00:00:34"The president has a crucial role in restoring
00:00:37trust and uniting the nation. Ülle
00:00:40Madise took the presidential
00:00:42oath of office before the Riigikogu.
00:00:45Today's speech states that she is the president
00:00:49of all people. The British Prime Minister confirms that Russia
00:00:52interfered in the Brexit referendum
00:00:54ten years ago.
00:00:5910 illegal immigrants from Sudan
00:01:02were found in Nõmme Forest.
00:01:05Many high school students have to pay for their second foreign language
00:01:08themselves.
00:01:11The most requested language so far has been
00:01:14Finnish. Good evening, Aktuaalne kaamera on Monday,
00:01:18October 12.
00:01:21Ülle Madise took the oath of office before the Riigikogu and became president.
00:01:24According to politicians, Ülle Madise will be a president who can
00:01:28listen to and unite the people.
00:01:30Before the solemn ceremony in Toompea, Ülle Madise and Alar Karis met
00:01:34in Kadriorg and then proceeded to Toompea. Ülle Madise has
00:01:38worked in the Ministry of Justice, the National Audit Office, the Riigikogu, and
00:01:42the President's Office. Kadriorg is not an unfamiliar place for her, as today's president
00:01:45advised Toomas Hendrik Ilves when he was head of state. Before
00:01:49being elected president, Ülle Madise was the Chancellor of Justice, and she spoke
00:01:53about the experiences gained from that job in her speech today, noting that she too often saw
00:01:56how people who dedicate themselves to others are not
00:02:00reciprocated. Before the Riigikogu, both the outgoing and
00:02:04incoming presidents gave speeches. Alar Karis spoke about the crises that
00:02:08Estonia has faced in the last five years. The president's
00:02:11job is to notice, to be able to listen,
00:02:15to unite instead of dividing,
00:02:18to seek balance, to maintain diversity,
00:02:22to stand for internal and external peace.
00:02:26At least that's how I understand this office.
00:02:34and an even greater responsibility, where the ability to pay attention, ask the right questions, and remain
00:02:38oneself is needed. The elected president officially became president
00:02:41after taking the oath of office. Upon entering the office
00:02:45of President of the Republic, I, Ülle
00:02:48Madise, solemnly pledge to protect
00:02:51unwaveringly the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Estonia,
00:02:55to exercise justly and impartially the power entrusted to me,
00:02:57and to faithfully fulfill
00:03:00my duties with all my abilities and best
00:03:03understanding for the benefit
00:03:07of the Estonian people and the Republic. In her first speech as president, Ülle
00:03:11Madise said that the attempts of the last decade to change people,
00:03:14dictate how one should live, think, feel, or
00:03:17speak, have given trust an inevitable
00:03:21setback. The lesson has been learned, now trust must be restored,
00:03:24said Madise. According to the president, the theme of all upcoming
00:03:28elections should be a family-friendly Estonia.
00:03:32The president can better articulate
00:03:35where the shoe pinches, what is expected and hoped for in Võru and Virumaa,
00:03:39Mehikoorma and Häädemeeste, Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, Paide and
00:03:42Põltsamaa, in all places where the local community works
00:03:46hard to prevent life from moving away, for farms to
00:03:49flourish, for tourism and all entrepreneurship to develop,
00:03:52for effort to be worthwhile for generations.
00:03:56The Riigikogu elected Ülle Madise president with 71 votes
00:03:59already. Members of the Riigikogu believe
00:04:03she will be a unifying president. Today's speech says that
00:04:07she is the president of all people.
