00:00:25Dear viewers, good evening, welcome to the news.
00:00:31At least 98 dead, hundreds missing in catastrophic
00:00:35flash floods on the border of Nepal and
00:00:37China.
00:00:42From tonight's news, we also highlight these
00:00:44stories.
00:00:48Fires are still active in Trebinje and Krajina. This year,
00:00:52about 200 fires were recorded in our country, and over 40,000
00:00:55hectares of land were burned. What are the causes?
00:00:59Generally, what happens here, it burns for one day, it burns for two
00:01:03without her, a days, will it, won't it, who will, while civil protection is arguing,
00:01:07while this, while that, then when it starts to spread,
00:01:10then oh, give us helicopters, give us this, give us that, so it's too late to
00:01:14divide.
00:01:17Italian paratroopers demonstrated their abilities above Mostar as part
00:01:21of the EUFOR Rapid Response exercise, and a capabilities exercise was held in
00:01:25Banja Luka.
00:01:28in Mramor continue to work with Tragedy in Pakistan. 14 babies died in a large fire that
00:01:32broke out in a hospital due to a malfunction in the cooling
00:01:35system.
00:01:38Bosnia and Herzegovina faces a new
00:01:40of choice, especially not in a place where heatwave. A red warning has been issued by
00:01:42the weather alarm.
00:01:48Catastrophe on the border of Nepal and China, nearly a hundred
00:01:51people have died, and hundreds are missing in the flash
00:01:55floods. Among them are nearly 600 tourists.
00:01:58The army announced that it had sent soldiers and helicopters to the scene
00:02:02and added that damage assessment
00:02:06Mrkonja, and you are watching sports news on is underway. The danger has not yet passed, according to officials.
00:02:09People frantically ran at the border crossing between China and
00:02:12Nepal when a torrent appeared behind them. Water,
00:02:16rocks, and mud carried away human lives, tourist
00:02:19buses, trucks, and buildings. The border
00:02:22crossing where the torrent's force was recorded is the main
00:02:26crossing for tourist traffic between China and Nepal. According to initial
00:02:30information, an earthquake measuring 4.4
00:02:33degrees, which, according to media reports, occurred just seven
00:02:36minutes earlier, could be the cause of the torrent.
00:02:40The earthquake, it seems, triggered an avalanche of rocks and ice,
00:02:44creating a natural dam on the river. When the water broke
00:02:47through the blockade, a powerful torrent surged downstream, carrying
00:02:51everything in its path. Satellite images show the extent of
00:02:54the destruction of areas north of Kathmandu, the capital of
00:02:58Nepal, near the border with
00:03:00China. The remains of houses and buildings are under mud. The fear that
00:03:04there will be many victims is justified. On social
00:03:07networks, there are more and more videos showing people trying to find
00:03:10salvation by fleeing to higher areas. Chinese President
00:03:14Xi ordered all available rescue
00:03:17teams to be sent to this part of China. Rescue efforts are further
00:03:21hampered by the mountainous terrain and swollen rivers. Helicopters
00:03:25could not even land in some affected
00:03:28areas. The danger has not
00:03:32Power Plant, said that they are ready for yet passed, authorities warn that another blockage remains upstream on the river and that
00:03:35there is a possibility of a new flood wave. This is
00:03:39the worst natural disaster in Nepal since the 2015
00:03:42earthquake, in which 9,000
00:03:46people died. Dušan Mlađenović,

00:03:54The fight against fires in Bosnia and Herzegovina continues. The fire continues
00:03:58to rage in the Trebinje area. And in Krajina, while the fire devours
00:04:02huge areas, the question arises why the response is so
00:04:05poor and why we have such a large number of fires this
00:04:09year. Azur Delić brings the answers.
