[00:00:11] from TVR Timișoara joins
[00:00:40] It's 8 o'clock, good morning, we're back to Matinal news and we also greet Romanians
[00:00:44] from abroad because we are live on TVR International. Let's see
[00:00:48] some of the topics we are focusing on this
[00:00:51] morning.
[00:00:53] Designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu continues negotiations for the formation of the new government
[00:00:57] today. He has scheduled meetings with USR and the authorities, after
[00:01:01] last week he spoke with
[00:01:03] way. We are not yet talking about PSD, PNL and UDMR. By Thursday, Niculescu must finalize
[00:01:06] the governing program and the list
[00:01:08] of ministers.
[00:01:11] Approximately 40% of Romanians borrow almost monthly to
[00:01:16] improving milk cover their current expenses, and less than half manage to save. Family
[00:01:20] budgets are increasingly difficult to balance due to the rising cost of living
[00:01:23] day by day.
[00:01:26] Changing weather starting today. This
[00:01:30] morning it's raining, especially in the south of the country, in the
[00:01:33] Muntenia area. What to expect at lunchtime, we'll tell you in a few
[00:01:37] moments.
[00:01:45] Perfumes, clothes and cosmetics bought with the institution's money, as well as
[00:01:48] direct contracts worth millions of lei. These are the irregularities reported
[00:01:52] by the administration, by the National Meteorological Administration following checks by the control body
[00:01:56] of the Ministry of Environment. Diana Buzoianu demands the resignation of the head.
[00:02:00] Cerici announces that the report will be sent to the General Prosecutor's Office and the Court of Accounts.
[00:02:03] ANM director Elena Mateescu claims that she did not use the institutional
[00:02:07] card and did not approve illegal acquisitions. She states
[00:02:11] that she ordered an internal audit and notified the police since August after
[00:02:14] the discovery of irregularities. Last night on the show "Corridors of Power"
[00:02:18] on TVR Info, the Minister of Environment also spoke about contracts that were
[00:02:22] allegedly awarded with dedication to two companies. Diana Buzoianu
[00:02:25] claims that the acquisitions department is under the direct subordination of Elena
[00:02:29] Matei. and that she would have signed the disputed
[00:02:32] acquisitions.
[00:02:35] The control body actually brought to light many more
[00:02:38] problems than just this part of unjustified
[00:02:42] expenses from cards. One of
[00:02:45] the essential things that came to light was that in recent years, contracts were
[00:02:49] awarded with dedication to two companies,
[00:02:53] practically affiliated with ANM,
[00:02:56] contracts worth millions were awarded through
[00:03:00] direct acquisition, although there are very clear
[00:03:03] limits for what you can do by direct acquisition, an amount of
[00:03:07] 270,000 RON. So,
[00:03:10] we practically see how the money was used, including to
[00:03:14] favor, let's say, some
[00:03:15] are waiting in line, and in-house companies close to this institution. And I just
[00:03:19] want to mention that Ms. Director Mateescu has the acquisitions
[00:03:22] department directly under her subordination. So
[00:03:26] all these acquisitions were signed at some
[00:03:30] point by her as well, no matter how much she wants to exclude herself from this
[00:03:33] process. A decisive week begins
[00:03:37] for the formation of the new government. Designated Prime Minister Luca Nicolescu will have other
[00:03:41] discussions with the leaders of the parliamentary parties. First, he will go to
[00:03:44] USR, then he will meet with representatives of national
[00:03:47] minorities, as well as those of other political formations. By Thursday, he must
[00:03:51] have the governing program and the list of ministers ready to
[00:03:54] ask for the vote of support in parliament. Our colleague Alina
[00:03:58] Orocean joins us with more
[00:04:02] information. Alina, good
[00:04:03] to see you.
