00:00:01directly without consulting with the Europeans, secondly, the Europeans are called to pay the
00:00:05price and the price is very high, because continuing the sanctions
00:00:09on principle, that's why they do it primarily, they will pay more expensive
00:00:12energy than the United States in case, of course, that the
00:00:16Americans start importing Russian diesel, and of course,
00:00:19one more time where we see President Trump leaving
00:00:23Russia, I'm sorry, Ukraine exposed. Let's leave Zelensky aside,
00:00:26because, and I'll conclude with this, if Russia really resolves
00:00:30these chapters with the United States, it will be able to pour
00:00:33more money into the war it is waging against Ukraine, which will
00:00:37also force the Europeans, in turn, to give even more money for
00:00:46the other major war front, developments are intensifying global
00:00:49concern for a generalized conflagration. The deadly
00:00:53missile attack on Riyadh International Airport provokes an angry
00:00:56reaction from Saudi Arabia, which warns of
00:00:59retaliation, while Washington leaves open the possibility of
00:01:02military involvement on its
00:01:04side.
00:01:07Dangerous escalation in the Middle East after a missile
00:01:10attack on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi
00:01:14Arabia. At least 12 people lose their
00:01:18lives, including an American citizen, while more than
00:01:22300 are injured.
00:01:25Riyadh remains on war alert as the attack is attributed.
00:02:14All airlines, employees, and travelers should not use
00:02:18the airports and airspace of Saudi Arabia. They are
00:02:21exposed to targeting and constitute a theater of operations for our
00:02:24forces. The attack has already been condemned by
00:02:28the American president.
00:04:00Riyadh schools will remain closed with classes being
00:04:04conducted remotely, while the country's international
00:04:07airport is closed. Louisa Krontiri
00:04:10is with us again. A little while ago there were new reports
00:04:14of a new strike at Riyadh International Airport. Again, Louisa, what
00:04:17happened? According to initial information, it is a new missile
00:04:21attack against King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. A fire
00:04:25has broken out at the scene, with the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority speaking of
00:04:28injuries, but without giving more
00:04:31information. Meanwhile, authorities announced that they intercepted a
00:04:35cruise missile near the airport, which remains temporarily
00:04:38closed. A little while ago, the Houthis announced that they also attacked
00:04:42Dammam airport and Aramco facilities in the east of the
00:04:45country, while they claimed responsibility for the attack on Riyadh
00:04:49airport. And the tension is not limited to Riyadh. For
00:04:52weeks now, a fierce battle has been underway for the
00:04:56control of the Bab el-Mandeb strait, as it is...
00:05:00it seems, one of the most important maritime routes of
00:05:03global trade, and the obvious question is why its
00:05:07control has acquired such great importance. It is, Christina,
00:05:11the southern passage from... and to the Red Sea, through which
00:05:1410 to 12% of global maritime trade passes. The
00:05:18Houthis seek to gain control of this particular strait, threatening to
00:05:22strangle the global energy market, which is already significantly
00:05:25pressured due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthis, who
00:05:28are supported by Iran, control the capital Sana'a and the
00:05:32northwestern part of Yemen, while in recent weeks they had
00:05:35also advanced into a large part of the coastline to the south
00:05:39at the entrance of the Bab el-Mandeb strait. They themselves
00:05:41had captured important areas such as the
00:05:45port of Mocha and the island of Perim, but government
00:05:48forces, with the support of Saudi Arabia, launched a large-scale
00:05:52counteroffensive, taking back control of critical
00:05:55points, without it being clear, however, who controls and to what
00:05:59extent the disputed areas. Just a short while ago,
00:06:02we also had a warning from the Greek Ministry of
00:06:05Foreign Affairs, which, Christina, advises Greek citizens to
00:06:08avoid travel to Saudi Arabia, except for absolutely
00:06:18Donald Trump leaves open the possibility of military
00:06:21support to Saudi Arabia, with the risk,
00:06:24with Michalis Ignatiou with us, of an even greater involvement
00:06:28of the United States in the war. Michalis, so let's
00:06:31see what this means, the intentions of
00:06:35the American president, and how close Washington is to such
00:06:38a decision eventually.
