[00:00:57] Live News, good day, a quick summary now.
[00:01:30] were not in the President's spotlight, Alexander Lukashenka made a working
[00:01:33] trip to the Minsk region, the head of state
[00:01:37] visited the Vileika district. Upon his arrival, the President was interested
[00:01:40] in the situation in the region as a whole, and specifically in the military-industrial complex of the region.
[00:01:44] First impression from the air: Alexander Lukashenka demands
[00:01:47] order in the fields; abandoned territories must be put into
[00:01:50] crop rotation, and such work should be carried out throughout
[00:01:54] the entire region, not just in a single area. The President visited
[00:01:57] one of the leading enterprises of the holding.
[00:03:00] for this year, at least, the production volume is
[00:03:02] 110%, export deliveries -
[00:03:05] 105%. Of course, such growth could
[00:03:09] not have been achieved without investment measures, without
[00:03:12] the introduction of new products. At all enterprises
[00:03:16] part of the holding, over the five-year period, a number
[00:03:18] of investment projects were implemented, which
[00:03:22] included, among others, those on the list of the most important
[00:03:26] import-substituting ones. Import substitution, that's the system.
[00:04:30] locality, leading retail chains presented their pavilions.
[00:04:34] Alexander Lukashenka demands a clear system of work, but
[00:04:37] most importantly, rural residents must be served with dignity. All
[00:04:40] the most important issues in this area were discussed at a meeting, and
[00:04:44] afterwards, the president warmly spoke with the residents of Vileyka, discussing
[00:04:47] life in the village, discipline and order, and the situation in the district.
[00:04:51] Residents thanked the president for a peaceful life on their land. V
[00:04:55] Vileyka has many guests, including Russians. People came to express
[00:04:58] words of gratitude to the Belarusian leader. Alexander Lukashenka
[00:05:02] urged them to visit our country more often. Addressing Belarusians, he
[00:05:05] noted that to preserve peace, everyone must work hard
[00:05:09] at their own workplace. I am not against it.
[00:05:13] Belarus's farmers have harvested over 6 million tons of new
[00:05:16] grain. According to operational data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, as of today,
[00:05:20] 6.130 thousand tons of grain have been harvested from the
[00:05:23] republic's fields, and 69% of the areas
[00:05:26] under grain and leguminous crops, including rapeseed, have been harvested. The total harvest
[00:05:30] by region looks as follows: The Minsk
[00:05:34] region has surpassed the one and a half million mark. The Brest
[00:05:37] region is close behind. 1,189
[00:05:40] tons of bread are accounted for in the Grodno region. Agrarians of the Gomel region
[00:05:44] have harvested 833 tons,
[00:05:47] 667 from Mogilev. The Vitebsk
[00:05:50] region is approaching the half-million mark. All regions
[00:05:53] maintain rates exceeding
[00:05:55] last year's.
[00:05:58] The work of professionals is visible even in complete darkness. Especially since night
[00:06:01] is not a reason to stop the harvesting process. You need to thresh to
[00:06:05] the last ear, while the weather permits. Farmers in the central
[00:06:08] region continue to work in the fields after sunset.
[00:06:42] roughly 30-35 tons per unit, plus three more harvesters
[00:06:46] added during this harvest. This allows us to
[00:06:49] reduce the load on the grain harvester and speed up
[00:06:53] the harvesting of grain crops. At this stage, the district has already
[00:06:56] harvested around 40% of grain
[00:06:59] crops and 96% of rapeseed.
[00:07:03] In about 2 more days, we will probably finish the rapeseed, and then
[00:07:07] all combines will be fully working on
[00:07:09] grain. In total for this, the farmers
[00:07:13] of the central region have a plan for 3 million tons of grain, including rapeseed
[00:07:16] and corn. Utilizing every opportunity of good weather
[00:07:20] will help achieve the set goal. In
[00:07:23] Voronovsky district, work continues to eliminate the consequences of the natural disaster. A strong
[00:07:27] thunderstorm front damaged hundreds of hectares of crops and caused
[00:07:30] serious damage to agricultural enterprises. Despite the
[00:07:33] losses, the harvesting campaign does not stop. Farms
[00:07:37] continue to harvest grain, clear fields for winter
[00:07:40] sowing, and restore production.
[00:08:12] are being pursued not only in agricultural lands, but also in the district.
[00:08:15] Damaged production buildings are being restored, and
[00:08:18] the consequences of the windbreak are being eliminated. Continuous sanitary felling will need
[00:08:22] to be carried out on more than 105 hectares
[00:08:24] of forest. The consequences of the bad weather are being eliminated in
[00:08:28] Vileika district. Specialists continue to restore
[00:08:31] electricity supply in nineteen settlements.
[00:08:34] The dairy farms are fully powered.
[00:08:37] 10 high-power diesel generators are in use, and
[00:08:40] the involvement of three low-power diesel generators
[00:08:44] has also been arranged to power 21 residential buildings and
[00:08:48] two shops. Traffic in the affected area
[00:08:51] has been fully restored. In total, more than 40 Minskenergo
[00:08:55] brigades are eliminating the consequences of the natural disaster in the Minsk
[00:08:59] region. Power engineers are continuing their work now and
[00:09:02] are doing everything to restore light to every
[00:09:05] home.
