00:00:00The circumstances of the incident at Leipzig Airport, when
00:00:03a drone with explosives was found, and a plane collided with an unidentified
00:00:07object in the air.
00:00:11While Vilnius City Municipality is reducing Russian language, other institutions say
00:00:15they do not intend
00:00:38Good evening, Panorama reviews Wednesday's events, I'm Gabrielė
00:00:42Kloniūnaitė, thank you for watching. Following
00:00:45the information about the incident in which
00:00:48a group of migrants attacked border guards at the end of July,
00:00:52Minister of Interior Martynas Katelynas ordered an official
00:00:55inspection of the State Border Guard Service leadership.
00:00:57The head of the service, Rustamas
00:01:00Liubajevas, says that the aforementioned incident turned out
00:01:04to be ordinary, so the minister was not informed in more detail about it. During
00:01:07the incident, the border guards were not injured.
00:01:11An underground tunnel here near the village of Pertakas,
00:01:14Kapčiamiestis municipality, Lazdijai municipality, Kapčiamiestis
00:01:18border guard officials detected by technical
00:01:21means according to ground surface vibrations.
00:01:24The underground tunnel in the territory of Lithuania extends almost
00:01:2710 m. A meter high. The tunnel was dug
00:01:31in the slope of the nameless hill separating Lithuania from
00:01:34Belarus. A metal fence with concertina was installed further
00:01:38into the forest due to unstable soil, so migrants ran out
00:01:41of time to dig to it. Digging a tunnel can take up to a week.
00:01:44Primitive digging, that is,
00:01:47a shovel, a bucket or a container, where
00:01:50the earth is dug with shovels, it is
00:01:53carried out of that tunnel, and the reinforcing
00:01:56structure itself uses wood.
00:02:00wood and that wood,
00:02:03like logs and beams. As border guards
00:02:06prevented migrants, they managed to return to Belarusian territory,
00:02:10but an incident occurred, a couple of dozen migrants attacked four
00:02:13border guards. Some migrants with handcuffs escaped back to
00:02:17Belarus, a pre-trial investigation was launched, but this
00:02:20incident was not publicly announced, only information about the discovered tunnel.
00:02:24The prime minister says that he learned about the incident only today from the media,
00:02:28and ordered the interior
00:02:30minister to investigate the circumstances. The investigation should cover several questions:
00:02:33why not July today,
00:02:37why an incident that likely occurred on July 26,
00:02:41we only learn about it today, well, and probably to evaluate
00:02:45the performance of officials' official duties, with
00:02:48the non-disclosure of information, I have questions, it is certainly
00:02:52unacceptable. The Minister of Interior assures that he himself
00:02:56did not have all the precise information. In the evening, he summoned
00:02:59the head of the border service for an explanation. The border guard
00:03:02chief admitted that he takes responsibility for the fact that the importance
00:03:05of this incident was not properly and fully evaluated
00:03:09and the minister was not properly informed. After this
00:03:13conversation with the head of the State Border Guard Service,
00:03:16I decided to initiate an official inspection, in order to objectively evaluate
00:03:20the actions
00:03:22of the border service management. this could have been my
00:03:26mistake,
00:03:29although. the information was provided to me, but
00:03:32I will repeat once again that I apparently
00:03:36did not fully evaluate that the
00:03:39incident, which
00:03:42according to our initial information was no different from other
00:03:45incidents, would attract so much attention, both from the media and
00:03:49the public. The entire section of the Lithuanian-Belarusian
00:03:53border, almost 700 km, is monitored by video cameras, but only special
00:03:56dug tunnels. Lithuanian border guards equipment helps to detect
00:04:00are helped by their Polish Can you confirm
00:04:03colleagues, who have special equipment and experience, to search for underground tunnels.
00:04:07that several locations are currently being monitored where tunnels may be possible?