00:06:43Yes, Christina, it seems that we may be
00:06:46close. We already learned that after the
00:06:49attacks, the Kingdom requested urgent
00:06:53support from the United States. President
00:06:56Trump is considering today the request to
00:06:59assist Saudi Arabia in retaliation against the
00:07:03Houthi rebels. The
00:07:05Americans, however, meaningfully note that the
00:07:08Houthis are Iran,
00:07:12because they are supported by Tehran. So
00:07:15one position is this, to
00:07:19rush to help. The other position is that it could further
00:07:22involve the United States in a second
00:07:26front against Iran. He has to
00:07:29decide. He made a statement in his usual
00:07:33way, yes, but maybe we'll
00:07:36consider it, he said. I just learned about the recent
00:07:40attack, so we will make a decision, we are moving very
00:07:44quickly. 24 hours have passed since then. However,
00:07:48meetings are being held on the matter, and despite the fact that
00:07:51the Pentagon does not comment, there has been a lot of movement of
00:07:55air forces towards American bases in
00:07:59Europe. Seven tankers have also been moved, which means
00:08:03that if Mr. Trump decides to assist Saudi
00:08:07Arabia, B2 bombers will also be used.
00:08:10However, and this is the most important, I think, President
00:08:14Trump canceled a little while ago his trip to
00:08:18Virginia where he would attend a MAGA
00:08:21movement lunch. He will
00:08:24therefore remain at the White House, whatever
00:08:27this decision means.
00:08:35war fronts, ladies and gentlemen, have a direct impact on the economy as well, with
00:08:39the fuel market remaining in the spotlight.
00:08:43They estimate that in the coming days we will see reductions in the price of
00:08:46gasoline, while on Wednesday, let's remember, announcements are expected for
00:08:50heating oil and its subsidy from the
00:08:52government. A drop in international fuel prices
00:08:56is predicted by market players after the agreement for the supply of
00:09:004.8 million barrels of diesel from
00:09:03Russia. When a product enters the
00:09:06market, the laws say that the price will drop, it will not
00:09:10be missing from somewhere else, it will be surplus in... Europe.
00:09:13It is most likely that prices will fall. The small drop expected
00:09:17in Brent will theoretically also affect prices in
00:09:20Greece. Brent oil is expected to reach up to $95,
00:09:23which means for the Greek market by the end of the week
00:09:27we will see reductions, especially in gasoline which has remained stuck at a stable
00:09:312.20. Traders also expect a drop in prices for
00:09:34heating oil. If it started today without any
00:09:37subsidy, it would start at 1.90. The Prime Minister spoke
00:09:41below 1.70. Let's make a hypothetical
00:09:44scenario of 1.65 with the government's intervention, we say if
00:09:48it opens at 1600 euros, 1000
00:09:50liters, let's cross our fingers. According to Energy Minister Stavros
00:09:54Papastavrou, beneficiaries of the heating allowance will remain
00:09:58stable and the amount they will receive will increase. For the 1
00:10:01million 170 citizens, there will be a significant
00:10:05increase and with the subsidy, what the Prime Minister said
00:10:08will be adhered to, that it will be lower than the closing price.
00:10:13The announcements will be made on Wednesday, October 14th,
00:10:16one day before the start of heating oil
00:10:19distribution.
00:10:22High fuel prices and energy inflation are fueling
00:10:25political confrontation, with the opposition sharply criticizing the
00:10:29government. At the same time, the Prime Minister, in his Sunday post, reviews
00:10:33the week of the US Secretary of State's visit
00:10:36to Athens, and also
00:10:40gives special emphasis to energy cooperation,
00:10:49to many recipients with his assessment of the US Secretary of State's visit
00:10:53to Athens, focusing
00:10:55on strengthening the strategic relationship between Greece and the United States in
00:10:58a number of critical sectors. From defense and security, energy and
00:11:02shipping, to investments in regional partnerships and
00:11:06technology. Greece is consolidating its position as a pillar of stability in
00:11:10an unstable region and as a reliable partner, but also as
00:11:13a bridge of cooperation between Europe, the United States, the
00:11:17Middle East and the countries of the Arab world and the Gulf.
