00:00:00was immediately in the first year and was not a practice
00:00:03until 2001. In 2001, continuous celebrations
00:00:06began in Knin, but Knin was not really the
00:00:10heart of the rebellion against the Croatian state and the right of the Croatian people
00:00:13to have their own national state within their internationally
00:00:17recognized borders. That rebellion came from Belgrade, and today,
00:00:21from recent days and years, and all this time
00:00:24we have been listening to the same nonsense, some will say
00:00:27revision of history. Croatia is one. a state at this
00:00:31moment in the European Union in NATO, whose army is led by
00:00:34people who were 30 years ago young men
00:00:38with serious unprecedented today,
00:00:41then military combat experience in
00:00:45Calais, in real combat, not a single chief
00:00:49of general staff of any NATO state has
00:00:52led a battalion in an attack, every soldier knows what a
00:00:56battalion in an attack is in a military exercise, let alone in actual
00:01:00wartime circumstances. Our chief of general staff Tihomir Kundid
00:01:04is, and he is the only one like that in the European Union in
00:01:07NATO, and among others, but not only for that, he also has
00:01:11and will have my
00:01:12trust.
00:01:15Operation Storm was a brilliant military victory, a
00:01:18legitimate liberation operation and the culmination
00:01:22of Croatia's struggle for freedom. Under the leadership of
00:01:25the first Croatian president, Dr. Franjo Tuđman,
00:01:29Croatian defenders, soldiers, police officers, in just
00:01:32a few days liberated the largest part of the occupied territory and
00:01:36enabled the return of refugees to their
00:01:39homes. Operation Storm saved Bihać from
00:01:43an impending humanitarian catastrophe,
00:01:46changed the balance of power in Bosnia and Herzegovina and
00:01:49opened the way to peace and the Dayton
00:01:52Agreement. For Croatia,
00:01:55after Operation Storm, a successful peaceful
00:01:57reintegration of the Croatian
00:02:00Danube region was also carried out, by which Croatia completed
00:02:04the process of its territorial integrity and
00:02:07the return of temporarily occupied areas to the constitutional legal order
00:02:11of the country. These historical facts are
00:02:15what our pride is based on,
00:02:18peaceful, dignified
00:02:20and unwavering.
00:02:27In recent weeks, Vesela, we witnessed the great tensions between
00:02:30the president and the government regarding the sending of Croatian soldiers to
00:02:34Paris for the celebration of the Day of the Fall
00:02:37of the Bastille, in the center of which was the Chief of General Staff
00:02:40Tihomir Kundid. The relations between the Prime Minister and the President have been strained for a long time,
00:02:44even without that, we know. Was that felt in Knin
00:02:47today?
00:02:50Well, it was not felt in Knin today at all.
00:02:54Minister of Defense Ivan Anušić says that they are on good terms, that
00:02:58they are good with Kundid, but that...
00:03:00That wouldn't be said, at least from what I managed to see from
00:03:04the morning in the protocol, so in some kind of contact with
00:03:07government representatives and specifically with Prime Minister Tihomir Kundid was not
00:03:11there all the time, so from the departure here from the square with
00:03:15the laying of wreaths to the central ceremony that took place right at
00:03:18the NK Dinara stadium, Tihomir Kundid was in the
00:03:22company of his boss, so President of the Republic Zoran
00:03:25Milanović, for their relations we can say that they are still
00:03:29good, so. they are firm, it was in
00:03:31his speech at the Dinara stadium
00:03:35that President Zoran Milanović also emphasized
00:03:39that their relations are very good and that there are no disagreements and that
00:03:43it will remain so.
00:03:46when Israeli bomb struck a Let's look at, or rather listen to what Prime Minister Andrej
00:03:49Plenković said about all that.
