00:00:02parents still have a crucial role in supervision, but
00:00:05the law should make their job easier.
00:00:09We want to give parents back their parental role, and children
00:00:12their childhood. However, the law could come into effect
00:00:16at the earliest in 2028. But
00:00:19until then, it could undergo
00:00:22body burns. These are also certain changes. This would make the European
00:00:24Union follow other countries that have already introduced certain
00:00:27bans. Australia was the first to introduce a complete
00:00:31ban on access to social networks for children under
00:00:3416 years of age by the end of 2025, with
00:00:38million-dollar fines for platforms that do not
00:00:41comply with the rules. Duša Mlađenović,
00:00:43N1.
00:00:48At the end of the news and weather
00:00:50refinery in Yaroslavl and forecast, we hear Sara Botić. Real summer weather these days, temperatures
00:00:54above average, from Friday evening we expect a bit more clouds,
00:00:58local showers, and... at the beginning of next week, a refreshing
00:01:02cooling. Warm air still remains over our
00:01:05area, but more moisture and instability are coming from the west, and
00:01:09therefore in the coming days we expect more clouds,
00:01:12occasional rain and showers, but despite that, until Sunday the temperature
00:01:16remains from 25 to 30°.
00:01:20The weather on Friday will be partly cloudy and warm, mostly
00:01:24dry during the day, and in the evening in the west we expect transient rain and local
00:01:27showers during the night to Saturday, so... the rain will spread
00:01:31over most of the country, wind light to
00:01:34moderate, predominantly northern, and the minimum temperature in the coming
00:01:37night from 10 to 17 degrees, while Friday will be
00:01:41the warmest day of this week with a maximum daily temperature of
00:01:4525 to even 32
00:01:47degrees. For the weekend, then, it remains partly cloudy and
00:01:51warm, but it will be unstable with rain, local showers and
00:01:55thunderstorms in most of the country, at the beginning of next
00:01:58week, changeable and... cooler with rain and
00:02:01showers, temperatures will be autumn-like, on Monday
00:02:04we expect up to 25, then from Tuesday the temperature will be only
00:02:0820
00:03:01Trump's candidate for ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ronald Johnson,
00:03:05presented his priorities before the Senate: stability, energy, and American
00:03:09investments in focus. He unequivocally confirmed that a
00:03:12genocide was committed in
00:03:13Srebrenica.
00:03:18From tonight's news, we also
00:03:20highlight:
00:03:25The Border Police of Bosnia and Herzegovina seized a record
00:03:281.1 tons of drugs with a street value of up to
00:03:3133 million
00:03:33euros.
00:03:37Water reductions in Sarajevo are becoming more frequent, and rain is still not
00:03:40in sight. The settlement of Bostarići has been without water for
00:03:43six days in a
00:03:44row.
00:03:48A forest fire is raging on Blidinje, the terrain is inaccessible, extinguishing
00:03:51is possible only from the air. Croatia approved Canadian firefighting planes as
00:03:55humanitarian aid to Bosnia and
00:03:56Herzegovina.
00:04:00In Mostar and Neum, 32 degrees were measured today,
00:04:04tomorrow in BiH moderately cloudy, light rain
00:04:07possible in some places.
00:04:13The hearing of candidates for US ambassadors to Bosnia and
00:04:16Herzegovina and Serbia turned into
00:04:18where the necessary staff a sharp debate about the business interests of President Donald Trump's
00:04:21family in the Balkans, the possibility
00:04:25that US embassies could be used to promote
00:04:28them was discussed. about the genocide in Srebrenica and
00:04:32the glorification of war crimes, and among the priorities of
00:04:35Trump's candidate for ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina are
00:04:38stability, energy, and American
00:04:41investments.
00:04:45Mr. Johnson, do you agree that what happened in
00:04:49Srebrenica was genocide?
