[00:01:25] News is on air, I'm Alena Melnitskaya. Here's a brief
[00:01:28] overview. Expanding cooperation with Africa.
[00:01:32] The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Algeria is on an official visit to Belarus. The key
[00:01:35] event is a meeting with the president.
[00:01:38] Clearing the information field and strict censorship. Trump threatened prison for
[00:01:42] reporting a shortage of missiles in the US. On time,
[00:01:45] high quality, the course to the sixth million is at full speed. Famous regions
[00:01:49] that were the first to complete the harvest of grain.
[00:01:53] Belarus and Algeria can agree on the implementation of many projects. This
[00:01:57] was stated by Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting with the state minister, Minister
[00:02:00] of Foreign Affairs of the Algerian Republic, Ahmed
[00:02:03] Attaf. Our president also assessed the current level
[00:02:07] of relations between Minsk and Algeria.
[00:02:10] I am still impressed by
[00:02:13] my meeting with your president. The main
[00:02:16] conclusion I drew from this meeting
[00:02:20] is that Algeria and I
[00:02:23] can agree on the implementation
[00:02:27] of many projects. The basis of this...
[00:03:30] the country's security are working at maximum capacity. According to the Ministry
[00:03:33] of Agriculture and Food, Stolinsky and Zhabinkovsky districts have completed
[00:03:37] the harvesting of grain and leguminous crops. In total, 15%
[00:03:40] of the areas in the Brest region remain to be harvested.
[00:03:44] 1.2 million tons of grain have been threshed, excluding rape, with an average
[00:03:47] yield of 4-6 centners per hectare. The farms of Kaminets,
[00:03:50] Ivanovo, Brest, Pruzhany
[00:03:54] and Drogichin districts are nearing completion. In the Brest region, the harvesting
[00:03:57] of winter crops was also completed with a record threshing. The farms
[00:04:01] of the region harvested 237 tons of this
[00:04:03] crop, the yield was 32.6 centners per
[00:04:07] hectare. Compared to last year's result, agricultural enterprises of the region
[00:04:10] received an increase of 72,000 tons and
[00:04:13] 6.5 centners per hectare. The highest
[00:04:16] yield of this crop in Lyakhovichi district is
[00:04:19] 44.8 centners per hectare.
[00:04:23] The intense heat does not subside in Belarus, today again a red
[00:04:26] danger level. For several days the country has been living in conditions
[00:04:30] of scorching heat, special equipment is used to cool the streets,
[00:04:33] reservoirs and rivers are becoming shallow, and the temperature reaches peak values. What to expect from the weather
[00:04:37] for Belarusians, Margarita
[00:04:40] Yuzufovich. Belarus for the second day is languishing from anomalous
[00:04:44] heat, the thermometer in the south of the country reaches 40°,
[00:04:47] in the north from 29 to 33. Temperature
[00:04:51] records are being broken not only on land, but also in reservoirs, the water has warmed up
[00:04:55] to peak values. For example, the Soligorsk reservoir
[00:04:59] shows 26°, Zaslavskoye, but
[00:05:02] already Minsk Sea and Chegerinskoye reservoir +24,
[00:05:05] Onaroch and Braslav Lakes - 23. Due to the intense heat and
[00:05:09] lack of rain, rivers are rapidly shallowing, losing from
[00:05:12] 1 to 11 cm per day. On the main waterways,
[00:05:15] water levels have fallen below the limits necessary for
[00:05:19] navigation. A red danger level has been declared over most
[00:05:22] of the territory +35 to +40, in some places +30
[00:05:26] to +34. It is also worth noting that emergency brigades
[00:05:29] have been put on round-the-clock duty. The main focus is on stable operation
[00:05:33] of life support systems. In case of overloads, backup
[00:05:37] power sources have been prepared. Forests and parks are being patrolled more intensively
[00:05:40] to prevent fires. If necessary, watering equipment will be used,
[00:05:44] roads are cyclically watered in the heat to cool them down
[00:05:47] and protect them from deformation, and flowers and greenery are cared for according to
[00:05:51] a schedule, watered either in the morning or at sunset, so that
[00:05:54] the roots have time to soak. We are monitoring the situation, and colleagues, I hand
[00:05:58] it over to you. Thank you, Margarita, the heat continues
[00:06:01] to keep Belarus
[00:06:02] on its toes.
