[00:00:53] 39, time to know
[00:00:55] everything.
[00:00:58] Trump announces that Ukraine and Russia have allegedly agreed not to attack
[00:01:01] each other's energy facilities. And Zelenskyy
[00:01:04] says that Ukraine could hold presidential elections, but he has
[00:01:08] conditions. Tell Putin, give us two
[00:01:11] months, 60 days of complete
[00:01:13] ceasefire.
[00:01:16] Polish police announce the arrest of a man who was allegedly planning an
[00:01:20] assassination attempt on the Prime Minister and Minister of
[00:01:22] Defense.
[00:01:26] In September, more Lithuanians left Lithuania than returned. The country
[00:01:30] is already facing the test of emigration and the statistics for this entire year
[00:01:33] also predict it. The destination countries for emigrating Lithuanians
[00:01:37] are still the United Kingdom, Norway, and
[00:01:40] Germany.
[00:01:44] Fur animal breeders are in limbo, businesses must
[00:01:48] close by January, but the ministry has no money
[00:01:51] for compensation.
[00:02:06] Good evening, I'm Jovita Vitkauskė, now in detail about this Sunday.
[00:02:10] Thank you for watching. After Donald Trump unexpectedly
[00:02:13] announced that Ukraine and Russia had agreed on so-called
[00:02:17] energy truces, the Ukrainian president says he knows
[00:02:20] nothing about the agreement, but
[00:02:22] added that he is prepared for a truce if Russia
[00:02:26] agrees to it and is awaiting more details from Washington. In order
[00:02:30] to stop the fire, France and the European
[00:02:33] Commission express support for Kyiv. The American president announced the news
[00:02:37] following a new conflict with Zelenskyy over his criticism of the United
[00:02:40] States' intentions to lift sanctions on Russian
[00:02:43] diesel. The Ukrainian leader also responded to Trump's call
[00:02:47] for Ukraine to elect a new president. He
[00:02:49] would agree to elections only on the condition that Moscow completely
[00:02:53] ceases hostilities for at least two
[00:02:55] months.
[00:02:57] This time there was no direct confrontation between them, but
[00:03:00] the American president's words escalating the conflict are reminiscent
[00:03:04] of those he spoke in February '25, when,
[00:03:07] after receiving Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, he publicly
[00:03:11] scold him.
[00:03:14] He could have solved all this many times, he should have held elections.
[00:03:18] He will not raise oil prices, he has already done enough damage.
[00:03:21] Now accusations have poured against the Ukrainian leader, criticizing Donald
[00:03:25] Trump's decision to ease
[00:03:27] it is sanctions on Russian diesel, allowing.
[00:03:37] In the United States, it is still record
[00:03:40] high.
[00:03:42] President Putin wants to agree, he will release a lot of oil into the world.
[00:03:46] Understand? This is a very good thing and by the way, at a very low
[00:03:49] price.
[00:03:51] In the eyes of critics, this will only confirm that, having cornered himself, Donald
[00:03:55] Trump will always find a scapegoat. The price of fuel
[00:03:58] worldwide has risen most due to the war
[00:04:00] in Iran,
[00:04:03] they don't know how to stop Putin, because stopping Putin is harder than
[00:04:07] pressuring others, it's easier to talk about the price and link it
[00:04:11] to Ukraine. Trump's call for Ukraine, that
[00:04:14] it's time to change the president, Zelenskyy did not reject, but
[00:04:18] put forward a condition.
[00:04:21] Tell Putin, give us two months, 60 days of complete
[00:04:25] ceasefire, 60 days, and we will hold
[00:04:28] elections.
[00:04:34] Russian envoys have long wooed Americans with business
[00:04:37] deals, according to the Ukrainian publication The Kiev
[00:04:40] Independent, this was also understood by Ukrainian representatives who arrived
[00:04:44] in Florida this week to talk with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner,
[00:04:47] but the news about easing sanctions on diesel
[00:04:50] that emerged during the negotiations shocked
[00:04:53] them too. I don't think this is a matter of a peace agreement,
[00:04:57] it's primarily a business matter. Such
[00:05:00] circumstances raise questions about whether an agreement with the Russians
[00:05:03] was reached in advance. The goal of the negotiations was an energy truce,
[00:05:07] under which both sides would stop attacking each other's energy
[00:05:10] infrastructure, that an agreement was allegedly
[00:05:13] reached, Donald Trump himself announced today
[00:05:17] on a social network, but Moscow does not
[00:05:20] confirm the news. Zelenskyy states that Trump's announcement
[00:05:23] is news to him, but adds that Ukraine is ready
[00:05:27] for a truce if Russia is seriously
[00:05:29] ready for it. For us, this was the only valuable
[00:05:33] point, the only point of negotiation, the only way
[00:05:36] to try to negotiate with Russia to stop attacking our
[00:05:40] energy infrastructure.
