00:00:00informal, through which it points a finger at these
00:00:04amendments, as potentially
00:00:06unconstitutional. In fact, the proposals that
00:00:10have been made, namely,
00:00:13the inclusion of life partners in the declaration
00:00:16of assets and interests, are not found in the Civil
00:00:20Code. Mirabela Grădinaru appeared in several
00:00:23public actions alongside President Nicu Șordan and represented
00:00:27Romania at the White House at a summit organized by the First Lady
00:00:30of the United States, Melania Trump.
00:00:33The Integrity Law passed the Senate with a large majority, but not without
00:00:37political scandal. Amendments mutually supported by PSD and
00:00:41Aur, ignited the dispute between parliamentarians. One
00:00:44of them provides for the termination of the mandates of elected officials declared
00:00:47incompatible before the law comes into force. A provision that
00:00:51USR considers directed against the mayor
00:00:54of Timișoara, Dominic Fritz. USR has already announced that it will
00:00:57challenge the law at the Constitutional
00:00:59code weather today either, we have Court. Another amendment also obliges the life
00:01:02partners of dignitaries to submit declarations of assets
00:01:05and interests. The project was voted with 105 votes
00:01:09in favor, eight against and seven abstentions and must be published in the
00:01:12Official Gazette by the end of the month. The law is a milestone
00:01:16from the PNR, on which the access of 770
00:01:19million euros, non-reimbursable
00:01:21funds, depends.
00:01:25The Biodiversity Law was adopted in the Chamber of Deputies,
00:01:28but with amendments, so tomorrow, today, excuse me, the project
00:01:32returns to the Senate which will debate the updated form in
00:01:36urgent procedure. The law has caused disputes in parliament,
00:01:39USR says it voted for the project not to lose almost a billion
00:01:43euros from the PNR, but that the added amendments have significantly
00:01:46changed the content and could jeopardize the achievement
00:01:50of the milestones assumed by Romania. Aur voted
00:01:52against after arguing that the new provisions would affect farmers and
00:01:56infrastructure development projects.
00:02:11of heatwave and drought. Meteorologists warn that temperatures will
00:02:15rise again to 40° in the south and south
00:02:18east, and thermal discomfort will remain extremely high. Hydrologists
00:02:21continue to monitor the very low flows of the Danube and inland
00:02:25rivers, while authorities recommend avoiding travel during
00:02:29midday hours, staying hydrated and increased attention to the risk of vegetation
00:02:32fires which remains very high in many areas of the
00:02:35country. Thousands of young people are preparing for one of the biggest
00:02:39music events in Europe. Today Untold begins in Cluj
00:02:43Napoca, and authorities have mobilized additional police,
00:02:46gendarmerie, firefighters and medical teams. Organizers
00:02:49estimate hundreds of thousands of participants during the festival and
00:02:53recommend those arriving in the city to follow traffic restrictions,
00:02:56changes in public transport and special safety measures.
00:03:01Europe is following the security investigation launched by Germany after
00:03:04the discovery of a drone loaded with explosives near a Ukrainian
00:03:08cargo plane at Leipzig Halle Airport. The detonator
00:03:11did not work and authorities avoided a possible attack on one
00:03:15of the most important logistical hubs used for aid
00:03:18destined for Ukraine. And the migration crisis in Ceuta
00:03:22remains on the European agenda. The European Union is preparing
00:03:25financial and operational support for Spain. After tens of thousands
00:03:29of people were pushed towards the European enclave in North
00:03:32Africa through trafficking networks and false information spread
00:03:36online. And Japan marks 81 years since
00:03:40the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, at local time
00:03:438:15 AM at the moment of the explosion in
00:03:451945, a minute of silence will be observed at a ceremony
00:03:49attended by approximately 9200 residents.
00:03:52This year's commemoration has a special
00:03:56political significance in a world where nuclear threats have returned to the
00:03:59discourse of major powers, and conflicts in the Middle East
00:04:03and Ukraine are once again putting pressure on global
00:04:05security.
