00:00:02alert is still in effect for the entire country today. Towards the end of the day, in the interior of Istria and Dalmatia,
00:00:06with a stronger development of clouds expected, localized thunderstorms are possible,
00:00:09as well as in mountainous Croatia.
00:00:13We will certainly bring
00:00:18a more detailed forecast later in the show. Due to the heat wave, the Krško nuclear power plant
00:00:21is operating today at 80% of its
00:00:24reactor power, not because it has cooling problems,
00:00:27but so that it does not heat the Sava River above the legally
00:00:31permitted level. The power plant
00:00:35cycling, swimming in states that in case of need, they will react again and reduce capacity. Croatian
00:00:38Electricity (HEP) says that supply is not endangered because of this.
00:00:42Temperatures today were extremely high throughout the country, despite
00:00:46the lines of unstable weather
00:00:48rivers and sources and that will reach us tomorrow. For a real
00:00:50cool down, we might have to wait until September 1st. Andrej
00:00:54Dimitrijević reports. How the heat wave additionally heated
00:00:58the Sava River, the Krško nuclear power plant is operating today
00:01:02at 80% of its reactor power,
00:01:05not because it has cooling problems, but so that it does not heat
00:01:08the Sava above the legally permitted level. If the current
00:01:12hydrological and meteorological conditions continue to worsen,
00:01:15the Krško nuclear power plant will continue to further reduce reactor
00:01:19power. The Krško nuclear power plant will operate
00:01:22at full power again when conditions allow it. Croatian
00:01:25Electricity (HEP) states that supply is not endangered
00:01:29because of this. HEP continuously monitors the situation in the domestic
00:01:32and regional electric power system and manages its production
00:01:36portfolio and electricity procurement to ensure
00:01:39reliable, safe, and stable supply to its
00:01:42customers under all
00:01:46circumstances. It was as if everyone who had to go out on the street
00:01:50today was in an oven. In Zagreb, the temperature exceeded
00:01:5337°C. Citizens are aware that
00:01:56these temperatures are not to be trifled with. I don't go out
00:02:00much, so I can endure it. How do you
00:02:02cool down? At home. I don't have air conditioning, but at home,
00:02:06at home, it's not hot, it's a little hot, but
00:02:09you can endure it. You drink water, and
00:02:12that's it. You do everything until 10 or 11
00:02:16o'clock, and that's it, no more sweating. Some
00:02:19still don't have that luxury. Bread has to be earned, even in the
00:02:22heat. So slowly, we cool down with cold
00:02:26drinks and so on, in the shade under an umbrella and so on. How
00:02:29long? here every day until 2 PM, until
00:02:3214:00, so you have to work here in the heat under quite strong
00:02:36sun, so 308 is not easy. Atmospheric
00:02:40physicist Grizo Gonjo says that this heat wave is a consequence of global
00:02:43warming, but also of atmospheric conditions. The climate is not in
00:02:47a stationary state, so global
00:02:51here on warming is occurring, and that intensifies the effects, especially
00:02:54in Western Europe, Portugal, Spain,
00:02:57France, Italy, Greece, even then in Croatia.
00:03:01There were heat waves before, but usually
00:03:04they wouldn't last two weeks. We know that
00:03:07Croatia has the greatest damage from droughts in general, and that
00:03:11is now intensifying. He says that because of this, it would be wise to invest
00:03:14in a safer and stronger water supply system, better plan traffic, and
00:03:18arbitrary and concerned proactively water critical areas on the coast with Canadair
00:03:21planes. He adds that in such situations, we all need to start with
00:03:24ourselves. Be careful with waste, be careful with
00:03:27water. And don't get carried away. long in the shower
00:03:31and plan when to turn on the
00:03:34air conditioning and
00:03:37fans, so that also applies to
00:03:41traffic and air conditioning in cars,
00:03:44transport, simply optimization and minimization
00:03:48wherever possible. Meteorologist Lipovčak says that we
00:03:52two victories. Split is the will only fully breathe a sigh of relief for the Assumption of Mary,
00:03:55although the next two days will still see slightly
00:03:58lower temperatures. Currently, there is a weakened cold
00:04:01front on the northern side of the Alps, it will only graze us
00:04:05with its tail, so it will cause a slight cloud cover
00:04:09tomorrow afternoon in the northwestern parts
00:04:12of the interior and on the northern
00:04:14Adriatic. There may be local thunderstorms,
00:04:18some wind gusts, but we don't expect
00:04:22significant, it's not a real front, but there will be lines
00:04:25of instability, but that means temperatures will drop by
00:04:29the most. and remain around +30, which is not
00:04:33much, but in these conditions, it's better
00:04:36than nothing. Andri Dimitrijević, N1,
00:04:40Zagreb.