00:11:20In parallel, apart from defense and the upgrade of F-16s, the integration
00:11:24of F-35s and long-term
00:11:27armament programs, Kyriakos Mitsotakis makes special reference to energy
00:11:31and the importance of each corridor. It enhances the prospects
00:11:34of Greece emerging as a natural gas transport hub to the European
00:11:38market, while creating opportunities for greater
00:11:41utilization of American LNG. At the same time,
00:11:44energy inflation continues to fuel political confrontation,
00:11:48despite the benefits that the Prime Minister emphasizes will be brought by the approval
00:11:51of the escape clause by the European Union for interventions in the
00:11:55domestic energy sector. This is absolute communication
00:11:59sleight of hand. Due to extreme managerial incompetence, they could
00:12:03not utilize European funds in these sectors, and now
00:12:06they present as a strategic move their decision to dip into the pocket
00:12:10of the Greek taxpayer to cover them. It is a complete failure
00:12:14of recovery fund management, and we could have
00:12:17used them without putting in our own money. Our
00:12:20country was the first in which the request for the escape clause
00:12:24was accepted. That is, to be able to make investments in
00:12:27energy. This one billion is not negligible. It will go to public
00:12:31buildings, to schools, to kindergartens, to
00:12:33improve their energy autonomy. The only ones who benefit from the
00:12:37European Union's decision to activate the escape clause
00:12:41in energy are the energy groups. The government is trying to
00:12:44tackle the enormous energy crisis with aspirins, which will impoverish
00:12:48Greeks and extend the profiteering of cartels. No more
00:12:51self-congratulatory reviews, Mr. Mitsotakis.
00:12:55Citizens live in a different Greece than the one
00:12:58you describe, Mr. Mitsotakis. Society is suffocating. The escape
00:13:01clause concerns investments that are being planned until
00:13:042028.
00:13:07With a self-sufficient majority being the main stake of the
00:13:11elections, the confrontation between the government and PASOK intensifies
00:13:14as New Democracy insists on a clear mandate from the first
00:13:18ballot box and Harilaou Trikoupi claims governmental change. At the same time,
00:13:21in the left-wing political spectrum, Alexis Tsipras's effort to form
00:13:25his own political group with the latest addition being veteran basketball player
00:13:29Angelos Koronios provokes new reactions from
00:13:31SYRIZA. With self-sufficiency at stake,
00:13:35government and opposition clash over victory in the
00:13:38elections. The possibility of successive electoral contests
00:13:42was rejected by the government spokesman, insisting on a clear
00:13:45result from the first ballot box. National elections do not have
00:13:49a first and second round. Our clear and unique goal is self-sufficiency, and I'm not
00:13:53saying this delusionally, but because I sincerely believe that with the mistakes we need to
00:13:56correct, New Democracy under the leadership of Kyriakos Mitsotakis is the only
00:14:00political force that can continue to present to citizens a comprehensive
00:14:04plan. Harilaos Trikoupis is asking for a
00:14:07governing mandate, accusing the Prime Minister of falling below the
00:14:11bar of problems. The country needs a
00:14:14Prime Minister who can guarantee progress and
00:14:17stability for all, not a Prime Minister who asks for
00:14:2125%, simply to negotiate with the current
00:14:25members of his party his continued stay in power for his party. The
00:14:28Prime Minister has already admitted his failure and has set the bar
00:14:32low. Come on, Alexis, you're in. At the same
00:14:36time, with basketball terms, passes, and political
00:14:39quips, Alexis Tsipras gives the jersey of the Greek left
00:14:42coalition and with it the ticket for the ballots to
00:14:45veteran basketball player Angelos Koronios. The
00:14:49moments were shared in a video on social media shortly
00:14:53before his tour in Crete.
