[00:00:30] you need to not sleep, you need to move, you can earn something on
[00:00:33] any stream, and enterprising people earn money, well,
[00:00:37] some people don't want to, so they live like that, so you need to
[00:00:41] move, food will only get
[00:00:45] more expensive, we earned 10
[00:00:47] billion dollars on food last year,
[00:00:51] more than 10 billion, people don't get that
[00:00:54] much from oil and it will get more expensive, especially since Europe
[00:00:58] has dried up, I with your...
[00:01:30] now everyone dreams of peace, but it's still unknown how it
[00:01:33] will be, so for peace to be, I'll give you a simple
[00:01:37] formula, you need to work yourselves, we'll
[00:01:40] gather the bread, clean everything as it should be, plow all
[00:01:44] the fields, in industry, we will work and
[00:01:47] sell products, there will be peace, as soon as we stop
[00:01:50] working, those who don't work will start stealing from those who
[00:01:54] work, a fight will begin, we will come to
[00:01:57] war, it all started in Ukraine.
[00:03:30] I would like your idols,
[00:03:33] yes, when we moved to Belarus 10 years ago, and he tells me: "Larisa, you
[00:03:36] must take a photo with Alexander
[00:03:39] Grigoryevich."
[00:03:42] Look how many of these, "can I have my photo?" Of course,
[00:03:45] you can, what about
[00:03:46] Russia?
[00:03:53] We drove, how life is in Belarus, everyone will want to tell, it would seem,
[00:03:56] simple traditional family values in the world are becoming.
[00:05:51] Thank you, thank you, guys, thank
[00:05:54] you, on this warm note the president
[00:05:57] will say goodbye to those gathered, it's still the second half of Friday, still a working
[00:06:01] day, many have working weekends ahead, the height of the harvest, here
[00:06:04] the region plays a key role, people in the regions, their
[00:06:08] standard of living and the desire to live well where
[00:06:11] they were born. And where they are thought of, at the highest
[00:06:15] level. Katerina Krutalevich, Olga Anishchenko, Mikhail Burnos, Pavel
[00:06:19] Paznyakov, Sergey Matveychuk and Alexander Oleshko. First
[00:06:22] informational.
[00:06:24] Creation of recognizable brands and aggressive advertising. Products
[00:06:28] of the domestic alcohol industry should win over their buyer.
[00:06:32] For this, everything necessary is available. This opinion was voiced in the "Club of Editors"
[00:06:35] program. Experts note that the path taken in the line
[00:06:38] of food products should serve as an example.
[00:06:42] Now to prove that our food products are good,
[00:06:46] high-quality and more popular than any overseas ones,
[00:06:50] which may exist, no one prohibits them from being on the shelves in our
[00:06:53] stores, there are gourmets, but most buy Belarusian
[00:06:57] products, the same thing needs to be done, probably, and these
[00:07:01] should be strategic decisions to build an effective
[00:07:04] marketing model, for production, promotion,
[00:07:08] effective sales, that's the only way it works,
[00:07:42] we have gone far ahead in technology, we
[00:07:45] found our niche, we found our customer, including those
[00:07:49] who are tired of cheap, outwardly flashy, but essentially
[00:07:53] low-quality one-day goods, and
[00:07:57] also, what are the features of Belarusian trade,
[00:08:00] if the rules in the global market, what do
[00:08:03] domestic science expect and what fraud schemes are used in
[00:08:07] NATO. Watch the "Club of Editors" tonight on Belarus-1.
[00:08:10] The
[00:08:20] weather continues to maintain its status as the main
[00:08:23] newsmaker, testing Belarusians for strength, if yesterday the
[00:08:26] news was extreme heat, today in the
[00:08:30] epicenter of attention is the night thunderstorm front, it swept
[00:08:34] almost the entire country with gusts of wind up to 29 m/s. In
[00:08:38] 438 settlements of the country, power supply was disrupted.
[00:08:41] Most affected were Minsk, Vitebsk, Grodno and Gomel
[00:08:45] regions, roofs were torn off, roads were blocked by fallen
[00:08:48] trees, this is the outcome of the elements. Until now, in
[00:08:51] the affected regions, they continue to eliminate the consequences
[00:08:55] of bad weather. Report by Polina Beresneva.