00:04:10The scaremongering that she is a president of one camp or another is not
00:04:14true. Her strength in explaining complex topics
00:04:18simply will certainly help us
00:04:21unite society, and I think
00:04:24we need that unity now. The president has a crucial
00:04:27role in restoring trust. to
00:04:30unite the people, and those expectations are
00:04:33that I think it will be a difficult time, but
00:04:37then the expectations are high, and I think people's expectations
00:04:41are high, and we now have in the studio the director
00:04:44of the President's Office, Paavo Nõgene. Good evening and congratulations. Good evening, thank you. To begin,
00:04:48perhaps a slightly more personal question, but how do you feel, does your current
00:04:52job, which has now begun, somewhat resemble your previous positions, such as
00:04:55director of Vanemuine, Chancellor of the Ministry
00:04:59of Culture, or director of Tallinn? Or do you need to settle in, as they say, for
00:05:02those hundred criticism-free days? No, I certainly don't need that, and it certainly resembles it in part, because I
00:05:06have always looked at Estonia more broadly in my work than just the narrow
00:05:10confines of my specific job, so I believe that I will settle in relatively quickly.
00:05:14Well, the team is now in place. What else? The first visits
00:05:18are known, they will go to Latvia or yes,
00:05:21the president will go to Latvia tomorrow, and Finland the day after.
00:05:24This time, it was because the host countries couldn't receive them otherwise. Otherwise, it
00:05:28might have been possible to do it in one day,
00:05:32but work will begin, as always. The president's
00:05:35office is 24/7. Alar Karis finished, Ülle Madise
00:05:39begins, and work must continue. So what are the messages
00:05:43we will be hearing and expecting from Kadriorg? President Madise
00:05:47has very much emphasized the need to rebuild
00:05:49in Estonia, as well as giving
00:05:53hope for the future and courage. So I believe these are the three keywords
00:05:56that will be filled with meaning
00:05:59in different ways in the coming years. Even today
00:06:02in her speech, President Madis actually pointed out that
00:06:05trust needs to be restored
00:06:08towards office holders, journalists, doctors, police,
00:06:11whoever, among ourselves, that this trust has suffered,
00:06:15so the president definitely has her own role and opportunity to contribute to this,
00:06:18to better connect Estonia. In one of your earlier interviews,
00:06:22you mentioned that you also see Madise in Kadriorg
00:06:24in a ten-year perspective, so aren't you afraid that what has happened before
00:06:28in history might occur, that a president gets tired
00:06:32in the middle of their second term and can no longer fulfill that role, and perhaps
00:06:35a single seven-year term would be better? Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves, and
00:06:39first, the first term, and then President Madis will have
00:06:42the option to decide whether she wants a second or not, so, but
00:06:46the question then was whether there is potential. President Madis definitely has the potential
00:06:50for eight terms. Madis said that she will also continue
00:06:53Alar Karis's initiated tee shot, so what are her other themes that she
00:06:57would like to pursue? She will certainly introduce them herself, but she is
00:07:00definitely facing the people inwards,
00:07:04inwards. In today's geopolitical situation, one cannot do without
00:07:07security and foreign policy, so President Madis will certainly be involved
00:07:11in this. She has specifically highlighted that the National
00:07:15Defense Council will meet regularly, which is important today, so there are
00:07:18many topics that she will focus on, and she will certainly meet
00:07:22with many members of the Riigikogu, factions, parties, ordinary
00:07:25people, common people, so as to keep herself as well-informed as possible. And
00:07:29finally, but by no means less important, will the
00:07:32presidential handshaking ceremony on Republic Day remain
00:07:35unchanged? We very much hope that it will remain unchanged.
00:07:39We understand that it is a TV show. Especially very
00:07:43important, well, for the people too.
00:07:51confirmed at an alliance forum in Warsaw that NATO will deter and break any attack
00:07:55against its members. General Aleksus Krinkevič, with a US
00:07:58Air Force background, said in his speech that if anyone is foolish enough
00:08:02to attack the alliance, then we will fight. We will stop
00:08:05the attack and not let them achieve their goals, whatever they may be, he said.
00:08:08stronger than ever, united in our
00:08:12common vision of a more balanced, more ready
00:08:16and more lethal alliance. We know how we will
00:08:19fight if a fight comes to us, and we know we will win,
00:08:23and together we will ensure that any adverse
00:08:26reaches the only conclusion that matters. Today
00:08:30is not the day. The European Union imposed
00:08:34new sanctions on Russia aimed at its war industry. At Estonia's
00:08:37request, raw materials for Silmet were removed
00:08:41from the same list supplied by a Russian manufacturer. Estonia promises
00:08:45that this will not last long.