00:14:57If I lose this round, we'll go to a second and I'll win, my
00:15:00friend. How does he say it, in our team,
00:15:03of course, I'm ready, we're shooters, brother, it's my
00:15:07specialty, let's beat them, of course. SYRIZA unleashes
00:15:10double free throws at PASOK and the Greek left coalition, while also sending
00:15:13a message of the left's resurgence
00:15:17in Parliament. The fact that he is forming his own party and
00:15:20says he will defeat New Democracy alone, while his percentages are what they are, and PASOK
00:15:24is even lower.
00:15:38At the same time, the conflict between PASOK and the Greek left escalated
00:15:42today, prompted by Thanasis Karteros's article in the "Efimerida ton Syntakton" newspaper
00:15:45under the title "What is
00:15:48really happening with Mr. Androulakis?" Khrysa Ampatou is with us,
00:15:52Christina, at a time when the discussion has fully opened, also due to the poll
00:15:56results, about which party can eventually unseat New Democracy from
00:15:59power. So, Thanasis Karteros's article in the "Efimerida ton
00:16:03Syntakton" intensifies the tension between PASOK and the Greek
00:16:06Left. But
00:16:08also
00:16:13his new endeavor, as you will see in the card we have prepared, Mr. Karteros
00:16:17sarcastically wonders if it is ultimately political stupidity or
00:16:21some kind of strategy. He emphatically points out that
00:16:24Androulakis himself tirelessly presents Tsipras and
00:16:27Mitsotakis as two sides of the same coin. Never mind what Mrs. Anna says.
00:16:30The question therefore comes back again and again, persistently:
00:16:34political stupidity or party strategy? to target
00:16:37the Greek left coalition as the second party, hence Androulakis's
00:16:41exasperation. This is the version of stupidity, because attempts to tarnish
00:16:45Tsipras do not benefit PASOK, but Mitsotakis.
00:16:48An article that, as you understand, has provoked a sharp
00:16:52response from PASOK. Let's see it. When you choose to sling
00:16:55mud at PASOK through your paid army of trolls and digital
00:16:59gangs, but a team, indeed, Harilaou Trikoupi notes, don't
00:17:02expect the democratic world not to understand it. Mr.
00:17:05Tsipras, if you want to attack Nikos Androulakis, do it yourselves, don't
00:17:09hide behind your propagandists,
00:17:18for the motive behind the execution of the 53-year-old man who was murdered
00:17:21in Glyfada at midnight. The victim had repeatedly
00:17:25been involved with authorities for serious criminal cases and had
00:17:28been linked to leading members of the so-called
00:17:31Greek Mafia. A video shows the ambulance that arrived
00:17:35at the junction of Karamanli and Panagouli streets in Glyfada a few minutes after
00:17:38the execution of the 50-year-old man, exactly where they had sprinkled
00:17:41sawdust. The time was approximately one o'clock.
00:17:44The 50-year-old was on a high-powered motorcycle. Eight bullet casings
00:17:47were found here. There are no cameras; it's a blind spot. The two perpetrators were on
00:17:51a motorcycle and wearing dark clothes and helmets. They had set an ambush,
00:17:54waiting for the victim to leave his house, which is about 1
00:17:58km away from the scene of the murder. While in motion, the
00:18:01passenger opened fire, hitting the 52-year-old in the back, who
00:18:04fell off his motorcycle. Approximately five bullets
00:18:08pierced his back and one in his head. Eight bullet casings. Either someone was
00:18:12waiting for him there and knew he would pass, I see it as people of the
00:18:16night who went to settle some differences.
