00:00:11from TVR Timișoara joins
00:00:40It's 8 o'clock, good morning, we're back to Matinal news and we also greet Romanians
00:00:44from abroad because we are live on TVR International. Let's see
00:00:48some of the topics we are focusing on this
00:00:51morning.
00:00:53Designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu continues negotiations for the formation of the new government
00:00:57today. He has scheduled meetings with USR and the authorities, after
00:01:01last week he spoke with
00:01:03way. We are not yet talking about PSD, PNL and UDMR. By Thursday, Niculescu must finalize
00:01:06the governing program and the list
00:01:08of ministers.
00:01:11Approximately 40% of Romanians borrow almost monthly to
00:01:16improving milk cover their current expenses, and less than half manage to save. Family
00:01:20budgets are increasingly difficult to balance due to the rising cost of living
00:01:23day by day.
00:01:26Changing weather starting today. This
00:01:30morning it's raining, especially in the south of the country, in the
00:01:33Muntenia area. What to expect at lunchtime, we'll tell you in a few
00:01:37moments.
00:01:45Perfumes, clothes and cosmetics bought with the institution's money, as well as
00:01:48direct contracts worth millions of lei. These are the irregularities reported
00:01:52by the administration, by the National Meteorological Administration following checks by the control body
00:01:56of the Ministry of Environment. Diana Buzoianu demands the resignation of the head.
00:02:00Cerici announces that the report will be sent to the General Prosecutor's Office and the Court of Accounts.
00:02:03ANM director Elena Mateescu claims that she did not use the institutional
00:02:07card and did not approve illegal acquisitions. She states
00:02:11that she ordered an internal audit and notified the police since August after
00:02:14the discovery of irregularities. Last night on the show "Corridors of Power"
00:02:18on TVR Info, the Minister of Environment also spoke about contracts that were
00:02:22allegedly awarded with dedication to two companies. Diana Buzoianu
00:02:25claims that the acquisitions department is under the direct subordination of Elena
00:02:29Matei. and that she would have signed the disputed
00:02:32acquisitions.
00:02:35The control body actually brought to light many more
00:02:38problems than just this part of unjustified
00:02:42expenses from cards. One of
00:02:45the essential things that came to light was that in recent years, contracts were
00:02:49awarded with dedication to two companies,
00:02:53practically affiliated with ANM,
00:02:56contracts worth millions were awarded through
00:03:00direct acquisition, although there are very clear
00:03:03limits for what you can do by direct acquisition, an amount of
00:03:07270,000 RON. So,
00:03:10we practically see how the money was used, including to
00:03:14favor, let's say, some
00:03:15are waiting in line, and in-house companies close to this institution. And I just
00:03:19want to mention that Ms. Director Mateescu has the acquisitions
00:03:22department directly under her subordination. So
00:03:26all these acquisitions were signed at some
00:03:30point by her as well, no matter how much she wants to exclude herself from this
00:03:33process. A decisive week begins
00:03:37for the formation of the new government. Designated Prime Minister Luca Nicolescu will have other
00:03:41discussions with the leaders of the parliamentary parties. First, he will go to
00:03:44USR, then he will meet with representatives of national
00:03:47minorities, as well as those of other political formations. By Thursday, he must
00:03:51have the governing program and the list of ministers ready to
00:03:54ask for the vote of support in parliament. Our colleague Alina
00:03:58Orocean joins us with more
00:04:02information. Alina, good
00:04:03to see you.
00:04:06Good to see you, Luca Niculescu resumes today discussions for the formation
00:04:10of a majority. At 12:00 he will meet with
00:04:13USR representatives to ask for support, although the leaders
00:04:17of this political formation have said many times that they do not want to support Luca
00:04:21Niculescu because they consider him close to the Social Democratic Party
00:04:24or because he was supported in the past by the Social Democratic Party.
