00:02:41] complaints with the police, with the court, with the prosecutor's office
[00:02:45] against him for beating in the street. For what
[00:02:47] reason? They know, I don't know, they didn't tell me anything, I have nothing to look for in Gârmar, they
[00:02:51] are afraid that he will come over us, so they say. Did they threaten you? So he says,
[00:02:55] so says the mayor.
[00:02:58] growing. We are not yet talking about After hearings, the police say that this conflict occurred due to older
[00:03:01] the top of the best-selling brands disagreements between the two
[00:03:02] camps.
[00:03:07] Due to older disagreements, three men aged
[00:03:11] improving milk 55, 65 and 66, all from
[00:03:13] Gârla Mare locality, would have been physically assaulted by three other men aged
[00:03:17] 29, 38, respectively 56
[00:03:20] from Punghina locality. At the same time, through threats and acts of
[00:03:24] violence in public spaces, the persons involved would have disturbed public
[00:03:27] order and peace. The police made available to the
[00:03:32] and the list of ministers must be submitted to injured persons the request for the issuance of a provisional protection order. The police filed a criminal case and are conducting
[00:03:36] investigations for assault and other violence as well as disturbing public peace and
[00:03:40] order. We remind you, if you are in danger, call the single emergency number

[00:04:40] short negotiation, the police entered by force, at which point the man attacked with a
[00:04:44] knife. The police used rubber bullets and wounded him in the
[00:04:48] abdominal area. Subsequently, he was immobilized, and

[00:05:24] After an early October with temperatures higher than the seasonal normal, the weather is
[00:05:28] changing, rains will cover most of the country, and temperatures
[00:05:32] will drop even by over 10°C. The west of
[00:05:35] the country is feeling the cooling weather even today, but gradually all regions will
[00:05:39] be affected, and tomorrow a yellow code for significant rain
[00:05:42] is announced, valid for Bucharest and several other counties in Muntenia
[00:05:46] and Oltenia, as well as for the Carpathian
[00:05:49] bend area. With the penetration of a very
[00:05:53] cold air mass from northern latitudes,
[00:05:56] temperatures tend to drop significantly,
[00:06:00] by over 10°, and we will reach
[00:06:03] thermal values generally between
[00:06:06] 11 and 17°, and
[00:06:08] minimums will even drop below freezing. On the other
[00:06:12] hand, there will also be rains, rains that have been very
[00:06:16] much missed in the last period and are
[00:06:20] greatly needed, but these rains will also be in larger
[00:06:23] quantities, especially by accumulation.
[00:06:27] The European Union and China have reached an agreement by which exports of
[00:06:30] hybrid cars to the European market will be reduced to less than half.
[00:06:34] The announcement was made by the European Commissioner for Trade and welcomed by European
[00:06:38] car manufacturers, given that car sales from China had gained
[00:06:41] momentum. How did we get here, my colleague Cătălin
[00:06:45] Deacu tells us.
[00:06:48] Good day. Good to see you all. The agreement comes in the context in which car brands from China have
[00:06:51] become increasingly popular on the European market and that's because they often have slightly
[00:06:55] lower prices compared to those of European brands, but similar
[00:06:59] features. Moreover, hybrid models produced by
[00:07:02] car manufacturers from China have become increasingly sought after also in
[00:07:06] the context in which the price of gasoline has been increasing. In fact, data from
[00:07:10] the European Association of Car Manufacturers shows
[00:07:13] that we are talking about a growing market share for Chinese cars, for example in the case
[00:07:17] of hybrid
[00:07:20] models, the market share has increased from 2% in
[00:07:23] 2024 to 14% in the first 6 months of
[00:07:26] this year and if we refer to plugin hybrid models, here the increase
[00:07:30] is even greater from 2% in 2024, mind you, to
[00:07:33] 25% in the first half of this year, which is why
[00:07:37] representatives of the European auto industry welcome the provisions of this
[00:07:41] agreement because they argue it will partially resolve some of the
[00:07:44] trade imbalances that have appeared on the European market and on the domestic market
[00:07:48] Chinese cars have become increasingly popular, in fact, only in September
[00:07:51] data from the Permits and Registrations Directorate shows that at the national level
[00:07:55] 11,000 new cars were registered, approximately
[00:07:59] 1100 of which nearly 1900 belonged to
[00:08:02] Chinese brands and thus reached a market share
[00:08:05] of approximately 17%. Furthermore,
[00:08:08] a major Chinese car manufacturer has come to occupy the fourth place in
[00:08:13] in our country. I spoke with several car dealers, and they
[00:08:17] warn that in the coming period it is not excluded, following this agreement,
[00:08:21] waiting times for orders to increase for some
[00:08:23] models. A decisive week follows
[00:08:27] for the formation of the new government. Designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu will
[00:08:31] have new discussions tomorrow with the leaders of parliamentary parties. First
[00:08:34] he will go to USR, then he will meet with representatives of national
[00:08:37] minorities, as well as with those of other political formations. By
[00:08:41] Thursday, the government program
[00:08:45] seek a vote of support in parliament, and my colleague, Alina
[00:08:48] Sorocean, tells us more right
[00:08:49] now.
