[00:00:03] Potential presidential candidate, Chancellor of Justice Julia Maze, is not yet gaining
[00:00:07] the required number of votes in the Riga Kogu. According to the leader of the 10200 party,
[00:00:10] Kristina Kallas, Madesa can currently count on the support of
[00:00:14] 67 deputies. 68 are needed
[00:00:17] for election. These votes, according to Kallas, are ready to be given by the
[00:00:20] Reform Party, 1200 Social Democrats, and independent
[00:00:23] deputies. However, the Center Party itself has not yet announced its
[00:00:27] positions.
[00:00:30] The first health insurance funds in recent years have helped cover the shortage of funds in the healthcare
[00:00:34] system, but in a few years they may run out,
[00:00:37] despite a previous promise, the Minister of Social Affairs does not
[00:00:40] plan to ask for additional funding, the issue will probably
[00:00:44] have to be resolved by the next government. The Health
[00:00:47] Insurance Fund is facing a growing budget deficit, and accumulated
[00:00:51] reserves already have to be used to cover expenses. In the coming years,
[00:00:55] dependence on these funds will continue.
[00:00:58] The approved budget of the Health Insurance Fund for...
[00:01:00] 2026 provides for a deficit of just over 100
[00:01:03] million euros. The main goal is its reduction.
[00:01:07] In the spring, the Ministry of Social Affairs warned that due to worsening
[00:01:10] economic forecasts, the reserves of the Health Insurance Fund might not be enough until 2029.
[00:01:14] As one of the solutions, Minister of Social Affairs Carmen
[00:01:18] Yuller proposed transferring the payment for children's treatment to the state,
[00:01:21] since almost the entire healthcare system is currently financed by
[00:01:25] the social tax of working people, which is becoming
[00:01:28] insufficient to cover.
[00:02:30] income tax. Currently, the Minister
[00:02:33] of Social Affairs, Carmen Nyuller, plans to allocate 20 million euros annually from 2028
[00:02:37] for digital innovations in
[00:02:39] healthcare.
[00:02:41] Airbaltic has adjusted its winter schedule, canceling flights from Tallinn
[00:02:45] to London, and also changing its flight program from Riga and
[00:02:49] Vilnius. Airbaltic announced that passengers on canceled flights will be offered
[00:02:52] alternative travel options. The airline emphasized that this is
[00:02:56] standard practice in the industry. The Latvian airline, with a net
[00:03:00] loss of approximately 44 million euros at the end of last year,
[00:03:03] continues to look for ways to stabilize its financial
[00:03:06] situation.
[00:03:09] After the new language requirements came into force, about
[00:03:12] 300 teacher assistants were left without jobs. These data are provided by Tallinn City Hall. However,
[00:03:16] about 100 vacancies have already been filled. The Ministry of Education, in
[00:03:20] turn, believes that there is no reason to talk about a large-scale
[00:03:23] staffing crisis. In the Tallinn kindergarten Pallosti,
[00:03:27] they continue to look for new teacher assistants.
[00:03:43] This should be a person who knows the language, knows how to work with children, including those with special
[00:03:46] needs, supports the teacher and helps them in a variety of
[00:03:49] situations, when one educator with twenty children gets
[00:03:53] tired. According to the city hall, in 3 weeks
[00:03:56] about 100 teacher assistants need to be found.
[00:04:00] a person does not meet these language qualification requirements as of
[00:04:03] August 1st, and so
[00:04:07] it happened, 300 people for this reason
[00:04:10] are forced to leave their
[00:04:13] workplaces. As of today, 90
[00:04:16] people have been hired, this is an ongoing
[00:04:19] process. The Ministry of Education claims that there is
[00:04:23] no reason to talk about a large-scale staffing crisis, since some
[00:04:26] kindergartens are indeed looking for new employees, however, other
[00:04:30] groups, on the contrary, are closing due to a reduction in the number of children. At the same time,
[00:04:34] kindergartens admit that new assistants often have to
[00:04:37] master the profession already at the workplace, and more experienced
[00:04:40] colleagues are forced to engage in their practical
[00:04:44] training. The Ministry urges not to exaggerate. The work that these
[00:04:48] people do requires fundamental
[00:04:51] knowledge of child support and support for teachers who
[00:04:55] work in kindergartens. These are not very high qualifications
[00:04:59] that are needed in this.
