00:00:18Good afternoon, I am Borna Šmer, you are watching today's overview. These
00:00:22are the news that marked
00:00:23Thursday.
00:00:28The case of illegal waste in the hospital at two addresses, in
00:00:32Strasbourg in Zagreb, the European Parliament's discussion on
00:00:35health protection, in Zagreb the government's scientific
00:00:38council.
00:00:42Canada turns to Europe, and Washington threatens, while
00:00:45relationships with other countries and other parts of Carney talks about a stronger alliance between Canada and the Union,
00:00:48Trump warns: We will impose high
00:00:51tariffs.
00:00:54Fire in KBC Sisters of Mercy. Part of the
00:00:57patients evacuated, but with quick intervention, a larger
00:01:00incident was prevented. From Vinogradska they said, no one was
00:01:04threatened.
00:01:07One person died in strong storms that hit
00:01:10areas around Barcelona and Valencia. Water
00:01:14members of carried everything before it.
00:01:32The problem of dangerous and illegal waste in Gospić, but also in the whole of
00:01:36Croatia, reached European parliamentarians today.
00:01:39However, from the name of the agenda item, it would not
00:01:43be said, because it was debated on an item titled "Protection
00:01:47of human health from toxic substances," and while the Greens, who
00:01:50proposed the item for discussion, say that it was a way for
00:01:54HDZ to control political damage, the ruling
00:01:57party responds: "We are solving the problem, and you are spreading
00:02:00panic.
00:02:04A half-empty plenary hall of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, but for
00:02:08Croatia an important point, waste and its disposal.
00:02:11Arguments from the domestic arena moved to the heart of the European
00:02:15Parliament. Protection of human health
00:02:18is neither a left-wing nor a right-wing issue. And that is why
00:02:22when there is a problem, when there are failures, or when
00:02:26there are such situations as we unfortunately face in Croatia.
00:02:31Serious politics solves the problem, it does not
00:02:34spread fear and panic. Serious
00:02:37politics brings citizens the results
00:02:40of remediation, it does not use the fear
00:02:43of citizens for its plans. The opposition states that it has concrete and
00:02:47simple solutions, but that the ruling party cannot be trusted.
00:02:50It is necessary to adopt clear rules according to which a state that does not have
00:02:54the capacity to use waste cannot then
00:02:57import waste, because otherwise it ends up in the soil. water,
00:03:01finally, since the national government has been unable
00:03:04to resolve this ecocide in the Schengen area for months,
00:03:08I call on the Commission to monitor this case. Gospić and
00:03:11Croatia will not be a landfill of the European Union. In Zagreb,
00:03:15the Prime Minister from the government session accuses the opposition of spreading panic.
00:03:18His minister adds that a solution is being actively worked on.
00:03:22The problem of waste exists, uh,
00:03:24those who caused it will be held accountable in criminal
00:03:28proceedings.
00:03:30The health situation regarding the correctness of water
00:03:34in the public water supply system in the street
00:03:37is good and the water is correct and can be drunk,
00:03:40unlike the publicly expressed views of some opposition
00:03:44representatives. The government has, by decision,
00:03:48therefore activated the companies Nexe and
00:03:51Holcim to take over and dispose of, in a legal manner, each
00:03:55in accordance with their waste management permits,
00:03:58a total of 650 tons
00:04:02of non-hazardous waste. We do not see any reason for
00:04:05alarming the public. We are sorry that this
00:04:08is happening. Politicians who do this do not
00:04:11want, they have clearly shown, that the waste
00:04:15in Gospić be remediated. However, the party that
00:04:20seconds, the building was drew the attention of the European Parliament to the problem in Gospić responds, it's just about
00:04:24appearances. In the end, they somewhat succeeded in that,
00:04:28in a way that... "the case of
00:04:31Croatia and the case of Gospić are no longer
00:04:35mentioned in the very title of that discussion, which actually shows that their
00:04:38goal all along was not to remediate the problem that
00:04:42arose, but to remediate political damage.
00:04:45More experienced former protagonists of the political arena say that
00:04:48they expected more. I expected that
00:04:52uh, well, the government would react
00:04:55much faster, that it would react operationally
00:04:58immediately, nothing." Nothing was done to calm
00:05:02that fear, nothing serious, nothing concrete except
00:05:05verbally. That is not enough. At the end of the day, the
00:05:09Public Health Institute reports that based on samples in Gospić,
00:05:12both water and food are safe for consumption. Hrvoje
00:05:16Krešić, N1 Zagreb. The Scientific Council gathered
00:05:31at the University of Zagreb at 3:30 PM, but as we
00:05:35know, it is closed to the public. Our Katarina
00:05:38Plantak is following everything. Katarina,
00:05:41do you see the end of the meeting and are
00:05:44statements for
00:05:45the press planned?
