[00:00:34] Sociological observers and politicians continue to discuss the fresh rating of
[00:00:38] the ATemor party, this time focusing on the decline in support for
[00:00:41] centrists among Russian-speaking
[00:00:43] voters.
[00:00:45] Four Italian servicemen were wounded during exercises at a training ground in
[00:00:49] Latvia as a result of so-called friendly
[00:00:52] fire.
[00:00:54] The Ministry of Internal Affairs published open data on
[00:00:58] deceased residents of Estonia for...
[00:02:00] we have such an average rating of about
[00:02:02] 15-17%, but in Tallinn it
[00:02:06] is more than 20%, in rural
[00:02:08] counties significantly lower.
[00:02:11] The growth of support for social democrats in the capital, Osinovsky attributes, among other things, to the assessment
[00:02:15] of the work of the new city government. The Centre Party evaluates this dynamic
[00:02:18] differently. It seems to me that today the Centre
[00:02:21] Party shows enviable
[00:02:24] stability, unlike other parties. We
[00:02:28] have
[00:02:30] a tendency for constant growth, but it is stable, not in
[00:02:34] leaps, we maintain a certain
[00:02:37] plateau, a sufficiently high support, while among
[00:02:40] non-Estonians throughout the country, centrists maintain an overwhelming advantage,
[00:02:44] they are supported by almost 64% of respondents,
[00:02:46] observers believe that against this background, the party has no reason for
[00:02:50] concern. I think that the Centre Party is not
[00:02:53] losing its Russian-speaking electorate at such a rate as to
[00:02:57] become a problem for it, on the one hand. Yes, they lost somewhat in
[00:03:01] 2022, when the war began and when, so to
[00:03:05] speak, the political positions of Russian speakers themselves diverged
[00:03:08] very strongly, on the other hand, in the rating, centrists
[00:03:11] did not fall so much that it would cause any concern.
[00:03:15] There is also another reason why comparing current and previous results by
[00:03:19] nationality becomes more difficult. According to sociologists,
[00:03:22] young people with Russian as their native language are increasingly identifying themselves as Estonians. This
[00:03:26] tendency is noted by politicians. In fact,
[00:03:29] this is a constant message of the Centre Party,
[00:03:33] we aim for there to be as few
[00:03:36] divisive factors as possible in society, and here
[00:03:40] there is undoubtedly a role for media channels that
[00:03:42] consciously focus
[00:03:46] on the national question, and thus
[00:03:48] it becomes more difficult to reach a common
[00:03:51] goal, a younger, more educated,
[00:03:55] active part of Russian-speaking society, increasingly resembles
[00:03:58] Estonian-speaking fellow citizens, which, of course,
[00:04:02] in the context of societal development, is positive. In
[00:04:06] the September Emor poll, about 30% of voters had not decided on their
[00:04:10] preferences.
[00:04:12] Four Italian servicemen were wounded during exercises at a
[00:04:16] training ground in Latvia. Italian servicemen were traveling in an armored vehicle when they
[00:04:19] were fired upon from another armored vehicle of the Italian army. All
[00:04:23] servicemen involved in this incident are in Latvia as
[00:04:26] part of the mission. The cause of the so- called friendly
[00:04:30] fire incident is not yet
[00:04:31] known.
[00:04:34] Last night, Russia carried out several strikes on Ukraine, as a result
[00:04:38] of which civilians were injured. In Zaporizhzhia, two
[00:04:41] women died when a drone hit a residential building. In Kyiv, five
[00:04:45] people were injured when a drone hit a residential building. In
[00:04:48] Kharkiv, at least four people were injured as a result of drone
[00:04:51] attacks. Ukrainian drones attacked Rostov Oblast and
[00:04:55] enterprises in Krasnodar Krai. There are dead and
[00:04:58] wounded.