[00:08:55] Good to see you. Designated Prime Minister Luca Nicolescu is scheduled to meet tomorrow with
[00:08:59] USR representatives at 12:00 PM, followed by a
[00:09:02] reception at 2:00 PM by the group of national
[00:09:06] minorities precisely to see if he has their support. At
[00:09:10] 5:00 PM, however,
[00:09:12] there will be a new meeting, this time with representatives of
[00:09:16] the United for Romania group and at 4:00 PM with representatives of
[00:09:19] the Peace group. Sources claim that most likely tomorrow Luca Al
[00:09:23] Niculescu will also have a meeting with unaffiliated
[00:09:26] parliamentarians. These are quite important, given that
[00:09:30] every vote counts. We know very well how difficult it is to form a
[00:09:34] majority at these moments. However, also tomorrow the Social
[00:09:37] Democrats would remain to have a meeting around
[00:09:40] 10:30 AM to
[00:09:44] establish a final point of view. After a first discussion he
[00:09:47] had last week with Luca Niculescu. We know well, Sorin
[00:09:51] Grindeanu stated that PSD will not
[00:09:54] support a single-party government. PSD is not ready
[00:09:58] to enter government alone, but to assume this
[00:10:02] period with more political formations. But at the same
[00:10:05] time, PSD does not support a technocrat
[00:10:07] government either, and has invited the National Liberal
[00:10:11] Party to join the government, but the response from
[00:10:15] PNL through Ilie Boloșan, we know well, was that
[00:10:18] they offer a vote of investiture, but PNL does not want to enter
[00:10:22] government. In this context, the social
[00:10:25] democrats are expected to give a final answer tomorrow, whether they
[00:10:29] nuance their practical point of view or not, whether in the end they could
[00:10:32] support a technocrat government. Sources say, however, that they will not change
[00:10:36] their position, and after this meeting of the Social Democratic
[00:10:39] Party, it is possible that by the end of the day or even Tuesday,
[00:10:43] the liberals will also meet to offer a final
[00:10:47] answer. In all these hours and days, Luca Niculescu is practically
[00:10:50] discussing on the phone with representatives of political
[00:10:54] parties, as he tries to create this majority, difficult to
[00:10:58] form, however, difficult to gather the 233 votes, and if Luca
[00:11:01] Niculescu fails this week to convince
[00:11:04] political leaders to offer their support, then according to sources, he
[00:11:08] would resign, probably by the end of the
[00:11:10] week.
[00:11:13] The Bucharest Marathon was won by a Kenyan runner, now you'll see
[00:11:17] how the Romanian participants ranked and what the atmosphere was like there, in just
[00:11:21] a few moments.
[00:11:23] Alert at Poloni Peak. Prime Minister Danăl Task and Defense
[00:11:27] Minister, targets of a possible attack, authorities are investigating a possible
[00:11:30] plot to assassinate the prime minister and deputy prime minister, who also holds
[00:11:34] the position of defense minister. The Ministry of Interior
[00:11:37] has already ordered secret services to take increased security
[00:11:40] measures. The information appears shortly after the warning issued by Western
[00:11:44] intelligence agencies, according to which Russia is
[00:11:47] intensifying efforts to eliminate defense chiefs in Europe.