00:04:28Thus, USR would rather want to organize
00:04:32early elections. At 2:00 PM however, the designated prime minister will
00:04:36also meet with representatives of the group of national minorities, at
00:04:394:00 PM with representatives of the Pace group, and at
00:04:435:00 PM he will have discussions with the leaders
00:04:46of the United for Romania group. Luca
00:04:48Nicolescu is also considering asking for the support of unaffiliated parliamentarians
00:04:53attention, the reduction reaches because every vote counts and it is very difficult to gather the
00:04:55233 votes, but today is an important day for
00:04:59the Social Democratic Party. They are expected to offer a final answer regarding
00:05:03the eventual support of the government or joining the government. At
00:05:0710:30 AM the Social Democrats will have a
00:05:10meeting, but according to sources, they maintain their point of view,
00:05:14meaning they would like to join the government only with PNL and
00:05:17UDMR, otherwise they will not support a technocrat government
00:05:21or a single-party government of the Social
00:05:24Democratic Party. Today a final answer will come from
00:05:27the PSD and a final answer is also expected from the National
00:05:31Liberal Party. Ilie Blojan we know well that he said until now
00:05:34that PNL will offer a vote of
00:05:38a technocrat government, but he does
00:05:41not want the formation he leads to join
00:05:45the government. A busy day for the former independent
00:05:49candidate in the presidential elections, Călin Georgescu has a busy schedule
00:05:53from the early hours of the morning. In a short time he will be taken to Diicot
00:05:56where the computer searches continue. An hour later he will
00:06:00arrive at the Bucharest Tribunal where he asks for the replacement of pre-trial detention with judicial
00:06:04control. And at 12 o'clock he is expected at the Bucharest
00:06:07Court of Appeal, where a new term is scheduled in the case in which he is accused
00:06:11of attempted
00:06:13coup. Serious traffic accident in
00:06:17Mihăiești locality in Vâlcea county. Attention, these are images that
00:06:21may emotionally affect you. Three people died and two were seriously
00:06:24injured and taken to the hospital. Two cars were involved in the accident
00:06:28with five people inside. Three of the victims remained trapped and firefighters
00:06:32intervened to extract them. Two of the extracted people were
00:06:36conscious and cooperative. However, the third one was declared
00:06:39deceased. The two seriously injured victims were reported
00:06:43to the emergency reception unit in Vâlcea. Firefighters, SMURD teams and
00:06:46ambulances intervened at the scene. Winter is at the door, and the wave of
00:06:50respiratory viruses is starting to claim more and more victims among
00:06:54the population. Family doctors warn that hospitals and
00:06:57clinics are filling up with patients with severe fever conditions that lead
00:07:00to entire days of absence from work and serious complications
00:07:03for children and the elderly. Doctors insist that the most effective method of
00:07:07protection against severe forms of illness remains
00:07:11timely flu vaccination before the outbreak of the seasonal
00:07:14epidemic. The vaccine is free or compensated for vulnerable categories,
00:07:18including people with chronic illnesses, children and the elderly,
00:07:21and can be prescribed directly by the family doctor. Specialists recommend
00:07:25citizens to avoid crowds, maintain rigorous
00:07:28hand hygiene and consult a doctor immediately at the
00:07:32first symptoms of illness, without resorting to self-medication with antibiotics.
00:07:36Iași is these days
00:07:37the capital of Orthodoxy, thousands of
00:07:40believers come to pray at the relics of Saint Parascheva and
00:07:44Saint Paisie of Sihăstria. Authorities say that this year a
00:07:47record participation was registered at the patronal feast of the patron saint
00:07:51of Moldova. Our colleague Laura Lucescu joins
00:07:54us from Iași with details. Laura, good to see you.
00:07:58Good morning, good to see everyone.
00:07:59Pilgrims came here to Iași from all
00:08:04corners of the country, they came by train, by personal car or by
00:08:08coaches. Some waited 15 hours in a row
00:08:11to reach the canopy with the relics of Saint Parascheva here in the courtyard
00:08:15of the Metropolitan Cathedral.