[00:04:06] Good to see you, Luca Niculescu resumes today discussions for the formation
[00:04:10] of a majority. At 12:00 he will meet with
[00:04:13] USR representatives to ask for support, although the leaders
[00:04:17] of this political formation have said many times that they do not want to support Luca
[00:04:21] Niculescu because they consider him close to the Social Democratic Party
[00:04:24] or because he was supported in the past by the Social Democratic Party.
[00:04:28] Thus, USR would rather want to organize
[00:04:32] early elections. At 2:00 PM however, the designated prime minister will
[00:04:36] also meet with representatives of the group of national minorities, at
[00:04:39] 4:00 PM with representatives of the Pace group, and at
[00:04:43] 5:00 PM he will have discussions with the leaders
[00:04:46] of the United for Romania group. Luca
[00:04:48] Nicolescu is also considering asking for the support of unaffiliated parliamentarians
[00:04:53] attention, the reduction reaches because every vote counts and it is very difficult to gather the
[00:04:55] 233 votes, but today is an important day for
[00:04:59] the Social Democratic Party. They are expected to offer a final answer regarding
[00:05:03] the eventual support of the government or joining the government. At
[00:05:07] 10:30 AM the Social Democrats will have a
[00:05:10] meeting, but according to sources, they maintain their point of view,
[00:05:14] meaning they would like to join the government only with PNL and
[00:05:17] UDMR, otherwise they will not support a technocrat government
[00:05:21] or a single-party government of the Social
[00:05:24] Democratic Party. Today a final answer will come from
[00:05:27] the PSD and a final answer is also expected from the National
[00:05:31] Liberal Party. Ilie Blojan we know well that he said until now
[00:05:34] that PNL will offer a vote of
[00:05:38] a technocrat government, but he does
[00:05:41] not want the formation he leads to join
[00:05:45] the government. A busy day for the former independent
[00:05:49] candidate in the presidential elections, Călin Georgescu has a busy schedule
[00:05:53] from the early hours of the morning. In a short time he will be taken to Diicot
[00:05:56] where the computer searches continue. An hour later he will
[00:06:00] arrive at the Bucharest Tribunal where he asks for the replacement of pre-trial detention with judicial
[00:06:04] control. And at 12 o'clock he is expected at the Bucharest
[00:06:07] Court of Appeal, where a new term is scheduled in the case in which he is accused
[00:06:11] of attempted
[00:06:13] coup. Serious traffic accident in
[00:06:17] Mihăiești locality in Vâlcea county. Attention, these are images that
[00:06:21] may emotionally affect you. Three people died and two were seriously
[00:06:24] injured and taken to the hospital. Two cars were involved in the accident
[00:06:28] with five people inside. Three of the victims remained trapped and firefighters
[00:06:32] intervened to extract them. Two of the extracted people were
[00:06:36] conscious and cooperative. However, the third one was declared
[00:06:39] deceased. The two seriously injured victims were reported
[00:06:43] to the emergency reception unit in Vâlcea. Firefighters, SMURD teams and
[00:06:46] ambulances intervened at the scene. Winter is at the door, and the wave of
[00:06:50] respiratory viruses is starting to claim more and more victims among
[00:06:54] the population. Family doctors warn that hospitals and
[00:06:57] clinics are filling up with patients with severe fever conditions that lead
[00:07:00] to entire days of absence from work and serious complications
[00:07:03] for children and the elderly. Doctors insist that the most effective method of
[00:07:07] protection against severe forms of illness remains
[00:07:11] timely flu vaccination before the outbreak of the seasonal
[00:07:14] epidemic. The vaccine is free or compensated for vulnerable categories,
[00:07:18] including people with chronic illnesses, children and the elderly,
[00:07:21] and can be prescribed directly by the family doctor. Specialists recommend
[00:07:25] citizens to avoid crowds, maintain rigorous
[00:07:28] hand hygiene and consult a doctor immediately at the
[00:07:32] first symptoms of illness, without resorting to self-medication with antibiotics.
