[00:00:38] Welcome back to the evening news, I'm Alina Stancu, let's look at the headlines
[00:00:42] of the edition. A decisive week awaits
[00:00:46] the designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu. He intends to present the government program
[00:00:49] and the list of ministers on Thursday, but so far there is no clear
[00:00:53] majority solution.
[00:00:55] Donald Trump wants a new president in Ukraine who can negotiate a peace
[00:00:59] agreement with Russia. Zelensky, who is also defended by the opposition in Kyiv,
[00:01:03] replied that he would organize elections if Putin stopped the attacks in 60
[00:01:07] days. The weather changes radically from one
[00:01:10] hour to another, temperatures drop sharply and in most of the country, it will rain
[00:01:14] heavily. Doctors warn that many people may be
[00:01:17] affected by depression during this period.
[00:01:21] Pope Leon will undergo surgery in the coming days. Doctors discovered a
[00:01:25] nodule in an early stage in one of his
[00:01:27] lungs.
[00:01:37] The President of Ukraine stated that he would organize elections if Russia accepted a 60-day
[00:01:41] truce. The leader from Kyiv made the statement in an interview in
[00:01:45] the American press, responding to the American president who said
[00:01:49] that it was time for Ukraine to have a new president. Trump blamed
[00:01:53] Zelensky for the fuel crisis, furious that he did not stop
[00:01:56] attacking Russian refineries. In the meantime, Trump.
[00:02:00] Trump announced on his social network that Russia and Ukraine had reached
[00:02:04] a so-called energy truce, but gave no
[00:02:06] details. If President Trump
[00:02:10] really wants to have some changes in during
[00:02:13] elections, I also shared it with his
[00:02:17] team, so please tell
[00:02:19] Putin, give us two months, 60 days
[00:02:23] of total ceasefire, 60 days and we
[00:02:27] will organize elections. Donald Trump. after
[00:02:33] the Ukrainian president harshly criticized the trade
[00:02:36] agreement between Russia and the United States. If 24
[00:02:40] hours ago Trump refrained from commenting, this
[00:02:43] time he said exactly what he wanted.
[00:03:16] Trump and second is dictator Putin, I have as
[00:03:20] an opposition party leader only one answer to that, we
[00:03:23] are acting according to Ukrainian constitution and it's
[00:03:27] up to other leader.
[00:03:34] European leaders also came to Zelensky's aid. The head of
[00:03:38] European diplomacy announced that Europe is preparing the largest
[00:03:41] package of sanctions against Russia and emphasized that
[00:03:45] lifting sanctions against Moscow will give more money
[00:03:49] to the Kremlin to continue the war in Ukraine.
[00:03:52] Also, Great Britain, through the voice of the Minister of Defense,
[00:03:56] reaffirms its support for Volodymyr Zelensky.
[00:04:30] the trade agreement between Russia and
[00:04:32] and Saint Paisie from the United States, citing a law from the Ronald Reagan
[00:04:36] administration. Russians continued violent attacks
[00:04:40] on major Ukrainian cities. In Dnipro,
[00:04:43] Sloviansk and Odessa, missiles and drones hit houses and apartment
[00:04:47] blocks and caused numerous casualties. In the meantime,
[00:04:50] the death toll from yesterday's attack in Zaporozhye rose to 23
[00:04:53] dead. Moscow aims, in particular, at energy infrastructure to
[00:04:57] the reliquary, with small but sure steps, force Ukrainians to suffer from fear and darkness during
[00:05:01] winter. In Dnipro, Russian drones hit a
[00:05:05] residential area and caused injuries to four people, including
[00:05:08] two.
[00:05:13] they were brought down in their pajamas, emergency workers broke
[00:05:16] down the door, there was a fire somewhere, I don't
[00:05:19] know,
[00:05:25] the attack caused damage to civilian infrastructure in
[00:05:28] Zaporozhye, where Russian attacks caused numerous tragedies,
[00:05:32] there was also a moment of joy when rescuers managed to
[00:05:36] pull a cat from the rubble, in Sloviansk, three
[00:05:39] aerial bombs exploded in the early hours of the morning.
