00:00:23Dear viewers, good evening, welcome to
00:00:26the news.
00:00:30Dodik issued an ultimatum for the formation of the government, he will not join
00:00:33a coalition with the bloc that includes the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina. He also demands changes in
00:00:37the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a review of the decisions of the high
00:00:41representative. If someone wants SNSD and Republika Srpska to
00:00:44be seen in the bodies of Bosnia and
00:00:47Herzegovina. They will only watch us if we finish
00:00:51before that. The Constitutional Court and if we finish
00:00:54these decisions that were imposed, which were imposed
00:00:57as quasi-laws.
00:01:03From the news tonight, we
00:01:04also highlight.
00:01:08Arrests in Serbia, six people are suspected of arranging residency for people from Bosnia
00:01:12and Herzegovina in exchange for votes. These are
00:01:15employees of the municipal administration and the police station of Mali
00:01:19Zvornik. One suspect even went to
00:01:22Chaciland in an official car.
00:01:26Six former members of the Army of Republika Srpska sentenced to a total of
00:01:3083 years in prison for crimes in
00:01:32Novoseoci.
00:01:37Three people were arrested in the Alta Bank case, including the owner
00:01:41Davor Macura. He is suspected of withdrawing about 380
00:01:44million euros from the bank, bankruptcy of the
00:01:47bank was declared. He is
00:01:50charged with abuse of office of a responsible person.
00:01:54In that bank.
00:01:58US citizens go to the polls tomorrow in midterm elections that will
00:02:01decide on the new composition of Congress, we are live in
00:02:05Washington.
00:02:10If anyone thought that the formation of government in Bosnia and Herzegovina would go
00:02:14smoothly, they were wrong, conditions and
00:02:17ultimatums are coming. Milorad Dodik announced his list of demands today
00:02:20. He warns that without them the government will not be formed at the
00:02:24state level. And the Central Election Commission confirms the
00:02:27election results tomorrow, deadlines
00:02:30begin.
00:02:32Milorad Dodik is calling for a blockade of the formation of state government, it is clear from
00:02:36his statements that could be heard today after the session of the SNSD
00:02:40presidency, which discussed the results of the general
00:02:43elections, because it is hard to believe that any of the parties that identify themselves as Bosnian-Herzegovinian could
00:02:47agree to the conditions he set. For
00:02:51starters, the rejection of the practice of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the decisions
00:02:55of the OHR, there is the announcement of a new entity constitution on January
00:02:589, which, among other things, reduces the powers of the Council of Peoples of
00:03:02Republika Srpska. All decisions that were made by such and such
00:03:06high representatives should be immediately declared
00:03:09null and void within the framework of
00:03:12parliamentary procedure and the practice that produced anything
00:03:16related to those decisions should be annulled
00:03:19and they cannot remain in legal circulation because
00:03:23they are not laws, they undermine the Constitution of Bosnia and
00:03:26Herzegovina, those that were confirmed in parliament by
00:03:30the decisions of the high representatives, we know exactly which ones, will have to be
00:03:33reviewed. Let's recall that Milorad Dodik's sanctions were lifted
00:03:36after the National Assembly of Republika Srpska brought into force,
00:03:40among other things, the law on the non-application of the decisions of the Constitutional
00:03:44Court. After today's session, he also has a concrete
00:03:46proposal. We propose that the Constitutional Court
00:03:50adopts a law that will prescribe the composition,
00:03:53whereby Republika Srpska will get three,
00:03:56i.e. the Serb people, three, three deputies, three.
