[00:02:35] 7:02, good morning, on the air of Radio 4,
[00:02:38] the morning program begins, which today, Sunday,
[00:02:41] September 20, will be hosted by Natalia

[00:03:24] for you, and I also remind you that you will hear the first news
[00:03:28] bulletin today:
[00:03:30] 7:10,
[00:03:33] that's how it always happens on
[00:03:35] weekends, well, right after the news bulletin, we'll tell
[00:03:39] you about the weather.
[00:10:26] In Estonia, 7:10 on air, ERR News, Ilya Dachar
[00:10:30] at the microphone. Hello.
[00:10:33] Airbaltic, a company facing financial difficulties,
[00:10:37] expects to continue operating as usual, selling
[00:10:40] tickets, serving passengers, and performing all scheduled
[00:10:43] flights, despite the ongoing financial
[00:10:46] restructuring. This process will be carried out under
[00:10:50] Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code, which will allow the company,
[00:10:53] which is in a difficult financial
[00:10:57] situation, to continue operations and at the same time restructure its
[00:11:00] work and repay debts. Among Airbaltic's
[00:11:03] creditors is Tallinn Airport, to which the airline
[00:11:07] owes almost one and a half million dollars for services rendered.
[00:11:11] However, Eeroparme, a member of the airport's board, said that there was nothing
[00:11:14] extraordinary about this. Despite the problems, Airbaltic
[00:11:18] will be able to repay this debt and continue to pay for
[00:11:21] services. The company will be able to pay so-called.
[00:11:34] will be able to pay in the future.
[00:11:37] To news from abroad: the leaders of the French far-right
[00:11:41] party National Rally, Marine Le Pen and Jordan
[00:11:44] Bardella, published a joint statement on the party's
[00:11:47] website, in which they criticized Russia for attempts
[00:11:51] to influence France's foreign policy through intimidation and threats,
[00:11:55] including with regard to support for Ukraine, reports
[00:11:58] Deutsche Welle. The statement says that the party will not
[00:12:01] tolerate - quote - "a foreign power, in this
[00:12:04] case Russia, seeking directly or indirectly to dictate the policy
[00:12:08] of a country through intimidation, threats, destabilization or
[00:12:12] psychological pressure. No provocations, no
[00:12:15] covert operations and no destabilizing actions
[00:12:19] can induce France to facilitate Russia's
[00:12:22] achievement of its military goals in Ukraine, end of quote." The leaders
[00:12:26] of the National Rally called for democratic debates on issues
[00:12:30] such as the level and conditions of financial support
[00:12:33] provided to Ukraine, as well as the adequacy of initiatives
[00:12:36] aimed at finding diplomatic channels for
[00:12:39] resolving the conflict. These discussions are legitimate,
[00:12:43] there is no external pressure - emphasized Le Pen and
[00:12:46] Bardella. US President Donald Trump announced plans
[00:12:50] to create an artificial intelligence unit (AI
[00:12:54] force) and appoint a person responsible for
[00:12:57] this area, or, as he put it, an AI
[00:13:00] czar. On his social network Truth Social,
[00:13:04] "Artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution or
[00:13:07] the internet, but its impact will be even greater. It may
[00:13:11] account for up to 25% of our country's
[00:13:14] GDP." End quote. Earlier,
[00:13:17] the American president suggested that the public choose a new name for artificial
[00:13:21] intelligence to more accurately describe this technology. As an example.
[00:13:43] now about the weather for the upcoming
[00:13:46] day, those who have already woken up, noted
[00:13:50] that it is cloudy outside, but the cloudiness will gradually
[00:13:53] dissipate. In the western part of the country, in the first half of the day, in
[00:13:57] many regions there will be rains, and after lunch
[00:14:00] short-term downpours are possible in some places,
[00:14:04] the wind will be predominantly south-westerly with a speed of 5 to
[00:14:07] 10, gusts up to 17 m/s, but
[00:14:11] in the second half of the day the wind will gradually weaken,
[00:14:14] the air will warm up today in Estonia to
[00:14:18] 14, 18°.
[00:14:21] On Lake Peipus, the wind is south-westerly with a speed of...
