00:03:19focus of ours is on Radical protests by Zenica miners, they spent the night in the pit demanding wages from the authorities.
00:03:23This is only possible in this country while many
00:03:26are on the beaches by the sea. At the same time, Herzegovina
00:03:30is burning, fires that with firefighters extinguish the locals
00:03:33and this year international aid
00:03:36is requested. Point seven
00:03:39begins.
00:03:46Days of protests by Zenica lignite miners, exhausted
00:03:50and health-threatened comrades suspended
00:03:52spending the night in the pits.
00:03:56They were promised payment of outstanding wages, but without
00:03:59an exact date for
00:04:01that payment.
00:04:03To leave the pit, the miners of the Zenica lignite mine asked only
00:04:07one thing from the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina: to announce the date by 3 p.m.
00:04:11when they would be paid their May, June, and
00:04:15soon July salaries. But instead of a date, they received assurances, which is why
00:04:18three more members of the Zenica Mine Union Committee
00:04:22joined them. I, two more from the committee, and we will then
00:04:26unconditionally join and support these people and stay with them
00:04:29until a
00:04:31"The Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, enters solution to this agony is found. Agreed obligations
00:04:34to the workers of the Zenica Lignite Mine will be fulfilled. Funds
00:04:38for the payment of outstanding wages are secured, they will be in their accounts
00:04:41after the World Bank loan becomes operational,
00:04:45says the relevant minister, calling on the miners to leave the pit
00:04:48for their own safety. The government has secured a World Bank loan
00:04:52in the amount of 160 million KM, and we expect the effectiveness
00:04:56of this loan in the coming days, so everything that was
00:05:00planned will be paid to the miners,
00:05:02they know that very well, we have communicated in the past
00:05:06few days, of course, advising not to expose
00:05:10themselves to such dangers and a kind
00:05:12of strike that happens in methane rooms because it is, in
00:05:16our opinion, very, very dangerous, so everything that has been promised,
00:05:20it will be done, for us, a year ago,
00:05:23every month they promised, every month later you can check,
00:05:27meaning the salary was never on the 25th as
00:05:30regulated, it was always the 26th, 27th, then the 5th, then the
00:05:3310th, then a month later, the miners always had that patience
00:05:37and waited, "it will be, so stop, we are not producing," maybe
00:05:41people should come first. to give to the comrades who maintain that energy
00:05:45system, but they must think of us. For a week now,
00:05:48more precisely six nights, the miners of the Zenica Lignite
00:05:52Mine have been in the Raspotočje pit as a sign
00:05:55of protest due to unpaid wages. At first there were
00:05:58eighteen of them, but due to health problems, some had to
00:06:01give up. In the meantime, the president of the Union,
00:06:05Nedžad Duraković, joined them. The health condition of the remaining ones is not
00:06:08great either, but in their struggle underground, together with colleagues. who
00:06:12join them persevere, our
00:06:15dignity, unfortunately, has been trampled by the ruling
00:06:18society, but here I will say my own,
00:06:22my personal dignity, my colleagues will not give it up at any cost, because
00:06:25I defended this country when I was 18.5 years old, you can take everything from me,
00:06:29you can tell me everything to my face, as our people would say,
00:06:33you can hit me, but not my
00:06:36dignity, solidarity also comes from colleagues
00:06:39from the old pit, so support means we will not leave them
00:06:43at any cost, meaning we are with our colleagues despite all pressures to
00:06:46the end, meaning there is no more retreat, they
00:06:50took everything from us, but they will never take our
00:06:53dignity. We remind you that the Zenica Lignite Mine is in the process
00:06:57of closing for the sake of a just energy transition, but that
00:07:00process, as the relevant minister says, is not at all simple either from a technical or
00:07:04financial point of view, which is why the workers of this mine are suffering
00:07:07again, so the World Bank loan, for the most part, the minister assures, will be directed
00:07:11to solving. problems that accompany this process, among other things,
00:07:15accumulated unpaid miner contributions. In the
00:07:18meantime, twelve people are preparing for another
00:07:21sleepless night underground, while waiting for the day when what they
00:07:25earned will be paid into their accounts to secure their
00:07:28existence for themselves and their families. Tatjana
00:07:31Drljić, N1, Zenica.
