More than a year into his term, North Carolina State Auditor Dave Boliek says he's working to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in state government. New laws have expanded the auditor's investigative powers and even given the office a role in shaping election oversight. Boliek joins to discuss his approach to accountability, his growing authority and what it could mean for transparency and governance in North Carolina.

As the Trump administration presses forward with efforts to reduce government, a watchdog has found that there is not a comprehensive list of all federal programs to start with. Despite being legally required to do so, the Office of Management and Budget has yet to publish an inventory of all current agency programs. A new report from the Government Accountability Office recommends that OMB fill in those data gaps, and disclose any areas that are missing information.

La Chișinău, experții din societatea civilă critică o modificare a unei legi care reduce, de la 61% la 51%, numărul de voturi pentru numirea membrilor în Comisia de evaluare a procurorilor. „Puterea acționează prea forțat și riscă să ne atragă evaluări negative din partea Comisiei Europene, de care nu avem nevoie dacă vrem să încheiem negocierile către 2028”, spun experții. Pe de altă parte, puterea, prin vocea președintei Maia Sandu, spune că este singura cale de a avansa cu reforma justiției, care altfel poate fi blocată de opoziție. „În Parlament nu există 61 de deputați care să susțină reforma justiției. Iată de ce a trebuit să reducem acest prag la o majoritate de 51 de voturi, altfel reforma justiției s-ar opri și nu putem admite acest lucru”, a declarat Maia Sandu în cadrul unei emisiuni la Jurnal TV. Am discutat subiectul cu invitatul de astăzi al Moldova Zoom, Iulian Groza, directorul Institutului pentru Politici și Reforme Europene (IPRE) de la Chișinău. Temele ediției: - Subiectul energiei este din nou în prioritatea discuțiilor publice de la Chișinău, pe fundalul crizei din Orientul Mijlociu și a scumpirii carburanților. Valeria Vițu a urmărit subiectul. - Și dacă la Chișinău se discută despre prețuri, în regiunea separatistă Transnistria se pregătește pentru ce e mai rău, adică de o oprire totală a energiei. Livrările de gaze au fost date peste cap de situația din Orientul Mijlociu. Liderii separatiști au scos de la naftalină planurile de urgență. Ce înseamnă Planul „A”, de ce se mută pacienții dintr-un oraș în altul și cum a ajuns cărbunele din nou „rege” la malul Nistrului, aflați de la Vitalie Cojocari în „Cronica lui Vitalie”. - O investigație a comunității WatchDog.MD de la Chișinău a documentat o rețea coordonată de pagini anonime pe Facebook, care, începând cu februarie 2026, promovează activitatea Primăriei Chișinău și imaginea primarului Ion Ceban. Primarul Ceban a fost declarat persoană non-grata în spațiul UE de către România din cauza legăturilor sale cu Rusia. Paginile folosesc conținut generat cu inteligență artificială și sponsorizări plătite pentru a crește vizibilitatea mesajelor, ridicând întrebări privind transparența și legalitatea promovării politice în mediul digital. Unele dintre acestea utilizează aceeași infrastructură tehnică ca site-uri asociate AUR România, conform investigațiilor Context.ro. A urmărit subiectul Liliana Barbăroșie. - 82 de moldoveni au revenit în această dimineață la Chișinău din Dubai - Republica Moldova a înregistrat anul trecut o creștere cu peste 20% a investițiilor. - Inegalitatea salarială a atins anul trecut cel mai critic nivel din ultimul deceniu. Datele indică un decalaj de aproape 17% dintre veniturile femeilor și ale bărbaților pentru aceeași muncă prestată. Știrile zilei: Ședință de urgență la Tiraspol, capitala regiunii separatiste Transnistria a Republicii Moldova, în contextul crizei energetice. Gazele plătite de Rusia nu mai ajung în regiune din cauza tensiunilor din Orientul Mijlociu. După 3 martie livrările de gaze către regiune au scăzut brusc, iar presiunea în rețea este critică. Centrala electrică de la Cuciurgan a fost trecută la producția pe cărbune. Furnizarea gazului a fost întreruptă pentru mai multe întreprinderi mari iar căldura nu mai este furnizată decât spitalelor. *** La Chișinău, autoritățile au instituit stare de alertă în energie, dar spun că nu există motive de panică, inclusiv în privința gazelor naturale. Energocom a asigurat deja Republica Moldova cu volumele necesare pentru lunile martie și aprilie, iar schimbări semnificative ale tarifelor nu sunt așteptate. În prezent, achizițiile de volume mari sunt suspendate, iar compania cumpără doar cantitățile necesare pentru acoperirea consumului de vârf. Precizările au fost făcute de directorul general interimar al Energocom, Eugeniu Buzatu, în cadrul emisiunii de la TV8. *** 82 de moldoveni au revenit la Chișinău din Dubai, anunță TV8, una dintre puținele conexiuni disponibile în prezent din Orientul Mijlociu. Potrivit unui comunicat al Ministerului Afacerilor Externe, Celula de Criză activează în regim permanent și monitorizează evoluțiile din regiune. Până la această oră, nu sunt înregistrate victime sau persoane rănite în rândul cetățenilor Republicii Moldova aflați în statele monitorizate. În Israel, situația de securitate rămâne complexă, iar aeroportul este în continuare închis pentru zborurile comerciale. Doi cetățeni moldoveni au reușit să părăsească țara cu ajutorul României și au ajuns în siguranță la București. *** Persoanele care amenință sau agresează judecătorii și procurorii vor fi sancționate penal. Un proiect de lege care prevede măsuri legislative „de fortificare a securității” persoanelor care activează în domeniul justiției a fost votat joi și promultag în aceeași zi de președinta Maia Sandu. Inițiativa legislativă a fost elaborată la propunerea Consiliului Superior al Magistraturii (CSM) și are drept scop asigurarea securității judecătorilor, conform unui comunicat al Parlamentului. *** Republica Moldova a înregistrat, în 2025, o creștere cu peste 20% a investițiilor, cel mai mare mare procent din istoria țării, ca urmare a performanțelor din sectorul bancar, prin aderarea la Zona Unică de Plăți în Euro (SEPA), a declarat, într-un interviu acordat Agerpres, Guvernatoarea Băncii Naționale a Moldovei, Anca Dragu. Totodată, Guvernatoarea se așteaptă ca rata inflației în 2026 nu va depăși 5%, iar creșterea economică este estimată la 4%. *** Inegalitățile salariale din Republica Moldova fac ca femeile să lucreze practic gratis două luni pe an. Conform unei analize a Centrului Parteneriat pentru Dezvoltare (CPD), inegalitatea salarială a atins anul trecut cel mai critic nivel din ultimul deceniu. Datele indică un decalaj de aproape 17%, ceea ce înseamnă că o femeie a încasat, în medie, cu 1700 de euro pe an mai puțin față de un bărbat pentru aceeași muncă prestată. Această explozie a inegalității este alimentată de creșterea numărului de femei pe piața muncii (în special a celor cu copii mici) care acceptă norme reduse sau poziții sub nivelul calificării pentru a reconcilia viața profesională cu cea de familie. Inegalitatea salarială, notează analiza, se traduce într-un decalaj profund la etapa pensionării. În 2025, diferența de gen în pensii a fost de peste 16 la sută, iar în Chișinău pensia unei femei poate fi chiar și cu un sfert mai mică decât a unui bărbat.