00:04:52I think I could unequivocally tell you that Srebrenica was
00:04:56a genocide, as were the verdicts that were handed down through
00:05:00the judicial systems you previously mentioned,
00:05:02absolutely.
00:05:05Do you agree that it is important to clearly state that this is the position
00:05:08of the United States, especially when we hear figures like Milorad
00:05:12Dodik, as he tries to incite separatism and
00:05:15cause further ethnic and religious tensions in Bosnia and
00:05:18Herzegovina? Senator, you can be sure that
00:05:22when I am in office, I will be very decisive in
00:05:25recommending those courses of action, as you mentioned earlier,
00:05:29absolutely. Democratic Senator Jeanne
00:05:32Shaheen recalled during the hearing of the US Ambassador to
00:05:36Bosnia and Herzegovina the glorification of convicted war criminal Ratko
00:05:40Mladić precisely by Milorad Dodik, advocating for the independence
00:05:44of Republika Srpska, hate speech. Ronald Johnson responded that he will
00:05:48be a strong advocate for what is stated in the National Defense Act,
00:05:52if confirmed, and there, let's recall, in the context of the Western
00:05:55Balkans, the possibility of returning individual sanctions for
00:05:59undermining the Dayton Peace Agreement was also mentioned. However,
00:06:02that this will happen could be noticed in the introductory speech. The United States
00:06:06remains committed to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia
00:06:10and Herzegovina and peace. Under the Dayton
00:06:13Agreement, local leaders should take responsibility for the problems
00:06:17in the country, which is actually in line with Trump's foreign policy
00:06:21agenda, "America First," which Johnson himself
00:06:24mentioned. 30 years after Dayton, the future of Bosnia
00:06:27and Herzegovina should increasingly be shaped by its own leaders
00:06:31and institutions. If confirmed, I will encourage
00:06:35pragmatic, locally driven solutions to political and economic
00:06:38challenges and support efforts to strengthen cooperation among
00:06:42different communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Johnson also spoke about
00:06:45the upcoming elections, saying that he would work with all stakeholders
00:06:49to calm tensions and preserve stability. He also mentioned Russian
00:06:52and Chinese influence, particularly emphasizing economic relations and
00:06:56the energy sector, which he called key for the United States.
00:07:00They asked him about American projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, whether the embassy
00:07:03should help private projects of people close to Donald Trump.
00:07:07He replied: "Everyone is welcome," but added:
00:07:10"And I don't believe that the President would actually ask me to
00:07:14help him with financial matters for his family, and if
00:07:18he did, I think I would refer back to the State Department
00:07:21headquarters to get clarification, sir.
00:07:25Otherwise, the hearing of Ronald Johnson began with warnings from leading
00:07:28members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that peace in Bosnia and
00:07:32Herzegovina must not be taken for granted, that Washington must clearly
00:07:36defend the Dayton Agreement, the sovereignty and territorial
00:07:39integrity of the country. Tina Elindizda.

00:07:58year.
00:08:04In the Bure operation in the area of Ilijaš, approximately
00:08:071.1 tons of synthetic narcotics were seized, which, according
00:08:10to the Border Police of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is the largest seizure
00:08:13of synthetic drugs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One person was
00:08:17deprived of liberty. The market value of the seized drugs is
00:08:20estimated at 5 million euros, while its value after
00:08:23sale in individual doses on the street could range between
00:08:2625 and 33 million euros. It is an
00:08:30extremely dangerous synthetic cathinone that
00:08:33is a substitute for cocaine and ecstasy on the street market
00:08:37of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region. Such synthetic stimulants
00:08:40are sold at a price of 20 to 30 euros per
00:08:44gram. In addition to drugs, the border police temporarily seized
00:08:47special full-face masks with advanced system filters
00:08:51and ribbed air supply tubes that
00:08:54are used exclusively during chemical synthesis and production of illegal
00:08:58substances during cooking, as protection, as well as firearms,
00:09:01mobile phones, seals, and business documentation
00:09:05of legal entities.
