[00:00:13] Today in Review: What is this, a queue
[00:00:17] number, are you in the queue? Thousands
[00:00:20] of people were waiting in line for tickets at the Drama Theater this morning
[00:00:24] and a large part of them still missed out. Why has such a deficit
[00:00:28] occurred and how can the public get into the hall? We discuss this
[00:00:31] with the head of the Theater Union and actor Kert Raudsepp.
[00:00:35] Men can also cry. It turns out that real men do
[00:00:39] cry. We talk about masculinity with Karl-Robert
[00:00:42] Saaremäe, Sveta Grigorjeva and Mart Juur. Men
[00:00:46] cry.
[00:00:48] I am Tiiu. I am Tiiu, I am Tiiu.
[00:00:52] According to the Population Register
[00:00:55] data, 47 Tiius
[00:00:58] live in Hiiumaa. Some of them held a gathering yesterday. There is probably no
[00:01:02] lazy Tiiu, or at least as far as I know, I know
[00:01:05] one, myself.
[00:01:07] ise,
[00:01:15] Good evening, dear viewers. Today is Monday, November 2nd, and
[00:01:19] the review begins. This morning tickets for the Drama Theater
[00:01:22] went on sale again for a few months
[00:01:25] next year. And if you weren't too early,
[00:01:29] very early at the door, or if you weren't particularly lucky with nimble fingers,
[00:01:33] then you missed out. Is it a blessing for a theater person
[00:01:36] or a sorrow that so many
[00:01:40] want and so many miss out?
[00:01:43] Well, yes, it's twofold, isn't it? The
[00:01:48] said "I want it this way," and accessibility of theater performances, it's great of course when the halls are
[00:01:50] sold out, and it's great to perform when the hall is full, always better than an empty
[00:01:54] hall, which we've also had to perform in, but on the other hand,
[00:01:57] yes, indeed, this spontaneity.
[00:02:00] It's quite a hobby, that "let's go to the theater tonight,"
[00:02:04] it's very difficult, yes, and even like this
[00:02:08] further spontaneity, that I book my
[00:02:11] theater ticket two months in advance, is also, at least from the example of the Drama Theater, still quite an
[00:02:15] impossible genre to slip into, yes, we also remember
[00:02:18] those times at the City Theater, don't we? Are there no tickets available at the City Theater?
[00:02:21] We checked, that too, yes, just just, and I remember in my youth,
[00:02:25] Tuglas had many productions for which it was equally difficult to get
[00:02:29] tickets, so that's not... it goes up and down by theater,
[00:02:32] yes, why has it come to this,
[00:02:35] because there are definitely good performances, good productions,
[00:02:39] no doubt, but is everything like such a
[00:02:41] golden taste, that everything should be snatched up? In that
[00:02:45] sense, well, I don't know, only the audience can
[00:02:48] say that, I can't say that. My question is, doesn't it create this feeling that in your head, that I should get
[00:02:51] something, give me something, and you end up watching a performance that
[00:02:55] might not be your taste at all, you didn't even like it, you shrug your shoulders
[00:02:59] and think. It depends, again it depends on the viewer, how much preparation you do,
[00:03:03] that theater doesn't have to be liked at all, and not all productions have
[00:03:06] to be liked, and it's not an obligation that it should
[00:03:09] be liked, and very different things, so
[00:03:13] that if people just grab these tickets because it's
[00:03:17] somehow very prestigious,
[00:03:19] well, let them grab them, then what can be done? Well, does some kind
[00:03:22] of elitism arise? Elitism arises from the fact
[00:03:26] that theater also becomes inaccessible
[00:03:30] to people with lower wages and smaller
[00:03:33] incomes. And by the way,
[00:03:35] the Ministry of Culture recently conducted a survey, a survey of non-
[00:03:39] attendance, and 44%
[00:03:42] of people there answered that they would like to go to the theater more often, and 58%
[00:03:46] said that the reason they don't go to the theater more often is that
[00:03:50] the ticket price is too high, and only in fourth place
[00:03:54] was it 31% that tickets are hard
[00:03:57] to get, so in reality, indeed, that
[00:04:00] the former theater policy, such that theaters tried to adhere to, that
[00:04:04] the price of a theater ticket should not exceed one percent of the average wage, which
[00:04:08] currently should be around 22,
[00:04:10] a little over 22 euros, but at that time
[00:04:14] the VAT was 5%, now it's 24%, so if you add those
[00:04:17] percentages, it really is simply too expensive, and it
[00:04:21] really becomes elitist, because a very large number of people cannot access it
[00:04:25] because the ticket price is too high, but that depends on the size
[00:04:28] of the funding and and there are also... discounted tickets, right?
