Such a [00:00:03] wide range of topics was discussed today by the President with [00:00:06] the Savmin leadership. The issues are different, but sensitive and affect [00:00:10] people. Villagers will not be left without help, however, the financing [00:00:13] schemes for the supply of fertilizers needed for them will be [00:00:16] revised. Also on the agenda were proposals for solving [00:00:20] demographic problems, unprecedented support for families with [00:00:23] children is a priority of Belarusian policy. The Ministry of Labor [00:00:26] proposes new incentives, the question is how effective [00:00:30] they will be. Alexander Lukashenko believes that an optimal formula [00:00:33] must be found at the state level to [00:00:36] motivate conscious motherhood and fatherhood, but overall, [00:00:40] of course, the developers secured the support of the first [00:00:43] Natalia Breus with the details of both the conversation and the decisions [00:00:47] made. This format of discussing important [00:00:50] legal acts has entered into everyday practice, [00:00:53] a package of questions has accumulated, the leadership of Savmin [00:00:56] with the President. This time a very representative composition [00:01:00] of participants in the conversation, governors also came, but the harvesting [00:01:03] campaign is on their minds and Alexander Lukashenko will make an important [00:01:07] remark on this matter. First of all, I want to warn [00:01:10] the administration and the government, stop dragging governors [00:01:14] from all over the world during the harvesting campaign. Don't we [00:01:18] know the opinion of the governors on these issues? Everything that [00:01:21] is discussed affects people and is sensitive for the budget. [00:01:25] One of the questions concerned the purchase by agricultural organizations [00:01:28] of mineral fertilizers. [00:03:30] phosphoric plant, as we call it, [00:03:32] Grodno-Azot, [00:03:34] could sell these volumes on the external market, and at a higher price, for example, [00:03:38] nitrogen fertilizer is almost one and a half times higher [00:03:42] than what we supply to the domestic market, world [00:03:46] prices for fertilizers are growing, as is demand, without them what [00:03:49] food, affected disruptions in logistical [00:03:52] chains and the Middle East conflict, strict framework [00:03:56] of state approaches do not allow... Especially since the news from our western neighbors is impressive: [00:04:00] after a severe drought, [00:04:11] European farmers risk being left without a good [00:04:15] harvest, abnormal heat could cost Europe [00:04:18] 180 billion euros. Food inflation is also [00:04:21] growing. Before talking about the topic, Alexander [00:04:25] Lukashenko will literally grill the relevant minister. [00:04:28] when will you finish with the rapeseed? [00:05:00] Friday, Saturday we will harvest the rapeseed, winter [00:05:03] rapeseed for corn, Alexander Grigorievich, this is a serious [00:05:06] topic, of course, we are now observing, especially in the [00:05:09] southern regions, where... Brest region, Gomel region, [00:05:12] some fields have dried up, but nevertheless we plan [00:05:16] to harvest more corn than last year's level of corn grain, last year we [00:05:20] harvested 1,950 thousand [00:05:22] tons, this year we plan to harvest at least [00:05:26] 2.2 million to 2.4 million tons of corn grain, in total [00:05:30] there will be grain, in total we plan to [00:05:33] reach 11.5 million tons [00:05:37] of grain, the harvest is ongoing, so this year [00:05:41] Alexanderovich. considering the weather conditions, they [00:05:44] are favorable, we worked with all [00:05:47] regions, [00:05:50] we didn't have a year for agricultural crops, not in my memory, today [00:05:53] there is everything, even a light rain at night today, it rained at night, [00:05:57] not that it would rain now and take a day off, it rained at night, [00:06:01] the crops will dry by noon, after noon [00:06:04] you can harvest, or maybe earlier, that's up to the [00:06:08] leaders and specialists, the year is ideal. So that not to run around with [00:06:24] adjustments again, [00:06:25] to reduce the cost of mineral [00:06:33] fertilizers for our farmers and ensure quota selection, the government proposes a new [00:06:38] approach under the full control of the governor. [00:06:41] in the center [00:08:13] of a huge civilization, not only [00:08:16] Europe, but in the center of the Eurasian