00:00:34Attacks on refrigeration systems that hit European grocery stores also reached Selver
00:00:38in Estonia. We discovered it quite
00:00:42quickly and were able to quickly
00:00:45take countermeasures. Artificial intelligence is taking
00:00:48over tasks also in advertising, customer service, and
00:00:51translation sectors.
00:00:54The translator is now a machine translation editor.
00:00:57The Ministry of Social Affairs plans to reduce praise. This causes conflicting
00:01:01opinions. In Narva, heating will start
00:01:04with shale oil.
00:01:07Gas is incredibly expensive, it is not accessible
00:01:09to residents.
00:01:12Good evening. Aktuaalne Kaamera on Monday, November
00:01:152nd. A cyber attack hit a grocery store chain of Selver, during
00:01:18which attackers gained access to a computer used for remote control of the store's
00:01:21refrigeration system and set the temperature of the refrigerator counter to
00:01:2550 degrees Celsius. Reportedly,
00:01:29today, two more companies' refrigerators were
00:01:31attacked. Similar incidents have also been reported in
00:01:35several other European countries. A cyberattack hit
00:01:38Selver's grocery store chain this morning. Attackers gained
00:01:42access to the store's refrigeration system control computer and set
00:01:45the refrigerator counter's temperature to 50 degrees Celsius. This
00:01:48shut down the refrigeration systems for about ten minutes. Since we have
00:01:5224-hour monitoring, we detected it
00:01:55quite quickly and were able to quickly
00:01:59implement countermeasures, the damage was
00:02:02minimal, practically non-existent. According to Mutso,
00:02:05currently, outdated systems and software are being
00:02:08attacked. Which store chain's store was affected by the attack, Selver
00:02:11does not disclose. In a written response, it was stated that for security
00:02:14reasons they would not disclose which specific store
00:02:18it was, but it was the last Selver store that had not yet adopted
00:02:21the new refrigeration system. According
00:02:24to the head of the Cyber Security Center of the State Information System
00:02:28Authority, it is still difficult to say who might be behind the cyber attack and
00:02:32whether the same individuals who organized similar attacks across
00:02:35Europe might be behind it. From which country might this attack
00:02:39have come? It is very difficult to identify attackers
00:02:41in general in the case of cyberattacks and
00:02:45identifying such incidents and
00:02:48finding the attackers takes time and
00:02:52analysis. Jan Mutsonul stated that today, in addition to Selver,
00:02:56two other companies suffered a similar cyber attack, but he did not specify
00:02:59whether they also managed to shut down their refrigerators for ten minutes.
00:03:03According to confirmed data, there have been a couple
00:03:06of attacks with similar modus operandi. A senior research fellow
00:03:09in cybersecurity at Tallinn University of Technology says that attacks both in Estonia and
00:03:13in other countries might have been orchestrated with the help of artificial intelligence.
00:03:16We have such a theory that maybe artificial intelligence is somewhat involved,
00:03:19that artificial intelligence picks up
00:03:23where there are less secure networks, less secure devices, and
00:03:26then those are exploited according to whatever comes
00:03:29next. According to him, both companies and individuals should review
00:03:33devices connected to the internet, because similar attacks may continue
00:03:36if systems are not updated. Everyone should be
00:03:39careful, we have a lot of smart homes, we have a lot
00:03:42of Wi-Fi networks, we are actually quite vulnerable
00:03:45in the information society.
00:03:47And in the studio is Maikraft, head of the Cyber Security Center of the State Information System Authority.
00:03:51Good evening. Good evening. Well, do the traces lead to artificial intelligence? Is there
00:03:54reason to suspect robots in this attack?