00:07:3413 miners of the Zenica Lignite Mine ended
00:07:38their eight-day protest and came out of the Raspotočje pit
00:07:42where they spent their seventh night. They protested due to
00:07:45unpaid wages, they received the last one for April, and they are owed
00:07:49salaries for May and June, while the deadline for July's
00:07:53payment is August 25th. The Federal Ministry of Energy,
00:07:56Industry, and Mining announced that funds for salaries
00:08:00are secured and will be paid once the funds
00:08:03become operational. The miners, however, asked for
00:08:07an exact payment date. One of the demands was the verification of
00:08:10health booklets, which miners can temporarily verify again
00:08:14from Friday until September 6th. During
00:08:17the protest, mandatory work of dewatering and
00:08:21degasification was carried out in the mine.
00:08:24From the level of the managing board this morning,
00:08:27we reacted with a reaction, we called
00:08:31our fellow workers
00:08:34from the Zenica Mine to transform from the role of a
00:08:37martyr to the role of a
00:08:40commander. We know very well why
00:08:44we said that, we have room to make such a step
00:08:48forward, and through the response
00:08:51of the Federal Ministry of Energy,
00:08:54Mining, and Industry, which was delivered to the union
00:08:57organization yesterday during the day, and
00:09:00whether that will be done, today during
00:09:04the day, the workers of the Zenica
00:09:06lignite mine in Zenica themselves will tell us,
00:09:09based on this morning's visit. of the director,
00:09:13and primarily, primarily I say because of the health condition
00:09:16of these comrades, it's no small thing to spend seven days in
00:09:20the pit, we simply decided at this moment on the only
00:09:23rational solution, that is, at this moment we are leaving the mine
00:09:27facility, purely, I say, preventively for health reasons, and I say, also
00:09:30the situation on the ground that indicates that the
00:09:33realization of this payment is in an accelerated course
00:09:37and we expect it very
00:09:39soon, but I want to state immediately... The miners of Zenica
00:09:43will not wait long for the realization
00:09:46of these promises, I couldn't allow the situation
00:09:50for these six or seven days anymore.
00:09:53There were situations where people fainted, what do I know,
00:09:56mainly, we simply decided for primary health reasons
00:09:59to simply leave the mine
00:10:00facility.
00:10:08While the industrial sector in Bosnia and
00:10:10Herzegovina collapses.
00:10:12Workers are losing their jobs, and the cost of living
00:10:16relentlessly rises. Energoinvest, the Zenica mining
00:10:19and metallurgy complex, Mostar Aluminum, were long the backbone of heavy
00:10:23industry, today mostly... reduced to refining jobs. In the last two
00:10:27years alone, two coking plants and most of the lignite mines
00:10:31within Elektroprivreda Bosnia and Herzegovina have been shut down. After the
00:10:34bankruptcy proceedings opened for the Nova Ljubija mine near Prijedor, the municipal court in
00:10:38Zenica yesterday officially opened bankruptcy proceedings over the assets
00:10:42of the company Nova Željezara Zenica. This concluded the legal and political battle
00:10:46that lasted nine months. From the management and union, a joint statement
00:10:50followed earlier. All workers who are technologically redundant
00:10:53and have the right to... severance pay will be honored through
00:10:57payment in accordance with the agreed modality of agreement between
00:11:01management and the union. All details will be internally
00:11:03communicated to the workers by the plant director and
00:11:07union representatives. While thousands of workers are losing their jobs,
00:11:11the position of those who are still working is extremely difficult. Job
00:11:14insecurity, frequent violations of basic workers' rights, low wages that do not keep pace with
00:11:18rising costs, are at the forefront of the problems that burden them.
00:11:22The Confederation of Independent Trade Unions of Bosnia and Herzegovina calculated
00:11:25for the month of June the trade union consumer basket which amounted to
00:11:29almost 3,300 convertible
00:11:32marks, and we remind you, the average salary in the Federation of Bosnia and
00:11:35Herzegovina is about 1,700 marks,
00:11:39while the minimum is just over a thousand. Unions will
00:11:42work intensively, what is most important is to create
00:11:46adequate legal regulations, through these legal
00:11:48regulations placing workers in
00:11:52a much better position, and thus in a material
00:11:55and financial sense, and we have several projects that
00:11:59are unfortunately in a serious phase but are not yet completed, so we will start
00:12:03with a labor law for the Federation which is a fairly
00:12:06high-quality text when it comes to protecting workers' rights. The general collective
00:12:10agreement is also in the working phase, our interlocutor adds, but due to
00:12:14the vacation season and generally the pre-election year, these legal
00:12:17solutions are not seeing the light of day, and costs continue to
00:12:21rise. Economists' forecasts are not good even for the rest of the year.