[00:06:12] attack. Authorities are investigating a possible plot to assassinate
[00:06:16] the prime minister and deputy prime minister, who also holds the position of minister of
[00:06:19] defense. The Interior Ministry has already ordered intelligence services
[00:06:23] to take increased security measures. The information comes shortly
[00:06:26] after the warning issued by Western intelligence
[00:06:29] agencies, according to which Russia is intensifying efforts to
[00:06:32] eliminate defense chiefs in Europe. The alert refers
[00:06:36] in particular to the reduction of arms manufacturing companies.
[00:06:39] Polish services met urgently to establish. and
[00:06:51] the threat to the
[00:06:52] prime minister.
[00:06:55] More and more Romanians are interested in buying hybrid cars from China, but their
[00:06:59] plans could be disrupted by the recent agreement between Brussels and
[00:07:03] Beijing. Why, find out in just a few
[00:07:05] moments.
[00:07:09] The mild autumn until now and the generous sun of the last few weeks. The
[00:07:12] weather is getting significantly colder, rains will gradually cover
[00:07:16] most of the country, and in the counties around the capital there will even be
[00:07:19] a yellow code for abundant precipitation. Weather-sensitive
[00:07:22] people feel such changes more strongly. The explanation
[00:07:26] is primarily biological. Natural light regulates the body's internal
[00:07:29] clock, and less light can alter melatonin
[00:07:33] secretion and the sleep-wake rhythm. After a
[00:07:37] start to October with temperatures higher than the seasonal norm, the weather changes
[00:07:40] radically. Rains will cover a large part of the country, and temperatures will drop by even
[00:07:44] over 10°. In Bucharest and several other counties in Muntenia and Oltenia,
[00:07:48] as well as for the Curvature Carpathians area, there is a yellow code for abundant
[00:07:51] rains. With the penetration of a very cold air
[00:07:54] mass from northern latitudes, temperatures
[00:07:58] tend to drop significantly,
[00:08:01] by over 10°, and we will reach thermal values
[00:08:04] generally between 11 and
[00:08:07] 17°, and minimums will drop even below
[00:08:11] freezing. On the other hand, there will also be rains.
[00:08:15] The change in weather can affect weather-sensitive people, fewer hours without natural
[00:08:18] light in the autumn and winter months can disrupt the
[00:08:21] circadian rhythm, which influences the level of serotonin and melatonin. And
[00:08:25] this changes mood, energy and sleep. For many people, such reactions
[00:08:29] to weather changes do not exist, others however, feel them seriously. Not yet,
[00:08:33] at this age not, I hope not later either. No, no, we try
[00:08:36] to get energy from anything, from any
[00:08:38] activity. We can say that a change is observed
[00:08:42] in our state of mind, so to
[00:08:45] speak, in the sense that we inevitably become more, we are more melancholic,
[00:08:49] more depressed. Seasonal
[00:08:52] affective disorder is a form of depression that recurs at the same time of year, but
[00:08:56] doctors warn that not all autumn fatigue is asthenia and
[00:08:59] not every bad mood is seasonal depression. A study
[00:09:03] showed that serotonin in the brain decreases in
[00:09:06] winter. Thus, fatigue, drowsiness and
[00:09:10] sweet cravings appear. Fatigue that
[00:09:13] does not pass, can also have other causes, such
[00:09:17] as anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid problems,
[00:09:21] diabetes, or lack of sleep. Among the easy
[00:09:24] solutions available to weather-sensitive people are exposure to
[00:09:28] sun and fresh air, any form of exercise, including walks, a
[00:09:31] diet with more vitamins and necessarily a restful
[00:09:34] sleep. The largest Orthodox pilgrimage in the country reached
[00:09:38] impressive heights. In Iași, over 10,000 believers worshipped
[00:09:41] the relics of Saint Parascheva
[00:09:45] Sihăstria, and the queue of pilgrims waiting to reach
[00:09:48] the holy relics stretches for more than 5 km. Now
[00:09:52] the procession of the Way of the Saints is taking place, when the relics are carried by priests and believers
[00:09:56] through the streets of the city. Come on, let's go, please,
[00:09:59] there.
