[00:00:01] so young, but beautiful, or the struggle to win a fashion show for
[00:00:04] dogs, they will overcome all life's
[00:00:07] challenges, and their main weapon is love and
[00:00:11] friendship, stories from Estonian life,
[00:00:15] fashionable dog, today at 9:00 PM

[00:00:47] The Ministry of Internal Affairs has summarized the initial results of the inspection, the police used medical
[00:00:50] data of the population within the law, but there were internal violations.
[00:00:54] The reserves of the Health Insurance Fund are dwindling before our eyes.
[00:00:57] The Estonian healthcare system
[00:01:01] spends almost 100 million euros more annually than
[00:01:04] it receives.
[00:01:06] The path to the sea is open again, after the reconstruction of Myza Saak, the famous
[00:01:10] staircase
[00:01:11] has reopened.
[00:01:14] Live on Current Camera with the main news of the day. Good
[00:01:17] evening. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has completed a large-scale audit
[00:01:20] of the use of people's medical data by police officers
[00:01:23] and the police force. The check was appointed after the publication of possible
[00:01:27] abuses by law enforcement officers. As a result, most
[00:01:30] of the requests were deemed legitimate, but the audit revealed violations of internal
[00:01:33] rules, where employees sometimes accessed
[00:01:37] people's health data, based solely on personal
[00:01:39] interest. The purpose of the audit was to
[00:01:43] thoroughly examine all data, assess each request from the point of view of
[00:01:46] proportionality, check for legal grounds
[00:01:49] of justification, and also make sure that everything can be traced. For
[00:01:53] this, specific case materials were opened and the documents contained in them
[00:01:57] were checked. We received quite
[00:02:00] detailed information on the months that were checked, and I
[00:02:04] think that the results are also not bad, we do not see any
[00:02:07] systematic massive violations,
[00:02:10] or or, say, such a
[00:02:14] malicious approach. The security police claim that the agency has almost no violations, in
[00:02:17] 13 months only
[00:02:21] one case was identified. An employee viewed the medical data of his
[00:02:24] close relatives, although he had no right to do so, we immediately
[00:02:28] reacted, currently...
[00:03:30] why did this happen if he is not a criminal?
[00:03:34] Representatives of law enforcement agencies, for their part, noted that in the future, to
[00:03:37] correct errors in the system, a more detailed justification
[00:03:41] for each request will be introduced. In addition, they will undergo additional
[00:03:44] approvals with the prosecutor for criminal cases with the head
[00:03:47] or authorized officer for misconduct cases.
[00:03:51] The possible presidential candidate, Chancellor of Justice July Madise, has not yet gathered
[00:03:55] the necessary number of votes in Riigikogu. According to the leader of the party
[00:03:58] Estonia 200, Kristina Kallas. Now Madise can count on the support
[00:04:02] of 67 deputies, 68 are needed
[00:04:04] for election. These votes, according to Kallas, are ready to be given by
[00:04:08] the Reform Party, Estonia 200, Social Democrats, non-fractional
[00:04:11] deputies, while the Centre Party itself has not yet announced its
[00:04:15] positions.
[00:04:17] The reserves of the Health Insurance Fund in recent years helped cover the shortage of funds in
[00:04:21] the healthcare system, however, in a few years they may
[00:04:24] run out, despite previous promises, the Minister of Social
[00:04:27] Affairs asks for additional funding. To
[00:04:38] cover expenses, accumulated reserves already have to be used, in the coming
[00:04:39] years
[00:04:42] dependence on these funds will remain.
[00:04:45] The approved budget of the Health Insurance Fund for 2026
[00:04:49] provides for a deficit of slightly more than 100 million euros. The main
[00:04:53] goal is its reduction. In spring
[00:04:55] the Ministry of Social Affairs warned that due to worsening economic
[00:04:59] forecasts.
[00:05:24] Sooner or later, a decision on allocating additional funding
[00:05:27] will need to be made, but it is not necessary to do so right now, it
[00:05:31] can be made in 2029. However, according to the Health Insurance Fund, the decision on financing reform
[00:05:35] must be made as
[00:05:38] soon as possible. Irina Sikutt agrees with this, who 3 years ago
[00:05:42] proposed that the state should start paying for children's treatment,
[00:05:45] thus expanding the sources of the system's financing.
