00:01:25Good evening, dear viewers, welcome to N1's daily news, these are the events
00:01:29of the day.
00:01:33The fire near Konjic is spreading further, firefighters are exhausted, and international
00:01:37assistance has been requested. A new fire near Mostar, residents are helping
00:01:41firefighters defend their homes. Nevesinje, Stolac,
00:01:44and Jablanica
00:01:45are also battling fires.
00:01:50In the news, we also
00:01:50report:
00:01:56Fire is raging in the region, on the island of Brač, a large fire, dozens of firefighters. On
00:02:00the ground in Serbia, more than 30 fires are active, the most complex
00:02:03situation is in Deliblatska Peščara. In Montenegro, houses in the area of
00:02:07Herceg
00:02:08Novi have been defended.
00:02:12While the industrial sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina is collapsing, thousands of workers
00:02:15are losing their jobs, and the cost of living is relentlessly
00:02:18rising.
00:02:21We lack many of these things. Starting with some
00:02:24quality groceries. People are, of course,
00:02:27forced to buy lower quality groceries.
00:02:33The number of fatalities in the strong earthquake in Colombia has risen to 265,
00:02:37496 people are missing.
00:02:39nestalo.
00:02:43The weather on Friday is sunny and warm, temperatures in the south will
00:02:47reach up to
00:02:4737°.
00:02:55For the eighth day, forest fires are burning in the areas of Kanjina,
00:02:58Živašnice, Brđani, and Džep. Džep's mountains in the Konjic area. The fires are
00:03:02still not under control and have a tendency to spread, which is
00:03:05further exacerbated by high temperatures and wind. The terrain is mostly
00:03:09inaccessible for firefighting, which significantly
00:03:12hinders efforts to prevent further spread of the fire. Since the early
00:03:15morning, members of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina have been assisting in extinguishing
00:03:19the fire, and the fight against fires is continuously being waged on
00:03:23the ground. The city of Konjic has engaged all available resources and
00:03:26capacities for extinguishing. The entire staff, professional
00:03:30firefighting units of Konjic, residents, and hunters are on the ground. The situation on the ground
00:03:34is further complicated by extremely steep, inaccessible terrain, characteristic of
00:03:38the Konjic area, which prevents access for heavy
00:03:41fire trucks. In the Neum area, a fire is still active
00:03:44in inaccessible terrain above the villages of Glumina and Lastva,
00:03:48where grass and low vegetation are burning. In the municipality of Čitluk,
00:03:51two fires are active. Fires have been recorded in the
00:03:55areas of Jablanica, Mostar, and
00:03:57Stolac.
00:04:00"The current situation at the fire site, the fire is still
00:04:03active, mm, we have mm,
00:04:06so
00:04:08the fire is spreading, temperatures are high on the ground, strong wind is contributing
00:04:12to the spread, mm, today our priority focus is
00:04:16to try to prevent the spread of the fire in the direction from
00:04:19Dževska Planina towards the village of Brđani, which is spreading, this
00:04:23and our focus is to try to localize that
00:04:27direction, and this morning we had helicopter operations..." of the forces of Bosnia and
00:04:30Herzegovina, it operated from 7:10
00:04:34minutes to 9 hours and 20
00:04:37minutes, performing five
00:04:38overflights.
00:04:42And the fire that broke out around noon in the Raštani area near Mostar
00:04:45is currently under control, and members of the professional firefighting
00:04:49brigade Mostar are working on its containment
00:04:52and extinguishment. It was emphasized that the buildings
00:04:55are protected, that nothing else is threatened. After the
00:05:00why is it increasing? In addition to the fire is extinguished, steps will be taken to make the railway operational again so that trains can
00:05:03run again. All available forces of the professional firefighting brigade
00:05:07Mostar were engaged on the ground.
00:05:09Mostar.
00:05:14The fire is currently being rehabilitated, objects
00:05:18are protected, nothing else is threatened, we are currently working on
00:05:21extinguishing it and we will open the railway
00:05:24so that trains can pass, that is currently being
00:05:28done.
