00:00:00from Europe's side, now. Yes, Stavros and Andi Bernam expressed his full solidarity
00:00:03with the Ukrainian president and pledged that the United Kingdom will continue to increase
00:00:07pressure on Moscow. The European Union and its High Representative Kayas made it clear
00:00:11that Europe will not relax its pressure on
00:00:15Russia. We expect a similar stance tomorrow from the meeting of the
00:00:19Foreign Ministers of the European Union, where a new
00:00:29the man who was found dead in Glyfada early this morning
00:00:32seems to have had a rich past. The victim had gunshot wounds to the
00:00:36head and had also been involved with the authorities in the context of the investigation into the
00:00:39Greek Mafia. Let's go to George Potosaltis who is following the report.
00:00:43George. Specifically, Stavros, the 53-year-old had been arrested in the
00:00:46past as a member of extortion gangs which
00:00:50are connected to the so-called "Thamnakias" or "Crazy
00:00:53Giannis", a leading figure of the Greek Mafia who was murdered in April
00:00:562025 in Chalandri. He was reportedly
00:01:00working as security in nightclubs in recent years. Now, apart from
00:01:03his past in the nightlife, the
00:01:0653-year-old had also been arrested for domestic violence, as well as
00:01:10for two incidents of shootings which are connected to
00:01:13rivalries over the dominance of a football
00:01:17team's fans. So, in this past and in the recent activities of the
00:01:2150-year-old, the motives for the murder are being sought by the officers of the
00:01:24organized crime department who have taken over the investigations. We should note that the
00:01:2859-year-old was under restrictive conditions after the arrests
00:01:32we mentioned earlier. The perpetrators had ambushed him at the
00:01:36junction of Panagouli and Karamani streets. They reportedly attacked him from behind as
00:01:39the 52-year-old was riding his motorcycle near his
00:01:43home. We should emphasize that police have collected
00:01:47eight shell casings from the scene. One bullet hit him in the head, and at least five
00:01:50hit him in the back. An attempt is also being made to collect video footage
00:01:54that may have captured the
00:02:03occurred early this morning in the coastal zone of Volos, when
00:02:0610 youths stopped a taxi, dragged out the passengers
00:02:10and severely beat them. The perpetrators then disappeared, and the
00:02:13authorities, Michalis Tezaris, are searching for their
00:02:16traces. An unprecedented incident of violence, Stavros,
00:02:20here on the beach of Volos early this morning, a group of 10
00:02:23people essentially set up a blockade for a taxi driver
00:02:26carrying two people from Skopelos.
00:02:31for footballers, whom they pulled out of the vehicle and then severely beat
00:02:35them. According to what we know, there had been an argument between
00:02:38the group of 10 people and the two
00:02:42people from Skopelos in a bar at a short distance from the port of Volos.
00:02:46So, after they argued there, the two people left and got into a taxi. The 10
00:02:50people followed them in their own vehicles, and when they arrived here at the
00:02:53coastal front of Volos, where we are, they blocked the
00:02:56taxi in front and back, pulled the people out of the vehicle, and then
00:03:00beat them. The victims were taken to Volos Hospital
00:03:04for first aid, and according to what we know, the port authorities
00:03:07who are conducting the preliminary investigation into the case, have already
00:03:11arrested one person, who, according to the victims,
00:03:14was identified as one of the 10
00:03:17who beat them. Now the port authorities
00:03:21are looking for the other 9, either from statements that the victims will give,
00:03:25or from video footage that will be sought from the area
00:03:28around the port here in Volos.
00:03:30Truly an incredible incident, Michalis. Let's see what an eyewitness told you a little earlier.
00:03:34Two groups got into an altercation inside a
00:03:37nightclub. Later, two
00:03:40from one group left the club and
00:03:44tried to find a taxi to get away. However, about 10 people
00:03:47followed them, the number is not yet clear,
00:03:51and they blocked the taxi, dragged them out, and
00:03:54severely beat them. The case is ongoing
00:03:57because the port authority has taken it over
00:04:01because the area where the incident occurred concerns the
00:04:04port authority and they are now looking to utilize information from CCTV
00:04:07or anything else found in the
00:04:10that, as the 11 defendants in the case of the
00:04:13criminal group that committed fraud against EFKA
00:04:16are testifying before the investigator. Among the defendants
00:04:20are Philippos Kampouris and his wife, who are also attributed a leading role.
00:04:24Let's go to Eida Orchanni, who is following the
00:04:26case.