00:04:137 million Literally fiery days for the firefighters
00:04:16from Mehedinți, who intervened yesterday afternoon and
00:04:19last night at two dry vegetation fires that burned over
00:04:23100 hectares in two localities. At temperatures over
00:04:2737°, the military fought flames that exceeded
00:04:30even 4 meters in height, due to the heat, dry
00:04:34vegetation and gusts of wind in some situations. The fire was
00:04:37intentionally set with the purpose of destroying dry
00:04:41vegetation. High temperatures, which
00:04:45exceeded 37°, dry vegetation and strong
00:04:49winds hampered the mission of the firefighters who intervened to
00:04:52extinguish the fire and people tried to stop the advance of the flames
00:04:56by digging ditches with shovels. One of the critical situations was in...
00:05:00one Malovăț, we find ourselves with the fire and now it's from
00:05:03the valley, it comes from the forest it enters the village here, it's approaching
00:05:06the village, close, what else to say, now go
00:05:09you guys, it enters the village from that valley. "The fire
00:05:13was extinguished, I've been extinguishing for half a day
00:05:17since last night, the fire, from yesterday and
00:05:20I'm extinguishing it with this shovel
00:05:23until, look at my eyes, smoke gets in my eyes, I don't even
00:05:27know anymore, the firefighters initially intervened with two fire trucks and
00:05:31requested additional support after very large
00:05:34flames approached two houses, about
00:05:37300 hectares of dry vegetation and stubble and about 60 hectares of
00:05:41litter from the willow forest were burning." "We localized it towards
00:05:44Bibăn village, it was necessary to request another fire truck, the fire
00:05:47spreading on all sides
00:05:51of these two localities. The fire at this moment is
00:05:54localized, we are working on extinguishing it, but at this moment
00:05:57the situation is. The second intervention was in the commune
00:06:00of Devesel, where on an area of about 50 hectares, dry
00:06:04vegetation and acacia forest burned.
00:06:08We are not escaping the red
00:06:12a... already a suffocating morning
00:06:15over 25 26° at this
00:06:18hour in many areas of the country. I was telling you in the
00:06:21coming hours, the heatwave remains present,
00:06:24but maybe, maybe the rains are coming. Dana
00:06:44that for Saturday I have somewhat better news,
00:06:47in the sense that temperatures will drop a little, not significantly, there will also be
00:06:51some rain towards evening, indeed, but in the form of
00:06:55a storm and isolated, possibly
00:06:58hail. Let's see what's happening. Today, the heatwave
00:07:01persists, maximums will reach 33° on the coast
00:07:05and up to 41° in the western
00:07:08plain. The sky will be clear throughout the day, but in the afternoon
00:07:12and evening, instability will increase in mountainous
00:07:16and sub-mountainous areas, then in the west, center and north. There will be
00:07:19showers, electrical discharges, storms and isolated hail.
00:07:23And in the capital, we expect
00:07:27another scorching day, and thermal discomfort will be
00:07:30high, especially at lunchtime. Maximums reach
00:07:3438° in the shade, possibly
00:07:37a few passing
00:13:32Almost one in six Romanians starts their day or ends
00:13:35their day with a cigarette, an electronic cigarette or another nicotine
00:13:38product. New Eurostat data shows that
00:13:4117.6% of Romanians over 16
00:13:45years old consume such products daily, although the percentage
00:13:48is slightly lower than three years ago, Romania remains above the European
00:13:52Union average which is around 16.5%. The most
00:13:55affected category is not the elderly, but adults in full professional
00:13:59activity, between 35 and
00:14:0249 years old. In the European Union, the highest
00:14:05percentages are recorded in Bulgaria, 26.3%,
00:14:09Sweden, 23.9% and Croatia
00:14:1223.6%. While at the opposite pole we see
00:14:16the Netherlands with 9.9%. Ireland with
00:14:1911.7% and Belgium with
00:14:2213.6%. Romania.
00:14:2618.6% above the European average, even if it has dropped slightly from 17.9 in
00:14:302022. The impact, however, is much greater than
00:14:33it seems. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco kills over
00:14:38people every year worldwide, and in Europe
00:14:42approximately 1.1 million people die from
00:14:45tobacco consumption or exposure to cigarette smoke. Smoking is
00:14:49responsible for a large part of lung cancer cases, cardiovascular
00:14:52diseases and chronic respiratory diseases. Specialists warn
00:14:56that the phenomenon is changing, it is no longer just
00:14:59about classic cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, heated tobacco products
00:15:03and nicotine pouches are gaining ground, especially among
00:15:06young people. Nicotine, however, remains the same addictive substance,
00:15:10regardless of the form in which it is consumed. Doctors say that
00:15:13the effects of quitting appear surprisingly quickly, blood pressure starts to
00:15:17drop in just 20 minutes, and after one year the risk of heart disease
00:15:21is reduced by almost half. The conclusion of the report
00:15:24is simple. Romania is making progress, but still smokes more than the European
00:15:27average, and the cost is paid not only in money, but especially
00:15:31in lost years
00:15:32of life.