00:05:49Hello Borna and all viewers, that's right, at this
00:05:52moment the council is still ongoing, they are still discussing,
00:05:56statements for the public are planned after the meeting
00:06:00at 6:15 PM.
00:06:03This is the first time since its establishment on Monday that the
00:06:07Scientific Council has met. It has a total of, it has
00:06:11a president for... the Zagreb rector Stjepan Lakušić
00:06:14and deputy president Krunoslav Capak,
00:06:18otherwise the director of the Croatian Institute for Public Health, and five
00:06:22other members. Today, they are discussing
00:06:24solutions that they will then send to the government
00:06:28regarding the remediation of waste in Gospić.
00:06:31As for Krunoslav Capak, there were criticisms
00:06:35regarding his appointment to this council from the association, or
00:06:38initiative Gospić Our Home.
00:06:42They complained and expressed doubt
00:06:45about the independence of this body, given that
00:06:48he is in charge of the Andrija Štampar Teaching Institute, which participated in
00:06:51findings and
00:06:54conducted expert assessments in
00:06:57Gospić, as well as at other locations where
00:07:00waste was illegally disposed. However,
00:07:03yesterday Stjepan Lakušić said that this
00:07:07council is independent, that it consists of experts, that the
00:07:11government asked them, and they will provide the best and
00:07:14expert solutions to ensure that illegal waste in
00:07:18Gospić is removed as soon as possible and to prevent
00:07:21risks to human health, as well as
00:07:24further pollution of soil, water, and
00:07:28air. After this meeting
00:07:31ends, they will then submit solutions to the government. They said they have studied
00:07:34all the materials they received from the government. Next week, as
00:07:38announced by Minister Vučković, on Tuesday, September 22nd...
00:07:42a remediation plan should also
00:07:45be presented, after seeing what this
00:07:48scientific team of experts proposed to
00:07:51the government, what solutions they have
00:07:54and uh what they have concluded. As I said, at 6
00:07:58hours and 15 minutes, Stjepan Lakušić,
00:08:01the president of that council, should give a statement, then we should
00:08:05find out more. So,
00:08:08we are staying here and uh waiting for
00:08:11the statement.
00:08:13Thank you, Katarina, this was live from Zagreb, our Katarina Plantak.
00:08:29As the President of the European Commission, Ursula
00:08:32von der Leyen, announced in her State of the Union address, Canada wants to
00:08:36somehow join the European Union, confirmed Canadian
00:08:39Prime Minister Mark Carney, regardless of Donald
00:08:42Trump's threats. Regardless of formal geographical restrictions
00:08:46for membership, it is the most European
00:08:50non-European country, as Carney had said
00:08:53before.
00:08:56Whatever that marriage was eventually called. Mark Carney
00:08:59confirms, Canada wants to be with the European
00:09:01Union.
00:09:07Associate membership. The
00:09:09nomenclature, the precise nomenclature is for Europe is
00:09:13a question for Europe, the the terms they use, I
00:09:16think uh, what is fundamental as all presidents
00:09:20of of Europe share, and I believe all parliamentarians, both in
00:09:24Canada and Europe, take the view as what matters is the
00:09:27substance, what are we actually building together, how do we combine our
00:09:31strengths in a way that serve our people better?
00:09:34Associate member of the European Union, and Canada wants
00:09:38it, no matter what Donald Trump says about it, they are already
00:09:41used to threats. "now I think it's laughable, look uh, the
00:09:45whole thing with Canada, Canada has been a terrible trade partner,
00:09:49and uh, no, I don't see that, and if they do that, if
00:09:53I think it's an all hostal act, I will put very serious
00:09:56tariffs or stop trading with Europe on many
00:10:00things, so if they do that, if Europe does that with a
00:10:03bad intention, if it's a good intention, that's fine, if it's
00:10:07a bad intention,
00:10:10empty threat, Carney has already shown."
00:10:12that he will not kneel before Trump, but his goal is certainly not conflict,
00:10:16but more options for Canada. Together, the European Union and
00:10:20Canada are
00:10:20stronger.
00:10:55So for us in Europe we need to be taking advantage of
00:10:59while we've got partners and friends who are democratically aligned
00:11:03who share many of the same values and cultural traditions. I think it's
00:11:07great to develop trade
00:11:10the world. I think we're a little bit behind in developing some of our natural
00:11:14resources to offer these products to sell to them. I think that they would love to have our
00:11:18products if we were able to deliver them like natural gas across the
00:11:21Atlantic. Canada's trade is 10 times greater with
00:11:25the United States than with the European Union. Europe cannot
00:11:28change that dependence, but it can gradually reduce it and
00:11:32strengthen Carney's leverage in a clash with Trump if
00:11:35a total conflict does not occur.