[00:05:01] Last night, railway traffic was stopped for several hours in western
[00:05:05] Germany, criminals cut several
[00:05:08] cables at the central railway station of Gelsenkirchen. Repair
[00:05:11] work was completed by noon today, and train
[00:05:15] traffic partially resumed. Police consider
[00:05:18] sabotage the most likely version, but do not rule
[00:05:21] out that the cables were stolen to be sold for scrap metal.
[00:05:24] Similar, though less extensive, incidents on the railway in Germany
[00:05:28] occurred at the end of
[00:05:30] summer.
[00:05:32] The Ministry of Internal Affairs published open data on deceased
[00:05:36] residents of Estonia for the last 100 years. Officials claim that
[00:05:40] the publication of such information does not pose
[00:05:43] a danger to the relatives of the deceased and will facilitate the work of
[00:05:47] institutions. More on the topic includes the point of view of a
[00:05:51] lawyer, the Data Protection Inspectorate, in the next material.
[00:05:54] Until now, in order to obtain information about the death of a person who is
[00:05:58] not a close relative, it was necessary to specifically request it from
[00:06:01] the population register. Now,
[00:06:04] open access has been provided to the names, surnames, personal codes, dates of birth
[00:06:08] and death of all residents of Estonia who passed away since the beginning of
[00:06:11] 1920.
[00:06:42] in particular, when studying genealogies, as well as the history of Estonian
[00:06:45] surnames. Information about people who died before
[00:06:48] the 1940s can often be found in church books and
[00:06:52] state registers of 1930 and
[00:06:54] 1940, and after that, for a long time there was no source from
[00:06:58] which one could find out the date of death of a person, now it
[00:07:01] exists. In addition, I use this database in my research of
[00:07:05] Estonian surnames at the Estonian Language Institute. I can
[00:07:08] determine when one or another surname disappeared, that is, when the last
[00:07:12] person died.
[00:08:13] The tank of this tractor holds 450 liters of diesel
[00:08:16] fuel. If earlier refueling such a volume cost about
[00:08:20] 270 euros, now you will have to pay
[00:08:23] 550 euros for it. At the same time, this amount of fuel
[00:08:26] will last for approximately one working day.
[00:08:30] The resolution of a dispute between an employee and an employer
[00:08:33] today can take a rather long path, from the Labor
[00:08:36] Inspectorate to the county, district and
[00:08:40] state court.
[00:08:51] The last decade has proven that drones and technology are not only
[00:08:54] of the present, but also of the future, modern children enthusiastically
[00:08:57] learn to control drones, fortunately,
[00:09:00] it's not at all
[00:09:01] difficult.
[00:09:08] The former industrial zone in Narva-Jõesuu is becoming part of the tourist
[00:09:12] route. Today, next to the lighthouse and the sea mole, a cultural quarter
[00:09:15] was opened. The first big event was the Minoga
[00:09:19] Festival. With the opening of the Surlozi cultural quarter
[00:09:22] in Narva-Jõesuu, the territory of the former Robolovetsky collective farm
[00:09:26] Oktyabr became a place for walks, recreation and concerts.
[00:09:30] The first guests were received here today at the
[00:09:32] Minoga Festival. Construction work has been completed, now
[00:09:35] the quarter.
[00:09:39] Kultuurikvartal ei ole kindlasti valmis.
[00:09:42] is not yet ready, construction work has been completed, but we still have
[00:09:46] a lot of work ahead of us to fill it, because a cultural
[00:09:49] quarter is not only concrete, metal and industrial heritage, which
[00:09:53] can also be seen in this territory, and already next
[00:09:56] year various summer events will be held here, we
[00:10:00] cooperated and negotiated with various organizers of cultural
[00:10:03] events, a project costing about 2 million euros received
[00:10:06] support from the Just Transition Fund, here they preserved
[00:10:10] part of the industrial heritage, for example, the winch that
[00:10:13] lifted ships for repair. The development of this part of the resort
[00:10:16] will continue beyond the boundaries of the quarter. The city has plans
[00:10:20] for the neighboring territory of Mayak. For the territory next to
[00:10:23] Mayak and now the opened cultural quarter, we plan to develop
[00:10:27] infrastructure for the city museum, today it is
[00:10:31] located on Nurme Street in a rather deplorable state, we still conceptually believe
[00:10:35] that the ideal place for a museum is here, and
[00:10:38] of course, we also plan to develop possible cafes, restaurants and
[00:10:41] other public places through
[00:10:45] building rights on this territory. Spa hotels and residential buildings
[00:10:48] may appear in the quarter. For now, the task is to attract
[00:10:51] visitors and event organizers, lighthouse.
