[00:00:00] I can't imagine it, if it were to happen, then that would be
[00:00:03] one shareholder where I would predict that then the election results would still be
[00:00:07] questioned, that then someone's long
[00:00:10] fingers would have sinned there. If defeat comes,
[00:00:14] uh, then could we also expect some kind of
[00:00:17] Capitol riot-like
[00:00:19] thing?
[00:00:22] I would like to hope not, I haven't really seen
[00:00:25] such an analysis from analysts in America that
[00:00:28] it is considered probable.
[00:00:30] "But Trump has surprised me before, so I wouldn't really believe in its repetition today.
[00:00:34] Well, it has also been said that it is feared that
[00:00:38] he will also weaken NATO.
[00:00:42] Yes, NATO is also definitely one of the critical issues
[00:00:45] that needs to be monitored, meaning that if he is still
[00:00:49] deeply offended, then Ukraine,
[00:00:52] NATO, and
[00:00:54] such
[00:00:56] handover, we were aware of liberal-democratic principles are also those that
[00:01:00] uh, the election results are such that
[00:01:04] Republicans win in both chambers,
[00:01:07] mm, then will we look at the rest of the world with
[00:01:11] such a gaze that the elections were
[00:01:12] rigged?
[00:01:15] I don't believe we will, because uh, some
[00:01:19] processes in that country still
[00:01:22] function, and going along with such
[00:01:26] a questionable theory, I think, will
[00:01:29] not do any good for democracy.
[00:01:33] However, we will definitely see a very confident Trump,
[00:01:36] who wants to beat his chest and say that everything he has done
[00:01:39] so far has been right and should be continued in the same way. However, he still
[00:01:43] has a problem, because his
[00:01:46] rating today is around -20-30 in the
[00:01:49] latest polls, meaning that this delta is
[00:01:52] negative, and when politicians' popularity ratings
[00:01:55] fall into the negative, it is usually
[00:01:58] very difficult to come back
[00:02:02] from there, Republicans, regardless of Trump, would still want
[00:02:06] the next president to be from their party, so it might happen
[00:02:10] that a problem arises
[00:02:18] is currently very closely connected to America. The war in Iran has
[00:02:22] affected all of us since February.
[00:02:25] We looked back at the wars in which the US has participated with
[00:02:28] the Vice-Chairman of the National Defence Committee and Iraq War veteran Leo
[00:02:32] Kunnas, asking where it has won and where it has lost.
[00:02:46] The United States has been among the victors in both the First
[00:02:50] and Second World Wars, meaning that actually the current American
[00:02:54] hegemony in the world is based
[00:02:57] on these two wars. This naturally
[00:03:00] transitioned into the Cold War, which the United States also
[00:03:03] won. We also have to admit that since
[00:03:07] the beginning of the 20th century, the United States has won all
[00:03:10] small military conflicts or operations that they have conducted
[00:03:14] in South and
[00:03:15] Central America.
[00:03:19] But we also have in mind the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan,
[00:03:22] Iraq, Vietnam. Undoubtedly, these are not won
[00:03:26] wars, and we still judge the victory or defeat of wars by
[00:03:30] whether political goals were achieved or
[00:03:33] not. And the first, although the Korean War
[00:03:36] ended in a so-called draw, if you can say that, then the Vietnam War was
[00:03:40] a very clear defeat, and basically the whole of Vietnam became
[00:03:43] communist, meaning that war was the first of those great
[00:03:46] defeats. Well, the second undoubtedly is
[00:03:48] Afghanistan,
[00:03:53] meaning in Afghanistan, where we also fought with other
[00:03:56] allies for a total of 20 years.
[00:04:01] "but we condemn the Taliban regime.
[00:04:15] It is not only repressing its own people, it is threatening people
[00:04:18] everywhere by sponsoring and sheltering and
[00:04:22] supplying terrorists, by aiding and abetting murder,
[00:04:25] the Taliban regime is committing murder.
[00:04:30] In the war, of course, we did not achieve any political
[00:04:33] goals, meaning the Taliban, just as they were in power
[00:04:36] there before, are in power again. The loss of Afghanistan was
[00:04:40] bad in the sense that it very seriously encouraged totalitarian
[00:04:43] states, both China and Russia, that if such a withdrawal,
[00:04:47] as unfortunately happened, had not been so unsuccessful, then
[00:04:51] probably Russia might not
[00:04:54] have dared to launch a widespread
[00:04:58] attack against Ukraine at all. With Iran. are the United States on a winning or rather
[00:05:01] losing course? Well, right now it's clear that political
[00:05:05] goals cannot be achieved in the same way, or here there has even been the
[00:05:08] problem of what the political goal even is?
