00:00:35Corporation. Last night, police once again apprehended 10 Sudanese citizens
00:00:39who were illegally residing in Estonia in the Nõmme district of Tallinn. Last night, around
00:00:437:30 p.m., police received a report of two men on Valdeku Street.
00:00:46It turned out that the men were illegally in Estonia, and
00:00:49there were more people hiding in the area. Police initiated
00:00:52a search, which involved service dogs, drones, and
00:00:55rescue workers. Eight more men were found in a nearby forest.
00:00:59They tried to escape from the police, and one of the men injured his
00:01:03hand while fleeing and was taken to the hospital. After first aid,
00:01:06he was also taken to the detention center.
00:01:09All ten men lacked a legal basis for being in Estonia, and
00:01:12only one had an identity
00:01:14document.
00:01:18you force them? Yes, we Today, negotiations will begin between the Estonian Trade Union Confederation and the Employers' Confederation
00:01:22on next year's minimum wage. The goal of the negotiations is to increase
00:01:25the purchasing power of low-wage workers and move towards
00:01:28the agreed target, according to which the minimum wage should reach half
00:01:32of the average Estonian wage. According to Kaia Vase, head of the
00:01:35Estonian Trade Union Confederation, the purchasing power of the Estonian minimum wage
00:01:39is one of the lowest in the European Union. According to her, a full-time worker should be able
00:01:42to cover all essential living expenses with their salary. The negotiations
00:01:46will be based on the goodwill agreement signed in
00:01:502023. Talks begin today at 1
00:01:53p.m.
00:01:56Russia continues to attack Ukrainian cities with drones and missiles, but
00:01:59Ukraine is also increasingly retaliating. In recent years, Ukrainians have significantly increased
00:02:03their ability to attack targets deep within Russian territory. In the
00:02:07"Ukraine Studio" program, Air Force Chief of Staff Colonel Freddy Karu
00:02:10explained how Ukraine is trying to weaken Russia's warfare
00:02:14with counterattacks. weaken.
00:02:17They have greatly developed and improved
00:02:21this capability in recent years
00:02:24and also made it more massive. So,
00:02:26many days they attack. already
00:02:30more than in my territory and
00:02:33unlike the Russian Federation, which often
00:02:37bombs cities and then from Ukraine, they continue
00:02:40to maintain that line that primarily
00:02:43military targets, such as various airbases,
00:02:46command points, but they have that other bigger
00:02:50idea always behind attacking
00:02:52defense industry enterprises and also those from which the Russian
00:02:55Federation makes money, so to speak. makes money.
00:02:59News.
00:03:02Six civilians died in Russia's latest air strikes on Ukrainian
00:03:05cities. In Kharkiv, a grocery store was attacked, killing
00:03:09three and wounding 20 people. Among the wounded
00:03:12are two children. The Kharkiv prosecutor's office was also hit. No
00:03:16one was injured there. A thermal power plant was also attacked, despite
00:03:19the so-called energy truce between Russia
00:03:23and Ukraine, which US President Donald Trump announced
00:03:26yesterday.
00:03:29Russia interfered in the United Kingdom's Brexit vote ten
00:03:32years ago, said UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
00:03:36I asked the question coming into Downing Street,
00:03:38well was there
00:03:41interference in the 2016 referendum from
00:03:45Russia and I've had the clear answer that yes there was and these things are
00:03:48important now to put clearly on the
00:03:51record and I believe help voters in
00:03:55Germany and France understand that some of this
00:03:58politics is in. instigated
00:04:01via - our enemies, namely uh Russia. I think we've
00:04:05been too much on the back foot on that actually, and we haven't informed people
00:04:08sufficiently about the extent to which people are are seeking
00:04:12to um to disrupt the political process from
00:04:15overseas.
00:04:17Back to home and the weather. Today it will be mostly cloudy, with clearings
00:04:21around the Gulf of Livonia and in Southern Estonia. It will rain and occasionally heavy rain, and
00:04:24there may be thunderstorms in the morning. The wind will be variable
00:04:28from 1 to 6 m/s. On the northern coast, the wind will be easterly and northeasterly
00:04:327-13 m/s, with gusts up to 18 m/s.