00:09:09The fire that has been active for several days in the area of the nature park
00:09:12Blidinje has flared up again and affected a part of the forest. Strong
00:09:16winds and prolonged drought contribute to the spread of the fire, and
00:09:19family houses and holiday homes are only 100 to
00:09:23200 meters from the fire site. Due to
00:09:25the inaccessible terrain, extinguishing with ground forces is currently not
00:09:29possible, it was announced by the operational center of the civil protection of the
00:09:32Herzegovina-Neretva Canton. All available
00:09:35firefighting forces from Jablanica and neighboring towns and municipalities
00:09:38are engaged in extinguishing the fire, and the fire continues to spread.
00:09:42Air tractor helicopters of the armed forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina are assisting
00:09:46with aerial extinguishing. The Government of the Republic of Croatia approved the use
00:09:49of two Canadian firefighting planes to provide humanitarian aid to Bosnia and
00:09:53Herzegovina.
00:09:57Two people were injured in a fire that broke out last night in
00:10:00a home for the elderly in the settlement of Mosoravac in
00:10:03the area of Lukavac. The injured persons are in serious condition with
00:10:07burns to their faces and bodies, and were transported to the University
00:10:10Clinical Center Tuzla. From the professional fire department
00:10:14Lukavac, it was said that the fire was of low intensity and
00:10:17occurred in one room. All competent services are on the ground and
00:10:21are determining the circumstances of the fire.
00:10:26University Clinical Center Tuzla hospitalized
00:10:29two patients. Patient with initials HO
00:10:32has severe burns associated with
00:10:35inhalation burns. The patient is intubated and on
00:10:38mechanical ventilation. The second patient with initials
00:10:42MO has facial burns and
00:10:47severe burns. Both patients are in extremely serious
00:10:50health condition. Teams of the University Clinical Center Tuzla
00:10:54quickly and rationally responded to the admission,
00:10:57triage, surgical intervention, and all other interventions required
00:11:00by the health condition of these
00:11:02patients.
00:11:05Bosnia and Herzegovina is facing the consequences of prolonged lack
00:11:09of precipitation. The dry period leaves its mark on watercourses,
00:11:12groundwater, and springs, and forecasts for the coming days do not
00:11:16bring much reason for a change in this picture. Because of all this, water
00:11:20reductions are becoming more frequent in Sarajevo, especially in hilly
00:11:23settlements.
00:11:26Damir Kadrić has been without water for six days and he is not the only one. In the
00:11:29higher parts of Širokača, water has not been flowing from the taps since last
00:11:33week. Residents of Bostarići Street say that they have faced
00:11:37reductions before, but this time
00:11:40the situation is particularly difficult. We manage by finding the nearest
00:11:44tap, filling canisters, then
00:11:47bringing it home and pouring it from one container to another.
00:11:50And we have also developed this system of pouring
00:11:54water on each other. Or the system of pouring water on ourselves from a bottle to wash
00:11:57our hands. I feel sorry for the female part of the population
00:12:01most of all, who has to provide conditions for herself, her children, her husbands, and herself
00:12:05after all, hygienic conditions and everything. Why don't
00:12:09they turn off the water in the government, in the presidency, in the municipality,
00:12:12but only terrorize us? The problem is actually outdated
00:12:15reservoirs, they tell us from the local community council, they have been
00:12:19warning about this for some time, but without effect.