[00:05:12] military began major combat
[00:05:15] operations in Iran. Our
[00:05:19] objective is to defend the American people by
[00:05:22] eliminating eminent threats from the
[00:05:25] Iranian regime,
[00:05:27] vicious group of very hard,
[00:05:31] terrible people. Israel's goal is clear,
[00:05:35] Iran must not have the capability to
[00:05:37] create nuclear weapons. Israel is simply so small, half the
[00:05:41] territory of Estonia. So a couple of nuclear strikes and, practically,
[00:05:44] well, the state of Israel would essentially
[00:05:47] be over. So they have a very clear goal, which are the United
[00:05:50] States' goals in this war, well, if the
[00:05:54] President Trump administration cannot properly
[00:05:57] formulate them, then it's even harder for me to
[00:06:00] do so. At a time when the White House is spending its resources on Iran, a new Cold
[00:06:04] War is essentially underway, and the opponent
[00:06:08] this time is pragmatic China. But, of course, if we
[00:06:11] compare this current Cold War with the previous Cold War, it's clear
[00:06:15] that the leading country of totalitarian states,
[00:06:18] China, is economically much stronger, so this is not
[00:06:21] comparable to the Soviet Union, and that is why this
[00:06:25] confrontation is much harder, and its outcome is also much
[00:06:28] more unpredictable.
[00:06:33] Last week, an extraordinary ceasefire took place in
[00:06:36] Ukraine's Olesky. This is undoubtedly a very welcome
[00:06:40] initiative, but unfortunately it also seems to be.
[00:08:51] USA, Melania Trump. We highly appreciate these efforts, and
[00:08:55] of course, this can become a precedent. Yes, Melania
[00:08:58] Trump and her initiative played a decisive
[00:09:01] role, but only because she is Donald
[00:09:04] Trump's wife, and Putin has now met
[00:09:08] Donald Trump. Ceasefire, Tuesday, 27th.
[00:09:42] that this is the first time since 2022
[00:09:45] that a ceasefire has been established over such
[00:09:48] a large section
[00:09:50] of the front,
[00:09:54] a humanitarian mission was accompanied by film crews from one Ukrainian and one American TV channel
[00:09:58] and about a dozen and a half Russian media outlets. After
[00:10:02] spending several hours in Olesky, members of the humanitarian mission distributed
[00:10:06] humanitarian aid to residents who had decided to stay in the city. Those who wished
[00:10:09] to evacuate were taken to Russia as well as to
[00:10:13] territory controlled by Ukraine. Melania Trump wrote that 800
[00:10:17] people
[00:10:18] managed to leave the city.
[00:10:21] SVO, they occupied this.
[00:11:34] I believe that this was only possible exclusively because
[00:11:38] it is absolutely clearly linked to the elections in
[00:11:41] the United States and agreements between Putin and
[00:11:45] Trump. In my opinion, the pre-election effect of this action
[00:11:48] in the USA will be minimal.
[00:11:51] Americans are primarily interested in the internal situation.
[00:12:25] Kherson came under attack again,
[00:12:27] the city hospital.
[00:13:13] era began after 2020. With the support
[00:13:16] of Beijing's influence, a new reality is being imposed, as the
[00:13:20] documentary that will begin
[00:13:21] shortly shows.
[00:13:27] Discussion on the show "Impulse". Writer Mihkel Mutt published Juhan
[00:13:31] Viiding's farewell letters without the permission of the heirs. I still
[00:13:35] want this law to apply equally to everyone,
[00:13:38] so that no exception is made
[00:13:41] for Mihkel Mutt, a very famous and respected
[00:13:44] writer. These are personal
[00:13:47] materials. Undoubtedly, permission must be asked. Who owns
[00:13:51] the legacy of great creators? Among others, Robert
[00:13:54] Linna, Jim Ashilevi, Indrek Tarand and Ülle
[00:13:57] Rajasaar discuss on Tuesday evening at eight on "Impulse".
[00:14:32] last November, I was arrested arrival at Hong Kong
[00:14:35] airport.
[00:14:40] As these police officers escort me through the terminal, I
[00:14:44] discreetly filmed the scene with my mobile
[00:14:46] phone.
[00:14:52] Will you explain me why I am banned to enter home? so we
[00:14:56] considered all round the situation and all the
[00:14:59] factors concerning your request for
[00:15:02] entry in Hong Kong, we are apologized to say that you are refused for Hong
[00:15:06] Kong.
[00:15:11] after questioning me about the purpose of my visit and detaining me for 3
[00:15:15] hours, the authorities put me a flight
[00:15:18] back to France and banned me from the
[00:15:20] territory.