00:05:30A large open space fire broke out overnight
00:05:34on the island of Brač in the Pučišća area,
00:05:37firefighters have been battling the blaze intensively since the early morning hours.
00:05:40As many as 106 firefighters with
00:05:4431 fire trucks are participating in the extinguishing efforts, with
00:05:47additional support provided by four Canadair planes. The fire is still not under control and
00:05:51has covered a large area. The fire line is located above houses that
00:05:55are currently not directly threatened. However, during the night
00:05:58the situation was serious, firefighters managed to defend
00:06:01residential buildings. Due to the fire, it was necessary
00:06:04to disconnect part of the electrical network to enable
00:06:07safer intervention on the ground. Additional forces were sent towards
00:06:11Brač, enduring. From Split. Firefighters from Split,
00:06:14Trogir, Slatina, Makarska, and Imotski arrived on the island,
00:06:18joining the teams on the ground. The scale of the fire and the scenes from
00:06:21the Pučišća area show how
00:06:24serious the situation is while firefighters continue to battle the fire
00:06:27and strive to prevent its further spread.
00:06:31spread.
00:06:35In Serbia, 31 fires are currently active, announced the Republic Emergency
00:06:38Situations Headquarters after today's extraordinary meeting.
00:06:42In recent days, they say, about 900 open-air fires
00:06:45have been recorded, which have been brought under control and extinguished.
00:06:49The most complex situation is in Deliblatska Peščara, on
00:06:52Mount Stolovi near Kraljevo, as well as around Bujanovac and
00:06:55Bojnik. At the headquarters meeting, it was also said that due to high
00:06:58temperatures, drought and unfavorable weather conditions, all
00:07:01competent services and inspections are on the ground in a state of heightened
00:07:05readiness, monitoring the situation and assessing
00:07:09risks. risks.
00:07:13"In Montenegro, fires are currently active in the areas of
00:07:16Nikšić, Bar, Herceg Novi, and Kolašin. In Bar, the fire is active
00:07:20on Mount Lisinj, in the area of Herceg Novi. All available vehicles and
00:07:24personnel are on the ground, the fire was close to houses and several people were
00:07:28preventively evacuated.
00:07:30evacuated.
00:07:34Last night we had a very turbulent night, because
00:07:37dozens of houses were threatened, fortunately
00:07:41no house was..." was not damaged, nor was it affected by the fire, fortunately no
00:07:45member of the protection and rescue service
00:07:48was injured, nor were residents, tourists or police, because last night there were
00:07:52members of various institutions on the ground,
00:07:55and the municipality took care that all those citizens who were evacuated overnight
00:07:59were taken care of and that they were provided with all necessary
00:08:02assistance.
00:08:04assistance.
00:08:07Firefighters in Spain continued to battle
00:08:10forest fires that have affected almost 37,000 hectares
00:08:13across the country. The largest fire in southwestern
00:08:17Spain has covered more than 31
00:08:20hectares and spread towards the province of Seville, which led to the
00:08:23preventive evacuation of the population. In northeastern
00:08:26Spain, in the province of Huesca, a separate forest
00:08:30fire burned 5,705 hectares
00:08:34of land. Authorities state that one person was
00:08:37detained on suspicion of causing the fire in
00:08:40Huesca.
00:08:44Stay with N1 Television's daily news, you can
00:08:47watch the continuation.
00:08:51More and more motorcycles and scooters on BH streets, accidents are
00:08:55becoming more frequent, is the problem irresponsible driving or a
00:08:58system that lacks adequate
00:09:00infrastructure.
00:09:06After the opening of bankruptcy proceedings in Nova Željezara Zenica, the Government of the Federation of Bosnia
00:09:10and Herzegovina will take all measures within its jurisdiction
00:09:13to ensure material social protection for workers and their families,
00:09:17according to the official government statement. They add that they will
00:09:20simultaneously continue to work on preserving opportunities for restarting
00:09:23production and returning as many workers as possible to their
00:09:26jobs. The Federal Employment Bureau and the
00:09:30Zenica-Doboj Canton Employment Service will be asked to
00:09:34immediately engage in preparing programs
00:09:37and securing funds for legally prescribed
00:09:41compensation for workers who lose
00:09:45their jobs. We will seek a legally, financially
00:09:48and technically sustainable model for restarting production. Any
00:09:52potential support for a new production plan must be
00:09:56tied to preserving and reopening jobs, stated the
00:09:59federal
00:10:01government.
