00:00:05Okay, you can full speed, 23 meters. Back
00:00:09on the beach, its long range control is being put to the
00:00:12test. Make sure your radio antennas are
00:00:15unfolded. Back, back. This is its
00:00:18final attempt to land. Okay, great, great, great. Okay, go, go
00:00:22back. Continue moving and lower your
00:00:25altitude slightly. Stop, stop,
00:00:28stop, slowly. This up. dis arm, we are safe at the
00:00:32beach, scary,
00:00:36now we are happy, great, that must be such a
00:00:39relief, high five, good job, good job, good job,
00:00:42this is the result of year of hard work,
00:00:46each flight is learning experience, it's an experiment in
00:00:49progress right, yes, yes, it's about failing, trying again and fail again
00:00:53to get it to actually work, failure is a good
00:00:57thing, failure is a good thing, um, non fatal failure a good
00:01:00thing. Here, failure is not only
00:01:03expected, but encouraged. I can share
00:01:06you this secret, it's like we have been failed
00:01:10lots and lots of times. We iterate over our designs and
00:01:14failures gives us data, gives us hints, gives us
00:01:17experience to make it better. You turn to launch flight mode. The team
00:01:21hope to one day work with first responders to see their
00:01:24ideas fully take flight, but for now
00:01:27they're happy to celebrate each. and every
00:01:31success at the end of the day we are just like a bunch
00:01:35of like university students, i've been so proud and so happy to
00:01:38work with this team and other than just being really good
00:01:42like teammates i think they are also like
00:01:46also my friend of my life
00:01:59oh my god did a some result, for six seasons, tech for
00:02:03good has brought you stories of innovation and
00:02:06inspiration from across the globe. i got a good fin on it.
00:02:10wow,
00:02:14now we're catching up with some of our former guests to see how far
00:02:18they've come like Max Lee and Joshua chan. i
00:02:22first met the engineering students in 2023 in Hong
00:02:25Kong. we founded a startup, life
00:02:28sparrow, working with the... fire services to develop
00:02:32AI enabled drones to try to spot missing
00:02:35hikers. we're going to take pictures of the asearch area and then we're going to
00:02:39see if the image is going to pick max up. where is
00:02:42max? i think that's him right there, across here. that's right
00:02:46there, you got them.
00:02:49now two years on, they're back in the
00:02:51mountains.
00:02:54this time with new tech to spot
00:02:57wildfires all in real time. Today
00:03:01the team are testing their new drone patrolling system.
00:03:04We're flying around 40 to 45 mes above ground just to clear all the trees
00:03:08here. So on the left side here we can see input sensor being turned on and
00:03:11on the right side we can have the visual cameras feed coming back to us.
00:03:15Driven by user proms the infrared camera scans the
00:03:18environment trying to spot this controlled fire
00:03:22lit by member of their team. So we picked up any
00:03:25temperature spikes or on the right side we're picking up any type of spook trails the
00:03:29server. pick it up, it will detect and will alert us. so multiple indicators are available
00:03:33to find out if there is fire. yeah, absolutely. now your
00:03:36technology has developed a lot in the last couple of years. tell me how has your tech
00:03:40evolved? the biggest difference compared to before is we just process everything
00:03:44offline, which means that we cannot react as quickly as currently we
00:03:48do, because everything is through time now. and this is good because for example for search and
00:03:51rescue or fire detection, all of these kind of things you have to do as soon as possible
00:03:55to save as much life as possible. the team is now expanding their
00:03:58operations, develop. helping AI models to help with country park
00:04:02maintenance and maritime rescue. how has being
00:04:05featured on tech for good affected your work? i'll say that it definitely helped lot on
00:04:09getting our friends and family to know actually what we're doing more. besides that, it is a
00:04:13quite rewarding experience because of the program that's been ar we do get inquiries
00:04:17and some people that would like to work with us. we were very
00:04:20happy to be actually helping the public using our technology and this is actually what we want
00:04:24to do from the start is to help more people and then try to save more lives so then we
00:04:28can create better society.