00:03:58This morning, Selver notified the State Information System
00:04:01Authority about cyberattacks that hit their refrigerator
00:04:05system. To our knowledge,
00:04:08we currently do not know that it would be an
00:04:12AI-caused attack. This is a big
00:04:15wave of attacks that we have seen all over Europe. What characterizes
00:04:19this attack? Is it just a so-called
00:04:22random security flaw that is being exploited, or is there reason to suspect
00:04:25some malicious
00:04:28larger plan here? The main root cause
00:04:32of these attacks is that devices with security
00:04:35vulnerabilities are exposed on the internet, which
00:04:39attackers maliciously exploit. The
00:04:42motives for these attacks are currently
00:04:46unknown. How many such
00:04:50stores have actually been attacked in Estonia? It was said that
00:04:54at least two more stores have been attacked. The State Information
00:04:57System Authority has received one notification from Selver
00:05:00today. We have not heard
00:05:03of other incidents today. What prevents
00:05:06a similar attack from being carried out, for example, against a hospital
00:05:09or a heating system? Attacks are
00:05:12probable if
00:05:15unsecured systems are exposed on the internet
00:05:19and companies and institutions have not made
00:05:22efforts to raise their cybersecurity
00:05:26level. How many such security vulnerabilities
00:05:29are there in devices connected to the Estonian network, we are not talking
00:05:32about hundreds, rather hundreds of thousands. If we are talking
00:05:36today specifically about refrigerator
00:05:39control systems, then we have identified
00:05:43less than ten today. If we talk a little more broadly about how many
00:05:46vulnerable devices there are in Estonian
00:05:50cyberspace in general, then according to today's State Information System
00:05:53data, there are over 30,000. What
00:05:56other attacks have actually hit our information systems
00:06:00recently? We see different types
00:06:03of cyberattacks. Most frequently, these are
00:06:06denial-of-service attacks against Estonian
00:06:09information systems. However, various scams,
00:06:13phishing campaigns,
00:06:16are still prevalent, and in addition
00:06:18to that, this summer we have also observed
00:06:21quite a few incidents regarding website
00:06:25compromise. You say that we have over 30,000
00:06:28devices with security vulnerabilities. In which sectors are they
00:06:31actually, which sectors in Estonia are in a vulnerable situation? This
00:06:35number is for the entire Estonian cyberspace
00:06:38and it includes both private individuals
00:06:41and companies. Currently,
00:06:45specifically, which sectors
00:06:49are affected, that is currently under analysis. Thank you.
00:06:53Thank you! The Belgian prosecutor's office launched an investigation
00:06:56into a cyberattack targeting the refrigerators of several store chains. In
00:07:00Sweden, too, the cooling system of several store chains was hacked, and
00:07:04the refrigerator temperatures were set to 50 degrees Celsius.
00:07:07A lot of food went to waste. Cooling equipment in stores in Finland,
00:07:11Luxembourg, and Ireland were also attacked. In Sweden, the stores of Ica and
00:07:15Coop chains were victims of the refrigerator attack. The warehouse of
00:07:18Axfood home delivery services was also attacked. A large amount of food
00:07:22went to waste in all attacked
00:07:24chains.
00:07:32Buyers are confused by cyberattacks because they don't understand what
00:07:35such attacks are trying to
00:07:37achieve.
00:07:42this type of sabotage on refrigerators
00:07:45to destroy it, is it to scare people
00:07:49or is it purely sabotage because
00:07:52one can sabotage,
00:07:55that's just speculation, of course. In Sweden,
00:07:59Kaketi grocery stores were attacked, and according to chain managers, the attack
00:08:02was quickly dealt with and the damage is minor. Refrigerators were also
00:08:05attacked in Belgium, Luxembourg, and Ireland.
00:08:09France, where a massive refrigerator hacking took place in October,
00:08:12was spared from this attack.
00:08:16Both Russia and Ukraine report that the opponent broke into their alert
00:08:20applications. According to Russia, Ukraine carried out a massive cyberattack
00:08:24against the phone application that notifies of drone attacks.
00:08:27Earlier, Ukraine reported that apparently Russian hackers had broken into
00:08:31the Ukrainian civil defense phone application, which gave unjustified
00:08:35alerts for both nuclear and chemical attacks and street riots.
00:08:39False alarms did not cause panic in Ukraine.