00:04:13This year, 200 fires broke out across Bosnia and Herzegovina, and
00:04:16over 40,000 hectares of land were burned, according to
00:04:20data from the European Forest Fire Information System. Because
00:04:23of these data, Bosnia and Herzegovina is first in the region in terms of burned
00:04:27area. Kemal Cacan, former commander. Firefighters
00:04:30points out that the causes are numerous, first of all, he says that organized work does not exist in
00:04:34the field of firefighting, that we do not have a single educational center, and that
00:04:38legal regulations are outdated. In all of this, there
00:04:41is no supervision over the implementation of the law, meaning there are no
00:04:44inspection bodies. One part of the answer, what you
00:04:48just asked, is precisely that, there is no supervision, meaning
00:04:52there is no one who will come and check the fire site,
00:04:55who will determine the source of the fire and who will punish the person
00:04:59responsible. I have said many times that
00:05:03repression is sometimes the best prevention. Here with us, that does not
00:05:06exist. The Federal Civil Protection Administration from 2009, now 2026, that means 18 years, they
00:05:10have just announced a competition for fire inspectors for
00:05:13the Federation. Although the human factor, his decades of
00:05:17experience show, is the most common cause of fire, punishment
00:05:20is lacking, irresponsible behavior continues, and when
00:05:23fires occur, then the lack of firefighters and modern
00:05:27equipment is best seen. The fire on Trebević is under control, but
00:05:31the fire still smolders. We, as the city of East Sarajevo, really cover
00:05:35a large territory, from Trnovo to Sokolac. We as a unit are
00:05:39organized into three departments and two branches. And
00:05:42for every intervention, we respond with that first
00:05:46striking shift, but it takes a little
00:05:49time until we organize other teams, so to speak, from other
00:05:53departments of our municipalities. According to the law, every municipality should have
00:05:56a professional fire brigade. Many do not have them, and those that do
00:06:00have a limited number of firefighters. According to
00:06:03our firefighting law,
00:06:07there will always be a shortage of professional firefighters. What
00:06:11is help, that is,
00:06:15significant help to firefighters, are volunteer
00:06:18firefighters. This is one segment, how we
00:06:21can compensate, that is, all participate and contribute
00:06:25to saving lives and material goods through voluntary
00:06:28firefighting, by joining as
00:06:31second-call, second-call firefighters. However, the situation
00:06:34is not good there either. For example, Sarajevo has nine volunteer fire
00:06:38departments, while Zagreb has 54. In these
00:06:41very low-growing open terrains, volunteer firefighters
00:06:45are the main force. We don't have that because
00:06:48simply the financing, meaning their annual
00:06:52budget isn't enough for fuel and tires,
00:06:55and all other firefighting equipment, which is extremely expensive, is not
00:06:59acquired. There is no plan, and usually the first costs that are cut in the budget
00:07:03when there is a budget rebalance are always taken from
00:07:06the firefighting item.
00:07:09This is visible on the ground in Herzegovina. For days, they have been fighting
00:07:12fires with helicopter assistance. The fire approached
00:07:15the settlement of Željavo near Trebinje. The guys really
00:07:18fought a huge battle last night, or almost until morning, until four
00:07:22o'clock. This morning it's calm in that area, but we must not
00:07:26give up, it's being watched, one arm is going towards
00:07:29Željav, that poses a great danger to us, there this morning almost
00:07:33four hours worked a helicopter of the armed forces,
00:07:36so we are fighting, the fire is approaching the road
00:07:40down to Željav. The situation is the same in the area of Bihać and Cazin. The fire on
00:07:43Plješevica has not been extinguished. Firefighters are trying to prevent
00:07:46the spread of the fire towards the coniferous forest. The fire at the Velike and
00:07:50Male Gomile locations is still active. A helicopter of the armed forces
00:07:54of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been deployed. Azur Delić,
00:07:56N1.
00:07:59Stay with us, in the continuation of the news,
00:08:01we bring you.
00:08:05Resignations demanded from the management of the Tuzla Thermal Power Plant and the heads
00:08:08of technical units due to operational problems and increased emission of solid
00:08:11particles. Due to which citizens protested in previous days,
00:08:15Elektroprivreda of Bosnia and
00:08:17Herzegovina has announced.
00:08:22The defense's request for the early release of war criminal Ratko Mladić
00:08:25was again denied. The President of the court concluded that
00:08:29humanitarian reasons justify early release.
