[00:00:30] Now, a brief look at the main news.
[00:00:32] A conversation about the features of the harvesting equipment and the harvest.
[00:00:35] The President came to thank the leaders of the harvest at the Zhdanovich
[00:00:39] agro-combine. Survivors are still being searched for in Colombia after
[00:00:43] the devastating earthquake in Pereira. A 94-year-old
[00:00:45] woman was rescued. She spent more than two
[00:00:49] days under the rubble. Arrival time in a smartphone notification. Belarus
[00:00:53] will launch an application to track the work of
[00:00:55] mobile shops.
[00:00:58] The harvesting campaign in the country
[00:01:04] is in full swing. The republican loaf already weighs more than 7 million tons. For the hard work of our farmers, those who are in the fields from dawn to dusk
[00:01:08] these hot days, the president has always highly valued
[00:01:12] the work of rural workers, and today Alexander Lukashenko came to
[00:01:15] the fields of the Minsk region to see how the harvesting is going and personally
[00:01:18] thank the leaders of the harvest. The capital region is
[00:01:22] among the leaders in threshing, having overcome the mark of 2 million tons of
[00:01:25] grain, but the president is convinced that we should not
[00:01:28] stop there. I want to present this
[00:01:31] sheaf to you, which symbolizes 2 million
[00:01:34] tons of grain, with an eye on
[00:01:37] three, with an eye on three, thank you, with gratitude for your
[00:01:41] support, with pride for our common result. The heroes of
[00:01:44] the harvest should be known throughout the country. We will show these
[00:01:48] people. Pavel Shutilo, already at the beginning of August, he was the first in Belarus
[00:01:52] to thresh 4,000 tons of grain, and on a domestic combine
[00:01:55] Gomselmash. Now he has overcome. only a short break, work in the fields does not
[00:02:30] wait, especially since the weather is favorable for harvesting, noted
[00:02:34] the president.
[00:02:35] We are following the incoming information from
[00:02:41] Georgia, where a minibus with Belarusian tourists was involved in a road accident. The Minister
[00:02:45] of Health of our country, Alexander Khadzhaev, is in constant
[00:02:49] direct contact with his counterpart from Georgia, the Ministry of Health reported.
[00:02:53] 15 people, including six children, received injuries of
[00:02:56] varying degrees of severity. Four people were taken to hospitals
[00:03:00] in the cities of Ozurgeti and Chokhatauri, 11 are in the Republican
[00:03:04] Hospital in Batumi, two in intensive care, there is no threat to their lives,
[00:03:07] according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country, four
[00:03:11] Belarusian citizens died. I remind you, the tourists were traveling from the resort
[00:03:14] village of Gomismta to the city of Ozurgeti. According to the police,
[00:03:17] the driver lost control, as a result of which
[00:03:20] the minibus went off the road and fell into a gorge. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia
[00:03:24] opened a criminal case. The driver was detained, the Belarusian
[00:03:27] diplomatic mission. The death toll from the powerful
[00:03:39] earthquake in Colombia has risen to 265 people,
[00:03:43] almost 3,500 were injured, and about
[00:03:46] 500 more are on the list of missing persons. Rescuers and volunteers
[00:03:49] continue to search for survivors. In the city of Pereira, one of the most
[00:03:53] affected, rescuers managed to find a 94-year-old
[00:03:57] woman. She spent more than 48
[00:04:00] hours in the destroyed building. The President of Colombia
[00:04:04] announced that more than 11 thousand homes have been destroyed nationwide.
[00:04:07] The disaster affected a total of more than
[00:04:10] 53,000 residents. A state of emergency has been declared in the
[00:04:14] country, and national mourning has been announced. Lines of
[00:04:17] people wishing to help the victims are forming at blood donation
[00:04:21] centers, and an assessment of the damage
[00:04:23] caused is underway.
[00:04:26] The prolonged drought that has gripped a significant part of Germany has put
[00:04:30] German farms at risk, said the Minister of Agriculture of Germany
[00:04:33] on one of the German television channels. According to him,
[00:04:36] the most difficult situation is developing in livestock farming.