[00:04:31] For students, pensioners, probably something else,
[00:04:34] but even at the Drama Theater, well,
[00:04:37] you can't just buy a full price ticket for 30 euros for any performance
[00:04:40] anymore, right? Everything is still 450, 60 and 70. I
[00:04:44] am obliged by my employer to watch Drama Theater performances, it's in my contract, I
[00:04:48] go like I go to the theater for free. What kind
[00:04:51] of free? Yes, but it's not easy either, is it, to find that place
[00:04:54] at that moment when you have a free evening, so you can go, so
[00:04:58] in that sense, I'm a little bit...
[00:05:02] But do you discuss this among yourselves, that the ticket price is moving too quickly
[00:05:06] and if there is demand, we could raise it further? Of course, we make theater
[00:05:10] with public money, right? Just like you make public money here at the National Broadcasting,
[00:05:14] which must be accessible to everyone, then in our understanding, theater must also be
[00:05:17] accessible to everyone. Everyone is taxpayers, everyone contributes
[00:05:20] to this, so the ticket price should be lower, so that
[00:05:24] more people can, at least, have the opportunity to come to the theater. The Drama Theater
[00:05:27] still discussed and figured out that you can't buy eight tickets at
[00:05:31] once anymore. For a while, it even went down to two tickets could be
[00:05:35] bought at once by one person for one
[00:05:38] performance. Now it's probably four still four, yes, so you can't
[00:05:42] take very large quantities as one person, did it give any results today? I think it did, because I heard, I
[00:05:46] spoke with the sales department during the day,
[00:05:50] that most people, those who stood in a physical queue,
[00:05:53] had come, and tickets were booked, reserved
[00:05:57] for those people after all. And to my knowledge, I may, I
[00:06:01] apologize if anyone really missed out, but
[00:06:04] they should have gotten them there, those who came. Well, Postimees
[00:06:07] Merilin Pärli also wrote today about this same Drama Theater ticket boom, I'll just quote
[00:06:11] one very... nice part from it, "Pensioner Tamara
[00:06:14] Jõhvis also came for tickets, she arrived in Tallinn on Sunday, watched
[00:06:18] My Fair Lady at the Estonia in the evening, stayed overnight in Kadriorg, took the first
[00:06:22] tram to the city in the morning and took her place in the main group
[00:06:26] at six o'clock, and the result: all
[00:06:29] the desired tickets for a total of 830
[00:06:33] euros." She's not going alone, she got them for her grandchildren
[00:06:36] and friends too, but well, it's pretty wild, yes, and the first person was already there
[00:06:40] at the Drama Theater door at 4:45.
[00:06:43] And when asked by a journalist, she replied that she is an early riser, so she could have
[00:06:46] spent that time there. This is still like
[00:06:49] a return to deficit thinking, isn't it? Yes, well,
[00:06:53] what can you do? The Drama Theater, what can it do? It can
[00:06:57] make worse productions so people won't come to watch, it can not
[00:07:00] play at all, right? We make the productions ready, but we don't play them. Then it's possible
[00:07:04] that we play so much that there are
[00:07:07] no breaks, right? One performance ends, immediately another begins, right? But we don't have enough technical
[00:07:11] staff. Because it's not possible to hire that many, the salaries are so
[00:07:15] low, that actually we all work at such an optimal
[00:07:18] level, so that we can perform
[00:07:22] and and and here, well, in some social media groups
[00:07:26] or it has also been talked about, "why don't you play in bigger halls?" Look, the production is made
[00:07:30] for specific halls, so there's no point
[00:07:32] in like climbing onto stadiums, for that,
[00:07:36] well, yes, and what other suggestions are there, how have other theaters
[00:07:40] managed elsewhere in the world, where there's... huge competition, right?
