00:00:00We're back.
00:00:48such as lighting, air
00:00:51Good morning, dear viewers, it's still mostly sunny across Bosnia and
00:00:54Herzegovina, which is still an indication that we are under
00:00:58the influence of an anticyclone. In the rest of the day, therefore,
00:01:02sunny weather conditions will dominate, only locally
00:01:05in the afternoon, predominantly in the area of Herzegovina,
00:01:08the western part of Bosnia, even in the central part
00:01:11there may be shorter instabilities, showers that
00:01:14may be accompanied by thunderstorm activity and even temporarily increased wind.
00:01:18In most regions, however, we expect that it will remain mostly dry and
00:01:22sunny with mostly
00:01:25the only scenario, it's one of light wind, which will result in high temperatures today
00:01:28up to 40 in the Herzegovinian area,
00:01:32we expect that the warmest today will be in the wider area
00:01:35of the city of Mostar. As for the rest of the week, we expect that
00:01:39we are still in a heat wave, although we also expect that it will gradually
00:01:42be a little less hot towards the end
00:01:46of the week, the new upcoming week would be
00:01:49significantly more unstable, as currently indicated by prognostic
00:01:52materials, towards its end it would bring a noticeable
00:01:56refreshment. Information about the weather was brought to you by
00:02:12your ice cream destination, Tropik and Crvena
00:02:16Jabuka. Sarajevo is living
00:02:19film again. This year too, N1 television will broadcast live from an open
00:02:23studio every night, covering the 32nd Sarajevo Film
00:02:26Festival. On the square in front of the National Theater, we talk to
00:02:30the biggest film stars and authors, we bring you details from
00:02:33the red carpet, film recommendations, as well as reviews.
00:02:36N1 live from the heart of Sarajevo, where film
00:02:39magic begins, Sarajevo Film Festival on
00:02:43N1.
00:02:44In the general elections
00:02:49in 2026, you will exercise
00:02:52your right to vote using specific
00:02:55election technologies. Upon arrival at
00:02:58the polling station, you are required to identify yourself by presenting
00:03:02a valid ID card or driver's license or
00:03:06passport of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After
00:03:08electronic reading of data, place the index finger of your right
00:03:12hand flat on the device's sensor for biometric authentication.
00:03:16Upon successfully completed identification authentication, the device
00:03:20prints a confirmation which you sign. Along with
00:03:23the ballots, you take the candidate list and
00:03:26a protective folder and go to the polling booth.
00:03:30The ballots have a new look and are marked
00:03:33exclusively with a special marker that is located in the polling
00:03:37booth. Be sure to read the instructions.
00:03:40On the ballots on which the names of individual
00:03:43candidates are listed, completely fill in the circle in front of the name of only one
00:03:46candidate. On the left side of the ballot
00:03:50are the names of political
00:03:52militarization of subjects, on the right side of the ballot are columns with
00:03:55serial numbers of candidates.
00:03:58It is mandatory to completely fill in the circle in front of
00:04:02the name of only one political subject on the left side of the ballot,
00:04:05or it is mandatory to completely fill in the circle
00:04:09in front of the name of only one political subject on the left side
00:04:12of the ballot and completely fill in the circle in front of
00:04:16one, two or a maximum of three serial numbers of candidates on
00:04:19the right side of the ballot. The corresponding serial numbers
00:04:22of candidates with their first and last names are contained in
00:04:25the candidate list. After
00:04:29voting, place the ballots unfolded
00:04:33flat in the protective folder. In the scanner,
00:04:36insert one ballot at a time, face down.
00:04:40The protective folder and the candidate list
00:04:43must be returned to a member of the polling committee.