[00:15:37] I've been here many times before, I used to work in China, but they said I was
[00:15:41] endangering national
[00:15:42] security,
[00:15:45] expelled in the middle of the night, I watched Hong Kong disappear into the
[00:15:49] mist through the aircraft
[00:15:50] window.
[00:15:55] The Twilight of a city that is now off limits to
[00:15:58] me.
[00:16:07] To tell Hong Kong's story from the inside, we worked
[00:16:11] undercover.
[00:16:15] Closely monitored, our cameramen had to evade surveillance by these
[00:16:19] plane clothes
[00:16:20] agents.
[00:16:29] The former British colony once free-spirited and defiant,
[00:16:33] now lives in a climate of fear.
[00:16:43] In Hong Kong today, dissidents are imprisoned, the media
[00:16:47] censored and activists hunted down even
[00:16:51] overseas. I'm more of million dollar, and this is
[00:16:55] not a metapor, it is a price that the Hong Kong government put on
[00:16:58] my head for just wanting a say in our
[00:17:02] future.
[00:17:06] Those
[00:17:22] They all know it, by speaking out their taking
[00:17:24] risks.
[00:17:31] This filming will be considered an offense by the national security law in Hong
[00:17:33] Kong.
[00:17:39] From Hong Kong to London and
[00:17:42] Taiwan where dissidents have sought refuge in
[00:17:45] exile. This is the story the Chinese authorities have
[00:17:49] tried to prevent being told: how China silenced Hong Kong.
[00:18:41] For many years, Hong Kong was an island of
[00:18:44] freedom. Foreign journalists were welcome, the
[00:18:48] press was free, the judiciary independent, and the
[00:18:51] political opposition vibrant.
[00:18:54] An exception within authoritarian
[00:18:57] China. The city enjoyed a special
[00:19:00] status, a high degree of autonomy secured at the time of the
[00:19:04] Handover.
[00:19:13] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
[00:19:16] to the Handover ceremony for Hong
[00:19:18] Kong.
[00:19:21] In 1997, the United Kingdom returned this small
[00:19:25] territory to China. Seized
[00:19:27] in the 19th century, it had been ruled by the British crown for
[00:19:31] 156
[00:19:32] years.
[00:19:35] China will tonight take response.
[00:20:16] I was a high school student at that time
[00:20:19] and we were taught to um to sing the national ambulan
[00:20:23] of um China like um
[00:20:25] maybe one year before to prepare for
[00:20:28] it.
[00:20:38] I went to watch the firework,
[00:20:42] people around me have kind of fastic mood
[00:20:46] at that moment.
[00:20:59] I also went to
[00:21:02] see how the PLA
[00:21:05] tanked you, drove to a military
[00:21:08] camp in
[00:21:09] Cowdentown.
[00:21:15] This were the same troops
[00:21:18] killing you.
[00:21:32] It was such an uncertain moment to me,
[00:21:36] I was worried about
[00:21:38] whether the existing human rights
[00:21:42] and rule of law could be preserved after the
[00:21:46] the fact that we were handing over Hong Kong.
[00:21:51] to a large communist
[00:21:53] tyranny,
[00:21:58] now Hong Kong people are to run Hong
[00:22:01] Kong, that is the
[00:22:04] promise, and that is the
[00:22:08] unshakable destiny.
[00:22:12] I made a speech pointing out the we were, and we wouldn't forget Hong
[00:22:16] Kong, and it was very moving.
[00:22:21] 'my name's Chris Patten,
[00:22:25] um, I was the last British governor of Hong Kong.
[00:22:37] On that July evening, Chris Patton handed the colony over
[00:22:41] to its
[00:22:41] destiny.
[00:22:45] The empire withdrew slowly beneath Hong Kong's
[00:22:49] humid rain.
[00:22:57] Just before I left, um, I was visiting a mental
[00:23:00] hospital, and one man calls to
[00:23:03] me, Governor Patten, he said, would you
[00:23:06] argue that Britain was the first great
[00:23:09] parliamentary democracy, free society, and I said,
[00:23:12] well, I'm not vain, but lot of people would say
[00:23:16] that, and he said, would you say that, China is the...
[00:23:20] last great communist
[00:23:22] tyranny, and I said, well, I put it in quite
[00:23:26] those terms, but I see what you mean, so he said, well, can you explain this to
[00:23:29] me, how is it that one of the greatest democracies in the
[00:23:33] world is handing over to a free
[00:23:36] society to a communist regime without
[00:23:40] ever asking people what they wanted, and I
[00:23:43] said to my private secretary when I came away, it's extraordinary
[00:23:47] thing, the man with the most significant question in Hong Kong. is in a mental
[00:23:51] hospital.
