00:00:38Welcome back to the evening news, I'm Alina Stancu, let's look at the headlines
00:00:42of the edition. A decisive week awaits
00:00:46the designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu. He intends to present the government program
00:00:49and the list of ministers on Thursday, but so far there is no clear
00:00:53majority solution.
00:00:55Donald Trump wants a new president in Ukraine who can negotiate a peace
00:00:59agreement with Russia. Zelensky, who is also defended by the opposition in Kyiv,
00:01:03replied that he would organize elections if Putin stopped the attacks in 60
00:01:07days. The weather changes radically from one
00:01:10hour to another, temperatures drop sharply and in most of the country, it will rain
00:01:14heavily. Doctors warn that many people may be
00:01:17affected by depression during this period.
00:01:21Pope Leon will undergo surgery in the coming days. Doctors discovered a
00:01:25nodule in an early stage in one of his
00:01:27lungs.
00:01:37The President of Ukraine stated that he would organize elections if Russia accepted a 60-day
00:01:41truce. The leader from Kyiv made the statement in an interview in
00:01:45the American press, responding to the American president who said
00:01:49that it was time for Ukraine to have a new president. Trump blamed
00:01:53Zelensky for the fuel crisis, furious that he did not stop
00:01:56attacking Russian refineries. In the meantime, Trump.
00:02:00Trump announced on his social network that Russia and Ukraine had reached
00:02:04a so-called energy truce, but gave no
00:02:06details. If President Trump
00:02:10really wants to have some changes in during
00:02:13elections, I also shared it with his
00:02:17team, so please tell
00:02:19Putin, give us two months, 60 days
00:02:23of total ceasefire, 60 days and we
00:02:27will organize elections. Donald Trump. after
00:02:33the Ukrainian president harshly criticized the trade
00:02:36agreement between Russia and the United States. If 24
00:02:40hours ago Trump refrained from commenting, this
00:02:43time he said exactly what he wanted.
00:03:16Trump and second is dictator Putin, I have as
00:03:20an opposition party leader only one answer to that, we
00:03:23are acting according to Ukrainian constitution and it's
00:03:27up to other leader.
00:03:34European leaders also came to Zelensky's aid. The head of
00:03:38European diplomacy announced that Europe is preparing the largest
00:03:41package of sanctions against Russia and emphasized that
00:03:45lifting sanctions against Moscow will give more money
00:03:49to the Kremlin to continue the war in Ukraine.
00:03:52Also, Great Britain, through the voice of the Minister of Defense,
00:03:56reaffirms its support for Volodymyr Zelensky.
00:04:30the trade agreement between Russia and
00:04:32and Saint Paisie from the United States, citing a law from the Ronald Reagan
00:04:36administration. Russians continued violent attacks
00:04:40on major Ukrainian cities. In Dnipro,
00:04:43Sloviansk and Odessa, missiles and drones hit houses and apartment
00:04:47blocks and caused numerous casualties. In the meantime,
00:04:50the death toll from yesterday's attack in Zaporozhye rose to 23
00:04:53dead. Moscow aims, in particular, at energy infrastructure to
00:04:57the reliquary, with small but sure steps, force Ukrainians to suffer from fear and darkness during
00:05:01winter. In Dnipro, Russian drones hit a
00:05:05residential area and caused injuries to four people, including
00:05:08two.
00:05:13they were brought down in their pajamas, emergency workers broke
00:05:16down the door, there was a fire somewhere, I don't
00:05:19know,
00:05:25the attack caused damage to civilian infrastructure in
00:05:28Zaporozhye, where Russian attacks caused numerous tragedies,
00:05:32there was also a moment of joy when rescuers managed to
00:05:36pull a cat from the rubble, in Sloviansk, three
00:05:39aerial bombs exploded in the early hours of the morning.
00:06:12attack. Authorities are investigating a possible plot to assassinate
00:06:16the prime minister and deputy prime minister, who also holds the position of minister of
00:06:19defense. The Interior Ministry has already ordered intelligence services
00:06:23to take increased security measures. The information comes shortly
00:06:26after the warning issued by Western intelligence
00:06:29agencies, according to which Russia is intensifying efforts to
00:06:32eliminate defense chiefs in Europe. The alert refers
00:06:36in particular to the reduction of arms manufacturing companies.