[00:05:49] Any changes actually take time to implement,
[00:05:52] now it would be possible to direct additional funding
[00:05:55] gradually, as was done in the case of non-working
[00:05:58] pensioners, but in a broader sense, it seems that
[00:06:02] this government has simply gotten used to postponing decision-making.
[00:06:05] We must reconsider the tax model
[00:06:09] entirely, we will simply increase tax revenue.
[00:06:12] thanks to this, we will be able to spend an addition to social tax on
[00:06:16] medicine and, for example, income from income
[00:06:19] tax. Currently, the Minister of Social Affairs Karmen Juhkam plans to annually
[00:06:23] allocate 20 million euros to digital innovations in
[00:06:27] healthcare from 2028.
[00:06:29] Airbaltic airline adjusted its winter schedule, cancelling flights from Tallinn
[00:06:33] to London, and also changing its flight program from Riga and
[00:06:37] Vilnius. Airbaltic announced that passengers on cancelled flights will be offered
[00:06:40] alternative flight options. The airline emphasized that this is a
[00:06:44] standard practice in this industry. The Latvian airline, whose net
[00:06:48] loss at the end of last year was approximately 44 million
[00:06:51] euros, continues to seek ways to stabilize its financial
[00:06:54] situation.
[00:06:57] After the new language requirements came into force, about
[00:07:00] 300 teacher assistants were left jobless. These data are provided by the Tallinn City Government. At
[00:07:04] the same time, about 100 vacancies have already been filled. The Ministry of Education, in
[00:07:08] turn, believes that there is no basis to speak of a large-scale
[00:07:11] personnel crisis. In the Tallinn kindergarten Pallasti
[00:07:15] they continue to look for new teacher assistants, after the requirement of Estonian language
[00:07:18] knowledge at B-2 level came into force, five
[00:07:22] employees were forced to leave the kindergarten. To find
[00:07:25] an ideal assistant teacher for a salary of 1,240 euros
[00:07:28] is very difficult, it must be a person who knows the language, can
[00:07:32] work with children, including those with special needs, support
[00:07:35] the teacher, help him in various situations, when one
[00:07:39] teacher with 20 children becomes difficult.
[00:07:47] 300 people do not meet these
[00:07:50] qualification requirements for the language as of
[00:07:53] August 1st, and that's how it turned out, 300 people
[00:07:57] for this reason are forced to leave their
[00:08:01] workplaces. As of today, 90
[00:08:04] people are employed, this is an ongoing
[00:08:07] process. The Ministry of Education claims that there is no
[00:08:11] basis to speak of a large-scale personnel crisis, because in some
[00:08:14] kindergartens they are indeed looking for new employees, however, in others
[00:08:18] groups are closing down due to a decrease in the number of children, while
[00:08:22] kindergartens admit that new assistants often have to
[00:08:25] learn the profession already at the workplace, their
[00:08:28] practical training is forced to be handled by more experienced colleagues, the
[00:08:32] ministry calls not to exaggerate the situation. The work that these
[00:08:36] people do requires fundamental knowledge and
[00:08:39] support of children and support. teachers who
[00:08:43] work in kindergartens, these are not very high qualifications
[00:08:47] that are needed in this job, a person who has a secondary education comes
[00:08:50] to kindergarten and works, he can also acquire these
[00:08:54] qualifications through this work, so you absolutely need to check the background of this
[00:08:58] person. Here I will disagree with the opinion
[00:09:01] of the minister for the reason that a teacher's assistant
[00:09:05] is an active participant in the educational process, it was by
[00:09:08] this logic that the requirements
[00:09:11] for the language were set, in this case
[00:09:14] B-2, and naturally, this work is quite
[00:09:17] difficult, both emotionally and physically.
[00:09:21] Ukrainian drones last night attacked
[00:09:23] two large oil refineries in Russia. This
[00:09:26] was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Drones hit
[00:09:30] refineries in Yaroslavl Oblast and Ufa. This city is located approximately
[00:09:34] 1,300 km from the Ukrainian
[00:09:37] border. In addition, according to the AFU, drones hit one ship.
