00:00:00this can be moved, this year
00:00:03the mass was held earlier before the main central event itself, so
00:00:07we can say, this caused some
00:00:10positive, as far as I can see, positive reactions specifically among the veteran
00:00:13population, because it was a more decent time before
00:00:17the great heat, the mass was held, so that
00:00:20it's practically easier to breathe, the mornings are much colder, I have to
00:00:23ask you, you've been for two years, you've been mayor for two consecutive terms,
00:00:27before that you were also deputy mayor.
00:00:30"You've been here for many years, Croats and Serbs live here in
00:00:33coexistence for many years, so considering
00:00:38we should deal with that and that your citizens are both Croats and Serbs, how do you view these messages that
00:00:40are coming from Serbia, specifically from Aleksandar Vučić who does not want to
00:00:44recognize Operation Storm? Well, I think he
00:00:48does that for his political situation there in Serbia, every
00:00:51year we are witnesses of such statements, they
00:00:55don't benefit us in any way, they bring neither any benefit, nor
00:00:59any harm. "Uh, he does that for some of his
00:01:02internal political squabbles there in Serbia, that
00:01:06is his right, that is something that we cannot
00:01:08affect, something that we cannot influence, I must say
00:01:12that the locals here, both Croats and Serbs,
00:01:15believe that uh, Operation Storm was a
00:01:18legitimate operation according to what information I have,
00:01:22and that it brought peace, which is most important, not only here in Knin, but in
00:01:26all of Croatia. Mr. Čačić, thank you very much for this interview." Thank
00:01:30you, well, for the end, I will just emphasize that at 6 o'clock in
00:01:33the streets of Knin, a Torcida procession is expected, this
00:01:37has been happening for the last three years, in the evening here on
00:01:40the square there will be a concert by "Croatian Roses" and "Silent
00:02:00The 31st anniversary of Operation Storm once again brought
00:02:04messages from neighboring Serbia. The central point of this year's
00:02:08discussions was the arrival of diplomatic representatives of Montenegro
00:02:11at the celebration in Knin. This move provoked sharp reactions in Belgrade
00:02:15and Banja Luka. While official Podgorica views the arrival as part
00:02:18of usual diplomatic practice and building good-neighborly relations,
00:02:22Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and former President
00:02:27Salvation Army workers distributing food and of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik openly call this act
00:02:30betrayal and an attack on Serbian victims. A quick response came from Knin.
00:02:34odgovoreno.
00:02:39The 31st anniversary of military-police Operation
00:02:42Storm was marked peacefully and with dignity, but in the background
00:02:46of the ceremony there were new regional tremors. The presence
00:02:49of the Montenegrin embassy in Knin raised the political temperature in
00:02:53Podgorica, Belgrade, Banja Luka relations. Serbian
00:02:57President Aleksandar Vučić criticized Montenegro for sending
00:03:01a representative to Knin, but not to the commemoration for Serbian victims
00:03:04in Mrkonjić Grad. Thank you to the Government of Montenegro,
00:03:08this is not the end, this is just the beginning
00:03:11of such decisions, they will have many more such decisions in
00:03:15the future, things will not
00:03:17change, things will only get worse and worse. Last year
00:03:21the then Minister of Defense Dragan Krapović rejected the invitation,
00:03:24information, follow of course on citing the historical and regional context and the sensitivity of the topic.
00:03:28Vučić's harsh words immediately.
00:03:32"I love Montenegro for my own reasons, but
00:03:36I don't like it the way it is, traitorous, I have the right to say that, regardless
00:03:39of what anyone will say that he interferes, because they interfere with our pain,
00:03:43they are directly stabbing a knife into our heart, because
00:03:47they are going and standing there on the side of those who ethnically cleansed
00:03:50the Serb Republic of Krajina," Podgorica says that
00:03:54it is about respecting the host country and being oriented
00:03:57towards the European future, regional stability.