00:06:39Polish services met urgently to establish. and
00:06:51the threat to the
00:06:52prime minister.
00:06:55More and more Romanians are interested in buying hybrid cars from China, but their
00:06:59plans could be disrupted by the recent agreement between Brussels and
00:07:03Beijing. Why, find out in just a few
00:07:05moments.
00:07:09The mild autumn until now and the generous sun of the last few weeks. The
00:07:12weather is getting significantly colder, rains will gradually cover
00:07:16most of the country, and in the counties around the capital there will even be
00:07:19a yellow code for abundant precipitation. Weather-sensitive
00:07:22people feel such changes more strongly. The explanation
00:07:26is primarily biological. Natural light regulates the body's internal
00:07:29clock, and less light can alter melatonin
00:07:33secretion and the sleep-wake rhythm. After a
00:07:37start to October with temperatures higher than the seasonal norm, the weather changes
00:07:40radically. Rains will cover a large part of the country, and temperatures will drop by even
00:07:44over 10°. In Bucharest and several other counties in Muntenia and Oltenia,
00:07:48as well as for the Curvature Carpathians area, there is a yellow code for abundant
00:07:51rains. With the penetration of a very cold air
00:07:54mass from northern latitudes, temperatures
00:07:58tend to drop significantly,
00:08:01by over 10°, and we will reach thermal values
00:08:04generally between 11 and
00:08:0717°, and minimums will drop even below
00:08:11freezing. On the other hand, there will also be rains.
00:08:15The change in weather can affect weather-sensitive people, fewer hours without natural
00:08:18light in the autumn and winter months can disrupt the
00:08:21circadian rhythm, which influences the level of serotonin and melatonin. And
00:08:25this changes mood, energy and sleep. For many people, such reactions
00:08:29to weather changes do not exist, others however, feel them seriously. Not yet,
00:08:33at this age not, I hope not later either. No, no, we try
00:08:36to get energy from anything, from any
00:08:38activity. We can say that a change is observed
00:08:42in our state of mind, so to
00:08:45speak, in the sense that we inevitably become more, we are more melancholic,
00:08:49more depressed. Seasonal
00:08:52affective disorder is a form of depression that recurs at the same time of year, but
00:08:56doctors warn that not all autumn fatigue is asthenia and
00:08:59not every bad mood is seasonal depression. A study
00:09:03showed that serotonin in the brain decreases in
00:09:06winter. Thus, fatigue, drowsiness and
00:09:10sweet cravings appear. Fatigue that
00:09:13does not pass, can also have other causes, such
00:09:17as anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid problems,
00:09:21diabetes, or lack of sleep. Among the easy
00:09:24solutions available to weather-sensitive people are exposure to
00:09:28sun and fresh air, any form of exercise, including walks, a
00:09:31diet with more vitamins and necessarily a restful
00:09:34sleep. The largest Orthodox pilgrimage in the country reached
00:09:38impressive heights. In Iași, over 10,000 believers worshipped
00:09:41the relics of Saint Parascheva
00:09:45Sihăstria, and the queue of pilgrims waiting to reach
00:09:48the holy relics stretches for more than 5 km. Now
00:09:52the procession of the Way of the Saints is taking place, when the relics are carried by priests and believers
00:09:56through the streets of the city. Come on, let's go, please,
00:09:59there.
00:10:03This lady stood in line all night, more than 15
00:10:06hours until she managed to pass by
00:10:10she managed almost at noon to fulfill her dream at
00:10:149:30 last night and now, with
00:10:16God's help, we will arrive. What makes you
00:10:19wait, I don't know, a special
00:10:22feeling makes us come again. There are
00:10:25many hours of waiting for all the pilgrims who came to Iași this
00:10:29year, in such large numbers. Some wait even
00:10:3117 hours until they reach the reliquary with the Holy Relics. The weather
00:10:35was friendly, however, and made the long journey to the Saint easier
00:10:39to bear. It's the first year I
00:10:42came, I feel
00:10:44a special thrill, a
00:10:47different emotion.
