A part of a series of exclusive interviews with men's basketball's newest arrivals, Matt Zimmerman sits down with Finnish standout and five-star forward Miikka Muurinen to discuss the international journey that brought him to Arkansas. From growing up around basketball in Finland with two former player parents, to training in Spain, Serbia, Kansas, and Arizona, Muurinen reflects on the experiences that shaped his smooth, versatile game and calm confidence. He opens up about building chemistry with Arkansas' highly touted freshman class, why loyalty from Coach Calipari's staff made Arkansas feel like the obvious choice, and the balance between European skill basketball and the physical American style of play. Muurinen also talks about his competitive fire, his love for winning, the "Slim Jesus" nickname that exploded online, and the excitement of eventually playing in front of a packed Bud Walton Arena. The conversation gives Razorback fans an early look at the maturity, poise, and high-level upside that make Miikka Muurinen one of the most intriguing newcomers in college basketball. -------- The full video version of this episode is available exclusively on HogsPlus.com Follow us on social media!

"He was one of the greatest men of Serbia who ruled the kingdom after king Dušan. Upon the death of King Uroš, Lazar was crowned King of Serbia by Patriarch Ephraim. He sent a delegation to Constantinople, including a monk called Isaiah, to plead for the removing of the anathema from the Serbian people. He went to war on several occasions against the Turkish Pasha, finally clashing with the Turkish king, Amurât, at Kosovo on June 15, 1389, being slain there. His body was taken to Ravanica near Cupria, a foundation of his, and buried there, but was later taken to New Ravanica in Srem. During the Second World War, in 1942, it was taken to Belgrade and placed in the Cathedral, where it is preserved to this day and offers comfort and healing to all who turn to him in prayer. He restored Hilandar and Gornjak, built Ravanica and the Lazarica in Kruševac and was the founder of St Panteleimon, the Russian monastery on the Holy Mountain, as well as numerous other churches and monasteries."

Interview with David Cole, CEO of Elemental Royalty Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/tether-to-assume-33-stake-in-transformational-royalty-merger-of-emx-royalty-elemental-altus-8002Recording date: 11th June 2026Elemental Royalty Corporation has emerged as a major player in the global mining royalty sector, following the merger of Elemental Altus and EMX Royalty. The combined entity now holds over 300 mineral property interests across 23 countries, positioning itself as a diversified, billion-dollar company with projected annual revenues nearing $100 million. Its commodity exposure is balanced, with approximately 60% derived from gold and silver, 30% from copper, and the remainder from base metals such as zinc, lead, and molybdenum.The company operates on a royalty model, enabling it to benefit from mining revenues without bearing operational or capital costs. Its portfolio is structured like a pyramid, combining producing assets for immediate cash flow, development-stage projects for medium-term growth, and exploration-stage properties that offer long-term upside. This structure supports steady revenue generation alongside asset value appreciation.A key factor in Elemental's growth is its strategic partnership with Tether, which holds a 32% equity stake and has injected $100 million into the company. This backing lowers Elemental's cost of capital and provides financial flexibility for acquisitions without relying heavily on equity dilution.Elemental has also significantly improved its market presence, increasing trading liquidity after listing on the NASDAQ and positioning itself for inclusion in major indexes such as the Russell 2000, Russell 3000, and potentially the GDXJ ETF. These developments are expected to attract institutional investment.Future growth is driven by major projects such as the Timok copper deposit in Serbia and the pending Vizsla silver-gold royalty acquisition in Mexico. With strong exposure to both precious metals and energy-transition commodities, Elemental is well positioned to benefit from global demand trends while maintaining a low-risk, capital-efficient business model.View Elemental Royalty's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/elemental-altus-royaltiesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Author Julie Brill joined "The Shmooze" to speak about her recently released "Hidden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia". As a child, Julie held two conflicting beliefs. She knew Germans had murdered her Jewish grandfather in occupied Yugoslavia, yet she somehow believed the Holocaust had never come to his hometown of Belgrade. The family anecdotes her father passed down—a blend of his early memories and what his mother told him—didn't match what Julie had heard about Germany, Poland, and Anne Frank in Holland during World War II.