[00:16:12] Good evening, Orbita is on air and our view of the world for
[00:16:15] the week. The war in Ukraine enters another winter, and strikes
[00:16:19] on energy infrastructure are becoming more and more intense. In Russia,
[00:16:22] after the elections to the State Duma, the authorities talk about supporting their course, and rumors
[00:16:26] about a new wave of mobilization have not yet been confirmed, but do not
[00:16:29] subside. Meanwhile, in Germany, voters are increasingly casting
[00:16:33] their votes for parties on the extreme political flanks, the far-right AfD
[00:16:37] at
[00:16:41] what changes Europe expects? All about this in just
[00:16:44] a minute.
[00:16:48] The situation is further complicated by the fact that strikes on energy infrastructure are part of
[00:16:52] the tactical goals of both sides. Ukraine inflicts damage on
[00:16:55] Russia by attacking its energy sector, which is a source of
[00:16:58] revenue. Russia inflicts damage on Ukraine by attacking its power grid,
[00:17:02] especially with the approach of
[00:17:03] winter.
[00:17:07] profound
[00:17:38] turning point for the CDU in Germany, a result in which we could not overcome
[00:17:41] the five-percent barrier, and an entire faction leaves the state parliament,
[00:17:45] this is a dramatic, unprecedented event, this is a heavy
[00:17:48] blow.
[00:17:52] In Kyiv today, there are disruptions with the internet and the broadcasting of several
[00:17:55] TV channels after a series of Russian strikes on the data center of the telecommunications
[00:17:58] operator Kosmos. Ukrainian drones attacked
[00:18:02] oil refineries in Russia's Krasnodar Krai last night.
[00:18:06] Strikes on energy infrastructure are becoming an increasingly noticeable part of the war
[00:18:09] on both sides, especially on the eve of winter. Kyiv warns that
[00:18:13] it will respond to Russian attacks. Moscow declares its readiness to resume
[00:18:17] negotiations. They were discussed this week in New York. Konstantin
[00:18:21] Sverdovsky will continue. The 81st session of the UN General Assembly
[00:18:24] became a platform for new statements related to Ukraine.
[00:18:28] Speaking from the main UN tribune in New York, Ukrainian President Vladimir
[00:18:32] Zelensky threatened Russia. General Frost can go over to
[00:18:35] the side of those who defend.
[00:18:38] Ukrainians understand that this winter can be very harsh for us, but in response we will
[00:18:42] have no other choice but to make it painful for
[00:18:46] Russia as well. That is why we say that de-escalation steps
[00:18:49] are important and necessary before winter comes, right
[00:18:52] now. Recently, as progress
[00:18:56] on the front does not show significant results, the military, especially
[00:18:59] the Russian army, began to strike civilian infrastructure targets with
[00:19:03] particular ferocity. The targets are now ordinary
[00:19:06] gas stations, both on the Ukrainian side and on
[00:19:10] the Russian side. Both Kyiv and Moscow demonstrate to each other
[00:19:13] their readiness to make the lives of civilians
[00:19:16] unbearable during the heating season. U.S. Secretary of State, commenting on the war in
[00:19:19] Ukraine, noted that neither side will be able to win on the battlefield,
[00:19:23] therefore, they will have to agree at the diplomatic
[00:19:27] level. The situation is further complicated by the fact that
[00:19:30] strikes on energy infrastructure are part of the tactical goals of both
[00:19:34] sides. Ukraine inflicts damage on Russia and
[00:19:37] the sector, which is a source of revenue. Russia inflicts damage on
[00:19:41] Ukraine by attacking its power grid, especially with the approach of
[00:19:44] winter. That's the problem. Both sides have identified energy as
[00:19:48] a strategic target within their military objectives, but in the case of
[00:19:51] oil and gas, this affects the whole world.
