00:00:00signed. Seven out of 10 Romanians have
00:00:04weight problems and almost half
00:00:06huge video projection are obese. Doctors say that losing weight is not just about willpower
00:00:09and are always looking for new solutions to get rid of extra
00:00:13pounds. The capital celebrates
00:00:16567 years since its first documentary mention with a new
00:00:20edition of the projection festival on the Parliament Palace. In
00:00:23addition, there is a promenade on Victory Avenue and parties are organized
00:00:26in several areas of the city.
00:00:36Massive Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow on the last day of
00:00:40the Russian parliamentary elections, according to Russian authorities, at
00:00:43least 450 drones
00:00:47that Moscow made a mistake by not reached the capital area, three people lost their lives and approximately
00:00:4920 were injured. Polling stations will close soon, and United Russia,
00:00:53the Kremlin's party, is expected to maintain its supremacy in the State
00:00:57Duma.
00:01:00A refinery and a thermal power plant in Moscow were hit, several
00:01:04to exit polls in Lower residential buildings were damaged, which led to the evacuation of several hundred
00:01:07people. Following the detection of the drone swarm,
00:01:11airports around the capital temporarily imposed
00:01:14restrictions, and dozens of flights were affected.
00:01:17The authorities did everything possible to minimize
00:01:20the effects of last night's attack on the refinery and
00:01:23thermal power plant on the outskirts of Moscow. They only stated
00:01:27that 450 drones tried to attack. The Russian
00:01:30capital is on the last day of voting, and the government is trying
00:01:34to demonstrate that nothing happened, and the election is proceeding
00:01:37normally. Ukrainians claimed responsibility for the attack on
00:01:41the refinery. President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked
00:01:44the military, citing, "for the precision with which the
00:01:48operation took place." This is the last day of voting in this first parliamentary
00:01:51election organized after the invasion of Ukraine.
00:01:55Russian voters are reluctant to give statements to the press, but there
00:01:58are also people who say:
00:02:09lamb and a maximum of
00:02:30vote as illegal. Human rights organizations also
00:02:33claim pressure on locals.
00:02:37According to some activists, voters would have been accompanied or intimidated
00:02:41by armed people.
00:02:43At the elections in Russia, Diana Șoșoacă, a Member of the European Parliament,
00:02:47who launched a wave of fake news about Romania and the European Union,
00:02:50is also an observer. "Russia is more democratic than
00:02:54the European Union," she said on Russia Today, a Kremlin propaganda channel
00:02:58banned in the Union.
00:03:02Diana Șoșoacă spoke in an interview given to Russian television about
00:03:05the violence at the protest of animal breeders in Victory
00:03:08Square, accusing the gendarmes of attacking the protesters and the
00:03:12SOS Romania parliamentarians. Șoșoacă also launched other
00:03:15accusations and even stated that in Romania people are starving,
00:03:19and politicians would stop water from the mountains to direct it to
00:03:23certain companies. At the same time, Șoșoacă expressed her appreciation
00:03:26for the electoral process in Russia.
00:04:34and this lady Șoșoacă
00:04:38found a niche in Romanian
00:04:40politics and exploits it,
00:04:44earning considerable sums from
00:04:48Brussels and pursuing
00:04:50Moscow's policy directed against
00:04:54the European Union, thus remaking the
00:04:58policy of the Communist Party in
00:05:01Romania during the interwar period,
00:05:05a party whose leadership was in Moscow.
