00:00:34Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death in
00:00:37Estonia.
00:00:40Elections to the State Duma are taking place in Russia, voters come to
00:00:43the Russian Embassy in
00:00:44Tallinn.
00:00:47A series of reforms is changing the Estonian school system. Teachers are at
00:00:51their limit, and the opposition calls on the minister to
00:00:53answer.
00:00:57Four are in custody, one is wanted, after the murder of a young man in
00:01:00Kohtla-Järve, safety issues were again raised.
00:01:02безопасности.
00:01:05Aktuaalne Kaamera Plus is on air with the main news of the past week. Good
00:01:09evening. The indicators of cardiovascular health among
00:01:13Estonian residents are among the worst in the EU. According to cardiologists, it is primarily
00:01:16necessary to take control of the problem of overweight in
00:01:20children and engage in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in
00:01:23the population. If we talk about diseases that cause
00:01:27the greatest harm to health, then the first place in the world is occupied by
00:01:31cardiovascular diseases. In Estonia, this
00:01:34is also the most common cause of death, including premature death.
00:01:38The peculiarity of heart diseases is that we know quite well
00:01:41why they occur, unlike many other
00:01:44diseases. And we have means to intervene, but these means
00:01:48must be applied and done consistently. According to
00:01:51Elmet, to a large extent these diseases are related to lifestyle.
00:01:55Risks can be reduced by changing one's
00:01:57behavior. It is many times cheaper to prevent
00:02:01diseases, to not let them happen, than to treat them later, that is, to put out a fire.
00:02:05It is very expensive, not only for us, but also for other wealthy European countries,
00:02:09financially they cannot cope with this, and we are senselessly losing the health of
00:02:12people.
00:02:15If in Europe cardiovascular diseases account for a quarter
00:02:18of preventable deaths, then in Estonia this figure is
00:02:2230%. According to cardiologist Allar Irss, to
00:02:25reduce the number of preventable deaths, it is necessary to act quickly
00:02:29in the first place.
00:02:35teenagers, then in 20 years every fifth teenager will already be
00:02:39overweight. It is also absolutely necessary to start working with
00:02:42people who are at risk of developing cardiovascular
00:02:45diseases.
00:02:47For example, hypertension in Estonia is the most obvious target. These
00:02:51people can already be identified based on available data.
00:02:55If we can find them, then education and treatment will help prevent a heart attack
00:02:59or stroke.
00:04:06In Russia, the three-day voting for the State Duma elections has ended, it was accompanied by complaints of
00:04:09violations and technical failures. In Komi, 48 ballots were found with
00:04:13pre-marked votes for United Russia. And in Yakutia, commission members
00:04:17opened sealed packages with ballots before the end of
00:04:19voting. In Moscow, due to a failure in the voter registration system,
00:04:23paper ballots were temporarily not issued. The Central Election Commission also
00:04:26reported attacks on the electronic voting system. The last day of
00:04:30the elections coincided with a massive attack by Ukrainian drones on
00:04:34Moscow and other Russian regions.
00:04:37Voting took place today outside Russia, polling stations opened in
00:04:41Russian diplomatic missions around the world, including the Russian Embassy
00:04:45in Tallinn. At the entrance to the embassy, the police checked and
00:04:48photographed the documents of everyone who wished to participate in
00:04:51the voting. Very strict checks.
00:04:55Is this good or bad? Well, you know
00:04:58with such a situation.
00:06:47Elections are also taking place in Germany, they are being held today in two federal
00:06:50states at once. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, according to the latest polls,
00:06:54Alternative for Germany is leading and is predicted to receive about
00:06:5738% of the votes. In Berlin, the struggle is with a minimal
00:07:00gap. The Left is ahead of the CDU by only one percentage point.
00:07:04These elections are also important for federal politics. After the recent success of
00:07:07AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, pressure on Chancellor Friedrich Merz
00:07:11has increased, especially in...
00:07:21And let's return to local news. The Estonian Open Air Museum celebrated Bread
00:07:25Day. Visitors were able to see how rye was grown in ancient times,
00:07:29grain was milled, bread was baked, and also real butter was churned.
00:07:33One of the most popular places at
00:07:37the festival was the Kutsari Haa farm, where guests were introduced
00:07:40to ancient methods of making homemade
00:07:43butter. We have such a good powerful
00:07:47butter churn here that all the cream that we pour in here already starts
00:07:51to acquire the desired consistency, the cream slowly turns into
00:07:55butter. Guests said, I have never tasted such butter
00:07:58in my life. How delicious it is, simply finger-licking
00:08:02good. I also make butter, but with the help of
00:08:05a slightly older device. Cream is also
00:08:08poured here, and if I now move this handle back and forth.
