00:00:19Dear viewers, good day, I am Marinela Ruškovački and the review of the
00:00:23day is starting, here is what
00:00:24we are bringing.
00:00:28USKOK has published the results of the expert analysis in the case of illegal waste disposal
00:00:32in Gospić which confirm serious environmental pollution,
00:00:35experts warn that the pollution has already caused permanent
00:00:39consequences and that without urgent remediation, further spread and threat
00:00:42to human health are imminent. Citizens demand urgent
00:00:45reactions.
00:00:48So, a man for some miserable money
00:00:52sold the lives of us, our children,
00:00:55our future, the future of the region. Now it's confirmed
00:00:58now I just want to know. When, what,
00:01:02here on the how.
00:01:05Across Europe, there are still major problems due to historically low river levels and
00:01:08high temperatures in some countries and new electricity saving measures. We investigated
00:01:12if a similar
00:01:14scenario awaits us.
00:01:17The Danube near Vukovar stopped ships, it is expected
00:01:20that the situation will not improve so soon, in fact, for weeks,
00:01:24the port is already suffering
00:01:25consequences.
00:01:29arbitrary and related to Zlatko Dalić. decided to return to the United Arab Emirates,
00:01:33this time as a coach, a contract of 5 million
00:01:36euros per year awaits him.
00:01:52USKOK announced today, as they stated, due to public interest, the
00:01:55results of the environmental protection expert analysis in the case of
00:01:59illegal waste disposal in Gospić, in which the
00:02:02married couple Šincek is suspected. The published findings confirm that the area
00:02:06of the industrial complex is significantly contaminated. The finding that was
00:02:09published is truly alarming. There is
00:02:12great damage to the environment, but also danger to people.
00:02:16Urgent remediation is needed. Residents who have long
00:02:19warned that their health is threatened, are embittered, but not
00:02:23surprised, they only have one question, what
00:02:26now?
00:02:28A year and a half after the affair of illegal medical waste disposal was discovered,
00:02:32USKOK published the results of the expert analysis on as many as
00:02:36365 pages. The analyses
00:02:39showed extremely elevated concentrations of harmful substances such as
00:02:43copper, zinc, lead and antimony. The conclusion
00:02:46of the expert analysis is that it is a locally significant progressive
00:02:49pollution that has already caused permanent changes in
00:02:52the environment. It is warned that without remediation, the landfill
00:02:56will remain a permanent source of pollution with possible consequences for the
00:03:00environment and human health. For residents living near
00:03:03the landfill, fear has now received official confirmation.
00:03:07I am extremely afraid primarily for my children and for all the children
00:03:10of this city, because they did not deserve for
00:03:14something to happen that they die in agony, that their parents
00:03:18watch their suffering or that something happens to their parents, that is, us,
00:03:21that these children live without us. I think that we live
00:03:25honestly, that we try, that we definitely did not deserve this, because
00:03:29I said the same thing. This was not some kind of disaster that
00:03:32you couldn't influence, this is a human act, so a man for some
00:03:36miserable money, sold
00:03:40our lives, our children's lives, our future,
00:03:43the future of the image. The expert analysis shows that the problem did not remain
00:03:47only at the place where the waste was buried. In the groundwater,
00:03:50downstream from the landfill, PFAS compounds were found
00:03:54known as eternal chemicals, while in the water
00:03:57from the public water supply system, no exceedances of
00:04:00permitted values have been detected so far, but citizens
00:04:03fear that the consequences of pollution will not remain
00:04:06limited to only this location, the water is as it is,
00:04:11rivers and sources and we are not all able to buy it, I and my family, we still
00:04:14drink it, eventually we treat ourselves sometimes,
00:04:17we buy water and so on, however, it's not just water, where's
00:04:20the garden, where's the vegetable patch, where's the m,
00:04:24so our crops, where's all that we water with this same
00:04:28water and...