00:04:00Croatian and three Bosniak people, so that
00:04:03in this way a constitutional court is formed with procedures in
00:04:06which we can introduce protection
00:04:09of national positions, we cannot
00:04:12continue to work at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina with foreign judges
00:04:16in the Constitutional Court. All of the above is unacceptable
00:04:19for the SDA, comments ZN1 Ramiz Salkić, vice president of this
00:04:22party. He adds that it is clear that Dodik will try to delay
00:04:26the implementation of election results because the current
00:04:30coalition at the state level suits him. It is completely clear that
00:04:33these are, that the decisions made by the Constitutional Court are final and
00:04:36binding, an attack on the decisions of the Constitutional Court and the Constitutional
00:04:40Court is an attack on the Dayton Peace Agreement, on the other hand
00:04:44the high representative has his competencies, he had
00:04:47his competencies, he made his decisions, even some
00:04:51decisions were reviewed before the Constitutional Court of Bosnia
00:04:55and Herzegovina, so things are completely clear and simple and
00:04:58Milorad Dodik. can express his wishes, but
00:05:02those wishes are not, are not something that will
00:05:06be the subject of discussions, the subject of discussions cannot be
00:05:10coalition relations that the SD will form, nor the future. constitution of Republika
00:05:13Srpska, although the SNSD has a two-thirds majority in the National
00:05:16Assembly of Republika Srpska, underlines Salakić. Things are
00:05:20mentioned, I mean, Milorad Dodik
00:05:22and the parliamentary majority that was in the previous mandate and the one that
00:05:26will be in the next mandate, have
00:05:29a separatist agenda, an agenda that is based on
00:05:32aspirations for this part of Bosnia and Herzegovina to declare
00:05:36independence or to join Serbia. All this was
00:05:39commented on today in the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina. "If the Party
00:05:43for Bosnia and Herzegovina is unacceptable to him, because he cannot subjugate it to his
00:05:47will, then that is the best proof that we are on the right
00:05:51side. It is important to note here that Dodik has only six representatives in
00:05:55the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while
00:05:58on the other hand, pro-Bosnian parties have 23.
00:06:02I do not believe that any of them will agree to overthrow the Constitutional
00:06:05Court. Dodik also spoke today about European integration,
00:06:09claiming that the European path served to dismantle Republika Srpska. He is
00:06:13ready for talks on laws that are necessary for integration,
00:06:16which he again linked to the Constitutional Court and the OHR. Furthermore,
00:06:20although Dragan Čović announced talks last
00:06:23week, the meeting of delegations of the SD, HDZ
00:06:26and SNSD, which should form the backbone of the government at the
00:06:30state level, has not yet been agreed upon. Tina Jalindizdar,
00:06:34N1.
00:06:37The unraveling of the corruption ball continues after the elections in Serbia.
00:06:40Six people were arrested on the order of the special department for combating corruption
00:06:44of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad, on suspicion that they
00:06:47enabled citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina to register their residence
00:06:51in Mali Zvornik in exchange for voting in the elections,
00:06:55the prosecutor's office announced. The investigation also covers the suspicion that
00:06:58official municipal vehicles were used for going to Belgrade to the so-called
00:07:02Chacilend. Suspects GR, MO and FJ
00:07:06are charged with the criminal offense of trading in influence, while TJ,
00:07:10NTB and MO are charged with abuse of
00:07:13official position, the prosecution suspects that employees of
00:07:16the municipal administration and the police station Mali Zvornik mediated
00:07:20in registering residence for persons from the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, although
00:07:24they did not actually live at the registered addresses, in such a way that
00:07:27official notes on field checks contained untrue
00:07:31data. The prosecution states that the suspect MO during April
00:07:35and May 2025. Used municipal vehicles for
00:07:38travel from Mali Zvornik to Belgrade to stay in the pioneer
00:07:42park, the so-called "chacilend". According to the
00:07:45prosecution, these trips were not related to the performance of
00:07:49official duties, all arrested persons were ordered to be detained for
00:07:5248
00:07:54hours.
00:07:57And four people were arrested on suspicion of selling and buying votes for
00:08:01the list Aleksandar Vučić United Serbia, the Higher
00:08:05Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad announced. Three people
00:08:08admitted to the prosecutor's office that they bought votes for the SNS, that they
00:08:11received 6,000 dinars to circle number one in the elections
00:08:15on October 25. It is suspected that the suspect
00:08:18KA received a cash amount of 30,000 dinars from the suspect
00:08:22MJ, of which he kept 6,000 for
00:08:26himself as compensation for his vote for list number one.
