00:00:48This is the noon news on M1, I'm Máté Kis, welcome.
00:00:51First, let's look at our most important
00:00:53news briefly.
00:00:55More than 100 people are mistakenly listed in the agent files. The archives apologized.
00:00:59They have already started deleting
00:01:01the names.
00:01:03György Matolcsi remains in custody. The former Central Bank governor
00:01:07is suspected of fraud,
00:01:08among other things.
00:01:11The formation of the government in Israel could drag on for weeks.
00:01:14The American Democratic victory does not
00:01:17from a burning house last night. favor the situation either.
00:01:22More than 100 people's names are mistakenly listed in the released agent
00:01:25files. It turned out that they were not observers, but observed
00:01:29ones. Sándor Lezsák is among them, who already protested
00:01:32on his social media page yesterday. The Director
00:01:35General of the Archives and the Prime Minister also apologized to Sándor
00:01:38Lezsák. Meanwhile, they have already started deleting the mistakenly published
00:01:41names.
00:01:45children and the parents. The "I am on the agent list, what kind of agent list?" This was the first reaction of János Szikora, Jászai
00:01:49Mari Award-winning director, when a Kossuth Radio correspondent called him
00:01:52because of the agent list. He said
00:01:55he didn't know he had a file, and he broke out in a sweat. Later he realized
00:01:59that in '87 they had indeed tried to recruit him, but he
00:02:02said no. This would have been the price for getting his driver's
00:02:05license back after a drunk driving incident. He brought
00:02:08my driver's license with him
00:02:12as well, and indicated
00:02:16that, well, in order for us to have a more serious conversation,
00:02:20he would need to register that such conversations
00:02:23are happening with me, so please sign
00:02:27this, and then my
00:02:30world suddenly collapsed, like, oh my god,
00:02:34they want to recruit me now. János Szikora eventually
00:02:37signed nothing, yet he still had a file. It also states
00:02:41that two years later he requested the termination
00:02:44house became uninhabitable, of contact. However, he says this did not happen, as he did not even
00:02:46know about the existence of the document. The six files are locked
00:02:50in these compartments. A part of the agent files were released
00:02:53yesterday. On the nyitottaktak.Hu website,
00:02:56material containing 6,000 names is available. In
00:03:0024 hours, it was revealed about many politicians,
00:03:03actors, or figures of scientific life
00:03:06that their names are in the registry. The head of department of
00:03:09the archive drew attention to the fact that the documents now made public
00:03:13served for registration. In order to get a complete picture, one must also
00:03:17examine the so-called B files. However, these will only
00:03:20be available in February. This will be a much more interpretable,
00:03:23digestible story. The only problem, and we say this
00:03:26often, is that the entire state security puzzle
00:03:30is missing pieces, and in many cases, the
00:03:33registration is missing when someone produced volumes,
00:03:36and vice versa, someone is on such a registration
00:03:40card, but in some cases, they do not have, for example,
00:03:43reports that can be compiled into volumes. The historical archive has now reported
00:03:47a technical error. It turned out that Sándor Lezsák's name appeared
00:03:51in the publicly released database due to an
00:03:54IT error. The Director-General told the news that
00:03:57he would personally apologize to the former Speaker
00:04:00of Parliament. The Prime Minister also did this on his social
00:04:03media page after he could not reach Sándor Lezsák by phone. Meanwhile,
00:04:07it also turned out that this is not an
00:04:10from hospital admission all Vice President, admitted that the isolated case. In the case of about 100, or a little
00:04:12more than 100 names, people were also listed who were
00:04:16not members
00:04:19of the network on the magnetic tape,
00:04:23but rather those who were observed
00:04:26by the network. According to a Europeon survey, the public
00:04:30release of the files has great public support, and two-thirds
00:04:33of people expect public consequences
00:04:36because of it. The Fidesz
00:04:40parliamentary group leader demands the shutdown of the nyitotttak.hu website.
00:04:44According to János Bóka, yesterday the names of people who were actually
00:04:47under surveillance, and not informants, were made public. Fidesz therefore
00:04:51demands that the site be made unavailable until it can be satisfactorily
00:04:55determined who was cooperating and who was
00:04:58under surveillance. In addition, they demand the establishment of political responsibility
00:05:02in the matter.
00:05:07department, through György Matolcsi will remain in custody because, according to the Metropolitan Court, there is a possibility
00:05:11of influencing the proceedings, of hiding,
00:05:15or of fleeing. The former president of the Hungarian National
00:05:18Bank is suspected of economic fraud causing significant financial damage and other
00:05:22crimes. The court will keep György Matolcsi
00:05:26in custody until November
00:05:2723rd.
