The latter is portrayed by the British actress Cynthia Erivo It seems that playing Glinda was the role of a lifetime for pop singer Grande who tweeted in 2011 that it would be her “dream” On 1 December 2011, Grande shared on social media: “Loved seeing Wicked again… amazing production Made me realize again how badly I want 2 play Glinda at some point in my life It didn’t take fans long to suggest that Grande manifested the role as many praised her portrayal of Glinda in the film “Her power of manifesting is something serious,” one fan wrote Another said: “I genuinely couldn’t imagine a better person for the role though Someone else said: “No one deserved or worked for this role as much as Ariana Grande did.” One X/Twitter user said: “Coming clean and sharing that I started fighting tears the moment she opened her mouth in the movie because I was thinking about how she was fulfilling her lifelong dream like omg.” look how all of Ari’s dreams come to reality another said what we are all thinking – “2011 was 13 years ago??” Despite much high praise, Wicked's director Jon M.

Response Team to assess the damage in Petrinja Critical needs in the health sector include PPE and two additional temporary structures to facilitate continued delivery of healthcare services At least seven people were killed and scores injured after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck central Croatia on December 29 The quake—the strongest recorded in 140 years—struck just after noon local time about 30 miles southeast of the capital Zagreb The earthquake led to widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure including the region’s largest hospital and a variety of other healthcare-related facilities Hundreds of thousands of people were left without power and travel has been widely disrupted as officials continue to assess damage to roads the area has suffered from strong aftershocks a 4.9 magnitude earthquake occurred in the same area just 4 miles (7 kilometers) west-northwest of the December 29 quake International Medical Corps deployed more than $50,000 worth of personal protective equipment (PPE) to support Croatian health authorities involved in relief efforts We also deployed an Emergency Response Team from our Croatia office to conduct an assessment of the damage and critical needs in Petrinja Our team is working closely with the Croatian Ministry of Health’s Crisis Management Center to evaluate needs and coordinate opportunities to connect resources with those affected by the earthquake Based on discussions with the Ministry of Health (MoH) a clear priority is to restore primary healthcare services in the affected region four temporary structures to serve as primary healthcare centers while rehabilitation efforts are underway; support for the replacement of a damaged ambulance unit; and co-financing to support the rehabilitation of the major health centers in Petrinja and Glina Both health centers in Petrinja and Glina have been deemed unsalvageable and will need to be demolished and completely rebuilt the MoH intends to open temporary facilities to support the healthcare needs of the local population International Medical Corps is concluding procurement and arranging deployment of two temporary health structures that will be used in Glina to restore primary healthcare delivery service International Medical Corps also completed the delivery of food hygiene items and personal protective equipment (masks) worth $50,000 in collaboration with the Wings of Help Germany and Croatian Red Cross (CRC) to meet the immediate needs of displaced families Our Emergency Response Team is temporarily based in Zagreb to coordinate with authorities the dispatch of the temporary health structures and to oversee the distribution of supplies to the affected population primarily in rural areas that received less assistance than larger population centers International Medical Corps will continue to collaborate with the MoH to identify additional opportunities for support Critical needs currently include two additional temporary health structures to ensure primary care access in the affected regions and medical equipment to replace critical-care equipment that was damaged during the earthquake There also is a concern that the current turmoil may lead to a surge of COVID-19 cases with hundreds displaced and sheltered in government-organized accommodation or with families in crowded conditions International Medical Corps’ team will continue to work with local partners to address these critical needs and help the MoH secure access to healthcare for affected populations The city of Bucharest has chosen a consortium of Aqualia FCC Construcción and Suez to modernise and enlarge the Glina wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for a total value of EUR 113 million represents the largest public-sector water contract awarded in Europe in 2017 the project is scheduled for commissioning at the end of 2019 The enlargement and improvement of the WWTP represents a significant technical challenge because it will be carried out while the current installations continue to operate The work includes reforming the biological reaction lines building 24 new ones and the reconversion of the sludge line Suez will build a plant for the re-use of the sludge from the WWTP with a treatment capacity of 173 tonnes of dry material daily This plant will significantly reduce the total volume of sludge produced in the WWTP using incineration technology and a process for recovering the energy generated as part of the electricity consumed in the process As well as holding a leading position in the domestic market

