[00:00:30] good too, this day will go down in history
[00:00:47] Estonia will take office, she begins her five-year presidential term
[00:00:51] with a high level of public
[00:00:52] support.
[00:00:57] The climate law has become a bone of contention in Riigikogu. The first reading
[00:01:00] took place in June, but since then the promotion of the law has been in
[00:01:04] question.
[00:01:23] in the second reading a bill that provides for new requirements for
[00:01:27] animal shelters.
[00:02:00] On the Postimees portal, the headline "Joller vs. Ginter" immediately
[00:02:04] catches the eye. She is lying. A public
[00:02:07] conflict has erupted between Minister of Social Affairs Karmen Joller and
[00:02:11] well-known lawyer Kari Ginter. This is all a continuation of
[00:02:14] the story of police and KaPo access to medical data of Estonian
[00:02:18] residents, when it turned out that hundreds of views were
[00:02:21] unfounded. Minister Joller claims that medical data
[00:02:25] is protected, and the actions of the Tehik information system
[00:02:28] comply with the law. Lawyer Ginter accuses the authorities of
[00:02:32] hushing up the problem, points to contradictions between two
[00:02:35] bills regulating access to medical
[00:02:38] information. The government proposes to tighten the rules so that
[00:02:42] without the patient's consent, access would be only with court
[00:02:45] permission. But Ginter fears that some provisions
[00:02:48] of the law will still allow circumvention of restrictions. Also
[00:02:52] on the Postimees portal you can read an interview with Minister of Defense Martin
[00:02:55] Herem. The headline features his thought that Estonia should
[00:02:59] think about it.
[00:03:02] After a visit to Ukraine, Herem said that Estonia needs to seriously
[00:03:06] review its air defense system, taking into account new
[00:03:09] Russian jet drones. They are
[00:03:12] significantly faster than ordinary drones, so existing
[00:03:15] interception means may prove insufficiently
[00:03:18] effective. According to Herem, because of this, the
[00:03:21] effectiveness of Ukrainian air defense against long-range drones has decreased
[00:03:25] from about 90 to 70%. All
[00:03:29] this experience of Ukraine, as the minister says, shows that the usual
[00:03:32] notions of air defense and a safe rear
[00:03:36] are already outdated. On the Delfi portal, an interview with the head
[00:03:39] of the Danish company Salling Group, which acquired a chain of Rimi stores.
[00:03:43] Anders says that there are too many
[00:03:46] grocery stores in Estonia. In his opinion, some retail chains will
[00:03:50] eventually be forced to leave the market. At the same time, Rimi
[00:03:53] itself intends to expand, including by acquiring competitors.
[00:03:57] Anderhaug acknowledges that their company considered
[00:04:01] acquiring Prisma stores, but declined due to the unsuitable format of large
[00:04:04] retail spaces. Haug also notes such an interesting feature
[00:04:08] of the Estonian market: customers are not satisfied with low prices, they
[00:04:11] also need a wide assortment. In Denmark and Poland,
[00:04:14] consumers are much more willing to choose discounters with a limited selection
[00:04:18] of goods. In addition, Estonians prefer local products, which
[00:04:22] complicates joint purchases for several countries.
[00:04:25] And in the opinions section on the Delfi portal, journalist Tiger Väärttma
[00:04:29] criticizes the double standards of alcohol policy and
[00:04:32] other addictive substances. The authorities are ready
[00:04:36] to limit the strength of nicotine pouches and even discuss their
[00:04:39] ban, but at the same time strong alcohol is freely sold in stores
[00:04:43] and is considered part of holiday traditions. He provides
[00:04:47] statistics: last year, 643 people died from diseases directly
[00:04:50] caused by alcohol.
[00:04:53] The total economic damage from alcohol consumption exceeds
[00:04:56] half a billion per year, while excise duty revenues from alcohol.