00:08:32The defense requested that Mladić be transferred to a hospital
00:08:36or palliative care facility in Serbia, citing his serious
00:08:40health condition and the need for greater family presence. According to
00:08:43the medical report, Mladić's condition, as they state, is rapidly
00:08:47deteriorating, and they point out that he has entered the final phase of his life, and
00:08:51doctors estimate that death could occur in the coming
00:08:54weeks. Let us remind you, Mladić was definitively sentenced
00:08:57in 2021 to life imprisonment for genocide in
00:09:00Srebrenica, persecution of Bosniaks and Croats, terrorizing
00:09:04Sarajevo citizens, and taking UNPROFOR members hostage.
00:09:07Hostages.
00:09:10The investigation in the Donja Jablanica case, which refers to
00:09:14the catastrophic floods and landslides from October 2024, has been continued. By
00:09:18order of the special department of the Supreme Court of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:09:22and under the supervision of the Federal Prosecutor's Office, members of Fup carried out
00:09:25activities in the area of four cantons, namely Herzegovina-Neretva,
00:09:29Zenica-Doboj, Tuzla and Sarajevo Canton. At the locations
00:09:33of nine economic entities, they seized documentation that could
00:09:36serve as evidence in the further investigation, announced the Federal
00:09:40Police Administration.
00:09:44In the operational action code-named Han, aimed at suppressing
00:09:47illicit trafficking in excise products, SIPA members
00:09:50arrested six people. Searches were carried out in residential
00:09:54auxiliary facilities, as well as movable property used by
00:09:57the arrested persons in the area of Zenica, Busovača, Kakanj and
00:10:01Grude. A significant amount of money in various
00:10:04currencies was seized, and one hundred kilograms of tobacco,
00:10:08over 88,000 hand-rolled cigarettes, then
00:10:1120 PVC bags with finely cut tobacco, over
00:10:151,400 packs of various brands of cigarettes, as well as ammunition.
00:10:19The arrested persons will, after criminal processing and questioning as
00:10:22suspects, be handed over to the jurisdiction of the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia
00:10:26and Herzegovina.
00:10:30These days, a large multinational EUFOR Rapid Response
00:10:332026 exercise is being held in our country, the aim of which is to
00:10:36test the readiness and capability of international
00:10:39forces to quickly react and deploy additional
00:10:42capacities across the country. Today's activities were held in
00:10:46the Mostar and Banja Luka areas, where EUFOR members demonstrated
00:10:49mobility, coordination, and operational
00:10:52readiness.
00:10:54From the runway. In Pisa, Italy, today they took off towards Bosnia and Herzegovina, and
00:10:58their destination was the sky above Mostarsko blato. Italian
00:11:01soldiers, EUFOR members, parachuted from a military transport
00:11:05aircraft. This is not just a demonstration of individual skill;
00:11:08each jump is part of a larger operation, training the forces' ability
00:11:12to quickly arrive, deploy, and act where
00:11:15needed. After landing on the ground, they took up positions and moved
00:11:19towards a predetermined objective. Every step was precisely practiced in the
00:11:22operation, from the first touch of the ground to the movement towards the assigned
00:11:26goal, verifying precisely what the exercise aims for: precision,
00:11:29coordination, and readiness for action.
00:11:33we had this activity which we successfully carried out, the plane
00:11:37took off from Italy, came here
00:11:40to the area of Bosnia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is
00:11:43a demonstration of our abilities so that we can, therefore, in
00:11:47case of need, very
00:11:50quickly, therefore, engage forces that can arrive here in Gustenvo.
00:11:57Simultaneously, the action was also taking place in the Banja Luka area, where EUFOR
00:12:00members, along with media crews, arrived by helicopter from Sarajevo. There they
00:12:04practiced handling a situation that requires quick, coordinated
00:12:08action. Today we had an excellent opportunity to
00:12:11test our emergency procedures through a simulation as part
00:12:15of the training. We received information that enemy elements are present
00:12:19in the area, which is why we were called to secure this ammunition
00:12:22depot. Upon arrival, we established. control points
00:12:25two enemy elements were identified, after they were
00:12:29identified, they were handed over to local authorities. Different languages,
00:12:32procedures and ways of acting represent an additional challenge,
00:12:35they say, but also an opportunity to improve cooperation and readiness to respond
00:12:39in emergency situations through joint
00:12:41training.