00:08:48"This is the largest expansion of sanctions so far," said the European
00:08:52Union's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. A total of 1,600 individuals
00:08:55and companies were added to the list. More than
00:08:58half target the production chain for
00:09:02ballistic missiles. We are making it significantly
00:09:05harder, slower, and more
00:09:07expensive for Russia to produce
00:09:10weapons. At Estonia's request, Silmet was also excluded.
00:09:14The Russian producer supplying its raw materials, as soon as it is free of dependence,
00:09:17Estonia itself will ask to put this company
00:09:21under sanctions, promised Foreign Minister Tsahkna. Well, my goal is as quickly as possible,
00:09:24even tomorrow, if it were to happen, but realistically I believe in the
00:09:28promises of the leaders that it might happen at the beginning of next year. I really hope
00:09:32so. Estonia's behavior may not be unique, many things are excluded
00:09:35from the sanctions list, so we don't even hear about it, but
00:09:39precisely because it is common is the reason
00:09:42why drawing up new, tougher sanctions
00:09:45is becoming increasingly difficult, so to speak, the low-hanging fruit has
00:09:49already been picked at the beginning, so there is
00:09:53nothing new in that either, but we must
00:09:56still be resourceful, because Russia, for its part, is
00:09:59resourceful in evading these sanctions. After US
00:10:03President Donald Trump's announcement that a ceasefire applies between
00:10:07Ukraine and Russia regarding attacks on energy infrastructure, the Ukrainian
00:10:10Foreign Minister noted at a meeting with European counterparts.
00:11:06Russia announced that it would offer Ukraine only a one-day
00:11:09ceasefire for presidential elections, thereby rejecting
00:11:13Kyiv's call for a comprehensive ceasefire for the election
00:11:16campaign period.
00:11:49the Brexit referendum ten years ago. According to
00:11:53him, Germany's opposition party, Alternative for Germany, is clearly connected
00:11:56with Russia, and Britain should help German and also French
00:12:00voters understand that part of their politics is fueled by the enemy.
00:12:03poolt.
00:12:06This year's Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to American scientists
00:12:10Robert Hall and Michael Woodford. Hall's and Woodford's work provides governments
00:12:14and central banks with more precise tools for dealing
00:12:16with economic problems. They showed that central banks and governments can better tame
00:12:20crises if they understand individuals' daily
00:12:23financial decisions.
00:12:39The Ministry of Education has not limited the choice of a second foreign
00:12:43language in basic schools, and so 15 different
00:12:46languages were taught last year. However, this means that when entering high
00:12:49school, a student's language learning that has lasted for several years may be interrupted,
00:12:53because schools can only offer continuation courses for a few languages. The other
00:12:56option for the family is to pay for the child's language learning out of their own pocket,
00:13:00even though it is compulsory
00:13:03While a few years ago, mainly Russian or German
00:13:07was taught as a second foreign language in Estonian schools, now 15 different languages
00:13:10can be studied in basic school. For example, Hans Krister, who started high school this
00:13:14autumn, had studied Spanish for three years in basic school. It
00:13:17is not taught in his new school, and so the family had no other
00:13:20choice but to pay for the child's further language learning out of their own pocket.
00:13:23Thanks to the school, we found another student. It's not
00:13:27exactly an individual lesson, and the price is very reasonable. The best
00:13:31compliment for me was when the child said after one lesson, "Dad,
00:13:35you know, that money probably went to good use,
00:13:38I feel like I'm really learning and developing there." Two old classmates
00:13:42dropped out of Spanish and started learning French from scratch.
