[00:03:33] about 600 children we have such in the region, and
[00:03:36] 200 children are guys from rural schools, from specialized
[00:03:39] classes, so we will help them, we need to repeat what you
[00:03:43] did, so you think about how
[00:03:47] to help such people, we will have
[00:03:50] a dozen four-thousanders and one eight-thousander,
[00:03:54] that's not enough for us, if we assign an assistant,
[00:03:57] so we need to think. if an assistant
[00:04:01] sits next to him, a young
[00:04:04] man, I'm sure, in
[00:04:06] a year or two or three, well, in five years, he will definitely
[00:04:10] compete with him, and maybe he will win, so
[00:04:14] this is a request to you, so that you do not refuse, the governor
[00:04:18] will think, from the state there will be support in
[00:04:21] this regard, but you help us

[00:04:52] there is no special secret in the achieved harvest records,
[00:04:55] the awardees will say, you just need to love your work and do it
[00:04:59] well. this is a big deal, when there is support from the side, our
[00:05:03] director supports, you see that
[00:05:06] we work hard, everything is only forward and no stops
[00:05:09] back everything, everything, this is not only on... the president
[00:05:58] noted
[00:06:04] medical assistance to Belarusians injured in the accident in Georgia is provided in
[00:06:08] local hospitals, the Ministry of Health of our country reports, the head of the department.
[00:06:42] as a result of which the minibus drove off the road and fell into
[00:06:45] a gorge. The Belarusian Foreign Ministry today made a
[00:06:48] statement.
[00:06:50] Employees of the Belarusian diplomatic mission in Georgia are at the scene of the incident,
[00:06:54] providing all necessary assistance. The Belarusian Ambassador to Georgia
[00:06:57] Nikolai Rogoshchuk will also join them in the near future.
[00:07:01] The embassy maintains constant contact with the criminal and
[00:07:04] patrol services of the city of Ozurgeti, the management
[00:07:08] of clinics. The Minister for Internally Displaced Persons from Occupied
[00:07:11] Territories, Labor, Health and Social Protection of Georgia, Mikhail
[00:07:15] Sarjveladze, personally visited 11 patients
[00:07:19] of the republican hospital last night. The leadership of the Georgian Foreign Ministry
[00:07:22] and the region of the incident
[00:07:25] are providing the necessary assistance. We are shocked by the tragedy
[00:07:28] that occurred and express our deep condolences to the families
[00:07:31] of the victims, and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.
[00:07:34] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with the Georgian side, will provide all necessary
[00:07:38] assistance in the repatriation of bodies and the return of Belarusian citizens to their homeland.
[00:07:44] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also draws the attention of citizens to the importance of a careful approach to
[00:07:47] choosing tour operators and careful planning of travel
[00:07:51] routes when traveling abroad. Following the incident,
[00:07:54] the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs initiated a criminal case, the driver who was driving the bus
[00:07:58] has been detained, the Belarusian diplomatic mission is clarifying all the circumstances
[00:08:01] of the tragedy. Off the coast of Fethiye in the Turkish
[00:08:05] province of Mugla, a pleasure boat caught fire, there were 115
[00:08:08] tourists on board, there were no casualties, the fire broke out in the kitchen and quickly
[00:08:11] engulfed the boat, people escaped the fire by jumping into the water.
[00:08:25] The coast guard, rescuers, and the crew of nearby ships
[00:08:29] joined the evacuation, two people inhaled smoke and
[00:08:33] were hospitalized, other passengers refused medical assistance, while
[00:08:36] people were being taken to the port, the ship completely burned out and began
[00:08:40] to sink, the cause of the fire has not yet been officially
[00:08:42] established. Another example of unprecedented
[00:08:46] humanitarianism with the direct participation of Belarus. In the Gomel
[00:08:49] region, Russia and Ukraine conducted a new exchange of bodies
[00:08:52] of the deceased. The Russian side handed over 261
[00:08:56] bodies of military personnel, the Ukrainian 24. The Novaya Guta checkpoint
[00:08:59] on the Belarusian-Ukrainian border once again becomes
[00:09:02] a platform for dialogue between the two sides. And our country proves
[00:09:06] its status as an undisputed donor of stability, capable of untangling
[00:09:09] the most hopeless knots of world geopolitics. The humanitarian
[00:09:13] mission is accompanied by a regional delegation of the International Committee
[00:09:16] of the Red Cross in Russia and
[00:09:17] Belarus.
[00:09:20] Poland and Germany are competing for the placement on their territory of the production
[00:09:24] of missiles for American Patriot air defense systems. This was stated by
[00:09:27] the Deputy Minister of National Defense of Poland, adding that Trump had previously
[00:09:31] ruled out the possibility of placing such production in Ukraine.
