00:00:00the next few hours in terms of temperatures, but
00:00:03mainly winds. First of all, let's say that we have mild
00:00:07weather conditions today, sunshine throughout
00:00:10the country and perhaps some rainfall mainly in western Greece and
00:00:13the mountains in the coming hours. Today,
00:00:17let's say that the winds are blowing gently in the Aegean,
00:00:20locally reaching seven Beaufort, mainly in the Cyclades,
00:00:24generally in the Aegean winds of 5 to 6
00:00:28Beaufort are blowing. Therefore, we understand that the
00:00:31journey does not face any difficulties
00:00:34in the Ionian as we observe up to four Beaufort, northwesterly
00:00:38winds of 6 Beaufort we also have in the Karpathian Sea
00:00:42at this moment and in the coming hours, however,
00:00:45tomorrow, Sunday, we expect the
00:00:48winds to significantly strengthen, mainly their gusts.
00:00:52We are talking about northerly winds in the Aegean, the Meltemi persists, the
00:00:56gusts will reach up to 8 in eastern
00:00:59continental areas, i.e. Evia, Attica, Boeotia, Eastern
00:01:02Peloponnese, mainly in Laconia, in
00:01:05Crete, in the Dodecanese and of course in the Cyclades and the
00:01:09Eastern Aegean. There we expect therefore 7 to 8
00:01:12Beaufort gusts. The Ionian again does not
00:01:15concern us. The winds are northerly, northwesterly up to 4 Beaufort and
00:01:19locally in the southern Ionian up to five. This is the forecast
00:01:23for tomorrow as well, it seems that on Monday we will have a slight further
00:01:26strengthening of the winds. So the difficult day will be tomorrow.
00:01:34winds that will prevail, as we heard, in the coming days in a large part
00:01:38of the country, in combination with the high temperatures expected
00:01:42mainly in Western Greece, ladies and gentlemen, were at the center
00:01:45of the risk assessment committee that met today. George
00:01:49Protopsaltis will tell us what the competent
00:01:52scientists discussed. In addition to the new wave of strong winds expected to
00:01:56hit a large part of the country, the meeting
00:02:00also focused on an assessment of the
00:02:03difficult operational conditions that prevailed over the
00:02:07previous ten days in our country. There is no
00:02:10room for complacency in the face of extreme phenomena, as stated
00:02:14by the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Evangelos
00:02:18Tournas, after the meeting. He asked for an assessment of all
00:02:21prognostic data regarding the weather
00:02:25conditions in the next 24 hours, while at the same time
00:02:28measures should be taken at the level of prevention and
00:02:31operational readiness in all areas that are expected to be at the
00:02:35center of these weather phenomena. According to what was reported
00:02:39by the scientists, wind gusts are expected to reach up to
00:02:429 Beaufort in places, while temperatures will reach 38 and
00:02:4639° in a very large part of the country. For
00:02:49this reason, there will be a state of alert in all these areas from both
00:02:53Civil Protection and the Fire Department. Therefore,
00:02:57caution is required from all of us. Let's look now, Giorgoma, at the
00:03:00Civil Protection's risk map for tomorrow. In the orange
00:03:04risk level four, very high fire risk according
00:03:08to Civil Protection, in a very large part of the country, Evia,
00:03:12Attica, Boeotia, Cyclades, North and East Aegean, Crete
00:03:15and Peloponnese are the areas which are expected to
00:03:19have a greater problem and greater vigilance. In yellow,
00:03:23therefore, is another large part of the country, the conditions are difficult and are expected to
00:03:26prevail during tomorrow's 24-hour period.
00:03:30while similar weather phenomena may also occur on Monday,
00:03:33according to at least what was discussed at the risk assessment
00:03:36committee. Thank you very much, George, for all the
00:03:39information. Outside the borders now, ladies and gentlemen, drought and high
00:03:43temperatures are affecting several Balkan countries. In
00:03:46southeastern Serbia, meanwhile, firefighters are battling forest
00:03:50fires for a second day, with flames dangerously
00:03:53approaching residential areas. At the same
00:03:56time, the United Kingdom leaves behind its driest July
00:04:00ever recorded. In
00:04:03Serbia, amidst extreme heat, firefighting
00:04:07forces are operating from the air to extinguish the fire that is
00:04:10burning in a protected area in Vojvodina, in the north of the
00:04:14country. The flames are threatening houses in the village of Šumarac, which
00:04:17is being evacuated. Firefighters are battling the fire near the city of
00:04:21Kraljevo in the center.
