00:03:33that's how it always happens on
00:03:35weekends, well, right after the news bulletin, we'll tell
00:03:39you about the weather.
00:10:26In Estonia, 7:10 on air, ERR News, Ilya Dachar
00:10:30at the microphone. Hello.
00:10:33Airbaltic, a company facing financial difficulties,
00:10:37expects to continue operating as usual, selling
00:10:40tickets, serving passengers, and performing all scheduled
00:10:43flights, despite the ongoing financial
00:10:46restructuring. This process will be carried out under
00:10:50Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code, which will allow the company,
00:10:53which is in a difficult financial
00:10:57situation, to continue operations and at the same time restructure its
00:11:00work and repay debts. Among Airbaltic's
00:11:03creditors is Tallinn Airport, to which the airline
00:11:07owes almost one and a half million dollars for services rendered.
00:11:11However, Eeroparme, a member of the airport's board, said that there was nothing
00:11:14extraordinary about this. Despite the problems, Airbaltic
00:11:18will be able to repay this debt and continue to pay for
00:11:21services. The company will be able to pay so-called.
00:11:34will be able to pay in the future.
00:11:37To news from abroad: the leaders of the French far-right
00:11:41party National Rally, Marine Le Pen and Jordan
00:11:44Bardella, published a joint statement on the party's
00:11:47website, in which they criticized Russia for attempts
00:11:51to influence France's foreign policy through intimidation and threats,
00:11:55including with regard to support for Ukraine, reports
00:11:58Deutsche Welle. The statement says that the party will not
00:12:01tolerate - quote - "a foreign power, in this
00:12:04case Russia, seeking directly or indirectly to dictate the policy
00:12:08of a country through intimidation, threats, destabilization or
00:12:12psychological pressure. No provocations, no
00:12:15covert operations and no destabilizing actions
00:12:19can induce France to facilitate Russia's
00:12:22achievement of its military goals in Ukraine, end of quote." The leaders
00:12:26of the National Rally called for democratic debates on issues
00:12:30such as the level and conditions of financial support
00:12:33provided to Ukraine, as well as the adequacy of initiatives
00:12:36aimed at finding diplomatic channels for
00:12:39resolving the conflict. These discussions are legitimate,
00:12:43there is no external pressure - emphasized Le Pen and
00:12:46Bardella. US President Donald Trump announced plans
00:12:50to create an artificial intelligence unit (AI
00:12:54force) and appoint a person responsible for
00:12:57this area, or, as he put it, an AI
00:13:00czar. On his social network Truth Social,
00:13:04"Artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution or
00:13:07the internet, but its impact will be even greater. It may
00:13:11account for up to 25% of our country's
00:13:14GDP." End quote. Earlier,
00:13:17the American president suggested that the public choose a new name for artificial
00:13:21intelligence to more accurately describe this technology. As an example.
00:13:43now about the weather for the upcoming
00:13:46day, those who have already woken up, noted
00:13:50that it is cloudy outside, but the cloudiness will gradually
00:13:53dissipate. In the western part of the country, in the first half of the day, in
00:13:57many regions there will be rains, and after lunch
00:14:00short-term downpours are possible in some places,
00:14:04the wind will be predominantly south-westerly with a speed of 5 to
00:14:0710, gusts up to 17 m/s, but
00:14:11in the second half of the day the wind will gradually weaken,
00:14:14the air will warm up today in Estonia to
00:14:1814, 18°.
00:14:21On Lake Peipus, the wind is south-westerly with a speed of...
00:14:36Short-term rains are also possible, and after lunch
00:14:40the probability of precipitation will decrease, visibility
00:14:43will be moderate and the air temperature today during the day
00:14:46there will be from 15 to 170°
00:14:50Celsius. Atmospheric pressure in Tallinn is
00:14:53751 mm. of mercury, slowly
00:14:57decreasing, and the relative humidity
00:15:00is 90%. The air temperature in Tallinn
00:15:03is currently
00:15:05+14°.
00:15:08During the day, the air in the capital will warm up to
00:15:1117°, which means it will be relatively
00:15:14comfortable today during the day
00:15:17and this applies to almost all regions of our
00:15:21country. The air temperature in Narva.
00:15:28In Tartu, it is also +14° now, a little warmer in Pärnu, already +15
00:15:30there and in Velvo
00:15:34+14°.
00:15:38not a cold morning, as
00:15:41I said earlier, it is quite comfortable to be outside,
00:15:44despite the fact that it is drizzling in Tallinn, but nevertheless
00:15:48this should not spoil anyone's
00:15:50mood in any case, well, we
00:15:53continue our morning program with music,
00:15:57immediately after that we will look at the calendar, see which of
00:16:00famous people were ever born on September
00:16:0320, and of course...
00:16:07We will find out what holidays are celebrated today in different parts of the world.
00:20:23on the calendar is September 20, we will
00:20:26look at it now and start with
00:20:30congratulations to everyone who
00:20:33considers themselves to be forest workers,
00:20:37and... why? Because exactly such an international holiday is celebrated
00:20:41today, the day of forest
00:20:44workers.
00:20:47Many people love the forest. They love
00:20:50to spend time there, walk with family,
00:20:53walk alone, the forest gives incredible energy,
00:20:57and working there is a real gift for those,
00:21:01of course, who adore the forest,
00:21:04and there are many such people in our country, fortunately,
00:21:07and this is great, because
00:21:11these are the people who ensure that forests
00:21:15exist, forests develop,
00:21:18forests, so that... because forests are
00:21:22a treasure, including of our
00:21:24country, well, and generally without
00:21:27forests, it is difficult to imagine a full-fledged
00:21:31life, the forest is the lungs of our planet,
00:21:34we must do everything possible to
00:21:37preserve and develop
00:21:41forests, both of our country and of the whole earth.
