00:00:00'we have to bed up the castle with fresh straw, so that's
00:00:04done with diesel. far from the
00:00:07forect, the rising cost of diesel is also being felt in this
00:00:11field in North Wilture.
00:00:14much of the food we consume depends on diesel. the
00:00:17beef at this farm goes to MNS, but the cost of producing
00:00:20it is skyrocketing. it's terrifying
00:00:24actually, because you're looking at this saying, "it's becoming
00:00:27unaffordable, but will the diesel stocks dry up?" "what happens if they
00:00:31dry up? we've only got a certain amount of diesel that we can store here at the
00:00:34farm. how much can you stockpile? how long will this go
00:00:37on for? without diesel we we really wouldn't be
00:00:41able to to feed our cattle, let
00:00:44alone feed the people.
00:00:47and before farm even reaches fork, the beef Liz
00:00:50produces has got to get
00:00:52there.
00:00:55allage firms are some of the biggest consumers of diesel with
00:00:58costs nearly. since the start of the year, it's really
00:01:02hard because you get people ringing up and they say, oh, can you give me a coat
00:01:06to um, take a delivery
00:01:09from one place to another, you ask the details and things like that, and they
00:01:13say, how much? you try and pass to the customer
00:01:16just a little bit, but you don't want to end up losing the custom. this is just
00:01:20literally like the last nailing the
00:01:23coffin really of everything else that a harige company's got to deal
00:01:26with, and now we're having to deal with the price of the fuel.
00:01:30Exclusive analysis given to Sky News shows that the rise in the cost of
00:01:34diesel is adding 35 million pounds a week to
00:01:38Holly's fuel bills in the UK. The cost of running a
00:01:41long distance lorry has gone up by more than £9,00 pounds a
00:01:45year. And data shows electric trucks are still
00:01:48rare. 97% of new
00:01:51lorries registered last year were
00:01:53diesel. All this ultimately means the
00:01:57price we pay at the supermarket goes up.
00:02:00so how long will all this go on for? well, the 100 million extra barrels
00:02:04of oil and diesel announced on Friday is welcome news, but there are
00:02:07questions over how long it will take to have an impact on the four
00:02:11court, and also how long those fresh reserves will
00:02:14actually last. so this release, which is
00:02:18approximately about 17% of
00:02:22of of the overall reserves which is located mainly in France and
00:02:25Germany, um, would probably
00:02:28buy you time for 10 days.
00:02:30and assuming that the entire reserves are being released, it's a
00:02:33temporary measure, it will have some impact on prices, but
00:02:37it does not address the fundamental challenges, which
00:02:40is the shortage is coming from two
00:02:44live conflicts, one in Europe and the other one in the Middle
00:02:47East,
00:02:50those conflicts have led to the geopolitical tussel over
00:02:54diesel this week, the impact on us and the
00:02:57supply chains we rely on could...
00:03:14continue with broken villages, burned cars on the roadside, and damaged
00:03:18anti-drone nets. We are approaching
00:03:21tiktok. as a the artillery positions. They set off before dawn so as not to become targets for Russian
00:03:25drones.
00:03:30The guys have a large MLRS system hidden, a Czech vampire.