00:04:01The presence of representatives of diplomatic and consular missions at official
00:04:04state commemorations of the host country represents standard
00:04:07diplomatic practice, especially between neighboring allied countries within
00:04:11NATO. Such participation reflects respect for the host
00:04:15country and its institutions, as well as
00:04:17Montenegro's commitment to fostering good-neighborly
00:04:20relations, open dialogue and regional
00:04:23cooperation. Operation Storm was a legitimate operation that
00:04:27restored the country's sovereignty, the arrival of diplomats
00:04:30from Montenegro is a civilized act and respect for the international order,
00:04:34said the Croatian Minister of Foreign Affairs. All countries have
00:04:38accredited their ambassadors, I don't see
00:04:42any astonishment as to why someone should be and
00:04:45someone shouldn't, so all those who respect Croatian laws,
00:04:49which is implied, and Croatian
00:04:53holidays, festivals are welcome. Vučić continued this year
00:04:57with messages that Operation Storm was a crime that Serbs must
00:05:01not forget, I guarantee you that nowhere else in
00:05:05Republika Srpska or on
00:05:07any part of the territory of Serbia will there be
00:05:11any Operation Storm. "Pogroms and suffering of the Serbian
00:05:14people, Serbia is strong enough, I can tell you that
00:05:18today, it will preserve and protect
00:05:22its people." In Knin, Vučić's repetition of similar
00:05:25messages year after year did not surprise anyone, not even the state leadership.
00:05:29It is not necessary for everyone to see history in the same way, but
00:05:33I also think that we should not react to every
00:05:36nonsense, verbal nonsense that comes
00:05:40across the Danube, it will come all the time. However, what
00:05:43is done in the material sphere, that is,
00:05:47pardon me, armament, well,
00:05:50we should pay attention to that. We don't threaten
00:05:53anyone, but we don't fear anyone. We will know
00:05:57how to respond to every threat. Croatia
00:06:01will never again be unprepared or unprotected.
00:06:05If we want peace, we must be able to defend it. Given
00:06:08such inflammatory rhetoric, which in many ways resembles what happened
00:06:12in the 80s, we must be ready, and what we saw
00:06:16today really makes it seem that Croatia is a strong
00:06:19country that can retaliate against any
00:06:22potential, against any potential threat. Regarding the messages sent by
00:06:25Aleksandar Vučić, but also what Operation Storm was, coalition
00:06:29partners and the opposition agree. Croats never
00:06:32conquered, Croats defended themselves, as long as they
00:06:35are peaceful across the Drina and have no
00:06:38pretensions, we will build
00:06:41and gentlemen. and interpersonal relations of every other kind,
00:06:45as they say, there will be no storms as long as they
00:06:48sit peacefully and mind their own business, but
00:06:52if there is a need, there will be storms, look, they got a beating in
00:06:55'95, so they are hurting, they
00:06:58are in pain and I am sorry that it is so, there are certainly a large number of people in Serbia
00:07:02who are normal, who respect realities and want normal
00:07:05relations, but unfortunately those who obviously don't want
00:07:09it dominate, history will show that Aleksandar Vučić is actually the biggest
00:07:12problem of Serbia and its citizens, and for 10 years he has been showing a clear
00:07:16tendency to write some new history of Serbia, Croatia, these
00:07:19parts of Europe and the world, he
00:07:22has gotten into this role of some kind of world director, good luck to him, we don't
00:07:26care, we don't care about them, let them cry as they
00:07:29say, there you go. Nataša Vidaković, N1,
00:07:33Zagreb.
00:07:37The speaker in Knin, Prime Minister Plenković, also used the opportunity to
00:07:40announce an increase in veterans' pensions. Here's what he
00:07:43said exactly.
00:07:46This autumn, the government will submit amendments to two
00:07:50laws to the Croatian Parliament, which will introduce an addition to
00:07:53pensions, the amount of which will depend on the length of participation
00:07:56in the defense of Croatia's sovereignty.
00:08:00Also, according to the same criterion, we will increase
00:08:03the lowest veterans' pensions. And after
00:08:06we abolished two previous reductions in 2017 and
00:08:092022, we will abolish the last remaining
00:08:13reduction of pensions for members of the army,
00:08:16police, and other authorized official persons introduced in
00:08:202002. With these amendments, we will cover
00:08:23approximately 200,000
00:08:27Croatian veterans.