00:04:10Yes, yes. Poland already last year announced new illegal migrant routes
00:04:14from Belarus. In December, 180 migrants
00:04:18had broken into Poland through a tunnel. These are very professionally
00:04:21dug tunnels, professionally, as in such conditions, that is, with
00:04:25fortifications, a meter and a half high. The longest
00:04:28is more than 50 m, such a tunnel,
00:04:32which even goes deep into Polish territory, of course, all this
00:04:35is done with the help of Belarus. An informational and
00:04:39psychological war is underway from Belarus, and provocations are also possible, says
00:04:42political scientist Vytis Jurkonis. According to him, the tunnels are being dug with
00:04:45the knowledge of the Belarusian regime's services. Any
00:04:48breakthrough, if we were to let it through somewhere, of course, both Belarusian
00:04:52and Kremlin propaganda would then
00:04:54use it for such
00:04:58information. and for influencing
00:05:01public opinion, that
00:05:04despite all those measures, look how everything is fractured, this
00:05:08is still a psychological war
00:05:10and an informational war. This year,
00:05:14reports have been made about stopped tunnels, it seems that in Poland, at least,
00:05:18it no longer evokes such emotions, some electoral
00:05:21in part, some tense cycles have ended
00:05:24political struggles, and it seems that earlier both Belarus and
00:05:28Russia very successfully used migrants to destabilize Polish domestic
00:05:32politics, knowing that it is a regime state, one way
00:05:36or another, it is done with
00:05:38their knowledge, they either turn a blind eye to
00:05:42what is being done and allow it to happen, or somehow
00:05:45contribute themselves, we have seen that throughout
00:05:48the history of instrumentalized migration. There have been
00:05:5212 attempts to enter Lithuania through underground tunnels, the last one in the village
00:05:56of Latežeris in Varėna district, earlier in Šalčininkai and Lazdijai
00:05:59districts.
00:06:02Comrades bid farewell to the country's first prime minister,
00:06:05Kazimira Prunskienė, known as the Amber Lady. The ministers of the first
00:06:09government say that she was not a boss and was able
00:06:12to unite everyone for reforms. Prunskienė will be
00:06:15buried tomorrow, LRT television and the portal
00:06:18lrt.lt will broadcast a special
00:06:20program.
00:06:27She was not a boss, she was
00:06:29a leader, a herald,
00:06:32a unifier, who inspired
00:06:36everyone to work
00:06:37for Lithuania.
00:06:40Olekas was among the 19 government ministers, all
00:06:44men, who were led by Kazimira
00:06:46Prunskienė.
00:06:48You are working now, men, we were all men, in her
00:06:52government, you are now in your
00:06:55field as prime ministers.
00:06:59Comrades say she had a divine gift for choosing
00:07:02people. Olekas, Biržiškis,
00:07:06may he rest in peace, and Saudargas
00:07:09worked in seven governments I.
00:07:12Mantas, I in five, others
00:07:15in four, so we weren't completely stupid, meaning her merit here
00:07:19as prime minister was that she is a person
00:07:22of organization, she is really capable
00:07:24of organizing, she does not interfere in matters
00:07:28she does not know.
00:07:30She needed not only to unite the ministers delegated by Sąjūdis
00:07:34and the Lithuanian Communist Party, but also to withstand the Soviet
00:07:37blockade and reform everything. That
00:07:40start of independence, when when. all around, when money
00:07:43is foreign, when borders are uncontrolled, when
00:07:47you drive from Latvia after talks with colleagues and see
00:07:50the burning Saločiai checkpoint, and yet we
00:07:53got going, good day, moments
00:07:57of triumph after the first, though unofficial, visits of the Lithuanian Prime Minister
00:08:01to the United Kingdom and
00:08:03America.
00:08:05I had to be with her in America with
00:08:08Bush and and Kohl and and Thatcher, then they called
00:08:12her the Amber Lady and people
00:08:15respected her very much. After
00:08:18eight months, Prunskienė resigned, after protests
00:08:22began over food prices that had increased
00:08:25dozens of times, but all her ministers remained. She was dry
00:08:28at the event and learned that the killings had begun, so she
00:08:32came from her village, she could have gone
00:08:35anywhere, she came to the government, she thought that she met
00:08:38Brazauskas on the stairs, we met her around 5:00 AM.