00:03:34From it, the soldiers have been destroying the occupiers around
00:03:37Avdiivka for years. We could allow ourselves to come one kilometer
00:03:41from the front, from 40 pieces, and quietly
00:03:44leave. My crew worked four packages in one day,
00:03:47and that was a small record for us, but now, due to the abundance
00:03:51of drones, driving out a large vehicle is too risky. It instantly
00:03:55becomes a target for the enemy, so the vampire works
00:03:58exclusively during Russian assaults, when columns are moving,
00:04:02when mechanized assaults are happening, when there is a question,
00:04:05for example, of infantry concentration,
00:04:09there is data that in this square there is a command
00:04:13center, ammunition
00:04:15depots, concentration,
00:04:18for example, drone operators come in a
00:04:21heap and then disperse. Instead, for daily
00:04:24work, they increasingly use Partisan, also known as Banderomobil,
00:04:28also known as Tryzubka. The fighters say three
00:04:31pipes, trident, by the way,
00:04:34patriotically and quite melodiously
00:04:38with this machine. Many times smaller than a standard
00:04:41multiple rocket launcher, it also does not go out into open
00:04:45terrain as before, hidden, it shoots from the forest
00:04:48belt. The guys have been working with Partisan for a little over half a year,
00:04:52This is the location of UAV crews, which we work on
00:04:55antennas, on the type of dugouts themselves. Well,
00:04:59and some small transport vehicles that are
00:05:01hidden in plantings. Each rocket
00:05:05weighs over 60 kg. Despite such weight,
00:05:08Partisan is loaded in a matter of minutes. This
00:05:11Ares weighs plus minus 62 kg, so this is
00:05:14a bit for an artilleryman, this is the life
00:05:17of our infantry. The most skilled former infantryman knows
00:05:21firsthand how even three shots can radically change the
00:05:24situation at zero. When you sit, they constantly cover you,
00:05:28and 24/7 works from our
00:05:31side, it doesn't matter what
00:05:35artillery, well, in our section even
00:05:37S60, when it worked,
00:05:41they fell silent, this is... well, a very ancient system,
00:05:44it's anti-aircraft. Partisan's task this morning is not
00:05:48to destroy, but to cover. It will work on the positions of enemy
00:05:51drones. During this time, our soldiers on the front line will be
00:05:55able to carry out rotation. Our guys are going to positions, and
00:05:59we are working on
00:06:01FPV take-off
00:06:04points. Clarification of coordinates,
00:06:08correction and pencils. That's what the rockets from Partisan are called.
00:06:12The defenders fly at the
00:06:13occupiers.
00:06:18Aerial reconnaissance reports, three shots hit the target area.
00:06:22This means that the Russians' point and equipment are damaged. While
00:06:25the invaders were hiding, our soldiers were able to break through
00:06:29to their positions. Darya Nazarova, Andriy Khupovka, Zaporizhzhia

00:06:51Do you like to read and if so, are you part of the book talk
00:06:55community? Finding an exciting book is a great
00:06:58feeling, but searching for new one, waiting for the next volume, or
00:07:02for it to be translated into your language, that can be
00:07:05frustrating. Can artificial intelligence help us out
00:07:08and improve our reading experience? Let's find out.
00:07:15AI is no stranger to literature, it recommends what we
00:07:18should read and predict which books could be successful, and of course
00:07:22AI can also help with writing.
00:07:252.6 million books that came out in 2023 was
00:07:28self-published. they weren't all created by machines, but
00:07:32Amazon introduced a new limit of three uploads per day due to the
00:07:35rising number of AI generated books. so how does this
00:07:39impact the range of books we can choose from and does make it any
00:07:43better?
00:07:45going through blubs and online reviews can be time
00:07:48consuming. AI tools recommend books tailored to the
00:07:52specific interests of readers. on social
00:07:55media, it gets a human touch. on tiktok, many
00:07:58content creators post videos reviewing books under the
00:08:01hashtag#book. these reviews have enormous
00:08:05reach with more than 72.5 million
00:08:08posts. i think it's gotten lot of people to
00:08:11share their personal. to stories in a really meaningful
00:08:14way, and it's gotten lot of people to either start reading
00:08:18or get back into reading. book talk is
00:08:21also a huge business. users can buy some of the recommended
00:08:25books directly through the app. bookstores have shelves
00:08:28dedicated to book talk reviews and well-known
00:08:31publishers have collaborated with
00:08:34result, sales in genres like fantasy have grown and certain
00:08:37books get lot of hype. one prominent example is US
00:08:41author Colleen hover: book talk clips like reaction videos
00:08:45went viral as the algorithm pushed them into user feeds,
00:08:48driving a 661% increase in sales of her older
00:08:52titles. in theory, social media could offer
00:08:56more exposure to lesser known or marginalized
00:08:58authors.