[00:06:08] History lessons that the West prefers to keep silent about.
[00:06:12] Hiroshima is hosting memorial events today dedicated to the eighty-first
[00:06:16] anniversary of the American atomic bombing. The striking
[00:06:20] of the Peace Bell at exactly 8:15 AM
[00:06:23] broke the silence and started a universal minute of silence.
[00:06:26] This clear sound is an eternal reminder of hundreds of thousands
[00:06:29] of lives incinerated by American nuclear weapons in
[00:06:32] 1945. Washington still
[00:06:35] cynically refuses to offer official
[00:06:38] apologies.
[00:06:54] And again, in official statements regarding the memorable date, the country
[00:06:57] that dropped the bomb is not mentioned. The UN Secretary-General issued
[00:07:01] a message in which he appealed to the residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and
[00:07:05] also to all humanity, with a warning about the danger
[00:07:08] of nuclear weapons, and the United States was not
[00:07:11] mentioned by Guterres. Similar silence in the speeches
[00:07:15] of the Prime Minister of Japan and the Mayor of Hiroshima. Thus, from the point
[00:07:18] of view of official Japanese discourse, the bombings were carried out by
[00:07:22] some unknown entity. Such omissions have extremely deplorable consequences. Half
[00:07:26] of Japanese people find it difficult to name the country that bombed them, and more than a third
[00:07:30] of schoolchildren believe it was the Soviet Union. Let me remind you that the bomb with
[00:07:33] the code name "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6,
[00:07:37] 1945.
[00:07:40] Washington is cleaning up the info field. They are introducing strict censorship: in the USA, they will
[00:07:44] seek longer prison sentences for those who publish information
[00:07:48] about an alleged shortage of ammunition in the country. Donald Trump made such a statement.
[00:07:51] According to the American leader, public talk
[00:07:55] about a shortage of shells undermines national security and makes the
[00:07:58] state appear weak before geopolitical opponents.
[00:08:02] The White House intends to demonstratively punish the authors of such
[00:08:05] publications, and as The Washington Post previously reported, citing sources in
[00:08:09] the American administration. Trump believes that the head of the Pentagon,
[00:08:12] Hekst, misled him regarding the depleted weapons
[00:08:16] stocks during the war with Iran. Trump claims that the
[00:08:19] US has a huge amount of ammunition, and defense
[00:08:22] enterprises are building the most factories in the country's
[00:08:26] entire history. European solidarity is only on
[00:08:30] paper. Ukraine officially refused Moldova emergency
[00:08:33] electricity supplies. Chisinau's request was urgently sent to Kyiv
[00:08:37] against the backdrop of a deep energy crisis in the republic. However,
[00:08:41] the Ukrainian side stated that its own energy system is operating
[00:08:44] at its limits and there are no spare capacities to save its neighbors.
[00:08:48] It is noteworthy that previously, Moldovan authorities actively supported
[00:08:52] the Kyiv regime, destroying their own economic ties.
[00:08:55] Now, when Moldova is on the verge of an energy collapse,
[00:08:59] Kyiv, without hesitation, left its partner without assistance. Experts
[00:09:03] note that this gesture clearly shows the true price of backroom
[00:09:06] alliances in the West.
[00:09:09] The anomalous heat has become a critical blow to the EU energy system.
[00:09:13] Let's hear an expert's opinion. The EU energy system, it
[00:09:17] was, frankly, not in
[00:09:20] very good condition, after
[00:09:23] the effects that, uh,
[00:09:26] followed the introduction of anti-Russian
[00:09:30] sanctions. Uh, but, here
[00:09:32] the reason, it's quite simple, by and large,
[00:09:36] Europe, uh,
[00:09:39] it, uh, actually massively,
[00:09:43] guided by political and opportunistic
[00:09:45] considerations, refused what was
[00:09:49] profitable for it from an economic point of view,
[00:09:53] no one took into account, in fact,
[00:09:56] the possibility of various natural disasters,
[00:10:00] yes, but then an anomalous heatwave occurred,
[00:10:03] and it became quite difficult to generate
[00:10:07] electricity, yes, it's clear that hydropower
[00:10:10] plants and
[00:10:13] power stations simply cannot cope in these
[00:10:16] conditions.