00:12:45This was a very useful, interesting and challenging event because we
00:12:48are members of different nations, we speak different languages and
00:12:52we have different procedures. This was precisely the focus
00:12:55of this exercise, focusing on emergency procedures,
00:12:59I think the exercise was successful. It is about activities within a large annual
00:13:03exercise that gathered members from 24 countries that will be
00:13:06conducted until September 3rd in 14 locations. Until then,
00:13:10citizens can expect an increased presence of EUFOR on the ground, more
00:13:13movement of troops and patrols, as well as the passage of reserve
00:13:16force helicopters. All with one goal, to check the readiness and capability
00:13:20of EUFOR to quickly respond and act throughout
00:13:24Bosnia and Herzegovina at all times. N1,
00:13:28Mostar.
00:13:31Federal Minister of Energy, Mining and Industry Vedran Lakić demanded
00:13:34that the management of the Tuzla Thermal Power Plant and the heads of technical units
00:13:38take responsibility and resign due to operational problems and
00:13:41increased emissions of solid particles. Elektroprivreda of Bosnia
00:13:45and Herzegovina was asked for a complete analysis of the causes of events related
00:13:49to poor system management with a proposal of measures. Lakić, after
00:13:52a meeting with the management of Elektroprivreda and the Tuzla Thermal
00:13:57personnel cuts, because, as he stated, no one's position can
00:14:01be more important than people's health and the safety of the energy
00:14:03system. Elektroprivreda of Bosnia and Herzegovina, meanwhile, announced
00:14:07that solid particle emissions have been brought within
00:14:10the limits of designed values. The increase in emissions in previous days
00:14:14occurred due to technical problems in the ash transport system.
00:14:17Due to pollution, citizens living near the thermal power
00:14:21plant protested, demanding an urgent reaction from the authorities.
00:14:27On this day, 36 years ago, Mramor near Tuzla
00:14:31was shrouded in black, in one of the biggest mining tragedies in
00:14:34the former Yugoslavia, 180 miners lost their
00:14:38lives. The accident left behind families without fathers,
00:14:41sons, and brothers, and the consequences were felt for generations.
00:14:45Today, they were honored at the site of the
00:14:47accident. August 26,
00:14:511990, in the Dobrnja Jugu Mramor
00:14:55mine, a coal dust explosion occurred. There were
00:14:58181 miners in the mine, only Smail
00:15:01Imamović survived, who every August remembers the fallen
00:15:04comrades. Their average age was only
00:15:0727 years. This is the hardest
00:15:11month of the year for me, where
00:15:15my emotions towards my comrades and
00:15:18towards me also and towards the families
00:15:22of my fallen comrades
00:15:25are extremely strong. Very deep,
00:15:28deep feelings for
00:15:31them. Sympathetic. And 36 years
00:15:34later, families, colleagues, and citizens gather at the site of the
00:15:38tragedy, paying tribute with flowers and a minute of silence to those
00:15:41who did not return from the mine. Among the families
00:15:45who lost their loved ones that day was the family of Damir
00:15:48Brašnić. He was only six years old when he lost his
00:15:52father. Today, he himself works in the Mramor mine. I have
00:15:56a son, so, thank God, he gave me
00:16:00him, and I try to do my best in
00:16:03raising him, in me at every moment...
00:16:07he sees that protection, someone who will stand behind him,
00:16:11on the other hand, when we go back to me, I
00:16:14didn't experience that, I actually
00:16:17don't know, I don't know what it's like to have a father, but the anniversary
00:16:20of the biggest mining tragedy again raises the question of the conditions
00:16:24in which those who go underground every day work. In recent
00:16:28weeks, miners in Zenica, Breza and Kakanj have stopped working or
00:16:31protested due to unpaid wages, health insurance and
00:16:35other problems. In Mramor, where the fallen are being honored today,
00:16:38working conditions are not much
00:16:41better. Equipment that guarantees
00:16:45much better work safety, and thus
00:16:48productivity, has not yet been implemented with us,
00:16:52unfortunately. The best example is the Mramor Mine, about
00:16:5560% of the equipment came from the Zenica Mine, which is closing
00:16:58down. However, the remaining part is again conditional on
00:17:02developments in the Zenica Mine, and the miners
00:17:06this method, where they risk their lives daily.