00:08:29It is suspected that KA on November 1 paid in cash
00:08:336,000 dinars to suspects KB and
00:08:36TJ as compensation for voting for the same list
00:08:39in the same elections. MJ was ordered to be
00:08:42detained for 48 hours
00:08:45in
00:08:48continuation of the Alta bank case, Davor Macura, a businessman close to
00:08:52the SNS and owner of the bank that has been declared bankrupt,
00:08:55was arrested this morning along with two other people on suspicion of abuse of
00:08:59official position. Previously, the police had been searching the premises
00:09:03of Alta Bank since Saturday, which had its operating license
00:09:07revoked on Saturday. Clients of this bank are in huge trouble, but
00:09:11what is worrying is that the bank's connections reach
00:09:14Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:09:17The bank went bankrupt, went bankrupt, I don't understand how what went bankrupt,
00:09:21the bank has no money, how does it have no money, I invested this,
00:09:24this, this is my money, I don't know, we have no dinars or
00:09:28money, there is nothing, will you please bring Eyub from
00:09:32the management, tell him that Misilić from the republic is calling,
00:09:35Mr. Eyub was arrested this morning, a scene
00:09:38that is almost four decades old, is related to this case
00:09:42and causes... Laughter from social media users, however, the situation is very
00:09:45serious. Davor Macura, the owner of Alta Bank, is suspected of withdrawing
00:09:49about 45 billion dinars from the vault, which is a little over
00:09:52380 million euros. He is
00:09:56charged with abuse of official position
00:09:59in that bank and he
00:10:02will be brought before the competent prosecutor
00:10:05tomorrow, as we were told in the afternoon, i.e. after 12
00:10:09o'clock. What is particularly worrying is that Alta Bank's business crosses the border.
00:10:12Serbia reaches Bosnia and Herzegovina, namely, the Ministry of
00:10:15Finance of Republika Srpska in February of this year concluded
00:10:19a credit arrangement with it in the amount of 22 million euros for
00:10:23a period of 24 months at a fixed rate of
00:10:265.5%. Loans, as stated by the relevant ministry to
00:10:30N1, were contracted in accordance with applicable regulations, the funds were
00:10:33used to fulfill the financial obligations of Republika Srpska in accordance with
00:10:37determined needs and planned financial flows, for what
00:10:41specific purposes was not specified. Republika
00:10:43Srpska does not have deposited funds in this bank, and the current problems
00:10:47in its operations do not have negative consequences for the budget and
00:10:51financial stability of Republika Srpska. Republika Srpska will
00:10:54continue to regularly service its credit obligations in accordance with
00:10:57the concluded agreement. However, the media that dealt with this topic
00:11:01state that the money was intended for the repayment of funds to the company
00:11:04Drvoeksport from Teslić, behind which stands local businessman Srđan
00:11:07Klječanin Rufi, an SNSD official.
00:11:10The money represented compensation for the termination of the contract for the sale of land in Jahorina, which
00:11:14this company could not take possession of due to the decision of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and
00:11:18Herzegovina. In public, as you probably know,
00:11:22it has long been said that...
00:11:25in fact, it's just a cover-up in this whole story, that behind
00:11:29everything is Zvonko Veselinović,
00:11:32a Serbian businessman, extremely close to the former
00:11:35regime of Aleksandar Vučić in Serbia, extremely close to
00:11:38intelligence structures there.
00:11:41Alta Bank previously also granted loans to the Olympic Center Jahorina, which, according to
00:11:45published data, in 2023,
00:11:47used a loan of 4.6 million convertible marks with a repayment period of
00:11:51six months and an interest rate of 10.75%, for which
00:11:55the government of Republika Srpska was the guarantor for this loan. It was supposed to be
00:11:58returned in six months, but
00:12:02this is enough here, there is enough
00:12:05material here for the local, local
00:12:08prosecutors, from whom we still have absolutely, absolutely no
00:12:12news. The connection of the Alta group with the BiH financial market
00:12:16did not end only with credit arrangements, and within the framework of a regional
00:12:20business arrangement, Alta also planned to acquire Addiko Bank Sarajevo and
00:12:23Addiko Bank Banja Luka. However, clients do not need to worry because in
00:12:27this race for acquisition, Raiffeisen won, which acquired all banks in
00:12:31the region, including those in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as stated in the morning
00:12:34program of RTRS by the director of the Agency for Banking of Republika Srpska.