[00:05:12] with the Minister's opinion for the reason that a teacher's assistant
[00:05:15] is an active participant in the educational
[00:05:19] process, and it was based on this logic that
[00:05:22] the language requirements, in this
[00:05:25] case B-2, were established, and naturally, this
[00:05:28] work is quite difficult, both emotionally and
[00:05:32] physically. physically.
[00:05:35] Ukrainian drones attacked two large oil refineries in Russia last night.
[00:05:38] This was stated by the President of Ukraine, Zelensky. Drones hit an oil refinery
[00:05:42] in the Yaroslavl region and Ufa. This city is located approximately
[00:05:46] 1,300 km from the Ukrainian border. In addition,
[00:05:50] according to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, drones hit one vessel of the Russian shadow fleet
[00:05:53] and two military patrol boats in the Black
[00:05:57] Sea. The German Interior Ministry called
[00:06:00] yesterday's drone incident at Leipzig Airport a hybrid attack. According to German
[00:06:04] media, the drone, equipped with explosives, was located near
[00:06:08] a Ukrainian cargo plane that was transporting.
[00:06:10] The cargo was awaiting shipment to Ukraine. The head of the German Interior
[00:06:14] Ministry stated that this is a new level of threat to the country. The Bundestag
[00:06:18] did not rule out the involvement of Russian special services.
[00:06:21] Sweden will hand over to Kyiv a cargo ship
[00:06:24] of the Russian shadow fleet, seized in March. Ukraine suspects it of
[00:06:28] transporting grain stolen from occupied territories.
[00:06:31] The Supreme Court of Sweden previously rejected the appeal of the company that owned
[00:06:35] the dry cargo ship. The ship, which was heading to St. Petersburg, sailed under
[00:06:38] the flag of Guinea. However, according to the assessment of the Swedish
[00:06:42] Coast Guard, it was actually
[00:06:45] a stateless vessel.
[00:06:49] And back to Estonia. Several bars operating in Tartu's Old Town
[00:06:53] are concerned about the appearance of a new residential building nearby. They
[00:06:56] fear that in the near future they may have conflicts with local
[00:06:59] residents. Rütli Street is the main center
[00:07:03] of Tartu's nightlife. If before there were relatively
[00:07:06] few residential apartments in this area, by 2028
[00:07:09] more than 50 new ones will appear here.
[00:07:20] Why are they allowed to build apartments here if it is initially
[00:07:23] clear that there will be problems? My experience
[00:07:26] shows that then I have to solve all these problems myself,
[00:07:29] at my own expense, by my own efforts and at the cost of my own
[00:07:33] nerves. The scenario is already familiar to the owners
[00:07:36] of establishments in the Old Town; for more than a year and a half, the Genealogist
[00:07:40] club has been dealing with the consequences
[00:07:43] of noise complaints. Such disputes periodically
[00:07:46] arise on Rütli Street. Old Town resident Triin Var
[00:07:49] says that for 10 years she has repeatedly had to contact various
[00:07:53] authorities due to noise, but some issues
[00:07:56] remain unresolved to this day. I understood that it
[00:08:00] would be noisy here, but I did not expect such strong vibration to be felt
[00:08:03] through the wall. It comes from the neighboring building. I could not
[00:08:07] even imagine that it would be so noticeable. According to
[00:08:11] Jaan Tover, the owner of several Tartu bars,
[00:08:14] entrepreneurs have to independently eliminate the consequences
[00:08:17] of conflicts related to nightlife. The city hall, in turn,
[00:08:21] claims that possible problems will be resolved as they
[00:08:24] arise. It is important that future residents
[00:08:28] understand in which area they are acquiring housing. This
[00:08:31] also applies to hotels operating in the city center. At the same time,
[00:08:34] developers must take into account the specifics of the center. The
[00:08:38] developer company Elivada Group assures that it has taken into
[00:08:41] account the peculiarities of neighboring bars. The project provided for enhanced
[00:08:45] sound insulation, special windows and additional
[00:08:48] protection of the common wall with the neighboring bar. In the
[00:08:52] coming years, Narva will undergo large-scale changes. Currently, in the city,
[00:08:55] about 30 municipal projects with a total
[00:08:59] cost of almost 70 million euros are simultaneously being implemented or are only
[00:09:02] preparing for launch. More than 40 million of this amount are funds from European
[00:09:06] funds. On July 30, it became known about the support
[00:09:10] of European funds for the second stage of landscaping.