00:04:28Good afternoon, Stavros. And so far the two accountants have completed their testimonies,
00:04:32stating that they had a purely administrative role, following the
00:04:36instructions of Philippos Kampouris. In fact,
00:04:40they presented emails to the prosecutorial authorities
00:04:43which show that they were informing him of his debts to the state and even
00:04:47urged him to proceed with the necessary arrangements for his
00:04:51debts. They also claimed that since
00:04:532024 they had terminated their cooperation
00:04:56with him, as he had not paid them.
00:05:007 months now, the president of LAOS, for his part,
00:05:04as we learn, in his memorandum will
00:05:07argue that his accountants had
00:05:10mismanaged his companies.
00:05:12Specifically, he will state that every time
00:05:15one of his companies closed,
00:05:18an accounting error showed that the staff continued to
00:05:22work for them. Both he and his wife, as they also did in the
00:05:26pre-investigation, will deny all charges
00:05:30of fraud and will claim that they simply had outstanding debts
00:05:33to the state. We should remind you at this point,
00:05:37Stavros, that the 11 defendants are being prosecuted
00:05:40on a case-by-case basis for 50' offenses,
00:05:43while the damage is estimated to be close to 1.5
00:05:46million towards EFKA and 5 million towards the
00:05:50state. Let's thank him very much. Revealing
00:05:53conversations, employee testimonies and millions of euros in debts are at the
00:05:57heart of the investigation into the network of companies in which Philippos Kampouris
00:06:01reportedly played a leading role. The case file describes a network
00:06:04of businesses with debts that exceed 4.6
00:06:07million, while the defense denies the charges of
00:06:10fraud.
00:06:13The 11 defendants in the case of the alleged criminal
00:06:16organization that defrauded EFKA
00:06:20and the state appeared before the investigator. Among them are Philippos Kampouris, his wife and
00:06:24nine other individuals who are called upon to explain the network
00:06:27of companies that, according to the authorities, left behind millions of
00:06:31euros in debts. They prove beyond doubt that these people acted
00:06:34legally, always following instructions, and that essentially their
00:06:38role in this particular case is purely administrative. The damage to
00:06:42the state is estimated at approximately 1.5 million, while the total to the
00:06:46public approaches 5 million. However,
00:06:49the defense of Philippos Kampouris disputes both the amount of
00:06:52the debts and the charge of fraud and criminal
00:06:55organization. The actual amount that
00:06:59these companies, in which Mr. Kampouris was involved in some way,
00:07:02owe, which we will mention during the
00:07:05investigation, does not exceed
00:07:07250,000 euros.
00:07:10A significant role in the case seems to have been played by
00:07:20in one of the conversations recorded by the police wiretap, the
00:07:24alleged leader asks him not to reveal his home
00:07:28address. If someone asks you where you live, don't
00:07:31don't don't hang up the phone. If
00:07:34if, I'm sorry, an unknown number calls you and asks you where
00:07:38you live, where do you live etc., hang up
00:07:41okay okay my friend. okay, and you never give
00:07:44that address? Yes, here, here, I mean, where I live
00:07:48now, of course, yes, yes, yes, my dear Philip, yes,
00:07:51yes, if someone calls you and you don't know them, hang up on them and block them,
00:07:55okay, yes, Philip, yes, open the shop, my dear Philip,
00:07:58open it, no, and it won't happen, probably,
00:08:01kisses. The financial police investigation
00:08:04has mapped out a network of 39 companies with common
00:08:08contact details, headquarters and individuals in their
00:08:11management. Companies that, according to the case file, successively changed names
00:08:15and managers, while insurance and tax
00:08:18obligations remained
00:08:19unpaid.
00:08:23The Prime Minister made an assessment of the Rubio visit in his Sunday
00:08:26post, emphasizing energy cooperation with the United
00:08:30States, as well as the upgraded role of Greece. At the same time, high
00:08:34fuel prices and energy inflation are fueling political
00:08:37reactions. The Prime Minister sends messages
00:08:41to many recipients with his assessment of the visit of the American Secretary
00:08:45of State to Athens, focusing on strengthening the strategic
00:08:48relationship between Greece and the United States in a series of critical sectors. From
00:08:52defense and security, energy and shipping, to
00:08:55investments in regional partnerships and technology.
00:08:59Greece is consolidating its position as a pillar of stability in an unstable
00:09:02region and as a reliable partner, as well as a bridge
00:09:06of cooperation between Europe, the United States, the Middle
00:09:09East and the countries of the Arab world and. At the same time,
00:09:13apart from defense and the upgrade of F-16s, the integration of
00:09:17F-35s and long-term armaments programs,
00:09:20Kyriakos Mitsotakis makes special reference to energy and the
00:09:23importance of the vertical corridor. It strengthens the prospects of Greece's
00:09:27emergence as a hub for natural gas transport to the European market,
00:09:31while also creating opportunities for greater utilization of
00:09:34American LNG. At the same time, energy inflation
00:09:38continues to fuel political confrontation, despite the benefits that the Prime Minister
00:09:41emphasizes. that the approval of the escape clause by the European
00:09:45Union for interventions in the sector of domestic energy will bring.
