00:00:00promotion of Sarajevo, I say again, at that moment, more
00:00:03regions arrive, people come for entertainment, because it is definitely
00:00:06perhaps the best entertainment precisely in that period, meaning not only film,
00:00:10but a lot of musical activities, concerts, events, although
00:00:14the film fever has not yet gripped Sarajevo, without
00:00:17a doubt it will grip it on August 14th when
00:00:21the 32nd Sarajevo Film Festival begins. During
00:00:25the eight festival days, the audience can expect screenings of feature films,
00:00:28documentaries, short films, and student films. Open-air screenings, numerous
00:00:32premieres, and discussions with authors. The organizers emphasize
00:00:35that the final preparations are almost complete and that this year's
00:00:38edition will gather some of the most famous names in the regional
00:00:41and world film scene. Two massive
00:00:44festival programs are the Open
00:00:48Air programs, or open Air open air
00:00:51premieres. Um, these
00:00:54are two festival programs that attract the largest audience,
00:00:57happening at the largest festival locations, these are
00:01:01films that are uh, films in the context of
00:01:05opening and closing festivals, these are films with
00:01:08honorary guests of the Sara Film Festival, these are
00:01:12of course some of the biggest European and world titles that marked
00:01:15the festival year. The tourist season in Sarajevo has already reached
00:01:19its peak, and the Sarajevo Film Festival should give it
00:01:22its final touch. In a few days, the spotlights will be on,
00:01:26the red carpet laid out, and the main BH city will once again be
00:01:30host to the biggest film event in this part of Europe and
00:01:33once again confirm why August is its most important
00:01:37month. Feđa Kulina,
00:01:38N1.
00:01:42On Thursday, August 13th, Sarajevo will host the group
00:01:46The Prodigy at the Grbavica Stadium, one of the most influential world
00:01:49electronic music bands. The concert was announced today at a press conference
00:01:53held in the Blue Salon of the Grbavica
00:01:55Stadium.
00:01:58Garnodrins has been for the last 10 years, um,
00:02:01building a reputation so that we could reach this
00:02:04moment, we've been doing various
00:02:08events, festivals, building our international
00:02:11image for 10 years, so that two years ago we started
00:02:14negotiations for a concert by the group
00:02:16The Prodigy, we were supposed to do it last year, but we
00:02:20just missed out on that booking, so here
00:02:24we are now, we are performing on August 13th at the Grbavica
00:02:27Stadium.
00:02:30"I think that since the YouTube concert we haven't had a stronger
00:02:34concert. We have our own performers, Dino showed
00:02:37what a domestic brand is when he fills
00:02:41Koševo Stadium three times, Ćola as well, but
00:02:44I'm talking about foreign performers, where there will be
00:02:48a spectacle, you really need to experience this, there can't be
00:02:51a better moment than the day
00:02:53And there were many of the thousands of before the start of the Sarajevo Film
00:02:54Festival.
00:02:58Sarajevo is simply an administrative center, a cultural
00:03:01and historical hub that must be a tourist center.
00:03:05It's very important that we have a lot of content. We
00:03:09arrived in Istanbul where he was met at succeeded as a tourist board, right? So let me
00:03:13greet you on behalf of the tourist board of our global brand Visit Sarajevo.
00:03:17We managed to bring that number of overnight stays, in the first six
00:03:20months, it exceeded more than 10%. That's what's important, that's
00:03:24sustainable tourism. Without such
00:03:26events, without cultural and sports events,
00:03:30many festivals, you cannot keep
00:03:33people at the destination
00:03:35for long.
00:03:38In the Royal City of Jajce, there is no room to spare. This
00:03:41summer season offers a multitude of tourist and
00:03:44cultural and sports activities. After having hosted the Desant
00:03:47festival, Jajce will host the 11th International
00:03:50Pliva Waterfall Jumps on Saturday, which
00:03:54will further attract a large number of domestic and foreign
00:03:57visitors.
