00:02:09By the way, October 12th is a significant date, it was on this day, in
00:02:131492, Christopher Columbus's expedition reached
00:02:16the island of San Salvador, so this day
00:02:19is considered the official date of the discovery
00:02:22of America. Wow, how many holidays we have on this day, but we
00:02:26won't discover America by saying that in 3 minutes we have another news broadcast.
00:02:30Nikolay Loshchin will open America for us, because only he
00:02:34knows what will be in the issue. Good morning. Good morning, what will the
00:02:37announcement be like? What's in the issue today? Good
00:02:40morning. Today, Madise will take office as President of Estonia.
00:02:44Trade unions and employers will hold negotiations on the minimum wage.
00:02:47The police found more illegal migrants in the Nõmme district of the capital.
00:02:51There will be other news. We are waiting for the issue.
00:02:54In the meantime, let's tell you what topics we will cover in our broadcast after the current
00:02:58camera, that is, in the next half hour.
00:03:03Before starting home renovations, it is worth finding out what work the law
00:03:06requires to be documented, otherwise problems may arise many years
00:03:10later.
00:03:15The day after tomorrow, the parliament will consider in the second reading a bill that
00:03:19provides for new requirements for animal
00:03:22shelters.
00:03:27Well, up next we have a review. This project is a so-called newspaper from
00:03:31October 12, 1931,
00:03:34and exactly 95 years ago, the newspaper Vesti Dnya wrote that
00:03:38the Estonian Union of Temperance Societies was celebrating its
00:03:41twenty-fifth anniversary. On this occasion, a large celebration was held in the large assembly hall
00:03:44of Tartu University, which was attended by several ministers. In the 1920s
00:03:48and 1930s of the last century,
00:03:52the temperance union was a fairly large public organization in
00:03:55Estonia. Its headquarters were located in Tallinn, and there were a total of
00:03:5814,000 members
00:04:05across the country. The Estonian Union was a member of international anti-alcohol
00:04:08organizations and in 1926
00:04:11hosted the World Congress against Alcoholism.
00:04:1595 years ago, there was also an article about a meeting between representatives
00:04:19of the Ministry of Public Education and Social Security and
00:04:22employees of the Tallinn Department for the Affairs of the Poor. At the
00:04:26meeting, issues of combating unemployment and providing assistance were discussed.
00:04:30First
00:04:33of all, it was about a new directive on providing the unemployed with
00:04:36bread from state grain reserves, and special
00:04:39attention should be paid to large families of the unemployed when distributing
00:04:43bread. At this meeting, the
00:04:47issue of organizing vocational courses for
00:04:49the unemployed was discussed. Let's pay attention to another note from
00:04:53October 12, 1931.
00:04:56Vesti dnya also reported on the successful
00:05:00concerts of the Czech violin virtuoso named Vasya
00:05:03Prigoda. He was not just a visiting foreign performer, but
00:05:07truly an international star. Vasya Prigoda
00:05:11became famous for his unusual virtuosic technique, especially
00:05:15his performance of Paganini's music. At that time, he toured extensively in the USA and
00:05:18Europe, and now he reached Tallinn for the first time, where he gave
00:05:22two concerts. Tickets were by no means cheap, but both
00:05:26concerts were completely sold out and the audience was delighted.
00:05:42Good morning, news is on air. Today Ulya Madise will take
00:05:45office as President of Estonia. First, the elected
00:05:49president and her spouse will arrive at Kadriorg, where they will be met by President
00:05:53Alar Karis and Sirje Karis. Then they will proceed together to the square
00:05:57in front of the parliament building. President Alar Karis
00:06:00will greet the honor guard, after which both presidents will proceed to Toompea
00:06:04Castle. At 3:00 PM, Alar Karis
00:06:07will deliver a speech, then Jüri Madise will take
00:06:09the presidential oath and deliver his first address as head of
00:06:13state. The ceremony will be broadcast, including by
00:06:16ETV.
00:06:19The central unions of trade unions and employers will begin negotiations today
00:06:22on the amount of the minimum wage for the twenty- seventh year. According to the head of
00:06:26the Central Union of Trade Unions, Kaeva, trade unions will advocate
00:06:29in negotiations for the decent payment of full-time workers.