00:12:22The problem with that water is not even those reductions, but the problem is that
00:12:26pump in the reservoir that when it needs to be turned on when
00:12:30there is a certain level in the reservoir, it is actually turned on
00:12:33manually, no one has ever come to turn it on,
00:12:37the problem is the justification of the management of the waterworks
00:12:40and sewerage, that is, it should not be an excuse,
00:12:44force majeure, that is, drought for
00:12:47their idleness and their ignorance, they still have not received a tanker,
00:12:50nor have the residents of the New Town street King Stjepan Toma,
00:12:53where there has been no water for almost two months, for Zabrđe
00:12:57it is interesting that there is, even though the water supply is regular there, which was
00:13:00admitted by the waterworks. At the same time, in
00:13:03Širokača, a few hundred meters below Bostarići street, water
00:13:07is gushing from the asphalt, to make the absurdity even greater, while
00:13:10cubic meters of water are irreversibly flowing through Sarajevo streets, the main
00:13:14Sarajevo spring Bačevo has almost dried up. The reason
00:13:18is that we do not have those multi-day moderate
00:13:21precipitations. These showers and
00:13:25short-term precipitations do not contribute to the replenishment of
00:13:28our groundwater and rivers across Bosnia and
00:13:32Herzegovina are entering September with unusually low water levels,
00:13:35some watercourses are recording almost record low values, as for
00:13:39precipitation in the coming days, it is mostly of weak locally
00:13:43moderate intensity in the form of a stronger downpour, from this point of view
00:13:46in principle as far as we are able to see, that is about 15 days, for now
00:13:50there is still no signal for any intensive
00:13:54precipitation. If the period without significant rain continues, the
00:13:57Agency for the Sava River Basin warns that water levels
00:14:01could further drop, especially in smaller
00:14:04watercourses. How much the situation will change will depend primarily
00:14:07on precipitation. However, one heavy rain does not necessarily
00:14:11mean the end of the problem. Dry periods are not only this
00:14:15year. So, we have had dry periods for about 15 years
00:14:18where we constantly have a deficit in the amount of
00:14:22precipitation that we have, whether it is snow, whether it is
00:14:26rain, whether it is some hail, and the rain that we have, it
00:14:30becomes mostly
00:14:32torrential, a large amount falls in a short
00:14:35time and causes a flash flood, quickly
00:14:39drains away, very little goes into the soil.
00:14:42Therefore, experts warn, we must use water more rationally and
00:14:46preserve natural resources so that we do not lose what
00:14:50we currently have. Fejzakulina

00:14:56At a time when citizens need concrete results, the
00:14:59Federation announces a turnaround in planning the future. The development strategy
00:15:03for 2034 is starting with an ambitious, but much-needed
00:15:06goal: to turn strategic documents from mere
00:15:09wishes into strictly defined projects with stable
00:15:13financing. Can experts in the next six months
00:15:16lay the foundations for a different development?
00:15:20How many goals from the development strategy
00:15:22of the Federation of BiH until 2027
00:15:25have actually been achieved has not yet been
00:15:28precisely determined. The document envisioned
00:15:31accelerating economic development, improving the position of young people,
00:15:34energy transition, environmental protection, and a more efficient public
00:15:38sector. Experts who participated in its preparation admit
00:15:42that they are not satisfied with the implementation. Unfortunately,
00:15:45what we envisioned in that strategy was not
00:15:48realized as we wanted and as much as it could have been,
00:15:51so we hope that with this strategy we will correct that. Therefore,
00:15:55one of the first tasks is to determine what has been achieved, what has not, and
00:15:59what are the reasons. Experiences from the previous period should be
00:16:02the basis for a different approach to the new development plan. This is a
00:16:06key horizon. A permanent
00:16:08multi-sectoral document that defines
00:16:12social consensus and development priorities in the next
00:16:15planning period. Uh, the strategy itself
00:16:19uh is here to bring concrete
00:16:23changes, mm improvement for the lives of citizens, we
00:16:26must within strategic documents further concretize
00:16:30the conceptual projects that will be directly available for
00:16:33financing through the public investment program, therefore, and
00:16:36establish a better connection with the financial framework, that is,