00:12:38What was part of the plan, it's just part
00:12:41of the plan, is that Raiffeisen Bank does not retain certain banks,
00:12:45Addiko banks in the region, primarily
00:12:48I mean Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:12:50However, there are many steps to get there.
00:12:54Those steps are primarily related to supervisors, to the banking agency,
00:12:58we are the ones who give consent or do not give consent
00:13:02to potential buyers, while the saga regarding the
00:13:05closure of Alta Bank continues, some sources in Serbia claim that part of the money
00:13:09ended up in Igor Dodik's accounts in offshore zones, because two weeks ago
00:13:12several tens of millions of euros were reserved for him, which he exchanged at the lowest exchange rate.
00:13:16However, these are
00:13:19unconfirmed information, the final word will be given by the investigative and judicial
00:13:23authorities. Tatjana Drljić.
00:13:25N1.
00:13:28Concern in Serbia is growing, what will happen to citizens' deposits
00:13:31and the money of Serbian state enterprises in Alta Bank.
00:13:35Economists warn that the consequences of bankruptcy could
00:13:39also affect other companies owned by Davor
00:13:42Macura.
00:13:45While awaiting the decision of the Commercial Court on the bankruptcy of Alta Bank,
00:13:49citizens are waiting for information on when they will be able to withdraw their deposits
00:13:52from the bank. Instructions on this, explains the N1
00:13:56interlocutor, will be announced by the Deposit Insurance Agency,
00:13:59which will designate a bank that will be the payer within three
00:14:03days of official bankruptcy. The Deposit Insurance
00:14:06Agency will return up to 50,000
00:14:09euros to depositors, anything above that, so if someone had
00:14:13let's say savings of 70,000, the agency will return
00:14:1750,000, for the other 20 they will have to wait
00:14:20for collection in the regular bankruptcy proceedings and
00:14:23bankruptcy estate. In addition to citizens, Elektroprivreda Srbije,
00:14:27Telekom, Serbia Gas, Air
00:14:30Serbia, parking service also had accounts in the bank. The list of state enterprises
00:14:34is long, so it is clear that Alta Bank could only function if it was
00:14:37privileged by the former regime, explains Pavle
00:14:41Petrović, former president of the Fiscal Council, and that is
00:14:45why, he adds, the reaction of the National Bank of Serbia was delayed. If there was a
00:14:48truly independent governor of the central bank, not
00:14:52a high official of the Serbian Progressive
00:14:56Party, in the morning a
00:14:58independent person, so if there was a truly independent governor of the central
00:15:02bank and vice-governors with him, they would
00:15:05fundamentally look at what is happening. The essence
00:15:09is, according to the editor of Economy Weekly Radar, Milan Ćulibrk, that for
00:15:12Davor Macura to build a business empire in Serbia in
00:15:16just a few years, in the West it would have taken at least
00:15:19a century. There were hundreds of millions of euros
00:15:23of state money from state enterprises. The question is what
00:15:27will become of it in the end when, because now everything depends on
00:15:30how the bankruptcy will end, let's not forget that
00:15:34the bankruptcy of those four failed banks somewhere that closed
00:15:37back in 2002 is still not finished, although
00:15:41he believes that the bankruptcy of Alta Bank will not have significant consequences for
00:15:45the Serbian banking system, Petrović also cannot claim the same for
00:15:48companies that are also owned by Davor Macura. Economically,
00:15:52a much greater problem effect can,
00:15:55a bad effect consequence can have
00:15:59potentially those chains, Mercator, Idea, Roda
00:16:02and that they come into a very
00:16:06difficult situation. They can go bankrupt, it is possible that
00:16:09they could go bankrupt, he does not rule out
00:16:12the possibility that other clientelistic firms that
00:16:16in previous years, like Alta Bank, were supported by the political
00:16:19economic state elite, will also go bankrupt. Miloš Zekić
00:16:23N1, Belgrade.
