Jelena Bojic is a journalist turned activist who is still haunted by the tragedy of November 1st 2024. I met her outside the now deserted station building where the concrete canopy fell. Giant hearts propped against the barricades commemorate the victims. Jelena is one of many still haunted by what happened. This is like a memory.
Yhden pÀivÀn jÀlkeen Novi Sadin rauha ja rauha olivat rauhoittuneet. Maailma oli rauhoittunut maailmanlaajuisista protesteista, jotka jatkuivat pian Belgradein ja maailman ympÀristöön. Protesteet, joilla oli opiskelijat, rauhoittivat hallitusta ja korruptiota ja pyytivÀt, ettÀ joku olisi huolta. PÀivÀkirjoja, haluan kiittÀÀ opiskelijoista, jotka pysyvÀt elÀmÀÀn.
After a year without answers, Diana Herker announced a hunger strike. She'd lost her son Stefan in the disaster. She told me she'd hoped the hunger strike would force the authorities to notice her, but no one did. Things just got worse, she told me. I was being harassed and felt under threat. I realised that if I died, there'd be no one left to fight.
18 kuukautta jÀlkeen massarallit ovat suurin piirtein pysyneet. JÀrjestöjen kritiikkoja huomioi, ettÀ se on jatkuvasti repressiivinen, jonka jÀlkeen Euroopan unionin jÀrjestö kertoi. JÀrjestöjen yrittÀjÀt sanovat, ettÀ kritiikki on ennustettavaa ja poliittisesti motivoitavaa.
In a bustling cafe in Novi Sad I met professor Jelena Klout. She has just lost her job at Novi Sad University. Officially an old, dismissed complaint against her was revived, but she feels it's because she supported the protests, and she's defiant about the canopy collapse.
Me emme yleensÀ ole rauhoittuneita ihmisiÀ, mutta kun nÀet, ettÀ ei kukaan edes ole rauhoittunut, kun tuntuu, ettÀ on niin paljon rauhoittumista ja rauhoittumista, joita tÀytyy lopettaa, kaikki nÀmÀ pienet asiat rauhoittuvat. Ihmiset ovat todella rauhoittuneita siitÀ, miten hallitus kÀsittelee tÀmÀn kriisin.
Valtuutettava puolue saattaa tukea. NÀin kymmeniÀ kymmeniÀ ihmisiÀ keskustelevassa Belgradein keskustelussa, jossa presidentti Aleksandr Vucic kertoi. HÀn kertoi protestaatioita kÀsittelemÀÀn ulkomaalaisia, jotka yrittÀvÀt pohtia Serbiasta. Mutta monet nÀkevÀt, ettÀ Novi Sad-kirjauksen rauha on jatkuvasti vaikuttanut hÀnen puolestaan.
Outside Novi Sad station I came across a group of about 50 cyclists staging a symbolic anti-government protest. I came to pay respect to these people who lost their lives a year and a half ago and we still don't have an answer to why that happened.
18 kuukauden jÀlkeen ei ollut edes mitÀÀn uskontelua. Ei ollut luonnollisia vastauksia, miksi paikallinen jÀrjestelmÀ on loppunut.
Many here say the fight for justice may seem quieter now, but it's far from over. That report by Jill McGivern.
By the end of this century it's estimated that half of the world's 7,000 languages will be gone, killed by war, climate breakdown, migration, nationalism or neglect, along with the vital knowledge that they've sustained for centuries. The author, Sophia Smith-Gaylor, calls it an unprecedented mass extinction event, or linguicide. She was alerted to the crisis when her grandmother lay dying
She realised that she was losing not just someone she loved, but the language she spoke to. And with it, a culture, a history, an inheritance. She told Nick Robinson about the inspiration for her new book, How to Kill a Language. My nonna came to the UK in her early 20s, and with her she brought standard Italian knowledge.
She also brought what was always ever referred to as the Alut. This was Piacente or Piacentino, and it's a variety of Emilian, a dialect of Emilian, often construed as a dialect of actually Italian, which is not true. And it set me on this journey of thinking about if I want to reconnect with the languages of my family, one that's been lost in diaspora and lost.
And explain to people why it matters. Clearly emotionally it matters to you. That was a connection with someone you love. But you make the argument that it matters for us all.
It matters for us all, because this is the world's language diversity that we are talking about. Each language speaks to a cultural inheritance, but it speaks to a place, a people, a history, and that people's future in turn. So around the world, there are communities really trying to rally against what is the loss of a language that they never chose to lose, but because of things you mentioned, globalization, colonialism,
I ask at the end of the book, in an age of seeming sort of impermanence and monoculture, what do we think is worth remembering and protecting? And for me, it's many things, but it's also my nonnesdialot. Because it's connected so closely with people's identity, it is also often a victim of war, isn't it?
Yes, you've got extensive linguicide happening today in Ukraine as has happened over many, many years. It was with the Russian Empire, the USSR, with Russia today. The linguistic component is a major part of it. Ukraine has a state language commissioner to actually help it defend against this linguicide and use examples for the wider sort of genocide case that they hope to make.

And now some disappointing news for fans of the country music legend Dolly Parton. The star, who is 80 years old, has already had to postpone her upcoming Las Vegas residency because of health issues. Now she's announced that she's cancelling it altogether. But she reassured her fans that everything she has is treatable, she's responding well to the treatment and plans to perform again once she's fully recovered. Chantal Hartl reports.
Dolly Parton oli alun perin joutunut esittÀmÀÀn viisi esiintyötÀ Coliseum Theatreissa Caesarin palassa viime vuonna, mutta siirtyi septembrista. Mutta videon uudistuksessa hÀn kertoi, ettÀ hÀn ei voisi esiintyÀ kuten suunniteltu. Kappaleen Àiti Àiti Àiti Àiti Àiti Àiti Àiti Àiti Àiti Àiti Àiti Àiti Àiti