00:05:25With Dr. Fouti appearing before a senate committee last week, we've been hearing the phrase
00:05:29gain of function research again. What does it actually
00:05:32mean? Basically, it's where genetic modifications are made an
00:05:35organism to change what that organism can do. This has
00:05:39many positive uses, but gain of function can also be another way to disc the
00:05:42beginning of biological warfare, such as when you modify
00:05:46virus, and as if we don't have enough to worry about already, the spector
00:05:50of such warfare still haunts the world. think back several years ago to the
00:05:54beginning of the COVID outbreak, pretty scary stuff, required all
00:05:57hands on deck around the world, and yet COVID's
00:06:00lethality was not even 1%. now imagine
00:06:04an organism designed to kill at something like 100% and to
00:06:08be easily transmissible, it would make nuclear war look like child's
00:06:12play. Sure, buildings would still be standing, but the people inside would all be
00:06:16dead. Though biological warfare is a war crime and is covered by the
00:06:191972 biological weapons convention, there's no guarantee that some
00:06:23lab out there isn't planning or engaged in it now,
00:06:27and even if no one tries to commit biological warfare, there's that
00:06:30not too unlikely scenario of another lab leak, a phrase
00:06:34associated with the COVID outbreak as well, so we need to think about the
00:06:38possibilities and to figure out how to prevent the worst, someone who's
00:06:41already done a lot of that thinking is investigative journalist Andy
00:06:45Jacobson, her specialty is war and weapons, not to mention
00:06:48government secrecy. In 2024 she came out with
00:06:52nuclear war, a scenario, and now she has
00:06:55new best seller, it is called biological war, a
00:06:58scenario. Annie joins me now. Annie, your your book is not
00:07:02science fiction, you kind of reverse engineered it from
00:07:05Pentagon documents and the people who plan this sort of thing,
00:07:09walk me through how fast it moves. In other words, It
00:07:12starts with lab leak in Siberia in your
00:07:15scenario, how many days until total anarchy in the
00:07:19US?
00:07:22Well, I take the reader from outbreak, as you say, to
00:07:25anarchy in six days, because that is
00:07:29precisely what would happen if you
00:07:32have pathogen that has been genetically
00:07:35modified to be hypervarulent, like kill
00:07:38lot of people, COVID killed 1% or less.
00:07:42there are pathogens, the one I use in my book, pneumonic plague
00:07:46has 100% case fatality rate. If
00:07:50you also modify that to be, human to
00:07:53human transmissible, fancy word for airborne,
00:07:57and and it is also modified to
00:08:00defeat medical countermeasures, vaccines,
00:08:04antibiotics. Now you have nightmare
00:08:07scenario at scale that is happening
00:08:10so fast, there is just absolutely no way that the
00:08:14government can respond,
00:08:16so in the book you alternate between laying out the data, the
00:08:19history, the science, and then you paint the picture of this
00:08:23scenario, and there are any number of instances as I read the book where I found myself
00:08:27saying, wait a minute, is that actually true? so here's a detail that I couldn't
00:08:31shake, you have the soviets working to
00:08:34engineer this plague so that the infected would feel more
00:08:38euphoric so that they would go out and they would socialize, is that
00:08:41true?
00:08:44It is true, and it's a detail that was given to me by one of the
00:08:47world's subject matter experts on plague,
00:08:51Dr. Henry Hein. He worked at Fort Detrick at the
00:08:54USAMRIID facility, that's the Defense Department's only
00:08:58BSL4, that's a maximum containment
00:09:01facility in America, and it
00:09:05told me that when they were working to develop, try and
00:09:08develop medical counter measures for plague um in the early
00:09:112000s, they you in the late 1990s is when they
00:09:15had learned the Russian scientists in their illegal
00:09:19program were inserting the gene
00:09:23for euphoria into the front end of the
00:09:26disease and you might say, well why on earth would anyone do that?
00:09:29well, if you feel terribly ill because you have
00:09:33plague, you're going to go home, get under the
00:09:36covers and not infect lot of people, but if you're
00:09:40feeling euphoria you're going to naturally want to go out
00:09:44and socialize, you might even wind up in a disco, which
00:09:47is where the scenario I write
00:09:49begins. Okay, and this then creates the
00:09:53damned if you do, damned if you don't, scenario relative to gain a
00:09:57function research, because if we think that some of our
00:10:00adversaries are engaged in this sort of experimentation, the
00:10:04only way, you correct me if I'm wrong, that we can be ready is
00:10:08if we too are involved in gain of function research,
00:10:11so what should we be
00:10:13doing?
00:10:16I mean, you've hit the nail on the head with the Catch-22
00:10:19often of war gaming, of actual warfare,
00:10:22which is sword and shield. attack, offense,
00:10:25defense.
00:10:29And so gain of function does exactly that. It's it's
00:10:32looking at pathogens and trying to give them more
00:10:36virulence, make them airborne, defeat
00:10:40medical countermeasures under the premise that you're
00:10:44actually doing defensive work, so that if
00:10:47someone attacks you with a genetically modified
00:10:50weapon, you have some sense of how
00:10:53to perhaps make a count. measure, but of course we know from
00:10:57COVID that this creates an extremely dangerous
00:11:00situation whereby the
00:11:03threat, the risk, I think most people would tell
00:11:07you is so much greater than any potential
00:11:10reward. You deliberately
00:11:13anchored so many plot points to something that has actually
00:11:17happened in COVID, the the the cruise ship, the wet market
00:11:20explanation, even an aircraft carrier that's taken out a commission, why, why
00:11:24was it? important to you that none of this be invented and that you were able to
00:11:28peg it to real events?