[00:08:58] The night hurricane literally ground this forest to pieces in
[00:09:02] a matter of minutes. The wind here was so strong that trees
[00:09:05] snapped like matchsticks. I note that the strongest blow in
[00:09:09] the Minsk region was taken by Oveleisky district, here trees
[00:09:12] fell in whole hectares, while blocking passage
[00:09:16] to settlements leaving people in these
[00:09:19] settlements without electricity.
[00:09:22] The element covered the region around 2 AM, squally wind was accompanied by a wall
[00:09:26] of rain and large hail. In sixteen settlements of Vileika and
[00:09:30] Molodechno districts, the private sector suffered, roofs
[00:09:33] of twelve residential buildings were damaged, harsh thunder, harsh lightning, well,
[00:09:37] upon arriving home, having just gotten out of the car, I walked
[00:09:40] about 10 meters, turned
[00:09:42] my head, and saw a harsh wave of falling trees, and
[00:09:46] literally the largest pine tree that was opposite the house, fell
[00:09:49] directly onto my parents' car, after
[00:09:53] that, another harsh wave followed, we have never
[00:09:56] seen such a hurricane in our lives, not only did it not uproot
[00:09:59] trees, it broke them right from the top, the
[00:10:03] strongest part did not hit my house much, it
[00:10:06] damaged the fence, the gazebo, hit
[00:10:10] part of the edge of the house, many thanks to the
[00:10:13] Ministry of Emergency Situations, the guys came, helped. Maximum forces
[00:10:16] have been thrown into eliminating the consequences, the task is common, to connect settlements
[00:10:20] and facilities to power supply, eliminate the consequences. for damaged
[00:10:23] roofs, and also to restore order in forest areas. The situation
[00:10:27] in the district remains quite
[00:10:30] tense, however, the main
[00:10:34] roads, passages, highways have been cleared, there is
[00:10:37] accessibility for citizens and arrival at all settlements.
[00:10:41] Significant areas of forest fund were damaged, but
[00:10:44] the largest volumes of damage occurred in the
[00:10:47] Vileika district, aid to Vileika forestry
[00:10:51] has already been promptly sent since morning. And also since morning, other
[00:10:55] of our forestry institutions of the Minsk State
[00:10:58] Production Forestry Association have started work, this
[00:11:01] work is under special control, there were no injuries,
[00:11:04] a fallen branch injured a six-year-old child at the Rybchina campsite recreation
[00:11:08] base, near the village of Kabuzi, an ambulance team promptly took the
[00:11:12] schoolchildren to the hospital, it was just bruises and after examination by doctors, the patient
[00:11:16] was discharged home. And he was hospitalized in the traumatology
[00:11:19] department with soft tissue contusions. At 9:00
[00:11:23] AM, in satisfactory condition with recommendations
[00:11:26] to continue outpatient treatment, the boy and his parents went to their place
[00:11:30] of residence in the city of Zhodino. In the northern region,
[00:11:34] the main blow of the elements was taken by Dokshitsy and Postavy districts. It was here
[00:11:37] that the most massive power line breaks occurred. In
[00:11:41] Glubokoye district, the squall tore slate from the roofs of twelve residential buildings,
[00:11:45] nine outbuildings and six agricultural facilities. The main thing is that
[00:11:48] no one was injured. Problems in 60 settlements, but this does not
[00:11:52] mean that. they are not completely disconnected, they are partially
[00:11:56] disconnected somewhere, work is underway somewhere, but the consumer is
[00:11:59] mostly with electricity, also the Vitebsk
[00:12:02] energy system provided assistance to the Minsk energy system, in the Gomel region, energy workers
[00:12:05] have already fully restored light to the homes of residents of the Svetlogorsk district, and in the neighboring
[00:12:09] Zhlobin district, the elimination of the consequences of the squall is in full
[00:12:13] swing. 29 emergency brigades were involved, almost four
[00:12:16] dozen units of special equipment. In addition to repair crews in
[00:12:20] the Grodno region, more than 170 units
[00:12:24] of special equipment, diesel generator sets are involved.
