00:00:17Good afternoon, I am Borna Šmer, you are watching today's review. These
00:00:21are the news that marked
00:00:23Thursday.
00:00:27The case of illegal waste in Gospić over... two addresses in
00:00:31Strasbourg, in Zagreb, in the European Parliament, a discussion about
00:00:34health protection, in Zagreb the government's scientific
00:00:37council.
00:00:41Canada turns to Europe, and
00:00:45relationships with other countries and other parts of Washington threatens while Carney talks about a stronger alliance between Canada and the Union, Trump
00:00:48warns: We will impose high
00:00:50tariffs.
00:00:53Fire in the Sisters of Mercy hospital. Part of the patients
00:00:57were evacuated, but a quick intervention prevented a larger incident.
00:01:00The incident from the Vinogradska hospital reported that no one was
00:01:03endangered.
00:01:06One person died in strong storms that hit
00:01:10areas around Barcelona and Valencia. Water
00:01:13members of carried everything before it.
00:01:31The problem of dangerous and illegal waste in Gospić, and in all of
00:01:35Croatia, reached the MEPs today.
00:01:39However, from the title of the agenda item, one would not
00:01:42say so, because the discussion was on an item titled
00:01:46"Protection of human health from toxic substances," and while the Greens, who
00:01:50proposed the item for discussion, say that it was a way in which
00:01:53the HDZ controls political damage, the ruling party
00:01:56responds: "We are solving the problem, you are spreading
00:02:00panic."
00:02:03A half-empty plenary hall of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, but an important
00:02:07issue for Croatia, waste and its disposal.
00:02:10Arguments from the domestic arena moved to the heart of the European
00:02:14Parliament. Protecting human health
00:02:17is neither a left-wing nor a right-wing issue, and that is why when
00:02:21problems arise, when
00:02:24Firefighters, failures occur, or when situations like the one we are unfortunately
00:02:27facing in Croatia arise,
00:02:30serious politics solves the problem, it does not
00:02:33spread fear and panic. Serious
00:02:36politics brings citizens the results
00:02:39of remediation, it does not use citizens'
00:02:42fear for its own plans. The opposition says it has concrete and
00:02:46simple solutions, but that the ruling party cannot be trusted.
00:02:49It is necessary to adopt clear rules, according to which a state
00:02:52that does not have the capacity for waste recovery cannot then import
00:02:56waste, because otherwise it ends up in soil and water.
00:03:00Finally, since the national government has been failing
00:03:04for months to solve this ecocide in the Schengen area,
00:03:07I call on the Commission to monitor this case. Gospić and
00:03:10Croatia will not be a landfill for the European Union. In Zagreb,
00:03:14the Prime Minister, from the government session, accuses the opposition of spreading panic. His
00:03:18minister adds that concrete work is being done on the solution. The problem of waste
00:03:22exists, uh, those who caused
00:03:25it will be held criminally liable
00:03:28for it. The health situation
00:03:31with the correctness of water in the public
00:03:34water supply system is good and the water is
00:03:38correct and can be drunk, unlike the publicly stated
00:03:41views of some opportunist
00:03:43representatives, the government by decision,
00:03:47therefore activated the companies Nexe and
00:03:50Holcim to take over and dispose of in a legal manner
00:03:54each in accordance with their waste management
00:03:57permits, a total of six. 50
00:04:00tons of non-hazardous waste, we see
00:04:03no reason to alarm the public, we are sorry
00:04:07that this is happening, politicians who do
00:04:10this do not want, they have clearly
00:04:12shown, for the waste in
00:04:16Gospić to be remediated, but the party that
00:04:19in less than a minute, and the building was drew the attention of the European Parliament to the problem in Gospić replies, it's just about the
00:04:23impression. In the end, they somewhat succeeded in
00:04:26that, in a way that the title of that discussion
00:04:29no longer mentions the case of
00:04:32Croatia and the case of
00:04:35Gospić, which actually shows that their goal all along was not to
00:04:39remediate the problem that arose, but to remediate
00:04:43political damage. More experienced former
00:04:46protagonists of the political arena say they expected more. I
00:04:49expected that uh, the government
00:04:53would react much faster, that it would react
00:04:57operationally immediately. Nothing was done to
00:05:00calm that
00:05:03fear, nothing serious, nothing concrete except
00:05:06verbally, that's not enough. And at the end of the day, the Institute
00:05:10for Public Health reports that based on samples in Gospić,
00:05:14both water and food are safe for consumption. Hrvoje
00:05:17Krešić, N1 Zagreb.
