[00:00:45] We continue the live broadcast on the first news channel. In the studio is Sergei
[00:00:48] Lopatin. Now, briefly about the main points.
[00:00:52] Confident implementation of sustainable development goals. Belarus is among
[00:00:55] the leaders in this matter. One of the main drivers is
[00:01:01] rising prices at gas stations and utilities.
[00:01:05] US internal political stability is under threat. The conflict
[00:01:08] in the Middle East is hitting ordinary Americans.
[00:01:12] Another victory on the way to the championship in a strong-willed
[00:01:15] style. Arina Sabalenka is in the semifinals of the US
[00:01:19] Open tennis championship.
[00:01:22] A new line of mining equipment and global cooperation with
[00:01:25] one of the largest Russian companies. The day before, at the Palace
[00:01:29] of Independence.
[00:02:30] It turned out to be surprising for me that tires are also of interest,
[00:02:33] Belshina, our production, and
[00:02:37] joint projects for servicing and creating
[00:02:40] new equipment in the Krasnoyarsk Krai. This is
[00:02:43] also an interesting and promising project for us. Well, since
[00:02:47] you are a multi-industry specialist in your
[00:02:50] structure, there are also humanitarian directions,
[00:02:53] and the IT sphere, something we know how to do in Belarus, you also
[00:02:57] know perfectly well what we can do. Therefore, we
[00:03:00] are open for cooperation. BelAZ and Nornickel
[00:03:03] have four years of experience
[00:03:06] working together. The goal is to create serial production of mining
[00:03:09] equipment. Six test underground dump trucks and
[00:03:13] the first load-haul-dump machine are already being tested in
[00:03:16] Norilsk. From work at the sites, Belarusian engineers
[00:03:20] receive feedback and the machines are refined not
[00:03:24] just to international standards, but to a fundamentally new level.
[00:03:27] The parties are confident that the new developments will lead.
[00:03:43] Security Council Alexander Volfovich, the head of state,
[00:03:46] was informed about the progress of verifying the combat readiness of formations and military
[00:03:50] units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs internal troops. In addition, during
[00:03:54] the report, personnel issues in the armed
[00:03:57] forces were discussed. listened to the report of the chairman
[00:04:01] of the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee Anatoly Isachenko, Alexander
[00:04:05] Lukashenka was thoroughly interested in the results
[00:04:07] of the harvesting of grain crops in the Mogilev region. During
[00:04:11] the report, special attention was paid to three farms
[00:04:14] in the region, which are harvesting the last hectares of late crops.
[00:04:18] The head of state paid special attention to the situation with personnel
[00:04:21] and work in this direction. A separate topic
[00:04:25] of the report by the head of the Mogilev region was the preparation for
[00:04:28] the upcoming seminar in Shklov district. It is planned to be held at
[00:04:32] the base of one of the
[00:04:33] district agro-service centers.
[00:04:40] Another round of escalation, after a short respite.
[00:04:43] The Pentagon announced that it had launched massive strikes near
[00:04:46] Kharg Island, near the port of Jask, destroying five
[00:04:49] Iranian oil tankers. In response, Tehran attacked US bases in
[00:04:53] Jordan, Americans had to launch several dozen Patriot
[00:04:57] missiles to repel the attack. According to information. Seksir,
[00:05:00] the targets were maintenance hangars, aircraft preparation
[00:05:04] zones, shelters for fighter jets and their
[00:05:07] deployment sites. Also, Iranian military attacked two
[00:05:10] American ships, and also eight oil tankers in
[00:05:14] the Persian Gulf, which tried to pass through the prohibited zone
[00:05:17] of the Strait of Hormuz. I remind you, over the weekend, the US
[00:05:20] had already opened fire on Iranian tankers, in response to the shelling of
[00:05:24] American warships. Then, Pentagon chief Pete
[00:05:28] Hexet threatened to completely sink the entire fleet of the Islamic
[00:05:31] Republic if Tehran did not stop
[00:05:33] the attacks. Meanwhile, the ongoing
[00:05:37] conflict in the Middle East is costly for ordinary Americans, according to
[00:05:40] The Independent. The war with Iran has led to a sharp increase
[00:05:44] in energy prices. Additional expenses for US citizens for
[00:05:48] energy amount to 100 billion dollars. This amount
[00:05:52] grows by 1 million dollars every 2 minutes.