00:06:33In 2023, an agreement of good
00:06:36will was reached between trade unions and employers,
00:06:40according to which the minimum
00:06:43wage should gradually reach 50% of the average
00:06:46gross salary in Estonia. According to data for the second quarter of the twenty-sixth year,
00:06:49the average gross salary in Estonia was 2,243
00:06:53euros per month. The minimum wage since April 2006
00:06:57is 946 euros, or about 42% of the
00:07:00average salary, notes
00:07:02Rooser. In the third quarter of this year, the number
00:07:06of registered unemployed in Estonia decreased to
00:07:0838,000. According to the Unemployment Insurance Fund, such a low
00:07:12number of unemployed was last seen at the beginning of the year 2000. At the same time,
00:07:16the number of vacancies increased by more than a quarter over the year and amounted to
00:07:205,250. Most of the new offers
00:07:23appeared in manufacturing, trade, and
00:07:26construction. Competition for jobs also decreased.
00:07:29If last year there were 11 registered
00:07:33unemployed people per vacancy on average, this year there are
00:07:36seven. The board of the Unemployment Insurance Fund noted that
00:07:39the possibility of finding a job still depends on skills,
00:07:42the field in which one seeks
00:07:44employment. The police again detained 10 Sudanese citizens
00:07:48in the Tallinn district of Nõmme who were illegally in Estonia.
00:07:52Around 1:38 PM, the police received a report of two men on Valdeku
00:07:56Street. It turned out that they were in Estonia
00:07:59illegally. Other illegal immigrants were hiding nearby.
00:08:02Law enforcement officers began searching with the help of police dogs and
00:08:06drones. Eight more men were found in the nearby forest,
00:08:09who were trying to hide. One of them resorted.
00:08:26for staying in Estonia, only one had an identity document. As a result of
00:08:27the recent
00:08:31Russian air strikes on Ukrainian cities, six civilians were killed. A grocery store was attacked in Kharkiv, killing three people and injuring
00:08:3520 more, including two children. In addition,
00:08:39a thermal power plant was attacked.
00:08:41The strikes came against the backdrop of statements by US President Donald
00:08:45Trump about an energy truce between Russia and
00:08:47Ukraine.
00:08:50Iran has released a video allegedly showing the
00:08:53destruction of a large oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. According to
00:08:57Iran, this is a supertanker 313 meters
00:08:59long, which is capable of carrying 2.5 million
00:09:03barrels of oil at a time. According to
00:09:06the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the tanker was destroyed by a sea
00:09:10mine after it attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without
00:09:14Iran's permission and with its navigation system switched off. Iran
00:09:17again threatened to destroy all tankers that attempt
00:09:21to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the same
00:09:23way.
00:09:25Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Brussels against
00:09:28the European Union's climate policy. According to police estimates,
00:09:3245,000 people participated
00:09:34in the action. Organizers speak of 60,000. Participants
00:09:38in the action put forward five demands, including raising taxes for
00:09:41fuel companies and stopping the subsidization of fossil
00:09:44fuels. They also demanded a just transition to an environmentally
00:09:48sustainable society and more active international
00:09:51cooperation in the fight against climate
00:09:53change. At the end of the broadcast, the weather forecast:
00:09:57it will be cloudy during the day, it will rain, in the morning there may be thunderstorms in places, the wind
00:10:01is variable at 1.7 m/s. On the northern coast, gusts up to
00:10:0418 m/s. Air temperature from 8 to 13°
00:10:08Celsius. That's the news for this minute, see you in half an hour.
00:10:22October 12th.
00:10:55Estonia, who will work in her team, our colleague
00:11:55or change the heating, before you tackle all this, it's worth finding out
00:11:59which works the law requires to be documented, otherwise problems
00:12:03may arise years later when selling housing or in an insurance case. And
00:12:07in our studio is sworn attorney of Lidl Pilf Law Office, Oleg
00:12:10Matveev. Good morning, good morning, good morning, where is this line drawn,
00:12:14is there a clear definition of what is considered cosmetic repair and
00:12:17minor alterations, and what really requires
00:12:21a new project and approvals? Well, let's say so, yes, indeed.