[00:04:39] In some regions, the drought has already led to significant disruptions in
[00:04:43] the supply of fodder. Earlier it was reported that due to the drought in many
[00:04:46] rivers of Saxony, the so-called harbingers of crop failure,
[00:04:50] hunger stones, appeared. According to the Portalactiv,
[00:04:53] the drought has now covered 38% of the territory of
[00:04:57] the EU countries. This figure includes almost
[00:05:00] 15% of arable land and almost the same amount of forests.
[00:05:04] Farmers are forced to use winter fodder stocks several months
[00:05:07] earlier due to dried pastures and damaged
[00:05:11] forage crops, and in France, one of
[00:05:15] the largest corn producers in the EU, the lowest
[00:05:18] harvest since 1980
[00:05:20] is expected. Lithuanian customs officers detained a truck
[00:05:24] near Kaunas transporting a shipment of smuggled cigarettes from Latvia. The cargo
[00:05:27] is estimated at more than 2 million euros. The driver claimed that
[00:05:31] he was transporting foam plastic, but only the rear part of the semi-trailer was loaded with this
[00:05:35] product, the remaining space was filled with 412
[00:05:38] thousand packs of cigarettes. presumably produced by an underground
[00:05:42] factory operating in Latvia for many years. A pre-trial
[00:05:46] investigation has been launched. The driver has been arrested for 2 months. This is already
[00:05:49] the second case of smuggling from Latvia being detained in 2 weeks. On July
[00:05:53] 30, a car with cigarettes worth 2
[00:05:56] million 400,000 euros was intercepted in Lithuania.
[00:05:59] The conflict around the training ground in
[00:06:03] Kapčiamiestis in Lithuania. Protests by the population did not lead to a review
[00:06:07] of the decision on its construction, and the procedure for forced eviction of
[00:06:10] local residents has already been launched. I am not an expert, this
[00:06:14] Kapčiamiestis is probably not the second,
[00:06:18] but another case after these
[00:06:21] high-profile events in Lithuania,
[00:06:25] which break the will of the people. So this is one
[00:06:28] of the examples,
[00:06:30] here, of course, they decided to build
[00:06:34] the tenth training ground, in fact, they are turning
[00:06:37] Lithuania into some kind of country.
[00:06:41] 10-11 km
[00:06:58] from the border with Belarus, not far from
[00:07:01] a strategically important area, the Suwalki corridor,
[00:07:05] they decided that this place would be
[00:07:09] convenient for their, I don't know, military plans, they decided and
[00:07:12] did it, in fact, without paying attention to
[00:07:16] anyone.
[00:07:18] A house in the village is a dream
[00:07:24] for many. In Belarus, a decree has been in force for 5 years, allowing
[00:07:27] to acquire an empty house for just one basic unit, and every year this
[00:07:31] tempting offer becomes more popular. Last year, more than one and a half thousand
[00:07:34] people acquired their own housing in this way.
[00:07:38] How to become the owner of a mansion
[00:07:42] for free will be told by Margarita
[00:07:44] Yuzefovich.
[00:07:46] Greetings, colleagues, in Belarus, the purchase of empty
[00:07:50] real estate is becoming increasingly popular. If no one
[00:07:53] has lived in a house for more than 3 years and it is recognized as unsuitable, a special commission
[00:07:57] of the local executive committee conducts an inspection and makes a decision on
[00:08:00] demolition, having previously searched for potential heirs. Those
[00:08:03] buildings that are still suitable for living are included in a single register and
[00:08:07] put up for auction. For example, only in the Minsk region since
[00:08:11] the beginning of this year, 220 houses were sold, the price
[00:08:14] is symbolic, one basic unit. Analyzing the figures that we
[00:08:18] have today in the unified register of empty houses, most of them,
[00:08:21] with a small margin, are houses sold in the Grodno
[00:08:25] region, well, there they are sold more for one
[00:08:27] basic unit. In second place is the Minsk region, but
[00:08:31] in the Minsk region, here they are leaders in selling houses at
[00:08:35] auctions, that is, this territory attracts more people, respectively, the demand
[00:08:38] is greater, well, for a specific house, as a rule, there are several interested parties, and
[00:08:42] in order to decide who to sell this house to, auctions are held for sales. Demand
[00:08:46] and interest in empty houses are shown not only by local residents, but also by residents of the capital and
[00:08:50] even citizens of Russia. Since January 1 of this year,
[00:08:54] more than a thousand houses have been sold, some turn them into tourist attractions,
[00:08:57] some just enjoy the real Belarusian nature at
[00:09:01] home. That's all I have, colleagues, and I'll hand it over to you.