the devastating Petrinja earthquake and Croatians pulling together with huge hearts.  My first and only previous visit to Petrinja was in the winter of 2003 I went to pick up a Ukrainian employee of OSCE and his son The son had a broken leg and my task was to transport him to hospital in Zagreb I remember very little apart from the snow and the many destroyed buildings after years of war and enemy occupation less than a decade previously.  Not much good has happened to the people of Petrinja and surrounding areas in the 25 years since the war finished emigration – a sadly common story in continental Croatia outside the capital Zagreb An earthquake measuring 6.2 was felt in ten other countries and every part of Croatia yesterday – it was my first earthquake experience 140 km away – powerful enough to have us leave the house immediately it was clear that a major tragedy was unfolding International messages and pledges came pouring in and international interest in the live updates was huge so that perhaps an in-depth account of the situation on the ground might help people understand the scale of the tragedy as well as painting a realistic picture of what was happening on the ground.   picking up TCN colleague Marc Rowlands from Zagreb on the way Never having done anything like this before we decided to start in the small village of Majske Poljane where four of the seven deaths  had occurred and where the mayor had claimed that  only 10% of buildings were not damaged.  The mayor was not exaggerating.   and our hearts sank the more we drove along the narrow main road How does a community recover from something like this A shell-shocked man was standing by the side of the road he told me that he was a war veteran and had fought side by side with an Englishman in Vinkovci in 1992 in the 109th Brigade “Was his name Steve?” I asked, the only Englishman I knew in Vinkovci who fought for Croatia (and DEFINITELY the only Englishman to open a pub in a field in the middle of nowhere in eastern Croatia).   or recognise me after all these years.” I suggested we try and sent Steve the photo above to find out – the reply came back that the face was familiar Such is the smallness of the village that is Croatia.  While Vladimir’s house was in reasonable condition the same could not be said of the neighbours’ house across the road inhabited only by at least 10 horses that I counted I told various media colleagues I came across today about the horses and they featured on the national news this evening and I recently heard that a container of help has arrived at the house Ours was not the only car with Varazdin plates in Majske Poljane Croatians and foreigners with their cars filled with food to help them through this difficult period.  Vladimir had already received a visit from the Red Cross yesterday as the need for the rest was perhaps greater with others.   It was a theme of the day – cars from all over Croatia (here Nasice) filled with supplies to help the people of Majske Poljane Of all the countries I have lived and travelled in never have I seend a nation come together in time of crisis in the way Croatia does As my heart was breaking with the horror scenes all around it was also beaming with pride at the efforts of my adopted homeland.   The humans of Majske Poljane may have been confused by what had happened From those horses to the bleating sheep and many dogs either wandering around confused or guarding houses which no longer existed the loneliness and loss of direction of beloved pets was as poignant as anything I saw today.   We made our way back through the mist to the other side of Majske Poljane just part of the emergency response.   mission complete for the first tent.   We headed on to the nearest town,  Glina waiting for the authorities to collect them This is the photo a friend from Petrinja sent me yesterday Cleaning this up was going to take forever We couldn’t believe how clean the streets of Glina were until we saw the local teams in action.   Some things will be impossible to fix.   removing loose debris and making buildings as safe as possible Lots of loose chimneys were removed in the region today but there was plenty to observe on the way A local told me that the church is only a few years old having being rebuilt after the Homeland War.   we decided to follow things that interested us Such as the Red Cross on quad bikes delivering emergency water.  It was hard to keep up as they went house to house with local residents coming out to collect their allocation One of the most heartwrenching sites of the day were the numerous  families sitting in their gardens and yards outside many just sat outside in the cold and waited There were so many incredible photos to be taken but neither of us wanted to be that intrusive.   But perhaps a flavour in this collage from a LinkedIn contact.   