[00:10:03] This lady stood in line all night, more than 15
[00:10:06] hours until she managed to pass by
[00:10:10] she managed almost at noon to fulfill her dream at
[00:10:14] 9:30 last night and now, with
[00:10:16] God's help, we will arrive. What makes you
[00:10:19] wait, I don't know, a special
[00:10:22] feeling makes us come again. There are
[00:10:25] many hours of waiting for all the pilgrims who came to Iași this
[00:10:29] year, in such large numbers. Some wait even
[00:10:31] 17 hours until they reach the reliquary with the Holy Relics. The weather
[00:10:35] was friendly, however, and made the long journey to the Saint easier
[00:10:39] to bear. It's the first year I
[00:10:42] came, I feel
[00:10:44] a special thrill, a
[00:10:47] different emotion.
[00:10:50] I will return with great pleasure. It's
[00:10:53] hard,
[00:10:55] but it's worth it, it's worth coming
[00:11:01] here to worship, to feel the emotion, to feel the love
[00:11:05] for God, we are very emotional, I feel such
[00:11:09] a peace, how was the night, it passed
[00:11:11] quickly and I don't know, I didn't feel cold until
[00:11:15] morning at all, it was very peaceful,
[00:11:18] those seconds when you touched the reliquary, what was it like?
[00:11:21] Thrills, peace, thrills.
[00:11:25] tears, another extraordinary day here at
[00:11:28] the pilgrimage dedicated to Saint Parascheva, we see a large
[00:11:31] crowd, perhaps beyond everyone's expectations, coming here to
[00:11:34] the Metropolitan Cathedral.
[00:11:37] It's a Sunday, a
[00:11:40] day when God blesses
[00:11:43] us with sunny weather, but it seems
[00:11:46] that light also comes from below, from the pilgrims. It's a beautiful
[00:11:49] image. So far, over 10,000 believers have passed by
[00:11:53] the reliquary.
[00:11:55] drivers who want to buy hybrid cars from China may have to wait longer
[00:11:59] for some brands and models. The warning comes from car dealers after
[00:12:03] the European Union and China reached an agreement to reduce exports to
[00:12:07] the community market. The measure was awaited by major European
[00:12:10] car manufacturers, given that the market share of Chinese hybrid cars
[00:12:14] has increased significantly in recent years.
[00:12:17] Gheorghe Ion is from Ploiești and would like to buy a Chinese
[00:12:21] hybrid car. He came to the Bucharest auto show to see what
[00:12:24] dealers offer. He says he has several reasons why he has
[00:12:28] turned to manufacturers from China. First of all, the price
[00:12:31] seems more affordable than cars from Europe, they seem more
[00:12:35] affordable in terms of price. They offer a greater
[00:12:38] number of kilometers for the electric range than what we were
[00:12:42] used to on the European market. In recent years, Romanian drivers have
[00:12:46] become increasingly interested in Chinese cars. In September
[00:12:49] alone, out of over 1100 new cars
[00:12:52] registered in our country, almost 1900, which is approximately
[00:12:56] 17% of the total, belonged to Chinese
[00:12:59] brands. Moreover, a major car manufacturer from China
[00:13:03] rose to fourth place in terms of sales. This is shown by the latest
[00:13:07] official statistics. In Europe too, the market share of
[00:13:10] vehicles from China has increased substantially. For Plugin
[00:13:13] hybrid cars, it rose from 2% in 2024
[00:13:17] to 25% in the first six months of this year,
[00:13:21] so authorities have taken measures to protect the local industry.