00:04:00The royal city of Jajce is unique in many ways; in one small place, it represents
00:04:04everything that Bosnia and Herzegovina actually is. Its rich cultural
00:04:08and historical heritage places it on the tentative list of world cultural
00:04:11heritage. 30 national monuments, through the intertwining of different
00:04:15periods of the past, tell their own story. In the
00:04:19end, all of that is actually connected with such a
00:04:22unique nature that we can, look, behind my back also
00:04:26see, creates a special blend of natural and
00:04:30that heritage that is rarely seen and is one of the main reasons
00:04:33why people actually come to Jajce and why they
00:04:36should come. The hosts are satisfied with the influx of tourists, so
00:04:40they are tirelessly coming even from
00:04:44the geopolitical situation. That's why they are tirelessly working on improving
00:04:47the tourist offer. We are arranging some of our
00:04:50most beautiful and naturally beautiful parts. So last
00:04:53year we built a beach on the small lake,
00:04:57that's just the beginning of the works that will follow in the next period. We
00:05:01will further beautify that part of the city with
00:05:05various contents that will attract
00:05:09people, and those we found, we asked them what made the biggest impression
00:05:12on them.
00:05:16I'm here with my family, we practically spent our entire vacation
00:05:19in the Balkan countries, first we were in Sarajevo,
00:05:23then we traveled to Montenegro, we're staying in Jajce for three days, then we're
00:05:27going back to Poland. Great city with a fantastic lake,
00:05:30you have a lot to
00:05:32do.
00:05:35This is my first time here, and certainly not my last. Jajce is
00:05:38beautiful. I don't know how much of it we'll manage to see in two days.
00:05:42days, but it's a nice experience, so
00:05:45we'll be here for seven or eight days, that's what we have for a vacation in
00:05:49Jajce. It's our first time, yes, we've been here for two hours at those waterfalls,
00:05:52we'll go to the AVNOJ Museum,
00:05:56instead of these catacombs, it's precisely the fortress and the Pliva waterfall,
00:05:59the key and finger of the city that visitors have first on their list for
00:06:03sightseeing, and for adrenaline lovers who have the courage to meet
00:06:07the waterfall face to face, a zipline is also
00:06:09available. I've been here for eight days. I'm very
00:06:13excited about the zipline and generally very satisfied
00:06:16with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:06:20Bosnia. To pass in the best order are instructors who with great
00:06:24care ensure that all visitors descend safely.
00:06:28It is special because we are the only ones in Bosnia and Herzegovina who have
00:06:31a unique opportunity to go over a waterfall
00:06:34which is very charming for all tourists
00:06:37and our citizens of the city of Jajce. Cultural and
00:06:41natural heritage alone is not enough for the development of
00:06:45a modern destination, our interlocutors agree, which is why the summer is full of a rich festival
00:06:48program, so already tomorrow we are starting, we are opening another
00:06:52royal festival in Jajce, on Saturday also here at
00:06:55the Pliva River waterfall, we have one of the most interesting events in
00:06:59Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are the waterfall jumps, where we expect
00:07:03jumpers from all over this region, who will try to
00:07:07perform the best traditional swallow dive, but although it relies more on
00:07:10summer tourism, Jajce also has a lot of potential for winter tourism as it has
00:07:14its own ski resort. However, as long as a higher power called
00:07:17climate change intervenes, it is unlikely that this potential will be fully
00:07:21utilized. About twenty years ago,
00:07:24people from Jajce skied for two months continuously,
00:07:28but for the past few years, this has not been the case. As I said, we reached
00:07:32a point where we didn't ski at all this winter, so
00:07:36unfortunately, we can only talk about summer tourism, which has
00:07:39definitely met the expectations of everyone who visits
00:07:42this historic city, where upon arrival you are first greeted by the fortress,
00:07:46the last seat of Bosnian kings, located at the top
00:07:49of a hill above the confluence of the Pliva and Vrbas rivers. This 13th-century
00:07:52building is a national monument and a key symbol
00:07:56of medieval resistance. Tatjana Drljić, N1
00:09:01arrived in Morocco where he held a crisis meeting with the leading
00:09:05figures of world football's governing body, after the collapse
00:09:08of the controversial plan to sell part of the World Cup's commercial rights.