[00:07:43] Or people want to come so badly, let's try to go to
[00:07:47] West End in London to watch, you won't get in either, they sell
[00:07:50] two tickets per show, right, anywhere,
[00:07:53] well, popular shows, productions are just like that,
[00:07:57] well, it's hard to get tickets. Well, for example, it's also hard to get tickets for Hendrik Almet's
[00:08:01] Estonian basketball team games, that's also true. Hendrik Almet
[00:08:04] on social media, perhaps half-jokingly, perhaps seriously, said that
[00:08:07] when Drama Theater tickets go on sale, other theaters could set up a fair there
[00:08:11] in your square and... those who didn't get Drama Theater tickets, would see that
[00:08:15] oh, there's something else, and could get some there, or yes, well, you can always be witty, but
[00:08:19] it doesn't change the situation. How are
[00:08:22] theaters doing in general, if we now leave the Drama Theater, the City Theater aside,
[00:08:25] where tickets are unavailable, can you get into Vanemuine, can you get
[00:08:28] into Endla, do small theaters have a market, because
[00:08:32] new productions are constantly coming out, and well, fewer
[00:08:35] than last year, everyone has still taken the path of reducing
[00:08:38] production a bit, hopefully it will decrease even more, right?
[00:08:42] Hopefully, but there's nothing to do, the funding is small, so people, well
[00:08:46] theaters depend so terribly on ticket revenue, right? In the last
[00:08:49] 20 years it has increased terribly, and
[00:08:52] that's why there's increased wage pressure, because
[00:08:55] state support has decreased, and and and and frankly, the
[00:08:59] state budget strategy foresees further cuts in the cultural sector
[00:09:02] and even less money for the Ministry of Culture, both for the National Broadcasting
[00:09:06] and for us, right? Now talk about that 1720 that you have
[00:09:10] printed, the minimum wage for cultural workers.
[00:09:12] Right now, many receive a little more than that, many don't receive
[00:09:16] even that, and taxes are deducted from this, right? Yes, this is the gross amount, right? And and we are
[00:09:19] currently in a situation where the median salary in Estonia is also higher than this, so
[00:09:23] this is the sad state of affairs, and that is why the situation is such
[00:09:27] that because the support is small, we
[00:09:30] have to raise ticket prices to be able to pay salaries at all or to be at some
[00:09:34] level, because we , by God, actors still
[00:09:37] somehow, right, come to the theater and those people who love theater very much and are willing to work there,
[00:09:41] for any salary, right? We are currently shooting ourselves in the foot with this, but well,
[00:09:44] in reality, not for any salary, right? But we have a lot of such
[00:09:48] technical staff or primarily technical and and marketing staff whose
[00:09:51] jobs are similar elsewhere and where higher salaries are offered,
[00:09:54] so the situation is bad, in short, at least the halls are full,
[00:09:58] people want to come to the Drama Theater for some time, you can only buy
[00:10:01] tickets from resale, does this scalping still
[00:10:05] happen and work in some groups and you have to pay 30 euros more for one
[00:10:09] ticket, and well, I guess it works, but
[00:10:12] I recommend, I also recommend, I've heard that it's actually worth
[00:10:16] still looking at the ticket, what do we have,
[00:10:19] this world of tickets, there are different ones, and precisely, that where Drama Theater tickets
[00:10:23] are sold, to occasionally check for performances, that some
[00:10:26] tickets are released back into general sale, people say that they can also
[00:10:30] buy them quite freely afterwards, but for the next
[00:10:33] time, when the Drama Theater releases tickets, then it's still a round of
[00:10:37] nimble fingers or queueing at four for tickets, something like that, yes,
[00:10:40] yes, what can you do,
[00:10:43] what can you do, but well, it's not a bad problem
[00:10:55] released her official photo, nice, yes, good,
[00:10:58] exactly. So let's review what the portraits of
[00:11:01] previous heads of state
[00:11:03] also convey.