[00:09:04] Thank you, Margarita Yuzefovich, for telling us how to find a dream home for one
[00:09:07] basic unit. Work on identifying empty houses in
[00:09:11] Belarus is ongoing. The lion's share of such
[00:09:14] buildings are on the balance sheet of agricultural organizations. In their
[00:09:17] time, farms built houses for their workers, providing square meters
[00:09:21] with the obligation to work long and honestly. The fate of such
[00:09:24] houses varies, some have to be demolished, others, those that are in
[00:09:28] good condition, the farms offer to their employees, helping
[00:09:31] people with arrangements and repairs. So, how to find
[00:09:34] an owner for a house in the village, what kind of housing does the employer offer to people
[00:09:38] and what kind of help from farms can rural residents
[00:09:41] count on? All about the housing issue in the countryside, watch in
[00:09:44] the next episode of the "Under the President's Control" project after the Panorama on
[00:09:47] Belarus-1, as well as on our newsby website and the multimedia portal
[00:09:51] videobel.
[00:09:57] It cannot be tolerated when
[00:10:01] ghost houses spoil the appearance of Belarusian
[00:10:04] villages.
[00:10:07] Empty walls, everything broken out and pulled out,
[00:10:10] there is nothing.
[00:10:25] Organizations are ready to help their employees
[00:10:28] celebrate a housewarming. They changed the floor,
[00:10:31] laid laminate, stretched ceilings, some girls even
[00:10:35] chose their own wallpaper, whatever they wanted.
[00:10:37] Young workers all want to live in comfortable
[00:10:41] housing, when every abandoned house in the countryside is
[00:10:45] under scrutiny. Information is immediately sent for response
[00:10:48] measures to local authorities. And as
[00:10:52] Alexander Lukashenko recommends, houses in
[00:10:55] the village for children to walk on the ground and
[00:10:58] stomp around themselves, and
[00:11:02] there is enough free space under the control
[00:11:05] of the president with the support of the State Control
[00:11:08] Committee, watch today in the evening
[00:11:12] broadcast on Belarus 1. In
[00:11:16] Belarus, digital mobile shops will be launched for villages,
[00:11:19] a service is being developed that will inform rural residents about
[00:11:22] the operation of mobile shops, users will receive
[00:11:25] notifications about arrival times, possible delays, new
[00:11:28] routes, and schedule changes. The initiative is aimed
[00:11:32] at improving the quality of trade services and the comfort of residents
[00:11:35] of small and remote settlements. Today
[00:11:39] several options are being considered, this is like
[00:11:42] an application, or it is the sending of
[00:11:46] notifications, messengers. For the state, represented by local
[00:11:49] authorities, this is, of course, an opportunity
[00:11:52] to control the movement of mobile shops.
[00:11:55] This is an opportunity
[00:11:58] to solve the problem of so-called duplicating
[00:12:01] routes so that mobile shops do not
[00:12:04] only go to some tempting places for them,
[00:12:07] so that mobile shops visit the population
[00:12:11] that is in sparsely populated areas,
[00:12:14] where there are literally two or three residents, this is an opportunity
[00:12:17] to optimize the route network. The new
[00:12:21] service will become available to the population of the Grodno region by the end of next
[00:12:35] year. This
[00:12:45] is not so much a gastronomic experiment as a scientific
[00:12:48] demonstration, the main goal is to draw attention to the acute shortage
[00:12:51] of complete protein in the human diet. It affects...