00:13:25For example, people often demolish a wall between rooms, creating a studio.
00:13:29Sometimes you can see people moving the kitchen to
00:13:32the living room, and turning the kitchen into an additional
00:13:36bedroom or another room. In such cases,
00:13:39how difficult is it to do all this, what needs
00:13:42to be documented, because often load-bearing walls must
00:13:46remain? Yes, indeed, this is a very important question. The law clearly states that if it's 0 to 20
00:13:50square meters of space,
00:13:53well, a house, conditionally speaking, apartment associations naturally
00:13:57do not fall under this, because they are automatically more than 0.20 square meters. Yes,
00:14:00indeed, you need to submit in 11 cases a notice, that is, a construction
00:14:04permit is 100% necessary to formally contact construction specialists,
00:14:08construction bureaus that deal with all this documentation. Yes, we
00:14:11know that in real life, I apologize, very often
00:14:15no one complies with any requirements or procedures, but if, conditionally speaking, you
00:14:18actually add a toilet, make it wider, for example, include
00:14:22a bathtub, then here formally, theoretically,
00:14:25they could find fault, but we know that they don't always find fault. Well, what difficulties
00:14:29can arise here when selling or in an insurance case, because a person
00:14:32rebuilt it, lives there himself, he is happy with everything, it is precisely when selling that
00:14:36there can indeed be 100% difficulties, because
00:14:38even the questions that banks asked, yes, that is,
00:14:42an appraisal is usually conducted, that is, an expert, conditionally speaking,
00:14:45an appraiser with the necessary certified category
00:14:48comes and appraises it. He looks to see if there were building permits, or if there were no building permits.
00:14:52If the appraisal report states that there were no
00:14:56building permits, that everything was done without complying with the rules, then
00:15:00indeed, banks may impose
00:15:02stricter requirements for obtaining a loan. Whether they will give it or not is another
00:15:06question, and I also have a personal story on this topic,
00:15:09that is, let's say, here there is really a lot of responsibility
00:15:13on the buyer himself and the seller himself, if they agree,
00:15:17if, conditionally speaking, the buyer has money to pay
00:15:20immediately, then no problems arise, but if the buyer needs, conditionally
00:15:23speaking, tens of thousands of euros in credit, yes, which he doesn't have, then
00:15:27indeed, these can be very serious problems. And let's take another situation, a person had
00:15:31a spacious studio, and he decided to put up partitions, walls,
00:15:35to make it into a two-room apartment. For example, he did not touch
00:15:38any load-bearing structures, on the contrary, he added structures
00:15:41there, and what in this case also requires these long
00:15:45approvals? Well, you know, I think that still 100% here,
00:15:49it's clear that I can't say yes or no unambiguously, but I would still 100%
00:15:52recommend contacting construction specialists in this regard,
00:15:56I would still consult with them just in case, I would agree
00:16:00with the city, I would call the administrations, where there is a whole
00:16:03construction department, and I would clarify these issues, because, well, as it were, yes, that is,
00:16:06you can do it on a whim, that is, on the one hand, you don't really
00:16:10destroy the walls that were there, but on the other
00:16:13hand, there are a lot of nuances that, as
00:16:16it were, you can, conditionally speaking, get very seriously lost in these topics. Well,
00:16:20there are also nuances that concern, for example, another situation, when
00:16:23apartments are combined, a wall is demolished and larger
00:16:27apartments are made by people.
00:16:30How should this be done, what should be kept in mind? Well, if a wall is demolished,
00:16:33then definitely, I repeat, there must be a project.
