[00:00:02] We may prefer one negotiation format or another, but the absence
[00:00:06] of negotiations is always worse. We also do not
[00:00:09] exclude the resumption of this trilateral format, but it is
[00:00:13] premature to talk about the location and exact
[00:00:15] dates. We are making history, dear
[00:00:19] friends, we will take back our country, starting here, from
[00:00:23] Saxony Anhalt.
[00:00:25] Unprecedented investments by Google - this is a serious sign of confidence in
[00:00:29] Finland. Investment decisions of this scale are not made
[00:00:32] by chance. Thanks to our immense power and
[00:00:36] economic success, I will pay every adult US citizen
[00:00:39] a dividend of $500.
[00:00:42] The outlook remains extremely
[00:00:46] uncertain. Risks of both higher inflation
[00:00:49] and weaker economic growth
[00:00:52] remain.
[00:00:58] Sabotage, cyber attacks, arson, drone incursions.
[00:01:02] European politicians are increasingly linking such incidents to Russia and
[00:01:05] speak of an intensification of hybrid attacks. But proving Moscow's
[00:01:08] involvement is far from always possible. How will Europe respond
[00:01:11] to threats that do not reach the level of direct
[00:01:15] military aggression? Alexandra Myant
[00:01:18] looked into the matter. On Thursday, the German flag
[00:01:21] and coat of arms were removed from the facade of the German Consulate General in St. Petersburg. The diplomatic mission
[00:01:25] closed in response to the recent closure of the Russian Consulate in Bonn and the Russian House
[00:01:28] in Berlin in Germany.
[00:01:31] All this is a consequence of Germany's decision to hold the Kremlin responsible for the
[00:01:35] August incident at Leipzig Airport. At that time, several
[00:01:39] drones with explosives were found
[00:01:42] next to a Ukrainian transport plane carrying ammunition. For the first time,
[00:01:45] based on evidence, Russia was officially accused of sabotage on
[00:01:48] EU territory. But there have been many similar incidents in Europe, both
[00:01:52] before and after this
[00:01:55] case. In Poland, there were arsons, they tried to blow up
[00:01:58] a moving train. Only thanks to their incompetence was no one
[00:02:02] injured. There were attacks on border crossings in Moldova,
[00:02:05] Romania, drones crossed the border of Poland, Romania,
[00:02:09] recently Lithuania. Literally yesterday, we found a drone that had drifted
[00:02:13] to our shore. All this is not the action of a responsible
[00:02:16] power. Oh, I forgot, this morning they seem to have launched
[00:02:19] flares at a Danish helicopter. And there's no
[00:02:23] end to it. Recently, there has been more and more news about Russian hybrid attacks in EU
[00:02:27] countries, and politicians are increasingly
[00:03:30] at the main summit of European leaders in Finland. European Commission
[00:03:33] President Ursula von der Leyen, in her annual address to the European
[00:03:37] Parliament, called for strengthening resistance to hybrid attacks
[00:03:40] and creating a European Security Council.
[00:03:44] Cyberattacks, sabotage, arson, drone incursions. This
[00:03:48] happens every day. The more the threat, the higher must
[00:03:52] be Europe's readiness to repel it. That is why I
[00:03:55] will propose, together with the High Representative of the European Union for
[00:03:58] Foreign Affairs, a new European security
[00:04:01] strategy. Europe needs an action plan to counter
[00:04:05] hybrid threats. We urgently need to come to an
[00:04:08] understanding of how to respond to certain incidents, those
[00:04:12] that do not reach the level of armed aggression, but clearly
[00:04:15] threaten our national
[00:04:17] security.
[00:04:19] Politicians call for action, but in practice it is often difficult to prove Russia's involvement in
[00:04:23] sabotage. The case in Leipzig is still rather
[00:04:26] an exception. Often perpetrators are hired through social networks
[00:04:30] with the help of intermediaries, and even if they are detained, they do not know the
[00:04:33] masterminds. Investigations and court confirmations can take
[00:04:36] months or even years, but countries have intelligence information
[00:04:40] that cannot always be made public, but based on it,
[00:04:43] some decisions can be made, says research
[00:04:46] fellow at the Center for Defense Studies, Mary Kof. This
[00:04:50] should be approached like the fight against terrorism, that is, focusing not on
[00:04:54] the person with the suicide belt, but trying to cut off all logistics,
[00:04:57] funding, places of residence, everything.
