[00:01:00] We continue the live broadcast on the first information in the studio Dmitry Labeiko and briefly about the
[00:01:03] main news. On guard of sovereignty and peaceful skies.
[00:01:07] Belarus celebrates the Day of the Air Force.
[00:01:10] Sale of Argentina. Amilea's land reform provoked
[00:01:14] massive street fights in Buenos and jumps from a hundred-meter tower,
[00:01:17] Endura races, kayaking, diving into the largest raised bog in the
[00:01:21] country. Belarus has become a center of attraction for extreme sports fans
[00:01:25] from all over the world.
[00:01:28] Military aviators, all those who help planes and helicopters take off into
[00:01:31] the sky, celebrate their professional holiday today: the Day of the
[00:01:35] Air Force. The President congratulated the personnel and veterans of the Air Force
[00:01:38] on the holiday. The history of
[00:01:41] national aviation is many pages about the valor,
[00:01:44] courage, and resilience of heroes during the Great Patriotic War, in the skies of
[00:01:48] Afghanistan and other hot spots, as well as during the liquidation of the consequences of the
[00:01:52] Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident. Sacredly preserving the victorious
[00:01:56] traditions of veterans, the aviation of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus
[00:01:59] today continues to dynamically develop, mastering new
[00:02:02] technologies and experience in using aviation equipment in conditions of
[00:02:06] modern conflicts. The basis of this significant branch of the armed forces
[00:02:10] remains people dedicated to their work, highly qualified specialists from
[00:02:14] ordinary soldiers to generals, who every day through their persistent work
[00:02:17] increase the power of Belarusian military aviation,"
[00:02:20] the head of state noted. In a
[00:02:23] century, the Air Force has come a long way from piston to
[00:02:26] jet aviation. Even at the beginning of the 20th century,
[00:02:30] aviation units were stationed in Grodno, Lida, and Brest. The
[00:02:34] Great Patriotic War became a real test for military aviators.
[00:02:37] Today, Belarusian aviation is a technically equipped, highly intellectual
[00:02:41] branch of the armed forces.
[00:02:44] Polesie is a special region for the president, and his attitude towards people is also special.
[00:02:48] The day before, the head of state visited the unique international festival of
[00:02:51] ethnocultural traditions "Call of Polesie". Alexander Lukashenka
[00:02:55] always noted the talents and hard work of southerners. Thanks to them, over the past
[00:02:59] decades,
[00:04:30] factories have been modernized, new enterprises have been created, and people should have
[00:04:34] decent work and wages.
[00:04:37] The Ninth Call of Polesie resonated in the hearts of 50,000
[00:04:40] guests. The festival of ethnocultural traditions covered 9 hectares of the
[00:04:44] Pripyatsky National Park, and there was plenty of space to let loose, sing, play,
[00:04:47] find a dragon and even learn
[00:04:50] how to weave bast shoes. Those who were not indifferent to history came from Vitebsk, Nesvizh,
[00:04:54] Soligorsk, even Moscow and Kursk, the living heritage of Polesie in a
[00:04:57] twelve-hour marathon. Lidia
[00:05:00] Blotskaya will continue, despite the number of
[00:05:03] people, the Call of Polesie always greets us so
[00:05:07] wonderfully, so warmly, so sincerely,
[00:05:10] and I am proud that I can, I have the
[00:05:14] opportunity to visit this holiday. Why did you decide to come to the
[00:05:17] festival? Well, because we generally
[00:05:20] came to see the animals, it just so happened, but it's very
[00:05:24] cool, we're walking around. Do you feel that Polesie is coming alive here? Yes, we went everywhere here. There is probably
[00:05:28] sincerity, simplicity. Families
[00:05:31] unhurriedly walked along the picturesque bank of Lyaskovichi,
[00:05:35] admired the self-woven tapestries woven by
[00:05:37] spiders, but manual labor and
[00:05:41] legend captivated them more.
[00:06:12] It's decided without questions, the same way with
[00:06:16] bast shoes, if you are passionate about them, if you
[00:06:20] are passionate about them, then it's a matter of life, thank our
[00:06:23] president, he raised this topic,
[00:06:26] we were heard,
[00:06:30] we are seen not only in
[00:06:34] our regions, but we
[00:06:37] go out to the people, and the song flowed like that
[00:06:40] Pripyat.