00:13:45One classmate also tried to start a new language, but eventually
00:13:49the family hired a private Spanish tutor. In the Tallinn language school,
00:13:52students' interest in learning French and Finnish has grown significantly
00:13:55this autumn. The most requested so far has been Finnish,
00:13:59and it is requested both online, not only by people from Tallinn, but also
00:14:03by students from other cities. According to Soone, the student courses are slightly
00:14:07more affordable, and the sum is less than 100 euros per month. Here,
00:14:10no school has paid for the courses. The Ministry of Education does
00:14:14not see a problem with paid courses replacing compulsory language lessons. If
00:14:17I remember last winter's battle, even museum tickets were not allowed to be paid for by parents,
00:14:21suddenly you say that a 300 euro language school fee is completely
00:14:24okay. "These are different things, that if it is a completely compulsory
00:14:28curriculum subject, the school must offer the opportunity for a student to learn
00:14:32a B-level foreign language. The option where a student continues learning a language
00:14:36outside of school is usually not because the school offers no other
00:14:39option, but rather it is the wish of the parent and the child themselves. According to
00:14:43Ene Saar, the director of Tallinn Secondary Science School, more difficult times are
00:14:47still ahead for schools, because this year's basic school graduates are the first
00:14:51cohort who had to choose another language instead of Russian. When they now arrive at high school, then it will be clear
00:14:55how and in what way we will then open these so-called B-language
00:14:59groups. It's not really possible that everyone who wants to can have it, that, that
00:15:03is simply not financially possible to do. According to the school director, the choice
00:15:06of a second foreign language could be limited, and some less common languages could be taught
00:15:10as electives in school. The Ministry of Education sees no
00:15:14need for this, as high schools have not, to their knowledge, experienced
00:15:16problems. Police caught 10 illegal
00:15:20immigrants from Sudan in Nõmme and took them to
00:15:23a detention center. Yesterday evening, the police received a tip that
00:15:26two dark-skinned men with lost looks were standing
00:15:30in an apartment building on Valdeku Street. During the check, it turned out that
00:15:33they were Sudanese men illegally residing in the country. The men said that there
00:15:37were more people hiding in the area. During the search, movement of people was detected in the forest,
00:15:41and eight more Sudanese were caught. All detainees
00:15:44were illegally in Estonia, and only one of them had a document.
00:15:48In Estonia, more than 350 illegal residents
00:15:51have been apprehended in recent
00:15:53months. In a moment, we will talk about economics
00:15:56and culture. Telia is laying off approximately 100
00:15:59employees in Estonia.
00:16:02And the Kadriorg Art Museum exhibition brings to viewers a selection
00:16:05of artworks created based on Ovid's famous
00:16:09myths.
00:16:12But before that, the Ministry of Justice wants to add photos to the data of pedophiles
00:16:15in the criminal record to better protect children.
00:16:19Lawyers doubt the actual impact of adding photos,
00:16:22but changes will have to wait years, as the state does not have the money
00:16:26to implement them. In Estonia, there are more than 11 thousand
00:16:30people who are prohibited from direct contact with children, of whom more
00:16:34than 6000 people have lifelong restrictions.
00:16:38According to Justice Minister Liisa Pakosta, it is currently difficult
00:16:42to understand from the criminal record what crime a person has
00:16:45received a restriction for, which is why it is planned to add a document photo
00:16:49to the data of perpetrators of the most serious
00:16:52child sexual offenses. To make this distinction
00:16:55clearer
00:16:57for the sake of social
00:17:00justice, and also child protection, so that
00:17:03indeed, the person who has committed
00:17:05these most serious crimes can be recognized
00:17:09by the fact that they also have a photo. It is true that this can
00:17:13also be tracked by paragraphs now, but we have received
00:17:16feedback that it is too complicated for people. According to the minister,
00:17:19the photo also helps to check the person's identity.
00:17:23However, the criminal record will not become public for everyone, and to make
00:17:27an inquiry, one must still know the person's personal identification code.
00:17:30According to sworn attorney Liisi Jürgen, it is doubtful how much adding
00:17:34a photo will actually help protect children.