[00:06:23] conflict between the USA and Iran, which President Trump,
[00:06:27] however, does not intend to acknowledge. Why on the one hand again pressure on Ukraine, on
[00:06:30] the other hand, the adoption of the so-called hellish sanctions against
[00:06:34] the Russian Federation. In our studio is an expert in defense and security, Dmitry Teperik,
[00:06:38] good evening. Good evening. What is Trump's logic? The logic is
[00:06:41] simple, that the United States
[00:06:45] is preparing for elections this autumn, and of course, these
[00:06:48] two major energy shocks
[00:06:51] have overlapped and have visible
[00:06:55] and tangible consequences for the American consumer, who
[00:06:58] also looks at price tags and, of course,
[00:07:01] understands that he wants cheaper gasoline
[00:07:05] or cheaper diesel fuel, and accordingly, all of Trump's rhetoric
[00:07:09] is now directed, of course, more at the American
[00:07:42] audience. And the essence of the sanctions is actually such that
[00:07:45] it prevents the purchase of Russian
[00:07:49] oil products or indeed any other goods and
[00:07:53] services through intermediaries, that is, we are talking, of course, about
[00:07:56] Southeast Asian countries, including,
[00:07:59] of course, India, and other possible
[00:08:03] partners of Russia, be it the
[00:08:06] UAE or Brazil or other countries, thus
[00:08:09] again forcing the Russian economy
[00:08:13] to increasingly suffocate, one might say, at
[00:08:17] home, so that there are no sales markets, since
[00:08:21] these intermediaries still, one way or another, bought or still
[00:08:24] buy. It must be said that the package
[00:08:28] of sanctions was not prepared by the White House itself, but it
[00:08:30] has already, so to speak, passed through the legislative branch of the United States, that
[00:08:34] is, on these issues there is still a fairly broad consensus in
[00:08:38] the United States that Russia must be pressured not only with direct
[00:08:41] sanctions, but also through its trade
[00:08:44] intermediaries. Well, how do you think these sanctions, these "hellish" sanctions, as they are so loudly called, will
[00:08:48] work? All sanctions have a shelf
[00:08:51] life, that is, they have a cumulative
[00:08:54] effect, perhaps we will not see any results tomorrow
[00:08:58] or the day after tomorrow, but the longer they
[00:09:01] are in effect, the more difficult, of course, it will be to
[00:09:04] circumvent them, and one way or another, after some time, this cumulative
[00:09:07] effect will still show whether the Russian
[00:09:10] economy and
[00:09:13] the sale of oil products can adapt to them, because
[00:09:16] of course, as we know, regimes know how to find loopholes
[00:09:20] in any sanctions, whether it is Iran, or North
[00:09:23] Korea, but in this case the Russian Federation. Well, while we
[00:09:27] are thinking, preparing, imposing sanctions, meanwhile, tonight in Ukraine, again
[00:09:31] 11 killed after an attack
[00:09:34] by various Russian aircraft, whether
[00:09:37] drones or missiles of different types, after the visit
[00:09:41] of American...
[00:10:25] there will be another round of negotiations, but it is unlikely that these negotiations
[00:10:28] will end in any agreement.
[00:10:31] The essence of the negotiations, the very essence of the negotiations,
[00:10:34] is, both from the Ukrainian side and from the Russian side,
[00:10:37] to show the American partners
[00:10:41] a supposed willingness to move forward. Well, it is clear that Ukraine
[00:10:44] is much more interested in this, as it is the
[00:10:47] victim and the side that suffers the most.