00:03:56There will always be tension, politics is like that, we cannot all think the same. and it would not be good if we all
00:04:00thought the same, the key
00:04:03to that is that in key and important matters, both General Kundid
00:04:07and the Prime Minister and the President must make decisions, and we
00:04:10make decisions that are important and key for the development and strengthening of the armed
00:04:14forces of the Republic of Croatia, they are the most important here, no one individual is important here, we are all
00:04:18transient and we will all at some point go our separate ways, but
00:04:22the armed forces must remain stronger when we leave this
00:04:26position to hand them over to someone who will continue to equip,
00:04:30modernize, strengthen, and empower our armed
00:04:32forces.
00:04:35Mr. Kondid, did you talk today, we greeted
00:04:39each other, thank you, thank
00:04:40you very much,
00:04:48yes, we also saw the situation that happened at Dinara stadium when
00:04:52the President of the Republic Zoran
00:04:55place, between him and
00:04:58Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, sat
00:05:02one of the people who is responsible for raising the flag on
00:05:06the Knin fortress, Robert Puja. The President
00:05:09of the Republic on that occasion, when he went to sit
00:05:12in his place, only shook his hand, then sat down, and practically
00:05:16didn't even look at the Prime Minister, so this is a scenario that we see
00:05:20almost every year here in Knin. I am now talking to
00:05:23the Mayor of Knin, Marija Čačić, so does it bother you
00:05:27that every anniversary passes in a tone
00:05:30where the Prime Minister and the President are quarreling, do you think that
00:05:34it should perhaps end one day? Well, I believe that
00:05:37it would be much nicer if they came together and
00:05:40jointly showed unity, as our veterans
00:05:44showed unity in '95, when we liberated
00:05:47our city Knin.
00:05:51I have to be honest, I didn't notice any
00:05:54friction between them,
00:05:57this time, well, I was part of the protocol, so I didn't, I didn't
00:06:00notice any friction. Well, they haven't shaken hands for a while, we see
00:06:04bickering on, so on the media and
00:06:08against each other, each one holds their own side,
00:06:11do you think that... it should have stopped already, or at least that at
00:06:15such events, they should greet each other and shake
00:06:18hands? Well, in any case, I agree that it should
00:06:22stop already, I'm afraid that these
00:06:25conflicts, that persistent
00:06:28conflict, cause damage to our entire
00:06:32country, especially on such a day. Maybe it's time to just
00:06:35sit down and talk to stop some
00:06:39public conflicts between them two. Today... really
00:06:43high temperatures, we are now melting, although
00:06:46it's 5:30 PM. Are you satisfied with
00:06:50the whole day, how it went and with the organization? We
00:06:53saw that some veterans wish
00:06:56for some changes, so are you perhaps for changes regarding
00:07:00the program itself? We see these high temperatures every year
00:07:04getting higher and higher, so uh I, I have to say that I am
00:07:07satisfied with the large number of people who are here all day
00:07:10in the city. Knin, perhaps
00:07:14surprisingly more than we initially
00:07:16expected, maybe it's the result of the concert that was held
00:07:20by Marko Perković Thompson, which was held in Šibenik, so some people from
00:07:24the concert immediately came here to Knin
00:07:27and participated in the program itself. I am
00:07:30very satisfied with how the program went, so everything we
00:07:34prepared for practically a month, all of us together, not just
00:07:38the city, but the vast majority of the Ministry of Internal
00:07:41Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Croatian
00:07:44Veterans, this, everything that was planned today was implemented
00:07:48without any mistakes and exactly
00:07:51as planned, so I can say that I am satisfied with the entire
00:07:55program, and as for complaints about changes, every year we
00:07:58introduce some changes, just so that the
00:08:01program is not the same. This year there were some programs and changes in
00:08:05our city program, for example, we introduced a new
00:08:08one, a new one that we plan to
00:08:12make a tradition in the future, so a festival
00:08:16of children's patriotic songs, that was, that was very
00:08:19well attended, very positive reactions to that,
00:08:22and that was two days before Operation Storm itself, this Monday
00:08:25it was, mm, on the very
00:08:28day of the celebration, August 5th, the entire program revolves around
00:08:32one point, that is 9:43 minutes, when in
00:08:361995, right on August 5th,
00:08:40the flag, the Croatian flag was raised on...