[00:23:55] when he left office, Chris Patten departed, hoping that China would
[00:23:58] honor its promises and
[00:24:02] that Hong Kong's special status would be
[00:24:04] preserved for 50 years until 2047, as
[00:24:08] agreed.
[00:24:11] For the first few years after we left
[00:24:15] Hong Kong, um, the Chinese didn't behave too
[00:24:18] badly. did all go so smoothly um until
[00:24:22] china started breaking its word, which it did, and we know now
[00:24:26] the Chinese don't keep their word.
[00:24:43] after the handover, new generation emerged in Hong
[00:24:47] Kong, neither British nor truly.
[00:24:50] Chinese
[00:24:53] as Beijing tightened its grip, young people
[00:24:56] forged their own identity.
[00:24:59] They now identified themselves simply as Hong
[00:25:02] Kongers. I'm Carman Law and I was
[00:25:05] born and raising Hong Kong, I'm now 30 years old
[00:25:09] in
[00:25:14] 2012 there was a student
[00:25:16] movement because the government.
[00:25:20] uh were trying to reform the educational system
[00:25:23] again and they want to put out a
[00:25:26] patriotic education.
[00:25:30] lead one of the concern group in our secondary school,
[00:25:34] that time was the first time that i really
[00:25:37] involved in the social
[00:25:38] events.
[00:25:44] concerned by china's growing influence, young hong kongers
[00:25:48] began to become politically.
[00:26:09] Faced with the student mobilization, the patriotic
[00:26:11] education reform was abandoned.
[00:26:15] Joshua Wong became the face of opposition to
[00:26:18] Beijing. Two years later he would once again be
[00:26:21] on the front line as the protest movement spread throughout Hong Kong
[00:26:25] society.
[00:26:32] For three months, more than 1 million people occupied Hong
[00:26:36] Kong's main
[00:26:36] roads.
[00:26:40] The population demanded the introduction of universal
[00:26:43] suffrage, a promise made at the time of the
[00:26:46] handover. To disperse the peaceful
[00:26:50] protesters, police used
[00:26:52] force.
[00:26:55] The police are used tear guests to crack down
[00:26:58] on the protests and people try to protect themselves.
[00:27:02] using
[00:27:03] umbrella,
[00:27:08] so this was the symbol of a non-violent civil
[00:27:12] disobedience, so it was called by the
[00:27:15] media as umbrella
[00:27:17] movement. my name is kim,
[00:27:21] was a professor in Hong Kong,
[00:27:25] never thought of i would become the leader of
[00:27:28] democratic movement.
[00:27:36] After two and a half months of demonstrations, the government
[00:27:39] crushed the protest
[00:27:40] movement.
[00:27:44] China, now led by President Shing Ping, won
[00:27:48] its first major showdown against the pro-democracy
[00:27:51] activists.
[00:27:58] I brotherly prepare myself for the worst
[00:28:00] scenario. because this is the way to show to the
[00:28:04] community that we are committed to democracy, we are
[00:28:08] willing sacrifice our freedom, but at the end, you know,
[00:28:11] I was sentenced for 16 months of
[00:28:13] imprisonment.
[00:28:16] Meanwhile, Joshua Wang was convicted for the first
[00:28:19] time, six months in prison. It was the
[00:28:23] beginning of a long series of sentences to
[00:28:26] come.
[00:28:41] So, by July 2019, my wife and I were sure
[00:28:44] that it was Hong Kong's last chance.
[00:29:34] people were afraid that uh these extradition
[00:29:37] treaty would be weaponized by the
[00:29:41] CCP so that they could take
[00:29:43] anyone or any dissidents in Hong
[00:29:46] Kong into China. In
[00:29:49] China, the conviction rate was and is still over
[00:29:53] 99%. If you are investigated and
[00:29:56] prosecuted, you're definitely going to be
[00:29:59] convicted.
[00:30:05] In the face of the street protests, the extradition bill was
[00:30:08] suspended, but the movement showed no sign of losing
[00:30:12] momentum.
[00:30:15] Five years after the failure of the umbrella movement, Hong Kongers were
[00:30:18] once again demanding universal
[00:30:20] sufferage.
[00:30:23] Joshua Wong's charisma and ideas continued to inspire the
[00:30:26] movement. At just 23 years old, he had become
[00:30:30] one of the leading figures of Hong Kong's... pro-democracy
[00:30:33] movement at the time he shared his concerns
[00:30:36] with me as he prepared to challenge Beijing through the ballot
[00:30:40] box election in Hong Kong is manipulated by
[00:30:43] Beijing, even they lock me up in prison, censor me out from
[00:30:47] bailot, our determination to fight for democracy will never
[00:30:51] be
[00:30:51] eroded.