continent, [00:08:20] the cleanest corner [00:08:22] of the planet, it's even surprising that we managed [00:08:25] to preserve war all around, [00:08:29] some kind of infection, Poland again started to burn all [00:08:32] its power plants with coal, heating and so on, [00:08:36] we manage to preserve a clean country. [00:08:39] Here we need the relevant inspections not only to fight [00:08:43] poaching, but also those who are used [00:08:47] to littering, the Ministry of Natural Resources is also [00:08:49] not doing enough, and this [00:08:52] inspection, so we don't need to say here that we have [00:08:56] taken God by the beard, there are a lot of [00:09:00] problems that need to be solved, go to the forest, especially [00:09:03] around Minsk, and see what is happening in the difficult sphere [00:09:07] of nature protection and control over nature management by these [00:09:10] structures. [00:10:13] support for parents like nowhere else, payments for [00:10:16] the birth of a baby, family capital for large families, and [00:10:19] also monthly benefits, it would [00:10:22] seem. [00:14:25] cooperation, negotiations were also held with the Prime Minister [00:14:28] of Russia, the heads of government considered issues of economic [00:14:32] relations between the two countries. The President was keenly [00:14:35] interested in the results of these meetings, and questions were also raised [00:14:38] about Alexander Lukashenko's participation in upcoming summits [00:14:42] of international organizations. [00:14:45] The weather gave farmers a gift, at a meeting with the President [00:14:48] and the leadership of the Council of Ministers, the formula for a new harvest was laid out [00:14:52] on the shelves. Speed up the pace of harvesting. Now the number one [00:14:55] task for grain growers, every fair day counts in the Mogilev [00:14:59] region, the transfer of equipment from districts and [00:15:03] farms that have actually coped with the harvest has begun. [00:15:06] Bobruisk and Kirov districts are ready to help those [00:15:10] who still have a lot of work. Additional [00:15:12] combine harvester crews arrived today in Mogilev and [00:15:16] Kruhlyany districts. They came from the ONevskiy Agro farm [00:15:19] to help another farm harvest the crop. Together we [00:15:23] are already in our third season. Last season we were a little short, this [00:15:27] year we have already harvested 1,000 tons, we need to help harvest [00:15:31] the grain before the rain, before everything, so that it doesn't spill, so that [00:15:34] it can be harvested on time, the main thing is that the machine doesn't let us down. I [00:15:38] love my job very much, because [00:15:41] it's a joy when there's a harvest, when the bread [00:15:45] is good, when you go to the store, there's everything [00:15:48] on the shelves, so it's pleasant to know that you've contributed [00:15:51] to it, somewhere someone managed it faster, [00:15:55] someone has a little [00:15:58] more land, so we need to help, today we have [00:16:01] about 80% harvested [00:16:04] already, all equipment is involved in the harvesting campaign, including [00:16:08] small tractors and hauling and removal, by the way, this [00:16:11] team of guys who are coming to help us, [00:16:14] today we are ready to significantly speed up our pace [00:16:18] of the harvesting campaign. Three [00:16:20] columns of powerful combines changed their location to [00:16:24] continue harvesting in other farms of the central region, [00:16:27] from Nesvizh nine machines went to help farmers in [00:16:31] Krupki district, from Starye Dorogi to Smolevichi, and from [00:16:34] Lyuban to Slutsk. And new records... Latvia, the first young [00:16:38] combine harvester driver in the country to harvest three thousand tons, was identified in the Shchuchin [00:16:42] district, he became the machine operator of the Vasilishki enterprise. [00:16:45] Vladislav Husha, the youngest [00:16:48] combine harvester driver in the farm. He is 25 years old, but this is already [00:16:52] his fourth season. Last year he harvested 2,400 [00:16:56] tons, this year he set the bar at 3,000 and reached [00:16:59] it. When he reached it, it was yesterday. And it was very difficult, [00:17:03] because there were literally only a couple of tons left, but my close [00:17:06] people who... supported me, my relatives, comrades, [00:17:09] of course, who helped and supported [00:17:12] in every possible way, our wonderful