00:00:32Hashim Thaçi sentenced to 25 years
00:00:34in prison, his associates to 13 to 25
00:00:38years. The verdict caused great dissatisfaction among KLA supporters.
00:00:56By the end of the show, among other things, watch.
00:01:03Fuel prices and everything
00:01:15before
00:01:15elections.
00:01:19The Iran war cost the US more than 38
00:01:22billion dollars. Negative future
00:01:25estimates.
00:01:30After a clear and cold morning, tomorrow afternoon rain in most parts
00:01:34of the country.
00:01:39The news of the day in the region is that former Kosovo President Hashim Thaçi in
00:01:43The Hague was found guilty of war crimes and sentenced to
00:01:4625 years in prison. His associates received
00:01:50sentences from 13 to 25 years. These are
00:01:53first-instance judgments that can be
00:01:55appealed.
00:01:58The former commander of the KLA did not listen to the earpiece
00:02:02while the details of the indictment were read to him, but the earpiece
00:02:05was in place when Hashim Thaçi had to hear the most
00:02:09important thing. The judge's order to rise and the verdict
00:02:12rendered in the name of the people of Kosovo. Mr. Hashim
00:02:15Thaçi, this panel sentences you to a single
00:02:19prison sentence of 25
00:02:21years.
00:02:25Mr. Krsnići, this
00:02:28panel sentences you to a prison sentence of
00:02:3225
00:02:32years.
00:02:37particularly in Mr. Veselji, this panel sentences you to a single prison
00:02:39sentence of 18
00:02:41years.
00:02:45Mr. Redžepe Sel, this panel sentences you to a single
00:02:48prison sentence of 13
00:02:51years.
00:02:53And while the square in Pristina was still mourning, a group of Kosovar
00:02:57Albanians who followed the sentencing not far from the courthouse
00:03:01in The Hague, caused riots. The police
00:03:04used water cannons to disperse
00:03:06the crowd.
00:03:10And a little later in Pristina. In the protest march,
00:03:14Albanian and American flags waved, and
00:03:17UÇK and Thaçi were chanted. The gathered went to the center
00:03:21of Eulex where the situation escalated.
00:03:24Demonstrators, some of whom wore masks, clashed
00:03:28with the police, the building... of the international mission was pelted
00:03:31with stones, and the Kosovo government building in
00:03:35Pristina was also pelted, and several windows were
00:03:37broken.
00:03:41With anger and dissatisfaction in Kosovo, in Belgrade the
00:03:45verdict for the leaders of the former KLA, however, was followed with
00:03:49far less attention. I think that what the court proved and did
00:03:52should be respected. 25 years in prison is little in your
00:03:56opinion, well, how is it not little for genocide?
00:04:00No, everyone should be held accountable for the crime they committed, wherever
00:04:04it was committed and against whoever it was committed,
00:04:07crimes are unacceptable. Well, I'm glad that
00:04:10for a change someone else is also being
00:04:14convicted and not just us. When you deliver a verdict in the name of the people
00:04:18of Kosovo, and when high Kosovar officials
00:04:21challenge that verdict, that will certainly, both internationally
00:04:25and domestically, have some
00:04:27consequences. On the other hand, this will lead to
00:04:30an increased number of indictments for war
00:04:34crimes committed by Serbs. The four leaders of the former
00:04:38KLA have been in The Hague since November 2020. The
00:04:42trial before the specialized chambers of Kosovo began in April
00:04:452023. The imposed prison sentences
00:04:49include the six years they have already spent in
00:04:52custody. Both the defense and the prosecution have the right
00:04:56to appeal the first-instance verdict. Nenad Nešić, N1.
00:05:00Belgrade,
00:05:03here are more reactions to today's verdict
00:05:05in
00:05:08The Hague.
00:05:12We are very disappointed because I don't think the verdict is correct. The KLA was
00:05:16one of the groups that fought for our freedom, how can freedom fighters
00:05:20be
00:05:21criminals?
