[00:00:00] precipitation from North Estonia towards the south. In Virumaa,
[00:00:03] there may be a brief mix of sleet. The wind blows from the west and
[00:00:06] northwest, and in the evening also from the north, 4/9, with gusts up to
[00:00:09] 12, on the coast up to 18 meters per second.
[00:00:13] The temperature is five to 10 degrees.
[00:00:16] Wednesday night will be dry, with rain showers in many
[00:00:19] places during the day. The night air temperature will be between -3
[00:00:23] and plus seven degrees. The day will bring warmth of 4-11
[00:00:27] degrees. On Thursday night, precipitation will depart, and during the day,
[00:00:31] there will be isolated rain showers in Eastern Estonia. The night temperature will be
[00:00:34] 4:11, and during the day 8:11
[00:00:37] degrees. On Friday and Saturday, there will be very few
[00:00:40] rain clouds over Estonia. The air will be cool, and the wind
[00:00:44] will be felt every day. At the moment, one hundred will go and
[00:00:47] another will come after it. Between them,
[00:00:50] in the morning, the desire for a break, it has just
[00:00:54] begun the Võro language week.
[00:00:57] Thank you. Workshops recommend that
[00:01:01] now is the right time for tire changes. Most people
[00:01:04] prefer to wait until the last minute, when the
[00:01:07] weather forecast already shows freezing temperatures. Drivers are
[00:01:10] increasingly considering the cost and, whoever can, tries
[00:01:14] to put winter tires on the car themselves.
[00:01:17] According to mechanics, the grip of summer tires deteriorates already at seven
[00:01:20] degrees Celsius, and one should consider changing tires.
[00:01:24] People somehow think that winter this year will not come as usual,
[00:01:28] that, in short, "they go and change them nicely,
[00:01:32] but you can still do it during the day, definitely. It's very
[00:01:36] difficult to compare, because last year, I think, there was snow on the ground at that time.
[00:01:39] Now it's a proper pickle season, let's be honest. These tire piles here
[00:01:43] are still waiting for a bigger rush. You can get a tire change for your free time
[00:01:47] even tomorrow. And according to mechanics, it's worth doing this trip right now
[00:01:50] before the first sleet. Many who live outside the city of Tartu
[00:01:54] take it out on the rest of the world? still inevitably experience night frosts, roads can already
[00:01:57] be slippery in places and and..."
[00:02:00] "the main thing is this fear, in Estonian weather conditions, the weather
[00:02:04] can be 20 degrees Celsius at one moment and snow on the ground at the next moment.
[00:02:07] There are plenty of tire workshops in Tartu, but rather the number of customers
[00:02:10] has decreased over the year, because due to the general cost of living, some
[00:02:14] people have started changing tires at home or at a neighbor's place.
[00:02:17] Usually, either the bolts are too tight
[00:02:20] and won't come off anymore, or there are
[00:02:24] problems with balancing. Due to tariffs
[00:02:27] imposed on Chinese tires, the prices of cheaper tires
[00:02:30] have risen by almost half this year.
[00:02:34] After the sports news, Välisilm is on air, where Astrid Kannel
[00:02:37] reveals from multiple angles this great political spectacle
[00:02:41] we see in the USA. Have a nice evening!
[00:02:57] Tonight at 21:40 comments.
[00:03:04] After that, a documentary about the silent
[00:03:07] era in Hong Kong will be screened.
[00:03:10] With the support of Beijing's influence, a new reality is being imposed
[00:03:14] that has changed the city beyond recognition.
[00:03:18] Välisilma Tonk tonight on Estonian
[00:03:22] Television.
[00:03:30] On Tuesday on television, should banks compensate clients for
[00:03:34] losses incurred in cases of financial fraud? Why
[00:03:37] electric scooter sellers often keep important information
[00:03:40] to themselves. We share film recommendations from the PÖFF program
[00:03:44] and trainer N. will settle everything. We start at
[00:03:47] 6:45.
[00:14:11] Good evening from Välisilm, since there are essentially
[00:14:14] only a few selected
[00:14:17] hours left until the midterm elections in the United States, our program
[00:14:20] is practically entirely dedicated to this topic,
[00:14:23] including all stories and interviews tonight.
[00:14:27] Tomorrow's US Congress midterm elections do not bode well for President Donald Trump.
[00:14:31] It's difficult to understand what the
[00:14:35] US political goals are in the
[00:14:37] Iran
[00:14:39] Ceasefire in Ukraine as a publicity
[00:14:42] stunt.