[00:11:51] The alert refers especially to the leadership of arms manufacturing companies.
[00:11:55] Polish services met urgently to establish new security measures in
[00:11:59] the country. So far, no connection has been made between the knife attacks
[00:12:03] that took place this week in Polish schools and
[00:12:06] the threat against
[00:12:07] the prime minister.
[00:12:11] The American leader seems to have changed sides again, Donald Trump
[00:12:14] told reporters that Ukraine should elect a new president to be able to
[00:12:18] reach a peace agreement with Russia more easily and warned
[00:12:22] Zelensky to stop attacks on refineries. Trump
[00:12:26] claims this exacerbates the crisis in the fuel market. The statements were
[00:12:29] welcomed by the Kremlin. Putin's economic envoy described
[00:12:33] them as iconic and historic, claiming that Ukraine
[00:12:36] needs a peace-oriented leadership, not Zelensky's policy. Kyiv, however,
[00:12:40] rejected the criticism. The Ukrainian Foreign Minister stated
[00:12:43] that Zelensky enjoys the support of the people. Sources cited
[00:12:47] by the American press claim that Trump would have warned the Kyiv leader
[00:12:51] that the United States could stop the exchange of secret military
[00:12:55] information essential for the Ukrainian army, and Ukrainian
[00:12:57] sources have stated anonymously that attacks on
[00:13:01] Russian refineries will continue.
[00:13:05] We said you can do whatever you want to Russia,
[00:13:12] don't hit the refineries because that's
[00:13:16] a world problem that's caused and he wants to make
[00:13:20] problems for the world, he wants to make problems for our farmers our
[00:13:23] ranchers.
[00:13:35] Several Republican senators are trying to block the agreement announced by Donald Trump
[00:13:39] regarding the purchase of diesel from Russia, invoking a law from the Reagan
[00:13:42] administration period. The high price of diesel is causing major headaches for
[00:13:46] Republican politicians, especially since on November 3rd, elections for
[00:13:50] the American Congress are taking place. The stakes are the
[00:13:53] 435 seats in the House of Representatives and the
[00:13:57] 33 out of 100 seats in the
[00:13:59] Senate. The price of diesel has increased significantly
[00:14:03] in the United States since the beginning of the war against Iran, according
[00:14:06] to the American press. The transport sector suffers the
[00:14:10] most, but farmers are also affected, meaning precisely the
[00:14:14] categories that are part of the traditional Republican
[00:14:17] electorate.
[00:14:25] stings every time i see the bill, i think the biggest cause of
[00:14:28] this is the leader of the united states, i'm a
[00:14:31] republican,
[00:14:36] Republican party strategists admit they are facing a huge
[00:14:40] problem before the November 3rd elections. there is no
[00:14:44] real ends, and that's very painful, the intensity of
[00:14:48] that uh pain is inflicted very
[00:14:51] frequently, and that makes it a challenge to have to...
[00:15:37] Donald Trump failed to understand Russia's relationship with
[00:15:41] Iran and that Vladimir Putin is on Iran's
[00:15:44] side. At least 12 people died and over
[00:15:47] 300 were injured in the third attack this week on Riyadh International
[00:15:51] Airport, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Attention, again
[00:15:55] there is information with emotional impact. Among the victims of
[00:15:58] the attack attributed to Houthi rebels, but not claimed, are Saudi,
[00:16:01] American and from several Asian and Arab
[00:16:05] states. Washington condemns firmly the worst attack in the last
[00:16:09] 10 years on the Saudi Kingdom.
[00:16:12] This was the third attack on Riyadh airport in a single
[00:16:16] week. Among the victims are Saudi citizens, but also foreigners,
[00:16:19] including an American. Airport activity was temporarily
[00:16:23] suspended. The coalition led by Saudi Arabia accuses the Houthi rebels
[00:16:26] supported by Iran. International media notes that Donald Trump
[00:16:29] is considering the possibility of US involvement in strikes against rebels in
[00:16:33] Yemen.