00:11:32For the same reason I put my sources right up
00:11:35front, I list who I spoke to. do this in nuclear
00:11:39war scenario and do it in biological war scenario. I want readers
00:11:42to understand that these are scenarios that are gamed out
00:11:46by the Pentagon. It's not
00:11:50them. And so you get the sense of this could
00:11:53actually happen. And people are thinking about this. I'm not
00:11:57writing to terrify people, the point is really not
00:12:00panic as much as it is pressure, because once
00:12:04the regular folks, we the people understand
00:12:08these are major threats, they exist, the government is
00:12:12trying to prepare for them and in essence knows there is nothing they can
00:12:16do, then we can all have a sort of more
00:12:19informed say in what we think about something, like for
00:12:22example, gain a function.
00:12:39Germany, protests against armament.
00:12:42Gibraltar, lifting controls after more than a hundred
00:12:45years. Mallorca, more than parties and
00:12:48beaches.
00:13:00Good day to you. Friedrich Merz has many wishes and
00:13:04goals. With the latter, as he admits himself, it is not going
00:13:08as he wishes. One of the goals of the German Chancellor, on which
00:13:12he is resolutely working, is to make the Bundeswehr
00:13:15the strongest conventional army in
00:13:18Europe. And that is why his government, the Chancellor promises,
00:13:21will provide all the financial resources needed
00:13:25for that, we are talking about billions of euros which are mostly
00:13:29lacking in other areas, of course, the military industry is rubbing its hands with satisfaction and
00:13:32is preparing for a historical investment program.
00:13:36The past- burdened Rheinmetall
00:13:39concern, thus in the future in its production facility in Berlin,
00:13:42instead of civil automotive components, plans to
00:13:46produce military technology, but not
00:13:49everyone supports
00:13:51that. It's a sunny afternoon in Berlin.
00:13:55A procession of protesters passes through the city streets,
00:13:59they believe that the decision to convert the car parts factory into
00:14:02the production of casings for artillery ammunition will encourage military
00:14:06conflicts and take human
00:14:08lives.
00:14:15factory and also against the whole
00:14:17the German German uh government that's taking place at the moment.
00:14:20Rheinmetall, founded in 1889,
00:14:24is one of the oldest German arms manufacturers.
00:14:27The company supplied Hitler's war machine, and this legacy
00:14:31still negatively affects the public perception of Rheinmetall
00:14:34today. Today, this concern wants to be a leader in the development
00:14:38of military technology. Its tanks and other
00:14:42systems are used in Ukraine while demand across NATO
00:14:45rapidly grows.
00:14:49into defense innovation, but what we're learning about war is you still
00:14:52need armor and you need lots of it.
00:14:55and you need to replace it if it's damaged or destroyed. um, Rain
00:14:58Matatal had previously um made
00:15:01relatively small amounts and batches necessary for nations. now they're realizing
00:15:05they have to ramp up production and be able to sustain large amounts of
00:15:09production for what we see now as an era of
00:15:11longer. Some warn that opening
00:15:14a military industry factory in the capital in case of
00:15:18conflict could make Berlin a potential target.
00:15:21Many protesters are also outraged by the fact that, as they claim,
00:15:25Germany supplies Israel with weapons produced by Rheinmetall.
00:15:28On the other hand, switching from car parts production
00:15:32to armament parts production could bring economic benefits.
00:15:35Protests like this show that
00:16:12many want Germany to stay away from wars and to
00:16:15limit the influence of the powerful military industry. However, they
00:16:19do not provide an answer to the question of how Germany can simultaneously
00:16:23contribute to the defense of the European Union.
00:16:26Politicians celebrate it as
00:16:31a historic agreement, and numerous citizens and tourists welcome it
00:16:34with relief. After more than a hundred years,
00:16:38border controls have been removed between the British overseas
00:16:41territory of Gibraltar and Spain. No more
00:16:44long waits at the border, no wire, but there are still
00:16:48other negative consequences. Here's what
00:16:51it's about.
00:16:53Gibraltar and Spain share
00:16:55a turbulent history. After much tension, the British overseas
00:16:59territory is now approaching Spain. July 15th
00:17:02should enter history textbooks. One of
00:17:06approximately 15,000 Spanish travelers traveling to Gibraltar
00:17:09is Alfredo Valencia. This 56-year-old
00:17:13crosses the border every morning. The opening is a special
00:17:17moment for him.
