00:00:00you are the leaders of this wheelchair parkour, which means
00:00:04that you have a serious concern that it is still very
00:00:07difficult to get into rooms, into a house, with a wheelchair.
00:00:11Hendra, how many such stories do you have where you have been left
00:00:13outside the door? Hmm, it has happened, but not
00:00:17too much, because there is always a solution.
00:00:21Sometimes people get stuck because they panic
00:00:24when they see that I am somewhere behind a door and I also want to get in, but
00:00:28obviously there is some kind of inaccessible
00:00:31so-called elements there by the door,
00:00:34then usually what helps is communication,
00:00:38that you talk to the person who is organizing the event,
00:00:41or anywhere you want to get in, that hey, there is always some
00:00:45option, even through the back door, like here, we came in from the warehouse,
00:00:49so it's not like that the building is inaccessible,
00:00:52exactly, but you have to
do a little parkour sometimes to get
00:00:56in, or just come next time, so that doesn't
00:00:59happen. that I have been left outside the door too many times, no, that
00:01:03sounds nice. Erki, is this more a problem of old buildings or also in new
00:01:07buildings, that you can't get in with a wheelchair, because
00:01:10force them? Yes, we I understand that you, as Hendra's companion, walk on two feet and sometimes you have to be very physically
00:01:14strong to actually push, even this morning,
00:01:17onto the ramp, because the incline was very steep, and and no, that happens
00:01:21everywhere, that of course it happens more when
00:01:25there are old buildings, but it also happens in new buildings, that so far the awareness
00:01:29in our society about accessibility is quite low, and that is also
00:01:32the goal of our social media platform channel,
00:01:36to raise overall awareness. Actually, we have all the standards, we have
00:01:39everything written down on paper, but for some reason it hasn't reached people. I just thought that we
00:01:43have been talking about this for, well, I don't want to say for the last five years,
00:01:47but for the last 20 years, right, but the results are scarce,
00:01:51you feel it yourself, Hendra, yeah, I am, yes, I
00:01:54constantly hear that accessibility is being talked about, but
00:01:57usually people think it's such a...
00:02:01uh, difficult journey to make something accessible, we just,
00:02:04I don't know, young wild people just, let's just make
00:02:07ramps there, let's talk to the building owner, and we
00:02:11have already taken the first steps towards accessibility at
00:02:15Möku Baar, the TV Tower,
00:02:17Uus Laine, in such
00:02:28yes, you had... a good example with Viljandi Folk, yes,
00:02:32yes, we went to Viljandi Folk and there was a stage in a church
00:02:36I think, and then there was a long, long ramp, everything was well made, but
00:02:40there was a small step in the ramp, which really shows that
00:02:43uh, that everything was thought through by the architect, but the builder, for example, wasn't, so there was a lack of
00:02:47awareness from that side, but at the same time it was funny that as soon as we went looking
00:02:51for those things, that well, I went into the storage and started looking for planks, you know, stuff,
00:02:55I found a person, I came out, then Hendra was already up there, waving at me, oh,
00:02:59the problem was already solved. The problem was already solved, that some four big men lifted you up
00:03:02from there, mhm, and that wheelchair is quite heavy to lift, right, it's 200
00:03:06kg, plus me, yes, four men, well, you can't carry it up to the fifth
00:03:09floor by stairs, yes, impossible, impossible, yes, mhm, we haven't
00:03:13done that, but is it true, not yet, maybe that's
00:03:16my goal, mhm, yes, you also talk to
00:03:19architects, what they should think about and what
00:03:22to pay attention to, do they look at you with surprised faces, like, oh, really, never occurred
00:03:36we weren't, and actually there isn't such a separate subject, so Hendra and I
00:03:40thought, oh, let's do it ourselves, right, you have to start from those foundations,
00:03:44right, that architects need to know, builders need to know, property
00:03:47maintenance, then all those different foundations are there, so then they can probably
00:03:51move forward and it's really important that it's done very practically, not as a dry
00:03:54lecture, and that it's experienced firsthand, similarly we are making