[00:06:47] Poleshchuk does not need any background music, and it's so clear,
[00:06:50] multi-voiced, to the envy of artificial intelligence, their grandmothers
[00:06:54] sang like that and exactly the same motives, well, mostly about love, about
[00:06:58] betrayal
[00:07:00] rarely, but it happens in folk
[00:07:04] songs, that's how we teach young people
[00:07:07] about our village life, an open
[00:07:10] life, with an open soul, so that everyone perceives it, so that they love each
[00:07:14] other, respect each other. They were warmly welcomed at
[00:07:17] the Polissian farmsteads of the Gomel region. Women took the lead,
[00:07:21] the fates of famous ladies who once
[00:07:24] shaped the destiny of the Polissian region literally came
[00:07:27] to life. We are talking about giving a piece of Petrikov
[00:07:31] to our wonderful Geronim Khotkevich. This is a very important
[00:07:35] story in the life of probably every Belarusian to know their history,
[00:07:38] their city, their district and generally, their native
[00:07:42] country. Good afternoon, good afternoon. Hanna Skuraneva is the one from
[00:07:44] people in the swamp, who
[00:07:48] wrote, oh, Ivan Pavlovich Melich wrote about us,
[00:07:50] where is my Vasil, Vasil, in Khoiniki
[00:07:54] the hottest, the most persistent, the most
[00:07:57] cheerful, the most mischievous girls of our Khoiniki
[00:08:01] district. What do you sing or dance here? We sing
[00:08:04] Ivan Pavlovich Melich's favorite song, I will not
[00:08:08] shoe the horse, because I am not your wife, I
[00:08:12] will not shoe the horse, because I am not your
[00:08:15] 9 hectares, such an area was covered by the ninth
[00:08:19] festival of ethnocultural traditions, they played batleyka,
[00:08:22] shared culinary traditions, showed authentic rituals,
[00:08:26] the ethno-marathon, in which one could get closer to the magic of
[00:08:29] Polesie, lasted until dusk. Lidia Zablotskaya, Alexey
[00:08:33] Sosnovsky, Alexander Moguchy, first
[00:08:35] information.
[00:08:38] The working schedule of the first, this week the pool worked everywhere, in the
[00:08:41] palace. near Minsk in the Gomel region, even managed to make it to the Polessian
[00:08:45] Fest, the main topics, what else do successful Belarusian farmers need, how
[00:08:49] is our harvest going, to wait with children or to have children, how
[00:08:52] to encourage Belarusian women to choose the second option, all this and not only the backstage of
[00:08:56] the official part was collected by my colleagues in the section "Time of the First", watch it
[00:09:00] today on the main broadcast on Belarus
[00:09:02] 1.
[00:09:08] Week of the First,
[00:09:11] business trips to the south.
[00:09:14] How to be optimal in agriculture? Tell the
[00:09:17] truth, as you think, and how much time does the head of
[00:09:20] state give for work on
[00:09:22] mistakes?
[00:09:26] State and family affairs. It would seem,
[00:09:29] well, have children. Still, what will happen to
[00:09:32] payments? This new measure will affect almost
[00:09:36] half of potential
[00:09:37] women.
[00:09:40] In parallel with the harvesting campaign.
[00:10:18] The damage from the oil spill in the Ormuz Strait is estimated at 2-3
[00:10:22] trillion dollars, a report published by the Iranian
[00:10:25] attacks on the tanker Minoan Pioneer on August 3 led
[00:10:29] to contamination of a total area of 1,500
[00:10:32] square kilometers in the area of the Iranian island of Qeshm. A black toxic
[00:10:36] film covered not only the water, but also the shore, and such incidents,
[00:10:39] albeit on a smaller scale, occur in Ormuz almost daily. At the same time, the
[00:10:43] cleaning of marine waters from oil pollution is not carried out.
[00:10:47] Iran calls on the international community to pay priority attention to this
[00:10:50] problem, as an ecological catastrophe in the region
[00:10:54] may have.
[00:10:57] Land reform in Argentina has provoked widespread
[00:11:00] protests. President Milei is trying to push through Congress
[00:11:03] a law lifting all restrictions on transactions with
[00:11:06] agricultural land. Argentine pastures and fields will not simply be available for
[00:11:10] foreigners to buy. Transnational corporations will enter the local
[00:11:13] land market. Milei made a
[00:11:16] special invitation to Israeli investors, which further
[00:11:19] angered opponents of the reform. The streets of Buenos Aires
[00:11:22] day after day are turning into battlefields where the police are not
[00:11:26] shy about using special equipment.