[00:07:36] Iași is these days
[00:07:37] the capital of Orthodoxy, thousands of
[00:07:40] believers come to pray at the relics of Saint Parascheva and
[00:07:44] Saint Paisie of Sihăstria. Authorities say that this year a
[00:07:47] record participation was registered at the patronal feast of the patron saint
[00:07:51] of Moldova. Our colleague Laura Lucescu joins
[00:07:54] us from Iași with details. Laura, good to see you.
[00:07:58] Good morning, good to see everyone.
[00:07:59] Pilgrims came here to Iași from all
[00:08:04] corners of the country, they came by train, by personal car or by
[00:08:08] coaches. Some waited 15 hours in a row
[00:08:11] to reach the canopy with the relics of Saint Parascheva here in the courtyard
[00:08:15] of the Metropolitan Cathedral.
[00:08:19] Of course, in the meantime things have changed a bit. The queue
[00:08:23] is shorter now. 6500 people
[00:08:28] the queue stretches, as I said, for more than 3 km, and the waiting time
[00:08:32] has decreased to 5 hours. In total, over
[00:08:35] 120,000 people have passed by the reliquary so far.
[00:08:38] The pilgrimage also came with medical interventions, over
[00:08:41] 950 people needed care, 39
[00:08:45] of them were transported to the hospital. Last night, one
[00:08:48] of the most important moments of the feast took place, the procession of the
[00:08:52] Way of the Saints. The reliquaries with the relics of Saint Parascheva and Saint
[00:08:55] Paisie of Sihăstria were carried on the shoulders of priests through
[00:08:59] the streets of the city center. Last year,
[00:09:03] 27,500 people participated
[00:09:05] in the procession of the Way of the Saints, authorities say
[00:09:08] that last night 3,000 were registered. For
[00:09:12] approximately an hour and a half, veneration at the relics in the
[00:09:16] canopy was interrupted, and from 8:30 PM,
[00:09:20] the relics of the two saints were placed back in
[00:09:24] the canopy and veneration resumed.
[00:09:27] The pilgrimage continues here in Iași and we will return with
[00:09:29] details. Laura Lucescu live, thank you very much for
[00:09:33] all this
[00:09:34] information.
[00:09:38] The energy armistice announced by Donald Trump did not prevent new Russian
[00:09:41] attacks on Ukraine. A power plant in Kharkiv was hit
[00:09:45] just a few hours after the American president's message. In Kyiv,
[00:09:49] half of the city was left without electricity, and residents are
[00:09:52] warned that they could be without power, heating and
[00:09:55] water for days.
[00:09:57] Diesel could become cheaper in Romania after the agreement between Donald Trump and
[00:10:01] Vladimir Putin, but the reduction depends on the evolution of deliveries,
[00:10:05] the dollar exchange rate and the taxes applied. According to a simulation,
[00:10:08] drivers could save 11 RON for a full tank of 50 liters.
[00:10:12] We will detail everything
[00:10:13] immediately.
[00:10:22] The weather landscape is changing radically starting today. The change
[00:10:25] has already begun, meteorologists say that at least in the south
[00:10:29] of the country it is already raining and will rain in the coming hours. What is happening in the rest of the country, will it be colder, exactly, what is happening in the rest of
[00:10:33] the country, we see and our colleague Dana Iancu tells us right
[00:10:36] now, Dana, we prayed for this, but
[00:10:39] here we have a yellow code for abundant rains in the southeast
[00:10:43] of the country until tomorrow, so we expect quite significant
[00:10:47] adverse conditions quantitatively, some wind gusts and falling
[00:10:51] temperatures, although you noticed. The morning wasn't really very cold,
[00:10:55] it's not true, but it will gradually get colder in the next few hours,
[00:10:58] and the maximum will not exceed 15° today in the capital,
[00:11:01] we still have some time, let's see what is happening at this moment, we have
[00:11:05] a cold morning in the depressions with frost and fog, at this
[00:11:09] moment 10° is registered in Suceava, 13° in Iași,
[00:11:12] the clouds have already arrived and it has started to rain, Constanța,
[00:11:15] 17° with a little sun, capital 15°, at the moment,
[00:11:19] we have cloudy skies, 12° in
[00:11:22] Craiova, the rest of the country a little better, because the sun is present
[00:11:25] in the sky, but not for long, however the temperatures are much
[00:11:29] lower, 9° in Timișoara, 5° in Arad, 8° in
[00:11:33] Oradea, and in the center of the country we are limited to 9° in Cluj, Napoca,
[00:11:36] Sibiu, 11°, the clouds have already covered the sky here too
[00:11:40] and Brașov, 12°.
