00:00:30good too, this day will go down in history
00:00:47Estonia will take office, she begins her five-year presidential term
00:00:51with a high level of public
00:00:52support.
00:00:57The climate law has become a bone of contention in Riigikogu. The first reading
00:01:00took place in June, but since then the promotion of the law has been in
00:01:04question.
00:01:23in the second reading a bill that provides for new requirements for
00:01:27animal shelters.
00:02:00On the Postimees portal, the headline "Joller vs. Ginter" immediately
00:02:04catches the eye. She is lying. A public
00:02:07conflict has erupted between Minister of Social Affairs Karmen Joller and
00:02:11well-known lawyer Kari Ginter. This is all a continuation of
00:02:14the story of police and KaPo access to medical data of Estonian
00:02:18residents, when it turned out that hundreds of views were
00:02:21unfounded. Minister Joller claims that medical data
00:02:25is protected, and the actions of the Tehik information system
00:02:28comply with the law. Lawyer Ginter accuses the authorities of
00:02:32hushing up the problem, points to contradictions between two
00:02:35bills regulating access to medical
00:02:38information. The government proposes to tighten the rules so that
00:02:42without the patient's consent, access would be only with court
00:02:45permission. But Ginter fears that some provisions
00:02:48of the law will still allow circumvention of restrictions. Also
00:02:52on the Postimees portal you can read an interview with Minister of Defense Martin
00:02:55Herem. The headline features his thought that Estonia should
00:02:59think about it.
00:03:02After a visit to Ukraine, Herem said that Estonia needs to seriously
00:03:06review its air defense system, taking into account new
00:03:09Russian jet drones. They are
00:03:12significantly faster than ordinary drones, so existing
00:03:15interception means may prove insufficiently
00:03:18effective. According to Herem, because of this, the
00:03:21effectiveness of Ukrainian air defense against long-range drones has decreased
00:03:25from about 90 to 70%. All
00:03:29this experience of Ukraine, as the minister says, shows that the usual
00:03:32notions of air defense and a safe rear
00:03:36are already outdated. On the Delfi portal, an interview with the head
00:03:39of the Danish company Salling Group, which acquired a chain of Rimi stores.
00:03:43Anders says that there are too many
00:03:46grocery stores in Estonia. In his opinion, some retail chains will
00:03:50eventually be forced to leave the market. At the same time, Rimi
00:03:53itself intends to expand, including by acquiring competitors.
00:03:57Anderhaug acknowledges that their company considered
00:04:01acquiring Prisma stores, but declined due to the unsuitable format of large
00:04:04retail spaces. Haug also notes such an interesting feature
00:04:08of the Estonian market: customers are not satisfied with low prices, they
00:04:11also need a wide assortment. In Denmark and Poland,
00:04:14consumers are much more willing to choose discounters with a limited selection
00:04:18of goods. In addition, Estonians prefer local products, which
00:04:22complicates joint purchases for several countries.
00:04:25And in the opinions section on the Delfi portal, journalist Tiger Väärttma
00:04:29criticizes the double standards of alcohol policy and
00:04:32other addictive substances. The authorities are ready
00:04:36to limit the strength of nicotine pouches and even discuss their
00:04:39ban, but at the same time strong alcohol is freely sold in stores
00:04:43and is considered part of holiday traditions. He provides
00:04:47statistics: last year, 643 people died from diseases directly
00:04:50caused by alcohol.
00:04:53The total economic damage from alcohol consumption exceeds
00:04:56half a billion per year, while excise duty revenues from alcohol.
00:05:14Good morning, the news is on air. Today Madise will take
00:05:17office as President of Estonia. First, the elected
00:05:20president and her husband will arrive in Kadriorg, where they will be met by
00:05:24President Alar Karis and Sirja Karis. Then they will
00:05:27together proceed to the square in front of the parliament building. President Alar
00:05:31Karis will greet the honor guard, after which both presidents
00:05:35will proceed to Toompea Castle. At 3:00 PM, Alar Karis
00:05:38will make a welcoming speech, then
00:05:41the president will take the presidential oath and make her first address
00:05:45as head of state, the ceremony will be broadcast, including
00:05:48by ETV.
00:05:50In the third quarter of this year, the number of registered unemployed in Estonia
00:05:54decreased to 38,000, according to
00:05:57the unemployment insurance fund, such a low number of unemployed was last
00:06:01seen in early 2020. At the same time,
00:06:04the number of vacancies increased by more than a quarter over the year and amounted to
00:06:075,250. The largest number of new offers
00:06:11appeared in manufacturing, trade and
00:06:14construction. Competition for jobs also decreased.
00:06:17If last year there were an average of 11 registered
00:06:20unemployed for one vacancy, then this
00:06:24year there were seven. The board of the Unemployment Insurance Fund noted that
00:06:27the possibility of finding a job still depends on a person's skills and the field in
00:06:31which they are looking for a job.
00:06:34Police again detained 10 Sudanese citizens in the capital's
00:06:38Nõmme district who were illegally in Estonia. Around 1:38
00:06:41PM, police received a report of two men on Valdaku Street. On the spot,
00:06:45it turned out that they were in Estonia illegally, and other illegal immigrants
00:06:49were hiding nearby. Law enforcement began searches, including with the help
00:06:53of service dogs and drones. Eight more men
00:06:57who tried to escape were found in the nearby forest.
00:07:00One of them injured his arm while fleeing and was taken to
00:07:04the hospital. After providing first aid, he was also transferred to
00:07:07the detention center. All ten men lacked legal
00:07:11grounds for...
00:07:36developed and improved a lot and also
00:07:39made it more massive, so that...