00:17:1036 years after the tragedy, miners say that investing in
00:17:14safety must not be a matter
00:17:17it has already been shown how tragic the consequences can
00:17:21be. Responsibility, they say, lies with those who decide on
00:17:25the future of the mines. We must talk about humanization,
00:17:28and in parallel, better economic results so that
00:17:32such things do not repeat themselves. On the other hand, also to
00:17:36ensure energy. The memory of 180
00:17:39miners who on August 26, 1990
00:17:43did not return from the mine is preserved from year to year. For their
00:17:46families, the pain has not passed, and for their colleagues and, above all,
00:17:50the authorities, the obligation remains that a tragedy like the one in
00:17:54Mramor should never happen again. Feđa Kulina

00:18:01Here's what we have for the rest of
00:18:03the news.
00:18:06The legend of country music, Dolly Parton, has passed away. An artist who is
00:18:09known not only for her great hits and awards, but
00:18:13also for her humanitarian
00:18:14legacy.
00:18:19Before that, a few more news from the world, at least 14
00:18:22newborns died when a fire broke out in a state hospital in the Pakistani
00:18:26capital Islamabad, caused by a malfunction in
00:18:29the air conditioning system. One baby was saved. This is one
00:18:33of the deadliest fires in recent years in that country, where
00:18:37state healthcare is subsidized, but facilities
00:18:40lack sufficient resources or are overburdened. Regulatory
00:18:44bodies often criticize state institutions for poor management.
00:18:47Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif ordered the authorities to conduct an urgent investigation.
00:19:18The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and Iran is now setting conditions for
00:19:22its reopening. Tehran demands that the United States
00:19:25end the war, lift the naval blockade, and resolve the situation
00:19:29in Yemen. Iran and Oman are simultaneously negotiating a temporary
00:19:33corridor through the Strait and its demining. However, Tehran
00:19:36states that American and other military vessels will not
00:19:39be allowed passage. Hormuz usually accounts for about one-fifth of the world's
00:19:43trade in oil and liquefied natural gas, so the blockade directly affects global
00:19:47energy markets. While Washington announces new sanctions, Iran
00:19:51says it will respond to American pressure by striking
00:19:54their economic
00:19:55interests.
00:19:59The Kremlin claims that political conflicts within the Ukrainian leadership
00:20:03are escalating and that the government in Kyiv is collapsing from within. They
00:20:07reacted to statements by former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail
00:20:09Fedorov, who told Reuters that Ukraine is slowly losing the war and
00:20:13has only a few months for key decisions that could
00:20:17change the course of the conflict. Fedorov warned of deeply
00:20:20rooted corruption and clientelistic networks in
00:20:23the government. Kyiv replies that while he was in office, he
00:20:27spoke positively about the conduct of the war, and since then, only one thing has
00:20:31changed: his personal
00:20:32status.
00:20:36Since Ukraine.
00:21:31Meta has settled with American federal states in
00:21:35a case in which it was accused of designing Facebook and Instagram
00:21:38to be addictive for children. Prosecutors claimed that
00:21:42the company misled users about the safety of its platforms and
00:21:45improperly collected personal data of children. The settlement
00:21:49was reached in the midst of a trial in California initiated by
00:21:5229 federal states. This avoided one of
00:21:55the most important legal processes regarding the impact of social networks on children.
00:21:59The case is part of a wider wave of lawsuits against Meta and other technology
00:22:02companies accused of contributing to the deterioration of young people's
00:22:06mental health in the US. Details of the settlement have not
00:22:10yet been released.