00:05:28This is a sad day for Albanian history, because these freedom fighters
00:05:32fought for the freedom of the people, and this is
00:05:34a scandal. I hope it won't have an impact on
00:05:38Kosovo, but I think it will politically. Still, we hope...
00:05:42it won't have consequences, because otherwise, what's the point of
00:05:46fighting for freedom to end up in this
00:05:48situation?
00:05:54I believe this is an injustice, that it is more of a political decision,
00:05:58they are innocent. We are shocked, in a word, because we expected
00:06:02an acquittal for the main leaders of the KLA. With this verdict of the special
00:06:06court, it's just that the KLA was not declared a terrorist organization.
00:06:09There's nothing else, this is a very political trial, based on
00:06:13Serbian dossiers.
00:06:16Of course, I didn't expect this, nor did anyone else. What can I say, what
00:06:20else can I say. I have nothing. I didn't expect such an outcome.
00:06:23I am
00:06:24disappointed.
00:06:28The conviction and such a severe sentence for the four former leaders
00:06:32of the KLA represent unacceptable injustice, a great and
00:06:35damaging punishment. This verdict may have been formally pronounced in the name of the people
00:06:39of Kosovo, but this empty formulation should not be confused with the will
00:06:42of the people. This verdict must certainly be changed and corrected in
00:06:46the appeal process as soon as possible. In these difficult
00:06:49times, we stand with the families of the former KLA leaders and all their
00:06:53comrades-in-arms who fought for
00:06:54liberation.
00:06:58Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić says that for Serbia, the preservation of peace
00:07:01and stability is of crucial importance, and that the fact
00:07:05that emotions are so high even after so many years since
00:07:08the conflict shows that much injustice has been committed. In the
00:07:11future, the solution lies in dialogue and understanding,
00:07:15Vučić emphasizes.
00:07:18I believe that the fact that emotions are so high
00:07:21even after 27
00:07:24and after 30 and 35 years since
00:07:28the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia,
00:07:31speaks volumes about how much injustice has been done,
00:07:35but also that all of us together were not sufficiently
00:07:37prepared to
00:07:40confront
00:07:43our own mistakes and the crimes
00:07:46committed in our name,
00:07:48but I believe that
00:07:51in the future
00:07:53the solution lies in
00:07:57dialogue, greater understanding and dialogue with
00:08:01everyone.
00:08:04The former political leader of the so-called Croatian Republic of Herceg-Bosna
00:08:08who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for crimes committed in
00:08:12Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jadranko Prlić, has again asked
00:08:15the Hague mechanism for early release,
00:08:18accepted the crimes for which he was convicted, and
00:08:21expressed remorse. The submission to the mechanism states that
00:08:25Prlić reached the threshold of 2/3 of his sentence served in April
00:08:282024, and that he
00:08:31accepts the scale and seriousness of the crimes for which he was convicted.
00:08:34If released, Prlić stated, among other things, that he will
00:08:38permanently remain consistent with the view that crimes must not be denied
00:08:42and criminals glorified.
00:08:44Uh,
00:08:47courts are useless, verdicts are useless, condemnations are useless. Those who
00:08:51glorify criminals either don't wish themselves well, or they know
00:08:54something we don't know.
00:08:57The picture that the state minister of foreign trade and economic relations
00:09:01himself published and boasted about, in anticipation, as he says,
00:09:04of the resurrection of the dead, he laid a wreath on the grave of a convicted
00:09:08war criminal, wore a badge with the flag of Republika Srpska and
00:09:11kissed the cross on which the name and surname of Ratko
00:09:14Mladić are inscribed. The condemnations that have been coming in recent days from European
00:09:17parliamentarians, but also American congressmen, who have
00:09:21condemned the glorification of convicted war
00:09:23criminals, clearly did not bother Košarac,
00:09:27on the contrary, not only Mr. Košarac, no one cares
00:09:30from politicians from the government,
00:09:34as well as those from the opposition, if we are talking about Republika Srpska.