[00:12:26] In total, 78 settlements in Belarus remain without electricity,
[00:12:30] 69 of them in the Minsk region, five in Grodno, and also two
[00:12:34] settlements still remain without electricity in the Gomel and Vitebsk
[00:12:38] regions. The rampage of the elements lasted only a few hours, but it will take
[00:12:41] several weeks to eliminate its consequences. Equipment and people will
[00:12:45] work continuously until the light returns to every home, and the roads
[00:12:49] become safe. Polina Beresneva, Marina Romanovskaya. and
[00:12:53] Ivan Mozgo, first informational.
[00:12:56] A strong thunderstorm front that swept through the Voronovsky district caused serious
[00:13:00] damage to agriculture, thousands of hectares of crops were damaged,
[00:13:04] production facilities suffered. However, despite
[00:13:07] the consequences of the elements, agrarians do not stop the harvesting campaign,
[00:13:10] continuing to work in an intensified mode. About how the farm
[00:13:14] saves the harvest in the material of Tatyana Grishok. On
[00:13:17] the ground, look what's happening on the ground,
[00:13:21] 70 percent of the grain is on the ground, in ears.
[00:13:25] Shattered grain, well in the ear,
[00:13:29] shattered grain, an area of 150 hectares,
[00:13:32] but I don't know, 6-7 centners would be better. That's how individual fields
[00:13:36] of the Girki agricultural enterprise look today. After the destructive
[00:13:39] thunderstorm front, part of the harvest is practically lost. Hail knocked
[00:13:43] the grain out of the ears, strong wind laid down the crops. Despite this,
[00:13:46] the harvest continues. Fields must be cleared for winter sowing. As
[00:13:50] of today, taking into account the losses,
[00:13:53] 80% has been harvested.
[00:14:25] The elements caused damage of more than 6.5 million rubles to crop production
[00:14:28] alone. Not only grain crops, but also corn, lupine, sugar beet,
[00:14:32] rapeseed and potatoes were damaged. The situation on each field is being studied in detail
[00:14:35] in an хозяйски manner, somewhere with the use of special equipment or, conversely, manual
[00:14:39] labor, they will put things in order and harvest the surviving crop. The elements
[00:14:42] changed the usual course of the harvesting campaign, here they simultaneously assess
[00:14:46] the damage caused to the crops and continue the harvest. Despite
[00:14:49] the damaged fields, agrarians do not reduce the pace. Now it is important.
[00:14:53] first of all, because we need to put the harvest, partially made a workshop, behind us is a grain warehouse that is completely destroyed, it will be
[00:15:31] restored within a year, well, by next
[00:15:35] summer. humidity, so the dryers quickly
[00:16:08] dry, process, clean everything is already in storage.
[00:16:11] All forces and resources are mobilized, despite
[00:16:14] the consequences of the elements, agrarians expect to save most
[00:16:18] of the harvest, technologies and experience allow this to be done,
[00:16:20] about 75% of grain has already been harvested,
[00:16:23] grain growers are not slowing down, the crew of Viktor Mindyul and Leonid
[00:16:27] Ivashko were the first in Voronovsky district to thresh 2.0 tons
[00:16:31] of grain, they waited in the field, dried it,
[00:16:34] well, and... The
[00:17:08] Eurasian Intergovernmental Council has concluded in Kyrgyzstan,
[00:17:12] a number of agreements have been signed, and the heads of government of the five
[00:17:15] discussed further deepening cooperation, and before the start
[00:17:19] of the expanded meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council, the heads of delegations
[00:17:22] met with the President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov.
[00:17:25] The Prime Minister of Belarus thanked the head of Kyrgyzstan for the high organization
[00:17:29] of the event and conveyed the best and warmest
[00:17:32] wishes from the President of Belarus Alexander
[00:17:34] Lukashenka. from
[00:17:38] Chelponaty.
[00:17:40] 14% of the world's land and a population of almost
[00:17:43] 186 million people. The EAEU confidently declares itself
[00:17:47] as a large and independent center of power in a multipolar
[00:17:50] world. Yes, each participating country has its own interests
[00:17:53] and principles. But everyone understands that what is needed here is not competition based
[00:17:57] on who is in charge, but cooperation based on who
[00:18:00] added more value to the common product. Only then will the EAEU
[00:18:04] become a global player that is reckoned with.
