[00:08:12] The picture of the day will be completed by my colleagues.
[00:08:16] The President, heroes of the harvest and cars for hard work, the head of
[00:08:19] state was in the fields today next to those who produce the harvest for
[00:08:23] the country.
[00:08:25] Four Belarusians died, 15 were injured as a result of a bus
[00:08:29] falling into a gorge in Georgia. Our Ministry of Health monitors the condition of
[00:08:33] the victims, the Ministry will provide all necessary assistance
[00:08:35] to the victims and relatives of the deceased.
[00:08:39] Why the idea of Ukrainian production turned out to be
[00:08:42] detached from reality and how the closed club
[00:08:45] of Pentagon secrets owners works, details in Mendeleev's
[00:08:48] table.
[00:08:52] Women's health is a strategic priority of the state. Belarus
[00:08:55] has achieved high indicators in early diagnosis
[00:08:58] of oncological diseases. Only last year, 190,000
[00:09:02] Belarusian women underwent early diagnosis of breast cancer.
[00:09:05] How the system of combating oncological diseases is built in our
[00:09:08] country. Further in the material.
[00:09:11] Preparation. at school now at the polygraph combine, here for the new
[00:09:15] academic year, almost 2 million
[00:09:18] copies of textbooks in hardcover will be produced, about how
[00:09:21] the basic knowledge system is created, as well as the cost of
[00:09:25] a complete set, very soon we will tell in our
[00:09:28] material.
[00:09:31] The President's gratitude to the leading agricultural workers,
[00:09:35] Alexander Lukashenko visited the fields of the Minsk region today to
[00:09:38] personally acknowledge the work of those who are breaking records in harvesting
[00:09:41] the crop. Such a shock team is in the Minsk
[00:09:45] region and today the brigade worked in the Zdanovich agro-combine.
[00:09:48] The President, like no one else, understands how much effort needs to be made to
[00:09:52] harvest the grain on time without losses. Hard work and
[00:09:55] dedication at the harvest will always be appreciated.
[00:09:58] Today, Alexander Lukashenko presented each of the heroes of the harvest with a
[00:10:02] car. A short break for the celebration was made
[00:10:05] right in the field in the morning. The harvesting campaign in the country is in full
[00:10:09] swing, the republican result: more than 7 have been harvested.
[00:10:27] Golden sea of wheat, sun and wind, work in the fields is now
[00:10:30] in full swing from dawn to dusk. In the Minsk region, the operational headquarters
[00:10:34] of the regional executive committee closely monitors how the harvest is going,
[00:10:37] daily monitoring where to push harder, where to transfer
[00:10:41] equipment and labor to help. As a result, they are approaching
[00:10:44] the finish of the harvest, and the result is already better than
[00:10:48] last year's. In principle, each year is unique,
[00:10:51] but I would like to note the determination.
[00:11:55] but the enterprise has enough land. Alexander Lukashenko will remind with peasant
[00:11:58] frugality that every hectare of agricultural land must
[00:12:02] be used for crops. Plots for residential construction
[00:12:06] are better to look for in Minsk. Agrarians always support
[00:12:09] each other, that's the general line, but it will be said:
[00:12:12] selectivity, perhaps, will not hurt. We subsidize
[00:12:16] everywhere, we subsidize from the budget, so we need to think seriously
[00:12:20] in agriculture, this
[00:12:22] must be done per liter for...
[00:12:55] this is to help the manual agriculture at the Zdanovichi agro-combine,
[00:12:58] a unit from the Kletsk farm Kuchitsy arrived to help, they are moving along the grain field briskly.
[00:13:02] Combine operator Pavel Shutyla already in early August, was the first in Belarus to harvest
[00:13:05] 4,000 tons of grain. Records are being set on the Gomel
[00:13:09] machine, there are already 5,000 tons, partners are not lagging behind,
[00:13:13] high indicators for Vitaliy Kishko, who works on harvesting
[00:13:16] the crop, Piondrey Alexeychik, who organizes the entire process and
[00:13:20] they say, is worth three agronomists, well...