00:08:52this year, mass was held earlier before the main event, so we can say
00:08:55that
00:08:57it caused positive reactions, as I see, positive reactions specifically in the veteran
00:09:01population because the mass was held at a more decent time before
00:09:04the great heat, when it's practically
00:09:08easier to breathe, mornings are much colder. "I have to
00:09:11ask you, you've been mayor for two years,
00:09:15two terms in a row, before that you were also
00:09:18deputy mayor, you've been here for many years, Croats
00:09:21and Serbs live here in coexistence for many
00:09:24years, so considering that your citizens are both Croats and
00:09:28Serbs, how do you view these messages that come from Serbia, specifically from
00:09:31Aleksandar Vučić, who absolutely refuses to recognize
00:09:35Operation Storm? Well, I think he does that for
00:09:39his political situation there in Serbia. Every year we witness
00:09:42such statements. They don't benefit us at all, they
00:09:46don't bring any benefit, but also no harm, mm.
00:09:50He does that for some of his internal political
00:09:53squabbles there in Serbia, that's his right, that's
00:09:56something we cannot influence, something we cannot
00:09:59influence. I have to say that the local
00:10:02residents here, both Croats and Serbs, believe that
00:10:05Operation Storm was a legitimate operation, according to
00:10:09the information I have, and that
00:10:12it brought peace, which is the most important thing, not only here in Knin, but in all of
00:10:21at 6 o'clock in the streets of Knin a Corteo
00:10:25of Torcida is expected, that has been happening for the last three years, in the evening
00:10:29there will be a concert of Hrvatski Ruže and Tihe
00:10:32Urlić
00:10:51of Operation Storm again brought messages to the neighboring
00:10:55Serbia. The central point of this year's discussions became the arrival
00:10:58of diplomatic representatives of Montenegro to the celebration in Knin. This move
00:11:02provoked sharp reactions in Belgrade and Banja Luka, while official
00:11:06Podgorica sees the arrival as part of usual diplomatic practice
00:11:09and building good neighborly relations. Serbian President
00:11:13Aleksandar Vučić and former President of the Republic
00:11:16of Srpska Milorad Dodik openly call this act treason and
00:11:19an attack on Serbian victims. They were quickly answered
00:11:23from Knin.
00:11:28The 31st anniversary of the military-police operation
00:11:31Storm was marked peacefully and with dignity, but in
00:11:35the background of the ceremony, new regional earthquakes.
00:11:38The presence of the Montenegrin embassy in Knin raised
00:11:41the political temperature in the relations between Podgorica, Belgrade, Banja
00:11:45Luka. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić
00:11:48criticized Montenegro for sending a representative to Knin, but not
00:11:52to the commemoration for Serbian victims in Mrkonić.
00:11:55Work, thank the government of Montenegro, this is not
00:11:58the end, this is just the beginning of such decisions, they
00:12:02will have many more such decisions in the future, things
00:12:05will not change there, things will get worse
00:12:08and worse. Last year then Minister of Defense Dragan
00:12:12Krapović rejected the invitation, citing the historical and regional
00:12:15context and the sensitivity of the topic. Vučić's harsh words were immediately
00:12:19echoed in Banja Luka. I love Montenegro
00:12:23for some reason of my own. But I don't like it the way it is,
00:12:26treacherous, I have the right to say that, regardless of what anyone will say, that it interferes, because they
00:12:30interfere with our pain, they directly stab a knife
00:12:34in our heart, because they go and stand on the side of those
00:12:38who ethnically cleansed the Republic of Srpska
00:12:41Krajina. From Podgorica, they say that it is about respecting
00:12:45the host country and focusing on a European future and
00:12:48regional stability. The presence of diplomatic
00:12:52and consular representation at official state commemorations of the
00:12:55host country represents standard diplomatic practice, especially between
00:12:59neighboring countries and allies within NATO. Such participation
00:13:02reflects respect for the host country and its
00:13:05institutions, as well as Montenegro's commitment to fostering
00:13:09good neighborly relations, open dialogue, and
00:13:12regional cooperation. Operation Storm was a legitimate operation
00:13:15that restored the sovereignty of the country, the arrival of diplomats from
00:13:19Montenegro is a civilized act and respect for international
00:13:22order, said the Croatian foreign minister.