[00:09:42] proceeded to design the renovation of the historic building in
[00:09:45] the port, now it houses the rowing base of the Energy
[00:09:49] Sports School, the task of the project is to preserve the architectural
[00:09:52] integrity of the building and adapt it to modern needs, the city received
[00:09:56] half a million euros in state
[00:09:59] funding for the work, and these funds are planned to be directed
[00:10:03] primarily to improving
[00:10:06] the energy efficiency of the building, and of course
[00:10:09] to improving the indoor climate of the premises. Currently,
[00:10:12] 20 municipal projects are in the implementation
[00:10:16] stage, and another 10 are being prepared for launch, we
[00:10:20] have implemented urban municipal investment projects
[00:10:23] worth about 70 million also
[00:10:27] and attracted external financing of 47
[00:10:30] million. And we still have plans for
[00:10:34] at least projects worth 33
[00:10:37] million more, so I think that in this period
[00:10:41] we will reach the 100 million mark. The
[00:10:44] budget of the projects, and I think that about
[00:10:48] 60-65 percent, at least, will be attracted
[00:10:51] funds from European Union funds.
[00:11:38] Two years ago, the descent was closed due to its emergency state. Now, after reconstruction at the expense of the manor owner, the staircase is open to visitors again. I bought the ruins of the manor from the state at public auctions in 2004. From
[00:11:42] the very beginning, it was clear that the value of this place depended on
[00:11:45] the possibility of descending to the sea, so the staircase was built one of
[00:11:49] the first. During the current reconstruction, we simply
[00:11:52] restored it to its original form, the descent.
[00:12:03] He is interested in geology, collects stones on the coast, so the opening
[00:12:06] of the restored staircase was an important event for him. According to him,
[00:12:10] the descent is well-thought-out and convenient for visitors of different
[00:12:13] ages. I myself, I am 70 years old, I had bypass
[00:12:17] surgery, it is quite a complex heart
[00:12:20] operation, but I climbed up quite calmly, it seemed like I should
[00:12:24] have died there. No, with small stops, without
[00:12:27] rushing, whoever did this, felt
[00:12:30] this whole pedestrian moment, that it is very convenient
[00:12:34] to walk, these benches that are there, you can sit calmly,
[00:12:38] catch your breath, even have a sandwich. The owner of the manor could not
[00:12:41] name the exact length of the staircase. To go down the cliff to the sea,
[00:12:45] the correspondent of the actual camera took 356
[00:12:48] steps, and we will move on to the weather for
[00:12:51] the upcoming day. At night, partly cloudy... with possible
[00:12:55] short-term rains, wind south-westerly from 3 to 9
[00:12:58] m/s, on the coast with gusts up to 15, air temperature from
[00:13:02] 14 to 19°. During the day it will be
[00:13:05] cloudy with clearings, in many areas short-term rains,
[00:13:08] in some places with thunderstorms, by evening the probability of precipitation will decrease,
[00:13:11] south-westerly westerly wind will intensify to 5 and 12 with gusts up to
[00:13:15] 17 m/s, by evening it will weaken, the air will warm up to
[00:13:18] 18 and 23°.
[00:13:21] That's all for the news today, have a good evening and see you soon.

[00:15:28] Pay
[00:15:29] attention
[00:15:33] to this
[00:15:35] ingenious electrical network. People
[00:15:38] say that all this hangs by a thread,
[00:15:42] but the Mirror program is cast
[00:15:46] iron, that's what people say,
[00:15:50] enjoy your viewing,
[00:16:00] today in the program,
[00:16:04] a brand new apartment, but the problems are old, as if the wires
[00:16:08] were in water, street art or
[00:16:10] vandalism? I come the next morning and see it again, I
[00:16:14] think, is my work in vain?
