00:00:16Good afternoon and welcome to the news. With the Danube's flow at a historic low of
00:00:191400 m3/ second, with scorching temperatures across the
00:00:23country and increasing energy consumption in the evening hours,
00:00:26authorities are renewing their appeal to the public, companies and
00:00:30institutions, urging
00:00:32first day of the festival, which everyone to save at least until the end
00:00:35of the month, as long as the state of alert is in effect. Other countries are also taking measures to reduce consumption.
00:00:39Details will follow immediately after other headlines
00:00:42of the
00:00:45edition. In the midst of the heatwave, storms are taking over Romania. Meteorologists
00:00:48have maintained a red code in the west of the country, but have also issued warnings of
00:00:52accentuated atmospheric
00:00:53instability.
00:00:57Extensive investigation in Germany after a security incident at
00:01:01Leipzig airport where an explosive drone was discovered, and
00:01:04accusations point to
00:01:25on the scorching temperatures, and on the national energy
00:01:28system. It puts pressure on production units due to
00:01:32high consumption during this period, the government will oblige
00:01:36companies that use large amounts of electricity to
00:01:39limit their activity. This is a reserve mechanism discussed in today's
00:01:43meeting, which targets approximately 80 large
00:01:46consumers. My colleague Vlad Ung has more information. Vlad, nice to
00:01:50meet you. What exactly do the new
00:01:52rules stipulate? Nice to meet you. The decision adopted by the government
00:01:56today provides for nine scenarios that may present
00:01:59a risk to Romania's energy security, meaning those
00:02:03cases in which the executive can request and impose
00:02:06consumption limits on large industrial companies, and
00:02:10here we are talking about cyber attacks, military
00:02:13conflict, scorching weather that
00:02:17can lead to drought, or risks arising from
00:02:20extremely severe winters with low
00:02:23temperatures over a longer period than a
00:02:26week. In these situations, the government can... a
00:02:30list from the Ministry of Energy with those companies that have a high
00:02:34electricity consumption, and through a notification sent
00:02:3724 hours in advance, it can impose a reduction in
00:02:41electricity consumption for all these
00:02:44companies, but only if the situation demands it. The fact that
00:02:48this decision was adopted today does not mean that this
00:02:51measure will necessarily be taken by the government in the coming
00:02:55weeks. It is also important to mention that another government
00:02:59decision will be needed to establish clear
00:03:02rules after today's decision, and it is very
00:03:06important that Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan will
00:03:09explain how these rules will be applied, because
00:03:13trade union representatives told TVR that they would like that if
00:03:17this rule is applied and a factory closes because it will no longer be
00:03:20supplied with electricity, there will be a need for those employees to enter
00:03:24technical unemployment and to receive monthly
00:03:27flow at the Cernavodă 75% of their salary.
00:03:36Vlad, thank you. Romania approached a new summer record for energy consumption last night. Real-time data
00:03:40recorded by Transelectrica shows that at 9:19 PM,
00:03:43it reached a critical level of
00:03:47over 7730 MW, one of
00:03:51the highest this season. The difference between demand
00:03:54and production exceeded 2300 MW and was covered by
00:03:58imports, which accounted for approximately 30% of the
00:04:02country's needs. The Ministry of Energy is launching a new appeal to the
00:04:05population, companies, and institutions to save energy between
00:04:097 PM and 11 PM, at least until the end of the month, while
00:04:12we are in an energy alert state. Even if people manage to save, they
00:04:16will feel the energy crisis in their bills, as the prices
00:04:20set in ongoing contracts expire, specialists
00:04:23warn.
00:04:27The capital is saving energy after the government declared a
00:04:31national state of alert. The Bucharest City Hall has implemented a
00:04:34plan to reduce consumption. Since last night,
00:04:38public lighting on the streets and in parks administered by the
00:04:40municipality operates at a reduced intensity to limit
00:04:44consumption during peak hours.