00:09:12in the autumn session of parliament, they gathered at the building of the Riigikogu for a demonstration with
00:09:16the demand to significantly increase the salaries of public
00:09:19sector employees. New ministers took office,
00:09:22the post of Minister of Economy and Industry was taken by Liina Vahtros, Martin Herrim became Minister
00:09:26of Defense, Erki Kelda moved from the post of Minister
00:09:29of Economy to the post of Minister of Energy and Environment.
00:09:32In Tallinn, about 200 primary school graduates have not
00:09:36yet found a place for further education. More than half of them are
00:09:40young people for whom their native language...
00:10:25Sergey Mikhailov will continue.
00:10:27Starting this academic year, an extended educational obligation is in force
00:10:30in Estonia. After primary school, young people must continue
00:10:34their education until the age of 18 in a gymnasium, vocational
00:10:37school, or preparatory training. But the first year of the new
00:10:40system immediately revealed several problems. At the end of summer, hundreds of primary
00:10:44school graduates still had no place to continue their studies. Additional
00:10:48difficulties arose due to the new admission system SAIS.
00:10:52Of course, it was necessary to create a sufficient number. Kristina
00:11:25Kallos and demands her resignation. The latter disagrees with this assessment. According
00:11:29to her, the new system did not create the problem, it made it
00:11:32visible. The fact that students after the ninth grade must continue
00:11:35their studies, I understand the stress of the centrists, because
00:11:38suddenly the king was naked, that is, they saw that
00:11:42in reality, the fact that they study for 9 years in an Estonian school, but do not speak Estonian upon
00:11:46graduation, cannot enter anywhere, this has finally been
00:11:50revealed in our society, because in
00:11:52previous years these children simply were...
00:12:14but if the problem with study places manifested itself in the first year of the new system, then a broader question concerns several reforms simultaneously. For the ministry, these are different reforms, but for schools everything happens at the same time, new requirements, new teachers, new schedules, the question is whether the system will have enough resources to cope with all these changes
00:12:18at once. Leina Kersna says that several major reforms are taking place in education
00:12:22simultaneously. According to her, the problems are not necessarily
00:12:26in the changes themselves, but in the system's ability to implement them simultaneously.
00:12:30When approximately eight different reforms are carried out
00:12:33simultaneously in the field of education, it is quite understandable that the ministry is not
00:12:36able to prepare them sufficiently in detail. The field itself, on the other
00:12:40hand, is not able to sufficiently accept all these
00:12:43reforms, because it simply does not have the resources to master so
00:12:47many changes simultaneously, so indeed, I believe, scientific
00:12:51data confirms that launching so many reforms at once...
00:13:55somewhere, somewhere, in some places, it is necessary to save, it increases,
00:13:58tensions appear, I think that these are not the most
00:14:01successful reforms, precisely in the sense that additional
00:14:05funding was not allocated. At the school level, one
00:14:09of the main resources remains people. Kristina Kallos says that before the transition
00:14:13to Estonian-language education in schools and kindergartens, there were about 1800
00:14:16employees who did not meet the requirements for Estonian language proficiency.
00:14:20Now, according to local self-government data, there are just over
00:14:23100 such teachers left, but the former minister.
00:14:45Such a measure really helps develop knowledge of the Estonian
00:14:48language, but it certainly does not contribute
00:14:52to improving the quality of teaching the subjects themselves. I
00:14:55believe that first you need to make sure that you have a foundation, teachers,
00:14:59educational materials, support, teacher assistants, so that all this does not
00:15:02ultimately lead to a situation where a student who is not coping in school due to language
00:15:06receives the status of a child with
00:15:09create social inequality, but if we can
00:15:12guarantee all this help, then such a method of immersion in cold water
00:15:16can suit many students, indeed, many. At
00:15:20the school level, the consequences of numerous changes are also seen by the director of the Tallinn
00:15:24Methodology Center.