00:10:06The entire industrial system of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which for decades
00:10:09represented the backbone of economic sovereignty. Bosnia and Herzegovina is now
00:10:13on its knees. Some industrial branches such as textile, chemical, and
00:10:17metal have been completely shut down, thousands of workers have lost their jobs,
00:10:21and the position of those who are still working is not commendable either.
00:10:25and skyrocketing living costs which economists predict will
00:10:28continue to rise.
00:10:31Energoinvest, the Zenica Mining and Metallurgical Combine, Mostar
00:10:34Aluminum, were long the backbone of heavy industry. Today, they are mostly reduced to
00:10:38finishing work. In the last two years alone, two
00:10:41coking plants and most of the brown coal mines within Elektroprivreda Bosnia and
00:10:45Herzegovina have been shut down. After bankruptcy proceedings were opened for the Nova
00:10:49Ljubija mine near Prijedor, the municipal court in Zenica officially opened
00:10:53bankruptcy proceedings over the assets of the company Nova Željeza Zenica, thus
00:10:57ending the legal and political battle that has lasted nine months. A joint
00:11:01statement from the management and the union was issued earlier. All
00:11:04workers who are technologically redundant and are entitled to severance
00:11:08pay will be compensated through payment in accordance with the agreed
00:11:11modality of agreement between the management and the union. All
00:11:15details will be communicated internally to the workers by
00:11:18the plant director and union representatives. While
00:11:22thousands of workers lose their jobs, the position of those
00:11:25who are still working is extremely difficult. Job insecurity, frequent violations of basic
00:11:29workers' rights, low wages that do not keep up with rising costs, are
00:11:32at the forefront of the problems that burden them. The Federation of Independent
00:11:35Trade Unions of Bosnia and Herzegovina calculated for
00:11:38June a trade union consumer basket that amounted to almost
00:11:413,300 convertible marks, and we remind you,
00:11:44the average salary in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is around
00:11:481,700 marks, while the minimum is just
00:11:51over a thousand. when it will work intensively, what is above
00:11:55all else is to create adequate legal regulations, through
00:11:58those legal regulations
00:12:01placing workers in a much better position,
00:12:05in terms of material and financial aspects, we
00:12:08have several projects that, unfortunately, are in a serious phase, but are
00:12:12not yet completed, so we will start from a labor law
00:12:16federation which is a fairly high-quality text when it comes to
00:12:19protecting workers' rights, a working phase is also the general collective
00:12:23agreement, our interlocutor adds, but from the season of annual leave and generally
00:12:26the pre-election year, these legal solutions somehow never see the light of
00:12:30day, and costs continue to rise, economists' forecasts
00:12:34are not good even until the end of the year, even the central bank revised
00:12:38its inflation rate estimate from some 3.2
00:12:41at the beginning of the year to over 6.1%,
00:12:45the reasons for that are multiple, some
00:12:48are domestic, some are foreign, of course, the foreign ones
00:12:51dominate, we cannot influence that much as a society, or rather,
00:12:55even the decision-makers, or
00:12:58creators of economic policies cannot influence that, especially due to the fact that Bosnia and
00:13:02Herzegovina does not have an autonomous monetary policy. The International
00:13:06Monetary Fund, Vidović adds, also problematized the explosive
00:13:09fiscal policy, i.e., the rapid increase in government spending that leads to
00:13:12macroeconomic instability. Finally,
00:13:15mother nature does not make it easier either, the heatwave and drought have further
00:13:19worsened the already difficult agricultural situation, which will
00:13:22reflect on food prices, especially meat. Plants are
00:13:26struggling, it is felt in livestock farming,
00:13:28livestock experiences heat strokes, milk production
00:13:32and everything else is reduced, so
00:13:36the situation, I
00:13:39can freely say, is almost
00:13:43critical. Corn, as one of
00:13:45the most widespread
00:13:47agricultural crops, from which the most is expected in
00:13:51livestock farming, along with soybeans, is in an extremely difficult
00:13:55situation. In addition to such a difficult situation in livestock farming
00:13:59due to imports and incomprehensibly very low
00:14:02prices offered on our meat
00:14:05markets, it is simply not
00:14:08clear to us how that meat arrived
00:14:12at such very low prices, where
00:14:14our farmers and breeders simply cannot be
00:14:18competitive at all, and the authorities are not doing anything to
00:14:21ease the burden on farmers due to the lack of
00:14:25reliance on our own production, which currently covers less than 20%
00:14:29of the needs of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We rely on
00:14:31imports, which gives importers a boost to dictate their
00:14:35prices. Tatjana Drljić,
00:14:37N1.
