[00:01:14] vehicles in queues. Waiting time - 7 days. And two
[00:01:17] exciting matches will continue the seventeenth round of the Belarusian
[00:01:21] football championship. Live broadcasts on Belarus
[00:01:23] 5. Regional development, investment in
[00:01:27] production, improving the level and quality of life. residents,
[00:01:30] these topics were in the center of the president's attention yesterday. Alexander
[00:01:34] Lukashenko paid a working visit to the Minsk region.
[00:01:38] The head of state arrived in Vileyka district. Upon arrival, the president
[00:01:41] is interested in the situation in the region as a whole and in particular in the military-industrial complex
[00:01:45] of the region. First impression from the air: Alexander Lukashenko
[00:01:49] demands order in the fields, abandoned territories must be brought
[00:01:52] into circulation. And such work should be carried out throughout
[00:01:55] the region, and not in a separate region. The president visited one
[00:01:59] of...
[00:02:30] Of course, optics dominate, because well, the situation, but there is demand
[00:02:33] for it, there is serious demand for it, and we, due to
[00:02:37] optics, have generally added very seriously, the main
[00:02:40] volumes of the holding increased by 5.6 times compared to the base
[00:02:43] year 2020, and export supplies by
[00:02:47] 6.6 times, salaries over 5 years
[00:02:50] increased by 2.5 times, that is, we worked very
[00:02:54] seriously, in fact, we have the best five-year period in the
[00:02:57] post-Soviet era. Well,
[00:03:00] we are not stopping, the task for this year is at
[00:03:03] least 110% of production volume,
[00:03:06] export supplies 105%.
[00:03:09] Of course, such growth could not have been achieved without
[00:03:13] investment activities, without the introduction of new
[00:03:16] products. At all enterprises included in the holding, over
[00:03:19] the five-year period, a number
[00:03:22] of investment projects were implemented, which were also included in
[00:03:26] the list of the most important and import-substituting ones. Import
[00:03:30] substitution, this is a lubrication system for BelAZ with micron precision,
[00:03:34] these are called dispensers, and microns are the
[00:03:38] fate of optics,
[00:03:40] but we see prospects not only in BelAZ,
[00:03:43] here you were, Bobruisk Agromash showed
[00:03:47] a special harvester, there is also a lubrication system there, there are identical
[00:03:50] elements, when we master
[00:03:53] BelAZ, we are aimed at Gomselmash,
[00:03:56] Bobruisk Agromash and Amkodor, where it is used.
[00:04:30] Modern trade facilities were provided in rural areas. Leading
[00:04:33] retail chains presented their pavilions. Alexander
[00:04:37] Lukashenko demands a clear system of work. But the main thing
[00:04:40] is that villagers should be served with dignity. All the most important
[00:04:43] issues in this area were discussed at the meeting. And after
[00:04:47] that, the president warmly communicated with the residents of Vileika, they talked about
[00:04:50] life in the countryside, discipline and order, the situation in the district.
[00:04:54] Residents thanked the president for a peaceful life on their
[00:04:57] land. There are many guests in Vileika, while... important
[00:05:12] agreements have been signed, in particular, clear regulation
[00:05:31] of e-commerce is being launched, a final decision is being made on the recognition
[00:05:34] of documents on academic titles within the framework of labor migration,
[00:05:38] an agreement on mutual admission of brokers and dealers to participate in exchange
[00:05:43] trading creates real prerequisites for the formation of a common financial
[00:05:47] market. The world is steadily moving towards
[00:05:50] multipolarity, a multiplicity of points of economic
[00:05:53] attraction. All these processes are accompanied by upheavals
[00:05:57] that have a significant impact on the economic climate in
[00:06:01] our region. It is extremely difficult to cope
[00:06:04] with these challenges alone, and sometimes impossible. Therefore,
[00:06:08] more than ever before, solidarity,
[00:06:10] cohesion, readiness for... cooperation and the search
[00:06:14] for consensus are relevant. Now is not the time for disunity, for retreating
[00:06:17] into a shell of exclusively national interests. I am confident that
[00:06:21] together we are capable of overcoming the most difficult obstacles, and
[00:06:25] the decision made at today's meeting
[00:06:28] will bring us one step closer to this
[00:06:30] goal. The next Eurasian Intergovernmental Council
[00:06:34] will be held this autumn in Minsk. The meeting will take place
[00:06:38] in parallel with the international exhibition Inoprom, which is planned.
