[00:00:01] would get on that bike, so she would normally
[00:00:05] ride a bike with a skirt, and so
[00:00:08] on. And I see that when
[00:00:11] I'm 80, I think it won't be any different, it will only be
[00:00:15] some electric scooter or some other
[00:00:18] flying board in those days and so on. But
[00:00:22] let's go back to children, what about children? And children with children,
[00:00:26] I bow my head to all teachers in schools."
[00:00:31] "And really, in my time, we didn't have such
[00:00:34] great rights, actually, but
[00:00:37] I'm discovering my methods, so that
[00:00:40] tantrums don't arise, so that I don't start
[00:00:43] shouting. Then I stay silent,
[00:00:47] completely, yes, I stay silent and wait, I stay silent,
[00:00:50] aha.
[00:00:55] I just make sure their heads don't get twisted and that all the lights
[00:00:58] in the center are on." "And then they
[00:01:01] ask me, they are like, when you go silent, then
[00:01:05] ma'am, why are you silent here? I wait,
[00:01:09] what am I waiting for, I say, until you finish here,
[00:01:12] aha. And then we won't finish? Well, then there will be no
[00:01:16] dessert, no dessert, and then, and these are
[00:01:19] the ones, and then they stop, they go silent, like little monkeys, I'll always
[00:01:23] intervene, yes, because I also work with children,
[00:01:27] but, ah, yes, if you raise your voice too much or
[00:01:31] you get upset yourself, then nothing, you get absolutely the same
[00:01:34] resonance, and the ideal, meaning
[00:01:38] rehearsal and lesson, was when I was really voiceless, but I still
[00:01:41] had to go to work, right? I have no voice at all, I hung
[00:01:45] up a sign, I have no
[00:01:47] voice, they
[00:01:49] are like,
[00:01:53] how,
[00:01:57] aha, what are we going to do now?
[00:02:00] I write, mhm, I play music,
[00:02:03] something was perfect, this is how
[00:02:06] they wouldn't have taken me as a child with such things, they would have needed at least tasers to shut me
[00:02:10] up. Vyacheslav, you know, you gave me a very good idea, what? I
[00:02:14] will buy a taser, and next time I'll bring it
[00:02:18] to the filming, maybe a sign too, then he will
[00:02:21] use it, he will say, now you, wait, wait, wait, you sit on the sofa,
[00:02:25] here in my place, and then, so to speak, and so on
[00:02:28] and so forth, the train. And the one with the arrows,
[00:02:32] and that, then it has protection underneath,
[00:02:35] well, we'll figure something out, I'll prepare
[00:02:39] for the next filming, Inga, and what is related to, how
[00:02:42] is the story related to Easter and the pig's
[00:02:46] snout, I know there is such a thing,
[00:02:49] yes, well, what is that story?
[00:02:54] front, then you present it This is television, yes, this is a
[00:02:56] television,
[00:02:58] yes, this was, very funny. But we also want
[00:03:00] to laugh, oh, I can't, don't be selfish,
[00:03:04] tell it quickly, I was very bravely
[00:03:08] joking, but in short it was like this, there was a
[00:03:11] show, I don't know, for how long it was on LNK for
[00:03:15] one season, it seems, m,
[00:03:18] oh my, about talents, well,
[00:03:21] in short, talents gathered, I sat on the jury, next to me was the late
[00:03:25] Cololo, it was a truly excellent solid jury
[00:03:28] and respected. Valinskas, it seems, and acts
[00:03:31] quickly, well, normal, that means I sit in the corner,
[00:03:35] and in short, I participated in one show and another, after that my friends
[00:03:39] don't create there classmates,
[00:03:42] they say, it will be Easter, just every Sunday we would have a live
[00:03:46] broadcast and they say, it will be Easter and we will watch that show
[00:03:50] only if you give us a sign to
[00:03:52] greet us, mhm, well, somehow we just thought of it, because you are
[00:03:56] there on TV, you are there humiliating me here already.