00:21:45It is estimated that forests occupy about one third of the land
00:21:48area and the total area. of forests on earth is
00:21:5238 million
00:21:55km and
00:21:58half of this forest zone belongs
00:22:02to tropical forests, a quarter is located
00:22:06in the northern hemisphere
00:22:08of the earth, we are also closer to the northern part,
00:22:12and thank God, that Estonia is rich
00:22:15in forests, lately there has been a lot, of course, of talk. that
00:22:18too many trees are being cut down,
00:22:22but when you talk
00:22:25to representatives of RMK,
00:22:28they usually reassure and say that forestry
00:22:31is under control, not a single
00:22:35tree is cut down simply without reason,
00:22:38and hundreds of thousands
00:22:41of new trees are planted annually to
00:22:45maintain our
00:22:47ecological diversity.
00:23:20peaceful day of purity,
00:23:23there is also such a holiday,
00:23:26it is quite new, but nevertheless,
00:23:29the UN General Assembly considered it necessary
00:23:33to establish it, and this happened on December
00:23:378, 2023, that is, literally less than
00:23:403 years ago,
00:23:42and they decided that annually
00:23:46on September 20, there will be...
00:23:50World Cleanup
00:23:51Day,
00:23:55and this day, of course, is also aimed at
00:23:58making our world
00:24:01cleaner, cleaning it from
00:24:04trash, and in general, its
00:24:07history, this action, this
00:24:10day leads from the Let's Do It
00:24:13movement, which originated here
00:24:17in Estonia back in 2008.
00:24:20In that day, 50,000
00:24:23volunteers in 5 hours cleared the country
00:24:27of 10,000 tons
00:24:30of garbage, which was eventually sent for disposal and
00:24:33recycling. A great, huge deed,
00:24:37it served
00:24:40as an impetus for similar initiatives to
00:24:43appear in all countries of the world, in many countries
00:24:47of the world, as a result, a special
00:24:51day was even established,
00:24:53so that as many people as possible would take
00:24:57part in these events
00:25:01related to this global cleanup,
00:25:04a total of over
00:25:08114 million people in 211
00:25:11countries around the world participate in
00:25:15World Cleanup Day events, which is to
00:25:17say... you can imagine how
00:25:20massive this
00:25:23movement has become, whose birth
00:25:27was in our country back in 2008,
00:25:30so let's also support
00:25:33this, litter less, and it's even better not to
00:25:37litter at all if possible, let's learn to sort
00:25:40garbage, it's not easy,
00:25:43sometimes you're lazy, but
00:25:46still, these small steps
00:25:50eventually lead to big global results,
00:25:53very good ones, which benefit
00:25:57all of us. Also celebrated today
00:26:00is World Rice Day. And
00:26:03it has been celebrated annually since
00:26:062004 at the initiative of
00:26:09the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN and
00:26:13the International Rice Research Institute,
00:26:16which, it turns out, exists, imagine, the International Rice
00:26:19Research Institute.
00:26:22And this holiday
00:26:25has a worldwide character, since rice is
00:26:29one of the most popular cereals on all.
00:26:41using rice,
00:26:44moreover, this date is also an occasion
00:26:47to remind that hunger is one of the global problems
00:26:50of humanity, and to this day it is hard to imagine, because
00:26:54somewhere people suffer from overeating, we are fighting
00:26:58obesity, and somewhere people continue
00:27:01to starve. And rice, as an unpretentious,
00:27:05nutritious and cheap crop, is a staple
00:27:08food for millions of people, and its production
00:27:11and sale feed about 2 billion
00:27:15people. In general, this cereal has
00:27:18a long history, according to archaeological
00:27:22data, it began to be cultivated more than 7,000 years
00:27:25ago, and although it is not reliably known which country was
00:27:29its homeland, but definitely...
00:27:32it happened somewhere in East Asia
00:27:36and the Persians distinguished themselves
00:27:39in the import of rice, they were the main suppliers of it to other
00:27:43continents for a long time, so eventually
00:27:46rice came to Africa, this happened
00:27:49about 2-300 years ago, and then to
00:27:53Europe and other countries of the world, and
00:27:57today there are about twenty species of this
00:28:00cereal crop. Among the main producers are,
00:28:04of course, China, India, Bangladesh,
00:28:08Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, which supply
00:28:11more than 75%
00:28:14of the world's rice harvest to other countries,
00:28:18well, the popularity of rice is no accident, thanks to its
00:28:22beneficial properties and compatibility with other
00:28:24ingredients, such as meat, seafood, vegetables, and
00:28:28dairy products, it forms the basis of the diet for
00:28:32many... people, so even though it's still
00:28:35early morning, it's a perfectly good option
00:28:39to cook, for example, rice porridge, why not,
00:28:43I know many people really, really love it, some like the sweet version, some like
00:28:46the savory version more, any version is good, the main thing
00:28:50is that you like it and it cheers you up, well, and of course, one
00:28:54of the popular dishes, including in our country made from rice,
00:28:57is of course pilaf, many know how to, and love
00:29:01to cook it,
00:29:04but those who don't know how to cook, surely, if
00:29:07they have tried delicious pilaf, then it is one of the
00:29:10hits - of the festive table for many,
00:29:14but maybe today someone will be able
00:29:17to afford to cook some pilaf for lunch
00:29:21or dinner, a great idea, why not, especially since
00:29:25today is World Rice Day, I remind you again, also
00:29:28today is International University Sports Day,
00:29:33so if you consider yourself a student,
00:29:52that ever happened in history on this day,
00:29:55then in 1519, on September 20,
00:29:59Magellan set off on his circumnavigation.
