00:00:18Here's a bar
00:00:18here,
00:00:25this is your store, yes, it's mine, yes, there's basically everything
00:00:28for life. And canned goods, and
00:00:32eggs, here you have a store, a billiard club,
00:00:35and a bar, I understand, you can have a drink in the evening, the store works
00:00:39every day, and the bar and billiards only on weekends, every day
00:00:42we don't
00:00:43pour alcohol,
00:00:49listen, you're so quick, like an Amazon, do you know Amazon
00:00:53women, do you consider yourself an Amazon or not, yes I am
00:00:57an Amazon, and what are Amazons like...
00:01:00the story describes that they are warlike women, absolutely
00:01:03invincible, in reality such Amazons as you, that's
00:01:07how it is, our life is a constant struggle, just not with fate, but with
00:01:11nature, life on the water has its advantages, it's not as
00:01:15hot here as on land, a breeze blows, but we want to move to
00:01:18another place, it's hard to live when you're constantly afraid for
00:01:22your life and the lives of your children, for example, just
00:01:25recently a child drowned, even on land you can't take your eyes
00:01:29off them, and... to
00:02:30walk.
00:02:33Waterfowl cows are a common sight in these
00:02:36parts. They have long been accustomed to this.
00:02:39They just really don't like it when a boat passes by and raises
00:02:43waves. The Amazon is an important transportation
00:02:46navigable artery all year round. The waves that
00:02:50boats raise don't only bother cows, it's a big problem for
00:02:53water settlements. Waves shake houses on stilts
00:02:57and wash them away. Officials of flooded
00:03:01settlements are trying to do
00:03:04something about it. Good morning, good morning, my name is Dima, yours is Sebastian,
00:03:08that's right, friends, sometimes you can meet the mayor
00:03:12as it should be, because there's
00:03:16работа с письмами, вот в таком виде, немножечко
00:03:19Amazonian, tell me about your town,
00:03:23our village is big, 250
00:03:26человек, в основном это семьи, мы занимаемся с...
00:03:30fishing, that's how we
00:03:32live, well, basically you are the mayor
00:03:36of the settlement, the head of the village council, good job, do you like it, yes,
00:03:40yes, I like it, how much do you get paid, in this position I don't
00:03:43get a salary, I work as a volunteer, that's how it is,
00:03:47friends, a mayor, a volunteer, listen, I think this is
00:03:50really a very interesting
00:03:54model, when the mayor is a volunteer, it means he really
00:03:56wants to do something useful for people. That's
00:04:00true, I try, listen, well, your town doesn't
00:04:04seem simple either, because I see a sign on the school, personally opened
00:04:07by the mayor of Manaus, the governor of the state,
00:04:11the president of a large company, such
00:04:14VIP-VIP persons, they sponsored the construction of the school,
00:04:18a well with drinking water, donated a diesel generator and
00:04:21an eight-meter motorboat for the needs of the residents, that's how it is,
00:04:25listen, that's called getting lucky, does the oil company have any interests here,
00:04:29I
00:04:32don't believe that rich people just came and just helped,
00:04:36I don't know, it's rare here, maybe they have some work
00:04:39going on here? Yes, several years ago they laid a
00:04:42gas pipeline here, and before that they asked what
00:04:46compensation we wanted for it, how they could help us, they bought us
00:04:49everything we asked for, so friends, that's how
00:04:52billions of dollars revolve in this water, because it is here
00:04:56that the Manaus-Coari gas pipeline passes. Coari is...
00:05:03a city famous for pirates, Manaus is the capital of the Amazon, so gas is pumped through this underwater gas pipeline,
00:05:07so for the construction of the gas pipeline they built you this wooden
00:05:10shed and gave you one boat.