00:04:30So, every such product, every such fruit or vegetable, we
00:04:34consume it again. The published
00:04:36findings did not surprise the mayor of Gospić, but
00:04:40he says that remediation should be started as soon as possible. What is
00:04:43good is that no harmful compounds were found upstream, which means,
00:04:47I spoke about it, that the people of Gospić drink
00:04:50clean water, downstream certain concentrations of harmful
00:04:54compounds were found, however the report says, this did not have
00:04:58an impact on... on human health, because this water
00:05:02is not used in the public water supply for
00:05:06drinking. This is not just a problem for Gospić, this is a problem for all surrounding
00:05:09places and for our Senj and for Otočac. And we cannot
00:05:13be happy because it goes downstream and someone else will suffer, so we are equally
00:05:17worried about all the inhabitants of Lika. The Civic Initiative
00:05:20Gospić Our Home has been warning about this case for years, and
00:05:23they also organized a protest and they ask how it is possible that no one
00:05:27has reacted yet. It is sad actually that to this day
00:05:31and they should already tomorrow all public
00:05:35health bodies in the Republic of Croatia, from the Ministry
00:05:38of Health to the Institute of Public Health Andrija Štampar and all.
00:05:42"they must give the citizens of Gospić and Lika guidelines
00:05:46on how to behave on these conclusions from the findings of the opinion.
00:05:49It is sad that a year and a half from the day the affair was discovered
00:05:53there was no synergy of all state
00:05:56bodies to protect their citizens, that is their duty, they receive
00:06:00a salary for that. Urgent remediation and urgent public
00:06:03health instructions to the citizens of Gospić and Lika on how to
00:06:07behave, not only Lika and the Croatian islands of Rab and
00:06:10Pag, given that they are supplied with water from Lika
00:06:14waterworks, from Lika groundwater that
00:06:17flows downstream. The publication of the findings caused new
00:06:20political reactions. Most announces criminal charges against
00:06:24all those who they believe participated in illegal
00:06:27waste disposal or knew about it and did not
00:06:30react. On August 1st, we announced criminal
00:06:33charges that will cover all actors
00:06:36who participated in it, from the companies that are
00:06:40in the USKOK protocol. to Šincek and
00:06:43his resource type, to local self-government, all
00:06:46mayors and county prefects who participated in it, and even the
00:06:50drivers who received money so that the waste could be
00:06:53dumped in Gospić. At least
00:06:5537 tons of waste are still located in the Gospić
00:06:59area. More than a year and a half after the affair was discovered,
00:07:03not a single kilogram has been removed, after the published expert analysis,
00:07:06it is clear that the problem is much wider than Gospić itself. Katarina

00:07:25JANAF and MOL have reached an agreement on continued cooperation and signed
00:07:29a contract for the transport of 2.05 million tons
00:07:32of crude oil throughout 2026,
00:07:35Jutarnji list announced. This concluded several months of negotiations between the two
00:07:39companies. The contract covers the period from January 1st to
00:07:42December 31st 2026.
00:07:45It is based on the principle of "fill or pay", meaning that MOL pays for
00:07:49the contracted transport capacities, regardless of whether
00:07:52it will fully utilize them. The agreement comes
00:07:56after lengthy negotiations during which MOL claimed that JANAF's
00:07:59prices were too high and
00:08:02of the Croatian oil pipeline. JANAF rejected these accusations, stating that
00:08:06the prices are transparent and equal for all users. The negotiations were
00:08:10further burdened by a political dimension. after Hungary accused Croatia
00:08:14of exploiting the situation caused by the restriction of Russian oil transit
00:08:18through Ukraine, which the Croatian government rejected.
00:08:35It is the peak of the heatwave, Croatia is extremely
00:08:38hot today, temperatures are everywhere between
00:08:4235 and 39 degrees, and the red
00:08:46weather alert is still valid for the entire country today. Towards the end of the day, in
00:08:49the interior of Istria and Dalmatia, with an expected stronger cloud development,
00:08:53local thunderstorms are possible, as
00:08:57well as in mountainous
00:08:58Croatia.
00:09:03We will certainly bring a more detailed forecast later in the broadcast. Due to the heatwave, the
00:09:07Krško nuclear power plant is operating at 80%
00:09:10reactor power today. However. not because it has cooling problems, but because
00:09:14the Sava is not heated above the legally permitted level. The
00:09:18power plant states that in case of need, it will react again and
00:09:21reduce capacity. Croatian electricity company says
00:09:25that supply is not threatened by this. Temperatures were extremely
00:09:28high across the country today, despite lines
00:09:31of unstable weather that will reach us tomorrow,
00:09:35we could wait for real cooling even until September
00:09:391st. Andrej Dimitrijević brings the story.