00:15:43Hundreds of residents of Slobozia protested in front of the prefecture and
00:15:47indignantly demanded clean air and potable water in the network.
00:15:51People have reached the limit of their patience due to the pestilential smell that
00:15:55poisons them drop by drop. They all point a finger at
00:15:58the company that manages the wastewater in the city.
00:16:01The inability of local authorities to provide them with clean, breathable
00:16:05air is what brought people
00:16:08out into the streets. At dusk, a heavy smell enters their
00:16:11homes. Effectively, not even with the windows and doors
00:16:15closed, could one stay in the house. We live in a very
00:16:19polluted city. It is, it is terrible
00:16:23not to be able to breathe. What does it smell
00:16:26like? Effectively, something toxic. The fact is that since
00:16:292024 they have destroyed us and in
00:16:322026 they have effectively gassed us.
00:16:36For five years. We can't sleep at night. Also, people
00:16:39are protesting about the water that is paid
00:16:42for as potable water. In reality, no one in this city
00:16:46consumes tap water. The company that
00:16:49manages the wastewater in Slobozia, Urbane SA, which is subordinated
00:16:53to the County Council, is one of the polluters, say
00:16:56the protesters. Representatives of the Ialomița Environmental
00:16:59Guard say that ammonia nitrogen enters
00:17:02the wastewater treatment plant with a concentration of 80
00:17:06milligrams. and paradoxically exits with a concentration
00:17:09of 90 milligrams per liter, a concentration that
00:17:13goes into the Ialomița River and is 45 times higher
00:17:16than the maximum permissible limits. The odors from the plant
00:17:19due to the malfunctioning of the treatment plant, the exceedances are
00:17:23fantastically large, for hydrogen sulfide, but
00:17:27the exceedances are extremely large, in the case that we find that not all
00:17:31measures have been implemented, we will issue a new notification
00:17:34for the suspension of the environmental permit. After numerous fines and
00:17:38criminal complaints from the Environmental Guard and Romanian Waters, the company still
00:17:41operates with the same deficiencies. A solution, from my point
00:17:44of view, and it is a medium or long-term one, would be for the County
00:17:48Council and Slobozia City Hall to invest as much money as possible
00:17:52in this wastewater treatment plant. They receive fines of tens of thousands
00:17:55of euros every month, I don't think we're solving the problem. Last
00:17:59month, the commissioners of the National Environmental Guard measured air quality and
00:18:02found extremely high exceedances of the hydrogen sulfide concentration in
00:18:06the atmosphere. This is also the reason why they filed a criminal complaint against
00:18:10the director of the company, who is now under judicial
00:18:13control. Emotions continue for teachers, even
00:18:17after the tenure exam, the number of those who passed is three
00:18:21times higher than the number of vacant positions for
00:18:24permanent employment. There are situations where
00:18:27even the maximum grade does not guarantee a position, especially in large
00:18:31cities. Ionuț Bolocan is a history
00:18:34teacher, he got a 970 grade on the
00:18:38tenure exam, but he doesn't have high hopes of getting a permanent position in
00:18:41Iași, unfortunately there are no tenured
00:18:43positions, there are only two positions
00:18:47in private high schools, therefore, currently
00:18:51there are no very high hopes, just over 6000
00:18:54positions are vacant in education this year and there are almost three times as many
00:18:58teachers who have met the conditions to occupy a permanent
00:19:01position, teachers are willing to commute
00:19:05just to have a place to teach. For what subject? For English
00:19:09language. What grade did you get on the exam?