[00:13:25] The European Union reached an agreement with China to limit
[00:13:28] hybrid car exports to the community
[00:13:30] market.
[00:13:34] We have reached a share understanding to moderate China's export of hybrids and plugging
[00:13:37] hybrids to the European Union.
[00:13:40] This open the
[00:13:42] prospect of China's export by more than a
[00:13:46] half. Car dealers warn that consequences
[00:13:49] may appear on the local market. Prices will
[00:13:53] most likely increase, and delivery time, most
[00:13:56] likely large Chinese manufacturers will buy
[00:14:00] factories in Europe to
[00:14:03] have a production line in Europe. It could
[00:14:06] stimulate sales in the future, because
[00:14:10] existing customers could
[00:14:13] purchase the current models. The buyer will always have
[00:14:17] the final say, because as long as the commercial offer is more
[00:14:20] competitive, the buyer will set
[00:14:23] the trend. Representatives of the European automotive industry expect
[00:14:27] the trade agreement to temper the sharp increase in imports from
[00:14:30] China. A decisive week follows for
[00:14:34] the formation of the new government. Designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu would like to submit
[00:14:38] the government program and the list of ministers on Thursday. Tomorrow he will have
[00:14:41] new discussions with the leaders of the parliamentary parties, he will go to USR, but
[00:14:45] he will also meet with representatives of minorities and some parliamentary
[00:14:48] groups. And my colleague Alina Sorocean comes with
[00:14:51] details.
[00:14:55] Hello, starting tomorrow at 12:00, Luca Nicolescu
[00:14:58] will resume discussions for the formation of a new majority. The first discussions
[00:15:02] will be with the representatives of USR to find out if they will give him the vote of
[00:15:06] investiture. Although USR
[00:15:09] representatives mentioned that they do not wish to support him and rather wish
[00:15:13] for early elections. Later at 14:00, the designated
[00:15:16] prime minister will meet with representatives of the national minority
[00:15:19] group at 16:00 with representatives of the Peace group, following that at
[00:15:23] 17:00. Luca Niculescu will also have a discussion
[00:15:27] with the leaders of the United for Romania group. He is considering
[00:15:31] having discussions with unaffiliated parliamentarians, given that every vote
[00:15:34] counts for gathering the 233 votes,
[00:15:38] but it is very important that tomorrow at 10:30,
[00:15:41] the PSD representatives will hold a meeting precisely to
[00:15:45] offer a final answer regarding the eventual support of the
[00:15:49] government or joining the government, but sources claim that
[00:15:52] they have not changed their point of view, specifically they still
[00:15:55] wish to join the government only if both PNL and UDMR take
[00:15:59] this step, otherwise they will not support a technocratic
[00:16:02] government or a single-party government of the Social
[00:16:06] Party. After a response from PSD,
[00:16:09] another response would come from the National Liberal Party, but we know well that until
[00:16:13] now Ilie Bolojean has made it very clear that the party he leads is
[00:16:17] ready to give a vote of investiture, but does not wish
[00:16:20] to join the government. Conflict over the future European
[00:16:23] budget, and Romania could be directly affected. The Irish
[00:16:26] Presidency of the Union wants an 8% reduction from the commission's proposal
[00:16:30] for the next seven years. Other countries, led by
[00:16:34] Germany, want an even smaller budget. France, on the other hand, advocates for
[00:16:37] increasing community funding. Together with 17 other beneficiary
[00:16:41] states of European funds, Romania will oppose
[00:16:44] the cuts. Ireland, which holds the rotating
[00:16:48] presidency of the European Union, proposed an 8% reduction in the European
[00:16:52] Commission's budget for the period
[00:16:54] 2028-2034. The amount would be
[00:16:57] 1.6 trillion euros. This is a compromise