[00:19:55] The United States attempted to establish contact between the countries at the
[00:19:58] presidential level by inviting Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit.
[00:20:02] It should be noted that the Russian delegation in New York was led not by the president, but by
[00:20:06] the foreign minister.
[00:20:08] According to the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Russia wants to
[00:20:11] agree not on a temporary truce, which U.S. Secretary of State Marcoru
[00:20:15] regularly mentions, but on establishing a long-term
[00:20:18] peace. As
[00:20:20] for the ceasefire,
[00:20:23] we repeat once
[00:20:26] again, we are open to a peaceful
[00:20:29] settlement process, but we believe
[00:20:33] that it is necessary to strive for peace,
[00:20:37] not a temporary truce, this
[00:20:40] position of ours has not undergone any changes,
[00:20:43] but it is important to understand that the key issue is the status of the conquered
[00:20:47] lands, because even if the de facto agreement
[00:20:50] implies that Russia will retain control of Donbas and Crimea, this does not mean that in
[00:20:54] the future there will not be an attempt to return the territories, since de
[00:20:58] jure the land will remain with Kyiv. Donald Trump could not
[00:21:01] answer a direct question: should Ukraine make territorial
[00:21:05] concessions, although shortly before that he himself stated that together with
[00:21:09] Vladimir Zelensky he was working on a peace
[00:21:11] settlement plan. But I think they will conclude an agreement,
[00:21:15] and I don't want to say exactly what it will be, we talk a lot about it, including with
[00:21:19] the president.
[00:21:32] In Russia, after the elections to the State Duma, the current government began to use
[00:21:36] the official election results as a kind of referendum in support of its
[00:21:40] actions, however, beyond slogans and patriotic statements, nothing
[00:21:43] has happened yet. Now I want to address
[00:21:46] our fighters and commanders
[00:21:51] on the front line,
[00:21:54] I want you to know, comrades, this is a vote for
[00:21:57] you, people believe
[00:22:00] in you, believe in our victory, there were
[00:22:03] many assumptions that Russia would immediately start a new wave of
[00:22:07] mobilization after the elections, so far there is no confirmation of this, also despite the
[00:22:11] rhetoric of some politicians, the general course of the EU is still such that
[00:22:15] Russia is not preparing troops for a clash with
[00:22:18] Europe.
[00:22:50] attack and not on NATO's eastern flank, as has been repeatedly suggested, in
[00:22:53] the Mediterranean Sea. The Spanish newspaper El Mundo
[00:22:56] states that the CIA warned France, Spain and Italy that
[00:23:00] the Kremlin could conduct its spiderweb operation. In the summer of last
[00:23:04] year, attack drones flew out of several trucks on the territory of the Russian Federation
[00:23:08] and hit many targets, significantly distant from Ukrainian
[00:23:11] territory. According to American intelligence, the same principle
[00:23:15] could be applied here, only the drones will not launch from trucks,
[00:23:18] but from sea containers.
[00:23:23] The official results of the elections to the Russian State Duma are a record
[00:23:27] turnout and a record victory for United Russia, and this against the background of people's fatigue
[00:23:31] from the war, which is increasingly being discussed not only by opponents of the regime, who from the very
[00:23:35] beginning condemned the aggression against Ukraine, but also by those who until recently
[00:23:38] supported the special military operation. We will talk about the election results and
[00:23:42] what is really behind them in the studio with journalist Sergey
[00:23:45] Kovalchenko. Sergey, good evening, good, well, it seems that this
[00:23:49] time the regime.