[00:05:43] Russia converts the revenue from energy exports into missiles
[00:05:47] and drones directed at civilians. The mere
[00:05:51] thought that we will pay the Russians money with which they will finance
[00:05:54] even more such attacks is worthy of condemnation. Even a
[00:05:57] cynical calculation will not bring Trump significant benefit, according to
[00:06:01] experts, the agreed amount of diesel is too small
[00:06:05] to significantly drive down the price in such a large market as
[00:06:08] America. As I understand it, even if fully implemented,
[00:06:12] the amount corresponds worth of the United States market's
[00:06:15] needs. The financial benefit to Russia is probably
[00:06:18] not what it would want either, but for Putin,
[00:06:21] the political one is probably more important. This
[00:06:24] allows him to send a message: the West always retreated, they retreated
[00:06:28] after the war in Georgia, they retreated after the annexation of Crimea, and they will retreat
[00:06:32] this time. Donald Trump's step also became a surprise
[00:06:35] for some Republicans, who recently approved expanding Trump's
[00:06:39] powers to more strongly pressure Russia
[00:06:42] Having already eased some sanctions,
[00:06:46] hoping that others will be tightened now seems
[00:06:49] naive. A group of Congress members says they are already preparing
[00:06:52] a bill to prevent the import
[00:06:55] of Russian resources, but when and whether such a bill would
[00:06:59] ever be adopted is unclear.
[00:07:02] Europeans, seeking greater pressure on Russia, no longer see
[00:07:05] the United States as partners.
[00:07:09] The camp supporting Trump is already explaining that by striking
[00:07:12] the enemy's energy, Ukraine is deliberately hindering him from achieving a favorable
[00:07:16] election outcome, so the Trump administration, after long wavering
[00:07:20] between Moscow and Kyiv, this time perhaps finally
[00:07:24] made its choice.
[00:07:26] Polish police announce the arrest of a man who, it is alleged,
[00:07:30] was planning an assassination attempt on the Prime Minister and Minister
[00:07:33] of Defense. More details about the arrest were not provided,
[00:07:37] however, Polish security services today held an urgent
[00:07:39] meeting. Local officials state that the danger
[00:07:42] is being taken extremely seriously. Polish media reports that
[00:07:46] law enforcement received information about a possible assassination
[00:07:50] attempt by email, when since summer, vigilance in the country
[00:07:53] has been increased due to the increased likelihood of Russian
[00:07:57] provocations and hybrid attacks. In addition, tension is rising due to
[00:08:00] recent attacks in schools in central Poland, after which
[00:08:04] officials announced that they are increasing security readiness.
[00:08:08] Hostile states that monitor Poland's online
[00:08:11] airspace interfere with it. There are many reports written
[00:08:14] about this, the public is constantly informed that foreign
[00:08:18] states interfere, and Russia interferes and monitors the most, so
[00:08:21] that every such case, when there is talk of a possible assassination attempt
[00:08:25] on top state officials, when attacks occur in
[00:08:28] educational institutions, at the same time there is also a hybrid
[00:08:32] information attack, an
[00:08:35] enemy attack that further burdens the police, going to various
[00:08:38] places, checking, more than
[00:08:41] 50,000 various educational institutions have been checked in recent days,
[00:08:45] so the police are really very burdened, tomorrow begins an important
[00:08:49] Warsaw Security Forum, so we can really feel that
[00:08:52] tension in the Polish public space, on the streets, not yet,
[00:08:55] because it's a beautiful weekend today, but the way Polish citizens
[00:08:59] react, they look with great concern at the state
[00:09:03] security situation these days.
[00:09:07] Statistics predict a country already forgotten, a new
[00:09:10] wave of emigration of Lithuanian citizens.
