A hearing was held in the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina to extend the custody of the accused Zijad Mutap, Alisa Ramić Mutap, Hasan Dupovac, Josip Barić and Muamer Ožegović, who are charged with hiding evidence and covering up the murder of Dženan Memić.
The Court of B&amp;H has extended the prohibitive measures in the case of Dženan Memić and everyone will defend themselves from freedom.

Prosecutor Dubravko Čampara corrected his proposal and emphasized that the Appellate Panel of the Court of B&amp;H has already decided to impose prohibitive measures on the accused and that the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H agrees with that.

The prosecutor said that he was proposing that Mutap and Dupovac be ordered to leave their place of residence, with the police obligatorily checking whether they were complying with the measures. Also, the prosecution requested that a measure prohibiting mutual meetings between the accused and contact of any kind be imposed.
The Defense agreed with the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H that at this stage of the proceedings, detention is not ordered, but prohibitive measures.
Ermin Gačanović, Hasan Dupovac's lawyer, said that his client was provoked in front of the courtroom.
- Hasan Dupovac's sisters greeted him with the usual greeting "my love", to which Arijana Memić told them "your love is going to prison". She is a prosecution witness and I am asking my colleagues to restrain their witnesses - Gačanović stated.

<h2> Alisa Mutap must not leave the Municipality of Stari Grad</h2>

Prosecutor Čampara reacted to this by saying that he would not restrain anyone nor was the term appropriate.

- They are damaged and they deserve to be heard with feelings here because it is human - stated Čampara.
Lawyer Nina Kisić asked the judge to keep in mind that Alisa Ramić Mutap must not leave the Municipality of Stari Grad and that both hospitals are in the center.
Čampara reacted to this by saying that there were a lot of medical workers on the list of witnesses and that she could not go to the Municipality of Centar and those medical institutions.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has extended the prohibitive measures in the case of Dženan Memić, everyone is defending themselves from freedom: "Your love is going to prison"

A hearing began today in the Court of B&amp;H according to the proposal of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H to extend the custody of the accused in the "Zijad Mutap and others" case.
These are the accused for covering up and covering up the murder of Dženan Memić on February 8, 2016 in Ilidža.

The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina is requesting that the accused, who are defending themselves at large, be returned to custody, which can now last up to three years.
The extension of custody was requested with the confirmed indictment of the Court of B&amp;H.
The father of the murdered Dženan, Muriz Memić, his sister Arijana and friends and citizens who want to follow today's hearing arrived at the Court of B&amp;H.

Turkey has successfully contained a total of 167 wildfires that have emerged a week ago, according to the country’s agriculture and forestry minister.

The wildfires took place in 33 of Turkey’s 81 provinces, Bekir Pakdemirli said on Twitter, adding that efforts continue to put out the remaining 16 blazes in seven provinces around southern/southwestern Turkey: Adana, Antalya, Aydin, Denizli, Hatay, Isparta, and Mugla.
In an earlier statement, the Turkish Forestry Directorate said that they responded to wildfires in 98 rural areas with 16 firefighting aircraft, nine unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), 51 helicopters, one unmanned helicopter, 850 firefighter trucks and water tankers, 150 construction vehicles, and 5,250 personnel.
The National Defense Ministry said on Twitter that the Air Force Command continues to provide airspace use permits, monitoring and coordination of flight traffic, and ground support services for fighting the fire.
-In addition, the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of our Air Force Command monitor the fire zones from the air 24/7, and provide instant image transfers- it added.
Turkey’s high-tech drones are playing a key role in battling forest fires now raging in various parts of Turkey.
Turkey’s Forestry Directorate affiliated with the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry uses state-of-the-art technology to shorten the detection, response, and extinguishing time to fight forest fires.
Through extensive surveillance by drones, the size of the fire can be assessed more quickly and a precision response can be done.
Turkish army UAVs get real-time visuals in wildfire-prone areas and share them with a coordination center that sends them to aerial firefighting vehicles, telling them the location and direction of wildfires.
Working to detect and locate fires, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have so far logged 462 hours in the air.​​​​

A German-Iranian woman held in Iran has been given a decade-long jail term by an Iran court for participating in an outlawed group, her daughter said Wednesday, a verdict Germany described as "incomprehensible".