engineering service, [00:17:16] Vasilishki, who literally you call, God forbid, if there is a breakdown, they [00:17:19] rushed, our leadership, which also did not leave us [00:17:23] and certainly [00:17:26] did not force us with bonuses, inspired us, so to speak, so that we [00:17:29] worked, and it was difficult, because working until late [00:17:33] and getting up at 6 am, coming home at 11 pm, and [00:17:36] it seemed... already impossible, but [00:17:39] somehow it worked out, now I hold the diploma and I still [00:17:43] don't believe it, we have about 500 combine [00:17:46] operators working on the harvest, a little over 300 [00:17:49] drivers, it is gratifying to note that not only boys participate in [00:17:53] the harvesting campaign, but also girls, not [00:17:56] so long ago we awarded the first two-thousand-ton harvester in the country, who [00:18:00] transported 2,000 tons, we will add [00:18:03] that on August 5, Vladislav was the first among young combine harvester drivers in the Grodno region [00:18:06] and second in the country to reach a harvest of 2,000 tons. As [00:18:10] part of the republican project Youth for Harvest, he [00:18:13] was awarded the title of young combine harvester three-thousand-ton harvester and received [00:18:17] valuable gifts. The Ministry of Emergency Situations also participates in [00:18:20] the harvest at all stages, from harvesting to its [00:18:23] transportation and preservation. More than 260 rescuers [00:18:27] in their free time went to the fields to [00:18:30] help in collecting the national loaf. They also [00:18:33] operate combines, transport grain, and work as tractor drivers. [00:19:07] to make Berezensky district a leader, everything contributes to this, [00:19:11] good new equipment, wonderful harvest, [00:19:15] favorable weather. [00:19:17] Thanks to the efforts of rescuers, more than [00:19:20] 115 tons of grain have already been threshed, a special pride [00:19:23] of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, almost 90 employees, each of whom [00:19:27] collected over a ton of grain. The development [00:19:30] of the Pripyat Polesie is one of the priorities for the formation of strong [00:19:33] regions with developed infrastructure. Now in Belarus. [00:20:07] The structure is being transformed, settlements, people remain to live [00:20:11] and work in their small homeland, much has been done, but not everything, [00:20:14] clear guidelines for the district leadership to more effectively develop [00:20:18] the industrial sector, agriculture, to work on increasing [00:20:22] wages. In Petrikovsky district, about 20 [00:20:25] investment projects are being implemented, road construction is proceeding at an active [00:20:28] pace. The construction of a FOC is in its final [00:20:32] stage, special attention is paid to land reclamation and [00:20:34] effective use of specific [00:20:38] advantages of the territory, the emphasis is also on the development of the tourism [00:20:41] component, tourism, a driver [00:20:44] of growth, at the second meeting of the seventh [00:20:48] All-Belarusian People's Assembly. [00:21:59] to deal with employment issues, also on the agenda are road repairs, [00:22:02] demolition of abandoned houses, construction of new [00:22:05] facilities. For greater comfort of animals on farms [00:22:09] and overall improvement of dairy cattle breeding, Belarus [00:22:12] continues to build prophylactic centers for calves. In total, [00:22:16] more than 520 such new [00:22:19] facilities will appear in the country's regions. A strategic issue of preserving the livestock [00:22:22] of cattle, which the head of state constantly draws attention to. [00:22:26] Correspondents of the first information conducted an audit in [00:22:29] the Minsk region, where 46 prophylactic centers have already been put [00:22:33] into operation. About how the path to big milk begins with [00:22:36] caring for small animals from Stolbtsovsky district, Alexey [00:22:40] Kondratenko. From here milk sales go [00:22:43] with extra grade 10 tons. Well, and there, [00:22:46] well, 3 tons, somewhere 3600-4 tons. As it were. It was milked, [00:22:50] this is a noticeable increase. Dairy farm complex [00:22:53] Terebeynaya Novostroyka, which was built on [00:22:57] the site of the demolished old MTK. In [00:22:59] the Nalibaki Agro agricultural enterprise, they built it themselves, [00:23:03] saving money at each stage of construction. In [00:23:07] the entire