[00:09:12] According to economists, this would be a very sad
[00:09:15] trend, the government is currently trying to maintain at least
[00:09:19] the language among compatriots living abroad, encouraging them to choose
[00:09:22] Lithuanian schools.
[00:09:25] Previously, it moved actively in one direction, now it moves actively in
[00:09:29] both. For six years, more Lithuanian citizens returned to Lithuania
[00:09:33] than emigrated from it, but this year there is
[00:09:36] a breakthrough. The number of Lithuanians who go abroad to work and live
[00:09:40] has increased. I would assess this with a certain hint of
[00:09:43] perhaps bitterness, because Lithuania really hoped that a large
[00:09:46] number of Lithuanian citizens living in other
[00:09:50] countries would return to Lithuania, to boost
[00:09:53] the Lithuanian economy, and also to enrich it with their experience
[00:09:56] gained in foreign countries. In February, March, April
[00:10:00] and May, the numbers of Lithuanians who left and returned were very
[00:10:03] similar, in August they almost equalized, and
[00:10:06] in September, more had already left than returned. In total,
[00:10:10] over 12,000 Lithuanian citizens returned this year,
[00:10:13] only 500 more than emigrated. The current monthly
[00:10:17] emigration statistics are preliminary, and these data
[00:10:20] will be refined in the future, they will change slightly, because.
[00:10:25] of women of working age, the main countries for emigrating
[00:10:28] Lithuanians are still the United Kingdom, Norway, and
[00:10:32] Germany, these three have remained for some time. There are
[00:10:36] many reasons for Lithuanian emigration, high prices here,
[00:10:39] significantly more expensive housing, rising consumer goods and
[00:10:42] services, competition with immigrants, some Lithuanians do
[00:10:46] the same job, mutual language abroad, we see that
[00:10:50] they spread their wings more from Lithuania, saying, well, what's
[00:10:53] the big difference for me to work in Lithuania and speak a non-state
[00:10:57] language while working in certain sectors, where it is already really
[00:11:00] dominant, or to work there almost with the same people, but
[00:11:04] in Sweden or in Finland, Norway, and get twice
[00:11:08] the salary there. But not only economic reasons encourage
[00:11:11] Lithuanians to emigrate, economist Mauricas says, geopolitical
[00:11:15] ones too, fear of war. We are seeing a truly decreasing
[00:11:19] number of returnees and an increasing
[00:11:22] number of those leaving, and it may be that even
[00:11:25] this year we will have a negative
[00:11:28] migration balance of Lithuanian citizens
[00:11:31] after many years. This would be a really
[00:11:34] unpleasant trend, so
[00:11:37] that emigrants at least don't forget the language, the Ministry
[00:11:40] of Foreign Affairs encourages Lithuanians worldwide to choose
[00:11:43] Lithuanian schools.
[00:11:47] so that I can talk to my grandmother, and communication is maintained
[00:11:50] and there are other benefits for children who finish
[00:11:54] such a school, for example, in America, after finishing such a school, they get
[00:11:58] an additional point when applying to their university, so
[00:12:01] it's useful both there and for maintaining a connection with Lithuania. Vice-Minister
[00:12:05] Vaitekūnas says that knowing the language will create a desire to see the country.
[00:12:09] Economic ties always follow a person, so even
[00:12:12] coming here as a tourist, it still creates
[00:12:16] some kind of connection. Minister Ruginienė, in the prepared family
[00:12:19] package, suggests inviting emigrants with money, promising
[00:12:22] from 200 to 500 euros. Families will come,
[00:12:25] there might be mixed families, children might
[00:12:29] have been born abroad, so they will need
[00:12:32] to learn Lithuanian, other things, so we allocate
[00:12:36] another 1000 euros for certain integration,
[00:12:39] the more time passes, the less likely it is that those
[00:12:43] people will return to Lithuania, because they create their own
[00:12:46] circle of friends, create families, and if children are born
[00:12:50] there, then that return becomes more like another
[00:12:53] emigration. In 2024,
[00:12:57] six out of ten emigrated Lithuanians did not rule out the possibility
[00:13:00] of returning to Lithuania in the future, but that future is more than
[00:13:04] five years away. According to the economist, Lithuania already needs a clear
[00:13:07] immigration policy, how many and what kind of foreigners to accept, how
[00:13:11] to
[00:13:11] integrate them.