00:05:08The European Parliament lifted Diana Iovanović Șoșoacă's immunity
00:05:12in the spring of this year, after suspending her previously for deviations
00:05:15in the plenary of the institution. The lifting of immunity allows the MEP to be investigated
00:05:19in criminal cases opened by the Romanian authorities for
00:05:2211 offenses, including legionary propaganda, the cult
00:05:26of persons guilty of genocide, unlawful deprivation of liberty, and
00:05:29outrage. Germany, Romania, and Poland are the first
00:05:33European countries that Russia could attack next year. The statement
00:05:37belongs to the Honorary President of the Council for Foreign and Defense
00:05:40Policy in Russia. The strategist argued in an interview that
00:05:44Romania is the source of arms deliveries to
00:05:47Ukraine. He specified that initially nuclear weapons will not be used in
00:05:50attacks on European countries, and Moscow would consider
00:05:54much harsher strikes against Ukraine. Karaganov says
00:05:59resorting to nuclear threats since the beginning of the war, which
00:06:03was deliberately provoked by the United States to weaken
00:06:06Russia.
00:06:09Huge emotions in Berlin, but also in the rest of Germany, a short while
00:06:13ago, the ballot boxes closed, according
00:06:16Pomerania, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, convened
00:06:20an emergency meeting of his conservative party, the Christian
00:06:24Democratic Union, immediately after the announcement of the first
00:06:27results.
00:06:29rezultate.
00:06:32In the state of Mecklenburg, Lower Pomerania, a predominantly rural
00:06:35region in the less prosperous East of Germany. The electoral duel is between
00:06:39the Social Democratic Party and the Alternative for Germany,
00:06:43the latter being credited with 37% of the voting
00:06:46intentions, the SPD with 35% while
00:06:49the Christian Democratic Union is far behind. The state has
00:06:53been governed by social democrats for the last 28
00:06:56years.
00:07:00It's still bad, I still didn't heat in winter, I still had a cold apartment,
00:07:03it can't go on like this. Well, what do I wish for?
00:07:06Yes, I mean, that, that, that this improves
00:07:10and that the asylum seekers who come here don't get everything they want.
00:07:14So I think they're served well.
00:07:17Germany. According to polls, only
00:07:20alliances formed by three parties would
00:07:28be able to obtain a majority. Either the CDU will form a coalition
00:07:32with the SPD and the Greens, or the Radical Left Party, Die
00:07:35Linke, will join forces with the SPD and the Greens. Although it is
00:07:39predicted that the AfD will register progress in both
00:07:43today's elections, its rise to power will face
00:07:46obstacles, as the major parties have ruled out any
00:07:49collaboration with this formation. strong.
00:07:5278%
00:08:12of Germans believe he is not the right person for this
00:08:16position. Merz, 70 years old, took over the leadership
00:08:19of Germany 16 months ago. He promised then to
00:08:23revitalize the country's economy, but failed to make significant
00:08:26changes. The overwhelming result obtained by the AfD in
00:08:30the elections in Saxony-Anhalt further weakened the Chancellor's
00:08:33position nationally.
00:08:36Hundreds of gourmands from all corners
00:08:39of the country came to Pleșcoi to savor the famous local sausages at
00:08:42the festival dedicated to them. Details about
00:08:46the celebration with a special taste immediately
00:08:49on the news.
00:08:53Official negotiations begin for the support of a cabinet led by Siegfried
00:08:56Mureșan. The designated Prime Minister is still working on the governing program which
00:09:00he wants to present tomorrow to the parties that support him. And also
00:09:03tomorrow the PSD has scheduled the first meeting dedicated to the Mureșan
00:09:06solution. The big question is whether the Social Democrats will allow room for
00:09:10negotiations and come up with proposals for the governing program? For now,
00:09:13Siegfried Mureșan has announced that he will keep the light on following the Bolojan
00:09:17model.