[00:17:01] formula. Six countries, led by Germany, those that contribute
[00:17:04] substantially to the community budget, demand even larger
[00:17:07] reductions of hundreds of millions of euros. Romanian MEPs fear that
[00:17:11] key areas for Romanian infrastructure and economy would
[00:17:15] receive much smaller funding in the coming
[00:17:18] years. Romania currently depends on European
[00:17:21] funds for public investments. Six out of 10
[00:17:25] public investments in Romania were made with
[00:17:28] European money, because these European funds translated into
[00:17:31] modernized schools and hospitals, as well as funding for
[00:17:34] farmers. And in this proposal it is evident
[00:17:38] that cohesion policy and common agricultural policy would be
[00:17:41] the policies that would suffer the most, I am
[00:17:44] the author of the proposal to tax
[00:17:48] online betting platforms, only
[00:17:51] this proposal would bring approximately 24
[00:17:54] billion euros to the common European budget, an
[00:17:58] amount that corresponds to the Erasmus program. Other sources of
[00:18:02] funding could come from taxing cryptocurrencies, as well as from postponing
[00:18:05] the payment of loans made by the European Commission
[00:18:09] within the recovery and resilience mechanism, specifically from
[00:18:12] the time of the pandemic, together with 16 other beneficiary countries of
[00:18:16] European funds from the Friends of Cohesion Group, Romania wants
[00:18:19] to negotiate a more solid budget for the coming years.
[00:18:23] Romania will certainly reject this cut proposal from the Irish
[00:18:26] Presidency, because it even goes below the European
[00:18:30] Commission's proposal, while we
[00:18:33] in the European Parliament asked for a 10% increase in this budget.
[00:18:36] I think we will enter a very tough negotiation phase
[00:18:40] between member states and the European Union cannot do more with less
[00:18:44] money. The multi-annual budget of the European Union must be voted
[00:18:47] by all 27 member states to be adopted. Heads of
[00:18:51] state and government should reach a compromise by the end
[00:18:55] of this year. Romania asks Ukraine to preserve
[00:18:58] the current network of schools with teaching in Romanian. The request comes in
[00:19:01] the context of the Ukrainian education reform, which next year could
[00:19:05] drastically reduce the number of high schools.
[00:19:08] At the same time, the Parliament in Kyiv is to debate a new law on
[00:19:12] the rights of national minorities, important for
[00:19:15] negotiations for accession to the European Union. The project is supported
[00:19:18] by the Hungarian minority, but causes dissatisfaction in the Romanian
[00:19:22] community in Ukraine.
[00:19:25] What works do you know
[00:19:28] from Mihai
[00:19:29] Eminescu's creation?
[00:19:32] Now students in Ukraine finish high school after 11th
[00:19:36] grade, starting next year. The middle school cycle will also include
[00:19:40] 9th grade, then three years of high school will follow. In
[00:19:43] the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine, there are currently 44 high schools with
[00:19:47] Romanian language instruction. Next year's reform provides that only
[00:19:51] 15 Romanian high schools will remain up to 12th
[00:19:54] grade, the remaining 29 will be
[00:19:57] middle schools, i.e. up to 9th grade. The Romanian High School in
[00:20:01] Crasna is in a pilot project with 12
[00:20:04] grades. Instead, the high school in Suceveni will become a middle school
[00:20:08] with nine grades. Maria and Alisa are students here in 9th
[00:20:12] grade, starting next year they will be forced to commute to another
[00:20:15] locality to continue their studies in Romanian.
[00:20:19] I would still like to stay here in my high school, in
[00:20:22] my native village, because I have spent so many
[00:20:26] years here. I want to continue
[00:20:29] my studies here in my mother tongue, not to go to another
[00:20:32] place. Marinela is the mother of another 9th grade student from
[00:20:36] Suceava high school.