00:09:38Just three or four days ago, the
00:09:41mayor
00:09:44announced that a memorial
00:09:47bust of Radko Madić would be built in the center of Banja Luka in memory
00:09:50of fallen soldiers, which best shows that they
00:09:53absolutely do not care about the position of the International
00:09:56community. The President of the European Commission reiterated today that she was
00:10:00appalled by the footage from the funeral of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić
00:10:04in Belgrade last week. Speaking about the state
00:10:07of the European Union in the European Parliament, she said that there is simply no place
00:10:10for glorifying war criminals.
00:10:14All victims of the wars in the former Yugoslavia deserve to
00:10:18be remembered, and all their families deserve our
00:10:21compassion, because that is what we, as a union, stand for: for
00:10:25truth, justice, and respect for our values.
00:10:29Similar statements could be heard from European parliamentarians a day
00:10:33earlier, but with direct condemnation of Serbia and officials from Republika Srpska. Many
00:10:37called for concrete sanctions, but Lyon did not talk about that. And in
00:10:40Washington, American congressmen criticized Milorad
00:10:44Dodik, Serbia, and policies that divide Bosnia and Herzegovina. The unified
00:10:47stance is that the glorification of war criminals must not be tolerated. However, after
00:10:51yesterday's debate in the American Congress, it is clear that the
00:10:54current Donald Trump administration considers the Dodik
00:10:58case closed.
00:11:01What messages are we sending when we talk about American interests? On the one
00:11:05hand, security interests and America's concerns
00:11:08about China and Russia are excluded from the strategic dialogue. On the other hand,
00:11:12former convicts who lobby and the president's relatives are involved
00:11:15in the processes. What does that say to the people in
00:11:19the region?
00:11:22The decision to remove Dodik and the people around him who were sanctioned
00:11:26was related to resolving and calming the deepest political
00:11:29crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina in recent decades. As
00:11:33a result of American diplomacy, Milorad Dodik withdrew from
00:11:36the position of President of Republika Srpska, and that legislative
00:11:40body adopted laws that annulled
00:11:43the most anti-Dayton acts that had been previously
00:11:46passed. Hadnan Huskić comments, things could
00:11:49change if Democrats win a majority in the American
00:11:53Congress in the upcoming elections in early
00:11:55November. However, Brussels' policy remains
00:11:58unchanged, there is no red card for Serbia in
00:12:01the European Union. However, what remains, that problematic part,
00:12:05is that the European Union still does not have a clear
00:12:09stance on Bosnia and Herzegovina. We have just heard that this is a red
00:12:12line, nothing has changed. So, essentially, you have
00:12:16no consequences for the authorities in
00:12:20Serbia. By the way, the President of the European Commission had earlier announced
00:12:23a visit to the Western Balkans. Whether she will bypass
00:12:27Serbia is not known at this moment. Tina
00:12:30Jelindizdar N1.
00:12:33Stay with us for more in the next
00:12:35segment.
00:12:39Tuzla residents protested over the detention of a fifteen-year-old
00:12:43girl.
00:12:48Every new day brings new figures at gas stations, and it's getting
00:12:51more unsettling, as is going to the market and the
00:12:55store.
00:12:58Fuel prices are rising again, day by day. Citizens fear new
00:13:01chain price increases, and past experiences show that
00:13:05rising fuel prices affect the prices of other products and services.