00:08:40Due to drought and high temperatures,
00:08:43the Krško Nuclear Power Plant will begin reducing the reactor's power tonight,
00:08:46it will operate at a reduced power of 80%,
00:08:49further reductions are not excluded, here's what they announced from Krško.
00:08:53poručili.
00:08:57Due to the continuation of exceptional hydrological and meteorological conditions
00:09:00on the Sava River, the Krško Nuclear Power Plant will, as announced, start
00:09:03gradually reducing the reactor's power on
00:09:07Thursday night. In the first step, the power will be reduced to
00:09:1080%. This is a planned, controlled,
00:09:13temporary measure that is necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions
00:09:17of the environmental permit, according to which the daily average temperature of the Sava
00:09:21River at the point of complete mixing downstream from the Brežice hydroelectric power plant
00:09:25must not exceed 28°C, and the average daily increase
00:09:29in temperature must not be greater than 3°C. If the
00:09:32current hydrological and meteorological conditions continue and further
00:09:36worsen, the NPP will continue to further reduce the
00:09:40reactor's power.
00:09:43Minister of Economy Ante Šušnjer was asked today what the
00:09:46consequences would be and whether electricity prices could
00:09:49increase?
00:09:53It's about environmental requirements that will be slightly
00:09:57remodelled because we are in extreme weather
00:10:00conditions, uh, the Krško nuclear power plant certainly
00:10:03works, it produces energy, if today
00:10:07that solution is adopted, according to the announcements of colleagues from Slovenia,
00:10:10there should be no power reduction. And we'll see how the
00:10:14thermal situation
00:10:17develops in this part of the world,
00:10:20Europe, so we will act accordingly,
00:10:23however, for now, mm... mm the Krško nuclear power plant
00:10:27is certainly working and there are no reductions, can electricity prices increase?
00:10:30No, prices cannot increase, we take
00:10:34care of the security of supply, mm, the supply in
00:10:38the Republic of Croatia is secure, we have
00:10:41stable production and exchange
00:10:42in
00:10:45Croatia, the peak of the heatwave for the whole country, a red
00:10:49warning is in force, which means that the weather is extremely dangerous and that citizens
00:10:53should beware of heatwaves. Temperatures today in most of the country were from
00:10:5636 to 39, from Croatian Railways
00:10:59Infrastructure they announced that the heat warms up the tracks even above
00:11:0360°, so they are carrying out increased supervision
00:11:06of the condition of the tracks. It's not any easier in the rest of Europe, further,
00:11:10they are battling a heatwave,
00:11:22Veterans' Day, and the 31st Anniversary of the military and police operation
00:11:26Storm were celebrated in Knin with a temperature of
00:11:2936°C.
00:11:33It was not easy for the state leadership to
00:11:35endure the heat.
00:11:39A red warning is in effect for the entire country. This means that the weather
00:11:43is extremely dangerous and that citizens today and tomorrow should beware of
00:11:46heatwaves. Ishađaje Infrastructure says that
00:11:49the heat heats up the tracks even above 60°, so they are conducting
00:11:53increased monitoring of the condition of the tracks. In case of track deformation,
00:11:57train speeds are temporarily restricted or the line is closed,
00:12:00which can cause delays.
00:12:04It is not any easier in the rest of Europe. Italy is facing a
00:12:07heatwave due to which a red alert is in force in 25 cities,
00:12:10and tomorrow the warning will extend to a total of 27
00:12:14cities. Three new deaths have been recorded, suspected
00:12:18to be related to the extreme heat, it's hellishly hot in
00:12:22the Vatican.
00:12:25very strong, so we are somewhat accustomed, but the truth is it is very
00:12:28hot, especially because of the humidity, it is very
00:12:31humid. When we landed yesterday it was very, very
00:12:35hot, the temperature I think in London has dropped a bit, has
00:12:38deepened, but 20, 26,
00:12:4127.