Five Democrats compete to face Lawler A lot has changed since the November 2024 general election, when Republican Mike Lawler defeated Democrat Mondaire Jones to win a second, 2-year term representing U.S. House District 17, which includes Philipstown. The Democratic president, Joe Biden, was unpopular, a regular gallon of gas in New York state averaged $3.09, inflation stood at 2.7 percent and 39,000 people were being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, nearly two-thirds of them arrested at the borders with Canada and Mexico. Less than two years later, Republican Donald Trump is the unpopular president, a regular gallon of gas averages $4.38, inflation hit 4.2 percent and 60,000 people were being held by ICE as of April, 85 percent of them arrested at their homes and workplaces, on the street and during routine check-ins with the agency. A Marist poll released in May found that more than half of 1,322 adults surveyed rated their cost of living as "not very affordable" (44 percent) or "not affordable at all" (12 percent); 63 percent did not believe the economy benefited them; and 81 percent felt either a "major" strain on their household budget (33 percent) or a "minor" one (48 percent). Trump's unpopularity, higher gas prices and other costs, and the unpopularity of the conflict with Iran and the president's immigration crackdown are some of the factors bolstering five Democrats competing in a June 23 primary to take on Lawler in November. The district is one of the most scrutinized in the country amid the Democratic Party's efforts to flip the House to its control. The Republicans have a 218-212 majority, with four seats vacant and one independent. Cait Conley has received high-profile endorsements and raised the most campaign funds. A graduate of West Point who earned master's degrees from Harvard and MIT, she spent 16 years on active duty in the U.S. Army before directing counterterrorism for the National Security Council and joining the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Both the Dutchess and Putnam Democratic Committees have endorsed her. Beth Davidson has also received notable endorsements, including from the Rockland Democratic Committee, where she is a county Legislator. Davidson, whose fundraising totals are only bested by Conley's, spent two years on the Nyack school board and has held board seats on local organizations such as Leadership Rockland and the Children's Shakespeare Theatre. A third candidate, Effie Phillips-Staley, is serving her third term as a Tarrytown village trustee. She has also held roles as vice president of strategic advancement at the Hispanic Federation in New York City, where she led a fundraising effort that netted more than $30 million for Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria; executive director of the Foundation for the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns; and director of capital and institutional advancement for The Kitchen, an art space in the city. Questions for Candidates Ahead of the Democratic primary on June 23, we gave each candidate 500 words to answer three questions. Their responses are posted at highlandscurrent.org/house-primary-17. John Cappello and Mike Sacks are the final two candidates. Cappello is an Air Force Academy graduate and bomber pilot who retired from the service and is president of the Halyard Mission Foundation, which commemorates the rescue of more than 500 U.S. airmen from Serbia during World War II. Sacks is a lawyer and journalist who covered law and politics for the MeidasTouch media network and Fox 5 in New York City, where he won an Emmy for his coverage of the protests following the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis. There have been four polls, but each was commissioned by a candidate or supporter, surveyed a relatively small sample and found large swaths of likely voters undecided. VoteVets, a political action committee backing Conley, commissioned a poll of 500 people in May showing he...

In this episode of The Horse's Mouth, I had the great pleasure of talking with Dr Dzavid Haveric. Dzavid is a force of nature — an academic of the highest order, you might say. He's one of the most well-read people I've ever met and has dedicated his life's work to history, particularly the story of early Muslims trading with the First Nations people of Arnhem Land prior to white colonisation. His published work also explores Muslims fighting alongside Australians in the Boer War and both World Wars. To date, he has had 16 books published, along with numerous university papers. Dzavid's own story is just as remarkable. He grew up in Bosnia and fled when Serbia invaded in the early 1990s, eventually making his way to Australia. Dzavid's life is an incredible story, and I was thrilled to have him on for a chat. Cheers, Dzavid.

0:00 - It's gonna be a long summer, man. The Nuggets left a bad taste in our mouths. The Avs left an even worse one. And now, Brett's asking Moser stupid questions. Strap in, everyone. It's gonna get weird until Broncos training camp. After that, not to go all Seinfeld, but WHAT'S the DEAL with all these international tournaments in hockey and basketball? There was just a hockey tournament. Now there's a basketball one? Jamal Murray isn't playing for Canada, but Jokic IS playing for Serbia?16:00 - AJ Brown spoke to the media yesterday for the first time as a New England Patriot, and he was a little overzealous. How do you feel about someone playing for a team, while actively being a fan of a different team?36:22 - Brett got a song completely stuck in Moser's head. And it happens to be a song that Moser hates with the burning passions of 1000 suns. As I said earlier...it's gonna be long summer.