MTK, one of the main facilities is a prophylactic center for [00:23:11] calves, which will be gradually filled. In [00:23:14] such compact houses, calves will live up to 2 [00:23:18] months. The quality of plastic boxes, by [00:23:21] the way, of Belarusian production, farmers have already [00:23:25] appreciated it. There [00:23:27] are drinking bowls with water and milk, in general, everything [00:23:31] is done as comfortably as possible for small animals, yes, [00:23:35] big milk, in principle, starts from here, from [00:23:37] the birth of a heifer in the first place, and how she will [00:23:41] feel, how she will grow, in the future [00:23:45] it is, well, a full-fledged cow, [00:23:48] we have tried it. [00:24:28] In 7 years, he has become a professional in animal husbandry, and the replenishment [00:24:31] of the dairy herd with healthy and strong [00:24:35] calves depends on his work. They come to the [00:24:37] delivery room a day before calving, calving [00:24:41] occurs, [00:24:43] then drying, well, we dry the calves, weigh them, [00:24:47] transport them to the prophylactic center, prophylactic center about... [00:25:08] Minsk region for milk production, [00:25:11] the production of quality products is also promoted by [00:25:15] the modernization of complexes. This year we are building [00:25:18] seven prophylactic centers. according to the program of development together with the [00:25:21] regional executive committee, the eighth prophylactic center is being built on the basis of the Kaganets [00:25:25] complexes separately, it is not this [00:25:28] financing, in these prophylactic centers we [00:25:31] include all the latest equipment that is available in principle [00:25:35] in the country for processing and dishes for [00:25:38] calves, and stalls for calves, determining [00:25:41] the quality of milk feeding and colostrum, that is, in principle, everything [00:25:45] that is most modern in animal husbandry for the care of small [00:25:49] calves... [00:26:02] eleven facilities are already ready, 46 in August [00:26:06] the agro-industrial complex of the central region will be replenished with more [00:26:09] than thirty prophylactic centers. Alexey Kondratenko and Nikolai [00:26:13] Lashkevich - first [00:26:14] informational. [00:26:21] Heat, drought, fires continue to inflict increasing damage [00:26:24] on European farmers. According to official data, fires have destroyed crops [00:26:28] on almost half a million hectares. In France, agricultural production. vineyards [00:26:33] of the Bordeaux [00:26:34] region, [00:26:38] entire farms have been destroyed by [00:26:41] fire, along with them the results [00:26:44] of centuries of selection, but not only crops are dying, [00:26:48] livestock is also suffering losses, both meat and dairy. In [00:26:51] Austria, the total grain harvest will be about 4.5 million [00:26:55] tons, that is, 18% less [00:26:58] than last year. In the eastern regions of the country, citizens are being prepared for [00:27:01] a sharp rise in bread prices, meat and other [00:27:04] products. A severe drought has engulfed two-thirds of Italy, [00:27:08] the total damage to farmers reaches one and a half billion [00:27:11] euros. Corn, soy, vegetable crops, olive groves, and vineyards are dying. [00:27:15] Dairy production has decreased by [00:27:18] 20%, in Sardinia they collected [00:27:21] 70% less honey. Even the famous Italian [00:27:25] Parmesan, which is stored in cellars, is deteriorating. [00:27:28] Germans can no longer afford [00:27:31] a state of universal welfare, if they do not start [00:27:35] saving, the country will face a catastrophe, the German [00:27:37] authorities are preparing to proceed with a social security [00:27:40] reform. Already next year, housing benefits [00:27:44] and long-term care benefits for [00:27:47] disabled people are expected to be reduced. Children's payments are also planned [00:27:50] to be cut, this will affect 1.5 million people or 600,000 [00:27:53] households, most of which are already [00:27:57] below the poverty line. The ruling coalition approved the plan and even [00:28:00] if the probable resignation of Chancellor Merz occurs, the new head [00:28:04] of the cabinet will be obliged to implement these [00:28:07] measures. In Colombia, the number of earthquake [00:28:11] victims is growing, 224 people died, about [00:28:14] 700 sought medical help. According to the most [00:28:16] cautious estimates, almost 3,000 people [00:28:20] are missing. A huge number of people remain under [00:28:23] the rubble. Rescuers and local residents continue search [00:28:27] operations. Today, a live infant was rescued from under [00:28:30] the rubble. [00:28:42] The country is under a state of national disaster, the Belarusian Foreign Ministry [00:28:45] recommends that our citizens who are in Colombia [00:28:48] observe personal safety measures, take into [00:28:52] account the possibility of repeated underground tremors, follow the instructions [00:28:56] of local authorities, and it is better to refrain from unnecessary [00:28:59] trips to this country given the situation. [00:29:02] Alexander Lukashenko, on behalf of the Belarusian people and on his own behalf, sent [00:29:06] condolences to the leader of Colombia. The President of Belarus [00:29:09] expressed sympathy to the relatives of the deceased, and also [00:29:12] wished fortitude and a speedy recovery to the injured, [00:29:16] strength and courage to the residents of the country to overcome [00:29:19] the tragic consequences of the natural [00:29:21] disaster. Illegal travelers do not [00:29:25] miss the opportunity to use the route through [00:29:28] the air borders of Belarus. Since the beginning of the year, through Minsk National Airport, [00:29:32] seven people have tried to cross the border with fake [00:29:36] documents. All violators are so-called transit passengers, the final [00:29:39] destination of their illegal journey was supposed to be the countries [00:29:42] of the European Union. For 81 years, employees of the [00:29:46] Minsk border control detachment have prevented attempts of illegal entry and [00:29:49] exit from the country. About the service of border guards at the main [00:29:53] air harbor of Belarus, a report by Victoria [00:29:56] Radevich. Our working day begins long [00:29:59] before the first passenger comes to the border [00:30:03] control line, analysis of operational information, receiving instructions from [00:30:06] the head and a professional test, without passing which there will be no [00:30:10] admission to the shift, only then work with passengers, about a hundred [00:30:13] people pass through the controller in a day. Among the passengers, as we are told [00:30:17] here, it is not difficult to distinguish those who are flying for the first time, however, the experienced eye [00:30:21] of border guards easily distinguishes pre-flight jitters from the calm [00:30:25] state of those who do not have everything in order with their documents, they, as a rule, [00:30:28] are not focused on what is happening around, but on the actions of the controller. [00:30:32] A foreigner who arrived in May on a flight from Dubai via [00:30:36] Tashkent hoped to outsmart Belarusian border guards. The passenger [00:30:39] presented a Bangladeshi citizen's passport, the Belarusian visa in it raised [00:30:42] doubts. A special check confirmed that the security features [00:30:46] were faked on a regular printer, literally a few days later, a foreigner who arrived from Istanbul [00:30:49] with a fake passport was caught at the airport. [00:30:53] Border guards admit that in reality violators are identified even before [00:30:57] checking documents. When processing passengers at the booth, that is, [00:31:00] indeed. [00:31:22] This woman was with a minor child, she tried to [00:31:26] pinch the child, that is, it really happens, [00:31:30] but as a rule, all violators, they [00:31:33] are nervous, that is, by their facial expressions, by their [00:31:36] actions, it is immediately clear that something is wrong. By the way, the last [00:31:40] month of spring this year turned out to be rich in detentions at the airport, but [00:31:44] specialists say this is a confluence of circumstances, more often illegal immigrants [00:31:47] try to cross our air borders in December-January, often caught [00:31:51] those on the wanted list. Belarus, as a rule, is chosen as [00:31:54] a transit country, the further direction of the illegal journey may [00:31:58] differ. As a rule, these are citizens who arrived from the Russian Federation [00:32:02] and fly to any country, it doesn't matter, it can [00:32:06] be Azerbaijan, it can be [00:32:09] Uzbekistan, and Dubai, that is, all directions that we have at the airport [00:32:13] exist, a violator can fly to any country whatsoever. To understand the real [00:32:16] intention of a traveler, they can ask leading questions, it is unlikely that a