00:04:35The air temperature will remain between 8 and 13
00:05:08quickly say that we had to lift him with the ramp into the warehouse. And
00:05:12through the warehouse, we came here to the Terevisioon studio, and here we are
00:05:16again, and Heiki and
00:05:18Hendra. Let's talk about it, you are the
00:05:21initiators of this wheelchair parkour, meaning that you are
00:05:25seriously concerned that it is very difficult
00:05:28to get into buildings with a wheelchair. Hendra, how many stories do you have
00:05:32about being stuck outside the door?
00:05:36It has happened, but not too often, because
00:05:39there is always a solution, sometimes people
00:05:42get stuck because they panic when they see that I am somewhere
00:05:46behind a door and I want to come in too, but obviously there are
00:05:49some inaccessible so-called
00:05:52elements at the door, then
00:05:56usually what helps is communication, that you talk it through
00:05:59with the person organizing the event, or wherever
00:06:02you want to get in, that hey, there's always an option, even
00:06:06through the back door, like here, we came in from the warehouse, so
00:06:10it's not that the building is inaccessible.
00:06:13"but you have to do a little parkour sometimes to get in or
00:06:17then come another time, so it's not
00:06:20really that I've been stuck outside the door too much, even. Well, that sounds
00:06:23nice, Erki, is it more of a problem with old buildings or also with new
00:06:27buildings that you can't get in with a wheelchair, because I understand that you, Hendra,
00:06:31as a companion, walk on two legs and sometimes have to be very physically
00:06:34strong to really push us onto the ramp
00:06:38this morning, because the incline was very steep, and no, that happens everywhere,
00:06:42that, uh, of course, it happens more often with old buildings,
00:06:45but it also happens with new buildings, that, uh, until now, the awareness
00:06:49in our society about accessibility is quite low, and that is also
00:06:53the goal of our social media platform channel,
00:06:56to raise general awareness. Actually, we have all the standards in place, we have
00:06:59everything written down on paper, but for some reason, it hasn't reached people. I just thought that
00:07:03we've been talking about this for, well, I don't want to say for the last five years, but rather
00:07:07for the last perhaps 20 years, right? But the results are still
00:07:10meager, you feel it yourself. Yes, I am, yes, I
00:07:14constantly hear about accessibility being discussed, but
00:07:18usually it is thought that it is a very complicated
00:07:21journey to make something accessible. We simply,
00:07:25I don't know, young and reckless people just, let's just make
00:07:28ramps there, let's talk to the building owner and
00:07:32we have already taken the first steps in accessibility, you know,
00:07:35at Möku, at the TV Tower,
00:07:38at Uus Laine, in places where festivals and events take place.