00:17:07and if it suddenly turns out that the official data does not
00:17:10correspond, from the same register does not correspond
00:17:14to reality, then theoretically, of course, the buyer can make
00:17:18a claim, but again to the seller, but again, this will not always
00:17:21bear fruit, because you need to clearly prove the damage, what damage
00:17:25was caused, what damage was not caused. If the alteration happened many years ago, can
00:17:29it be legalized retroactively? A very important
00:17:32question. The law clearly states the deadlines. If it happened, conditionally
00:17:35speaking, before mid-2015, then
00:17:39it is assumed that everything is more or less legal, everything will be much more
00:17:42simplified. It even specifies that if
00:17:46it was theoretically done before 1999, there it's generally, conditionally speaking, almost
00:17:49automatic. But if it was done, for example, in 2020, in 2021,
00:17:53that is, as it were, you, conditionally speaking, fall under these... Why exactly 2015
00:17:57is the year, the law, the legislator decided so,
00:18:00yes, that is, conditionally speaking, they decided so, well, probably they decided that, conditionally speaking, conditional
00:18:04limitation periods, conditionally reasonable periods like that. Someone did
00:18:08something, decided to legalize it now, and it turns out that many
00:18:11violations occurred during this alteration, what consequences could force him
00:18:15to return everything to its original state? Well, theoretically, they can indeed force
00:18:18him to return it to its original state, but again, here it's a matter of negotiation, that is, I don't believe
00:18:22that, conditionally speaking, sometimes it will be necessary to demolish everything again, sometimes they
00:18:26themselves give time requirements, that is, some specialists are invited, but
00:18:30again, here it really depends a lot on the local self-government, one local self-government
00:18:33will say one thing, another local self-government will say another. Legal disputes... Well,
00:18:37we were just talking about what can happen inside
00:18:50a house or apartment, but if we take, again, some multi-apartment
00:18:54buildings, then we know that there are many
00:18:57forbidden things, for example, glazing a
00:19:00balcony is not allowed, that all balconies must be
00:19:03alike. At one's discretion, make some kind of.
00:19:37general meeting, that is, you need to look at the charter, that is, a person
00:19:41must ask for permission from the apartment association, here yes,
00:19:45here yes, and the residents must give their consent, yes, in certain cases
00:19:49indeed sometimes all residents must give their consent, in certain
00:19:52cases, that is, simply, conditionally speaking, the majority that
00:19:55voted, but as it were, conditionally
00:19:58speaking, that is, yes, here too there is a very different story, well, again,
00:20:02if this glazing of the balcony was done
00:20:05a long time ago, and it stands now in this form, then it has
00:20:09the right to exist, it turns out so, well, in real life, simply
00:20:13speaking, yes. Oleg Matveev was with us today, sworn attorney
00:24:01The day after tomorrow, Riigikogu will consider in the second reading a bill
00:24:05introducing new requirements for animal
00:24:08shelters. In particular, it is about mandatory
00:24:11operating permits and new rules for keeping
00:24:14animals. Well, we keep this animal, the authors of the changes
00:24:18expect to improve conditions in shelters, but some organizations
00:24:21fear that they will not be able to meet the new
00:24:25requirements. In our studio,
00:24:28who has already been with us, as well as the founder of the Kaselo shelter, Alena Meer,
00:24:31and volunteer of this shelter, Kristina Pritsik, good morning, good morning,
00:24:35good morning, let's talk about what concerns you most, what will
00:24:39change? We are concerned that they want to introduce
00:24:42conditions that cats should be kept in groups of six,
00:24:46with one litter box for each adult cat.
00:24:50If you explain it visually,
00:24:53you take six cats, put them in 9 square meters,
00:24:56put six litter boxes, we won't be able to put
00:24:59houses, a running wheel, they will just
00:25:03sit there as if in litter boxes, well, you could say so,
00:25:06yes. And tell us how your life in the shelter is organized now.
00:25:09Now, life in the shelter is such that it is close to
00:25:12home, that is, there are sofas, there are
00:25:16beds, you can walk on windowsills, you can jump on...
00:25:20wardrobes, there are houses everywhere, that is, when a cat
00:25:23gets home, it knows where to
00:25:26hide, where it can walk,
00:25:29and how it generally
00:25:32exists in the wild, that is, in a large
00:25:34room. Well, it looks like a good
00:25:37intention, yes, that cats have their own litter boxes,
00:25:41that they can only be kept in groups of six.
00:25:44Why are you not in agreement with
00:25:47providing them a good life? Is it precisely because
00:25:51there won't be enough space to put
00:25:55litter boxes and other accessories? That's
00:25:59also true, yes, but still, cats are meant to be...