[00:13:23] who
[00:13:34] I'll see the governor, how he harvests, and how your harvest
[00:13:38] is going there in Kuchitsy in the south, I'll fly
[00:13:42] there, well, I think, I'll start from
[00:13:44] you, you deserved it, thank you
[00:13:48] very much, how much have you threshed to date,
[00:13:51] 5.68, the weather is just the best for the harvest.
[00:13:55] I say, a breeze, sun, and cool,
[00:13:58] the main thing is that it's not hot, because +40, like or
[00:14:02] 33, there was a time when such a result, as
[00:14:06] Shutyla showed today, was achieved by two dozen people, not one,
[00:14:10] however, the equipment then was inferior in power and quality,
[00:14:14] in due time the president did not allow the production of domestic
[00:14:17] combines to be ruined, despite the skeptics who insisted that we should
[00:14:21] buy everything, he said, we must have our own, we need our own.
[00:19:19] the governor, if something is needed, or the leader, let
[00:19:23] him say, the moment of celebration is worth remembering,
[00:19:26] such working days next to the first agrarians will definitely
[00:19:30] be remembered for a lifetime,
[00:20:37] the fact that the grain must be harvested on time without losses, therefore they always work
[00:20:41] for the maximum result. The President will leave
[00:20:44] and before returning to the harvest, the heroes of the harvest will appreciate the gift,
[00:20:48] the present is a good help for the whole family and it seems,
[00:20:52] pleasant news for
[00:21:03] a short break, and then back to the fields, but for
[00:21:06] every true worker in Belarus, such a moment
[00:21:10] of glory is always possible, behind which are many
[00:21:13] months and years of honest work, sleepless nights and great
[00:21:17] efforts, but which are always appreciated.
[00:21:20] Natalia Breus, Olga Anishchenko, Sergey Matveychuk and Alexander Oleshko,
[00:21:23] first informational.
[00:22:14] The second fatal tragedy in less than 3 weeks. At the end
[00:22:18] of July in Batumi, as a result of an accident. Two citizens of our
[00:22:21] country died, another 12 then received injuries of varying
[00:22:25] severity, and now the story repeats itself: the night before
[00:22:28] in the area of the village of Gomis Mta, a minibus with tourists fell
[00:22:32] into a gorge, as a result, four Belarusians died, 15 of our
[00:22:36] citizens were injured. All the victims, of whom six
[00:22:40] are children, have been distributed to clinics and remain under the supervision
[00:22:43] of doctors, 11 people are in Batumi, another four patients
[00:22:47] are in hospitals in Azurgeti and Chekhotaouri.
[00:22:50] Two are in serious but stable condition. Five
[00:22:54] admitted are adults, six are children, of these six children, the condition
[00:22:58] of one was initially serious, the child was diagnosed with an epidural
[00:23:01] brain hemorrhage, in connection with which he was urgently admitted to the intensive care
[00:23:05] unit. Now his condition is being monitored
[00:23:08] dynamically, fortunately no surgical intervention
[00:23:11] was required, today the condition of all patients remains
[00:23:14] stable, none of them have vital
[00:23:18] parameter abnormalities. The head of the Ministry of Health of our country,
[00:23:21] Alexander Khodzhaev, is in constant contact with his Georgian
[00:23:25] colleague. The Minister of Health of Georgia, Mikheil
[00:23:28] Serjviladze, personally visited the wounded in clinics in Batumi and
[00:23:31] Chekhotaouri, in turn, the Ambassador of Belarus to Georgia, Nikolai Argashchuk, together
[00:23:35] with the consul, continue to coordinate work on the ground, as stated by the
[00:23:39] Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the department will provide all necessary assistance
[00:23:42] to the victims and relatives of the deceased. We
[00:23:45] are shocked by the tragedy and express our deepest
[00:23:48] condolences.
[00:24:10] approach to choosing tour operators, careful planning of travel routes when traveling abroad. The Ministry of Internal Affairs
[00:24:13] of Georgia initiated a criminal case based on the incident. The driver
[00:24:17] who was driving the bus has been detained.
[00:24:27] Today, an exchange of civilians took place between Russia and
[00:24:31] Ukraine. Belarus, at the same time, fulfilled its humanitarian
[00:24:34] mission, acting as a platform for the exchange. Eight
[00:24:37] people went to Russia, seven to Ukraine.