[00:11:06] As it may seem, this
[00:11:09] is like real, this is not that bad. A traveler
[00:11:13] is coming who visited one of Europe's most isolated and seemingly
[00:11:16] windiest places and found herself in a yarn winding
[00:11:19] and potato sack holding
[00:11:21] competition.
[00:11:33] In our foreign news, however, we now switch from the Halloween
[00:11:37] wave to the Christmas
[00:11:38] anticipation wave.
[00:11:45] Today we start with something very ugly, namely supermodel
[00:11:48] Heidi Klum's Halloween costume. In previous
[00:11:51] years, she has been both Medusa and a little worm, but this year
[00:11:55] her very large makeup and costume team outdid themselves and
[00:11:58] turned Heidi into her left hand. Already on Halloween morning,
[00:12:02] Heidi started teasing her fans by posting pictures of
[00:12:05] chunks of meat and videos of her hand and makeup. But when
[00:12:09] she finally stepped out of the car in full costume at the party,
[00:12:13] everyone gasped with all their might.
[00:12:27] In addition to human monsters, the weekend also saw four-legged Halloween
[00:12:30] celebrants. In London, Hyde Park, for example, there was a party specifically
[00:12:34] for dachshunds, where short-legged dogs were seen dressed as
[00:12:38] spiders, dinosaurs, pumpkins, and
[00:12:42] other characters. And
[00:12:44] dogs and cats living across the ocean in Chicago
[00:12:47] did not get off easy either, who, to the delight of their owners, had to embody, among other things,
[00:12:51] Ramen, a poker player, and a police officer.
[00:12:58] In Guatemala, the Day of the Dead was celebrated with giant
[00:13:02] kites. For the 127th time, the
[00:13:05] kite festival features handmade kites made of bamboo and silk paper
[00:13:09] or fabric, through which the earth is connected to the sky.
[00:13:12] The giant kites can be up to 20 meters high, and it takes
[00:13:15] up to nine months to make
[00:13:19] them. The tradition began in the 19th
[00:13:22] century, when people started flying kites
[00:13:25] to ward off evil spirits and guide the departed to eternal
[00:13:29] peace. UNESCO included the tradition in
[00:13:32] 2024 as a representative list of the intangible
[00:13:35] cultural heritage of humanity.
[00:13:41] But hardly has Halloween passed when Christmas anticipation begins.
[00:13:45] In Caracas, Venezuela, interim President Delcy Rodríguez ceremoniously lit
[00:13:48] the Christmas light installations and
[00:13:51] called on Venezuelans to support each other and stand united.
[00:13:55] Participants expressed hope that Christmas would bring joy to a country that
[00:13:58] is still recovering from a devastating summer earthquake that claimed more than
[00:14:02] 6,500 lives. The Christmas spirit was also helped by
[00:14:05] Santa Claus, with whom people could take
[00:14:07] pictures.
[00:14:12] Let's continue with a battle. In London, two knights
[00:14:15] dressed in armor dueled.
[00:14:16] rüütlit.
[00:14:22] But what separated them from historical truth was only the fact
[00:14:26] that they did not ride towards each other on horseback, but sat on bicycle
[00:14:29] saddles, and as custom dictates, the winner was the one who
[00:14:32] knocked the opponent off their saddle with a lance. Under the gaze of
[00:14:36] hundreds of cheering spectators, Gantholomiu
[00:14:39] the First was declared the winner.