[00:04:00] She remained a star here, I say okay, she says, will you be able to give a sign,
[00:04:04] what kind of sign, well, I say, I'll take this one and
[00:04:07] do this, meaning at some point I'll nod, meaning I greet
[00:04:11] you for Easter, and I sit
[00:04:13] the show damn, now I have to show it and
[00:04:16] the screen like that and I have to catch when they show me and
[00:04:20] it's a live broadcast aha, well I sit like that
[00:04:23] and I see someone, I need to think of something not very
[00:04:26] talented to get, well, so that the producer doesn't get angry,
[00:04:30] with my hand down I sit, I sit and
[00:04:33] I look and they show me, I did this
[00:04:37] once and I didn't look if we caught it or not,
[00:04:40] damn it and again I sit like that
[00:04:44] and again like that and again and
[00:04:47] you know, it was three times it was three times
[00:04:50] and oh, the producer comes and
[00:04:54] why are you doing that, I say I'm thinking if he's talented
[00:04:58] I say otherwise me? "I
[00:05:01] can't, I need to think, a lot of
[00:05:04] oxygen, yes, and that's it, and then after the show
[00:05:07] the crew, they call laughing, thank you, my dear, you
[00:05:11] managed to look so ugly on TV, they invited me
[00:05:14] again, and then, you know, they kicked me out of that show,
[00:05:18] so
[00:05:18] that's
[00:05:22] probably the moral of this story, so now I've revealed it, you tell me why I did
[00:05:26] this, that's probably the moral of this show, that
[00:05:29] for friends it's better not to do anything during the show, yes, but believe me, I've
[00:05:33] messed up even without friends, oh, I don't know, I don't know, guys,
[00:05:37] congratulations to everyone, congratulations to everyone, well, it's not
[00:05:41] Easter yet, but it's close.
[00:05:45] Brazauskas' funeral is taking place on LRT2, a serious
[00:05:48] funeral, so this is already a serious live broadcast, but before
[00:05:51] the live broadcast, there is a phone call via Skype, someone was supposed
[00:05:55] to connect to Skype, Mandrigis Miliute is sitting there, hosting, Valatka is sitting, sitting, sitting
[00:05:59] or someone else, so I'm also all you know, and somehow, well,
[00:06:02] since we're sitting there 8,000, even 7.
[00:06:06] The funeral is going on for a very long time, and in between, we somehow remember
[00:06:09] Brazauskas. At that time, I could imitate Brazauskas. Brazauskas used to say,
[00:06:13] what a babatukas, what, what a babatukas, where is the babatukas, I don't know
[00:06:16] any babatukas. Someone asks Brazauskas, what is a babatukas? And so, I somehow
[00:06:20] did such a thing, probably more talented than now, because everything was fresh,
[00:06:24] and somehow at that time the sound was being tested and my
[00:06:27] babatukas from the train recorded and into the live
[00:06:30] broadcast, when we start talking, the Skype connection is pressed and
[00:06:34] it says, what a babatukas, where is the babatukas, three
[00:06:37] times, how, how did this happen,
[00:06:40] no one can say. We are most ashamed, at first they think, babatukas
[00:06:44] babatukas, oh my god, they turn off that Skype, they say, connection failed, they turn it on again, again
[00:06:48] babatukas,
[00:06:51] so this is, this was one of those things, where it was mysterious, Binuta
[00:06:54] said, Rita said, we need to cross ourselves here, now for the next, the next
[00:06:58] segment, oh, well, with that cheerful note, we will
[00:07:01] conclude our conversation today. This evening, ladies
[00:07:05] and gentlemen, we tried to live without labels, I don't know how well
[00:07:08] we succeeded, ah, but
[00:07:11] to see. that the former group member Meda from
[00:07:14] the series or a communication guru, that behind these
[00:07:18] labels hide truly excellent cheerful people, who
[00:07:22] cut grass barefoot, and read countless books, sing
[00:07:25] songs, write poetry, and simply live
[00:07:28] life. Thank you for being with us today, we'll see you in a week.