00:18:19This is the 55-year-old man who was found dead at midnight from the
00:18:22murderous shots of the two executioners in Glyfada. His image had been recorded in
00:18:26September 2021, a few minutes after he had carried out
00:18:30an armed attack against a 39-year-old man on a central street in
00:18:33Athens. As was ascertained from the investigation by the Greek FBI, the 52-year-old
00:18:37had a heavy criminal record and had been arrested as a member of extortion gangs. His
00:18:41activity had been linked to the so-called "Thamnakias," a major or crazy leading
00:18:45member of the Greek Mafia who was murdered in April
00:18:482025 in Chalandri, as well as with his deputy,
00:18:51nicknamed "Mavros" (Black), who was shot dead by executioners
00:18:55in Ilioupoli in December 2020.
00:18:58Apart from his involvement in the underworld, he had also been involved in two shooting incidents which
00:19:02are related to rivalries over dominance among fans of the
00:19:06same football team, as well as for domestic violence.
00:19:10Among other things, he was arrested in 2011 for incidents at a
00:19:12football match, in 2015 for the activities of the
00:19:15"Thamnakias" extortion gang, for an armed attack
00:19:18outside the Olympic Stadium in 2018, and for
00:19:22shootings in the center of Athens in
00:19:242022.
00:19:26Marathon co-defenses of the accused in the case of the
00:19:29criminal organization that allegedly left millions of euros in debt
00:19:32to the state and EFKA, with one trying
00:19:36to shift responsibility to the others. Filippos Kampouris
00:19:39denies that he was responsible for the financial management of the
00:19:42companies and refers to the accountants, who in turn
00:19:46reject the accusations and give their own version of their
00:19:49cooperation.
00:19:53Filippos Kampouris denies any involvement in the financial management of the companies.
00:19:57In his defense, the alleged
00:20:00leader of the criminal organization disclaims responsibility for the millions
00:20:03of euros in debt to the state and EFKA, pointing the finger at the
00:20:07accountants. "I never had as my work objective the accounting
00:20:11or tax management of companies, nor did I decide on the payment or non-payment
00:20:14of insurance contributions and their tax obligations. The relevant
00:20:18matters were handled by the responsible accountants, whose suggestions I
00:20:22relied on in processing the documents they asked me to
00:20:25sign."
00:20:28On his part, one of the accused accountants denies
00:20:31any involvement in the criminal organization and describes the falling out with
00:20:35Filippos Kampouris. "He did not fulfill his monthly financial
00:20:38obligations to my accounting firm, and we stopped keeping the
00:20:42accounting books and records of their companies. How is it possible for me to be a member of a
00:20:46criminal organization when I have no communication with the alleged
00:20:50leaders or accomplices or members of it since 2024?"
00:20:53The second accused accountant describes the difficulties in collaborating with
00:20:57the involved companies. "We reached the point of threatening that
00:21:01we would not submit the tax returns if they did not provide us with the appropriate
00:21:04documents or common accounts, because we would not be able to
00:21:07submit the financial statements or the tax return with incomplete and
00:21:11inaccurate data. These people had a purely declaratory
00:21:14role, that all their actions
00:21:18were at the behest of the main accused." His own
00:21:21version is also given by the accused who appears in the case file as
00:21:25a straw man. "I had friendly relations with Filipouris. Because I had
00:21:29professional problems in finding stable work and a stable salary,
00:21:32he suggested I work with him in companies. I knew about the companies I
00:21:36was working for normally. I was getting paid by them, but I had no other knowledge or
00:21:39involvement in administrative and tax matters." The damage to EFKA
00:21:42is estimated at 1.5 million, while the total for the
00:21:46public treasury reaches 5 million. The defense of
00:21:49Philippos Kampouris, however, disputes both the amount of the debts and the
00:21:52charge of fraud and criminal organization. "With the data
00:21:56in the case file, the offenses described
00:21:59do not exist. There may be
00:22:02damage to EFKA, and wrongly so, there is damage to EFKA,
00:22:06but this cannot translate into a benefit for
00:22:09anyone involved." After the completion of the defenses,
00:22:13the investigating judge and prosecutor will decide on the legal treatment
00:22:16of each of the 11 defendants.
