[00:00:02] The last day of the elections coincided with a massive attack by Ukrainian
[00:00:06] drones on Moscow and other Russian
[00:00:08] regions. Voting today took place outside of
[00:00:12] Russia, polling stations opened in Russian diplomatic missions around the
[00:00:16] world, including at the Russian embassy in Tallinn.
[00:00:20] At the entrance to the embassy, the police checked and photographed documents of everyone
[00:00:23] wishing to take part in the voting. They checked
[00:00:26] very strictly. Is this good or bad?
[00:00:30] Well, you know, given the situation, of course, we
[00:00:34] understand everything, but it's unpleasant,
[00:00:37] unpleasant. A small protest rally took place opposite the embassy today.
[00:00:41] Its participants called the elections illegal.
[00:00:45] Of course, there were also those who gave a thumbs up, who were happy, but
[00:00:48] there were also Russian-speaking Russian citizens
[00:00:52] who told us that we are fascists, that all Ukrainians
[00:00:55] are fascists, that we are all traitors,
[00:00:57] scoundrels. Pro-Russian elections often.
[00:01:31] from this, and which parties have you excluded
[00:01:33] for yourself?
[00:01:36] Since I don't like the direction
[00:01:39] the country is moving in, and this
[00:01:42] causes difficulties for me personally,
[00:01:45] I didn't vote for United Russia. Many see
[00:01:49] the Communists as an alternative to the ruling party, that is, United Russia. Again, it's connected
[00:01:53] to this war, either it will end sooner, or they will drag
[00:01:57] it out for a long time. Do you think this depends
[00:02:00] on the elections? I think so.
[00:02:04] Please explain how it depends on the elections. The Duma doesn't declare
[00:02:07] war, does it? Yes, but the Duma still ultimately
[00:02:10] influences. For example, if the Communist Party of the Russian Federation
[00:02:13] comes to power in the Duma, then this will still affect
[00:02:16] Putin.
[00:02:19] There are also elections in Germany. They are taking place today in two federal
[00:02:23] states at once. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, according to the latest polls,
[00:02:27] Alternative for Germany is leading and is predicted
[00:02:30] to get about 38% of the votes. In Berlin, the struggle is with a minimal
[00:02:33] margin, the Left is ahead of the CDU by only one percentage point.
[00:02:37] These elections are also important for federal politics. After the recent success of
[00:02:41] the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, pressure on Chancellor Friedrich Merz has increased.
[00:02:44] The CDU will be particularly attentive to the results of its party in
[00:02:48] Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where it risks not overcoming
[00:02:51] the five percent barrier.
[00:02:54] And let's return to local news. In the Estonian
[00:04:39] Kopli starts, let's remember the main events of the past seven
[00:04:42] days. Teachers and rescuers gathered at the
[00:04:45] Riigikogu building before the start of the autumn parliamentary session for a demonstration demanding
[00:04:49] a significant increase in wages for public
[00:04:52] sector workers. New ministers took office,
[00:04:55] the post of Minister of Economy and Industry was taken by Liina Vahtros, Martin
[00:04:59] Herem became Minister of Defense, Erki Kelda moved from the post of Minister
[00:05:02] of Economy to the post of Minister of Energy and Environment.
[00:05:05] In Tallinn, about 200 primary school graduates
[00:05:09] have not yet received places for further education. Half of them
[00:05:13] are young people for whom Russian is their native
[00:05:15] language. The opposition continues to demand a change of
[00:05:19] government, while the mechanism for the resignation of the Cabinet of Ministers has
[00:05:23] not yet been agreed upon. The government
[00:05:25] is considering postponing the completion dates for the construction of the Rail Baltica
[00:05:29] project. Ministers believe that the project should be completed later
[00:05:33] in order to fully use the funds allocated by the European Union and not
[00:05:36] shift additional costs to the
[00:05:38] state budget.
[00:05:41] The opposition is increasingly demanding accountability from Minister
[00:05:45] of Education Kristina Kallas for the problems accompanying numerous
[00:05:48] reforms in the school system. The minister herself sees no fault. Nevertheless,
[00:05:52] questions about how all these transformations are being carried out
[00:05:56] exist among representatives of the ruling coalition, as Sergei
[00:05:58] Mikhailov will report. Starting this academic year, an extended
[00:06:02] educational obligation is in force in Estonia. After basic
[00:06:05] school, young people must continue their education until they reach
[00:06:09] 18 years of age in a gymnasium, vocational school, or preparatory training.