00:13:09Every increase in energy prices spills over
00:13:12into the daily lives of citizens all over the world, uh, so
00:13:16that practically it affects us in Bosnia and
00:13:20Herzegovina. Uh, we must know that
00:13:23when refineries sell fuel, "they sell it at prices
00:13:26that are defined on that day on the stock exchange. That means
00:13:30practically every truck that arrives can have a new
00:13:34price, and that will have an impact, or I should
00:13:38say, a consequence on the price of fuel we buy at gas
00:13:41stations. Price increases have also been recorded at the Federal Ministry
00:13:44of Trade. Data shows that prices rose continuously
00:13:48from the beginning to the middle of the month. Diesel is 15 fenings more expensive, gasoline
00:13:5117 fenings per liter. Given that numerous factors
00:13:55influence prices, the Ministry states that they can only influence the part that is formed
00:13:59through trade margins. Therefore, they propose that the existing restriction
00:14:03on margins for petroleum products be extended for another 90
00:14:06days. Fuel prices are influenced by numerous factors that the Federation of Bosnia
00:14:10and Herzegovina cannot directly affect, primarily the movement
00:14:13of procurement prices on the international market. What we can
00:14:17influence is the part of prices that is formed through trade
00:14:20margins, so we propose that the existing restriction remain
00:14:24in force for another 90 days. Citizens, even without new
00:14:27price increases, struggle to cover basic living costs. The trade union
00:14:31consumer basket for August amounted to 3,810 marks,
00:14:34almost 300 marks more than the previous year. The average salary
00:14:38covers only about 45% of that basket, which
00:14:41means that even two average salaries are not enough to cover all the costs
00:14:45of a family of four. Minimum incomes cover only about
00:14:4827% of the consumer basket. Every new
00:14:51price increase therefore further burdens household budgets.
00:14:55There are four of us living here, and all four of us contribute,
00:14:58so we have decent incomes. I don't
00:15:01like these price increases, naturally, for
00:15:04everyone else, it affects us, just like our
00:15:08budget, everything else immediately decreased, it has to,
00:15:11everything else, what, everything is
00:15:14more or less the incompetence of politicians to
00:15:18regulate it, it is not forbidden to
00:15:20suffer, 700 marks
00:15:23pension, I compare, today two
00:15:26marks, tomorrow three, however it is and
00:15:30it's good, it can be done, are you satisfied, I'm not
00:15:33satisfied, I would be satisfied if I had
00:15:37a lot of money, but I have no
00:15:40worries, the children finance it.
00:15:43The extension of the locked price measure for a hundred
00:15:47products is also announced. However, in the pre-election period, economic issues and concrete
00:15:50solutions for rising living costs are not a priority.
00:15:54Pavlović believes that economics should have a much more significant place
00:15:57in the campaign. Life in Bosnia and Herzegovina is becoming
00:16:01more expensive. Inflation is recorded at
00:16:046%, but I personally
00:16:08expect it to reach 10% by the end of the year due to the whole situation.
00:16:12The economy demands absolute priority. While
00:16:16measures are announced, adopted, and extended, citizens constantly
00:16:19feel the consequences of increasing living
00:16:22costs, which are not really accompanied by increasing
00:16:25incomes. They are now additionally concerned by the new increase in fuel prices, which, through
00:16:29transportation costs, can spill over to basic foodstuffs.
00:16:32Mirna Ždralović,
00:16:34N1.
00:16:37The list of miners' concerns in the Zenica-Doboj Canton is long.
00:16:41The deadline set by the Health Insurance Institute for the authorities
00:16:44has expired, with no salaries or any
00:16:47protection.
00:16:50The debt of the Zenica mine, the Kakanj mine, and the Breza mine
00:16:53of 175 million marks to the Health Insurance Institute
00:16:56of the Zenica-Doboj Canton did not arise this year, but has
00:17:00accumulated over the past decades. However, the Institute has decided
00:17:03to exert the greatest pressure now. Currently, over 5,000 people
00:17:07in this canton are without health care, according to the
00:17:10union. It is not realistic to talk about huge
00:17:14millions, we do not dispute them, but at this moment no
00:17:18mine, no underline, is able to find
00:17:21such funds to pay to the Health Insurance
00:17:24Institute. A solution should be sought in discussions,
00:17:28constant talks, because
00:17:32simply put, bringing, I say, 7,000 citizens,
00:17:35children, miners,
00:17:39wives of miners themselves
00:17:41to a situation where they cannot take these crises is difficult.