00:07:41"So it's not really that complicated, you just
00:07:45have to get the word out sometimes, mm-hmm, so,
00:07:48yes, you had a good example with the Viljandi Folk, yes,
00:07:52it was, we went to the Viljandi Folk and there was a stage
00:07:56in a church, I think, and then there was a long, long ramp, everything was well
00:07:59made, but there was a small step on the ramp, which shows
00:08:03well, that, uh, that everything was thought through by the architect, but the builder, for example,
00:08:07wasn't, so there was a lack of awareness on that part, but at the same time, it was funny that as soon as we
00:08:10went to look for these things, well..." "I panicked and went inside, started looking for
00:08:14planks, you know, stuff, found a person, came out, and Hendra was already upstairs, waving
00:08:18at me, oh, the problem was already solved, the problem was already solved, so four
00:08:21big men lifted her up from there, mm-hmm, but that wheelchair is pretty heavy
00:08:25to lift, right? It's 200 kg, plus me, yes, four
00:08:28men, well, you don't carry it up the stairs to the fifth floor, yes, impossible, impossible, yes,
00:08:32mm-hmm, we haven't done that, but or not yet,
00:08:36maybe that's my goal, mm-hmm, yes, you talk to
00:08:39architects too, what they should think about and?" " what
00:08:42to pay attention to, do they look at you with surprised faces, oh, really, they hadn't thought
00:08:46of it themselves, Hendra mm yes, actually
00:08:50Erki can tell you more about it, that
00:08:54basically, architects, well, we weren't taught in school, at least, and there
00:08:58isn't really a separate subject, so Hendri and I thought, oh, let's do it ourselves,
00:09:01right? You have to start with the foundations,
00:09:04right? So that architects need to know, builders need to know, property maintenance,
00:09:08then all these different foundations are in place, so then they can probably move forward
00:09:12and... it's very important that it's done very practically, not as a dry lecture,
00:09:15and experienced firsthand, similarly, we create social media
00:09:19channels precisely because it's so fun, because for decades
00:09:22it's been seen that the thing doesn't work, that it's always such a sad and taboo
00:09:25topic, no one wants to talk about it, but it's also a little embarrassing, well, how could we not
00:09:29have thought about a person in a wheelchair wanting to come too, eyes are cast down,
00:09:33right? But if we haven't thought about it, then let's start thinking quickly, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, and then I
00:09:37think if we talk about everything happily, then you still think back that good
00:09:41things always stay in your memory longer. "And people actually want, our social media channel has shown
00:09:44that if it's joyful, people follow more and then start thinking along
00:09:48with it, yes, exactly, that actually I've talked so much about accessibility,
00:09:52but after a couple of years of talking about it, I thought
00:09:56that nothing was changing, so I thought, let's just do it ourselves,
00:09:59ask the building owner for permission and
00:10:02build it ourselves, so that we just make the first prototype, so
00:10:06that people can see what it's for and how much bigger their
00:10:10clientele can get, then actually we get quite a lot." We get
00:10:13DMs on Instagram, how someone,
00:10:17just recently, it was also that she finished
00:10:2012th grade and then she was in a wheelchair and then she went to celebrate
00:10:23with her classmates for the last time in Möku, where we made
00:10:27it accessible, so it affects
00:11:55"appeals
00:11:57that the rehabilitation reform is currently being put on hold, that it is really being discussed
00:12:01whether the implementation of this reform will make life
00:12:03better for those people who need it, who will get help,
00:12:07who need to get help, and Ellemaa, head of the Rakvere Doctors' Society, and
00:12:11Marja Krais Leosk, Executive Director of the Estonian Chamber of Disabled People, are on television this morning, good
00:12:15morning, good, good morning, the government has already
00:12:18approved it, right, this matter has gone to the Riigikogu,
00:12:21but looking at it from your perspective, do you understand what the problems are
00:12:25when you meet with those people? It's not all very well written
00:12:28down. Let's start. Yes, uh, if you look at it
00:12:32from the perspective of general practitioners, we have many questions and suggestions that,
00:12:36in our opinion, have remained unresolved throughout the entire
00:12:39involvement process so far, and it seems that,
00:12:42despite the apology that this reform has been prepared for six or seven
00:12:45years, they are still trying to do things very quickly,
00:12:49very hastily, in such a way that the nuances are genuinely
00:12:53unresolved. Well, the goal is noble, of course, that no one drowns in
