[00:00:00] because indeed the balcony is joint property, so the aesthetic
[00:00:04] appearance is to a certain extent important, yes, but
[00:00:07] here, relatively speaking, a decision of the general
[00:00:10] meeting is also needed, that is, the charter needs to be reviewed, that is, a person should
[00:00:14] ask permission from the apartment
[00:00:17] association and the residents should give their
[00:00:20] consent, yes, in certain cases indeed sometimes all residents
[00:00:23] must give their consent in certain cases, that is, just, just relatively
[00:00:27] speaking, the majority that voted, but...
[00:04:34] The day after tomorrow, the Riga Cog will consider in the second reading a bill
[00:04:38] providing for new requirements for animal
[00:04:41] shelters. In particular, it concerns mandatory
[00:04:44] activity permits and new rules for keeping
[00:04:47] animals. Well, we keep this animal. The authors of the changes
[00:04:51] hope to improve conditions in shelters, but some organizations
[00:04:54] fear that they will not be able to meet the new
[00:04:58] requirements. We have in our studio.
[00:05:13] what worries us is that they want to introduce conditions that cats
[00:05:17] must be kept in groups of six, one litter box for each
[00:05:20] adult cat, and if we explain this
[00:05:24] visually, we take six cats,
[00:05:27] put them on nine square meters, put six
[00:05:30] litter boxes, we won't be able to put houses, a running
[00:05:34] wheel, they will just sit there like in
[00:05:37] litter boxes, well, you could say that, yes, enclosed, tell us how life in the shelter
[00:05:40] is organized for you now? now life in the shelter is such that
[00:05:44] it is close to home, that is, there are
[00:05:47] sofas, there are beds, they can walk on
[00:05:51] window sills, they can jump on cabinets, there are houses everywhere,
[00:05:55] that is, when a cat gets home, he
[00:05:58] knows where to hide, where he can
[00:06:01] walk, and how he can generally
[00:06:05] exist in the wild, that is, in a large
[00:06:07] room, well, it looks like a good intention, yes, that
[00:06:11] cats and... their own litter boxes,
[00:06:14] that they can only be kept six in a
[00:06:17] group, to provide them with a good
[00:06:20] life, why do you disagree with this, that is,
[00:06:24] precisely because there will not be enough space to put
[00:06:28] both litter boxes and other
[00:06:30] accessories, that too, yes, but still cats
[00:06:33] are made to be in a colony, we, if
[00:06:37] we look at the trend, our cats they can lie in a pile of about 10
[00:06:41] pieces.
[00:07:20] cats, but that's better than they propose to keep animals in
[00:07:24] cages, you can keep them six
[00:07:28] or in cages, but life in cages is not life at all,
[00:07:31] they still need to move and
[00:07:34] walk, and if we have to do it,
[00:07:38] although we really don't want to, then we are very afraid that cats
[00:07:42] may...
[00:08:42] close down, because they may not meet the new requirements, what will happen to
[00:08:46] these animals, release them into the wild to breed homeless cats or euthanize
[00:08:50] them, what to do? Well, most likely yes, they will
[00:08:53] then multiply there, that
[00:08:55] colonies will grow, and if they call,
[00:08:59] other shelters will come, of course, who will have such
[00:09:02] an opportunity to keep animals, but they also have their own rules, 14
[00:09:06] days euthanasia, because we all know that
[00:09:10] most cats are unhealthy from the street,
[00:09:13] all this requires large resources, a lot
[00:09:17] of time, that is, if many cats arrive at once, then
[00:09:20] where will they put them all, now it is scattered among
[00:09:24] all non-profit organizations and
[00:09:27] we manage, yes, that is, for one shelter it will be
[00:09:31] too much, they simply won't cope, and do we
[00:09:35] have many homeless cats at all, because if we walk around the city,
[00:09:38] we very rarely see
[00:09:41] homeless cats now, unlike other countries where we
[00:09:45] come and see that there are indeed many of them, absolutely
[00:09:48] so, but unfortunately, if we go outside the
[00:09:51] city, there are people who
[00:09:55] take them, for example, to the dacha for the summer,
[00:09:58] for some reason, cats don't need to walk at all, they just sniffed the
[00:10:01] air through the window and that's enough for them, they
[00:10:05] unfortunately leave them there, many are not neutered, not
[00:10:09] sterilized, and if several of them are brought
[00:10:12] there, a colony starts to appear,
[00:10:16] the colony grows and grows, and
[00:10:19] it can all end very badly, well, the bill,
[00:10:22] if it is adopted, will become law,
[00:10:26] it also provides for a transitional period until January 1, 2028,
[00:10:29] to bring everything into compliance with the requirements, is this realistic? No,
[00:10:33] firstly, it will be too
[00:10:37] short a period, that non-profit
[00:10:40] organizations do not have the financial capacity,
[00:10:44] all this costs
[00:10:45] money.