[00:10:51] But from Russia's side, this is also, among other things, a
[00:10:55] signal to perhaps soften some sanctions and
[00:10:58] to say that they are supposedly ready
[00:11:02] for something. By the way, Ukraine has now launched a counteroffensive in
[00:11:05] Donbas, if we are talking about readiness to move
[00:11:08] somewhere. This military operation has a loud name, Vivaldi, but there is very little
[00:11:12] information about it. What is known about this operation and
[00:11:15] what is the goal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine? It is known that it
[00:11:18] is taking place in the north of the Donetsk region, in the area of
[00:11:22] Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, where
[00:11:25] as we know, there are very powerful, multi-layered fortifications
[00:11:28] and as I understand it, the goal is to
[00:11:32] seize the strategic initiative, in order to again
[00:11:36] signal to the Russian side, and possibly to European and
[00:11:39] American partners, that Ukraine is capable not only
[00:11:42] of defending itself, but also of conducting offensive
[00:11:46] operations, especially if we are talking about the period
[00:11:50] until winter, which again
[00:11:53] is expected to be very...
[00:12:25] of Russian society, details in Anton
[00:12:27] Alekseev's report. All Russian elections, both presidential and
[00:12:31] parliamentary, are similar to each other. In presidential elections, the incumbent
[00:12:35] president always wins, in parliamentary elections - the main party. The basic scenario
[00:12:38] is for United Russia to achieve a constitutional
[00:12:41] majority. Well, this may cause some
[00:12:44] bewilderment, which the authorities will have to explain to
[00:12:48] society. Let's see. Possible bewilderment of voters regarding
[00:12:51] the election results is explained simply. We will not understand.
[00:13:25] the registration of the Yabloko party was canceled. The main topic
[00:13:28] of these elections, if it were anything even slightly
[00:13:32] real, should have been the war. The war is not
[00:13:35] the topic of these elections, in fact, its discussion
[00:13:39] is prohibited. The Yabloko party was initially registered to participate in
[00:13:43] the elections, but was soon, by decision of the Supreme Court, excluded from the
[00:13:45] ballot. But Kremlin-loyal political scientists explain that
[00:13:49] Yabloko has long lost its popularity. It is quite
[00:13:52] likely that if it participated, it would not have succeeded, meaning
[00:13:56] these 2-3%, their karmic, they
[00:13:59] would have caught up with them here too, but even 2-3% do not fit into
[00:14:03] the official Russian picture of the world, believes political scientist
[00:14:05] Fyodorov. There should be no symbolic
[00:14:09] center for uniting those who are against it. There should simply not be such a party whose
[00:14:13] percentage would show that in society there are generally people who are against
[00:14:16] the war. They should not exist, but such people do exist in Russia,
[00:14:20] if you take simple questions.
[00:14:23] Every sociological company since 2022 has been asking about your
[00:14:27] attitude towards the SVO, and we see how the percentage of people who
[00:14:30] say that it's time to move to peace talks is increasing. That is, at the beginning
[00:14:34] of the year it was around 30-40%, now it's already over
[00:14:37] 50%. Polina Lermont,
[00:14:41] one of the few Yabloko candidates whom the election commission has not yet
[00:14:44] removed from the elections. Some of her party members, like Lev Shlosberg,
[00:14:48] received prison sentences for their anti-war
[00:14:50] stance. In Moscow, one of my colleagues
[00:14:54] was detained.
[00:15:43] It's not a fact that it will be, it will be some street, street protest, I fully admit local, massive
[00:15:46] no, and not just because there, I don't know,
[00:15:50] as you say, repression there and all the rest, rather
[00:15:54] it's about the fact that this contingent is not in Russia now,
[00:15:57] simply, which usually comes out and riots in the streets. Last
[00:16:01] Wednesday, the president addressed Russian voters with
[00:16:05] a call to vote. Your choice and will
[00:16:08] will again show that behind
[00:16:11] our fighters are millions of people, that we
[00:16:14] are a united nation, united by common
[00:16:17] values, historical memory, love for
[00:16:21] the homeland. If, according to President Putin, there are millions of people behind the fighters, then perhaps they themselves will go to the front. Rumors about
[00:16:25] another wave of mobilization after the elections have been circulating for several
[00:16:28] months. If Putin wanted to announce a mass mobilization, he could have done it
[00:16:32] either on the eve of the elections, or a month before, it would not have affected it in any way, as I already said at
[00:16:36] the beginning of the election campaign. People
[00:16:39] would be driven to the front, and at the same time elections would be held, so to speak, United Russia
[00:16:43] would win, what's the problem, there is no
[00:16:45] problem.
