[00:01:02] The USA continues to train soldiers of the AFU, and Alena Harnasko reached
[00:01:06] three finals at the World Championships in Germany. We continue the live broadcast on
[00:01:10] the first news channel.
[00:01:13] The republican loaf is gaining weight every day. Any day now it
[00:01:16] will weigh 8 million tons. For every hard work of our farmers,
[00:01:20] those who in these hot days of harvest are in the fields from dawn
[00:01:24] till dusk. The progress of the harvest is under the close attention of Alexander Lukashenko.
[00:01:27] The President has always highly valued the work of rural residents. The day before, the head
[00:01:30] of state came to the fields of the Minsk region to see how
[00:01:34] the harvest was going and personally thank the leaders of the harvest. All of them
[00:01:38] are employees of the Kuchitsy farm of the Kletsk region, these days they help harvest
[00:01:41] crops from the fields of the Zhdanovichi agro-industrial complex. This is Pavel
[00:01:45] Shutilo, he was the first in Belarus to thresh 4,000 tons of grain, now
[00:01:48] he has crossed the 5,000 mark. Vitaly
[00:01:52] Kishko achieved high results. He works on harvesting crops, and Andrey
[00:01:55] Alekseychik, a responsible specialist for organizing the harvest.
[00:01:59] President.
[00:02:30] 4.0 and above, but we had four thousand last year,
[00:02:33] this year, yes, this year, yes, we understand
[00:02:37] that there may be more of them, and with them - the school
[00:02:40] of young combine operators-Kolosok, these are guys who
[00:02:43] study, receive secondary specialized education,
[00:02:47] specialized, about 600 such children we have in
[00:02:50] the region, and 200 children - these are guys from rural
[00:02:53] schools from specialized classes, we will pull them up, we need
[00:02:56] to repeat what you did, so... you
[00:03:00] think how to help such
[00:03:03] people, we will have a dozen four-thousand-tonners,
[00:03:07] one eight-thousand-tonner, this is not enough for us,
[00:03:10] if we attach an assistant, so we need
[00:03:14] to think, if a young
[00:03:17] assistant person
[00:03:19] sits next to him, I am sure that in
[00:03:21] one, two, three, well, five years, he will definitely
[00:03:25] compete with him, and maybe win, so
[00:03:29] this is a request. to you, so that you do not push back, the governor
[00:03:33] will think, from the side of the state there will be support and help
[00:03:36] in this regard, but you help us create
[00:03:40] such a reserve of young people.
[00:03:44] The President did not come empty-handed, for excellent work,
[00:03:47] each received a car as a gift. Alexander Lukashenko thanked the farmers
[00:03:51] for the harvest, it is through their efforts that Belarusians are always fed, but for
[00:03:54] the celebration there is only a small break, work in the fields does not wait.
[00:03:58] Especially since the weather favors the harvest. The President noted.
[00:04:00] The US Central Command
[00:04:04] announced the creation of the first multinational unit
[00:04:07] of strike unmanned systems to perform tasks in the air, on
[00:04:11] the surface of the water and underwater. The Falcon
[00:04:15] Strike task force will include US military personnel and representatives of US partner countries
[00:04:18] in the Middle East. Washington has already invited allies
[00:04:22] to join the initiative, as the US command states, as
[00:04:26] new countries join, the group will become a comprehensive multinational one.
[00:05:00] the nuclear program generally does not get
[00:05:04] to it, everything revolves around Armuz, and the Strait
[00:05:07] of Hormuz is
[00:05:10] a more powerful means than a nuclear bomb, as it turned out - in
[00:05:14] the hands of Iran and thus indirectly
[00:05:17] through its influence on the world
[00:05:21] economy, on
[00:05:25] the formation
[00:05:27] of the energy crisis, Iran
[00:05:30] forces the American
[00:05:33] administration and the emotional president
[00:05:36] of America, forces them to make
[00:05:39] concessions, well, because,
[00:05:43] the most sensitive thing is the price of a gallon of gasoline
[00:05:46] in the States, the most sensitive thing for the political future
[00:05:50] of Trump and his
[00:05:51] team.
[00:05:58] Meanwhile, the United States seeks to reduce dependence on foreign
[00:06:01] suppliers. Trump imposed duties on the import of drones and their
[00:06:04] components, the White House reports. The amount of duties will
[00:06:08] vary depending on the size of the imported devices. Thus,
[00:06:11] the import of UAVs with a maximum take-off weight of over 25
[00:06:14] kg with a thermal imaging function will be subject to a duty of
[00:06:18] 100%. At the same time, the duty on small drones will
[00:06:22] be 25%. Products from the EU, Japan, South
[00:06:26] Korea and a number of other countries will be subject to a preferential duty of
[00:06:29] 15%, the duty on British UAVs will be
[00:06:32] only 10%. As Trump explained, American companies
[00:06:36] produce an insufficient number of drones, and the United States has become too
[00:06:40] dependent on their supplies from abroad.