00:09:01i think that book talk has helped bring attention to authors and
00:09:04stories that might have not reached such a wide audience
00:09:07before. at the same time the algorithm does kind of favor
00:09:11these books and author. that are not so diverse because
00:09:15the algorithm favors content that's likely to appeal to users, it
00:09:18often amplifies trends. finding diverse
00:09:21authors requires active searching. book
00:09:24talk, bookstagram and similar platforms offer ways to discover new
00:09:28books and authors. at the same time, AI is also
00:09:31influencing the text themselves. japanese
00:09:34author riak had chat gpt write a small part of her
00:09:38novel, sympathy tower tokyo, and she won a
00:09:41literary award. Some writers were not
00:09:44amused: developing characters, creating a
00:09:48plot, filling blank pages, is this something AI can help
00:09:51with?
00:09:54I'm ambevalent. According to a survey of
00:09:57258 British authors conducted by the University of
00:10:00Cambridge, more than half fear AI could replace
00:10:03them. Many are skeptical about recent
00:10:06developments.
00:10:15AI is the biggest talking point at the Frankfurt book fair
00:10:19as one of the world's largest book fairs, it's an important international
00:10:22gathering for the industry author.
00:10:44I can use it to create plot structure and character configurations, but
00:10:47I can also let it
00:10:48will.
00:10:52publishers mostly use AI. tising,
00:10:55blurbs and marketing. Some
00:10:58tools can generate sales projections with up to 90%
00:11:02accuracy. Certain algorithms can even predict which
00:11:06books might become best sellers and which won't. AI
00:11:09generated book covers are controversial. Some
00:11:13publishers have faced criticism for using them, while others are
00:11:17curious to see what AI can create.
00:11:20One aspect is productivity, improving
00:11:23it and making workflows faster. and more
00:11:25efficient, that's the less controversial
00:11:29aspect, but I don't think burying your head in
00:11:33the sand and hoping it'll go away is ever the right
00:11:36approach. copyright is major
00:11:40issue, AI systems often train using copyrighted
00:11:44works without permission and without paying the
00:11:47authors. in the US and india open AI and
00:11:50anthropic are now facing
00:11:52lawsuits,
00:12:25fair payment for training data, greater transparency in AI
00:12:28usage and legal protections for
00:12:31creatives. despite AI being trained on
00:12:34novels, many in the literary scene believe that it will never be able
00:12:38to replace human creativity and the art of writing, even as
00:12:42it improves. however, when it comes to non-fiction and
00:12:45translation, AI is gaining a strong
00:12:47foothold.
00:12:52artificial intelligence is based on statistical.
00:13:11AI uses probabilities to translate, it recognizes patterns, not meaning, unlike human translators.
00:13:13Nevertheless, AI has entered the industry. The
00:13:16consequences are also being felt in this translators association
00:13:20in Buenos
00:13:21ires.
00:13:25something entirely new that's being added to our work and we need to adapt to
00:13:28it. i believe our work will change with this new
00:13:31tool.
00:13:35AI can help with translation, while it does
00:13:39perform better with factual texts, it also has its
00:13:42limits. automated choices can change the meaning or
00:13:46create connections that were never intended. machines also
00:13:49struggle with tone, cultural references and emotional
00:13:52nuance.
00:13:56Virginia Rubiolo has been working as a translator for 15
00:13:59years, she finds the flaws in AI very
00:14:02noticeable.
00:14:06We took a poem and ran it through chat Gpt, deepl and Google
00:14:10Translate. The poem described someone lying motionless
00:14:14in a place and was clearly about death. No ai
00:14:17was able to interpret it
00:14:19correctly.
00:14:56Others are more skeptical. After
00:14:5913 years, Stephanie Shefer from Germany has lost her job
00:15:02as a magazine translator to AI. She also knows
00:15:06translators who now correct AI translations for very little
00:15:09pay.
00:15:12Das bedeutet, this makes us very worried about our work, our jobs,
00:15:16because costs are being cut all over the place, or need to be
00:15:18cut.
00:15:22Quantität als auf Qualität setzt. She
00:15:25believes human translation is a sign of quality that could actually
00:15:29help publishers stand
00:15:30out.
00:15:33Could made by humans become a new mark of quality?
00:15:37At least you could be sure that you're reading books written by human authors.
00:15:41It's becoming increasingly difficult to tell AI and human
00:15:45works apart, and illustrations too.