00:08:42everything instantly, I was surprised, and then I figured out what
00:08:45happened, in general, it's a problem,
00:08:48in general, on one hand you can laugh, on the other hand, they
00:08:52gained some access, were able to hack
00:08:55the program, this in no way,
00:08:58probably, caused the actions in society they expected, you worry
00:09:02more not about yourself, but about your children who are
00:09:05nearby, that is, if I were alone, I might not react to all this
00:09:08immediately, but when there are children, then...
00:09:12you try,
00:09:15what can be a false alarm,
00:09:19you try to somehow more
00:09:20for.
00:09:23Artificial intelligence has taken over tasks from people
00:09:26not only in technology companies,
00:09:30but also in advertising, customer service, and
00:09:33translation sectors. Especially the spread of AI affects
00:09:36young people starting their careers. Both
00:09:39the Unemployment Insurance Fund and entrepreneurs confirm that it is harder for young people to start
00:09:43a career in many fields, because artificial intelligence applications take over precisely
00:09:47the work that requires less qualification and experience. Regarding the
00:09:50lack of jobs for young people, we indeed have a problem
00:09:54in Estonia today. We
00:09:56must deal with this, because this problem will carry over
00:10:00into the future if we do not deal with it quickly enough, well enough.
00:10:03An intern who comes with minimal
00:10:07knowledge and then starts learning, until at some point they become
00:10:10a top specialist or manager.
00:10:12So that path is quite seriously disrupted. In the advertising industry,
00:10:16artificial intelligence has taken over a lot of simpler tasks, and it also
00:10:20creates very catchy roadside ads or web ads that fit
00:10:23into a narrow space. If certain positions in advertising
00:10:26companies disappear, then knowledgeable people are still needed.
00:10:30Someone who manages this whole process, sets the strategy
00:10:34and reviews it, those
00:10:36people are still needed, and I would say that the demands on the
00:10:40competence of those people have rather increased.
00:10:43In the translation industry, artificial intelligence applications have strongly
00:10:46changed the nature of work. The translator is now a machine translation
00:10:50editor. The best ones are still left,
00:10:53that and and we try to give work to our
00:10:56core team members. Rätsep admits that the availability
00:10:59of free machine translation has made clients price-sensitive
00:11:03and more willing to compromise on quality. If you already
00:11:06start working with a machine, then we expect quite high
00:11:09expertise. Young people
00:11:12unfortunately also trust the machine too much, so they can't
00:11:16do the work as well. Siim Viidu, Vice President of Baltic
00:11:18Development, on the other hand, believes that young people know how
00:11:22to utilize the possibilities of artificial intelligence better. They are
00:11:25a little different, in a different era, they are perhaps more like "eights,"
00:11:29so they even have some advantages. Bolt currently
00:11:32does not plan layoffs due to the adoption of AI, the company
00:11:36encourages employees to experiment with it. Practically, the
00:11:39adoption of AI is very, very high, almost
00:11:42100% across the organization. Most
00:11:46customer problems, so-called questions or
00:11:49tickets, are solved automatically by AI.
00:11:52According to Kert Tiivas, head of the Unemployment Insurance Fund, the changes
00:11:56caused by the arrival of artificial intelligence are a natural process and the labor market
00:11:59adapts to them quickly. New technology comes, creates
00:12:03new opportunities, at the same time, of course, it means for some
00:12:06people that we have to learn new skills,
00:12:09acquire new knowledge.
00:12:12According to the Ministry of Social Affairs, there are too many
00:12:15ambulance brigades in Estonia where, in addition to a nurse,
00:12:19there is also a doctor. Currently, there are 13 of them, and the Ministry
00:12:23would like to cut their number. How many emergency doctors work
00:12:27is not yet decided. Medical professionals disagree whether such
00:12:30a change is good or bad. In Estonia,
00:12:33in addition to mobile intensive care units, there are 13 ambulance brigades where,
00:12:37along with a nurse, there is also a doctor. According to Vask, chief physician of South Estonian Hospital,
00:12:41this is not reasonable. To my knowledge, there is one doctor's brigade in Anne Linnas.