00:03:58a social media channel precisely for that reason, in a very fun way, because for decades
00:04:01it has been seen that it doesn't work, that it's always such a sad and taboo
00:04:05topic, no one wants to talk about it, but it's also a bit embarrassing, well, how could we not have
00:04:09thought that a person in a wheelchair also wants to come, eyes are cast down,
00:04:12right, but if we haven't thought about it, then let's start thinking quickly, mhm, and then
00:04:16I think that's it, let's talk about it all in a fun way, then still, when you think back,
00:04:20good things always stay in mind longer and people actually want, our
00:04:23social media channel has shown very well that when it's joyful, people follow more and then
00:04:27they start thinking along with it, yes, exactly, that actually I... I have also
00:04:30talked so much about accessibility, but after
00:04:33a couple of years of talking about it, I thought that nothing changes from it,
00:04:37we just thought, let's just do it ourselves, let's ask for permission
00:04:40from the building owner and build it ourselves, that
00:04:44we just make the first prototype, so that people would even see what it's needed for and how
00:04:48much, how much bigger their clientele can become, then actually we
00:04:51get quite a lot of DMs on Instagram, how
00:04:55someone just recently was also, that he finished
00:04:5812th grade. and then he was in a wheelchair and then he went for the last
00:05:02time with his classmates to celebrate at that place
00:05:05Möku Baar, which we made accessible, so it affects so
00:06:34appeals,
00:06:36that the rehabilitation reform is currently being put on hold, it is really
00:06:40being discussed whether the implementation of this reform
00:06:43will make life better for those people who need it, who receive help,
00:06:47who must receive help, and Hellemaa, the head of the Rakvere doctors' association, and
00:06:51Marja Krais Leosk, the executive director of the Estonian Chamber of Disabled People, are on television this morning. Good
00:06:55morning. Hello, good morning. Well, the government has already approved it,
00:06:58right? This matter has gone to the Riigikogu, but
00:07:01with these people and understand what
00:07:05the problems are, everything is not very well
00:07:08written down. Let's start. Yes, if you look
00:07:12from the doctors' side, then we have a lot of questions and proposals, which in our
00:07:16opinion have remained unresolved so far throughout this involvement process,
00:07:19and it seems that, uh, despite
00:07:22the excuse that this reform has been prepared for six, seven years,
00:07:26they are still trying to do things very quickly, very hastily,
00:07:30in such a way that the nuances are truly
00:07:32unresolved. Well, the goal is noble, really, that no one would drown
00:07:36in this bureaucracy and that those people who need help would receive exactly
00:07:39the help they truly need. but it doesn't
00:07:43shine through from there, does it? Is such a goal not achievable with such a description as
00:07:47it is written there now? Well, just like with family doctors, we also
00:07:51have the same question, that there are still many open
00:07:54points, and the devil is in the details, which is why the details
00:07:58need to be discussed thoroughly, because otherwise it means that we
00:08:01adopt this large reform plan,
00:08:04without knowing what actually awaits us
00:08:07in the future. From the perspective of family doctors, more bureaucracy will be added, and
00:08:11family doctors will also have to start doing this check, whether this
00:08:14person needs rehabilitation, what kind of
00:08:17specialists they need, but this is like doubling the control,
00:08:20family doctors shouldn't actually have to do that, do I understand correctly if I have now very
00:08:24simply described that line now? Simply
00:08:27put, yes, that if today the
00:08:29prerequisite for receiving rehabilitation services is a disability, right, which
00:08:33they now want to remove from the middle, which is a positive thing, so that
00:08:36people can more easily access rehabilitation services, i.e., what they
00:08:40need to cope, now
00:08:42it is found that in addition to the assessor of the need for rehabilitation services,
00:08:46a family doctor stage should be added, which in our
00:08:50opinion is not reasonable, because that would be in addition, in addition there would be
00:08:54yes, well, broadly speaking, in today's system, this is replaced by
00:08:57the document round and