00:05:30The scientific council gathered at the University of Zagreb at
00:05:343:30 PM, but, as we know, it is closed to the
00:05:37public. Our Katarina Plantak is following
00:05:40everything. Katarina, is there an end in sight to
00:05:42the meeting and are statements for
00:05:44the 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,
00:05:55statements for the public are planned after the meeting
00:05:59at 6:15 PM.
00:06:02So, for the first time since its establishment this Monday,
00:06:06today the scientific council met, it has
00:06:09a total of, it has the president of the Zagreb...
00:06:12rector Stjepan Lakušić and the deputy
00:06:15president Krunoslav Capak, otherwise the director of the Croatian Institute for
00:06:19Public Health and another five members, today they are discussing
00:06:23solutions which they will then send
00:06:27to the government regarding the remediation of waste in Gospić,
00:06:30as for Krunoslav Capak, there were criticisms
00:06:34regarding his appointment to this
00:06:37council from the association, i.e., the initiative Gospić our home,
00:06:41they complained. and expressed doubts
00:06:44about the independence of this body given that
00:06:47he is in the administration of the teaching institute Andrija Štampar
00:06:51which participated in the findings and conducted the expert
00:06:55findings in Gospić as well as in other
00:06:58locations where waste was illegally dumped,
00:07:02however, yesterday Stjepan Lakušić said that
00:07:05this council is independent, that it consists of
00:07:08experts, that the government asked them and they will provide
00:07:12the best and expert solutions so that
00:07:15illegal waste in Gospić is removed as soon as possible
00:07:19and so that there is no risk to
00:07:22human health, but then further pollution
00:07:25of soil, water and air. after
00:07:29this meeting ends, they will then send solutions to the government, they said
00:07:33that they have studied all the materials they received from the government,
00:07:36next week, as announced by Minister Vučković, Tuesday
00:07:40September 22nd should also be presented
00:07:44the remediation plan after seeing what this
00:07:47scientific team of experts proposed
00:07:50to the government, what solutions they have
00:07:53and uh what they have come up with, as I said at
00:07:566:15 PM, Stjepan
00:07:59Lakušić, the president of that council, should
00:08:02give a statement, then we should
00:08:05find out more, so we are staying here and
00:08:09uh waiting for the statement.
00:08:13Thank you, Katarina, this was live from Zagreb, our Katarina Plantak.
00:08:28As the President of the European Commission, Ursula
00:08:32Vonnerlajen, announced in her State of the Union address, Canada wants to
00:08:35somehow join the European Union, confirmed Canadian Prime Minister
00:08:39Mark Carney, despite Donald Trump's threats.
00:08:43Regardless of formal geographical restrictions for
00:08:46membership, it is the most European
00:08:49non-European country, as Carney has said before.
00:08:52rekao.
00:08:55Whatever this marriage ends up being called, Mark Carney
00:08:58confirms, Canada wants to be with the European Union.