00:09:44As the heatwave further heated the Sava River, the Krško
00:09:47nuclear power plant is operating today at 80% reactor
00:09:50power, not because it has cooling problems, but to prevent the Sava from heating
00:09:54above the legally permitted level. If the current
00:09:57hydrological and meteorological conditions continue and further worsen, the Krško
00:10:01nuclear power plant will continue to further reduce reactor
00:10:04power. The Krško nuclear power plant will operate at full
00:10:07power again when conditions allow. From Croatian electricity
00:10:11company. they say that supply is not threatened
00:10:14by this. HEP continuously monitors the situation in the domestic
00:10:18and regional electricity system and manages the production
00:10:21portfolio and electricity procurement to ensure
00:10:25reliable, safe and stable supply to its
00:10:28customers in all circumstances.
00:10:32as if they were in an oven, everyone who had to go out
00:10:35on the street today felt it, in Zagreb the temperature exceeded
00:10:3837°, citizens are aware that these
00:10:41temperatures are not to be taken lightly, I don't go out much
00:10:45so I can endure it, how do you
00:10:48cool off, at home, I don't have air conditioning, but at home,
00:10:51at home, it's not that it's a little hot, but... you have to
00:10:55drink water, and so
00:10:59do everything until 10, 11 o'clock and that's it, no more
00:11:02walking, some, however, do not have that luxury,
00:11:06bread must be earned, even in the heat,
00:11:09slowly, we cool off with cold drinks and so on in the shade
00:11:13under an umbrella and so on, how long have you been here every
00:11:16day? until two o'clock until 14, meaning you have to work
00:11:19in pretty strong sun in the heat, well, it's 308, so it's not
00:11:23easy, and... Atmospheric physicist Grizo Gonjo says that this
00:11:27heatwave is a consequence of global warming, but also of atmospheric
00:11:31conditions. The climate is not in a stationary state,
00:11:34meaning global warming is occurring, which then intensifies
00:11:38the effects, especially in Western Europe, Portugal,
00:11:41Spain, France, Italy, Greece, even then in
00:11:45Croatia, there were heatwaves before, but usually they wouldn't last
00:11:48for two weeks, we
00:11:52know that Croatia has the biggest general damages. Also from droughts,
00:11:56this is now intensifying, he says that because of this it would be wise to invest in
00:11:59a safer and stronger water supply system, to better plan traffic and
00:12:03to water critical areas on the coast in advance with Canadair planes,
00:12:06he adds that in such situations we all need to start from
00:12:10ourselves, careful with waste, careful with
00:12:13water, don't play too long under the shower
00:12:16and plan turning on the air conditioning
00:12:20and fans,
00:12:23meaning... That then goes into traffic
00:12:27and air conditioners in cars,
00:12:30transport, simply optimization and wherever
00:12:33possible minimization. Meteorologist Lipovčak says that we will
00:12:37fully breathe a sigh of relief only for the Feast of the Assumption. However,
00:12:41the next two days will still be somewhat cooler temperatures.
00:12:44Currently, there is a weakened cold front on the
00:12:47northern side of the Alps, it will only brush us with its tail,
00:12:51so it will cause a little cloudiness tomorrow.
00:12:55afternoon in the northwestern parts of the interior on the
00:12:59northern Adriatic, there may be local
00:13:03thunderstorms, a little wind, but
00:13:06we expect significantly, it is not
00:13:09a real front, but there will be lines of instability, but
00:13:13that means that temperatures will drop by at most 6°C and
00:13:16remain around +30, it is not
00:13:19much, but in such conditions it is better than
00:13:22nothing. Andri Dimitrijević. N1,
00:13:26Zagreb.
00:13:29And Hungary and Romania are forced to go further with savings due to
00:13:32extremely low river levels, a new decision is to turn off decorative lighting
00:13:36in all state institutions at night. Record low
00:13:39water levels of the Danube force authorities. To new
00:13:42saving measures, Romania has declared an emergency
00:13:45situation. Nuclear power plants in Hungary and Romania are operating at
00:13:49reduced capacity because water from the Danube is used to cool
00:13:53reactors. Hungarian companies.
00:14:55this whole current situation, I think this is
00:14:57absolutely correct, and I agree
00:15:00with it.
