00:01:00and with tears,
00:01:42very early morning update, I will say that I see seven and a
00:01:46first minute, we are a little late, let's not scare the competition, right? Good
00:01:50day to you. I am next to Chrissa Batou, whom you
00:01:54see on TV daily in Sky's news. I am Giorgos
00:01:57Papakonstantinou, we will keep company together. Until
00:02:44where are we going? Let's go see the weather, what kind of weather we will have, because
00:02:48we have our meteorologist, Iliana Koutsoupi. I see that from Monday we will have
00:02:52strong gusts over Beaufort, the meltemia are strengthening from
00:02:56today. Great caution, caution, that's exactly what I want to say too.
00:03:08Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Anticyclonic conditions prevail
00:03:11in Western Europe. For today, Saturday, in our country, the weather is
00:03:15generally fair, with scattered clouds, rainfall and possibly
00:03:19showers during the afternoon hours in Macedonia, Epirus, central
00:03:23Greece and the Peloponnese. The
00:03:26winds are blowing from the north in the Aegean, 5 to 7 Beaufort, while in the Ionian Sea.
00:03:30Northwest winds are blowing up to 4 Beaufort. The
00:03:33thermometer rises mainly in Western Greece, reaching
00:03:3739° and in the eastern mainland, 36 to
00:03:4038, while on the islands, 32 to 36.
00:03:44As for Attica, sunshine prevails. The
00:03:47thermometer ranges from 26 to 36°
00:03:51and in the west of the prefecture up to 38. North winds blow in the
00:03:54Saronic Gulf up to 5 Beaufort, while in the east and north of the prefecture
00:03:58up to 6 Beaufort. In Thessaloniki, the weather is clear with
00:04:02local clouds, however, during the afternoon, the mercury ranges from
00:04:0624 to 34 with 36° and
00:04:09southerly winds blow in the Thermaic Gulf up to 5 m. On
00:04:13Sunday, the weather is clear with light rainfall mainly in the north
00:04:16and west of the country during the afternoon. The north winds
00:04:20persist in the Aegean up to 8 Beaufort,
00:04:23strengthening, while in the Ionian Sea winds blow up to 4
00:04:26Beaufort. The thermometer shows a slight drop in the east.
00:04:30inland areas reaching 38°, while in western
00:04:33Greece, the mercury remains at
00:04:3539°. On Monday, the weather is generally
00:04:39clear with light rainfall mainly in the western parts of the
00:04:42country. The meltemi further strengthens in the Aegean,
00:04:46mainly in the eastern mainland, the Cyclades and Crete, reaching
00:04:508 Beaufort and possibly the gusts will reach 9
00:04:53Beaufort. The temperature will remain at
00:04:5638° in western Greece, while in the east the...
00:05:02reaching 36° due
00:05:04to the winds. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the development of the weather
00:05:08conditions for the coming days. Have a good day.
00:05:19Great caution, then, in any case, the 24-hour periods that have
00:05:23passed and those that are coming require great caution here at this
00:05:27very difficult period and from the map, Giorgos says, let's go to the map of
00:05:30civil protection for the fire risk forecast that we
00:05:33consult daily anyway, it can't be otherwise, because we see
00:05:37that a large part of our country is in yellow,
00:05:41we also have blue. I think this is of less importance, because we
00:05:45must be on alert anyway, this is the period, we are in the heart of
00:05:49fire prevention, these are the hot works that should be avoided, and if something
00:05:52taught us even more this summer, it is that
00:05:56even the slightest negligence is enough for
00:05:59something to happen that you cannot control afterwards, unfortunately,
00:06:03how many times have we seen it this year, unfortunately, small
00:06:06details that, unfortunately, make
00:07:09next? Let's go to a tribute we made because it says. And
00:07:12we were saying again, we saw the risk map, how difficult
00:07:15it was for us during this period, thousands of acres that
00:07:18were burned, but the efforts of the firefighters who were at the
00:07:22front were very great, truly shocking moments, George, yes, even
00:07:25the clichés that we journalists usually
00:07:28use, that is, the titanic battle, the comfortable
00:07:31battle, may seem poor, because
00:07:35usually images are stronger than words, but
00:07:38I think that this comfortable battle had many opponents.
00:07:41And close to them, of course, our colleagues
00:07:45from the news bulletin, I say this because some
00:07:49snaps in the video may not include everyone, but all of them, Nikos
00:07:53Maliarakis, Meri Batou, Toumpa,
00:07:56sorry, you saw the anagram, what he did, the
00:08:00double window, Nikos Minas, it was
00:08:03Vangelis Kokolakos from the first, and in the
00:08:07countryside,
00:08:11Stratoulakos, Eleni Paraskevou. The entire journalistic and technical
00:08:14staff of Sky truly fought a
00:08:18great battle alongside the firefighters, who are of course the
00:08:21heroes, and we want to express our great thanks to them
00:08:25for a battle that continues even
00:08:27today.