00:12:25The central bank even revised its estimate of the
00:12:28inflation rate from some 3.2% at the beginning of the year to over
00:12:326.1%, the reasons behind this are
00:12:35multiple, some are from within the country, some are from
00:12:38abroad, those from abroad of course dominate, we
00:12:42cannot influence this much as a society, that is, even the
00:12:45decision-makers, or rather the creators of economic policies, cannot influence this,
00:12:49especially given the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina does not have an autonomous
00:12:53monetary policy. The International Monetary Fund, Vidović adds,
00:12:56also problematized the explosive fiscal policy, that is, the sharp
00:12:59increase in public spending that leads to macroeconomic
00:13:03instability. In the end, Mother Nature does not make it easier.
00:13:06The heatwave and drought further worsened the already difficult
00:13:09agricultural situation, which will be reflected in food prices,
00:13:12especially meat. Plants are struggling, it is felt in
00:13:16livestock, livestock is experiencing heat
00:13:19strokes, milk production has decreased
00:13:23and everything else. So the situation is,
00:13:26I can freely say, almost critical. Corn, as
00:13:30one of the most widespread
00:13:33arable crops from which the most is expected
00:13:36in livestock, together with soybeans, is in an extremely
00:13:40difficult situation, in addition to such a difficult situation
00:13:43in livestock due to imports and incomprehensibly
00:13:46very low prices offered to our meat
00:13:50markets, we simply
00:13:54don't understand how that meat
00:13:57arrived at such incredibly low prices,
00:14:01where our farmers and breeders simply cannot
00:14:04be competitive at all, and the authorities are not doing anything
00:14:08to help them, according to the farmers. In the absence of relying on domestic
00:14:11production, which currently does not cover even 20% of the needs of the citizens of Bosnia
00:14:15and Herzegovina, we rely on imports, which gives importers a boost
00:14:19to dictate their prices. Tatjana Drljić.

00:14:31Herzegovina is burning, active fires near Konjic,
00:14:35Mostar and Neum, fire on inaccessible
00:14:38terrain, a state of natural disaster has been declared,
00:14:42international aid has been requested. Nevesinje, Stolac and
00:14:45Jablanica are also fighting fires.
00:14:49A large forest fire has been raging for days on inaccessible and
00:14:52steep terrain near the settlements Kanjina, Živašnica, Brđani and
00:14:56Džepi. Under the force of the wind, the fire spreads in several directions. During
00:15:00the past night, two stables and one abandoned house burned down
00:15:04in the hamlet of Golubić. Due to the extremely difficult and alarming
00:15:07situation on the ground, a state of natural disaster has been declared.
00:15:10This means the fire is constantly spreading, all our available
00:15:14resources and capacities are on the ground. The fire
00:15:17is spreading towards the place Brđani and towards Džepska Planina,
00:15:20meaning in the direction towards the municipality of Hadžići. In the course
00:15:24of the past night, the city staff of the civil protection of the city
00:15:27of Konjic convened, a state of natural disaster was declared in the area of the city of Konjic
00:15:31caused by large forest fires and international
00:15:34aid was requested for extinguishing forest fires
00:15:38from the air. Locals fearfully monitor the movement of the fire towards their
00:15:41homes and properties, and the fight against the fiery element is ongoing
00:15:45without interruption. The forest is burning,
00:15:49meaning it's burning, we have a cottage up there and my son
00:15:53went up there, there are people who have
00:15:56livestock, meaning they have sheep
00:16:00and they are all up there now, meaning it went out to the
00:16:03hill, now the grass is dry...
00:16:07Everything will burn here, it was really too
00:16:11critical down there in the lower settlement, but it was really a big
00:16:14fire, the firefighters fought for 24 hours for sure a few
00:16:18days, so it was much more critical down there than here, but
00:16:22again, we defended this settlement here too, fire trucks pass every
00:16:26day, and the smoke was visible three or four days ago, going
00:16:29in this direction up there towards this hill, the mountain is burning, they were
00:16:33on duty, on duty on the meadow up there, the path
00:16:37goes. The forest is everything and they were just
00:16:40waiting for the flames, there is nothing else, the
00:16:43road is inaccessible, that's where the power line was built when the power line
00:16:47was working, there were two or three households, now there is
00:16:51no one there, it's settled, and now it's all burning, the hillside,
00:16:54and I don't know how to explain it to you, you can't walk
00:16:58there, cars can barely get there. From the early morning hours,
00:17:02firefighters from Konjic, with the help of colleagues from Hadžići and Tarčin, and
00:17:05locals and hunters, are fighting a human battle against the fiery element. From
00:17:09the air, air-tractors and helicopters are also helping them.