whose collapsed buildings have become the most iconic of this latest disaster.  the strangest thing… Look the other way into the centre of the square to find a beautiful Advent in Petrinja park seemingly oblivious to the chaos all around.   A video tour of a tale of two Petrinjas in one square.  And I thought back to my friend’s photo the previous day – the streets of Petrinja were incredibly clean so soon after such a catastrophe.   why people were just sitting around in their front gardens was that there was nothing open Cafes and restaurants have been closed for weeks due to corona but the shops and supermarkets were also shut But there was little chance of the people of Petrinja going hungry as there was help from every corner of Croatia I stopped to take a photo of ‘Sinj Loves Petrinja.’ “What would you like?” asked the man in a strong Sinj accent “I would love a cold beer,” I replied.  I don’t need anything but thank you.” A woman approached asking if they had any bread and she took what she needed for her family gifted by people from all over the country today – it was heartwarming to see.  Everything is being very well-coordinated by the local civil protection units.   Marc wanted to take some photos of something along the road and I found myself watching this old couple whose house had been damaged urgent repairs to the roof a priority.   a team of volunteers appeared with a ladder and set to work. Such things happened all over the region There was one appointment I had that I was keen to keep – finally meeting Josip Granic and the amazing team from the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service whose headquarters were in the Lidl car park.   We are curiously bonded by both being unlikely male models (ok, he far more likely than me) in the Varteks ‘Imperfect Guy in a Perfect Suit’ campaign. Josip is a big TCN fan and was very helpful in a great feature on the amazing team at the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service by TCN earlier this year – Meet HGSS The Croatian Mountain Rescue Service.  Despite working through the night without any sleep Josip found time for an interview with Marc I was expecting much more traffic congestion but the police kept things moving.   What the police could not control were more tremors Alone in the car again as Marc took more photos and the earth was definitely moving underneath me – a 4.1 earthquake I was to discover later Par for the course in Croatia in 2020 and nothing to write home about.   bringing the essential items to the locations which needed them most.   Some with memories of the celebrations of a happier festive season There was time for one more stop before returning to Zagreb – the church in the village of Zazina Its front and spire no longer there.   Ripped from the rest of the building.   This is how the church had looked just 24 hours earlier. I learned later that the church organist had been cleaning the organ when the earthquake struck The frescoed walls inside still there to see.   as the neighbour emerged without a scratch young does not necessarily guarantee safety from earthquakes.   We drove back to Zagreb in relative silence each lost in their own thoughts and suffering from the early start and the trauma of the day.  Croatians are the most resilient people I know There are thousands of heroic examples of this being performed on a daily basis at the moment and I applaud each and every one of them who has risen to the task.  And let’s not forget the generosity of the diaspora and international community as well The response to this disaster has been magnificent Help IS getting to those who need it most on the ground and the donations ARE making a difference.  and website in this browser for the next time I comment The Romanian capital has awarded the works to a consortium of Aqualia which includes

Aqualia in Romania FCC Construcción and Suez to modernise and enlarge the Glina (Bucharest Rumania) wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for a total value of €113 million represents the largest public sector water contract awarded in Europe this year In Glina at the event marking the International Day of the Disappeared and Remembrance Day for persons gone missing in the Homeland War Plenković recalled Vlado Gotovac's historic speech 30 years ago in front the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) 5th Military District Command in Zagreb when he said that "the aggressor generals will die in the desolation of their dead hearts and their families will be ashamed of them" the prime minister said today could be called "the day of the call of conscience" and that in that sense Gotovac's words sounded even stronger today we won't stop searching for the 1,858 disappeared and killed persons," the prime minister said On behalf of the federation of associations of families whose members disappeared in the 1991-1995 Homeland War the federation's leader Ljiljana Alvir said some had been looking for their family members for 26 years many had died and some had no more strength and were tormented they would have to pass the search on to their children or grandchildren She asked Croatian institutions to be tougher with Serbia "there are no concessions until this issue is resolved there is no excuse for Serbia joining the European Union" She told everyone who has information about the suffering of the disappeared relocated graves to contact institutions and share the information "If you're concerned about your own and the safety of your family there are ways to deliver the information," Alvir said FM: Revealing truth about 1,858 disappeared precondition for progress in relations with Serbia Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman laid a wreath on behalf of the government at the Suza (Tear) monument in Glina ahead of the meeting He told Hina there was evidence of murders there were archives of detainees and the disappeared and mass graves and they should be available to the Croatian judiciary "Revealing the truth about the 1,858 disappeared and punishing the perpetrators of crimes against them is a precondition for progress in relations with Serbia," Grlić Radman said He said that as the minister of foreign affairs he was using every opportunity of the forum on human rights and with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and at the human rights committees of the United Nations as the universal guardian of international order and peace "to let it be heard that Serbia was a country which bears the guilt and responsibility of Milošević's regime and that it should cooperate" He stressed that it wasn't only a bilateral issues but an issue of the EU acquis that it was difficult to encourage Serbia's activity that they didn't want that and that in fact "Serbia should face the past also in the interest of its future to free future generations from that guilt so that the burden of resolving the issue of the disappeared and compensating detainees is not left to them but that they open their archives and thus achieve justice and facilitate our relations" was worst hit by the 6.2-magnitude earthquake on Tuesday “There are hardly 10 percent of houses here that have been left intact People are still being pulled out from under the rubble The largest number of casualties are here,” Baksic Mitic told the Index.hr news website She said that tents were being set up on a football field in Glina for people who have been left homeless by the earthquake She appealed for shipping containers to use them for accommodation “It’s winter and these people have nowhere to stay,” she said Baksic Mitic confirmed that four

Dragan Vasiljkovic was charged with murdering and torturing civilians and prisoners of war during Croatia's war of independence Link copiedShareShare articleA witness in a Croatian criminal case against Australian citizen Dragan Vasiljkovic has handed crucial evidence to prosecutors that implicates the paramilitary commander in war crimes Vasiljkovic was charged with murdering and torturing civilians and prisoners of war during Croatia's war of independence in the early 1990s Croatian prosecutors also alleged that he orchestrated an attack in 1991 on the town of Glina in which at least one civilian and German journalist Egon Scotland were killed Mr Scotland's widow Christiane Schlotzer has given prosecutors a video tape of a press conference she obtained that Vasiljkovic gave the day after the Glina assault she said the paramilitary leader widely known as Captain Dragan boasts of his command of troops that swept the Croatian and Muslim population from the town "He said in many cases that he was the commander "There's no doubt that he was in Glina and he was commanding the operation." Vasiljkovic has previously denied committing war crimes who wrote about Vasiljkovic years before he was eventually tracked down in Perth and then arrested in Sydney said the video tape evidence was important "I think it's extremely important because it reinforces what is already on the public record out of his mouth as reported in the Sydney Morning Herald at the time that he was bragging about the fact that his men in assaulting Glina were prepared to massacre people who were taking refuge in places like hospitals,"Aarons said Croatian prosecutors issued an indictment against Mr Vasijkovic on Friday, six months after he was extradited from Australia following a 10-year legal battle. The Belgrade-born 62-year-old emigrated to Melbourne with his mother as a teenager, and returned to his homeland during the Balkan conflicts where he rose to become a key ally of Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic. Ms Schlotzer's husband Egon Scotland was shot dead in a car near the Yugoslavian town of Glina. (Supplied) Ms Schlotzer said she had been waiting 25 years for justice. "I'm very pleased that it's now finally happening after such a long time, I think it's important that justice is being done," she told the ABC from Munich. "It was well-known that [Dragan] was in Glina … it was not a secret that he was commanding the whole operation, and it was also not a secret that they were shooting especially at journalists." The trial is due to take place in coming months and Ms Schlotzer is set to be a witness. "It's a very symbolic case for Croatia," she said. "It also shows that nationalism is a poison, nationalism is very dangerous, and it was this ideology of nationalism who created this war."