00:10:50I will return with great pleasure. It's
00:10:53hard,
00:10:55but it's worth it, it's worth coming
00:11:01here to worship, to feel the emotion, to feel the love
00:11:05for God, we are very emotional, I feel such
00:11:09a peace, how was the night, it passed
00:11:11quickly and I don't know, I didn't feel cold until
00:11:15morning at all, it was very peaceful,
00:11:18those seconds when you touched the reliquary, what was it like?
00:11:21Thrills, peace, thrills.
00:11:25tears, another extraordinary day here at
00:11:28the pilgrimage dedicated to Saint Parascheva, we see a large
00:11:31crowd, perhaps beyond everyone's expectations, coming here to
00:11:34the Metropolitan Cathedral.
00:11:37It's a Sunday, a
00:11:40day when God blesses
00:11:43us with sunny weather, but it seems
00:11:46that light also comes from below, from the pilgrims. It's a beautiful
00:11:49image. So far, over 10,000 believers have passed by
00:11:53the reliquary.
00:11:55drivers who want to buy hybrid cars from China may have to wait longer
00:11:59for some brands and models. The warning comes from car dealers after
00:12:03the European Union and China reached an agreement to reduce exports to
00:12:07the community market. The measure was awaited by major European
00:12:10car manufacturers, given that the market share of Chinese hybrid cars
00:12:14has increased significantly in recent years.
00:12:17Gheorghe Ion is from Ploiești and would like to buy a Chinese
00:12:21hybrid car. He came to the Bucharest auto show to see what
00:12:24dealers offer. He says he has several reasons why he has
00:12:28turned to manufacturers from China. First of all, the price
00:12:31seems more affordable than cars from Europe, they seem more
00:12:35affordable in terms of price. They offer a greater
00:12:38number of kilometers for the electric range than what we were
00:12:42used to on the European market. In recent years, Romanian drivers have
00:12:46become increasingly interested in Chinese cars. In September
00:12:49alone, out of over 1100 new cars
00:12:52registered in our country, almost 1900, which is approximately
00:12:5617% of the total, belonged to Chinese
00:12:59brands. Moreover, a major car manufacturer from China
00:13:03rose to fourth place in terms of sales. This is shown by the latest
00:13:07official statistics. In Europe too, the market share of
00:13:10vehicles from China has increased substantially. For Plugin
00:13:13hybrid cars, it rose from 2% in 2024
00:13:17to 25% in the first six months of this year,
00:13:21so authorities have taken measures to protect the local industry.
00:13:25The European Union reached an agreement with China to limit
00:13:28hybrid car exports to the community
00:13:30market.
00:13:34We have reached a share understanding to moderate China's export of hybrids and plugging
00:13:37hybrids to the European Union.
00:13:40This open the
00:13:42prospect of China's export by more than a
00:13:46half. Car dealers warn that consequences
00:13:49may appear on the local market. Prices will
00:13:53most likely increase, and delivery time, most
00:13:56likely large Chinese manufacturers will buy
00:14:00factories in Europe to
00:14:03have a production line in Europe. It could
00:14:06stimulate sales in the future, because
00:14:10existing customers could
00:14:13purchase the current models. The buyer will always have
00:14:17the final say, because as long as the commercial offer is more
00:14:20competitive, the buyer will set
00:14:23the trend. Representatives of the European automotive industry expect
00:14:27the trade agreement to temper the sharp increase in imports from
00:14:30China. A decisive week follows for
00:14:34the formation of the new government. Designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu would like to submit
00:14:38the government program and the list of ministers on Thursday. Tomorrow he will have
00:14:41new discussions with the leaders of the parliamentary parties, he will go to USR, but
00:14:45he will also meet with representatives of minorities and some parliamentary
00:14:48groups. And my colleague Alina Sorocean comes with
00:14:51details.