00:08:59the role of the Social Insurance Board, right, so that broadly speaking, this would then be put
00:09:03to the family doctor, who would be the first filter, whether they even get
00:09:06through, and for us it seems unreasonable because if a person
00:09:10comes to me, who
00:09:12clearly has a need and interest in these rehabilitation
00:09:16services, to cope better in life, then why should I say
00:09:19that they don't need them and that I won't let you go
00:09:23to the assessor, who will then make the final decision on whether and what services
00:09:26they will receive, well, and this immediately brings up the question of who pays for all of this, then
00:09:30there will be additional working hours, so as you said,
00:09:34the devil is in the details, so all this
00:09:37will come in a row, yes, we have a feeling that
00:09:40the calculations made in the
00:09:43explanatory memorandum of the bill are too optimistic, meaning
00:09:46that the calculations have been made according to today's system, where a
00:09:49disability is a prerequisite for these services, but
00:09:52actually, when it comes to people receiving
00:09:56services according to their needs, there are significantly more people
00:09:59who would need these services, and they also have easier access, meaning
00:10:02that work will definitely increase. Well, some people are already asking what
00:10:06this means, is a disability no longer needed, or uh, is a disability
00:10:10necessary, but in order to access services... it is actually reasonable that we do not
00:10:14make it a filter, because, uh, applying for
00:10:17that disability, identifying it, that already takes its time, and do we
00:10:21actually aim for people to necessarily have a disability so that they... reach,
00:10:25or can we actually prevent it with rehabilitation
00:10:28services, meaning that idea is good in that sense
00:10:32and we definitely welcome it, that, uh,
00:10:36do we have those people who then offer these different
00:10:39services, meaning that different people, people with different disabilities, with different needs
00:10:43also need different specialists to assist and
00:10:46help them, is it foreseen in this reform
00:10:49and understood that we actually have and ensured that
00:10:53we have these people who help
00:10:55those in need? We naturally have rehabilitation service
00:10:59providers today, but this is one of the concerns of the Estonian Chamber of Disabled People
00:11:02as well, that whether, as this reform is planned
00:11:06today, that the Health Insurance Fund or the Health Board has large
00:11:09contract partners, and whether smaller ones, so to speak, will reach
00:11:13to be contract partners of these large contract partners, because the
00:11:16competence and expertise of these small specialized rehabilitation service
00:11:20providers is still something that
00:11:23is very difficult to find in Estonia,
00:11:27if we take, for example, rehabilitation for the
00:11:30blind, hearing impaired, people with
00:11:33aphasia, that today, actually, these people
00:11:36receive the necessary rehabilitation services from precisely these
00:11:40small institutions, but these small institutions might now be left
00:11:43out by this reform if they don't become subcontractors,
00:11:47then the hospital tells them, yes, we'll take you into our list, that's exactly right,
00:11:51and that's a very big concern from our perspective, that there is
00:11:54no guarantee for that today, we
00:11:57have also proposed that there should be some protective mechanisms for this
00:12:00or that some funds should be planned as a reserve, that would be meant
00:12:04specifically for these people, but, but today we still have
00:12:07discussions ongoing and also today there are still meetings in the ministry, so
00:12:11let's see what comes out of that, and if there could also be more
00:12:15such people in need with this reform, then the question still arises,
00:12:18do we have these specialists then? Yes, that may
00:12:22also be a justified question, that on the one hand, we are opening the door
00:12:26to more people, on the other hand, we think, so to speak, in the
00:12:29bill or explanatory memorandum, that some people who are in the system today
00:12:33may not need it, and that perhaps the
00:12:36total will remain the same or increase slightly, but yes, I agree
00:12:39with the family doctors that there is
00:12:42such a positive view of the numbers, which we, which
00:12:46we look at perhaps with skepticism.