[00:09:40] Sweden will transfer to Kyiv a cargo ship
[00:10:12] of the Russian shadow fleet, seized in March. Ukraine suspects it of
[00:10:16] transporting grain stolen from occupied territories.
[00:10:19] The Supreme Court of Sweden earlier rejected the appeal to the company owner of the dry cargo ship.
[00:10:23] The vessel heading to St. Petersburg
[00:10:26] sailed under the flag of Guinea, but according to the
[00:10:30] Swedish coast guard, it was actually a vessel without
[00:10:33] state
[00:10:34] affiliation.
[00:10:37] And back to Estonia. Several bars operating in the old town of Tartu
[00:10:41] are concerned about the appearance of a new residential building nearby. They
[00:10:44] fear that in the near future they may have conflicts with local
[00:10:47] residents. Rütli Street is the main center
[00:10:51] of Tartu's nightlife. If before there were relatively few
[00:10:55] residential apartments in this area, then by 2028, over
[00:10:58] 50 new apartments will appear in the building at Guildi
[00:11:02] 8. The closest to it is a bar with concerts
[00:11:06] and an evening program. Why are apartments
[00:11:08] allowed to be built here, if it is initially clear that there will be
[00:11:12] problems. My experience shows that then I have to solve
[00:11:16] all these problems myself, with my own money,
[00:11:19] with my own efforts and at the cost of my own nerves.
[00:11:23] The scenario is already familiar to the owners of the old town, for more than
[00:11:26] a year and a half the genealogist's club has been fighting the consequences of noise
[00:11:29] complaints. Similar disputes periodically arise
[00:11:33] on Rütli Street. Old town resident
[00:11:36] Triin Var tells that for 10 years she has repeatedly had to
[00:11:40] contact various authorities due to noise, however, some
[00:11:43] issues remain unresolved to this day. I understood
[00:11:47] that it would be noisy here, but I didn't expect such strong
[00:11:50] vibrations to be felt through the wall. It comes from
[00:11:53] the neighboring building. I couldn't even imagine that it would be
[00:11:57] so noticeable. According to Jaan Tover, the owner of several Tartu
[00:12:01] bars, entrepreneurs have to
[00:12:04] independently resolve the consequences of conflicts related to nightlife.
[00:12:07] The city hall, in turn, claims that possible
[00:12:10] problems will be resolved as they arise.
[00:12:14] It is important that future residents understand in which area they are purchasing
[00:12:18] housing. This also applies to hotels operating in the city
[00:12:21] center. At the same time, developers must take into account the specifics.
[00:12:33] sound insulation, special windows and additional
[00:12:36] protection of the common wall with the neighboring bar. In the
[00:12:40] coming years, Narva will undergo large-scale changes. Currently, in the city,
[00:12:43] about thirty municipal projects are simultaneously being implemented or are just
[00:12:47] being prepared for launch, with a total cost of almost 70 million
[00:12:50] euros. More than 40 million of this amount are European
[00:12:54] funds. On July 30, it became known about
[00:12:57] the support of the second stage of the improvement of Stockholm
[00:13:01] Square by Eurofunds, work will begin in 2027. The planned
[00:13:04] budget of the project is more than 5 million,
[00:13:08] of which 70% will be supported by European
[00:13:12] Union funds. The square will continue up to
[00:13:15] Viru Street, and from the Viru side, the facade
[00:13:19] of a one-story building will be visible, where, we hope, a cafe or perhaps
[00:13:23] some other commercial
[00:13:55] buildings, and of course, improved indoor
[00:13:58] climate. Currently, 20 municipal
[00:14:02] projects are under implementation, and another 10 are being prepared
[00:14:06] for launch. We implemented urban municipal
[00:14:09] investment projects worth about 70 million
[00:14:13] as well and attracted external
[00:14:16] financing of 47 million. And we also have
[00:14:20] at least
[00:14:22] a project
[00:14:24] for another 33 million, so I think that in
[00:14:28] this period we will reach the mark of 100
[00:14:31] million, the budget of projects, and I
[00:14:34] think that somewhere around 60-65% at
[00:14:37] least will be attracted funds from European
[00:14:40] Union funds. One of the priority projects of the city is
[00:14:44] a municipal rental house for specialists at Westerval
[00:14:47] 17. Narva hopes that it will help attract doctors,
[00:14:51] teachers and other in-demand specialists.