[00:05:55] Motorists experienced a real shock last weekend, when
[00:05:59] the retail price of gasoline at gas stations across the country confidently
[00:06:02] crossed the mark of 4 dollars per gallon. In parallel,
[00:06:06] prices for diesel fuel are also holding at peak values.
[00:06:10] The publication emphasizes that this rapid rise in prices at
[00:06:13] gas stations and utility payments was the main reason
[00:06:17] for American discontent with Trump's approach to waging war with
[00:06:20] Iran, which is increasingly threatening the internal political
[00:06:23] stability of the United States.
[00:06:27] The US continues another war, this time a trade war with its
[00:06:30] closest neighbor, Canada. The day before, in response to the
[00:06:34] previously imposed 50% tariffs by Trump,
[00:06:37] Ottawa activated reciprocal countermeasures. American goods
[00:06:40] worth more than 50% were affected by the new
[00:06:43] Canadian duties, covering over 600 items for a total
[00:06:47] of 20 billion dollars. However, Trump wouldn't be
[00:06:50] Trump if he didn't raise the stakes again.
[00:06:54] The White House owner signed a number of decrees, including a ban on
[00:06:57] imports from Canada of dairy products, alcohol, and
[00:07:00] motorcycles. In addition, from September 15, the US
[00:07:04] President's administration is introducing additional 50% duties
[00:07:08] on cheeses, steel, aluminum, paper, furniture,
[00:07:11] lamps, and a number of other items. The American leader also
[00:07:14] threatened to completely close the American market to Canadian-made
[00:07:18] aircraft and exclude Canadian goods from
[00:07:21] US government purchases.
[00:07:25] In St. Petersburg, the day before, a unique project was presented:
[00:07:28] "Concert Requiem Every Third". More than 100 Belarusian
[00:07:32] artists took to the stage to honor the memory of the victims and heroes
[00:07:35] of the Great Patriotic War and to speak about the unacceptability
[00:07:39] of the revival of Nazism. The date was chosen not by chance.
[00:07:43] September 8 is the Day of Remembrance for the victims of the siege of Leningrad. Ilona
[00:07:46] Volynets on common history and memory. The siege
[00:07:49] of Leningrad and the tragedy of Belarus are two sides of the same
[00:07:53] coin. During the Great Patriotic War, representatives of both peoples
[00:07:56] fought shoulder to shoulder. The memory of those terrible events
[00:08:00] is preserved at the Piskaryovskoye Cemetery in St. Petersburg. A place
[00:08:03] of mass burial, where thousands lie. Both
[00:08:06] Russians and Belarusians. On the 85th anniversary of the beginning
[00:08:10] of the siege of Leningrad, flowers were laid at the monument. Victory is a common
[00:08:13] achievement, and preserving memory is a sacred
[00:08:16] duty.
[00:08:26] Shoulder to shoulder, our peoples walk in peaceful
[00:08:28] times. The foundation of people's well-being is the economy. This was discussed
[00:08:32] at a meeting between the head of the administration of the President of Belarus and the governor
[00:08:36] of the Leningrad region. Trade turnover has doubled in
[00:08:39] 5 years. Our products here are in abundance.
[00:09:12] today he correctly noted that the region has the same plans
[00:09:16] that the Republic of Belarus once had, apart from the actual
[00:09:20] harvesting of timber intended for logging,
[00:09:23] this is the development of boiler houses using alternative
[00:09:26] or, as we call them in Belarus, local types of fuel, the main
[00:09:29] ones being wood chips and wood pellets. We have a
[00:09:33] very successful program for this, and if this experience can be replicated
[00:09:36] in the Leningrad region, that would be great. After last year's Vinoprom, we
[00:09:40] signed several contracts for the supply
[00:09:42] of equipment, including new equipment, specialized equipment for
[00:09:46] the Leningrad region. We will definitely continue this work. We have a very
[00:09:49] high percentage of completion of the previous two roadmaps. This was
[00:09:53] noted by the presidents of our countries,
[00:09:57] that it is indeed a very highly effective cooperation. On
[00:10:00] a significant date for St. Petersburg, Belarusians brought a unique project,
[00:10:04] the "Concert Requiem Every Third." This is a synthesis
[00:10:07] of a musical performance and a theatrical production with
[00:10:10] elements of documentary cinema. It is based on rare
[00:10:13] photo and video documents related to different periods
[00:10:16] of the war. You know, honestly, when creating the project, we didn't
[00:10:20] expect it to be so in demand. Probably,
[00:10:24] time dictates... of our
[00:10:55] ancestors, the history of our
[00:10:58] countries, and we, as the younger generation, I
[00:11:01] believe that we are obliged to preserve it,
[00:11:05] to remember it, and to pass it on to the growing generation,
[00:11:09] to our children. For any composer, for any author,
[00:11:12] it's a great happiness to write
[00:11:16] works that, well, I won't be afraid
[00:11:19] of this word, and I want to believe and hope
[00:11:22] that they will remain forever, that is, this is that...