[00:06:12] But the first year of the new system immediately showed several problems: at the end
[00:06:16] of summer, hundreds of basic school graduates still had no place to continue
[00:06:19] their studies. Additional difficulties arose due to the new CAIS
[00:06:23] admissions system. Of course, it was necessary to create
[00:06:26] a sufficient number of these study places. They made
[00:06:29] substantially more than in previous years, both in applied colleges and
[00:06:33] in preparatory training programs. But the main lesson of the first
[00:06:37] year of this reform is precisely that we should have created
[00:06:41] more places specifically for... preparatory training in these
[00:06:44] schools, and I believe that next year this will definitely
[00:06:47] be done. The arising problem is actively pedaled
[00:06:51] by politicians, for example, the Centre Party, which is in opposition, blames
[00:06:54] the current Minister of Education, Kristina Kallas, for the problems that have arisen
[00:06:58] and demands her resignation. The latter does not
[00:07:01] agree with this assessment. According to her, the new system did not create the problem, it made it
[00:07:05] visible. The fact that students after the ninth grade must continue
[00:07:08] studying, I understand the stress of the centrists, because suddenly.
[00:07:12] uh, the king was naked, that is, they saw that in reality, the fact that
[00:07:16] someone studies for 9 years in an Estonian school, but does not speak Estonian when graduating from school,
[00:07:20] cannot get into anywhere, this has now finally been revealed to
[00:07:23] our society, because in previous years these
[00:07:26] children simply, we removed them from our database, they
[00:07:30] disappeared from us. But if the problem with study places appeared in
[00:07:34] the first year of the new system, then a broader question concerns several
[00:07:37] reforms at once. For the ministry, these are different reforms, but for
[00:07:41] schools, everything happens simultaneously: new requirements, new teachers,
[00:07:45] new schedules. The question is whether the system will have enough resources
[00:07:49] to cope with all these changes at once. Liina
[00:07:52] Kersna says that several major reforms are simultaneously underway in the education
[00:07:55] sector. According to her, the problem is not necessarily in the changes themselves, but in
[00:07:59] the system's ability to implement them simultaneously.
[00:08:03] When approximately eight different reforms are
[00:08:06] carried out simultaneously in the education sector, it is quite understandable that the ministry is not
[00:08:09] able to prepare them sufficiently in detail. The sector itself, on the other
[00:08:13] hand, is not able to sufficiently accept all these
[00:08:17] reforms, because it simply does not have the resources to implement so many changes
[00:08:20] simultaneously, so it is true, I believe, scientific data confirms
[00:08:24] this, that launching so many reforms at once
[00:08:28] is usually not a good practice. Another former
[00:08:31] Minister of Education, Jaak Aaviksoo, believes that reforms should perhaps have been carried out
[00:08:35] sequentially. In my opinion, society does not fully
[00:08:39] understand what reforms and what goals are involved. Maybe... one
[00:08:43] reform should have been started, then
[00:08:46] waited, then a second one. Well, it's clear that politicians want everything
[00:08:50] at once, everything fast, unfortunately it doesn't turn out
[00:08:53] that simple. At the same time, Aaviksoo doesn't consider the very idea of mandatory continuation
[00:08:56] of education to be wrong, he reminds that previously, after basic school,
[00:09:00] significantly more young people did not continue their education, but now the state
[00:09:04] must not only see these young people in its databases, but also provide
[00:09:07] them with a real opportunity to continue their education, and here the
[00:09:11] question of resources arises. Unfortunately, no additional
[00:09:14] funds were allocated for these reforms, and
[00:09:17] it is clear that the volume of education
[00:09:21] has increased as a result of these reforms, and
[00:09:25] no additional money was provided. This means that somewhere,
[00:09:28] here and there, cuts must be made, it raises
[00:09:31] tensions. I think these are not the most
[00:09:34] successful reforms, precisely in the sense that additional
[00:09:38] funding was not allocated. At the school level, one of the
[00:09:42] main resources remains people. Kristina Kallas says that before the transition
[00:09:45] to Estonian-language education in schools and kindergartens, there were about 1800
[00:09:49] employees who did not meet the requirements for knowledge of the Estonian language.
[00:09:53] Currently, according to local self-governments, there are just over
[00:09:56] 100 such teachers left. However, former ministers point to another side of the problem -
[00:10:00] the shortage of qualified subject teachers. Even in
[00:10:04] Virumaa, where we introduced salary supplements, teachers who speak
[00:10:07] Estonian receive significantly more than here in
[00:10:11] Tartu, Tallinn or.
[00:11:25] will be enough, because there are indeed very many reforms. Experts call
[00:11:28] the transition to Estonian-language education a correct step, and Kristina
[00:11:32] Kallas notes that she did not start the reform, but the first results are already
[00:11:36] visible. As of today, at least according to the
[00:11:39] registration provided by the local self-government, we have 144
[00:11:43] teachers left who still do not meet the Estonian language requirements,
[00:11:47] that is, in 2 years, we have reached a situation with the reform where an
[00:11:51] Estonian-speaking teacher stands in front of the class, who can teach in...