[00:24:40] The humanitarian exchange took place at the Novaya Guta checkpoint on the Belarusian-
[00:25:50] Belarus once again proves its status as a donor of stability,
[00:25:53] the humanitarian mission is accompanied by a regional delegation of the International
[00:25:57] Committee of the Red Cross in Russia and
[00:25:59] Belarus. The Czech Republic, following Poland,
[00:26:03] is closing its doors to Ukrainian men trying to escape
[00:26:07] mobilization. Following Brussels' decision, Prague
[00:26:10] introduced new rules on August 5 that deprive
[00:26:13] Ukrainian men liable for military service of the right to stay in the country. In
[00:26:17] the first week of the restrictions, the Czech Interior Ministry denied
[00:26:20] temporary protection to dozens of men. From now on,
[00:26:24] without confirmation of fulfilling military duty in Ukraine,
[00:26:27] it is impossible to legalize in the Czech Republic. At the same time, the deprivation
[00:26:30] of protection status opens a direct path to forced
[00:26:34] deportation of draft dodgers to their homeland directly into the clutches
[00:26:37] of the TCC. As for Poland, Ukrainians are fleeing
[00:26:41] it themselves, only in its number in the country has decreased
[00:26:45] by more than 6,300 people, this is the largest decrease
[00:26:49] among EU countries. And here, thanks must be given to
[00:26:52] the authorities, who first used refugees for
[00:26:55] PR, and now systematically cut social
[00:26:58] benefits, cancel benefits and tighten laws. However,
[00:27:02] local residents also help in this process. The number
[00:27:05] of cases of violence against Ukrainians on the basis of national
[00:27:08] hatred and everyday xenophobia in Poland, compared to last year,
[00:27:12] increased by approximately 30%. In
[00:27:15] the first half of the year, 180 reports
[00:27:19] of similar crimes were registered.
[00:27:21] Poland and Germany entered into fierce competition for the right to deploy
[00:27:25] the production of American Patriot air defense system missiles on their
[00:27:28] territory. The struggle for American technologies intensified after
[00:27:32] ... expressed doubts about the advisability of issuing
[00:27:35] Kyiv a license for its own missile production. The White
[00:27:39] House continues to study this issue, but European allies
[00:27:42] have already joined the race for the right to become a key European
[00:27:46] defense hub. Details in the author's column Mendeleev's Table.
[00:28:04] Why the idea of Ukrainian Patriot production turned out to be
[00:28:08] detached from reality and how the closed club
[00:28:11] of Pentagon secrets owners works?
[00:28:14] Let's consider all political elements and put them in their places.
[00:28:18] This is Mendeleev's table and let's figure it out
[00:28:21] together. At the end of July, Zelensky once again
[00:28:24] raised the stakes in the information war, announcing a breakthrough
[00:28:28] agreement with Trump. Allegedly, Kyiv will still receive
[00:28:31] a license for ... the production of American interceptor missiles for the Patriot
[00:28:35] air defense system. The news went viral, but the dry
[00:28:38] residue of international analytics and sharp statements from
[00:28:41] Washington quickly brought this story down to
[00:28:45] earth. As the British Telegraph notes, Kyiv's
[00:28:48] hopes were dashed by Washington's desire to protect
[00:28:52] its secret technologies. This is not
[00:28:55] just about the blueprints of the missile body, but about the key
[00:28:58] element - the active radar homing head.
[00:29:01] PAC-3 production by the Boeing
[00:29:04] Corporation. This radar is the eyes and ears of the interceptor. It
[00:29:08] is it that calculates the trajectory of a ballistic
[00:29:12] or supersonic target in the last seconds of flight,
[00:29:15] guiding the missile to a direct protects this technology with
[00:29:19] religious awe. To
[00:29:22] date, there are only two countries in the world that have received a license for
[00:29:25] partial Patriot production. Germany received
[00:29:29] it 4 years ago, but has not yet produced a single
[00:29:32] missile. To do this, it is necessary to find and license about two dozen
[00:29:36] suppliers involved in various stages of the production
[00:29:40] process. And Japan received a license in
[00:29:43] 2005. Tokyo produces 30 missiles a
[00:29:47] year. In the United States itself, there is an acute shortage
[00:29:50] of components and raw materials, which for many years have not allowed the Pentagon
[00:29:54] to scale
[00:29:55] production.
