00:00:00it still, it still works because you need
00:00:03such, well, a single sentence to hold onto, that one,
00:00:07one sentence to win the attention of
00:00:11the relatively short attention
00:00:15span of the voter, the voter's attention, that
00:00:18is actually important. Well, the day after tomorrow
00:00:21morning, we will be wiser here too, thank you, Lauri Jalman, for coming
00:00:24this morning.
00:00:38Good morning, it's 8:30 and we continue with the news. The price of bitumen,
00:00:42which is necessary for asphalt production, has risen by almost half
00:00:46in two weeks. If a ton of bitumen previously cost about 550
00:00:50euros, now the price reaches up to 750 euros.
00:00:53One of the reasons for the price increase is supply difficulties. Currently, only one
00:00:57company supplies bitumen to Estonia.
00:01:00but possibilities for partial replacement of expensive bitumen
00:01:03with plastic waste, this would help reduce both asphalt
00:01:06production costs and environmental impact. A research
00:01:09project costing nearly 800,000 euros will last
00:01:12until the beginning of 2029 and will determine
00:01:16how much plastic could be used in asphalt
00:01:19mixtures. More on the RR

00:01:23Starting today, due to Rail Baltica infrastructure works taking place in Tallinn,
00:01:27the timetable for passenger trains on the East and South routes will change. Travel times for the Aegviidu, Tapa, and
00:01:30Narva lines will be shortened, Narva travel times
00:01:34will be shortened by an average of 20 minutes, and Aegviidu and Tapa
00:01:37journeys will become five minutes faster, Elron announced.
00:01:41Infrastructure works will also end on the Tartu- Valga section, meaning that the last
00:01:44journeys of the day can once again be served by train instead of bus.
00:01:48Infrastructure works beginning at Ülemiste station will, however, bring about timetable
00:01:52changes on the East and South routes. The biggest change
00:01:55concerns the evening train from Tallinn to Aegviidu, which will
00:01:58depart 35 minutes later than before, i.e., at a quarter past six.
00:02:02Passengers on the Tallinn-Narva line are asked to note that the morning's
00:02:06first journeys in both directions will depart earlier
00:02:09than before, and the late evening Narva-Tallinn express train will start
00:02:12departing 24 minutes earlier.
00:02:16Security guards will start working at Põltsamaa Basic School today,
00:02:19and school staff will receive alarm buttons to call for help if
00:02:22needed. The reason for the decision is up to three sixth and seventh-grade
00:02:26students whose behavior has been disrupting school work for a long time
00:02:30and causing problems at school. According to the school's principal,
00:02:33Henri Kallaste, the young people do not obey instructions, disrupt
00:02:37classes, and have also broken into the school building in the evening.
00:02:40Põltsamaa municipality decided to order security services initially
00:02:43until the end of the year. According to Mayor Taavi Aasa, it will cost
00:02:46a few thousand euros per month, but the aim of the
00:02:49security measures is to restore peace at school and ensure the safety of students
00:02:53and teachers. More again on the Err
00:02:56portal. Let's move on to foreign topics.
00:03:00A Polish legal expert warns that the Polish government's attempt to replace
00:03:03Constitutional Court judges appointed during the previous Law and Justice party's
00:03:06term in office, bypassing the president,
00:03:10very much resembles the Law and Justice party's own actions.
00:03:13According to the expert, this leaves the impression of a power grab rather than
00:03:16a restoration of the rule of law.
00:04:00active passenger plane crashed into an area where motorhomes were parked in Haagis.
00:04:03At least one motorhome was destroyed in the fire that broke out.
00:04:06According to initial reports, no one on the ground was
00:04:09injured. The plane, which was en route from Texas to Pahama, crashed only
00:04:13ten kilometers from President Donald Trump's
00:04:17Mar-a-Lago mansion.
00:04:20Haley Stevens, who lost the Michigan Democratic Party's
00:04:23senatorial primary election, is calling on her
00:04:26supporters to vote in the upcoming congressional midterm.
00:05:00return to their former homes. Today, it is
00:05:03primarily a day of silence and remembrance, when people visit
00:05:06cemeteries and light candles in memory of those who are no
00:05:09longer among us.