00:09:20Siegfried Mureșan sets out to form the government with a message
00:09:23of continuity. Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan turned on the light in
00:09:27the "chamber of tricks." If anyone expects me to turn off
00:09:31the light, they are sorely mistaken, we will keep the light on and we will clean up
00:09:35all the mess that has accumulated in over 30 years in
00:09:38the Romanian state. We are not doing this against anyone in particular, but for
00:09:42all honest people in Romania who work and who deserve to
00:09:46benefit maximum from the honest work they
00:09:50do. The designated Prime Minister announced that he will not negotiate with AUR,
00:09:53and the Social Democrats show no signs of intending to vote for the Mureșan
00:09:57cabinet. He must come and convince with a
00:10:01plan, a better governing program than his father's,
00:10:05a program that will pull the country out of the economic disaster into which
00:10:08Ilie Bolojan pushed it. If he is not capable, he should not
00:10:12go to the PSD because he has no reason to. Just with threats, stubbornness, and
00:10:16stomping your foot, it won't work. For example, the price
00:10:19of energy does not decrease if you inflate yourself.
00:10:23For now, at least, the chances for the Mureșan government to pass in Parliament are
00:10:27minimal, says political scientist Cristian Pârvulescu. It's very
00:10:30complicated, as you can see, because those red lines
00:10:34that the parties have drawn in their relationships
00:10:37do not seem to have been lifted, as long as the positions, especially at
00:10:41PNR, PNL, and USR, are not flexible, it will be very difficult to
00:10:44reach a consensus. For the government to pass, Siegfried Mureșan still
00:10:48needs approximately 65 votes. The UDMR has
00:10:51announced that it will not participate in governance if it is supported by
00:10:55votes from AUR or sovereignist parliamentarians. In these conditions,
00:10:58the only votes Mureșan can try to attract are from the Social
00:11:02Democrats. 13 Social Democrat deputies
00:11:06propose tougher conditions for regaining Romanian citizenship,
00:11:09especially for second or third-degree descendants of former
00:11:13Romanian citizens. The initiators say they want to reduce the large
00:11:17number of files. USR warns, however, that the amendment
00:11:20will especially affect Romanians from the Republic of
00:11:24Moldova.
00:11:26Specifically, articles 10 and 11 of the Citizenship
00:11:29Law are to be amended. If now
00:11:33the law also includes descendants of former Romanian citizens,
00:11:37the project retains the special procedure only for persons who actually
00:11:40held Romanian citizenship and lost it.
00:11:44We are talking about regaining, it means you had Romanian
00:11:48citizenship and therefore you want to
00:11:52regain it. So
00:11:56it does not block the path of any foreign
00:11:58citizen to obtain Romanian
00:12:02citizenship, even more so it
00:12:05does not address, I don't know, people
00:12:08from Moldova. In the explanatory statement, the initiators invoke
00:12:12three arguments: The return to the reparatory purpose of the
00:12:15law, the existence of a real connection with Romania, and
00:12:19the streamlining of the activity of the Citizenship
00:12:22Authority. They also mention the cases
00:12:25investigated for suspicions of falsified documents. If
00:12:29this initiative were adopted, the descendants
00:12:32of those who unjustly lost Romanian citizenship
00:12:36would no longer be able to apply for
00:12:39its regaining. A matter that primarily affects Romanians
00:12:43from the Republic of Moldova. The USR senator
00:12:46also draws attention to already submitted applications, because
00:12:50the project does not contain, in its current form, transitional provisions
00:12:54for them. Criticism also comes from Chișinău. We
00:12:57are Romanians, we held
00:13:00Romanian citizenship, it was
00:13:03taken away from us in a barbaric, fraudulent way through
00:13:07the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and now PSD deputies
00:13:10have been found who, under the pretext or believing
00:13:14that they are thus strengthening Romania's security,
00:13:18deprive us of this
00:13:21right. The proposal registered in the Senate on
00:13:24September 15 is only at the beginning of its parliamentary
00:13:27journey. Army engineers detonated the remnants
00:13:31of a drone that was floating in the area of Chituc beach in Constanța
00:13:34county. The Coast Guard discovered a suspicious object floating this morning about
00:13:3850 nautical miles east of Chituc. The area was
00:13:41secured and there was no danger to navigation. The number
00:13:45of such incidents has increased significantly in recent months, as
00:13:49Russian attacks against Ukrainian ports on the Danube have
00:13:53multiplied.