00:22:20Ira Orhanis is following the developments, she has all the latest information,
00:22:24Ira. And already, Christina, most of the
00:22:2711 defendants have given their testimonies, we learn that all of them deny
00:22:31the accusations against them and accuse each other. We already heard
00:22:34how the two accountants point to Philippos Kampouris as the mastermind, but he, on
00:22:38his part, in the investigator's office, where he remained for three
00:22:42hours, denied the charge of fraud again and even
00:22:45claimed that the accountants were the ones who mismanaged his
00:22:49companies. It is said that every time from one of them
00:22:52an accounting error was found, it seemed that the staff
00:22:56continued to remain employed in them. Of particular
00:22:59interest is also the testimony of Kampouris's wife, who declared
00:23:03complete ignorance, saying that she was a simple employee in the
00:23:06companies. She specifically seems to have said: "My
00:23:10relationship with the businesses was limited to the actual
00:23:13provision of work with secretarial and organizational support,
00:23:16staff supervision, and customer service." So they are slowly
00:23:20starting to cross the
00:23:23threshold of the prosecutor's office to decide on their further
00:23:26legal treatment, a process that will be completed late tonight, Christina.
00:23:29Thank you very much, Ira. Questions remain
00:23:32unanswered about the death of a 20-year-old girl who
00:23:36collapsed after, as we will see in the report, using a
00:23:39narcotic substance during a night out. Her father,
00:23:43speaking to Sky, alleges that his daughter had been in danger before
00:23:47under similar circumstances. When
00:23:50we went to the hospital, our daughter was already
00:23:52gone,
00:23:55gone, and I want this
00:23:58thing,
00:24:01I don't know, a night out that
00:24:04ended in tragedy. A girl
00:24:07just 20 years old lost her life after using
00:24:11a narcotic substance, according to current information, the
00:24:1420-year-old and her friend were at an entertainment venue in
00:24:18eastern Thessaloniki, when they obtained a quantity of the
00:24:21narcotic substance MDMA from another unknown
00:24:25person. A short while later, the young woman lost consciousness and was transferred to
00:24:29a hospital in the city where, despite the doctors' efforts,
00:24:32she passed away on Saturday morning.
00:24:36Her father was devastated. girl talks to Sky and
00:24:39reports that three years ago a
00:24:43similar incident happened with the same person. three
00:24:46years ago again with the same person. that she was 16. the
00:24:50EK came and took her to Hippocrates then, again with again, again with
00:24:54excessive, yes, the family speaks of suspicious circumstances
00:24:58and requests that all aspects of the case be investigated. The family is
00:25:02determined to investigate everything. The only daughter
00:25:06was lost, all those guilty for
00:25:09this case must be found and punished. For the
00:25:12case, her friend of the same age was arrested. The
00:25:1620-year-old was charged with a felony.
00:25:20while he himself requested and received an extension to apologize next
00:25:23Tuesday. the investigations continue while the
00:25:27findings of the forensic examination are expected, so that
00:25:30the exact causes of
00:25:32death can be investigated.
00:25:35In Volos, two men ended up in the hospital after a brutal
00:25:38attack they received in the early hours of the morning from a group of about
00:25:4110 people, who mobilized the taxi they
00:25:44were in and beat them. Michalis Tezararis has the
00:25:48information. on charges of causing
00:25:52dangerous dangerous bodily harm and also robbery, Christina,
00:25:55two out of a total of 10 perpetrators were arrested, who in the early hours of the morning attacked
00:25:59two people aged 24 and 25
00:26:02at the port of Volos and beat them after first blocking the taxi
00:26:06they were in. According to Sky, one more person has been
00:26:10identified and is being sought in order to be arrested within the framework of the arrest in flagrante delicto.