00:05:12But let's also talk about the weather. Today will be cloudy with clearings and rain in many places,
00:05:16with a predominantly southerly wind of 1.6 meters
00:05:19per second, and a southwesterly and southerly wind of 3-9
00:05:23with gusts up to 12 meters per second on the coast. In the evening, the wind will turn
00:05:26to the northwest and north on the islands and northwest coast. The air temperature
00:05:30today will be between six and 10 degrees
00:07:14November, this month that has begun, is Men's Health Month
00:07:18and we're talking about men's health, because, uh,
00:07:21it still seems that we can talk for years, we can talk
00:07:25more in November than in other months, but it's still not enough, good morning
00:07:28men, hello, today we are talking about prostate cancer, but
00:07:32not from the angle, perhaps, that is expected, that you should go
00:07:35for a check-up, think about your health, but we are talking about what happens after
00:07:39a person has received a prostate cancer diagnosis, but I would still
00:07:42come... before that classic one, that men,
00:07:45go for a check-up. Are we not talking about it today because the situation has become so
00:07:49much better, that Estonian men are finally going for check-ups at the right time,
00:07:52or? Well, I would say it's getting
00:07:56better, but it could always be better, definitely, absolutely,
00:07:59that, uh, Estonian men are like that, usually a bit passive,
00:08:03they try to postpone their health and that
00:08:07check-up, but let's say
00:08:09that year by year, the situation gets a little better, but. in your
00:08:13work with your association, what do you see, has the
00:08:16awareness somehow increased, that one should take
00:08:20the bull by the horns earlier? Well, let's say awareness has increased, but I
00:08:24think there's still a long way to go in terms of men realizing
00:08:27that, uh, prostate cancer is still the number one cancer
00:08:31in men and it progresses without symptoms, so
00:08:34in that sense, if a man has no complaints, an Estonian man won't easily go to the doctor,
00:08:38so I think here, well, I agree with Mihail, that, uh,
00:08:42awareness has increased, but there's actually a long way to go. I think a good opportunity
00:08:46is to test with friends at a sauna evening, how many men know about it and have asked
00:08:50for their PSA test numbers
00:08:53or had the test done, exactly what I was about to ask, what's the simplest trick,
00:08:56that, well, men, talk about it, ask even in men's company, because
00:09:00indeed, the PSA test is so, well, it couldn't be simpler, right?
00:09:03It's a simple, quick
00:09:06test, it's not universal, it's certainly not
00:09:10prostate cancer specific. It also rises for other reasons,
00:09:14but all, I also recommend that all men
00:09:18over 50, let's say between 50 and 75,
00:09:21should check it if they want to potentially
00:09:24treat it, but what about this false shame,
00:09:27what do you say about that, is it still strong, especially considering Estonian
00:09:31men, or for example, do these men dare to talk about these topics
00:09:35in the sauna, and has that also
00:09:37improved? Well, let's say
00:09:41I think it has improved. But still, it's a bit of a taboo topic, because despite
00:09:45everything, it's below the belt, and everything that's below the belt, maybe
00:09:49someone would talk about it one-on-one, but if we take it that there are already three or
00:09:52four men, then we wouldn't very freely start talking about it, so
00:09:56that, uh, uh, well, it still
00:09:59takes a little courage to come out with it and talk about
00:10:03whether I've had it or listen, guys, pay attention, as a doctor
00:10:06you constantly do this awareness work and talk to your patients, but how does it
00:10:10seem to you, does this information also move from man to man? Definitely,
00:10:14uh, many men come to the reception
00:10:17with exactly this wish, that a friend or
00:10:21relative who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, I also did
00:10:25the test and see, it's a bit higher,
00:10:28that, uh, that the word of
00:10:31loved ones is actually one of the strongest motivators for me
00:10:35to go for a check-up, I would even add here that, uh,
00:10:38that yes, we're talking about men's month, but actually many men have also
00:10:42come to the doctor because their wife or partner,
00:10:45the woman, says, listen, it's time, have you done that test,
00:10:49and if they're pushed a little at home, I think then the man will go and do
00:10:53that test. What kind of community is it, thinking about your
00:10:57association's work, that at some point a man goes to the doctor and the
00:11:00news is not good, luckily prostate cancer, if caught
00:11:03in time, well, the prognosis can be very positive, but
00:11:07is this community somehow large, that, uh,
00:11:11what proportion of Estonian men, whom this issue directly concerns, have you
00:11:14managed to reach? Let's say we don't directly
00:11:17register or count our community, how big it is, we rather
00:11:20look at it in such a way that we want our patient association to be...