00:26:02a colony. We, in our case, if we look at the trend, our cats, they
00:26:06can lie in a pile of 10 pieces,
00:26:09purring to each other, communicating. Here, we will simply have
00:26:13to choose, say, six cats from our room, place them in
00:26:16these conditions, and most likely conflicts
00:26:19will begin, because there will be less space, less opportunity
00:26:23to hide, to leave, and this, of course,
00:26:26will be a great stress for them. Well, what will you do if the law
00:26:30is passed? What then?
00:26:34Stop your activities, reorient somehow, what
00:26:37to do? If it's just about rooms, then
00:26:41of course we will have to make all these
00:26:44partitions and place
00:26:47the cats like that, but that's better than what they propose, which is to keep animals
00:26:51in cages. You can keep them in
00:26:54groups of six or in cages, but life in cages is
00:26:57completely not life, they still need to move and
00:27:01walk and... if
00:27:03we have to do it, although we really don't want to, then we
00:27:07are very afraid that the cats may simply die from such
00:27:10stress. And how many shelters do we have in
00:27:13Estonia that potentially may not comply with these new
00:27:17requirements, and what does this mean for them? Closure
00:27:20or can these shelters, say, take
00:27:24fewer cats? Every non-profit
00:27:28organization, because everyone has rooms.
00:27:30Most of our shelters are like that,
00:27:34all of us, the big, large shelters, we ask to be
00:27:38heard, we all understand that this could be
00:27:41the end of this story that we
00:27:43are doing,
00:27:45and also taking in new cats, as we
00:27:48are doing now, catching colonies, catching colonies for a couple
00:27:52of months, of course we will not succeed in this, and
00:27:56it is very important that if we go and we
00:27:59see that there is a colony, we catch every single one.
00:28:03So that there is no longer that colony there. Well, what then if
00:28:06we imagine a black scenario, shelters start closing en masse
00:28:10because they cannot comply with new requirements? What will happen to these
00:28:13animals? Release them into the wild to breed stray cats or will they be
00:28:17euthanized? What to do? Well, most likely yes, they will
00:28:20then multiply there, so
00:28:22that colonies will grow, and if they
00:28:26call, other shelters will certainly come, those who will have the opportunity
00:28:30to keep animals, but they also have their own rules. 14 days
00:28:34for euthanasia, because we all know that
00:28:37cats, most of them, are unhealthy from the street,
00:28:40it all requires a lot of resources, a lot of
00:28:44time. So, if many cats arrive at once,
00:28:47where will they put them all? Now this is distributed
00:28:51among all non-profit organizations and
00:28:54we are coping, yes, that is, for one shelter it will be
00:28:58too much, they simply won't cope. And do we have
00:29:02many stray cats in general? Because if we walk around
00:29:05the city, we very rarely see
00:29:08stray cats now, unlike in other countries where we
00:29:12go and see that there are indeed many of them. Absolutely
00:29:16right, but unfortunately, if we go outside the
00:29:18city, there are people who
00:29:22take them, for example, to the dacha for the summer,
00:29:25I don't know why, in fact, cats don't need to walk,
00:29:28nor do they smell the air through...
00:29:32but that's enough for them, they unfortunately leave them there, many
00:29:36are not spayed or neutered, and if several
00:29:39of them are brought there, then a colony starts to appear,
00:29:43the colony grows, grows, grows,
00:29:46and it can all end very badly. Well, the
00:29:49bill, if it is adopted and becomes law,
00:29:53provides for a transitional period until January 1, 2028,
00:29:56to bring everything into compliance with the requirements, is this realistic,
00:29:59no? Firstly, it will be...
00:30:03too short a period, there is no
00:30:06financial capacity for non-profit
00:30:08organizations, this all
00:30:12costs money.
00:30:15I don't know, there's another point about
00:30:18the veterinary point, yes, that we should always have
00:30:22a veterinarian on site, but unfortunately, for
00:30:24donations, for the fact that the shelter even lives, volunteers
00:30:28don't get a penny, the founder doesn't...
00:30:31that's how it turns out, well, we have clinics
00:30:45with whom we work
00:30:48and it's 7-10 minutes drive from us,
00:30:52if we see that the cat needs some help or some new examination, they
00:30:55accept us immediately, that is, to have.
