00:00:00consumer loans, we can also comment
00:00:03on that a little. Here are topics that Kyiv was left without
00:00:07defense and since Trump is hesitant
00:00:10with air defense, that is, the Patriot system,
00:00:14here is a topic that we followed today when rivers
00:00:18dry up, meaning that the Krško nuclear power plant started
00:00:21reducing the reactor's power due to fear
00:00:24related to the Sava river. Let's move on to the Jutarnji
00:00:28list. We already dealt with this topic today. That is
00:00:31Andrej Plenković's promise that
00:00:34there will be higher pensions for 200,000
00:00:38veterans. We don't know exactly what kind of package
00:00:41it is. Here, Jutarnji list says that the government rejected
00:00:45a similar model in June that was proposed, we can. We
00:00:49had Damir Bakić today, yes, we can, and we just
00:00:52discussed this topic. And here's another interesting
00:00:55consequence of the drought, that the Danube in recent
00:00:59days, as it dries up, old
00:01:03ships come out, and some bombs left from
00:01:07some past times and old
00:01:09wars. Slobodna Dalmacija, the main news
00:01:13there is also higher veteran pensions.
00:01:16We'll see, we'll see what that really means. Nobody knows
00:01:20what exactly it's about. Here's another
00:01:23interesting thing about Hvar. Hvar has, after the last few
00:01:26years, greatly changed its
00:01:30party scene, we can call it that. Parties
00:01:33have been reduced, clubs, decibels,
00:01:37and actually the type of tourism has largely
00:01:40changed. 24 sata
00:01:43puts on its front page the problem
00:01:47of scooters driven by children, who then remove
00:01:50the blocks, drive without helmets, and
00:01:53unfortunately, we now have some tragic
00:01:56fatalities. The question arises here how... how
00:02:00this will be resolved further. Here it is, this
00:02:04headline in 24 sata: no picture, no sound even on the day of the storm.
00:02:09start to affect Namely, the Prime Minister and the President of the state had General Pujo between
00:02:12them so they wouldn't sit next to each other. Glas
00:02:16Slavonije's front page states
00:02:19severe sexual abuse of a minor, a story
00:02:22that has been shaking the Požega diocese in recent days. They say
00:02:26the suspected priest was removed from service only after
00:02:30this case became public. So,
00:02:33finally, Telegram, with whose Jasmin Klarić we
00:02:37are talking to. Here's the first news about how
00:02:40the Moroccan king outsmarted the Spanish prime minister and why
00:02:43Trump became his strongest asset. Namely, in this whole
00:02:46story about Ceuta, many questions are now being raised about who really
00:02:50orchestrated those tens of thousands
00:02:54of people who very easily crossed into Ceuta.
00:02:57Are there some external geopolitical
00:03:00interests, perhaps of some other powers, and a desire for destabilization
00:03:03of Spain? Then the question also arises why would anyone have an interest
00:03:07in blocking or putting Spain in a difficult
00:03:11position? We can now,
00:03:14Jasmin, you and I, deal with all these
00:03:17topics. I know, I know that your text about parties
00:03:21in Croatia and polls was published half an hour ago. It's not
00:03:24on these front pages that we have prepared here since it's
00:03:27the latest. Maybe we also recently had some
00:03:31polls that showed a potential victory
00:03:34of the left coalition, SDP Možemo, what did you
00:03:38write about? Well, I tried to show, considering that the
00:03:42monthly polls that we constantly follow are only
00:03:45a blurred snapshot in time, they give a better picture when viewed
00:03:49over a longer period, I tried to show the
00:03:52change that occurred in this mandate, which we didn't have
00:03:55before. The right had a convincing advantage over
00:03:58the left for this entire decade, actually, since Plenković
00:04:02came to power. Uh, sometime
00:04:06at the end of 2024, that trend changed, and
00:04:09now SDP Možemo has an advantage
00:04:12everywhere around us, especially in between HDZ and the Homeland Movement. For
00:04:16a very long time now, almost two years, that advantage has
00:04:19varied from one to seven percentage points. It's currently
00:04:22around three, but when the graph is put together, you can see how it
00:04:26goes from blue to red, and I think that's
00:04:30the main reason for the nervousness that Plenković often exudes lately.
00:04:34And they also know how to read polls and trends from them.