00:05:30Béla Merkely, Rector of Semmelweis University, has resigned. According
00:05:34to Telex's information, he announced his resignation at the University's
00:05:37Senate meeting this morning. The portal reports
00:05:40that the reason for his resignation is a
00:05:42loss of confidence between the rector and the board of trustees of the foundation
00:05:46that maintains the university. Béla Merkely also issued a statement in which
00:05:49he writes that he will resign from January
00:05:521, 2027.
00:05:55The withdrawal of the price cap would not cause drastic price increases,
00:05:59according to the Hungarian National Bank. The government believes that due to low
00:06:03inflation, the measure can now be abolished. Opposition
00:06:06parties do not support this. There is currently no final decision
00:06:10on the withdrawal of the price cap. Meanwhile, the European Commission has
00:06:13launched two infringement proceedings against Hungary over
00:06:17the measure. The
00:06:20price cap, which has been in force since last spring, applies to
00:06:2330 basic foodstuffs, which stores can sell for at most
00:06:2710% more than they bought them for, meaning that this
00:06:30still does not mean a fixed price, so these products can also become
00:06:34more expensive if the purchase price rises. Sugar is also more expensive,
00:06:38I'm looking now, cooking oil is also
00:06:41more expensive, I'm still walking around here. everything
00:06:44is getting more expensive. It's good for buyers, but not for traders,
00:06:48the price cap. Small shops cannot compete with the low
00:06:52prices prescribed for multinationals. Last year,
00:06:55913 grocery stores had to
00:06:57close. They could not set prices in a way that consumers
00:07:01would buy from them, they turned away from them. Their revenue drastically
00:07:04decreased, and this was very seriously behind the closures.
00:07:07Inflation has significantly moderated, in fact
00:07:11it is almost at record low levels.
00:07:14Áron Porher said during the parliamentary debate on the withdrawal of the price
00:07:17cap that food prices had decreased by an average
00:07:20of 4.6%, which presents an ideal
00:07:23situation for withdrawal. The Secretary of State emphasized that while
00:07:27the price cap did reduce the price of certain
00:07:31products, traders made up for the shortfall by increasing
00:07:34the prices of other products. "Here, we are not working for the traders,
00:07:38primarily," he emphasized, "but for the
00:07:41voters." According to him, the government does not take into
00:07:44account that price-capped products are largely bought by
00:07:48large families. The Fidesz representative said he fears
00:07:52that, similar to gasoline prices, food prices will
00:07:55skyrocket if the restriction is lifted.
00:07:59According to the Hungarian National Bank's estimate, the withdrawal would
00:08:02not cause drastic price increases, as stated by the analyst
00:08:06interviewed by the news. Those that were affected, for example dairy
00:08:10products, yogurts, whose prices significantly decreased,
00:08:13even when this measure was introduced last year, it is possible
00:08:16that there will be a price increase, but it will probably not be as
00:08:19large as it was at
00:08:22the introduction. The withdrawal of the price cap
00:08:25has been urged by several organizations, including the Hungarian
00:08:29Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the National Chamber of Agriculture.
00:08:32The European Commission has also launched two
00:08:35infringement proceedings against Hungary due to the
00:08:38measure. December 23rd will be
00:08:42stressful for shop workers. This is what the president
00:08:45of the trade union of commercial employees expects, after the Parliament
00:08:48declared the 24th a public holiday. This means
00:08:52that shops will be closed for three consecutive days.
00:08:56The decision could mean a loss of up to 30 billion forints
00:08:59for the national economy, and this could lead to a customer
00:09:02rush greater than ever before. Despite this, the change was
00:09:05supported, because this way shop workers can also spend Christmas
00:09:09Eve with their families.
00:09:11"I hereby establish and promulgate the resolution of the National Assembly."
00:09:15On Tuesday, the National Assembly voted that December 24th, Christmas
00:09:18Eve, should be a public holiday this year.
00:09:21The National Trade Association welcomed the amendment.
00:09:25As they wrote, they leave enough time for preparation by adopting
00:09:29the amendment now, at the beginning of November. "I think everyone
00:09:32is very happy about it now." The president of one of the trade unions representing
00:09:35commercial workers told the news that the affected workers are particularly
00:09:39happy about the new day off, but the burden will not disappear.
00:09:42"What will bring a change is the 23rd, because on that
00:09:46day, with a three-day shop closure, people will obviously prepare by buying
00:09:50everything they find on the shelves, so I expect a very strong 23rd and
00:09:54a great burden on commercial workers." According to some
00:09:57calculations, another public holiday could mean a loss
00:10:00of up to 30 billion forints for the national economy.