[00:16:15] we are located near
[00:16:20] a relatively new house in a new area
[00:16:24] in Haberste, moreover, some houses are not even
[00:16:27] finished yet, they will be delivered in just a few
[00:16:31] months. No, no, the Mirror did not
[00:16:34] suddenly start dealing with it. Well, what could be wrong with
[00:16:47] houses built with the latest construction
[00:16:50] technology? Well, these houses are
[00:16:53] new, but the problems are old. Why does it look
[00:16:57] like you're renovating, the house is new? Hello,
[00:17:00] the house is new, it's been 2 years since we moved in, and
[00:17:04] problems started. Some problems were there. There was broken
[00:17:08] tile, they replaced these doors for us, because
[00:17:12] you see, I'll even show you that the door
[00:17:15] is one color, this one is another
[00:17:18] jamb, because it's the trim, the trim, and I
[00:17:22] see that the frame is also a little different, yes, yes,
[00:17:25] yes, yes, yes, that's all, they replaced
[00:17:28] it. But in general,
[00:17:32] when we got the keys on May 3rd, and not
[00:17:36] the 24th, it happened, how to
[00:17:39] say, since they didn't close something upstairs,
[00:17:43] the small room was completely flooded. Let's start with
[00:17:46] the small room. Sounds
[00:17:48] alarming, if we only start with
[00:17:52] the small room, it means it's not the only problem,
[00:17:56] but let's go in order. From
[00:17:59] here down to this outlet, you see, it
[00:18:03] has no silicone, nothing,
[00:18:06] water leaked. Water directly
[00:18:09] from above, I can show you, all this was sent to
[00:18:13] the construction company Aslanda, that everything flowed down
[00:18:16] the wall, here it was so
[00:18:20] last month I arrived, that from this, how to
[00:18:23] say, from the top it flowed onto the table, here the table
[00:18:26] was ruined, a new table, yes, as if
[00:18:29] a tap was opened, all this water, so to speak, flows from
[00:18:33] the tap down the entire wall and at the same time leaks.
[00:18:40] into the outlet installed on the same wall, and not only is the outlet itself inside already rusty and
[00:18:44] oxidized, but through that very outlet,
[00:18:48] water reached the wiring in the wall, as if the wires were in
[00:18:52] water, were completely in water, and
[00:18:55] yes, yes, yes, this paint held, here
[00:18:59] it just bubbled a bit, when they removed it, when
[00:19:03] they removed it, yes, you wouldn't believe it, all the
[00:19:06] wires... were in water, inside
[00:19:09] the wall, inside the wall, inside the wall, what am I
[00:19:12] talking about? But any schoolchild knows that
[00:19:16] water and wires are incompatible,
[00:19:20] and such proximity is fraught with consequences, which
[00:19:24] however, did not take long to
[00:19:27] arrive.
[00:19:33] This lamp was located above the bed, my grandson
[00:19:37] was lying there. We never paid attention to it, my
[00:19:40] daughter went up, pressed the switch, all these
[00:19:43] crystal pendants broke, there was
[00:19:47] such an explosion, glass just
[00:19:49] fell on my grandson, he was just lying in glass,
[00:19:53] good thing he was lying face down like this, if he had been lying with his eyes
[00:19:57] facing the glass, naturally splinters would have gotten into them,
[00:20:01] yes, the child would have been disabled
[00:20:03] for life. Of course, in fact, nobody...
[00:20:07] knows the exact cause for sure, maybe
[00:20:11] the lamp was simply defective,
[00:20:15] but it is obvious that water inside the wall
[00:20:18] causes significant damage. This part, this part,
[00:20:22] it was soft, so this drywall was
[00:20:26] in water, when you pressed it, it was like
[00:20:29] plasticine.
[00:20:34] So much for "my home, my fortress." It's scary
[00:20:38] to even live in such a fortress. We
[00:20:41] constantly had a draft, when we turned on the hood,
[00:20:44] when we cooked, cold air just came from the floor, just
[00:20:48] cold, and we couldn't for a long time.
[00:21:14] But folk wisdom tells us that what is done badly
[00:21:18] must be redone. Especially since most
[00:21:22] of the problems mentioned seem easily fixable, you
[00:21:26] wouldn't believe it, the builder Aslanda
[00:21:28] completely ignored us,
[00:21:32] there was complete ignorance, they didn't want to do anything at all,
[00:21:36] then in December I
[00:21:40] went to the company located in Mustamäe, the main
[00:21:43] enterprise, a woman came out, and I
[00:21:46] said that there was no warranty repair, the warranty is for...