00:09:49This is absolute communicative sleight of hand. Due to extreme
00:09:53managerial incompetence, they were unable to utilize European
00:09:56money in these sectors, and now they present their decision to reach into
00:10:00the pocket of the Greek taxpayer to cover them as a strategic move.
00:10:04It is a total management failure, a recovery
00:10:07fund, and we could have used them
00:10:10without putting in our own. Our country was the first to
00:10:14have its request for escape accepted, i.e., to be able to
00:10:18make investments in energy. This one billion is not
00:10:22negligible. It will go to public buildings, to schools,
00:10:25to improve their energy autonomy. The only ones who benefit from the
00:10:29European Union's decision to activate the escape clause
00:10:33in energy are the energy groups. The government is trying to
00:10:37deal with the enormous energy crisis, which will impoverish
00:10:40Greeks and expand the profiteering of cartels, with painkillers. No more
00:10:43self-congratulatory reviews, Mr. Mitsotakis. Greek
00:10:47citizens live in a different Greece from the one you describe.
00:10:51Mr. Mitsotakis, society is suffocating. The
00:10:54escape clause. Investments that are underway until
00:10:562028. With a basketball-themed video
00:11:00with passes and shots, Alexis Tsipras announced
00:11:04the inclusion of Angelos Koronios in SYRIZA. Let's go to Christos Ambati, who has all
00:11:08the details and of course, Stavros, among the shots and passes, there were also meaningful
00:11:12political statements and the "let's beat them" from
00:11:15Alexis Tsipras, who entered the court and, as you can see in the shots, played this one-on-one with
00:11:19the emblematic and now veteran Greek basketball player Angelos Koronios.
00:11:22He saw his political team get a great addition with
00:11:26a shooter who, as he aptly put it, rarely missed. He also
00:11:30referred to his career and his place in history. The top scorer of the
00:11:33first division is now wearing the jersey of the Greek left-wing
00:11:37coalition and is officially on the list of candidates for the
00:11:40next elections with this video. A political collaboration, Stavros, that may start from the
00:11:44court, but with this, Mr. Tsipras wants to send his own message
00:11:55a second one and I'll win, my friend.
00:11:58How do you see it in our team? Of course, I'm ready. We're shooters,
00:12:01brother, it's my specialty. Let's beat them.
00:12:05Of course.
00:12:07Ladies and gentlemen, coastal fishermen in Patras have taken new action,
00:12:11demanding measures to support their profession and protesting the high price of
00:12:15fuel and seafood
00:12:25Early this morning, here at the fishing pier of Patras, the fishermen of the Achaean
00:12:28Capital gathered
00:12:32in a symbolic blockade of the area, as they announced
00:12:36that they will continue their mobilizations despite what has been said by
00:12:39their colleagues from other areas of the country, and they continue dynamically
00:12:43as, they told us, their demands have not been met
00:12:47until today. You mentioned two of the main demands,
00:12:50fuel is their main issue, as they told
00:12:54us, Stavros. They cannot take their boats, their ships
00:12:57out of the fishing pier, as the cost is
00:13:01enormous and they cannot cope with the economic data
00:13:04that have been created due to international conditions and the
00:13:08rise in fuel prices, as well as for the
00:13:11illegal imports that are coming mainly from Turkey. They speak
00:13:14of unfair competition and an issue that the competent
00:13:18ministry is called upon to address. As they told us, they will continue their
00:13:21mobilizations with more dynamic forms in the immediate
00:13:25future, hoping, of course, that by then relief measures for the
00:13:29sector will have been announced, because, as they told us, if measures are not announced, then the image
00:13:33you see right behind with the boats tied up, you will see it and we
00:13:37will see it, as they will not be able to go out and they will have abandoned the profession
00:13:40they have been doing for years. Now, Christos, the Prime Minister also referred
00:13:44to the issue in his Sunday
00:13:46post.
