The picture on the left was taken from the news report given on June 14. The picture on the right was taken from today’s report (June 21). Not only is there a difference in coloration in the two pictures but there is an undesirable discoloration around the lower half of the presenter’s (Doina's) neck in the pic from June 14. The “discoloration” is likely due to uneven lighting.
The quality of today’s video is better with a more natural color balance and the artifact around the neck is gone. This is the result of better and more uniform lighting on the subject. Did someone recently pay the electric bill?

Regarding the Russian-Orthodox Metropolitan of Kaluga, Kliment Kapalin, although he doesn’t hesitate to judge what he perceives to be differences and attempts to minimize the tremendous heroic virtue of St.Francis of Assisi, he completely fails to understand what his own Orthodox saint Seraphim has written about judging others:
Non-Judgment and the Forgiveness of Offenses
It is not right to judge anyone, even if you have seen someone sinning and wallowing in the violations of God’s laws with your own eyes, as is said in the word of God: "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (Mt. 7:1). "Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand" (Rom. 14:4). It is much better always to bring to memory the words of the apostle: "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall" (1 Cor. 10:12).
Why do we judge our neighbors? Because we are not trying to get to know ourselves. Someone busy trying to understand himself has no time to notice the shortcomings of others. Judge yourself — and you will stop judging others. Judge a poor deed, but do not judge the doer. It is necessary to consider yourself the most sinful of all, and to forgive your neighbor every poor deed. One must hate only the devil, who tempted him. It can happen that someone might appear to be doing something bad to us, but in reality, because of the doer's good intentions, it is a good deed. Besides, the door of penitence is always open, and it is not known who will enter it sooner — you, "the judge," or the one judged by you.