00:09:12The proposal to sell a 20% stake to private investors
00:09:16sparked fierce criticism, especially from UEFA, which
00:09:19accused Infantino of trying to sell the soul of football and
00:09:23stated that it no longer trusted his leadership. Due to the entire
00:09:26affair, Infantino's candidacy for a fourth term
00:09:30at the head of FIFA, which will be decided at the congress in
00:09:33March next
00:09:34year, has been called into question.
00:09:38And it is precisely Infantino who is in crisis mode after the failed attempt, as
00:09:42we already said, to sell ownership of the World Cup to
00:09:46people with money. The esteemed Swiss lawyer, professor, former
00:09:49member of the independent FIFA governance committee, Mark
00:09:53Piette, in an interview for N1, spoke about the structural
00:09:56problems of this organization, the greed of its leaders, and
00:10:00the complete disregard for human rights. Infantino's attempt to
00:10:04commercialize the very core
00:10:07of FIFA was met with strong opposition from UEFA,
00:10:11Concacaf and other federations.
00:10:14Professor Piet points out that the current FIFA president is an ambiguous figure
00:10:18who brought money to the institution, but in his desire for power and personal
00:10:21enrichment, he still crossed the line.
00:10:25Uh, he has in a way, first of all, done it in
00:10:29much more proficient way, and
00:10:32he's now trying to go over the
00:10:36top to actually sell FIFA to to
00:10:39people outside, and that is unheard of, that
00:10:43is well beyond what Blatter ever attempted
00:13:47Mitrović.
00:13:50Very warm tomorrow, and a slight cool down is coming
00:13:53from Friday. A very warm air mass remains
00:13:57over our regions, so there will be no changes in temperature,
00:14:00it will remain very warm. However,
00:14:04an increase in humidity in the air will create conditions
00:14:07for local downpours accompanied
00:14:10by thunder. Tomorrow we can expect another predominantly sunny
00:14:13and very warm day. Towards the end of the day, local cloud
00:14:17development may cause brief downpours
00:14:20in some parts of the south and west of the country. The wind will be light
00:14:23to moderate, easterly. Minimum temperature in Bosnia up to
00:14:2719 degrees, tropical night in the south, temperature up to
00:14:3026, maximum temperature in
00:14:33the range of 35 degrees to 42
00:14:37degrees. From Friday onwards, a slight drop in temperature with
00:14:40occasional local downpours and thunderstorms.
00:14:44Maximum temperature in Bosnia up to 36 degrees and in
00:14:47the south up to 39. From Monday onwards, then again
00:14:51warmer.
00:14:55you were watching the N1 news, thank you for your attention, good evening.
00:15:27Society of leaders has not matched
00:15:29power.
00:15:40Donald Trump again announces the rapid opening of the Strait of Hormuz with a threat
00:15:44to Iran. The capital of Ukraine was again the target of a fierce attack by
00:15:47Russia. UNICEF warns of hundreds of unaccompanied children after
00:15:51migrant chaos in Ceuta. The UN warns of a devastating
00:15:55El Niño, US Secretary of Health called for new
00:15:58research on vaccine safety. Welcome to
00:16:01Global.
00:16:09Preparations for an agreement on navigation in the Strait of Hormuz are in their final stages,
00:16:12although Donald Trump announced the rapid opening of this passage, Iranian
00:16:16state television reports that a possible agreement with Oman will not
00:16:20mean an immediate opening. Tehran states that negotiations
00:16:23are being conducted without US participation and that the opening of the passage depends on
00:16:27an end to US attacks. Despite this, announcements of a temporary
00:16:31agreement have already brought down oil prices by more than 5%.