00:11:25uh, a very adequate, medically
00:11:29controlled and scientifically substantiated information provider
00:11:32and disseminator, we can say today that our website vahimehed.ee is
00:11:36probably one of the best prostate cancer-based,
00:11:39as they say, information sources, we talk about the disease, we talk about
00:11:43treatment, we talk about complications, about all that,
00:11:45vahimehed.ee, yes, exactly, and
00:11:47secondly, we have recently activated our
00:11:51activities in such a way that we do once a month. such
00:11:55men's so-called experience circle, well, I don't know, experience circle, experience evening,
00:11:59experience meetings, only men, and we talk about
00:12:02problems that come with this disease, in other words, if a
00:12:05man gets a diagnosis, then well, we want to be there
00:12:09so that, uh, by contacting us, you can get that
00:12:12adequate information, you can get, as they say, experience,
00:12:16experience support, you can talk to me, as a real
00:12:19patient, you can talk to, maybe we have a urologist in the patient
00:12:22association from time to time, but that men we... share our experiences, we don't
00:12:26treat anyone, we, well, we don't claim to be medicine or doctors, but we are
00:12:30experientially supportive and thereby perhaps relieve
00:12:33someone's stress, reduce worries, talk about how things
00:12:37really are, and perhaps by our own example, that, uh, by getting
00:12:40on it in time, we are alive and live a full life. I
00:12:44saw that you listened and nodded, that here you could agree with everything, yes,
00:12:47absolutely, very good, I have nothing to add, but
00:12:51precisely this information, that the right information at the right time, to help even
00:12:55alleviate those fears, that life will go on from here, what do you
00:12:58see in your work, how is that, is that awareness present
00:13:02and because this news, when it comes, it will certainly be received
00:13:06very differently too, exactly, I would say that actually,
00:13:09when viewed as a doctor, this news
00:13:12always, people take it as neutral, but this is what I see,
00:13:16for the doctor, the person
00:13:19uh, the person has cancer, I see the next, immediately
00:13:23the first thought, what treatment options are there?
00:13:25What additional investigations are needed? For the patient, there is
00:13:29a big wall, red letters, cancer on it, and then he
00:13:32comes home and then what, what happens, uh, how to proceed,
00:13:36so here are slightly different situations
00:13:39and maybe it's good that there's such a
00:13:42place where men can get additional information, where they
00:13:46can talk to similar people, that actually it's not
00:13:48over, actually there are other options, actually it's
00:13:52just the beginning of treatment, again, that it's as if self-evident, but
00:13:56perhaps from another perspective, the thought that an Estonian man, a classic Estonian man, would think, well, will he come to
00:13:59that experience circle, share his story
00:14:03and talk to others, and it's
00:14:06uh, quite nice experiences are such that at first, maybe
00:14:10people listen to what others are saying, how they
00:14:12are saying it, and actually in the end that man, who has been silent for the whole meeting,
00:14:16then at some point says, I'll tell my story now, and he tells his
00:14:19story very detailed, very thoroughly, but I agree with Mihail,
00:14:23that for a doctor after diagnosis is... actually that treatment, treatment will
00:14:26start, but for the patient it is still that if you get that diagnosis
00:14:30at the department store intersection by phone, that you have cancer, then,
00:14:33God forbid, no one would step directly under a car, that well, life
00:14:37ended here actually, it doesn't end, that, uh, it's worth
00:14:40taking it calmly, taking note of it, now it
00:14:43is, and thinking calmly, what are the steps, what are the thoughts, where can I get
00:14:47help, where can I get support, that's what we are for, our websites, our
00:14:51people, and on the other hand, that, uh, everything
00:14:54is just... from there, steps will proceed and life continues, in terms
00:14:58of treatment options, thinking about prostate cancer, has anything changed in recent
00:15:02years, as cancer treatment also sees major breakthroughs for different