00:12:44It was once claimed that Anne Linnas is very far from the clinic,
00:12:47that's why Anne Linnas needs one doctor's brigade. Well, that's
00:12:51nonsense. So, it has been claimed for Otepää that there are many
00:12:56international events there, so it needs a doctor's brigade for that reason,
00:12:59according to the hospital director, however, this is a waste of medical resources,
00:13:03and nurses can handle the work in ambulances just as well as doctors. The Health
00:13:06Insurance Fund pays 15 thousand euros more per month for a doctor's brigade
00:13:10than for a nurse's brigade. According to Vask, this is precisely why
00:13:14they don't want to give up doctor's brigades. However, not all of this sum goes to doctors'
00:13:17salaries. Instead of this doctor's brigade, there
00:13:21could be more ambulance brigades, because today
00:13:24this doctor's brigade is also much more expensive, so those excellent doctors
00:13:27who work in ambulances could replace
00:13:31family doctors at the primary care level or work
00:13:33in hospital emergency rooms, that would be much more reasonable, that today there are
00:13:37about 60 doctor positions there. According to Tuuli Paju,
00:13:41a member of the board of Tartu Ambulance, the proposal may be due to a shortage
00:13:44of staff in smaller hospitals, which they hope to alleviate
00:13:47with ambulance doctors. I know that all these people, first of all, they already
00:13:51partially work in emergency rooms and hospitals, and secondly...
00:13:55"there are such specialties represented
00:13:58here in emergency medical services that do not go to
00:14:01work in the county emergency room. In Tartu ambulance service, doctors
00:14:05are on duty in addition to the mother and Athena, also in Paide, Viljandi, Põltsamaa,
00:14:08Räpina, one brigade is sometimes In Tartu, they are convinced that doctors must
00:14:12remain in emergency care, and if in Tallinn it is conceivable that a doctor travels to assist a separate nurse brigade,
00:14:16then in smaller places one cannot rely on such medical
00:14:19assistance brigades, that the distances are very long and indeed
00:14:22the hospital is also far away,
00:14:26i.e. if you have a medical assistance brigade in Tartu, for example,
00:14:29and it has to reach Räpina for help, then it
00:14:33will take a very, very long time before that
00:14:36doctor's brigade arrives there. According to the Ministry
00:14:39of Social Affairs, doctor brigades will not be abolished, but their number is planned
00:14:43to be reduced. We want to review how many and where they are actually
00:14:46needed, so that they do not primarily attend calls where nurses can also cope, so that we
00:14:50can optimally use our resources. The new emergency
00:14:54aid organization should be announced in the coming
00:14:57weeks. The police deported Russian citizen
00:15:01Leonid Karabeskin from Estonia via the Koidula border crossing
00:15:04and imposed a Schengen entry ban on him. According to Kaitsepolitseiamet,
00:15:07Karabeskin had ties to the Russian special services and
00:15:11individuals working for them, with whom he regularly met
00:15:13in Russia and shared information about the Russian-speaking
00:15:17population living in Estonia. Karabeskin has worked both at
00:15:20Euroacademy and Estonian Public Broadcasting. In
00:15:242006, he became an associate professor at Euroacademy
00:15:27and Dean of the Faculty of International Relations. In 2012,
00:15:31he became a professor at Euroacademy. He remained associated with the private
00:15:34higher education institution until its closure in 2020. In
00:15:382022-24, however, he worked as a foreign
00:15:42news reporter for Estonian Public Broadcasting's Russian-language radio news.
00:15:45The employment contract was terminated by mutual agreement, but not on
00:15:49the circumstances that came to light today. He did not have access
00:15:52to ERR's important and sensitive systems. He had
00:15:56very close ties with Russian special services and
00:16:00individuals working for them, and
00:16:03it was known that he had also provided them with information
00:16:07about the Russian-speaking population of Estonia. In this case,
00:16:10the evidence collected suggested a systematic
00:16:14activity, which is why
00:16:16intervention was decided upon. Definitely, we cannot, neither we
00:16:19nor other large media organizations, start
00:16:22profiling hundreds of people, as that is certainly not
00:16:26justified, but of course we will review the procedures and
00:16:30in any case, we must
00:16:33so to speak, think about minimizing such
00:16:36risks in the future.