[00:29:58] With the growing number of global conflicts, the demand for rare earth
[00:30:01] metals increases. But the supply deficit also increases. Ultimately,
[00:30:05] replenishing these stockpiles and increasing production
[00:30:09] within the deadlines required to meet defense needs and comply
[00:30:12] with requirements is a complex task. We are making enormous efforts and
[00:30:16] working on tight deadlines to ramp up
[00:30:18] production. While Kyiv dreams of its own
[00:30:22] factories, a systemic crisis is escalating on the European continent.
[00:30:26] According to Politico, European countries are massively
[00:30:29] refusing to transfer air defense systems to Ukraine.
[00:30:33] Kyiv is desperately trying to replenish air defense stockpiles, but
[00:30:36] the arsenals of so-called partners are depleted to
[00:30:40] a critical level. Internal division against this backdrop
[00:30:43] is escalating every day. Kyiv
[00:30:46] needs hundreds of interceptors, but new production will start too
[00:30:50] late. The war with Iran has depleted American supplies, and several
[00:30:54] leading European sponsors of Ukraine say they have few
[00:30:57] such devices left that they could safely donate.
[00:31:01] Germany, which has long been a donor of air defense to
[00:31:05] Ukraine, officially announced that Berlin has reached the minimum
[00:31:08] level of its own stockpiles. The Center
[00:31:11] for Strategic and International Studies in Washington
[00:31:15] audited Pentagon stockpiles and came to
[00:31:18] disappointing conclusions: in American arsenals there were
[00:31:21] about eight hundred anti-missiles for Patriot
[00:31:24] systems. Donald Trump very clearly
[00:31:27] responded to Zelensky's request for the supply of 300
[00:31:30] interceptors.
[00:31:33] But we also want missiles. Biden gave him $300 billion
[00:31:36] worth of ammunition, when I left office, the warehouses were
[00:31:40] full, and he gave away most of it. Now we are replenishing
[00:31:44] stockpiles. The newspaper Rzeczpospolita reports
[00:31:47] that production of such a scale could become
[00:31:50] an easy target. The Polish publication emphasizes that all these
[00:31:54] loud statements are nothing more than an attempt by Kyiv to wish
[00:31:57] fulfilment before a difficult winter. The situation with
[00:32:01] air defense is critical, stockpiles are melting, and the White House directly
[00:32:05] refuses emergency supplies. And as
[00:32:08] for the license, promising is not
[00:32:11] marrying.
[00:32:19] A scandal erupted in Lithuania, which undermines trust in
[00:32:23] the institution of the Catholic Church. The country's Prosecutor General's Office
[00:32:27] sent to court the cases of two clergymen who
[00:32:30] for decades unpunished destroyed
[00:32:33] the lives of children. The main defendant is accused under
[00:32:36] thirty-four criminal articles.
[00:32:39] The victims of the pervert were 11 minors aged
[00:32:43] 12 to 18 years old. The second accused has already pleaded guilty to possessing
[00:32:46] child pornography. Both defendants have been suspended from service, but
[00:32:50] the cynicism of the situation is striking, because these crimes
[00:32:54] were ignored for years, despite incoming signals,
[00:32:58] society is angry. People demand not just a harsh sentence
[00:33:01] for perverts in robes, but also a complete overhaul of church
[00:33:05] institutions, which, in their opinion, for years covered up
[00:33:09] pedophiles.
[00:33:11] Europe is on the verge of a large-scale energy crisis due to
[00:33:15] extreme drought. In Romania, today the second
[00:33:18] last reactor of the Cernavodă NPP was shut down. The decision was
[00:33:22] made due to the record low water level in the Danube. The authorities have already
[00:33:25] declared an energy state of emergency, as the country's only
[00:33:29] nuclear power plant, which covered about 20% of Romania's
[00:33:32] needs, will be idle for at least 10 days.