00:04:4725 measures to reduce energy consumption have been
00:04:51adopted by the City Hall. These will be applied throughout
00:04:55August to reduce pressure on the national energy
00:04:58system, especially during the peak consumption period in the
00:05:01evening. One of the measures taken by the General City Hall
00:05:05of the Capital is to reduce public lighting in the parks under its
00:05:09administration by 30%. And where
00:05:11it is not allowed, even with the total shutdown of
00:05:14public lighting. Along with the City Hall of Bucharest, the
00:05:18City Hall of Sector 6 also decided to reduce the light
00:05:21intensity by 50% in parks and children's
00:05:25playgrounds. Energy consumption will also be reduced by
00:05:28abandoning the architectural lighting of the City Hall's headquarters
00:05:31and subordinate institutions, including
00:05:35museums. Bucharest residents say that the measures are welcome, although many
00:05:38state that they have not noticed a difference in terms of park lighting. I
00:05:42think it's fine, I don't have a problem with that, but
00:05:46no, you haven't felt the intensity at all, I haven't felt the difference, honestly, I haven't looked, usually the light is not very strong in
00:05:50Cismigiu, we go out, we walk, we try to stay outside more, and
00:05:54at home, well, the fact that I'm not home means everything is off, both lights and
00:05:57air conditioning, it should be less anyway, because it's not needed in the park with such intensity, but
00:06:01haven't you noticed anything changed tonight, no, not at all yet,
00:06:05no, at home do you take any measures to reduce
00:06:08consumption? this energy, yes, I always take measures because I
00:06:11don't like strong light. Energy saving measures will
00:06:15also be applied to the company that manages public transport in
00:06:19Bucharest. Electric buses will no longer be charged during the
00:06:22critical interval between 7:30 PM and
00:06:2611 PM. The municipal company Termoenergetica will also stop
00:06:28non-essential lighting and will limit the operation of hot
00:06:32water pressure booster pumps. We also have
00:06:36public institutions where no measures have been taken. For
00:06:39example, the House of the People, one
00:06:43of the large consumers of electricity, where
00:06:46architectural lighting is not turned off. Currently,
00:06:50the daily electricity consumption in Bucharest is
00:06:53approximately 1000 MW. The reductions and
00:06:56proposed measures are good, I can't say they
00:06:59don't help, but they don't have a significant impact. It is more
00:07:02of an example than with
00:07:05obvious effects and that actually
00:07:09help. The operators of illuminated
00:07:12advertising panels who have contracts with the capital's city hall say they will respect
00:07:15the measures imposed by the municipality. However,
00:07:18last night, the panels in Bucharest's major intersections were still
00:07:22lit.
00:07:24Meanwhile, at the entrance to Romania, the Danube's flow reached 1400 cubic
00:07:28meters per second, just like in 1985, when it
00:07:31recorded a historic low. The situation puts pressure
00:07:34on specialists who are trying to secure the necessary water for Reactor 2 at
00:07:38Cernavodă. In the Bala branch area, the countdown has begun
00:07:42for with stone that should
00:07:46raise the level on the old Danube. Alexandru Costache is there and brings
00:07:49new information. Alexandru, good day, we
00:07:51are listening.
00:07:54Good day everyone. The operation to sink the first barge
00:07:58will begin in less than an hour. The loading of the last
00:08:01last barge was completed somewhere
00:08:05behind me, where Pârjoaia Rock is also
00:08:08located. All four barges will be sunk in a controlled manner
00:08:12somewhere in this area where there is a
00:08:16green buoy, our colleague is showing you now.
00:08:19In fact, in the images you can see the barges
00:08:23brought from Galati, which will be sunk in a
00:08:26controlled manner. The mission is intended
00:08:29to direct water from the
00:08:33Bala branch towards the main branch of the Danube or the Old
00:08:36Danube, so that the
00:08:40nuclear power plant increases. The intervention
00:08:43Monday detonated
00:08:45the Pârjoaia rock that was preventing water from flowing to
00:08:49the main arm of the Danube, and everything is happening against
00:08:52the background of an extremely low Danube flow at the country's entrance,
00:08:56almost at the historical minimum of 1400 cubic meters per
00:09:00second, which was only recorded again in
00:09:021985.
00:09:05The stakes of the intervention are significant:
00:09:08raising the water level at the Cernavodă nuclear power plant so that
00:09:12unit number 2 can continue to operate, given that unit number 1 was
00:09:15shut down on July 28. If unit
00:09:18number 2 also shut down, then Romania
00:09:22would lose its entire nuclear energy production of
00:09:261400 MW, which represents
00:09:29the equivalent of one fifth of Romania's
00:09:32total energy production, which would
00:09:35mean that our country would have to import
00:09:39additional energy at very high prices, and the
00:09:42prices on the spot market in Romania are
00:09:45today 183
00:09:49euros.