00:08:19Of course, in the meantime things have changed a bit. The queue
00:08:23is shorter now. 6500 people
00:08:28the queue stretches, as I said, for more than 3 km, and the waiting time
00:08:32has decreased to 5 hours. In total, over
00:08:35120,000 people have passed by the reliquary so far.
00:08:38The pilgrimage also came with medical interventions, over
00:08:41950 people needed care, 39
00:08:45of them were transported to the hospital. Last night, one
00:08:48of the most important moments of the feast took place, the procession of the
00:08:52Way of the Saints. The reliquaries with the relics of Saint Parascheva and Saint
00:08:55Paisie of Sihăstria were carried on the shoulders of priests through
00:08:59the streets of the city center. Last year,
00:09:0327,500 people participated
00:09:05in the procession of the Way of the Saints, authorities say
00:09:08that last night 3,000 were registered. For
00:09:12approximately an hour and a half, veneration at the relics in the
00:09:16canopy was interrupted, and from 8:30 PM,
00:09:20the relics of the two saints were placed back in
00:09:24the canopy and veneration resumed.
00:09:27The pilgrimage continues here in Iași and we will return with
00:09:29details. Laura Lucescu live, thank you very much for
00:09:33all this
00:09:34information.
00:09:38The energy armistice announced by Donald Trump did not prevent new Russian
00:09:41attacks on Ukraine. A power plant in Kharkiv was hit
00:09:45just a few hours after the American president's message. In Kyiv,
00:09:49half of the city was left without electricity, and residents are
00:09:52warned that they could be without power, heating and
00:09:55water for days.
00:09:57Diesel could become cheaper in Romania after the agreement between Donald Trump and
00:10:01Vladimir Putin, but the reduction depends on the evolution of deliveries,
00:10:05the dollar exchange rate and the taxes applied. According to a simulation,
00:10:08drivers could save 11 RON for a full tank of 50 liters.
00:10:12We will detail everything
00:10:13immediately.
00:10:22The weather landscape is changing radically starting today. The change
00:10:25has already begun, meteorologists say that at least in the south
00:10:29of the country it is already raining and will rain in the coming hours. What is happening in the rest of the country, will it be colder, exactly, what is happening in the rest of
00:10:33the country, we see and our colleague Dana Iancu tells us right
00:10:36now, Dana, we prayed for this, but
00:10:39here we have a yellow code for abundant rains in the southeast
00:10:43of the country until tomorrow, so we expect quite significant
00:10:47adverse conditions quantitatively, some wind gusts and falling
00:10:51temperatures, although you noticed. The morning wasn't really very cold,
00:10:55it's not true, but it will gradually get colder in the next few hours,
00:10:58and the maximum will not exceed 15° today in the capital,
00:11:01we still have some time, let's see what is happening at this moment, we have
00:11:05a cold morning in the depressions with frost and fog, at this
00:11:09moment 10° is registered in Suceava, 13° in Iași,
00:11:12the clouds have already arrived and it has started to rain, Constanța,
00:11:1517° with a little sun, capital 15°, at the moment,
00:11:19we have cloudy skies, 12° in
00:11:22Craiova, the rest of the country a little better, because the sun is present
00:11:25in the sky, but not for long, however the temperatures are much
00:11:29lower, 9° in Timișoara, 5° in Arad, 8° in
00:11:33Oradea, and in the center of the country we are limited to 9° in Cluj, Napoca,
00:11:36Sibiu, 11°, the clouds have already covered the sky here too
00:11:40and Brașov, 12°.
00:11:43Let's see where it's coldest and
00:11:46warmest at this moment, look, the warmest is in
00:11:49Sulina, 19°, where you saw that the sun has already appeared in Constanța.
00:11:53and the coldest is in Banat, four in Banat
00:11:57in Banlock at 4°, exactly as I told you in the west of the country, temperatures have started to drop
00:12:01considerably, but today the maximum temperatures will be between
00:12:0313° in the depressions where it will remain
00:12:07cold, frost and fog, especially in the morning and
00:12:1123°, look in Dobrogea, milder
00:12:14temperatures, but remember to take your umbrella from home.
