[00:00:00] which was also made in the Brest region adorns the Palace
[00:00:03] of Independence. That's all for now, the results were summarized by Pavel Lazovik
[00:00:07] and Victoria Senkevich. What Belarus's time will be like, we will find
[00:00:10] out next week. See you in the international broadcast.
[00:03:56] News about Gomel leaving the zone of radioactive
[00:04:00] contamination. Here's a little more information on this topic, because the words
[00:04:03] "zone of radioactive contamination" make everyone start worrying, as if it had been there
[00:04:07] for a long time. Well, you need to understand that from
[00:04:10] the very beginning of the disaster,
[00:04:13] 3,679 settlements fell
[00:04:16] into the category of contamination as a result of the Chernobyl accident,
[00:04:20] and Gomel at the very first stage already
[00:04:24] entered this list. All this
[00:04:26] time, from the moment the first list was created in
[00:04:30] 1992 until now, the city of Gomel
[00:04:33] was on this list. Only in
[00:04:37] 2021- 2025
[00:04:39] was there a time when it
[00:04:43] could leave, and in order for this decision to be
[00:04:46] made, certain work was carried out. What does being in
[00:04:50] a contaminated territory mean? It means that in this
[00:04:53] territory there are certain restrictions. First
[00:04:57] of all, you need to understand that zone 1.5
[00:05:12] in this territory it is necessary to carry out protective
[00:05:16] measures, it is necessary to monitor and control
[00:05:19] radioactive products, which is carried out,
[00:05:22] it is necessary to conduct a survey of the population with the aim of not
[00:05:25] exceeding the dose limit, from the point of view of types
[00:05:29] of activities that have restrictions there, well, for a settlement it is
[00:05:32] not so significant, but in principle, in these territories all
[00:05:36] types of activities are carried out with mandatory control
[00:05:39] of products, well, that is, everything that is grown. It is mandatory,
[00:05:43] moreover,
[00:05:46] yes, from the point of view of product safety, uh,
[00:05:49] that goes to external markets, to domestic
[00:05:52] markets, in industrial scales, this issue has been resolved long ago,
[00:05:55] there is a question with products produced
[00:05:59] by the population, in this part additional measures were and
[00:06:03] are being taken for monitoring
[00:06:06] the products of the population that harvest, whether it be
[00:06:10] milk production, private... subsidiary
[00:06:12] farms, various kinds of crop
[00:06:16] production, the main
[00:06:19] dose-forming contribution is made by, after all, as
[00:06:23] practice has shown, currently, it is forest products, forest
[00:06:26] gifts, this is the question,
[00:06:30] which even being in the zone and being in the zone, this
[00:06:33] is relevant for all residents of the republic, not only the city of Gomel, this
[00:06:37] product needs to be checked. Well, that is, if I picked
[00:06:41] mushrooms near Gomel, about this: Yes, if I picked mushrooms near Gomel,
[00:06:44] by and large, if I ate them myself, and I live somewhere very, very
[00:06:48] far away, it will not affect
[00:06:52] me in any way, but if at the same time I live in a village
[00:06:55] that is next to the forest, I constantly eat these mushrooms, I
[00:06:58] have relatives who are hunters, we also receive additional
[00:07:02] meat products, berries, jam, plus
[00:07:05] also contamination in the
[00:07:07] backyard, which he himself may have
[00:07:10] provoked at one time.
[00:08:12] From the city of Gomel, well, good, we are glad, because
[00:08:16] you are now in a territory where the Chernobyl disaster, all
[00:08:18] these consequences have already
[00:08:22] disappeared naturally, but at the same time we have rules of the game since ninety-
[00:08:26] one, for example, for border zones, the same Khoiniki, the same
[00:08:30] Bragin, Komarin and so on, where until you
[00:08:34] reach some numbers, they will act, well, the criteria
[00:08:37] are by and large for the whole republic, it's just
[00:08:41] that the risks are...
[00:10:12] in terms of quality, Belarusian products are even
[00:10:15] cleaner than in other countries, because our criteria are
[00:10:19] more stringent. And when we talk about leaving the radioactive
[00:10:23] zone, we strive, for example,...
[00:11:25] it was over nature such that our natural background
[00:11:28] is technogenically altered, absolute zero is absent
[00:11:32] even in the Arctic and Antarctic.