00:05:42house, it's a studio, you could say, friends, so here we have a
00:05:46kitchen, here we have a dining room, from here
00:05:50there's an exit to the rooms, an exit to a chic terrace, I would give a lot just for
00:05:53this terrace, for such a view, there's a washing
00:05:57machine, so right away the question,
00:06:01where do the waste products drain, directly into
00:06:03the river, yes, there's a strong current here, the river immediately
00:06:07carries everything away, does the toilet also flush into the river, no
00:06:10no, there's a special pit
00:06:13there, we don't drain waste into the river, and what else do you have, we can
00:06:17take a look, friends, this is the mayor's bedroom, and there's
00:06:21here, does it cope, considering
00:06:25how many gaps there are in the house, yes quite well, listen, you also have a second
00:06:29TV here, you're a rich person,
00:06:31definitely, yes, a little rich,
00:06:34a little, to be a little rich here, in
00:06:38this water settlement in the Amazon, how much do you need to earn per month approximately?
00:06:42Two minimum wages - that's about 200 reais.
00:06:46Friends, that's 500 bucks. Listen, for 500 bucks in the city you could break
00:06:49your back. And how do you earn these 500
00:06:53dollars? I transport residents along the river
00:06:56and take children to school and back by boat. For this,
00:06:59the Manaus administration pays me a salary. Look,
00:07:03this is a small settlement here in the Amazon, in
00:07:06the wild jungle. And here the mayor of the town, well, essentially, the chairman of the
00:07:10residents' association. huge, a house can be one
00:08:42meter, and the house gradually
00:08:46collapses, and do you somehow address your higher
00:08:49leadership, as an official too, even a volunteer, with a request
00:08:52to change this situation, so that some kind of fence is put here or
00:08:56the route is moved a little, run it on the other bank, a little
00:09:00further from your houses. Yes, we appealed to the navy,
00:09:04to the city administration, time passes, but
00:09:07nothing changes, so it turns out that this is your native, I wanted to say land, but
00:09:11that would be illiterate.
00:09:47At a meeting of the village residents, people chip in for a lawyer
00:09:50who is supposed to legalize the buildings in a new place and secure the land for
00:09:54the village. Years of
00:09:56construction lie ahead.
00:09:59Despite all the difficulties, people are moving to land, away
00:10:03from the dangers of the Amazon, intense traffic,
00:10:05floods, predatory animals, but on the river bank
00:10:09local residents will have to face an environment unfriendly to humans.
00:10:13Here, not only large predators can cause serious harm, even
00:10:16barely noticeable insects. In this expedition, we repeatedly encountered
00:10:20the most dangerous inhabitants of the Amazon, huge crocodiles,
00:10:24black piranhas, and even three-meter anacondas,
00:10:27but I couldn't even imagine that a small insect would send us to
00:10:30the hospital. We don't show such footage in regular
00:10:34episodes, but now, telling about it, we want
00:10:37to warn you about such danger, these are behind-the-scenes
00:10:40moments of the world turned inside out, we came to the clinic, it says
00:10:44spa on it, but this is not at all a salon for relaxation and rest, Sasha
00:10:48is limping a little, Sasha, tell us yourself what happened to
00:10:51you, yesterday evening...
00:10:55I got a pimple on my
00:10:58leg, on my big toe, such a pimple, I thought it was
00:11:02a splinter, decided to get it out, picked at it
00:11:05with a needle, uh, and then small white larvae
00:11:09started crawling out, alive, alive, yes, in
00:11:13short, Sasha got some
00:11:17living larvae, we have now come to a center that deals with
00:11:20diseases when some live worms settle in
00:11:24a person's body. We don't yet
00:11:27know how this infection may affect Sasha's
00:11:30health, so we are trying to see a doctor as
00:11:33soon as possible, but it turned out not to be so simple. There are
00:11:37a lot of people
00:11:41here. And many of them came to
00:11:44extract worms
00:11:47and bugs from their bodies. This medical center is very similar to
00:11:51our usual polyclinic. Everything is in order of live queue. And we are
00:11:55shuffled from office to office, please sit down, you are
00:11:58next, no, I
00:12:01am next, I have been sitting here for an
00:12:03hour, so we had to sit in the stuffy corridor for
00:12:07almost an hour, the wait became
00:12:09unbearable, I don't even want to imagine what
00:12:13Sasha was experiencing at that moment, but when hundreds of
00:12:17larvae are crawling in your body, it's impossible to think about anything else, we've had
00:12:21problems with insects before, at the beginning of the Brazilian expedition.