00:04:32from spotting blazes
00:04:35to battling them, tech has the power to transform the
00:04:38future of firefighting, like across the globe in
00:04:42Texas.
00:04:46This is Firebot, heat
00:04:49resistant robot designed to give first responders real-time
00:04:53information about a blaze before they enter the
00:04:56scene,
00:04:59fitted. with thermal cameras, sensors and gas
00:05:02detectors, this is 136 kilos
00:05:06of engineering
00:05:07excellence,
00:05:11these students from the university. University of Texas at Austin developed the
00:05:14tech. This thing is pretty cool in general. Today, at this
00:05:18fire safety training center, the team are prepping it for what's called
00:05:21a primary search, where it will look for
00:05:24victim inside a simulated house fire. Right now we're going to drive the
00:05:28robot in. We're going to get data back about where the fire is, how hot it is, if there's smoke, there's
00:05:32any toxic information, and then send this all back to the firefighter can then use it to assess the
00:05:36scene. Controlled remotely by team lead Citarth
00:05:39Takor. The bot searches each room using its optical camera to
00:05:43give eyes on the inside, it
00:05:46can withstand temperatures of up to 615°
00:05:50Celsius for 15 minutes. we can also use a thermal
00:05:53cameras when the smoke gets too thick.
00:05:57within minutes it finds the dummy, relaying the data
00:06:01back in real time. firefighters do primary search in almost every
00:06:05structure fire and places them incredibly life-threatening situations. firebot can
00:06:08do it and augment their rolls and so that we can support them in...
00:06:12doing it faster, safer, more efficiently.
00:06:15The team works with experts from the Round Rock Fire department to help
00:06:19test and improve their design. It's one of dozens
00:06:22across the country they've partnered with to learn from. So I see a
00:06:26great ass F4 is a Hazmat incident. Today if we roll into a
00:06:30Hazmat incident and the industry doesn't know exactly what chemicals
00:06:33leaking or where the leak is at, it takes time for us to assemble a full
00:06:37team, put on the the proper suit to get in when this could be a quick deployment to
00:06:41go in, especially if it has. has gas monitors on
00:06:43it,
00:06:47their unmanned vehicles are built here at Paradigm Robotics
00:06:51workshop in Austin. this is years of sort of like
00:06:54parts and things we've developed and concepts we've built, um,
00:06:58you can see other tracks we've designed, you can see uh
00:07:01various technologies we use. Sitharth founded the startup two
00:07:05years ago with his old college doormate Krishna
00:07:08Ram, the aim to create tech to go where
00:07:11humans can. "there's a lot of challenges going into a room that is
00:07:15burning and on fire and at those temperatures uh, that changes everything
00:07:19from your material selection to your geometry and how you design the
00:07:22parts, to how long you can last and what loads and impacts you're
00:07:26able to take. the firebot is made up of mix
00:07:30of off the shelf and specially designed tech that can be
00:07:33modified to suit the needs of the user like the addition
00:07:37of a high pressure hose
00:07:40and it's tested on all terrains." It's made
00:07:43of primarily metals on the outside, stainless, tungsten,
00:07:47titanium, inconel. There's a lot of technology on the inside that keeps the robot
00:07:50nice and cool from high temperatures, as well as keeps it explosion proof, able to
00:07:54go into flammable atmospheres without igniting
00:07:57it. I mean, that's a big thing, you got the team is mentored by
00:08:01retired assistant fire chief Richard Davis. The main thing I would look at
00:08:04is usability. Who helps spearhead one of the country's first
00:08:08fire department robotics programs in some
00:08:12cases? people look at the team because they're young and they say oh
00:08:16these guys don't know anything and that's where people I think make mistakes, you don't look
00:08:19at the team, you look at the product, look at what you're
00:08:23trying to do, I think being young does not disqualify you from being able to do
00:08:27those real-world impacts, oftentimes people feel like they are so like
00:08:30young, they're still learning, it'll take them a while in their career before they're able to do
00:08:34that, I don't really think this is the case, I think you can learn a lot, and one of the things I've
00:08:38learned is that everyone is constantly
00:08:39learning.