[00:14:46] In tomorrow's US Congress midterm elections, both the House
[00:14:49] of Representatives and the Senate majority are at stake, and Democrats
[00:14:53] have the opportunity to seize power in both. Rapid changes in US
[00:14:57] foreign policy are unlikely, but a sharper domestic political
[00:15:00] brawl can be expected. Marie Jaan Rohemäe
[00:15:04] continues. US congressional midterms are
[00:15:08] always a satisfaction rating for the incumbent
[00:15:11] president. For Donald Trump's Republicans,
[00:15:14] this is not good
[00:15:15] news this year.
[00:15:21] I think people are really frustrated with inflation, especially with respect to uh gas prices and people areus.
[00:15:25] with some of the corruption that they see in this administration, different
[00:15:29] people care about different things and immigration and the
[00:15:32] enforcement of immigration under this administration has been wildly different
[00:15:36] than in the past. Republicans fear that some of their
[00:15:39] previous supporters might not vote this
[00:15:42] time. Last weekend, Republicans in
[00:15:45] Fairfax County, Virginia, therefore sent out a
[00:15:49] text message emphasizing that staying home would mean
[00:15:52] a vote for higher taxes, energy bills, and
[00:15:56] illegal immigration.
[00:15:59] According to regional party leader Keiti Korka, the campaign has been
[00:16:02] difficult.
[00:16:08] uh talking so much about affordability, when gas prices were
[00:16:11] high under biden, nobody talked about affordability then, and
[00:16:15] the other thing is um, the mainstream media and I'm going to
[00:16:18] say the left in general has just hammered President
[00:16:21] Trump so hard and so it has put lot
[00:16:25] of people or some people into a camp of simply wanting
[00:16:29] to vote against President Trump.
[00:16:32] There are certainly those who are disappointed with Trump's policies among
[00:16:35] Americans without party affiliation.
[00:17:07] The struggles in Texas and Kansas are
[00:17:10] shocking to Korka.
[00:17:12] I really worry, are we gonna is it going to be too little, too
[00:17:16] late for us to sort of turn the course?
[00:17:20] I don't know, unfortunately, we may have to go through a period of
[00:17:24] experiencing some of the socialist
[00:17:26] policies for people to really understand what
[00:17:30] socialism is. Part of the problem right
[00:17:32] now, a high percentage of our young
[00:17:35] people think it so...
[00:18:37] we're talking about, because they show where the democrats and
[00:18:40] bipartisan actually agreement in congress wants to go post
[00:18:44] 2028, which is reasserting congress's role over
[00:18:47] trade policy. At the same time, other countries should consider that
[00:18:51] tariffs will not disappear anymore. there's a lot of reasons about
[00:18:54] that, budget constraints on our end, revenue in the United States, the tariffs
[00:18:58] generate revenue deals that have been negotiated that involve investment commitments
[00:19:02] from other countries that the next president won't just want to give up on. However,
[00:19:06] tariffs may change, and for some European partners, they may
[00:19:09] even decrease, especially since both this and the next
[00:19:12] administration want to cooperate with Europeans against
[00:19:16] China's trade policy. We have a shared
[00:19:19] problem and that shared problem is China, China's export
[00:19:22] capacity. So you are experiencing that in Europe with all of the outflow and
[00:19:25] manufacturing products, automobiles, but not just automobiles, we have our trade
[00:19:29] issues with China. Is there something unified we want to do, US and Europe
[00:19:33] to deal with this? In that case, can we then renegotiate our bilateral trading?
[00:19:41] No matter how tomorrow's elections go, Democrats
[00:19:44] and Republicans will already be moving
[00:19:47] towards the 2028 presidential elections
[00:19:50] the day after tomorrow. Over the next two years, there will be plenty
[00:19:54] to think about for both.
[00:19:58] And in the studio is Anni Karras, an expert in elections and political communication.
[00:20:02] Good evening, with what
[00:20:05] probability will the majority in both chambers now
[00:20:09] go to the Democrats? Good
[00:20:11] evening. These different prediction
[00:20:14] engines and also analysts
[00:20:18] rate this possibility as rather very high, so if
[00:20:21] we now look at both, then maybe the estimate
[00:20:25] is a little lower, but in the view of the House of Representatives, these estimates still range
[00:20:28] between 80-90%, so that is feasible. Whether this also happens in
[00:20:32] the Senate, there is a 50-60%
[00:20:35] probability, in some opinions. A little higher,
[00:20:38] but it seems that a change is coming. But can
[00:20:42] opinion polls not also be somehow
[00:20:46] misleading? And if Democrats, for example, do not
[00:20:50] come to vote, then anything can happen, the result might still
[00:20:53] be that Republicans retain the majority, and
[00:20:57] well, the surprise is that predictions are always
[00:21:00] predictions. The final voter behavior is still decided
[00:21:03] on election day, as it always is. But at the moment, everything
[00:21:07] still indicates that I would say the main point of observation
[00:21:11] is now what will win: money or activity? Because Republicans have much
[00:21:15] more money that has been put into the campaign,
[00:21:18] that number already exceeds one billion
[00:21:21] dollars. At the same time, all surveys again indicate
[00:21:24] that Democrats have much greater motivation to go out and
[00:21:27] vote. Dissatisfaction with Trump is very high, and
[00:21:31] dissatisfaction is known to be a very strong
[00:21:35] argument for activation.