[00:11:43] Let's see where it's coldest and
[00:11:46] warmest at this moment, look, the warmest is in
[00:11:49] Sulina, 19°, where you saw that the sun has already appeared in Constanța.
[00:11:53] and the coldest is in Banat, four in Banat
[00:11:57] in Banlock at 4°, exactly as I told you in the west of the country, temperatures have started to drop
[00:12:01] considerably, but today the maximum temperatures will be between
[00:12:03] 13° in the depressions where it will remain
[00:12:07] cold, frost and fog, especially in the morning and
[00:12:11] 23°, look in Dobrogea, milder
[00:12:14] temperatures, but remember to take your umbrella from home.
[00:12:18] Dana, thank you for all this information and the energy
[00:12:22] truce promised by Russia, which Donald Trump wrote about, lasted
[00:12:26] for a short time. The thermal power plant in Kharkiv was the target
[00:12:29] of a massive attack approximately three hours after the US President's
[00:12:33] post. We warn you, there will be images and information that may
[00:12:42] people died and 25 were injured in a strike on
[00:12:46] the suburbs of Kharkiv. Among the victims were three children. Several
[00:12:50] apartments, cars and a grocery store were destroyed. In fact,
[00:12:53] Ukraine had no information about the energy truce
[00:12:57] announced by Trump, a high-ranking official quoted by the Kyiv
[00:13:01] press stated. The capital of Ukraine is on alert after
[00:13:04] half of the city was left without electricity. A high-voltage power
[00:13:08] line was damaged in a Russian attack, and water pressure
[00:13:12] dropped throughout the network. Residents were warned to prepare
[00:13:15] for at least three days without electricity, heating
[00:13:19] or running water. Europeans are hypocrites,
[00:13:23] is the defense built by the US
[00:13:27] Treasury Secretary around the Trump administration's decision
[00:13:31] to greenlight Russian diesel deliveries. The institution
[00:13:34] that practically manages sanctions against Moscow issued
[00:13:38] the temporary authorization that allows imports of Russian diesel
[00:13:41] until the first week of April 2027.
[00:13:45] the Iranian regime
[00:13:47] because they tried
[00:13:55] to have a choke point on the straight of hormoos, that didn't work,
[00:13:58] they tried to have a choke point on diesel prices, now that's not
[00:14:02] working, and charly is just as you said, the
[00:14:05] Europeans have given the Russians more money,
[00:14:08] they have since the start of this war than they have given the Ukrainians, because they
[00:14:12] cannot win themselves off Russian energy, they had
[00:14:16] a failed energy policy and Vladimir
[00:14:20] Putin, the uh they continue to fund him,
[00:14:23] so for them to say that we cannot have
[00:14:27] a respit in diesel pricing,
[00:14:30] diesel in Romania could become
[00:14:32] cheaper after the Trump-Putin
[00:14:36] agreement, but driver gains depend on three
[00:14:39] things: first, actual deliveries, the dollar exchange rate, and
[00:14:43] taxes in Romania. The effect comes through
[00:14:46] the international market, if additional fuel appears, distributors can
[00:14:49] buy cheaper, including for Romania. If Russia only
[00:14:53] changes buyers, the global deficit remains, warns
[00:14:56] the Intelligent Energy Association. The concrete calculation made by the Association:
[00:15:00] a reduction of 50 $/ton at a hypothetical
[00:15:04] exchange rate of 4.5 RON for one dollar, means approximately 19
[00:15:07] bani per liter before VAT, with VAT it results in about 23 bani,
[00:15:11] meaning 11 RON, saved for a 50-liter tank
[00:15:15] if,
[00:15:18] the pump in full. This is a new simulation.