[00:05:14] Good morning, the news is on air. Today Madise will take
[00:05:17] office as President of Estonia. First, the elected
[00:05:20] president and her husband will arrive in Kadriorg, where they will be met by
[00:05:24] President Alar Karis and Sirja Karis. Then they will
[00:05:27] together proceed to the square in front of the parliament building. President Alar
[00:05:31] Karis will greet the honor guard, after which both presidents
[00:05:35] will proceed to Toompea Castle. At 3:00 PM, Alar Karis
[00:05:38] will make a welcoming speech, then
[00:05:41] the president will take the presidential oath and make her first address
[00:05:45] as head of state, the ceremony will be broadcast, including
[00:05:48] by ETV.
[00:05:50] In the third quarter of this year, the number of registered unemployed in Estonia
[00:05:54] decreased to 38,000, according to
[00:05:57] the unemployment insurance fund, such a low number of unemployed was last
[00:06:01] seen in early 2020. At the same time,
[00:06:04] the number of vacancies increased by more than a quarter over the year and amounted to
[00:06:07] 5,250. The largest number of new offers
[00:06:11] appeared in manufacturing, trade and
[00:06:14] construction. Competition for jobs also decreased.
[00:06:17] If last year there were an average of 11 registered
[00:06:20] unemployed for one vacancy, then this
[00:06:24] year there were seven. The board of the Unemployment Insurance Fund noted that
[00:06:27] the possibility of finding a job still depends on a person's skills and the field in
[00:06:31] which they are looking for a job.
[00:06:34] Police again detained 10 Sudanese citizens in the capital's
[00:06:38] Nõmme district who were illegally in Estonia. Around 1:38
[00:06:41] PM, police received a report of two men on Valdaku Street. On the spot,
[00:06:45] it turned out that they were in Estonia illegally, and other illegal immigrants
[00:06:49] were hiding nearby. Law enforcement began searches, including with the help
[00:06:53] of service dogs and drones. Eight more men
[00:06:57] who tried to escape were found in the nearby forest.
[00:07:00] One of them injured his arm while fleeing and was taken to
[00:07:04] the hospital. After providing first aid, he was also transferred to
[00:07:07] the detention center. All ten men lacked legal
[00:07:11] grounds for...
[00:07:36] developed and improved a lot and also
[00:07:39] made it more massive, so that...
[00:07:42] "on many days they attack already more than before
[00:07:46] their territory and unlike the Russian
[00:07:49] Federation, which often bombs cities
[00:07:53] and then the Ukrainians still continue to maintain that line
[00:07:56] that primarily military targets such as various
[00:08:00] air bases, command posts, but
[00:08:02] they have this other bigger idea always behind
[00:08:06] attacking defense industry enterprises and also those from which
[00:08:09] the Russian Federation earns money, so to speak.
[00:08:42] understand that some of this politics is
[00:08:46] instigated via our enemies,
[00:08:49] namely Russia, I think we've been too much on the back foot on that, and
[00:08:53] we haven't informed people sufficiently about the extent to
[00:08:57] which people are are seeking to um to disrupt the political
[00:09:00] process from overseas.
[00:09:12] coast, gusts up to 18 m/s, air temperature
[00:09:15] from 8 to
[00:09:34] Today at noon, Julia Madeza will officially take office as President
[00:09:38] of Estonia. In September, Riigikogu elected her already in the first round, and
[00:09:42] a poll conducted after the elections showed that almost 2/3 of the country's
[00:09:45] residents support the parliament's decision. Our guest is the editor-in-chief of the
[00:09:48] Russian-language edition of Postimees, Sergey Metlev, with whom we will discuss this topic. Good
[00:09:52] morning. Good morning. Good morning. Well, as we have already said several times,
[00:09:56] Julia Madisa's support among the country's residents is quite high.
[00:10:00] What do you think this is related to? Well, first of all,
[00:10:03] it's because Julia, objectively, has never,
[00:10:06] to put it simply, infuriated anyone, right? That is, she
[00:10:09] is actually quite a neutral figure who,
[00:10:13] for the last 11 years, has essentially been protecting
[00:10:16] the weak, because as Chancellor of Justice, her primary
[00:10:20] task was to respond to all kinds of complaints
[00:10:24] that come to the chancellery regarding possible violations of citizens'
[00:10:27] fundamental rights. She also participated in
[00:10:31] the process of identifying inconsistencies with the constitution in our
[00:10:34] legislation, which is popular, yes, it is
[00:10:38] a popular job. Thus, Julia Marlissa, it seems to me,
[00:10:41] gained an aura, firstly, of a protector of ordinary people,
[00:10:44] yes, objectively, that was her job. On the other hand, there were no scandals.