[00:12:01] In general, cooperation in the field of emergency situations is one of
[00:12:04] the directions of our country's foreign policy, and the work
[00:12:08] that is being carried out is based on the national interests of our
[00:12:11] country. There are a number of areas in
[00:12:15] which we work. It should be said that
[00:12:19] the main goal is
[00:12:22] the tasks that ensure
[00:12:26] the safety of our population in emergency situations, ensure the protection of the population and
[00:12:29] territories. This function is performed through our
[00:12:33] operational interaction with other countries, with neighboring countries, by
[00:12:37] exchanging operational information about the threat of emergency
[00:12:41] situations. This direction is actively working,
[00:12:44] we have a direct connection with the crisis
[00:12:47] management centers of the ministries of emergency
[00:12:50] situations of other countries, we quickly exchange information,
[00:12:54] and there were such cases when this cooperation significantly
[00:12:57] helped us, for example, we promptly received information about
[00:13:01] the approach of forest fires to the borders
[00:13:04] of our country's territory, we also receive information about
[00:13:08] emergency situations in other countries where our
[00:13:12] citizens have suffered, this is also an important area of cooperation, we
[00:13:16] implement it, further we
[00:13:19] cooperate with the aim of obtaining and
[00:13:22] studying the most important international experience,
[00:13:25] international best practices in the field of emergency response, this
[00:13:29] is also very important, it allows us to develop our
[00:13:32] ministry, our rescue services, it allows us
[00:13:35] to carry out professional training of our employees in those
[00:13:38] areas where it is necessary taking into account
[00:13:42] international experience,
[00:13:44] we also set one of the tasks to participate in those international
[00:13:47] mechanisms that regulate international
[00:13:51] cooperation in emergency situations, prevention, elimination of situations, it is
[00:13:55] important for us to participate in these mechanisms,
[00:13:58] to participate in those formats where decisions are made in this
[00:14:01] area that may affect the Republic
[00:14:04] of Belarus.
[00:14:06] We produce quite good rescue equipment,
[00:14:10] apparatus, gear, we provide quite high-quality educational
[00:14:13] services, we always interact with our friends in these
[00:14:17] areas, offer these opportunities, discuss them, and where
[00:14:20] we are ready to help our colleagues, we are always happy to
[00:14:24] do so. specific projects
[00:14:27] are also being implemented in specific areas,
[00:14:31] it should be said that we quite actively receive this advanced
[00:14:35] experience from our colleagues, we received quite
[00:14:38] a lot of useful information from our colleagues from
[00:14:41] the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, regarding the development of rescue services,
[00:14:45] regarding international response, what we
[00:14:48] talked about, regarding monitoring and forecasting emergency
[00:14:51] situations, we interact well with our...
[00:14:55] colleagues in the Ministry of Emergency Situations of China, we recently received from
[00:14:58] them good information and all the best practices for
[00:15:01] responding to emergency situations using unmanned
[00:15:05] aerial vehicles. In this direction, China has made quite good
[00:15:08] progress, we have studied this experience and are implementing
[00:15:12] it in the development of our services. We gained good
[00:15:16] experience in Azerbaijan in promoting
[00:15:19] life safety rules among the population, among
[00:15:23] young people in particular.
[00:15:25] And recently we studied Hungary's experience in
[00:15:28] regulating radiation safety
[00:15:31] and responding to radiation emergencies.
[00:15:33] If we talk about the international track, I know that his... program
[00:16:38] on this topic, this is quite an important
[00:16:41] direction, we really use all
[00:16:44] opportunities for the restoration and now
[00:16:48] already development of these territories, this cooperation is quite important, we
[00:16:51] have accumulated quite good experience in this area
[00:16:55] and even we shared this
[00:16:58] experience with other countries at their request, the experience
[00:17:01] we have, so this direction
[00:17:05] is developing, we are cooperating and
[00:17:08] will continue cooperation in this
[00:17:09] area.
[00:18:32] on our heels, and with it the time for big calculations, where
[00:18:36] every ear, every grain is under control,
[00:18:39] time, money, machine operators do not miss any fine
[00:18:43] day, they work as a team for a common result. Why
[00:18:46] do you even need good balers, so that you can essentially
[00:18:49] store and harvest fodder well, in rolls they can
[00:18:52] stand for up to 9 months, the Belarusian agro-industrial complex needs almost
[00:18:56] 300 such machines per year, starting next year,
[00:18:58] they promise to collect 50. On the front line
[00:19:01] the names of the harvest heroes light up, in Brest new lights of
[00:19:05] import substitution, so as not to lose
[00:19:08] and people, the direct tasks that are set for the plant, to modernize faster
[00:19:12] and increase the degree of localization, simpler, more of our own,
[00:19:16] we need to decide what we will do
[00:19:19] ourselves and we will develop this production in this light bulb,
[00:19:23] what will we do? 4 billion dollars just on milk, this is the amount
[00:19:27] of exports of our products last year, and this is not
[00:19:30] the limit. What we produce in Belarus, first of all
[00:19:33] you, this is not enough, the demand is colossal.
[00:19:37] Topics in the main broadcast, watch on Belarus24 TV channel.
[00:20:57] You are watching the news about the development of events, I will tell you.