00:16:26We are still talking about Serbia. The Higher Court in Belgrade received decisions on the pardoning of
00:16:30five people that Aleksandar Vučić issued on September 27, the
00:16:34day he resigned. Among them is Dijana. Hrkalović, former
00:16:38state secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia, who was linked to
00:16:41members of criminal groups. The court states that
00:16:44Dijana Hrkalović was acquitted of criminal prosecution for the criminal offense of trading
00:16:48in influence. According to the indictment, she influenced her associates to delay
00:16:52the submission of the expert report on Veljko Belivuk's phone in the case of the murder of
00:16:55Vlastimir Milošević, and ordered the deletion of part of the recording of the conversation between lawyer
00:16:59Dragoslav Ognjanović and enabled Darko Eles to be
00:17:03protected from investigations by other police. administrations,
00:17:06she was initially sentenced to one year and four months in prison. The Appellate
00:17:10Court in Belgrade overturned that verdict and ordered
00:17:13a retrial. The trial
00:17:16will be repeated.
00:17:20And by the first-instance verdict of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, six former
00:17:23members of the Second Romanija Brigade of the Army of Republika Srpska were sentenced to
00:17:27a total of 83 years in prison for the murders of
00:17:3044 men and the deportation of women and children from
00:17:34the village of Novoseoci in Sokolac in September 1992.
00:17:38Momčilo Pajić was sentenced to 20 years, Miladin Gašević to
00:17:4115, and Branislav Kezunović, Željko Gašević, Jadranko
00:17:45Šuka and Nikola Koprivica to 12 years each.
00:17:49By the first-instance verdict, Dragomir Obradović and Aleksa Gordić were acquitted. An appeal
00:17:53against today's verdict is allowed to the Appellate Division of the
00:17:56Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:17:58The bodies of four EUFOR members who
00:18:02died in a military helicopter crash in the wider Brčko area
00:18:06were transferred to Italy, the plane with the remains that
00:18:09departed from Tuzla International Airport this morning was met
00:18:13in Rome in the afternoon by Italian President Sergio
00:18:17Mattarella, Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto and Prime Minister
00:18:20Giorgia Meloni. All nine patients injured in the helicopter
00:18:24crash in the Brčko District who were treated at the public
00:18:27health institution in Brčko are out of life danger, and their
00:18:31health condition is stable. Two patients with serious injuries
00:18:35were referred for further treatment
00:18:38at the University Clinical Center in Tuzla. An extensive
00:18:42investigation is also underway to precisely determine all circumstances, as well as
00:18:46the technical causes that led to the helicopter
00:18:48crash.
00:18:56For the EUFOR community, their departure from Bosnia and Herzegovina represents
00:18:59a moment of deep sadness. They came here in service as part of an
00:19:03international mission dedicated to peace and
00:19:06security. And they leave behind colleagues and friends from
00:19:10the entire mission, who will remember them for their
00:19:12professionalism and dedication to service.
00:19:16Aofor also wishes to express its sincere
00:19:19gratitude to the institution and people of the Bosnia
00:19:22and Herzegovina. EUFOR also wants to express sincere gratitude
00:19:26to the institutions and citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the exceptional
00:19:30support they provided since the moment
00:19:32of the accident.
