[00:01:00] in the first information studio of Dmitriy Labeiko, briefly about the
[00:01:03] main thing. There is an eighth million in the bins.
[00:01:06] Belarusian agrarians harvested 90% of the areas of grain
[00:01:09] and leguminous crops, taking into account rape.
[00:01:12] 281 mass shootings since the beginning of the year. The USA was covered by a wave of mass
[00:01:16] shootings and from piston rifles to supersonic speeds.
[00:01:20] Belarus celebrates the day of the Air
[00:01:22] Force. There are 8,510,000
[00:01:26] tons of grain. Belarusian agrarians have overcome a new harvest milestone.
[00:01:30] 90% of the areas of grain and leguminous crops, including
[00:01:33] rapeseed, excluding corn, have been harvested. Another millionaire region, Gomel region, has
[00:01:37] 1.17 tons of
[00:01:39] bread. In Minsk, agrarians threshed 2,177
[00:01:43] tons, in Brest 1,623 thousand, in Grodno
[00:01:47] 1,597. In total, 75 thousand to
[00:01:51] a million is not enough for Mogilev region. Vitebsk
[00:01:54] brought
[00:01:55] 712.
[00:01:58] Polesie is a special region for...
[00:02:30] the ancestral homeland of the Slavs, this is where our origins lie,
[00:02:33] here on these steep banks of the full-flowing Pripyat
[00:02:37] amidst endless oak groves
[00:02:40] and natural beauty,
[00:02:42] are our
[00:02:45] roots, of a beautiful,
[00:02:47] intelligent and worthy people. Therefore, when making
[00:02:51] the decision to hold the festival in
[00:02:54] 2010, we
[00:02:57] believed that it would become another reason...
[00:03:00] to gather together three fraternal peoples,
[00:03:03] Belarusians, Russians and Ukrainians, and of course, we are glad
[00:03:07] to see here in the common historical homeland all
[00:03:11] Slavs, all without exception, and not
[00:03:14] only them, we are glad that many guests
[00:03:18] come to us. The President presented awards to honored
[00:03:22] Polesians, this is already a tradition to celebrate the contribution of Polesie residents
[00:03:26] to the development of their region and the entire country in a solemn atmosphere. It is noteworthy that the first
[00:05:43] was heard by us.
[00:05:47] We are seen not only in
[00:05:50] our regions, but we
[00:05:53] go out to the people, and the song flowed like that
[00:05:56] Pripyat.
[00:06:03] Polesie residents don't need any phonogram, and it's so pure,
[00:06:07] polyphonic, to the envy of artificial intelligence, that's how their grandmothers sang
[00:06:10] and...
[00:07:42] the ethno-marathon, where one could get closer to the magic of
[00:07:45] Polesie, lasted until dusk. Lidiya Zablodskaya,
[00:07:49] Aleksey Sosnovsky, Aleksandr Moguchiy, first
[00:07:51] informational.
[00:07:54] Osvislych hosted the main bread festival of Belarus. Once a year this
[00:07:57] city becomes a place of attraction for professionals, lovers of
[00:08:01] baking and those who are not averse to taste baked
[00:08:04] goods. Here for the fifth time the Karavay Fest, Batkovka Bulka,
[00:08:08] a holiday that grew out of popular love for a simple braid. In
[00:08:11] the program.
[00:08:14] Karavay, tractor show, exhibition-competition Batkovshchina, excursions,
[00:08:17] master classes and dozens of venues. For the first time the festival
[00:08:20] received republican status. Everything as always
[00:08:23] is perfectly organized. I like that the bar is always
[00:08:27] raised by the organizers. It's
[00:08:29] very good that it's from all over the republic, our
[00:08:32] closest guests, Brest residents and from all
[00:08:35] over our region, everyone tries very hard, you were with us, you saw
[00:08:39] what works of art they make.
[00:08:42] these wonderful masters, they are, well, you
[00:08:45] can't call them artisans, they are artists who
[00:08:49] dedicate, we asked how much went into this pie, the guy
[00:08:52] answers, a month with all weekends, for the first time republican
[00:08:56] status, but we can say that it is slightly international, because I see a delegation from
[00:09:00] Uzbekistan is with you, with the Uzbekistan
[00:09:03] delegation from Namangan region, we can
[00:09:06] consider that it already has international status,
[00:09:09] because the guys presented here already from...
