03:41Ilya Yashin's opposition party influence Russia's domestic political situation
03:54while operating from exile.
03:56This is a very difficult task, because we are in Europe, but we plan to work in Russia.

04:07Our main audience is in Russia.

04:36but a person who can combine people from different regions,

05:12Thousands of Albanians rallied across the capital, Tirana, Saturday,
05:16against a luxury tourism project worth nearly 4 billion euros,
05:22which is planned in a protected coastal area in the Adriatic Sea.
05:27The project, linked to an investment scheme run by Jared Kushner,
05:31son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump,
05:34involves the development of a hotel complex on an abandoned island
05:38and adjacent the coastline.
05:40Demonstrators took to the streets in a nightly protest,
05:43blowing whistles and holding cardboard cutouts of flamingos,
05:48one of the protected migratory bird species
05:50that could see their habitats threatened by the proposed luxury resorts.
05:55The Albanian government claims the investment
05:58will transform the country's tourist map
06:00and strengthen its path to the European Union.
06:03But environmental groups and opposition activists say
06:07there are serious risks.
06:09Prime Minister Eddie Rama defends the project.
06:12He said he will not back down.
06:15Despite Rama's defense of the development,
06:17the protests have guarded pace,
06:19with supporters in Albanian communities
06:21in neighboring Greece and other European countries
06:24also holding rallies.
06:28Romanian President Nikus Ordan nominated career politician
06:32Andrian Vestea, leader of the National Liberal Party
06:35and former development minister to be the country's new prime minister
06:38on Sunday, seeking to end a deep political crisis.
06:42Nomination at the Cotroseni Palace came after Dan's previous pick this month.
06:46Yugen Tomac withdrew his candidacy following his failure
06:49to secure sufficient political support to form a cabinet within 10 days.
06:54I want a political government to accept real reforms
07:04The political turmoil dates back to May when a no-confidence motion
07:08toppled the previous prime minister
07:10after the Social Democratic Party quit the ruling coalition.
07:14The incoming administration faces severe economic challenges
07:17with Romania currently experiencing a technical recession,
07:21rampant inflation,
07:22and one of the highest budget deficits in the European Union.
07:29The smart mobility revolution in Italy starts in Naples.
07:32The Naples' Tancanziale has become Italy's first road infrastructure
07:36to earn official smart road certification
07:38from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.
07:41The network utilizes advanced technology for real-time monitoring
07:44and communication with connected and self-driving vehicles.
07:49This initiative stems from a partnership between Tancanziale di Napoli,
07:53the National Center for Sustainable Mobility,
07:56and the ASFI Group.
07:58The project transforms one of the southern Italy's primary urban arteries
08:02into a national model for transport innovation.
08:05Sensors capable of collecting traffic data have been installed along the entire network,
08:10used by traffic control center operators in traffic management decisions.
08:14This approach enables preventive action reducing congestion.
08:17In addition, weather stations and dedicated sensors collect data on rainfall,
08:22pavement condition, water levels, and surrounding land conditions
08:26to detect potential flooding, landslides, or other hazardous phenomena at an early stage.
08:34What's really new is that connected vehicles can directly receive information about accidents,
08:39construction sites, obstacles, weather conditions, and road characteristics
08:44while at the same time transmitting data to the infrastructure
08:48for much more immediate knowledge of traffic conditions.
08:59The number of personal injury accidents caused by electric scooters in Hungary
09:03increased by more than 70% last year compared to the previous year,
09:07and the statistics have since worsened as the number of scooters has increased.
09:11According to data from the National Ambulance Service,
09:14more than 1,100 people were injured in electric scooter accidents,
09:18including almost 450 children, by the end of May this year.
09:22It is estimated that there are between 100 and 120,000 electric scooters in circulation in Hungary.
09:28The danger is that many people ride them fast,
09:31without helmets, and not always in a sober state.
09:33The president of the Future Mobility Association says
09:36the biggest problem is that there is no regulation that applies specifically to these vehicles.
09:42In the normal electric field,
09:43the 25-meter-s full-time power of the 25-meter,
09:45the 25-meter, the 25-meter, the 25-meter,
09:46the 20-meter, the 20-meter, the 20-meter, the 20-meter, the 20-meter, the 20-meter, the 20
09:48-meter, the 20-meter.
09:48It is absolutely comfortable.
09:51A mi tapasztalataink azt mutatják, hogy alapvetően a rolleresek nagy része szabálykövető.
09:55Nyilván van közöttük olyan, aki rugalmasabban kezéli a szabályokat,
09:59de hogyha lenne egy olyan keretrendszer,
10:01amit megfelelő edukációval minél szélesebb körben el lehetne juttatni a rájderekhez,
10:05akkor azt gondolom, hogy sokkal kevesebb baleset lenne.
10:08És emellett nagyon fontos lenne az is, hogy nem csak a rendvédelmi szervek,
10:12hanem az egyébként nem rollerrel közlekedők, például az autósok, vagy kerékpárosok,
10:15vagy ne egy isten, akár a gyalogolok is tisztában legyenek azzal, hogy hol találkozhatnak szembe rolleresel a városban.
10:21According to Transport Minister David Vitezi,
10:24the regulation of electric scooters is such an important issue
10:27that it cannot wait for a comprehensive amendment of the Highway Code,
10:31but must be addressed sooner.
10:33He proposes a separate phase for the rules on high-powered scooters
10:36because of the increasing number and severity of accidents.
10:40Other European cities are facing similar challenges.
10:42In London, where e-scooters operate under a tightly regulated rental scheme,
10:47more than 2 million trips were recorded last year and serious injuries remain rare.
10:52But concerns persist over pavement clutter, accessibility
10:54and the widespread illegal use of private scooters,
10:57showing that regulation alone is not a complete solution.