00:13:26All countries have accredited their ambassadors, I don't see
00:13:29any surprise
00:13:33why someone would be there and someone would not. So, all those
00:13:36who respect Croatian laws, which is
00:13:40implied, and Croatian
00:13:42holidays, are welcome. This year, Vučić
00:13:46continued with messages that Operation Storm was a crime that Serbs
00:13:50must not forget. I guarantee you that
00:13:53nowhere else in the Republic of Serbia,
00:13:56nor in any part of the territory
00:14:00of Serbia, there will be no storm,
00:14:03pogroms, and suffering of the Serbian people. Serbia is strong enough,
00:14:07I can tell you that today, it will preserve and protect
00:14:11its people. In Knin, Vučić's repetition of similar
00:14:14messages year after year did not surprise anyone, not even the state
00:14:18leadership. It is not necessary for everyone to see history in the same way,
00:14:21but I also think that we should not react
00:14:25to every nonsense, verbal nonsense that
00:14:28comes across the Danube, it will come all the time, but as for
00:14:32what is being done in the material sphere, that is,
00:14:36begging your pardon, armament, we need to deal with that
00:14:39and pay close attention to it. We threaten
00:14:42no one, but we fear no one. To
00:14:46every threat we will know how to respond. Croatia
00:14:50will never again be unprepared or
00:14:52unprotected. Do we want peace? "We must be
00:14:56able to defend it, considering such inflammatory rhetoric that in
00:14:59many ways resembles what happened in the 80s, we must
00:15:03be ready and what we saw today really makes it seem that
00:15:07Croatia is a strong country that can
00:15:10retaliate against any potential, against any potential
00:15:13threat. Regarding the messages sent by Aleksandar Vučić, but also what
00:15:16Operation Storm was, the coalition partners and
00:15:19the opposition agree. Croats never conquered, Croats defended
00:15:23themselves. As long as they are peaceful across the Drina and
00:15:27have no pretensions, we will build
00:15:30economic, interpersonal and all other relations, as
00:15:34they say, there will be no storms as long as they...
00:15:37"sit in peace and mind their own business, but
00:15:41if necessary, there will be storms. Look, they got beaten up
00:15:44in '95, so it hurts them, it
00:15:47burns them, and I'm sorry that's the case. There are certainly many normal people
00:15:51in Serbia who respect realities and want normal relations,
00:15:55but unfortunately, those who obviously don't want that dominate. History will
00:15:59show that Aleksandar Vučić is actually the biggest problem for Serbia and its
00:16:03citizens, and he has been showing a clear tendency for 10 years to write some new
00:16:06history". Serbia, Croatia, these parts of Europe, the world,
00:16:10he has got into this role of some kind of world director.
00:16:14We don't care, we don't care about them, let them, let them whine,
00:16:28Plenković, used the opportunity to announce an increase in veteran
00:16:31pensions. Here's exactly what he
00:16:32said.
00:16:35This autumn, the Croatian government will submit to the Parliament amendments to two
00:16:39laws, which will introduce an addition to
00:16:42the pension, the amount of which will depend on the length of participation
00:16:45in the defense of Croatia's sovereignty.