[00:09:12] their point, they make pilaf and they make, since it is a bread festival
[00:09:16] their, bread products, they also have
[00:09:19] traditional flatbreads and many, many other things, so
[00:09:23] my eyes are also wide open, but let it be not only Slavic
[00:09:26] bread. Karavai really became the main hero
[00:09:29] of the day, but entertainment could be found for every taste. Guests could take
[00:09:33] an excursion route from grain to bread, try their hand at
[00:09:36] baking master classes, watch the tractor Bulka show
[00:09:40] and even play football on a specially. The lines for
[00:09:46] the braid, which 5 years ago was called the taste of childhood, did not melt until
[00:09:50] the very evening. Where did you come from? There is a city
[00:09:54] Mikhaylovsk, not far from the city of Stavropol, this is the Stavropol
[00:09:57] hospitable region, that's where we came from and we timed
[00:10:01] our visit specifically for this Batkovka Bulka, because
[00:10:04] we had heard so much about it, and we really wanted to visit the
[00:10:07] festival, and the festival starts with master classes,
[00:10:10] you understand, right, we braided pigtails. We made a bun, a very good,
[00:10:14] wonderful holiday.
[00:10:17] We also came here,
[00:10:20] so
[00:10:23] we are from here, so there. We came from Margoni, we really
[00:10:26] like it, more such holidays, a lot of
[00:10:29] positive, so everyone is happy, there are many
[00:10:33] different exhibitions here, first of all, I liked it very much, the holiday
[00:10:36] is wonderful, a very rich program, many good, beautiful
[00:10:40] locations, food security is also fully
[00:10:43] ensured, so it's a very cool holiday, we're having fun, and
[00:10:46] I think everyone will like it today too, and have you tried the Batkovka Bulka itself,
[00:10:50] of course, and not just in one
[00:10:53] store. We bought it to go,
[00:10:57] yes, so everything is very good, wonderful, and a very wonderful
[00:11:00] vacation is created for people.
[00:11:04] All this intertwined into that very braid: traditions, warmth,
[00:11:07] labor and love for bread. 5 years the festival grew yesterday it became
[00:11:11] an event of republican, and in fact international
[00:11:14] scale. The holiday ended with a gala concert with famous Belarusian and
[00:11:17] Russian performers, today at 9:00 PM the Belarus
[00:11:21] 3 TV channel will broadcast the TV version of the Batkovka Bulka concert. Delicious
[00:11:25] and a needle.
[00:11:27] The working schedule of the first. This week the pool worked everywhere. In
[00:11:31] the palace near Minsk, in Gomel region and even made it to the Polesie
[00:11:35] Fest. Main topics, what else do successful Belarusian farmers need,
[00:11:39] how is our harvest going, wait with children or
[00:11:42] give birth, how to orient Belarusian women to the second option. All this and not
[00:11:45] only, the official part of the culotte was collected by my colleagues in the Time
[00:11:49] of the First section. Watch today in the main broadcast on
[00:11:51] Belarus-1.
[00:11:57] Week of the first. Business trips to the
[00:12:01] south.
[00:12:04] How to be optimal in agriculture? Tell the
[00:12:07] truth, as you think. And how much time does the head of
[00:12:10] state give for working on mistakes. Let's figure it out within 24
[00:12:14] hours. State and
[00:12:17] family affairs. It seemed that, well,
[00:12:20] it's being born. Still, what will happen to payments? This is a new measure
[00:12:24] that will awaken.
[00:12:55] worthy people, well, where else will you see so many interesting things,
[00:12:58] I didn't recognize Lyaskovich, we will show everything during
[00:13:02] the first.
[00:13:08] Two mass shootings occurred in the USA
[00:13:12] in the last few hours at the University of Virginia, a group of unknown
[00:13:15] people opened fire, in which five students were seriously and possibly fatally
[00:13:18] wounded. The criminals have not been apprehended, the police
[00:13:22] operation continues. In the state of Kentucky, they are also looking for a shooter. In
[00:13:26] the city of Lexington, an unknown person opened fire on people who were relaxing in
[00:13:30] the park. One person died, five were wounded. Let me remind you, this
[00:13:33] year, 281 mass shootings
[00:13:36] have already occurred in the USA.