[00:11:37] In Belarus, you can find your relative among
[00:11:40] partisans and underground fighters in Belarus. We came to this
[00:11:43] concert so that children would remember, would know what kind of trouble there was
[00:11:46] in our country, what our people went through, what small children and
[00:11:50] old people went through, how many people died, so that we could
[00:11:54] stand here now.
[00:12:06] They were donated to the State Memorial Museum of the Defense
[00:12:10] and Blockade of Leningrad. These books represent not only
[00:12:13] scientific and historical value,
[00:12:16] but are also a crucial tool in preserving
[00:12:19] historical memory and historical truth about
[00:12:22] the Great Patriotic War. A nation that does not
[00:12:26] remember and honor its memory, its history, has no future. The concert
[00:12:29] Requiem "Every Third" is not just a performance; it is
[00:12:33] a reminder of the price of victory and a call to prevent
[00:12:37] the revival of Nazism. And today, as the hall
[00:12:40] falls silent to the sounds of war songs, we once again
[00:12:43] realize that this is our common history, and it
[00:12:46] cannot be forgotten. Ilona Volynets, Mikhail Burnos, First
[00:12:50] Information, St. Petersburg, Russia.
[00:12:53] Belarus is among the leaders in achieving sustainable
[00:12:57] development goals. The level of their implementation is estimated at
[00:12:59] 83%. This was discussed at a thematic forum in
[00:13:03] the capital. Our country consistently implements the UN
[00:13:07] sustainable development agenda until 2030.
[00:13:10] Today, Belarus is in 35th place among
[00:13:13] 169 states. Five sustainable
[00:13:16] development goals have been almost completely fulfilled, including
[00:13:19] the seventh one: affordable and clean energy. Special
[00:13:23] importance in achieving this goal is the implementation of a joint project with Russia
[00:13:27] for the construction of the Belarusian nuclear
[00:13:29] power plant. Its launch significantly diversified
[00:13:32] the fuel and energy balance,
[00:13:35] reduced dependence on imported natural gas,
[00:13:39] and decreased greenhouse gas emissions. Belarus
[00:13:42] is considering prospects for further expansion of nuclear generation. Currently,
[00:13:46] the construction of the third power unit of the Belarusian
[00:13:49] NPP is being considered. Using the example of
[00:13:52] the Republic of Belarus, we are happy to share with the entire
[00:13:56] global nuclear industry our positive agenda, to show the Belarusian NPP as an example
[00:14:00] of bright interaction. We all know perfectly well that during
[00:14:03] the implementation of the BelAES project, more than 50% of the work was
[00:14:07] performed by citizens of the Republic of Belarus, by Belarusian
[00:14:10] enterprises. Now, within the framework of the construction of the third unit, even
[00:14:13] further localization will be deepened. And together with
[00:14:16] the Republic of Belarus, we will begin to bring this positive agenda, this industrial
[00:14:20] cooperation, to third countries. Today,
[00:14:23] the transition to eco-friendly transport is also being stimulated. By 2030,
[00:14:27] Belarus plans to increase the fleet of electric vehicles to
[00:14:29] 300,000. In addition, the network of charging
[00:14:33] stations is actively expanding, and the share of electric public
[00:14:37] transport is also increasing. Discipline and control
[00:14:40] are the foundation on which successful projects are implemented. China
[00:14:44] shares with us experience in fighting corruption, and we
[00:14:47] tell international partners about measures in the field of sustainable
[00:14:51] development. How to improve the quality of control using
[00:14:54] international best practices, details in the new episode
[00:14:57] of the project "On Air China", and also while Chinese influencers are in
[00:15:01] Belarus, we will go to the foot of Mount Tai. Find out why
[00:15:05] this place remains significant for 5,000 years.
[00:15:09] Details watch today on the first information channel in the project
[00:15:13] "On Air China" at 13:20 and
[00:15:15] 19:30.