00:11:52Canada wants to be an associated member, even though
00:11:55such a status formally does not yet exist, and the
00:11:59existing comprehensive agreement with the European Union is in a regime of
00:12:03provisional application because 10 member states have not yet
00:12:07ratified it. There will be no shortage of skepticism for this marriage, but
00:12:10Canada is not the last overseas country with European roots that
00:12:14could go the same way. Bizarrely or not, some members
00:12:18of the British Commonwealth could at least put one foot in the European
00:12:21Union, after Britain has already jumped out with both feet. Ivan Hrstić.
00:12:25N1.
00:12:28The establishment of a Security Council that would gather, in addition to the member states of the European
00:12:32Union, also Great Britain, Canada, Norway
00:12:35and Ukraine, was commented on in our new day by foreign policy
00:12:39analyst Božo
00:12:40Kovačević.
00:12:43Work continues on establishing strategic
00:12:46autonomy. The time of Biden's mandate has actually
00:12:50failed, as far as that aspect of the European Union's
00:12:54operations is concerned, because Europeans believed that Trump would no longer
00:12:57return to power and that relations between
00:13:01Europe and the United States would be
00:13:04more or less as they were before, however that did not
00:13:08happen. Now it is uh
00:13:11a necessity for the European Union, if it wants to be an autonomous
00:13:14player in the system of international relations, to be able
00:13:18to defend
00:13:20itself.
00:13:32The student movement before the elections in Serbia began a
00:13:35cycling action "Guardians of the Constitution", which they will continue
00:13:39in the coming days throughout Serbia with the message that the constitution must apply
00:13:43equally to everyone everywhere. That is why the Constitution
00:13:46travels through Serbia from Belgrade to Vojvodina, from Belgrade to the south
00:13:50of Serbia, through cities where citizens will meet,
00:13:53talk, and leave their signatures, said the
00:13:57students who set off by bicycle on a journey from Belgrade all the way to
00:14:01Kragujevac.
00:14:04We have the opportunity, during these 10 days that we will be cycling,
00:14:08to pass through almost all places in Serbia, to cover as
00:14:11large an area as possible, so that as
00:14:15many citizens hear about us, but not only
00:14:18hear, but also see us. Torrents
00:14:21carry cars, roads are under water, and the
00:14:25hospital is flooded. A severe storm hit Barcelona and
00:14:28Valencia. Near Barcelona, a 48-year-old
00:14:32man died after his car was swept away by a torrent. Water entered parts of hospitals,
00:14:36numerous roads are closed, public transport is delayed, and
00:14:39flights are being canceled. In parts of Catalonia, a red
00:14:42warning is in effect, with over 90
00:14:46liters of rain per square meter falling
00:14:49in some places.

00:15:18After a few nights of pause, Russia again launched
00:15:21missile attacks on Ukraine. According to military sources, about
00:15:25six Zircon missiles were fired at Kyiv. Residential and commercial
00:15:29buildings and a warehouse were damaged, and at least 11 people were
00:15:32injured. Water supply was cut off in parts of the
00:15:35city. Ballistic missiles also attacked Dnipro and
00:15:38Zaporizhzhia. At the same time, Ukraine attacked targets in Russia
00:15:42with drones, including Rostov and Yaroslavl,
00:15:45which temporarily restricted traffic at several Russian
00:15:49airports.
00:15:52Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov commented on
00:15:55the statements of European leaders about the need to prepare for a possible war
00:15:59with Russia. He reiterated that Moscow, as he said,
00:16:03has no intention of attacking Europe.
00:16:07We
00:16:37The Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Russian Ambassador
00:16:40to Croatia, Alexander Nurizade, for
00:16:44talks due to a series of security incidents in European Union
00:16:47member states. The Ministry condemned violations of airspace
00:16:50and territorial waters, as well as drone incidents in
00:16:54several European countries, as well as
00:16:56the intensification of Russian hybrid activities. Russia was called
00:17:00upon to respect the sovereignty of Union members and prevent
00:17:04further security risks. Nurizade rejected
00:17:07the accusations as unproven and stated that it was a
00:17:10coordinated provocation aimed at further
00:17:14worsening relations with Russia.