[00:14:43] In Peru, preparations are underway for Pope Leo's visit next
[00:14:46] week. In a cafe in the capital, Lima, a cappuccino with the Holy Father's
[00:14:49] picture is offered for the occasion. Two special design coffees
[00:14:53] are available. On one, the Pope is smiling, on the other,
[00:14:56] praying. The Pope begins his first South American tour in
[00:15:00] Kais, continues in Argentina, and concludes in Peru, where he had previously
[00:15:04] served as bishop.
[00:15:15] At the end of last week, the official
[00:15:18] portrait photos of President Ülle Madise
[00:15:21] were published. And I imagine that
[00:15:25] already this week, many state institutions, for whom it is
[00:15:28] mandatory, have already put them up on the wall. But we asked photographer
[00:15:32] Mardo Männimäe to evaluate them. So how interested are you and...
[00:15:35] kuidas kui suure huviga sina ja...
[00:15:38] how important an event is this for a photographer when the official photo of the
[00:15:41] first person of the state is released? Does it interest
[00:15:45] you as a photographer? Do you definitely want to see what's there? Hello Marko, to be honest
[00:15:48] with you,
[00:15:52] I knew it came out, but I would be lying if
[00:15:56] I said I was excited. Why
[00:15:58] not? I believe that in my daily work, I
[00:16:02] portray people every day, so for
[00:16:06] me it's everyday life, so I
[00:16:09] don't wait. But we asked you to review it
[00:16:13] and express your opinion about it. Now that you've seen it, it's different
[00:16:17] from how it's usually done. What rating do you give it? How do you like it?
[00:16:21] I think personally, I really like this
[00:16:25] picture, simply because looking through history, how presidents
[00:16:28] have been portrayed before, then
[00:16:31] I like its modernity.
[00:16:34] I've heard that people may have criticized the background a
[00:16:38] bit, but like every photo, the caption
[00:16:42] is also very important, and the caption also says
[00:16:45] that this is our president's wish,
[00:16:49] and I think that should be respected. Tarvi Laaman is the artist
[00:16:52] of this artwork, against whose background the president wanted to be photographed. What do you
[00:16:56] gather when you see that our country has such a president? What do you say
[00:17:00] about her? Trustworthy,
[00:17:03] I really like it, I know that there are standards through
[00:17:07] the ages, if you look at these pictures, that at some point they were blue, light,
[00:17:11] dark, very clean and conservative,
[00:17:15] then, this also says something about our president, exactly that
[00:17:18] she is bold, she dares to be a
[00:17:21] little different, and she asserted herself,
[00:17:25] so we do it. How the subject should stand, the placement of hands
[00:17:29] in a portrait is very difficult, this is a smaller portrait here, you can't see it, but if we
[00:17:32] enlarge it, then we see that her hands are crossed over her chest, which generally
[00:17:36] photographers don't like. It's a closed pose, it should be more
[00:17:40] open, I don't know where this myth comes from, I don't know either, is it a myth? Yes, it's
[00:17:43] completely a myth, because when I portray a person, whether it's an
[00:17:47] actor, a top politician, or some foreign author who has written
[00:17:50] a book, then I make them comfortable, I let them be in all
[00:17:54] poses that are recognized, and if someone
[00:17:58] says it's a closed pose, then I say, from what angle? It's that if
[00:18:01] a person talks to you for a long time, they need their hands to rest, or we
[00:18:05] are actually dealing with that visual, I want... I want them to be confident
[00:18:09] and calm. If they feel calm and confident
[00:18:13] in that position, then I couldn't take a better pose.
[00:18:16] At the same time, there's such an open smile, the columns are visible, no
[00:18:19] president has done that before, how do you rate
[00:18:23] that? Maybe it was time, maybe it was time for one, well, times
[00:18:26] have changed. If we think 20 years ago, 30 years ago,
[00:18:30] being in Estonia, living, and today,
[00:18:33] where it's a wonderful country
[00:18:36] to do your own things, whether you're an entrepreneur, an artist, whether
[00:18:40] you're a mother or you're a father, these are the best conditions
[00:18:43] ever, I think. And why not smile?