00:17:37Identifying a person by an ordinary user is not
00:17:40easy. One must also analyze
00:17:43the functionality in the criminal record. I cannot imagine that a Google
00:17:47image search-like function will start working, and even if it
00:17:50does, several factors must be taken into account:
00:17:53firstly, that, that we do not fail to identify
00:17:56a dangerous person, because appearance changes, or secondly, that we do not
00:18:00stigmatize a completely innocent person with
00:18:03this photographic material. The Chancellor of Justice's office praises
00:18:07the amendment proposal. Child sexual offenses are serious
00:18:11crimes. And the impact on the victim is severe
00:18:15and long-lasting. And that's why it's
00:18:18welcome that ways are being sought to prevent these acts
00:18:21and prevent harm. In addition to
00:18:25photos, the state plans to make background checks for people working
00:18:28with children automatic. Currently, employers must
00:18:32check employees at least once a year. In the future, the
00:18:35system would do this every month. According to the Social Insurance Board,
00:18:39checking is already easy. Actually, the current
00:18:43system works if employers have the awareness that
00:18:46they must check a person working with children
00:18:50before hiring them. The Data Protection Inspectorate welcomes
00:18:54the modernization of the register, but is still assessing whether the changes
00:18:57will also guarantee the inviolability of private life and the protection of personal data.
00:19:01The new system is expected to come into force only in 2030.
00:19:05According to Pakosta, the delay is due to Tartu city's
00:19:08debt burden growing by nearly
00:19:1040% in the coming years, and by
00:19:132030
00:19:16it will reach over 260 million euros. The city justifies
00:19:20the need for loans both by the so-called Robin
00:19:23Hood reform and the need for investments. However, the opposition
00:19:26Centre Party believes the city is living beyond its means. While as
00:19:30of this year, the city of Tartu has debt obligations of over 190
00:19:34million euros, by 2030
00:19:37the city's debt will grow to nearly 265 million euros.
00:19:41According to Tartu Deputy Mayor Martin Pekk, the loan burden will grow significantly
00:19:44because the city's costs have grown rapidly, but at the same time, a smaller
00:19:48income tax collection must be taken into account. The so-called revenue
00:19:51redistribution reform, popularly known as the Robin Hood reform,
00:19:55has reduced Tartu city's funds by 17 million
00:19:58over the strategy period. If the local government manages well,
00:20:01it can take out loans. The city also has major investment
00:20:05plans in the coming years, which Pekisën cannot postpone, including the renovation
00:20:09of Veeriku School, costing 26 million euros. In these four
00:20:13years, we will invest nearly 290 million in total.
00:20:16The largest sectoral share in this sense is culture, nearly 100
00:20:20million euros for the Siuru cultural center, 60
00:20:23million for education,
00:20:26educational facilities, school buildings, kindergartens,
00:20:30ongoing repairs, roads, streets, sustainable mobility also
00:20:33nearly 10 million. According to the opposition Centre
00:20:36Party, they cannot be satisfied with the budget strategy, and the city is living
00:20:40beyond its means. If we look at the current budget strategies, then in
00:20:432030, the city of
00:20:46Tartu's obligation to pay interest will be almost 10 million
00:20:50euros. I remember that 10 years ago, the mayor said that it was a sin not to take
00:20:54out a loan because money was cheap. I remind you that then our Euribor was
00:20:57somewhere around zero euros, now the Euribor is almost 3%, and
00:21:01a 1% increase in Euribor annually
00:21:04costs the city of Tartu 1 million euros, and all of this actually
00:21:08comes at the expense of the people of Tartu. So, according to
00:21:11Suvorov, it would be wise to review investments. Also, according to Elo Kiivet
00:21:14from the opposition, the city's debt burden is indeed large, but
00:21:18planned investments are... constantly postponable. What we actually
00:21:22need to monitor continuously is how much we pay
00:21:25in interest, and indeed, whether after Siuru is completed,
00:21:29we will then adjust our previous debt-taking
00:21:32level? Telia is laying off nearly 100
00:21:36employees in Estonia, which is about 7% of its workforce across six
00:21:40countries. Telia is laying off 900 employees in total, and Telia explained
00:21:43that it is increasingly using artificial intelligence in its work, including customer
00:21:47service. Telia Estonia's CEO explains
00:21:51the need for layoffs due to the rapid increase in input costs. If
00:21:54we consider what the main inputs in our sector are, then they are
00:21:57energy, labor costs, and also technology costs. If we look at the
00:22:01developments in technology costs in recent times, we are used to technology
00:22:05prices falling year after year, but now they have also
00:22:09turned upwards. So if we do not want to pass on all this input
00:22:12cost pressure to end-user prices, then we must
00:22:16honestly face our internal efficiency. More and more,
00:22:20tasks are given to artificial intelligence. We have
00:22:23a voice bot and we have a chatbot,
00:22:26which today already very successfully serve a large part of our
00:22:30customer base. We have various work segments where artificial
00:22:34intelligence comes to our aid, as I
00:22:36mentioned, also the streamlining of internal processes, where we can
00:22:40delegate certain tasks, routine jobs,
00:22:44to artificial intelligence. We are definitely considering this and also doing it. Telia's
00:22:47competitors, Tele2 and Elisa, already carried out larger
00:22:51layoffs last and the year before last. Tele2 has
00:22:54already laid off 20% of its workforce in 2024 and 2025.