[00:08:04] of gratitude, hope, and
[00:08:06] community.
[00:08:12] Yes, in Pivašiūnai. Live broadcast of Holy Mass on
[00:08:15] August 15th,
[00:08:19] Saturday at 12:00 on LRT
[00:08:22] television. Weekend detectives on
[00:08:26] LRT television. Saturday. A priest whose
[00:08:29] insight helps uncover the most complex
[00:08:32] crimes. Father Brown.
[00:08:35] Sunday, a policewoman and her assistant with
[00:08:39] a special ability to notice what others miss.
[00:08:42] "Stunning minds, intriguing mysteries
[00:08:46] and unexpected plot twists, on weekends on
[00:08:49] LRT television.
[00:08:52] The plan is clear: not to faint and
[00:08:55] not to turn to stone. How will it be
[00:08:58] implemented? In what way?
[00:09:00] An intriguing game of librarians
[00:09:04] in the golden mind summer league. Oh
[00:09:07] no, I won't say, I won't even say, because it will be embarrassing,
[00:09:10] yes, this Friday. 9 PM
[00:09:14] on LRT television. Hello, I'm in the super final.
[00:10:22] Good afternoon, 15, the most important events of the day. In the news program, in the studio, I am
[00:10:26] Marijus Žiedas. Kazimira Danutė Prunskienė, signatory of the March
[00:10:29] 11th Act, the first head of the Lithuanian government after the restoration of
[00:10:33] independence, was buried in the signers' hill of the Antakalnis cemetery in Vilnius.
[00:10:36] During the farewell, Arvydas Juozaitis, a member of the Sąjūdis initiative group, recalled that
[00:10:40] Prunskienė and Meilė Lukšienė were the only women in this group
[00:10:44] and emphasized that it was the first Lithuanian Prime Minister who visited the United
[00:10:47] States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and established ties
[00:10:51] with Western countries during the Moscow economic blockade. According to
[00:10:55] signatory Vytelis Andriukaitis, being the first is a difficult test, especially
[00:10:58] during an era of upheaval. Economic blockade, difficult reforms,
[00:11:02] meetings with world leaders to break the Soviet-initiated
[00:11:05] blockade. Brunskienė died last week at the age
[00:11:08] of 84.
[00:11:13] According to Robert Kaunas, the Minister of National Defense, the available intelligence information
[00:11:17] suggests that Russia is considering a hybrid attack
[00:11:20] against the Baltic states and Poland. Ukrainian
[00:11:24] drones could be used for this, meaning, they could be
[00:11:27] launched against Lithuania or other countries in the region with critical
[00:11:30] infrastructure. According to the Minister, Lithuania has already taken additional security
[00:11:34] measures, and object protection has been strengthened. Russia, according to
[00:11:37] the Minister, has not yet made a decision on such an attack. Their whole
[00:11:41] goal is to influence NATO, intimidate the populations of the Baltic states and Poland,
[00:11:44] and, since Ukrainian drones would be used,
[00:11:47] to sow discord among allies. Recently, Ukrainian attacks have caused
[00:11:51] significant damage to Russian infrastructure. The Kremlin has publicly accused
[00:11:54] the Baltic countries of carrying out attacks from their
[00:11:58] territories deep into Russia. In the near future,
[00:12:02] something specific will happen in the coming days, there is no such
[00:12:05] date, ah, we are observing
[00:12:08] Russia's, well, planning, ah,
[00:12:11] let's say, moment, what other NATO countries,
[00:12:15] Poland, the Baltic neighbors, other
[00:12:18] NATO states have communicated very clearly
[00:12:22] many times. saying that
[00:12:25] we see, we hear, we know, and let's not do that, it
[00:12:28] is, like history, an old
[00:12:31] strategic, Soviet Russian way of thinking, ah,
[00:12:35] pressure or
[00:12:38] take two aggressive steps forward,
[00:12:41] then you can fix certain conditions for agreement,
[00:12:45] which will be like some kind of
[00:12:48] concession from your side, and then you will fix that situation,
[00:12:51] for example, Ukraine's. ah in potential
[00:12:55] some negotiations, as a kind of concession, that
[00:12:59] is, you created a problem, you created
[00:13:02] a supposed problem in the Baltic countries, ah you
[00:13:05] can say that there will probably be no
[00:13:09] more such problems, you won't do it again, but then that
[00:13:13] situation, which you want to fix on the Ukrainian
[00:13:19] as certain conditions for agreement.