00:07:42"on many days they attack already more than before
00:07:46their territory and unlike the Russian
00:07:49Federation, which often bombs cities
00:07:53and then the Ukrainians still continue to maintain that line
00:07:56that primarily military targets such as various
00:08:00air bases, command posts, but
00:08:02they have this other bigger idea always behind
00:08:06attacking defense industry enterprises and also those from which
00:08:09the Russian Federation earns money, so to speak.
00:08:42understand that some of this politics is
00:08:46instigated via our enemies,
00:08:49namely Russia, I think we've been too much on the back foot on that, and
00:08:53we haven't informed people sufficiently about the extent to
00:08:57which people are are seeking to um to disrupt the political
00:09:00process from overseas.
00:09:12coast, gusts up to 18 m/s, air temperature
00:09:15from 8 to
00:09:34Today at noon, Julia Madeza will officially take office as President
00:09:38of Estonia. In September, Riigikogu elected her already in the first round, and
00:09:42a poll conducted after the elections showed that almost 2/3 of the country's
00:09:45residents support the parliament's decision. Our guest is the editor-in-chief of the
00:09:48Russian-language edition of Postimees, Sergey Metlev, with whom we will discuss this topic. Good
00:09:52morning. Good morning. Good morning. Well, as we have already said several times,
00:09:56Julia Madisa's support among the country's residents is quite high.
00:10:00What do you think this is related to? Well, first of all,
00:10:03it's because Julia, objectively, has never,
00:10:06to put it simply, infuriated anyone, right? That is, she
00:10:09is actually quite a neutral figure who,
00:10:13for the last 11 years, has essentially been protecting
00:10:16the weak, because as Chancellor of Justice, her primary
00:10:20task was to respond to all kinds of complaints
00:10:24that come to the chancellery regarding possible violations of citizens'
00:10:27fundamental rights. She also participated in
00:10:31the process of identifying inconsistencies with the constitution in our
00:10:34legislation, which is popular, yes, it is
00:10:38a popular job. Thus, Julia Marlissa, it seems to me,
00:10:41gained an aura, firstly, of a protector of ordinary people,
00:10:44yes, objectively, that was her job. On the other hand, there were no scandals.
00:10:48On the other hand, again, if you look at
00:10:52the support for Ilyamadis among supporters...
00:11:04support Madise, but if we take centrists and Ekre, then these indicators
00:11:08are within 30-something percent only, why
00:11:11is that? It's very interesting that it's strongly
00:11:14related to what the parties said about Julia Madis in
00:11:18the process of her election as president, those parties that stood
00:11:22against her candidacy, criticizing her personality.
00:12:56whom she calls one of maybe the strongest managers in this
00:13:00country, a very interesting choice, in my opinion, was Vladimir Svet as
00:13:04an advisor on foreign policy,
00:13:07sorry, on domestic policy. What is an advisor on domestic policy? Well,
00:13:10in essence, it's a person who acts as a liaison between the president and all
00:13:14parties, important organizations, various centers of attraction within
00:13:18the country, and this is a very important position. So here we see that, in
00:13:21principle, Vladimir Svet has the competence
00:13:25and certain, so to speak, prerequisites for this, yes, but for a long time there hasn't been
00:13:29a person with a Russian name in such a high position
00:13:33in the presidential chancellery, let's be honest, yes, this is a signal to society in any case, because the president doesn't just
00:13:37do anything, this also includes symbolism, so here, in
00:13:39some sense, it's clear that Ullli Madis does not believe that the Russian-speaking
00:13:43theme, which exists within Estonia and sometimes intensifies,
00:13:47is something secondary for her, she will deal with it, or,
00:13:50for example, her advisor for
00:13:53a specially hired advisor for the organization
00:13:55of the work of the Defense Council, the State Defense Council, which
00:13:59exists under the President, this council is actually a body
00:14:03about which almost no one knows anything, they rarely
00:14:06convene it, sometimes if something extraordinary happens, and here
00:14:10Julia Malisa specifically said that she appointed the former
00:14:13Secretary of State Peterkopp to this position,
00:14:16which means that she is not going to fall into the same
00:14:19trap in which the previous president, who complained,
00:14:23objectively found himself.
00:16:54Estonia, who can indeed call the leaders
00:16:57of the US, India, France or Japan and talk
00:17:01just like we are, indeed, this is very important, and not every head of the Estonian
00:17:04state had such an opportunity. Well, as for
00:17:08her preliminary important topics that
00:17:12she voiced, for example, she doesn't like that we have excessive
00:17:15regulation and bureaucracy in the country, but at the same time the president has a representative
00:17:19function, she cannot directly influence domestic policy,
00:17:23how will she promote her ideas? Well, first of all, I think
00:17:27that here we need to remember what presidential
00:17:31authority is in general, it is when different people
00:17:35holding perhaps different positions...
00:18:07this person or we don't want to, and this is her
00:18:10main weapon, because objectively, there are indeed not many
00:18:14constitutional powers that allow the president to somewhat
00:18:25a live broadcast of the inauguration of the new president
00:18:29William will begin. It will be commented by ETV+ journalists Artur Tyulenev
00:18:32and Boris
00:18:33Timofeev.
00:19:59in Riigikogu. The first reading took place in June, but since then the Reform Party,
00:20:03the ST200 party, which were behind this document, lost their parliamentary
00:20:06majority.
00:26:32the bill? Well, we had long agreed on
00:26:36reforms, and now the ball is
00:26:39in their court. Now we have even made some
00:26:43compromise in the sense that these
00:26:47goals would be in the law, but
00:26:50there is a mechanism in the law how these can be changed,
00:26:53but so far the reforms do not agree with this, and if we do not
00:26:57have this law, then what happens? Well, nothing, we just
00:27:01live as we lived?