[00:10:23] Railway troops. Belarus is 150 years old. Alexander
[00:10:26] Lukashenka congratulated the personnel and veterans of the transport troops
[00:10:30] on their professional holiday. The head of state noted that today,
[00:10:33] as part of the transport troops, Belarusian railway soldiers
[00:10:36] honorably continue the relay race of courage
[00:10:40] of the generation of victors, successfully mastering new types of weapons and
[00:10:44] equipment, constantly improving the system of transport support
[00:10:47] for the armed forces and civilian infrastructure. I am convinced that
[00:10:51] you will continue to do everything possible to strengthen the defense capability
[00:10:55] of our country and ensure high mobility of troops, effectively
[00:10:58] solving the most complex tasks, stressed Alexander
[00:11:01] Lukashenka. The history of the unit began in
[00:11:04] 1876 with the deployment of a separate
[00:11:07] railway battalion of the Russian Empire in Baranovichi. The first
[00:11:11] combat use took place during the Russo-Turkish War
[00:11:14] of 1877-78.
[00:11:17] Already in modern Belarus, the tasks and purpose
[00:11:20] of the railway troops were defined by the Council
[00:11:23] of Ministers' resolution of 199.
[00:11:55] We are keeping pace with the times, today we have two main
[00:11:59] directions: the purchase of new weapons
[00:12:02] and military special equipment, as well as the modernization
[00:12:05] of existing models. Last year, we adopted
[00:12:09] several models. As part of the modernization
[00:12:12] of weapons and military special equipment,
[00:12:16] aggregates that have
[00:12:18] exceeded their service life are being replaced
[00:12:22] with new domestic ones.
[00:12:26] Despite the development of other types of transport, the railway remains
[00:12:30] one of the key elements of military logistics. High
[00:12:33] throughput, developed infrastructure, and independence from
[00:12:37] weather conditions allow it to be effectively used for
[00:12:40] transporting personnel, equipment, and goods in the interests
[00:12:43] of the armed forces.
[00:12:46] The investigation of the criminal case on the genocide of the Belarusian people
[00:12:49] continues. The Grodno prosecutor's office has established more than
[00:12:52] 3,000 facts of murders of civilians by the Polish
[00:12:55] bandit formations of the Home Army in the war and post-war period.
[00:12:59] Thanks to the activity of Belarusians, new facts of crimes are regularly established,
[00:13:02] which leave no one indifferent.
[00:13:06] About one of these cases in our report. Before
[00:13:10] the Home Army, the task was to return Poland to the borders of 1939,
[00:13:13] so they unfolded their activities in the territories
[00:13:17] of Western Ukraine and Belarus. Here
[00:13:19] they recruited, created agent networks, terrorizing those who
[00:13:23] supported Soviet power, as well as.
[00:13:34] Father Ioann and his wife Olga were first tortured for a long time,
[00:13:38] the woman was raped in front of her husband, her breasts were cut off, for
[00:13:42] curses against the criminals she was shot, Father Ioann
[00:13:45] was beaten, three fingers with which people usually cross themselves were cut off, then
[00:13:49] he was taken to a field and shot. The children were not
[00:13:53] home then. About what happened.
[00:14:25] not far from Rakovich, we learned about this from his
[00:14:29] son, he came to us from Shchuchyn, now
[00:14:32] lives in Shchuchyn, and said that that night the bandits
[00:14:35] broke into their house,
[00:14:38] and the father tried to escape through the window, but he
[00:14:41] failed, he was killed and his mother was brutally
[00:14:45] and inhumanly beaten, she was expecting a child, they did not
[00:14:49] finish her off, decided that she would not survive, but
[00:14:52] it turned out that by God's grace she...