Nahid Taghavi, 66, was given "10 years for membership in an illegal group" and "eight months for propaganda against the regime," her daughter Mariam Claren said.
Taghavi was arrested at her Tehran apartment on October 16 after years fighting for human rights in Iran, in particular for women's rights and freedom of expression, according to the rights group IGFM.
-The conviction and sentence are incomprehensible from a constitutional perspective- Germany's foreign ministry said. 
According to Claren, Taghavi has been held in Tehran's notorious Evin prison, where she recently contracted Covid-19.
Claren has repeatedly flagged up warnings about her mother's health, saying that she suffers from pre-existing conditions including high blood pressure and diabetes.
Germany's foreign ministry said in October that it was aware of the arrest of a German-Iranian woman in Iran, but did not name the detained citizen.
Frank Schwabe, who is the spokesman on human rights issues for the Social Democrats, condemned the verdict.
-The charges are baseless and the verdict a farce- he wrote on Twitter.&nbsp;

France's top administrative court on Wednesday fined the government a record sum for failing to reduce air pollution to acceptable levels.

The Council of State slapped its highest fine ever, 10 million euros ($12 million), on President Emmanuel Macron's government, warning it would do so again within months if the authorities failed to act quickly to combat smog.
The Court, which has become increasingly watchful over the government's environmental record, said measures decided by the government were insufficient to improve air quality, because some might not actually be implemented, and their likely effects had not been properly evaluated.
Last year, the Council ruled that the government had failed to implement a court order dating from 2017 to curb air pollution levels, and gave it six months to take corrective action or face a 10-million-euro fine every six months until air quality improves.
With the six-month deadline having elapsed, the Council is now implementing its threat.
Air pollution is believed to cause 40,000 premature deaths in France per year.
The Court said that pollution by nitrogen dioxide -- produced by fossil fuel combustion, notably by cars -- was still excessive in five urban areas: Paris, Lyon, Marseille-Aix, Toulouse and Grenoble.
It also singled out Paris for persistently high levels of PM10 micro particle pollution.
The Court said it will examine air pollution levels again at the start of 2022 and could impose another fine which could come in "above or below" the latest one, depending on the outcome.
The Council said the fine issued Wednesday would be mostly shared among various anti-air pollution agencies.
NGO Friends of the Earth, which launched the pollution lawsuit against the government, will get 100,000 euros, the judges ruled.

Fire-fighting resources from EU nations are on their way to Greece, Italy, Albania and Northern Macedonia to help fight forest blazes, the EU crisis management commissioner said on Wednesday.

-We are working around the clock to send help as fires rage across Europe- commissioner Janez Lenarcic said in a statement.
-I thank Cyprus, Czechia, France, Slovenia and the Netherlands for swiftly deploying firefighting airplanes, helicopters and a team of firefighters to support countries heavily affected by forest fires.-The dispatch of the aircraft and firefighters were being coordinated by the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, with the European Commission picking up most of the mobilisation cost.
Greek firefighters have been battling several heatwave-fuelled forest infernos, including around Athens that have destroyed or damaged dozens of homes and businesses and forced the evacuation of villages, and others in the south and on the island of Euboea. 
Devastating fires have also scorched parts of Italy, including in Sicily and near Rome.
Both Greece and Italy are EU member states. 
EU help was also being given to non-EU neighbours, in the form of two helicopters sent to Albania and 45 Slovenian firefighters to North Macedonia.
The European Union earlier this week deployed firefighting help to Turkey, which is also struggling with violent summer wildfires that have sent residents and tourists scrambling to safety.

China on Wednesday tightened overseas travel restrictions for its citizens as part of efforts to contain rising coronavirus cases, after reporting its highest number of infections in months.