00:17:12We have firefighters from the Canton of Sarajevo, from Hadžići and Tarčin,
00:17:16they are helping us with ground forces
00:17:20and extinguishing the fire from the ground, and we have directed
00:17:23all resources and capacities to prevent the spread of the fire towards
00:17:27the place Brđani and towards Džepska Planina.
00:17:31The most difficult battles with the fire are fought during the night when the flames
00:17:34threaten property and houses. Because of this, fire
00:17:38teams are still in full readiness, deployed along threatened settlements,
00:17:41to be ready for every new onslaught of fire. Nataša Kerezović
00:17:45N1. Members of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and
00:17:49Herzegovina are helping to extinguish the fire, and the fight against
00:17:52fires is constantly being waged on the ground. The city of Konjic has involved
00:17:56all available resources and capacities in extinguishing. On the ground are
00:17:59the entire personnel, professional fire brigades of Konjic,
00:18:02locals and hunters. The situation on the ground is further complicated
00:18:06by the extremely steep and accessible terrain, characteristic of the Konjic
00:18:09area, which prevents access for heavy fire
00:18:13vehicles. In the Neum area, the fire is still active on
00:18:16inaccessible terrain above the villages of Glumina and Lastva, where
00:18:19grass and low vegetation are burning. In the municipality of Čitluk, two
00:18:23fires are active, fires have been recorded in the area
00:18:27of Jablanica, Mostar and
00:18:28Stolac.
00:18:32Currently, the situation at the fire site is that the fire is still active.
00:18:35Mm, we have mm...
00:18:37so the fire is spreading, there are
00:18:41high temperatures on the ground, strong wind is favoring the spread,
00:18:45mm, today our focus is to prioritize trying to
00:18:48prevent the spread of the fire in the direction from Dževska planina towards
00:18:51the place Brđani which is spreading, this
00:18:56trying to localize that direction, and this morning there was an action
00:19:00by a helicopter of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it operated from
00:19:037:10 a.m. to
00:19:079:20 a.m., performing five
00:19:10flights. It was emphasized that the facilities are protected, that nothing else is
00:19:13threatened, after extinguishing the fire, the railway will be
00:19:17rehabilitated so that trains can run
00:19:20again. All available forces of the professional fire brigade
00:19:23Mostar were engaged
00:19:25on the ground.
00:19:30The fire is currently being remediated. The facilities are
00:19:34protected, nothing else is threatened. It is currently being
00:19:37extinguished and we are going to open the railway
00:19:41so that trains can pass, that is currently being
00:19:44done.
00:19:51Professional firefighters are always on the front line of defense of human
00:19:55lives and property without a resolved favorable
00:19:58pension status. They launched an initiative to
00:20:01calculate pensions similar to
00:20:04the police.
00:20:06Smoke, toxic substances. Destroyed equipment and days of fighting the fiery
00:20:09element, this is the reality firefighters face
00:20:13daily, especially in the summer months, and the consequences
00:20:16remain permanently etched in their health. Our intervention lasted
00:20:2010 days and was very demanding, where,
00:20:23where many firefighters unfortunately ended up in the emergency room, some may
00:20:26feel the consequences on their health for
00:20:30years to come because we don't know what we inhaled, what
00:20:32fuels, what substances were there, what
00:20:36dangerous substances. Our equipment was unfortunately
00:20:39destroyed. Being a firefighter and rescuer is a broad spectrum, they say,
00:20:43it's not just about extinguishing fires, they also perform rescues
00:20:46from water, from heights or rescues from traffic accidents. In
00:20:50every moment they must be physically and mentally prepared, but
00:20:54that's not all. People usually think that firefighters are just waiting for
00:20:58an alarm or a call for intervention, but it's actually
00:21:01quite different, because we have daily
00:21:05maintenance of our vehicles, theoretical and practical
00:21:08exercises, maintenance of the fire station which is
00:21:11our second home. This is a stressful
00:21:15profession, but that's why when joining, as I said earlier,
00:21:18one undergoes training of six months, so that stress
00:21:22can be somewhat accumulated, somewhat
00:21:25eased,
00:21:28we get used to it, meaning we get used to it,
00:21:32the most important thing is helping citizens, helping those in
00:21:34need. Decades spent in smoke at life-threatening
00:21:38temperatures, leave irreparable consequences.