00:10:03However, according to the National Association of Employers and Industrialists,
00:10:07this is not the only problem. "This year, this will probably cause
00:10:10difficulties for businesses, as year-end production plans,
00:10:14holiday plans, and work schedules
00:10:16have already been prepared, and therefore these may need
00:10:20to be modified." The public holiday on December 24th also
00:10:23means that, contrary to original plans, there will be no
00:10:26workday rescheduling, and there will be no need to work
00:10:30on Saturday, December 12th.
00:10:36Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed strengthening air defense and security
00:10:40guarantees after the war in a phone call with Donald
00:10:43Trump's special envoy before next week's
00:10:46talks. On Tuesday, an Ukrainian-Russian-American meeting
00:10:49will be held in Abu Dhabi to end the conflict.
00:10:53After the Ukrainian American midterm elections, Ukrainians
00:10:56now hope for more support from the United States.
00:11:00Firefighters were called to burning warehouses in the Kiev region
00:11:04on Thursday morning. According to Ukrainian reports, the Russians
00:11:08carried out 130 airstrikes overnight. People hope
00:11:11to receive more air defense weapons from the United States
00:11:15after the American Democratic Party gained a majority in both the
00:11:18Lower and Upper Houses of Congress.
00:11:21"I'm glad, because before Donald Trump took office, Ukraine was able
00:11:25to cooperate with Democrats and Joe Biden," a man said.
00:11:28Ukrainians hope that the Republican defeat
00:11:32will increase Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's diplomatic
00:11:35maneuvering room. However, many fear that the weakening of the American
00:11:39president's power could slow down
00:11:41peace talks.
00:11:44"The American president no longer has global influence,
00:11:48and probably never will again," another man believed. Some fear
00:11:52that Donald Trump will obstruct with a veto.
00:12:11Europe and the United States together are much stronger, stated the
00:12:15European Union's High Representative
00:12:16for Foreign Affairs.
00:12:21The Ukrainian president spoke on the phone on Wednesday with Donald Trump's special
00:12:25envoy about strengthening Ukrainian air defense
00:12:28and preparing for next week's Russian-Ukrainian-American
00:12:31talks. However, the Russian president
00:12:34does not plan a phone consultation with the American president,
00:12:38the Kremlin spokesman announced. Dmitri Peskov also spoke about
00:12:41the key topics of next week's trilateral talks being security
00:12:45guarantees. A
00:12:48stalemate has arisen after the Israeli elections. Neither Benjamin
00:12:52Netanyahu nor the opposition camp can
00:12:56form a government. The Arab parties could hold the balance of power,
00:13:00but neither side can easily accept their support. Before
00:13:03the elections, they declared that they would not cooperate
00:13:06with the Arabs.
00:13:09On Thursday morning, the Israeli President again received the leaders
00:13:13of the parties. After it became clear that neither the coalition led
00:13:16by Benjamin Netanyahu nor the opposition alliance
00:13:20had secured enough seats to form a government.
00:13:23At Wednesday's consultation, every politician proposed the leader
00:13:27of their own coalition to the
00:13:28prime minister.
00:13:31"The main thing is that we advocate for the creation of a broad
00:13:33national government, which would be led by Benjamin Netanyahu,"
00:13:37said a member of the Religious Zionism party. The opposition rallied
00:13:41behind Gudy Eisencott. He is expected to gather
00:13:44the most recommendations for the prime ministerial
00:13:47candidacy. "We just negotiated with the
00:13:50head of state. We proposed to him that he entrust Gudy Eisenkot
00:13:53with forming the government."
00:14:03"We have decisive power in the Knesset, everything depends on us,"
00:14:05said the leader of one of the Arab parties. But
00:14:09the Jewish parties cannot or do not want to form
00:14:12an alliance with them. However, Israel needs a new government
00:14:16as soon as possible, after the Democrats achieved a landslide
00:14:19victory in the American midterm elections, they can expect
00:14:22significantly less support
00:14:25from the United States. In the fight against Iran, the Israelis
00:14:28may also be left to their own devices, after Jay Devons, the American
00:14:34war caused the Republican defeat. Donald Trump also did
00:14:37not deny this.
00:14:39"I think the main thing was that the price of gas went up a bit,
00:14:43but we probably lost because of that too. Yes," said the American
00:14:47president.
00:14:49Experts expect prolonged coalition negotiations in
00:14:52Israel.
