[00:00:27] We continue the live news on the first information channel.
[00:00:31] Sensitive issues for both people and the budget. The government is proposing a number of
[00:00:35] innovations in various areas. They were discussed yesterday at a meeting in
[00:00:39] the Palace of Independence. First - updating the financing scheme for
[00:00:42] the supply of mineral fertilizers. The problem is that agricultural organizations
[00:00:46] of the country do not fully buy their quotas. As a result, both the
[00:00:50] quality of field work and fertilizer producers suffer.
[00:00:54] We supply fertilizers,
[00:00:57] well, not we supply, the producer supplies.
[00:01:00] annually, whether in autumn, for sowing
[00:01:03] winter crops, or in spring, for sowing spring
[00:01:06] crops, it is financed
[00:01:09] accordingly
[00:01:10] and
[00:01:14] it would be easier if I produced,
[00:01:18] you want fertilizer, bought it, paid the money
[00:01:20] and that's it, but the state is involved
[00:01:24] in this and helps
[00:01:27] agricultural organizations to buy these...
[00:01:32] fertilizers, it would seem, well, what else do we need, we need something,
[00:01:36] which we will hear now.
[00:01:40] As a result, fertilizers intended for their own use are kept in a warehouse,
[00:01:43] although they can be sold on external markets for one and a half times more. We are talking
[00:01:47] about serious sums. Next year, agricultural organizations need to purchase
[00:01:51] fertilizers for 3 billion rubles. The government proposes
[00:01:54] a new procurement scheme. The second
[00:01:57] issue concerns the transformation of payments for childcare up to
[00:02:01] 3 years of age. In Belarus, parents receive significant
[00:02:04] financial support. One-time payments at birth,
[00:02:08] family capital for large families, as well as monthly benefits. But in the
[00:02:11] modern pragmatic world, young people increasingly strive to
[00:02:15] get an education first and make a career. This approach is characteristic
[00:02:19] of all economically stable countries and we are no
[00:02:21] exception. The third item on the agenda is the unification
[00:02:25] of the ministry and the state inspection for the protection of animal and plant
[00:02:29] world. How expedient this is, this question was already
[00:02:32] raised during the appointment of the new minister. Following
[00:02:35] the meeting, a decision was made not to unite these state structures, as
[00:02:39] stated by the Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection
[00:02:43] to journalists. As for the first issue, the updated
[00:02:47] scheme for financing the supply of mineral fertilizers for agriculture
[00:02:50] may be launched in 2028. This
[00:02:53] was stated by the Minister of Agriculture and Food to journalists following
[00:02:57] the meeting.
[00:03:32] Benefits for childcare up to 3 years of age will be tied to the actual income
[00:03:36] of the recipient of this benefit. This proposal by the leadership of the Council of Ministers
[00:03:39] was supported by the head of state.
[00:03:43] Also yesterday, the President of Belarus received a report from the Prime Minister.
[00:03:46] The key topic was the international agenda, taking into account the recent meetings
[00:03:50] of Alexander Turchin. During his visit to Kyrgyzstan with President
[00:03:54] Sadyr Japarov, bilateral relations,
[00:03:56] integration ties within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union, and
[00:04:00] humanitarian cooperation were discussed. In addition, the Prime Minister of Belarus
[00:04:04] held talks with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail
[00:04:07] Mishustin. The heads of government considered issues of economics
[00:04:10] and relations between the two countries. The President inquired in detail about the results
[00:04:14] of these meetings and negotiations. Questions were also raised regarding the
[00:04:17] participation of the head of the Belarusian state in the upcoming summits of a number of
[00:04:21] international
[00:04:22] organizations.
[00:04:29] The European Union is plunging into budgetary chaos due to costs for supporting
[00:04:32] Kyiv, as reported by Berliner Zeitung with reference to the official
[00:04:36] response of the European Commission, to MEP Fabio De
[00:04:39] Masi, Brussels admitted that it is impossible
[00:04:42] to even determine the total amount of interest payments for a loan of
[00:04:46] 90 billion euros. Moreover, officials do not know
[00:04:49] if there will be enough funds in the EU budget for this next year. The politician
[00:04:53] himself states that the decision was made by Brussels absolutely
[00:04:56] recklessly and caused direct damage to the European economy.
[00:05:12] provided Ukraine with more than 216 billion
[00:05:15] euros. Another reason for
[00:05:19] Poles to dislike Ukrainians. A resonant incident occurred in
[00:05:22] the suburbs of Warsaw at one of the construction sites. A forty-four-year-old
[00:05:25] Ukrainian citizen brutally beat his colleague and
[00:05:28] a female developer. According to the police, the man, without any visible
[00:05:32] reason, repeatedly hit his colleague in the face with a metal
[00:05:35] pipe. When the woman tried to stop the assailant, he
[00:05:38] attacked her. Both victims lost consciousness and were
[00:05:42] hospitalized. After the attack, the attacker fled, but the very
[00:05:46] next day he was detained. The suspect was taken
[00:05:49] into custody for 3 months, and he faces imprisonment.