00:12:56bureaucracy and that those people who need help get exactly
00:13:00the help they truly need, but that doesn't shine through, or
00:13:04is such a goal achievable with the current description, as it is written
00:13:08there? Well, just like general practitioners, we also have
00:13:11the same question, that there are still many
00:13:14open questions, and the devil is in the details, which is why it is necessary
00:13:18to actually discuss the details in detail, because otherwise,
00:13:22we will adopt this major reform plan
00:13:25without knowing what awaits us
00:13:27in the future. From the perspective of general practitioners, there will be more bureaucracy,
00:13:31and general practitioners will also have to start checking whether that person
00:13:35needs rehabilitation, what kind of
00:13:37specialists they need, but this is like duplicating control,
00:13:41general practitioners shouldn't actually have to do that, do I understand correctly if I just
00:13:44described that line very simply now? Very simply
00:13:47put, yes, that if today the prerequisite
00:13:50for receiving rehabilitation services is a disability, right, which
00:13:53they now want to remove, which is a positive thing, so that
00:13:57people can more easily access rehabilitation services, that is, what
00:14:00they need to cope. Now it is found that
00:14:04in addition to the assessor of rehabilitation service needs,
00:14:07a general practitioner stage should be added, which in our
00:14:10opinion is not sensible, because there would be in addition, yes, well,
00:14:14today, in broad terms, in today's system, it is replaced
00:14:17by the document round
00:14:20and the role of the Social Insurance Board, right, so in broad terms, that would be transferred
00:14:23to the general practitioner, who would be the first filter to see if they can even
00:14:27proceed, and for us, it seems unreasonable because if a person
00:14:30comes to me who obviously has a need and
00:14:34interest in these rehabilitation services to
00:14:37cope better in life, then why should I say that they
00:14:40don't need them and that I won't let you go to the assessor who
00:14:44will then make the final decision as to whether and what services they will receive? Well, and with this
00:14:48comes the question of who will pay for all this, then there will be
00:14:51extra working hours, so there are as you said, the devil... in the details, so
00:14:55all this will come in a row
00:14:58additionally. Yes, we have a feeling that the calculations that have been made
00:15:02in the explanatory memorandum of the bill are too optimistic, meaning
00:15:06that the calculations have been made according to the current system, where
00:15:10a disability is a prerequisite for these services,
00:15:12but actually, if it happens that people receive services
00:15:16according to their needs, then there are significantly more people who
00:15:20would need these services, and they also have easier access, meaning
00:15:23that work will definitely increase... Well, for some, the question arises, what does
00:15:26this mean, no longer needing a disability or? Uh, a disability is,
00:15:30well, not necessarily needed, but to access services, it is actually
00:15:33reasonable that we don't use it as a filter, because
00:15:36uh... and applying for that disability, determining it, that already
00:15:40takes its time, and is it really our goal that people
00:15:43absolutely must have a disability to receive rehabilitation services, or
00:15:46could we actually prevent that with rehabilitation services,
00:15:49so that idea is good in that sense, and
00:15:53we definitely welcome that,
00:15:56that do we have the people who then provide these different services, meaning
00:16:00different people, people with different disabilities, people with different needs also
00:16:04need different specialists to assist and help them? "Is it
00:16:07foreseen in this reform and understood that
00:16:11we actually have and ensured that we have these people
00:16:14who help those in need? Today, we naturally
00:16:17have rehabilitation service providers, but this is one of
00:16:21the concerns of the Estonian Chamber of Disabled People, too, whether
00:16:24as this reform is planned today, that the Health Insurance Fund
00:16:28or the Health Board has large contract partners, and whether
00:16:31smaller so-called providers will become contract partners
00:16:34of these large contract partners, because the expertise of these
00:16:37small specialized rehabilitation service
00:16:40providers and competence is something
00:16:44that is not easily found in Estonia,
00:16:47for example, rehabilitation for the blind,
00:16:50hard of hearing, people with aphasia, that today, actually,
00:16:54these people receive the necessary
00:16:57rehabilitation services from precisely these small
00:17:01institutions, but these small institutions may be left out by this reform
00:17:05if they don't become so-called subcontractors.