trick [00:32:20] for selfish purposes will work, because on the side of the law there is also smart [00:32:24] technology, the tandem is quite effective. We have an automated [00:32:27] facial recognition system that helps the controller, if necessary, [00:32:31] to identify the violator. The main problem, probably, is [00:32:34] the unawareness of people crossing the border about [00:32:38] the norms of legislation that must be observed, because [00:32:41] many who come simply say that they [00:32:45] were not told this, they were not warned, [00:32:48] we did not know, this applies to foreigners and Belarusians, [00:32:51] no matter. The majority of passengers, border guards note, are still [00:32:55] conscientious, there are some nuances that people forget to take into account when [00:32:58] planning their trip, for example, there are no signatures in the documents or there are no [00:33:02] papers allowing children to leave. Now there are frequent cases when [00:33:06] people, having citizenship of another country and living abroad for a long time, [00:33:10] present a foreign passport, most often American, such situations [00:33:13] require investigation, but... as a rule, they do not take much time and end [00:33:17] in favor of the passenger. We see in the system that the person really has [00:33:21] citizenship of either the Republic of Belarus or the Russian Federation, [00:33:24] a conversation takes place with the person, we explain why, on [00:33:27] what basis all this is being done, well, in principle, [00:33:30] we let them go. Belarus remains an open country, new [00:33:34] flights appear, connecting us with new cities and countries, one of the latest [00:33:38] such new destinations, for example, Dushanbe, Minsk. No matter how [00:33:41] the flow changes, receiving guests at the main air harbor of the country is not created. [00:34:32] genius fully immersed himself in the school Olympiad movement. The ticket [00:34:36] turned out to be successful, opening the doors to the leading university in the country. Hard [00:34:40] work and daily practice, as a result, at the International [00:34:43] Mathematics Olympiad. The problems [00:34:48] are mostly all about proofs, there are also those that require [00:34:51] an answer, but still you have to prove a lot in the process, you need to write down all [00:34:55] the logical transitions, not only the answer is important, if you even [00:34:59] miss something in the explanation of how we arrived at it, this will certainly [00:35:02] lead to a reduction in points. The thirty-third International Student [00:35:06] Mathematics Olympiad this year was held in Bulgaria, bringing together [00:35:10] about 500 participants from 48 countries around the world, and [00:35:13] here the BSU team for the first time in the last 20 [00:35:16] years showed a historic result. In the team [00:35:20] standings among 135 universities in the world, Belarus is [00:35:24] second. In individual results, we have six coveted [00:35:28] gold medals. It was not unexpected. That is, we counted [00:35:31] on five medals in advance. And [00:35:34] the fact that this is a [00:35:38] trend shows that in previous [00:35:40] years we won one, two, three gold [00:35:44] medals. So. this time the bar was higher, well, the students [00:35:47] are stronger, so this is not unexpected, this is the result of systematic [00:35:51] work that began 4 years ago at the Faculty [00:35:55] of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, at our department, mathematics is a rather [00:35:58] conservative science, so we did not apply any fundamental innovations, [00:36:01] the Olympiad is also a sport, so the more you solve, the [00:36:05] better the result. two rounds, 10 problems from different fields, [00:36:09] algebra, mathematical analysis, combinatorics, analytical [00:36:12] geometry and number theory in total. 