00:13:49Exactly, Kyriakos Mitsotakis referred to the issue
00:13:52of fishermen and the financial difficulties
00:13:56they face. Among other things, the Prime Minister announced that we are doubling
00:13:59the subsidy for fishing fuel for the period
00:14:03April-August to 32 cents per
00:14:06liter in order to support our fishermen, the Prime Minister stated. I should say that we are already
00:14:09examining other possibilities to support the sector, but
00:14:13I will have more to tell you towards the end of the
00:14:17month, the Prime Minister stated among other things, where these announcements are expected by
00:14:20the fishermen both here in Patras and in other
00:14:23areas in order, as earlier, to be able to deal with the many
00:14:34with a total value of over 1 million were found and
00:14:37seized on a sailboat west of Chios, while
00:14:41two Ukrainians who were on board were arrested by the coast guard.
00:14:44The coast guard even released an impressive video of the
00:14:46operation. Let's go to Vangelis Kokolakos who has gathered all the
00:14:50information. And the images from the nocturnal operation of the Coast Guard off
00:14:54Chios. We are watching them on our screens. It led to the discovery
00:14:57of 360 kg of cannabis worth over one
00:15:01million euros. We see the armed coast guards approaching a sailboat
00:15:04with a Croatian flag in the dark. They board the vessel and immediately begin searching with
00:15:08flashlights. Their hands enter the interior spaces, they open the
00:15:12compartments and search even the tightest spots of the sailboat. The
00:15:15operation took place on Saturday morning approximately 6.5 nautical miles
00:15:19south of Antipsara with the participation of two patrol boats and special
00:15:23forces of the Coast Guard. The interesting thing is that the authorities initially had
00:15:26information that this sailboat was probably involved in a migrant trafficking ring
00:15:30or other illegal activities, but when they checked it, they found
00:15:34themselves in front of a completely different cargo, a total of 27 travel
00:15:38bags full of cannabis packages weighing a total
00:15:41of 360 kg and 700 g. On board the vessel were
00:15:45the two Ukrainians who were arrested,
00:15:51CCTV camera in Evosmos, Thessaloniki, when the driver, who had
00:15:55consumed alcohol, crashed his vehicle into a shop's
00:15:58storefront, injuring three
00:16:07afternoon. It seems that the patrons of a catering establishment in western
00:16:11Thessaloniki, specifically in the area of Evosmos, experienced scenes
00:16:15of terror today early this morning, a little after one.
00:16:18Absolute terror. A little after one
00:16:21then they spotted the first patrol car, the
00:16:2545-year-old driver speeding and making dangerous
00:16:28maneuvers. So, it didn't take long for
00:16:32disaster to strike at the store that you
00:16:36see behind me. After a while, he crashes in and
00:16:39injures three of the
00:16:42patrons. We must say that they had to be transferred to an
00:16:46on-call hospital in Thessaloniki. Fortunately, we must say that
00:16:49two of them were discharged,
00:16:52while one more person remains hospitalized. As eyewitnesses
00:16:56reported, the planters that were placed outside
00:17:00the store significantly slowed down the crazy course
00:17:04of the vehicle and by a miracle we didn't
00:17:06have. It was of course found by the traffic police
00:17:10officers that the driver was under the influence of alcohol. I must tell you at this
00:17:14point that the exchanges
00:17:17after the incident
00:17:20between the patrons and the
00:17:23driver are shocking, who, not realizing what he had done, commented
00:17:27that the bumper had been ripped off his vehicle. He tried to
00:17:30escape, but the patrons stopped him and so he was arrested

00:17:45river is swelling, causing destruction and evacuations
00:17:48of areas, while four dead and extensive damage are left
00:17:51behind by Hurricane Isaias, which hit the southeastern coasts of the
00:17:55United
00:17:56States.
00:18:00The waters of the Budhigandaki river flow down impetuously with tons
00:18:04of mud and rocks in northern Nepal. Bridges and houses are
00:18:08swept away.
00:18:11With the help of the army, residents from the banks are
00:18:14hastily moved to higher ground.
00:18:18Nepal has not yet managed to recover from the devastating floods
00:18:21of August, which left more than
00:18:241,400 dead and thousands
00:18:26missing.
00:18:30Images of absolute destruction in Florida after the deadly passage of
00:18:33Hurricane Isaias. It made landfall with torrential rains
00:18:37and winds reaching 169
00:18:40km/h. The roof of this building complex
00:18:44in Pensacola was swept away
00:18:46entirely. Trees and power poles
00:18:50fell, hundreds of thousands of residents remain without power.
00:19:03The extent of the damage is also great in Alabama, although the hurricane
00:19:07weakened to category 2, the danger remains.
00:19:21Authorities in California are also on alert.
00:19:25Coastal homes in Long Beach were evacuated after the
00:19:28destruction caused by the huge waves of tropical

00:19:50floods.
00:19:53people are afraid that the hurricane is already here
00:19:57and the damage it can cause, the wind, the
00:20:00rain, all that. Simon is expected to approach the western