00:17:10Exactly, that's it, and that's a very big concern from our point of view, that there's
00:17:14no guarantee today. We have also proposed that
00:17:18there be some kind of protection mechanisms for this, or that
00:17:21some resources be planned as a reserve, that would be meant
00:17:24specifically for these people, but but today, we actually still have
00:17:28discussions ongoing, and we also have meetings at the ministry today, so
00:17:31we'll see what comes out of that, and if there could also
00:17:34be more people in need with this reform? Then the question still
00:17:38arises, do we have these specialists
00:17:40then? Yes, that could also be a justified question, that on the one
00:17:44hand, we are opening the door to more people, on the other hand, we
00:17:48assume in the bill or explanatory memorandum that some
00:17:51people who are currently in the system might not
00:17:55need it, and that the total amount might remain the same or increase
00:17:58slightly, but yes, I agree with
00:18:01general practitioners that there is such a positive view
00:18:05of the numbers, which we, which we look at perhaps with... skepticism.
00:18:09Financial savings, well, politicians usually always say we save money with reforms,
00:18:12you know, I have a feeling that with this reform, they don't even say
00:18:16that we are saving money, they even show a small increase
00:18:20in this matter, but if we think like this, that, uh,
00:18:24through the Social Insurance Board in today's
00:18:27system, the price of a physiotherapist is one third, in broad
00:18:31terms, of what it is at the Health Insurance Fund's price, right? Then these
00:18:34prices will increase according to the Health Insurance Fund's price list, meaning
00:18:37that basically, if today three people received this
00:18:41physiotherapy, then in the future, only one will, right? Uh, which is, well,
00:18:45again, it depends on which side you look at it from, from the service provider's perspective, it's reasonable, right,
00:18:48that a fair price is paid to the person who provides
00:18:52that physiotherapy, but then again, two people might not receive
00:18:56that service. That also means, I understand, right, that the whole
00:19:00thing goes under the Health Insurance Fund and its price list, and it will
00:19:04be more expensive, yes, yes, yes,
00:19:15so from healthcare, social services, some from local government, then actually
00:19:19it would suit us very well if this unified system emerges,
00:19:22wherever it will be exactly located,
00:19:26but it also has to work well both on paper and
00:19:29in reality, and these prices can also differ in the sense that, well,
00:19:33if it's an educational special need or some other thing,
00:19:36then, well... I don't know, a psychologist's or speech therapist's service can also be
00:19:40at a different price? Uh, currently, it's simply that, uh,
00:19:43the state pays one price through the Social Insurance Board
00:19:47and another price through the Health Insurance Fund. And this naturally creates
00:19:51tensions in service provision, that whose contract partner you
00:19:54primarily want to be or whose order you want to fulfill, well, of course, from where you
00:19:58get a better price. And actually, now the different
00:20:02organizations that have all made these appeals, you want
00:20:06the second reading in the Riigikogu to be suspended and for the substantive side
00:20:10of this reform to be reviewed, well, broadly speaking, that the second reading be postponed
00:20:14to that stage, where all
00:20:16the problem areas that different organizations have highlighted
00:20:20are resolved, so that this reform would truly be a reform
00:20:24that looks at the person, where there are no
00:20:27unreasonable expenses, unreasonable
00:20:29time consumption on the part of any party, so that it would really
00:20:32be something from which everyone would benefit. Well, the ministry
00:20:35might ask, where have you been all this time? Constantly in discussions
00:20:39with them, so they certainly can't ask us,
00:20:43that, uh, we are not coming here for the first time to television or the Riigikogu to talk about problems,
00:20:46on the contrary, we have always been actively involved, so that..." "raised the same issues
00:20:50and even expressed opinions when not asked, mm-hmm,
00:20:54then I would like to ask, why
00:20:58have these opinions and these suggestions not been taken into account at all, so that you are
00:21:01still in a position where you have to raise your voice loudly again,
00:21:05yes, that's how it is and that's how it has
00:21:08actually often been with various involvements, right, on the one hand, the art of so-called
00:21:12compromise, on the other hand, it's also that you can't
00:21:15reform if you don't actually necessarily make things
00:21:18better, so that..." "We see that there are places where, with a little tweaking,
00:21:22things would definitely improve, mm-hmm, and we want a good thing, actually, well,
00:21:26always, exactly, thank you for coming this morning, don't lose
00:21:44it's seven in the morning and the incessant deer concert
00:21:47has lasted all night, that..." "What was done in the pitch-dark
00:21:51forest, only the deer themselves know, but this
00:21:54concert continues with the same intensity in the
00:21:57morning.