[00:13:15] Anykščiai was the first in Lithuania to decide to financially motivate
[00:13:19] police officers for results in the fight against
[00:13:21] drugs. The Police Trade Union welcomes
[00:13:25] such a decision, but the criminologist warns that bonuses for
[00:13:28] solved cases can increase statistics, but not reduce drug
[00:13:32] use. For significant contribution to reducing
[00:13:36] the availability of narcotic substances in the district, the mayor of Anykščiai
[00:13:39] awards two police officers with 500 € cash
[00:13:43] bonuses. Anykščiai municipality is the first in the country
[00:13:46] to incentivize officers for performance results.
[00:13:49] The decision is very logical,
[00:13:52] based on the fact that there is a need to
[00:13:56] reduce the supply of drugs to society
[00:13:59] and this depends on the effectiveness of police
[00:14:03] officers. The police currently do not have enough resources,
[00:14:07] perhaps, to allocate sufficient
[00:14:09] funding, for motivation, for the investigation
[00:14:13] and attention to priority criminal acts, so this is one
[00:14:17] way in which funds come from outside,
[00:14:21] from the municipality, which will incentivize and motivate police officers.
[00:14:25] Anykščiai residents have differing opinions on the decision to award bonuses
[00:14:28] to police officers, they should do their job even without
[00:14:31] these bonuses, why doesn't anyone give us these bonuses? Maybe
[00:14:35] they deserve to be awarded, because their salaries are not very
[00:14:39] high,
[00:14:42] but that they conscientiously do that job. I evaluate it positively, because
[00:14:46] the drug problem is truly very big, especially in small towns, I myself
[00:14:49] am an addiction consultant, I deal with it every day.
[00:14:53] Criminologist Gintautas. evaluates the municipality's
[00:14:56] decision to reward officers skeptically, according to him,
[00:15:00] in Anykščiai, over the past year, 17 criminal
[00:15:04] acts for drug possession without intent
[00:15:07] to distribute were recorded, such crimes are much easier
[00:15:11] to investigate, you usually catch young people somewhere on the street, somewhere
[00:15:14] loitering, you find them, experts
[00:15:17] determine that drugs, in principle, in terms
[00:15:20] of investigation, it is very simple, much simpler, for example, than
[00:15:24] investigating a theft. or, for example, the same fraud
[00:15:28] and especially telephone fraud, according to Sakalauskas, the municipality's
[00:15:31] decision is criminologically unfounded, because the number of cases
[00:15:35] is not the same as the reduction in crime, in other words,
[00:15:39] by setting the tone to catch
[00:15:42] as many people involved with drugs as possible,
[00:15:46] somehow, you stimulate an increase in the number
[00:15:50] of registered cases, but they fundamentally will not really solve
[00:15:53] the problem of drug use itself, although the municipality
[00:15:57] awards bonuses to Anykščiai police officers, the Utena
[00:16:00] County Police Commissariat, to which
[00:16:03] Anykščiai police belong, has to decide
[00:16:07] who will receive them. However, Utena officers themselves do not receive such bonuses.
[00:16:10] The Utena district municipality does not plan to
[00:16:13] allocate them yet.
[00:16:16] From January, the ban on fur animal farms will come into effect.
[00:16:19] Breeders say that great damage has been done and stated that
[00:16:23] the state must take responsibility for it. However, the Minister
[00:16:26] of Agriculture says that there is no money in the budget for compensation
[00:16:30] for closed businesses, 64 million
[00:16:33] is not there. In a farm near Kaunas,
[00:16:37] they breed minks, but this fur
[00:16:40] animal farm, like others, will be banned from
[00:16:43] January, we are preparing, but it is very painful
[00:16:47] morally, because literally the whole
[00:16:50] life is given here and the whole family works literally,
[00:16:54] considers moving their business to Finland. Finland still
[00:16:57] sees perspective
[00:17:00] in this and there are no talks about closure
[00:17:04] yet. The farm employs 23 workers. They
[00:17:07] will also lose their jobs. Mostly it will probably be the labor exchange,
[00:17:11] because there is really no work around here.