[00:06:44] In France, a cyberattack affected a platform associated with the National
[00:06:47] Public Health Agency. As
[00:06:49] a result, the data of almost 80
[00:06:53] thousand people were affected. Hackers attacked the website designed to
[00:06:57] order information materials distributed as part of
[00:07:00] preventive campaigns. The database contained contact details
[00:07:04] necessary for delivery, email addresses, postal addresses, and
[00:07:07] phone numbers. Medical data was not affected
[00:07:10] by the attack. Let me remind you, earlier in Poland, hackers stole
[00:07:14] data of almost 19 million citizens by hacking the database
[00:07:17] used by medical institutions and clinics. This
[00:07:21] incident, as Polish media note, pointed to the lack
[00:07:24] of proper control over private healthcare systems. They collect extremely
[00:07:28] confidential data, however, there are no such
[00:07:31] rules in the country defining how
[00:07:33] to protect it. The real estate market in Belarus
[00:07:37] is being rebuilt under new conditions. In recent days, the main news for those
[00:07:41] who have long wanted to settle down with their own square meters is
[00:07:44] a loan for housing purchase from Belarusbank at 1%
[00:07:47] per annum. The minimum rate will last for the first 2 years,
[00:07:51] then the rate will be 15.4. The peculiarity of the loan is that
[00:07:55] it will be possible to finance the purchase of housing only in the primary market. Apartments
[00:07:58] exclusively in new buildings.
[00:08:01] The loan is issued for 20 years, the first days
[00:08:05] of launching this product in principle
[00:08:07] showed a sufficiently great interest
[00:08:11] of our citizens in this product.
[00:08:15] Of the number of partners we have today, currently
[00:08:19] eight partners, you can see on our website have already
[00:08:22] joined these conditions, but I would like
[00:08:24] to note that every day, almost every day in
[00:08:28] the near future, the list of partners who
[00:08:31] are ready to issue under such conditions will
[00:08:34] expand. The lending program applies
[00:08:38] to the capital and some regional new buildings of partner companies.
[00:08:44] A new service for tracking the work of mobile shops will be launched in Belarus,
[00:08:47] residents will be able to receive information in real time about the exact
[00:08:51] arrival time of the mobile shop, delays on the way or changes in
[00:08:54] the schedule. For the state, the digital product is an effective tool
[00:08:58] for monitoring the quality of service in rural areas, for business, an opportunity
[00:09:02] to optimize logistics, reduce downtime and so-called empty
[00:09:06] runs. And we plan, it is already stipulated in
[00:09:09] the relevant documentation, that the service will appear
[00:09:12] in 2027,
[00:09:15] for now in the Grodno region, it will naturally undergo approbation there,
[00:09:19] yes, certain conclusions will be made, some amendments for the wind, including
[00:09:23] technical ones, further scaling
[00:09:26] of this service will be ensured throughout the country.
[00:09:29] The project will become part of the large-scale
[00:09:33] Smart City-Region platform. The initiative is aimed at improving
[00:09:37] the quality of mobile trade and creating comfort for
[00:09:40] residents of remote settlements.