[00:13:22] After
[00:13:25] information appeared that the Russian Kaliningrad region court
[00:13:28] found a Lithuanian citizen guilty in an espionage case, the State Security
[00:13:31] Department says that such information is known to intelligence, but
[00:13:34] states that it cannot provide comments. The Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign
[00:13:38] Affairs also says it knows about the convicted person and is currently seeking
[00:13:42] official information about the conviction of the Lithuanian
[00:13:45] citizen through diplomatic channels. According to the independent Russian news website
[00:13:48] Mediazona, Alexander Polyakov was sentenced to 13.5
[00:13:52] years in prison. The ministry does not confirm
[00:13:55] this information. As reported by Interfax, the convicted person was sentenced
[00:13:58] to imprisonment in a strict-regime colony, his phone was confiscated, and
[00:14:02] special means were not used to commit the crime. According to
[00:14:05] the court, the accused collected and transferred information constituting
[00:14:08] state secrets on Russian territory from 2011 to 2024,
[00:14:12] which could have been used to harm Russian state
[00:14:15] security.
[00:14:19] German officials are still investigating how a drone armed with explosives
[00:14:23] reached a strategically important airport yesterday, where the Ukrainian
[00:14:27] Antonov aircraft base operates. The Minister of Internal Affairs stated that the incident
[00:14:30] is considered a scenario of a hybrid attack. He said that the technologies
[00:14:34] used indicate that the operation might have been carried out
[00:14:36] by professionals. The media reports that the drone carried about
[00:14:40] 800 grams of military explosives. While the airport was
[00:14:43] closed, another nearby aircraft reported encountering
[00:14:47] an unknown object. NATO experts will also participate
[00:14:50] in the investigation of the incident.
[00:14:55] to say that we must evaluate this as a very serious security incident. In my
[00:14:58] opinion, we are facing a hybrid attack scenario, which unfolded
[00:15:02] as follows. Last night, a drone was spotted
[00:15:06] near Leipzig airport. This drone contained explosives. This is a new
[00:15:10] level of threat. In the past, we encountered drones and the threats
[00:15:13] they posed, also in a hybrid context, but a drone armed
[00:15:16] with explosives in the airport territory is a new threat
[00:15:20] scenario.
[00:15:23] In Russia's Yaroslavl region. After a Ukrainian drone attack,
[00:15:26] a large oil refinery is burning. Services are trying to extinguish
[00:15:30] the fire. Local officials report that falling drone debris
[00:15:34] hit the oil refinery's storage tanks.
[00:15:37] 250 km northeast of
[00:15:41] Moscow. The Ukrainian president stated that drones also struck
[00:15:44] an oil refinery in the Republic of Bashkortostan.
[00:15:48] In Ukraine, a Russian drone struck a railway station in the Kharkiv region. Two
[00:15:52] people died, eight more were injured. In the neighboring Sumy region, Russian drones
[00:15:55] killed three people. Attacks are not subsiding in the Black Sea
[00:15:59] cities either. In the Odesa region, when a drone attacked a civilian grain ship,
[00:16:03] one person died, three
[00:16:04] were injured.
[00:16:08] "In the swing state of Michigan, it has become clear who will represent the Democrats
[00:16:11] in the Senate elections in the fall. Abdul El-Sayed, a leftist of Egyptian
[00:16:14] descent, is celebrating a narrow victory. His
[00:16:18] victory over the more moderate centrist candidate is seen by analysts as an important
[00:16:22] sign for the Democratic Party, which is still searching for its
[00:16:26] identity before the mid-term elections.