[00:14:36] Short-term rains are also possible, and after lunch
[00:14:40] the probability of precipitation will decrease, visibility
[00:14:43] will be moderate and the air temperature today during the day
[00:14:46] there will be from 15 to 170°
[00:14:50] Celsius. Atmospheric pressure in Tallinn is
[00:14:53] 751 mm. of mercury, slowly
[00:14:57] decreasing, and the relative humidity
[00:15:00] is 90%. The air temperature in Tallinn
[00:15:03] is currently
[00:15:05] +14°.
[00:15:08] During the day, the air in the capital will warm up to
[00:15:11] 17°, which means it will be relatively
[00:15:14] comfortable today during the day
[00:15:17] and this applies to almost all regions of our
[00:15:21] country. The air temperature in Narva.
[00:15:28] In Tartu, it is also +14° now, a little warmer in Pärnu, already +15
[00:15:30] there and in Velvo
[00:15:34] +14°.
[00:15:38] not a cold morning, as
[00:15:41] I said earlier, it is quite comfortable to be outside,
[00:15:44] despite the fact that it is drizzling in Tallinn, but nevertheless
[00:15:48] this should not spoil anyone's
[00:15:50] mood in any case, well, we
[00:15:53] continue our morning program with music,
[00:15:57] immediately after that we will look at the calendar, see which of
[00:16:00] famous people were ever born on September
[00:16:03] 20, and of course...
[00:16:07] We will find out what holidays are celebrated today in different parts of the world.
[00:20:23] on the calendar is September 20, we will
[00:20:26] look at it now and start with
[00:20:30] congratulations to everyone who
[00:20:33] considers themselves to be forest workers,
[00:20:37] and... why? Because exactly such an international holiday is celebrated
[00:20:41] today, the day of forest
[00:20:44] workers.
[00:20:47] Many people love the forest. They love
[00:20:50] to spend time there, walk with family,
[00:20:53] walk alone, the forest gives incredible energy,
[00:20:57] and working there is a real gift for those,
[00:21:01] of course, who adore the forest,
[00:21:04] and there are many such people in our country, fortunately,
[00:21:07] and this is great, because
[00:21:11] these are the people who ensure that forests
[00:21:15] exist, forests develop,
[00:21:18] forests, so that... because forests are
[00:21:22] a treasure, including of our
[00:21:24] country, well, and generally without
[00:21:27] forests, it is difficult to imagine a full-fledged
[00:21:31] life, the forest is the lungs of our planet,
[00:21:34] we must do everything possible to
[00:21:37] preserve and develop
[00:21:41] forests, both of our country and of the whole earth.
[00:21:45] It is estimated that forests occupy about one third of the land
[00:21:48] area and the total area. of forests on earth is
[00:21:52] 38 million
[00:21:55] km and
[00:21:58] half of this forest zone belongs
[00:22:02] to tropical forests, a quarter is located
[00:22:06] in the northern hemisphere
[00:22:08] of the earth, we are also closer to the northern part,
[00:22:12] and thank God, that Estonia is rich
[00:22:15] in forests, lately there has been a lot, of course, of talk. that
[00:22:18] too many trees are being cut down,
[00:22:22] but when you talk
[00:22:25] to representatives of RMK,
[00:22:28] they usually reassure and say that forestry
[00:22:31] is under control, not a single
[00:22:35] tree is cut down simply without reason,
[00:22:38] and hundreds of thousands
[00:22:41] of new trees are planted annually to
[00:22:45] maintain our
[00:22:47] ecological diversity.
[00:23:20] peaceful day of purity,
[00:23:23] there is also such a holiday,
[00:23:26] it is quite new, but nevertheless,
[00:23:29] the UN General Assembly considered it necessary
[00:23:33] to establish it, and this happened on December
[00:23:37] 8, 2023, that is, literally less than
[00:23:40] 3 years ago,
[00:23:42] and they decided that annually
[00:23:46] on September 20, there will be...
[00:23:50] World Cleanup
[00:23:51] Day,
[00:23:55] and this day, of course, is also aimed at
[00:23:58] making our world
[00:24:01] cleaner, cleaning it from
[00:24:04] trash, and in general, its
[00:24:07] history, this action, this
[00:24:10] day leads from the Let's Do It
[00:24:13] movement, which originated here
[00:24:17] in Estonia back in 2008.