00:08:44Signatory Česlovas Jušėnas calls Prunskienė the brightest
00:08:47star of the restoration of independence, and not only for
00:08:50her work,
00:08:53she actively joined the entire revolutionary
00:08:57liberation movement and was one of the brightest
00:09:00stars, because in addition to
00:09:03all her advantages, she was also a graceful
00:09:07lady with a very beautiful smile,
00:09:11which I called. and others called amber, not
00:09:14rubber, like Americans.
00:09:18And although Prunskienė was haunted by the trail of cooperation
00:09:21with the KGB for almost her entire political career, she denied
00:09:25it, not only her comrades. Bush
00:09:27was always pragmatic, if they hadn't agreed, everyone would think, would anyone
00:09:31accept her? and Thatcher, and Kohl, and Mitterrand
00:09:35and and all of them together, so didn't they
00:09:38know who was KGB, who wasn't KGB, that bothered
00:09:41us too, that there is a person
00:09:44who, so to speak, innocently,
00:09:48perhaps not without reason, is suspected of such
00:09:51things.
00:09:53The current government also bids farewell
00:09:57to the first prime minister. Mindaugas Sinkevičius says there is something
00:10:00to learn, sincere work
00:10:02and responsibility.
00:10:09German counter-terrorism investigators are investigating an incident.
00:10:12Circumstances at Leipzig Airport, when a drone with explosives was found near
00:10:16one of the runways, and a cargo plane collided
00:10:20with an unidentified object in the air. The aircraft
00:10:23suffered minor damage. Ukraine's ambassador to Germany
00:10:27says that Russia likely contributed to the incident, as Leipzig
00:10:30is an important base for Ukraine's Antonov Airlines, but
00:10:34German officials provide no
00:10:36further information.
00:10:39At one of Europe's most important air cargo centers, a runway
00:10:43is closed, near it and Ukrainian cargo plane
00:10:46bomb disposal experts. At Leipzig airport approaches, police forces
00:10:49and a drone surveying the area. But work
00:10:53here started around midnight,
00:10:55receiving a report about an object found near one of the two runways and the Ukrainian
00:10:58plane. After
00:11:01an operation involving a police bomb disposal robot, it was confirmed that it
00:11:05was a drone with an explosive device. Its fuse
00:11:08was removed. On the southern runway, an object
00:11:12was found that we initially could not identify, but federal
00:11:16police reacted effectively, identifying a possible threat.
00:11:19began a preliminary investigation.
00:11:23Investigations are not yet complete. Due to the danger, the airport diverted some
00:11:27incoming flights. Among them, as reported, a DHL
00:11:30cargo plane, which approached the airport and then
00:11:34collided with a flying object while taking off. Minor damage,
00:11:38according to the newspaper Bild Antar, was noticed
00:11:41later. The incident also involved a plane that
00:11:45planned to land in Leipzig, but could not. It seems that during this process,
00:11:48it collided with something, but eventually managed to land
00:11:51in Hanover. Part of yesterday's disrupted air
00:11:55traffic resumed today, but the Minister of Interior called an urgent
00:11:59meeting of security service chiefs this evening, and counter-terrorism
00:12:02officials launched an investigation. Ukraine's ambassador, in an interview
00:12:05with Welt television, says he suspects Russia. The base
00:12:09of Ukraine's Antonov Airlines in Leipzig. German authorities
00:12:12provide no further information.
00:12:15We know about the risks that unmanned aerial systems pose to air
00:12:18transport. Our task is to ensure flight safety.
00:12:21Sometimes this can only be done by stopping transport, of course.
00:12:25We want as few disruptions as possible, the goal is to identify
00:12:28drones that pose a threat as quickly as possible,
00:12:31destroy them accordingly and ensure
00:12:34safe air transport.
00:12:37A task that is especially important in Leipzig, as German army
00:12:41and NATO allies' cargo is also transported through the airport. But last year, one
00:12:44civilian cargo caught fire in the airport warehouse, and
00:12:47last year a Chinese citizen was convicted for relaying information about flight schedules
00:12:51and cargo movements to a Chinese spy.