00:04:24In Poland, the Vistula river recedes to its lowest level ever.
00:04:28Due to the drought and limited rainfall, the
00:04:32bed is exposed, causing shortages in the country's
00:04:35energy sector. During the week, Kolos 9 was forced to
00:04:39limit operations at two power plants, as the
00:04:42extremely low water level of the river limited its cooling
00:04:46water reserves.
00:04:48The operation of the Paks nuclear power plant in
00:04:52Hungary remains at a critical point, despite the anticipated rise in the
00:04:55Danube's water level after rainfall in Austria.
00:05:00water level rising by more than 20 cm, but since no further
00:05:03precipitation is expected for a long time from tomorrow, this
00:05:06increase is expected to be temporary, and from next week we will
00:05:10be counting the centimeters again. Now. the plant operates at about
00:05:1310% of its capacity, with authorities working on solutions in
00:05:17case the drop in the Danube's water level becomes a
00:05:20long-term problem. In the United Kingdom, London's
00:05:24once-green Blackheath Park has been transformed into a dry
00:05:28desert. Multiple heatwaves have caused drought
00:05:31conditions affecting all of Wales and about half of
00:05:35England. This is the driest July ever recorded,
00:05:38resulting in the worst grain harvest of the
00:05:42last 42 years. And in
00:05:45Bosnia, successive heatwaves and prolonged drought are turning
00:05:48corn crops into parched lands. As farmers
00:05:52say, this year's harvest has been destroyed, while the times when the
00:05:55fields yielded 6 and 7
00:05:57acres,
00:06:05the corn crop will be, my guess is that this year's
00:06:08corn crop will be.
00:06:42The government has imposed restrictions on consumption and water rationing to
00:06:46deal with the worsening drought, with warnings of extreme
00:07:01July was the driest month recorded in San Khan for the
00:07:04last 120 years. Meteorologists warn that dry
00:07:08conditions will continue until September.
00:07:12Changing the subject, the signing of the special spatial framework for
00:07:16tourism provoked a reaction from Ankara. The Turkish Ministry
00:07:19of Foreign Affairs reiterates the grey zones in the Aegean and, referring
00:07:23to the Greek islands, speaks of geographical features whose
00:07:26sovereignty was not ceded to Greece through international
00:07:30treaties.
00:07:32Ankara reiterates the provocative rhetoric about grey zones in the Aegean, following
00:07:36the signing of the special spatial plan for
00:07:39tourism by the Ministries of Environment and Tourism.
00:07:43The plan concerns the further development of tourist activity and the
00:07:47attraction of investments with simultaneous priority for the protection of the natural and
00:07:50cultural environment, but Turkey attempts to instrumentalize it regarding the
00:07:54Aegean and its unacceptable claims. It will not have any
00:07:57legal consequence for Turkey in the context of the interconnected issues of the
00:08:01Aegean between the two countries, including certain
00:08:04geographical features, whose sovereignty was not ceded to
00:08:08Greece through international treaties. Unilateral actions should be avoided
00:08:12in closed or non-closed seas, such as the Aegean and the
00:08:15Mediterranean. This is not the first time that Ankara reacts to initiatives by
00:08:19Greece, reiterating its long-standing positions. It is a repetition
00:08:22of Turkey's long-standing positions, which we have seen before. The issue
00:08:26is how things will evolve and how Turkey will
00:08:30react to other Greek initiatives, not so much in the
00:08:33spatial framework for tourism, but in,
00:08:36in, in, when the implementation of the electrical interconnection with
00:08:40Cyprus via the political will begin.