00:09:12question for Europe uh, the the terms they use, I think
00:09:16uh, what is fundamental as all presidents
00:09:19of of Europe share, and I believe all
00:09:22parliamentarians both in Canada and Europe, take the
00:09:25view is what matters is the substance, what are we actually
00:09:28building together, how do we combine our strengths in a way that serve
00:09:32our people better? Associate member of the
00:09:35European Union, and Canada wants that, no matter what Donald
00:09:39Trump says, they are already used to threats. is
00:09:42laughable, look uh, the whole thing with Canada, Canada has been a
00:09:46terrible trade partner, and uh, no, I
00:09:50don't see that, and if they do that, if I think it's an all hostile act,
00:09:54I will put very serious tariffs or stop trading with
00:09:57Europe on many things, so if they do that, if
00:10:01Europe does that with a bad intention, if it's a good
00:10:04intention, that's
00:10:05fine,
00:10:09empty threat, Carney has already shown that he will not
00:10:13kneel before Trump, but his goal is certainly not conflict, but more options for
00:10:17Canada. Together, the European Union and Canada are
00:10:20stronger. Canadians are united, that nobody is going
00:10:23to tell us what language we speak.
00:10:31For many, the association of Canada and the European Union is a sexy story,
00:10:35but there will certainly be a lot of resistance. In the streets of Toronto,
00:10:39mostly positive sentiment. We've been
00:10:42very dependent on the United States, deeply integrated,
00:10:45exceedingly so since NAFTA in the
00:10:4890s really has pushed us into a situation
00:10:52where we're vulnerable and that has been exploited. so
00:10:55for us in Europe we need to be taking advantage of well we've got
00:10:59partners and friends who are democratically aligned
00:11:02who share many of the same values and cultural traditions. i think it's
00:11:06great to develop trade
00:11:10the world. i think we're a little bit behind in developing some of our natural
00:11:13resources to offer these products to sell to them. i think that they would love to have our
00:11:17products if we were able to deliver them like
00:11:19natural. Canada's trade
00:11:23is 10 times greater with the United States than with the European
00:11:26Union. Europe cannot change this dependence, but it can gradually
00:11:30reduce it and strengthen Carney's leverage against
00:11:33Trump, if a total conflict does not occur.
00:11:51Canada wants to be an associate member, even though such a status
00:11:55formally does not yet exist, and the existing comprehensive agreement
00:11:58with the European Union is in a regime of temporary application because 10
00:12:02members have not yet ratified it. There will be no shortage of skepticism
00:12:06for this marriage. But Canada is not the last overseas
00:12:10country with European roots that could follow the same path.
00:12:13Bizarre or not, some members of the British Commonwealth could
00:12:17have at least one foot in the European Union, after
00:12:20Britain has already jumped out of it with both feet. Ivan
00:12:23Hrstić, N1.
00:12:27The establishment of a Security Council which would gather, in addition to the member states
00:12:31of the European Union, also Great Britain, Canada,
00:12:34Norway and Ukraine, was commented on in our new day by
00:12:37foreign policy analyst Božo
00:12:39Kovačević.
00:12:42Work continues on establishing strategic
00:12:46autonomy. The period of Biden's mandate has actually
00:12:49failed in terms of this aspect of the European
00:12:52Union's activities, because the Europeans believed that Trump
00:12:56would not return to power and that relations between
00:13:00Europe and the United States would be
00:13:04more or less as they were before. However, that did not
00:13:07happen, now it is uh a necessity for
00:13:11the European Union, if it wants to be an autonomous player in the system
00:13:14of international relations, to be able
00:13:18to defend
00:13:19itself.
00:13:31The student movement, ahead of the elections in Serbia, launched a cycling
00:13:35action "Guardians of the Constitution" which will continue in the coming days throughout
00:13:39Serbia with the message that the constitution must apply equally to everyone in
00:13:43every place, therefore the constitution travels through Serbia from
00:13:46Belgrade to Vojvodina, from Belgrade to the south of Serbia, through
00:13:50cities where citizens will meet, talk and
00:13:53leave their signatures, said the
00:13:56students who set off on bicycles from Belgrade all the way to
00:14:00Kragujevac.