00:22:05Leo, I'm really surprised by the energy with which they do it all
00:22:09night, how long does this concert last anyway?
00:22:12Well, the rutting season lasts about a month to
00:22:15a month and a half, depending on the weather,
00:22:18that, uh, they expend a tremendous amount of energy, those bulls. Do you
00:22:22ever see them fighting, have you
00:22:25seen them actually engage in physical
00:22:28combat? Yes, yes, and this fighting is
00:22:32very common, and in that sense, if you observe their activities for a longer
00:22:35period, these fighting moments occur every
00:22:38uh 10 to 15 minutes,
00:22:42so, but the structure of deer antlers
00:22:45is such that they shouldn't injure themselves when fighting. Does a new
00:22:49male sometimes get a harem and the old
00:22:52one has to retreat? Well, that time
00:22:56inevitably comes for all the older alpha
00:23:00males, and these guys are definitely broken
00:23:03men, that when they lose to the younger generation, they
00:23:07sulk in the corner of the field at some point and
00:23:10fade away.
00:23:22guest, Kristo Juhanson from the Defence Resources Agency, to talk about this,
00:23:26hello, uh, that right now is the time when
00:23:29the health of conscripts is being checked and our
00:23:32conversation is prompted by the
00:23:34investigative work of Õhtuleht,
00:23:36that famous rally driver Paul Aron has
00:23:39avoided a medical examination and even received a
00:23:43fine, which was paid, uh
00:23:46Krista, why are conscripts... "which
00:23:50conscripts are being checked now and what are
00:23:54you checking?" Good morning, well,
00:23:57we check the health of recruits before
00:24:01starting military service and
00:24:04we invite them throughout the year to
00:24:07health assessments and I am very happy that many young people are
00:24:10aware, they are health- conscious, they want to come
00:24:13to the health assessment themselves and also
00:24:17book an appointment for it themselves. So what do you check?".
00:24:21Uh, I might explain this health assessment a little
00:24:24bit more, we have made it as convenient
00:24:28and time-saving for the young person as possible, first
00:24:31of all, the doctor assesses the young person's
00:24:33health based on the data available
00:24:37in the health portal and if the doctor can now decide based
00:24:41on the data that the young person does not meet health requirements
00:24:45or temporarily does not meet health requirements, he can make that decision
00:24:48immediately. "without having to call the young person
00:24:52for an on-site examination, if the young person
00:24:55comes to the health assessment
00:24:59on-site, then they will meet our three
00:25:02doctors, they will definitely meet a psychiatrist,
00:25:06another doctor assesses general health and
00:25:09the third doctor is either an orthopedist or
00:25:13a surgeon and the whole health assessment
00:25:17process takes some time." and
00:25:21if additional examinations are needed, then
00:25:24those must also be completed. So, if your health is fine, then the next day
00:25:27you're in the army? Yes, I will also
00:25:31explain that there is a slight misconception that when a young person
00:25:34comes for a health assessment, then a decision about their military
00:25:37service is made immediately, that is not how it is,
00:25:41the health assessment, as the name suggests,
00:25:44during which we only assess health and everything that
00:25:47concerns the assignment to military service, that... is now
00:25:50the next stage after some time, so for that, our
00:25:54military service planner will contact the young person and agree
00:25:57on the details of starting military service. What is
00:26:00the health of young Estonian men?