[00:22:50] water collects there, this
[00:22:52] water, when it rains, it goes
[00:22:56] down our wall into the room,
[00:23:00] yes, all this for her own money,
[00:23:03] an apartment these days is not a cheap
[00:23:06] pleasure, as a result, Galina has had to
[00:23:09] live in another place for almost a
[00:23:12] month, while her own brand new
[00:23:15] apartment is covered in plastic. Fortunately, in
[00:23:18] this house there is an active partnership, which on its
[00:23:21] part is also making every effort to ensure
[00:23:25] that the residents of the house still achieve their
[00:23:29] warranty repair. The company, whose name
[00:23:32] has been mentioned several times, Aslanda, they built the house, right? Yes, that's
[00:23:35] right, uh-huh, well, do they react to this? Well, that is,
[00:23:39] you, well, you're the chairman, you're a resident of the house, to appeal,
[00:23:42] to say, listen, it's not very well built, to put it mildly, what about that,
[00:23:46] what are the answers, and the answers are quite... simple
[00:23:50] and boilerplate, that is, first of all, there is a company that
[00:23:53] sold apartments, a so-called layer between
[00:23:56] Astlanda and private individuals, to whom
[00:23:59] Arendus. Very often, the answers are of such a nature
[00:24:03] that we ask you not to falsely accuse us
[00:24:07] of supposedly poor construction quality. Very
[00:24:10] often, they only start doing something after you start sending
[00:24:14] links to laws, to some legislative
[00:24:17] acts, to directives or... construction
[00:24:20] norms, then it starts to move from
[00:24:23] a dead stop, but the problems are not only inside the house,
[00:24:27] but outside, the concrete is cracked,
[00:24:31] the exterior doors are already covered with rust,
[00:24:34] the mounting foam and foam plastic stick out into
[00:24:37] the street. In general, there are many
[00:24:40] interesting and even amazing solutions, let's call
[00:24:43] them that. The company Aslandda Ehitus
[00:24:47] did not want to meet with us, but
[00:24:50] in their written reply, they assured us that no one is refusing
[00:24:54] warranty repairs, very soon everything will be
[00:24:57] tip-top. So, in response to your questions,
[00:25:01] we inform you that Oü Astlanda Ehitus does not
[00:25:05] evade its warranty obligations and does not
[00:25:08] delay their execution without
[00:25:11] necessity. Immediately after the end of the warranty period and
[00:25:14] receipt of lists of claims for apartments, we
[00:25:18] will draw up an action plan.
[00:25:28] That's what the warranty period is for, to identify possible
[00:25:32] defects and eliminate them without additional
[00:25:35] costs for buyers.
[00:25:39] The defects you mentioned are isolated cases
[00:25:42] that have been checked and deemed not
[00:25:46] to pose a threat to human life and health, and also not
[00:25:50] to impede the use of the living space.
[00:25:53] stomping our feet,
[00:25:57] the selling company
[00:26:00] confirmed to us that according to which warranty
[00:26:04] work will be carried out after the expiration of the warranty
[00:26:07] period, was stipulated in the notarized
[00:26:10] agreement, and generally this is a normal
[00:26:13] practice, so to speak, to collect all
[00:26:17] minor defects into one pile and eliminate
[00:26:20] them in one fell swoop. Well, if something serious happened,
[00:26:24] then everyone is ready to
[00:26:27] react immediately. Aslanda reacted, if, as you
[00:26:30] say, you have already seen? that there
[00:26:34] is no, well, you didn't see all these problems, because
[00:26:38] the work was done, but
[00:26:40] the warranty period in the eleventh
[00:26:43] house has not actually ended yet, it's like
[00:26:46] they reacted as they should have,
[00:26:49] that it
[00:26:52] is, well, what do you mean, you can't use
[00:26:55] the apartment as intended, and
[00:26:59] they came to fix it even before
[00:27:02] the warranty work began.
[00:27:06] As always in this situation, details play a key
[00:27:09] role. The reason why water ended up between
[00:27:13] the walls has not been fully clarified: if
[00:27:16] water, for example, got into the cavities of the panels during
[00:27:19] construction, and no more water is accumulating inside,
[00:27:22] then this is indeed a relatively
[00:27:25] common situation, but
[00:27:28] if new water is constantly penetrating
[00:27:31] the structures, then it is necessary
[00:27:34] to react immediately. There should be no
[00:27:37] water in the structure, so accordingly, this is a problem
[00:27:40] that, let's say, is very serious, which, in my opinion, cannot
[00:27:44] wait for the end
[00:27:46] of the 2-year warranty period, uh-huh, that is,
[00:27:50] let's say, there are problems that you can live with, these may be some
[00:27:54] minor cracks, building settlement, which within
[00:27:57] 2 years, let's say, the building is still settling, they
[00:28:01] appear -
[00:28:22] to do them all at once, but there are things that affect operation, and for example, if a faucet or sewage pipe leaked in the apartment, they wouldn't wait 2 years, well, yes, if they did it right away, because
[00:28:25] it needs to be used, it's the same here, as I say, there shouldn't
[00:28:29] be water in the structure, if it appeared there,
[00:28:32] then, in my opinion, this problem needs to be solved
[00:28:36] immediately. It's important to remember one thing, that
[00:28:39] according to Estonian legislation, warranty
[00:28:42] repairs also have their own
[00:28:45] warranty, that is, if during the warranty period
[00:28:49] you...