00:19:35After the protest in front of the city hall three days ago, the citizens of Goražde who
00:19:39demand urgent remediation of the illegal Šišeta landfill today blocked
00:19:42the entrance to the landfill, they announced that in the coming days they will not allow
00:19:46waste disposal at that location. In order to
00:19:49prevent the continuation of waste disposal at the landfill, citizens also announced
00:19:53all-day vigils, and even, as they said, staying overnight in front of
00:19:57the landfill, until the competent institutions offer a legally and
00:20:00financially sustainable solution. The mayor of
00:20:03Goražde confirmed that there will be no waste disposal at this location
00:20:06today. and announced the presentation of several options for
00:20:10municipal waste management, including the possibility of its
00:20:13transport to other cities. At this
00:20:16location, as for what is currently happening and what the requests were that arrived earlier, what we
00:20:20pointed out, that is why we intensively worked on the Trešnjica
00:20:23construction to be completed, unfortunately the court made
00:20:27a temporary decision on the prohibition of disposal, and we are waiting
00:20:31for an answer from July from the cantonal ministry whether the
00:20:35Federation regulation transferred the jurisdiction for issuing
00:20:38environmental permits and renewal directly
00:20:41to the cantonal ministry, we all have a responsibility to act,
00:20:45what the mayor has done is provide almost 2.5 million,
00:20:48that's all I could do. What others did, let them answer
00:20:51themselves,
00:20:54we want to inform citizens that we will not
00:20:57give up, we are not putting pressure here to
00:21:01open Trešnjica, we here only want one request to
00:21:04close
00:21:07the Šišati landfill, we have an ecological bomb above
00:21:10our heads, it's a matter of hours, days, weeks until it
00:21:14explodes, we are no longer in whether it will or won't, but when it will
00:21:17explode, meaning it will explode 100%. God grant that
00:21:21I am wrong, what I want to tell you from here,
00:21:25we will not withdraw, we will sleep here every
00:21:28night, we will be on duty, but not a single
00:21:31truck will enter
00:21:33here again.
00:21:36Stay with us, in the continuation of the news
00:21:38we bring you.
00:21:42Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of using
00:21:46strengthen military positions. Authorities in both countries reported that late last night
00:21:50cyber attacks were carried out on their mobile emergency warning applications for mutual
00:21:53attacks.
00:21:55The United States of America goes to the polls tomorrow
00:22:01for midterm elections that will decide on the new composition of
00:22:04Congress and the balance of power between Republicans and Democrats. More
00:22:08than 54.7 million Americans have already exercised
00:22:12their right to early voting in person or by mail. We will continue
00:22:16live from Washington, where our reporter Nina Kljenak
00:22:20is located, who is covering these elections. Nina, what kind of conversations have been held
00:22:23in recent days, what are the expectations, what is the atmosphere
00:22:26actually like in
00:22:28Washington?
00:22:32The conversations that are taking place are not pleasant at all, namely,
00:22:36what other presidents of the United States of
00:22:39America did not do, Donald Trump, of course,
00:22:42did, he got involved in this campaign, very personally, very directly,
00:22:46he visited the federal states, even those where
00:22:50Republicans dominated, and actually sent different
00:22:53messages, he told citizens very clearly, act as if
00:22:57it's about me, act as if my name is on
00:23:01those ballots. He called Democrats all the time,
00:23:04he still does, communists, he said that
00:23:07America would also go to hell if they don't
00:23:11actually vote for Donald Trump, sometimes not even
00:23:14for Republicans, that they are jihadists, so
00:23:18what is the atmosphere like, very. heated on one side, he sends these
00:23:21ideological messages, on the other hand, what citizens tell us, what
00:23:25we had, of course, earlier in the program, is that we
00:23:28are only interested in how we will get to the end of the month, everything is expensive for us, rent is
00:23:32expensive, loans are big, we cannot
00:23:35pay, for example, for fuel, which is very important to Americans,
00:23:38these are big cities, large distances, they are used to relatively
00:23:42cheap fuel from our perspective. Donald
00:23:46Trump does not address that clearly when it comes to the economy.