00:08:42Firebot is the culmination of a decade of work forced
00:08:46hearth. I started working on the first robot when I was about 13. I
00:08:50had a backyard grill that I threw some electronics in
00:08:53cover them in insulation and tested it. My mom was worried I'd burn the house
00:08:57down and from that day to sort of building robots onwards it's been a
00:09:00varied journey and I've built various robots at all the schools I've been in
00:09:04between. While it's come a long way there's still work to be
00:09:07done. The next major step is to install 3D
00:09:11mapping tech to improve. reliability, half of the battle
00:09:14is not making something that works once, but works all the time, and truth be told, we're still
00:09:18working on that, but for this young team, no challenge is too
00:09:22big, as they continue to fine tune the
00:09:25tech to one day help those on the front
00:09:29line. I think the dream is to give every firefighter, every
00:09:33police officer access to one of these robots so that they can use it
00:09:36and even safer on the job. Keep moving, keep moving, from rugged ground
00:09:40robots to those that can walk up. the side of buildings, these
00:09:44young innovators are rewriting the rulebooks of emergency
00:09:47response. now we're happy, great, helping to keep first
00:09:51responders safer,
00:09:54all while inspiring the next generation of big
00:09:58thinkers,
00:10:02keep moving, keep moving, keep moving, keep moving,
00:10:06put on the
00:10:06gas,
00:10:39Good day, dear viewers, welcome to
00:10:41the news.
00:10:45Some miners are still in the Raspotočje pit,
00:10:49coal mines in the Zenica-Doboj Canton have been given an additional
00:10:5230 days to validate the health insurance cards for their
00:10:55employees. Miners can start treatment
00:10:58with the directors of the mines,
00:11:02we agreed on what they can pay at this moment,
00:11:05they signed
00:11:07agreements.
00:11:12By the end of the show, among other things,
00:11:13watch.
00:11:19Fire near Konjic threatens houses and railway,
00:11:22deployment of helicopters of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and
00:11:25Herzegovina is expected.
00:11:29Heatwave continues, record low water level
00:11:33of the Danube. Energy crisis in Hungary and
00:11:36Romania.
00:11:40Transparency International observed 1,200 examples
00:11:44of potential abuse of public resources for promoting
00:11:47parties. Of these, 70% relate
00:11:51to the intensification of public works and what you see, namely the President.
00:11:55kindergartens and opening ceremonies of public
00:11:57works.
00:12:00Anniversary of the beginning of the closure of the Omarska camp
00:12:03was marked.
00:12:10Little good news for the miners, not enough for
00:12:13the 11 who are still in the Raspotočje pit.
00:12:17It's good for everyone in the Zenica-Doboj Canton, at least they can validate
00:12:20their health insurance cards to get
00:12:21treatment.
00:12:25After four days of workers' disobedience due to unvalidated
00:12:28health insurance cards, an agreement was reached between the Health Insurance
00:12:31Institute of the Zenica-Doboj Canton and the management of three
00:12:34mines. The mines were granted an additional 30-day period
00:12:38to validate the workers' cards. These are the Zenica, Kakanj, and
00:12:41Breza brown coal mines, which owe the institute a total of
00:12:44175 million convertible marks
00:12:47for health insurance contributions. They need
00:12:51to pay 250,000 marks by the end of the year.
00:12:55they expect to be able to recover, to be able to
00:12:58achieve maximum production in the mine, where
00:13:01I have their promise that they will start paying the full amount
00:13:05of their debts, on the other hand,
00:13:08the Breza mine is in the situation it is in, they don't even have
00:13:11production, they are trying to dig up
00:13:14their coal face, uh and they have
00:13:18some minimal inflows of funds, so
00:13:22they also expect in December that they will start production,
00:13:26where we will make a new agreement, where they will increase their
00:13:29payments. Although the approval of an additional deadline averted a major
00:13:33crisis, the union warns that the roots of the problem lie in economic
00:13:36imbalance and the selling price of coal, which does not keep pace with production
00:13:40costs. Our price
00:13:43uh of the coal we extract is
00:13:46this more expensive than the selling price and those debts naturally
00:13:50arise that way, that's the problem, meaning the more we
00:13:53extract, the more we go into debt, we do one of
00:13:56the hardest, most honorable and most honest
00:13:59jobs, I believe that
00:14:02this will never happen again, that we have found some
00:14:06solution, that we will fight together,
00:14:09so that all miners in Zenica-Doboj Canton have their
00:14:13contributions paid for health and pension.