00:16:49Also, according to the same criterion, we will also increase
00:16:52the lowest veteran pensions. And after
00:16:55we abolished two previous reductions in 2017 and
00:16:582022, we will also abolish the last remaining
00:17:02reduction in pensions for members of the army,
00:17:05police, and other authorized officials introduced
00:17:09in 2002. These amendments will
00:17:12cover about 200,000
00:17:16Croatian veterans.
00:17:29due to drought and high temperatures, the Krško nuclear power plant will start
00:17:33reducing reactor power from tonight and will operate at reduced power.
00:17:37at 80%, further reductions are not ruled out.
00:17:41Here's what they said from Krško.
00:17:42Due to the continuation of extreme
00:17:46hydrological and meteorological conditions on the Sava River, it is announced that
00:17:49on Thursday night, the gradual reduction of reactor
00:17:53power will begin. In the first step, the power
00:17:56will be reduced to 80%. This
00:17:59is a planned, controlled, temporary measure that is necessary to
00:18:02ensure compliance with the provisions of the environmental permit,
00:18:06according to which the daily average temperature of the Sava River at the point of complete
00:18:09mixing downstream from the Brežice hydroelectric power plant must not exceed
00:18:1328°C, and the average daily temperature
00:18:16increase must not be greater than 3°C. If the
00:18:20current hydrological and meteorological conditions continue to
00:18:23worsen, the plant will continue to further reduce reactor
00:18:27power.
00:18:29Minister of Economy Ante Šušnjar
00:18:32was asked today what consequences that would have and whether
00:18:35electricity prices could increase.
00:18:38These are environmental
00:18:43requirements that will be slightly remodeled because we are in
00:18:46extreme weather conditions. The Krško
00:18:49nuclear power plant is definitely operating, producing
00:18:53energy. If that decision is made today, according
00:18:56to announcements from colleagues from Slovenia, there should be no
00:18:59reduction in power. We will see how the thermal
00:19:03situation develops
00:19:06in this part of the world, Europe, and we will
00:19:09act accordingly. However, for now,
00:19:12the Krško nuclear power plant is definitely
00:19:16operating, and there are no reductions. Can electricity prices increase?
00:19:19No, electricity prices cannot increase. We take care of supply
00:19:23security. Supply in the Republic of Croatia is
00:19:27secure. We have stable production and exchange.
00:19:30In
00:19:31Croatia, the peak of the heat
00:19:34wave. For the entire country, we have a red warning, which means that the weather
00:19:38is extremely dangerous and that citizens should protect themselves from
00:19:41heat waves. Temperatures today in most of the country were from 36 to
00:19:4539. HŽ Infrastruktura announced that
00:19:48the heat also heats up the tracks to over 60 degrees,
00:19:52so they are conducting increased surveillance of the track conditions. It is no easier
00:19:55in the rest of Europe either, they are still struggling with
00:19:59heat waves, low river levels, and fires.
00:20:02More from Andrej Dimitrijević.
00:20:05Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day, Croatian
00:20:09War Veterans Day, and the 31st anniversary of Operation
00:20:12Storm, were celebrated in Knin with a temperature of
00:20:1636°C.
00:20:18It was not
00:20:22easy for the state leadership to endure
00:20:24the heat.
00:20:29A red warning is in effect for the entire country, meaning the weather is
00:20:32extremely dangerous and citizens today and tomorrow should protect themselves
00:20:35from heat waves. HŽ Infrastruktura says that the heat
00:20:39heats up the tracks to over 60°, so they are conducting
00:20:42increased monitoring of the track conditions. In case of track
00:20:46deformation, train speed is temporarily limited or the track is closed,
00:20:49which can cause
00:20:51delays. It's no easier in the rest of
00:20:54Europe. Italy is facing a heat wave due to which
00:20:58a red alert is in effect in 25 cities, and tomorrow the
00:21:01warning will extend to a total of 27 cities.