00:16:38Enefit Power, a subsidiary of Eesti Energia, will start heating
00:16:42Narva with shale oil. Shale oil was last used to heat Narva
00:16:45four years ago. The need for heating with shale oil
00:16:49arises when the Baltic Power Plant has to be shut down. This
00:16:52plant only enters the market when electricity is expensive. This is currently
00:16:55the case, but the end of the week will likely bring cheaper electricity,
00:16:59and then this old production unit will no longer enter the market. When the plant
00:17:03shuts down, a reserve boiler house will be put into operation, where
00:17:06predominantly, according to the environmental permit,
00:17:10shale oil can be used as fuel this winter. Heating with oil is one-fifth cheaper
00:17:14than heating with gas. We also have gas supplies
00:17:17at the moment, but gas is incredibly expensive, it is not accessible to residents, and
00:17:21one condition in the environmental agency's permit was that it must be accessible to
00:17:25consumers. If electricity market prices fall, then we will be forced
00:17:28to switch off the power block, then we will automatically switch to
00:17:32oil heating. Considering that we have 30% pensioners
00:17:36and those who work are... "many are on minimum wage, we are
00:17:39in an emergency situation, so today in
00:17:42Narva, as they say, the limit of payment
00:17:46capacity has been reached. In a moment, we go to the USA,
00:17:50where the final campaign efforts are underway before
00:17:53the midterm elections.
00:17:56And we will explain why Artificial Intelligence speaks
00:17:59with Jüri Järvet's voice.
00:18:02President Donald Trump made his last campaign efforts in Iowa
00:18:05yesterday before tomorrow's
00:18:07midterm elections. The president is trying to help Republicans maintain a majority
00:18:11in Congress, while nationwide polls
00:18:15show Democrats
00:18:16leading.
00:18:21Before President Donald Trump's campaign event, the mood among
00:18:24his supporters was
00:18:26elevated.
00:18:32Trump was in Iowa to give Republicans a boost in the final
00:18:36campaign days. The president has a strong support base here, and Iowa has
00:18:40been a strong Republican stronghold in previous elections as well, but
00:18:43this year the standings are even. At stake is not
00:18:46only the Republican majority in Congress, the midterm elections
00:18:49provide an assessment of President Trump's second term.
00:19:03In Iowa, where agriculture plays an important role,
00:19:06rising fuel prices due to the Iran war and the Hormuz
00:19:09Strait crisis are keenly felt. However, Trump's
00:19:11core supporters do not blame the president for this.
00:19:15I've been through this before, and it didn't have anything to do with the Republican
00:19:19or the Democratic party. Either way, we've had gas,
00:19:23high gas prices before. Well, the gas prices really are not Trump's
00:19:27fault, the gas prices are from what was happening before he even became
00:19:30president. Even those who associate the price increase with the war
00:19:33are willing to accept it.
00:19:46Before the midterm elections, Trump also tried to alleviate fuel prices
00:19:49with a diesel agreement concluded with Russia.
00:19:52Cooperation with Putin, however, causes some doubts among Trump's
00:19:56loyal supporters.
00:20:07Um, we'll see what happens. Uh, it it's got to be doing some
00:20:11good somehow. Yeah, I feel we should be
00:20:15pumping, making more diesel here ourselves. I don't want to
00:20:18call him Putin for anything, right? But, uh, if that's
00:20:22where it's coming from mostly, then if that's where we got
00:20:25to go get it, then if anything, I'd rather we just go there and take it from
00:20:29them. But you know, although Putin's
00:20:31war in Ukraine is not approved, some Trump supporters
00:20:35are willing to accept cooperation with Russia.
00:20:58Although Democrats are ahead in nationwide polls, Trump's
00:21:02core supporters believe in a Republican victory in tomorrow's
00:21:05midterm elections. Tariffs and price increases
00:21:09are squeezing US small businesses, some of whom have
00:21:12had to close their doors. Virginia store owners who have survived
00:21:15through difficulties are hoping for a change of course after tomorrow's
00:21:19congressional midterms and more bipartisan
00:21:22policies. Fredericksburg is a city in Virginia,
00:21:25whose main street has many small
00:21:28businesses.