00:14:55Hubert Aiwanger, Deputy Prime Minister of Hungary, was found dead
00:14:58in Berlin. The 55-year-old politician was supposed to attend
00:15:02the opening of one of the Free Voters' Berlin offices, but did not
00:15:06appear at the event due to feeling unwell. His
00:15:09body was found in his hotel room. The police and prosecutor's
00:15:13office have launched an investigation to clarify the cause and circumstances
00:15:17of his death.
00:15:20Tomorrow begins Pope Leo XIV's 12-day apostolic
00:15:24visit. The head of the Catholic Church will visit
00:15:28Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru. In the latter,
00:15:31he served as a bishop for 20 years among the poor. Now
00:15:35he returns there for the first time as Pope.
00:15:38The car that will transport Pope Leo XIV was blessed
00:15:42in a solemn ceremony in Peru on Wednesday. Thanks to the Popemobile,
00:15:46many faithful will be able to see the head of the Catholic
00:15:49Church up close. The vehicle was converted according to Vatican
00:15:53regulations. The Holy Father previously served in the country
00:15:56for nearly two decades as a missionary
00:15:59and bishop. He helped those in need in
00:16:02the poorest regions. During his South American trip, the Pope
00:16:05will also visit Uruguay. In the country, the separation of church and state
00:16:09is a very prominent principle. According to surveys,
00:16:13only one-third of adults identify as
00:16:15Catholic.
00:16:17"I'm very excited, we don't know if there will be another one like
00:16:21this. The last one was Pope John Paul II," said a student. Pilgrims
00:16:25processed to the Buenos Aires cathedral where Pope Leo XIV
00:16:28will celebrate Mass on Monday. "This is the first
00:16:32time he can be seen in person and it fills me with great
00:16:36joy," he enthused.
00:16:49A man from Jánoshalma rescued his five children and wife
00:16:54The family's home was completely burned down, their furniture,
00:16:57clothes, and documents were lost. The cause of the
00:17:01fire in the building is still under investigation.
00:17:04A burnt-out kitchen, soot-covered walls,
00:17:08and a charred door - this was the sight that greeted
00:17:11firefighters at this family home in Jánoshalma,
00:17:14where flames erupted last night. So we were asleep, the kitchen
00:17:18caught fire. There were seven people in the building, five
00:17:23father rescued the family from the already almost completely
00:17:26burning house. "I was sleeping, and it was
00:17:29as if someone whispered in my ear to wake up because something was wrong.
00:17:33I opened my eyes and noticed that there was a lot of smoke,
00:17:36and such...
00:17:41I ran out with the burning door so fast, it's unbelievable, and I immediately carried all my
00:17:43children out." The firefighters also broke open
00:17:46the floor, inspected the attic to extinguish any
00:17:50hidden embers. Furniture burned
00:17:54in the kitchen of a roughly 56-square-meter
00:17:57building in Jánoshalma. The Jánoshalma
00:18:00municipal firefighters, who were the first to arrive at the
00:18:03scene, de-energized the building, began to
00:18:06extinguish the fire, and removed a gas cylinder from the house.
00:18:10Professional firefighters from Kiskunhalas arrived shortly
00:18:12thereafter, and the units brought the flames under
00:18:16control with two water jets and hand tools. The
00:18:21and the family's temporary accommodation is being
00:18:24arranged by their acquaintances. It is still being investigated what exactly caused
00:18:28the fire. The influenza vaccines have arrived.
00:18:31Hospitals are already vaccinating their staff. At the
00:18:35Uzsoki Street Hospital in Budapest, 460 people requested
00:18:39the vaccine, most of whom have already received the shot. Experts
00:18:42primarily recommend vaccination for the elderly and chronically
00:18:46ill, as they are at higher risk of developing severe
00:18:49complications. "Our
00:18:53task is to prevent the introduction
00:18:57of infection, of the virus
00:18:59into hospitals. We can do this effectively
00:19:03with the use of vaccinations.
00:19:06On the one hand, this means
00:19:09that fewer internal
00:19:13illnesses may develop. The other very
00:19:16important task is to
00:19:19ensure the continuity of operations, because if our
00:19:22employees get sick, in the
00:19:25event of a more intense epidemic,
00:19:29in that case, problems may arise in the area
00:19:32of hospital operation."
00:19:36An application has been developed at the University of Pécs
00:19:40to help with stress relief. The TraumaTeam app provides
00:19:42a lot of useful information to mentally support patients,
00:19:47the way to rehabilitation.