00:04:37So do you think that these announcements,
00:04:41for example, about increasing veteran pensions yesterday in Knin, are
00:04:44really some government measures, or is it precisely about perhaps
00:04:48a little pandering? Both,
00:04:52certainly. I mean, it was pretty obvious
00:04:55already when they rejected this initiative, we can for increasing
00:04:59a part of veteran pensions that
00:05:01at some point very soon HDZ would present
00:05:05a similar initiative as its own. That is precisely what is happening,
00:05:08it was even somewhat logical that it would be ceremoniously
00:05:12presented on Victory Day in Knin. Nothing
00:05:15unexpected is happening. Will it work for HDZ?
00:05:19Will uh, in some way,
00:05:22succeed in additionally binding that population to itself? We will see. In
00:05:26any case, it seems to me that this is still a political point for Možemo, not for
00:05:29HDZ, because it is their initiative that is now
00:05:33actually posthumously being brought to life, and I think
00:05:37it is crucial that the pensions of those people who
00:05:41returned to war after the war, that is, continued to work until retirement, be
00:05:44increased. I think that is the key to the whole story, that it matters less who will
00:05:48politically profit from it.
00:05:51As for yesterday's celebration of the 31st anniversary
00:05:54of the storm, the day really
00:05:57passed without the already
00:06:00perhaps expected incidents and
00:06:04political conflicts. The only thing we had in that regard was
00:06:07the fact that the prime minister and president sat separately,
00:06:11but we really didn't have any major incidents. Miro
00:06:14Bulj removed the tape so that ordinary
00:06:18people, as he put it, would not
00:06:21be in some lower status than this elite, as
00:06:25he said, but nothing else more or less
00:06:28happened. Uh, is that story being
00:06:32washed away in some way? How do you
00:06:34see yesterday's, then of course I'd also like
00:06:38to hear these comments on Aleksandar Vučić,
00:06:41Milorad Dodik. Yes, well, it's not exactly that there were no
00:06:45incidents, there were pro-Ustaša incidents, unfortunately, every
00:06:48year, and it's obvious that they have gained
00:06:52citizenship rights, that they have actually become a part of the commemoration of the Storm, which
00:06:55plays into the hands of Vučić and Dodik whom
00:06:58you mention. Uh,
00:07:02there was shouting of "Za dom spremni" (For the homeland, ready), Škeo and Keleminac
00:07:05with their team.
00:07:08Mm, former football national team player, Jo Šimunić, who ended
00:07:12his national career due to an Ustaša incident
00:07:15after a match when he led chanting "Za dom spremni", so he got
00:07:19a 10-match ban and then he lost in all possible courts when he
00:07:23appealed that decision. Uh, he came in a "Za
00:07:26dom spremni" T-shirt, posed with Bulj and
00:07:30with the team there so
00:07:34uh, it's true these incidents are still on the sidelines, but they cast a serious
00:07:38shadow not only on the commemoration
00:07:41but on... the whole story of Victory Day on
00:07:44the Storm.
00:07:47Uh, August 5th is, I think, a holiday
00:07:51about which there are the fewest divisions in Croatia. I think everyone
00:07:55uh
00:07:57is positive towards that holiday, towards that event that
00:08:00happened. Towards, I think all of us who were
00:08:04then old enough remember
00:08:08that excitement and enthusiasm that on the
00:08:11day when it was announced that Knin was conquered, that it was liberated,
00:08:15which meant that the backbone of the rebellion in
00:08:18Croatia was broken, that more normal times were coming,
00:08:22that the war had de facto ended.
00:08:25Uh, this way in which the far-right
00:08:28tries to take that holiday for itself is very
00:08:32bad in the long run, not only for Croatia's image abroad, but also for divisions within
00:08:35Croatia. But for that, the political government that allows
00:08:39it is always most to blame, in its ok. that some things that
00:08:43should be sanctioned are sanctioned. How much
00:08:46one would say if one looks at this kind
00:08:49of symbolism, iconography that has, in the past
00:08:53few years, entered the mainstream,
00:08:56which are no longer just some
00:08:59claims just like that, but something that we see in almost
00:09:03every similar event like this. How
00:09:06problematic is it actually that it is now being presented as if HOS
00:09:10practically carried out...