00:14:03We have the opportunity during these 10 days that we will be cycling,
00:14:07to pass through almost all places in Serbia, to cover as
00:14:10much of this area as possible, so that as
00:14:14many citizens as possible hear about us, but not only hear, but
00:14:18see us. Torrents carry cars, roads are
00:14:22under water, the hospital is also flooded. A strong storm
00:14:26hit Barcelona and Valencia. Near Barcelona,
00:14:29a 48-year-old man died after a torrent carried away
00:14:33his car. Water penetrated parts of hospitals,
00:14:37numerous roads are closed, public transport is delayed, and
00:14:40flights are cancelled. In parts of Catalonia, a red
00:14:44warning is in effect. In some places, more than 90
00:14:47liters of rain fell per square
00:14:49meter. S'han

00:15:17After several nights of pause, Russia again launched missile
00:15:20attacks on Ukraine. According to military sources, about six
00:15:24Zircon missiles were fired at Kyiv. Residential and commercial
00:15:28buildings and a warehouse were damaged, and at least 11 people were
00:15:31injured. In parts of the city, the water supply was cut.
00:15:35Zaporizhzhia was also attacked with
00:15:37ballistic missiles. At the same time, Ukraine attacked targets in
00:15:41Russia with drones, including Rostov and Yaroslavl,
00:15:44which led to several Russian airports temporarily restricting
00:15:48traffic.
00:15:51Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov commented on
00:15:55statements by European leaders about the need to prepare for a possible
00:15:58war with Russia. He reiterated that Moscow, as he said,
00:16:02has no intention of attacking Europe.
00:16:06We have
00:16:09repeatedly stated that we are not going to attack Europe. The
00:16:13president recently elaborated on this topic,
00:16:17emphasizing that we have no interests
00:16:20in doing so. However, if Europe, which
00:16:23daily talks about preparing for war against Russia,
00:16:27attacks the Russian Federation,
00:16:29then it will be a completely different
00:16:33war, and it will be very short.
00:16:36The Minister the Russian Ambassador to
00:16:40Croatia, Alexander Nurizade, for
00:16:43a series of security incidents in the member states of the European
00:16:46Union. The Ministry condemned the violations of airspace
00:16:50and territorial waters, as well as drone incidents in
00:16:53several European countries, as well as the intensification of Russian
00:16:57hybrid activities. They called on Russia to respect
00:17:00the sovereignty of the Union's member states and prevent further
00:17:04security risks. Nurizade rejected the accusations
00:17:07as unproven and claimed that it was a coordinated
00:17:11provocation aimed at further worsening relations with Russia.
00:17:27US President Donald Trump says he hopes for a swift end to the war
00:17:30with Iran, which has entered its seventh month. He claims that
00:17:34Tehran wants to reach an agreement and that he received a direct
00:17:37message from Iran, but he did not reveal its content.
00:17:41Trump is scheduled to meet with leaders of Persian Gulf countries
00:17:45on Tuesday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New
00:17:48York. According to Axios, they will discuss US
00:17:52plans for the post-war period. The conflict began in late
00:17:55February with US-Israeli attacks on Iran, after which
00:17:59Tehran retaliated with attacks on Israel and US bases in
00:18:02the Gulf.
00:18:16The UN fact-finding mission on Iran claims that
00:18:20there are reasonable grounds for believing that the United
00:18:23States committed war crimes in two attacks on civilian facilities in
00:18:27Iran. In the attack on a school in Minab, according to Iranian
00:18:31data, more than 150 people died, including about
00:18:34120 children. The mission also
00:18:38considers the attack on a sports center in Lamerd a war crime. At the same time,
00:18:41it concluded that Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity
00:18:45during the suppression of anti-government protests,
00:18:49including unlawful killings, torture, and arbitrary
00:18:52arrests. The US and Iran have not yet commented on
00:18:56the new report.
00:18:59At least 21 people, including 11 children and
00:19:02six women, died in the collapse of a six-story building in
00:19:06Gaza City. More than 25 people were injured. The building,
00:19:10previously heavily damaged in Israeli attacks, was
00:19:14a shelter for about a hundred displaced Palestinians.
00:19:17Rescuers pulled 45 survivors
00:19:20during the sixteen-hour operation, while desperate residents
00:19:23searched the ruins with their bare hands.