[00:09:11] Europe is burning winter gas reserves to escape the summer
[00:09:15] heat. Anomalous heat in France and Spain forced Brussels to turn on
[00:09:18] millions of air conditioners to full power. To avoid
[00:09:22] blackouts and power cooling systems, Europeans
[00:09:25] urgently launched gas-fired power plants, because green
[00:09:28] energy simply stopped in the heat due to overheating panels and
[00:09:32] calm. As a result, in July alone, EU countries withdrew
[00:09:36] a record 964 million cubic meters of gas
[00:09:40] from underground storage. For Europe.
[00:09:51] Experts warn that by the heating season, the EU
[00:09:54] risks facing half-empty storage facilities, and utility
[00:09:58] prices for ordinary Europeans will once again soar
[00:10:01] to the sky.
[00:10:03] Mediterranean drug trafficking and human cargo worth millions of euros.
[00:10:07] The Spanish Civil Guard and Europol have dismantled one of the
[00:10:11] largest underground networks illegally transporting migrants
[00:10:14] from Africa to the European Union. Law enforcement detained 78
[00:10:18] people, including four mafia ringleaders. Since
[00:10:21] 2023, criminals have made more than
[00:10:24] sixty trips, transporting over 2
[00:10:27] thousand illegal immigrants from Algeria. Boats were used in both directions,
[00:10:31] drugs were brought into Africa, and people were transported back.
[00:10:35] The cost of a one-way ticket reached 12 thousand
[00:10:38] euros, and the organized crime group's income exceeded 24 million
[00:10:42] euros. During searches, boats, weapons, satellite
[00:10:45] phones, and large sums of money were seized. The investigation
[00:10:48] continues.
[00:10:50] Warsaw is preparing to close its doors to Ukrainian refugees. The leading
[00:10:54] opposition...
[00:11:35] The economic crisis in Europe makes the maintenance of millions
[00:11:38] of Ukrainian refugees unaffordable. Experts also
[00:11:41] note that by sending them to the front, Europe hopes
[00:11:45] to prolong the conflict. Expert opinion. The recession
[00:11:48] that is currently in Europe has begun, it
[00:11:51] is accelerating. This is influenced
[00:11:55] by the fuel crisis, and problems
[00:11:58] with energy, problems with water supply, that is,
[00:12:01] financial problems, also financial problems
[00:12:05] related to assistance to Ukraine and so on and so forth. All this together
[00:12:09] makes refugees from Ukraine in
[00:12:12] Europe too expensive
[00:12:15] a pleasure. On the other hand,
[00:12:18] Ukraine is losing, it needs a lot of personnel
[00:12:22] to, as they say, with bodies, corpses, to deter the advance
[00:12:25] of the Russian army, and
[00:12:29] Europe, like Trump, hopes that
[00:12:32] if it does this, for example, drives all Ukrainians to their
[00:12:35] deaths, to the front line, then
[00:12:39] in this way it will prolong
[00:12:42] the duration of the conflict. They believe, European analysts, that if
[00:12:46] these people
[00:12:50] in age.
[00:12:54] USA,
[00:13:08] and then suddenly everything will change,
[00:13:09] everything will change.
[00:13:17] The Prime Minister of Belarus suggests that his EAEU colleagues review
[00:13:20] industrial cooperation and launch it in full. The day before, it concluded.
[00:13:24] completed.
[00:13:33] a decision is made on the recognition of documents on academic titles within
[00:13:36] the framework of labor migration. The agreement on mutual admission of
[00:13:40] brokers and dealers to participate in exchange trading creates
[00:13:44] real prerequisites for the formation of a common financial
[00:13:47] market. The world is steadily moving towards
[00:13:50] multipolarity, a multiplicity of points of economic
[00:13:53] attraction. All these processes are accompanied by
[00:13:56] upheavals that have a significant impact on the economic
[00:14:00] climate in our region. To cope with
[00:14:03] these challenges alone is extremely difficult, and sometimes
[00:14:06] impossible. Therefore, more than ever before, solidarity,
[00:14:09] cohesion, readiness for cooperation and the search for
[00:14:12] consensus are urgent. Now is not the time for disunity, for retreating
[00:14:16] into a shell of purely national interests. I am confident that
[00:14:19] together we can overcome the most difficult obstacles. And
[00:14:23] the decision made during today's meeting
[00:14:26] will bring us one step closer to this
[00:14:29] goal. The next Eurasian
[00:14:33] Intergovernmental Council will be held in autumn of this year in Minsk.
[00:14:36] The meeting will take place parallel to the international exhibition
[00:14:39] Innoprom, which is planned from September 30 to October
[00:14:42] 2. Quality and styles that attract
[00:14:45] buyers' interest. Belarusian light industry maintains its brand and
[00:14:49] competes successfully with global manufacturers. This opinion was expressed in
[00:14:52] the program.