00:15:03that would suck, you know what i mean? but i don't the nuances, so like let's say that
00:15:07like there's actually a good reason for why that the
00:15:11city is proposing and there's evidence for that, then you
00:15:13know righteous reason triumphs
00:15:16over you know just enjoyment of city light on. I
00:15:20think this is a very good thing in the current situation, this is a very
00:15:23responsible decision and...
00:15:29Extremely low water levels of the Danube near Vukovar have seriously disrupted
00:15:32river traffic there. The river is so shallow in some parts that
00:15:36cargo ships can no longer pass, which has almost completely stopped traffic
00:15:39in the port of Vukovar. The water level, according to the latest data,
00:15:43has dropped by 73 cm. In some parts of the navigable
00:15:46waterway, the depth is just over one meter. Because of this,
00:15:50ships are forced to wait for more favorable conditions or reduce cargo
00:15:53in the port of Vukovar, they emphasize that there has been no navigation for about ten days
00:15:57and warn that if the water level does not increase soon, they could
00:16:01lose part of the contracted
00:16:02traffic.
00:16:06We have the so-called. Mohovo canal, so,
00:16:09maybe you could record that there are
00:16:12three convoys parked there, threatening
00:16:15loss of income, and not a small one, yes, we have
00:16:19in the last month
00:16:23signed agreements with our business partners for about 200,000 tons
00:16:27of goods that were supposed
00:16:30to be transported and unloaded in the Port of
00:16:33Vukovar, uh, potential revenue we are talking about
00:16:37800,000 euros, mm, two convoys with
00:16:41certain types of goods have started from the Port of
00:16:43Constanta and are located at some 500, 550
00:16:47km, waiting anchored and waiting for a better draft and
00:16:51a better Danube, until when will that be, some predictions are that
00:16:54it will not be before
00:16:56September 1st,
00:17:02but those real cargo ships had to stop anyway, yes, either they
00:17:05stopped at anchorages or they are... somewhere in other ports waiting for a
00:17:09favorable water level, more favorable, right. That is
00:17:12the situation with these Austrian ships near Mohovo, which did not
00:17:16run aground, but simply decided and realized where
00:17:20it was logical to stop. That's right, they were in upstream navigation, they are under
00:17:24Serbian jurisdiction, because they sailed from Bačka Palanka towards upstream
00:17:27and they estimated that
00:17:31passing through the Mohovo canal would be too dangerous due to their greater
00:17:35draft, on the navigable waterway we currently have only near... the place Erdut
00:17:38two stranded cargo ships that also
00:17:41exceeded their draft so they are now there right in the navigable waterway and
00:17:45are also waiting for the water to
00:17:48rise so they can sail out. What about
00:17:52these tourist cruisers? Well, most
00:17:55of them, a large majority, have already been canceled, so
00:17:58for last and this month, since this situation,
00:18:02in Vukovar itself, about 60
00:18:05arrivals have been canceled and... and Aljmaš about
00:18:0840, currently we have one passenger ship in Vukovar
00:18:12that is also waiting for the water level to
00:18:16rise a bit, and in Ilok we have one ship that might sail
00:18:19tomorrow,
00:18:22and those who have lived their whole lives along the Danube,
00:18:25say they don't remember such a withdrawal of the river
00:18:28really,
00:18:31I mean, they simply can't believe it, I recently when I was here
00:18:35and first heard about it when I came...
00:18:38I was shocked that it was, why it was, probably it has
00:18:42something to do with this drought, right, I think it's all climate change
00:18:45and unfortunately I'm a bit pessimistic about that,
00:18:49I believe it will be much, much worse in the near future, to run over, not
00:18:53yet, not yet, in a few days, we will enter, in a few days if
00:18:56it continues like this, that's a problem there and it's
00:19:00narrow and shallow all of them are parked
00:19:03in Šarengrad mainly and Ilok
00:19:07and... This one, it won't leave for another month,
00:19:10dana,
00:19:17and despite record low river levels due to
00:19:20prolonged drought and high temperatures, the supply of drinking water in
00:19:24Croatia is currently stable, Hrvatska Vode announced today.