00:14:16Although the continuation of workers' healthcare is currently ensured,
00:14:20the question of the long-term sustainability of the
00:14:23system has been raised again, at the same time. Macroeconomic analyses show
00:14:27that mining at the federation level is achieving significant revenue
00:14:30growth. Mining as a sector has achieved
00:14:33one billion and 170
00:14:37million uh convertible marks in revenue and
00:14:4088.2 million convertible marks
00:14:44in net profit. Some companies make a profit, some companies
00:14:48make a loss, so don't be surprised that, for example, the mining sector
00:14:52achieved if as aggregated as. sector
00:14:55net profit, especially because you have individual companies
00:14:59that achieved significant net, net
00:15:02profit, because this also includes
00:15:05exploitation of ores,
00:15:08metal raw materials and so on in various
00:15:12sectors. Despite relatively low productivity per
00:15:15employee, mining records the fastest growth among the analyzed
00:15:19industrial sectors, which indicates that problems in
00:15:22the functioning of individual mines require a deeper
00:15:25analysis of operations. Nataša Kerezović,

00:15:31Several fires broke out in the Konjic area near
00:15:34inhabited places, Ovčari and Živašnica.
00:15:38Due to inaccessible terrain, the engagement of
00:15:41helicopters of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina in extinguishing
00:15:44the fire is expected. Fires broke out in several locations.
00:15:47It is assumed that they were caused by the braking of a train
00:15:50passing along the railway line through that
00:15:53area. The fire threatens to spread towards nearby
00:15:56houses and railway infrastructure. Due to
00:15:59the inaccessibility of the terrain, extinguishing from the air was deemed
00:16:02necessary.
00:16:06Firefighters. in southeastern France are still extinguishing forest
00:16:10fires, a long period of extreme heat, empty
00:16:14riverbeds of large rivers, due to the low water level of the Danube,
00:16:17nuclear power plants in Hungary, Romania, and Slovenia face
00:16:21the threat of reactor shutdown. Hungary and Romania are taking
00:16:24electricity saving measures.
00:16:28Bucharest is plunged into semi-darkness. Decorative
00:16:31lighting is switched off, street lighting reduced by
00:16:34a third. In Romania, an emergency energy
00:16:37situation has been declared until the end of the month,
00:16:39it seems we have reached this point
00:16:42due to bad decisions made
00:16:45regarding the climate crisis that has been going on for decades
00:16:49and Budapest with its spectacular panoramas
00:16:53has turned off many lights, much to the regret of some
00:16:56tourists.
00:16:59I am very disappointed because I come to Budapest once in a lifetime and last night I
00:17:03climbed the hill and waited for the lights to turn on, but nothing
00:17:06happened, I was so disappointed
00:17:10and the approval of the local population. Namely, in
00:17:13Paks, Hungary's only nuclear power plant, only
00:17:16one reactor is operating, because the water level of the Danube is not sufficient to cool
00:17:20all of them. The nuclear power plant provides about 40% of electricity in
00:17:23Hungary. This is a minimal, minimal reaction to
00:17:26this whole situation, I completely approve and support
00:17:30this. I think it's a very good thing in the current
00:17:33situation. It is a very responsible decision, for
00:17:37example. One reactor is operating in
00:17:41the Romanian Cernavoda nuclear power plant. In Romania, rocks that were sticking out of the water were blown up
00:17:44to redirect the Danube towards the nuclear power plant, four loaded barges are also being sunk,
00:17:48in order to increase the water flow towards the nuclear
00:17:52power plant? Most of Europe, due to
00:17:54these long periods of extreme
00:17:58heat, has water levels far, far below
00:18:01what is needed for a longer period of time. This creates cooling problems
00:18:04not only for nuclear power plants, but also for those
00:18:08on gas, because there is not enough water to cool them, not only
00:18:12is there not enough water, but the water temperature is also higher, that
00:18:15means it is harder to cool them, that is why they
00:18:18have to take such extreme
00:18:21measures, besides the Danube, the water level of the
00:18:25Sava is also low, so the Krško nuclear power plant in Slovenia
00:18:28will reduce electricity production by 20%. Krško
00:18:31provides almost 60% of daily electricity
00:18:35consumption in Slovenia. Aleksandra Gotfra,
00:18:38N1.