00:15:05cancers constantly, how about this type of cancer? Well, it's getting
00:15:09better and better, actually the situation in Estonia is relatively good, uh, when we
00:15:12compare it to other European countries, it could always be better,
00:15:16but definitely, uh, over the years, we
00:15:19see that more and more new medicines are coming, and
00:15:23also from the state. more compensation is coming,
00:15:27so the availability of treatment is also relatively good. One
00:15:30important topic I'd still like to talk about is that I'm 37 years old, precisely,
00:15:34so that young men approaching middle age wouldn't think, oh, it's not
00:15:38my issue, it doesn't concern me, at some point, boom, you're 50, so
00:15:41how to spread this information correctly, at the same time not to
00:15:44over-panic if you're only 37 years old, right, how to find
00:15:47this balance here, well, since, well, since it
00:15:51progresses without symptoms, it's hard to find balance, rather I think that, uh,
00:15:54even at 37, you should just realize that such
00:15:58cancer exists and it's very common in men and it
00:16:01also spreads without symptoms, so if you, as a 37-year-old,
00:16:05feel a little nagging, then I... would say that when visiting the family doctor, giving
00:16:09your blood sample, it's worth asking once, please do this PSA for me at least once,
00:16:13so the PSA, just as Mihail said, does not indicate cancer, however, the
00:16:16PSA trend over time can show
00:16:19changes, which in turn can be the beginning of cancer, so
00:16:23well, I would say to a 37-year-old, don't over-panic if everything is fine,
00:16:27but if it nags a little, then when going to the doctor, have that
00:16:30PSA taken from venous blood, it costs nothing. Do you not
00:16:33wish to add anything again? Uh, well, I wish.
00:16:37Let's say, at a very young age, I'd rather not recommend checking
00:16:41that PSA, because the probability of finding aggressive cancer
00:16:45is very small, there's a higher probability of actually
00:16:48getting unnecessary investigations, so, uh, the current official recommendation
00:16:52is from the age of 50 in Europe, or
00:16:5445, 45 years of age, if
00:16:58close relatives have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Men,
00:17:01thank you for helping raise awareness and doing this work
00:17:04vahimehed.ee, if you have received a prostate cancer diagnosis,
00:17:08then know that you are not alone, there are brave Estonian men who are willing to share their story
00:18:27At some wonderful moment, one of you or one of us
00:18:30might need some creative therapy, whether for example it's
00:18:34drawing, painting, or perhaps dance or movement? Or music, there are
00:18:38many different variations. Good morning, Epp and Katre. Hello, good
00:18:41morning. Was I on the right track, were all the important
00:18:45ones mentioned? Absolutely. Actually, there's also drama therapy, but
00:18:49it's not widely taught here in Estonia, so let's stick to the three main
00:18:52directions. So, and now we're sticking to, how do we say it, visual therapy, what is it, when
00:18:56I visual art therapy,
00:18:59in what situation does it work, for whom does it
00:19:02work? I would very much like to say for
00:19:06everyone, but well, let's say it's not really possible to say that,
00:19:09but it suits children up to the elderly,
00:19:13that, uh, there's always something for someone,
00:19:16it suits from when you simply want to understand, for example,
00:19:20you want to change jobs or you're thinking of changing your life a little, right, in what direction
00:19:23to move forward, it suits working then, if you have
00:19:27been diagnosed with depression or are simply recovering,
00:19:31so, uh, in that sense there are so many different possibilities, I'd like
00:19:34to say that contraindications are very
00:19:50even come, right, that what, I can't draw either, but I'm here,
00:19:54yes, but then there's one very good exercise that takes away
00:19:58the fear of the blank paper, it's the dot animal
00:20:01exercise, dot animal exercise, yes, so here I give
00:20:04you these nice gouache sticks, they're like... these
00:20:07lipstick-like ones,
00:20:10choose your preferred color and then I'll ask you to make
00:20:1340 dots all over this white paper, 40
00:20:17dots, you can also make 30, let's do it quickly then, oh
00:20:21this is a bit like yes,