00:19:119.15. Do you have a choice, are there
00:19:14positions? Uh, quite few. Will you accept a
00:19:17position that is outside your home
00:19:21locality? Yes, yes. Are you willing to
00:19:24commute? Sure, yes. My goal is to do
00:19:28my job, anywhere, it doesn't matter. No, we take
00:19:32what comes, what is there. For what subject. Music, music, musical
00:19:35education. This is the first year that.
00:19:37I will teach, I hope to get a position
00:19:40as good as possible. Last year, 3000 more
00:19:44positions were offered for competition. The measures adopted by the executive
00:19:47to supplement each teacher's norm with two more hours and to reorganize
00:19:51schools in rural areas have led to a reduction in the number of available
00:19:55places in education. We have indeed more
00:19:58candidates for educators and teachers, the number of
00:20:02tenured positions is not very high, but
00:20:05we have many positions for substitution. We also have subjects where
00:20:09we have only one tenured position:
00:20:12chemistry, physics, mechanics, teacher,
00:20:15educator, accompaniment, musical
00:20:18education. Just over half of the teachers who took
00:20:22the tenure exams this year scored over seven,
00:20:26and 2000 submitted
00:20:27blank pages.
00:20:30Romanians are buying more and more often from Temu, Shein or Aliexpress, but
00:20:34not just clothes, what products they order predominantly, I'll tell you after a short
00:20:38break here at the Morning News, stay with
00:20:41us.
00:22:56After the bus overturned,
00:22:59there was a minute of silence, nothing was heard at
00:23:02all, there were only broken
00:23:04windows, I see my
00:23:07sister and I also see a hand, I
00:23:11prayed to God that it wasn't her hand, I touched her
00:23:14here, if I'm not mistaken and then I realized that
00:23:18that was her arm.
00:23:23My colleague's phone announced that
00:23:26there had been a mass accident, a group of children who were
00:23:29traveling to a festival, one of them
00:23:32was very seriously injured, basically both upper
00:23:36limbs were amputated in a fraction of a second,
00:23:39I have no idea about the impact, I only heard about it
00:23:43and whenever I hear about it, I feel like it's from a different
00:23:46movie, a different person was there, not me, I didn't know if...
00:23:52she would put her arm back, I just took it, it was just a part
00:23:55of Alexia and I didn't want to leave it behind, she told me she was very tired and wanted to go to
00:23:59sleep, they told her not to fall asleep under any
00:24:02circumstances and I was knocking somehow on the ambulance
00:24:05door so she wouldn't fall asleep.
00:24:24Our only thought, mine certainly and I am
00:24:27convinced that of all my colleagues, was to
00:24:31try the impossible, to re-implant
00:24:34both hands, not just so she could have them, but also so she could
00:24:37use them. For each
00:24:40of us I think, for me, with certainty, the operation lasted a
00:24:44fraction of a second,
00:24:46in real time it was around 20
00:24:50hours, she only took a sip of water in those 20 hours and
00:24:53she stayed attentive there for me, a
00:24:57person she knew, it shows how
00:25:00big her heart is, the doctor
00:25:03waited at 12 at night alone in the hospital
00:25:07hall downstairs to tell me everything she did for my child in the operating room
00:25:11for 20 hours with her team. The girl first
00:25:14asked us where her parents were, and
00:25:18the next phrase was: "thank you for operating".
00:25:40to put on a shirt or a blouse, it's harder, so I need
00:25:44my mom, same with doing my hair, but I've also
00:25:47evolved, so I can eat, I can brush my teeth
00:25:51now, which is a very big achievement for me, I had moments when
00:25:55I thought wow,
00:25:58why, why did God want me to go through this and
00:26:01I would vent. I would cry until I couldn't anymore and the next
00:26:05day back to recovery, every night when I pray to God, I pray for
00:26:08him to be with me on this whole journey and
00:26:12to be able to move my hands like before, maybe even better,
00:26:16that's exactly what I tell him every night.
00:26:43Beyond the Dniester, the truth is often only
00:26:46whispered. The lives of people are severely
00:26:49tested by fear, uncertainty and
00:26:51compromise. Week after week. Ion
00:26:55Manole opens the files of a region where
00:26:58people's rights, freedoms and safety are severely affected.

00:27:13Captivating stories are the most real, without
00:27:17special effects, without makeup, without
00:27:20virtual scenery. You have an authentic

00:27:27unexpected resolutions. For them,