00:12:18Dana, thank you for all this information and the energy
00:12:22truce promised by Russia, which Donald Trump wrote about, lasted
00:12:26for a short time. The thermal power plant in Kharkiv was the target
00:12:29of a massive attack approximately three hours after the US President's
00:12:33post. We warn you, there will be images and information that may
00:12:42people died and 25 were injured in a strike on
00:12:46the suburbs of Kharkiv. Among the victims were three children. Several
00:12:50apartments, cars and a grocery store were destroyed. In fact,
00:12:53Ukraine had no information about the energy truce
00:12:57announced by Trump, a high-ranking official quoted by the Kyiv
00:13:01press stated. The capital of Ukraine is on alert after
00:13:04half of the city was left without electricity. A high-voltage power
00:13:08line was damaged in a Russian attack, and water pressure
00:13:12dropped throughout the network. Residents were warned to prepare
00:13:15for at least three days without electricity, heating
00:13:19or running water. Europeans are hypocrites,
00:13:23is the defense built by the US
00:13:27Treasury Secretary around the Trump administration's decision
00:13:31to greenlight Russian diesel deliveries. The institution
00:13:34that practically manages sanctions against Moscow issued
00:13:38the temporary authorization that allows imports of Russian diesel
00:13:41until the first week of April 2027.
00:13:45the Iranian regime
00:13:47because they tried
00:13:55to have a choke point on the straight of hormoos, that didn't work,
00:13:58they tried to have a choke point on diesel prices, now that's not
00:14:02working, and charly is just as you said, the
00:14:05Europeans have given the Russians more money,
00:14:08they have since the start of this war than they have given the Ukrainians, because they
00:14:12cannot win themselves off Russian energy, they had
00:14:16a failed energy policy and Vladimir
00:14:20Putin, the uh they continue to fund him,
00:14:23so for them to say that we cannot have
00:14:27a respit in diesel pricing,
00:14:30diesel in Romania could become
00:14:32cheaper after the Trump-Putin
00:14:36agreement, but driver gains depend on three
00:14:39things: first, actual deliveries, the dollar exchange rate, and
00:14:43taxes in Romania. The effect comes through
00:14:46the international market, if additional fuel appears, distributors can
00:14:49buy cheaper, including for Romania. If Russia only
00:14:53changes buyers, the global deficit remains, warns
00:14:56the Intelligent Energy Association. The concrete calculation made by the Association:
00:15:00a reduction of 50 $/ton at a hypothetical
00:15:04exchange rate of 4.5 RON for one dollar, means approximately 19
00:15:07bani per liter before VAT, with VAT it results in about 23 bani,
00:15:11meaning 11 RON, saved for a 50-liter tank
00:15:15if,
00:15:18the pump in full. This is a new simulation.
00:15:21The excise duty can change the result. In the broader
00:15:25scenario presented by the Intelligent Energy Association, diesel could reach
00:15:2810-10.4 RON per liter with the excise duty reduction
00:15:32maintained or 10.5- 6.8 without it. These intervals
00:15:35include several
00:15:38hypotheses, not just the American agreement, and a weaker RON against
00:15:41the dollar can absorb part of the external price reduction. America
00:15:45exports diesel, but it
00:15:49has regional imbalances, on the east coast, stocks were in
00:15:51September 32% below the seasonal average, according to the American
00:15:55energy agency. Imports can help this region, the total
00:15:59economy promised to Americans remains unknown at this time,
00:16:02and analysts. let's open a parenthesis, analysts say that
00:16:06the impact of this decision is marginal. Well, for
00:16:09Romania, the analysis reduces
00:16:13things in this scenario, but we must
00:16:16weigh both effects, a
00:16:20possible, a possible cheaper fuel and a Moscow that
00:16:23can sell its fuel more
00:16:26easily. European sanctions remain in force,
00:16:29pump savings can help transport and agriculture.
00:16:33The safety from the British border, on the other hand,
00:16:36remains part of the same bill that we, along with all
00:16:39Europeans, have to pay.