[00:12:55] For people in low-income countries, it's a lack of money for meat, for them
[00:12:59] alternatives are being developed: soy, mushroom protein or insects.
[00:13:02] Crickets contain up to 60% hypoallergenic
[00:13:05] protein, which is easily absorbed. The question concerns not
[00:13:08] only low-income countries, but also quite prosperous ones, where
[00:13:12] the popularity of fast food has led to nutritional
[00:13:14] imbalance. I am not a fan of oriental
[00:13:17] cuisine and not a fan of insects. I love Belarusian cuisine very much and
[00:13:21] am its devoted fan, but we...
[00:13:25] attract the attention of young people, especially the format of the science
[00:13:28] festival, this year we are experimenting, opening a platform called
[00:13:32] the taste of science, here we will not only talk about
[00:13:36] alternative ways of getting protein, but
[00:13:39] also, and most importantly, in an accessible form, we will convey
[00:13:43] information on how to eat properly, how
[00:13:45] important it is to balance your diets, because protein is primarily a
[00:13:49] plastic material, it is a material for immunity, that
[00:13:53] someone eats insects... cervix,
[00:15:04] one of the supporting points of the Gomel system.
[00:15:07] The RNP Center for Radiation Medicine and Human Ecology today is
[00:15:11] a multidisciplinary medical institution, from ophthalmology to
[00:15:14] cardiology. Annually, about 6,500
[00:15:17] complex operations are performed here, including organ
[00:15:20] transplantation. Since March 15 of this year, at the base of
[00:15:24] our.
[00:15:37] The emergency response center is already undergoing early and late rehabilitation
[00:15:40] for women after comprehensive treatment for
[00:15:44] breast and genitourinary system diseases. An important stage
[00:15:47] is rehabilitation. After severe oncological diseases, the path to
[00:15:51] recovery can take years. And here the emphasis is on
[00:15:54] an integrated approach, from swimming to finger
[00:15:57] gymnastics. In rehabilitation, it helps to gradually restore hand
[00:16:01] mobility. We undergo a full course of rehabilitation, it
[00:16:04] lasts. Behind these walls is not just a medical institution, but a part of the state
[00:16:19] strategy, where science, technology, and human
[00:16:23] history are combined, the story of women who received a chance for complete
[00:16:26] recovery, and there are more and more such stories in Belarus. Well,
[00:16:30] I faced breast cancer, this was in
[00:16:34] 2004, the news, of course, was such that it
[00:16:37] shocked me, but my loved ones
[00:16:41] supported me, after a complex operation, well,
[00:16:44] the most important thing is to pull yourself together and
[00:16:48] just, everything has a year later,
[00:16:51] you just have to not look back, the rehabilitation has already been going on for more
[00:16:55] than two weeks, I
[00:16:59] managed to get rid of
[00:17:02] this lymphedema
[00:17:04] well, the massage
[00:17:08] helped me a lot, and all this physical exercise.
[00:17:11] The state not only finances treatment, it builds the entire
[00:17:14] chain. Prevention, free screening, modern diagnostics,
[00:17:18] high-tech treatment and full rehabilitation.
[00:17:22] And statistics confirm that the earlier the disease is detected, the
[00:17:26] higher the chance of survival. Malignant neoplasm is
[00:17:30] such a pathology that manifests
[00:17:33] itself only when it has already, unfortunately, entered
[00:17:36] advanced stages. In the year of Belarusian women, the issue
[00:17:40] of women's health sounds especially loud, everyone has the opportunity
[00:17:44] to undergo examinations and receive help. All conditions have been created for this.
[00:17:48] It is important to remember that early diagnosis saves lives,
[00:17:51] you can take the first step today. Anastasia Rutskaya,

[00:17:57] Information. A bartender sold psychotropic substances. In
[00:18:01] Minsk, an employee of one of the entertainment establishments worked for

[00:18:22] specialist for long. The man first
[00:18:26] found a part-time job as a drug courier on the Internet, and then
[00:18:29] created and administered his own online store for
[00:18:32] selling prohibited substances. It is known that
[00:18:36] the defendant managed to work for only 2 weeks, a criminal case