00:16:40that is one of the lessons learned, taught by what we had in previous
00:16:43strategies, where it was defined
00:16:46primarily as priorities,
00:16:50as a wish list without
00:16:52clearly defined deadlines, responsibilities,
00:16:56goals, financing, mm, I think that
00:17:00m, I said that very clearly, we don't need that, we don't need another new
00:17:03document that no one even opened and now at the end we will take it and look
00:17:07at what is in it, and what is not, what was not done, so that
00:17:10uh, I think it is very important that today there are people
00:17:14here who have both competence, knowledge and opportunities who will
00:17:17initiate m today
00:17:19activities so that through the formation of an expert group we can come
00:17:23to a proposal for a strategy. At the first conference, representatives
00:17:27of the academic community, economy and civil society spoke about projects
00:17:30and priorities for the next planning period. Among them are
00:17:34investment in science, development of artificial intelligence, digitalization, and
00:17:37green transition, but the experience of the previous strategy
00:17:41also raises the question of whether new priorities will actually be
00:17:44implemented. We need a data center, we need research
00:17:47institutes. The government should, for
00:17:50the next year, give at least
00:17:541.8% of the gross domestic product for
00:17:57research, it will give a tenth of that, so
00:18:00how much it listens. So where are we, we
00:18:03are now in the European family last by
00:18:07population, so we are somewhere at
00:18:1045% of the European average, we need to
00:18:14make an effort in the area of production,
00:18:17that means to increase the production of
00:18:20ideas, increase the knowledge base, increase innovation, introduce
00:18:24an innovation policy that we don't even have, in order to improve the standard
00:18:27of living. Now the plan is to develop a higher quality, clearer
00:18:31strategy so that what was envisioned by 2034
00:18:34will be achieved. The goal is in the next six months
00:18:38to involve as many interest groups as possible, listen to
00:18:42their demands and concretize projects that should be
00:18:45financed through the public investment program. Mirna
00:18:48Ždralović,
00:18:51N1. Since the beginning of this year,
00:18:5427 doctors from six cantons have left the country.
00:18:58Most of them go to Slovenia, Austria, Germany, and Scandinavian
00:19:01countries, and the main reasons are better salaries and working conditions.
00:19:05According to the data of the Medical Chamber of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, about 10
00:19:08doctors leave this canton annually. Nevertheless, the authorities from the health sector say
00:19:12that the situation is not
00:19:14worrying for now.
00:19:17While many healthcare institutions warn about a shortage of medical
00:19:21staff, the University Clinical Hospital Mostar, as the largest healthcare institution
00:19:24in Herzegovina, employs 3,000 workers, among
00:19:28whom are about 500 doctors. The director of this institution says that
00:19:31the problem is not their shortage, on the contrary, he claims that the hospital currently has
00:19:35a surplus of employees. I have
00:19:37a big problem because I have a surplus of doctors, maybe you look at me
00:19:41strangely, namely we have a good circumstance that our faculty
00:19:45is in our backyard
00:19:47we really have enough doctors and
00:19:51the only real problem for me is how not to admit
00:19:54all the people who want to join
00:19:57the hospital. Well, as far as our hospital is concerned, for now we really
00:20:01don't have that problem, and since we are talking about people leaving the hospital,
00:20:04for example, we had middle staff in the last... several years,
00:20:08many of them left, over a hundred of them
00:20:12returned to work, but the situation is not the same
00:20:15in all healthcare institutions in the cantonal hospital. While Safet Mujić
00:20:18says there are a solid number of doctors, there is a shortage of specialists, and one
00:20:22of the main problems they cite is the Supreme Court's ruling, according to which a doctor, after
00:20:26completing specialization, can leave the institution that enabled and
00:20:29financed their specialization and go abroad, where another country,
00:20:33without any investment, gets an already trained expert. For
00:20:37now, we do not have alarming indicators when it comes to our
00:20:41canton, but it is definitely one of the potential problems
00:20:44since, as I say, young people
00:20:48are looking for better opportunities for themselves, we are aware that...