00:14:41Around 50 driving instructors from Tuzla Canton protested again today
00:14:44in Tuzla, demanding that the Cantonal Ministry of Education
00:14:48and Science immediately withdraw the decision on the introduction of new software in
00:14:51the process of taking driving tests. Representatives
00:14:55of driving schools claim that the imposition of digitalization in this
00:14:58form is contrary to valid legal regulations. Due to this
00:15:01long-standing conflict between driving schools and the ministry,
00:15:05only the candidates suffer. For two months now, the taking of driving
00:15:09tests in Tuzla Canton has been in complete blockade because driving schools
00:15:12refuse to implement the new system, which means candidates
00:15:15cannot appear before the examination commission. Instructors
00:15:18say they will not give up their demands and will continue with
00:15:22protests until the relevant ministry overturns
00:15:25the decision on the mandatory introduction of software and initiates
00:15:29dialogue to find a legally based
00:15:32solution.
00:15:36We "are not asking for anything
00:15:39illegal. Let the minister
00:15:42show, let him say that decision,
00:15:46by which law that decision is bound, why is that law not in
00:15:49Sarajevo, why is that law not in Zenica, why is that law not in
00:15:53Republika Srpska, why is only in Tuzla
00:15:56Canton one decision made under the law and
00:15:59it is mandatory, look, it is mandatory, so
00:16:03many people are losing their jobs, that is truly concerning."
00:16:09Well, I personally have 19 to
00:16:1320 applications submitted already. For two months, no one
00:16:16has come out for regulations, first aid, or
00:16:20driving. In fact, of course, we are suffering, meaning
00:16:23we have no work, we are working, we cannot work,
00:16:26our work is being prevented,
00:16:28that's it.
00:16:31Motorcyclists and electric scooter riders are increasingly present on
00:16:35BH streets, but with this rise, with
00:16:38their rise, there are more and more safety warnings, while
00:16:42citizens warn of irresponsible driving, experts
00:16:45see the problem in infrastructure that is not adapted to all road users.
00:16:49Who is responsible for safety, drivers,
00:16:52scooter riders, or the
00:16:54system itself?