00:21:04Three new deaths have been recorded, suspected to be related to
00:21:07extreme heat. It's hellishly hot in
00:21:11the Vatican.
00:21:14So we are a little used to it.
00:21:18Especially because of the humidity.
00:21:50more sensible, I liked the idea that, eh,
00:21:53Prague introduced some places where you can cool down, and so
00:21:57I'm struggling so, so that when it's time
00:22:00to cool down, I go swimming in the cold water of
00:22:04the Vltava, on the bank,
00:22:06we swim, we sit, then we sit and have a cold
00:22:10beer, for example, and mostly we sit at home like
00:22:14most people under a tree,
00:22:17Europe, the continent that is heating up the fastest. This summer it has been hit by
00:22:21record heat, devastating forest fires that have
00:22:24especially affected France and Spain, and of course
00:22:27Greece.
00:22:30Obviously the emphasis will be on Western Attica.
00:22:34So that we can
00:22:37ensure that all restoration works will be
00:22:41completed within the specified timelines. In
00:22:44Italy, by Lake Como, firefighters have been trying to contain the
00:22:48encroaching fire since yesterday.
00:22:52"Animals are also affected by the heat, rare European bison in Serbia
00:22:55are thus left without the necessary puddles from which they drink water and in which they
00:22:59cool down. When such periods occur, then
00:23:03we encounter a problem, because as I say, for example, a
00:23:07cow in such conditions drinks 80 to
00:23:11150 liters of water per day. But the worst is yet
00:23:14to come tomorrow. Parts of Croatia are threatened by up to
00:23:1742°C during the day, and temperatures
00:23:20at night will not drop below 22 degrees.
00:23:23The good news is that we only have to endure one more day, after that the
00:23:27hellish heat will
00:23:50Almost three years after Israeli bombs hit
00:23:53a residential building in Gaza City, 112 Palestinians killed
00:23:57in that attack were buried in a joint funeral
00:24:00ceremony. Gaza civil defense members last month
00:24:03began searching the ruins to find
00:24:07their remains, but the bodies have still not been
00:24:10found.
00:24:20war-torn streets of Gaza City. This funeral
00:24:23procession is nearly three years overdue. The
00:24:27112 men, women, and children being buried
00:24:31today, were killed in November 2023,
00:24:36residential block in this same city. Search and
00:24:39rescue teams were only able to begin recovering bodies from the rubble
00:24:43last month. Nearly three weeks later, Gaza's civil
00:24:46defense spokesman says they recovered the remains of...
00:25:20come to bid farewell, nearly every person killed in that November
00:25:232023 attack hailed from two large Palestinian
00:25:27families, one of which is tied to the mujahidin brigades, a
00:25:31Palestinian militant group. The Israeli military has not
00:25:35publicly identified any militants killed in that
00:25:38strike. Many more bodies are still trapped beneath the rubble,
00:25:42some 8,000 according to Gaza's civil
00:25:45defense.
00:25:48And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published a video statement regarding
00:25:52the Gaza agreement promoted by US President Donald Trump. In
00:25:55his video, Netanyahu says that Israel will not withdraw from current
00:25:59lines until Hamas is completely disarmed. Two,
00:26:16we allow our IDF soldiers to do whatever
00:26:19is necessary to protect themselves, to protect
00:26:22our territory, to protect our citizens.
00:26:25Three, President Trump thinks, his team thinks,
00:26:28that they can get Hamas to disarm.
00:26:31And to deploy to Gaza, we are checking
00:26:35it, they sent us a draft, we did not agree, it's not our
00:26:39draft, we sent our comments, by the way, we sent our comments
00:26:42before we received a media campaign on the matter, this
00:26:46is our position.
00:26:49The Hormuz Strait will be opened very soon. Otherwise, Iran will
00:26:52suffer greatly. a blow.