[00:24:20] well, let's say, not as blatant as it
[00:24:22] turned out, and Vladimir Putin's own desire
[00:24:26] to make the result blatant, yes, because the whole
[00:24:30] campaign, I can say that I have been following these campaigns for
[00:24:33] over 20 years, the campaign this
[00:24:36] year was practically not waged, we remember stories when there were
[00:24:40] a lot of videos on the Internet, when at regional campaigns people did not come to
[00:24:43] debates, mainly Yabloko candidates came,
[00:24:47] single-mandate candidates and some strange people who... this is
[00:26:12] 11% more than it was in 2021, when the elections
[00:26:16] were more competitive, when there was at least
[00:26:19] some intrigue, because they voted there for
[00:26:22] communists in order to bring more of them, yes they
[00:26:26] somewhat flirted with Navalny for this, that is,
[00:26:29] there was such a thing and there was this smart voting for the CPRF. now
[00:26:33] the entire space was cleared, Yabloko was removed from the elections, as we
[00:26:36] know, quite quickly, realizing that, and by the way, not in vain
[00:26:40] realizing, because now we, here's the most interesting thing about this
[00:26:44] electoral event was how they voted for
[00:26:46] Yabloko, the only region that was left by
[00:26:50] oversight was the Novgorod region, where the list was allowed, because
[00:26:53] look, in Russia they vote - a mixed
[00:26:56] electoral system, 50% is elected by party lists of the
[00:26:59] State Duma, 50% by...
[00:27:02] single-mandate constituencies throughout the country, and the same applies to regional
[00:27:05] parliaments. In the Novgorod region, Yabloko never passed,
[00:27:09] it was there in Novgorod in the city Duma, but the whole
[00:27:13] region never, here it gets,
[00:27:16] so, even in St. Petersburg, according to falsified
[00:27:19] data, a candidate for the State Duma,
[00:27:22] who on one of the largest buildings
[00:27:26] in the city, the Leader Tower, which is 150 meters high, hung his
[00:27:30] advertisement for peace, it hung there for half an hour, but it
[00:27:33] had such an explosive effect, so, he actually
[00:27:37] won the elections over Milonov in honest precincts, he should have been in
[00:27:40] the State Duma, his result was redrawn, but redrawn by
[00:27:44] 14%, excuse me, that is,
[00:27:46] if you take the total vote for Yabloko members, there separately, yes, in
[00:27:50] Yakutia there was an active Yabloko member, he got almost 7%, that is, 20 thousand
[00:27:54] voters physically voted for him, in St. Petersburg
[00:27:58] for each Yabloko member about 40 to 50
[00:28:02] thousand people voted before the falsification, we
[00:28:05] saw this from the data of the PECs that came from rare
[00:28:08] observers, yes, but these data still came, we saw some final
[00:28:12] protocols that were completely rewritten cleanly,
[00:28:15] so if I finish my speech
[00:28:18] now, these are the first elections in which it is impossible
[00:28:22] to establish the true result of the people's will, we
[00:28:26] will never know how, well, we can roughly calculate how
[00:28:30] they voted, but we will not know for sure, that's just.
[00:29:32] in all regions, or rather, in all cities with a million population, young guys
[00:29:36] go to the administrations with a demand: let us hold a
[00:29:39] rally against the election results, because they are
[00:29:43] falsified, they understand that
[00:29:46] mobilization will greatly stir up
[00:29:49] society, many will hide,
[00:29:52] flee, that is, it will be just a game of catch-up, well,
[00:29:56] plus you understand what kind of thing, yes
[00:29:59] there are very long queues for gasoline in the country
[00:30:03] now. And the videos that
[00:30:07] we see, people, in general,
[00:30:09] say, many even quite carelessly say why this
[00:30:13] is happening, yes, but to give them automatic rifles, I
[00:30:16] think it's a bad idea, we will hope that everyone else also
[00:30:20] understands this, thank you very much Sergey, and we continue, the political landscape
[00:30:24] in Germany continues to change, in the elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the far-right Alternative for
[00:30:28] Germany took first place, and
[00:30:31] the party...