00:04:43Hungary and Romania are forced to continue saving due to
00:04:48Petrinja and Slunj, where the bridge on extremely low river levels. The new decision is to turn off decorative lighting
00:04:51in all state institutions at night. Record low
00:04:54water levels on the Danube are forcing authorities to take
00:04:57new austerity measures. Romania has also declared a state of
00:05:00emergency. Nuclear power plants in Hungary and Romania are operating at
00:05:04reduced capacity because water from the Danube is used to cool
00:05:08reactors. Hungarian companies and households are reducing electricity
00:05:11consumption.
00:06:43The extremely low water level of the Danube near Vukovar has seriously disrupted
00:06:47river traffic there. The river is so shallow in some parts that
00:06:50cargo ships can no longer sail, which has brought traffic in
00:06:53the port of Vukovar to an almost complete halt. The water level, according
00:06:56to the latest data, has fallen by 73 cm, and in
00:07:00some parts of the navigable route, the depth is just over one meter.
00:07:04Because of this, ships are forced to wait for more favorable conditions or reduce
00:07:08their cargo. In the port of Vukovar, they point out that there has been no
00:07:11navigation for ten days, and he warned that if the water level does not increase
00:07:15soon, they could lose part of the contracted
00:07:17traffic.
00:07:20We have the so-called Mohovo canal, so
00:07:24maybe you could have filmed that there are
00:07:27three convoys parked there, so currently,
00:07:30no cargo or tourist ships,
00:07:34i.e., cruise ships, are sailing. Not
00:07:36a single ship. What is important for you here is that
00:07:40you face the loss of income. That's no
00:07:43small matter, yes. We have signed contracts with
00:07:47our business partners in the last month
00:07:51for about 200,000 tons of goods that were supposed to be
00:07:54delivered and unloaded in the Port of
00:07:57Vukovar. The potential revenue
00:08:01we are talking about is 800,000 euros. Two
00:08:04convoys with certain types of goods have departed from the Port of
00:08:08Constanta and are located about 500-550
00:08:11km away. They are waiting anchored, and they are waiting for a better draft and
00:08:15a better Danube. How long will that be? Some predictions are that
00:08:19it won't be before
00:08:20September 1st.
00:08:26But the real cargo ships had to stop anyway, yes, either
00:08:29they stopped at anchorages or they are in other ports waiting for
00:08:33a more favorable water level, right? That
00:08:37is the situation with these Austrian ships near Mohovo that have
00:08:40not run aground, but have simply decided and realized where
00:08:44it is logical to stop, that's right, they were sailing upstream, they are under
00:08:48Serbian jurisdiction because they sailed from
00:08:51Bačka Palanka upstream and they estimated that
00:08:55passing through the Mohovo canal would be too dangerous due to their greater
00:08:59draft. On the navigable route, we currently have only near the town of Erdut
00:09:02two stranded cargo ships that also exceeded
00:09:06their draft, so now they are right in the navigable route and are also
00:09:09waiting for the water level to rise
00:09:13so that they can set sail. What about
00:09:16these tourist cruise ships? Well, most
00:09:19of them, a large majority, have already been canceled, so
00:09:22for the past and this month, since this
00:09:26situation began, in Vukovar alone, about
00:09:2960 arrivals have been canceled, and in Ilok and Aljmaš, about
00:09:3340. We currently have one passenger ship in Vukovar
00:09:36that is also waiting for the water level
00:09:40to rise, and in Ilok, we have one that should perhaps
00:09:43sail tomorrow.
00:09:47And those who have lived by the Danube all their lives, by the Danube,
00:09:50say they don't really remember such a retreat
00:09:53of the river.
00:09:55I mean, I just can't believe it. I was here recently
00:09:59and I first heard about it, and when I arrived, I was shocked that
00:10:03it was, why, what for, it probably has something to
00:10:06do with this drought, it's all climate change,
00:10:09and unfortunately, I thought about this,
00:10:13I believe it will be much, much worse soon. Negazić,
00:10:17not yet, not yet, in a few days, will we enter? In a few days, if it
00:10:21continues like this, that's the problem there, and it's
00:10:24narrow and shallow there. All of them are parked there in Šarengrad,
00:10:28mainly in Ilok. These
00:10:31cruise ships won't leave for another
00:10:34month.
00:10:42Despite record low river levels due to
00:10:44prolonged drought and high temperatures, the supply of drinking water in
00:10:48Croatia is currently stable, Croatian Waters announced today.
00:10:51They emphasize that the water supply for the population is ensured.