00:09:12it is a falsification of history to attribute
00:09:15that HOS was the largest everything that happened unit, that
00:09:20in the war to the successes of the far
00:09:24right, and that is the stake
00:09:28in current political battles, that's simply what it's about,
00:09:32but that's simply a falsification
00:09:34of history, and I think that actually
00:09:37harms veterans the most
00:09:41and generally. It harms Croatia the most, as
00:09:45I said, both regarding its external image and
00:09:48regarding the internal balance
00:09:51of peace in society. I'm afraid that things will escalate
00:09:55further because I see no
00:09:57will in the current government to put an end
00:10:00to pro-Ustaša incidents, and if the next government
00:10:04takes a firmer stance on this, then there will be
00:10:07everything. Yes, there could be a backlash, yes,
00:10:10there could be, but at some point it has to happen.
00:10:13And is there enough
00:10:16reason, because this is about very, these
00:10:20are topics that are very emotional for people,
00:10:23deeply ingrained somewhere.
00:10:26it can cause, especially since, look, we have been living for about ten years
00:10:30in a period in which
00:10:32that kind of
00:10:35rhetoric has normalized, it has entered some sort of
00:10:38mainstream, I say it didn't exist before, but it simply wasn't nearly
00:10:42as present, yes. Here,
00:10:45now, what will the reaction be
00:10:48against those who will try to
00:10:52neutralize it, suppress it?
00:10:55"Well, we saw reactions whenever HDZ was not in power, we had
00:10:59attempts to destabilize on the street, meaning
00:11:02not uh, not
00:11:06civilian protests, but actual destabilization and threats of force.
00:11:09We had the Riva, we had threats of roadblocks
00:11:12on the highway from Hvidra during Račan's government, we had
00:11:16the tent, we had gas canisters, clashes with
00:11:19the police, we will have more of that, very likely
00:11:22in a situation when HDZ is not
00:11:25in power, mm. It's sad that all of this
00:11:29would probably be much calmer
00:11:32if HDZ decided
00:11:35to put an end to the whole story. People might
00:11:38remember when a monument to
00:11:42Mile Budak was erected overnight somewhere in
00:11:45Lika, Sanader sent bulldozers the next morning, the monument was
00:11:49demolished and that was it. There was no reaction afterwards. How different
00:11:53is this HDZ today from Tuđman's and
00:11:56Sanader's? Well, this one is significantly
00:11:59different, significantly different.
00:12:02Uh, in what way? Tuđman had
00:12:05a rather clear stance towards the extreme right. After all,
00:12:09he disbanded HOS
00:12:11during the war, he was fully aware how big of a problem
00:12:15that was for the future of Croatia at that
00:12:17time.
00:12:21Uh, during Sanader's time it was very similar,
00:12:24because Croatia was in the process of joining the European
00:12:27Union. During Tuđman's time, Croatia was seeking international
00:12:31confirmation, recognition and all the rest. Those pro-Ustaša
00:12:35incidents
00:12:37simply had to be suppressed. Now they don't have to be
00:12:40that much, because no one is judging us, and
00:12:44we don't depend on anyone as much as we depended before
00:12:4730 or 20 years ago. So
00:12:50that's perhaps some mitigating circumstance for Plenković, that's
00:12:54why he's playing a waltz
00:12:57with pro-Ustašas, but the fact is
00:13:01that it's happening, the fact is that it's bad, but
00:13:04is pro-fascism something that goes unnoticed
00:13:08in Brussels? And Brussels' worries, what's happening
00:13:11with us? Well, I mean, what was happening in Hungary all these years? Brussels
00:13:15didn't really exert itself to
00:13:19resolve that situation, because Brussels is not
00:13:22some superior
00:13:25body to Croatia. Brussels, when we talk about political power, and Croatia,
00:13:29Croatia is part of that structure that
00:13:32decides. It's much harder to
00:13:35fight for, I mean, you can't fight for an independent position when you're
00:13:39in the accession process, then you have to do what you're told if you want to join
00:13:43that club. But when you're inside, then it's a completely
00:13:46different matter. Let's return briefly
00:13:49to political parties in
00:13:52Croatia. SDP and Možemo have this
00:13:55tendency not to comment on certain
00:13:59questions for which one would expect someone who
00:14:03aspires to be in power to have
00:14:05a stance. These are some regional and foreign
00:14:09policy issues. Do you think, given that you follow this,
00:14:13that it could backfire on them? Not yet,
00:14:16but when things
00:14:19heat up sometime from next autumn onwards,
00:14:23I think they will have to have a clear stance. Not just that
00:14:27corruption is evil, that the
00:14:30situation is
00:14:33not difficult yet, but as we see from these headlines, it is potentially
00:14:36very demanding. I mean, this story about the growth
00:14:39of loans,
00:14:42uh, it won't be enough to just, to just deal with that, even though
00:14:46that must be their core
00:14:49business. They will have to have very clear stances on some foreign policy
00:14:52issues and these sensitive matters we were talking about earlier,
00:14:56with normalized extreme right. And answers will be demanded
00:15:00from them on how to resolve certain things.