00:17:19Well, it's a mental relief in
00:17:21principle. The being half an hour,
00:17:2445 minutes, up to three or four hours in line to get out, the
00:17:27truth is that it's not just a desperation, but it also
00:17:30means a waste of time because those of us who leave, leave
00:17:34work, we need to. Alfredo Valencia took all this as
00:17:39a necessary evil because in Gibraltar he earns more than on
00:17:43the Spanish side.
00:17:45In any case, Gibraltar is flourishing. Every square meter
00:17:49is being built and according to the Prime Minister, this trend will continue.
00:17:53Millions of tourists visit
00:18:13Gibraltar every year, partly due to the more favorable price of alcohol that
00:18:16existed previously. However, the price of opening the border is
00:18:20higher taxes, which the EU and Great Britain
00:18:24agreed upon.
00:18:26Gibraltar is also known for numerous service providers, such as
00:18:29online betting shops. The opening of the border would also be interesting for
00:18:33expansion plans. The Spanish border region could
00:18:49not imagine anything better, more jobs, more tax
00:18:53revenue.
00:18:54If that special economic zone were established, we are currently
00:19:03in the European Union, Gibraltar is not, and we know that there are
00:19:06companies that are based in Gibraltar that want to continue
00:19:10maintaining activity in Gibraltar, but also.
00:19:13So, the queues at the border are now
00:19:14también.
00:19:20a thing of the past, however in the short term, not everything will be better just
00:19:23because border controls
00:19:26disappear. Do you know what Agenda
00:19:302030 is? These are sustainable development goals
00:19:33for which their promoters like to say that by fulfilling them,
00:19:37humanity is saved. Billions have already been spent on
00:19:41this project, individuals working towards these goals have enjoyed
00:19:45well-paid jobs, but we are not only
00:19:49far from their fulfillment, but in some
00:19:52areas, regression has even been recorded. But
00:19:56here is an example that speaks of small steps:
00:19:59on an island known for mass tourism, Spanish
00:20:03Mallorca, they are currently testing an environmentally friendly energy
00:20:06alternative, it is about green hydrogen which is key
00:20:10in achieving energy goals by
00:20:142030. Fun, that's what Mallorca
00:20:17is known for, just like its beaches. But in
00:20:21the interior of the island, a completely different atmosphere prevails than on
00:20:24the famous debauched coast. Here, next to
00:20:27a cement factory, something is being created from which many expect
00:20:31a lot. Hydrogen. Plans for this project have existed since
00:20:342009. But it was only last year that the works really
00:20:38gained momentum. The plant has a power of 2.5
00:20:42megawatts. Its objective is the development of the
00:20:45first hydrogen valley in Southern Europe.
00:20:49The key is that this is not just about hydrogen production, but about
00:20:53how it can be used on the island and what benefits
00:20:57it brings. The first example is city buses in
00:21:00Palma. Five buses have been using hydrogen
00:21:03as fuel for more than a year. However, due to
00:21:06other technical problems, these buses often do not
00:21:09operate. Therefore, it is not surprising that the city transport company
00:21:13has in the meantime ordered new buses from other
00:21:16manufacturers. Another example is a hotel with more than 200
00:21:19beds. The hotel company Iberostar
00:21:22recently commissioned its first fuel cell. It
00:21:26produces not only electricity, but also heat. This
00:21:30is useful even in mid-summer helps
00:21:33well with everything you see in the room,
00:21:38conditioning, etc. In a percentage
00:21:41of approximately 20% at the level of
00:21:44the entire hotel. The cell is a cogeneration cell,
00:21:47so it produces heat that helps
00:21:50us preheat the water, the hot water that comes out of
00:21:53the taps in the rooms. As much as 70% of the hotel's
00:21:57thermal energy needs are covered by the fuel
00:22:01cell. It is important for Iberostar to gain
00:22:04experience that it can later apply in its hotels
00:22:07on other continents.
00:22:11All these destinations are very different, the
00:22:11conditions, the infrastructures are very
00:22:15different. Not everywhere, not in all
00:22:19places can we have electricity as
00:22:22cheap as perhaps we can have it in Spain. The third example
00:22:26is the port in Palma. Here, a fuel cell is currently being
00:22:29connected. It should primarily provide electricity for this passenger
00:22:33terminal, and later for ferries while they are docked in
00:22:36the port. Available 24 hours, it
00:22:40is necessary to increase it.
