[00:00:20] good morning, it is now 3:30, time for the news, I invite
[00:00:24] you to watch,
[00:00:27] today the first Prime Minister of restored independent Lithuania,
[00:00:30] Kazimira Danutė Prunskienė, is being laid to rest. From
[00:00:33] 9 to 13:00, the public can
[00:00:37] say goodbye to the deceased in Vilnius St. Johns' Church.
[00:00:41] The funeral procession will move towards Santakalnis cemetery.
[00:00:44] The politician will be buried in the hill of signatories.
[00:00:47] Farewell speeches will be given, a minute of silence will be observed,
[00:00:50] and the state flag will be handed over to the relatives.
[00:00:54] LRT will broadcast a special program. At 9 o'clock, the
[00:00:57] broadcast from St. Johns' Church will begin.
[00:01:00] At 12:50 minutes, a special program
[00:01:03] and the broadcast of the funeral ceremony. Kazimira
[00:01:06] Danutė Prunskienė passed away last week, at the age of
[00:01:09] 84.
[00:01:16] Germany stated that only professionals could have carried out
[00:01:19] the drone attack at Leipzig Airport and that this is an unprecedented
[00:01:22] level of threat. The Interior Minister, interrupting
[00:01:25] his vacation, urgently met with security service chiefs at
[00:01:29] the airport, where an employee shot down a low-flying
[00:01:32] drone with explosives near four Ukrainian transport
[00:01:36] planes yesterday, and another drone hit a DHL plane
[00:01:39] in the air. According to the media, the explosives
[00:01:43] turned out to be plastic, unavailable to ordinary
[00:01:45] criminals. The airport is used not only by Ukraine, but also
[00:01:49] by German and NATO forces. It has drone protection, but
[00:01:53] the minister says the drone was manufactured so
[00:01:56] professionally that it evaded it. Suspects.
[00:02:00] He did not name them, but it is a professional hybrid
[00:02:03] threat. The year before last, a device sent by a Lithuanian citizen
[00:02:07] exploded at the airport, just before it was loaded onto a DHL
[00:02:10] plane. Last year, a Chinese citizen who spied on
[00:02:14] the airport was convicted. Mysterious drone flights were carried out
[00:02:17] over many German airports. The police linked them to
[00:02:21] Russia.
[00:02:26] This new scenario we are facing is from hybrid
[00:02:29] threats. "We have been dealing with this for a long time,
[00:02:32] now hybrid threats are not only at the German, but also at the European
[00:02:35] level on the political agenda, but I can certainly
[00:02:39] understand the notion that these threats are not the work
[00:02:42] of amateurs, but rather require very professional preparation
[00:02:46] and execution, high-level technical knowledge and
[00:02:50] experience in handling explosives, nothing
[00:02:53] like amateur methods, we are talking about a scenario
[00:02:56] of professional hybrid threats that we have."
[00:03:03] Free vision checks in libraries, elders'
[00:03:07] offices, or nursing homes may sound tempting,
[00:03:10] but optometrists warn that such services
[00:03:13] are illegal, because vision can only be checked
[00:03:17] in licensed locations. Specialists question
[00:03:20] not only the qualifications of employees providing
[00:03:23] such services, but also the consequences. Due to improperly
[00:03:26] performed checks, eye diseases can be detected
[00:03:30] too late.
[00:03:32] In Traksėdžiai village, Šilutė district, residents are offered free
[00:03:36] vision checks in community premises. A Facebook
[00:03:40] advertisement promises to check eye pressure or existing
[00:03:43] glasses. Another advertisement promises free services
[00:03:47] to the Barnienai village community in Lazdijai district.
[00:03:51] Residents are also offered shopping after their visit.
[00:03:54] True, not all services are free here. For example, checking
[00:03:58] eye pressure will cost 10 €. The offers look tempting,
[00:04:02] but both are illegal. Lithuanian legal acts are quite strictly
[00:04:05] regulated and, well, personal health care can only be provided
[00:04:09] in a licensed institution by a licensed specialist,
[00:04:13] requirements are also set for premises, so the National
[00:04:16] Public Health Center issues permits and hygiene passports.