00:15:03Now, part of political skill in a campaign
00:15:07is not to go into so much detail that you could excessively anger voters from
00:15:10the other side, but some stances will have to be taken. As for
00:15:14these loans, that's still something we said
00:15:17we'd comment on. Yes, that's a pretty awkward, awkward story.
00:15:21I recently, maybe a month ago, published an interview with Boris
00:15:25Lalovac, the former Minister of Finance,
00:15:28who was,
00:15:30he was actually referring to HNB reports, he didn't
00:15:34have any special statistics of his own, but... "That
00:15:38increase in loans and a slight increase in bad
00:15:41loans is very worrying, because we remember from the crisis
00:15:44of 2008, 2009
00:15:47onwards, uh, how bad it is when the dominoes
00:15:51start falling and how little it takes
00:15:54for some kind of economic
00:15:58instability to collapse the entire system if indebtedness is
00:16:02high. We currently have all the conditions
00:16:05for a perfect storm, it just needs a small external
00:16:09impulse for things to start collapsing.
00:16:12Luckily, we now have the safety net of the European
00:16:16Union, and we will more easily get out of any future
00:16:20crisis, but the fact is that many of us in
00:16:23Croatia are already over-indebted,
00:16:26that wages will not grow. Until now they grew, and
00:16:30until now, with that expected wage growth, it was possible
00:16:33to cover increased debt, but now debt is growing.
00:16:37And wages remain the same. Inflation is still very
00:16:41high, close to 4% last month, that's 100%
00:16:44more than the desired inflation rate of
00:16:482%, which is a kind of boundary to maintain
00:16:51economic vitality, so that price increases don't jeopardize standards.
00:16:55Price increases have been jeopardizing citizens' standards in this country for six years now. That was somewhat
00:16:59masked by pre-election mega wage increases, but
00:17:02that, by all accounts, will no longer happen, or it won't be nearly
00:17:06as much, so I'm afraid that Croatian debtors will have to
00:17:10face the bitter truth in the next couple of years. And
00:17:13the government's anti-inflationary measures, I know,
00:17:16it's a break, it's summer, yes, they should come into effect from
00:17:20the first month, but somehow I'm
00:17:23skeptical, because inflation wasn't from three months ago,
00:17:27inflation has been here for six years, and all the measures that the government has taken so far
00:17:30have proven to be utterly insufficient, and some of them even
00:17:34stimulated price growth." 'm
00:17:38I'm afraid that some of these proposed measures, such as increasing taxes
00:17:41for flat-rate payers, although I understand the intention to
00:17:45try to avoid undeclared work, I think
00:17:48that these could be pro-inflationary and not anti-inflationary measures, yes,
00:17:52or the question arises whether that is the main thing that needs
00:17:56to be resolved. Well, at this moment, I don't think so,
00:18:00but I don't know. Let's give them the benefit
00:18:04of the doubt, let's wait for January and then we'll see
00:18:08how much those measures will affect the inflation rate. Of course, it
00:18:11has its own life independent of the measures of the Croatian government, but it can be
00:18:15compared with other countries in the European Union, the Eurozone,
00:18:18and based on that we will see how much is left of
00:18:22Plenković's inflation. Will Ćorić's measures succeed
00:18:25in taming Plenković's inflation? Jasmin, thank
00:18:29you for this analysis. This was Jasmin Klarić from
00:18:32Telegram.
00:18:54Enjoy the flavors of Asia at a Lidl price. From
00:18:58Monday, spring rolls
00:19:002.29. Bao buns pastries euro
00:19:0469 and Chao main pasta.
00:19:0789
00:19:08cents.