[00:15:44] He, unfortunately, met the same fate. While
[00:15:48] still a child, Vera Vitalyevna came to the local market with her mother,
[00:15:51] and there they encountered the same inhumans
[00:15:55] who killed their relatives. This was 20 years after
[00:15:59] the end of the Great Patriotic
[00:16:01] War. They fell to their knees in front of
[00:16:04] their mother, and begged for forgiveness.
[00:16:38] fanatical. Currently, the Grodno Prosecutor's Office
[00:16:41] has established more than 3,000 facts of murders of civilians by the Home Army,
[00:16:45] or as they are called by the people,
[00:16:47] "White Poles". It is probably important to recall that after the Great
[00:16:51] Patriotic War, in the Polish People's Republic, members of the Home Army
[00:16:54] received the nickname "cursed soldiers" for collaborating
[00:16:58] with the occupiers. In current Poland, the bandit executioners from
[00:17:01] the Home Army are honored as
[00:17:04] heroes. Ksenia Lebedeva and Oleg Dolgopolov. in the first
[00:17:07] information knowledge into practice: graduates
[00:17:11] of medical universities and colleges have started working by distribution in
[00:17:15] the team of Vitebsk Regional Clinical Hospital this year there is a large
[00:17:18] replenishment. More than forty young specialists arrived here for their first
[00:17:22] jobs. Applications were formed, including for the future.
[00:17:26] Aspiring doctors, paramedics and nurses, among the future
[00:17:29] employees of the new operating room and intensive care unit, which is equipped with
[00:17:33] the latest technology, so the opportunities
[00:17:37] here for their development, for specialists, are exceptionally
[00:17:40] high. In total, more than 500
[00:17:44] graduates of medical universities and colleges arrived at healthcare institutions
[00:17:47] in the northern region. The support mechanism for young specialists includes
[00:17:51] the help of experienced mentors, housing provision, and material
[00:17:54] bonuses. Work experience - first job,
[00:17:58] replenishment of work collectives by 60,000 young
[00:18:01] specialists. How to retain needed personnel in the countryside and what the
[00:18:05] employer offers, about this in the project under the President's control, watch today
[00:18:09] after Panorama on Belarus-1, and also on our website newsby and
[00:18:13] multimedia portal videobel.
[00:18:16] Work experience has started, for the next five
[00:18:19] years I definitely still see myself here, working
[00:18:22] here is great, but I don't know, everyone says that in the district, in
[00:18:26] the village, it's hard, uninteresting, but for me it
[00:18:29] was interesting. 60 thousand young specialists
[00:18:33] came to their first jobs. 2.0.
[00:18:38] I think this is a very good salary, in the future you can
[00:18:41] open categories, get new specialties, undergo training,
[00:18:45] how to retain the necessary personnel, help them
[00:18:48] stay, if we sent a
[00:18:51] target specialist, agreed with him, concluded an agreement, including
[00:18:54] with parents, he must return and
[00:18:58] work on this land, there should be no other options,
[00:19:01] preferences for those who gain professional
[00:19:05] experience,
[00:19:37] On Thursday in the evening broadcast on Belarus
[00:19:40] 1.
[00:19:44] Effective separate waste collection. A pilot project with
[00:19:47] anti-vandal modules for glass, which is now being implemented in
[00:19:50] the capital, showed good results. A total of 10 such
[00:19:53] containers allowed to collect more than 6 tons of secondary
[00:19:57] raw materials in six months. Now the program will be expanded. The enterprise plans
[00:20:00] to purchase another 500 such modules for the yards of
[00:20:02] the capital. Mobile containers
[00:20:05] for glass collection, which
[00:20:08] allow, restrict access of certain
[00:20:12] persons to its extraction allow separate collection of these
[00:20:15] wastes in pure form, what does this give first of all? Of course, first
[00:20:19] of all, it provides savings in sorting, there is no need
[00:20:22] to sort it, the direct disposal
[00:20:26] of waste to landfills
[00:20:29] is reduced, also glass is collected in pure form, which allows it to
[00:20:33] be handed over to recycling organizations and directly
[00:20:37] put into processing.
[00:20:40] The modernization of waste collection sites continues. Such
[00:20:43] modular structures protect waste from birds and bad weather. Since the beginning
[00:20:47] of the year, more than 900 of them have appeared in the courtyards of Minsk.