[00:15:21] The excise duty can change the result. In the broader
[00:15:25] scenario presented by the Intelligent Energy Association, diesel could reach
[00:15:28] 10-10.4 RON per liter with the excise duty reduction
[00:15:32] maintained or 10.5- 6.8 without it. These intervals
[00:15:35] include several
[00:15:38] hypotheses, not just the American agreement, and a weaker RON against
[00:15:41] the dollar can absorb part of the external price reduction. America
[00:15:45] exports diesel, but it
[00:15:49] has regional imbalances, on the east coast, stocks were in
[00:15:51] September 32% below the seasonal average, according to the American
[00:15:55] energy agency. Imports can help this region, the total
[00:15:59] economy promised to Americans remains unknown at this time,
[00:16:02] and analysts. let's open a parenthesis, analysts say that
[00:16:06] the impact of this decision is marginal. Well, for
[00:16:09] Romania, the analysis reduces
[00:16:13] things in this scenario, but we must
[00:16:16] weigh both effects, a
[00:16:20] possible, a possible cheaper fuel and a Moscow that
[00:16:23] can sell its fuel more
[00:16:26] easily. European sanctions remain in force,
[00:16:29] pump savings can help transport and agriculture.
[00:16:33] The safety from the British border, on the other hand,
[00:16:36] remains part of the same bill that we, along with all
[00:16:39] Europeans, have to pay.
[00:16:43] The most comprehensive list of sanctions against Russia is today
[00:16:45] submitted for attention to the foreign ministers of the European Union gathered in
[00:16:49] Luxembourg. Around 1600 measures target only Moscow's defense
[00:16:52] industry, companies and organizations in shipbuilding,
[00:16:56] aviation, electronics and the aerospace sector. This is the largest
[00:17:00] list of sanctions ever presented for analysis at the community
[00:17:04] bloc level. The agenda of today's meeting also includes the escalation
[00:17:07] of Russia's hybrid campaign and security challenges in the Black
[00:17:11] Sea. Romania will also welcome, through the voice of the foreign minister,
[00:17:14] the opening of new negotiation chapters with the Republic of Moldova and
[00:17:18] Ukraine. NATO is preparing its defense for
[00:17:22] potential Russian escalations
[00:17:25] through deterrence measures, preventing threats and
[00:17:29] the ability to react quickly. In this strategy, Ukraine plays
[00:17:32] an essential role. "I see uh Ukraine as
[00:17:36] essential to Euro-atlantic security
[00:17:39] and I think uh the Ukrainians are proving right
[00:17:43] now to us uh that they are becoming security provider as opposed to someone
[00:17:47] who is just taking donations uh
[00:17:49] but I think they are contributing to our security and they're going to continue to do so in the
[00:17:53] in the years to come.
[00:17:57] Conflict over the future European budget and Romania could be directly
[00:17:59] affected. The Irish Presidency of the Union wants an 8%
[00:18:03] reduction compared to the Commission's proposal for the next seven
[00:18:06] years. Other countries, led by Germany, want an even smaller
[00:18:10] budget. France, on the other hand, advocates for an increase in community funds
[00:18:13] together with 17 other beneficiary states of European
[00:18:17] funds. Romania will oppose the cuts.