[00:04:20] However, this does not stop illegal service providers,
[00:04:23] they call various institutions looking for premises where they
[00:04:26] can provide services. Steady chin, don't blink.
[00:04:30] Starting with markets, as I mentioned, children's kindergartens,
[00:04:33] universities, public
[00:04:35] rain heavily in institutions, nursing homes,
[00:04:38] libraries, well, certainly wherever it's possible to put
[00:04:42] a chair and a table, I imagine they rush
[00:04:45] there. There was one case where, well,
[00:04:49] there was a person who had no health-related education
[00:04:52] at all. I have the number of one such company, so
[00:04:56] I will do an experiment, call them and ask about their activities.
[00:05:01] After a few seconds of waiting, a woman answers.
[00:05:05] Ordering a service turns out to be extremely easy.
[00:05:08] The supposed specialists can arrive at the community premises
[00:05:12] "I wanted to ask if I would have to pay for any
[00:05:16] services or if everything is free? Completely
[00:05:19] free, yes, eye pressure free,
[00:05:22] consultations for possible eye diseases, then
[00:05:26] they check your existing glasses and whether they
[00:05:29] are still suitable for wearing for short-sightedness, for long-sightedness,
[00:05:33] and everything is legal, what happens
[00:05:36] two, so yes, they are optics, here is also
[00:05:39] like in an optics salon, but
[00:05:42] there will be no problems in the community center,
[00:05:46] no, we go, no, you know we go to more than one
[00:05:48] community, in all cities that want
[00:05:52] a little, but look, the specialists
[00:05:55] say, the price of such checks can be an unnoticed
[00:05:58] disease. How many figures do you see on the screen now,
[00:06:02] four, and it encourages not to be fooled, free
[00:06:06] services are not offered out of good will, the goal
[00:06:10] is only to sell a product that also raises many doubts
[00:06:13] about quality. "And the patient later has no guarantees to complain,
[00:06:17] then professionals cannot help either, they do not
[00:06:21] document these services, do not enter them into health records,
[00:06:25] which official institutions and legally operating optometrists do.
[00:06:28] Illegal activities do not deter residents. I have heard in both
[00:06:31] one and the other municipality that the elders say no,
[00:06:34] but communities or cultural centers, libraries
[00:06:37] agree and allow them to use the premises.
[00:06:41] Institutions encourage reporting suspicious activities
[00:06:44] to the accreditation service for healthcare activities,
[00:06:48] illegal activities are subject to administrative liability, a fine of 600
[00:06:51] €.
[00:06:54] Now for sports news and weather information, stay
[00:06:57] with us.
[00:11:33] in Nice on Sunday. Today it will be partly cloudy,
[00:11:36] short showers are expected in many places, heavy in
[00:11:39] a larger part of the country, mostly in southern Lithuania,
[00:11:43] thunderstorms, squalls and hail are possible in some
[00:11:46] places, wind south-west, west
[00:11:49] 50 m/s,
[00:11:51] temperature will reach 27-32 degrees
[00:11:55] in the western part of the country. 23-26 degrees.
[00:11:58] Short showers, thunderstorms are expected in Vilnius,
[00:12:01] squalls are possible, it will be about 30 degrees Celsius.
[00:12:21] Vilnius rooftops in summer become a place not only for
[00:12:25] relaxation or events. On one of them, people gather
[00:12:28] to learn how to sew and create their first clothes and find
[00:12:32] like-minded people. About an unusual sewing lesson
[00:12:35] in the capital in Simona
[00:12:38] Vaveriūnaitė's report: picturesque Vilnius panorama,
[00:12:41] summer wind and dozens of buzzing sewing
[00:12:45] machines. Such lessons this summer take place not in a studio,
[00:12:48] but outdoors. They are organized by sewing teacher Miglė Dijokaitė.
