In the 17th July "Dienas ziņas" broadcast, we discuss several current events in Latvia and worldwide. The Latvian Railways sold a unique diesel locomotive for 66,000 euros, originally intended for government use. The 24‑year‑old mayor of Līvāni held an online discussion with residents, attracting a small audience and receiving criticism for the chosen time. In various regions, the number of workers and qualified employees has been decreasing each year, exacerbated by limited living funds and underdeveloped road infrastructure. Despite a fire at a popular venue, the Tomorrowland electronic dance music festival will not be canceled.