00:19:27They emphasize that the water supply to the population is ensured
00:19:30even though reduced inflows are recorded at some
00:19:33sources. The lowest water levels on the Danube and Drava have been measured
00:19:37since. systematic measurements exist, due to the lack
00:19:40of significant rainfall, they warn that an earlier increase in
00:19:44water levels is expected. Hrvatske Vode states that they continuously monitor the situation on
00:19:48take measures to preserve water resources and
00:19:52react promptly if hydrological conditions further worsen.
00:20:09Tomorrow, two laws will go into public discussion which should increase
00:20:13veterans' pensions, a government move announced by Andrej Plenković yesterday
00:20:17in Knin for the autumn. Minister Tomo Medved revealed more details
00:20:21about the planned changes that should cover about 200,000
00:20:25veterans. Through the law on active military personnel, the reduction from
00:20:282002
00:20:31will be abolished, and the law on veterans will introduce a new calculation and
00:20:34valuation of the combat sector.
00:20:39We still need to abolish the third reduction, the one from
00:20:432002, and that is why we will through
00:20:47amendments to that law on active military personnel.
00:20:50authorized official persons abolish
00:20:54the reduction of 8 to 20% for those
00:20:58Croatian veterans, soldiers, police officers who were
00:21:01retired on that basis,
00:21:04we will also amend the law on Croatian veterans,
00:21:08I remind you what law we are talking about, so we are
00:21:11talking about a law that I started drafting in
00:21:15partnership with associations on the first day I took over the ministry in
00:21:192016. year,
00:21:22then we corrected many injustices, filled
00:21:25many gaps and
00:21:29today, after many years of application,
00:21:32another amendment to that law follows, this
00:21:36amendment will relate to the method of calculation and
00:21:39supplements for Croatian veterans who were
00:21:43retired under that law. What I will
00:21:46highlight as particularly important, here is the occasion... is today
00:21:52Mrežnica, where the 14th Home Guard Regiment
00:21:55Slunj started to liberate Slunj, is the valorization
00:21:59of the combat sector. Every month, spent in the
00:22:02combat sector will be specially valorized and
00:22:06through the financial calculation of their
00:22:09pensions.
00:22:12And Medvjed responded to the criticism that came from the Možemo party, saying that their
00:22:15legal proposals were
00:22:19a smaller number of veterans, and that the government therefore did not adopt them. On the other
00:22:22hand, Damir Bakić in our new day pointed out that their
00:22:26legal proposals were delayed in parliament, that the
00:22:30government ultimately repackaged them and presented them as
00:22:33their own,
00:22:36but I would say that this is a forced move, it was perfectly
00:22:39clear, perfectly clear from all, how to
00:22:43say, all indicators from our contacts, we went through in
00:22:46our campaign, we went through maybe uh...
00:22:5010 or 15 major Croatian cities, everywhere the echo was
00:22:54the same, everywhere we received uh
00:22:57extremely, how can I put it, extremely strong,
00:23:00open, undivided support for the fact that
00:23:03the issue needed to be opened, uh,
00:23:07the argumentation, as I said, was never
00:23:11defeated and it seems to me that the government had no other choice
00:23:14but, and unfortunately that is how it is in our
00:23:18political milieu. uh not
00:23:21to uh uh constructively
00:23:24agree to discuss a proposal that
00:23:27came from the opposition, as it never did, though,
00:23:31but to say, crush
00:23:34that proposal, and then quickly repackage it and present
00:23:38it as
00:23:39their own.
00:23:42Celebrations of the 31st anniversary of Operation
00:23:46Storm continue across Croatia today in Petrinja and Slunj, where the Mrežnica bridge
00:23:49was named after the 14th Home Guard Regiment Slunj
00:23:53which entered there and in Rakovica and Cetingrad
00:23:56on the second day of Operation Storm in 1995.
00:23:59They also crossed the bridge that enemy forces
00:24:02had mined, and the engineers repaired the Mrežnica bridge on the
00:24:06night of August
00:24:076th.
00:24:14And in Uzdolje near Knin this morning, a commemoration was held for eight killed
00:24:18Serb civilians for whom the Parliament. MP of the SDSS, Anja
00:24:22Šimpraga, demanded justice and appealed for a consistent
00:24:25condemnation of all crimes and equal concern for all
00:24:28victims. This is the only way, she emphasized, towards a society
00:24:31based on universal values and not on selective memory,
00:24:35she drew attention to the recent decision of the Constitutional Court, according to which
00:24:39Croatia, by failing to conduct an effective investigation into the murder
00:24:42of these eight Serb civilians in Uzdolje, violated the Constitution and the Convention for
00:24:46the Protection of Human Rights.