[00:12:52] She has been sewing for 17 years. At first it was a hobby
[00:12:56] her mother taught her, now it has become a job that has brought
[00:13:00] together dozens of people into a community. I started giving
[00:13:03] those lessons and realized that I really, really like
[00:13:07] doing it. I was very much driven by the desire to create
[00:13:10] a community of sewing people, because I didn't
[00:13:13] really have such like-minded people, I would say. In less
[00:13:17] than a year, a whole sewing movement grew out of a few
[00:13:20] lessons. People gather not only to learn, but also to meet
[00:13:24] those who share the same hobby. When summer came, Miglė
[00:13:27] decided that sewing machines could also go beyond
[00:13:31] the studio walls. I really, really wanted
[00:13:34] to take advantage of our rarely good
[00:13:37] weather, and I realized that
[00:13:40] it would be much more fun to meet and sew outdoors
[00:13:44] than in our studio, so we'll return to the studio in autumn.
[00:13:47] One of the most memorable events took place on a boat
[00:13:51] sailing on the Neris. There, participants not only learned
[00:13:55] to operate a sewing machine, but also admired the Vilnius
[00:13:58] panorama. Although many find sewing complicated and requiring
[00:14:02] a lot of patience, the studio founder assures that the
[00:14:06] lessons are suitable even for beginners. The basis of our
[00:14:09] lessons is that we create everything so that it is
[00:14:12] very easily accessible to beginners, to those who perhaps have
[00:14:16] never touched a sewing machine in their life, perhaps they
[00:14:19] only have a grandmother who sews, but they themselves have not
[00:14:23] learned anything. The lessons
[00:14:25] are always themed, sometimes clothes are sewn, sometimes
[00:14:29] accessories. Participants just need to come.
[00:14:32] All materials are provided by the studio. After a few
[00:14:35] hours of work, most go home already holding their first
[00:14:39] sewn item in their hands. According to the sewing teacher,
[00:14:42] it is precisely the opportunity to create something yourself
[00:14:46] that is most appealing. Although some people come to the first
[00:14:50] lesson full of doubts, the teacher notices an interesting
[00:14:53] trend. Most often, even those people who are most
[00:14:57] convinced that they won't succeed, that they won't be able to do
[00:15:01] it, that they don't know anything, that they are not meticulous,
[00:15:05] that they don't like handicrafts, they do very well. One
[00:15:08] of the regular participants in the lessons confirms this.
[00:15:12] This time she brought a friend, but she herself has been
[00:15:15] learning to sew for some time. I decided to bring
[00:15:19] a friend to learn how to sew, because it's not the first
[00:15:22] time I've been here, I found Miglė and decided to learn
[00:15:26] to sew myself, because my grandmother was a seamstress
[00:15:29] and since she died, I didn't get to find that
[00:15:32] sewing connection with her, so her machine was left
[00:15:36] and I thought I should bring it back to life,
[00:15:39] so I came to learn to sew and now I practice at home.
[00:15:43] After the first sessions, the sewing machine starts
[00:15:45] working in her home too. Over the year, an active
[00:15:49] community has formed. Participants communicate not only during
[00:15:53] lessons, but also after them, sharing tips and meeting
[00:15:56] up. For the community members themselves, not only the
[00:15:59] acquired knowledge is important, that you are among those
[00:16:03] who create and it's simply fun to find someone who is
[00:16:07] interested in the same topic, because you don't always
[00:16:11] find someone in your circle of friends who is interested
[00:16:14] in sewing and you can talk
[00:16:24] to them about it, so here it's a place where everyone
[00:16:27] is interested in the same topic and we find common
[00:16:31] ground. It seems that today sewing for many people is
[00:16:35] not just a way to make clothes or accessories.
[00:16:39] It is also an opportunity to get away from screens,
[00:16:43] create with your own hands and meet like-minded
[00:16:45] people, and summer is
[00:16:47] perfect for this, as are
[00:16:57] unusual places. I cut bread, so the show will
[00:17:00] start with a scandal, do I know my Lauryte? In
[00:17:03] terms of her body, yes, I know her well, but
[00:17:07] I won't wear a wedding ring, what to do if you
[00:17:10] want to eat deliciously, when you have so many good
[00:17:14] character traits to choose from. Now choose the best
[00:17:17] one, I say, this is a very recent thing, how can I
[00:17:21] know what is very recent, to justify myself,

[00:20:35] and frightening internet phenomena is Creepypasta.
