[00:00:40] Good morning, Belarus.
[00:01:27] News continues the informational broadcast on the first channel.
[00:02:00] with Belarusian tourists got into an accident and, as reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country,
[00:02:04] four citizens of Belarus died, another 15 people,
[00:02:07] six of whom were children, received injuries of varying
[00:02:10] severity. The tourists were heading from the resort village of
[00:02:14] Gomismta to the city of Ozurgeti. According to preliminary
[00:02:17] information, the driver lost control of the vehicle on a turn and fell into
[00:02:20] a gorge. A mobilized police crew, ambulance
[00:02:24] brigades, and a rescue operation are continuing at the scene. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of
[00:02:27] Georgia has opened a criminal case. The Belarusian diplomatic
[00:02:31] mission is clarifying the circumstances of the tragedy, and
[00:02:34] a Belarusian consul has traveled to Batumi to provide all-round assistance
[00:02:37] to the victims, as well as their relatives and
[00:02:39] loved ones.
[00:02:46] Iran and the US have agreed to extend the truce within the framework of
[00:02:49] the memorandum that was agreed upon in Islamabad. The validity of this document
[00:02:53] was expiring on August 17, although both sides
[00:02:56] announced their refusal to comply with the memorandum back in mid-June.
[00:03:00] The United States, meanwhile, is still torn between the desire for a
[00:03:04] convincing military victory and the impossibility of introducing large-scale military
[00:03:07] actions. On the one hand, all American embassies in the Middle East
[00:03:11] are recommended to reduce personnel to the maximum
[00:03:14] extent possible. Diplomats are being sent home. This could mean
[00:03:17] preparation for a big war. On the other hand, by September 30,
[00:03:21] the US intends to withdraw its last soldiers from Iraq. This
[00:03:25] country will no longer be able to serve as a springboard for the states in the conflict
[00:03:29] with Iran. The main problem of the Pentagon today is the shortage of
[00:03:32] arsenals. According to leaks from the sidelines of this department, the Americans simply
[00:03:36] have nothing to wage a serious long war with, which generally dooms
[00:03:39] Washington to forced
[00:03:41] peacefulness. The German newspaper Zeit made a
[00:03:45] sensational statement, the German special services admit that
[00:03:48] the recent incident at Leptik Airport, where a drone attacked a military
[00:03:52] cargo plane, could have been an operation of Ukrainian intelligence.
[00:03:55] Let me remind you, last week a drone with explosives rammed a Ukrainian
[00:03:59] plane, which, according to some data, was loaded with shells for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
[00:04:03] The suspicion of the special services was caused by the fact that the drone operators
[00:04:07] seemingly did everything so that the UAV would not explode, but at
[00:04:10] the same time it was noticed and neutralized. The
[00:04:13] Germans already have experience with Ukrainian
[00:04:16] false-flag operations, for example, the undermining of the Nord Stream pipelines,
[00:04:19] which they tried to pass off as a Russian sabotage operation.
[00:04:22] The suspicion of the Germans is strengthened by the circumstance that traces of
[00:04:26] DNA were found on the drone in Leipzig. Its owner, according to some...
[00:06:15] Lunch is tasty, good. Grain receiving points and bread product combines work around the clock.
[00:06:19] Klimovichi daily receives up to a hundred vehicles, which is over
[00:06:22] 3,000 tons of new
[00:06:24] harvest grain.
[00:06:27] Schools and gymnasiums have entered the final stretch of preparation for the new
[00:06:30] academic year. As of today, 95% of educational
[00:06:33] institutions have received readiness passports. To create
[00:06:36] comfortable conditions, technological equipment was purchased,
[00:06:40] food blocks and sanitary
[00:06:42] facilities were put in order, roofs and building facades were updated, as well as coverings on stadiums. In total,
[00:06:46] about 110 million rubles were allocated for the preparation of schools and gymnasiums,
[00:06:50] including funds for repair work. Secondary school number
[00:06:53] 81 in Tofrunidinsky district is being fully
[00:06:56] modernized. In addition, within the framework of major repairs, the building of the primary school gymnasium
[00:06:59] number 5 of Partizansky district and
[00:07:03] also a completely modernized inter-school stadium of secondary schools
[00:07:06] number 207 and 215 in Moskovsky district of Minsk will be put into operation. If we talk
[00:07:10] about current repairs, then for these purposes, traditionally, a very
[00:07:14] large financing
[00:07:17] is also allocated. At the acceptance of educational institutions,
[00:07:20] the district commission, sanitary services, Ministry of Emergency Situations and Ministry of Internal Affairs
[00:07:24] check compliance with safety standards of buildings and adjacent
[00:07:27] territories.