[00:18:08] The Intergovernmental Council is not a club for exchanging pleasantries, it is
[00:18:11] a working platform where problems are solved. Here is a clear example from
[00:18:14] the Belarusian Prime Minister. Since July 2024, a mechanism
[00:18:18] for financing joint cooperation projects in industry
[00:18:20] has been in operation. Two years of practice have shown that the instrument
[00:18:24] has not fully worked. This means that
[00:18:27] there are gaps in the mechanism that need to be eliminated.
[00:18:31] The starting conditions for financing industrial cooperation projects significantly
[00:18:35] affect the degree of possibilities.
[00:19:16] but its engine is science, without it even the richest union will
[00:19:19] fall apart, so it is important to invest in developments and share
[00:19:23] advanced technologies with each other, we want Eurasian
[00:19:26] cooperation projects to be innovative,
[00:19:28] high-tech, based on digital
[00:19:31] solutions, therefore, we need to give a green light to
[00:19:35] cooperation in the scientific and technical sphere. Undoubtedly,
[00:19:39] we need collective tools that stimulate
[00:19:41] research and development and provide access to
[00:19:44] advanced technologies. The Eurasian project is initially
[00:19:47] aimed at trade and economic partnership and cooperation with the outside
[00:19:51] world. Over the past few years, free trade agreements have been signed
[00:19:55] with Indonesia, UAE, Iran, Mongolia. The more
[00:19:58] reliable partners, the stronger the common market.
[00:20:01] Reduction of customs duties, regulation in
[00:20:05] various aspects. Interaction on foreign trade with
[00:20:09] our partner countries, each
[00:20:12] agreement was thoroughly studied at the expert level, and
[00:20:15] accordingly there is a large number of commodity
[00:20:19] positions where a reduction occurs for our
[00:20:23] Belarusian suppliers of opportunities to increase
[00:20:26] competitiveness for supplies to these countries on
[00:20:29] the one hand, on the other hand a reduction in tariff
[00:20:33] protection for, for example, raw materials, for some components, this is an additional
[00:20:36] opportunity.
[00:20:50] of the Eurasian Commission were the subject of discussion in parallel with
[00:20:53] the work being carried out in each country. Following the
[00:20:57] Intergovernmental Council, three key documents on electronic commerce were signed, which
[00:21:00] are designed to simplify cross-border online trade within
[00:21:03] the union, an agreement on the admission of brokers and dealers will allow
[00:21:07] financial intermediaries to work on the exchange platforms of all EAEU
[00:21:10] countries, an agreement on mutual recognition of academic
[00:21:14] titles recognizes academic degrees, that is, if you are a candidate of sciences in one country
[00:21:17] of the union, then you are a candidate of sciences in the others. This opens the way for
[00:21:21] joint laboratories and exchange of experience. The EAEU Intergovernmental Council
[00:21:24] is held at the residence of the President of Kyrgyzstan, and there is also
[00:21:28] a sanatorium there, which is open to all comers. In the same territory, there are
[00:21:31] business people in suits and ordinary vacationers, that is, big politics
[00:21:35] takes off its tie and gets closer to people, because why all these global
[00:21:39] decisions, so that our life becomes simpler. Ilona Volynets,
[00:21:42] Evgeny Nitov, first informational Kyrgyzstan.
[00:21:46] Belarus and China will hold joint exercises, this was reported by the ministry. operations
[00:22:25] in
[00:22:29] urban conditions.