00:21:31Bagpipe music invites guests to the Scottish craft shop, which has
00:21:35only been open for a year in this space. All the
00:21:39goods here are imported, and customs duties have not made life easy.
00:21:43have to pay the money for the product that's
00:21:50coming in regardless if they've got it right
00:21:54or wrong and then put a dispute in which then takes months, so I'm out of
00:21:57pocket of that money as well, so yes, it's been
00:22:00tricky to navigate. According to Louise, her business is sustained
00:22:04by the uniqueness of the products and the store's location.
00:22:07Around the capital Washington, people have more money and
00:22:11are willing to pay more for good quality.
00:22:14And they do understand that I'm faced with these extra costs, but it's tough. I mean,
00:22:18it is tough. I mean,
00:22:25according to a recent US Chamber of Commerce survey,
00:22:2854% of small businesses consider price increases a serious
00:22:32challenge. In addition to rising costs, this also reduces
00:22:36customers' purchasing power.
00:22:38According to Moona, who has run a bookstore since
00:22:421985, a whole bunch of businesses on main street
00:22:46have closed their doors in the last year, but she's doing quite well.
00:22:50I think one thing, being really service-oriented,
00:22:53um, giving a personal touch. You lot of people now are
00:22:56buying online, but you really are losing a personal touch then.
00:23:00So people come here and they ask us
00:23:04for recommendations. And since we know our
00:23:07books, we can make recommendations for them. Fredericksburg
00:23:11store owners expect more bipartisan policies from the new
00:23:14Congress, which would support small businesses and
00:23:18thus life in smaller cities.
00:23:21Long-standing internal tensions and disagreements between the team
00:23:25and management at the Estonian Museum of Contemporary Art culminated
00:23:28in a reorganization of management and three people losing their jobs.
00:23:32According to Evelin Raudsepp, the former curator-project manager
00:23:35of EKMK, the crisis began with some employees'
00:23:38dissatisfaction with the management style of CEO Kadi Keskküla.
00:23:42In addition to Keskküla, Raudsepp herself and
00:23:45technical director Johannes Luik also lost their jobs. Anders
00:23:49Härm, a member of the museum's board, pointed out that the board became aware
00:23:52of the dissatisfaction with Keskküla's management and tried to mediate the
00:23:56situation, but it was unsuccessful. Keskküla herself also acknowledged
00:23:59the disagreements. Tensions are also present in the board that
00:24:02made the decision. Board member Johannes Säre wrote
00:24:06on social media that resolving the situation caused heated
00:24:09debates. Actually, based on all
00:24:12the conversations we have had with the current
00:24:16team's
00:24:18board members, CEO Kaidi Keskküla and so on,
00:24:22the board came to the conclusion that,
00:24:25in reality, it would be good if EKKM was managed
00:24:29by a three-member board, doing so daily,
00:24:33democratically, with
00:24:37distributed work assignments,
00:24:39these positions will then be filled through an open competition
00:24:43to ensure the transparency
00:24:46of these processes. In our opinion, this is not the only possible solution
00:24:50to solve this situation, and secondly, knowing that it
00:24:53is not a unanimous opinion within the board, and that there are also
00:24:56disagreements within their board, and that their internal discussion has been going on
00:25:00for a long time, then in our opinion, yes, this is not a fair solution to the situation at the moment,
00:25:04even if it is legally correctly formulated.
00:25:07Any disagreements and different opinions are actually
00:25:11an important part also in this case
00:25:14In EKKM, we have 12 employees, we have seven board
00:25:18members, everyone is very different. people, but from all
00:25:22this kind of composition and these disagreements, actually, that's where
00:25:25further development stems from, so in that sense,
00:25:28this is indeed a completely natural
00:25:32part of life.
