[00:00:56] the information broadcast on the first studio. And briefly about
[00:01:00] the main points. In Colombia, the number of victims
[00:01:04] of earthquakes is growing. More than 130 hundred are missing,
[00:01:07] and a national disaster regime
[00:01:09] has been introduced in the country. Rains, thunderstorms strong wind, in Belarus

[00:02:00] still present with us, so I'm glad that
[00:02:03] you, but I watched very carefully, you visited
[00:02:06] Putin at Valdai, you had
[00:02:09] a serious conversation there, and then flew to China to our common
[00:02:13] friend. I met Xi Jinping when he was mayor of Shanghai, and
[00:02:17] we became friends. He respects you very much. Putin met with him more than
[00:02:21] 40 times. I
[00:02:23] persuaded them, then flew on his plane to
[00:02:27] Beijing to Hanoi, we restored... all connections in that
[00:02:31] zone. I must say that it went brilliantly,
[00:02:34] this is. Well, then, after
[00:02:36] Beijing, I saw that you worked very well there
[00:02:40] in the field of mechanical engineering, which
[00:02:42] is extremely important, you have something to show, but first
[00:02:46] of all I wanted to congratulate you, we
[00:02:50] revived the Lenin Prize,
[00:02:53] I know, you unanimously voted
[00:02:56] to award you this high award with a diploma,
[00:03:00] I am proud that Belarus under your
[00:03:03] leadership has become an example in the post-Soviet
[00:03:07] space, I say this absolutely authoritatively, I have been
[00:03:10] everywhere, I know the country well in 80 countries
[00:03:14] of the world. Frankly, when I saw that even
[00:03:17] the enemy put Belarus in the top five safest,
[00:03:21] most energetic countries in the post-Soviet
[00:03:24] space, you doubled your Soviet potential,
[00:03:28] your achievement is that... you, based on
[00:03:31] the best of the Soviet era, added,
[00:03:34] increased, without renewing anything, without discarding,
[00:03:37] moving forward, this gives you honor
[00:03:41] and personal gratitude, allow me to
[00:03:44] present you with this high award, thank you
[00:03:47] Gennady Andreevich, look, this is
[00:03:51] the party's gold, everything is
[00:03:53] as it should be,
[00:03:56] the award for contribution to activities for the affirmation of the ideas of a just and
[00:04:00] multipolar world, for efforts to strengthen the Union State
[00:04:03] and preserve historical heritage. Among the laureates
[00:04:07] of the prize are Raul Castro, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam,
[00:04:10] the President of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, the head of the DPRK, Kim
[00:04:14] Jong Un.
[00:04:16] Belarus and Russia are taking a new step towards a single energy space.
[00:04:20] The Council of Ministers approved the draft agreement on the rules for the operation of the unified
[00:04:24] electricity market of the Union State. The document will become
[00:04:27] the basis for negotiations between the energy
[00:04:31] countries. Now the Ministry of Energy of Belarus is empowered
[00:04:34] to sign the final rules for the functioning of the common
[00:04:37] market. Let us recall that the basic agreement on the formation of a common
[00:04:41] energy market was ratified in December 2025.
[00:04:44] The next stage is to agree on the details with the Russian
[00:04:47] side.
[00:04:50] In Colombia, the number of earthquake victims is growing. At the moment,
[00:04:53] more than 130 deaths have been reported,
[00:04:56] 570 people were injured, and hundreds of residents are still missing.
[00:05:00] People remain under the rubble, and a state of national
[00:05:03] disaster has been introduced in the country. Rescuers and local residents continue search
[00:05:07] operations. Enormous damage has been caused to the infrastructure in
[00:05:10] the country. Dozens of houses have collapsed. Traffic has been disrupted. For
[00:05:14] effective coordination of disaster relief and assistance
[00:05:17] to victims, a special headquarters has been created. This is the largest earthquake
[00:05:21] in decades, with a magnitude of 7.4. The tremors were felt in
[00:05:25] several regions of central and southwestern Colombia, as
[00:05:28] well as in other countries, Ecuador, Panama and
[00:05:30] Venezuela. Trump put forward a new condition
[00:05:34] for negotiations with Iran. He demanded compensation from Tehran for the deaths of American
[00:05:37] servicemen. This step was
[00:05:41] a response to Tehran's request for
[00:05:45] months of conflict. Trump refused to pay money to Iran and
[00:05:48] ordered counter demands. Washington intends
[00:05:52] to collect funds for all dead and wounded Americans over
[00:05:55] the past 50 years. The head of the White House has already ordered
[00:05:59] these points to be included in the agenda of any future
[00:06:02] meetings. Lithuania and Latvia have some of
[00:06:05] the worst intelligence services in Europe. This follows from a report by one
[00:06:09] of the French media, which analyzed the effectiveness of
[00:06:12] 25 European special services. Great Britain
[00:06:15] and its foreign intelligence service
[00:06:18] were named the leader of the rating. Their strong point was
[00:06:22] the ability to recruit people abroad and infiltrate various
[00:06:25] structures. The second place was taken by the Directorate General for External
[00:06:28] Security of France, and the top three was closed by the Netherlands thanks to their
[00:06:31] results in the field of cybersecurity. Among the Baltic republics,
[00:06:34] only Estonia showed a good result, taking eighth place, while Lithuanians
[00:06:38] were in eighteenth place, and Latvians twenty of...