[00:16:51] The attack comes against the backdrop of intensifying fighting in Yemen, where Riyadh
[00:16:54] militarily supports government forces against rebels
[00:16:57] supported by Tehran. Several embassies, including those of the US,
[00:17:01] Canada, Germany and Spain, have issued warnings regarding the security
[00:17:04] situation and recommended caution. In a post on
[00:17:07] the social network X, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote
[00:17:11] that Washington strongly condemns the attack. These deplorable
[00:17:15] attacks demonstrate a blatant disregard for the lives of
[00:17:18] innocent civilians. They must
[00:17:22] stop immediately. We stand with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its
[00:17:25] people and extend our condolences to the victims and
[00:17:29] their families. Amid escalating regional tensions, the
[00:17:33] US military hit a commercial vessel under Panamanian flag in the Gulf of Oman,
[00:17:37] after the crew allegedly ignored warnings and attempted to breach
[00:17:41] the naval blockade imposed on Iran. The strike disabled the vessel's propulsion,
[00:17:45] which had departed from an Iranian port, without injuring the
[00:17:47] crew. And in the United States, eight people, including
[00:17:51] a pregnant woman and two children, died in a shooting
[00:17:55] in the city of Erie, Pennsylvania. I warn
[00:17:58] you again, images and information that may affect you
[00:18:01] emotionally will follow. Two women were shot on a street after
[00:18:05] the aggressor entered a house and opened fire on other
[00:18:08] people. Police intervened and surrounded the house, and the attacker, a
[00:18:12] 45-year-old man, was found dead after apparently
[00:18:16] shooting himself, according to initial information. Seven of the victims
[00:18:19] were allegedly members of the same family. The motive
[00:18:22] for this attack is not
[00:18:24] yet known.
[00:18:26] Floods and landslides in southern Italy due to torrential
[00:18:30] rains.
[00:18:38] The biggest problems are in Calabria, Sicily and the Aeolian
[00:18:41] Islands, where water and mud have flooded homes and affected
[00:18:44] roads. In Sicily, 25 people were injured
[00:18:47] after two tornadoes hit the area. Two of the victims are
[00:18:51] in serious condition, and several homes were destroyed or damaged. Dozens
[00:18:55] of families were left homeless, and a school suffered significant
[00:18:58] damage. In Calabria, floods dragged cars to the sea and
[00:19:02] caused landslides that blocked roads and collapsed
[00:19:05] walls. In Bari, it even entered the Basilica
[00:19:09] of Sant Nicola, and in Salento, schools were closed due
[00:19:13] to extreme weather. Authorities maintain the orange
[00:19:16] alert in some areas of Puglia and warn that
[00:19:20] the risk of floods and landslides persists.
[00:19:22] Perfumes, luxury accessories, cosmetic
[00:19:25] products, and even
[00:19:28] intimate apparel, all worth over 4000 RON, are
[00:19:32] the purchases discovered by the control body of the Minister of Environment Diana Buzoianu at
[00:19:36] the National Agency of... Meteorology, the director of the institution
[00:19:39] says she notified the economic police, but the Minister of Environment demands the dismissal
[00:19:43] of the ANM head and says she notified the prosecutors in this
[00:19:46] case. Interim Environment Minister Diana
[00:19:50] Buzoianu wrote on Facebook about purchases made with
[00:19:53] the agency's cards for meteorology. She also posted
[00:19:56] photos of a luxury bra worth over 1000 RON and other products.
[00:20:00] Clothes and accessories worth 18000 RON,
[00:20:03] perfumes, cosmetic products or floral arrangements for another almost
[00:20:06] 300 RON were purchased. All were purchased starting last year
[00:20:10] with five cards to which five agency employees had
[00:20:13] access. There are reports over
[00:20:16] reports written and signed by people from
[00:20:20] the institution who talk about the purchase of fringed
[00:20:23] boots and cosmetics. We will send the report of
[00:20:27] the control body to the Prosecutor's Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice. We will
[00:20:31] send this report to the Court of Accounts
[00:20:34] and we will follow all legal avenues to recover the money. There
[00:20:38] were many more thefts committed in this institution in these years,
[00:20:41] so from my point of view, Mrs. Mateescu should resign urgently. The ANM director
[00:20:45] says that the purchases are subject to an
[00:20:48] internal audit and not only that. As early as August, at
[00:20:52] the first documents provided to the representatives of
[00:20:55] the Control Body from the Ministry of Environment, Waters and
[00:20:58] Forests. I launched an internal
[00:21:01] audit mission. The preliminary report formed the basis for filing
[00:21:05] a complaint with the General Directorate of Police of
[00:21:09] Bucharest Municipality on August 12th at
[00:21:13] the Section for Investigation of Economic
[00:21:15] Crime. I informed the Minister. I have not
[00:21:19] had any discussion on this topic with her. I saw
[00:21:22] this morning and took note
[00:21:25] of the control body's report. Because an
[00:21:29] investigation is ongoing, Elena Mateescu did not want to give details about the internal
[00:21:32] audit report, nor who used the institution's accounts for
[00:21:36] personal purchases. The pilgrimage to the Metropolitan
[00:21:40] Cathedral in Iași reaches impressive levels this weekend, almost
[00:21:43] 25,000 believers are queuing in a line that stretches for more than
[00:21:47] 5 km to worship at the reliquary with the relics of the
[00:21:51] Holy Venerable Parascheva and Saint Paisie of Sihăstria.