[00:20:39] Generally, why do people watch horror movies,
[00:20:42] read all sorts of horror books, because
[00:20:46] they are personalities, and they see some shocking fact and
[00:20:50] without delving too much into it, they just,
[00:20:54] well, make that spontaneous, quick decision. This
[00:20:57] Saturday at 8 pm in the show
[00:21:00] "Conspiracy". "By what, but
[00:21:03] with its changing weather, this summer
[00:21:07] certainly manages to surprise us. How
[00:21:10] will the coming week look, we will discuss
[00:21:14] with meteorologist Ineta Daunaravičiūtė very
[00:21:18] soon. Good morning, Ineta, good morning,
[00:21:21] we have closed July, started August,
[00:21:24] it seems that we are still going
[00:21:28] on those American roller coasters,
[00:21:31] what was July like, if we had to summarize?
[00:21:35] Yes, we can briefly review July, this
[00:21:39] July was cooler, about 8
[00:21:42] degrees cooler than the
[00:21:46] long-term average, of course, we had
[00:21:50] quite a few rainy days, so the duration
[00:21:53] of sunshine was also up to a quarter
[00:21:57] less, and this July was really
[00:22:00] rainy, huge amounts of rain fell,
[00:22:04] the smallest amounts of rain fell in
[00:22:08] the north-eastern regions and the
[00:22:11] coast, and most of the rain throughout
[00:22:15] July fell in the western and southern
[00:22:19] regions of the country, so we
[00:22:22] ended July with changeable weather
[00:22:25] and started August also with weather
[00:22:29] changes, so on the first day of
[00:22:33] August, heavy rain fell in
[00:22:36] some places in western Lithuania,
[00:22:40] and the most restless evening
[00:22:44] was Saturday, when short showers
[00:22:48] with thunderstorms began to form in
[00:22:51] the southern regions of the country and
[00:22:55] they reached Vilnius and the Vilnius
[00:22:59] region in the evening, so short showers
[00:23:02] accompanied by thunderstorms formed here, heavy
[00:23:05] rain fell in a very short
[00:23:09] time, and of course, most damage was
[00:23:12] caused by strong squally wind
[00:23:16] gusts, so a localized severe
[00:23:18] meteorological phenomenon, a strong storm,
[00:23:22] was recorded, and of course, since
[00:23:25] it also reached a very urbanized
[00:23:28] area, it caused quite a lot of damage.
[00:23:32] And this week is again accompanied
[00:23:35] by weather changes, a very warm air
[00:23:39] mass moved into Lithuania these
[00:23:43] days, so first of all we can look at the thermal
[00:23:46] field map in Europe, so here
[00:23:50] is Lithuania and a very hot air
[00:23:53] mass has already approached Central
[00:23:56] Europe from southern Europe, so these
[00:24:00] days in Austria the temperature
[00:24:03] even reached 40 degrees, temperature
[00:24:07] records were recorded, and this
[00:24:11] heat moved further towards us, so
[00:24:14] yesterday we had the hottest day
[00:24:17] and today will still definitely
[00:24:21] bring warmer weather and our even
[00:24:24] hotter day, and tomorrow this
[00:24:28] heat will move further east and
[00:24:31] from Scandinavia from the west,
[00:24:34] cooler air is gradually arriving,
[00:24:38] so we will be able to breathe
[00:24:42] a little easier tomorrow, and today with the heat,
[00:24:45] restless weather is also arriving,
[00:24:49] so already in the morning hours
[00:24:52] it is really very warm and
[00:24:56] the first clouds with rain and
[00:24:59] thunderstorms are moving into the
[00:25:03] south-western regions of the country,
[00:25:06] so today throughout the day there
[00:25:09] remains a possibility of such restless
[00:25:13] weather, short showers with
[00:25:16] thunderstorms should form in many
[00:25:20] places in the country, it will
[00:25:25] some places, during thunderstorms and
[00:25:28] the probability of such restless
[00:25:32] weather is highest the pressure system continues