[00:18:20] Ireland, which holds the rotating
[00:18:22] presidency of the European Union, has proposed an
[00:18:25] 8% reduction in the European Commission's budget for the period
[00:18:28] 2028-2034. The amount would be
[00:18:32] 1.6 trillion euros. This is a compromise
[00:18:36] formula, six countries led by Germany, those that contribute
[00:18:39] substantially to the community budget, demand even larger
[00:18:42] reductions of hundreds of millions of euros. Romanian MEPs fear that
[00:18:46] key areas for Romanian infrastructure and economy would receive
[00:18:50] much smaller funding in the coming years. Romania currently
[00:18:53] depends on European funds for public investments.
[00:18:56] Six out of 10 public investments in
[00:18:59] Romania were made with European money. because these European
[00:19:03] funds translated into modernized schools and hospitals, as well as
[00:19:06] funding for farmers, and in this proposal it is evident
[00:19:10] that cohesion policy and the common agricultural policy would be
[00:19:14] the policies that would suffer the most. I am the
[00:19:17] author of the proposal to tax
[00:19:21] online betting platforms, only
[00:19:24] this proposal would bring to the common European budget
[00:19:28] approximately 24 billion euros, an amount
[00:19:31] that corresponds to the Erasmus program. Other sources of
[00:19:35] funding could come from taxing cryptocurrencies, as well as from deferring
[00:19:38] the payment of loans made by the European Commission under
[00:19:42] the recovery and resilience mechanism, more precisely from
[00:19:45] the time of the pandemic. Together with 16 other beneficiary countries
[00:19:49] of European funds from the Friends of Cohesion Group, Romania wants
[00:19:52] to negotiate a more solid budget for the coming years.
[00:19:56] Romania will certainly reject this proposal for a cut from the
[00:19:59] Irish Presidency, because it goes even
[00:20:03] below the European Commission's proposal, and
[00:20:06] we in the European Parliament asked for an increase
[00:20:09] of this budget by 10%. I think there will be a
[00:20:13] very tough negotiation stage between member states and the
[00:20:16] European Union cannot do more with less money. The multiannual budget
[00:20:20] of the European Union must be voted by all 27 member
[00:20:24] states to be adopted. Heads of state and government should reach
[00:20:27] a compromise by the end of this
[00:20:31] year. The saving capacity
[00:20:33] of Romanians is increasingly vulnerable
[00:20:37] to the growing pressures on family budgets,
[00:20:40] this in conditions where the increase in monthly costs constantly
[00:20:44] reduces the amounts available after covering essential
[00:20:47] expenses. Media shows that less than half of Romanians
[00:20:50] still manage to save very small amounts, while approximately
[00:20:54] 40% borrow almost monthly to cover usual
[00:20:58] expenses. Our colleague Luiza Târcă
[00:21:01] us with details. Luiza, good to see you.
[00:21:04] Good morning. The latest data from
[00:21:09] the National Institute of Statistics shows that a percentage of almost
[00:21:13] 85% of a family's monthly income went in the second
[00:21:16] quarter of this year, towards current
[00:21:20] expenses, necessary in that month, with
[00:21:23] 635 RON more than in the first
[00:21:27] quarter of the year. We talked to several people to
[00:21:30] see how they are coping financially and we met
[00:21:34] young, qualified people with higher education, one of whom said
[00:21:37] that she lost her job and changed four
[00:21:40] jobs this year. Another person who has a job
[00:21:43] and in addition is involved in several projects for
[00:21:46] supplementary income to support herself, we also met older
[00:21:50] people, who say that they would not cope without
[00:21:53] the help of their children. In
[00:21:57] this context, there are some
[00:22:00] people, almost half of Romanians, who, as you have
[00:22:03] seen, manage to save very little money and not
[00:22:06] always monthly, and people who no longer manage to save
[00:22:10] at all. In these conditions. Specialists explain that,
[00:22:14] although we are going through a difficult financial period, it is even more
[00:22:18] important to save money, even if we no longer manage to save
[00:22:21] larger amounts, as was the case before, and
[00:22:25] for this it is very important to
[00:22:28] review the budget for that month, the budget allocated to
[00:22:31] expenses and to cut those expenses that are not
[00:22:34] necessary, to avoid impulsive purchases and to postpone those acquisitions
[00:22:38] that are not urgent. Also extremely important
[00:22:41] is the emergency budget, those savings that we make
[00:22:45] for unforeseen situations, for urgent situations, when the car
[00:22:48] breaks down, for example, and repairs are necessary.