00:12:56Tonight, at least 17 people died in another Russian air
00:13:00attack in Ukraine, and the defenders again failed to shoot down
00:13:04a single missile, according to Ukraine, compared to last year, the country received
00:13:07only a third of air defense missiles, and Volodymyr
00:13:11Zelensky says he discussed the shortage with the NATO chief, we warn that
00:13:14some images may be shocking.
00:13:18Russia announces that its targets are logistics and drone parts
00:13:21warehouses, but this morning at a railway station near Kyiv, here
00:13:25in the industrial district alone, Russian strikes claimed eight
00:13:28lives. People come here from Chernihiv,
00:13:32Kyiv regions, it's a convenient transport connection. There are many people in the morning, but
00:13:36also at night, because then the shift ends and some go to, and others from
00:13:40work. The price of delayed air defense missiles
00:13:43is terrible casualties and destruction, announced the Ukrainian
00:13:46president, reporting that Ukraine shot down most of the 115 Russian launched
00:13:50drones, but not one of the 24
00:13:53ballistic and four cruise missiles, their main
00:13:57targets Kyiv and surrounding areas, commercial warehouses,
00:14:00factories. An explosion occurred, we were
00:14:04in the cabin and the truck and another one standing next to it caught fire,
00:14:08we got out, we didn't even have time to grab documents and belongings,
00:14:11but not everyone manages to hide from ballistic missiles, at least 17 people died in the attack,
00:14:15more than 40 were injured.
00:14:19Last night was just terrible, for the first time we felt so strongly
00:14:22the lack of air defense against ballistic missiles.
00:14:30My husband is at the front and just
00:14:31imagine how worried he is when a missile flies towards our home,
00:14:35and so every night instead of resting, he asks, where am I,
00:14:38did I make it to the shelter or not. Near the front,
00:14:41due to increasing Russian strikes, Ukraine announced today that it is starting
00:14:45the mandatory evacuation of children, their parents and guardians from Kramatorsk.
00:14:49It is announced that hundreds of families will have to retreat. As the war, not only
00:14:52at the front, but also in the air, has reached a cruel stalemate. Europe promises Ukraine
00:14:56more support, according to the European Commission, Kyiv is preparing to receive
00:14:591.5 billion euros obtained from the interest of frozen Russian assets,
00:15:03but the Ukrainian president repeats what is most
00:15:06lacking, compared to last year, supporters provide Ukraine with only a third
00:15:10of air defense missiles and Russia exploits the shortage.
00:15:13Reuters news agency quotes Ukrainian intelligence officials:
00:15:17"North Korean unit armed with 120 ballistic missiles
00:15:20deployed in Russia, whose targets are in Ukraine."
00:15:24From the beginning of 2026, Ukraine receives
00:15:27and it is important that the air
00:15:30defense commander can confirm this, only a third of the missiles designed to protect
00:15:34against ballistic missiles, but
00:15:36Ukraine says. also attacked again a warehouse
00:15:40in the Ural region, one person reported injured. Yesterday
00:15:43in the neighboring Moscow region, during a drone attack against a reported
00:15:46warehouse at an electrical substation, five
00:15:49people died. Today, the Kremlin announces that Vladimir
00:15:52Putin has appointed a new commander of drone forces, but the contrast
00:15:56is different.
00:15:59As warehouses near Moscow explode, the head of state was at the beginning of the week
00:16:033,000 km from the capital, in Krasnoyarsk.
00:16:07He participated in a school festival, and residents of Moscow interviewed
00:16:11by Austrian journalists ponder. We really
00:16:14need to start negotiations so that we achieve that civilians are dying
00:16:18on both sides, we feel sorry for them.
00:16:22I wonder why our government is doing nothing to prevent people from dying
00:16:25every day, even in and around Moscow. In the afternoon, Russian
00:16:29media reported yesterday's car explosion
00:16:33in Yekaterinburg, where the head of one of Russia's drone factories
00:16:36was seriously injured.