00:17:45The Union adds that they are collateral damage to the energy sector of the Federation
00:17:49of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Zenica miners are at the same time waiting for their
00:17:52salaries. It is expected that World Bank funds will be operational in the coming
00:17:56days. The truth must be told that we have been paying
00:17:59these contributions related to healthcare for the past
00:18:0215-17 years, meaning the problem did not arise
00:18:05yesterday, it is evident that it exists. And I absolutely do not dispute for a moment
00:18:09that the debt mentioned in that amount is a burden
00:18:13for these mines, i.e., the need of the Health Insurance
00:18:16Institute. The result of all this, after
00:18:2020 years of cheap energy. The debts of the three
00:18:23mines to the Institute seriously threaten the financial stability of the entire
00:18:27health system, say the Health Insurance Institute of the Zenica-Doboj
00:18:31Canton. They warned the federal government about this in July,
00:18:34then in August, after no concrete steps were taken. They gave the government
00:18:38and the mines a deadline until September 15th. The Institute has
00:18:42exhausted its possibilities. Now it's the turn of the Federation Government.
00:18:45We are not asking for new promises, we are not asking for another meeting,
00:18:49we are not asking for another postponement. We are asking for concrete
00:18:52solutions, concrete decisions, and concrete payment of health insurance
00:18:56contributions. More than 175 million
00:18:59convertible marks in debt is enough of an alarm for all those responsible. In
00:19:03August, 200 miners of the Kakanj brown coal mine went on a labor
00:19:07stoppage. We don't know if we will come out of the pit alive, and we don't even have
00:19:10the right to treatment, they said then. Today, they are in the same
00:19:14situation. Then, the miners in Raspotočje refused to leave the pit
00:19:17for eight days in protest. They then protested in front of the federal government
00:19:21on September 2nd. Miners from other cantons are also in trouble.
00:19:25For 30 years, I haven't validated my health
00:19:28card. Now, I don't know what
00:19:32to say about that. It's not our
00:19:34fault either. Here in Zenica, they somehow
00:19:38handled bills with healthcare, we are even
00:19:41worse off in Central Bosnia. Miners can only go to hospitals if
00:19:45they pay themselves. There is no more time to wait, but the Federal
00:19:49Government gave no response today. Azur Delić,
00:19:53N1.
00:19:56But that's why they love to brag and show that they are working
00:19:59relentlessly in September, right before
00:20:02the elections.
00:20:04More than 2000 cases of potential misuse of public
00:20:07resources, covering a period of two months before the election campaign,
00:20:11have been recorded by Transparency International Bosnia and Herzegovina. More
00:20:14than 70% of cases relate precisely to the intensification of public
00:20:18works. Cases reported to the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:20:22have been sanctioned on two grounds. However, it seems that despite widespread
00:20:25abuses, less punishment has ever been imposed. And the different
00:20:29views on abuse between non-governmental organizations and
00:20:32the CIK are also problematic. Sanctions were imposed where political parties boasted about these
00:20:36public works and promoted them on social networks,
00:20:39and sanctions were imposed in cases
00:20:43where campaigning took place at events opening those works.
00:20:46No sanctions have yet been imposed since the election
00:20:50campaign began. We will see how the CIK will interpret it now. Our key
00:20:53message is that the same effect is not achieved. It is not the same in public opinion when you punish someone
00:20:57for running a premature campaign,
00:21:00or for rushing with the election campaign, and when you
00:21:04punish them for misusing public funds to buy votes. Although
00:21:07the election law of Bosnia and Herzegovina prohibits the misuse of public resources
00:21:11in campaigns, this does not put an end to this practice. However, according to
00:21:14Traljić, the CIK in such cases only sees a premature
00:21:17campaign. In addition, at the current level of corruption, financial penalties are
00:21:21meaningless and do not deter politicians from breaking the law.
00:21:24The fact that there is still no change in public perception that such things are not
00:21:28normal is perhaps the biggest problem. If voters
00:21:31vote based on that, it is clear that it affects
00:21:35their election decision. Why wouldn't
00:21:38politicians do it then? If we change
00:21:41the way we vote and start voting for those who have worked
00:21:44for four years, not just a few months before
00:21:48the elections, then they will change that too, or if we
00:21:51tighten the law to prohibit such types
00:21:55of abuse of power, then that will also
00:21:58put an end to it. The value of works opened only in July amounts to
00:22:01120 million marks, and throughout the country, the construction of more than
00:22:05170 infrastructure projects has been officially started.