00:20:24you count, I don't know how many
00:20:26there are already,
00:20:29you have to do it quite quickly, right, yes, I might just say in the background that no
00:20:32creative therapy requires that you know how to play an instrument,
00:20:36sing,
00:20:45this paper is covered with dots and now I ask
00:20:49you. as much as possible connect them all with lines,
00:20:52with the same blue, you can also use another tool, for example
00:20:56uh, some marker from here,
00:20:59that the choice of tools is really wide, that we don't only have
00:21:03felt-tip pens and paints, we have collage techniques, we have different
00:21:07stickers, we use natural materials, well, now, wait, what was I
00:21:11supposed to do, connect with lines, connect with lines, simply, yes, does it have
00:21:15to be smooth all the time, so I don't lift the pencil, or do I draw
00:21:18a line and then draw a line from here and a line from here, yes, connect those
00:21:22dots, how it feels right
00:21:25to you, and, that in art there is actually no right
00:21:28or wrong, so, how it suits the person
00:21:31themselves and it doesn't have to be a beautiful result, that many have
00:21:35this fear that it has to be a beautiful result, but sometimes for us
00:21:39the process is much more important, does it have to be lines or can I also make zigzags sometimes, yes
00:21:43please, so, how you feel, it gets more
00:21:46interesting, it seems to me, mhm, I have to get all these one... right
00:21:50let's try, oh here's one
00:21:53dot, so, now I'm going with a big zigzag
00:21:56here, it's interesting, exactly, that if
00:21:59I
00:22:01don't lift the pencil at all from
00:22:04here,
00:22:07so now it's done, right, yes, well, what kind of animal, you said what was it,
00:22:11dot animal or, but from here we'll go a little further, that, uh, here it's
00:22:14very good to do it like this, why we do it on an easel, is that an easel gives us
00:22:18the opportunity to look at the artwork from a little
00:22:21distance, to take a step back, not to have your nose in the
00:22:25paper all the time and, and then we can also
00:22:28do such a thing, that we turn
00:22:32the artwork, especially with abstract works, it's very
00:22:34abstract, that you can notice what you notice here, do
00:22:38you already notice something, now it could be like a rhino's body,
00:22:42here are the rhino's legs, here is the rhino's head, yes, and
00:22:45now we can start coloring
00:22:48this rhino. for example, coloring it and also
00:22:52thinking about what are the rhino's
00:22:55strengths? Ah, I have to name, for example, three
00:22:58strengths of a rhino? A rhino, I think, is
00:23:02very calm, but in some situations still very powerful and protective,
00:23:06calm and powerful, what else, right? Well,
00:23:09kind of cute too, right, when it snuffles around
00:23:12by itself like that, cute too, yes, and if you now think about those
00:23:16strengths you mentioned, that, uh, does
00:23:19any of them also relate
00:23:29you can decorate this rhino and again just start, I don't have to
00:23:33make it grey, like a real rhino, right, but how
00:23:36I like it, let's approach it creatively, that
00:23:39yes, and you can also use, in that sense, some soft materials
00:23:42to glue on, that's exactly it, how your
00:23:46fantasy and your desire currently are, mhm, that
00:23:49uh, so that creative therapy is not just dancing
00:23:53or painting, that it actually also involves conversation, ah, all the time
00:23:56yes, hands moving, but at the same time you have to be
00:24:00present with your thoughts and be able to communicate verbally too, or if you want,
00:24:04let's say, it's like an opportunity, but plus there's also that, if I briefly go
00:24:08to young people, there are many young people who don't want to
00:24:10talk, they want to be quiet, they want to be quiet and, and
00:24:14maybe they don't say more than just that, that it's a rhino,
00:24:18but they already got something through
00:24:20the color, through this drawing, uh, maybe
00:24:23sometimes through the fact that you can just squeeze that paint out of the bottle
00:24:27and spray it, that you already get some emotions
00:24:31out of yourself and then such space for moving
00:24:34forward is created, I think that
00:24:37Juhan's boys, Lennard and Konrad, can handle this just as well as I