[00:05:52] Romania is on the verge of a large-scale
[00:05:55] energy collapse due to the shallowing of the Danube. At
[00:05:58] the country's only nuclear power plant, the second and last
[00:06:02] operating power unit is being prepared for an emergency shutdown.
[00:06:05] The conservation process, which may start tomorrow.
[00:06:08] The water level in the area of hydraulic structures
[00:06:12] has fallen to a critical level of -230
[00:06:15] cm, which makes further cooling of the reactor technically
[00:06:19] impossible. Let me remind you, the first power unit was stopped back in
[00:06:22] late July. All attempts by the authorities to save the situation, including
[00:06:26] emergency deepening of the river bed, failed. The shutdown of
[00:06:29] the nuclear power plant could deprive Romania of a fifth of all national
[00:06:33] electricity generation.
[00:06:35] The heat in Europe is turning from a weather anomaly into a serious economic
[00:06:39] blow. Drought burns harvests, shallow rivers.
[00:06:50] in energy, let's hear the opinion of an expert. The main area
[00:06:54] that suffered is, of course, agriculture.
[00:06:55] as a result of this
[00:06:59] heat, the yield of grain crops decreased by about
[00:07:02] 10%, according to various estimates, in different
[00:07:06] countries it varies, but in France, for example, about a billion
[00:07:09] euros of harvest was lost. This means that the second area that
[00:07:13] suffered the most is transport, because the shallowing
[00:07:16] of rivers led to the fact that, for example, along the Danube,
[00:07:20] transport communication ceased. Now it is unclear when
[00:07:23] it will resume, because we need to wait for the autumn-winter
[00:07:27] rains, and
[00:07:30] it will also take time from the rains until the river
[00:07:33] fills up. In short, for the next six months, the Danube is out
[00:07:37] of order. The same applies to other rivers,
[00:07:41] and... Another affected
[00:07:44] part of the European economy is
[00:07:47] energy, because many power plants are cooled
[00:07:50] by rivers.
[00:07:51] China today on the first
[00:07:58] information channel. A Belarusian ice cream shop recently
[00:08:02] opened in Shanghai. Did the Chinese consumer like the new
[00:08:06] product? How much has the demand for this product in China only
[00:08:09] grown in recent years? Our... The future of Belarus lies in gifted
[00:08:45] youth. The results of prestigious international intellectual competitions
[00:08:48] only confirm this. From the International Mathematical Olympiad,
[00:08:52] our students returned with historical results,
[00:08:55] winning six gold medals in the individual standings. In
[00:08:59] the team standings among 135 universities in the world,
[00:09:02] Belarus is second. This was not
[00:09:06] a surprise. That is, we expected five medals
[00:09:10] in advance. And this... the fact that
[00:09:13] this is a trend
[00:09:16] shows that in previous years we won
[00:09:19] one, two, three gold medals, but this
[00:09:23] time the plan was higher, well, the students are stronger, so this
[00:09:26] is not a surprise, it is the result of systematic work that began 4 years
[00:09:30] ago at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, in our
[00:09:34] department. Mathematics is a rather conservative science, so
[00:09:37] we did not apply any fundamental innovations. The Olympiad is also a sport, so the more... The
[00:09:41] Mathematics Olympiad this year took place in
[00:09:47] Bulgaria, bringing together about 500 participants from 48
[00:09:50] countries of the world.
[00:09:52] The National Children's Center "Zubryonok" opens its doors to the whole world. At
[00:09:56] the invitation of the President of Belarus, children from 10
[00:10:00] countries will come to our country for recreation and recuperation. In just
[00:10:03] a couple of days, they are expecting a delegation from China. Andrey
[00:10:07] Kozlov
[00:10:08] will continue.
[00:11:43] China are expected. We gladly welcome
[00:11:47] guests from far abroad, and, of course, we
[00:11:49] position the brand as
[00:11:53] a system of education, as well as...
[00:13:05] Information Channel.
[00:13:08] Unique talents of Belarusian women. A new exhibition of the Republican project
[00:13:11] of the Belarusian Union of Women, "Her Hands' Work," opened in Minsk. The focus is on
[00:13:15] the work of Tatiana Orekhnovich. She is a leading specialist in the department
[00:13:18] of control and supervision of construction of the State Standard. The responsibility
[00:13:22] is enormous. The work requires strict discipline, but in her free time
[00:13:26] the woman devotes herself entirely to embroidery. The exhibition presents
[00:13:29] her best works. In
[00:14:25] of Belarus.