[00:21:54] The waiting time exceeds 15 hours, and the number of
[00:21:59] by the hour. But more, my colleague
[00:22:03] Marga
[00:22:03] Andreescu tells us.
[00:22:09] Hello. Festive atmosphere here in the courtyard of the Metropolitan
[00:22:12] Cathedral in Iași. Over 23,000
[00:22:15] people are now waiting in line for 15,
[00:22:19] 16 or 17 hours to reach
[00:22:22] the Baldachin with the relics of Saint Parascheva
[00:22:25] and Saint Paisie of Sihăstria. People come
[00:22:28] from all corners of the country,
[00:22:32] they pray and after leaving the Baldachin,
[00:22:35] they have tears in their eyes and say they will
[00:22:38] return next year. There were also people who
[00:22:41] needed medical care,
[00:22:44] 650 sought the help of doctors, and
[00:22:47] 30 are hospitalized. The
[00:22:50] highlight of today remains the procession of
[00:22:54] the saints, which will begin at
[00:22:56] 7 PM. The two reliquaries will be carried through the streets
[00:23:00] of Iași in procession, then
[00:23:03] the pilgrimage will be interrupted for an hour and a
[00:23:06] half. Odorless goat milk?
[00:23:09] Researchers from Botoșani say they have found the solution. After almost
[00:23:13] 10 years of experiments, they managed to obtain a new population of goats with
[00:23:16] fattier milk, but with a taste and smell that would be pleasing to the most
[00:23:20] reluctant consumers. The animals could soon reach farms
[00:23:23] across the country after the approval of the new
[00:23:26] breed.
[00:23:28] At first glance they seem like ordinary goats, in reality they are
[00:23:32] the result of carefully controlled experiments. Since
[00:23:35] 2017, local goats have been crossed with Anglo-Nubian
[00:23:39] bucks. At the Popăuți research station,
[00:23:43] third-generation specimens obtained in this way are now
[00:23:48] a breed, we are only talking about a population now,
[00:23:51] the main characteristic we are working on
[00:23:55] now is
[00:23:58] milk production,
[00:24:01] production, we are talking about fat percentage and quantity and the idea
[00:24:05] of having in the northeast of Romania
[00:24:08] a biological creation
[00:24:11] specific to the climatic
[00:24:14] zone and
[00:24:18] as a
[00:24:20] breed. created in our area, I came from the very first years, because
[00:24:23] here I had found a lot of goats undefined as a breed. The most
[00:24:27] important achievement of this project is the quality of the milk. Specialists
[00:24:31] aimed to increase the fat content, important for
[00:24:34] cheeses, but especially to eliminate the specific taste and
[00:24:37] smell that keep some consumers
[00:24:40] at bay. If I were to
[00:24:43] milk goat milk from this Anglo-Nubian
[00:24:46] breed and give it to a
[00:24:49] consumer to drink, without telling them where it came from, they would
[00:24:53] certainly not realize it was goat milk. The project
[00:24:56] was initiated with the station's own funds, but the promising
[00:25:00] results attracted financial support from the Academy of Agricultural
[00:25:03] Sciences and the Ministry of Agriculture. Researchers
[00:25:07] hope that this new biological creation will be approved
[00:25:10] soon and reach farms all over