00:15:37the teachers who work, how much more they can endure, because indeed our
00:15:41teachers work with a huge workload all the time, it all falls
00:15:45on their shoulders, so I'm still a little afraid for
00:15:48the teachers, how many of them are left, for how long will they
00:15:52be enough, because there are really too many reforms, the
00:15:55transition to Estonian as the language of instruction is called the right step by experts, and Kristina
00:15:59Kallos notes that she did not start the reform, but the first results are already
00:16:03showing. As of today, at least according to the
00:16:06registration provided by the local self-government, we have 144
00:16:10teachers left who still do not meet the requirement of Estonian language,
00:16:14that is, in 2 years, we have reached a situation with the reform where a teacher stands in front of
00:16:18the class who speaks Estonian, who can
00:16:21teach in Estonian, because he speaks this language, the children's
00:16:25Estonian language is improving, that is,
00:16:28what are the real claims, while the former
00:16:31minister Yaveksa also draws attention to another level of responsibility,
00:16:35the school itself, what does politics have to do with it? What does
00:16:38the minister have to do with it when the most important person
00:16:42is the teacher and the school director, they can't cope with such
00:16:46simple things as guaranteeing the quality of
00:16:50graduates, I think that there is the most serious problem, unfortunately,
00:16:53another question is how thoroughly the state should
00:16:57regulate school life? Maili Streps believes that schools and teachers need
00:17:00to be given more autonomy and reduce the number of bureaucratic
00:17:04requirements. Let's trust schools again. The course that
00:17:08is currently taken, from the beginning of the school day to any management decisions,
00:17:12this desire for strict centralization, is absolutely wrong. Our
00:17:15peculiarity, our strength, has always been in trust at
00:17:18the local level. One specific teacher in the classroom decides everything, we need to
00:17:21reduce bureaucracy, because look, when you issue an order from top
00:17:25to bottom, how do you control it? You don't go to school yourself, you ask
00:17:29for a report, and the more directives from above, the more the teacher fills out all sorts of
00:17:32meaningless papers, and the more time is wasted instead of
00:17:36doing. the degree of
00:17:39control
00:17:47by the state, and the Minister of Education insists, the main
00:17:50changes are necessary, and their first results are already
00:17:53visible.
00:17:56The police continue to investigate the circumstances of the death of a young man in
00:17:59Kohtla-Järve, four suspects have been taken into custody, another one,
00:18:03Roman Vazamaägi, is wanted. The investigation believes that he played
00:18:06a key role in the conflict, the high-profile incident again
00:18:10raised questions about safety in the city. Dmitry Fedotkin
00:18:13visited the scene of the events.
00:18:16This is a garage cooperative on Endla Street in Kohtla-Järve. It was on its
00:18:20territory on the evening of September 13 that a clash occurred between two
00:18:24groups, as a result of which a 21-year-old man died. During the day
00:18:27it is usually not crowded here, some garages are abandoned and not used, there is a lot
00:18:31of household waste on the territory. We
00:18:34know that it all started in one of the entertainment venues. Later,
00:18:38the parties agreed to meet and sort things out. This is the information
00:18:41we have at the moment. We are currently considering
00:18:45and verifying several versions. Now
00:18:48the police are trying to reconstruct the events literally minute by minute, who came
00:18:51to the scene, what started the conflict, and what happened in those few minutes that
00:18:55ended in the death of a 21-year-old man. Investigators continue
00:18:59to interview witnesses. There were about 30
00:19:02people present at the scene. They are also determining what objects could have been used during
00:19:06the conflict as weapons.
00:20:15a group of teenagers who climbed into abandoned buildings, no,
00:20:19this is very rare, when something happens here,
00:20:23maybe 10 years ago, there was something like that, a car was stolen, the police
00:20:26came here and everything was quiet, only now this
00:20:30commotion is going on in the city, there behind the garages
00:20:33is a dump, but sometimes teenagers hang out there, we will
00:20:36gather.
00:20:50I think that in Kokjarve generally this has been going on for quite
00:20:54a long time, it was all there in my youth, and it still is,
00:20:58and I think it will happen again, it's just that this time
00:21:01it happened that someone died, so everyone
00:21:05knows about it, but in reality, what happens here at night, on Friday,
00:21:09for example, and on Saturday, about that, well, the story is silent, not everyone talks about it,
00:21:12but those who live here, they know everything, despite the resonant
00:21:16incident, the police talk about a general trend towards a decrease in the number
00:21:20of such calls, including those related to fights and violations
00:21:23of public order. The number of calls related
00:21:27to crimes against individuals is also decreasing. At the same time, we take into
00:21:30account the existing risks and direct police work
00:21:33to where it is most needed. It is clear that weekends
00:21:37are a more tense time, people have more free time, alcohol is consumed
00:21:41more often, and in many cases it is precisely this that becomes one
00:21:44of the causes of such conflicts. At different
00:21:47times of the day I am on the street.
00:21:51I have no bad experiences with the streets
00:21:54of Kohtla-Järve parks, fortunately, today we have
00:21:58a concrete plan on our table, we are
00:22:01considering installing additional
00:22:04cameras that will be more qualitative, more
00:22:07modern, and there will be many more of them than now, of course. According
00:22:11to the police, it is important to report conflicts before the situation
00:22:15escalates into a serious incident. We assess
00:22:18risks, communicate with participants.
00:22:24After that, further measures are taken, so I urge you to report such cases.