00:16:43The most comprehensive list of sanctions against Russia is today
00:16:45submitted for attention to the foreign ministers of the European Union gathered in
00:16:49Luxembourg. Around 1600 measures target only Moscow's defense
00:16:52industry, companies and organizations in shipbuilding,
00:16:56aviation, electronics and the aerospace sector. This is the largest
00:17:00list of sanctions ever presented for analysis at the community
00:17:04bloc level. The agenda of today's meeting also includes the escalation
00:17:07of Russia's hybrid campaign and security challenges in the Black
00:17:11Sea. Romania will also welcome, through the voice of the foreign minister,
00:17:14the opening of new negotiation chapters with the Republic of Moldova and
00:17:18Ukraine. NATO is preparing its defense for
00:17:22potential Russian escalations
00:17:25through deterrence measures, preventing threats and
00:17:29the ability to react quickly. In this strategy, Ukraine plays
00:17:32an essential role. "I see uh Ukraine as
00:17:36essential to Euro-atlantic security
00:17:39and I think uh the Ukrainians are proving right
00:17:43now to us uh that they are becoming security provider as opposed to someone
00:17:47who is just taking donations uh
00:17:49but I think they are contributing to our security and they're going to continue to do so in the
00:17:53in the years to come.
00:17:57Conflict over the future European budget and Romania could be directly
00:17:59affected. The Irish Presidency of the Union wants an 8%
00:18:03reduction compared to the Commission's proposal for the next seven
00:18:06years. Other countries, led by Germany, want an even smaller
00:18:10budget. France, on the other hand, advocates for an increase in community funds
00:18:13together with 17 other beneficiary states of European
00:18:17funds. Romania will oppose the cuts.
00:18:20Ireland, which holds the rotating
00:18:22presidency of the European Union, has proposed an
00:18:258% reduction in the European Commission's budget for the period
00:18:282028-2034. The amount would be
00:18:321.6 trillion euros. This is a compromise
00:18:36formula, six countries led by Germany, those that contribute
00:18:39substantially to the community budget, demand even larger
00:18:42reductions of hundreds of millions of euros. Romanian MEPs fear that
00:18:46key areas for Romanian infrastructure and economy would receive
00:18:50much smaller funding in the coming years. Romania currently
00:18:53depends on European funds for public investments.
00:18:56Six out of 10 public investments in
00:18:59Romania were made with European money. because these European
00:19:03funds translated into modernized schools and hospitals, as well as
00:19:06funding for farmers, and in this proposal it is evident
00:19:10that cohesion policy and the common agricultural policy would be
00:19:14the policies that would suffer the most. I am the
00:19:17author of the proposal to tax
00:19:21online betting platforms, only
00:19:24this proposal would bring to the common European budget
00:19:28approximately 24 billion euros, an amount
00:19:31that corresponds to the Erasmus program. Other sources of
00:19:35funding could come from taxing cryptocurrencies, as well as from deferring
00:19:38the payment of loans made by the European Commission under
00:19:42the recovery and resilience mechanism, more precisely from
00:19:45the time of the pandemic. Together with 16 other beneficiary countries
00:19:49of European funds from the Friends of Cohesion Group, Romania wants
00:19:52to negotiate a more solid budget for the coming years.
00:19:56Romania will certainly reject this proposal for a cut from the
00:19:59Irish Presidency, because it goes even
00:20:03below the European Commission's proposal, and
00:20:06we in the European Parliament asked for an increase
00:20:09of this budget by 10%. I think there will be a
00:20:13very tough negotiation stage between member states and the
00:20:16European Union cannot do more with less money. The multiannual budget
00:20:20of the European Union must be voted by all 27 member
00:20:24states to be adopted. Heads of state and government should reach
00:20:27a compromise by the end of this
00:20:31year. The saving capacity
00:20:33of Romanians is increasingly vulnerable
00:20:37to the growing pressures on family budgets,
00:20:40this in conditions where the increase in monthly costs constantly
00:20:44reduces the amounts available after covering essential
00:20:47expenses. Media shows that less than half of Romanians
00:20:50still manage to save very small amounts, while approximately
00:20:5440% borrow almost monthly to cover usual
00:20:58expenses. Our colleague Luiza Târcă
00:21:01us with details. Luiza, good to see you.