[00:25:35] to strengthen over Lithuania, so there's no rain visible on the map, the sky
[00:25:39] should clear up again during the night, no rain is expected,
[00:25:42] the wind will also die down to almost calm and the temperature drops even
[00:25:46] faster, so it's a cool night about..." 7-12 degrees of warmth, it will be
[00:25:50] slightly warmer only by
[00:25:53] the seaside on Sunday,
[00:25:57] calm weather is expected again, no weather changes will occur,
[00:26:01] the center of the anticyclone will settle completely over Lithuania, so
[00:26:04] during the day the clouds will disperse and the sky will remain
[00:26:08] partly cloudy, the probability of rain remains
[00:26:11] low, the wind will also be of variable direction
[00:26:14] and not strong, and the temperature will remain very similar, around
[00:26:18] 20-25 degrees Celsius, so after such hot
[00:26:22] days we will be able to breathe a sigh of relief during the weekend, and
[00:26:25] we will start the new week again with warmer weather,
[00:26:28] so on Monday night the anticyclone moves further
[00:26:31] east. but it still causes a drier and calmer night,
[00:26:35] a light southeast-south wind turns, and the night
[00:26:38] is already a little warmer, about 10-15 degrees Celsius,
[00:26:42] directly again it can be one or two degrees warmer, on Monday
[00:26:45] the weather changes begin, as a new cyclone
[00:26:49] approaches from the west, so the cyclone's clouds should reach the western
[00:26:53] regions of the country, the coast, there is a possibility of short rain,
[00:26:57] individual thunderstorms may also rumble, but warmth flows
[00:27:01] in from southern directions again,
[00:27:04] so on Monday the temperature will rise faster again, up to
[00:27:08] 24-29 degrees Celsius, so of course, it will be cooler
[00:27:12] by the seaside, where the rain arrives, but a hotter
[00:27:15] day is expected again in the eastern and southern
[00:27:18] regions of the country, well, after Monday,
[00:27:21] on Tuesday that rain strengthens more rapidly over
[00:27:24] Lithuania, so the cyclone moves further north, this whole large
[00:27:28] low pressure system together with the cold atmospheric front, so
[00:27:32] on Tuesday night more intense rain will pass through most
[00:27:35] parts of the country, and already during the day only such
[00:27:38] individual rain clouds are expected, so
[00:27:42] in the eastern and southern regions it should definitely still rain, in some
[00:27:46] places individual thunderstorms may also rumble, and the wind starts
[00:27:50] to strengthen with the arrival of the cyclone, so the westerly wind will be quite strong
[00:27:53] during the day, in some places dangerous wind gusts should
[00:27:57] strengthen, and the temperature, so Tuesday night should
[00:28:01] be warm, about 15-20 degrees Celsius,
[00:28:04] as it's rainy, the temperature won't drop rapidly, and
[00:28:08] on Tuesday during the day, again that heat that arrived on Monday
[00:28:12] retreats and it's a little cooler again, about
[00:28:15] 20-25 degrees Celsius.
[00:28:18] Well, in the middle of next week the weather changes again, so this
[00:28:22] cyclone moves further north to the east and from
[00:28:25] the southwest a higher pressure system strengthens again, so in the middle
[00:28:29] of next week on Wednesday it should be drier again. The probability
[00:28:33] of rain remains low, that westerly wind also
[00:28:36] calms down its gustiness, so again the gusts should calm down
[00:28:40] and the temperature will remain very similar, so the night will be
[00:28:43] cooler again, about 10-15 degrees Celsius, and
[00:28:47] on Wednesday during the day the temperature will again fluctuate around 20-25
[00:28:51] degrees, so the whole coming week is changeable, as we can see
[00:28:54] we will have both rain and drier days, but we will be able to breathe a sigh of relief
[00:28:58] from the heat, thank you Tauneta for the whole week's