[00:06:43] Only Hungary, Bulgaria and
[00:06:45] Slovakia
[00:06:48] fared worse. Consequences of drought in Europe.
[00:06:52] Water use restrictions have been introduced in almost 70%
[00:06:55] of France. Due to the deficit, the highest crisis level
[00:06:58] has been declared in 67 departments of the country, and
[00:07:02] an increased alert level is in effect in another 21. In the most affected zones,
[00:07:05] resources are allowed to be used exclusively for healthcare,
[00:07:08] sanitation and drinking water supply. In regions
[00:07:12] with... an alert level, the authorities had to ban watering gardens,
[00:07:15] filling swimming pools and washing cars. Difficulties with
[00:07:18] drinking water were also recorded. Water supply disconnections
[00:07:21] have already affected more than 30,000
[00:07:24] people. Anomalous heat in the European Union
[00:07:28] requires record consumption of scarce gas. And winter is still
[00:07:32] ahead. How will they cope? Let's hear the opinion
[00:07:34] of experts. Europeans this summer even
[00:07:38] resorted to withdrawing gas from underground storage facilities, although
[00:07:41] usually they... on the contrary, they pump gas into underground
[00:07:44] storage facilities in summer to prepare for winter. Now, even in summer, withdrawal
[00:07:48] took place. In principle, the need for electricity from
[00:07:52] gas stations increases, consumption increases, and prices
[00:07:55] for this grow in the European
[00:07:58] gas market and electricity market. So,
[00:08:01] hot weather, of course, creates problems, and of course, the demand
[00:08:05] for electricity simply increases. And if
[00:08:07] before, the peak consumption of electricity for Europeans was
[00:08:11] only in winter, then now the peak consumption of both gas and
[00:08:14] electricity is twice a year, both in winter and summer, because
[00:08:18] Europeans spend more and more energy on air conditioning,
[00:08:22] and this will continue to happen. If such weather occurs every year, then
[00:08:26] people will stock up on
[00:08:28] air conditioners and even more electricity consumption will
[00:08:31] increase.
[00:08:38] The weather in Belarus today will be unsettled. An orange
[00:08:41] alert level has been declared due to strong winds with gusts up to 20
[00:08:45] m/s. Short-term rains are expected over most of the country.
[00:08:48] Daytime air temperature will range from 19°
[00:08:52] in the northwest to 29° in
[00:08:54] the southeast. Whatever the weather, be it
[00:08:58] heat or rain, the harvesting campaign is going non-stop.
[00:09:01] The Ministry of Emergency Situations takes part in all stages of the campaign,
[00:09:04] from harvesting to its transportation and safety.
[00:09:08] Over 260 rescuers
[00:09:11] in their free time went to the fields to contribute to the national harvest.
[00:09:14] They also drive combines, transport
[00:09:18] grain, work as tractor drivers and machine operators
[00:09:21] of grain drying complexes. We,
[00:09:24] Berezin rescuers, have been taking part in the harvesting campaign
[00:09:27] for many years. During our vacation and days
[00:09:30] off, we consider it our duty to help our state. There are two
[00:09:34] of us in the crew, we work at the same post, we
[00:09:38] replace each other, we know each other very well, because this is our
[00:09:41] team and... we decided together, they gave
[00:09:45] us a combine and we have been trying on it for many years, of course,
[00:09:48] we are doing everything to make the Berezin district a leader,
[00:09:52] everything contributes to this, the equipment is good,
[00:09:55] new, the harvest is wonderful, the weather
[00:09:57] is favorable. Thanks to the efforts of rescuers,
[00:10:01] more than 115 tons
[00:10:04] of grain have already been threshed. The special pride of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is almost 90 workers, each of
[00:10:07] whom harvested over a ton
[00:10:09] of grain. Ticket to...
[00:10:16] The rescuer at the Minsk regional cadet school accepts

[00:10:39] with an emphasis on sports.
[00:10:42] Summer in the fresh air in the company of like-minded people,
[00:10:46] the regional educational and health-improving camp "Rescuer" in Slutsk accepts