00:12:45and the mercury in Prague exceeded 33 degrees. Homeless people
00:12:49are particularly affected, with
00:12:52water to them. for the last two streets,
00:12:56it was the worst for me, the second thing is that the heat
00:12:59is unbearable, so I liked the idea
00:13:02that, uh, Prague introduced some places where you can
00:13:06cool down, that's about all I struggle with,
00:13:10so, to cool down, I go
00:13:13swimming in the cold water of the Vltava, so
00:13:17we swim, cool down, then we sit down for a cold
00:13:21beer, for example, well, and mostly we sit at home like...
00:13:28Europe, the continent that is heating up the fastest, this summer is affected by
00:13:31record heatwaves and devastating forest fires, which have
00:13:35especially affected France and Spain and, of course,
00:13:38Greece.
00:13:41Obviously the emphasis will be placed on West
00:13:45Attica, so that we can
00:13:48ensure that all restoration works will
00:13:52be completed within the specified deadlines. In
00:13:55Italy, by Lake Como, firefighters have been trying to contain the
00:13:59rampant fire since yesterday.
00:14:03Animals are also affected by the heat. The rare European bison in Serbia
00:14:06is thus left without the necessary puddles from which it drinks water and in which it
00:14:10cools itself. When such periods occur,
00:14:14then we face a problem, because,
00:14:16I say, for example, a cow in such conditions
00:14:20drinks 80 to 150 liters of water per day.
00:14:23However, the worst is yet to come tomorrow, parts of Croatia
00:14:27are threatened with up to 42°C during the day, and nighttime temperatures
00:14:31will not drop below 22 degrees. The good
00:14:34news is that we only need to endure one more day. After that,
00:14:38the hellish heat will
00:15:01Almost three years after Israeli bombs hit a residential
00:15:04building in Gaza City, 112 Palestinians killed in the
00:15:08attack were buried in a mass funeral
00:15:11ceremony. Gaza civil defense personnel last month
00:15:14began searching the ruins to find
00:15:17their remains, but dozens of bodies have still
00:15:21not been found.
00:15:25Everybody! Draped in Palestinian flags, the remains of
00:15:28112 people are carried through the war-torn streets of
00:15:32Gaza City. This funeral procession is nearly
00:15:36three years overdue. The 112 men,
00:15:40women, and children being buried today, were killed in
00:15:43November 2023, when Israeli
00:15:45bombs struck a residential block in this same
00:15:48city. Search and rescue teams were only able to begin
00:15:52recovering bodies from the rubble last month. Nearly three
00:15:56weeks later, Gaza's civil defense spokesman says they recovered
00:15:59the remains of 112 people, dozens more could
00:16:03not be found.
00:16:37large Palestinian families, one of which is tied to the Mujahidin
00:16:41Brigades, a Palestinian militant group. The Israeli
00:16:45military has not publicly identified any militants killed
00:16:48in that strike. Many more bodies are still trapped beneath
00:16:52the rubble, some 8,000 according to Gaza's civil
00:16:55defense.
00:16:59And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement regarding
00:17:03the Gaza agreement promoted by US President Donald Trump. In
00:17:06his video, not
00:17:37I think they think they can make
00:17:40Hamas disarm and demilitarize
00:17:44Gaza. We are checking it. They sent us
00:17:47an offer. We did not agree to it. It's not our offer.
00:17:50We sent our comments. By the way, we sent our comments before
00:17:54we received a media campaign on the matter. This is our
00:17:57position.
00:18:07Donald Trump, which he expressed in an interview with Fox News. Trump
00:18:11added that good talks are underway, but that Tehran
00:18:14wants to reach an agreement. According to the Axios website, which cites
00:18:18sources from the region, a temporary sixty-day agreement is being discussed
00:18:22that would regulate passage through the strait between Iran
00:18:25and Oman. This preliminary agreement, which could
00:18:29be announced as early as today, they state, according to Axios,
00:18:32stipulates that all maritime traffic entering the strait will use
00:18:35the northern route through Iranian
00:18:38waters. All ships exiting will follow the southern route through Omani waters
00:18:41without paying fees. Until a final agreement is reached, the central
00:18:45part of the strait should be cleared of mines. Axios warns that
00:18:49this compromise has not yet been
00:18:50finalized.
00:18:53The strait's going to be open very soon or they're going to get hit very
00:18:57hard and then the strait is going to be open. We were going to a
00:19:00tremendous attack, the biggest since World War
00:19:02II.