00:12:48Financial savings, politicians usually always say, we save money with reforms,
00:12:52you know, I have a feeling that with this... they don't even
00:12:55say that we are saving money, they even show
00:12:58a small increase for this matter, but
00:13:02if we think that through the Social Insurance
00:13:05Board in today's system, the price of a physiotherapist
00:13:08is roughly one third of what it is with the Health Insurance Fund's
00:13:12price, right, then these prices will rise according to the Health Insurance Fund's
00:13:16price list, meaning basically, if
00:13:19today three people received this physiotherapy, then in the future
00:13:22one will, right, uh, which is?
00:13:25Well, again, it depends on which side you look at it from, from the service provider's perspective it's reasonable, right,
00:13:28that a fair price is paid to the one who
00:13:31provides this physiotherapy, but again on the other hand, two people might
00:13:35not receive this service, that also means, do I understand correctly, that
00:13:39the entire package will then fall under the Health Insurance Fund and everything will then
00:13:43happen according to its price list, and that is more expensive,
00:13:46yes, yes, it is more expensive, and, but at the same time, we see that since the system
00:13:50today is actually very fragmented, that one person can receive these
00:13:53different therapy services from healthcare, social services, some
00:13:57from local government, then actually it would suit us very well if this unified
00:14:01nest is created, wherever it then exactly
00:14:04becomes payable, but simply, that it must also work well
00:14:07both on paper and in reality, and these prices
00:14:11can also differ in the sense that, well, if there is an educational special need or
00:14:14some other thing, then, I don't know, a psychologist's or
00:14:18speech therapist's service can also have a different price, now it is
00:14:21simply in this way that, uh, the state pays one price
00:14:25through the Social Insurance Board, and another price through
00:14:29the Health Insurance Fund, and this naturally also creates tensions in service provision,
00:14:33that, uh, whose contract partner you primarily want to be or whose
00:14:36order to fulfill, so of course from where you are still offered
00:14:40a better price, and currently now the various organizations, all of you
00:14:44who have made these appeals, you want this second reading in the Riigikogu to be stopped
00:14:48and the substantive part of this reform to actually be reviewed. Well, broadly speaking,
00:14:51to postpone this second reading to that stage
00:14:55where all the problematic areas that various
00:14:58organizations have pointed out are resolved, so that this
00:15:02reform would truly be a reform that looks at the
00:15:05person, where there are no unreasonable expenses, unreasonable
00:15:09time consumption from any party, so that it would still be
00:15:12something that everyone would win from. Well, the ministry
00:15:15might ask, where have you been all this time, constantly in discussions
00:15:19with them, so they certainly cannot ask us
00:15:22that we are not coming here for the first time today, that we are coming to television
00:15:26or the Riigikogu and start talking about problems, on the contrary, we have always been actively involved and raised these same issues,
00:15:30and even expressed our opinion when it
00:15:34wasn't asked, mhm, then I would like to ask, that... then
00:15:37those opinions and those references have not been taken into
00:15:40account at all, that you are still in a position where you have to make a loud, loud voice
00:15:44again, yes, that's right, and that's how it
00:15:48has actually often been with various involvements, right, on the one hand
00:15:51it's the art of compromise, on the other hand it's also that you can't
00:15:54just, that why reform if you might not
00:15:58make things better at all, that we see that there are places where by a little
00:16:01tweaking, things would definitely get better, mhm, and we want a good thing,
00:18:02guest in the studio, Kristo Juhanson from the Defence Resources Agency, to talk about it,
00:18:05hello, uh. "Right now is the time when
00:18:09the health of conscripts is being checked, and our
00:18:12discussion is prompted by Õhtuleht's
00:18:13investigative work,
00:18:16that, uh, famous rally driver Paul Aron has
00:18:19avoided medical examination and even received a
00:18:23coercive fine, which has been paid off. Uh,
00:18:26Krista, why are
00:18:28conscripts, what kind of conscripts are being
00:18:31checked now, and what are you checking? Good
00:18:35morning, that, uh, we..." We
00:18:37check the health of conscripts before
00:18:41they start military service and
00:18:43invite them throughout the year for a health
00:18:46assessment, and I am very happy that many young people are
00:18:50aware, they are health conscious, want to come
00:18:53themselves for a health assessment and also make
00:18:57an appointment for it themselves. So, what do you
00:18:58check?