[00:07:29] A house in the village is a dream for many, and this dream can easily
[00:07:32] come true, because for 5 years now decree number
[00:07:35] 116 has been in force in Belarus, which allows to purchase empty houses for only
[00:07:39] one basic unit, with each year this offer
[00:07:43] becomes more popular, so last year more than one and a half thousand
[00:07:46] people acquired their own housing. About
[00:07:50] how to buy a house in the village, Margarita
[00:07:53] Iuzovich will tell. Greetings, colleagues, in Belarus, the purchase of
[00:07:56] empty real estate is gaining popularity. If
[00:08:00] no one has lived in the house for more than 3 years and it is recognized as unsuitable,
[00:08:04] a special commission of the local district executive committee conducts an inspection and makes
[00:08:07] a decision on demolition, after previously searching for potential
[00:08:10] heirs. Those buildings that are still suitable for living fall into a single
[00:08:14] register and are put up for auction, so, for example, only in
[00:08:17] the Minsk region since the beginning of this year, 220
[00:08:21] houses were sold, the price is symbolic, one basic unit, analyzing those
[00:08:25] figures that we have today in the single register of empty houses, most
[00:08:29] of all, well, with a small margin, we have houses sold in
[00:08:32] the Grodno region, well, there they are sold more specifically for one
[00:08:35] basic, uh, in second place we have the Minsk region, but in
[00:08:39] the Minsk region here we are like leaders in sales of
[00:08:43] houses from auctions, that is, this territory attracts more people, accordingly, the demand
[00:08:46] is greater, well, for a specific house, as a rule, several
[00:08:49] interested parties, and in order to decide who to sell this house to,
[00:08:53] auctions are held for sale. Demand and interest in empty houses are shown not only by local
[00:08:57] residents, but also by Minsk residents and even citizens of Russia. So, since January
[00:09:00] 1st of this year, more than a thousand houses have been sold, someone makes
[00:09:04] tourist facilities out of them, someone just enjoys
[00:09:07] real Belarusian nature at home. That's all for me, colleagues, and I hand
[00:09:11] over the floor to you. Thank you, Margarita Iuzievich, for how to
[00:09:14] buy your house away from the city
[00:09:17] bustle. The work on identifying empty houses in
[00:09:21] Belarus is carried out on a regular basis, the lion's share of such
[00:09:24] buildings are on the balance sheet of agricultural organizations. In due time,
[00:09:27] the farms built houses for their workers, gave square meters
[00:09:30] under the obligation to work long and honestly. The fate of such
[00:09:34] houses is different, some have to be demolished, others that are in
[00:09:37] good condition, the farm offers to its employees, helps
[00:09:41] people with arrangement. and repair, how to find
[00:09:44] a owner for a house in the village, what housing the employer offers
[00:09:48] to people and what help from the farms can
[00:09:51] villagers count on? All about the housing issue in the village, see in
[00:09:55] the next series of the project under the control of the president after the panorama on Belarus
[00:09:58] 1, as well as on our website newsby and multimedia portal
[00:10:01] videobuild.
[00:10:07] to demolish or not to leave, when
[00:10:11] ghost houses?
[00:10:55] on the drawing board, information is immediately sent for taking
[00:10:58] response measures to local authorities, and how
[00:11:02] Alexander Lukashenko advertises houses in
[00:11:05] the village, for children to walk on the ground and
[00:11:08] themselves, stomp around somewhere, and
[00:11:12] there are enough free places, under the control of
[00:11:15] the president, with the support of the State Control
[00:11:19] Committee, watch today
[00:11:22] in the evening broadcast on Belarus 1.
[00:11:26] Bus schedule without failures - a task that artificial intelligence
[00:11:29] is now solving. At the United Institute of Informatics Problems of
[00:11:33] the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, a neural network has been developed that compiles
[00:11:37] schedules, taking into account dozens of parameters, such as
[00:11:40] passenger traffic, road jams, weather conditions and even
[00:11:43] time of day. The algorithm analyzes data in real time and
[00:11:47] offers an optimal traffic schedule. For passengers, this
[00:11:50] means predictability, the bus arrives on time, intervals
[00:11:53] of movement.
[00:11:56] so that it is convenient, so that people do not stand long at
[00:11:58] stops, well, on the one hand, on the other hand, so that
[00:12:02] transport is used efficiently, because why do we need an extra electric bus?
[00:12:06] for building these schedules, public
[00:12:09] transport, including electric buses, we can
[00:12:12] use artificial intelligence methods,
[00:12:15] we are currently engaged in such algorithms, these are algorithms
[00:12:19] from nature, they work in such a way that there is
[00:12:23] one schedule, for example, there is another schedule, this
[00:12:27] is mom and dad, then we take part of one schedule, part of another,
[00:12:31] then we get a third schedule, these are descendants, then we cross
[00:12:35] these descendants, well,
[00:12:38] each time we evaluate, then, which of them is better, we choose the best
[00:12:42] one. Another development of the institute is an application
[00:12:46] for recognizing bird voices, it determines the species of the bird by
[00:12:49] a short audio recording and gives the result in seconds. The database
[00:12:53] already includes 16 forest bird species that
[00:12:57] inhabit Belarus.
[00:13:00] Applications have started for the twentieth anniversary international youth
[00:13:03] theater forum Martcontact. Over two decades,

[00:13:10] but also from abroad. Traditionally, it is held at the Mogilev Regional
[00:13:14] Drama Theater. To participate in the festival, you need to fill out an application,
[00:13:17] which can be found on the forum's website. The application must be sent to the organizers'
[00:13:21] email address by October 31st.
[00:13:25] Novogrudok is again preparing to host guests at the festival of folk
[00:13:28] crafts Vytinanka Vybyvanka. For three
[00:13:32] days, the small tourist town will host Belarusians from different parts of

[00:20:19] About notable things in economics and business in the area of interest on
[00:20:22] the first. Olga Anishchenko is with you. Hello, today in
[00:20:25] the program. A new picture of airline routes for
[00:20:29] a Belarusian company, how geopolitics affects the aviation industry.