00:22:57Of course, companies adapt, the advent of technology
00:23:00helps with this, so we must make the entire AI
00:23:03part that creates value in customer service more efficient, but also more broadly in customer
00:23:06value creation, technological development
00:23:09is inevitable, and actually Tele2 in Estonia
00:23:13is very, very diligently dealing with this. Tele2 also actively
00:23:16implements artificial intelligence. We already have it in customer service
00:23:20today. It will be implemented. Next year, bigger changes are coming,
00:23:24where AI will play a bigger role in customer service. I argue that the human aspect
00:23:27must always remain there, in whatever format, but
00:23:30primarily the streamlining of processes, where AI can
00:23:34play a role internally. The third telecom
00:23:37company operating in Estonia, Elisa, did not find an opportunity to comment
00:23:41on camera, but stated in a written response that it
00:23:44is a growing company that currently sees no need to reduce
00:23:48the number of jobs
00:23:50due to the introduction of AI.
00:23:52Finding a job has become easier, and the number of unemployed is decreasing.
00:23:56According to the Unemployment Insurance Fund, 38,000 people were registered
00:24:00as unemployed in the third quarter, which is 5,600 fewer than a year ago.
00:24:04The share of registered unemployed in the working-age population was therefore
00:24:075.5%. And the last time there were so few unemployed
00:24:10was at the beginning of 2020. The Unemployment Insurance Fund confirms that
00:24:14it is generally easier to find a job, but not in all sectors.
00:24:18The labor market situation has generally
00:24:22improved for job seekers, whereas a year ago we had
00:24:25about 10-11 unemployed per vacancy, today it is
00:24:29seven. However, this competition depends on the sector.
00:24:32The Unemployment Insurance Fund receives the most requests for assistance in
00:24:36administration, trade,
00:24:39construction, and manufacturing. The competition for employees is
00:24:43still high in the financial
00:24:46and insurance sectors, as well as in the communications and IT sectors.
00:24:52The Kadriorg Art Museum opened the exhibition "Metamorphoses: Power,
00:24:55Violence, Sex," which presents viewers with a selection of
00:24:58artworks created based on the famous myths of the ancient Roman
00:25:01poet Ovid. The exhibition "Metamorphoses:
00:25:05Power, Violence, Sex" features artworks from Estonian, Czech,
00:25:08French, and Swedish museums, as well as rare historical volumes
00:25:12from libraries. The exhibition The starting point is Kadrioru's
00:25:16main hall ceiling painting, which depicts one of Ovid's
00:25:18metamorphoses, a well-known myth. We have wanted
00:25:22to place Kadri's castle ceiling painting
00:25:25in the broader European art cultural
00:25:28history and examine what
00:25:32plots, what stories from Ovid's metamorphoses
00:25:35artists have depicted, what meanings have been
00:25:39attributed to these stories, and what is the
00:25:43form of these artworks, what is their appearance, which
00:25:46has been created based on these stories. The work of the
00:25:50ancient Roman poet Ovid, Metamorphoses, contains over
00:25:53250 Greek and Roman myth transcriptions. The work has been
00:25:57called the artists' Bible, as it describes the gods'
00:25:59love stories and physical transformations. castle inventories and
00:26:32art treasures. Their collections include furniture,
00:26:35artworks, tapestries, of which
00:26:38three historical tapestries from the 17th century
00:26:41have reached our exhibition. The exhibition will remain
00:26:45open at the Kadriorg Art Museum until March of next
00:26:48year. Kirsi will now talk about the weather for the coming week. Good evening! The next few
00:27:07days will still be rather humid and
00:27:10grey, but for mid- October, they are still
00:27:13relatively warm. Over the past 24 hours, a low-
00:27:17pressure system moved over the Baltic Sea. Denser
00:27:20precipitation concentrated over eastern and northern Estonia during the day. Elsewhere
00:27:24in the Baltics, rain clouds were scattered. Slightly further west,
00:27:27a high-pressure zone extended from Central Europe
00:27:30to Scandinavia. Within this zone, the weather was dry today, while
00:27:34from the Atlantic, a low- pressure system reached the Norwegian
00:27:36Sea. The latter made the day in Western Europe
00:27:39rainy and windy.