00:08:33total destruction
00:08:35destruction
00:08:38The situation is now very dangerous, the front
00:08:41essentially surrounds us, as you can see, the embers have
00:08:45created, have created a fiery embrace, very close
00:08:48there are houses at a distance of about 1 km
00:08:52from the fire, you see at this moment how it has
00:08:56flared up, flames reaching 15 to 20
00:08:59meters,
00:09:04our brothers the firefighters
00:09:06are fighting the great battle,
00:09:10houses, trees, animals, everything in awe
00:09:14is destroyed and you
00:09:15take it.
00:09:18A big thank you once again to all the frontline fighters,
00:09:21and where do we go now? And now, because
00:09:25we hope not to experience these moments we saw again and to live a bit of
00:09:28summer as we should, it's the second weekend of August, so what does
00:09:32that mean? It means the rush for most people is starting. Let's go to a port of fire, a port. Who is
00:09:36waiting for us there? Viki Kalofotias. Good morning, Viki.
00:09:39Look what's happening here, what's happening? You're happy, you're leaving and
00:09:44boarding in a few 24-hour periods, I think, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, in a few
00:09:4824-hour periods, Chrissa. George understood exactly without us telling him.
00:09:51So, we are in Piraeus, the
00:09:55ship we are seeing at this moment departs at 7:25 a.m. for
00:09:58Paros, Naxos and Santorini. As you can see, I don't
00:10:02need to say anything about the turnout of people, the shot
00:10:05speaks for itself and people don't stop coming here. They have
00:10:09their luggage, they have their smiles, their very good
00:10:12mood. We will also approach some of them to give
00:10:16us a taste of all this. Good morning,
00:10:20good morning, good morning, guys, they
00:10:23don't want us,
00:10:27so let's ask here if we are luckier.
00:10:30Good morning, hello. Good morning, where are
00:10:33you traveling to? Oh my god, we're going to Paros, Naxos,
00:10:36Milos, Milos afterwards, eh.
00:10:39Where are you from? From Canada. From Canada.
00:10:43Have you come here now for how many days? For holidays? 20
00:10:46days and we are in Athens for three days now. Our
00:10:50family, family. Excellent, excellent. How
00:10:53did you choose these for your holidays? Ah, we haven't
00:10:57seen them, everyone goes to Paros, as
00:11:00I am Greek, I would like to see them, very much, in Canada,
00:11:04in which city, in which city, oh,
00:11:07excellent, excellent, have a wonderful time, we all wish you, to
00:11:11return with the best impressions. What are the
00:11:14children's names? My name is Stella, Stella, Anastasios,
00:11:17Anastasios and Anastas Leonidis, ah, but
00:11:21what, what beautiful children, what sweet children, very polite, congratulations.
00:11:28And somehow the shot fills with freshness, with vitality, 10 out of
00:11:3210, 10 out of 10. Okay, let's get some compensation
00:11:35for the previous ones who didn't want to talk to us. So, you will be compensated from Monday,
00:11:39Diki. So, so, a little more and a lot of people, I see. By the way,
00:11:43if you ask me, okay, it was a given, everyone will leave.
00:11:47Where are you going? Tell us. Antiparos. Antiparos. How many
00:11:50days? Four days. Four days. You know the compass there,
00:11:54the accommodation. Eh, I will ask,
00:11:57Giorgos, so we go and whatever we find and whatever you find. Do you know Maria the compass
00:12:01here, who is our journalist at Sky? Not at all. No, you will
00:12:04meet her. She is also on holiday there these
00:12:06days. If you ask, you will learn her.
00:12:10Have a good trip, guys. Be well. As you can see,
00:12:14okay, what else can I say? What else can I say? My smile says
00:12:47We'll cross the Atlantic and
00:12:50thanks to the amazing and terrible Nikos
00:12:53Minas, we will listen
00:12:57to the santouri, good morning, oh my, what are you saying? Mrs.
00:13:00Melina Bitjidou is with us and Christos Danos.
00:13:04Good morning to you. What time is it there?
00:13:07Good morning, good morning, here it's
00:13:1012:10 and 12 to be precise. Ah,
00:13:14we kept you with news, ah,
00:13:16nice.
00:13:18We see, we saw the violin of the husband. I've been waiting
00:13:22since yesterday, to tell you the truth, to see the santouri.