00:24:51And let me immediately emphasize that I am not talking about the past today
00:24:54in order to deepen divisions, I am talking about
00:24:57the past because without truth and justice there is no
00:25:01lasting trust among citizens, there is no full
00:25:04democracy and there is no true reconciliation.
00:25:07Also, we equally want every crime to be investigated and
00:25:11every missing person to be found of all
00:25:141727 who are of different
00:25:17nationalities, including 40 percent
00:25:21of Serb nationality, the strength
00:25:24of joint commemorations, the arrival of the highest representatives of the state
00:25:27was a light in resolving relations, accepting
00:25:31diversity as richness, as well as expressing sadness about
00:25:34the fact that the Croatian state failed to protect its
00:25:38citizens, while on the other hand, Croatian society
00:25:41was warned that it must find the strength to admit that crimes
00:25:45were unfortunately committed in Operation Storm against Serb
00:25:48civilians that should not and did not have to
00:25:51happen.

00:26:51ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important
00:26:55global routes for energy transport, according to Iranian
00:26:58regional sources. Such an agreement would represent a major concession
00:27:01to Tehran. significantly changing the balance of power in the region, but the American side
00:27:05has not yet commented on this proposal. US President Donald
00:27:09Trump stated that the agreement on reopening the strait
00:27:12close, but earlier Washington said it would not accept Iranian
00:27:16control over that key maritime route. Iran also
00:27:19warned Persian Gulf countries that any new
00:27:22American attack could trigger a response targeting energy
00:27:26infrastructure in
00:27:27the region.
00:27:31Israeli Prime Minister Ben. Netanyahu rejected the latest American
00:27:34proposal for the Gaza Strip, stating that Israel will not accept a plan that
00:27:38does not guarantee its security. Netanyahu said that the Trump administration's
00:27:42proposal is not acceptable and that Israel has delivered
00:27:45its objections to Washington. Although the plan envisions a gradual
00:27:48withdrawal of the Israeli army after the complete disarmament
00:27:52of Hamas, the Israeli Prime Minister emphasized that Israel's survival
00:27:56is not subject to negotiations. In the meantime, Hamas claims to have
00:27:59accepted the proposal and called on the United States to exert pressure
00:28:03on Israel to reach a ceasefire agreement.

00:28:41twelve others were wounded. The outbreak of violence coincides with the latest
00:28:45round of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon in Rome. The two countries
00:28:49agreed in June on a security arrangement brokered
00:28:52by Washington, with the goal of alleviating hostilities
00:28:56along the border. Israel, however, said it would maintain a security zone

00:29:08Japan today marks the 81st anniversary
00:29:11of the American nuclear attack on Hiroshima, which was the first such
00:29:15attack in history. From August 6, 1945,
00:29:17when the US dropped an atomic
00:29:20bomb on the Japanese city, accelerating the end of
00:29:24World War II, until the end of that year, from the explosion itself and from
00:29:28injuries and illnesses caused by radiation, about
00:29:31140,000 people died. About 50,000
00:29:34people from 123 countries, including survivors, paid
00:29:38tribute with a minute of silence in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, after
00:29:42the peace bell rang exactly at 8:15 AM
00:29:46local time, the time the bomb was dropped. The bomb weighing
00:29:49about 4 tons killed everyone within 500 meters
00:29:53instantly and destroyed 90% of the city. Three days
00:29:56after Hiroshima, the US dropped a bomb on Nagasaki,
00:30:00killing about 75,4000 people.
00:30:17And while the entire Mediterranean is literally boiling at temperatures above
00:30:2040°, and a beach vacation for many becomes just
00:30:24a struggle for a little shade. A completely new tourist
00:30:27hit is being created. It's about coolcation, or a summer
00:30:30escape from unbearable heat to cooler regions, forget
00:30:34sun-fried, the hit of the season becomes light jackets,
00:30:38raincoats in a backpack at a pleasant 15 degrees Celsius.
00:30:42From the Zelenogorsk crater all the way to the far Scandinavian north,
00:30:45we investigated why deep shade has become a new tourist
00:30:49plus. More to come.