00:16:57in a serious traffic accident, a motorcyclist was killed,
00:17:00a motorcyclist was injured, a car and a motorcycle collided,
00:17:04a driver hit a minor on a scooter, a car
00:17:07and an electric scooter collided. Such headlines
00:17:10are an everyday occurrence in Bosnia and Herzegovina's
00:17:13media. On the streets, however, various participants meet daily,
00:17:16from pedestrians and car drivers to
00:17:20motorcyclists, whose speed and driving style often cause
00:17:23fear and disapproval among citizens. I live in Mojmilo, there's this
00:17:27lane, right, which is for cars and for these
00:17:31scooters, however, they often
00:17:34speed, even though they have a bell, right, "so they can
00:17:38ring it to warn pedestrians, they often
00:17:41do that, but I firmly stick to the
00:17:45rules, I'm never in their lane. Have you ever been
00:17:49in danger perhaps because of it? Well, yes,
00:17:51sometimes, I mean, I don't hear him and he's right behind me and
00:17:55I get scared, simply,
00:17:59it's terrible, he has a lane, but he
00:18:02goes
00:18:04on the pedestrian crossing." "What should be changed,
00:18:08the law, punishments? And
00:18:12motorcyclists, well, that's a special story, from traffic light to
00:18:15traffic light at 150 km/h, that's a classic
00:18:18irritation, he goes from red to green and waits for red at
00:18:21150, I say I don't know what it is for you, that's full, if you have to
00:18:25go, okay, fine, but those 50m, that's just not clear to me
00:18:28at all, but still, when I see them in sneakers and t-shirts, no
00:18:32equipment, that's a whole other story, statistics." show that
00:18:36the consequences of traffic accidents are not small. In Bosnia and
00:18:40Herzegovina, during 2025,
00:18:428,124 traffic accidents with
00:18:45injuries were recorded, a total of
00:18:4811,536 people were injured,
00:18:50while 288 people
00:18:54lost their lives. According to data provided by Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:18:57to the World Health Organization, motorcyclists make up
00:19:019% of all fatalities in traffic. But we are most
00:19:04bothered by motor vehicles because they are the biggest source of insecurity
00:19:08in this country and we have the highest number of fatalities due to
00:19:11motor vehicles, we have the highest pollution in cities
00:19:14due to motor vehicles, come on people, let's
00:19:18invest just 10% of what we invest
00:19:21in motor vehicles in the development of non-motorized
00:19:24traffic and infrastructure planning, you will see that we will
00:19:28have positive safety and environmental effects.
00:19:30improvements. Data shows that among the most common
00:19:34causes of accidents are inappropriate speed, violations of rules, and
00:19:38driving under the influence of alcohol. However, conscientious
00:19:42participants believe that everyone bears responsibility for safety on
00:19:45the streets. I always try to drive on routes designated for driving,
00:19:49I follow on the app, this red zone, where
00:19:53I shouldn't drive, I adhere to that, that's it, if you just
00:19:56follow, if you look where you need to drive, I
00:19:59don't know, on the promenade, for example, I think there are no
00:20:02problems at all. However, even when rules are respected,
00:20:06the question arises how well the infrastructure is adapted
00:20:10to all road users. We are talking
00:20:13about infrastructure that is poor, that is
00:20:16undeveloped, that lacks space for pedestrians,
00:20:20motorcyclists and cyclists. This implies
00:20:23conflicts between motor vehicles and all
00:20:27of these, which happens in urban areas and
00:20:30suburban areas. The increase in the number of motor vehicles, yes, the increase
00:20:34in the number of motor vehicles, but
00:20:37technology we invest in
00:20:40traffic, some people believe that a
00:20:43so-called speed bump is a solution and
00:20:46a camera for all safety. Penalties and cameras can affect
00:20:50driver behavior, but for safer streets, more is needed, from
00:20:53more responsible participants to infrastructure adapted
00:20:57to everyone. Nataša Kerezović,

00:21:04The director of the Srebrenica Memorial Center, Emir Suljagić, filed
00:21:08a criminal complaint with the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina against the Minister of Finance and Treasury
00:21:11of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Srđan Amidžić, due to the existence of reasonable
00:21:14suspicion that he committed the criminal offense of non-execution of decisions of the High
00:21:18Representative. In the complaint, it states that Minister Amidžić, as
00:21:21a responsible state official and member of the Council of Ministers, consciously and
00:21:25continuously failed to fulfill obligations arising from
00:21:28the decision of the High Representative of September 20,
00:21:312023, by which the Law on Amendments
00:21:35to the Law on the Srebrenica Memorial Center, Potočari,
00:21:38Memorial and Cemetery for the Victims of Genocide from 1995
00:21:42was adopted. With the mentioned amendments, the mandate of the Memorial
00:21:46Center was significantly expanded in the areas of genocide research and
00:21:49education, while new Article 15A established a Department for
00:21:52Genocide Research and Genocide Education within
00:21:56the Center. Members of the department are entitled to salary or compensation in accordance
00:21:59with the law, and the Ministry of Finance and Treasury of Bosnia and Herzegovina, under
00:22:03the leadership of Minister Amidžić, according to the allegations in the complaint, failed to take
00:22:07the necessary steps to ensure the organizational structure and
00:22:10financial
00:22:11resources.