[00:12:25] the most serious problem, unfortunately. Another question is
[00:12:28] how much the state should regulate school life. Mailis
[00:12:31] Reps believes that schools and teachers need to be given more autonomy and
[00:12:35] reduce the number of bureaucratic requirements. Let's trust
[00:12:39] schools again. The current course, from the beginning of the school day to
[00:12:43] any management decisions, this pull towards rigid centralization
[00:12:46] is absolutely wrong. Our uniqueness and our strength have always
[00:12:50] been in local trust. Everything is decided by one
[00:12:53] specific teacher in the classroom. We need to reduce bureaucracy, because
[00:12:56] look, when you issue an order from top to bottom, how do you control
[00:13:00] it? You don't go to the school yourself, you ask for a report. And the more directives
[00:13:03] from above, the more the teacher fills out all sorts of meaningless papers, and the more
[00:13:07] time is wasted instead of working with the
[00:13:10] child. Thus, the dispute is no longer just about the necessity
[00:13:13] of reforms. Former ministers and representatives of the education system evaluate
[00:13:17] their pace, quantity, funding, and degree of state
[00:13:20] control differently. And the Minister of Education insists: the main changes
[00:13:24] are necessary, and... The first results are already
[00:13:26] visible.
[00:13:29] Police continue to investigate the circumstances of the death of a young man in
[00:13:32] Kohtla-Järve. Four suspects have been remanded in custody. Another -
[00:13:36] Roman Vasamägi - is on the wanted list. The investigation believes that he played
[00:13:40] a key role in the conflict. This resonant incident once again
[00:13:43] raised questions about security in the city. Dmitry Fedotkin
[00:13:46] visited the scene of the events.
[00:13:49] This is a garage cooperative on Endla street in Kohtla-Järve. It was on its
[00:13:53] territory on September 13th.
[00:14:07] We know that everything started in one of the entertainment venues. Later,
[00:14:11] the parties agreed to meet and resolve the dispute. This is the
[00:14:14] information we have at the moment. We are currently
[00:14:17] considering and checking several versions. Currently,
[00:14:21] the police are trying to reconstruct the events minute by minute: who arrived at the
[00:14:25] scene, how the conflict started, and what happened in those few minutes that
[00:14:28] ended with the death of the twenty-one-year-old man. Investigators continue
[00:14:32] to interview eyewitnesses. There were about thirty
[00:14:35] people present. It is also being established what objects could have been used during
[00:14:39] the conflict as a weapon. During
[00:14:41] the search, the investigation seized several objects that could
[00:14:44] have been used as weapons. At the same time, there is no talk yet of firearms,
[00:14:48] these are objects visually resembling weapons. Expertise should
[00:14:52] establish their exact nature. Yes, among those present.
[00:15:37] conflicts and fights in the city, according to them, happen. In this cooperative,
[00:15:41] sometimes thefts occur, but such a tragedy is not remembered here.
[00:15:45] During the filming, the correspondent noticed a group of teenagers in the garage cooperative
[00:15:49] who were climbing on abandoned buildings. No,
[00:15:52] it's very rare for something to happen here,
[00:15:56] maybe 10 years ago something like that happened, some car was stolen, the
[00:15:59] police came here, and then it was all quiet, only now this
[00:16:03] commotion is going on in the city. There's a dump behind the garages,
[00:16:06] well, sometimes teenagers hang out there. We're going
[00:16:09] to have a meeting and we're going to install cameras to make it
[00:16:13] even more peaceful. Kohtla-Järve activist
[00:16:16] Yuri Sychov works at a security company and says that he
[00:16:19] regularly has to deal with situations where people need
[00:16:22] help. I think that in Kohtla-Järve this has been going on
[00:16:26] for quite a long time, it was all there in my youth, and it's still
[00:16:30] there, and I think it will happen again,
[00:16:34] it just happened this time that a person died and...
[00:17:07] it is most necessary, it is clear that weekends are a more tense
[00:17:11] time, people have more free time, alcohol is consumed more
[00:17:14] often, and in many cases it is the cause of such
[00:17:18] conflicts. At different times of the day I am
[00:17:22] on the streets, I fortunately have
[00:17:25] no bad experiences with the streets
[00:17:29] of Kohtla-Järve parks. We have a specific plan on our
[00:17:33] table today, we are considering
[00:17:35] installing additional cameras, which will be of higher
[00:17:39] quality, more modern, and there will be,
[00:17:42] of course, many more of them than now. According to the police, it is important to
[00:17:46] report conflicts even before the situation escalates into a serious
[00:17:49] incident. We assess risks, communicate with the participants
[00:17:53] of the conflict, conduct preventive conversations, and consider the situation
[00:17:56] as a whole, including checking whether these people
[00:18:00] have previously been in the police's field of vision. After this, further
[00:18:03] measures are taken, so I urge you to definitely report such cases.