00:22:09Transparency International warns that one month before the elections, there is a noticeable
00:22:13alarming trend of increasing cases of indirect purchase of voter
00:22:16support through legally prohibited one-time cash payments.
00:22:20Since the announcement of elections, approximately 68 million marks have been distributed, of which
00:22:24the largest portion, over 30 million, was allocated by the Government
00:22:27of Republika Srpska. From pensioners
00:22:30to veterans, the climax was when they
00:22:34started distributing it to primary
00:22:37and secondary school students. On the other hand, here where the opposition
00:22:40is actually in power at the local level, and Banja Luka
00:22:43is an example, we have a mass of some completely undefined
00:22:47infrastructure works. Namely, at almost every
00:22:51intersection, roundabouts are now being built, monuments are being erected.
00:22:54The misuse of public works is a recipe for a sure
00:22:57vote, but economists, however, advise citizens something else: to
00:23:01vote according to their wallet and refrigerator, for everyone to look
00:23:04in the mirror and say, "Has it been better or worse for us these four years?"
00:23:08and so on. If you are better off, then vote for
00:23:11the same ones, if you are worse off, change them. Maybe we are not
00:23:15that bad, because there have been no real changes, at least not yet" (Tatjana
00:23:19Drljić, N1).
00:23:23Unfortunately, there has been a lot of violence recently, especially peer violence,
00:23:27TK. Today in Tuzla, there was a protest due to the placement
00:23:31of a fifteen-year-old girl in the female section
00:23:34of the KPZ.
00:23:36The Municipal Court in Tuzla ordered one-month detention for a minor
00:23:40girl, suspected of attempted murder, attempted
00:23:43infliction of grievous bodily harm. The participants
00:23:46of the protest demanded that the cantonal prosecutor's office re-examine
00:23:50the qualification of the act charged against the girl.
00:23:53On this occasion, we do not wish to justify the act of the
00:23:56minor girl, uh, let the court
00:24:00and the prosecution do their part of the job, but as
00:24:03parents, as citizens, we believe that there is truly no
00:24:07place for her to remain in prison, because she is in
00:24:11prison. It should be kept in mind that this is truly
00:24:14an unformed personality,
00:24:17a child whose emotional
00:24:21development is still undeveloped. It should be kept in mind that the child
00:24:24reported violence, that she did not receive adequate
00:24:28protection. Today's attendees disagree with the court's decision,
00:24:31emphasizing that the system needs more adequate care.
00:24:35No, not in such a way as to exhaust that child, that
00:24:38child who will tomorrow be
00:24:41a social case, will be a problem for all
00:24:43of us because of some
00:24:47inaction. We have such problems here
00:24:51in society, that it's abnormal, we are at the bottom of the barrel, we have
00:24:54reached the bottom
00:24:56of everything, children are
00:24:59unprotected, neglected,
00:25:01as the old saying goes,
00:25:05water, harmful source, shame on you
00:25:09Tuzla, this is your child, we need to
00:25:13protect children, we need to be a protection for children, and
00:25:16instead of asking today why is she?
00:25:20"Instead of giving her support earlier, if we had asked her
00:25:24earlier, she would not be questioned today. The
00:25:27prosecutor's office said that they are working to verify allegations that the girl was previously
00:25:31a victim of violence. Witnesses are being questioned in
00:25:35a separate procedure and relevant evidence is being checked, as they
00:25:38said, all in the interest of protecting minors. This
00:25:42law prescribes special rules of procedure for minors,
00:25:45which take into account their age, personality, the child's best
00:25:49interest, and the need for special protection of rights and interests.