[00:33:36] The situation is not much better in neighboring Hungary, the Paks NPP
[00:33:39] reduced its output to 10% to
[00:33:42] save the plant. To prevent a complete shutdown, Budapest began
[00:33:45] building a stone threshold at the bottom of the Danube and prepared
[00:33:49] two 80-meter barges for
[00:33:52] controlled flooding to artificially raise
[00:33:55] the water level. Meanwhile, in France, the preliminary damage from
[00:33:59] the record heat has already been estimated at a colossal 10-15
[00:34:02] billion euros. Due to the prolonged heat, not only
[00:34:05] energy, but also agriculture and infrastructure
[00:34:08] throughout the country were affected. Let's
[00:34:11] listen to how the situation is assessed by experts,
[00:34:15] in the harshest possible way, this is probably not over yet,
[00:34:18] it is expected that a fifth heat wave will begin,
[00:34:22] temperatures around 40 and above 40, simply drying out, not
[00:34:25] enough water, simply nothing
[00:34:29] to cool the secondary circuit,
[00:34:32] accordingly exactly the same reason, this is what happened
[00:34:36] this year for the first time in 44 years of operation
[00:34:40] at the Paks nuclear power plant in Hungary, this is what
[00:34:43] is happening now in...
[00:34:55] a separate channel, they tried to blow up some rock to increase
[00:34:59] the water flow, they put barges with stones to make the water
[00:35:01] wrap around it, but the decline
[00:35:04] continues, nothing can be done about it, on
[00:35:07] the experimental energy exchanges, prices have doubled and
[00:35:11] this is probably not the limit, everyone who is around France
[00:35:15] is at risk, France, yes, due to the weather
[00:35:18] it lost 20% of its nuclear
[00:35:21] generation.
[00:35:27] The Belarusian real estate market is adapting to new
[00:35:31] conditions. In recent days, the main news for those who have long wanted
[00:35:35] to acquire their own square meters is a loan
[00:35:38] for buying housing from Belarusbank at
[00:35:41] 1% per annum. As a result, the excitement among Belarusians for
[00:35:48] new housing exceeded all expectations. How will the situation in the real estate market change and what to expect
[00:35:51] for potential buyers, the answers are from Anastasia
[00:35:53] Strelkovskaya,
[00:35:57] many videos on this topic have been released on social networks in the last week,
[00:36:01] every day different opinions and reactions
[00:36:04] appear on the Internet, one
[00:36:07] is surprised by the amount of overpayments on the loan, the second calculates
[00:36:11] his family budget and still hopes to acquire
[00:36:15] his own corner, and the third predicts
[00:36:18] what the Belarusian real estate market's response will be to such
[00:36:22] an unprecedented phenomenon, but first things first: a loan at
[00:36:26] 1% per annum. For some, it's a chance to get closer to a cherished and perhaps
[00:36:30] long-desired dream: a kind of window of opportunity for
[00:36:34] Belarusians and for the economy as a whole, because construction is
[00:36:37] an industry that makes a significant contribution to the country's
[00:36:40] GDP. In addition, it pulls related areas,
[00:36:44] because an apartment needs finishing and furniture, and this is the stability
[00:36:47] of our enterprises. This means that the higher the demand for
[00:36:50] square meters, the more new ones will be built, and therefore the volumes
[00:36:54] of other products will grow, so comfort.