[00:20:43] continuing to study in another locality
[00:20:47] implies daily commuting for the children, which
[00:20:50] no one guarantees that during
[00:20:53] the journeys the children
[00:20:57] will be safe during alarms.
[00:21:00] And teachers are also dissatisfied that their high school remains only
[00:21:04] a middle school, that they are not against reforms,
[00:21:07] no, but anyway I want the children to
[00:21:11] finish, if they started here in first grade, to finish.
[00:21:14] Romania officially asked Ukraine to maintain the existing number of
[00:21:18] schools with Romanian language instruction. and to avoid
[00:21:22] regressive measures. Our goal now is to preserve our historical
[00:21:25] network of educational schools.
[00:21:29] Exceptions should be applied to Romanian
[00:21:33] minorities, and the principle of non- regression should also be
[00:21:36] applied to minorities in
[00:21:39] Ukraine. The Ukrainian side provides assurances that the number of
[00:21:42] 63 schools with Romanian language instruction in the Chernivtsi
[00:21:46] region will not be modified.
[00:21:50] in rural areas, in rural areas there must be
[00:21:53] a compulsory primary school and gymnasium, and therefore
[00:21:57] it is very important that we adopt the experience of Romania, Suceava
[00:22:00] County. If I am not mistaken, 98
[00:22:03] communes in Suceava County. Look, not in
[00:22:06] every one of your communes there is
[00:22:09] a lyceum, but there is a primary school and
[00:22:12] a gymnasium. The TVR team made these recordings in
[00:22:15] the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine within the TVR Romanian Presence
[00:22:19] project.
[00:22:24] A more extensive report on education reform in Ukraine will be
[00:22:27] broadcast on TVR International
[00:22:30] soon.
[00:22:32] The hurricane that hit the Southeast of the United States caused significant casualties and material
[00:22:36] damage. What is the situation now, find out in just a few
[00:22:40] moments on the news.
[00:22:43] The conflict in the Middle East escalated and is causing casualties among civilians. 12
[00:22:47] people were killed and 300 injured in an attack on
[00:22:51] Riyadh airport, Saudi Arabia's large-scale ground offensive in
[00:22:54] Yemen received bloody ballistic missile responses from
[00:22:57] Houthi rebels on Gulf capitals. The attack on
[00:23:01] Riyadh airport was condemned in harsh terms by the United States,
[00:23:04] which is still evaluating a possible military intervention in
[00:23:08] Yemen. Iranian-backed Houthi rebels
[00:23:11] again attacked deep into Saudi Arabian territory, specifically
[00:23:15] targeting Riyadh International Airport, where 12
[00:23:18] people died, including a pilot and an American citizen.
[00:23:22] The Houthis ordered employees of the oil giant Aramco to evacuate
[00:23:26] refineries, announcing that these are the next major
[00:23:29] targets. The entire situation was discussed last night in the UN
[00:23:33] Security Council. that it will not allow
[00:23:36] Yemen to be turned into a platform
[00:23:39] to threaten its security or threaten freedom of navigation
[00:23:43] in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab. Also,
[00:23:46] it is unacceptable for militias to impose.
[00:24:22] Islamabad decided to supplement the military contingents
[00:24:25] already stationed in Saudi Arabia. The main role of
[00:24:28] these soldiers is strictly defensive, being deployed
[00:24:32] to protect Saudi borders and the holy
[00:24:35] cities of Mecca and Medina. Turkey currently
[00:24:38] offers logistical support, and the United States has not yet
[00:24:41] made a decision regarding military support for Saudi
[00:24:44] Arabia.