00:24:40can now, they're quite small, I wanted perhaps even
00:24:44better,
00:24:47I'm very creative right now, I'm not holding back at all. It's
00:24:51not just that children are often like, well, they are
00:24:54naturally braver, adults like, a child very rarely
00:24:57says I can't draw, well, yes, that's just how it is,
00:25:01that they just draw, right, but what does such therapy
00:25:04actually do to a person, what happens to a person at that moment when they
00:25:08do it, they gain access to different
00:25:11resources, we are used to talking a lot
00:25:15and and that's the rational side,
00:25:18but many of our memories and experiences contain
00:25:22your colors, contain sounds,
00:25:25contain exactly that same sensory feeling, whether the sun was shining or
00:25:28the wind was blowing, and it's not always so
00:25:32easy to access through words, and that's it, if you feel exactly
00:25:36that you're not looking for the right color, but you trust that, well, I
00:25:39want to take this color today or put these dots there, then some completely new
00:25:43resource might open up within you, can the
00:25:47therapist make any conclusions, what colors I use? how many dots have I
00:25:51made, where have I drawn those lines? No, there will be
00:25:54no conclusion, we don't make diagnoses, if you
00:25:57were to make the whole picture black, we wouldn't tell you that you have depression, you tell
00:26:01me what that black of yours means to you, so that fear, that we
00:26:05look at the picture, then think, oh, he is
00:26:07like that, that's not there, that's not
00:26:11there, you started by saying that the fear of the white paper,
00:26:14can actually be a different color, and there are all kinds of
00:26:18colored papers, that white one is something that somehow jumps out at you, you have to do something, it's
00:26:22like an obligation, it forces you to do something, you can also, for example,
00:26:25on black paper, colored paper, I might quickly show you one
00:26:29of those that you brought up earlier, a quick way, how to overcome the fear of white paper.
00:26:44how it is, and then when you open it again
00:26:48you have a white paper but there are lines on it
00:26:50jumping
00:26:52and um, and now you can move along these lines, and if
00:26:56a person just and if a person is not ready for more,
00:27:00then we can continue to talk only. about it, what it was like, what was the feeling of crumpling
00:27:04that paper, what those lines are there
00:27:07and and let's say, if it was mentioned earlier, who it suits,
00:27:11then, for example, in an elderly home, maybe
00:27:14a person's hands don't work anymore,
00:27:17the creative therapist has ready-made pictures, the person can say, put this there, put this
00:27:21there, they get some memory picture on that picture, right, they can put it on the
00:27:25wall afterwards, so there are
00:27:41pet Halloween costumes, namely, on
00:27:44Saturday, in the Museum of Contemporary Art
00:27:47located in downtown Chicago, the 39th
00:27:50traditional Halloween party for dogs and cats took place, and
00:27:53dozens of four-legged friends gathered for the event, whose owners had
00:27:57let their imagination run wild in making costumes. Among others,
00:28:00a dog dressed as a ramen bowl could be seen, accompanied by
00:28:04its owner in a cook costume, and a snake whose
00:28:07mistress transformed into, for example, Cleopatra, and there were also
00:28:11a werewolf and a pet disguised as a dinosaur, and also caught the eye
00:28:14were a Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, a hot
00:28:18dog, a gingerbread man, a cowboy, and even a dog
00:28:21dressed as a school bus. That's right, over the years this
00:28:25event has become a Chicago tradition and brought together
00:28:29animal lovers again, who showed that Halloween is not just for people.
00:28:32holiday, well, we had some little corks in Tallinn too, who
00:28:36had some Halloween costumes on, yes, they went hiking on Saturday
00:28:40and I like that dog dressed as a ramen
00:28:43bowl and the owner
00:30:46Good morning, it's nine o'clock and it's news time. In Narva,
00:30:49only about 15%
00:30:53of the participants successfully passed the C1 level Estonian language
00:30:55exam held in September. Across Estonia, the corresponding figure was nearly
00:30:5830%. According to language teachers, the high
00:31:01level makes it.