00:19:01I might explain a little about this health
00:19:04assessment, we have made it as convenient
00:19:08and time-saving for young people as possible, so first of
00:19:11all, the doctor assesses the young person's
00:19:13health based on data that is
00:19:17available in the health portal, and if the doctor can decide
00:19:21based on the data that the young person does not meet health requirements or temporarily
00:19:24does not meet health requirements, they can make that decision
00:19:28immediately, without having to call the young person for
00:19:31an on-site examination, if the young
00:19:35person comes for a health
00:19:39assessment, then they meet our three
00:19:42doctors, they definitely meet a psychiatrist,
00:19:46another doctor assesses general health and
00:19:49the third doctor we have is either an orthopedist or
00:19:53a surgeon, and the entire health
00:19:56assessment process takes a few
00:19:59hours, and if additional examinations are needed,
00:20:02then those must also be completed. So, if health is in order, then
00:20:06the next day is immediately...
00:20:08to the military? Yes, I will explain that as well, that there is also a slight
00:20:12misunderstanding that when a young person comes for a health assessment,
00:20:15then a decision about military service is also made immediately, that is
00:20:19not how it is, that health assessment, as
00:20:22the name implies, uh, during which we only assess
00:20:25health, and everything that concerns assignment to military
00:20:28service, that is now the next stage, after some
00:20:31time, that for that, our military service planner will contact
00:20:35the young person and then agree on the details
00:20:37of starting military service, what is the health of Estonian
00:20:41young men? If we now look at our data,
00:20:45then in health assessment, they meet
00:20:48health requirements. "About half
00:20:51of young people, now the remaining quarter do not temporarily meet
00:20:55health requirements, this means, well, they are in a bad
00:20:58mood or, uh, I don't know, what does that mean
00:21:02temporarily, it means that they get an extension to treat a
00:21:05health condition, that these health conditions can be different, and the last
00:21:09quarter are those who do not meet health requirements permanently,
00:21:12permanently, has this changed over time, half
00:21:16are fit for army service, so to speak, that's quite a
00:21:20small number, that, uh, what does that show, that
00:21:23those who do not meet health requirements, that, uh,
00:21:26they predominantly have either behavioral or
00:21:29mental disorders or musculoskeletal
00:21:32diseases, that these are the main
00:21:35diagnoses.
00:21:38So, you come, uh, you get a summons, come to the medical
00:21:41commission, to the medical commission, I might use
00:21:44such Soviet-era expressions, I remember well when we
00:21:48went to the polyclinic for adolescents. "I was examined there and
00:21:51then and then also at the next place where
00:21:54people went into the army, uh, they get a summons and don't
00:21:57come, how can you
00:22:00would actually prefer a situation where we don't have to force the young person
00:22:04at all, but that the young person would come voluntarily for a health
00:22:07assessment. If the young person does not come and does not show up, then
00:22:11of course we contact the young person, try to explain to them
00:22:14that this is a statutory obligation
00:22:18and give them the opportunity to come next time,
00:22:21if however we see that the pattern is
00:22:24repetitive and the young person ignores their statutory
00:22:27obligation to appear for a health assessment, yes, indeed,
00:22:31then we issue a precept with a warning of a coercive
00:22:33fine. How large is that coercive fine? The maximum coercive
00:22:37fine is 640 euros, but here too, we always
00:22:41consider the circumstances of each
00:22:44case and we do not immediately
00:22:47set the maximum amount. Uh, what are the interesting or
00:22:51justified reasons for these refusals, why
00:22:55can't they come on time? Yes, predominantly the problem is
00:22:58that they are either abroad or
00:23:02they are ill, but
00:23:05the reason must still be compelling, if we are talking
00:23:08about being abroad, then generally it is possible to
00:23:11plan for it, because we send the summons for a health
00:23:14assessment at least a month in advance, so"
00:23:18a young person can plan their time, but it's completely
00:23:21understandable that we all may encounter unforeseen
00:23:24situations, so my call to action is that
00:23:28if a young person cannot come for a health assessment,
00:23:31please contact us and we will find a new
00:23:35opportunity to participate in the assessment. So don't let
00:23:38it go. I understand that the penalty fee is not always
00:23:42the most effective, or, am I right that a well-known
00:23:45rally driver's license was
00:23:48almost taken away, that he couldn't drive a car on city streets?