00:12:25What happens when a local midge bites you in the jungle, these are
00:12:29not just pimples, these are bites that we
00:12:33got in previous
00:12:36hikes, it's going to
00:12:40hurt now,
00:12:42oh, oh what a nightmare,
00:12:46this is what I have to go through in a few
00:12:49days, these pimples that I have on my leg, in a few
00:12:53days they turn into... a nightmare,
00:12:55into such wounds, and this is normal, as
00:12:58the local doctors told me, you just
00:13:01have to get through it, horror, Sasha, girls will stop loving us now after
00:13:05this video, patience was running out, I
00:13:09was already going to look for the chief doctor, but finally Sasha was called into
00:13:13the office, show me
00:13:15the wound,
00:13:21very similar to botfly larvae, we are sending you for...
00:13:25an operation, they did not let me into the operating room
00:13:28with a camera, I had to wait for Sasha outside for
00:13:30an hour and a half, as the dermatologist
00:13:33later explained to me, such cases are not uncommon in the Amazon
00:13:37vicinity, and if you don't seek medical help in time,
00:13:40the consequences of such an infection can be life-threatening. Sasha
00:13:44asked: Dima, do you have any alcohol and a knife,
00:13:47and I said, what happened, he shows, and small white larvae
00:13:51are falling out of his wound and wriggling.
00:13:55Scientifically, this is called dermatobiasis. Sasha
00:13:58was bitten by a mosquito or a tick infected with botfly eggs,
00:14:01which is found here in South America. Your friend has become
00:14:05a living incubator for larvae, no one is
00:14:08safe from this here. And tell me from your experience, from your
00:14:11practice. The largest worms you have
00:14:15had to extract from a patient's
00:14:18body.
00:14:55cut, cleaned, removed all remaining
00:14:58worms. Unfortunately, our plans are changing, now
00:15:01the filming that we wanted to do in
00:15:04the forest, in the jungle, in the tropics, we are forced
00:15:07to postpone. Sasha will now go for dressings every day, and we have
00:15:11learned from our own experience that worms that enter
00:15:14the body are a common situation, a hospital full of
00:15:18patients, many have their legs cut open and live worms
00:15:21and larvae are removed from them.
00:15:29Watch in the next program, we will go deep
00:15:32into the Amazon, here are basically normal
00:15:35Amazonian roads.
00:15:39to experience an ancient shamanic ritual, I go to
00:15:42die and be born again,
00:15:45which, as the Indians believe, opens up human
00:15:48superpowers, hearing is very acute, very
00:15:52strong,
00:15:54a miracle, but it also makes you experience sensations very
00:15:57close to death, I think about how to get out
00:16:01of this state faster,
00:16:03I don't want to be in it anymore.
00:16:24In one evening, three piano concertos by
00:16:27Bach: Tähelev and the Tallinn Chamber
00:16:30Orchestra, Muusikal Bach, premiere
00:16:33of Anna Pert's new work on September 23.
00:17:07Poneta begins its tenth season with a new concert
00:17:11series, Suramattu. The first concert, Beethoven and
00:17:14Ratz, will take place on September 20 at
00:17:175:00 PM at the House of the Brotherhood
00:17:19of Blackheads.
00:17:23The Südalinna Theater opens its new season with Russian classics on
00:17:26the theater's main stage. The best play by Alexander Nikolaevich
00:17:30Ostrovsky, "Without a Dowry". This is a poignant
00:17:33story about love, human dignity, freedom, and
00:17:36choice, leaving no one indifferent. Don't
00:17:39miss it, see you at the Südalinna Theater.
00:17:42Sometimes I feel that it's not me taking the picture, as if this
00:17:45shot is being given to me. I'm always with those I photograph, I tell myself,
00:17:49they are you, and you are them. The exhibition of French
00:17:53photography master Jean-Louis Courtine, "This Concerns Us
00:17:56All", is open at the Docphoto Center in the Telliskivi Creative City. There is
00:18:00life in Docphoto. A lithium battery, a powerful but
00:18:04at the same time sensitive energy source, almost like the human
00:18:08body: a leaking, swollen, or damaged battery is especially
00:18:11dangerous and should be taken to a waste collection point.