[00:22:52] If the washing machine breaks down or if there is a need for an
[00:22:55] emergency medical intervention, and the insurance does not
[00:22:59] cover all the costs or does not cover the costs at all, and the
[00:23:02] safety budget. that budget, those
[00:23:06] funds that we put aside, equivalent to
[00:23:09] three, four salaries or monthly income,
[00:23:12] so that we are covered in case we lose our income, to
[00:23:16] have three, four months at most
[00:23:20] to find solutions.
[00:23:23] Thank you very much for all this
[00:23:26] information. Drivers
[00:23:28] who want to buy hybrid cars in China may have to wait
[00:23:32] longer for some brands and models. The announcement comes
[00:23:36] from car dealers, after the European Union and China reached an agreement to
[00:23:39] reduce exports to the community market. The measure was expected
[00:23:41] by major European car manufacturers as the market share of Chinese
[00:23:45] hybrid cars has grown significantly in recent
[00:23:48] years. Gheorghe Ion is from Ploiești and would like to buy a car.
[00:23:52] și China au ajuns la acord pentru reducerea exporturilor pe piața
[00:23:56] comunitară. Măsura era așteptată de marii producători auto europeni în
[00:24:00] condițiile în care cota de piață a autoturismelor hibrid chinezești a
[00:24:03] crescut semnificativ în ultimii ani.
[00:24:07] to buy a hybrid Chinese
[00:24:10] car. He came to the Bucharest auto show to see what offers the
[00:24:14] dealers have. He says he has several reasons why he turned to
[00:24:18] Chinese manufacturers. The price seems more
[00:24:21] affordable than cars from Europe, they seem more affordable in
[00:24:25] price, they offer a larger number
[00:24:29] of kilometers for electric range than what we were used to on the European
[00:24:32] market. In recent years, Romanian drivers have become increasingly interested in
[00:24:36] Chinese cars. In September alone, out of over
[00:24:40] 1100 new cars registered in our country, almost
[00:24:43] 1900, which is approximately 17% of the total,
[00:24:47] belonged to Chinese brands. Moreover,
[00:24:50] a major Chinese car manufacturer climbed to fourth place in the sales
[00:24:54] top. This is shown by the latest official statistics. And in
[00:24:58] Europe, the market share of vehicles from China has increased substantially.
[00:25:02] For Plug-in Hybrid cars, it increased from 2% in
[00:25:05] 2024 to 25% in the first
[00:25:08] 6 months of this year. So the authorities have taken measures to
[00:25:12] protect local industry. The European Union reached an agreement
[00:25:16] with China to limit hybrid car exports to the market.
[00:25:50] in Europe, so that they have a production line
[00:25:54] in Europe as well. This could stimulate future
[00:25:58] sales, because
[00:26:01] existing customers could purchase the current
[00:26:04] models. The buyer will always have the last word, as long as the commercial
[00:26:08] offer is more competitive, the buyer
[00:26:11] will set the trend. Representatives of
[00:26:14] the European automotive industry expect the trade agreement to temper
[00:26:18] the sudden increase in imports from China.
[00:26:22] Odorless goat milk, well the scientists from Botoșani say
[00:26:25] that they found the solution. After almost 10 years of experiments, they managed to obtain
[00:26:29] a new breed of goats with fatter milk but with
[00:26:33] a taste and smell that will please even the most reluctant consumers. The animals could
[00:26:36] soon reach farms all over the country after the homologation of the new
[00:26:40] breed.