00:14:55Hello, starting tomorrow at 12:00, Luca Nicolescu
00:14:58will resume discussions for the formation of a new majority. The first discussions
00:15:02will be with the representatives of USR to find out if they will give him the vote of
00:15:06investiture. Although USR
00:15:09representatives mentioned that they do not wish to support him and rather wish
00:15:13for early elections. Later at 14:00, the designated
00:15:16prime minister will meet with representatives of the national minority
00:15:19group at 16:00 with representatives of the Peace group, following that at
00:15:2317:00. Luca Niculescu will also have a discussion
00:15:27with the leaders of the United for Romania group. He is considering
00:15:31having discussions with unaffiliated parliamentarians, given that every vote
00:15:34counts for gathering the 233 votes,
00:15:38but it is very important that tomorrow at 10:30,
00:15:41the PSD representatives will hold a meeting precisely to
00:15:45offer a final answer regarding the eventual support of the
00:15:49government or joining the government, but sources claim that
00:15:52they have not changed their point of view, specifically they still
00:15:55wish to join the government only if both PNL and UDMR take
00:15:59this step, otherwise they will not support a technocratic
00:16:02government or a single-party government of the Social
00:16:06Party. After a response from PSD,
00:16:09another response would come from the National Liberal Party, but we know well that until
00:16:13now Ilie Bolojean has made it very clear that the party he leads is
00:16:17ready to give a vote of investiture, but does not wish
00:16:20to join the government. Conflict over the future European
00:16:23budget, and Romania could be directly affected. The Irish
00:16:26Presidency of the Union wants an 8% reduction from the commission's proposal
00:16:30for the next seven years. Other countries, led by
00:16:34Germany, want an even smaller budget. France, on the other hand, advocates for
00:16:37increasing community funding. Together with 17 other beneficiary
00:16:41states of European funds, Romania will oppose
00:16:44the cuts. Ireland, which holds the rotating
00:16:48presidency of the European Union, proposed an 8% reduction in the European
00:16:52Commission's budget for the period
00:16:542028-2034. The amount would be
00:16:571.6 trillion euros. This is a compromise
00:17:01formula. Six countries, led by Germany, those that contribute
00:17:04substantially to the community budget, demand even larger
00:17:07reductions of hundreds of millions of euros. Romanian MEPs fear that
00:17:11key areas for Romanian infrastructure and economy would
00:17:15receive much smaller funding in the coming
00:17:18years. Romania currently depends on European
00:17:21funds for public investments. Six out of 10
00:17:25public investments in Romania were made with
00:17:28European money, because these European funds translated into
00:17:31modernized schools and hospitals, as well as funding for
00:17:34farmers. And in this proposal it is evident
00:17:38that cohesion policy and common agricultural policy would be
00:17:41the policies that would suffer the most, I am
00:17:44the author of the proposal to tax
00:17:48online betting platforms, only
00:17:51this proposal would bring approximately 24
00:17:54billion euros to the common European budget, an
00:17:58amount that corresponds to the Erasmus program. Other sources of
00:18:02funding could come from taxing cryptocurrencies, as well as from postponing
00:18:05the payment of loans made by the European Commission
00:18:09within the recovery and resilience mechanism, specifically from
00:18:12the time of the pandemic, together with 16 other beneficiary countries of
00:18:16European funds from the Friends of Cohesion Group, Romania wants
00:18:19to negotiate a more solid budget for the coming years.
00:18:23Romania will certainly reject this cut proposal from the Irish
00:18:26Presidency, because it even goes below the European
00:18:30Commission's proposal, while we
00:18:33in the European Parliament asked for a 10% increase in this budget.
00:18:36I think we will enter a very tough negotiation phase
00:18:40between member states and the European Union cannot do more with less
00:18:44money. The multi-annual budget of the European Union must be voted
00:18:47by all 27 member states to be adopted. Heads of
00:18:51state and government should reach a compromise by the end
00:18:55of this year. Romania asks Ukraine to preserve
00:18:58the current network of schools with teaching in Romanian. The request comes in
00:19:01the context of the Ukrainian education reform, which next year could
00:19:05drastically reduce the number of high schools.