00:08:44This essentially also
00:08:48becomes foreign policy. It's not just about defining
00:08:51maritime zones, even with the spatial plan concerning
00:08:55our islands, even with the parks,
00:08:59the marine ones, similar reactions came from Turkey after the
00:09:03announcement of the national marine park in the southern
00:09:05Aegean. Turkey, Saudi Arabia and
00:09:09Pakistan sign a joint defense agreement in Mecca,
00:09:13strengthening their strategic cooperation in a period of intense instability in the
00:09:16Middle East. In a post on X, the Turkish president states that the
00:09:20agreement is not directed against any country, but rather
00:09:24is open to the participation of all brotherly nations seeking the
00:09:28intention of peace, prosperity and stability in the
00:09:31region.
00:09:35The leaders of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan meet
00:09:39in the holy city of Mecca, and while the Middle East is in the
00:09:42flames of war, after a year of negotiations, the
00:09:46talks in a cordial atmosphere culminate with the
00:09:49co-signing of a joint defense agreement. The three leaders
00:09:53form an axis which, according to the joint communiqué of the
00:09:56meeting, aims to strengthen collective
00:09:59deterrence against any aggressive
00:10:01action.
00:10:08under the pact each nation pledges to protect each other in the
00:10:11future. Ankara, Riyadh and Islamabad
00:10:14form a strong defense triangle, being Muslim
00:10:18countries with a Sunni majority and at the same time
00:10:21allies and clients of the United States. If
00:10:25any one of these three states is attacked, the other two would be bound by this
00:10:29agreement to step in. This is a big development, so
00:10:33there was already a mutual defense pact between
00:10:36Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, that was signed last year, so what
00:10:39today does is Turkey being brought into the fold? The three countries
00:10:43form the Sunni defense triangle. Turkey
00:10:46is the only Muslim country,
00:10:49possessing the second largest army in the North Atlantic
00:10:52alliance, and is in regional rivalry
00:10:55with Israel. Pakistan is the only Muslim country with a nuclear
00:10:59arsenal and has been, since its establishment, in a state
00:11:03of hostility and territorial claims with India, while oil-rich
00:11:07Saudi Arabia hosts
00:11:10the holiest sites of Islam and is the main
00:11:14rival of Iran in the Middle East. A few hours
00:11:17before the signing of the Mecca pact, the visit and
00:11:20statements of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Damascus
00:11:24ignite.
00:11:55Fidan is for Israel to stop protecting itself from threats to
00:11:58its security. This is not going to happen. A Turkish
00:12:02official claims that the Mecca pact has
00:12:05an exclusively defensive character, is not directed against a specific
00:12:09country and remains open for signature to other states in the
00:12:12region. However, all three sides of the defense triangle
00:12:16are concerned about Israel's increasingly dominant stance in the
00:12:20region, as well as the attacks of the Shiite Iranian regime
00:12:24on its states.
00:12:27In anticipation of the announcement of an agreement for the opening of the Strait of
00:12:30Hormuz, which appears to have been reached between Iran and Oman, the
00:12:33messages coming from the American side show optimism, as
00:12:37Louisa Croondiri will tell us. An American official who spoke under
00:12:41anonymity to Reuters noted that an agreement is expected
00:12:45soon, as he said, from the moment this is announced, the
00:12:49United States will lift the blockade of Iranian
00:12:51ports. Another American official, according to the news,
00:12:55notes that the temporary maritime route will be valid for 60
00:12:59days, during which negotiators will work for a
00:13:02long-term agreement for the full opening of the strait and for the continuation
00:13:06of talks for a nuclear agreement. In diametrically
00:13:09opposite direction are the Guardians of the Revolution who today declare
00:13:13that the opening of the strait is not related to the
00:13:15negotiations, but depends on Washington's acceptance of Tehran's
00:13:19terms. In any case, the maritime passage remains
00:13:23unsafe, with the national company of Abu Dhabi
00:13:26announcing that one of its ships passing through the strait
00:13:30was targeted by a missile early today, but no
00:13:33injuries were reported. At the same time, CNN reports that the Chief of
00:13:37Staff of the United States Army, General Dan Kain,
00:13:40has made it clear to Trump's top advisers that the
00:13:44United States must find a way out of the war with
00:13:47Iran, and this is because the military options available for
00:13:50escalating the conflict could backfire, while
00:13:54it is unlikely to achieve the
00:13:58goals of the American president. A puzzle that
00:14:01Donald Trump is called upon to solve. Thank you very much, Louisa, for now.