The movement of people is coming under more restriction inside China - with localised transport closures and stay-at-home orders in places in some cities - and beyond China's borders.
China had previously boasted of its success in crushing Covid-19, with hard lockdowns in the early stages mixed with tight controls of its borders, but mass testing campaigns have uncovered Delta variant infections across the country.
The latest outbreak is threatening to undo the country's economic rebound and return to normal life with nearly 500 domestic cases reported since mid-July.
Local governments have tested entire cities and locked down millions, with the official figures on Wednesday revealing 71 new infections -- the most since January, but still a low caseload despite the outbreak spreading to dozens of cities.
The outbreak, which began when an infection among passengers on a flight from Moscow spread to airport cleaners in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, has exposed weaknesses in the country's already strict border containment measures.
China's immigration authority on Wednesday announced it would stop issuing ordinary passports and other documents needed for exiting the country in "non-essential and non-emergency" cases.
That does not yet mean a blanket overseas travel ban for the Chinese public.
Immigration official Liu Haitao told a press briefing that those who "have real needs for studying abroad, employment and business" will still have their documents issued upon verification.
Foreign crews on hundreds of ships have been stopped from disembarking and changing shifts at Chinese ports.
The central government has also ordered localities to cut off public transport and taxis in and out of areas hit by the outbreak, the transport ministry said at the same press conference.

Wuhan, where the virus first emerged in 2019, reported its first local infections in over a year this week and said Tuesday it was "swiftly launching" testing of all 11 million residents.

Long lines of residents waited at outdoor testing stations in the summer heat Tuesday, fanning themselves with paper forms while workers in hazmat suits took throat samples.
In Beijing, where the city government reported three new virus cases on Wednesday, authorities blocked entrances to a compound where one of the patients lived, while residents reached over fences to receive parcels from delivery drivers.
Nanjing has tested its 9.2 million residents three times after shutting down gyms and cinemas and closing off residential compounds.
And the tourist destination of Zhangjiajie in central Hunan province, where infected travellers who had been in Nanjing attended a theatre performance, abruptly announced Tuesday that no one would be allowed to exit the city after it emerged as an infection hotspot.
Meanwhile, Shanghai is investigating a Delta case detected in an airport worker this week. 
Authorities said on Wednesday the infection was not linked to other domestic cases and that they suspected the worker had been exposed after removing protective equipment while in a "contaminated area".

German police on Wednesday arrested a Syrian man for war crimes, accusing him of having fired a grenade into a crowd of civilians waiting for food and water from UN relief workers in Damascus in 2014.

At least seven people were killed in the attack allegedly carried out by Mouafak Al D. on March 23, 2014, German prosecutors said in a statement.
-The accused is strongly suspected of having committed war crimes. In connection with this, he is also charged with seven counts of murder and three counts of grievous bodily harm- said prosecutors.
At the time of the assault, the suspect is believed to have been a member of the "Free Palestine Movement" which laid siege to the southern Damascus neighbourhood of Yarmuk on behalf of Bashar al-Assad's regime.
Founded in 1957 with tents for Palestinians forced to leave their homes by the establishment of Israel, Yarmuk was once the Palestinian diaspora's largest urban settlement.
It developed into a sprawling neighbourhood that became home to 160,000 Palestinians, as well as Syrians.
But after Syria sank into a civil war in 2011, around 140,000 residents fled Yarmuk in the following year, leaving the rest to face severe food shortages under government siege.
The UN's relief agency for Palestine refugees UNRWA had access to Yarmuk and was able to conduct food distribution there until April 2015, when Islamic State jihadists entered the area.

Pope Francis returned to work full-time on Wednesday following a colon operation, urging the international community to help a struggling Lebanon.

The 84-year-old took time to bless children and pose for selfies in the Vatican at the weekly general audience one month to the day after the delicate operation, which saw him hospitalised for over a week.
-Today I appeal to the international community to help Lebanon along the path to resurrection through concrete gestures, not just words- Francis said.
Lebanon was Wednesday marking a year since a cataclysmic explosion ravaged Beirut, killing at least 214 people in its worst peace-time disaster, when the country's economy was already in tatters.
The spiralling economic crisis has been branded by the World Bank as one of the planet's worst since the mid-19th century. Lebanon has also had to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.
Francis said he hoped an international conference co-hosted by France and the UN on the day of the anniversary to raise humanitarian aid proves "productive".
According to the Vatican News portal, the general audience marked the resumption of normal activities for the pope, who underwent planned surgery for inflammation of the colon at Rome's Gemelli University Hospital on July 4.
Francis, who had previously been in fairly good health, had been taking it easy since the operation although he led the Sunday Angelus prayers both from hospital and from the Vatican window on his return.