00:20:51that the current method of financing healthcare is not sufficient
00:20:55for them to have such conditions, primarily financial, and in some parts, working, so they can
00:20:59be completely satisfied and not have to look for any other
00:21:02alternative. An additional problem is the large difference in doctors' incomes among
00:21:06cantons. According to data from the Federation of Professional Unions of Doctors
00:21:10of Medicine and Dentistry, currently doctors in the Canton of Sarajevo, Tuzla, and
00:21:14Zenica-Doboj are among the best paid, while the incomes of their colleagues in other cantons are up to
00:21:1730% lower. Such differences, they warn, do not only lead to
00:21:21departures abroad, but also to migrations of doctors within
00:21:24the Federation, to where the conditions and incomes are more favorable. Uh,
00:21:28the reasons are, on the one hand, uh, the conditions in which
00:21:31our doctors work, on the other hand,
00:21:34namely the financial capabilities of our healthcare system, the question
00:21:38of resources, the question of finances, the question
00:21:42of healthcare staff, the question of
00:21:45uh, the development of primary healthcare, which is our. namely the accent
00:21:49on primary healthcare, the question, namely, can we
00:21:53respond, namely to the modern demographic trend
00:21:56and the needs of the population in such circumstances, namely there are many
00:22:00questions that influence the final
00:22:03opinion, namely the eventual departure of our
00:22:07doctors. This system is unsustainable in the long run, says
00:22:10the president of the government, claiming that reorganization is needed, as well as finding new
00:22:13sources of financing. Without such changes, she warns, it will be increasingly difficult
00:22:17to ensure stable functioning of healthcare institutions
00:22:20and retain existing staff. When we also
00:22:24add the national-political context, which is the reality of this
00:22:28canton, we are aware of the difficult decisions
00:22:31that await us in the future, but we will have to make
00:22:34a reorganization, we will have to find new sources
00:22:37of financing, because today it is more than evident that with these sources
00:22:41of financing we cannot satisfy the needs
00:22:44of the healthcare system that we have built. And the shortage of expert
00:22:48staff remains a problem in a large part of the country. A country that already has one of the lowest
00:22:51numbers of doctors in Europe in relation to the population, if that
00:22:55trend continues, the question will no longer be only how to keep them,
00:22:59but who will treat those for whom the healthcare system exists.

00:23:08Problems of employees at the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo were
00:23:12again pointed out, overtime, redistribution
00:23:15of jobs, lack of staff, infringement of employees' rights,
00:23:18are just some of the problems cited by healthcare workers,
00:23:22at the same time they do not receive answers
00:23:25from the clinical center.
00:23:2725 years of work at the Clinical Center for
00:23:31Elvira Isić Karić should have been a reason for
00:23:34pride. Today it is difficult for her to talk about the institution where she
00:23:38spent most of her working life, because, as she claims,
00:23:41employees work under pressure, it is difficult to exercise
00:23:45their rights. It is very difficult to talk about
00:23:48an institution where you have worked for so long,
00:23:52sometimes I am even ashamed, I must admit, and I was
00:23:55a proud employee for so many years. I am sorry
00:23:58to say that people work under
00:24:02fear, I am sorry to say that certain things
00:24:05are imposed for which
00:24:09these people cannot fight, except to contact
00:24:12the union, lawyers,
00:24:16unfortunately the clinical center has put employees in a position...
00:24:20where they can only achieve certain solutions through lawsuits.