[00:06:45] September to October 2. Belarusian agrarians have harvested more than 6 million tons of grain
[00:06:49] of the new harvest. According to operational data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, as of
[00:06:53] today, 6,130,000 tons of grain have been harvested
[00:06:56] from the republic's fields. 69% of the areas
[00:07:00] of grain and leguminous crops , including rapeseed, have been harvested. The total
[00:07:04] harvest by region looks as follows. The Minsk region
[00:07:07] has passed the one and a half million mark. The Brest region
[00:07:11] has come close to it. tons of bread
[00:07:15] in Grodno, agrarians of the Gomel region
[00:07:18] have harvested 833,000 tons,
[00:07:21] 667 from Mogilev, Vitebsk
[00:07:24] region is approaching the half-million mark, all regions
[00:07:28] maintain rates that are ahead
[00:07:30] of last year's.
[00:07:32] The work of professionals is visible even in complete darkness, especially since night
[00:07:36] is not a reason to stop the harvesting process, it is necessary to thresh
[00:07:40] to the last ear, while the weather allows...
[00:08:12] allows us to additionally harvest
[00:08:15] about 4 hectares per combine, with such
[00:08:18] a yield as now here for spring wheat, this is another about
[00:08:22] 30-35 tons per unit, plus three
[00:08:26] combines were added during this harvest, this allows us
[00:08:29] to reduce the load on the grain harvesting combine and speed up
[00:08:32] the harvesting of grain crops. At this stage, the district has already harvested
[00:08:36] about 40% of grain crops, and
[00:08:40] 96% of rapeseed has been harvested. In another 2 days,
[00:08:43] we will probably finish the rapeseed and
[00:08:47] all combines will be working on grain.
[00:08:51] In total, for this harvest, the agrarians of the central region have a plan of 3
[00:08:54] million tons of grain, including rapeseed and corn. Using
[00:08:58] every opportunity and good weather will help achieve the set
[00:09:02] goal.
[00:09:04] A strong thunderstorm front that passed through the Voronovo district caused
[00:09:08] serious damage to agriculture. Thousands of hectares
[00:09:11] of crops were damaged. Production facilities suffered,
[00:09:14] however, despite the consequences of the disaster, agrarians do not stop the harvesting
[00:09:18] campaign and continue to work in an enhanced mode. About how
[00:09:22] farms are saving the harvest in Tatyana
[00:09:25] Grishuk's material. On the ground, look at what is happening on
[00:09:28] the ground, 70% of the grain is on the ground. The ears
[00:09:32] are threshed, the grain, well, in the ear, the grains
[00:09:36] are threshed out. An area of 150 hectares,
[00:09:39] but I don't know, we'll get 6-7 centners. This is how
[00:09:43] some fields of the Girka agricultural enterprise look today. After
[00:09:46] the destructive thunderstorm front, part of the harvest is practically lost.
[00:09:50] Hail knocked the grain out of the ears, strong wind flattened the crops. Despite this,
[00:09:53] harvesting continues, the fields must be cleared for winter sowing. As of
[00:09:57] today, taking into account the death of crops, 80%
[00:10:00] of the fields have been harvested, however, such
[00:10:04] partially damaged or damaged areas we are forced to harvest because
[00:10:08] we need to clear the fields, remove the straw, we have a lot
[00:10:11] of straw that needs to be removed.
[00:10:25] 50 left, so another 20%
[00:10:28] of harvesting is taking into account the losses. According to preliminary estimates,
[00:10:32] the natural disaster caused damage to crop production alone of more than
[00:10:35] 6.5 million rubles. Not only grain crops were damaged,
[00:10:39] but also corn, lupine, sugar beet, rapeseed and potatoes. The situation in
[00:10:43] each field is being studied in detail by the farm, somewhere with the use
[00:10:46] of special equipment or, conversely, manual labor, they will put in order and harvest
[00:10:49] the surviving crop. The natural disaster changed the usual course of the harvesting
[00:10:53] campaign, here they simultaneously assess the damage caused to the crops
[00:10:56] and continue the harvest. Despite the damaged fields, agrarians do not
[00:11:00] reduce the pace. Now every harvested ear is important.
[00:11:03] At the same time, the farm eliminates the consequences of the disaster at production
[00:11:07] facilities, dairy farms, grain storage facilities and mechanics' yards
[00:11:10] also suffered from the hurricane. In the first place, premises where
[00:11:14] the already harvested crop is stored are being restored, the remaining agricultural
[00:11:17] facilities are being repaired in stages. A lot of damage.