[00:16:29] The President's speech in Las Vegas was supposed to be about the economy, but when it
[00:16:33] is interrupted by the war with Iran, the statements quickly turned to hatred.
[00:16:37] Donald Trump curses the leftist Democrat Abdul El-Sayed,
[00:16:41] who won the Michigan election.
[00:16:43] He doesn't love Israel, he doesn't love
[00:16:47] Jews, he hates them, he hates them with all his heart and can't
[00:16:50] do anything about it. The Michigan election decided who
[00:16:54] will represent the Democrats in the Senate race in the fall. Leftist
[00:16:58] Elsayed narrowly defeated moderate Democrat
[00:17:01] Haley Stevens, who was supported by pro-Israel
[00:17:04] groups.
[00:17:07] I spent summers in Egypt, there I could understand what life
[00:17:11] would be like if I had been born there, but I was born in America, I was
[00:17:14] vaccinated against diseases that killed an aunt and uncle I never
[00:17:18] got to know.
[00:17:22] In the swing state of Michigan, where Trump narrowly won
[00:17:25] the presidential election twice, the fall race
[00:17:28] will be crucial. It will determine whether Democrats can regain control of the Senate.
[00:17:32] To secure its control and thus the ability to block most
[00:17:35] of Trump's agenda for the remainder of his term, Democrats must
[00:17:39] hold Michigan and take over four Republican seats
[00:17:43] in other parts of the country.
[00:17:46] In response to the question of whether there is a prevailing sentiment
[00:17:49] in the swing state against immoderate candidates who
[00:17:53] have not previously held elected office. And whether there is a prevailing sentiment against
[00:17:57] Muslim candidates. The Michigan fight is seen as much
[00:18:00] broader. The Democratic Party is searching for its identity after losing the election
[00:18:04] to Trump. Communists, Marxists, socialists and... globalists
[00:18:07] have already had their chance, and their legacy is only
[00:18:10] disaster. As Trump declares war on the left, his supporters,
[00:18:14] at least in Michigan, seem to be uniting even more. Al-Sayed,
[00:18:17] who has a medical background, is congratulated by the recently elected
[00:18:20] mayor of New York, who calls himself a socialist. This shows how
[00:18:24] much the Republican Party has alienated itself from the concerns
[00:18:27] of the American working class. Al-Sayed now says he is a capitalist and
[00:18:31] has distanced himself from the Democratic Socialists of America organization, but he
[00:18:35] supports a non-privatized healthcare system. He advocates for a wealth
[00:18:38] tax, greater state control in social policy, and
[00:18:42] seeks to soften Trump's strict immigration
[00:18:44] controls.
[00:18:47] Latvian border guards suspect that they lack hundreds of officers, and if
[00:18:51] Belarus increases the flow of migrants, they will not be able to cope.
[00:18:55] The deputy head of the border service told Latvian radio that their forces have long been
[00:18:58] exhausted. The Prime Minister mentions plans to involve the army more, but for now
[00:19:02] does not promise tougher sanctions against Minsk. At the same time, Estonia
[00:19:06] returned the first eight held
[00:19:07] migrants to Latvia.
[00:19:11] The only still functioning border crossing with Belarus was reopened
[00:19:14] after almost a week-long break, which officials explained by technical
[00:19:18] problems. This delighted carriers, but
[00:19:21] border guards say that if the crossing were completely closed, the 100 border guards
[00:19:24] working there could be redirected elsewhere, to protect
[00:19:28] the most vulnerable sections of the border. The Border
[00:19:31] Service warned the Ministry of Internal Affairs that even under normal
[00:19:34] conditions, there is a shortage of one and a half officers. To repel a larger
[00:19:38] migrant attack, another 400 would be needed.
[00:19:42] Broader involvement of the
[00:19:43] army is also being considered.
[00:19:47] It is very important and encouraging that the Ministries of Defense and Internal Affairs
[00:19:50] and the army are cooperating. There is a concrete plan, and the main goal is
[00:19:54] to cut off the main arteries of this operation.