00:19:08At the same time, the Parliament in Kyiv is to debate a new law on
00:19:12the rights of national minorities, important for
00:19:15negotiations for accession to the European Union. The project is supported
00:19:18by the Hungarian minority, but causes dissatisfaction in the Romanian
00:19:22community in Ukraine.
00:19:25What works do you know
00:19:28from Mihai
00:19:29Eminescu's creation?
00:19:32Now students in Ukraine finish high school after 11th
00:19:36grade, starting next year. The middle school cycle will also include
00:19:409th grade, then three years of high school will follow. In
00:19:43the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine, there are currently 44 high schools with
00:19:47Romanian language instruction. Next year's reform provides that only
00:19:5115 Romanian high schools will remain up to 12th
00:19:54grade, the remaining 29 will be
00:19:57middle schools, i.e. up to 9th grade. The Romanian High School in
00:20:01Crasna is in a pilot project with 12
00:20:04grades. Instead, the high school in Suceveni will become a middle school
00:20:08with nine grades. Maria and Alisa are students here in 9th
00:20:12grade, starting next year they will be forced to commute to another
00:20:15locality to continue their studies in Romanian.
00:20:19I would still like to stay here in my high school, in
00:20:22my native village, because I have spent so many
00:20:26years here. I want to continue
00:20:29my studies here in my mother tongue, not to go to another
00:20:32place. Marinela is the mother of another 9th grade student from
00:20:36Suceava high school.
00:20:43continuing to study in another locality
00:20:47implies daily commuting for the children, which
00:20:50no one guarantees that during
00:20:53the journeys the children
00:20:57will be safe during alarms.
00:21:00And teachers are also dissatisfied that their high school remains only
00:21:04a middle school, that they are not against reforms,
00:21:07no, but anyway I want the children to
00:21:11finish, if they started here in first grade, to finish.
00:21:14Romania officially asked Ukraine to maintain the existing number of
00:21:18schools with Romanian language instruction. and to avoid
00:21:22regressive measures. Our goal now is to preserve our historical
00:21:25network of educational schools.
00:21:29Exceptions should be applied to Romanian
00:21:33minorities, and the principle of non- regression should also be
00:21:36applied to minorities in
00:21:39Ukraine. The Ukrainian side provides assurances that the number of
00:21:4263 schools with Romanian language instruction in the Chernivtsi
00:21:46region will not be modified.
00:21:50in rural areas, in rural areas there must be
00:21:53a compulsory primary school and gymnasium, and therefore
00:21:57it is very important that we adopt the experience of Romania, Suceava
00:22:00County. If I am not mistaken, 98
00:22:03communes in Suceava County. Look, not in
00:22:06every one of your communes there is
00:22:09a lyceum, but there is a primary school and
00:22:12a gymnasium. The TVR team made these recordings in
00:22:15the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine within the TVR Romanian Presence
00:22:19project.
00:22:24A more extensive report on education reform in Ukraine will be
00:22:27broadcast on TVR International
00:22:30soon.
00:22:32The hurricane that hit the Southeast of the United States caused significant casualties and material
00:22:36damage. What is the situation now, find out in just a few
00:22:40moments on the news.
00:22:43The conflict in the Middle East escalated and is causing casualties among civilians. 12
00:22:47people were killed and 300 injured in an attack on
00:22:51Riyadh airport, Saudi Arabia's large-scale ground offensive in
00:22:54Yemen received bloody ballistic missile responses from
00:22:57Houthi rebels on Gulf capitals. The attack on
00:23:01Riyadh airport was condemned in harsh terms by the United States,
00:23:04which is still evaluating a possible military intervention in
00:23:08Yemen. Iranian-backed Houthi rebels
00:23:11again attacked deep into Saudi Arabian territory, specifically
00:23:15targeting Riyadh International Airport, where 12
00:23:18people died, including a pilot and an American citizen.
00:23:22The Houthis ordered employees of the oil giant Aramco to evacuate
00:23:26refineries, announcing that these are the next major
00:23:29targets. The entire situation was discussed last night in the UN
00:23:33Security Council. that it will not allow
00:23:36Yemen to be turned into a platform
00:23:39to threaten its security or threaten freedom of navigation
00:23:43in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab. Also,
00:23:46it is unacceptable for militias to impose.