00:19:51The new phone application of the University of Pécs is being
00:19:54shown to patients in the traumatology department. The unique
00:19:57Hungarian innovation mentally supports patients, among
00:20:01other things with audio materials. "I listened to one of its chapters
00:20:05several times,
00:20:08and I found that there was a message
00:20:11for me in it." The Traumatem application is available not only
00:20:14in the hospital but also at home for patients and their relatives.
00:20:18"Anyone who suffers an injury and enters
00:20:22the healthcare system will find it useful." The
00:20:25application also tries to relieve stress in patients with
00:20:28a lot of useful information. The various audio materials support
00:20:32them from hospital admission all the way to recovery.
00:20:35It adapts to every step of the patient's journey.
00:20:37From entering the ambulance
00:20:41or admission to the emergency
00:20:45preparation for diagnostic processes. It contains
00:20:48anxiety relief,
00:20:52pain relief, and sleep-inducing
00:20:55texts. The director of the traumatology
00:20:58clinic said that the most important thing is to calm
00:21:01patients and manage stress. This application fills a gap in
00:21:04this regard. "It not only serves the health of employees,
00:21:08but also helps patients overcome their fears,
00:21:12understand therapeutic plans, and facilitates
00:21:15cooperation, so it is useful
00:21:17from all perspectives. But not only for patients." The program
00:21:20also helps healthcare workers manage stress or
00:21:23process daily emotional
00:21:25burdens.
00:21:28The filling in of the Örs vezér tere underpass is not on the agenda,
00:21:32the Mayor's Office informed the news. Earlier, the mayor of Zugló
00:21:35suggested that the underpass should be closed if public safety
00:21:39cannot be improved. Public area supervisors check
00:21:42the area several times a day, but after dark,
00:21:45problems persist. The surveillance
00:21:49camera did not deter the man who repeatedly
00:21:52punched and then kicked his acquaintance in the
00:21:55Örs vezér tere underpass, exactly three years
00:21:58ago. Public safety, at least after
00:22:01dark, has not improved since then. In the late
00:22:05evening hours and at night, it is still not advisable to go
00:22:09down to the underpass alone. "Some very increased, or preferably constant, presence would be needed,
00:22:12especially during critical hours, such as weekend
00:22:16evenings, which can be quite unpleasant, as all sorts
00:22:19of people are present there and behave
00:22:22in ways that disturb passengers and passers-by."
00:22:26The mayor recently suggested that if the owner,
00:22:29the municipal government of Budapest, is unable to handle the situation,
00:22:32it would be best to close the underpass. The
00:22:36Mayor's Office, in response to M1's question, stated that closing
00:22:40an underpass similar to the one at Örs vezér tere
00:22:43is a complex traffic engineering issue that would
00:22:47cost over 10 billion forints. Therefore, they
00:22:50consider the closing of the underpass to be an unprofessional
00:22:53idea. They highlighted that public
00:22:56space supervision checks the Örs vezér tere on average
00:22:59four times a day. In addition, this year they have taken action
00:23:03almost 100 times based on live footage from the
00:23:06surveillance cameras. Another neuralgic point
00:23:10in Budapest from a public safety perspective is the Kőbánya-Kispest
00:23:14terminus of metro line 3. Beggars sell stolen goods
00:23:17from shopping center stores here.
00:23:20"It cast a very bad light on Hungary that tourists, foreigners, come
00:23:28by bus, and they are often accosted
00:23:31- they beg when they see foreigners pulling their
00:23:35small suitcases. Why do they accost them and tell them to give money, because they know
00:23:39they came from abroad?" At the Köki terminal, MÁV, BKK, and
00:23:42the shopping center share responsibility. There is
00:23:46no common security service, police only come out on call.
00:23:50The one or two railway guards assigned here avoid
00:23:53sensitive areas widely for their own
00:23:56safety.
00:23:58Two cats have been appointed ambassadors in Japan. Chidur and
00:24:02Yamato were not unknown in the island nation before. They
00:24:05held important positions at a train station. One of them
00:24:08was the stationmaster, and the other was his deputy. They were
00:24:12so popular that locals hope that as ambassadors, they will attract
00:24:16even more tourists to Japan.
00:24:37Now, however, their lives have reached a turning point: they have been appointed tourism ambassadors for Hiroshima
00:24:39Prefecture. "The cat siblings help
00:24:43revitalize the community and promote the railway,"
00:24:47said the region's tourism official. The promoted
00:24:50cats peacefully and somewhat unenthusiastically acknowledged
00:24:54their new task. In Japan,
00:24:56animals are often symbolically appointed
00:24:59stationmasters. However, only a few have reached
00:25:02ambassadorial level so far.