[00:19:57] The main artery is the transport network, it has become a business where
[00:20:01] drivers are hired to transport migrants. If you remove this,
[00:20:05] if you remove the support networks in Latvia. "The whole operation will become
[00:20:08] significantly less attractive, wandering through forests and swamps and not knowing where
[00:20:12] you will end up.
[00:20:15] Estonian border guards have increased patrols not only along the border with
[00:20:19] Latvia, but also where migrants may travel further to the Nordic
[00:20:22] countries, at airports and ports. Yesterday, for the first
[00:20:25] time, eight Ethiopian citizens were returned
[00:20:28] to Latvia.
[00:20:30] This year, we have already identified and detained over 100 people due to
[00:20:34] illegal migration in Estonian territory." In comparison,
[00:20:38] last year we detained 39 people
[00:20:41] for illegal migration, which is a significant
[00:20:42] change.
[00:20:45] Estonian, as well as Lithuanian and Finnish border guards, help protect the border
[00:20:49] with... Belarus in Latvia itself, but its border
[00:20:52] service says that the situation is already dramatic and its forces
[00:20:56] have long been exhausted, without additional resources, it will become
[00:20:59] impossible to protect itself, especially if pressure from Belarus
[00:21:03] increases. The government has already announced sanctions to restrict
[00:21:06] the import of Belarusian goods.
[00:21:09] We are considering all options, and this is one of the unresolved issues,
[00:21:13] to take action against Belarus for deliberately launching this hybrid
[00:21:16] attack against us.
[00:21:20] The tightened border regime has been introduced until the end
[00:21:23] of this year.
[00:21:26] The opposition Nemuno aušros party has risen to third
[00:21:30] place in the ratings table. The Homeland Union - Lithuanian Christian Democrats are still first,
[00:21:33] according to a public opinion poll conducted in July by the news portal
[00:21:37] Delfi and the company Spinter tyrimai. The ruling social democrats are in
[00:21:40] second place. At the same time, in the prime minister's position, most respondents
[00:21:43] continue to see the former prime minister, conservative Ingrida
[00:21:46] Šimonytė. The chairman of Nemunas aušra, Žemaitaitis, rose to second place.
[00:21:50] The current prime minister, social democrat chairman Mindaugas
[00:21:53] Sinkevičius, is
[00:21:54] third.
[00:21:57] Today, a storm, gusty winds, or even a squall
[00:22:01] are forecast in different Lithuanian cities. In the afternoon, short
[00:22:05] rains with thunderstorms are expected in most parts of the country, and in southern Lithuania, a squall and
[00:22:08] hail may occur. According to the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service,
[00:22:12] it is forecast that the strongest storms may move through the Marijampolė,
[00:22:16] Alytus, Kaunas, and Vilnius counties. Some residents of the country
[00:22:19] also received warnings from the resident warning system on their phones that due to
[00:22:22] the heavy storm, trees may fall and electricity may go out. The service
[00:22:26] emphasized that summer thunderstorms are difficult to forecast, so the location
[00:22:29] where the most powerful storm clouds will form may still
[00:22:32] change. We are expecting heavy rain in
[00:22:36] a short period of time, when more than 15
[00:22:39] mm of rain will fall, squally wind strengthening also more than
[00:22:43] 15 m per second, those sudden ones and hail from
[00:22:47] 6 mm. Everything will depend heavily on the development
[00:22:50] of the clouds, so it might be that
[00:22:53] we will experience something similar, when really large amounts
[00:22:57] of rain will fall in a very short time, ah, again
[00:23:00] the trajectory, how those clouds will
[00:23:04] travel, it will depend, because it might be that in a very
[00:23:07] small narrow strip we will experience such
[00:23:11] more intense, let's say, those showers, and elsewhere just such
[00:23:14] summery thunderstorms and heavy
[00:23:17] rains will sweep through.