[00:10:48] On the other hand, again, if you look at
[00:10:52] the support for Ilyamadis among supporters...
[00:11:04] support Madise, but if we take centrists and Ekre, then these indicators
[00:11:08] are within 30-something percent only, why
[00:11:11] is that? It's very interesting that it's strongly
[00:11:14] related to what the parties said about Julia Madis in
[00:11:18] the process of her election as president, those parties that stood
[00:11:22] against her candidacy, criticizing her personality.
[00:12:56] whom she calls one of maybe the strongest managers in this
[00:13:00] country, a very interesting choice, in my opinion, was Vladimir Svet as
[00:13:04] an advisor on foreign policy,
[00:13:07] sorry, on domestic policy. What is an advisor on domestic policy? Well,
[00:13:10] in essence, it's a person who acts as a liaison between the president and all
[00:13:14] parties, important organizations, various centers of attraction within
[00:13:18] the country, and this is a very important position. So here we see that, in
[00:13:21] principle, Vladimir Svet has the competence
[00:13:25] and certain, so to speak, prerequisites for this, yes, but for a long time there hasn't been
[00:13:29] a person with a Russian name in such a high position
[00:13:33] in the presidential chancellery, let's be honest, yes, this is a signal to society in any case, because the president doesn't just
[00:13:37] do anything, this also includes symbolism, so here, in
[00:13:39] some sense, it's clear that Ullli Madis does not believe that the Russian-speaking
[00:13:43] theme, which exists within Estonia and sometimes intensifies,
[00:13:47] is something secondary for her, she will deal with it, or,
[00:13:50] for example, her advisor for
[00:13:53] a specially hired advisor for the organization
[00:13:55] of the work of the Defense Council, the State Defense Council, which
[00:13:59] exists under the President, this council is actually a body
[00:14:03] about which almost no one knows anything, they rarely
[00:14:06] convene it, sometimes if something extraordinary happens, and here
[00:14:10] Julia Malisa specifically said that she appointed the former
[00:14:13] Secretary of State Peterkopp to this position,
[00:14:16] which means that she is not going to fall into the same
[00:14:19] trap in which the previous president, who complained,
[00:14:23] objectively found himself.
[00:16:54] Estonia, who can indeed call the leaders
[00:16:57] of the US, India, France or Japan and talk
[00:17:01] just like we are, indeed, this is very important, and not every head of the Estonian
[00:17:04] state had such an opportunity. Well, as for
[00:17:08] her preliminary important topics that
[00:17:12] she voiced, for example, she doesn't like that we have excessive
[00:17:15] regulation and bureaucracy in the country, but at the same time the president has a representative
[00:17:19] function, she cannot directly influence domestic policy,
[00:17:23] how will she promote her ideas? Well, first of all, I think
[00:17:27] that here we need to remember what presidential
[00:17:31] authority is in general, it is when different people
[00:17:35] holding perhaps different positions...
[00:18:07] this person or we don't want to, and this is her
[00:18:10] main weapon, because objectively, there are indeed not many
[00:18:14] constitutional powers that allow the president to somewhat
[00:18:25] a live broadcast of the inauguration of the new president
[00:18:29] William will begin. It will be commented by ETV+ journalists Artur Tyulenev
[00:18:32] and Boris
[00:18:33] Timofeev.
[00:19:59] in Riigikogu. The first reading took place in June, but since then the Reform Party,
[00:20:03] the ST200 party, which were behind this document, lost their parliamentary
[00:20:06] majority.
[00:26:32] the bill? Well, we had long agreed on
[00:26:36] reforms, and now the ball is
[00:26:39] in their court. Now we have even made some
[00:26:43] compromise in the sense that these
[00:26:47] goals would be in the law, but
[00:26:50] there is a mechanism in the law how these can be changed,
[00:26:53] but so far the reforms do not agree with this, and if we do not
[00:26:57] have this law, then what happens? Well, nothing, we just
[00:27:01] live as we lived?