00:22:16During July and August, every Wednesday a cycle of nine
00:22:20Sevdah concerts was held in the unique ambiance of the National Monument of Bosnia and
00:22:23Herzegovina, Svrzo's House. Damir Imamović, one of
00:22:26the most prominent contemporary interpreters of Sevdalinka, performed
00:22:29for the audience, with special guest appearances by
00:22:32country, the region, and the world.
00:22:36Combining top-notch music, cultural and historical heritage, and
00:22:39an authentic Sarajevo atmosphere, the project enriched
00:22:42the summer cultural offer of the capital city and contributed to the affirmation

00:22:50fears whether people would be interested, whether we would bore
00:22:53them anymore, right? This, whether we would manage to reach
00:22:57the guests of the city who usually come, stay for two days or one
00:23:00day, and whether they would make it to the concert or not, this
00:23:04and I think we really succeeded again, maybe
00:23:08even went a step further than last year in terms of the number
00:23:11of guests, in terms of the number of audience, right? What is,
00:23:15of course, the most beautiful thing is that
00:23:18this year I had a different guest for every
00:23:21concert.
00:23:24From that idea to implementation, I have 18 concerts in total,
00:23:27more than 4,500 visitors, we record
00:23:31in the Museum of Sarajevo, a greater
00:23:34public response from the audience that comes,
00:23:37visitors compared to previous years, and
00:23:41what I can really say with satisfaction is that this house
00:23:44has come to life.
00:23:47The world bids farewell to the legend of country music, Dolly Parton, an artist
00:23:51who, over several decades, became one of the most recognizable symbols
00:23:54of American culture. Behind her, however, remain not only great
00:23:58hits and awards, but also a humanitarian legacy
00:24:01and a rare popularity that transcended generational
00:24:04and political divides.
00:24:08Her teased hair, dazzling costumes, and sharp humor were
00:24:11her trademark.
00:24:13trademark.
00:24:20Behind her recognizable appearance stood one of the most successful
00:24:23singer-songwriters of her time, a woman who
00:24:26wrote about 3,000 songs and sold more
00:24:29than 100 million
00:24:30albums.
00:24:39Born the fourth of twelve children into a poor
00:24:42family in the mountains of Tennessee, she arrived in Nashville the day after
00:24:46high school graduation. With her, she brought
00:24:49a guitar, ambition, and stories of the region where she
00:24:52grew up.
00:24:58"Jolene," "9 to 5," and "I Will Always Love You"
00:25:01became songs for generations. Four years ago,
00:25:04she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
00:25:07of Fame.
00:25:12Across the country, flags are at half-mast, and New York's Empire
00:25:16State Building is illuminated in pink.
00:25:20The news of the Queen of Country's death after a short battle with cancer
00:25:23at the age of 80 was announced by her family.
00:25:4111 Grammys, film roles, her own amusement park, and
00:25:45seven decades on
00:25:46stage.
00:26:05That's why not just Tennessee is bidding
00:26:07her farewell today.
00:26:10I mean, look, look where she started, and she
00:26:14worked hard and believed in herself and what America could
00:26:18do, and she was amazing. It's heartbreaking and
00:26:22it's sad, and um, I think
00:26:25individually, I'm heartbroken, but I, I think collectively
00:26:29um, everyone feels the same way. Colleagues,
00:26:32actors, and friends remember an artist who influenced
00:26:36generations, but also a woman who, they say, made everyone
00:26:40feel seen and welcome. Tributes are also paid to her by
00:26:43politicians of different worldviews. Dolly Parton
00:26:47succeeded for decades in doing what was becoming increasingly difficult in a divided
00:26:50America, being a common icon, not
00:26:54taking a side in any political.

00:27:05singer and songwriter of rare power and talent. I was
00:27:09a huge fan of what Dolly did around literacy around
00:27:13the world. I was culture secretary when her libraries were
00:27:16first coming through and the books that went into communities across
00:27:20across Britain, what a legacy to leave. Her
00:27:24Imagination Library program, launched in honor of her father who could neither
00:27:28read nor write, distributed over 300 million
00:27:31books to children.
00:27:38Her life has ended, but the voice that connected
00:27:41generations of audiences for almost seven decades will hardly be silenced.