00:26:03"If we look at our data, then
00:26:06at the health assessment, approximately
00:26:09half of young people meet health
00:26:11requirements. Now the remaining quarter temporarily do not meet
00:26:15health requirements, this means, well, they have
00:26:18a bad mood or, uh, I don't know, what
00:26:22temporarily, this means that they get an extension to treat a health
00:26:25problem, as these health problems can be varied and the last quarter
00:26:29are those who do not meet health requirements. Permanently,
00:26:33permanently, has this changed over time? Half
00:26:36are, uh, fit for the army, so to speak, that's a pretty
00:26:40small number, so what does that show, that
00:26:43those who do not meet health requirements, that
00:26:47they mostly have either behavioral or
00:26:50mental disorders or musculoskeletal
00:26:52diseases, so these are the main
00:26:56diagnoses. So,
00:26:59you get a call, come to the medical commission. Uh, to the medical
00:27:03commission, I might be using such Soviet-era
00:27:07expressions, I remember when we went to the polyclinic for adolescents
00:27:10for a check-up and then to the next place
00:27:14where, uh, people went to the army. Uh, you get a call
00:27:17and you don't come, how can
00:27:21would actually prefer a situation where we don't have to force
00:27:24young people at all, but that young people come voluntarily for a health
00:27:28assessment. If a young person doesn't come and doesn't show up, then
00:27:31of course... "we contact the young person, try to explain to them
00:27:34that this is a legal obligation
00:27:38and give them the opportunity to come next time.
00:27:41However, if we see that this pattern is
00:27:44recurring and the young person continuously ignores their legal
00:27:48obligation to appear for a health assessment. Yes, indeed,
00:27:51then we issue a precept with a fine
00:27:54warning. How large is the fine? The maximum fine
00:27:57is 640 euros, but even here we always
00:28:01weigh. Uh, the circumstances
00:28:04of each case and we do not immediately set
00:28:08the maximum amount, e.g. what interesting or what
00:28:11justified these refusals are, why
00:28:15can't they come on time? Yes, predominantly, the problem
00:28:19is either that they are abroad or that
00:28:22they are ill, but
00:28:25the reason must still be compelling, because if we are talking
00:28:28about being abroad, then generally it is possible
00:28:31to... series, because for the health assessment we
00:28:35send out the invitation at least a month in advance, so
00:28:38the young person can plan their time, but it is completely
00:28:41understandable that unforeseen situations can happen to all of us,
00:28:45so my appeal here is that if
00:28:48a young person cannot come for the health assessment,
00:28:52please contact us and we will find a new
00:28:56opportunity to participate in the assessment together, so don't
00:28:59let it get out of hand. I understand that not every time is the fine
00:29:04more effective, or do I understand that the famous
00:29:07rally young man almost had his driving license
00:29:11revoked, so he couldn't drive a car on city streets,
00:29:14what are the other coercive measures that you
00:29:17use? Yes, I won't talk about that specific recruit
00:29:21now, but if we see that even the fine, which is also
00:29:24a persuasive measure, does not yield the desired
00:29:28result and the young person continues to ignore the obligation,
00:29:31yes, indeed. Then we also have the right to
00:29:35suspend the right to rights, for example to suspend driving
00:29:39rights, but I still want to say that our
00:29:43goal is not to punish, but our goal
00:29:46is still to support the young person in fulfilling
00:29:49their obligation. I understand that this year you have made as many as 57
00:29:53applications for the suspension of driving licenses and it goes through the
00:29:56court, right, but what if a person is at the peak
00:30:00of their career right now as a young person, uh. I don't know, a good
00:30:03cellist or ballet dancer or rally boy,
00:30:07that, uh, do you give extensions
00:30:11also for non-health reasons, but so that the career is not
00:30:14interrupted? Well, such an extension is not really foreseen,
00:30:17however, my appeal to young people is
00:30:21that the sooner you start planning military
00:30:23service and we are, uh, with our
00:30:27office in
00:30:29dialogue, the better it is for us too... "or the easier it is
00:30:33also possible, the easier it is for us to also schedule
00:30:36that military service, so of course, if we can meet, then
00:30:40we take the circumstances into account and find a
00:30:43solution together and then we also try to schedule
00:30:47that military service or also health assessment, but there are no
00:30:50such things in Estonia, that, I don't know, uh, a respected musician
00:30:53who has delicate fingers, so they would rather not
00:30:57go, uh, to the army, because uh, then..."