00:13:56Obesity puts increasing pressure on public health. Eight out of 10
00:14:00Romanians are obsessed with thoughts about food and statistics show that
00:14:04seven out of 10 Romanians have many extra kilos and even worse,
00:14:07four out of 10 have become obese. Losing weight is not just
00:14:11about willpower, say doctors who are now coming up with more anti-obesity
00:14:14solutions.
00:14:17Cristi lost 62 kilograms in one year after the operation that
00:14:21reduced his stomach and changed his life. His analyses
00:14:25are perfect now, he walks easily and no longer gets tired, he also got rid of
00:14:28pre-diabetes and high blood pressure, without taking any more pills.
00:14:32At the time of the operation I weighed 142 kg and now I weigh
00:14:3580, I don't take any treatment, now I eat a handful
00:14:39of food per meal and before I used to eat plates full,
00:14:42I've always been a bit plump, I've tried all sorts of diets,
00:14:46they didn't work, I liked to eat,
00:14:49the entourage is something hereditary,
00:14:53meaning everyone in my family likes food.
00:14:55Șerban, a former martial arts practitioner, chose to try a
00:14:59personalized diet from a doctor, combined with exercise, when he exceeded
00:15:02130 kg. Metabolic age, 58
00:15:06years, compared to actual age, 43 years. We need to
00:15:10modify the values regarding fat
00:15:13mass. I lost 14 kg in approximately 6 months.
00:15:16The target is to reach around 90. Psychology is, I think,
00:15:20above all. However, willpower is not enough for everyone, especially
00:15:24if there is a predisposition to obesity inherited or when hormones get out
00:15:28of control and emotions matter. According to a study,
00:15:31almost eight out of 10 Romanians sometimes eat due to stress,
00:15:34anxiety, sadness, or fatigue and just as many
00:15:38have persistent thoughts about food, this is also reflected in obesity
00:15:41statistics. Sometimes you are born with that
00:15:45food noise, with a channel in your brain that makes you much
00:15:49more preoccupied with food, under the influence of genetics, of
00:15:52certain environmental phenomena, of certain psycho-emotional
00:15:55traumas. Your brain's biochemistry has been disturbed.
00:15:59You've always eaten? Biology explains why it's hard to
00:16:02lose weight, but also to maintain it. We are mammals who try
00:16:06to gain energy for days when we didn't have
00:16:09access to food, if you try to lose weight, your body will try
00:16:13to put it back. In a world where culinary temptations are everywhere,
00:16:17the fight against extra pounds is long and hard, ideally
00:16:21we should not need to lose weight. For obesity,
00:16:24a chronic disease from which over 200 complications arise, there are
00:16:28many solutions, diets, slimming injections or
00:16:32surgery, all must be personalized. Ideally, support
00:16:35should come from a team that includes psychotherapists.
00:16:37A delicious celebration in
00:16:40Buzău county, hundreds of people came to Pleșcoi to taste
00:16:43the famous local sausages at the festival dedicated
00:16:47to them. The fame of Pleșcoi sausages has long exceeded the borders
00:16:50of the county and even of Romania.
00:16:53The smoke from the hot grills and
00:16:58the unmistakable aroma of spices transformed the village of
00:17:01Pleșcoi in Berca commune into the capital of authentic taste this
00:17:05weekend. A lot of gourmets came here
00:17:08from all corners of the country,
00:17:11a delicacy, an exceptional product
00:17:15representing Buzău county, and
00:17:18I hope this tradition will not be forgotten, which
00:17:22we now cherish with great pleasure, they are a bit
00:17:25spicy for my taste, but they are very
00:17:28good, Pleșcoi sausages, protected at a European
00:17:31level, are the pride of the community in the Carpathian
00:17:35Bend. They have been made for a very long time, we are the third
00:17:38generation that makes them, it's a successful
00:17:42brand. Pleșcoi sausages are prepared from a mixture of
00:17:4745% beef to keep the paste tender. The spicy taste is
00:17:50given by hot red pepper, garlic, and a little
00:17:53thyme. After being stuffed into thin sheep casings,
00:17:57the essential steps follow: drying and hot smoking
00:18:00with hardwood. The dry ones?