10 hours for [00:36:16] the solution, a challenging problem that our students [00:36:19] solved not without the help of experienced mentors, under the clear [00:36:22] guidance of a team of three teachers, they conquered the peak, [00:36:26] where numbers are just... The tip of the iceberg. In fact, in [00:36:30] mathematics there are very few numbers when you go beyond the limits of school [00:36:33] mathematics. It is more the art of connections, the art [00:36:37] of seeing patterns, some [00:36:39] patterns. These connections between [00:36:43] different areas, it's all very beautiful when you notice [00:36:46] something like that. Noticing magic in the exact [00:36:49] sciences is not an easy task, but it is undoubtedly [00:36:52] feasible. Nikita Shutro teaches this to students today [00:36:56] in electives. Within the walls of his native 146th gymnasium, [00:36:59] it's always nice to see when they succeed [00:37:02] in something, [00:37:05] it brightens the mood, creates the feeling that it was [00:37:08] worth it, even if it was hard to help them get there. The [00:37:12] BSU team has been participating in intellectual competitions for [00:37:15] 25 years, during which time they have won 103 medals. [00:37:19] half of which are gold. Twice in [00:37:21] the team standings, students of the country's leading university [00:37:25] became first in the world. Kapitalina [00:37:28] Zenkevich and Ivan Mozgo, the first [00:37:30] news channel. Belarusian trade unions continue [00:37:34] a large-scale audit of school bazaars. From the first days of August, [00:37:37] inspectors went on raids to personally check the readiness [00:37:41] of retail outlets for the new academic year. Under the close [00:37:44] control of specialists is absolutely all student arsenal for boys and [00:37:48] girls of all ages. In the focus of attention are the depth of assortment, [00:37:52] the quality of materials and, what is especially important, the origin [00:37:55] of the goods. About the results of the inspection, [00:37:57] Polina Beresneva will tell. August is a restless month for many [00:38:01] parents. They need to get their children ready for school almost from scratch. From lined notebooks [00:38:05] and pens to vests and classic trousers. And so that the search [00:38:08] for that perfect uniform does not turn into a race through shops, and [00:38:12] school excitement with a rush for the September 1st deadline, retail [00:38:15] outlets are under special control of specialized departments, as well as [00:38:19] trade unions. It is important for specialists during monitoring not just to see [00:38:22] full hangers, they check the inside, this is the composition, [00:38:26] the size range, and also the height range. I will also note [00:38:29] the discounts for customers, the main task [00:38:33] is accessibility and quality. Under close [00:38:35] control is absolutely the entire assortment of goods for boys and girls, from [00:38:39] first-graders to graduates. Overpricing, shortage of basic [00:38:43] items, or obvious defects, trade unions immediately work out the issue with local [00:38:46] authorities. It can be concluded that in [00:38:50] comparison with last year, [00:38:53] the number of goods from Belarusian [00:38:55] manufacturers has increased, now, according to statistics, [00:38:59] they account for about 80%. Retail [00:39:02] outlets improve service, [00:39:05] special areas are allocated for [00:39:09] school supplies, school assortment goods, where [00:39:13] consultants work, the buyer, if [00:39:16] suddenly confused, can always get help and support. [00:39:19] The quality of fabrics is practically the key thing that inspectors [00:39:23] pay attention to. Literally by touch and by labels, they check the composition. [00:39:26] Synthetics do not pass the test, the choice should be not only in favor [00:39:30] of beauty, but also safety. For many, another criterion is [00:39:34] practicality. We look at the item, in accordance with [00:39:37] the list. In this case, we have a vest for [00:39:41] girls of primary school age. Here is a Belarusian [00:39:43] manufacturer. Next, we also look at [00:39:46] among nine [00:39:49] vests, which manufacturers' goods are [00:39:53] represented here? We constantly come to this department store. [00:39:56] There is a large assortment here, [00:40:00] freely, you can choose everything from [00:40:03] stationery to clothes, the service is very [00:40:07] cultured, the prices are quite pleasant, [00:40:10] we bought notebooks, then [00:40:14] pens, covers, paints [00:40:17] and gouache. Monitoring is carried out both in [00:40:20] large [00:40:23] settlements and in district towns. [00:40:27] In the first week of August, our specialists have already visited [00:40:30] 82 retail outlets in [00:40:33] twenty-six regional and district towns. Specialists [00:40:36] study the availability of clothes and shoes for boys and [00:40:40] girls, as well as the assortment [00:40:43] of stationery. In the capital's department store Belarus, there are more than [00:40:47] 