[00:18:47] I, this is so bold, this portrait is full
[00:18:51] of so much information that shows that I stand
[00:18:54] for myself and and actually we
[00:18:57] can, you can also be a person who every day just
[00:19:00] complains to everyone, or why not
[00:19:03] smile? Toomas Volkmann took this picture, and
[00:19:07] a separate creative segment was made by Pealtnägija about the making
[00:19:11] of this picture, a small excerpt from it, so
[00:19:15] all this is a lot, but well, let's try one way
[00:19:17] or another. It came as a surprise to
[00:19:20] me that we're taking an official photo, and she says, "I'd like to do it in the gallery, and I'd like
[00:19:24] to do it against the background of Tarvi Laaman's pictures." What was your first
[00:19:28] thought? I thought, "How am
[00:19:30] I really going to manage this?" And I remember when I came
[00:19:34] into that room and I saw that the whole... it's full
[00:19:38] of these incredibly vibrant, such
[00:19:42] vibrant, even screaming
[00:19:45] wallpaper-like paintings are
[00:19:48] covered, and and they are already so
[00:19:51] strong as objects, so I thought, well,
[00:19:55] what's going to happen here now?
[00:19:59] Okay, let's try one more smile, yes, will it
[00:20:02] come? Yes, nice, nice, yes,
[00:20:05] good, exactly, I'll take more.
[00:20:08] Yes, well, but the president has gone a step further, she says
[00:20:12] that it's not absolutely necessary to use that official photo, she has two more official photos,
[00:20:15] let's look at those. One is like, well,
[00:20:19] taken against a natural background, against a
[00:20:22] hayfield, let's say, and the wind even moves
[00:20:26] her hair, such a portrait still exists. I like
[00:20:29] how she thinks, I think the Estonian president should
[00:20:32] have new portraits taken of herself every quarter, it's part of the artist's
[00:20:36] life, that you are fresh and developing within it and you also enjoy
[00:20:40] the process, because and this too, this is also an official picture,
[00:20:43] yes, against a forest background and also such a kind, kind smile is still
[00:20:47] on her face, yes, a kind smile, well, a lot,
[00:20:50] maybe, but a kind half-smile, yes, I imagine
[00:20:54] they had a very fun shooting day, and they also had some laughs there,
[00:20:58] yes, but let's look at other pictures too. Well, let's go back in history,
[00:21:02] let's look at Päts's picture. The time was different, well, it's clear that it's something completely
[00:21:05] different, that the person is still the president and is serious about it,
[00:21:09] time has changed. At that time, being
[00:21:12] a person in Estonia was much more difficult
[00:21:16] than today, so that face speaks for itself. But
[00:21:20] Lennart Meri, I don't know, do we still see a slight kind smile
[00:21:24] or a slight smirk or is it not completely serious anymore? I think it's still a strong smirk
[00:21:27] and I use that word a lot when I portray people,
[00:21:31] we smirk, I want to see what your face then shows when you smirk
[00:21:35] and it is a smirk, yes, but at the same time it's also
[00:21:38] a simple official chain, it's not a blue-black-white flag in the background, it's not with that
[00:21:41] a simple picture, it's a simple picture, but when you actually think about it, then that time
[00:21:45] also shows a little, how many we are talking about presidents, but we are also talking about
[00:21:49] skills. In the past, today
[00:21:52] portraiture skills of photographers are on a completely different level, we
[00:21:55] are very modern, we are like in the world, like in America, like
[00:21:59] in Europe, they are doing it, so these are perhaps simpler ones, and
[00:22:02] this is also similar, even Arnald Rüütel
[00:22:06] also smirks, yes he smirks. I have
[00:22:10] been involved in various projects,
[00:22:13] mm, alongside his interviews, photographing various shows
[00:22:17] he participated in, and that's him, that's... I would say that's a big
[00:22:21] smile for him. With pots, there's a strange
[00:22:23] thing, that at the moment you're doing it and looking at it,
[00:22:27] you don't notice, but as soon as the next president comes, you feel how much
[00:22:30] this method, how he is recorded or
[00:22:33] immortalized, has moved so much with the times, everything has moved forward and
[00:22:37] here you can feel it immediately too, that
[00:22:40] you understand, and here is also President Kaljulaid's first photo, she
[00:22:44] also had a second photo taken during her term, I really like this first photo, it's
[00:22:47] very warm, having also been involved in different projects, then
[00:22:51] I really like this first picture, I like its tonality,
[00:22:55] that it doesn't have so much brightness there, a beautiful
[00:22:58] portrait is this first one. Well, and one more picture we have to look at, Alar
[00:23:02] Karis's photo is also visible, and but here there is still a slight, slight kind
[00:23:06] smirk on his face, yes, I have to sadly admit that unfortunately
[00:23:10] I have not been able to do this work, I hope that
[00:23:14] that it will open up sometime in the future, especially for the president,
[00:23:17] that I would say, I see...
