A Lithuanian parliamentary committee member explains why reducing diesel costs by 6 cents might not lower product prices as intended.

The episode begins with a discussion on reducing diesel costs in Lithuania by at least 6 cents, aimed at lowering prices for transport and agriculture, though its impact on product prices remains uncertain. Algirdas Sisas, chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Budget and Finance, explains the measure and addresses concerns about suppliers potentially not passing on the savings. He mentions the possibility of a tax on excess profits for companies like Orlin Lithuania, pending European Union coordination. The conversation shifts to regulatory issues, noting that Lithuanian agencies lack authority to control international fuel prices, prompting calls for legislative changes. The episode then covers pension savings withdrawals, with more people leaving the system than expected, and reforms needed in sexual violence regulation, citing low reporting rates. International news includes U.S. accusations against Iran over shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, tensions between Israel and Lebanon with recent attacks, and an Easter truce agreed between Ukraine and Russia. A feature segment follows with Ksenia Avramenko, a Ukrainian baker in Lithuania, who shares her family's kulich recipe, detailing its evolution over 25 years and the technical aspects of baking, such as gluten development. The episode reports on claims that the remains of Grand Duke Vytautas the Great might be in Vilnius Cathedral, though confirmation requires Ukrainian scientific help. Other news includes the Artemis-2 mission to the Moon, Lufthansa flight cancellations due to strikes, and a weather forecast for Lithuania. The episode concludes with host Alexander Dvoiglazov directing listeners to the LRT website for more content.