00:10:55Although reduced inflows are recorded at some sources, the lowest
00:10:59water levels on the Danube and Drava have been measured since systematic
00:11:02measurements began. Due to the lack of significant rainfall, they warn
00:11:06that an increase in water levels is expected soon. Croatian Waters states
00:11:10that they continuously monitor the situation on
00:11:13take measures to preserve water resources and
00:11:16react promptly if hydrological conditions further
00:11:20worsen.
00:11:34Tomorrow, two laws will go into public debate, which should
00:11:37increase veteran pensions, a government move announced by
00:11:40Andrej Plenković yesterday in Knin for the autumn. Minister Tomo Medved
00:11:44revealed more details about the planned changes, which should
00:11:47cover about 200,000 veterans. Through the law on active
00:11:51military personnel, the reduction from 2002 will be abolished,
00:11:55and the law on veterans will introduce a new calculation and
00:11:58valuation of the combat
00:11:59sector.
00:12:04We still need to abolish the third reduction, the one from
00:12:072002, and that's why, through
00:12:11amendments to that law on active military personnel and
00:12:14authorized official persons, we will abolish
00:12:18the reduction of 8 to 20% for those
00:12:22Croatian veterans, soldiers, and police officers
00:12:25who retired on that basis.
00:12:28We will also amend the law on Croatian veterans.
00:12:32Let me remind you which law we are talking about. We are talking
00:12:35about the law whose drafting I began in
00:12:39partnership with associations on the first day I took over the ministry
00:12:43in 2016. At that time,
00:12:46we corrected many injustices, filled
00:12:49many gaps, and
00:12:53today, after many years of application,
00:12:56another amendment to that law follows. This amendment
00:13:00will relate to the method of calculation and
00:13:04additions for Croatian veterans who retired
00:13:07under that law. What I will
00:13:10highlight as particularly important, and this is an opportunity today
00:13:16Mrežnica, where the 14th Home Guard Regiment
00:13:19Slunj started to liberate Slunj, is the valuation
00:13:23of the combat sector. Every month
00:13:27spent in the combat sector will be especially valued
00:13:31through the financial calculation of their
00:13:33pensions.
00:13:36Medved responded to the criticisms that came from the Možemo party. He says their
00:13:39legal proposals were
00:13:43a smaller part of veterans, and that is why the government did not adopt them. On the other
00:13:46hand, Damir Bakić highlighted to us on this day that
00:13:50their legal proposals were delayed in Parliament,
00:13:53that the government eventually repackaged them and presented them as
00:13:57their own.
00:14:00But I would say that this was a forced move, it was perfectly
00:14:03clear, perfectly clear from all, how should
00:14:07I say, all indicators, from our contacts, we went through
00:14:11in our campaign, we went through perhaps
00:14:1410 or 15 larger Croatian cities, everywhere the reaction was
00:14:18the same, everywhere we received
00:14:21an extremely, how should I say, extremely strong, open,
00:14:25undivided support for
00:14:27the need to open that question.
00:14:31The argumentation, as I said, was never
00:14:34refuted, and it seems to me that
00:14:37the government had nowhere else to go, but, as unfortunately
00:14:41happens in our political
00:14:43milieu, not to
00:14:47constructively agree to a
00:14:50discussion of a proposal that came from the opposition, as
00:14:54it never did before, but to
00:14:57crush that proposal,
00:15:01let's say, then quickly repackage it and present
00:15:03it as its own.
00:15:07The commemorations of the 31st anniversary of Operation
00:15:10Storm continue throughout Croatia today in
00:15:13Mrežnica was named after the 14th Home Guard Regiment
00:15:17Slunj, which on the second day of Operation Storm in 1995
00:15:20entered there and into Rakovica and Cetingrad.
00:15:23They also crossed the bridge, which enemy forces
00:15:27had mined, and engineers repaired the bridge on Mrežnica on the
00:15:30night of August
00:15:316th.
00:15:39In Uzdolje near Knin, a commemoration was held this morning for eight killed Serbian
00:15:43civilians, for whom SDSS MP Anja Šimpraga
00:15:46sought justice and issued an appeal for consistent condemnation of all crimes
00:15:50and equal concern for all victims. This is the only way,
00:15:54she emphasized, to a society based on universal values
00:15:57and not on selective memory. She drew attention to the recent
00:16:01decision of the Constitutional Court, according to which Croatia, by failing to conduct an effective
00:16:05investigation into the murder of these eight Serbian civilians in Uzdolje,
00:16:08violated the Constitution and the Convention for the Protection of Human
00:16:11Rights.
00:16:15And let me emphasize immediately that I am not talking about the past today
00:16:19to deepen divisions. I am talking about
00:16:22the past because without truth and justice there is no
00:16:25lasting trust among citizens, no full
00:16:28democracy, and no true reconciliation.