[00:14:55] In Votaviru, the Myzasaak staircase, which leads from the high
[00:14:58] cliff to the seashore, was reopened after reconstruction.
[00:15:02] The descent was restored according to the original project, preserving its former
[00:15:06] design.
[00:15:08] The staircase leading to the sea was built in 2005 at the initiative of
[00:15:12] the owner of Myza Tõnis Kazik. 2 years ago
[00:15:15] the descent was closed due to its dangerous condition. Now, after
[00:15:19] reconstruction at the expense of the owner of Myza, the staircase is again open to
[00:15:23] visitors.
[00:15:25] I bought the ruins of the manor from the state at a public auction in 2004.
[00:15:29] From the very beginning it was clear that the value of this place
[00:15:33] depended on the possibility of descending to the sea, so the staircase was built
[00:15:37] one of the first. During the current reconstruction, we simply restored
[00:15:40] it to its original form, the descent is about 50 meters long,
[00:15:44] made in zigzags for safety.
[00:15:48] Alexander loves to walk along the trail from Isaac, he is interested in
[00:15:51] geology and collects stones on the coast, so the opening
[00:15:54] of the restored staircase was an important event for him. According to him,
[00:15:58] the descent is well-designed and convenient for visitors of different
[00:16:01] ages. I myself, I am 70 years old, I had a bypass
[00:16:05] operation, it's quite a complex heart operation, but
[00:16:08] I climbed up completely calmly, it seemed like I should have
[00:16:12] died somewhere, no, with small stops, without
[00:16:15] rushing, whoever built it, felt
[00:16:18] all the pedestrian aspect, that it's very comfortable
[00:16:22] to walk, these benches that are there, you can sit peacefully,
[00:16:26] catch your breath, even eat a sandwich, the owner of the manor could
[00:16:29] not name the exact length of the stairs, to descend from the cliff to the sea,
[00:16:33] the Current Camera correspondent took 356
[00:16:35] steps. and let's move on to the weather for
[00:16:39] the coming day: at night partly cloudy, short rains possible in places,
[00:16:43] wind southwest from 3 to 9
[00:16:46] m/s, gusting up to 15 on the coast, air temperature from
[00:16:50] 14 to 19°. During the day
[00:16:52] it will be cloudy with clearings, short rains in many areas,
[00:16:56] with thunderstorms in some places. Towards evening the probability of precipitation will decrease,
[00:16:59] southwest, west wind will intensify to 5 and 12, gusting up to 17
[00:17:03] m/s. Towards evening it will weaken, the air will warm up to
[00:17:06] 18 and up to
[00:17:09] That's the news for today, have a good evening and see you soon.
[00:17:25] Eyewitness, the most interesting. A popular
[00:17:28] dentist took an advance payment from dozens of patients and disappeared,
[00:17:32] leaving them without money and without treatment. Where does the Prime Minister
[00:17:35] refuel his car?
[00:18:15] after which he will receive permission for night crayfish
[00:18:18] fishing.
[00:18:21] one gastro-travel in Estonia on Friday at
[00:18:24] 9:00 PM on ETV
[00:18:26] Plus.
[00:18:32] We were a little ahead of our neighbors. A visa has never
[00:18:35] detained a bandit.
[00:18:43] but most often they tried to attract the public, of course,
[00:18:47] with erotica, I even saw it in my sleep several times afterwards,
[00:18:51] documentary-nostalgic project
[00:18:53] The Nineties, on Saturday at 8:15 PM on ETV
[00:18:57] Plus.
[00:25:20] I'm actually from a wild country
[00:30:50] Airshow in 2026, an unusual aircraft with
[00:30:54] upward-facing propellers took off from the main
[00:30:57] runway. Walla is a light electric
[00:31:00] vertical take-off and landing
[00:31:03] aircraft from Vertical
[00:31:07] Aerospace. Everything here is fundamentally new: electric
[00:31:10] motors and batteries.