00:20:37The developments in the investigation
00:20:40of this very dark and sad case
00:20:44of Marfin. Yes, 16 years later, I'm not
00:20:47mistaken, after its extradition. Three arrests, among them
00:20:51a 46-year-old woman. She is the woman with the braids, as they say, the
00:20:55specific one who was extradited to Greece under draconian
00:20:59measures, and was taken to the interrogator and was given a deadline to
00:21:02testify. Of course, in her statement, she claimed
00:21:06that she is innocent, that she is not responsible for anything. Anyway, it's a
00:21:09case, justice will decide and judge. Our
00:21:13position is simply to record the facts. In
00:21:16any case, however, the event itself.
00:21:20closed homes, dressed homes in mourning. And whoever
00:21:24the culprits are, no matter how many years have passed, justice will
00:21:28decide, and the punishment it decides
00:21:31must be exemplary,
00:21:34because among those who died is an
00:21:37embryo that never saw the light of this world with its own eyes, nor the eyes of its mother,
00:21:41who also died.
00:21:43So, let's go see other
00:21:46news. in
00:22:06police escort and wearing an anti-bullet vest, the
00:22:0946-year-old accused of the murderous attack at Marfin
00:22:12is being taken to the office of the interrogator.
00:22:16A few minutes later, she is transferred under draconian security measures to the detention centers of
00:22:21Attica. The 46-year-old left the courts of the former
00:22:25Evelpidon School shortly after 11:30 in the morning, after she was first
00:22:28given a deadline to testify to the interrogator handling the case on
00:22:32Tuesday morning. She is innocent, she has declared it from the very first moment, that
00:22:35she has no connection with the alleged acts
00:22:39and that from what I know so far from the
00:22:42case file, the word identification
00:22:45of a person is false. Before being taken to the
00:22:48interrogator, the 46-year-old had been transferred to the office of the competent
00:22:52prosecutor in order for the arrest warrant against
00:22:55her to be executed. The accused arrived in Greece from Britain late on Thursday
00:22:59escorted by police officers of the Greek FBI. We had an
00:23:03excellent cooperation from the moment the international
00:23:06arrest warrant was issued with the British authorities, and within a short
00:23:10period of time, with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure,
00:23:13the 46-year-old arrived with complete safety, with complete secrecy, and
00:23:17without anyone being endangered in our country anymore.
00:23:21The 46-year-old appears to be one of the two women of the five-member
00:23:25team that attacked Marfin in May 2010, without, however,
00:23:29there being complete identification of her biometric characteristics. She had
00:23:33been identified as the woman with the blonde braid, and her image
00:23:36corresponded to number seven among the 12
00:23:39suspects. According to two testimonies of bank employees,
00:23:42the 46-year-old shouted to her accomplices the phrase "burn
00:23:46them". And now it's his turn.
00:23:50Of course, of course. I say let's go to another case that has
00:23:54concerned us, about the Greek mafia
00:23:56and about a 39-year-old man who is in the hands of the German
00:24:00authorities. They say he was in the executive arm and
00:24:03from there on, of course, the authorities connect him with some of
00:24:07the most serious cases of organized crime. A European arrest warrant has been issued against
00:24:11him and we are waiting for his extradition to Greece.
00:24:15Giorgos Protopsaltis has collected all the information, so let's go
00:24:18and watch it in the video.
00:24:20Follows
00:24:22Three executions of members of the Greek mafia and an attempted murder are under the
00:24:26microscope of the authorities after the arrest of the 31-year-old wanted
00:24:30criminal by the German authorities within the framework of a European
00:24:33warrant. The Greek expatriate from Georgia, who is expected to be extradited to
00:24:36Greece, according to data from the investigations of the homicide department.
00:24:40He appears to have been present at the murder of Giannis Skaftouras in Skourta
00:24:44Vioias, as well as at the double execution of Vasilis Roumpetis and
00:24:47Dionysis Mouzakitis in Korydallos. A member
00:24:50of a criminal organization, which was active in the production and
00:24:54trafficking of large quantities of contraband tobacco products in
00:24:57Athens, Thessaloniki and regional areas and
00:25:01which had been dismantled in March
00:25:032025. Giannis Kavtouras, known by the nickname
00:25:07Uncle Joi, had been shot dead by assassins during a family
00:25:10gathering in April 2022. He didn't come here,
00:25:14I told you again. Now every passerby comes here and
00:25:17complains. A year later, in June
00:25:212023, hired killers executed the so-called
00:25:24Rambo outside his house's garage. His brother-in-law also lost his life from the bullets of the Kalashnikov.