00:18:04Since 2019, Pleșcoi sausages are
00:18:14officially a product with protected geographical indication in
00:18:17the European Union.
00:18:21With the arrival of autumn, the herds descend from the mountains, and the shepherds
00:18:25take stock of a difficult year. In Runcu, Dâmbovița,
00:18:28breeders met at a traditional fair where they sell their products and
00:18:31share their experiences. Restrictions in the field and the lack of
00:18:35labor are increasingly affecting incomes.
00:18:39At over 1000 m altitude on the peak of
00:18:41In, breeders from Dâmbovița and
00:18:43neighboring counties meet every autumn for the sheep roundup. The herds
00:18:47descend from the mountains, the sheep are divided among the owners, and the shepherds take
00:18:51stock of the season. Shepherds, don't you see that the
00:18:54ground is a mess? It's
00:18:57bad. Shepherds say that among the biggest problems is the lack of
00:19:01labor. How is shepherding? It's bad
00:19:04with this sport, you can't find
00:19:07shepherds anymore, where else can you get them, you bring one and
00:19:10two run away, so there are no more serious people, I pay
00:19:14a boy like that daily, well I gave them up to 1000 euros
00:19:17a month, who else to work with, I stopped with many
00:19:21cows, many cows because a cow, you know, takes care
00:19:25of itself, you have to stay, you have to stay next to it
00:19:27day and night, jackals appeared,
00:19:31all sorts of wolves
00:19:34appeared. Without enough people to care for
00:19:38the herds, the sheep spend less time grazing, milk production decreases, and
00:19:41consequently, fewer dairy products are obtained. I'm not saying we
00:19:45had enough pasture because it rained and grass grew even on
00:19:49the rocks. But I told you, I'm not a shepherd to take
00:19:52them more grass, he sent them with the sheep, they slipped over the ridge, he put them to sleep,
00:19:56he brought them back from there and put them to sleep in the shed again. For
00:19:59visitors, the fair is also an opportunity to buy and taste traditional products
00:20:03directly from producers. Have you tasted them? Yes, and how
00:20:06are they? Good, good? Have you been here in previous years?
00:20:10Yes, we are from Brașov, and we came
00:20:13with our traditional products:
00:20:16smoked cheese, fresh cow's cheese,
00:20:19old sheep's cheese, burduf. The organizers say
00:20:22they want to keep the sheep roundup, even if year after year there are fewer
00:20:26breeders and shepherds.
00:20:28Musical gala in the capital, a
00:20:31South Korean pianist of 18 years won the
00:20:34George Enescu International Competition. I'll give you details
00:20:38in just a few
00:20:40moments.
00:20:43Fuel shortage in Ukraine, gas stations in the war-torn
00:20:46neighboring country have become Moscow's new targets as
00:20:50the Russian army has intensified its offensive in recent
00:20:52weeks.
00:20:55In the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, located near the border with Russia,
00:20:59fuel is hard to find. Almost all gas
00:21:02stations have been destroyed by the Russians, residents live in
00:21:06permanent fear of new attacks.
00:21:08It's not very good, as they say. And so we live, sometimes bags, sometimes this, and you stand, you watch for the air raid siren, whether it's there or not, whether something is flying or not. So. there's nothing to look for, we live as we have to live, our
00:21:12land must be defended somehow, somehow we must.
00:21:16we took canisters, you understand, to drive, I
00:21:50drove right after this explosion, I drove
00:21:54to Poltava to refuel, 50 km
00:21:56from here,
00:22:06I filled canisters. 300 gas stations have been
00:22:10destroyed or damaged by drones that are becoming increasingly difficult for
00:22:13the Ukrainian army to intercept.