00:22:42For example, it is currently consuming
00:22:46the most green hydrogen produced in Mallorca,
00:22:59the gas network. If we compare it with fossil
00:23:02fuels, hydrogen right now is already on par
00:23:06in terms of fuel costs. On
00:23:10the Spanish mainland, billions of euros are currently being invested in significantly
00:23:13larger hydrogen production projects,
00:23:17which will also utilize the experience gained in
00:23:20Mallorca. How to make building materials for the future from waste,
00:23:24which at the same time
00:23:27contains no harmful substances, is non-flammable, resistant to mold and
00:23:30rot. This is precisely what young German entrepreneur
00:23:34Sotoka Pell is working on in the Baltic Sea. He has
00:23:38decided to turn a natural material that accumulates on beaches
00:23:41into a material for thermal insulation. It is about
00:23:45what you would most like to avoid in summer while walking on the beach or swimming in
00:23:48the sea. Seagrass provides shelter and
00:23:52food for marine organisms.
00:23:54However, when waves throw it ashore,
00:23:57it becomes waste, as is the case on the beach of the island of Poel
00:24:00in the Baltic Sea. But it is precisely this waste that represents an ideal
00:24:04raw material for building houses, says young entrepreneur Vincent
00:24:08Marnic. When cleaned and dried, seagrass becomes
00:24:11a valuable material.
00:24:15because at the moment, the biomass that we want to get rid of
00:24:17is still actually...
00:24:45Vincent Marnic received permission to set up facilities for the production of this
00:24:48ecological
00:24:52insulation material at the municipal landfill.
00:24:56First, sand and seagrass are separated in a special drum,
00:25:00then the seagrass is dried in specially
00:25:03constructed boxes using solar energy. After processing,
00:25:07only 5% of pure seagrass remains from the total mass,
00:25:10everything else is sand. For now,
00:25:13this material is used exclusively in private construction. Testing
00:25:16procedures are underway to approve seagrass
00:25:20as an insulation material throughout Europe.
00:25:23Many are interested in Marnic's
00:25:27process. For now, he cannot produce sufficient
00:25:30quantities. So far, he has installed insulation material in 25
00:25:33houses. Among them is the house of Vilja Marten who decided
00:25:36on material from the sea also because it does not contain harmful
00:25:40substances. He uses it to insulate floors.
00:25:44we also care a bit about disposal, because we are renovating an old
00:25:47building, you know about things you have to dispose of.
00:25:55it contains a lot of salt, is not flammable, and is only
00:25:58slightly more expensive than other insulation materials.
00:26:01Vincent Marnic wants
00:26:11to further improve his production process, he hopes that
00:26:14soon he will be able to process seagrass from other municipalities
00:26:18along the Baltic coast, so he could meet the great
00:26:21demand because every year the sea washes tens of
00:26:25thousands of tons of seagrass ashore.
00:26:29Since we're already talking about the sea, I wish you all happy summer
00:26:32holidays. In the meantime, I recommend our internet portal to your
00:28:56Can you tell what you're looking at? These are close-up
00:28:59images of a fertilized human egg implanting itself into the
00:29:03lining of the uterus. And amazingly, this isn't a
00:29:07passive process. The human embryo can be seen actively
00:29:10pulling itself into the uterine lining. This discovery
00:29:14is changing our understanding of fertility and conception
00:29:18with potentially huge benefits for
00:29:20IVF. More on that and other
00:29:24groundbreaking medical research, now on
00:29:26DW's science show, Tomorrow
00:29:29Today.
00:29:33At this fertility clinic in Munich, doctors are hopeful a new
00:29:36breakthrough could improve one of IVF's biggest
00:29:39challenges, successful embryo
00:29:41implantation.
00:29:46has been working in the field for 30 years. IVF has come a long
00:29:49way, he says, but there are still no
00:29:51guarantees.
00:29:54We perform the procedure under very short anesthetic. It takes
00:29:58just 5 to 10 minutes. Afterwards, patients wake up and ideally.
00:30:33It very much depends on the woman's age. Between 30 and 35, we see the
00:30:37highest success rates, around 40%. As
00:30:40women approach 40 and especially beyond 40, those numbers fall
00:30:43significantly. For women over 42, the success rates are
00:30:47unfortunately very low, usually below
00:30:495%.
00:30:53Doctors do everything they can to improve the odds.
00:30:56Fertilized eggs are monitored and analyzed over 5 days with
00:31:00cameras.