00:19:07Can we talk? They didn't want and I said, "Yes, we can
00:19:11talk, let's get it done, finally, let's get it done."
00:19:14They backed out again, are they done? Well, if they back out
00:19:18again, they're going to get hit really hard, they know that, they understand
00:19:21that.
00:19:24A new Russian attack on Kyiv, in which 17 people were killed
00:19:27overnight and dozens were injured, Ukrainian emergency officials
00:19:31reported. The attack damaged warehouses and other facilities, and
00:19:35rescue teams are still searching for possible survivors under
00:19:38the rubble. The air raid siren in the capital lasted for more than an hour,
00:19:41seven locations were hit. The Russian Ministry
00:19:45of Defense announced that the targets were logistical and supply centers
00:19:48which they claim are used for military purposes. The attack caused
00:19:52fires in warehouses, and an ammonia leak was also reported,
00:19:56which emergency services have been dealing with all
00:19:59day.
00:20:03After yesterday's EU meeting and the decision to strengthen
00:20:06the protection of the Union's external borders and accelerate the return of those who have no right
00:20:10to stay due to the migration crisis in Ceuta. Spanish authorities
00:20:14state that the situation at the border is mostly under control now.
00:20:17Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande said that about
00:20:2170,000 of the approximately 72,000
00:20:24migrants who illegally entered there in recent days have already returned
00:20:28to Morocco and that the situation at the border is mostly under control. According to
00:20:32data from the central authorities, about 2,500 migrants
00:20:35are still in Ceuta, while local authorities estimate that there are
00:20:39between three and five thousand, at least one thousand of whom are minors.
00:20:42At the same time, authorities confirmed that at least 75 people
00:20:46died during the mass border crossing, while official data
00:20:49states that more than 80 people lost
00:20:53their lives by drowning or in the stampede.
00:26:32And tomorrow it will be unpleasantly hot, then by the end of the
00:26:36week it should cool down a bit, primarily in the interior of the
00:26:40country. A more detailed forecast
00:26:46viewers. The peak of the heat is right above
00:26:49us, today and tomorrow. Therefore, for these two days, the State
00:26:52Hydrometeorological Institute has issued a red weather alert for
00:26:56the entire Croatia due to extremely high temperatures. All
00:27:00of this is a consequence of the multi-day maintenance of a stable
00:27:03and dry anticyclone over our part of Europe, which brings
00:27:07clear days, long days full of sun, and at the same time it draws in
00:27:11hot air originating from North Africa, so in that combination we have
00:27:15these extremely high temperatures and drought. Similarly,
00:27:18it will be during Thursday, dry, sunny and hot, as
00:27:21in previous days there may be moderate cloud development,
00:27:25mainly in the afternoon in the mountainous areas of inner
00:27:29Dalmatia, Lika and Gorski Kotar up to Učka. In that Dinaric
00:27:33belt, there is also a possibility of some scattered short local showers,
00:27:37but in most parts of the country, Thursday will also be
00:27:40sunny. Night temperatures on the mainland will be relatively pleasant,
00:27:43mostly slightly below 20 degrees Celsius, on the Adriatic from
00:27:4722 to 27. Daytime
00:27:50temperatures will be very high, it will be another unpleasantly hot day like an
00:27:53oven with temperatures between 35-40
00:27:57degrees Celsius. On the mainland, mostly weak easterly or southeasterly
00:28:01wind, and during the day. along the coast a mostly moderate
00:28:04southwesterly wind will blow, we also follow sea temperatures which are increasing day by
00:28:08day, it is rare for the entire Adriatic to be so warm with
00:28:12numbers around 28 degrees Celsius. And
00:28:15rivers have also heated up, the fact that the Danube in
00:28:19Vukovar reached as much as 32 degrees Celsius is fascinating,
00:28:22of course, this is a consequence of this long-lasting heatwave, but also of extremely
00:28:26low water levels. In the coming days, the heat in the interior
00:28:29will nevertheless ease slightly, during Friday and Saturday there is a
00:28:33possibility of some local showers, this will be a rare occurrence, there will be no