[00:21:38] We know how Donald Trump reacts when
[00:21:41] he doesn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, when he doesn't get
[00:21:44] all the medals and trophies. How will he take it
[00:21:48] if he loses?
[00:21:50] Well, he's already been asked that question, and I think he said in his usual
[00:21:54] arrogant way that
[00:21:57] "I can still veto," meaning that
[00:22:00] he can still veto anything that is decided
[00:22:03] against him. So, he
[00:22:06] certainly won't accept that loss
[00:22:09] easily. But another thing to watch is whether and
[00:22:12] to what extent Republicans will start challenging
[00:22:15] election results. The first situation is already ongoing in some state.
[00:22:19] And there will definitely be more. I believe
[00:22:23] that such deep state stories
[00:22:26] and questioning the legitimacy of elections may arise, but of course
[00:22:29] only in a situation where he does not get a favorable
[00:22:33] result. So, are Democrats ready for the possibility that
[00:22:37] they might win? Do they have brilliant leaders to see?
[00:22:40] Are they ready for all that Maria Rohemäe mentioned
[00:22:44] earlier, that they will start torpedoing everything that Republicans
[00:22:47] do? Well, we can say that this may lead America
[00:22:50] to perhaps a path of confusion. But on the other hand, we will at least
[00:22:54] see some change. Yes, well, Democrats have been
[00:22:58] in American politics as much as Republicans, so there is certainly
[00:23:01] readiness among them, and at the moment there is definitely
[00:23:04] a greater desire to do something. At the same time, it cannot
[00:23:08] be said that they currently have such a very strongly established single
[00:23:12] leader. At the moment, there is still a period of exploration
[00:23:15] among Democrats to understand who could potentially become
[00:23:19] their next presidential candidate, and the next elections are in
[00:23:22] 2028, so I believe that the results
[00:23:26] of these midterm elections will start to show a lot
[00:23:30] about what the power dynamics will be like among Democrats. How is it
[00:23:33] possible that in a country like America, where so
[00:23:37] many people live, where democracy prevails, everyone can
[00:23:40] fight their way to any position, they basically
[00:23:44] cannot find a common brilliant
[00:23:47] candidate? This is half of the American population.
[00:23:50] Well, the key word is probably interests, that interests
[00:23:54] exist both between parties and
[00:23:57] within parties, and there are probably many within the Democrats
[00:24:00] who want to become that number one
[00:24:04] themselves, and that's why this exploration is ongoing. Kamala
[00:24:07] Harris has also been said to potentially try again,
[00:24:11] but within the Democrats, there is a considerable strong sentiment
[00:24:14] among certain groups who
[00:24:18] after she failed once already
[00:24:20] no longer believe in her, so it cannot be assumed from this basis
[00:24:24] that she will run again, although there are talks about her. So, what
[00:24:28] ultimately is it that has disappointed
[00:24:31] voters, including Republican voters, with Donald Trump the
[00:24:35] most? Well, we here imagine it's the hormone crisis,
[00:24:38] maybe, well, we also think about Ukraine, but what is it that has disappointed
[00:24:42] Americans now? Well, the biggest concerns are
[00:24:45] domestic, but these domestic concerns stem
[00:24:49] largely from the same
[00:24:52] issues that you just mentioned. Inflation
[00:24:55] is one of the main concerns. On the topic
[00:24:59] of inflation, I looked at a recent survey, and practically
[00:25:02] 75% of people say they are very
[00:25:05] dissatisfied with how Trump has handled
[00:25:08] this issue. Similarly, there is immigration,
[00:25:12] regarding which he has made abrupt decisions
[00:25:16] that have affected certain voter groups.
[00:25:20] In light of this, one should definitely
[00:25:23] monitor electoral districts with Latin American
[00:25:26] backgrounds and those of Latinos, as there is another very
[00:25:30] significant aspect of dissatisfaction there, and certainly the Iran
[00:25:33] war and everything related to
[00:25:36] energy is under very strong criticism,
[00:25:40] and well, that may also be one of the reasons why, when there was talk for a while that
[00:25:43] he might take another more active step towards Iran, well,
[00:25:47] why not even before the elections then, looking at it.