[00:17:14] or very low salaries. Our
[00:17:17] average salary is on paper
[00:17:20] 2965, so I don't consider that to be a low
[00:17:23] salary. Hmm. There are definitely no such here.
[00:17:27] The head of the Fur Animal Breeders Association says that two
[00:17:30] farms will have to lay off about 80 people,
[00:17:34] he says, pension-age workers also worked here. Many people
[00:17:38] who work are those who have worked for 40 years, longer
[00:17:41] than me, and they will definitely not
[00:17:45] have the same salary they get here, they will definitely not
[00:17:48] have a chance to get it elsewhere, because they don't have, they have a very
[00:17:52] specialized qualification that others don't have, for whom,
[00:17:55] for whom, but for others already not. Last year, a court
[00:17:59] expert determined that fur animal farms would suffer
[00:18:03] 64 million euros in losses
[00:18:05] due to closure. The minister reminds that the previous
[00:18:09] Seimas had allocated only three million for this. As of
[00:18:13] today, it is probably important for us to emphasize that
[00:18:16] there are no funds allocated in the budget for compensation. The court
[00:18:20] will continue the case regarding compensation for damages to fur animal
[00:18:23] farms that must cease operations in November. There is
[00:18:26] a court for that, if the court orders it, it doesn't matter if there is money.
[00:18:30] The head of the Fur Animal Breeders Association says that the decision will cause
[00:18:34] huge damage, and there is no money to cover it. He stated
[00:18:38] that the state must take responsibility, but no
[00:18:40] assistance was offered. A person is left, as
[00:18:44] they say, with their problem, with the fact that they lose
[00:18:47] their job, left alone absolutely, there are many
[00:18:50] vacant places in vocational training centers and universities,
[00:18:54] various programs are provided
[00:18:57] for this, but perhaps for people in the regions, the
[00:19:01] work they knew and did, that should probably
[00:19:05] be somehow linked more to agriculture, so it is certainly
[00:19:08] being thought about and it is important for us that those people
[00:19:12] remain primarily in the regions, so that they maintain the vitality
[00:19:16] of the regions. Currently, there are
[00:19:18] 376 fur animal
[00:19:21] keepers in the country, the majority of their animals, over
[00:19:24] 570,000,
[00:19:27] are minks. The Seimas adopted amendments banning the fur
[00:19:30] animal business three
[00:19:32] years ago.
[00:19:35] The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen announced
[00:19:38] a new attack on the international Riyadh airport a day
[00:19:42] after a missile launched there by Iran-backed Houthis, according to the latest
[00:19:45] data, killed 13 people and injured 300.
[00:19:48] Who is responsible for the new strike has not yet been confirmed, but it was carried
[00:19:52] out after the Houthis warned travelers to stay
[00:19:56] away from the airport. Yesterday's
[00:19:59] attack is considered the deadliest attack in Saudi
[00:20:02] Arabia in over a decade. Among
[00:20:05] the dead are two Saudis, two Bangladeshis, as well as American,
[00:20:09] Jordanian, Syrian, Sudanese, Egyptian, Indian citizens and one
[00:20:12] Palestinian. Houthi attacks in the region have intensified
[00:20:16] as the war with Iran, which supports the Houthis with weapons
[00:23:22] is a detailed report on the new week's weather, have a good rest and a productive
[00:23:26] Monday.
[00:23:32] At the end of the week, the cyclone that arrived in the country brought
[00:23:36] autumnal drizzle and cooler weather. This week, the situation
[00:23:39] will change slightly, it will be a little warmer in the second
[00:23:42] half of it. On Tuesday, a high-pressure
[00:23:46] area will strengthen, cloudy weather with clearings will prevail,
[00:23:49] it will rain briefly and lightly from thicker clouds in some places,
[00:23:53] in the morning, fog will complicate traffic conditions in some places, a calm
[00:23:56] wind of variable direction will blow, at dawn the air will cool to
[00:23:59] 2-7 degrees Celsius, it will be a degree or two warmer
[00:24:03] on the coast, hoarfrost will form on the soil surface in many places,
[00:24:07] up to 4 degrees below zero, during the day it will warm up to
[00:24:09] 10-15 degrees, on Wednesday, a cold atmospheric
[00:24:13] front will reach Lithuania from the west, it will rain intermittently
[00:24:16] in some places at night, and in many areas during the day, the wind will strengthen.