00:15:48With just few prompts, AI can generate impressive
00:15:51images. Tests have shown that viewers find it hard to distinguish
00:15:54between works created by humans and those created by
00:15:58AI. Interestingly though, the human made images were
00:16:01preferred. But what does this mean for
00:16:03children?
00:16:06Heartfelt drawing. elaborate illustrations and artistic
00:16:09covers, in kids books, it's not just the text that counts, but also
00:16:13the visual appeal.
00:16:16Unfortunately, I worry that children wouldn't recognize an AI generated
00:16:20book. Using AI tools,
00:16:24illustrations, pictures and comics can be generated within
00:16:26seconds, so where's the difference?
00:16:30many illustrators create their drawings with meticulous effort
00:16:34and attention to detail. Readers appreciate them for this.
00:16:38Now there is new digital
00:16:40competition.
00:16:45I can't think and doesn't have feelings, but that's
00:16:48exactly what children's books need to encourage thinking and evoke
00:16:52emotions. It becomes problematic when they're created
00:16:55without this thought
00:16:56process.
00:17:00This publisher specializes in non-fiction for children and
00:17:03teenagers. They're already using AI tools, for instance in
00:17:07books.
00:17:46We never use AI to replace human work, for
00:17:50illustrations aimed at younger age groups where we use drawings, we
00:17:53believe human creativity and artistry are more valuable and
00:17:57relevant to
00:17:57children.
00:18:05For some illustrators, AI can at least be a useful tool. helping them channel their thoughts
00:18:08and emotions into their drawings more
00:18:10easily.
00:18:15so are AI, social media and algorithms improving the
00:18:19world of books? let's check. do algorithms
00:18:22make it easier to find your next favorite book? yes,
00:18:26but they mostly show us what many other people like. to find
00:18:30something truly new, you have to search actively yourself.
00:18:33are books getting better? AI generated books are being
00:18:36published. on mass, they're often cheap, low
00:18:39quality, and there are even fakes of works by real authors.
00:18:43for well-written novels, you should still rely on humans.
00:18:47publishers can use AI to speed up the production process, that
00:18:51won't necessarily make the books cheaper, but they could be published
00:18:54sooner. and finally, can AI help with writing and
00:18:58illustrating? in my opinion, yes it can, but
00:19:01only if it's used as a tool. real creativity comes from
00:19:05humans. one thing is certain,
00:19:07We need clear rules and labels
00:19:47Dear viewers, greetings. I am Maja Štrbac, you are watching the review
00:19:51of the day. Here's what
00:19:51we highlight.
00:19:55Will the session of the National Security Committee be held? N1
00:19:59learns, not this week after all. The chairman of the committee, Ranko
00:20:03Ostojić, told us, neither SOA will be
00:20:05present.
00:20:09Tomorrow, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković will present to the Croatian Parliament
00:20:13the annual report on the work of the government, followed by a debate
00:20:16on the opposition's proposal for his
00:20:18impeachment.
00:20:22The foreign ministers of the European Union today adopted almost
00:20:251600 new sanctions aimed at the Russian military-industrial
00:20:28complex.
00:20:29kompleks.
00:20:33Despite Trump's announcement of a ceasefire between Ukraine and
00:20:36Russia and Zelensky's plea for a sixty-day ceasefire
00:20:39due to the elections, the Kremlin stubbornly rejects
00:20:43the proposals.
00:20:59Tomorrow, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković will present to the Croatian Parliament
00:21:03the annual report on the work of the government, after which a debate on the opposition's
00:21:06proposal for his impeachment will follow. The opposition demands his political
00:21:10responsibility for the case of illegal waste disposal in
00:21:13Gospić. We will now go live to the HDZ presidency where
00:21:17our Katarina Plantak is located.
00:21:20Katarina, we heard Andrej Plenković, how do
00:21:24you read his messages, the messages we heard at today's
00:21:28presidency?
00:21:31That's right, the HDZ presidency just finished
00:21:35and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković also stood before the cameras.