[00:10:48] I don't know, there is another point about
[00:10:51] the veterinary point, yes, that we should always have
[00:10:55] a veterinarian on site, but unfortunately,
[00:10:57] for donations, for the fact that the shelter
[00:11:00] exists at all, volunteers do not receive a penny,
[00:11:04] the founder receives nothing, that is, all these funds go
[00:11:07] only to cats,
[00:11:10] and to maintain a veterinarian on
[00:11:13] site is simply impossible, well, or
[00:11:16] a volunteer veterinarian, it turns out, well, we
[00:11:19] have clinics we work with and it's
[00:11:22] 7-10 minutes drive from us. We see that the cat needs
[00:11:26] some help or a new examination, they accept us
[00:11:29] immediately, that is, having a veterinarian on staff is very
[00:11:32] expensive, we buy this service, and they also want
[00:11:36] a separate room for visitors, so that
[00:11:40] we take the cat to this room for знакомство, but
[00:11:43] this is stress for them, they sit in their room, yes, they know,
[00:11:47] people come in there, they see what kind of cat he is, and
[00:11:51] if we move the cat to the next room, he will be stressed and it's
[00:11:55] unclear, he will just hide in a corner and the owner will not understand,
[00:11:58] is he wild, is he afraid, or is he actually a loving, very
[00:12:02] affectionate cat, he was just driven into a small closet
[00:12:06] to show him off like in a zoo,
[00:12:09] what are your current conditions, how many litter boxes do you have,
[00:12:13] how did you organize the life
[00:12:16] of these wonderful cats, well, if we take one room, we have
[00:12:20] 23 cats there at the moment, we have 11
[00:12:23] litter boxes, I note. Clean, because
[00:12:29] we clean in the morning and in the evening,
[00:12:33] cats don't need that many litter boxes, that is, the main thing is not many litter boxes, but regular
[00:12:37] cleaning, yes, and it's better if they come and check
[00:12:40] the conditions, Albus is already nervous,
[00:12:43] he feels that it's time to leave,
[00:12:46] our interview ends here, thank you, our guests
[00:12:49] today were the founder of the Caselou shelter, Alyona Meer, and the volunteer
[00:12:53] of this shelter, Kristina Pritsa.
[00:13:36] president in Estonia, negotiations on minimum wage. In Belgium,
[00:13:40] tens of thousands of people demonstrated against
[00:13:43] the climate policy of the European Union. The participants of the action demand to
[00:13:47] tighten it. There will be other news. And
[00:13:51] scientists had to create a new family of corals for
[00:13:55] one species that could not be assigned to any known
[00:13:58] group. A bright yellow eight-rayed coral was discovered on
[00:14:02] underwater mountains off the coast of Costa Rica. Its colonies
[00:14:05] resemble small trees and grow more than
[00:14:08] a meter. The problem with classification was discovered at
[00:14:11] the genetic level. Analysis of three standard markers gave
[00:14:15] contradictory results. Each of them indicated belonging to
[00:14:19] different families. Then researchers applied
[00:14:21] phylogenomic analysis, comparing hundreds of genes. It
[00:14:25] showed that the coral forms an independent evolutionary
[00:14:28] line. As a result, researchers from the University
[00:14:31] of Costa Rica, the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian
[00:14:35] Institute and other organizations, described
[00:14:38] a new genus and a new family, the discovered species received
[00:14:41] a name from two words in Quenya, a fictional
[00:14:44] elven language created by John Tolkien. Literally, this name
[00:14:48] means starry golden
[00:14:50] tree.
[00:14:55] A team of scientists deciphered the genome of the oldest land
[00:14:58] animal on the planet, the giant tortoise Jonathan, whose age
[00:15:02] is estimated at 194 years.
[00:15:05] Jonathan belongs to the Aldabra giant tortoise
[00:15:09] species and lives on St. Helena. In nature, the average
[00:15:12] lifespan of this species is about 80
[00:15:15] years. According to the results of the study, the lifespan
[00:15:18] of this reptile is due to a set of specific gene
[00:15:22] variants, maintaining stable regulation of
[00:15:25] mitochondrial function, characteristic of young individuals. To collect
[00:15:28] biomaterial, the veterinarian collected epithelial cells from the mucous
[00:15:32] membrane of the tortoise's mouth during feeding.
[00:15:35] DNA sequencing revealed
[00:15:38] 287 individual gene variants
[00:15:41] absent in relatives. Analysis showed that they
[00:15:44] are involved in key mechanisms of anti-
[00:15:47] aging: repair of DNA damage, suppression of
[00:15:51] tumors, regulation of insulin metabolism, and
[00:15:54] control of inflammatory processes.
[00:16:09] Good morning, news is on air. Today, the President
[00:16:13] of Estonia will take office. First, the elected president, together with her
[00:16:16] spouse, will arrive at Kadriorg, where they will be met by President
[00:16:20] Alar Karis and Sirja Karis. Then they will together
[00:16:23] proceed to the square in front of the parliament building.