00:21:41Statistics from the field best illustrate the difficulty of this profession. Since I've been in
00:21:45firefighting since '96, that means 15
00:21:49of my colleagues. he has
00:21:52become disabled at work, meaning heart attack,
00:21:55stroke,
00:21:58mm, 18 colleagues died,
00:22:01leukemia,
00:22:02cancer,
00:22:05predominantly those, meaning 18 colleagues
00:22:08since uh '96.
00:22:11If that's not enough reason for us to have
00:22:14benefits, like those who have not benefits, but
00:22:18five best years... for retirement, like prison guards
00:22:21and our police got, I think firefighters should have it,
00:22:25they certainly earned it. There are about 900
00:22:30the entire Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 850
00:22:33of them signed an initiative that instead of salary throughout
00:22:36their entire working life, the personal coefficient for pension be determined on
00:22:39the basis of the five most favorable years. They state that the support
00:22:43of relevant institutions is necessary not only through equipment, but also through
00:22:46legal solutions. That means taking the best of those five
00:22:50years of their working experience as a basis for calculation,
00:22:54just like in the police, for example, the police received such
00:22:57conditions, we expect that firefighters will receive, according to
00:23:00some, let's say, calculations, or
00:23:04analyses, it's about 300 to 400,000 convertible marks
00:23:07annually, I'm talking about the entire federation, if we always demand that they are
00:23:11first to respond to a state of natural disaster, we must be
00:23:15first in seeking their rights, I truly believe that
00:23:19harmonizing their... due to a special pension status is not just
00:23:22some privilege, it is their reward,
00:23:25or, if I may say so, recognition for all these arduous
00:23:29years they worked in the most difficult and dangerous jobs. The initiative has been
00:23:33submitted, and now it is up to the relevant institutions. For people who
00:23:37spend their working lives in the field, resolving their pension status
00:23:40with a more favorable method of calculating pensions represents confirmation
00:23:43of the value of their profession. Nataša Kerezović,
00:23:46N1.
00:23:54We are almost two months before the general elections in Bosnia and
00:23:57Herzegovina, whom will we see on the election lists,
00:24:01old faces, old promises, and just new
00:24:04elections, nothing more. As for
00:24:07decades past, in this election cycle, the party lists feature
00:24:10almost the same faces, for example in the case of the SDA where the core
00:24:14of the lists for all levels of government is led by recognizable
00:24:17party names with a few newer positions. Functioning within electoral
00:24:21units, candidate lists for all levels of government were also formed by
00:24:24the Social Democratic Party, but without the party president Nermin
00:24:28Nikšić. However, there will be no room for surprises in policy changes in any
00:24:31political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina in this election
00:24:35cycle, experts say, because occasional minor
00:24:38refreshes or rotations within the same political circles do not mean
00:24:41fundamental political changes. For example, from Tuzla where I'm
00:24:44calling from, uh,
00:24:48promises are being reheated again, which are 25
00:24:52years old, now you expect someone to
00:24:54believe that, namely we at the state level have
00:24:58the same policies already since those first post-war elections in
00:25:011996, where they alternate, in fact it's
00:25:05just the national-colored
00:25:08packages taking over on the
00:25:11principle, vote for us
00:25:14and against this. HDZ, BIH in this election cycle does not have
00:25:18party president Dragan Čović on its lists.
00:25:21the race with a refreshed personnel roster, can
00:25:25individuals bring freshness? Following the political situation in Bosnia and
00:25:29Herzegovina for the last 30 years, I am afraid that the
00:25:32essence of politics does not change, that the way political parties are run
00:25:36does not change, I am always somewhat afraid that these new people who
00:25:39have been introduced to politics will not be misused
00:25:43in such a way that we now recognize
00:25:45new faces, new potential in them,
00:25:49and he..."