[00:24:57] The Saudi Crown Prince is seeking help, including from Syria, whom
[00:25:00] he asked to send fighters to Yemen. The leader from Damascus
[00:25:04] would, in return, like Saudi Arabia to equip the Syrian
[00:25:08] army and a promise that his country would be included
[00:25:11] in the Mecca Alliance. The countdown has begun
[00:25:14] until the American midterm elections and Republicans are doing
[00:25:18] worse than ever in polls. Analysis and polling
[00:25:21] platforms from overseas show that in October, Democrats
[00:25:25] have an average lead of eight percentage points. In the Senate race
[00:25:29] there are four key states, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, and
[00:25:32] Florida. In Ohio and North Carolina, Democrats lead decisively, in
[00:25:36] Texas it's a tie, and in Florida, the Republican candidate
[00:25:39] has a two-point lead. As for the president, Americans trust
[00:25:43] Donald Trump by 30%. Polls also
[00:25:47] show a large number of undecided voters before next
[00:25:50] month's election.
[00:25:53] The Southeast United States was hit hard by a hurricane. At least four people
[00:25:57] died, and over 70,000 homes were left without
[00:26:00] electricity. Florida, Georgia, and Alabama are under a state of emergency
[00:26:04] while emergency crews try to limit damage and
[00:26:07] restore power
[00:26:09] supply.
[00:26:17] Nature unleashed on the southeast coast of the United States resulted in
[00:26:21] casualties, significant material damage, and over
[00:26:23] 70,000 homes were left in darkness. Powerful
[00:26:27] gusts ripped the roof off a large section of an apartment complex
[00:26:30] in Florida. pick up, i could
[00:26:34] hear something going through the back that just didn't sound
[00:26:37] normal, like it sounded like a freight train, it was so
[00:26:40] loud,
[00:26:45] In Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, a state of emergency was declared due to
[00:26:48] storm that knocked down trees and ripped off the roofs of buildings, tens of
[00:26:52] thousands of people were evacuated, after nature calmed down, the intervention
[00:26:55] teams and residents of the affected areas have already started to clean
[00:26:59] up, thousands of energy sector workers are trying... to restore
[00:27:03] electricity supply.
[00:27:15] The hurricane made landfall with violent gusts of wind and torrential rains, then
[00:27:19] weakened in intensity and was reclassified as a post-tropical
[00:27:22] cyclone. When Rafael reached land, a flock of flamingos took
[00:27:26] shelter in a bathroom in Panama City. Although it lost
[00:27:28] intensity, the danger has not passed. Tornadoes and floods continue
[00:27:32] to threaten the Southeast of the United States. The World Health
[00:27:36] Organization maintains that the reasons why an employee of a laboratory in
[00:27:39] Siberia died of pneumonia and no case of plague have
[00:27:42] been confirmed remain unclear. Russia officially announced that the results
[00:27:46] of tests performed on the deceased's body and on the people she came into contact with
[00:27:50] are negative for pneumonic plague and other dangerous
[00:27:53] pathogens. However, these analyses cannot be independently verified and the entire
[00:27:57] case is shrouded in mystery, at least in terms of official information. Globally,
[00:28:01] between 2009 and 2025, over 3800
[00:28:04] suspected cases of plague were reported, especially in Southern
[00:28:08] Africa. The disease has never been eradicated and persists in animals.
[00:28:12] The difference from the Middle Ages is that there are now much more
[00:28:15] efficient diagnostic and treatment methods.
[00:28:19] Pope Leo will undergo surgery after doctors detected
[00:28:22] a nodule in one of his lungs. The announcement was made by
[00:28:26] the Pontiff himself, who said that the operation will take place in the coming days.
[00:28:30] He specified that the nodule was discovered in time and that it was precisely localized.
[00:28:34] The Vatican explained that post-operative recovery will take a week, during
[00:28:38] which all the Pope's activities and official audiences will be
[00:28:41] suspended. The apostolic visit scheduled in Latin America
[00:28:45] at the beginning of next month remains valid. Doctors are
[00:28:48] optimistic that the 71-year-old pontiff will recover by
[00:28:52] then.
[00:28:54] Flamingos have once again colored some areas of the lakes in Constanța
[00:28:58] county pink. More images and information immediately in the news.