00:19:37beside the collapsed building. Meaning, the tents are
00:19:4130 meters away from the building, but exactly. So this
00:19:44building had been dropping
00:19:48stones for a while, and people didn't take it seriously. Suddenly,
00:19:51at 3:10 AM, the building completely
00:19:54collapsed
00:19:57on the ground.
00:20:01800 bodies still buried under the rubble in the Gaza
00:20:05Strip.
00:20:07Last year, Palestinian civil defense retrieved more than
00:20:11800 bodies, and the UN warns that at the current
00:20:14pace, the search could last at least another 10 years.
00:20:18The UN Human Rights Office claims that Israel restricts the entry
00:20:22of heavy machinery, expert personnel, and identification equipment.
00:20:37where that were pulverized by Israeli attacks, the remains
00:20:41recovered so far may only be the tip of the
00:20:44iceberg. much of Gaza has been flattened by
00:20:48Israeli bombing.
00:20:55The United States refused to issue a visa to Palestinian President
00:20:59Mahmoud Abbas to participate in the UN
00:21:02General Assembly in New York. The Secretary of State claims that visa sanctions
00:21:06against Palestinian officials have been extended due to their attempts to
00:21:10internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian
00:21:13conflict, as they state, by initiating proceedings against
00:21:16Israel before international courts. For the second
00:21:19year in a row, Abbas will not personally address world
00:21:23leaders. The General Assembly should vote
00:21:26on allowing him to address via video link.
00:21:29Palestinian authorities assessed the US decision as harmful
00:21:33to relations with the US and efforts to achieve
00:21:36a two-state solution.
00:21:50The mother of a three-year-old child, severely injured in a fire in Zadar,
00:21:53has been ordered into investigative detention due to the danger of repeating the criminal
00:21:57act. The prosecution suspects the 36-year-old
00:22:00of violating the child's rights and endangering
00:22:04life and body. The child was alone in the apartment at the time of the fire
00:22:08and suffered severe burns to between
00:22:1140 and 60% of the body and respiratory
00:22:14tract injuries. Critically endangered, he was transferred to the Children's
00:22:18Hospital in Zagreb. The investigation found that the fire
00:22:22was caused by a short circuit in an extension
00:22:24cord.
00:22:27British media have been writing about the dramatic moments that
00:22:31tourists, they write, experienced during recent fires on
00:22:34Brač. They claim that while the fire was approaching a
00:22:38resort they were in, some sought salvation by jumping into
00:22:42the sea and boarding boats. Some guests
00:22:45accuse hotel staff of leaving them without help.
00:22:49The hotel rejects this, saying they stayed until the last
00:22:52moment. Slovenian tourists who were also there
00:22:56at the time of the fire in the resort have no
00:22:58complaints.
00:23:01there was no information because there was no one on the
00:23:04loudspeaker or to turn on some
00:23:07lights. Listen, the hotel staff reacted
00:23:11well.
00:23:14firefighters too. In such a situation, it's
00:23:17difficult, not everything.
00:23:20but here, no one was harmed,
00:23:24everyone is alive, that's the most important thing, I,
00:23:27we two have no
00:23:30complaint about that,
00:23:33no. Guests received
00:23:37information at the same time as
00:23:39us, meaning the reception manager immediately
00:23:42activated the alarm and
00:23:45employees, meaning our
00:23:49head chef. He stayed last in the resort, was on the last
00:23:52boat, helping firefighters
00:23:55load people and before that, search for people in
00:23:59the settlement. It was a panicked state, everything
00:24:02was burning around us, it came with such speed that it was
00:24:06a natural disaster, in three minutes everything
00:24:10was burning, everything absolutely around
00:24:14our resort was burning, and thank God that
00:24:18nothing happened to anyone, there. "We were busy at that
00:24:21moment preventing greater
00:24:24damage, turning off the gas so that there would be no
00:24:27explosion.