00:16:39Iran says it has agreed with Oman on a new shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz,
00:16:43final documents, according to Tehran, are still
00:16:46being prepared, according to sources from news agency Streiter,
00:16:49the proposed agreement would give Tehran control over
00:16:52ships passing through the strait into the Persian
00:16:56Gulf. Iran also denied negotiating with America
00:16:59in recent days, when Donald Trump said negotiations took place
00:17:03all day yesterday, the strait will be opened very
00:17:06soon, otherwise there is. another blow.
00:17:08will be dealt.
00:17:12After Vilnius municipality announced that it will no longer accept residents' requests
00:17:15and complaints in writing in Russian, other institutions or organizations
00:17:19are not planning changes. Sodra and the tax inspectorate say
00:17:22they strive to serve clients in their preferred language. So
00:17:26they serve Russian speakers in their native language. Šeškinė polyclinic
00:17:30states that it registers patients with doctors who speak their
00:17:33desired language or invites them to come with an interpreter.
00:17:39Some patients say they wouldn't manage in the polyclinic
00:17:42without Russian.
00:17:45And in Lithuanian, I don't know Lithuanian,
00:17:48well, we need Russian. How long have you lived
00:17:52in Lithuania?
00:17:54Always,
00:17:57there was no such moment that I could speak Lithuanian in institutions,
00:18:01Russian in school, Russian at work, so if you
00:18:04come to a foreign country, then you have. precisely
00:18:08the native language of this country, if this is
00:18:11a special such case, then there should be
00:18:15an interpreter, if let's say people came
00:18:18to us legally,
00:18:20there should also be, everything must be according
00:18:24to the law. On the screens of the Šeškinė polyclinic, there is no
00:18:28Russian language, only Lithuanian or English, but medical services can
00:18:31be obtained. The polyclinic says that when registering a patient, it finds out what language they
00:18:35speak and assigns a doctor accordingly.
00:18:37"The essential moment is the moment of registration and that we must properly
00:18:41assign patients, we know the information
00:18:45about what languages our employees speak, what languages they
00:18:48agree to serve patients in, and based
00:18:50on that, we assign incoming registering
00:18:54patients. We also state that sometimes we ask them to bring an interpreter if
00:18:58there are no medics who speak a certain language. The younger generation
00:19:00speaks less Russian, so that's why this registration moment is important, there are
00:19:04isolated situations, we have also had conflict situations. but
00:19:07we try to solve it flexibly, for example,
00:19:11if such a situation arises, then simply find a colleague who
00:19:14can help in such a situation.
00:19:17The tax inspectorate and Sodra say they try to serve as many people as possible, so they do not
00:19:21plan to abandon or reduce Russian language for now. We only notice that
00:19:25the number of Russian speakers has also increased recently, because due to
00:19:28the geopolitical situation, for other reasons, people are coming from Asian
00:19:31countries, for example, this year until July, about
00:19:3544. "Russian speakers called by phone about
00:19:39tax issues, well, we still adhere
00:19:42to a client-oriented policy, so
00:19:45we try to provide service in the language that the person
00:19:49communicates in, well, it's true, consultants are not
00:19:51obligated, because they must provide
00:19:55services in the state language, everything else is, well, voluntary
00:19:58and benevolent. Vilnius
00:20:00municipality announced that it will no longer accept residents' written requests and complaints in Russian,
00:20:04information in Russian and other non-EU languages
00:20:08will only be provided orally, if the specific employee
00:20:11knows the language. The mayor says this is one of the steps, in general, when providing
00:20:15services in Vilnius, the use of Russian should decrease. The goal is
00:20:18very clear, that in the capital
00:20:21of a democratic state, official languages of the European
00:20:25Union should be used and spoken, first of all, of course, Lithuanian, then
00:20:28other foreign languages, and Russian language, well, this is such, let's say,
00:20:32negligence that needs to be gradually reduced. I don't have
00:20:35such a clear
00:20:37and strict answer now, whether it should or shouldn't be, if it
00:20:41concerned perhaps Russian citizens, then perhaps one
00:20:44answer, but if it concerns well, as
00:20:47they say, freedom. "freedom
00:20:50fighters who left the Belarusian regime and perhaps do not speak
00:20:54other languages or Ukrainians, then perhaps that attitude changes
00:20:57a bit, in some places Russian language is completely abandoned, from January at Regitra
00:21:01Russian speakers can no longer take the driving exam in Russian.