00:09:50So, as you can see, the stakes are
00:09:53very high, and the situation is aggravated by the heatwave,
00:09:57this week a peak consumption of 7800
00:10:01MW is estimated, and in the critical evening hours,
00:10:04if energy production drops to 4000, 4300
00:10:08MW, it means that Romania will be forced to
00:10:11import 3000 to 3500 MW at very high
00:10:15prices, as I was telling you. Well, all these
00:10:19operations I was talking about, the detonation of Pârjoaia
00:10:22rock and the dredging of the Danube,
00:10:26the sinking of the four barges could raise the water
00:10:29level at Cernavodă by 10-12
00:10:33cm. Therefore, there is a huge energy stake in
00:10:36raising the water level so that the Cernavodă unit can continue
00:10:40to operate. Alex, thank you. Moreover, in several
00:10:43European countries, authorities are appealing to citizens to be careful about their
00:10:47electricity consumption and to save whenever they can, so that there is no need for
00:10:51rationing. Energy production.
00:11:25of the Danube, the Paks nuclear power plant has reduced, temporarily stopped
00:11:28production. The government has appealed to the population to save energy between
00:11:325 PM and 10 PM, including by limiting the use of air
00:11:36conditioning and by limiting the charging of electric
00:11:38vehicles. Budapest has announced that if the situation worsens, it will
00:11:42introduce rationing for large industrial consumers.
00:11:46Measures such as turning off decorative lighting and reducing
00:11:49some railway transports have already been taken. In Croatia, there is a red heatwave
00:11:53alert, and river levels are at historic lows. Smaller
00:11:57rivers such as Orleava and Plitvica are almost dry. Rivers that
00:12:01could be noted now only have centimeters.
00:12:04I am one of the swimmers who has been swimming here for years, and I don't
00:12:08remember the Drava ever being so low and so warm.
00:12:11We measured the temperature
00:12:13at 28°C, and here by the boats, you simply can't even
00:12:17swim because the current is only about 15 cm deep. Fishermen say they haven't
00:12:21seen the Danube so low in 40 years. Transport.
00:12:27So, there is no navigability at all, all barges are anchored,
00:12:31either in ports or outside the areas. Bulgaria
00:12:34keeps the Kozloduy nuclear power plant operational, despite record
00:12:38Danube levels, but only for a few weeks if nothing
00:12:42changes. The complex produces 2/3 of the national requirement.
00:12:45In addition, Bulgaria has invested massively in batteries, including for
00:12:49storing energy produced by prosumers, households and
00:12:52companies that have photovoltaic panels and basically
00:12:55feed more current into the grid than they consume.
00:12:59The process in which Călin Georgescu was indicted for attempted
00:13:03coup d'état can begin on the merits. The Supreme Court rejected
00:13:06the appeals of Georgescu and the other defendants in the case, including
00:13:10the mercenary Horațiu Potra. However, it is not the only case
00:13:13of the former presidential candidate. Călin Georgescu was also
00:13:17indicted in a second case in which he is accused of Legionary propaganda and of promoting
00:13:20persons guilty of genocide and war
00:13:24crimes. In April, Georgescu, I remind you, finally
00:13:27escaped judicial control more than a year after the implementation of this
00:13:31preventive measure.
00:13:35The heat is suffocating the west of the country, but it is gradually starting to overlap with
00:13:39storms. Meteorologists have issued a red heatwave code valid until tomorrow
00:13:43morning at 10 AM for the western and northwestern counties, where temperatures
00:13:47will be up to 41°C.
00:13:49Tomorrow we have heatwave codes in the west of the country, in the south and in the east.
00:13:53In the meantime, storms are also coming, mainly in the north and
00:13:57center of the country and in the south of the country, regions targeted by an
00:14:00orange code for atmospheric instability. For the rest
00:14:04of the country, with the exception of Dobrogea, a yellow code for storms
00:14:07has been issued. Tomorrow, almost the entire country, with the exception of the southeastern area, is under
00:14:11a yellow code for atmospheric instability, storms and
00:14:13downpours. We remain under the
00:14:17influence of the heatwave during this afternoon,
00:14:20especially in the counties under
00:14:23a red code, we expect
00:14:26very high temperatures, temperatures
00:14:29comparable to the absolute records for August
00:14:33in the west and northwest of the country, where
00:14:37as early as yesterday afternoon, 40,
00:14:4041 degrees in the shade were recorded,
00:14:44we expect 40, 41 degrees again, we are also talking about
00:14:48atmospheric instability today, it has been missing in recent
00:14:51days, but we count more, especially in low areas. and in
00:14:55counties under an orange code, counties in the
00:14:58southwest, center and north, northeast of the territory
00:15:01for wind intensifications, strong
00:15:05gusts that will even reach around 90
00:15:08km/h and at the same time there will also
00:15:11be storms.