[00:11:21] As of today, we have received 1570 sheets
[00:11:25] of slate from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, this slate is gradually
[00:11:28] being laid in places where it was torn off, we made
[00:11:31] grain storage facilities first of all, because the harvest must be stored,
[00:11:34] we partially made a workshop, behind
[00:11:37] us is a grain storage facility that was completely destroyed, it will be
[00:11:40] restored within a year, well, by next
[00:11:43] summer, in neighboring Boltyashki, the main task today is also not to reduce the pace
[00:11:47] of harvesting, after rainy days, agrarians and equipment work at
[00:11:51] their maximum, as does the grain drying facility, harvesting triticale.
[00:12:57] The Voronovo district will continue to eliminate the consequences of the natural disaster, in addition
[00:13:00] to agricultural lands, forest areas were also seriously affected, continuous sanitary
[00:13:04] felling will have to be carried out on more than 105 hectares. Tatyana Grishuk,
[00:13:08] Viktor Baka, First
[00:13:09] Information.
[00:13:15] Diplomatic conflict between Rome and Madrid. The Italian authorities
[00:13:19] officially rejected Spain's ultimatum and extended the suspension
[00:13:22] of the Schengen rules for all passengers arriving
[00:13:26] from Spain until at least August 15. The reason for the tough measures
[00:13:30] is the critical influx of illegal immigrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, where
[00:13:34] more than 70 thousand migrants illegally entered. Since
[00:13:37] Madrid failed to protect the external borders of the EU, Italy
[00:13:41] reinstated full passport control. Spain is now threatening
[00:13:44] with retaliatory restrictions. The situation has reached a dead end. In Europe,
[00:13:48] there are already open calls to completely suspend Spain's membership
[00:13:51] in the Schengen agreement.
[00:13:55] Transport collapse on the Ukrainian-Polish border. Almost
[00:13:58] 7,000 cargo vehicles are already stuck in huge
[00:14:02] queues. Waiting time is 7 days. Land routes
[00:14:05] are overloaded after maritime export of agricultural products practically
[00:14:09] stopped in the Black Sea. Financial losses exceeded 1
[00:14:13] billion dollars. The reason is damage to port
[00:14:16] infrastructure in the Odessa region. The largest
[00:14:19] international container shipping operator has completely ceased operations
[00:14:22] in the region. Experts warn that idle transport leads to
[00:14:26] a rapid drop in purchase prices, and local storage facilities may
[00:14:30] be overflowing by September.
[00:14:34] Germany is strengthening security measures. Flights of six
[00:14:37] unidentified drones were recorded over the Bundeswehr
[00:14:40] military base. The incident caused serious alarm among the agencies. At
[00:14:44] this strictly guarded facility is located
[00:14:47] the only workshop in Europe for servicing
[00:14:50] Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems. This is already the second serious
[00:14:53] aviation incident in the country in a week. Earlier, at Leipzig
[00:14:57] airport, right next to a Ukrainian An-124 cargo
[00:15:00] aircraft, a drone with explosives was discovered
[00:15:04] and neutralized. The Federal Prosecutor's Office and German military
[00:15:07] counterintelligence are combining these initiatives,
[00:15:10] stating that the risks for critical infrastructure are reaching
[00:15:13] a fundamentally new level.
[00:15:17] Today on the first informational evening interactive podcast Volkov and
[00:15:21] Sych. 40 days on infrastructure. Kushner and Vytkov
[00:15:24] will rush in. Kiev to mourn and sum up the results. Peace remained
[00:15:28] undeveloped. Poland is plunging into a political crisis on the eve
[00:15:31] of parliamentary elections. No apologies will be made. Why
[00:15:35] 81 years ago the USA.
[00:16:07] Global politics is a forest where everyone has their own
[00:16:11] paths, which we will carefully study
[00:16:14] together.
[00:16:20] Without a statute of limitations, on the outskirts of Mogilev, in the Kazimirovsky forest,
[00:16:24] a reburial ceremony was held for the remains of civilians
[00:16:27] who died at the hands of German punitive units during the Great
[00:16:30] Patriotic War. This is the result of the investigation of a criminal case on
[00:16:34] genocide against the Belarusian people. In the new.
[00:17:37] According to preliminary data, during the Great Patriotic War, about 700 civilians
[00:17:41] were killed by fascists here.