[00:15:25] for example, there are branded Milavitsa and Eliza
[00:15:28] stores, and even when you go to a large private shopping
[00:15:32] center, there are showrooms, large
[00:15:34] areas, where quite small items are sold.
[00:15:39] Brest, Grodno sew a lot of goods, many entrepreneurs
[00:15:43] sew their goods,
[00:15:45] you can always buy, but I definitely dress in Belarusian
[00:15:48] brands. And also, why should goods chase money,
[00:15:52] who doesn't wear American beads, and how
[00:15:55] lumpens become a base for social protests. Watch

[00:16:16] Interactive platforms were located at the Palace of Culture as part of the "For Safety Together" campaign, an exhibition of modern and
[00:16:19] retro equipment, an introduction to the weapons of special forces, and
[00:16:23] spectacular demonstration performances by dog handlers with
[00:16:26] service dogs. An important part of the marathon was a solemn memory
[00:16:29] ritual at the memorial complex in honor of the liberators in Victory
[00:16:33] Park, where the fallen defenders of Molodechno during the Great War were honored.
[00:17:09] As part of the solemn event, the best law enforcement officers were honored,
[00:17:13] receiving well-deserved state and departmental awards, as well as
[00:17:16] epaulets for their next special ranks.
[00:17:20] званий.
[00:17:29] One of the main events of the marathon was a festive concert, featuring
[00:17:33] departmental ensembles, famous artists, and children.
[00:17:36] The great
[00:17:40] marathon will continue its journey through the cities of our
[00:17:43] country.
[00:17:46] Today, the summer-autumn hunting season for feathered
[00:17:49] waterfowl and marsh game, woodcock, quail, and pheasant begins in Belarus. They are now on the list of
[00:17:53] permitted trophies. Hunting is allowed during daylight
[00:17:56] hours with smoothbore weapons and dogs, excluding
[00:17:59] hounds and greyhounds. From September 5, hunting for partridge
[00:18:02] and gray partridge will become available.
[00:18:05] In September, for geese, for black grouse, a separate
[00:18:09] permit is required, which should be obtained in advance. The season will last until
[00:18:12] December 13.
[00:18:14] In Minsk, traffic will be restricted on Partizansky
[00:18:18] Avenue starting today. Road services are starting to replace
[00:18:22] the asphalt. The work will take place at night to
[00:18:25] minimize inconvenience for drivers. On the night of August
[00:18:29] 8 to 9, from 22:00 to 6
[00:18:32] AM, traffic will be restricted on the section from Molodezhnaya Street to
[00:18:36] Angarskaya Street. Repair work will begin from this
[00:18:39] direction. On the night of August 10, restrictions will shift to
[00:18:43] the opposite direction from Angarskaya Street to Molodezhnaya,
[00:18:47] with work hours also from 22:00 to 6
[00:18:49] AM. The State Automobile Inspectorate urges drivers to be attentive and
[00:18:53] plan their trips in advance. During repairs, it is better to choose
[00:18:56] bypass routes to avoid delays. Also, on these days,
[00:19:00] the routes of trams number 3 and
[00:19:02] 5 will change. In Dubai, on an artificial
[00:19:06] archipelago, a unique rainy street has been created. On this
[00:19:10] kilometer-long boulevard, precipitation occurs all year round, even when there's
[00:19:13] not a cloud in the sky. The latest Arab wonder of the world has already become
[00:19:17] a major attraction for tourists from all over the
[00:19:20] world.
[00:19:29] A special climate control system constantly maintains a comfortable 27°
[00:19:33] here. The intensity of precipitation is regulated
[00:19:36] by electronics, from a light cool drizzle to a tropical
[00:19:40] downpour. Moreover, engineers promise that in winter, the installations
[00:19:43] will be able to transform this location into a snowy wonderland in the middle
[00:19:47] of the desert.
[00:19:50] An exhibition called "Good books for the happiest childhood" is being held
[00:19:53] at the National Library. Here are presented collections of fairy tales and
[00:19:57] poems, as well as educational literature and encyclopedias for
[00:20:01] children of all ages. The exhibition brought together works
[00:20:04] by authors from three centuries, starting from the 19th century. For young
[00:20:08] readers, a meeting was held with Belarusian children's writer
[00:20:11] Sergey Klimkovich. The author presented new books and
[00:20:15] spoke about his childhood years, as the stories of those
[00:20:18] years formed the basis of his works. I always tell
[00:20:22] children: the most important
[00:20:25] thing is three things. It's
[00:20:28] benevolence, curiosity, and
[00:20:31] intelligence. All of this only comes about through
[00:20:35] books. This is the passion that is already
[00:20:39] embedded in my books. I believe this will be the most, most interesting, most
[00:20:43] fascinating meeting
[00:20:47] with these books and many other books. About
[00:20:50] friendship, about mutual aid, about the joy
[00:20:54] of childhood. The exhibition features books
[00:20:57] whose main characters are schoolchildren. They learn to solve difficult situations
[00:21:01] thanks to their resourcefulness and friendship. The exhibition
[00:21:04] will continue until September 11.