00:15:13Climate change is being felt more and more strongly in Romania. A study
00:15:17conducted by a group of experts shows that in large cities such as Cluj Napoca,
00:15:20temperatures are rising faster than initial estimates indicated.
00:15:24The current infrastructure and measures taken so far by authorities are
00:15:28no longer sufficient to cope with extreme heat waves and torrential
00:15:32rain episodes. We are reaching, in the central
00:15:35area of Cluj, a very high risk, and the same applies to
00:15:39Florești. Red on the map means that the city is getting hotter and
00:15:42poorer more and more. For experts studying changes,
00:15:46there is evidence that in large cities, such as Cluj Napoca, extreme heat
00:15:50waves are much longer and more frequent. The values
00:15:54estimated by climate models 20 years ago are actually
00:15:57lower than what we have in reality. They underestimated the reality,
00:16:01it is even more severe. And episodes of torrential rain have
00:16:04become increasingly devastating, the study by the Cluj
00:16:08Metropolitan Area Association, in collaboration with Babeș-Bolyai University
00:16:11and European experts, shows. Limited construction
00:16:15in large urban agglomerations and tree planting should be
00:16:18constant concerns, as should replacing asphalt.
00:16:22The creation of sponge parks, like the railway
00:16:25park, for example, where the designers started
00:16:28from the very beginning with the idea of draining, in
00:16:32case of rapid floods, draining the excess
00:16:35water through a system
00:16:38of discharge towards the lakes in the park, planting trees and generally
00:16:42trees with wide crowns is the best, the
00:16:45best measure, these measures in which we no longer have continuous
00:16:49asphalt and we have this paving in
00:16:52slabs, facilitate water infiltration. At
00:16:55the national level, problems will be increasing over the next 10 years,
00:16:59climatologists warn. The biggest problem are these heat
00:17:03waves that will be even more intense than now, with a higher
00:17:06frequency. They will be interrupted by periods of
00:17:09stronger instabilities than now, water will not have time to
00:17:13infiltrate the soil, hence big problems, even bigger
00:17:17problems in the city. A new study conducted by the Cluj Metropolitan Area and
00:17:20funded by European money will show what measures Romania can take
00:17:24to limit the effects of climate change.
00:17:28The High Court of Cassation and Justice should settle the war between
00:17:32justice and the government today. Magistrates demanded that the executive
00:17:35be obliged to pay over 5.
00:17:38billion lei, outstanding money earned through lawsuits. My colleague Liliana Năstase
00:17:41has all the details. Liliana, nice to meet you. How did it come to this
00:17:45situation?
00:17:48Good to find you. It all started when the Romanian budget was
00:17:51drafted this year, and
00:17:54lawmakers decided that the
00:17:57one billion euros, 5.2 billion
00:18:01lei, needed to pay
00:18:04outstanding amounts to magistrates, should go to social
00:18:08assistance. At that moment, the High Court of Cassation and
00:18:11Justice, through its president Lia Savonea, decided to challenge
00:18:15this decision in court, specifically at the Bucharest Court
00:18:18of Appeal, which in a record time of less than a month, ruled
00:18:22that the executive must immediately pay the money, and even
00:18:26set a maximum deadline of 10 days from the final
00:18:29decision to return the money to
00:18:33the magistrates. Subsequently, the government
00:18:36attacked this decision at the High Court of
00:18:40Cassation and Justice, which had initiated the action in
00:18:43court, and in a single term
00:18:47the government's complaint was heard,
00:18:49all requests were rejected, including the one
00:18:52to send the file to the European Court of
00:18:56Justice, and it remained for pronouncement, but the pronouncement
00:19:00has already been postponed twice, and today, from moment to moment, the High
00:19:03Court of Cassation and Justice will have to say whether it will set a new
00:19:07deadline for pronouncement or if it will render
00:19:11a decision that will be final and enforceable, and if the decision
00:19:15from the Bucharest Court of Appeal remains, the government will be
00:19:18obliged within a maximum of 10 days to give
00:19:225.2 billion RON into
00:19:25the magistrates' accounts. Meanwhile, a decision is also expected
00:19:28from the Constitutional Court, which analyzed a complaint filed by
00:19:31interim prime minister Ilie Bolojan. This complaint
00:19:34was analyzed, but the court considered that it could
00:19:38only rule at the end of
00:19:41September. Liliana, thank
00:19:44you. Consultations resume at Cotroceni
00:19:48Palace on the salary law. The presidential
00:19:51adviser on economic issues, Radu Burnete, is starting discussions
00:19:54right now with representatives of the parties that formed the governing
00:19:57coalition: PSD, PNL, USR, and UDMR. The meeting comes after, at the beginning
00:20:01of the week, the representative of the presidential administration met with the leaders
00:20:05of the trade unions in the healthcare system. Sanitas
00:20:08then stated that it would not accept any law that
00:20:12generates income losses for employees in health and social
00:20:15assistance. And healthcare solidarity also demanded guarantees that wage
00:20:18incomes would increase upon the entry into force of the new
00:20:22law. My colleague Alina Sorocean
00:20:25has more information
00:20:28on this topic. Alina, nice to meet you. What new things could
00:20:32today's meeting at Cotroceni Palace bring?