00:26:56President Donald Trump who said in an interview for Fox News. Trump
00:27:00added that good talks are being held,
00:27:02but that Tehran wants to reach an agreement. According to
00:27:05the website which refers to sources from the region, a
00:27:09temporary 60-day agreement is being discussed to
00:27:12regulate passage through the strait between Iran and Oman. This
00:27:16preliminary agreement, which could be announced as early as today,
00:27:19according to Axios, stipulates that all maritime traffic
00:27:23entering the strait will use the northern route through Iranian
00:27:26waters, all ships leaving will follow the southern route through
00:27:30Omani without paying fees. After reaching a final
00:27:33agreement, the central part of the strait should be cleared
00:27:36of mines, Axios warns that this compromise has not yet been
00:27:39finalized.
00:27:42The strait's going to be open very soon or they're going to get hit very hard
00:27:46and then the strait's going to be open. We were going to a
00:27:49tremendous attack, the biggest since World War II, and they called
00:27:53me and said, very politely, please can we
00:27:56talk, can we talk? They didn't want, and I
00:27:59said yes we can talk, let's get it done. finally let's get
00:28:03it done, they back out again, are they done? well, if they back out
00:28:07again, they're going to get hit really hard, they know that, they
00:28:10understand.
00:28:13a new Russian attack on Kyiv, in which 17 people were killed
00:28:16overnight, more than dozens were injured, according to
00:28:20officials of the Ukrainian emergency services. The attack damaged
00:28:24warehouses and other facilities, and rescue teams are still searching
00:28:27for possible survivors under the rubble. The air raid alarm in
00:28:31the capital lasted more than an hour, seven locations were hit.
00:28:34The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the targets were logistical
00:28:38and supply centers which they claim are used for military
00:28:42purposes. The attack caused fires in warehouses, and an ammonia leak
00:28:45was also reported, which emergency services have been working on all
00:28:48day.
00:28:52After yesterday's EU meeting and the decision that due to
00:28:56the migrant crisis in Ceuta, they will strengthen the protection of the Union's external borders and
00:28:59accelerate the return of those who do not have the right to stay. Spanish authorities
00:29:03report that the situation at the border is mostly under control now.
00:29:07Spanish Minister of Interior Fernando Grande said that about
00:29:1070,000 of approximately 72,000
00:29:13migrants who illegally entered there in recent days have already returned
00:29:17to Morocco and that the situation at the border is mostly under control.
00:29:21According to data from the central government, about 2,500 migrants
00:29:24are still in Ceuta, while local authorities estimate that there are
00:29:28between three and five. At least a thousand of them are minors.
00:29:31At the same time. Authorities confirmed that at least 75 people died
00:29:35during the mass border crossing, while official data states that more than
00:29:3880 people lost
00:29:42their lives by drowning or in a stampede.
00:29:54And tomorrow it will indeed be unpleasantly hot, then at the end
00:29:58of the week it should cool down a bit, primarily in the interior of the country.
00:30:02Kristijan Božarov brings
00:30:04a more detailed forecast. Hello, dear
00:30:08viewers, the peak of the heat is right above
00:30:11us today and tomorrow, therefore for these two days the State
00:30:14Hydrometeorological Institute for the entire Croatia has issued
00:30:18a red weather alert due to extremely high temperatures. All
00:30:22this is a consequence of the already several-day stable and dry
00:30:25anticyclone above our part of Europe. It brings
00:30:29clear days. The days are long full of sun, and at the same time
00:30:32it also draws in hot air originating from North Africa, so in that
00:30:36combination we have these extremely high temperatures
00:30:38and drought, similar will be during Thursday, dry, sunny
00:30:42and hot, as in previous days there may be moderate
00:30:46cloud development, mainly in the afternoon hours in the
00:30:49mountainous area of inland Dalmatia, Lika and Gorski
00:30:52Kotar and somewhere up to Učka. In that belt of the Dinarides there is
00:30:56a possibility of some scattered shorter local showers, but mostly for...