00:27:42During the upcoming night, the low-pressure system over the Baltics will slowly
00:27:45recede eastward. In the early night, it will still rain in many places, and the wind will be occasionally
00:27:49moderate and gusty. After midnight, a higher
00:27:53pressure area will strengthen along the Baltic Sea. In the cloudy sky,
00:27:57there will be occasional clearings, precipitation will decrease, and the wind will weaken.
00:28:00On Wednesday, a new low-pressure system will arrive from Scandinavia
00:28:03to the Baltic Sea. On its edge, rain clouds will also reach
00:28:07Estonia. The coming night will be cloudy with only scattered clearings. It will rain
00:28:11in many places, but after midnight,
00:28:15the rain will become sparser. Fog will form in places, and a predominantly
00:28:18northerly wind of 2 to 10 m/s will blow, with a northeasterly wind of
00:28:215 to 10 m/s, sometimes 15 m/s, on the coast. After midnight,
00:28:24the wind will gradually weaken. The air temperature will be
00:28:273-8 degrees Celsius, up to 11 degrees on the coast.
00:28:31On Tuesday morning, the coast will have cloudy clearings and occasionally
00:28:34rainy weather. The wind will blow from the north at 3-8
00:28:38m/s, with gusts up to 11 m/s on the coast. The temperature will be
00:28:414-8 degrees Celsius, up to 11 degrees on the coast.
00:28:45The day will also be cloudy with clearings and occasional light rain.
00:28:48A light, predominantly northerly wind, changing direction in the afternoon,
00:28:52will blow, and the temperature is expected to be 7-12
00:28:55degrees Celsius. On Wednesday, the sky will be relatively
00:28:58cloudy, and rain will spread from the islands to the mainland. The wind will be
00:29:02moderate and gusty, and the temperature will be only 8-12
00:29:06degrees Celsius. On Thursday and Friday, the cloudiness will be variable, and there will be occasional
00:29:10light rain. On Thursday, there may still be
00:29:13fog in places before noon. By Saturday, the cloudiness will thin, and the day will be
00:29:17without significant precipitation. While on Thursday, the average temperature will still be
00:29:2011 degrees Celsius, on Friday and
00:29:29Temme Linna, invited his friends and acquaintances on a bicycle tour of the town, and
00:29:32all who came got to ride special unique
00:29:36bicycles belonging to Temme himself. Here they all are now,
00:29:38waiting to go, but before
00:29:42tell his story about some of the unique bikes in his
00:29:45collection. And with this, I learned
00:29:48to ride through the frame. Iivo also learned
00:29:51to ride.
00:29:55And the apartment was done, he didn't want to throw it away. For Temme,
00:29:59restoring bicycles and also motorcycles has been
00:30:03his passion, and he believes he got this bug
00:30:06already in childhood. I've always been
00:30:10such a tinkerer, I've always
00:30:13wanted to see what's inside things. Toy cars, tin cars, of course, had