00:21:04Free vision
00:21:07checks in libraries, elder care facilities or
00:21:10nursing homes may sound tempting, but optometrists
00:21:14warn that such services are illegal, as
00:21:18vision can only be checked in licensed facilities.
00:21:22Specialists have questions not only about the qualifications of staff
00:21:25providing such services, but also about the consequences. Due to improperly
00:21:29performed checks, eye diseases may be detected too
00:21:32late.
00:21:35In the village of Traksėdžiai, Šilutė district, residents are offered free
00:21:39vision checks in community premises. Facebook ads
00:21:42promise to check eye pressure or already worn
00:21:46glasses. In another ad, free services are promised
00:21:50to the community of Barnėnai village in Lazdijai district, residents
00:21:53are also offered to shop after the visit. However,
00:21:56not all services here are free, for example, checking eye pressure
00:21:59will cost €10, although the offers
00:22:03seem tempting, both are illegal. Lithuanian
00:22:06legal acts are quite strictly regulated, and, well, personal
00:22:10health care can only be provided in a licensed institution
00:22:14and by a licensed specialist. Requirements are also set for premises,
00:22:17so the National Public Health Center issues permits
00:22:21for hygiene passports, however, this does not stop illegal service
00:22:24providers, they call various institutions looking
00:22:28for premises where they can provide services, steadily
00:22:31chin, do not blink, starting with markets, as
00:22:34I mentioned, children's kindergartens, universities, public
00:22:37institutions, nursing homes,
00:22:41libraries, well, certainly wherever it is possible to put
00:22:45a chair and a table, I imagine, that's where they
00:22:48are rushing. There was one case when, well,
00:22:52there was a person who had no health-related
00:22:55education at all. I have the number of one such company, so
00:22:58I will do an experiment, I will call them and inquire about their
00:23:02activities. After a few seconds of waiting,
00:23:06a woman answers. Listening, it turns
00:23:09out to be extremely easy to order a service, the supposed specialists
00:23:13can come to the community premises in just a few days. I wanted
00:23:15to ask if I would have to pay for any services,
00:23:19or? everything is free, completely free, here
00:23:22eye pressure is free,
00:23:25consultations on possible eye diseases, then
00:23:29they check your worn glasses to see if they are still
00:23:32suitable for wearing further, short-sightedness,
00:23:36long-sightedness and everything is legal, two arrive, so yes, they
00:23:38are optics, it's like
00:23:42an optics salon, but we won't have any problems
00:23:45in the community center, no,
00:23:48we go, you know we go to many
00:23:51communities in all cities, who want
00:23:54um a little, but look there, specialists
00:23:58say, the cost of such checks can be an unnoticed disease in time,
00:24:02how many figures do you see on the screen now, four, four, yes, and
00:24:05they urge not to be deceived, free services are offered
00:24:09out of a good heart, the goal is only to sell a product,
00:24:13which also raises many doubts about quality, and the patient later
00:24:16has no guarantees to complain about, then professionals
00:24:20cannot help either. do not document these services,
00:24:24do not include it in a health visit, what official institutions and
00:24:27legally working optometrists do. Illegal activities
00:24:31do not deter residents. I have heard in both municipalities that
00:24:34elders say no, but
00:24:37communities or cultural centers, libraries
00:24:40agree and allow them to use the premises. About
00:24:44suspicious activities, institutions encourage reporting to the accreditation
00:24:47and healthcare activities service. Illegal activity
00:24:50carries administrative responsibility, a fine of 600
00:24:54€. This year, some municipalities
00:24:58will start admitting children to clubs, financed by the non-formal
00:25:01children's education basket funds, in a centralized manner,
00:25:04just as schools and kindergartens
00:25:21"And for the new ones, before they even started, in some municipalities, after-school
00:25:24activities will have to be chosen through a centralized admission