00:21:04Good morning. The latest data from
00:21:09the National Institute of Statistics shows that a percentage of almost
00:21:1385% of a family's monthly income went in the second
00:21:16quarter of this year, towards current
00:21:20expenses, necessary in that month, with
00:21:23635 RON more than in the first
00:21:27quarter of the year. We talked to several people to
00:21:30see how they are coping financially and we met
00:21:34young, qualified people with higher education, one of whom said
00:21:37that she lost her job and changed four
00:21:40jobs this year. Another person who has a job
00:21:43and in addition is involved in several projects for
00:21:46supplementary income to support herself, we also met older
00:21:50people, who say that they would not cope without
00:21:53the help of their children. In
00:21:57this context, there are some
00:22:00people, almost half of Romanians, who, as you have
00:22:03seen, manage to save very little money and not
00:22:06always monthly, and people who no longer manage to save
00:22:10at all. In these conditions. Specialists explain that,
00:22:14although we are going through a difficult financial period, it is even more
00:22:18important to save money, even if we no longer manage to save
00:22:21larger amounts, as was the case before, and
00:22:25for this it is very important to
00:22:28review the budget for that month, the budget allocated to
00:22:31expenses and to cut those expenses that are not
00:22:34necessary, to avoid impulsive purchases and to postpone those acquisitions
00:22:38that are not urgent. Also extremely important
00:22:41is the emergency budget, those savings that we make
00:22:45for unforeseen situations, for urgent situations, when the car
00:22:48breaks down, for example, and repairs are necessary.
00:22:52If the washing machine breaks down or if there is a need for an
00:22:55emergency medical intervention, and the insurance does not
00:22:59cover all the costs or does not cover the costs at all, and the
00:23:02safety budget. that budget, those
00:23:06funds that we put aside, equivalent to
00:23:09three, four salaries or monthly income,
00:23:12so that we are covered in case we lose our income, to
00:23:16have three, four months at most
00:23:20to find solutions.
00:23:23Thank you very much for all this
00:23:26information. Drivers
00:23:28who want to buy hybrid cars in China may have to wait
00:23:32longer for some brands and models. The announcement comes
00:23:36from car dealers, after the European Union and China reached an agreement to
00:23:39reduce exports to the community market. The measure was expected
00:23:41by major European car manufacturers as the market share of Chinese
00:23:45hybrid cars has grown significantly in recent
00:23:48years. Gheorghe Ion is from Ploiești and would like to buy a car.
00:23:52și China au ajuns la acord pentru reducerea exporturilor pe piața
00:23:56comunitară. Măsura era așteptată de marii producători auto europeni în
00:24:00condițiile în care cota de piață a autoturismelor hibrid chinezești a
00:24:03crescut semnificativ în ultimii ani.
00:24:07to buy a hybrid Chinese
00:24:10car. He came to the Bucharest auto show to see what offers the
00:24:14dealers have. He says he has several reasons why he turned to
00:24:18Chinese manufacturers. The price seems more
00:24:21affordable than cars from Europe, they seem more affordable in
00:24:25price, they offer a larger number
00:24:29of kilometers for electric range than what we were used to on the European
00:24:32market. In recent years, Romanian drivers have become increasingly interested in
00:24:36Chinese cars. In September alone, out of over
00:24:401100 new cars registered in our country, almost
00:24:431900, which is approximately 17% of the total,
00:24:47belonged to Chinese brands. Moreover,
00:24:50a major Chinese car manufacturer climbed to fourth place in the sales
00:24:54top. This is shown by the latest official statistics. And in
00:24:58Europe, the market share of vehicles from China has increased substantially.