00:18:41Next, we return to events in our
00:18:43country.
00:18:47An agreement was reached on further steps to resolve the status
00:18:51of dismissed workers
00:18:52of Komunalno.
00:18:58Elections are getting closer, the campaign has long since started in the old way,
00:19:02not how it should be. Therefore, the Central Election Commission punishes PSS,
00:19:05SNSD and SDP. Transparency International has noticed
00:19:09as many as 1,200 examples of potential abuse of public
00:19:12resources.
00:19:15The Central Election Commission fined three political
00:19:18parties for premature election campaigns.
00:19:21The Secure Srpska Movement with 8,500 marks,
00:19:25SNSD 6,000, SDP
00:19:274,000. But since the general elections were called,
00:19:31Transparency International sent far more complaints
00:19:35to the commission. Party gatherings in schools, public forums,
00:19:39billboards before the campaign, everything, says Srđan Traljić,
00:19:42indicated that the premature campaign had long
00:19:45since begun. HDZ in Vitez regularly reports, therefore,
00:19:49on every phase of the construction of some local road or where
00:19:53SNSD boasts about paving some gravel
00:19:56road, where SDA Bugojno boasts that
00:19:59their minister allocated one million marks for local
00:20:03roads, where the president of NPS, who has no
00:20:07public function in that sense, is not competent, visits public
00:20:10works, promotes himself, attributes credit to himself. According to
00:20:13data from Transparency International Bosnia and
00:20:16Herzegovina, approximately 1,200 examples
00:20:20of potential abuse of public resources were recorded, they state that
00:20:23the value of completed public works amounted to
00:20:26126 million marks, started
00:20:30453 million, while
00:20:3345 million marks were allocated for one-time payments
00:20:36by all levels of government, but there are also other
00:20:40activities such as music events, makeup vouchers,
00:20:43free examinations, so we
00:20:46had some public forums, especially in Travnik
00:20:49where the Democratic Action organized over nine public
00:20:52forums, meetings with citizens, where they said they convened
00:20:56citizens to hear their needs to determine
00:20:59directions of action. Srđan Traljić adds that, unlike
00:21:03previous election cycles, reports of aggressive
00:21:06premature campaigns did not bear fruit, such as
00:21:09this "Be in Motion" campaign led by
00:21:13PSS in Banja Luka, so they were not
00:21:16sanctioned, their explanation was
00:21:20that they had leased these billboards until the day
00:21:22the elections were called, but they remained standing
00:21:26during this election period, however,
00:21:29that very contract, which stated
00:21:32that it was leased until the day the elections were called, was sufficient
00:21:36evidence to dismiss the complaint. Due to all of the above, Transparency
00:21:39believes that the Central Election Commission
00:21:42has clearly raised the threshold of tolerance, because despite
00:21:46numerous complaints they sent, the commission did
00:21:48not consider many of them to have elements of violation
00:21:52of the election law. Dragica Pejaković,

00:21:58Layoffs at the Komunalno company in Mostar are still in
00:22:02the public spotlight. The dismissed workers were supposed to have
00:22:05individual meetings with the mayor, but
00:22:08most of them did not respond to the call. However, a
00:22:11collective meeting was held with the company's management. It was agreed that
00:22:15the legal representatives of the workers and the company would try to
00:22:18agree. on a statement, which should
00:22:22facilitate the supervisory board's decision-making.
