00:00:31Good morning, time for news, I invite
00:00:34you to watch.
00:00:37Today, the first Prime Minister of restored independent Lithuania,
00:00:41Kazimira Danutė Prunskienė, is being buried. From 9 AM to 1 PM.
00:00:45In Vilnius St. John's Church, the public can
00:00:48bid farewell to the deceased. At 1 PM, the funeral
00:00:51procession will move towards Antakalnis cemetery. The politician
00:00:55will be buried in the signatory's hill. Farewell speeches
00:00:58will be given, honored with a minute of silence,
00:01:02the state flag will be handed over to the relatives.
00:01:05LRT will broadcast a special
00:01:08for the first time program. At 9 o'clock, the broadcast from St. John's Church will begin,
00:01:12at 12:50 minutes, a special show and
00:01:15a broadcast of the funeral ceremony. Kazimira
00:01:18Danutė Prunskienė died last week, at the age of
00:01:2284.
00:01:28Latvian border guards warn that they lack hundreds of officers, and
00:01:32if Belarus increases the flow of migrants, they will not be able to cope with it.
00:01:34The Deputy Commander of the Border Guard Service told Latvian Radio that their
00:01:38forces have long been stretched. The Prime Minister mentions
00:01:40plans to involve the army more, but for now does not promise
00:01:44stricter sanctions against Minsk. Meanwhile, Estonia
00:01:47returned the first eight detained
00:01:50migrants to Latvia.
00:01:51The only still operating border
00:01:55crossing with Belarus has been reopened after almost a week
00:01:58of closure, which officials explained with technical
00:02:02problems. This cheered up carriers, but border guards say that
00:02:06if the crossing were closed completely, the 100 border guards
00:02:09working there could be directed elsewhere, to protect
00:02:12the most vulnerable sections of the border. The Border
00:02:15Guard Service warned the Ministry of Interior that even under normal
00:02:18conditions there is a shortage of 1.5 officers,
00:02:21to repel a larger migrant attack at least 400 more
00:02:25would be needed. It is being considered to involve the army
00:02:27more widely.
00:02:31It is very important and encouraging that and the army are cooperating, there is a concrete
00:02:34plan and the main goal is to cut off the main arteries
00:02:38of this operation. The main artery is
00:02:41the transport network, it has become a business where drivers are hired
00:02:44to transport migrants. If you remove this, if you remove
00:02:48the support networks in Latvia, the whole operation will become much less
00:02:52attractive, wandering through forests and swamps and not knowing where
00:02:55you will end up.
00:02:56Its border guards have strengthened
00:03:00patrolling not only near the border with Latvia, but also where migrants
00:03:03can travel further to northern countries, airports and
00:03:06ports. Yesterday for the first time, eight
00:03:09Ethiopian citizens were returned to Latvia.
00:03:12This year we have already identified and detained
00:03:15more than 100 people due to illegal migration in Estonian
00:03:18territory. In comparison, last year we detained 39
00:03:22people due to illegal migration.
00:03:25Estonia, like Lithuania and Finland,
00:03:30with Belarus in Latvia itself, but its border
00:03:34service says that the situation is already dramatic and its forces
00:03:37have long been exhausted, without additional resources it will
00:03:40become impossible to protect itself, especially if the pressure from Belarus
00:03:43increases. The government has already announced sanctions to limit
00:03:47the import of Belarusian goods. We are considering all options and this
00:03:50is one of the unresolved issues, to take action against Belarus because
00:03:53it deliberately launched this hybrid attack against us.
00:03:57The tightened border regime has been introduced until the end
00:04:01of this year. Iran says that negotiations with Oman
00:04:04on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz are nearing an end.
00:04:08The Deputy Foreign Minister
00:04:10stated that bilateral agreements and routes for ships using
00:04:14this waterway are being discussed. Citing sources, news
00:04:18agency Reuters reports that a new agreement with... would grant
00:04:22Tehran the right to control shipping. Iran wants
00:04:25passing ships to pay a levy of up to 7%
00:04:28of the value of the cargo carried. Any possibility
00:04:31of such levies was previously strongly rejected by the United
00:04:35States. This year, some municipalities
00:04:39will start accepting applications for clubs funded
00:04:42by non-formal children's
00:04:44education funds
00:04:48centrally, just as schools are currently accepted.
00:04:51and
00:04:55in that sense, we always look, look, look.