[00:22:32] Iran demands the lifting of American sanctions. In the event
[00:22:35] of new US strikes on the Islamic Republic, Iranian military
[00:22:39] will attack energy facilities and desalination plants in the region
[00:22:43] - declares official Tehran. At the same time, the Iranian
[00:22:46] authorities are ready to ensure free passage of commercial vessels through
[00:22:50] the strait blocked since the beginning of the war, in return Tehran
[00:22:53] demands the lifting of American economic
[00:22:56] sanctions. The US and Israel expected that
[00:23:00] the country would collapse under the pressure they exerted. This
[00:23:03] pressure has continued for years, regardless of this
[00:23:06] government or the previous one. Day by day,
[00:23:09] they steadily pushed our economy to the brink
[00:23:13] and created problems. Now under the current government, this
[00:23:16] pressure has reached its maximum, those exerting pressure on... are probably
[00:23:20] surprised why we still have not
[00:23:22] collapsed. The day before, Iran and Oman
[00:23:26] agreed on a new shipping scheme through the Strait of Hormuz. All traffic
[00:23:30] is planned to be shifted to the central corridor. Entry will be controlled by
[00:23:33] Iran, and exit by Oman. Passage of ships will become
[00:23:37] paid. Fees will include payment for navigation, insurance,
[00:23:40] and environmental services. Earlier, Donald Trump stated that
[00:23:44] he canceled attacks on Iran in light of an impending settlement deal, the contours
[00:23:47] of which include the opening of the Strait of Hormuz
[00:23:50] and agreements on the nuclear program. Meanwhile,
[00:23:54] in the Middle East, the contours of a new military bloc are emerging.
[00:23:58] Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed
[00:24:01] a historic agreement on the creation of the so-called
[00:24:04] Muslim NATO. Henceforth, any attack on one of
[00:24:08] these countries will be considered aggression against all three
[00:24:12] states. The new alliance unites the second largest
[00:24:15] NATO army, the colossal financial resources
[00:24:18] of Riyadh and... the nuclear arsenal of Islamabad.
[00:24:22] Experts note that this step was a response to the growing chaos in the region
[00:24:26] and the tough stance of Israel. In fact, key
[00:24:28] Islamic states are creating their own security umbrella,
[00:24:32] openly demonstrating that they no longer believe in the reliability
[00:24:36] of American
[00:24:37] guarantees.
[00:24:44] To preserve peace, everyone in Belarus has to work hard
[00:24:47] in their place. Our agrarians have closely approached
[00:24:51] the six-million mark. As
[00:24:54] of today, the country has harvested grain, including rapeseed,
[00:24:58] 5,989
[00:25:01] tons, which is 2 million more than on the same day
[00:25:05] last year. 2/3 of the areas have been harvested.
[00:25:08] The Minsk region has surpassed the one and a half million mark.
[00:25:12] Brest region is close behind it. Grodno region has
[00:25:15] 1,125,000 tons of grain. Agrarians
[00:25:17] of the Gomel region have threshed
[00:25:21] 813,000 tons, Mogilev region has 638,000,
[00:25:25] Vitebsk region has almost half a million.
[00:25:28] By the way, the work
[00:25:31] of professionals is visible even in complete darkness, especially
[00:25:35] since night in the office is not a reason to stop the harvesting
[00:25:38] process. Agrarians of the central region continue to work in the fields
[00:25:41] after sunset. Bloggers of the Minsk region joined
[00:25:45] one of the night shifts. Our correspondent Ilya Tsvitkov. Ilya,
[00:25:48] the floor is yours,
[00:25:52] harvest everything down to the last ear, while it's dry,
[00:25:56] regardless of whether it's day
[00:25:59] or night, you need to work at maximum.
[00:26:02] That's why we are now in the fields of the farm
[00:26:06] in Volozhin district, and right behind me powerful combines
[00:26:09] are working, agrarians went out for the night
[00:26:13] shift, there is light, it's fine, I like everything, everything is visible, everything
[00:26:17] suits me, we need bread on the table, without
[00:26:21] bread, no food, we need to harvest,
[00:26:24] the weather allows, we harvest, we will try, bloggers
[00:26:28] of the Minsk region are also here, right in the
[00:26:31] field, to capture the most vivid
[00:26:34] shots, for them it's special content, but
[00:26:37] for agrarians it's ordinary working days. I myself
[00:26:41] come from a village, I lived in a village until I was 16, my father was
[00:26:45] a field brigadier, we started on combines, I helped
[00:26:48] work on a Niva combine, then Don combines appeared
[00:26:51] in collective farms. Now, of course, the Gomselmash
[00:26:55] combine is simply heaven and earth, guys, because
[00:26:59] many people, for example, you drive during the day, the field is all yellow.
