[00:00:00] Between traditions, gastronomy, challenges, special guests
[00:00:04] and lots of excitement, we show that the Volta is much more than a
[00:00:07] competition, it is a celebration of Portugal and its
[00:00:10] people, every day come with us to discover what makes each
[00:00:14] stage a story to tell. Back on
[00:00:17] RTP, daily on RTP
[00:00:20] Mundo.
[00:00:40] On one side of the river in Estonia, the 14th century Erman castle
[00:00:43] and on the other in Russia, just
[00:00:47] 120 km away, the Evangorod
[00:00:51] fortress, founded in 1492.
[00:00:54] The bridge of friendship separates the two sides, the name was
[00:00:58] given by the Russians in the 60s
[00:01:01] to symbolize the proximity
[00:01:05] between Russia and the Soviet Republics. This is the
[00:01:09] bridge uh which was called in the Soviet times, it actually was builted in the
[00:01:13] Soviet times, it's called friendship, nowadays it's
[00:01:16] pretty ironically to call it like that, but it's the only bridge that you can go
[00:01:20] through to the Russia side. There was opportunity to go by car, but
[00:01:23] nowadays it's from the Russian border, they are making some
[00:01:27] reconstructions and they are a close.
[00:01:33] Citizens with Russian nationality have been prohibited from entering
[00:01:37] Estonian territory since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in
[00:01:40] 2022. However, the queues to cross the
[00:01:44] border on the Estonian side are long and can
[00:01:47] last between 6 and 16
[00:01:50] hours.
[00:01:55] I think it's like in the time of when the war started,
[00:01:59] so this is happening.
[00:02:30] their families live and do business
[00:02:33] here, this is their home, they consider it their home and rightly
[00:02:37] so, I believe. More than 90% of Narva's population
[00:02:40] is of Russian origin. After Estonia's independence in
[00:02:44] 1991, the vast majority of its inhabitants
[00:02:48] remained in the country.
[00:02:52] Narva is the capital of Idaviruma, the
[00:02:55] poorest region in Estonia, with an unemployment rate of more
[00:02:59] than... 12%.
[00:03:02] The European Union has allocated more than 300 million euros
[00:03:05] to the region, from the Just Transition Fund
[00:03:08] for the period
[00:03:10] 2021-2027,
[00:03:13] aimed at supporting European countries with the greatest need for
[00:03:17] adaptation to the carbon neutrality
[00:03:20] process. And Ida-Virumaa is suffering the
[00:03:23] impact of the energy transition with the
[00:03:26] replacement of oil shale with...
[00:04:00] The fund supported the creation of Europe's first rare earth
[00:04:04] magnet factory.
[00:04:20] The factory has the capacity to produce about 2,000 tons
[00:04:24] of magnetic blocks per year, an amount that is
[00:04:28] sufficient to equip.
[00:05:00] of Europe and in a time of crisis of rare earth
[00:05:03] magnetics, challenging trade flows,
[00:05:07] tariff, non-terif barriers that are happening in the world, the
[00:05:10] localization of critical material supply.
[00:05:22] the factory represents an investment of 75 million
[00:05:26] euros, European support is 14
[00:05:29] million, it employs about 80 people, but
[00:05:33] the creation of a thousand jobs is expected in the
[00:05:36] coming years. One of the objectives of production
[00:05:40] in this part of northern Europe is
[00:05:42] to increase European competitiveness and reduce
[00:05:45] dependence on China, which dominates the
[00:05:49] global market. Rarest permanent magnets are energy
[00:05:52] saving. If we want our world to succeed in the transition to net
[00:05:56] zero, part of it is transitioning to renewable
[00:06:00] energy sources, but the other part is using
[00:06:03] motors that are more energy efficient, that is using less
[00:06:07] energy in a motor to achieve the kind of mechanical output that we need
[00:06:10] to maintain if not incre.
[00:06:42] how effective the administration, the
[00:06:45] public administration procedures are because of how
[00:06:49] invested the public administration Estonia was and working with
[00:06:52] EU institutions um and of course us working
[00:06:56] together um Estonia became the first
[00:06:59] country that was able to grant an EU just
[00:07:03] transition fund award and by extension we became the first project and new
[00:07:07] performance materials
[00:07:10] branches in China, Thailand.
[00:08:42] It was also damaged,
[00:08:45] rebuilt in the 60s, and benefited from
[00:08:48] redevelopment works between 2021 and
[00:08:51] 2023.
[00:08:54] In the riverside area, with a view of Russia, the atmosphere is
[00:08:57] usually one of relaxation
[00:09:00] and leisure.
[00:09:02] The river banks were completely renovated with European
[00:09:06] financial support, on the walkways, it is possible to see
[00:09:09] marked on the ground the dates of accession of countries to the European
[00:09:13] Union, including Portugal 40 years ago.
[00:10:23] Good morning. broke the record for drug
[00:10:27] seizures, this year 28 tons of cocaine
[00:10:30] have already been seized, the last five were on the
[00:10:34] container ship arrested off the coast of
[00:10:37] Portugal, in an operation whose details we will
[00:10:40] learn.
[00:10:44] The fusilier team infiltrated the ship on
[00:10:47] Tuesday morning, rappelling in the open sea
[00:10:50] almost 1200 km from the
[00:10:53] Portuguese coast. I gave the operation the name
[00:10:56] Skydrop, fall from the sky, no one does anything.