00:20:35Hello. After this technical
00:20:40meeting, we will see if an agreement will be reached regarding the
00:20:43unitary salary law, a law that should be adopted by the end of this
00:20:47month to fulfill the PNRR and not
00:20:51lose European money. We are talking
00:20:54about a law that has sparked a lot of controversy and
00:20:57discontent, misunderstandings between the leaders of the political parties that have been
00:21:00in government until now, between PSD, PNL, USR, and UDMR. Well,
00:21:04today, representatives of these parties came here to
00:21:07Cotroceni Palace, they are not the leaders, they are not the presidents of these
00:21:11parties, but they are representatives who are effectively dealing with and
00:21:14working effectively on this unitary salary law. There are many
00:21:18topics to debate. what happens with that bonus for
00:21:22class masters in education because that bonus in the new
00:21:25salary law is 400 RON in the context in which at the
00:21:29moment a class master
00:21:31receives 10% of their salary for
00:21:35this position. There are also
00:21:37dissatisfactions from the healthcare trade unions, but also from
00:21:41all other sectors because all trade unions have shown that once
00:21:45the new law is applied, they could wake up with much lower
00:21:49incomes, and so in this situation, the trade unions have asked
00:21:52those from PSD and AUR not to vote for this law. Social Democrats
00:21:56say they don't believe that a consensus will be reached, given
00:22:00that a lot of funds are needed to meet all
00:22:03these requirements.
00:22:07Thank you, Alina. A new level of danger, that's how German
00:22:10authorities categorize the explosive drone incident discovered last night
00:22:14at Leipzig airport, one of the largest logistics centers for
00:22:18cargo transport in Europe. The incident is treated as a
00:22:22terrorist one. The North Atlantic Alliance has been informed about
00:22:25the incident, and the investigation launched leads to
00:22:27Moscow.
00:22:29The drone was discovered by an airport
00:22:31employee in the security area of the southern runway, near a
00:22:35Ukrainian cargo plane. According to authorities, during
00:22:38takeoff, the cargo plane collided with an
00:22:42unknown flying object near the
00:22:44airport. All flights were temporarily
00:22:48suspended. The southern runway was.
00:22:50nach Identifikation der Drohne und der
00:22:54Vermutung, dass es sich um eine Sprengstoffladung
00:22:57handeln könnte, wurde die
00:23:00Polizei, die Bundespolizei, die Landespolizei, die
00:23:04Bundespolizei, die Entschergruppe der Bundespolizei
00:23:06in Bereitschaft,
00:23:08Einsatzbereitschaft gesetzt und
00:23:12hat auch dann die Entschärfung dieser
00:23:15Sprengladung vorgenommen.
00:23:20Only because the detonator was faulty, the German interior minister
00:23:23convened an emergency meeting with all heads of
00:23:26security services. Es ist

00:23:34Drohnensichtungen, Drohnenbedrohungen,
00:23:38auch im hybriden Zusammenhang, das kennen wir aus der
00:23:42Vergangenheit, dass seine Drohne

00:23:48sich hier auf einem Orice
00:23:50runway regarding the origin of the drone and who was
00:23:59behind the operation remains open. The Ukrainian diplomatic
00:24:02representative in Berlin blamed Moscow.
00:24:06German airports are on high alert after a series of unauthorized
00:24:10drone overflights in areas such as military
00:24:13installations, energy terminals, and logistics
00:24:16companies. Leipzig Airport is a transport hub of
00:24:20major importance, including for military aid deliveries to
00:24:24Ukraine.