00:16:34At the same time, sources in the Pentagon warn that US
00:16:38ammunition stockpiles are dangerously low. Since the start of the conflict, the US
00:16:41has used nearly 80% of its missiles for the THAAD system and
00:16:45half of its Patriot stockpiles, which causes concern among
00:16:48allies in the
00:16:49Gulf.
00:16:54They say only consequential
00:16:56presidents and I am definitely consequential. I mean, if you look at the
00:17:00economy, if you look at what's happening. Iran as an
00:17:03example will never have nuclear weapon, they already can't, but
00:17:06they'll it's going to be formal. "uh, the straight's going to be open very soon
00:17:10or they're going to get hit very hard and then the straight's going to be
00:17:13open, and we were going to a tremendous attack, the biggest since World
00:17:16War
00:17:17II.
00:17:25In overnight air attacks on Kyiv and its surroundings, at least 17
00:17:29people were killed, while 44 were injured, confirmed the President
00:17:33of Ukraine. Russian forces fired 28 missiles
00:17:36and 115 drones, hitting warehouses, logistical
00:17:40centers, and a railway station. Zelensky again appealed to
00:17:43allies to urgently deliver additional air defense
00:17:47systems. At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced
00:17:50that over several Russian regions and the Black and Azov Seas, 475
00:17:54Ukrainian unmanned
00:17:57aerial vehicles were shot down. Drone debris caused fires in
00:18:00residential and industrial
00:18:01facilities.
00:18:07bursts, but not like today,
00:18:11well, when you couldn't even hear
00:18:14that missile, what it was, I don't know what kind of missile, you couldn't
00:18:18hear it, just an explosion, and that wave
00:18:21hit the cabin,
00:18:23luckily we managed to get out of the
00:18:26car.
00:18:34In the Moroccan city of Fnidek, hundreds of people are looking for information about
00:18:37relatives who went missing during the mass border crossing with the Spanish
00:18:41enclave of Ceuta. Out of 72,000 people who
00:18:44crossed the border, after false news on social networks, about
00:18:4870,000 were returned to Morocco. About
00:18:512,500 migrants remained in Ceuta, among whom more than 800 unaccompanied
00:18:54children. UNICEF warns that the number of unprotected
00:18:58children on the streets could be significantly higher. Brussels announces
00:19:02the strengthening of the Union's external borders, accelerated return of those who do not have
00:19:05the right to asylum, while the authorities in Madrid claim that the situation is under
00:19:09control.
00:19:13We want to go to mainland Spain to work. It's hard to find
00:19:17a job in Morocco, so we hope to find a job in Spain.
00:19:20Swimming here was very difficult. At one point I thought I was going to
00:19:24drown. Some people went missing while trying to
00:19:27swim across.
00:19:30When we arrived in Ceuta, there was no one to help us. A bottle of water
00:19:34cost 22 dollars, a baguette was 16
00:19:37dollars. We slept in the mountains. I wanted to see things for myself, but a
00:19:41Moroccan from Ceuta attacked me with a knife. After that attack, I went
00:19:45back.
00:19:53The rapid development of the El Niño weather system could push about
00:19:5750 million people into acute hunger before the end of next year,
00:20:01warns the World Food Program. This would increase
00:20:04the number of 225 million people who are already facing
00:20:08severe food insecurity in 45 countries.
00:20:12Experts estimate that this year's El Niño could be the strongest in
00:20:15the last 70 years. The most severe consequences are expected in
00:20:19Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Southern Africa,
00:20:22while drought in Asian countries could threaten
00:20:25agriculture and cause a global surge in food prices.
00:20:29Although the UN has secured 80 million dollars for early
00:20:32action measures, a lack of funding and data from the field
00:20:35hinder prevention. Experts
00:20:38appeal to exporting countries not to stop placing food on
00:20:42markets.
00:20:50US Secretary of Health Robert Kennedy Junior has called for new
00:20:53research on vaccine safety and a re-examination of previous health
00:20:57messages.