00:25:52of a minor, with the constant involvement of experts
00:25:55of appropriate profiles, psychologists, pedagogues and social
00:25:58workers, detention of a minor is foreseen as an extreme
00:26:02measure, satisfying all general and specific reasons for
00:26:05ordering detention, which is the case in this particular matter. A group
00:26:09of citizens requested an urgent session of the Government of Tuzla Canton on the safety
00:26:13of children in schools, the establishment of a system for reporting peer
00:26:16violence, the formation of a cantonal emergency response team,
00:26:20and an increase in the number of pedagogues and psychologists. We are facing
00:26:23the fact that our children are committing criminal offenses that we
00:26:26haven't, that we've only seen in movies. Are we going to
00:26:30allow children to protect themselves,
00:26:34for children to take justice into their own hands? That
00:26:38system that failed to protect her could eventually destroy her psychologically
00:26:42and turn a potential student
00:26:45of the generation, who might have been tomorrow's best
00:26:48doctor or I don't know what, best banker,
00:26:51engineer, into someone whom this system will psychologically
00:26:55break, and from whom neither society nor parents will have
00:26:58anything left. Citizens requested the establishment of an address
00:27:02where parents can turn to, as
00:27:06schools. Nataša Tadić, N1,

00:27:11Stay with us, next are world
00:27:12news.
00:27:16At least 20 people died in the collapse
00:27:19of a damaged building in
00:27:21Gaza.
00:27:26The American war against Iran has so far cost 38
00:27:29billion dollars, with an estimate that the monthly costs of the Iraq War will be three
00:27:33billion dollars, announced the Congressional Budget Office. The conflict has
00:27:37depleted ammunition supplies and caused a rise in energy prices,
00:27:40which could increase inflation by 0.5% in the first three
00:27:44months of next year, while the White House and Pentagon claim that
00:27:48the military has sufficient resources for all objectives, the US House of
00:27:51Representatives for the third time voted for a resolution to end
00:27:55the conflict. The decision comes before the midterm elections,
00:27:58and voters are protesting the surge in fuel
00:28:01the blockade of the Strait of
00:28:04Hormuz.
00:28:07At least 20 Palestinians, including five children,
00:28:10were killed and 25 were injured in the collapse of a six-story
00:28:14building in Gaza City. The building, previously damaged in Israeli
00:28:17attacks, served as a shelter for more than 60 displaced
00:28:21persons. Rescue teams are trying to reach those buried
00:28:24under the rubble, but work is hampered by the lack of heavy
00:28:28machinery. Authorities in Gaza point out that around
00:28:318,500 people in the Gaza Strip are still listed as missing under
00:28:34the rubble and call on the international community for urgent
00:28:37intervention and the lifting
00:28:39of the blockade.
00:28:42And here we have deployed all our teams
00:28:46uh that are working on the Brian and rubble removal uh to
00:28:50support uh to support these families uh
00:28:53situation as you see is tragic because we don't have the equipment and
00:28:57machinery that is needed. So there are
00:29:00actually people that are digging. uh with the bare
00:29:03ends, we need to
00:29:06prepare uh, there are approximately 400
00:29:09buildings at risk of collapse, and we know that these
00:29:13buildings will collapse, especially now with the upcoming
00:29:16winter, uh, we need uh support
00:29:20uh, most importantly with machinery,
00:29:23equipment, among others also to
00:29:27our colleagues here that don't have oil and spare parts uh to
00:29:31continue and to work, with all the equipment that is still
00:29:34in Gaza, we are running against time, this is a
00:29:38tragedy within a larger tragedy,
00:29:42and it is important that we are all coming together
00:29:45as international community to prevent and save
00:29:49lives.
00:29:54The editorial board of BHT1 is launching an initiative
00:29:57to file a lawsuit against the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, all
00:30:01responsible parties in the parliament, and the Council of Ministers for
00:30:04disrespecting the Law on the Public RTV System of Bosnia and
00:30:07service has been brought to
00:30:10ruin. They state that BHRT's accounts are still
00:30:13blocked, which at this moment means that the broadcast of matches of the Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:30:17Nations is uncertain. As of Friday,
00:30:21the broadcasting of certain programs will also be suspended. Once again, they call on
00:30:24the competent institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina to urgently adopt
00:30:27a systemic solution for the collection and distribution of the RTV fee
00:30:31and thus enable BHRT workers normal working
00:30:35conditions.