00:19:12Lidl, it pays off. We present the German Vector
00:19:16vacuum cleaner with water filter. Powerful, efficient, ingeniously
00:19:20designed. This is the last vacuum cleaner you will ever
00:19:23need to buy. Old-fashioned vacuum cleaners with clogged
00:19:26dirty filters are fertile ground for germs and bacteria
00:19:30and can seriously endanger your family's health.
00:19:33The German Vector vacuum cleaner has modern technology that
00:19:37uses a new water filtration system. Vector
00:19:40powerfully sucks up all dirt and dust, and they
00:19:43remain in the water. Research has shown that unhealthy,
00:19:46disgusting dust mites are present
00:21:34We continue the conversation right on this topic, with me
00:21:38is our colleague, meteorologist Mr. Bojan Lipovščak. Mr.
00:21:41Lipovščak, welcome. Good to
00:21:44see you. Here we see it all, very
00:21:47high temperatures. I don't know. "In the last two months, I don't
00:21:51know how many times I have mentioned the phrase
00:21:54heatwave, so the question to you is, have
00:21:57heatwaves become a new normal?"
00:22:01Well, the new normal is ugly, we have an ugly
00:22:04connotation when we say new normal, I immediately think of Covid and that
00:22:08situation, it comes back to us, but unfortunately in
00:22:12meteorology it has become a reality, not a new
00:22:15new normal,
00:22:17heatwaves are getting longer."
00:22:21they last longer and have also become
00:22:23more intense. Austria broke
00:22:27temperature records this week. We predicted
00:22:31temperatures up to 40° here,
00:22:34at private meteorological, at private
00:22:37meteorological stations, these are not official stations that are not
00:22:41installed everywhere exactly according to the regulations
00:22:45of the World Meteorological Organization, it was also
00:22:4842 degrees yesterday in Slavonia and
00:22:51Baranja, which means that we have reached
00:22:54the true peak of the heatwave. Namely,
00:22:58dry warm air, this time dry air came
00:23:02from Africa, it came to our regions and we are currently
00:23:05right under the peak
00:23:08of that heatwave. It is slowly moving eastward.
00:23:12I mentioned that the air is dry because last
00:23:15heatwave we had humid air. Mhm. It was perhaps even
00:23:18harder
00:23:22for people to endure that heat, because then
00:23:25the heat index is much higher, because humidity
00:23:29acts in that way in the atmosphere that we have a feeling
00:23:32of heat that is much higher, the heat is three to four, even
00:23:36five degrees higher with a large percentage
00:23:39of humidity. What is interesting now in
00:23:43the atmosphere, the situation has
00:23:47changed in that ... the
00:23:50current is currently located somewhere
00:23:53from England across Denmark
00:23:56to uh, up to
00:24:00Scandinavia, mhm. That's the jet stream at an altitude of
00:24:0311 km above the ground. The average
00:24:07wind speed is around 200, 210
00:24:10km/h, but north of that
00:24:14jet stream is cold air, and it is slowly
00:24:17descending as the jet stream moves south. So
00:24:21that cold air continues to move south, and it will
00:24:25reach the Alps and get stuck there on the Alpine
00:24:28barrier. Now, some will cross the Alpine barrier
00:24:31and bring a change in weather to
00:24:35us, mostly it will flow towards
00:24:38uh, towards the northeast. So,
00:24:41large storms are expected uh
00:24:44soon in Slovakia, Czech Republic,
00:24:48Poland, meaning... there will be the cold front
00:24:52itself and a real clash of air
00:24:55masses. Here, smaller amounts will pass
00:24:59through, mostly through the Vienna Gate. Uh, that term
00:25:02Vienna Gate is actually the place where the Alps end
00:25:06and the Carpathians begin. There's a plain there where the Pannonian
00:25:10Pannonian plain opens up, and
00:25:13through that natural passage
00:25:17cold air penetrates and then flows
00:25:20into our regions, so there will be
00:25:23a small drop in temperature. We already expect tomorrow
00:25:27afternoon the first cloud cover in the northwestern parts
00:25:30of the interior, northern Adriatic, where there are already
00:25:34some small instabilities, but that's all
00:25:37within the air mass, meaning nothing big.