00:21:00You have been placing nearly all the blame uh on the
00:21:04COVID pandemic and the way that the US responded
00:21:07to it squarely with Dr. Fauti, but of course
00:21:11he worked for President Trump. Does President Trump also deserve some of the
00:21:14blame? Well, President Trump, as you
00:21:18recall what it to... and the lockdowns, I
00:21:22think the the thing that did the most damage to our country
00:21:26was the lockdowns, the lockdowns that shut
00:21:28down 3.5 million
00:21:31businesses in our country with no due process, no just compensation, all
00:21:35of our churches closed our schools and our
00:21:38children are still paying the price for that, and
00:21:42yet we had the worst outcome of
00:21:45any country in the world, how so we have the highest death
00:21:49rate from COVID, any nation on earth, well let me just let me just say because
00:21:52I've heard you say that before on the death rate from
00:21:55COVID, um, it's not accurate
00:21:57because
00:22:00public health experts say that there is a combination of
00:22:03factors that went into that, higher rates of chronic illnesses, which I know you
00:22:07would agree with, gaps to our healthcare system, and misinformation about
00:22:11vaccines, you just said what I was in accurate, what I said
00:22:15was accurate, we had the highest death rate from
00:22:18COVID.
00:22:20"there are other countries that had higher, but you can
00:22:23argue about why we had
00:22:26that. But um, you nobody
00:22:30can tell you, I mean, we have the as you say, we have the highest chronic
00:22:33disease in the world. But Anthony
00:22:36Fauci was mismanaging the COVID pandemic and was
00:22:39doing it under the Biden administration. President
00:22:42Trump wanted to end the lockdowns and in fact in
00:22:46Anthony's diaries, he talks
00:22:49about how President Trump is calling him every day trying to get him to
00:22:53reopen the country. Yeah, well, the lockdowns were
00:22:56done by governors. I mean, certainly Anthony Fauci and the president
00:23:00had opinions, but the lockdowns were done by governors and largely
00:23:04because, and largely because deciding, largely because they were
00:23:07hearing, they were hearing from hospitals saying that their
00:23:11ICUs were overrun and they needed some help while that was
00:23:14happening. That's just not true. You're saying it's not
00:23:18true. No, they were doing it because
00:23:21was telling them from the top, you need to lock down. There
00:23:24were ICUs that were empty all over the country, including in New York
00:23:28at the height. I, I'm asking you to go
00:23:32back to what I asked you at the beginning, which is President
00:23:36Trump, and he was the guy in charge. And he
00:23:40you tweeted back in 2024
00:23:43that he let bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci
00:23:46shut down the entire country. Um,
00:23:50"again, he, the president, was in charge. The president was trying to
00:23:53reopen the country when he left. The country
00:23:57was state, was kept closed for another year, almost a year and a half after
00:24:01that. Let's talk about how to prevent the next
00:24:05pandemic, um, because there's a lot of litigating and re-litigating that I
00:24:09don't think uh is really helpful to do with regard to
00:24:12COVID. And the question is about uh
00:24:15so-called gain of function, which uh, for people who
00:24:19aren't entirely..." clear about it, it is, it is a
00:24:22highly risky research process that
00:24:25includes manipulating virus to study how it
00:24:28behaves as it evolves. Now what scientists say is that
00:24:32although it's controversial, it's necessary to prepare
00:24:36for the next pandemic, to get ahead of it, to figure out what these
00:24:40viruses can do. Um, you want to
00:24:43end this gain of function research? Some scientists
00:24:46say, isn't it better just to put better guard rails around
00:24:50it? People have been trying to put guard
00:24:53rails around it for generations and it hasn't worked. And
00:24:57clearly COVID-19 pandemic and many other
00:25:01global pandemics that we have have come from gain of
00:25:04function research. The RSV
00:25:07epidemic that we have that is the biggest killer of kids in this country
00:25:11today came from these kind of experiments. The
00:25:15Lyme disease almost certainly came from this kind of
00:25:18research. So,
00:25:21um, and the scientists who you say are
00:25:24experts are making the argument that this is necessary for
00:25:28pandemic response, cannot point to one instance
00:25:32in history where research that came out of this kind of
00:25:35experimentation, has actually provided
00:25:39us something
00:25:41beneficial.