00:23:52What other coercive measures do you
00:23:55use? Yes, I won't talk about
00:23:59specific cases, but if we see that even the penalty fee, which is also
00:24:02a persuasive tool, doesn't achieve the desired
00:24:06result in fulfilling the obligation, and the young person continues
00:24:09to disregard the obligation, yes, indeed, then we
00:24:13also have the right to suspend
00:24:16rights, for example, to suspend driving rights.
00:24:20But I still want to say that our goal is not
00:24:23to punish, but our goal is to
00:24:26support the young person in fulfilling their obligation through cooperation. I
00:24:30understand that this year you have made as many as 57 applications to suspend driving licenses,
00:24:33and it goes through the court,
00:24:36right? But if a person is at the peak
00:24:40of their career now as a young person, I don't know,
00:24:42a good cellist or a ballet dancer or
00:24:46a rally driver, do you grant...
00:24:50an extension also not for health reasons, but because
00:24:53their career shouldn't be interrupted? Well, such an extension is not really provided
00:24:57for. However, my appeal to young people is that
00:25:01the sooner you start planning your
00:25:03military service, and we are
00:25:07in dialogue
00:25:09with our office, the better it is for us, or easier it is for us
00:25:13to schedule it, the easier it is for us to schedule that military service,
00:25:16because, of course, if we can meet you halfway... then
00:25:20we consider the circumstances and then we also find
00:25:23a solution in cooperation and we try to schedule that military service or also
00:25:27the health assessment, but there are no such things
00:25:30in Estonia, that I don't know, a respected
00:25:32musician with delicate fingers, that he rather wouldn't
00:25:36go to the army, because then
00:25:40Estonian culture would lose a brilliant
00:25:42musician. Directly, no, I really wouldn't
00:25:46contrast career building and national defense, both are important.
00:25:50And everyone's contribution to national defense
00:26:17Good morning, the clock indeed shows eight, which means it's news time again.
00:26:21Ülle Madise will be sworn in today as the President of the Republic. At
00:26:2514:15, the elected President Ülle Madise will arrive with her husband
00:26:28at Kadriorg Presidential Chancellery, where they
00:26:31will be received by President Alar Karis and Sirje Karis. From there, they will proceed
00:26:34together to the square in front of the Riigikogu building. President Alar Karis
00:26:38will greet the Guard Battalion's honor company lined up on the palace square, and
00:26:42the presidents will head to Toompea Castle. At 15:00,
00:26:45Alar Karis will deliver a speech. The elected President Ülle Madise will take
00:26:48the oath of office and deliver her first speech as president. The oath of office
00:26:52and speeches can be followed live via the Estonian Public
00:26:55Broadcasting.
00:26:57Journalist Vilja Kiisler spoke about the new president and her future
00:27:00in office on the television program. In the case of Ülle Madise,
00:27:04it should be highlighted primarily that she was already elected in the first
00:27:08round of the Riigikogu, with a fairly convincing majority of votes, and that is undoubtedly a pretty
00:27:11good position to start.