00:04:57Summer camp by Lake Pailgis. Children and parents gathered
00:05:01even before the school year was likely over.
00:05:05And here, before the new school year has even begun,
00:05:09in some municipalities, after-school activities will have
00:05:13to be chosen through a centralized admissions information system
00:05:16for educational programs, just as kindergartens
00:05:20or schools are currently accepted online. In Švenčionys
00:05:23district, children currently on holiday say
00:05:27they are not yet thinking about what they will do after
00:05:30school. Oh, I attend
00:05:33a Minecraft club on Friday.
00:05:35And this year will you apply? I don't know.
00:05:39And Vytautas, what would he like to do? After
00:05:42school, I don't know, just hang out with friends
00:05:45and no extracurricular activities additionally
00:05:49needed. Parents also say they are not yet
00:05:53really thinking about their children's autumn duties and leisure,
00:05:57but they welcome the possibility of registering children for clubs
00:06:01funded by non-formal children's education funds from August 14.
00:06:04There used to be a coach from a sports school, for example,
00:06:08who would come to the class, see how everyone was doing, and then
00:06:11talk to the teacher, talk to the students, well, would you,
00:06:15for example, like to go to a sports school? Well, yes,
00:06:19talk to your parents, come. Now, for example, you went online,
00:06:22chose what suits you, what club suits
00:06:26you, for example, and sent the child.
00:06:30That's it, if it stalls and you can't connect
00:06:33or there will be many connections and again, everything is missing, of course
00:06:37it will complicate things, but if everything works, if we connect,
00:06:40we will see all the lists, for example. what a child can attend, then why not,
00:06:44I think it will help. The admission system
00:06:47is accessible by logging in from the website
00:06:50mokaus.lt, it works on a one-stop-shop principle, from
00:06:54submitting an application to signing a contract,
00:06:58parents will be able to see the application's place in the queue,
00:07:01as well as what concerns clubs,
00:07:04they will be able to see whether the child has state funding,
00:07:07they will also be able to see free places in clubs
00:07:11and not only. in their municipality where they live,
00:07:14but also in the neighboring municipality, and if it is convenient
00:07:18for parents, they will be able to submit applications for clubs conducted
00:07:21in the neighboring municipality. Difficulties should not arise
00:07:24even for those who do not have access to the system online,
00:07:28because just like when registering children for educational institutions, it will be
00:07:32possible to do so in municipalities. Children who
00:07:36attended those NFE programs, the provider will be able
00:07:39to send a link directly to the parent's email and they will not have
00:07:42to wander around and will be able to fill out
00:07:45the application immediately, that they want to attend that particular
00:07:49club, and the contract will be concluded centrally,
00:07:51there will be no need to sign paper ones, which reduces
00:07:55the administrative burden a bit. Which municipalities have implemented
00:07:59a common admissions system can be checked on the website
00:08:02mokaus.lt. Throughout Lithuania, this system is planned
00:08:05to operate from January.
00:08:08One of the most famous artists in the world,
00:08:1097-year-old Japanese artist Yayoi
00:08:13Kusama, never ceases to amaze. Her retrospective
00:08:17exhibition became the most successful ever held at the Museum Ludwig
00:08:21in Cologne. A month later, this exhibition awaits visitors
00:08:25in Amsterdam.
00:08:28The exhibition of works by Japanese painter, sculptor, installation, and
00:08:31performance artist Yayoi Kusama became the most successful in the history
00:08:35of the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, celebrating its 50th anniversary
00:08:38this year. The exhibition, which ran from March to August,
00:08:42attracted more than 45,000 visitors.
00:08:44On the last nights, the museum was open until dawn, and visitors
00:08:47queued around the entire block to see the
00:08:50works of the 97-year-old Japanese artist for the last time.
00:08:53This is the most successful
00:08:56exhibition at the Ludwig
00:08:59Museum, celebrating its 50th anniversary, and Kusama's
00:09:02exhibition attracted almost 470,000 visitors.
00:09:06They came, they were happy, they told their
00:09:10friends about it and shared photos on Instagram, which
00:09:13attracted even more people.