00:25:34At the Black Nights Film Festival, a documentary film
00:25:38Jüri Järvet, Every Inch a King, will premiere, where the
00:25:42legendary Estonian actor is remembered with archival materials and also
00:25:45with artificial intelligence. To dive into it
00:25:48up to the elbows. Already more than three years ago, for the portrait film about Jüri
00:25:52Järvet, who passed away, the documentarian has not filmed a single new
00:25:55shot, using family archives, excerpts from his film and theater roles, as well as
00:25:59letters, which have been brought to life
00:26:03with the help of artificial intelligence, since it is still a film based only on archival
00:26:06material, we had two choices: either we
00:26:09make Jüri Järvet's voice with AI, or
00:26:13we try to find a good imitator, an actor, but we still
00:26:16went with the modern method, it's a bit exciting for us too
00:26:19how it turns out. I feel myself, have I eaten? That's
00:26:23how we talked. For the creators, the goal was not to tell one big
00:26:27story, but they wanted to capture small, more interesting incidents from Järvet's
00:26:30life and, with their help, put together... a story about one of Estonia's most legendary
00:26:34actors. Visually, there are two exciting things here. One is that the film
00:26:38also includes Jüri Järvet's home videos, which truly date back
00:26:40to the 60s, so his family gave us completely
00:26:44unique access to footage that truly no one outside of that family
00:26:48has ever seen before. The other part is that even already known material, that
00:26:52is, be it films, TV interviews, and so on, the way
00:26:56Tavi has handled them in the editing and given them a completely new
00:26:59life, also changes the meaning.
00:27:02come and relax and
00:27:05the film belonging to the portrait documentary series was made as a relatively quick
00:27:08process. The work on the film took about a year, among other things, they wanted
00:27:12to remind people of Järvet again, because, for example, the younger generation
00:27:15doesn't know much about him. This film did not claim to be Jüri
00:27:19Järvet's absolute autobiography. It was
00:27:22a surprise to me that there wasn't as much material about Jüri Järvet as I
00:27:26thought there was.
00:27:28More in video, photos. In that sense, I was a bit surprised. "And you
00:27:32still base your filmmaking on the material you have, who he
00:27:36really is, who he really
00:27:40is. Meteorologist Ele Pedassar talks about the weather in the coming days.
00:27:58Hello, the week started with rain clouds and
00:28:01it will continue like this for now. Wind is also a keyword
00:28:05this week. The satellite animation shows
00:28:09how dense rain clouds associated with a low-pressure area moved
00:28:12from over Northern Europe today southeastwards. This
00:28:15precipitation area spread slowly over Estonia today as well. In the
00:28:19southeastern part of Europe, in Italy and the Balkans, however, a
00:28:22severe cyclone was swirling, which gathered small rain clouds
00:28:24around itself. Western Europe was covered
00:28:28by a high-pressure area and this allowed the sun to shine
00:28:32in many places. Tonight,
00:28:34the low pressure, along with the rain clouds, will move from over Estonia
00:28:37southeastwards. After that, the influence of the high-pressure
00:28:41area covering the Baltic states and Western Europe will
00:28:44briefly strengthen. In the afternoon, the next
00:28:48low-pressure trough will arrive from the northwest, bringing
00:28:51a new area of precipitation. Mainly as rain. In the
00:28:54northeast, sleet may also occur. At night,
00:28:57the air temperature in inland areas will drop close to zero degrees, during the day it will be
00:29:01up to 10 degrees warm. On Wednesday night,
00:29:04the influence of high pressure will strengthen again from the west, the sky
00:29:08will clear and the air temperature will drop to below zero
00:29:11in many places. During the day, the low pressure arriving
00:29:15from the northwest will again bring rain showers to the southeast.
00:29:18The upcoming night will be rainy in many places in Estonia, with
00:29:21fog in places. The wind will blow from the southwest, starting from Western Estonia, turning
00:29:25to the northwest and north, and reaching 3-9
00:29:28m/s, up to 14 m/s on the coast. The air
00:29:32temperature will be between zero and plus 6 degrees, on the coast
00:29:36it will be up to nine degrees warm. In the morning,
00:29:39rain will fall in places in southeastern Estonia, the west and northwest wind will blow
00:29:423-9 m/s, with gusts of up to 14 m/s on the coast.