[00:23:20] For the first time in Lithuania, a gastronomy strategy will be
[00:23:23] organized. According to it, over the next decade, the country will aim to attract
[00:23:26] world-class events, more chefs to encourage the creation of exceptional
[00:23:30] dishes. The Minister of Economy and Innovation states that Lithuania
[00:23:33] aims to become a gastronomy center in the region, thus intending to attract
[00:23:37] new investments and more tourists. A survey conducted in Lithuania
[00:23:40] showed that 79% of tourists
[00:23:43] choose Lithuania for gastronomic experiences, almost as many for
[00:23:47] nature and culture.
[00:23:50] This ambition today might seem to you like a utopia and
[00:23:53] that it's impossible, but Lithuania as a gastronomy
[00:23:57] mecca in the next 10 years. Gastronomy, well,
[00:24:00] has long become one of the essential components
[00:24:04] of tourism, tourism economic directions,
[00:24:07] and this is always, what I constantly repeat, is also a window into
[00:24:10] Lithuania. For new incoming tourists, from the same
[00:24:14] countries from which we expect many, it is an opportunity to expand the circle
[00:24:18] of countries from which we attract tourists, and you know, from
[00:24:22] such visits, relationships are established even with
[00:24:24] investors.
[00:24:28] Valdas Dambrauskas' led Baku Sabah club started the
[00:24:31] third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League with a loss, but the Azerbaijani champions
[00:24:35] preserved their chances of moving forward. Dambrauskas praised the opposing
[00:24:38] footballer who scored two goals and admitted that the better
[00:24:42] team doesn't always win on the field.
[00:24:46] The Baku Sabah footballers, coached by one of Lithuania's best football specialists,
[00:24:50] are competing in the third qualifying round against the Danish Aarhus club. Due to
[00:24:54] traffic jams, the match in Denmark started 40 minutes later
[00:24:57] than planned. At the beginning of the match, there was no shortage of emotions. After the home team's
[00:25:01] forward James Bogerias' goal, the Sabah team received penalties
[00:25:04] from the referee. In a six-minute period, the Azerbaijani club was sanctioned with three
[00:25:08] yellow cards. Valdas Dambrauskas was the first to receive
[00:25:11] one. I think the referees showed too much respect
[00:25:15] to the home team. Especially in the first half, and those couple of yellow
[00:25:18] cards they showed us and they showed me a yellow card, well,
[00:25:22] probably for the smallest sin I've ever committed in my life,
[00:25:26] I got a yellow card, you know, there are times when
[00:25:29] you can't control yourself, or aggressively or something else, now it's really
[00:25:33] no aggression from my side there was not, just just
[00:25:36] emotions. In the second half, Orchus' forward Bogeria
[00:25:39] doubled the lead, after a few minutes Velkas Simičius equalized
[00:25:43] the score, in added time the referee, after a review due to an attacking
[00:25:47] player's offside, disallowed Saba's equalizer. "The first match
[00:25:51] the Azerbaijani champions lost 1-2, so here is that
[00:25:54] football, you know, that paradox, you can be better, and you get,
[00:25:58] you know, and Aurelijus Karbalius wrote, you know, where
[00:26:02] Daniel lives too, that it's really a better team, both in team actions
[00:26:05] and individually as a team, but well,
[00:26:08] a loss, of course, two mistakes, but it's hard
[00:26:12] to even call them mistakes, both goals from outside the penalty area, just
[00:26:16] fantastic shots, I'm telling you, sometimes there are such days and you want
[00:26:20] to praise that player, that he's a good job and
[00:26:24] and you know, it's a shame for us, but what can you do,
[00:26:27] we need to look now and prepare
[00:26:31] for Baku, so that we...
[00:26:34] Dambrauskas's players, having lost to their opponents by a minimal margin, have every chance
[00:26:37] to qualify for the playoffs. The return match
[00:26:41] in Azerbaijan, Sabah will play on August 11th.
[00:26:44] Next,
[00:26:46] the show Good Day Lithuania and colleague Karolina Panto once again
[00:26:50] about the most important events of the day in the news at four, stay
[00:26:53] together.