00:09:16Yellow dots and tentacles, a mirrored infinity
00:09:19room, are the most recognizable elements of Kusama's work. The artist's childhood
00:09:23experiences, including hallucinations where she saw
00:09:27dots, flowers, and other repeating patterns
00:09:30enveloping her entire body, span her entire
00:09:33artistic career. The exhibition invited visitors on an impressive
00:09:37journey through Kusama's world. From her first drawing,
00:09:41created around 1934,
00:09:431934-tuosius
00:09:46to a newly commissioned installation, more than
00:09:49300 works covering a wide spectrum: painting, drawing,
00:09:52sculpture, installations, fashion, performances, and
00:09:55literature. The exhibition was displayed not only in the exhibition
00:09:58halls of the Museum Ludwig, but also in other spaces of the building,
00:10:02including the roof
00:10:02terrace.
00:10:06Kusama, this is truly a special artistic vision, the exhibition
00:10:10is both fun and exciting, which is very rare.
00:10:15The previous attendance record at this museum belonged to
00:10:18an exhibition of works by American Edward Hopper held here
00:10:21twenty years ago, which attracted about 380
00:10:25visitors. The Ludwig Museum is an important European
00:10:29institution of modern and contemporary art, due to its rich
00:10:32collection, which includes significant works of pop art,
00:10:35German expressionism, and photography. Yayoi Kusama's
00:10:38exhibition will travel from Cologne to the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam,
00:10:42where it will open in mid-September.

00:20:10It's really hot not only in Lithuania, with the ongoing summer
00:20:13heatwaves continue to roll across the world. In Poland,
00:20:17in some places, 41 degrees Celsius was recorded
00:20:20in the past day, and in another part of the world, Japan,
00:20:24thermometers reach about 34-35
00:20:26degrees during the day.
00:20:29How countries cope with this heat and how it changes
00:20:33people's lives, we will now discuss with LRT correspondents,
00:20:36one of whom is in Japan, Andrius Kleiva,
00:20:39good morning, good morning, or rather good day,
00:20:43to Japan, as well as LRT correspondent in Poland,
00:20:46Laurynas Vaičiūnas, good morning, Laurynas,
00:20:49good morning! Andriau, let's first go to you in
00:20:53Japan, in recent years, the country has indeed been tormented
00:20:56by high temperatures, and these heatwaves last a long
00:21:00time, is this summer an exception, or would you say that such
00:21:03hot Japanese summers are becoming a rule?
00:21:07Yes, as you rightly noted,
00:21:10Japan was indeed used to hotter
00:21:14summers, and, as elsewhere
00:21:17they are called. heatwaves. In Japan, the whole
00:21:21summer is a heatwave, the biggest problem is that
00:21:24those heatwaves are getting longer, the summers
00:21:28themselves are getting longer and the heat
00:21:30is getting more intense, and the Japanese Meteorological
00:21:34Agency had indeed prepared
00:21:37several categories of heat,
00:21:40with which they warned people about certain
00:21:44temperature changes. And there were, for example, summer days when
00:21:48the thermometer exceeded 25
00:21:52degrees, a heatwave when the thermometer exceeded 35
00:21:56degrees, and this year
00:21:58a new warning standard was announced,
00:22:02that is, an extreme heat day, when
00:22:05thermometers exceeded 40,
00:22:09and indeed this year in some regions of the country
00:22:12this warning has already been issued,
00:22:16so that people try to take care of themselves, take
00:22:19care of others and
00:22:23prepare for this
00:22:26different heat episode,
00:22:29and
00:22:32know that summer is changing,
00:22:35that Japan is changing. Andrius, even now, while you
00:22:39were speaking, viewers could see images of
00:22:42people enjoying water sprayed in the streets,
00:22:46how the Japanese and authorities are adapting
00:22:50to this new reality, what measures are being taken
00:22:53in public spaces, in public transport,
00:22:56and eventually in workplaces.
00:22:59The main element that
00:23:02saves many Japanese is undoubtedly
00:23:05air conditioning. And for many years,
00:23:09especially older people know that
00:23:12air conditioning used to be more of
00:23:15a luxury item, a luxury tool
00:23:18that can be turned on
00:23:22to cool down, but especially
00:23:25younger generations, they have to remind
00:23:28those older generations that air conditioning
00:23:32is simply a life-saving tool,
00:23:34because there are also known cases of people
00:23:38dying from heatstroke not outdoors, but
00:23:41indoors, therefore,
00:23:44at home, and in public
00:23:47transport, and in workplaces. this tool
00:23:51is used, and what you see on the screen
00:23:54right now, is an element of a new
00:23:58campaign, where Japanese people are invited
00:24:02to wear shorts instead of long
00:24:06trousers, and thus
00:24:08change their clothing and live a little cooler.