00:14:05In political news now, the clashes continue between
00:14:08the government and the opposition over the Supreme Court's decision to
00:14:12keep the wiretapping case in its archives. PASOK implies
00:14:15that every available opportunity was not utilized
00:14:19to investigate a scandal that harmed the rule of
00:14:22law. A new field of political
00:14:26confrontation is the decision of the Supreme Court prosecutor
00:14:29Evangelos Bakella to reject the retrieval of the
00:14:32wiretapping case from the archive. The requests had been
00:14:35submitted, among others, by Antonis Samaras and Christos Spirtzis.
00:14:39Harilaou Trikoupi launches an attack against the government and claims
00:14:43that critical questions surrounding the case remain
00:14:47unanswered.
00:15:25and from the smaller opposition. The provocative persistence of
00:15:29justice serves the government in multiple ways in its
00:15:32effort to cover up its responsibilities for this dirty
00:15:35scandal. The scandal that started from the Maximos
00:15:38Mansion is being attempted once again to be buried,
00:15:42but democracy is not filed away. The attempt to cover up
00:15:46the scandal continues with the excellent cooperation of the government and the Supreme
00:15:49Court. The country must breathe again, and
00:15:53no matter how hard they try, in the end truth,
00:15:56light and justice will prevail, in the end
00:15:59we will have oxygen and life. Citizens are watching
00:16:03and judging this unacceptable stance of senior judicial
00:16:06officials who...
00:16:10of the case and with political implications. We cannot
00:16:13judge the decisions of justice with other criteria. In the opinion of the
00:16:17Supreme Court prosecutor, no new evidence was presented beyond what
00:16:21had already been investigated and would justify the retrieval of the
00:16:24case from the archives, while he invoked legal reasons for the
00:16:28rejection of the requests that were submitted.
00:16:31The crisis between Italy and Spain escalates over the
00:16:35immigration issue. Madrid reinstates border
00:16:38controls for travelers arriving from Italy in retaliation for
00:16:42Rome's refusal to lift the temporary suspension of the
00:16:45Schengen Agreement. Louisa is with us again. In this
00:16:49context, Spanish authorities began to conduct border
00:16:52checks from one minute past midnight Greek time on all travelers
00:16:56coming from Italy, whether they are Italian citizens or
00:17:00other nationalities arriving in Spain via Italy. The
00:17:03measure will be in effect until September 7th. Earlier, Spain
00:17:07had asked Italy to reinstate the Schengen Agreement, but
00:17:10Georgia Meloni emphasized that she would not succumb to ultimatums and
00:17:14would maintain border controls for arrivals from Spain
00:17:18until at least August 15th, a day for which
00:17:21a new call has been made on social media for a massive
00:17:25crossing to Ceuta. Thank you very much, Louisa, we remain
00:17:29outside the borders and at Donald Trump's angry
00:17:32reaction to the court decision that blocks the construction of the
00:17:35magnificent ballroom. At the White House, the American
00:17:39president Maria Kapiri called the decision a
00:17:42national disgrace and has already announced that she will
00:17:45appeal to the Supreme Court. By decision
00:17:48of the Court of Appeals, the construction of a ballroom, a ballroom
00:17:52at the White House costing 400
00:17:55million, is put on hold. The majority of judges stated that
00:17:58the creation of such a large and costly
00:18:02ballroom should have been a
00:18:06not exclusively of the President. The previous government demolished
00:18:09the entire eastern wing of the White House, the
00:18:13most famous building in the United States, without congressional
00:18:16approval, and an institution responsible for the preservation of American historical
00:18:19monuments, resorted to justice. Trump
00:18:22described the decision as horrific and politically motivated on social
00:18:26media, while stating that the military considers the decision a
00:18:29threat to national security. Let's see what the next moves
00:18:32of the American president will be. Thank you very much
00:18:35Maria. Colors. tradition and impressive images from
00:18:39different corners of the world for the continuation, ladies and gentlemen, from China to
00:18:43the United States. At the Chinese Dalian festival, the raging
00:18:46waterfalls and blooming sunflowers captivate the

00:22:48clear today, we see the most recent satellite
00:22:51image. We expect light clouds and
00:22:55some rainfall, mainly in Macedonia, western Greece and the