[00:09:35] Also, according to the official, the European Union is interested in creating on its
[00:09:38] territory at least a service center for Patriot missiles, if
[00:09:42] an agreement on placing production is
[00:09:44] not reached. Sweden has a record shortage of water for
[00:09:48] electricity production, local media report. A large amount
[00:09:52] of rainfall is required to replenish water reserves. As
[00:09:55] a result, electricity prices have risen. In June, they were about
[00:09:59] 150% higher than last summer. Alarm is being raised in
[00:10:03] Bulgaria. In the Danube section, the water level has fallen to a record low of
[00:10:06] 118 cm below zero. Previously, the lowest
[00:10:10] value was considered to be the indicator of 2003 at
[00:10:14] -73 cm.
[00:10:17] Lithuanian customs officers detained a truck near Kaunas
[00:10:20] carrying a batch of smuggled cigarettes from Latvia. The cargo
[00:10:24] is estimated at more than 2 million euros. The driver
[00:10:27] claimed that he was transporting foam plastic, but only the rear part of the semi-trailer
[00:10:30] was loaded with this product. The rest of the space was filled
[00:10:34] with 412,000 packs of cigarettes. Presumably,
[00:10:38] the production of an underground factory operating in Latvia for several years.
[00:10:41] A pre-trial investigation has been initiated. The driver was arrested for 2 months. This is already the second
[00:10:44] case of contraband seizure from Latvia in two weeks. On July
[00:10:48] 30, a car with
[00:10:52] cigarettes worth 2,400 was intercepted in Lithuania.
[00:10:57] Work on identifying vacant houses in Belarus is carried out on a regular
[00:11:01] basis. The lion's share of such buildings is on the balance sheet of agricultural organizations. In
[00:11:05] due time, farms built houses for their workers,
[00:11:08] provided square meters with the obligation to work long and honestly.
[00:11:11] The fate of such houses is different, some
[00:11:14] are demolished, others, those that are in good condition, the farms offer to their
[00:11:18] employees, help people with arrangement and repair.
[00:11:22] Such housing can be sold at auction, including for one
[00:11:25] base unit, this is allowed by presidential decree, so
[00:11:28] how to find an owner for houses in the village? Everything about the housing
[00:11:32] issue in the countryside in the next series of the project "Under the President's Control"
[00:11:36] after Panorama on Belarus 1, and also on our website newsby and
[00:11:39] multimedia portal
[00:11:40] videobuild,
[00:11:46] demolish or leave, when
[00:11:50] ghost houses spoil the appearance of the Belarusian
[00:11:53] village, video? yellow houses, only walls, everything
[00:11:57] was broken out, pulled out, there is
[00:12:00] nothing, how to find new
[00:12:03] owners for vacant housing in the countryside? For a dacha, it would certainly
[00:12:07] be a great option, if there is a person, we will help, we
[00:12:11] will settle, we will make repairs, and how agricultural organizations
[00:12:14] are ready to help their workers celebrate
[00:12:17] a housewarming, they changed the floor, laid laminate,
[00:12:21] stretched ceilings, some girls even chose the wallpaper
[00:12:25] themselves, whatever they wanted, young workers all
[00:12:28] want to live in well-maintained housing, when every
[00:12:32] abandoned house in the countryside is on the pencil, the information
[00:12:35] is immediately sent for taking response measures to local
[00:12:39] authorities, and how Alexander Lukashenko
[00:12:42] advertises houses in the village, for children to
[00:12:46] walk on the ground and for themselves,
[00:12:49] to stomp somewhere, and there's plenty of free space,
[00:12:53] under the president's control. with the support of the Committee
[00:12:56] of State Control, watch today
[00:13:00] in the evening broadcast on Belarus
[00:13:03] 1.
[00:13:05] Today marks exactly 70 years since the Belarusian classic Yakub Kolas
[00:13:09] passed away. On the day of the poet's memory, flowers were laid at the foot of the monument in the military cemetery.
[00:13:13] The flower-laying ceremony brought together not only representatives of the cultural
[00:13:16] sphere, but all admirers of the national poet of the BSSR. Our
[00:13:20] film crew Aleksandra
[00:13:23] joined the day of remembrance. Many people wanted to,
[00:13:55] that 70
[00:14:05] years ago the heart of the national poet
[00:14:09] Yakub Kolas stopped beating,
[00:14:12] today I would like to say that poets
[00:14:16] never die, they always live,
[00:14:19] they live in their works, and if we talk about Yakub
[00:14:23] Kolas, then he is truly... a national poet, he
[00:14:27] embodied in himself all
[00:14:30] the aspirations, all the thoughts,
[00:14:32] all the aspirations of his
[00:14:36] people, and therefore today he is also very
[00:14:39] relevant, because he is the singer of his native
[00:14:42] Belarus, he is the
[00:14:44] person who glorified his native language, his native
[00:14:48] word, and today
[00:14:51] what was created by Yakub Kolas lives.
[00:14:56] Immediately after the ceremony of laying flowers at the monument to
[00:15:00] the Classic, we will go to the memorial museum named
[00:15:03] after Kubakolys, where a memorial concert will be held. The soloists
[00:15:07] of the Belarusian State Philharmonic will recite the classic.
[00:15:11] For now, that's all we have, so colleagues, I'm handing the floor over to
[00:15:15] you. Today we remember the immortal classic
[00:15:19] Yakub Kolas. Alexandra,