[00:16:49] These are the events that we will remember from the past week. I thank you for
[00:16:52] your attention and wish you a wonderful Saturday evening.
[00:17:20] When you get on the bus, you look at your phone, you think, "I'll sit for 5 minutes
[00:17:24] and that's it." But an hour or two passes, and you don't even notice it. An 8-year-old child
[00:17:27] spent 11 hours on the phone. What
[00:17:31] kind of government ban can do anything here?
[00:17:34] The danger of the development of all this is precisely that we
[00:17:38] become dopamine addicts and cannot control
[00:17:41] ourselves. That, I think, is actually scary. Children

[00:18:56] Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death in
[00:18:59] Estonia.
[00:19:01] Elections to the State Duma are being held in Russia, people come to vote at the
[00:19:05] Russian Embassy in Tallinn.
[00:19:09] A series of reforms is changing the Estonian school system, teachers are at their
[00:19:12] limit, and the opposition is calling the minister to
[00:19:14] account.
[00:19:19] Four under arrest, one wanted, after the murder of a young man in
[00:19:22] Kohtla-Järve, the issue of security
[00:19:24] has been raised again.
[00:19:26] On air, Aktuaalne kaamera plus with the main news of the past week. Good
[00:19:30] evening. The health indicators of the cardiovascular system among residents
[00:19:34] of Estonia are among the worst in the EU. According to
[00:20:07] there are means to intervene, but these means must be applied
[00:20:11] and done consistently. According to Elmet, to a large extent these
[00:20:15] diseases are related to lifestyle, risks can be reduced by
[00:20:18] changing one's behavior.
[00:20:21] It is many times cheaper to prevent diseases and not allow them, than to then
[00:20:25] treat them, that is, to put out a fire. It is very expensive.
[00:20:28] Not only us, but also other wealthy European countries cannot cope with this
[00:20:31] financially, and we are completely unnecessarily losing people's
[00:20:34] health. If in Europe
[00:20:37] cardiovascular diseases account for a quarter
[00:20:40] of preventable deaths, then in Estonia this figure is
[00:20:43] 30%. According to cardiologist Alar Irs, to
[00:20:47] reduce the number of preventable deaths, it is necessary
[00:20:50] first of all to address the rapidly growing problem of childhood obesity.
[00:20:54] If in 2021, 7% of teenagers were overweight, then
[00:20:58] in 20 years, every fifth teenager will be
[00:21:01] overweight. It is also essential to start working with people who
[00:21:05] are at risk of developing cardiovascular
[00:21:06] diseases.
[00:21:09] For example, hypertension in Estonia is the most obvious target. These
[00:21:13] people can already be identified based on existing data.
[00:21:17] If we can find them, then education and treatment will help.
[00:21:28] is the only mandatory visit to the doctor. In the near future, they will
[00:21:31] start checking whether it can be used to detect diseases at
[00:21:35] an earlier stage. The occupational health doctor conducts
[00:21:38] various analyses, asks about the state of health, and then
[00:21:42] assesses whether the person has an increased risk of developing
[00:21:46] cardiovascular disease, or already has a disease. He consults
[00:21:51] him
[00:21:58] and maintains documentation in more detail than
[00:22:02] today. At the same time, monitoring a person's
[00:22:05] health condition still remains the task of the family doctor. During the year,
[00:22:09] an average of 270,000 people with hypertension
[00:22:12] visit doctors, and the costs of their treatment amount to about
[00:22:15] 36 million euros. The health insurance fund's expenses
[00:22:18] for diseases.
[00:23:20] In connection with such a situation, of course, we understand
[00:23:22] everything, but it's unpleasant,
[00:23:26] unpleasant. A small protest action took place opposite
[00:23:29] the embassy today, its participants called the elections
[00:23:32] illegal. Of course, there were also those who showed thumbs up,
[00:23:36] who were happy, but there were also
[00:23:38] Russian-speaking Russian citizens who told us that we
[00:23:41] are fascists, that Ukrainians are all fascists, that we are all
[00:23:45] traitors, bastards, pro-Russian elections.