00:21:38We asked him, of course, about the impeachment that will be debated
00:21:42in the Croatian Parliament tomorrow, he said that this is not the first
00:21:46time that the opposition has tried
00:21:49to mm overthrow the government in such
00:21:52ways, trying to actually
00:21:55come to power, he also said that
00:21:59as for Gospić, the opposition is not interested
00:22:02in Gospić, but their only exclusive interest
00:22:05is overthrowing the government, he said that he will be in parliament all day
00:22:09tomorrow, first he will present, as you said yourself, the annual report,
00:22:12then after that he will respond to the opposition
00:22:16to everything that is happening, he did not miss the opportunity
00:22:20to call out the opposition for, as he
00:22:23said before, spreading hysteria, that is, he
00:22:27said that the opposition should apologize
00:22:30to the citizens and residents of Lika for
00:22:33spreading panic, that is, to
00:22:36family farms, for everything that we
00:22:39have been hearing for the past few months, but we can
00:22:43also listen to what Prime Minister Plenković said about tomorrow's
00:22:46impeachment.
00:22:49Interesting, we will be there all day, in the morning first
00:22:53the annual report on the work of the government, the third in this
00:22:56mandate, where we will try to summarize
00:22:59everything we have achieved in the past year,
00:23:03of course, report to members of parliament,
00:23:06but also to the Croatian public, and
00:23:09then another initiative of
00:23:12no confidence, today I asked my
00:23:15associates to look at the statistics, in our
00:23:18modest 10 years of mandate there were a total
00:23:22of 43
00:23:25interpellations and questions of no confidence, it even surprised me
00:23:28that there were so many, uh, 26 rejected, nine
00:23:32were not debated because the topic was exhausted, one withdrawn,
00:23:36seven in procedure, so these are
00:23:39instruments that the opposition uses, we are already
00:23:42used to following them and of course
00:23:45responding to them, all in all
00:23:47expected. The session of the Parliamentary Committee
00:23:51for Internal Policy and National Security, at which the findings of
00:23:55SOA on illegal waste disposal in Gospić were to be discussed,
00:23:58will not be held this week after all, but a meeting
00:24:02was held today with the scientific council for expert support on
00:24:05remediation, so Katarina, are there any concrete actions being
00:24:09taken regarding
00:24:10remediation?
00:24:14Prime Minister Plenković said that as far
00:24:17as actions are concerned, everything is going according to plan and exactly as
00:24:20he said it would go this summer,
00:24:23he said that institutions are doing their job, that those who are
00:24:27responsible for bringing waste to Gospić will be
00:24:30held accountable while remediation is going according to plan, he
00:24:34said that bags of
00:24:37non-hazardous waste are being transported to cement factories, he
00:24:40again accused the opposition of
00:24:43spreading untruths, he said that neither the government
00:24:46nor the cement factories would ever allow
00:24:50people to be poisoned, as the opposition has been saying
00:24:53for the past few weeks, as for the remediation of
00:24:57buried waste, he said that options and possibilities
00:25:00are still being considered, and
00:25:04the fund and the Ministry of Environmental Protection were
00:25:07supposed to meet with citizen initiatives regarding
00:25:11remediation this week, at least that's what was announced when the
00:25:14remediation plan was presented, Prime Minister Plenković said that
00:25:18the ministry is still open for
00:25:22dialogue with citizen associations and that it will meet with
00:25:25them, however, it is not yet clear when, and as for
00:25:28scattered waste which should be
00:25:31remediated by a group of bidders, among
00:25:35whom is the Caesar group which is
00:25:39now covered by this expanded USKOK
00:25:42investigation, Prime Minister Plenković said that there are
00:25:45always actions and methods on
00:25:48how to solve that remediation, we asked him,
00:25:52does that mean that there is a possibility that Caesar itself
00:25:56will be removed from that group of five bidders
00:26:00and that the remaining bidders who responded to the
00:26:03public call, will then be the ones who will remediate the hazardous
00:26:07scattered waste, he said that that is one of
00:26:10the possibilities, about the scientific council that met
00:26:13today uh Branko Bačić also
00:26:17spoke, so we can watch the statements of Prime Minister
00:26:20Plenković, as well as Branko
00:26:22Bačić.