[00:23:20] further with each of these pictures, where the photographer
[00:23:23] has also been taken, who has started to play
[00:23:26] with this more boldly. Do you talk about that too, whether it's good to hold your hand like this or not? What do you
[00:23:30] say about that? Well, you know,
[00:23:33] if I had been able to portray the ex-president
[00:23:36] today, then I don't know where I would have gone, I would have
[00:23:39] given the opportunity for it to be born
[00:23:43] when the moment is right. And people often think, everyone
[00:23:46] always thinks that in my opinion, only those who actually do it are allowed to think. Well? You have, you
[00:23:50] haven't photographed the president for a portrait, but you have photographed the prime minister.
[00:23:54] Kristjan Michael, have you taken a picture of yourself, how happy are you with this work, you see you're holding
[00:23:57] your hand the same way as like in prison, we made many different
[00:24:01] versions and this specific portrait was made for one of my
[00:24:05] own personal projects, then I was able to direct him as I wished,
[00:24:09] why did you want such a picture? Because,
[00:24:12] uh, I was, uh, these
[00:24:16] rooms, that flag, that table, that emotion and just...
[00:24:20] open up too, because uh
[00:24:22] Mr. Prime Minister is firm like his demeanor, how he carries himself, and I kind of
[00:24:26] broke that, that he wanted to be in one pose, but after about
[00:24:29] 20 minutes I feel like I was able to open him up, so here's
[00:24:33] a selection and different pictures that you have, what you have done, portrayed, different famous
[00:24:37] people, who is easier to photograph, whether, uh, whether people
[00:24:40] who are known to the public or those who are not, the easiest person to photograph is someone
[00:24:44] who is interested in being in a portrait, so if you have to, you don't have to enchant them,
[00:24:48] that's why it's serving. There it is. It's easy, a person comes, they have a great sincere desire
[00:24:52] to be in the picture, they do it, they listen to you, and I wouldn't bring
[00:24:55] out any tricks here, but it's just that if they themselves are interested, for example, actors are very
[00:24:59] easy, do you see interest in Ülle Mandri's case, that there's interest here,
[00:25:03] I see that he's interested, but I also see such excitement, that he doesn't quite
[00:25:07] know what awaits him and he enjoys it to the fullest, so we could take a new picture again
[00:25:11] after some time, yes, uh, in that sense, that my phone is on, if
[00:25:15] I like that idea myself, that
[00:25:18] uh, why not? not photograph our president more
[00:25:21] than once during his term of office. Thank you very much,
[00:25:25] Mardo Männimägi for coming
[00:25:34] playing. It's like real. It's so
[00:25:37] crazy. A traveler comes to visit, who went to one of Europe's most
[00:25:41] isolated and seemingly windiest places and ended up
[00:25:44] in a yarn winding and potato sack holding
[00:25:47] competition.