00:24:12Shorts, a new reality in Japan, which was not
00:24:15so common until now, especially
00:24:19at work. So far, it is a very unusual
00:24:23tool that allows fighting
00:24:27the heat, Japanese people are not
00:24:30used to it, but it must be said that
00:24:32a few years ago, when this whole campaign,
00:24:36that is, all businesses were
00:24:39announced, people were invited to switch from
00:24:42jackets to shirts, from
00:24:46suit shoes to just
00:24:49ordinary sneakers, there was also a lot
00:24:52of such unrest, how other people
00:24:54would react to these new clothes, but eventually
00:24:58people got used to it, so we can only hope
00:25:02that people will eventually get used to shorts,
00:25:18Laurynas, Laurynas in Poland, this is probably the second
00:25:22heatwave, but in recent summers
00:25:24such heatwaves are also becoming
00:25:26more frequent. Indeed, heatwaves in Poland are increasing,
00:25:30this one now seems to last
00:25:33a week, of course temperatures reached 37-38
00:25:36degrees, but next week is expected to be
00:25:40just as hot, about 32 degrees, so in terms of Lithuania,
00:25:43it definitely seems hot, but what really makes
00:25:47not many people happy, is that at least
00:25:51the records that were broken on June 28,
00:25:54at the end of June, these weeks, we will most likely
00:25:57not reach those records, people have to get used
00:26:01to and are gradually getting used to these heatwaves,
00:26:05what the Polish Prime Minister also said yesterday, for now
00:26:08it is an unusual experience for Poland, but it seems
00:26:12that both the cities themselves and the residents
00:26:15understand the threats posed by such
00:26:18heat, Poland is a neighbor closer
00:26:22to us than Japan, so we can better imagine
00:26:26how they are cooling down, but in fact, what
00:26:29measures are used in cities, in public spaces.
00:26:33transportation, or so far it's still more limited to those
00:26:37usual warnings for us not to spend time in the open
00:26:40sun, if possible, to be in a cool room or at least
00:26:43in the shade.
00:26:46Of course, the closest and most familiar part of Poland for Lithuania
00:26:49is the northern corner, which is Poland's cold
00:26:52spot, so even these days, when things are very
00:26:56bad in Southern Poland, Sejny, Suwalki or
00:27:00or precisely the Coastal region is actually suffering. Even
00:27:03there, the warnings are at a slightly lower level than in Southern Poland, and
00:27:07mainly, of course, in cities, what
00:27:10is that cities, men are responsible and precisely prepare all kinds of
00:27:13infrastructure that would help to cool down
00:27:16in the streets, there is a lot of talk about it and there is talk about the fact that maybe
00:27:20it worked in March, now when some went and suddenly broke down, so
00:27:24there are also attempts and at least what Polish
00:27:27municipalities are doing is simply learning from their mistakes and trying to
00:27:30react better to... to the needs of the residents, this is one
00:27:34thing that experts really generally notice, it is that the most important
00:27:38thing is awareness, there is an understanding that there are all kinds of, very real,
00:27:41big threats to the health of residents,
00:27:44therefore it is important to be together, together, to check how
00:27:48the neighbors feel, just don't be afraid to ask if everything is okay, simple
00:27:51questions that can sometimes annoy, the same SMSs that maybe
00:27:55already annoy Polish citizens black, that we always get those
00:27:59SMSs, those messages, that we should be careful, but that... is also very
00:28:02important in raising self-awareness, so that people understand that heat is not
00:28:06a joke, and if we were talking about
00:28:09the government, the government specifically in July adopted a resolution that
00:28:13employers must stop work if the temperature in the room reaches
00:28:1635 degrees, and outside, specifically when doing heavy work,
00:28:20if the temperature exceeds 32 degrees. Very
00:28:24briefly, whether
00:28:27such an obvious climate change, those heat
00:28:30waves, caused some discussion in the country about
00:28:34the climate crisis in general?
00:28:38In Poland, the climate issue precisely because of the very
00:28:41specific energy sector is a rather sensitive issue and
00:28:45in fact we don't see
00:28:48too much discussion on this topic in Poland,
00:28:52we talk more about how to protect ourselves and how to simply come to terms
00:28:56with what is coming and what is natural, how to protect nature itself
00:29:00more, not how to change maybe some existing consumption
00:29:03habits, but how to specifically conserve, how
00:29:07the grass would not be mowed in cities, how natural water
00:30:24Good morning, it is now news time, I invite