00:25:53There is very little fresh blood on the lists in Republika Srpska, it's mostly
00:25:57the same proven players, so surprises are only possible in some
00:26:01position on the compensation list, experts say. Candidates in all three
00:26:05electoral units for the House of Representatives the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:26:08will also have SNSD, led by among others, State Minister
00:26:12Srđan Amidžić and former Prime Minister of Republika Srpska Radovan
00:26:14Višković. The third electoral unit for the National Assembly
00:26:18of Republika Srpska will, for example, be led by the organizational secretary
00:26:21of SNSD, Igor Dodik. The list of candidates was also completed by
00:26:25SDS, so among others, the representatives for the House of Representatives
00:26:28of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, university
00:26:31professor Milan. Blagojević, state delegate Želimir Nešković and
00:26:35the head of the club of deputies of this party in the National Assembly Ognjen
00:26:38Bodiraga. Here I don't believe in politics that deals with
00:26:42uh values, but exclusively
00:26:45interests. So, from the start,
00:26:49uh I believe that whoever enters politics, enters politics to
00:26:52fill their pockets, buy an apartment, a weekend house,
00:26:56a good car, uh, so that their company,
00:26:59enterprise or club of deputies or councilors. the club
00:27:02pays for uh mobile phone and fills
00:27:06his fuel so he doesn't have to, so uh,
00:27:09the fact that someone is new to politics and is
00:27:12young, doesn't necessarily mean a guarantee of any
00:27:16changes, first of all, it could be a guarantee
00:27:20of continuity of that politics
00:27:22of interests. It is interesting, however,
00:27:26of turncoats, so this time too massive large transfers were recorded
00:27:30at all. levels of government, which is also noticeable on some
00:27:33election lists. In the end, we have everything, but also clear programs
00:27:37that would base their essential action on
00:27:40better living standards, economic development and political
00:27:43stability, conclude our interlocutors. Tatjana
00:27:47Drljić, N1.
00:27:50N1.
00:27:56Besides deep shade in the forest there is no healthy place to
00:27:59stay, it's not easy for many to come there.
00:28:03it's hard for everyone during the day, especially at
00:28:05night.
00:28:08The heatwaves are still ongoing, and the highest daily temperatures range
00:28:11between 34 and 40°C.
00:28:15High temperatures also bring health problems, but citizens
00:28:19still try to enjoy the summer
00:28:22days. We endure, we have to, we simply have no other choice,
00:28:25so I think, of course, we hide in the shade, definitely, I'm not crazy
00:28:29to go out in the sun now in the greatest heat, but... "Well, how
00:28:33it fits, let the warmth remain, a long
00:28:36winter in Sarajevo, I can't stand it at all,
00:28:40I'm dying, I'm suffering, I'm silent and what can I do when I
00:28:44have to go out, I really recommend older people
00:28:47like me not to go out unnecessarily, not to
00:28:50cause themselves this discomfort
00:28:53to their health, for this weather ok, summer is summer, right?
00:28:57Doctors warn that high temperatures affect the
00:29:00body, due to tropical nights..." Many can't even
00:29:03sleep, and the consequences are exhaustion, increased
00:29:06nervousness, weaker concentration and greater
00:29:09energy consumption. They advise cooling
00:29:12rooms, but avoiding large temperature
00:29:15differences. We darken that room during
00:29:19the day, to ventilate it during the evening hours,
00:29:22we try to cool it to an optimal ratio,
00:29:25to use light materials for
00:29:28bedding and of course if air conditioning is used.
00:29:32today's climate device to cool the room to
00:29:36some optimal temperatures, never too low
00:29:39temperatures. Consuming sufficient amounts of fluids is one of the
00:29:42basic preventive measures during hot days, but
00:29:46it is also important to eat plenty of fresh fruit and
00:29:49vegetables, this will contribute to
00:29:51an easier feeling in the body, less heating
00:29:55of the body, and uh then
00:29:58also easier sleep, avoid.
00:30:03fried food, fatty food
00:30:06foods that heat up, such as red
00:30:10pepper, ginger, cinnamon.
00:30:13Refreshment is expected only in the middle of next week, until then
00:30:17shade, plenty of fluids enjoying the summer, but with
00:30:21extra
00:30:21caution.
00:30:31Aspirin Protects. milligrams is recommended for people with
00:30:35high and very high risk of cardiovascular diseases, to
00:30:38reduce the risk of acute heart stroke, before
00:30:42use, carefully read the leaflet about the medicine for information about indications and precautions for side effects of the medicine
00:30:45consult a doctor or pharmacist