[00:27:02] The upcoming night will be partly cloudy, with scattered short rains, in some places
[00:27:06] in Superkunije it will be 12-17 degrees Celsius, tomorrow during the day
[00:27:09] partly cloudy, with some short rain, warming up to
[00:27:12] 21-26 degrees.
[00:27:29] Good afternoon, on your screens is the show Good Day. This time Lithuania
[00:27:33] is a bit shorter. Before the news on LRT television, you could
[00:27:37] see a special program. The signatory of the Act of Independence,
[00:27:40] the first head of the Lithuanian government after the restoration of independence,
[00:27:44] Kazimira Danutė Prunskienė, was sent off on her last journey.
[00:27:47] She was buried in Vilnius' Antakalnis cemetery on the Signatories'
[00:27:50] Hill. About the activities of the first government, led by
[00:27:53] the politician called the Amber Lady, the complex internal
[00:27:57] and international political circumstances, visions, goals
[00:28:00] and reality. I am talking to the author of the book "The First Government, Visions
[00:28:04] and Opportunities," journalist Ramunė Sakalauskaitė. Good
[00:28:07] day. Hello. Ms. Sakalauskaite, how would you
[00:28:11] describe Kazimira Prunskienė's
[00:28:15] activities as a politician, how did she become
[00:28:18] the first head of government, what was her assessment
[00:28:22] at that time? She came to power at a difficult time,
[00:28:26] first of all
[00:28:29] she was a scientist, she was elected to the "Congress of People's
[00:28:33] Deputies" and in July 1989
[00:28:37] she became the Vice Prime Minister of Lithuania, then
[00:28:40] actively participated in the Sąjūdis movement and as a representative of Sąjūdis
[00:28:44] was delegated
[00:28:47] to become Prime Minister, she was
[00:28:50] a very flexible person, because for example, there were various
[00:28:54] candidates, the right-wingers thought that the first
[00:28:57] prime minister would not last long, that it was a kind of
[00:29:01] kamikaze. She still belonged to the Communist Party and
[00:29:04] and wanting to become the head of government, she wrote a statement right there in the Supreme Council
[00:29:08] hall and resigned from the Lithuanian Communist
[00:29:11] Party. It was a strong, charming
[00:29:14] personality,
[00:29:18] it's worth mentioning the fact that she, for example, that
[00:29:21] Congress of Deputies prepared
[00:29:24] the law on independent
[00:29:26] economic self-sufficiency, and when Gorbachev visited Lithuania
[00:29:30] in 1990, he criticized, why
[00:29:34] this legal act was not implemented,
[00:29:37] and and and all her activities,
[00:29:41] although they only lasted nine months, are truly incredibly
[00:29:44] interesting and complex, it is necessary
[00:29:47] to emphasize that she was one of the first
[00:29:50] four female prime ministers in the world, besides her there
[00:29:53] were Brit Thatcher, Gro Harlem
[00:29:56] Brundtland of Norway, Dominica had one, and the fourth was
[00:30:00] the Lithuanian Prime Minister. So I
[00:30:03] had, yes, about
[00:30:05] the book, I had, the government specifically
[00:30:08] approved for me
[00:30:11] the procedure, I could go and read government documents
[00:30:14] and try to trace the realities
[00:30:17] of that time, which are truly difficult for people today
[00:30:20] to comprehend, imagine, Lithuania's budget was
[00:30:23] 17,500
[00:30:25] dollars, which is like giving someone 10 euros today and saying,
[00:30:29] go run a shopping center, and she?
[00:30:33] And from the very beginning I also
[00:30:36] encountered her governance as a student,
[00:30:39] when when Lithuania declared
[00:30:42] independence, ah, when Moscow shut off all
[00:30:45] the taps, she and Saudargas went to
[00:30:48] Norway for oil, so the trip was paid for by
[00:30:52] the then Norwegian Christian Democrats, to whom
[00:30:55] Saudargas belonged, they went as students because there was no
[00:30:58] money there.