300 models of school uniforms from leading Belarusian manufacturers [00:40:51] of the Bellikprom concern. Also about 170 samples of backpacks and [00:40:55] about 200 pairs of shoes. Clothes can be selected for height [00:40:58] from 116 to 190 cm. We made sure [00:41:02] that preparing for school was affordable and we offer daily [00:41:06] discounts of up to 40% on school clothes, up to [00:41:09] 45% on clothes and shoes, and up to 20% on [00:41:13] stationery. Belarusians themselves are invited to join the monitoring, if you came to the fair and [00:41:17] did not find the right product, size [00:41:21] or encountered an overpriced price tag, there is no need to wait. [00:41:24] Comments or suggestions are accepted through a special service [00:41:27] on the official electronic portal of the FPB, a solution will be found [00:41:31] quickly. Polina Beresneva and Anatoly Dolotovsky - the first [00:41:34] news channel. An exhibition dedicated to [00:41:38] the centenary of Fidel Castro's birth opened in the House of Representatives [00:41:41] of the National Assembly. The project was organized [00:41:44] jointly with BelTA, the National Archive and the Museum of the History of the Great [00:41:48] Patriotic War. The exhibition includes photographs of the Comandante's visit [00:41:52] to the BSSR in 1972, [00:41:55] including the laying of wreaths at the Victory Monument, [00:41:58] a trip to the Khatyn memorial complex. Fidel Castro [00:42:02] admired the history of Belarus, the courage of its people and [00:42:05] the patriotism shown during the Great Patriotic [00:42:08] War. One of them [00:43:10] have maintained diplomatic relations since 1992, [00:43:13] although very close ties existed between the peoples [00:43:17] since Soviet times, the first tractors for [00:43:20] the development of local agriculture came from Belarus, and the documents [00:43:23] presented at the exhibition clearly demonstrate how [00:43:27] the foundation laid in Soviet times grew into [00:43:30] a partnership based on deep mutual [00:43:33] respect. Cuba was and remains in our hearts, today's [00:43:36] exhibition is just such, let's say, perhaps not the brightest. [00:44:10] ties say that an old [00:44:13] friend is better than two new ones, we know each [00:44:16] other, the exhibition will continue its work in [00:44:19] the House of Representatives as part of events aimed at developing [00:44:23] the dialogue between the two countries. More [00:44:25] and more international organizations are beginning to adhere to the true testament [00:44:29] of Pierre de Coubertin, as well as new IOC recommendations from [00:44:33] May 7 on the admission of Belarusians to all tournaments, [00:44:36] without any restrictions. From January 1 of the coming year... [00:44:46] under the auspices of the international federation with its flag and anthem. The Board of Directors [00:44:49] of the department noted the status of an individual, canceled the status [00:44:52] of an individual neutral athlete. This was reported by the press service [00:44:56] of the association. At the same time, the structure emphasized that the current [00:44:59] admission policy remains in force until [00:45:03] December 31. This means that at the upcoming World Championship [00:45:07] the Blue-Eyed Flotilla will be represented in... [00:45:53] both men and women. 10 of the declared disciplines are Olympic classes. [00:45:56] The National Children's Center Zubrenok opens its doors to the whole [00:46:00] world. At the invitation of the President of Belarus, children from 10 [00:46:04] countries will come to our country for recreation and recuperation. In just a couple [00:46:07] of days, they are waiting for a delegation from China. [00:47:19] try to choose different ones, so that... [00:48:23] The National Children's Center Zubrenok is , of course, our traditions, [00:48:26] a rich history that is certainly filled with bright events, but [00:48:29] tragic, including heroic ones, so here on this [00:48:33] territory everyone can get acquainted with the partisan movement of our native [00:48:37] Republic of Belarus. [00:48:40] Traditions, the value of one's history - this is in the spirit of the National Children's Center. [00:48:43] Zubrenok is a living history of the development of the pioneer movement in Belarus, the guys who [00:48:47] are brought up here are examples for [00:49:11] information channel. [00:49:13] Such is the information picture of this [00:49:15] Tuesday.