In this episode of the DSC's Campfires podcast, recorded on location at a battlefield in Scotland, Larry interviews Stefan Bengtson, who has co-owned and operated Scandinavian Pro Hunters with his wife, Sophia, since 2002. Stefan and his wife run an outfitting business that specializes in big game hunting and wing shooting worldwide, with a primary focus on short-travel European destinations. Big Game Hunting Destinations Scandinavian Pro Hunters offers a wide variety of big game species across several European countries: Sweden: Hunters can pursue European bison (wisent), large roebucks, European red stag, fallow stag, mouflon sheep, wild boar, and European moose. Norway: The outfitter provides scenic walk-and-stalk hunts for European reindeer in pure wilderness environments. Finland: The country offers unique opportunities for free-range whitetail and forest reindeer. Greenland: Available species include muskox and Greenland caribou. Scotland: Hunters can target roe deer, sika, and Scottish red stag. England: Available game includes Chinese water deer, muntjac, English red stag, Manchurian sika, Japanese sika, and roe deer. Eastern Europe: Hunts in Poland, Hungary, Serbia, and Romania are primarily focused on roe deer and red stag. Multi-Species Trips: Dedicated hunters have the unique opportunity to target multiple red stag species across different countries during a single trip. Wing Shooting and Waterfowl The outfitter provides highly social and challenging bird hunting experiences: VIP Upland Hunts: Hosted in Sweden, these hunts operate without strict bag limits, allowing hunters to take 10 to 30 birds each. Mixed Bags: Shooters can expect a mixture of pheasants, Hungarian partridges, hare, mallards, and teal, hunted alongside pointing dogs and spaniels. High-Volume Duck Hunts: Groups of 10 to 12 guns can shoot between 400 and 700 birds in a single day across various ponds. Driven Woodcock: A highly challenging late-season hunt is offered in the Scottish Highlands from late November through January. Driven Hunts: Traditional driven bird hunts are also available in Spain, Italy, and France. Guest Logistics and Amenities The company focuses heavily on the overall client experience, catering to both hunters and their companions: Firearms: While clients can navigate the paperwork to bring their own equipment, the outfitter highly recommends utilizing the quality local firearms provided by their gamekeepers. Fishing Combinations: Clients hunting in Scotland can easily combine their trips with salmon fishing or lake fishing for large trout using a Spey rod. Non-Hunter Activities: The company offers "hosted hunts" which include renting large manor houses equipped with private chefs, along with organized sightseeing tours for spouses and non-hunting companions. Expert Local Guides: Stefan notes that their success and high rate of repeat clientele are largely due to their relationships with expert local guides. Conservation and Contact Information Conservation Support: The host explicitly thanks Stefan and Sophia for their ongoing support of conservation efforts and for consistently donating hunts to the DSC and the DSC Foundation.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic hailed the ironclad friendship between the two countries during the Serbian president's first state visit to China, pledging to deepen cooperation in emerging sectors, transportation, and people-to-people exchanges.

The practice of healthcare is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power. Though power can be abused, the righteous use of power, for the benefit of the vulnerable, is profoundly Christlike. We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.