Although he was part of numerous scandals, inappropriate meetings, threats to prosecutors, journalists, Ranko Debevec, the severely compromised President of the Court of B&amp;H by the decision of the First Instance Disciplinary Commission of the HJPC was only publicly warned in disciplinary proceedings against him for several disciplinary offenses.
One of them is inappropriate contact with Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, the director of ISA, on the day when the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H filed a new indictment against Osmica last year. But all this was not enough to suspend Debevec and relieve him of his duties. There is ample evidence of his abuse.
This outcome, among other things, was clear when the journalists of "Avaz" were confirmed the verdict that they are not allowed to write about the compromised Debevac.
It is obvious that the HJPC B&amp;H has double standards: One for the Chief Prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H Gordana Tadić, and the other for the President of the Court of B&amp;H Ranko Debevac.

While Debevec, although he hid property in Spain, dual identity and citizenship for 14 years, threatened prosecutor Vedrana Mijović, sent mafia messages to former friends, is only publicly warned, Tadić was expressly relieved of her duties, although an appeal is still pending.
It is obvious that the great debtor of Debevac, Mehmedagić, who was saved by the President of the Court on several occasions during court proceedings and even from detention, agreed about everything with the blackmailed disciplinary prosecutor Kurspahić-Nadarević a long time ago, because she, with the help of the President of the Court, saved her father who killed pedestrian Salko Džaferović in a car on the sidewalk, from criminal responsibility.
With this decision, the HJPC B&amp;H, Bakir Izetbegović, the leader of the SDA, who controls Debevec through Osmica, still has the head of the Court and the head of the ISA at his disposal. Now he only needs to remove prosecutor Tadić in order to stop the KCUS scandals, "Ventilators" affair and the prosecution of Sebija Izetbegović and Fadil Novalić.

The First Instance Disciplinary Commission for Judges of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HJPC B&amp;H/Council), deciding on the disciplinary lawsuit of the Office of the Disciplinary Prosecutor (UDT) of the HJPC B&amp;H against the defendant Ranko Debevec, President of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, establishes the disciplinary responsibility of the defendant for disciplinary offenses prescribed in the Law on the HJPC, Article 56, item 22: “conduct in court and out of court that damages the reputation of the judicial office” and item 19: “intentionally providing false, misleading and insufficient information with any other matters within the competence of the Council ”, and related to item a) and c) of the disciplinary action.
The defendant is imposed a disciplinary measure for the stated disciplinary offenses, based on the provisions of Article 58, paragraph 1, item (b) and Article 59 of the Law on the HJPC of B&amp;H: Public reprimand.
The defendant was released from disciplinary responsibility for item b) of the disciplinary lawsuit.
An appeal against this decision may be lodged with the Second Instance Disciplinary Commission of the HJPC B&amp;H within 8 days from the day of receipt of the decision.
The Office of the Disciplinary Prosecutor (UDT) filed a lawsuit against Debevec on April 2 this year. With that report, he was charged with inappropriate and intentional contact with Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, director of ISA, for putting pressure on the Prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H Vedrana Mijović and hiding information in his annual financial report, ie that he owns real estate in Spain.
It is a scandalous decision considering that Debevec hid the property in Spain for 14 years and did not report it in the property card, which he was obliged to do.
It is obvious that the HJPC has double standards for Debevec, who is controlled by Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, the director of the ISA, and Bakir Izetbegović, the leader of the SDA.

In her closing remarks, Chief Disciplinary Prosecutor Alena Kurspahić-Nadarević emphasized that the UDT had fully proven Ranko Debevec's disciplinary responsibility and suggested that the Commission impose one or more disciplinary sanctions on him. 
-In the first point of the lawsuit, we stated that during December 2020, Debevec met in Branilaca Sarajeva Street at number 45 with Osman Mehmedagić, Director General of the Intelligence and Security Agency of B&amp;H, after which they went together to private premises owned by M. A. At the time of the defendant's meeting with the Director of ISA, a criminal case was pending before the Court of B&amp;H, with which the public was informed on the basis of media reports, initiated by the indictment of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H, confirmed on November 4, 2020.The information about the meeting between the defendant and Mehmedagić was published by several electronic and written media - Kurspahić-Nadarević stated in her closing remarks.