[00:13:39] Bloomberg agency writes: The United States and Iran have fallen into a military
[00:13:42] trap. Their conflict is in a situation from which there is no
[00:13:46] acceptable way out for either side. Everything looks
[00:13:49] as if the war is doomed to become eternal. The way out of it can only be
[00:13:53] severe economic shocks that will make it impossible for one
[00:13:56] country or another to continue waging war. However, the situation
[00:14:00] for the US does not look so unambiguous. Proof of this
[00:14:03] can be the story of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln.
[00:14:07] The ship spent almost a year in the Middle East. Information leaked
[00:14:10] to the media that during this period, 60 suicide attempts were made
[00:14:14] here. Sailors despaired, they are literally starving and
[00:14:17] deprived of the most necessary things. Sailors are not even rotated, although they are
[00:14:21] supposed to be rotated after 3-6 months of service.
[00:14:25] The situation is so dire that under public pressure, Washington
[00:14:28] was forced to recall the aircraft carrier. It is being replaced by the ship
[00:14:32] George Washington, meanwhile, supply and logistics
[00:14:35] remained the same. The failure
[00:14:38] of Washington's operations in the Middle East exposed a number of vulnerabilities in the US
[00:14:42] military sector and demonstrated serious reputational losses not only
[00:14:45] for the states, but for the entire North Atlantic alliance. Expert
[00:14:48] opinion. If you abstract a little from the negotiation
[00:14:52] process itself and look wider, under the focus
[00:14:56] of the entire situation in the Middle East, we see that the US,
[00:14:59] firstly, has suffered very serious reputational losses from the point
[00:15:03] of view of its regional military presence and
[00:15:06] those risks that manifested themselves within the framework of this
[00:15:09] operation, and of course, regional
[00:15:13] players, Middle Eastern monarchies are now
[00:15:16] faced with a choice, whether to maintain this position
[00:15:20] of dependence, the presence of US military
[00:15:22] infrastructure, which with high...
[00:15:37] consequence for the military industry and in general for
[00:15:40] the US armed forces, this is de facto
[00:15:43] declassification of the concept of using aircraft carrier strike
[00:15:47] groups. In this case, we saw that they
[00:15:50] were unable to solve regional
[00:15:54] problems and demonstrated a very high degree of
[00:15:56] vulnerability against combined attacks using
[00:16:00] kamikaze drones, the same long-range anti-ship
[00:16:04] missiles, and this calls into question
[00:16:07] the very existence of effective tools for the US
[00:16:11] to project its global military
[00:16:13] presence.
[00:16:20] Military aviators, all those who help planes and helicopters take to
[00:16:24] the sky, celebrate their professional holiday today, Air
[00:16:27] Force Day. The President congratulated the personnel and veterans
[00:16:30] of the Air Force on the holiday. The history
[00:16:33] of domestic aviation is many pages of valor, courage.
[00:16:49] The aviation of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus today continues to develop
[00:16:52] dynamically, mastering new technologies, the experience of using
[00:16:55] aviation equipment in the conditions of modern
[00:16:57] conflicts. The foundation of foundations of this significant branch of troops
[00:17:01] remains people dedicated to their work, highly qualified specialists from
[00:17:04] private to general, who every day,
[00:17:08] through hard work multiply the power of
[00:17:10] Belarusian military aviation. I am convinced that
[00:17:13] you will continue to be one of the main pillars of our
[00:17:16] army, reliable defenders of a peaceful sky, guarantors
[00:17:19] of the country's security and sovereignty, - the head
[00:17:22] of state noted. Over a century, this type of troops has come a long way from
[00:17:26] piston to jet aviation. Already at the beginning of the 20th century,
[00:17:30] special aviation units were stationed in Grodno, Lida and
[00:17:33] Brest. The Great Patriotic War became a real test for military aviators.
[00:18:08] you also need to have professionally trained personnel, so a very
[00:18:11] important emphasis is placed, among other things, on the training of personnel, both
[00:18:15] flight personnel, engineering and technical personnel, who
[00:18:18] provide, prepare
[00:18:20] equipment.
[00:18:22] Protecting airspace is not only national security, but also
[00:18:26] a factor of strategic deterrence. We will talk about the training and
[00:18:29] work of military aviators today in the main broadcast on
[00:20:29] video.