00:17:27US President Donald Trump says he hopes for a speedy end
00:17:31to the war with Iran, which has entered its seventh month. He claims
00:17:34that Tehran wants to reach an agreement and that he received
00:17:38a direct message from Iran, but he did not disclose its
00:17:41content. Trump is expected to meet with leaders of
00:17:44Persian Gulf countries on the sidelines of the UN General
00:17:48Assembly in New York on Tuesday. According to Axios,
00:17:51they will discuss American plans for the post-war
00:17:54period. The conflict began in late February with US-Israeli
00:17:58attacks on Iran, after which Tehran retaliated with attacks on
00:18:01Israel and US bases in
00:18:03the Gulf.
00:18:17The UN fact-finding mission on Iran claims that
00:18:21there are reasonable grounds for believing that the United
00:18:24States committed war crimes in two attacks on civilian facilities
00:18:28in Iran. In the attack on a school in Minab, according to Iranian
00:18:31data, more than 150 people were killed, including about
00:18:35120 children. The mission also considers the
00:18:39attack on the sports center in Lamerd a war crime. At the same time, it
00:18:42concluded that Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity,
00:18:46including unlawful killings, torture, and arbitrary
00:18:49arrests during the suppression of anti-government
00:18:53protests. The US and Iran have not yet
00:18:56commented on the new report.
00:18:59At least 21 people, among them eleven children and
00:19:03six women, died in the collapse of a six-story building
00:19:07in the city of Gaza. More than
00:19:0925 people were injured. The building,
00:19:13previously severely damaged in Israeli attacks, was a
00:19:16shelter for about a hundred displaced Palestinians.
00:19:19Rescuers pulled 45 survivors
00:19:23during the sixteen-hour operation, while desperate residents searched the rubble with their bare hands.
00:19:38beside the building which collapsed, meaning
00:19:41the tent was three meters away from the building,
00:19:43exactly. So this building had been
00:19:47for some time, stones were falling from it and people didn't take it
00:19:50into consideration. Suddenly, at 3:10,
00:19:54the building collapsed completely. In less than 10
00:19:58on the ground. The United Nations estimates that
00:20:01at least 8 bodies are still buried under the rubble
00:20:05in the Gaza Strip. Since the ceasefire in
00:20:07October last year, Palestinian civil defense has recovered
00:20:11more than 800 bodies, and the UN warns that at the current
00:20:15pace, the search could take at least another 10 years.
00:20:19The UN Human Rights Office claims that Israel is restricting
00:20:22the entry of heavy machinery, expert personnel, and identification equipment.
00:20:38where that were pulverized by Israeli
00:20:40attacks, the remains recovered so far may only
00:20:44be the tip of the iceberg, much
00:20:47of gaza has been flattened by Israel
00:20:56The United States refused to issue a visa to Palestinian President
00:20:59Mahmoud Abbas for participation in the UN General
00:21:03Assembly in New York. The State Secretary claims that visa sanctions
00:21:06against Palestinian officials were extended due to their attempts to
00:21:10internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as they state,
00:21:14by initiating proceedings against Israel before
00:21:17International Courts. For the second
00:21:21consecutive year, Abbas will not personally address world leaders.
00:21:25The General Assembly should vote on allowing him to
00:21:28address via video link. Palestinian authorities called
00:21:32the American decision detrimental to relations with the US
00:21:35and efforts to achieve a two-state solution.
00:21:50The mother of a three-year-old child, severely injured in a fire in Zadar,
00:21:54has been ordered into investigative detention due to the risk of repeating the criminal
00:21:58act. The prosecution suspects the 36-year-old
00:22:01of violating the child's rights and endangering
00:22:05life and limb. The child was alone in the apartment at the time of the fire
00:22:08and suffered severe burns on between
00:22:1240 and 60% of the body, as well as injuries to the
00:22:15respiratory tract. Critically endangered, the child was transferred to the children's
00:22:18hospital in Zagreb. The investigation determined that the fire
00:22:22was caused by a short circuit in the extension
00:22:24cord.
00:22:28British media reported on the dramatic moments that
00:22:32tourists experienced during recent fires on
00:22:35Brač. They claim that as the fire approached a
00:22:38resort where they were, some sought salvation
00:22:42by jumping into the sea and boarding
00:22:44boats. Some guests accuse the hotel staff of leaving
00:22:48them without help. The hotel rejects this, saying
00:22:51they stayed until the last moment. Slovenian
00:22:55tourists who were also at the resort at the time of the fire
00:22:59have no complaints.
00:23:01There was no information because there was no one on the
00:23:04loudspeaker or to turn on some
00:23:08lights. Listen, the hotel staff reacted
00:23:12well. Firefighters, well,
00:23:15firefighters too. Yes, in such a situation it's difficult,
00:23:19not everything.