[00:25:55] turns out that real men still cry, we talk about
[00:25:58] masculinity with Karl Robert Saaremäe, Sveta Grigorjeva
[00:26:02] and Mart Juur. Men
[00:26:04] cry.
[00:26:12] What if a storm blows the roof off a substation and the electricity goes out
[00:26:15] for days? We have our own preserves, then we have
[00:26:19] various beans. What we have at home here, but that's not a crisis stock, is it? Or
[00:26:23] if sirens blare across the city. Do you and your
[00:26:26] loved ones know how to act in such a case, keep away from windows
[00:26:29] I guess? How about some curtains then. pull them.
[00:26:33] On November 2nd, a new series begins, which provides vital
[00:26:36] skills for coping in difficult situations, so that everyone is
[00:26:40] clear, what if. Tonight, at
[00:26:43] 8:00 PM.
[00:26:50] An important part of literature has always strived for a deeper understanding
[00:26:53] of people. How close is it possible to get
[00:26:57] to the longed-for answers.
[00:26:59] Plekktrummi's guest tonight is the recently published
[00:27:03] writer Timmashilevi, we invite you to watch tonight
[00:27:06] at 10 PM on ETV
[00:27:09] 2.
[00:27:14] Mosquito bites are for us an annoying few minutes of
[00:27:18] itching, but for veterinarians and scientists these same gnats have become
[00:27:21] a worrying research object.
[00:27:25] Are Estonian mosquitoes dangerous? This is
[00:27:28] now the Tyrophilaria reepens separated from a human.
[00:27:41] We try to catch a year fish, ozone tonight at 8:30 PM.
[00:27:56] Men who have loved extreme tourism, been
[00:27:59] to who knows where and who knows how dangerous regions. have now
[00:28:03] embarked on the picturesque Faroe Islands, is it a bit like
[00:28:06] such an aging and calming
[00:28:10] down happening or why did you go to the Faroe Islands?
[00:28:13] Uh, well, I wouldn't say calming down, uh, already
[00:28:16] on the first day we got to experience the Faroe weather conditions, which are actually
[00:28:19] very, very extreme, the wind, the rain, I wouldn't
[00:28:23] say it's calm, well, let's clarify where the Faroe Islands are located and how
[00:28:26] to get there at all, where did you start from? The Faroe
[00:28:30] Islands are an archipelago located...
[00:28:33] "between Iceland and Norway and near Great Britain
[00:28:36] and it is considered one of Europe's most isolated
[00:28:40] places, so you can get there by plane
[00:28:43] from Copenhagen, Oslo,
[00:28:47] Iceland and that's how we went from Copenhagen.
[00:28:50] Scheduled flights fly on a frequent schedule or
[00:28:54] is it rather a more luxurious option to go there? Well, there
[00:28:57] it's more like half the flights get cancelled because the wind is just so strong
[00:29:01] and our flight was actually cancelled and the other flight
[00:29:05] was delayed by eight hours, so yes, it's a challenge to get
[00:29:08] there, but when you get there, it's beautiful. Well, on your YouTube
[00:29:11] channel, you made a long show about all of this and
[00:29:15] we'll watch a clip from it right now. You already mentioned the tremendous wind
[00:29:19] and rain, and well, when you say wind and rain, you don't really mean
[00:29:22] it, but look what's there, all these days it's
[00:29:25] such weather, then I don't know how much you even see in this video,
[00:29:29] we're just in the fog for three days.
[00:29:39] "I'm completely soaked right now and we've been
[00:29:42] hiking for, I don't know, 40 minutes, maybe 30 minutes,
[00:29:46] the wind is starting to get
[00:29:52] physically painful". "I have
[00:29:55] never
[00:30:39] seen anything
[00:30:40] like this,
[00:30:43] oh my god, it seems to me that reasonable people stayed indoors,
[00:30:47] I didn't see other people hiking on the trail,
[00:30:50] and there was really no one there in my opinion, was there no one at all on that
[00:30:54] island, no one hiking, there was really no one
[00:30:57] hiking, but it..."