[00:26:46] At first glance, they seem like ordinary goats, in reality, they are
[00:26:49] the result of carefully controlled experiments. Since
[00:26:53] 2017, local goats have been crossbred with males of the
[00:26:56] Anglo-Nubian breed. At the Popăuți research station, there are now
[00:27:00] specimens from the third generation obtained in this
[00:27:06] a breed, we are just talking about a population now.
[00:27:09] The main characteristic we are working on now,
[00:27:13] acum,
[00:27:16] is milk production,
[00:27:19] production, we are talking about fat percentage and quantity. The idea
[00:27:22] of having in the north-east of Romania
[00:27:26] a biological creation
[00:27:29] specific to the climatic zone
[00:27:32] and
[00:27:35] a
[00:27:37] breed created in our area came to me from the very first years, because here
[00:27:41] I found a lot of undefined goats as a breed. The most
[00:27:45] important achievement of this project is the quality of the milk. The specialists
[00:27:49] aimed to increase the fat content, important for
[00:27:52] cheeses, but especially to eliminate the specific taste and
[00:27:55] smell that keep some consumers
[00:27:58] away. If I were to milk
[00:28:01] goat milk from this
[00:28:03] Anglo-Nubian breed and
[00:28:07] give it to a consumer to drink, without saying where it's from, they certainly wouldn't
[00:28:10] realize it's goat milk.
[00:28:13] The project was initiated with the station's own funds, but the promising
[00:28:17] results attracted the financial support of the Academy of
[00:28:20] Agricultural Sciences and the Ministry of Agriculture.
[00:28:24] Researchers hope that this new biological creation will be homologated
[00:28:28] soon and will reach farms all
[00:28:30] over the country.
[00:28:38] I have prepared some news for you, no more good to comment on. Romania is in
[00:28:42] first place in the European Union for domestic tourism.
[00:28:45] 89% of Romanians' trips were made in the country in
[00:28:48] 2025, according to Eurostat data. The top is completed by
[00:28:52] Spain, Greece and France. A Romanian woman was
[00:28:55] mugged in a Milan metro station by two men who
[00:28:59] initially offered to help her. The two offered to carry
[00:29:02] the stroller in which her two-year-old son was, then they
[00:29:06] snatched the chain from her neck and an earring. The suspects, two young
[00:29:09] Egyptians, were arrested by the Italian police.
[00:29:13] Americans are building houses from rice
[00:29:16] husks, considered until recently agricultural waste, rice
[00:29:19] husks are transformed into building materials
[00:29:22] resistant to moisture, pests and fire. A
[00:29:25] company in the United States has recycled over 9 million kilograms of
[00:29:29] rice husks to date. The tallest
[00:29:33] wind turbine in the world was erected in Germany, it can
[00:29:36] power 7500 homes with electricity for a whole
[00:29:39] year, designed and built by a company in
[00:29:42] Germany, the turbine represents a major technical innovation
[00:29:46] designed to capture the strong wind that blows over
[00:29:49] 300 meters above the ground, and a hotel in
[00:29:52] Italy filled up with tourists at the only gas station
[00:29:56] in the locality. The hotel owner transformed the customers'
[00:29:59] recent concern into a marketing campaign, but
[00:30:03] the "weekend with a full tank" offer was limited and
[00:30:06] quickly
[00:30:07] sold out.
[00:30:29] what the weather holds for us today, we have already seen, it's changing. The weather
[00:30:33] is bringing rain, it will get colder, how much colder Dana Iancu will tell us
[00:30:37] right now. Dana. Did you find an offer for plane
[00:30:52] beyond the borders. The weather is getting colder in central and
[00:30:55] southeastern Europe, while in the west and southwest of the continent
[00:30:58] temperatures.