On Tuesday, the third day of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's state visit to China, he spent about five minutes inside a newly released electric vehicle at the showroom of Chinese tech company Xiaomi's auto factory in Beijing.5月26日，塞尔维亚总统亚历山大·武契奇在对华国事访问的第三天，来到北京小米汽车工厂展厅，在一辆新款电动汽车内停留了约五分钟。Sitting in the vehicle, in which commands can be voice activated, Vucic asked the in-car voice assistant: "Do you have any Serbian songs?"坐进这辆支持语音指令的汽车，武契奇向车载语音助手问道：“有塞尔维亚歌曲吗？”Serbia's national anthem, Boze pravde, then began to play.随后，塞尔维亚国歌《正义的上帝》开始播放。"I have learned a great deal here, above all about the achievements China has made. This place is amazing — I have never seen anything like it," Vucic wrote on social media. "Everything is automated. Two thousand robots operate everything, and in two shifts they produce 1,500 cars. We invited them, if they start considering investment in Europe, to choose Serbia, and we also invited them to showcase their products at EXPO 2027."武契奇在社交媒体上写道：“我在这里收获良多，尤其是中国取得的成就。这个地方令人惊叹——我从未见过如此景象。”“一切都实现了自动化。两千台机器人负责全部操作，两班倒每天可生产1500辆汽车。我们已向中方发出邀请：如果他们考虑在欧洲投资，请首选塞尔维亚；同时，我们也邀请他们参加2027年世博会，展示其产品。”The factory was Vucic's third stop on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, he delivered a speech at Tsinghua University and visited the Museum of the Communist Party of China.这座工厂是武契奇周二行程的第三站。当天早些时候，他在清华大学发表了演讲，并参观了中国共产党历史展览馆。After tracing China's journey from poverty to prosperity at the museum, Vucic wrote in the guest book that "the visit to the museum was a unique chance to deepen my knowledge of the development of China under the leadership of the CPC".在展览馆追溯了中国从贫穷走向繁荣的历程后，武契奇在留言簿上写道：“参观展览馆是一次难得的机会，让我加深了对中国共产党领导下中国发展历程的了解。”"I used to watch Back to the Future and think that flying cars, smart machines and technology that understands humans were only the stuff of movie imagination. Today, as I toured this incredible time capsule of Chinese achievements, I felt as if I had ... experienced that film myself," he wrote in a social media post.他在社交媒体上写道：“我以前看《回到未来》时，以为飞行汽车、智能机器和理解人类的技术只是电影的想象。今天，当我参观这个令人难以置信的中国成就时间胶囊时，我感觉自己仿佛亲身经历了那部电影。”He added that everything he saw seemed so advanced that, at one point, he thought his phone belonged in a technology museum.他还说，眼前的一切太过先进，有那么一刻，他甚至觉得自己的手机该被送进科技博物馆。Speaking to about 130 students and faculty members at Tsinghua University, the Serbian president said that China's progress should not be taken for granted.在对清华大学约130名师生发表演讲时，塞尔维亚总统表示，中国的进步并非理所当然。While people living in China may regard daily changes as ordinary, he said that the nation's transformation remains striking to an outside observer, even over a short period of time.他说，虽然生活在中国的人们可能觉得日常变化平平无奇，但在外界看来，中国在如此短的时间内的转变令人惊叹。He added that he has strong confidence in China's continued prosperity and bright future.他还表示对中国持续繁荣和光明未来充满信心。During the interaction with students, Vucic said that China-Serbia friendship is rooted in mutual support at difficult moments and in concrete results, rather than diplomatic rhetoric.在与学生的互动中，武契奇表示，中塞友谊植根于困难时刻的相互支持和实实在在的成果，而非简单的外交辞令。He cited Chinese participation in Serbia's infrastructure projects and the Smederevo Steel Mill, where a Chinese company's takeover helped preserve about 5,000 jobs, as examples of cooperation that have brought real benefits to local people.他举例说，中国参与了塞尔维亚的基础设施项目和斯梅代雷沃钢厂，一家中国企业接管该钢厂帮助保留了约5000个工作岗位，这些合作为当地人民带来了实实在在的利益。Vucic also linked China's development to its openness, saying that the country offers cooperation opportunities to partners from different regions. China's progress is not accidental, but is the result of knowledge, hard work, education and long-term effort, he added.武契奇还将中国的发展与其开放联系在一起，他表示中国为来自不同地区的合作伙伴提供了合作机会。他补充说，中国的进步不是偶然的，而是知识、勤奋、教育和长期努力的结果。Vucic also urged the students to remain open to the world, gain broader experience and believe in their values and principles. He said young people in China possess qualities that many countries have lost, including diligence, conviction, vision and a strong desire to succeed.武契奇还鼓励学生保持对世界的开放态度，不断丰富自身阅历，并坚定自己的价值观与原则。他指出，中国年轻人拥有许多国家已然丧失的优良品质，包括勤奋、信念、远见卓识以及强烈的成功意愿。Hard work, education and perseverance will never become outdated, he said, adding that such qualities help make a country strong and enable it to keep moving forward.他说，勤奋、教育和毅力永远不会过时，这些品质有助于国家强大并使其不断前进。EXPO /ˈekspəʊ/世博会diplomatic rhetoric /ˌdɪpləˈmætɪk ˈretərɪk/外交辞令conviction /kənˈvɪkʃən/信念perseverance /ˌpɜːsɪˈvɪərəns/毅力

Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on China and Serbia to elevate the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership to a higher level during talks with his Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vucic in Beijing.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic arrived in Beijing on Sunday for his first state visit to China, a trip that is aimed at striving for more tangible outcomes in building a China-Serbia community with a shared future for the new era.President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang will respectively meet with Vucic during the visit, which runs from Sunday to Thursday, to exchange views on bilateral relations, as well as international and regional issues of mutual interest.Before leaving for China, Vucic described his visit as "undoubtedly the most important trip abroad" in his political career, according to Serbian news agency Tanjug.He said that Serbia attaches great importance to building strong partnerships with friendly countries that respect its independence, development and right to choose its own path.He said the support and friendship shown by Xi toward Serbia remain a lasting testimony to the ironclad ties between Serbia and China, as well as to the deep mutual trust between the two countries.The visit comes two years after Xi paid a state visit to Serbia in May 2024, when the two heads of state signed a joint statement on deepening and upgrading the comprehensive strategic partnership and building a China-Serbia community with a shared future for the new era.Over the years, bilateral relations have maintained strong momentum, becoming an example of peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation between countries with different civilizations and social systems.Wang Yiwei, director of the Institute of International Affairs at Renmin University of China, said Vucic's visit highlights Serbia's pursuit of strategic autonomy as the world faces economic pressures, security challenges and growing uncertainties."The signal sent by the visit is that Cold War thinking is outdated, and that all countries have the right to choose their own development paths," Wang said.He said that Serbia shares some similar experiences with many developing countries, making the European country a potential bridge between China, Europe and the Global South.Ahead of his visit, Vucic said he would meet Chinese industrial and business leaders during his stay in China.He described China as "a model of what a strong and stable economy should be", as well as "an example of a principled state" that, through its consistent positions, prudent policy and international reputation, has made serious efforts toward peace, stability and cooperation in the world.Such efforts, he said, are "needed by humanity today more than ever before".Earlier, Serbian Foreign Minister Marko Djuric said that Vucic's visit at the highest state level would be of historical significance for Serbia and would give a strong impetus to further strengthening the extraordinary strategic relations and even closer and more fruitful cooperation between Serbia and China in a wide range of areas.

Montenegro achieving independence from Serbia in 2006 was the final part of the break-up of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Montenegro and Serbia had been joined since the end of the First World War, but after other Yugoslav countries broke away in the 1990s, an independence movement began to grow. In 2006, the people of the small European nation went to the polls and narrowly voted to become an independent country. Ivan Vujovic campaigned for independence in Montenegro with the Social Democratic Party. He speaks to Tim O'Callaghan. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In this episode, Cory Connors welcomes Predrag Ozmo to discuss the sustainability story behind Ball Corporation — the world's largest aluminum packaging manufacturer, producing more than 100 billion cans per year. Predrag shares his background growing up in Serbia and his early career at MiTeCo, a metal recycling company, before joining Ball in 2019. He explains why aluminum is often called an "energy bank" — a truly circular material that can be recycled endlessly, with up to 95% energy savings versus primary production. Predrag walks through Ball's climate transition plan and its 2030 and 2050 goals, the decarbonization pathways for primary aluminum (hydropower, inert anodes, and the ELYSIS breakthrough), the growing importance of recycled content, and the innovative partnerships that are bringing refillable and first-of-their-kind aluminum packaging to market.Key Topics Discussed:Predrag's journey from metal recycling at MiTeCo in Serbia to sustainability leadership at Ball CorporationBall Corporation's scale as the world's largest aluminum packaging manufacturer (100+ billion cans per year)Aluminum as a circular, infinitely recyclable "energy bank" materialThe 95% energy savings achieved when aluminum is recycled versus primary productionBall's climate transition plan and 2030 / 2050 sustainability goalsDecarbonization of primary aluminum through hydropower, inert anodes, and the ELYSIS technologyThe role of recycled content in reducing packaging's carbon footprintBall's partnership with Meadow for refillable soap and shampoo in aluminum bottlesBrazil partnership with Sofie and Aeroflaks on the first ASI-certified aluminum aerosol canUnilever and Alcoa's ELYSIS pilot as a model for low-carbon primary metalThe 10–15 year vision for aluminum packaging and the circular economyWhy aluminum's infinite recyclability makes it a long-term sustainability winnerResources Mentioned:Ball CorporationELYSISAluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI)Meadow (refillable aluminum personal care packaging)Contact:Listeners can learn more or reach out to Predrag directly:LinkedInBall CorporationThank you for tuning in to Sustainable Packaging with Cory Connors!Support our Sponsors Learn more here:⁃www.3M.com/sustainablepackaging⁃https://www.specright.com/Connect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