00:27:14She comes from the position of Chancellor of Justice, where she dealt with a very wide
00:27:18range of topics, so if she says she is up to date
00:27:21with Estonian life, she is not lying. And I
00:27:25feel that as Chancellor of Justice, she often had
00:27:28to restrain herself, because she actually had that inner
00:27:31urge to speak more broadly about societal
00:27:35issues, and the presidential office undoubtedly gives her
00:27:38that opportunity.
00:27:40Police again apprehended 10 Sudanese citizens who were illegally
00:27:44in Estonia in the Nõmme district of Tallinn yesterday evening. Yesterday evening
00:27:47around 7:30 PM, police received a report of two men on Valdeku
00:27:50Street. On the spot, it turned out that the men were in Estonia illegally
00:27:54and that more people were hiding in the area. Police began
00:27:57a search, which involved service dogs, drones, and
00:28:00rescue service employees. From a nearby forest, eight more men were found
00:28:04who tried to flee from the police. One of the men injured his hand while fleeing and
00:28:08was taken to the hospital. After first aid, he was also taken
00:28:11to the detention center. All ten men lacked a legal
00:28:15basis to be in Estonia, and only one had an identification
00:28:18document with him. From abroad. Six
00:28:22civilians were killed in Russia's latest air attacks on Ukrainian
00:28:26cities. In the city of Kharkiv, a grocery store was attacked, killing
00:28:30three and wounding 20 people. Among the wounded
00:28:33are two children. The Kharkiv prosecutor's office was also hit, but
00:28:37no one was injured there. A thermal power plant was also attacked, despite
00:28:40the so-called energy ceasefire
00:28:43between Russia and Ukraine, which US President Donald Trump announced
00:28:47yesterday.
00:28:49NATO will respond very quickly to any sort of Russian attack on the territory
00:28:53of a NATO member state, said NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe
00:28:56Alexis Krinkevič at the Warsaw Security
00:28:59Conference.
00:29:03do is we'd see it coming and I'll prevent it from happening to begin
00:29:06with validating this in deterrence and we win it by showing our strength and
00:29:10we win it by showing our unity behind that strength.
00:29:14So I hope the day never comes where we have to respond because we're going to keep them
00:29:18on their heels before they even think about taking a move against our
00:29:20Alliance.
00:29:23Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps released
00:29:26a video recording showing how they blew up a giant tanker
00:29:30in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iran, it was a
00:29:32313-meter long supertanker, capable of carrying
00:29:362.5 million barrels
00:29:39of crude oil at once. According to the Guard Corps, the tanker was destroyed by a sea mine when it
00:29:42attempted to pass through the strait without permission from Iran and had turned off
00:29:45its navigation system. The Iranian Guard Corps
00:29:49threatens to destroy all tankers that attempt to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the same
00:29:53manner.
00:29:56As the French left-centrist candidate, Member of the European
00:29:59Parliament Raphaël Glucksmann will run in the upcoming
00:30:03French presidential elections. Glucksmann is hoped to be a serious
00:30:06alternative to the more radical left-wing views
00:30:09represented
00:30:12by the People's Forum movement. Glucksmann managed
00:30:15to secure 66% of the votes
00:30:18in the left-centrist candidate elections. He strongly hopes to
00:30:21reunite the deeply divided left-centrists. The pro-European and
00:30:24pro-Ukraine Glucksmann considers his main opponent
00:30:28in the presidential elections to be right-wing populist Marine Le Pen and rules out
00:30:31any cooperation with Mélenchon.
00:30:35But let's return home and talk about the weather. Today it will be mostly
00:30:38cloudy, with clearings around the Gulf of Riga and in Southern Estonia.
00:30:41Rain will fall, and the precipitation will be heavy in places. There may also be thunder in the morning. The wind will be
00:30:45variable, 1 to in the northern coast, east and
00:30:49northeast wind 7-13, with gusts up to 18 meters
00:30:53per second. The air temperature will remain between 8 and 13 degrees