00:25:2830 minutes after the execution of the two men in Korydallos, the perpetrators
00:25:32set fire to their escape vehicle in the tunnels here in Limni
00:25:35Koumoundourou in Aspropyrgos. As you can see, it's 9 in the morning and by
00:25:39this time, silently. The man from Georgia was located in
00:25:42the city of Firsen, Germany, and was arrested on the morning of the previous
00:25:46Friday. As it was found, an arrest
00:25:49warrant is also pending against him, which concerns the
00:25:53criminal group that is connected to the execution of Vangelis Zampounis
00:25:56outside the gas station he owned in Neo
00:26:00Kosmos. And Chrissa, everyone
00:26:02may be slowly going on holidays, but the thermometer on the political scene
00:26:06remains high, and the reasons? And the reasons are many,
00:26:10among them, of course, is the Miagro platform, and there the
00:26:13political confrontation for Opek is revived, and on the other hand, of course, there are the fires, what we experienced
00:26:17in the previous period, opposition and government are clashing
00:26:21again, and in the video that follows, which is by Despoina
00:26:25Vlepaki. The confrontation over the Opecep scandal
00:26:29revived the activation of the Miaro platform. The
00:26:32AADE's application for the 2026 aid for farmers and
00:26:36stockbreeders. Against the Prime Minister's statements about a battle with the
00:26:40deep state, the opposition launches attacks for communicative
00:26:43ploys. Hypocrisy abounds from the opposition
00:26:46parties. In reality, what was happening all these years? Some
00:26:50capable people were actually preventing the money that
00:26:54the real farmers were entitled to from reaching them. A
00:26:57general effort by New Democracy to
00:27:01cover up, through
00:27:04shallow communication, the inconsistency and inadequacy it has shown
00:27:07for a long time towards Greek producers. We see
00:27:11hypocrisy, derision and constant
00:27:14delays. A stable field of political confrontation remains
00:27:18the management of the recent catastrophic fires.
00:27:21The government accuses the opposition of instrumentalization, which
00:27:25accuses it of inadequacy. Every such threat of natural
00:27:29disaster is a continuous battle for all.
00:27:48it was necessary and this was evident from the fact that we had fewer crisis hours and
00:27:52we also had an inability to exploit the full potential.
00:27:56Lack of prevention is also denounced by the other parties.
00:28:00Here we are talking about a foregone
00:28:03conclusion, where there are perennial responsibilities, with the New
00:28:06Democracy government bearing the brunt of the responsibilities. Prevention does not happen 45
00:28:10days before the fire season begins, as New Democracy started, because
00:28:14this state of Mr. Tsipras, Mr. Androulakis, Mr.
00:28:17Mitsotakis has not learned to prevent. The government
00:28:20is in a race against time for the fastest possible compensation for
00:28:23the victims and the restoration of natural
00:28:51Yiannis Rizos, let's go to Vivica who is on
00:28:54a beach and I see behind her quite a few people who have
00:28:58already gone to swim and I already see them in the sea, of course.
00:29:02Viv, do we have drones there? Do you see any agents doing
00:29:05checks? At this moment there is no
00:29:09drone here, however, drones have already been deployed and are conducting checks
00:29:13on the beaches. AADE and the Ministry of Finance, therefore,
00:29:16in their checks on the beaches to strengthen the checks a bit,
00:29:20they have also deployed drones, good morning Giorgos,
00:29:23good morning Chrisa, we are here at Alimos beach, as
00:29:27you can see, it's 7:30
00:29:30and look how many people there are. At this moment, people have come
00:29:34here to take a dip, it's August
00:29:378th, in a week it's August 15th, we are approaching,
00:29:41that is, the heart of the
00:29:44holidays when everyone leaves in August, many have left,
00:29:47I tell you the roads are empty here in Athens, however, the beach
00:29:51as you can see is full of children, I wish you also
00:29:55soon and you will be on your vacation
00:29:58now, I will tell you about our own, to be

00:30:22Vivi my
00:30:25thank you guys, so now regarding the checks, what we were saying
00:30:28before Giorgos, AADE and the Ministry of Finance have intensified
00:30:32their checks here on the beaches, they have also deployed
00:30:36drones and aerial photographs, I will tell
00:30:39you that since last year over
00:30:421,500 checks have been carried out
00:30:46in more than 300 beaches and
00:30:49450 businesses, look here, yes, and the
00:30:52pigeons and bathers,
00:30:55yes, yes, yes, there are so many, every morning they come here and
00:30:59they feed them bread and they gather at this time.