00:25:50And with this, we conclude today's edition of Global. In the meantime, find the latest
00:25:54news from around the world on our web portals and social
00:25:57networks. And we'll see you again
00:25:59tomorrow.
00:26:17Forbes has arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Every
00:26:21business, every success, starts with an
00:26:24idea, with information. Stay informed, follow the
00:26:27dynamic events on the business scene with the
00:26:30most famous global business.
00:27:18It's a historic day for the Galapagos Island of
00:27:21Floriana, as crates containing a long
00:27:24lost treasure are delivered to its shoreline, this
00:27:28is a absolutely new beginning, it's a huge milestone, it's the first time to...
00:27:32have returned to Floriana Island in 150 or so
00:27:36years. Each crate weighs up to 80
00:27:39kilograms and will need to be carried more than a kilometer inland
00:27:42where over the next 3 days
00:27:45158 giant land tortoises will be
00:27:48released. This first reintroduction is
00:27:52part of much larger long-term plan to rewild the
00:27:56island.
00:28:08As ecosystem engineers, tortoises are
00:28:11critical to these tropical islands, helping disperse
00:28:14seeds, trample vegetation and create
00:28:17habitat for other species.
00:28:20Floriana had, we estimate 10,000, 15,000
00:28:24giant tortoises at one point. Each island in the
00:28:28Galapagos has a distinct subspecies of tortoise.
00:28:31Floriana's was the first to be driven to
00:28:33extinction, largely due to the 19th century whaling
00:28:37industry, which used the island as a stopover and exploited the
00:28:41turtles for food. But in 2000, while conducting a
00:28:44Galapagos-wide Tortoise census, James Gibbs
00:28:48made a surprising discovery on Isabella island's Wolf
00:28:52volcano.
00:28:56the the native species there, but immediately it became
00:28:59obvious that there are some strange tortoises here, and nowhere... in
00:29:02Galapagos do you have the two types of tortoises occurring
00:29:06together? Genetic testing would reveal these strange
00:29:10tortoises were hybrids carrying both
00:29:13Wolf volcano and Floriana lineage. It was
00:29:16always sort of a dream that wow maybe the tortoises
00:29:20actually still exist in some form and maybe get get them back on
00:29:24the island. 26 years later that dream has become
00:29:28reality.
00:29:30These are the last eggs that are hatched.
00:29:33For the past 15 years, more than 700 tortoises with Floriana
00:29:37ancestry have been raised at this breeding center on Santa
00:29:40Cruz.
00:29:48days of being born in the dark box, then they move to these
00:29:52pens, which are the pens where they will stay for two to three
00:29:55years, they are quite small and we have to take great care of them
00:29:59because at that size they are still easy prey for
00:30:02predators. According to the Galapagos Conservancy,
00:30:05captive-bred tortoises need to be between five and seven years
00:30:09old for them to have a fighting chance when released in the
00:30:12wild. But back on Floriana, this
00:30:15pioneering group are all 12 to 14 years old,
00:30:19added maturity that will hopefully ensure their homecoming is a
00:30:23success. Each tortoise is also fitted with a
00:30:26GPS transmitter. With these 158 tortoises, what
00:30:30we want
00:30:32is to determine which areas they will use for
00:30:36foraging and for migration, or for the
00:30:39ecological niches of these
00:30:42species. Change won't happen overnight, and more
00:30:46releases are planned in coming years, but if the classic fable teaches
00:30:49us anything, you can bet on the tortoise. It'll take a
00:30:53long time to get back to the 1000, 1500
00:30:56tortoises. They do grow slowly, but they're very steady and precise.