00:26:25As for Gospić, generally allow me to say a few introductory
00:26:29remarks, I think it is quite important now, so... So, when
00:26:33this summer, in the middle of vacation, I
00:26:36returned to Zagreb, I sent several messages:
00:26:39first, those who uh are
00:26:42guilty, or it happens to them in a criminal
00:26:45proceeding for the disposal
00:26:48of uh hazardous waste or for illegal
00:26:51disposal of non-hazardous waste in Gospić will be held accountable, and we see
00:26:55that it is happening, ultimately this expansion
00:26:59of the investigation to additional physical persons, to additional
00:27:03legal persons is proof that criminal prosecution bodies, when
00:27:06it comes to uh
00:27:09committed criminal acts in Gospić are working, they are working
00:27:12independently, they are working independently and about
00:27:15responsibility, that is guilt will be decided by Croatian courts, so
00:27:19in a criminal-legal sense everything is unfolding exactly
00:27:22as I announced. The second
00:27:25part concerning remediation, you see for yourselves
00:27:28that it has begun, this was stated and confirmed today in dialogue with
00:27:32us by members of our scientific council, so
00:27:35non-hazardous waste in bags
00:27:37is uh gradually removed from
00:27:40Gospić, without any danger to human
00:27:44health, whether it is about Koromačno, whether it is about
00:27:47Našice, in accordance with permits and
00:27:50numbers and analyses, every bag is analyzed and everything
00:27:54that is included in the cement production process is
00:27:58completely the same as what cement factories
00:28:01have done so far... Holcim and let them
00:28:04work, so never would the Croatian government,
00:28:08nor the owners of those cement factories, these are private
00:28:11companies, do anything that would endanger the health of people in
00:28:14the vicinity of either Koromačno or
00:28:17Našice, because that would be,
00:28:21first, bad, no one would ever do that, second, it would be
00:28:24reputationally devastating for those companies to do such a thing,
00:28:27so that whole false story, that false narrative
00:28:31about people being poisoned,
00:28:35that is a shameless move by certain actors in the opposition,
00:28:39I said it in Parliament on Thursday, you have to be
00:28:42either evil or very malicious, then
00:28:45to lead a campaign in the
00:28:48public space, a policy, a narrative that
00:28:52declares the entire area poisoned, calls the government
00:28:55traitors, and
00:28:57causes direct economic damage to agricultural
00:29:01entities in the Lika area, instead of
00:29:05going out to a press conference and apologizing to all family farms
00:29:08in Lika-Senj County, because they declare
00:29:11their products, soil, and air
00:29:14poisoned, they
00:29:17a campaign of untruths. That will be the topic tomorrow
00:29:20afternoon, which we will certainly discuss. So,
00:29:23part of the non-hazardous waste in bags is going,
00:29:27the covering of buried waste is underway, the remediation plan has been
00:29:30presented, the minister today... at the council, when she returns and when this
00:29:34discussion is over, the dialogue will continue
00:29:37with representatives of civil associations, and as
00:29:41far as that is concerned, everything is going according to plan. As for
00:29:45dispersed hazardous waste, the
00:29:48evaluation by the Environmental Protection Fund is still ongoing,
00:29:52when they complete that process, decisions will be made. There will always
00:29:56be a legal solution to complete the process
00:29:59to the end. So, the last message. was therefore the
00:30:03criminal part, the remediation part and the health part, we also
00:30:06discussed that today with representatives
00:30:09of the scientific council, but also with the Minister of Health, so at this
00:30:13moment, not underestimating the potential danger
00:30:17of pollution, there have been no health
00:30:21threats to anyone on the street, neither in terms
00:30:24of human health, nor in terms of air
00:30:27pollution, nor has what is happening in the very
00:30:31subsoil of that... dump led to any
00:30:34serious soil pollution, that is what
00:30:38we confirmed today at the scientific council, so on all three
00:30:41points, exactly what we
00:30:44said this summer is happening, and it is happening in a way that the problem
00:30:48is being solved, not so that it remains permanently with us and
00:30:52creates some kind
00:30:54of opposition-perceptual optics
00:30:57of great poisoning, which is, of course, untrue.