00:24:26Russia says it hit Ukrainian commercial vessels in the Black Sea last night
00:24:30near Odessa. Such attacks have increased massively and are already
00:24:33causing problems in the agricultural market. international. Ukraine recorded
00:24:37more than twice as many raids against its ships
00:24:40and port facilities last month. Russia denounced the grain
00:24:44agreement with Ukraine three years ago. Entire countries in Africa
00:24:47and the Middle East depend on these exports. And while
00:24:51Moscow claims to only attack Ukrainian military targets,
00:24:54at least six civilians were killed and 19 injured last
00:24:58night in eastern Ukraine, following drone, rocket and guided bomb
00:25:02attacks. The regions of Kharkiv, Sumy and Kherson were targeted
00:25:05one day after one of the bloodiest attacks on Kyiv in recent
00:25:08months.
00:27:14methodology elaborated by specialists from the country and abroad.
00:27:17The National Museum of History states that the entire process
00:27:21can also be followed on a special website. For now, museum curators,
00:27:25restorers, physicists and other specialists have analyzed the
00:27:28materials and techniques used in the making
00:27:31of the helmet and the modifications it has undergone. Everything
00:27:35was done with state-of-the-art equipment. The helmet from Coțofenești
00:27:38was damaged after it was stolen last year from a museum in
00:27:42the Netherlands, along with three Dacian bracelets. Two of the bracelets
00:27:46were also
00:27:46recovered.
00:27:50Talking on the phone on speaker, disturbing passengers on the bus
00:27:54or subway, could become history. Representatives of public
00:27:58transport companies in the capital intend to apply sanctions.
00:28:01In the coming period, they will... run information campaigns,
00:28:05controls and finally also apply fines to those
00:28:07caught in the act.
00:28:12Such people who do not respect the peace of mind of passengers
00:28:16could receive stinging fines in the future.
00:28:19The legislation is lenient in such situations,
00:28:23they should be held accountable. I don't like it when they talk
00:28:27on the phone, everyone can hear what they are saying, it's not
00:28:30civilized if you tell them they are. The Bucharest Transport Company
00:28:34announced that people who talk on the phone on speaker,
00:28:37listen to music without headphones or watch
00:28:40videos with sound on buses,
00:28:43trams and trolleybuses could be fined.
00:28:46The Metrorex management also announced that it will broadcast
00:28:49audio messages during journeys asking passengers to keep
00:28:53quiet. The authorities' reaction came after a petition launched
00:28:57by journalist Georgiana Mihalcea, the mother of a young
00:29:00man with autism. David, who suffers a lot because of these
00:29:03sonic stimuli. David used to tell me,
00:29:07mom, the sounds hurt. So, effectively,
00:29:09for the brain of a neurodivergent person, this is an aggression.
00:29:13Just as a dog would bite us, for him it can effectively
00:29:16be bitten by an intense sound, a loud sound, an uncontrolled
00:29:19laugh, stories because people simply tell how they went
00:29:23to the doctor, how they went for a check-up, how they went and
00:29:27we get overwhelmed without wanting to. Doctors say that while
00:29:30for many it is just a discomfort, for others, however, young children,
00:29:34elderly people, people with migraines, anxiety or sensory processing
00:29:37disorders, including autistic people, noises can become
00:29:41overwhelming. The real problem arises in the case of patients
00:29:44with certain chronic pathologies in the psychological and psychiatric
00:29:48sphere, such as chronic fatigue,
00:29:51autism, acute chronic depression,
00:29:54when both the intensity of the voice
00:29:58and the messages transmitted during a conversation
00:30:01can exacerbate or trigger acute
00:30:04episodes. Representatives of STB and Metrorex
00:30:07informed us that they are currently working on new rules
00:30:11that will regulate talking on the phone in public transport. These are expected
00:30:14to come into force in the near future.
00:30:18Although there are no national laws, in some European
00:30:21countries such as France, Poland, Great Britain or Portugal.
00:30:24Those who talk on the phone on speaker can receive
00:30:28fines of up to 250 euros.
00:30:31Hundreds of residents of Slobozia protested in
00:30:34front of the prefecture and demanded clean air and drinking
00:30:37water in the network, outraged. People have reached their limit
00:30:41due to the bad smell that is slowly poisoning
00:30:44them. They all point the finger at the company that
00:30:47manages wastewater in the city.
00:30:51la limita răbdării din cauza mirosului urât care îi otrăvește cu picătura. Cu
00:30:55toții arată cu degetul spre societatea care gestionează apele uzate din
00:30:59oraș.