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Ethan Pretsch, Founder and President of WatchDog Robotics, which offers autonomous fire suppression systems using industry leading sensors and monitoring software combined with robotic nozzles to detect fires early and rapidly extinguish them. Ethan shares his some of his background and where the idea for the business started after searching for fire suppression systems that could be used in large tent structures that were up for long periods of time. He explains the limitations of traditional sprinkler systems, which have remained unchanged since 1874, and describes their autonomous alternative that uses sensors to detect and extinguish fires within 12 seconds using robotic water cannons. The system can detect fires up to 400 feet away and deliver water to a range of about 200 feet, making it suitable for large industrial spaces, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. Ethan notes that while the technology is evolving, traditional systems still pose risks of extensive water damage and toxic cleanup, and the autonomous solution offers a more efficient and cost-effective alternative.Jeremy and Ethan discuss the global adoption of advanced fire protection technologies, noting that while Europe and Asia have embraced these innovations, the US market is catching up. Ethan highlights the positive reception from fire engineers and code enforcement officials, suggesting that written codes will soon reflect the potential of robotic autonomous firefighting.Ethan highlights the potential markets in Tennessee, including manufacturing, distribution, and forestry products, and mentions his ties to Memphis, where he has an employee and access to a robust industrial base with skilled professionals. He emphasizes the importance of building relationships to leverage shared knowledge and support, which is crucial for driving opportunities.Ethan expresses interest in applying his technology to wildfire defense and improving plant uptime and safety. He shares advice on taking the first step towards achieving goals, emphasizing the importance of action and learning through available resources like CAD design and programming. He highlights the transformative impact of AI and current low barriers to entry, encouraging natural curiosity and willingness to learn. Ethan also provides details on how to connect with WatchDog Robotics, including their website, social media presence, and options for site visits, demonstrations, and risk assessments.Visit https://www.watchdogrobotics.com to learn more about WatchDog Robotics.