00:24:30Firefighters claim that evacuating guests by land was not
00:24:34possible, because when they arrived, the resort was already surrounded by fire,
00:24:38all exit routes were cut off. That's why, they
00:24:41say, they pulled guests back into the hotel and closed the facility to protect
00:24:45them from smoke and heat, while firefighters defended it from the outside.
00:24:48The fire spread quickly, the parking lot was already affected, and a
00:24:52vehicle exploded. the biggest problem with this whole story is that
00:24:56people confuse the terms
00:24:59evacuation and rescue, meaning evacuation
00:25:03is a safe, organized, calm evacuation of a threatened facility before the danger itself.
00:25:06The moment we arrived on the scene,
00:25:10Gava was already surrounded by fire, meaning the fire directly threatened Gava
00:25:14and all surrounding nature,
00:25:17and the evacuation itself could not have been
00:25:20carried out due to the extremely rapid spread of the fire. As soon as we
00:25:24approached the Gava resort, we concluded that it was impossible to
00:25:26evacuate civilians from the resort
00:25:30precisely because all roads were
00:25:31cut off.
00:25:34Five new specialized vehicles for fighting forest
00:25:38fires were received by fire brigades in Metković, Biograd
00:25:41and Samobor, and by voluntary fire departments Bilje and Bilice. The vehicles
00:25:45with four-wheel drive are intended for interventions in
00:25:48active terrain, a total of 78 such vehicles
00:25:52have been contracted for purchase. The Chief Fire Commander Slavko Tucaković
00:25:56states that this further strengthens the operational capabilities
00:25:59of firefighters. the value of each vehicle is
00:26:03282 thousand euros, what does
00:26:06that mean, it means an increase in the operational readiness and mobility
00:26:10of our fire units, I always hope they
00:26:13won't be used, but we saw this year a large number of fires
00:26:17and these vehicles were already at all
00:26:21fire sites, they are proving to be, as forest fire vehicles, that they
00:26:24will certainly be needed in the future.
00:26:27President Zoran Milanović hosted
00:26:40the 11th Diplomatic Harvest in Plešivica, which gathered
00:26:44heads of diplomatic missions and international organizations in
00:26:47Croatia. Despite the rain,
00:26:51diplomats tried their hand at grape harvesting and socialized with
00:26:54local winemakers. The event promotes
00:26:57Plešivica, its winemaking tradition, and local
00:27:00producers. The President left without a statement
00:27:03to reporters.
00:27:06Yes, they are good opportunity for local contacts, but they are also good
00:27:10opportunity for contacts with the
00:27:12Croatian um
00:27:16the administration and also of course with the president of the
00:27:19republic, so for us it's very important to
00:27:23have formal and informal events, they both go
00:27:26together. So last but not least, German or Croatian
00:27:30wines? Both, both. I mean, they are...

00:27:45of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Unska street has been renovated.
00:27:48The renovated buildings were officially opened, and employees received
00:27:52modern lecture halls, laboratories, and workspaces
00:27:55of approximately 18.4
00:27:58meters. The renovation is worth more than 70 million euros.
00:28:04We are very pleased with the opportunity to have been given the chance to invest such
00:28:08a large, such a large amount
00:28:12in the renovation of these two buildings, we are
00:28:15we got, of course, earthquake-safe buildings, we got energy-efficient
00:28:19buildings, we got buildings that function
00:28:23with renewable energy sources, we also got
00:28:26much better fire protection than those facilities
00:28:30had.
00:28:36"And the government approved the city of Split to use state land in
00:28:40Stobreč, where the new Hajduk camp should be built.
00:28:43The project is planned on a plot of almost
00:28:4672.4 meters, whose value is estimated
00:28:50at 8.7 million euros. The city of Split
00:28:53will get the right of a citizen for 50 years, and it will not
00:28:57have to pay a fee that would otherwise amount to almost 6
00:29:00million euros. In addition..." Split will be able to transfer the right of construction
00:29:04through a public tender, but the land may
00:29:08only be used for the planned football camp. From the moment
00:29:12the contract is signed, a period of five years begins to run
00:29:15in which the project must be realized.