00:24:24The Health Workers' Union of Sarajevo Canton demands from the management
00:24:27active involvement in processes related to
00:24:31employee rights. The list of problems is long, but
00:24:34among other things, they mention attempts to reduce employee
00:24:38rights, problems in work organization, and
00:24:41non-recognition of professional qualifications. We
00:24:44have members of the union in this institution who have been working for over 20, 30
00:24:48years and who are not recognized as staff, they have completed
00:24:51faculties, we had an agreement that this would be
00:24:55recognized, but
00:24:58that is not happening. They boasted about the
00:25:01opening of 8,000 square meters of space at the clinical
00:25:05center. I publicly ask
00:25:08is, how those jobs were filled, where
00:25:12the nurses are, the doctors,
00:25:15laundresses, cleaners, everything that is needed for that
00:25:19institution. The topic, they claim, is that employees exist
00:25:22in the work schedule, in the calculation
00:25:25of overtime hours, where the employee is told to come and work
00:25:28from 12 to 14 hours or to come and work from 3
00:25:32to 16, that is the working time that
00:25:36the collective agreement and the mind does not
00:25:39recognize, nor does the law itself. Overtime
00:25:42work in the clinical center is
00:25:45paid in lump sums,
00:25:49not for everyone. in clinics and
00:25:51depending on the head of the clinic. In
00:25:55the meantime, the clinical center also announced, but
00:25:58regarding the political engagement of employees, but
00:26:01they touched upon... the situation in this institution, stating that there is
00:26:05continuous investment in education and
00:26:07specialization. Dragica Pejaković,

00:26:35After a short break, Russia launched massive missile attacks on Kyiv,
00:26:39Desudnye Par and Zaporizhzhia. In the attacks, more than 20
00:26:42people were injured and residential and energy infrastructure was damaged. On
00:26:46the other hand, Ukraine responded with drone attacks deep into Russian
00:26:49territory, hitting an oil
00:26:53a military air base in Rostov-on-Don, where, according to
00:26:56Ukrainian officials, six aircraft were damaged. In
00:27:00the meantime, the House of Representatives of the American Congress adopted a comprehensive
00:27:04bill on new sanctions and tariffs against Russia and sent it to
00:27:07President Trump for signature, which the President of Ukraine
00:27:11Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed as a key step towards stopping
00:27:15the war.
00:27:19We heard explosions, and glass, glass
00:27:23was falling everywhere, we didn't know where to go,
00:27:26all our windows fell in our house,
00:27:29it was very scary, very scary.
00:28:02the leadership, which has settled in
00:28:05Brussels, we have
00:28:08repeatedly said that we are not
00:28:12going to attack Europe, the president recently dwelled on
00:28:16this topic in detail, emphasized that we have
00:28:20no interests in doing this, but
00:28:22if Europe, which daily talks about preparing for
00:28:26war against Russia, attacks the Russian
00:28:29Federation, then it will be...
00:28:38Addressing the European Parliament, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called
00:28:42for the creation of a new alliance for the future between Canada and the European
00:28:46Union to strengthen collective resilience in conditions
00:28:49of geopolitical turmoil and economic pressures.
00:28:53Carney proposed expanding cooperation in critical
00:28:56minerals, artificial intelligence, energy security, defense, and
00:29:00education, emphasizing that the goal of this... alliance is not
00:29:03to create a new power
00:29:04bloc.
00:29:08We don't want to rule over others,
00:29:11on the contrary, we want to achieve
00:29:14resilience, so that no one can gain
00:29:17control over our open markets, threaten
00:29:20our sovereignty, threaten territorial integrity,
00:29:24undermine our freedoms, democracy or the rule of law,
00:29:27these reasons, coupled with
00:29:31our latent... hard power, mean that
00:29:34we can help create a new just,
00:29:37stable, prosperous world order.
00:29:41I would say in general we should
00:29:46not and would not want to be
00:29:49scared of something new. Europe has never
00:29:53been afraid of forging new
00:29:55parts, creating, if I can use this in in your presence
00:29:59mark new frontieres and
00:30:17US President Donald Trump threatened the European Union with new
00:30:21high tariffs if Canada becomes an associate member
00:30:24of the Union. Trump called such a possibility ridiculous
00:30:28and said he could consider it a hostile act. He warned that
00:30:32the United States could, in response, impose high
00:30:36tariffs or suspend trade with Europe in certain