00:23:50He says everything is great, everything is wonderful,
00:23:53but that means nothing to the average citizen, I will just say, for example, that
00:23:57diesel has become exactly in one year, more than
00:24:0170% more expensive, imagine what the costs are for someone who is
00:24:05involved, for example, in agriculture, let's go back to ideological topics,
00:24:08a particular thorn in his side is El Sayed,
00:24:11the Democratic candidate for senator in the state
00:24:14of Michigan, what does he say about him? Well, for example, he says that if he
00:24:18becomes a senator, he will be the only senator who
00:24:21goes to work and has to pass through a metal
00:24:24detector every day, let's hear
00:24:28both Trump and
00:24:29Elsayer.
00:24:37has done what I've done in the last two weeks, I mean what we've done, we have
00:24:40traveled far and
00:24:42wide.
00:24:50This is actually this is our last stop, we close it down tonight,
00:24:54but we've had a great time, the people, the love in this country is is
00:24:58unbelievable, but all I'm asking you to do is one thing, get
00:25:02out and vote, because if you do, we're going to have a
00:25:05tremendous success,
00:25:09so rather than focus a distraction about who said what to
00:25:12whom, where they went, I've been consistent,
00:25:15I want to get money out of politics, I want to put
00:25:19money back in pocket. "i want medicare for all, i want to
00:25:23take on the heinous price of gas, the ridiculous price of groceries, the
00:25:26fact that people in the richest, most powerful country in the world cannot see doctor, the
00:25:30notion that we should continue to breathe unclean air or unclean
00:25:33water, that has been the focus of this campaign since april of
00:25:362025,
00:25:44what will happen in Michigan, we will see what will happen in Texas,
00:25:48where Democrats have not had." a senator since
00:25:501988, Lariko now
00:25:54has a good chance there, Latinos
00:25:57also changed their views, remember that actually
00:26:01Trump got their votes, but given
00:26:04what he is doing about deportations, people are really
00:26:08afraid, here the story is that Trump got
00:26:11Latino votes, then he
00:26:13let the Gestapo, i.e. ICE on them,
00:26:17so it will certainly be uncertain, as for
00:26:21those exit polls and predictions, a
00:26:24Democratic victory is predicted in the House of Representatives and in
00:26:27the Senate, however, it should be said that those who vote for
00:26:31Republicans do not like to reveal their opinions, that's how
00:26:34Donald Trump won, he will remember despite the polls,
00:26:38so tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and in the following days
00:26:42everything will be one big surprise.
00:26:45This was live from Washington, our reporter Nina Kljenak, who will
00:26:49cover the American midterm elections, and we certainly recommend that you
00:26:52watch a special one dedicated
00:26:55precisely to the midterm
00:26:57elections tomorrow from 8 PM.
00:27:00The United States and Iran continue to exchange messages through
00:27:04Qatari intermediaries. Tehran proposes a shortened seven-phase plan
00:27:07that would allow the opening of the Hormuz Strait within two
00:27:11days. Iran's condition remains a complete cessation of the American naval
00:27:14blockade and the fulfillment of their demands. US President
00:27:18Donald Trump reiterated that the issue of Iranian nuclear
00:27:21sites must be resolved. Iran's supreme leader warned of a fierce and
00:27:25geographically unlimited response in the event of a new attack, stating that
00:27:29the country's military production has increased sevenfold.
00:28:02an approach based on Iran's good faith that
00:28:05we announced that
00:28:08if Iran's demands are met,
00:28:11it is possible that within a short period of time,
00:28:15security will return to the Strait of Hormuz and
00:28:17the negotiation process will begin.
00:28:21All of this depends on
00:28:23the American side and how they want to
00:28:27act regarding the future
00:28:31of this process.
00:28:33The Israeli army is withdrawing from Hebron in the occupied West Bank after
00:28:37more than seven days of military operation. Governor Khaled Dudin confirmed that
00:28:41Palestinian forces have taken control and that about 3,300
00:28:45displaced residents can return to their destroyed homes.
00:28:48The operation launched after the killing of two Israeli soldiers
00:28:52included a blockade of the city and a search of hundreds of houses.
00:28:55The UN warns that residential buildings were used as military
00:28:59positions. At the same time, official data shows that
00:29:02Israeli forces and settlers carried out just over
00:29:05300 attacks in the West Bank in October, which is an increase of