00:25:28system for educational programs, just as kindergartens and schools are currently admitted
00:25:31online. In Švenčionys district, children
00:25:34currently on holiday say that they are not yet thinking about what they will do after
00:26:01thinking about their children's autumn duties and leisure, but the possibility to register children for clubs,
00:26:05financed by non-formal children's education funds, from August
00:26:0814th is seen favorably. It used to be that a coach from a sports school,
00:26:11for example, would come to the
00:26:14class, look at how everyone looks, how everyone does things, and
00:26:18then talk to the teacher, talk to the students, well,
00:26:21would you like to go to a sports school, for example,
00:26:25yes, well, talk to your parents, come. Now, for example,
00:26:28you went online, when you found a club that
00:26:32suits you, for example, and sent your child,
00:26:36that's it, if it crashes and you can't log in
00:26:39or there will be many logins and again everything is lacking, of course
00:26:43it will complicate things, but if everything works, if we log in,
00:26:46we will see all the lists, for example, what a child can attend, then why not,
00:26:50I think it will help. Five,
00:26:53six, the admission system is accessible by logging in from the website
00:26:57mokauslt, it operates on a one-stop shop principle, from the application.
00:27:00Parents will be able to see the
00:27:05application's place in the queue, as
00:27:09well as what concerns clubs,
00:27:12they will be able to see whether the child has state
00:27:15funding, they will also be able to see available places in
00:27:19clubs and not only in their own municipality where they live,
00:27:22but also in the neighboring municipality, and if it is convenient for parents,
00:27:26they will be able to submit applications for clubs operating in the neighboring
00:27:29municipality. Difficulties should not arise even
00:27:32for those who do not have the possibility to connect to the system online, because, as with
00:27:36registering children for educational institutions, this can also be done
00:27:40in municipalities. Children who attended
00:27:43these NV programs, the provider will be able to send a direct link
00:27:47to the parents' email and they will not have to
00:27:50wander around and will be able to immediately fill out
00:27:53an application that they want to attend that particular club. And the contract
00:27:57will be concluded centrally, there will be no need to sign
00:28:00paper ones, which slightly reduces the administrative
00:28:03burden. Which municipalities have implemented a common
00:28:07admission system can be checked on the website mokaus.lt.
00:28:10This system is planned to operate throughout Lithuania from
00:28:48will most likely be the hottest day of the week. Thunderstorms, heavy rains, and much
00:28:52cooler weather are forecast for this week, followed by a slight
00:28:55rise in temperature. The last month of summer has begun,
00:28:59and in Lithuania, it is forecast to be slightly warmer than
00:29:02usual for August, and less precipitation is forecast. Meanwhile, Europe is experiencing
00:29:06huge heatwaves. Even today, there were reports of extremely
00:29:10high temperatures in neighboring Poland, or in one
00:29:13place, temperatures rose to 41 degrees. France, Spain,
00:29:17Italy, Greece are ravaged by fires due to the heat. So, about
00:29:21the summer, the one that has been and the remaining few weeks of it, in the topic of the day
00:29:24with Professor Arūnas Bukančius from the Department of Hydrology and Climatology of Vilnius
00:29:34is not hot at all, unlike in all of Western Europe, quite the opposite,
00:29:38that it was cooler or cold and quite rainy.
00:29:41Is this really just an impression, or
00:29:45is it confirmed by meteorologists' observations? And in general, if you
00:29:49had to talk about this summer and say what it was like,
00:29:52describe it, what would you say? Well, first of all, summer is not
00:29:55over yet, but if we talk about the first two months, we need
00:29:59to say that June was very contrasting. At
00:30:03first quite variable, and the third decade was
00:30:06even record-breakingly hot, five and even more degrees
00:30:10higher than the norm. July
00:30:14again started with cooler weather, but