[00:11:47] Milei's reforms, which he started 2 years ago, have so far led only
[00:11:50] to macroeconomic recovery, the statistics of
[00:11:53] public finances look...
[00:12:27] Some regions of Germany may lose their entire harvest due to drought, the German Farmers' Association announced.
[00:12:31] In particular, this refers to the south of Germany, where
[00:12:35] this year, all sugar beet and potato crops were completely destroyed
[00:12:38] by heat and lack of water. A large part of the soybean,
[00:12:42] rapeseed, corn, and wheat harvest is also at risk,
[00:12:46] and this will lead to farmers having to reduce their livestock.
[00:12:49] Farmers are asking the authorities for help, but the government has no spare
[00:12:53] money, if the речь. There are
[00:12:55] 8,5100
[00:13:00] tons of grain, Belarusian farmers have crossed a new harvesting
[00:13:03] milestone. 90% of grain and legume crops
[00:13:07] have been harvested, including rapeseed, excluding corn. Another
[00:13:10] millionaire region on Gomel region's account, 1.17
[00:13:14] tons of bread. Minsk farmers harvested
[00:13:16] 2,177 tons. Brest
[00:13:19] - 623. Grodno
[00:13:21] - 597. A total of 70.
[00:13:25] 5,7500 tons. Mogilev region is short of a million,
[00:13:29] Vitebsk contributed 712,000
[00:13:31] 712.000
[00:13:34] tons to the common loaf. The main bread festival of Belarus took place. Once a
[00:13:38] year, Svislach becomes a magnet for professionals, baking enthusiasts, and
[00:13:41] those who don't mind tasting baked goods. Here,
[00:13:44] for the fifth time, the Karavay-fest, Batkovo bulka, a holiday that
[00:13:48] grew out of the people's love for a simple braid, took place. The program included a
[00:13:51] 150-kilogram karavay, a tractor show, an exhibition, the
[00:13:55] Batkovshchina competition, excursions, master classes, and dozens of
[00:13:58] venues. For the first time, the festival received national
[00:14:01] status. The karavay really became the main hero of the day, but entertainment
[00:14:05] could be found for every taste. Guests could take an excursion
[00:14:09] route from grain to bread, try their hand at master classes
[00:14:12] on baking, watch a tractor, bulka, show and even play
[00:14:16] football on a specially equipped field. And Uzbek guests treated
[00:14:20] everyone to real pilaf. The queue for the braided bread, which 5 years
[00:14:23] ago was called the taste of childhood, did not melt until evening,
[00:14:27] where did you come from? There is a city Mikhailovsk, not far from the city of
[00:14:31] Stavropol, this is from the Stavropol bread and salt region, that's where we came from
[00:14:34] and timed our arrival specifically for this
[00:14:37] "Batkovo bulka", because we heard so much about it,
[00:14:41] and we really wanted to visit the holiday, and the holiday
[00:14:44] begins with master classes, you see, yes, we braided pigtails,
[00:14:47] made a bun, a very good, wonderful
[00:14:50] holiday,
[00:14:53] compared to.
[00:15:25] I tried the bun itself, of course, and not just in one
[00:15:28] shop, it's very tasty, I bought some to take away,
[00:15:32] yes, so everything is very good, wonderful, and for people
[00:15:36] it's a very wonderful rest. It was created,
[00:15:39] all this was intertwined into that very braid: traditions, warmth, hard work and love for
[00:15:43] bread. For 5 years, the festival has grown to become an event of national, and
[00:15:47] in essence, international scale. The holiday ended with a gala concert featuring
[00:15:51] famous Belarusian and Russian performers. Today at
[00:15:54] 9:00 PM, TV channel Belarus 3 will show the TV version of the concert
[00:15:58] "Batkovo bulka, smachno i gulka".

[00:16:05] or Enduro races, diving into... the depths of the largest raised bog
[00:16:09] in Belarus, as well as rafting on SUPs or
[00:16:11] kayaks. This type of recreation is preferred by those who like to test
[00:16:15] themselves for strength and are in search of new extreme
[00:16:18] sensations. And our country has everything necessary for this. Moreover, guests
[00:16:22] from near and far abroad come to Belarus for adrenaline.
[00:16:25] We were looking for 100-meter jumps
[00:16:29] near Moscow, we wanted exactly 100 meters, my boyfriend will jump
[00:16:32] again there. And there were no 100 meters, it was everywhere