00:22:24After several days of bickering and
00:22:27exchange of messages via social networks,
00:22:31the mayor of Mostar and the president of the city council sat down today with the dismissed
00:22:34workers and the management of the public company Komunalno. Although both sides
00:22:38remain convinced that they acted correctly, their positions were brought
00:22:41closer after the meeting, and everything, as they claim, is moving towards the return of workers to their
00:22:45workplaces. At this meeting it was agreed
00:22:49that the legal
00:22:51representative of the workers, together with
00:22:55the legal representative of the company who advises
00:22:58or represents the management, will
00:23:01draw up a statement, perhaps
00:23:04an explanation in which the workers will
00:23:08unequivocally uh express their
00:23:11position regarding work obligations,
00:23:15the ongoing procedure and what they have done so far,
00:23:18to tell all of us whether they
00:23:22really refused a work
00:23:24obligation or had some other intention.
00:23:28The mayor, on the other hand, claims that the workers were under certain
00:23:31pressure all the time, first when they refused work assignments, and now, as he says, even when
00:23:35they need to present their view of the controversial case. It saddens me that
00:23:38most of them, not all, but most of them,
00:23:42refused a one-on-one meeting,
00:23:45uh, as I see it from this collective meeting, it was some kind of
00:23:48common stance. Someone's who
00:23:51suggested to them that they don't need to talk to
00:23:54the mayor alone, but that it should be in a
00:23:58group so that perhaps they would be stronger or whatever
00:24:01they are trying, I don't know, but anyway, I still agreed to this
00:24:05collective meeting again, wanting to show that it is very important to me
00:24:09that uh we return the city to some normal functioning
00:24:13as the most important conclusion of the meeting, highlighting the common readiness to
00:24:16enable workers to return to work. I again appeal.
00:24:20that politics stay as far away as possible from the public company, then I am sure we will
00:24:23succeed, if some things happen
00:24:27again, prompting from the side, do it this way, do it that way, I'm afraid
00:24:30we will get entangled again and just go in circles. The union states that
00:24:34such a meeting should have been held much earlier and that the lack
00:24:37of timely communication with the company's management is one of the key
00:24:40problems. One positive thing, a positive
00:24:44thing, some views have been harmonized, the mayor
00:24:47and the president of the city council had the opportunity to... hear both
00:24:51the workers and their views and their
00:24:54problems they face, this
00:24:57is a difficult period for them too, difficult for those who
00:25:01lost their jobs, difficult for all workers of the public company Komunalno
00:25:05who are working now. According to the mayor, the solution will
00:25:08be sought by legal representatives, their judgment on the whole case will be given by the supervisory board.
00:25:12company. Workers remain optimistic and hope that the process
00:25:15will end with their return to work. Đanana Kaminić

00:25:20in
00:25:23the area of the former Omarska camp, today marked
00:25:27the 34th anniversary of the beginning of the disbandment of one of
00:25:30the most notorious camps in northwestern Bosnia and
00:25:33Herzegovina. The commemoration gathered former detainees,
00:25:37victims' families, representatives of associations and all citizens
00:25:40who wished to pay tribute to innocent victims. Through this
00:25:44camp, according to the data of the association of detainees, more than
00:25:473,300 Bosniak and Croat detainees passed, of whom,
00:25:51according to data, 700 were killed. Some of the detainees were
00:25:55killed on the Korićani cliffs, on Hrastova glavica, large
00:25:58execution sites in western Bosnia and Herzegovina, dozens of camps.
00:26:02and succumbed to wounds received during
00:26:04learning.