00:22:15The representative in the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:22:18Šemsudin Mehmedović, held a press conference today, where he spoke about
00:22:22the imbalance of employed Bosniaks in state institutions compared
00:22:25to other constituent peoples. Mehmedović
00:22:29spoke about the proposed amendments to the law on administration, which would address this
00:22:32problem.
00:22:36I proposed that if an institution employs less than
00:22:4010% of the legally established number for each constituent nation
00:22:44and others, then priority should be given when filling vacant
00:22:48positions to candidates who belong to a nation that is not
00:22:51sufficiently represented in the employment structure of each administrative
00:22:54body. My proposal in urgent
00:22:57parliamentary procedure was expeditiously rejected by the votes of representatives
00:23:01from Republika Srpska and HDZ.
00:23:05We can ask ourselves why these two
00:23:08political partners.
00:23:10Before that, already in 2023, I asked the administrative inspector
00:23:14to instruct eight specific
00:23:17institutions to eliminate the imbalance
00:23:20of members of constituent nations, both Croats and Serbs and
00:23:24Bosniaks, but also others, but in vain, the inspectorate obviously exists
00:23:28to fulfill the wishes of HDZ Minister
00:23:31of Justice Mr. Bunoza.
00:23:34Bunoza.
00:23:37Stay with the news, we'll bring you this story soon.
00:23:39this story too.
00:23:43In Gradačac, the 53rd Plum Fair opened with about 150
00:23:47exhibitors from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region. A memorandum was signed
00:23:51for the launch of the Plum
00:23:52Road project.
00:23:58Before that, news from the region. Exactly one year ago, several incidents and clashes
00:24:01occurred in Serbia between anti-government protesters and government supporters
00:24:04at the "Serbia, Wake Up" protests.
00:24:08The fiercest clashes were recorded in Novi Sad when several people were
00:24:11injured, and supporters of the ruling party, protected by
00:24:14police and gendarmerie cordons,
00:24:17fired pyrotechnics at citizens who came to
00:24:20protest
00:24:22with impunity.
00:24:25Incensed by the violence of masked men who had attacked citizens of Vrbas with
00:24:29stones and fireworks the day before,
00:24:33Novi Sad residents gathered near the student
00:24:35campus. Then, although masked, well-known
00:24:38faces appeared. And citizens rushed
00:24:42precisely towards those who threw
00:24:45flares.
00:24:50was then showered with a true rain of fireworks, but at
00:24:54first the police did not react,
00:24:56a cordon,
00:24:59police in full riot gear formed,
00:25:01only now, not even when the
00:25:04cordon was formed, nothing
00:25:08changed, the atmosphere is very tense,
00:25:11pyrotechnic devices, i.e., firecrackers
00:25:14and fireworks, are flying everywhere, it's pretty bizarre
00:25:17to watch, so there's a cordon
00:25:20behind whose backs serious criminal
00:25:23acts are permanently committed, and in front of them are
00:25:27citizens whom they see getting injured, and
00:25:30they absolutely do not react. The protesters then headed to the premises
00:25:34of the Serbian Progressive Party on Liberation
00:25:38Boulevard.
00:25:38Police also formed a
00:25:43cordon there, but again, they did not
00:25:46she didn't bat an eyelid when the projectiles flew
00:25:50from
00:25:50the party offices.