The two saints were brothers, born in Thessalonica. St Methodius, the elder brother, served as a soldier for ten years before becoming a monk. Cyril was librarian at the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople; then he too became a monk.   Their first missionary work was not among the Slavs: When the king of the Khazars (a Mongol people who then inhabited much of what is now Russia) petitioned the Emperor Michael to sent teachers to instruct his people, the Emperor chose Cyril and Methodius as his emissaries. They converted the Khazar king to the Christian faith, along with many of his nobles and commoners.   When King Rostislav of Moravia likewise sought teachers of the Christian faith, Cyril and Methodius were again sent forth. This time they devised an alphabet for the Slavic language and used it to translate many of the Greek service books into the language of the people. (In theory, the Orthodox people have always been privileged to hear the Church's services in their own tongue, though often attachment to dead languages has prevented this ideal from becoming reality.) Both brothers were repeatedly attacked by Germanic priests of the region, who opposed the use of the common tongue in the liturgy. At different times, both brothers were forced to appeal for exoneration and protection to the Pope of Rome, who supported them warmly each time.   After the two Saints reposed, attacks on their work continued, and their disciples were eventually driven from Moravia. The disciples, fleeing southward, found a warmer welcome among the southern Slavic peoples, and their work bore much fruit in Bulgaria (including modern-day Serbia) and other countries. And, of course, the alphabet that they devised, called Cyrillic after St Cyril, remains the standard alphabet of both the Slavonic service books of the Church and the Slavic languages of today.

Kate Adie introduces stories on Vladimir Putin's declining popularity, peace protests in Japan, Serbia's anti-corruption anger, and how Canadian robots are patrolling the Arctic.The Kremlin has recently increased security measures around President Vladimir Putin after a string of assassinations of top Russian military figures. This comes as the president has retreated from public view, as the economic impact of Russia's war in Ukraine continues to bite. Steve Rosenberg observes the shift in the country's moodJapan has taken a major step away from its post-war pacifist stance, lifting long-standing restrictions on arms exports. The government says it's a necessary step in an increasingly tense region - but it's raising alarm and in recent weeks there have been protests in major cities across the country. Kurumi Mori reports from Tokyo.Serbia has also been experiencing a series of protests over the past year – fuelled by anger over alleged government corruption. They began in November 2024 following the collapse of a train station roof in the northern city of Novi Sad, which killed 16 people. Jill McGivering has been to Belgrade to meet a woman whose tragic loss put her at the centre of the political crisis.Governments around the world are increasingly investing in military robots, as the nature of modern warfare evolves.

Eighteen months ago, the renovation of the railway station in Serbia's second biggest city, Novi Sad, led to a tragic accident. A substantial concrete canopy, which ran across the front of the station building, suddenly collapsed, killing sixteen people. The disaster sparked mass protests. Marchers demanded justice for the dead and injured. As the protests spread, to the capital, Belgrade, and to towns and cities across the country, the demands evolved. Protesters accused the government of corruption and of covering up the truth about what happened. The government accused the protesters of being foreign agents, supported and organised by malign outside forces. Now, after more than a year, the mass protests have finally subsided. Jill McGivering is in Serbia to find out what's happened to that explosion of anti-government anger.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.
