[00:00:56] Live on the first news channel, we continue.
[00:01:00] Sensitive issues for both people and the budget. The government proposes a number
[00:01:03] of innovations in various spheres, they are on the agenda of today's meeting in the
[00:01:07] Palace of Independence. First - updating the scheme for financing the supply
[00:01:10] of mineral fertilizers. The problem is that agricultural organizations of the country
[00:01:14] do not fully buy out their quotas. As a result, both the
[00:01:17] quality of field work and fertilizer producers suffer.
[00:01:21] We supply fertilizers, well, not we supply,
[00:01:23] the producer supplies annually, be it
[00:01:27] in autumn, it is financed accordingly
[00:01:36] and
[00:01:37] it was
[00:01:41] easier for me to produce, you
[00:01:45] want fertilizer, bought, paid money, that's all,
[00:01:48] but the state
[00:01:50] participates in this helps
[00:01:54] agricultural organizations to buy these
[00:01:56] fertilizers.
[00:02:30] The income proposes
[00:02:32] to pay half from the republican budget
[00:02:35] (15 billion rubles) with direct transfer
[00:02:39] to manufacturers, for payment of the other
[00:02:43] half to use own
[00:02:46] funds of agricultural organizations, loans and
[00:02:50] local budgets, that is, those who will
[00:02:54] consume these fertilizers and get a return from them,
[00:02:57] will pay, well, about 30. 25%
[00:03:01] of the cost, all the rest,
[00:03:04] someone, it's clear,
[00:03:06] who?
[00:03:08] The manufacturer will ship only after
[00:03:12] full payment, control by governors. I
[00:03:16] would ask to demonstrably show with specific calculations how
[00:03:20] the new scheme will affect the actual price of fertilizers
[00:03:23] for villagers, by shifting part of their costs to the
[00:03:27] budget, can it guarantee that this
[00:03:30] approach will ensure full quota selection, well,
[00:03:33] listen, I don't know who prepared
[00:03:36] this statement for me, what selection of quotas
[00:03:40] bothers us, what bothers us is that we pay money
[00:03:44] and what will be the effectiveness of this money, and not quotas first
[00:03:47] of all, and will the innovation also exclude the practice
[00:03:51] of unscheduled appeals again to the president for
[00:03:54] additional resources, as it was a week ago, most
[00:03:58] importantly, will this motivate? The conditional director to spin,
[00:04:02] to work more efficiently, since we are solving his
[00:04:04] problems together. The second
[00:04:08] question concerns the transformation of payments of childcare benefits for children under 3
[00:04:12] years old. In Belarus, parents receive very significant financial support,
[00:04:16] one-time payments at birth, family capital for large families, and
[00:04:20] also monthly benefits. But in the modern pragmatic world, young
[00:04:23] people increasingly first seek to get an education and build a career.
[00:04:27] This approach is characteristic for all economic.
[00:04:32] At the state level, it is necessary to find an effective
[00:04:36] formula that, firstly, will revive demographic
[00:04:39] processes, and secondly, will become a motivation for conscious
[00:04:42] motherhood and fatherhood,
[00:04:45] will make them, as it is fashionable to say, a fashionable trend,
[00:04:49] then we will preserve and multiply our population, for solving
[00:04:52] demographic problems, the government proposes to radically
[00:04:56] revise measures of state support, but...
[00:05:12] with birth rate, which shows world
[00:05:15] experience, will strong state support have an effect in
[00:05:18] the long term perspective of five
[00:05:21] or more years, how will this affect the budget
[00:05:24] of the country's economy?
[00:05:27] The third item on the agenda is the unification of the ministry and the state inspection for the protection
[00:05:30] of animal and plant life, how expedient this is,
[00:05:34] the question was already raised when the new minister was appointed. Following
[00:05:38] the meeting today, it was decided not to merge these
[00:05:41] state structures. At this moment, the Prime Minister is reporting
[00:05:44] in the President's office. Details in our next
[00:05:47] broadcasts. Kiev is losing the support of allies. So, according
[00:05:51] to the Estonian public broadcaster, donations for Ukraine have fallen from several
[00:05:55] million to hundreds of thousands of euros a year. It is noted that this is due to
[00:05:58] the population's fatigue from the conflict and a decrease in trust in the independent state due to
[00:06:02] corruption scandals. Journalists also state that Estonians simply do not have
[00:06:06] free money, as the economic situation in the country has significantly
[00:06:10] worsened. The Ukrainian conflict has significantly affected
[00:06:13] the state of American arsenals, believes the US President. Trump
[00:06:17] stated that the US had reduced its stocks of ammunition not because of his war with
[00:06:21] Iran, but because of Biden, who gave them to Kiev for $300 billion.
[00:06:24] At the same time, Trump said that he also supplies ammunition to Ukraine, but for
[00:06:28] money and through the European Union. Last week, Trump
[00:06:31] already said that he refused Ukraine Patriot supplies due to a reduction
[00:06:35] in stocks as a result of Biden's actions.
[00:06:39] Anomalous heat and prolonged drought have dealt a crushing blow to Austrian agriculture.
[00:06:42] According to media reports, the total grain harvest this year will amount to about
[00:06:46] 4.5 million tons, which is 18% less than
[00:06:49] last year. In the eastern regions, the situation is close to catastrophic,
[00:06:53] where losses reach 80%.
[00:06:56] The heat has especially severely affected durum wheat, its yield has decreased
[00:07:00] to 26%. Experts warn that the country's food
[00:07:03] security is at risk, and consumers should prepare for an inevitable
[00:07:07] rise in prices for bread, meat and other products. The climatic situation is
[00:07:11] deteriorating. Euro,
[00:07:21] pastures, corn, soybean, and vegetable crops, as well as olive groves and
[00:07:24] vineyards, have been severely affected. Dairy production has decreased by
[00:07:27] 20%, beekeeping farms in Sardinia report
[00:07:31] losses in honey harvest by
[00:07:32] 70%.
[00:07:35] In the Minsk region, the redeployment of combines has begun to assist
[00:07:38] the northern regions. Farmers of the capital region have already completed harvesting
[00:07:41] rape and. It produced more than 400 thousand tons with an average
[00:07:45] yield of 42 centners per hectare. The increase compared to last
[00:07:48] year for oilseeds exceeded 100,000 tons. In the region, the harvesting
[00:07:52] of grain crops is actively underway, with southern regions having already completed the mass
[00:07:55] harvest. Farms in the region are sowing winter crops and rapeseed, and preparing
[00:07:58] fodder. As noted by the Minsk Regional Executive Committee, the region has all
[00:08:01] the resources to obtain the planned 3 million tons of grain. The Brest
[00:08:05] region has practically completed the mass harvesting of grain and leguminous crops.
[00:08:08] The region has about 6% of areas left to harvest.
[00:08:13] Trade unions have started a large-scale audit of school markets, inspectors went on raids
[00:08:16] to personally check the readiness of retail chains for the school year, under close
[00:08:20] control is the entire arsenal of a student for boys and girls of all
[00:08:23] ages. The focus of attention is the assortment, quality and origin
[00:08:27] of the goods. If a shortage of basic items, inflated prices
[00:08:31] or defects are found, then the reaction will be instantaneous. Trade unions
[00:08:34] promptly resolve any failures directly with local authorities to
[00:08:37] rectify the situation. We constantly come to this
[00:08:41] store,