[00:21:20] for a new term. There are unsuccessful plays, but the artistic director
[00:24:50] At night, variable cloudiness, short-term rains in many areas,
[00:24:54] thunderstorms in some places in western Estonia, southwest and south winds from 3 to 9
[00:24:57] m/s, gusting up to 15 m/s on the coast, air
[00:25:01] temperature from 7 to 11 degrees, up to 14
[00:25:03] degrees on the coast. During the day, variable cloudiness and
[00:25:07] rains will persist, sometimes heavy with thunderstorms, northwest
[00:25:10] to west winds from 3 to 9 m/s, gusting up to
[00:25:13] 13 m/s on the coast, and air temperature from 14 to
[00:25:59] See you tomorrow in Coffee Plus. The beginning of the school day.
[00:26:02] Disputes and exclusions, the labor market, where employers should look for
[00:26:06] people. Livestock is once again gaining momentum.
[00:26:09] Dentistry abroad, cheap and fast, but is it worth
[00:26:12] the risk? At what age in Estonia do people most often decide to
[00:26:15] buy a home? Watch us tomorrow at 7:10 AM.
[00:26:30] One day, two crimes. The brutal murder
[00:26:34] of a pharmacist and a daring attempt to steal a top-secret
[00:26:38] car.
[00:26:44] Coincidence? Nina doesn't think so. All that's left
[00:26:47] is to find the connection.
[00:26:51] Arctic Circle. Third
[00:26:53] season. Monday to Thursday at
[00:26:56] 22:05 on ETV Plus. The series is broadcast in
[00:27:00] its original language with Russian subtitles.
[00:27:38] The Amazon - the largest forest mass in the world, home to
[00:27:42] millions of animals and plants, many of which are found only
[00:27:46] here. About 200
[00:27:49] indigenous tribes live in these jungles. Shamans perform mysterious rituals and
[00:27:53] communicate with spirits.
[00:27:56] This is a completely different world, which, despite the arrival of civilization,
[00:28:00] has managed to preserve itself in its pristine form.
[00:28:06] Outside Manaus, the roads practically end, and
[00:28:09] real off-road begins. And if you think I'm
[00:28:12] talking about this dirt road, then you're wrong. Outside
[00:28:16] the city, a real nightmare begins, where you need
[00:28:19] a tractor, a tank. So, to show you the Amazonian off-road, I
[00:28:23] picked a car that can handle it. So,
[00:28:26] let's take a little ride and see what it's like in
[00:28:29] the Amazonian forests, where there are no roads? The real
[00:28:33] car of the "World Inside Out" team, a dream,
[00:28:37] oh, getting into such a difficult one, you'll have to grab
[00:28:40] the wheel like this, oh, well,
[00:28:43] let's ride,
[00:28:45] beast-machine,
[00:28:54] wow, in the Amazonian tropics, such roads
[00:28:57] are everywhere. The depth of this puddle is no less than a meter. Often caimans
[00:29:01] settle in such places. When the rainy season comes and the Amazon
[00:29:05] overflows, it becomes impossible to pass such
[00:29:08] sections. Roads turn into rivers.
[00:29:11] Whoa, we're already more than
[00:29:13] a meter
[00:29:17] submerged. If it were an ordinary car, it would have drowned up to
[00:29:20] its roof.
[00:29:28] Here, in principle, are normal Amazonian roads.
[00:29:36] Well, as you saw, if it weren't for this car, there would be no chance
[00:29:40] of getting through, even in a good modern SUV. Let's go further, the road
[00:29:43] continues, we have a small
[00:29:45] ascent, which is also very difficult to overcome.
[00:29:49] Slowly
[00:29:50] climbing,
[00:29:55] in principle, outside of cities, the entire Amazon
[00:29:58] is approximately like this, special equipment is needed for movement.
[00:30:05] And even then, it won't pass
[00:30:06] everywhere.
[00:30:12] Ascents and descents. Actually, I undertook this
[00:30:16] trip not by chance at all. Can you imagine the effort
[00:30:20] it took to lay the roads that exist here? It's just a nightmare.
[00:30:24] In order to lay roads, it was necessary to ruthlessly
[00:30:27] cut down all the forests. And the Indians who were encountered
[00:30:31] by the road builders were forced to be driven
[00:30:34] away, their settlements destroyed. So it's good
[00:30:37] that there are few roads in the Amazon now. If there are more roads, it will only
[00:30:41] mean one thing: hundreds of hectares of forest have been destroyed,
[00:30:44] new tribes
[00:30:46] have been destroyed.
[00:30:51] In Brazil, friends, there are 1.5 million
[00:30:54] kilometers of roads, and
[00:30:57] only 200,000 of them are asphalted roads, and this indicates
[00:31:01] that a million...