Two people died and dozens more were injured on Wednesday when two trains collided at a village in the west of the Czech Republic, police said.

-We can confirm that two people lost their lives- national police said on Twitter.
-Dozens of injured people were reported at the scene. We are helping with the evacuation of passengers.-The police said the accident happened shortly after 8:00 am (0600 GMT) at Milavce.

The Munich to Prague train number Ex 351 collided with a regional service between the Czech towns of Plzen and Domazlice.
Czech Transport Minister Karel Havlicek said "the Ex 351 did not respect a signal... and crashed into the regional train".
-The situation is serious- Havlicek said as he headed to the scene of the accident.
Two train crashes in the Czech Republic in July last year left three people dead and dozens injured.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Wednesday that vaccinations and renewed restrictions could spare Israel another lockdown, even as coronavirus infections soar.

-Our goal is to keep Israel open but not reach a situation where hospitals will say we're full- he said on a tour of a new vaccination centre in Jerusalem. 
-We're seeking to avoid that, and know when to hit the brakes- Bennett said.
-To refrain from harsher restrictions, we'll get vaccinated, wear masks and maintain distancing.-Bennett's government had announced a package of new restrictions Tuesday, including requiring vaccine certificates or negative tests for entry to venues holding fewer than 100 people, and mandatory mask wearing in open spaces holding more than 100.
Announcing the new restrictions, the cabinet's Covid committee warned the highly infectious Delta variant of the coronavirus was spreading fast and called on Israelis to "stop shaking hands, embracing and kissing."
The health ministry has also expanded the list of countries from which arrivals are required to quarantine, regardless of their vaccination or testing status, to include France, Italy and the United States, among other countries.
For the past week and a half, Israel has been recording an average of more than 2,000 new cases a day, with 229 people in serious condition -- the highest since April.
The rise in infections is a step back after Israel's world-leading vaccine campaign drove down new Covid-19 cases from 10,000 a day to fewer than 100.
Israel had lifted most Covid restrictions in early June, but began reimposing some of them last month following the resurgence of cases.
Nearly 60 percent of Israel's 9.3 million people have had two shots, mostly of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. 
But about one million Israelis still refuse to be vaccinated even though they are eligible.
Israel last week rolled out a booster shot for the over-60s. It has also made children as young as 12 eligible for inoculation.

Greek firefighters said Wednesday that they hope to bring a forest fire blazing near Athens under control "in the coming hours".

-The situation has improved and we hope to bring the fire under control in the coming hours- the fire service said in a statement. 
More than 500 firefighters, a dozen water-bombing planes and five helicopters have been battling the blazes outside the capital since Tuesday afternoon.
Around a dozen houses have been destroyed in the flames, and dozens of businesses, bars and holiday accommodation have been severely damaged in Varympompi, 30 kilometres (20 miles) northwest of Athens, officials said.
Villages have been evacuated and part of a major motorway linking the capital with the north and south of the country was cut for safety reasons.
With the country reeling under a severe heatwave, the blaze spread at the foot of Mount Parnith, sending thick smoke over the capital.
Local media reported dozens of children had been rescued from a holiday camp near the Athens suburb of Varympompi.
-We are facing a difficult fire in extreme heatwave conditions- said Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis who went to Varympompi during the morning. 
Deputy minister for civil protection Nikos Hardalias told reporters that after "an exceptionally difficult night", with four fire fronts, "there is only one left now".
Experts have warned climate change is increasing both the frequency and intensity of the wildfires.
Several other blazes were still raging Wednesday in Greece, notably in the southern Peloponnese region, 300 kilometres from the capital, three villages were evacuated after a fire started Tuesday afternoon.
Another was blazing on the island of Euboea, some 200 kilometres east of the capital where eight villages were evacuated. 
More than 3,000 hectares (7,400 acres) of pine and olive were burned out by a fire that erupted Saturday near the city of Patras, 200 kilometres (125 miles) west of Athens. It was brought under control on Monday.
Turkey is suffering its worst fires in at least a decade, claiming the lives of eight people and forcing hundreds to evacuate in southern areas popular with tourists.