[00:25:51] Well, yes, I don't believe in that,
[00:25:54] but at the same time, surprises can always happen,
[00:25:57] but just looking at the dissatisfaction in that direction, it is simply very
[00:26:00] unlikely that they would do anything
[00:26:04] immediately before people go to vote. Well, Donald
[00:26:08] Trump has a second term in office,
[00:26:12] basically, the president doesn't have to worry about anything
[00:26:15] anymore, he can do whatever he wants, because he doesn't have to think that he won't
[00:26:19] be elected next time. Is it, if he
[00:26:23] loses, even a substantial problem
[00:26:25] for him? Well, looking at his
[00:26:29] modus operandi so far, we can't be sure that he himself thinks
[00:26:32] this is his last term in office. I say that with a touch of irony,
[00:26:36] but this
[00:26:38] conviction that he is capable of achieving great deeds and
[00:26:42] also striving for the Nobel Peace Prize, in light of all that, I believe he
[00:26:46] may still see that there is something to lose, so he certainly won't
[00:26:49] take that fight lightly.
[00:26:53] And even if it should happen that
[00:26:56] in the Senate, for example, or
[00:27:00] in the House of Representatives, it goes over to the Democrats, then
[00:27:04] it won't be easy for the Democrats, because even if you have a small
[00:27:07] majority, then, for example, in the House of Representatives, they should have at least
[00:27:11] enough votes to overcome something there, for example, to end
[00:27:15] obstructions, no, more precisely in the Senate, they need at least 60, right?
[00:27:18] So, these are the election results that
[00:27:22] we are currently looking at, that it is said that they only need a majority.
[00:27:26] to achieve five or six votes, then those five or six votes or
[00:27:29] or or in reality do not change the big game for the Democrats,
[00:27:33] so uh,
[00:27:36] rather what will happen is that Trump will continue his previous
[00:27:39] style, there will be an even bigger stalemate and
[00:27:42] trench warfare, but results will not
[00:27:46] actually be achieved, which in turn will probably lead to the American people
[00:27:50] being even more dissatisfied than they already are today. Well, how could Donald
[00:27:53] Trump, if he loses,
[00:27:57] We know he has that habit. They have made
[00:28:00] various attempts in the direction of Ukraine, we... we have
[00:28:03] seen that, so that is definitely one place where
[00:28:07] he can continue that direction.
[00:28:09] The other thing that he has threatened a bit here, where
[00:28:13] he has tried to become a bigger friend with various
[00:28:16] autocratic countries than the democratic world thinks is
[00:28:20] reasonable, or should even be the case, well, that is definitely
[00:28:24] another direction, and Iran cannot be left
[00:28:26] unnoticed, because energy
[00:28:30] is one of his strategic
[00:28:33] goals. If you also look at, for example, his decision signed a year
[00:28:36] ago, with which he launched such a large
[00:28:40] artificial intelligence development program, then one of its cornerstones,
[00:28:44] in addition to technological domination, was also
[00:28:47] securing and supplying
[00:28:50] energy. Where can we expect the biggest
[00:28:54] surprises from this
[00:28:56] performance now? Eh, surprises,
[00:28:59] mm
[00:29:01] ee, you'll see? There are
[00:29:05] e.g. Alaska, Ohio, Iowa,
[00:29:09] Texas for sure, Michigan,
[00:29:13] Maine, it is said that these are the six main ones, where
[00:29:16] today the numbers show that with a high
[00:29:20] probability the Democrats will be able to bring about some kind of breakthrough
[00:29:24] there, so those will become the decisive factors, but
[00:29:27] it is definitely worth looking at the voters in the suburbs of
[00:29:31] big cities, who are usually
[00:29:35] unpredictable in their behavior, and whether and how actively
[00:29:38] they will even turn out, and they are also most strongly affected by this inflation,
[00:29:42] and rural areas exactly the same way, so there may be surprises
[00:29:45] in activity or also
[00:29:49] well, precisely, from which side will the activity increase? Well,
[00:29:52] a Democratic victory in Texas,
[00:29:55] how will he definitely comment
[00:29:58] on that somehow, he will somehow say something to the people of Texas
[00:30:02] about it, I can't even imagine it. Well, if that
[00:30:05] were to happen, then that is one state where I would predict that
[00:30:09] the election results would still be called into question, that then
[00:30:13] someone's long fingers sinned there.
[00:30:16] If there is a loss, then could we also expect
[00:30:20] some kind of Capitol riot-like
[00:30:23] thing? I would hope not, I have not
[00:30:26] seen such an analysis from analysts
[00:30:30] in America that it is considered likely, but Trump has
[00:30:34] surprised me before, so, uh, but yes, I would rather
[00:30:37] not believe in its repetition today. Well, it has also been said that it is feared
[00:30:41] that he will also weaken NATO.
[00:30:45] Yes, NATO is also definitely one of the critical topics
[00:30:48] that need to be followed, that is, if he is still
[00:30:52] deeply offended, then Ukraine,
[00:30:54] NATO, and such
[00:30:57] liberal democratic principles are those.