[00:24:20] In that day, 50,000
[00:24:23] volunteers in 5 hours cleared the country
[00:24:27] of 10,000 tons
[00:24:30] of garbage, which was eventually sent for disposal and
[00:24:33] recycling. A great, huge deed,
[00:24:37] it served
[00:24:40] as an impetus for similar initiatives to
[00:24:43] appear in all countries of the world, in many countries
[00:24:47] of the world, as a result, a special
[00:24:51] day was even established,
[00:24:53] so that as many people as possible would take
[00:24:57] part in these events
[00:25:01] related to this global cleanup,
[00:25:04] a total of over
[00:25:08] 114 million people in 211
[00:25:11] countries around the world participate in
[00:25:15] World Cleanup Day events, which is to
[00:25:17] say... you can imagine how
[00:25:20] massive this
[00:25:23] movement has become, whose birth
[00:25:27] was in our country back in 2008,
[00:25:30] so let's also support
[00:25:33] this, litter less, and it's even better not to
[00:25:37] litter at all if possible, let's learn to sort
[00:25:40] garbage, it's not easy,
[00:25:43] sometimes you're lazy, but
[00:25:46] still, these small steps
[00:25:50] eventually lead to big global results,
[00:25:53] very good ones, which benefit
[00:25:57] all of us. Also celebrated today
[00:26:00] is World Rice Day. And
[00:26:03] it has been celebrated annually since
[00:26:06] 2004 at the initiative of
[00:26:09] the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN and
[00:26:13] the International Rice Research Institute,
[00:26:16] which, it turns out, exists, imagine, the International Rice
[00:26:19] Research Institute.
[00:26:22] And this holiday
[00:26:25] has a worldwide character, since rice is
[00:26:29] one of the most popular cereals on all.
[00:26:41] using rice,
[00:26:44] moreover, this date is also an occasion
[00:26:47] to remind that hunger is one of the global problems
[00:26:50] of humanity, and to this day it is hard to imagine, because
[00:26:54] somewhere people suffer from overeating, we are fighting
[00:26:58] obesity, and somewhere people continue
[00:27:01] to starve. And rice, as an unpretentious,
[00:27:05] nutritious and cheap crop, is a staple
[00:27:08] food for millions of people, and its production
[00:27:11] and sale feed about 2 billion
[00:27:15] people. In general, this cereal has
[00:27:18] a long history, according to archaeological
[00:27:22] data, it began to be cultivated more than 7,000 years
[00:27:25] ago, and although it is not reliably known which country was
[00:27:29] its homeland, but definitely...
[00:27:32] it happened somewhere in East Asia
[00:27:36] and the Persians distinguished themselves
[00:27:39] in the import of rice, they were the main suppliers of it to other
[00:27:43] continents for a long time, so eventually
[00:27:46] rice came to Africa, this happened
[00:27:49] about 2-300 years ago, and then to
[00:27:53] Europe and other countries of the world, and
[00:27:57] today there are about twenty species of this
[00:28:00] cereal crop. Among the main producers are,
[00:28:04] of course, China, India, Bangladesh,
[00:28:08] Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, which supply
[00:28:11] more than 75%
[00:28:14] of the world's rice harvest to other countries,
[00:28:18] well, the popularity of rice is no accident, thanks to its
[00:28:22] beneficial properties and compatibility with other
[00:28:24] ingredients, such as meat, seafood, vegetables, and
[00:28:28] dairy products, it forms the basis of the diet for
[00:28:32] many... people, so even though it's still
[00:28:35] early morning, it's a perfectly good option
[00:28:39] to cook, for example, rice porridge, why not,
[00:28:43] I know many people really, really love it, some like the sweet version, some like
[00:28:46] the savory version more, any version is good, the main thing
[00:28:50] is that you like it and it cheers you up, well, and of course, one
[00:28:54] of the popular dishes, including in our country made from rice,
[00:28:57] is of course pilaf, many know how to, and love
[00:29:01] to cook it,
[00:29:04] but those who don't know how to cook, surely, if
[00:29:07] they have tried delicious pilaf, then it is one of the
[00:29:10] hits - of the festive table for many,
[00:29:14] but maybe today someone will be able
[00:29:17] to afford to cook some pilaf for lunch
[00:29:21] or dinner, a great idea, why not, especially since
[00:29:25] today is World Rice Day, I remind you again, also
[00:29:28] today is International University Sports Day,
[00:29:33] so if you consider yourself a student,
[00:29:52] that ever happened in history on this day,
[00:29:55] then in 1519, on September 20,
[00:29:59] Magellan set off on his circumnavigation.