00:25:57The president of the Serbian Progressive Party, Miloš,
00:26:01was in these rooms all
00:26:12the time. A member of the Cobra unit who was protecting
00:26:16the former prime minister pulled out a pistol, and only
00:26:20a few moments later the officially best
00:26:23photograph of last year in Serbia, chosen by
00:26:27Pres foto Serbia, was taken. At one point, the man dropped
00:26:30the pistol, pulled out the ballistic
00:26:33blanket. "Everyone is running away, turning
00:26:36around, and I'm just telling myself, you
00:26:40have to catch this, this is very important, this is what you need, and
00:26:43I caught it,
00:26:46and after about 15, 20 minutes I calmed down
00:26:50on the pavement and started crying because in the madness
00:26:54to the zebra
00:26:55crossing,
00:26:59I simply wasn't aware, I was in mortal danger." "Only the progressives
00:27:03were in danger," the president claimed then,
00:27:07publicly boasting that he tried to influence the
00:27:10judiciary, their attack followed everywhere,
00:27:14nowhere did anyone
00:27:17did tonight is multiple attempted murders and
00:27:21we will wait to see what the prosecution will say,
00:27:25both the first, second and third,
00:27:28I even tried to get one of the prosecutors to see if they were doing anything, but
00:27:32they are probably... splashing around in the sea and sleeping, it's too late for them. The very
00:27:35next day, a video of the arrested demonstrators
00:27:39kneeling in a Novi Sad gym
00:27:41was published. Media close to the government
00:27:44gloated, the prosecution soon qualified
00:27:47the incident as an attempted aggravated murder of a member
00:27:51of the Cobras, exactly the qualification the president spoke of
00:27:54that very evening. There is still no indictment, which is very
00:27:58strange that after a year for an act that is... charged,
00:28:02it is an attempt, aggravated attempted murder,
00:28:06which is now being called into question by new expert opinions, because
00:28:09it was determined that those injuries are not life-threatening
00:28:13after all, so the very qualification of the act will be questionable. They did not
00:28:16find the means of execution among those
00:28:19people they arrested, so obviously the prosecution has
00:28:23a problem collecting evidence, and for attacks with pyrotechnic devices on
00:28:27citizens, despite numerous videos and other
00:28:29evidence, so far no one has been arrested or held accountable.

00:28:40The death toll from the powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake
00:28:44on the Richter scale, which hit Colombia on Monday, rose to
00:28:47265. Around 3,500 people were injured, and
00:28:50496 people are officially listed as missing. At the same time,
00:28:54on an unofficial internet platform for missing persons, almost
00:28:574,200 people were listed. Rescuers continue to search
00:29:01the rubble under pressure. In a race against time and the critical 72-hour
00:29:04deadline after which the chances of finding survivors
00:29:08significantly
00:29:09decrease.
00:29:14Well, our main function is to
00:29:17wait for the news from the personnel searching the rubble for
00:29:21patients. Once they inform
00:29:23us that they have found patients, that there is life,
00:29:27we enter, extract the patient,
00:29:30and provide the first medical attention. We stabilize
00:29:33them and then transfer them in ambulances. We have all the medical
00:29:37equipment ready and
00:29:38coordinated for that action.
00:29:41We are trying to get people out while we have
00:29:45everything ready here to help them. We have
00:29:49medicines, bandages, anything to give first
00:29:52aid to people who need it. We are also helping
00:29:55people so that they don't get heatstroke because the temperature
00:29:59is also very high.
00:30:03Japan issued a strong protest regarding Vladimir Putin's visit
00:30:07to the Kuril Islands, which was the first time a Russian president
00:30:10had visited the disputed archipelago. Russian state
00:30:13media reported that Putin visited Iturup, known
00:30:16in Japan as Etorofu, one of the four islands in the Kuril
00:30:20chain, which are claimed by both Russia and Japan.
00:30:23Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi
00:30:27stated that these islands are inalienable Japanese territory,
00:30:30both historically and under international law, and that the government
00:30:34of Japan strongly protests this
00:30:36visit.
00:30:41The Northern Territories are an integral part of Japan's territory, both
00:30:44historically and under international law. This latest visit to Etorofu Island
00:30:48by the current Russian president is contrary to Japan's consistent
00:30:51stance on the Northern Territories. In addition, it
00:30:55offends the feelings of the Japanese people and is completely
00:30:58unacceptable.