[00:36:57] A loan is an important step, but you can only count on it if
[00:37:01] the apartment is in a new building, the minimum rate for the first 2
[00:37:05] years, then it's already the market rate of 15.4. The loan
[00:37:09] is issued for 20 years, the first days
[00:37:12] of launching this product, in principle,
[00:37:15] showed a fairly high interest
[00:37:18] from our citizens in this product,
[00:37:22] from the number of partners we have today, as of today, eight
[00:37:25] partners. you can see on our website that
[00:37:29] they have already joined these conditions, but I would like
[00:37:32] to note that every day, almost every day in
[00:37:35] the near future, the list of partners who
[00:37:38] are ready to issue under such conditions will
[00:37:41] expand. The loan program extends to both
[00:37:45] the capital and some regional new buildings
[00:37:48] of partner companies. The maximum loan amount
[00:37:51] is unlimited, but it depends on the cost of the apartment, the amount
[00:37:54] of own funds, and income. And yes, you can get it
[00:37:58] without guarantors, but before you sign, it is important to realistically
[00:38:02] assess your capabilities. In the wake of this hype, in the wake
[00:38:06] of this excitement, many people turn off logic, common
[00:38:09] sense, and a simple cold calculation, here,
[00:38:13] of course, you need to approach this in a balanced and calm manner and not succumb to
[00:38:17] this excitement, because after all, this is a deal, this
[00:38:20] is a serious credit obligation, in case of non-
[00:38:23] fulfillment, the law allows the bank, among other things,
[00:38:26] to seize the apartment for which a person took out a loan and sell it at
[00:38:29] auction, relocating the person to less comfortable housing, so no one would
[00:38:33] want such a development of the situation. By the way, early
[00:38:37] repayment of the principal debt is allowed at any time, without
[00:38:40] penalties. This means that, free money appears
[00:38:43] you can immediately transfer it and thereby avoid overpayment at a
[00:38:47] high rate after 24 months
[00:38:50] of the grace period. It turns out that this
[00:38:53] loan allows, due to this grace
[00:38:56] period, on the principal debt, to solve the issues with
[00:38:59] secondary housing, possibly, during this, let's say,
[00:39:03] preferential interest rate period of the preferential interest rate,
[00:39:07] sell your secondary apartment, rent for the period of construction of a new
[00:39:11] house for a year or two, and thus pay for a new building and solve your
[00:39:15] housing problem with the involvement of both
[00:39:18] a credit product and by purchasing a new building, and not an apartment on the secondary
[00:39:22] market. Experts differ in their assumptions about what future
[00:39:25] awaits the real estate market. Some are sure that no significant
[00:39:29] changes are foreseen, others believe that the secondary market
[00:39:32] will go into the shadows for a short time, but one thing is clear: at first,
[00:39:36] interest will definitely be in favor of new housing.
[00:39:40] Anastasia Strelkovskaya and Nikolay Lashkevich, first
[00:39:43] informational. Women's health is the health
[00:39:46] of the nation. In Belarus, there is a state program of several types
[00:39:50] of screening, including breast cancer and cervical
[00:39:53] cancer. The effect on a national scale is quite tangible, only in
[00:39:56] the past year.

[00:40:11] diseases, material by Anastasia

[00:40:17] Women's health is a strategic priority of the state, special
[00:40:21] attention to the fight against oncology. Belarus
[00:40:23] has achieved high results in early diagnosis of oncological diseases.
[00:40:41] Annually, about 65
[00:40:44] complex operations are performed here, including organ transplantation. From March 15
[00:40:48] of this year, beds for medical rehabilitation were opened at our
[00:40:51] institution for women of the Gomel region.
[00:40:55] This is the Polesye region, and
[00:40:58] also part of the regions that suffered
[00:41:01] from the Chernobyl accident, women undergo early and late rehabilitation
[00:41:05] after complex treatment
[00:41:08] for diseases of the mammary gland
[00:41:11] and genitourinary system. An important stage is
[00:41:13] rehabilitation. After severe oncological diseases, the path to
[00:41:17] recovery can take years, and here the emphasis is on
[00:41:20] a comprehensive approach, from swimming in the pool to finger
[00:41:23] gymnastics. It helps in rehabilitation. after a complex operation,
[00:42:10] well, the most important thing is to pull yourself together and
[00:42:13] it's just that everything has

[00:42:21] rehabilitation has already passed more than two weeks,
[00:42:24] I managed very well
[00:42:27] to get away from this
[00:42:30] lymphedema, massage helped
[00:42:33] me very well, well, and all this physical education,
[00:42:36] the state does not just finance treatment, but...
[00:45:05] knowledge within the framework of the school curriculum, young Belarusians are introduced to the enterprise
[00:45:09] that proudly bears the name of the great singer, for the new
[00:45:12] academic year, the polygraph combine named after Yakub Kolas will publish
[00:45:16] almost 2 million copies of textbooks in hardcover.