00:25:40So we are not at the end of this heatwave, the
00:25:44cooling that is coming starts tomorrow, meaning from
00:25:47tomorrow the wave, the wave is moving, so... that we are coming to
00:25:50some kind of end to this heat wave,
00:25:53however, with the rapid passage of that
00:25:56cold front that will pass north of us, we are again
00:26:00getting high pressure. we are getting
00:26:03stable weather, clear weather
00:26:06continues. high
00:26:09air temperature continues, so we will have a small cool down that will
00:26:13last three to four days, mostly it will be felt in the northwestern
00:26:17parts of the interior on the northern Adriatic, while
00:26:19the eastern parts of the interior and
00:26:23southern and central Dalmatia will remain
00:26:26spared from large temperature changes, the temperature will
00:26:29drop by two to three degrees there, here with us... it will drop by
00:26:338 degrees, mhm, but that doesn't mean that
00:26:36the heat wave has stopped, meaning temperatures will
00:26:40be around 30 degrees here, on the Adriatic it will continue to be around
00:26:4336, and
00:26:46now, these, these summers and
00:26:49these, we said, it's not a new normal, but a reality we
00:26:53are witnessing, why is that so? global
00:26:56warming was, was a term that was used, it stopped being used now,
00:27:00now these climate changes are used.
00:27:02What is this about? Global warming is
00:27:06part of climate change. What
00:27:09is, what is it all about? It is about the fact
00:27:12that the concentration
00:27:16of gases, i.e. CO2, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
00:27:20is high, and they simply
00:27:23do not allow heat to leave
00:27:25the Earth's atmosphere that, the heat that comes from
00:27:29the sun to leave the entire system, that is one of the big
00:27:33barriers. The sea started to warm up,
00:27:37the sea is abnormally warm,
00:27:39currently, currently we have the Adriatic which is three to
00:27:43four degrees warmer than some average values we had
00:27:47before, a large amount of heat is
00:27:50accumulated in the Pacific, where El
00:27:54Niño started, which will affect the weather here, but
00:27:57not yet, it will affect us in about
00:28:01three to four months, meaning late
00:28:04autumn, early winter is the effect of El Niño,
00:28:08El Niño on Europe, it will now first
00:28:11the Pacific, Indo-
00:28:14China, Japan, and then it will move to America, its
00:28:18effect is gradual, it is, it is a
00:28:22process in the atmosphere that is taking place, and what are its,
00:28:25its effects, for example here when it comes, the effects here will be that it will
00:28:29be warmer and uh all...
00:28:33numerical models for medium-range and long-range
00:28:36weather forecasts already feel that
00:28:39physical impulse that comes from
00:28:43warm air, i.e. from the increase in temperature
00:28:46that is associated with the increase in temperature due to
00:28:49El Niño, mhm, so we expect that
00:28:52towards the end of the year, warmer
00:28:56weather will persist than usual, meaning
00:28:59with temperatures up to 1.5 to 3 degrees
00:29:03higher than usual,
00:29:06meaning we can expect a long warm autumn and
00:29:09a mild start to winter in terms of
00:29:12temperature, but in terms of precipitation, the models
00:29:16are quite varied, namely
00:29:18the results of the models we calculate so-called
00:29:22ensemble forecasts where the same model is
00:29:25run 50 times, but with different
00:29:29initial conditions, mhm, if the
00:29:32initial conditions change, then the outputs from the model are also different, so
00:29:36then we look at how much deviation there is when
00:29:39something changes in the initial conditions, here with
00:29:41the precipitation system, the deviation is quite
00:29:44large, so the problem is actually
00:29:48in the Mediterranean Sea, we go back then from global, we have to
00:29:52go back to a lower scale, I just had a question for
00:29:55you about the Mediterranean, to a lower scale, namely when you look at the climate
00:29:59overall, then you have more, you have different
00:30:02influences that affect the weather here, because what we
00:30:06look at as weather is something that in our
00:30:09synoptic scales is a one-day forecast, that is, the weather
00:30:13forecast for one to seven days, that is synoptic, above
00:30:17that we already come to a medium-range weather
00:30:20forecast that has a validity of 12 days, but there we already have to look at
00:30:24all of Europe, the Northern Hemisphere, when we switch
00:30:27to climate modeling for
00:30:30periods of six months, then
00:30:33we have to take the entire Earth globally with all its
00:30:37weather systems that are currently on Earth, and
00:30:40then we simulate how that would
00:30:43evolve over time, what happens with that
00:30:47amount of energy that we have in the system. now the problem
00:30:51with autumn is that the Mediterranean is very
00:30:54warm, warm Mediterranean can
00:30:57cause uh rapid phenomena.