00:23:21but no one was harmed,
00:23:25everyone is alive, that's the most important thing, yes,
00:23:28yes, we two have
00:23:31no complaints about
00:23:34that, guests received
00:23:38information at the same time as us,
00:23:40meaning, the reception manager immediately activated the alarm
00:23:44and employees,
00:23:48meaning our uh... "The head chef, he was the last
00:23:51one at the resort, was on the last boat helping
00:23:55firefighters to board people, also before
00:23:58that, searching for people in the settlement. It was a panicked
00:24:01state, everything around us was burning, it came with
00:24:05such speed, that it was a natural disaster, in three minutes
00:24:09everything was burning,
00:24:12absolutely everything around our
00:24:15resort was burning, and thank God that nothing
00:24:19happened to anyone." So, we were busy at that
00:24:22moment preventing greater
00:24:25damage, turning off the gas so that there would be no
00:24:28explosion.
00:24:31Firefighters claim that the evacuation of guests by land was not
00:24:35possible because when they arrived, the resort was already surrounded
00:24:38by fire, all exit routes were cut off. That is why
00:24:41they say they pulled guests back into the hotel and closed the building to protect
00:24:45them from smoke and heat while firefighters defended it from the outside.
00:24:49The fire spread extremely quickly, the parking
00:24:53lot was already engulfed, and vehicles exploded.
00:24:56The biggest problem with this whole story is that people confuse the concepts
00:25:00of evacuation and rescue. Evacuation
00:25:03is a safe, organized, calm departure from a threatened facility before the danger itself.
00:25:07The moment we arrived at the scene,
00:25:11Gava was already surrounded by fire, meaning the fire directly threatened Gava and all
00:25:15the surrounding nature. And the evacuation
00:25:19itself could not be carried out due to the extremely rapid spread
00:25:23of the fire. As soon as we approached the Gava resort, we concluded that
00:25:26it was impossible to evacuate civilians from the resort
00:25:30precisely because all roads were
00:25:32cut off.
00:25:35Five new specialized vehicles for fighting forest fires
00:25:39were received by fire departments in Metković, Biograd and
00:25:42Samobor, as well as volunteer fire departments, Bilje and Bilice. Vehicles with
00:25:46all-wheel drive are intended for interventions
00:25:50on demanding terrains. A total of
00:25:5378 such vehicles have been contracted. Chief Fire
00:25:56Commander Slavko Tucaković said that this further
00:26:00strengthens the operational capabilities of firefighters.
00:26:04The value of each vehicle is 282
00:26:07thousand euros, what does that mean, it means an increase in the operational
00:26:11readiness and mobility of our fire
00:26:14departments. I always hope they won't be used, but we saw
00:26:18this year a large number of fires and these vehicles have already
00:26:21been to all fire sites, they show
00:26:24themselves, well, as forest fire vehicles, that they will certainly be needed in the
00:26:28future.
00:26:41President Zoran Milanović hosted the 11th Diplomatic Harvest in
00:26:45Plešivica, which gathered the heads of diplomatic missions
00:26:48of international organizations in Croatia. Despite the rain,
00:26:51diplomats tried their hand at grape harvesting and socialized with
00:26:55local winemakers. The event promotes
00:26:58Plešivica, its winemaking tradition, and local
00:27:01producers. The president left without a statement
00:27:04to reporters.
00:27:10They also good opportunity for contacts with the
00:27:13Croatiam
00:27:17the administration and also of course with the president of the
00:27:20republic uh so for us it's very important to have
00:27:24formal and informal events, they both go
00:27:27together. So last but not least, German or Croatian
00:27:31wines? Both, both.
00:27:42After two years of work, part of the campus of the Faculty of
00:27:46Electrical Engineering and Computing in Unska Street has been renovated.
00:27:49The renovated buildings were officially opened, and employees received
00:27:53more modern classrooms, laboratories, and workspaces
00:27:56of about 18.4
00:27:59meters. The renovation is worth more than 70% of
00:28:02a million euros.
00:28:05We are very satisfied with the opportunity we had to invest such
00:28:09a large amount in the renovation
00:28:12of these two buildings. We have received, of course, earthquake-resistant
00:28:16buildings. We have received more energy-efficient buildings. We have received
00:28:19buildings that function with renewable energy
00:28:23sources. We have also received
00:28:27much better fire protection than these buildings
00:28:30had.

00:28:41Stobreč, where a new Hajduk camp should

00:28:54will be granted the right to build for 50 years, and will not have to
00:28:58pay a fee that would otherwise amount to almost 6 million
00:29:01euros. In addition, Split will be able to transfer the building right
00:29:05through a public tender.TELEVISION NEWS TRANSCRIPT: but the land may