[00:45:19] In total, 28 editions have been prepared for the new
[00:45:23] season. Polina Beresneva looked into a real
[00:45:27] workshop of knowledge. And did you know that the very first textbooks in
[00:45:31] the republic were created gray, rough, they could quickly
[00:45:34] tear, there were few illustrations, and they didn't know anything about
[00:45:38] QR codes at all.
[00:45:40] Modern editions for schoolchildren are filled with
[00:45:44] bright pictures, graphs, QR codes, including
[00:45:47] tables, and also pages filled with facts
[00:45:51] about modern Belarus. The polygraph combine
[00:45:54] named after Yakub Kolas covers the main volume of school
[00:45:56] book publishing in the country, with an emphasis on strength, safety and quality.
[00:46:00] Before a textbook gets into the hands of a student, it goes through a strict
[00:46:04] technological cycle. The technological process
[00:46:07] of printing a book begins with the preparation of
[00:46:11] materials for the printing machine - primarily
[00:46:14] paper. The paper
[00:46:16] is floated,
[00:46:18] cut to the desired format, fed to the printing
[00:46:22] machine, the printing machine loads
[00:46:25] the sheets and the printing process takes place,
[00:46:28] the quality of printing is controlled,
[00:46:30] the registration of colors must
[00:46:33] correspond to the density of
[00:46:36] printing,
[00:46:40] elements then the product goes to
[00:46:43] folding, the sheet
[00:46:45] is folded, on folding machines
[00:46:49] it goes to the binding shop, then there is already collection,
[00:46:53] stitching, gluing of the endpaper, here the system
[00:46:56] is maximally automated, the computer itself controls the color matching
[00:46:59] of colors, signals defects, in an eight-hour shift
[00:47:02] about 66,000 sheets are printed here.
[00:47:05] 66.000
[00:47:07] The total number of textbooks
[00:47:13] in hardcover by September 1 will be 2 million copies, including
[00:47:16] about 300,000 in softcover. For visually impaired children, almost
[00:47:20] 500 will be printed in Braille, and more than
[00:47:24] 700,000 notebooks have also been produced and shipped to retail chains,
[00:47:27] the same number of diaries and more than 45,000 drawing
[00:47:30] albums. I will note that the polygraph combine is the only one in the country
[00:47:34] where paper and stationery are published in an integral binding. The physical
[00:47:37] quantity is definite, it is said in such an
[00:47:41] understandable angle so that children do not
[00:47:44] open textbooks and it is understandable to them, it was
[00:47:48] understandable and accessible to them, as... our head of state
[00:47:51] said, we need to teach children so that it is
[00:47:55] understandable, so that children can understand everything they
[00:47:59] learn. On September 1, one new textbook
[00:48:03] on the basics of life safety for the fourth grade was prepared and
[00:48:06] 27 were reissued. In physics and chemistry, real-life
[00:48:10] problems and projects were added, in geography fresh statistics, in computer science the topic
[00:48:14] of artificial intelligence. The main change was the integration of
[00:48:18] national context into all subjects, into problems.
[00:48:21] examples, information about culture, history, IT products and brands of
[00:48:24] sovereign Belarus are included. The question of cost for parents
[00:48:28] is traditionally under state control, the fee size is calculated based
[00:48:31] on the basic value. As of January 1 of this year, it
[00:48:35] is 45 rubles. So for students
[00:48:37] of grades 1-11, the cost of a full set of textbooks
[00:48:41] is 22.5 rubles. For children from
[00:48:44] large families, a 50% discount is provided
[00:48:47] and the cost is 11 rubles. 25 kopecks. for
[00:48:51] preschoolers - this is 9 rubles. Also, the right to
[00:48:54] free use of textbooks is available to orphans,
[00:48:58] those who are left without parental care, as well as
[00:49:01] students with special needs. Hundreds of tons of fresh polygraphy are
[00:49:05] a reliable foundation for the upcoming school year. Belarus enters
[00:49:08] the new academic season fully prepared with understandable textbooks, equal
[00:49:11] opportunities and a clear focus on quality education for every