00:22:36Let's change the subject. The autumn season has started in Estonian theaters.
00:22:40The previous one was generally rather successful for them. During this time,
00:22:43theaters sold almost 1.3 million tickets and played
00:22:46more than 700 performances. In total, there were 700
00:22:50productions in the repertoire, 238 of them new. Compared to
00:22:53the previous season, the number of visits increased by almost
00:22:5620,000, and 11 more performances were played.
00:23:00The most visited theaters in Estonia are the Vanemuine in Tartu.
00:23:04It was visited by 144 thousand spectators. It is followed by
00:23:07the National Opera - almost 129 thousand. And the Estonian
00:23:11Drama Theater - 128 thousand. The most
00:23:14popular productions are Money Land. This performance
00:23:17was attended by 22 thousand spectators. Next is
00:23:20Green Meadows - almost 17,000 and the musical Kinky
00:23:23Boots (15,000 spectators). The theater of old Baskins
00:23:27gained the most spectators, plus 10,000 spectators per
00:23:30season, a growth of 205%. It is followed by
00:23:33the Nuutrum theater, also plus 10,000 spectators.
00:23:37The Estonian Drama Theater closes the top three leaders, plus
00:23:406,500 spectators per season. But there are also theaters
00:23:44that failed to retain their former audience. The Sodalina Theater
00:23:48lost the most spectators. 13,500 or
00:23:5120%, or the National Opera, it
00:23:54lost 800 spectators. At the Sodalina Theater
00:23:58last season, the most spectators were gathered by Kabiria,
00:24:01Dubrovsky clowns flying to Mars. The numbers you see on
00:24:05the screen. And in general, a lot has changed at the Sodalina
00:24:08Theater over the past year. New name, reduced funding from
00:24:12the state, changes in the repertoire. The management admits mistakes in
00:24:15communication with the audience and hopes to regain audience trust. How
00:24:19will the theater return the audience and what will it surprise them with in the new
00:24:23season, Alexandra
00:24:25Manart will tell you.
00:24:27Along with the renaming last year, the Sodalina Theater lost part of
00:24:30its budget, and as recent statistics showed, many
00:24:33spectators. The budget cut
00:24:36inevitably led to a reduction in administrative
00:24:39staff, our actors, but in the end we
00:24:42played 30 fewer performances, and this is also a financial
00:24:45indicator, it's clear why there are fewer spectators.
00:25:04is not as dramatic as Ostrovsky's, and the future of the theater is in the hands of its people, with their ideas,
00:25:08inspiration and hard work, as well as the choices that
00:25:11the management has to make. Anna Lepyaev admits that during the last difficult
00:25:15season with renaming, dismissal of artists, part of the audience
00:25:19turned away from.
00:26:32Where is the theater going? Last year, the most successful performances were
00:26:36Kabiria, Dubrovsky clowns fly to Mars. Also, many
00:26:39spectators and income were brought by the rise of the gods, to a greater extent the Estonian
00:26:43version, My Fair Lady and Figaro, that is, mainly
00:26:46classics, light and musical performances. Of Dmitry
00:26:50Petrenko's works, the theater is currently playing Fathers and Children in the small hall
00:26:53Diva. His "Much Sun" was removed from the repertoire a year
00:26:56after its premiere, the audience did not accept the production. From my
00:27:00point of view, a theater that is in
00:27:03a period of transformation, in a period of change, it
00:27:07is always difficult, it is always difficult for the theater and for the audience
00:27:10to understand where the theater is moving, the theater becomes
00:27:14somewhere sharper, somewhere
00:27:15more unusual,
00:27:18perhaps not very familiar, and
00:27:21the repertoire and perhaps some visual solutions for the viewer,
00:27:24who is perhaps accustomed to something more traditional, what to
00:27:28do if the majority of the audience wants one thing, and the management another?
00:27:32in the correctly chosen course, the artistic director does not doubt,
00:27:35the last thing we want to do or
00:27:39should do is to reproach the audience for not knowing or not
00:27:42understanding something, and no actor, believe me, on the one hand does not
00:27:46want to be unloved, on the other hand no one wants to engage
00:27:49in obsequiousness here, just
00:27:52do it because the audience wants it that way, but we are still talking about
00:27:55art, and a consumerist attitude towards the theater,
00:27:59that the client is always right, but that's not about us at all and...
00:28:32yes, and half a boot, these are also, in my opinion, some names
00:28:36that speak for themselves. Without a dowry by director Dana Ershova,
00:28:40a classic with almost surreal decorations, costumes, the theater already
00:28:44played this Friday, and in another two weeks a new premiere,
00:28:48The Last Knight by Johanna Elm with Elmoga in the main