[00:16:26] President Alar Karis will greet the honor guard, after which both
[00:16:30] presidents will proceed to Toompea Castle. At 3:00 PM, Alar
[00:16:33] Karis will deliver a speech.
[00:16:45] Central unions of trade unions and employers will start negotiations
[00:16:49] today on the size of the minimum wage for 2027, according to
[00:16:52] the head of the central union of trade unions, Kask.
[00:16:55] Trade unions will advocate in negotiations for the work
[00:16:59] of a full-time employee to be adequately paid. In 2023,
[00:17:03] an agreement was reached between trade unions and employers,
[00:17:06] according to which the minimum wage should gradually reach
[00:17:10] 50% of the average gross wage in Estonia.
[00:17:13] According to data for the second quarter of 2026, the average
[00:17:16] gross wage in Estonia was 2,243
[00:17:19] euros per month, the minimum wage since April 2026
[00:17:22] is 946 euros or about 42% of the average
[00:17:26] wage, notes Rusere.
[00:17:29] In the third quarter of this year, the number
[00:17:32] of registered unemployed in Estonia decreased to 38 thousand.
[00:17:35] According to the Unemployment Insurance Fund, such
[00:17:37] a low number of unemployed was last seen at the beginning of 2020.
[00:17:41] At the same time, the number of vacancies increased by more than
[00:17:45] a quarter over the year and amounted to 5,250.
[00:17:48] Most new offers appeared in manufacturing,
[00:17:51] trade and construction. Competition for
[00:17:54] jobs also decreased. If last year there were an average of 11
[00:17:57] registered unemployed per vacancy, this year there were
[00:18:01] seven. The board of the Unemployment Insurance Fund noted that the ability
[00:18:04] to find a job still depends on a person's skills and the field in
[00:18:08] which they are looking for work.
[00:18:11] The police again detained illegal migrants in the Tallinn district of
[00:18:15] Nõmme. Around half past six in the evening,
[00:18:18] the police received a report about two men on Valdeku
[00:18:22] Street. On site, it turned out that they were in Estonia
[00:18:25] illegally, and other illegals were hiding nearby. Law enforcement
[00:18:29] officers began searching with the help of police dogs and drones. Eight
[00:18:33] more men were found in the nearby forest, who tried to hide.
[00:18:37] One of them injured his arm while fleeing and was taken to the hospital.
[00:18:40] After receiving first aid, he was also transferred to the detention center. All ten
[00:18:44] men lacked legal grounds for staying in Estonia.
[00:18:48] Only one had an identity document.
[00:18:51] As a result of the latest Russian air
[00:18:55] strikes on Ukrainian cities, six civilians died. A grocery store
[00:18:58] was attacked in Kharkiv, three people died. Another 20
[00:19:02] were injured. Among the injured were two children.
[00:19:05] In addition, a thermal power plant was attacked. The strikes occurred
[00:19:08] against the backdrop of statements by US President Donald Trump about
[00:19:12] an energy truce between Russia and
[00:19:14] Ukraine.
[00:19:16] Iran released a video allegedly showing the destruction of a
[00:19:20] large oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iran,
[00:19:24] it is a supertanker 313 meters long, which
[00:19:27] can carry 2.5 million barrels of oil.
[00:19:31] According to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the tanker was
[00:19:34] destroyed by a sea mine after it attempted to pass through the Strait of
[00:19:38] Hormuz without Iran's permission and with its navigation system
[00:19:42] switched off. Iran again threatened to destroy all
[00:19:45] tankers that attempt to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in
[00:19:49] the same way. Tens of thousands of people demonstrated
[00:19:53] in Brussels against the European Union's
[00:19:56] climate policy. According to police estimates, 45,000 people took
[00:19:59] part in the action. Organizers speak of 60,000.
[00:20:03] Participants of the action put forward five demands, including raising taxes
[00:20:06] for fuel companies and ending subsidies for fossil
[00:20:10] fuels. They also demanded a just transition
[00:20:13] to an ecologically sustainable society and more
[00:20:16] active international cooperation in the fight against
[00:20:19] climate change.
[00:20:23] tax kerosene, put more trees in the cities, stop
[00:20:27] concreting everywhere, finally there are many measures, insulate buildings
[00:20:31] more, reduce CO2 consumption
[00:20:34] especially with transport, so also invest.
[00:20:41] At the end of the broadcast, the weather forecast: it will be cloudy during the day, it will rain, in the morning
[00:20:45] thunderstorms are possible in places, the wind is variable 1-7 m/s on the northern coast,
[00:20:49] gusts up to... 17 m/s. Air temperature from 8 to
[00:20:52] 13° Celsius. Such
[00:20:55] is the news at this minute. Thank you for your attention, have a good day.