00:16:31Similarly, we equally want every crime to be investigated and
00:16:35every missing person to be found. All
00:16:381,727 people of various
00:16:41nationalities, including 40 percent
00:16:45of Serbian nationality. The strength
00:16:48of joint commemorations, the arrival of the highest state representatives,
00:16:52was a light in resolving relations, accepting
00:16:55diversity as a richness, as well as expressing sadness for
00:16:59the fact that the Croatian state failed to protect its
00:17:02citizens, while on the other hand, Croatian society
00:17:05was warned that it must find the strength to admit
00:17:09that during Operation Storm, unfortunately, crimes were committed
00:17:12against Serbian civilians that should not
00:17:15have happened.
00:17:18Zagreb police released details of a serious traffic accident in Botinec,
00:17:22in which three people died. The accident happened last night around
00:17:2510 PM when a 35-year-old
00:17:28female driver of a passenger car in Dok Luje
00:17:32Letilića Street lost control of the vehicle. The car swerved off
00:17:35the road and hit a concrete electricity pole with great force, literally
00:17:39splitting in half. A 48-year-old passenger died
00:17:42at the scene of the accident, while the driver and a 29-year-old
00:17:46passenger were taken to the hospital where they later died. Police
00:17:50reported that the vehicle's registration and traffic permit expired last
00:17:53year. The investigation and criminal investigation into
00:17:57the circumstances of this tragedy are still
00:17:59ongoing.
00:18:12Iran, under a possible agreement with Oman, could take control of
00:18:16ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important
00:18:19routes for energy transport, according to Iranian regional
00:18:22sources. Such an agreement would represent a major concession
00:18:26to Tehran and significantly change the balance of power in the region, but the US
00:18:29side has not yet commented on this proposal. US President Donald
00:18:33Trump stated that an agreement to reopen the strait is
00:18:36close, but Washington had previously stated that it would not accept Iranian
00:18:40control over this crucial maritime route. Iran also warned
00:18:44Persian Gulf countries that any new American attack could
00:18:48provoke a response targeting energy infrastructure in the
00:18:52region.
00:18:55Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the latest US
00:18:59proposal for the Gaza Strip, stating that Israel would not accept a plan
00:19:02that does not guarantee its security. Netanyahu said that Trump's
00:19:06administration's proposal was not acceptable and that Israel had provided
00:19:09Washington with its objections. Although the plan envisions a gradual
00:19:13withdrawal of the Israeli army after the complete disarmament
00:19:16of Hamas, the Israeli Prime Minister emphasized that the survival of Israel
00:19:20is not subject to negotiations. Meanwhile, Hamas claims that it
00:19:23has accepted the proposal and called on the United States to pressure
00:19:27Israel to reach a ceasefire
00:19:30agreement.
00:19:33Two Israeli soldiers were killed in Southern Lebanon, the Israeli army announced,
00:19:37while at least one person was killed in Israeli retaliatory attacks,
00:19:41according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. Yesterday, the Israeli army began
00:19:45attacks in Southern Lebanon, in response to what it called
00:19:48Hezbollah's violation of the truce. Israeli local media
00:19:52reported that two soldiers were killed and four wounded when an explosive
00:19:56device detonated in the area where they were operating in the south.
00:19:59The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that one person was killed
00:20:03in the Israeli attack and at least twelve others were wounded.
00:20:06The outbreak of violence coincides with the latest round of negotiations between
00:20:10Israel and Lebanon in Rome. The two countries in June
00:20:13agreed to a security arrangement mediated by
00:20:17Washington, with the goal of easing hostilities along
00:20:20the border. Israel, however, said it would maintain a security zone in
00:20:24Southern Lebanon to remove the threat from the Hezbollah group, which
00:20:28is supported
00:20:29by Iran.
00:20:32Japan today marks the 81st anniversary
00:20:35of the American nuclear attack on Hiroshima, which was the first such
00:20:39attack in history, since August 6,
00:20:411945, when the US dropped an atomic
00:20:45bomb on the Japanese city, thus accelerating the end of
00:20:48World War II. By the end of that year, from the explosion itself
00:20:52and from injuries and illnesses caused by radiation, about
00:20:55140,000 people died. About 50,000 people from
00:20:59123 countries, including survivors, paid tribute
00:21:03with a minute of silence at the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, after the
00:21:06peace bell rang exactly at 8:15 AM
00:21:10local time, at the time when the bomb was dropped. The bomb,
00:21:13weighing about 4 tons, killed everyone within a 500-meter radius
00:21:17immediately and destroyed 90% of the city. Three days
00:21:20after Hiroshima, the US dropped a bomb on Nagasaki,
00:21:24killing about 74,000 people.