[00:09:44] Belarusian-Chinese cooperation with an emphasis on quality and
[00:09:47] results. The outcome of these relations, the worldwide competition, Chinese
[00:09:51] Language Bridge. Every year it unites thousands of connoisseurs of Chinese culture and
[00:09:55] traditions from all over Belarus. So, Ksenia
[00:09:58] Kasperskaya, a graduate of the Belarusian State University of Foreign Languages, won
[00:10:02] the national stage of the international Chinese Language Bridge competition and
[00:10:06] became the best in Belarus. I started actively participating in competitions
[00:10:10] around my third year, and specifically
[00:10:13] last year. I liked it, I thought, I'll prepare for
[00:10:17] a year. I reviewed tasks from previous years, there are many
[00:10:21] of them, more than 2.0, and I contacted a teacher from the Fucci
[00:10:25] Institute of our university, he gave me additional materials,
[00:10:28] in my free time I also read textbooks on history and culture, which
[00:10:32] Chinese children use. Of course, every
[00:10:35] student has their own strengths. In Ksenia's case,
[00:10:38] it is that she is bright, cheerful and
[00:10:41] open, speaks Chinese very fluently and at the same time has
[00:10:45] deep knowledge in the field of Chinese culture, so we
[00:10:48] chose a creative number for her related to speaking, Chinese
[00:10:52] comic dialogues, so-called xiangsheng. and
[00:10:55] tongue twisters, although, of course, there are many other options for
[00:10:59] preparing a creative number, but we chose this
[00:11:02] one. Chinese students come to us, we
[00:11:05] have a joint educational program with two universities, with
[00:11:09] Dalian University of Foreign Languages, when they
[00:11:12] come here to study under the joint educational program linguistic
[00:11:16] education, and Dalian University of Foreign
[00:11:20] Languages, where students studying
[00:11:23] Belarusian come to us
[00:11:26] under the joint educational program modern foreign languages Belarusian and
[00:11:29] Russian, where they learn Belarusian, well, and maintain, respectively,
[00:11:33] Russian at the necessary
[00:11:35] level. Belarus and China are strengthening cooperation
[00:11:39] between universities, an additional impetus, educational
[00:11:42] conferences, forums and festivals, the best representatives receive a bonus,
[00:11:46] the opportunity to go on academic exchange practice. In
[00:11:48] Belarus, the number of groups in kindergartens
[00:11:52] for the youngest children is increasing. At the beginning of the academic year, their number
[00:11:56] will grow to 600 throughout the country, now there are about
[00:11:59] 500 such groups, they will work not only in short-term
[00:12:03] stay mode, but also a full day up to 12 hours. The goal is
[00:12:06] to create conditions for mothers to go to work and start their professional
[00:12:10] activities. Educators are specially trained to work with children
[00:12:13] under 2 years old, a safe environment is created for them and
[00:12:17] suitable materials are selected. The Ministry of Education has already
[00:12:20] developed methodological recommendations.
[00:12:23] The Conservatory shift is taking place at the Belarusian State
[00:12:27] Academy of Music. The participants of the summer musical and creative project are
[00:12:30] 24 schoolchildren from all regions of the country aged
[00:12:34] from 9 to 13 years old. These are winners of competitions, including from
[00:12:38] the Academy of Music, as well as participants of the youth musical
[00:12:41] bridge project. Our first goal is to show children
[00:12:45] the pleasure of making music, the pleasure of
[00:12:48] playing music. And the second goal, of course, is that
[00:12:52] they understand that playing music is very
[00:12:56] important, prestigious, cool, and it can
[00:12:59] become part of their future life. The guys have
[00:13:02] an exclusive opportunity to study individually with academy teachers,
[00:13:06] visit creative laboratories for composition and rhythm, and also
[00:13:10] master solfeggio, ensembles, and choral singing. Since childhood, I
[00:13:14] loved making noise, playing on pots and pans, in general,
[00:13:17] I loved all kinds of rhythm and music. Well, they sent me to
[00:13:21] drums, I started playing well.
[00:13:25] I started practicing, then they told me that I have talent, I started going to
[00:13:29] all sorts of competitions,
[00:13:31] that's how I got here, well, I'm waiting for new impressions, I want
[00:13:35] to gain a lot of experience and of course play drums better on percussion
[00:13:39] instruments.
[00:13:41] The conservatory shift united guys who play piano,
[00:13:44] cymbals, cello, violin, guitar, flute, percussion
[00:13:48] instruments, for young musicians this is an opportunity not only
[00:13:51] to improve their instrument playing skills, but to feel like a student. The result
[00:13:56] of training in the camp will be a final concert,
[00:13:59] which will take place on August
[00:14:00] 22.
[00:14:03] This is pure discrimination. This is how Olympic champion, head coach
[00:14:07] of the Belarusian national handball team, Yuri Shevtsov, in an exclusive interview for the first
[00:14:10] news channel, spoke about the European Handball Federation's ignoring
[00:14:14] the decisions of the International Olympic Committee and the International
[00:14:17] Handball Federation to admit our national team to international
[00:14:21] competitions. We have already been admitted.
[00:14:25] The People's Committee has already admitted us. The Olympic
[00:14:28] Committee has admitted us, there are problems in Europe, uh-huh, because
[00:14:31] handball, the main part of handball is
[00:14:34] Europe, uh-huh, well, in other, in other sports
[00:14:38] it's, in general, we have the strongest clubs
[00:14:41] in Europe, teams and all other national teams, well,
[00:14:45] there are several countries
[00:14:47] that are against us participating in Europe, yes, in
[00:14:51] Europe, well, Europe is not giving that decision yet.