00:26:09I carry that trauma with me and I want to
00:26:12carry it. When I started where I was in Holland, when
00:26:16I started forgetting things, I went to a therapist to teach
00:26:20me how to deal with it. Not to forget, not to heal me, but it can't heal
00:26:23me. I said: "Help me not to forget it. The
00:26:27biggest, second trauma from the camp is this
00:26:31that I in..." I was speaking, that was some kind of defensive
00:26:34system of ours, an automatism,
00:26:37uh, I could remember
00:26:40the face of every child in the family, every one of
00:26:43the neighbors, the only face of my own daughter I couldn't, I
00:26:47feel emotions, emotional when I say that, our
00:26:50dissatisfaction is reflected in the fact that, uh, the direct
00:26:54perpetrators of these crimes have not yet been prosecuted, I mean
00:26:57the former members of the crisis staff of the
00:27:00Serbian municipality of Prijedor, the then Serbian municipality of Prijedor who, "look, today live and
00:27:04live here in Prijedor as free, respected citizens who have benefits based
00:27:07on what they did in that period, while their victims, look, today are fighting and
00:27:11marking this place to build a monument to the murdered children,
00:27:14for some status right to get here, we unfortunately still
00:27:18cannot get it, we
00:27:21gather every year on August 6th at this place which we do not
00:27:24consider just a camp, but a place that symbolizes to humanity
00:27:28a place where human suffering reached
00:27:32the limits of endurance for every individual
00:27:35story of those who went through this camp, unfortunately
00:27:38many of them are not, it is a place where we must come, we must
00:27:42remind, not just for the past, to take revenge on the past itself,
00:27:45but it is also a warning for
00:27:47the future,
00:27:50it is an obligation, but somehow, look, it's a human
00:27:53satisfaction to be here and talk to people who have gone through
00:27:56the worst suffering, they are strong and brave enough to help
00:28:00with their stories in... detecting perpetrators
00:28:03and masterminds, but with messages that are important for
00:28:07the future, not only of Bosnia and Herzegovina, today when we look at images from
00:28:10Gaza, when we look at images from Sudan, from Ukraine, other places, it is very important
00:28:14to remind of what happened in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:28:16The
00:28:19Regulatory Agency for Communications of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:28:22officially informed five associations of genocide victims that
00:28:26it has initiated a procedure to verify and investigate the allegations from their
00:28:29joint complaint against RTS. The complaint was
00:28:33filed due to a controversial report broadcast in the central
00:28:36news program Dnevnik 2 on July 31st,
00:28:40the associations state that the report contained serious
00:28:43insults and defamatory allegations against surviving
00:28:47victims and mothers of Srebrenica with shameful insinuations about
00:28:50financial malversations and alleged enrichment
00:28:53at the expense of tragedy through statements about a money factory,
00:28:57the RAC in its official response confirmed that it will
00:29:00ex officio investigate the allegations from the received
00:29:04complaint.
00:29:09The Minister of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina Zukan Helez, commander of NATO
00:29:12Headquarters Sarajevo, Brigadier General James Fowler, visited
00:29:16the defense industry companies in our country. They visited
00:29:20Binas in Bugojno, BNT in Novi Travnik, and Pretis in
00:29:23Vogošća. General Fowler said that he saw firsthand
00:29:26the capabilities and capacities of the industry and that
00:29:30production is carried out according to Western. NATO
00:29:32standards, he said he was most impressed by the people
00:29:36who work in these companies, the mission of NATO Headquarters in Sarajevo and
00:29:40EUFOR supervise production in the defense industry of Bosnia and
00:29:43Herzegovina.
00:29:48I think it was very important for me to come out here and see it first hand, uh, that
00:29:51the capability and
00:29:54the uh capacity uh which is in the defense
00:29:58industry in Bosnia, and it's uh good to
00:30:01see that um... products being made are uh two Western
00:30:05and NATO standards and uh they they are
00:30:09um targeted on
00:30:11um capabilities such as the 155 that
00:30:14are important right now.
00:30:18What fascinates me is the constant increase
00:30:22in the number of employees, the constant increase in productivity and
00:30:25income, specifically compared to last year
00:30:29these two months. "June and July have
00:30:332 million more in revenue compared to the same period last
00:30:36year, also, uh, we were convinced
00:30:39of the different production assortments of the company
00:30:43B&T in Novi Travnik, they also
00:30:46increased their revenue by 50%.