00:24:22Islamabad decided to supplement the military contingents
00:24:25already stationed in Saudi Arabia. The main role of
00:24:28these soldiers is strictly defensive, being deployed
00:24:32to protect Saudi borders and the holy
00:24:35cities of Mecca and Medina. Turkey currently
00:24:38offers logistical support, and the United States has not yet
00:24:41made a decision regarding military support for Saudi
00:24:44Arabia.
00:24:57The Saudi Crown Prince is seeking help, including from Syria, whom
00:25:00he asked to send fighters to Yemen. The leader from Damascus
00:25:04would, in return, like Saudi Arabia to equip the Syrian
00:25:08army and a promise that his country would be included
00:25:11in the Mecca Alliance. The countdown has begun
00:25:14until the American midterm elections and Republicans are doing
00:25:18worse than ever in polls. Analysis and polling
00:25:21platforms from overseas show that in October, Democrats
00:25:25have an average lead of eight percentage points. In the Senate race
00:25:29there are four key states, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, and
00:25:32Florida. In Ohio and North Carolina, Democrats lead decisively, in
00:25:36Texas it's a tie, and in Florida, the Republican candidate
00:25:39has a two-point lead. As for the president, Americans trust
00:25:43Donald Trump by 30%. Polls also
00:25:47show a large number of undecided voters before next
00:25:50month's election.
00:25:53The Southeast United States was hit hard by a hurricane. At least four people
00:25:57died, and over 70,000 homes were left without
00:26:00electricity. Florida, Georgia, and Alabama are under a state of emergency
00:26:04while emergency crews try to limit damage and
00:26:07restore power
00:26:09supply.
00:26:17Nature unleashed on the southeast coast of the United States resulted in
00:26:21casualties, significant material damage, and over
00:26:2370,000 homes were left in darkness. Powerful

00:26:45In Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, a state of emergency was declared due to

00:26:52thousands of people were evacuated, after nature calmed down, the intervention
00:26:55teams and residents of the affected areas have already started to clean
00:26:59up, thousands of energy sector workers are trying... to restore

00:27:15The hurricane made landfall with violent gusts of wind and torrential rains, then
00:27:19weakened in intensity and was reclassified as a post-tropical
00:27:22cyclone. When Rafael reached land, a flock of flamingos took
00:27:26shelter in a bathroom in Panama City. Although it lost
00:27:28intensity, the danger has not passed. Tornadoes and floods continue
00:27:32to threaten the Southeast of the United States. The World Health
00:27:36Organization maintains that the reasons why an employee of a laboratory in
00:27:39Siberia died of pneumonia and no case of plague have
00:27:42been confirmed remain unclear. Russia officially announced that the results
00:27:46of tests performed on the deceased's body and on the people she came into contact with
00:27:50are negative for pneumonic plague and other dangerous
00:27:53pathogens. However, these analyses cannot be independently verified and the entire
00:27:57case is shrouded in mystery, at least in terms of official information. Globally,
00:28:01between 2009 and 2025, over 3800
00:28:04suspected cases of plague were reported, especially in Southern
00:28:08Africa. The disease has never been eradicated and persists in animals.
00:28:12The difference from the Middle Ages is that there are now much more
00:28:15efficient diagnostic and treatment methods.
00:28:19Pope Leo will undergo surgery after doctors detected
00:28:22a nodule in one of his lungs. The announcement was made by
00:28:26the Pontiff himself, who said that the operation will take place in the coming days.
00:28:30He specified that the nodule was discovered in time and that it was precisely localized.
00:28:34The Vatican explained that post-operative recovery will take a week, during
00:28:38which all the Pope's activities and official audiences will be
00:28:41suspended. The apostolic visit scheduled in Latin America
00:28:45at the beginning of next month remains valid. Doctors are
00:28:48optimistic that the 71-year-old pontiff will recover by
00:28:52then.