00:22:16Serious incident in the capital of Slovenia, I warn you, information that may
00:22:28affect you emotionally will follow. The head of the Diplomatic
00:22:32Security Bureau within the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:22:34fell from the third floor of a consular building
00:22:38located near the Polish Embassy in Ljubljana and is
00:22:42now hospitalized in serious condition. Authorities in Warsaw stated that
00:22:45the man was on vacation in the Slovenian capital, he was supposed to
00:22:48pick up and deliver a diplomatic suitcase, although he had no
00:22:52official authorization to do so. The diplomat is one of the closest
00:22:56collaborators of the Polish Foreign Minister.
00:22:59Chopin, Prokofiev and Brahms resonated at
00:23:03the Romanian Athenaeum in the final of the George Enescu International Competition.
00:23:07three young pianists, all from Asia, competed for the podium
00:23:10spots. South Korean
00:23:13John Lee, only 18 years old, conquered the jury
00:23:16and the audience and won the famous competition in the piano
00:23:20section. The three young pianists took to
00:23:23the stage of the Romanian Athenaeum accompanied by the George Enescu
00:23:26Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Daniela
00:23:30Candilari. Each performed
00:23:31a major concerto, and
00:23:37each chord captivated the audience.
00:23:40The youngest of the finalists, South Korean John Holy,
00:23:4318 years old, chose Chopin's Concerto No. 2 in
00:23:46F minor. At the end, the jury decided that it was
00:23:50the winning

00:28:24Spectacular stunts have attracted thousands of people like a magnet
00:28:28near Alba Iulia, the star of the demonstrations, seemingly
00:28:31from action movies. He was a well-known stuntman who reached
00:28:3574 years old. Memorable images in just a few moments on
00:28:39the news.
00:28:42What does a supersonic pilot do after retiring? He continues to
00:28:46fly, much slower, with much fewer overloads, and
00:28:49trains civilian pilots. At least, this is the story of Commander
00:28:53(ret.) Daniel Moise, one of the best aerobatic pilots with the MiG
00:28:5721 Lancer. My colleague Adelin Petrișor flew with
00:29:01him on the Supersonic, and now also with the training plane. Here's what
00:29:05happened.
00:29:10Strejnic Aerodrome near Ploiești. A Technam plane
00:29:13returns after a training flight. Next to the student is instructor
00:29:16Daniel Moise, former MiG 21 Lancer pilot, Commander
00:29:20(ret.). For five months, the former supersonic pilot has been an instructor at a
00:29:24private aviation school. He has already accumulated 500 hours of flight at
00:29:28Strejnic, and nine of his students are already flying
00:29:31solo. I miss the speed, I miss the G-forces,
00:29:34the adrenaline, but here it's something completely different,
00:29:38the fact that
00:29:42you are the person who puts the stick in the hand of a young person who
00:29:45wants to aspire to a career in
00:29:48aviation, that's something. I got to know him personally, a top
00:29:51-notch person, extremely calm, patient, very
00:29:55relaxed, super well prepared on the technical
00:29:59side. Four years ago, Daniel Moise retired after
00:30:02accumulating over 2300 hours of flight, most of them with the old MiG
00:30:0621 Lancer. Over time, I had the opportunity to fly several times with a
00:30:10Super Sonic piloted by him. In September 2012, at
00:30:13Borcea, "Motanu" (the Tomcat), this is his nick name, piloted a dual-control
00:30:17aircraft from which I also filmed, an aircraft that was scrapped immediately after the training
00:30:21mission, because it was too
00:30:22old.
00:30:27Since '95, over time many planes
00:30:31have been retired. How many are still
00:30:34operational today? It's a secret number, but I can tell you
00:30:38that there are a few dozen. In the quarter century that he was a military pilot,
00:30:42Daniel Moise participated in many real air policing missions,
00:30:46intercepted Russian fighter jets over the Black Sea, but was also.