[00:27:02] and in the morning you drive, look, it's all harvested, the balers have already removed the bales,
[00:27:06] the grain has been taken away, and people drive and don't understand how such a
[00:27:09] miracle happened, because while everyone is sleeping at night, combine operators in Belarus
[00:27:12] are working, yes, of course I rode in the cabin with the combine operator,
[00:27:16] the emotions are overwhelming, I really
[00:27:19] liked it, very interesting, I would go to work as
[00:27:22] a combine operator myself,
[00:27:23] we have 2,500 hectares
[00:27:30] to harvest in this farm, so we catch every minute
[00:27:34] today taking into account the weather, today the weather says
[00:27:38] that grain can be threshed even up to 11 and
[00:27:41] up to 15 hours, on average we thresh about 400-500
[00:27:45] tons per day depending on the weather, of course, but if in ideal conditions, then
[00:27:49] yes, on average about 400 tons, cold water is also supplied, including
[00:27:53] we give it out in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening, that
[00:27:56] is, to provide a person with water, this is... well, a sacred duty, when
[00:28:00] the weather is favorable, then organized like today, night
[00:28:03] harvesting, it allows us
[00:28:07] to additionally harvest about 4 hectares
[00:28:09] for each combine, and with such a yield
[00:28:13] as it is now here on spring wheat, this is to get about
[00:28:16] 30-35 tons for each unit, plus three combines
[00:28:19] have been added during this harvesting season, this allows us
[00:28:23] to reduce the load on the grain harvesting combine and speed up
[00:28:26] the harvesting of grain crops, I remind you that the weight
[00:28:29] of the total loaf in the central region
[00:28:33] taking into account corn and
[00:28:36] rapeseed is planned to be 3 million tons.
[00:28:39] The grain is now in ideal condition, so it is necessary to harvest
[00:28:43] at any time of day, use the weather
[00:28:46] to the maximum. Agrarians are doing just that, because the food security
[00:28:49] of the entire country depends on it. Ilya Tsvetkov
[00:28:53] and Viktor Borisov joined the grain growers in the fields
[00:28:57] for the night shift, first.
[00:28:59] The status of the territories affected by
[00:29:02] the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has been reviewed. The basis for this was the results
[00:29:06] of long-term monitoring, which recorded a steady improvement
[00:29:09] in the radiation situation. Among those excluded from the Chernobyl
[00:29:13] list is Gomel. Ksenia
[00:29:16] Lebedeva studied the situation using the example of the second most populous
[00:29:19] city in Belarus. We are in the center of Gomel, which
[00:29:21] officially ceases to be
[00:29:24] a Chernobyl territory from January, as do 176 more settlements
[00:29:28] in Belarus. Someone will undoubtedly see this as negative,
[00:29:31] because those who live in rehabilitated territories, excluded from
[00:29:35] the Chernobyl list, may ask the question: what about
[00:29:38] my benefits? Spoiler: those in need will
[00:29:42] keep them, but on the other hand, 600,000 people will officially
[00:29:45] live on clean lands from January 1st,
[00:29:49] and this speaks of serious systematic work by the state in this
[00:29:52] direction and that millions invested in the rehabilitation
[00:29:56] of post-Chernobyl territories were used... in
[00:29:59] the interests of the people. The total financing for Chernobyl programs
[00:30:03] in Belarus since 1990 is estimated at 20
[00:30:07] billion dollars. During this time, more than 69,000
[00:30:10] apartments have been built for the population. About 57% of
[00:30:14] the funds allocated by the state went to
[00:30:16] protecting the population, to providing social assistance, these are benefits, health improvement,
[00:30:20] both for adults and children. And today 177 settlements,
[00:30:24] among which are Gomel, Luninets, Lelchitsy and
[00:30:28] Ivye. in our country, at the legislative level,
[00:30:31] a review of such a list of
[00:30:44] settlements is carried out every 5 years,
[00:30:48] which are subject to some
[00:30:51] additional measures of radiation protection. This work
[00:30:54] is being carried out, here I have.
[00:30:57] проводится, вот у меня есть.