00:26:13The TRS of the port authority are carrying out investigations in order to locate
00:26:17the remaining seven people. I would like to point out that the two
00:26:20injured persons were discharged this afternoon from the general hospital of
00:26:23Volos, they have head and body injuries. It is worth noting that the whole
00:26:27incident started in a club in Volos in the early hours of the morning,
00:26:31when the group of 10 people, along with the two footballers from Skopelos, for
00:26:35an unknown reason had an altercation, a verbal confrontation. Then the two
00:26:39people left the club, got into a taxi, but the group of 10 people
00:26:43followed them and when they arrived at the port in order to take the ship to go to
00:26:47Skopelos, then they blocked their taxi and forcibly pulled them out of the
00:26:50vehicle and brutally beat them, Christina. and let's see what
00:26:54a witness who saw the incident told you, Michalis.
00:26:57two groups clashed in a nightclub, on
00:27:01the way... two from one group left the
00:27:05center and tried to find a taxi to get away, but about 10
00:27:08people followed them, the number is not yet clear
00:27:12and they
00:27:14blocked their taxi, pulled them out and brutally beat them. The
00:27:18case is in progress because the port authority has taken
00:27:21it over, because the place where the incident occurred concerns the
00:27:24port authority and they are now looking to utilize data from closed
00:27:27circuit television and anything else found in
00:27:30Thessaloniki. Luckily, there were no victims when a car crashed
00:27:34into the tables and chairs of a meze restaurant in Evosmos,
00:27:37injuring three patrons, the driver who, according to the police, was
00:27:41under the influence, tried to escape, but was immobilized by
00:27:45the customers of the establishment. The moment of the crash was recorded by
00:27:49a camera.
00:27:54Video footage from security cameras records the moment
00:27:57when a car goes off course and
00:28:00crashes into the tables and chairs with...
00:28:05The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning on Agamemnon Street in Evosmos,
00:28:08Thessaloniki, when the driver of the car lost control,
00:28:12resulting in him crashing into the unsuspecting
00:28:15patrons.
00:28:20I saw a flash of lightning only and I see
00:28:24that a car is coming towards me, the table is gone.
00:28:27A panic.
00:28:30Fortunately, there were. Now
00:28:35I just hurt and I can't. The planters, otherwise we would all have been killed
00:28:38with the speed it was coming
00:28:42with the middle it had with all
00:28:44these
00:28:48scenes of panic followed as three people were injured
00:28:52while the store suffered minor damages. Three
00:28:55people, a gentleman suffered
00:28:57a fall. His doctor told him five
00:29:01days.
00:29:03Another gentleman hit again and he
00:29:07and a lady here hit her head.
00:29:10If the planters hadn't somehow held back the car,
00:29:13we would have had casualties, said the owner of the store.
00:29:17In fact, the police had been informed a little earlier that the
00:29:20specific car was making dangerous
00:29:23maneuvers. No one paid attention, no one
00:29:27cared, with the result that in the next 8 minutes
00:29:31this man came here. To be found in my shop, to hurt
00:29:34people, if it wasn't,
00:29:37the planters we would have had
00:29:38injuries,
00:29:42the driver reversed and tried to leave, but
00:29:45was stopped by the customers of the shop. The man was out
00:29:49of place and time and full of audacity,
00:29:53that is, he almost took so many people down with him, he
00:29:57started to leave and they stopped him, these children are
00:29:59public dangers, we all stopped him, we took from him.
00:30:03Police officers of the Thessaloniki Traffic Sub-directorate who
00:30:06arrived on the scene handcuffed the 45-year-old
00:30:10driver of the car. In an alcohol test that was performed on him,
00:30:13it was found that he was under the influence of alcohol and had even
00:30:16consumed alcohol considerably above the
00:30:19maximum permissible limit.
00:30:23In the night of Chios, a large operation by the port authority led to the
00:30:26discovery of a sailboat that was carrying 360
00:30:29kg of cannabis worth over 1 million euros. Vangelis
00:30:33Kokolakos has the information about a sailboat that was possibly
00:30:36carrying irregular migrants, the port authority of Chios initially informed
00:30:40Christina, but when the port authorities boarded it, they
00:30:44found the cargo of cannabis in a video released to the public. We see
00:30:47the armed port authorities approaching in the
00:30:50dark the sailboat flying the Croatian flag, boarding the vessel and immediately