00:25:02For Plug-in Hybrid cars, it increased from 2% in
00:25:052024 to 25% in the first
00:25:086 months of this year. So the authorities have taken measures to
00:25:12protect local industry. The European Union reached an agreement
00:25:16with China to limit hybrid car exports to the market.
00:25:50in Europe, so that they have a production line
00:25:54in Europe as well. This could stimulate future
00:25:58sales, because
00:26:01existing customers could purchase the current
00:26:04models. The buyer will always have the last word, as long as the commercial
00:26:08offer is more competitive, the buyer
00:26:11will set the trend. Representatives of
00:26:14the European automotive industry expect the trade agreement to temper
00:26:18the sudden increase in imports from China.
00:26:22Odorless goat milk, well the scientists from Botoșani say
00:26:25that they found the solution. After almost 10 years of experiments, they managed to obtain
00:26:29a new breed of goats with fatter milk but with
00:26:33a taste and smell that will please even the most reluctant consumers. The animals could
00:26:36soon reach farms all over the country after the homologation of the new
00:26:40breed.
00:26:46At first glance, they seem like ordinary goats, in reality, they are
00:26:49the result of carefully controlled experiments. Since
00:26:532017, local goats have been crossbred with males of the
00:26:56Anglo-Nubian breed. At the Popăuți research station, there are now
00:27:00specimens from the third generation obtained in this
00:27:06a breed, we are just talking about a population now.
00:27:09The main characteristic we are working on now,
00:27:13acum,
00:27:16is milk production,
00:27:19production, we are talking about fat percentage and quantity. The idea
00:27:22of having in the north-east of Romania
00:27:26a biological creation
00:27:29specific to the climatic zone
00:27:32and
00:27:35a
00:27:37breed created in our area came to me from the very first years, because here
00:27:41I found a lot of undefined goats as a breed. The most
00:27:45important achievement of this project is the quality of the milk. The specialists
00:27:49aimed to increase the fat content, important for
00:27:52cheeses, but especially to eliminate the specific taste and
00:27:55smell that keep some consumers
00:27:58away. If I were to milk
00:28:01goat milk from this
00:28:03Anglo-Nubian breed and
00:28:07give it to a consumer to drink, without saying where it's from, they certainly wouldn't
00:28:10realize it's goat milk.
00:28:13The project was initiated with the station's own funds, but the promising
00:28:17results attracted the financial support of the Academy of
00:28:20Agricultural Sciences and the Ministry of Agriculture.
00:28:24Researchers hope that this new biological creation will be homologated
00:28:28soon and will reach farms all
00:28:30over the country.
00:28:38I have prepared some news for you, no more good to comment on. Romania is in
00:28:42first place in the European Union for domestic tourism.
00:28:4589% of Romanians' trips were made in the country in
00:28:482025, according to Eurostat data. The top is completed by
00:28:52Spain, Greece and France. A Romanian woman was
00:28:55mugged in a Milan metro station by two men who
00:28:59initially offered to help her. The two offered to carry
00:29:02the stroller in which her two-year-old son was, then they
00:29:06snatched the chain from her neck and an earring. The suspects, two young
00:29:09Egyptians, were arrested by the Italian police.
00:29:13Americans are building houses from rice
00:29:16husks, considered until recently agricultural waste, rice
00:29:19husks are transformed into building materials
00:29:22resistant to moisture, pests and fire. A
00:29:25company in the United States has recycled over 9 million kilograms of
00:29:29rice husks to date. The tallest
00:29:33wind turbine in the world was erected in Germany, it can
00:29:36power 7500 homes with electricity for a whole
00:29:39year, designed and built by a company in
00:29:42Germany, the turbine represents a major technical innovation
00:29:46designed to capture the strong wind that blows over
00:29:49300 meters above the ground, and a hotel in
00:29:52Italy filled up with tourists at the only gas station
00:29:56in the locality. The hotel owner transformed the customers'
00:29:59recent concern into a marketing campaign, but
00:30:03the "weekend with a full tank" offer was limited and
00:30:06quickly
