[00:00:45] We continue our live broadcast on the first information channel. Now, briefly about
[00:00:48] the main news: dozens of companies, representing
[00:00:51] various sectors, an exhibition of Chinese goods and services at
[00:00:55] the Minsk International Exhibition Center, an iron
[00:00:59] curtain. Following their neighbors in Vilnius,
[00:01:02] they demand to close regular bus routes with Belarus and
[00:01:06] Russia, following the example of Riga.
[00:01:08] Graceful driving skills, special nominations and prizes in
[00:01:12] Minsk, the Queen of Roads was chosen.
[00:01:16] A new line of mining equipment and global cooperation with one
[00:01:19] of the largest Russian companies. The day before, at the Palace
[00:01:23] of Independence, the president received a well-known entrepreneur in business circles,
[00:01:26] Vladimir Potanin. Companies with whom...
[00:03:00] work, the goal is to create serial production of mining equipment,
[00:03:03] six test mine dump trucks and the first
[00:03:06] loading and delivery machine are already being tested in
[00:03:09] Norilsk, from working at the sites, Belarusian engineers receive
[00:03:13] feedback and the machines are being refined, not just to
[00:03:16] international standards, but to a fundamentally new level,
[00:03:19] the parties are confident that new developments will lead to the creation of common
[00:03:23] intellectual property, and long-term plans will determine
[00:03:26] greater maneuverability in the level of investment.
[00:03:30] The combat readiness check of the internal troops continues. The day before, Alexander
[00:03:34] Volfovich and Ivan Kubrakov inspected the training of servicemen and
[00:03:37] mobilized personnel of the seventh separate special police
[00:03:40] brigade. Two checkpoints were deployed on the territory of the unit,
[00:03:44] the mobilized personnel practiced fire, tactical and
[00:03:47] medical training, as well as reconnaissance with UAVs, driving
[00:03:51] quad bikes and motorcycles. During the exercises, the fighters liberated
[00:03:54] hostages in a captured building, detained simulated
[00:03:58] saboteurs and stormed the enemy. Armored personnel carriers,
[00:04:02] special equipment, reconnaissance and
[00:04:05] FPV drones were used in the operations. Internal troops and internal affairs
[00:04:09] bodies are in constant readiness. In our
[00:04:13] country, even in peacetime, the operational
[00:04:16] situation can change several times. Any
[00:04:19] unit, especially internal troops, must instantly
[00:04:23] rise, and be ready to master both
[00:04:26] special means and firearms. As
[00:04:29] for the exercises, as the State Secretary of the Security
[00:04:32] Council said, you really approached
[00:04:36] with due understanding and fulfilled those tasks for
[00:04:39] the defense of our homeland that you were supposed to fulfill. The commanders
[00:04:43] of units, the commanders of companies, worked out the entire complex of measures, from
[00:04:46] setting tasks to, accordingly, managing their
[00:04:49] units. Professional, competent actions -
[00:04:52] it's pleasant to see. Today I
[00:04:55] announced a private cancellation of the exercises, this does not mean that the brigade
[00:04:59] will be checked. I allowed the brigade to be brought to permanent
[00:05:02] combat readiness, to release reservists, since they
[00:05:05] coped with the tasks, and to switch to a permanent
[00:05:08] daily work regime and solve the tasks that are facing
[00:05:12] them. Also among the episodes that were practiced,
[00:05:16] the search for and detention of simulated saboteurs in urban areas,
[00:05:19] and stopping a car with armed criminals. In addition, in
[00:05:23] the forest, the unit attacked a simulated enemy, after which it cleared its
[00:05:26] position. Western allies are urgently buying
[00:05:30] missiles for Ukraine, as Bloomberg reports, European countries
[00:05:34] are completing the development of a financial plan to acquire
[00:05:37] scarce Patriot interceptor missiles from the US before the winter
[00:05:41] cold. Against this background, without waiting for others, the German
[00:05:44] Defense Minister announced that Berlin would transfer air defense missiles to Kyiv
[00:05:48] from its own Bundeswehr stocks, and would also increase supplies of
[00:05:52] air-to-air missiles and finance the purchase of tens
[00:05:55] of thousands of artillery ammunition. However, behind this
[00:05:58] support lies a clear economic calculation. The head of the German Foreign Ministry
[00:06:01] sharply criticized Zelensky, stating that Germany
[00:06:05] must benefit from its status as a key donor
[00:06:08] to Ukraine. Berlin openly expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Kyiv still
[00:06:12] has not involved German defense enterprises in its military
[00:06:15] projects and demanded from the Ukrainian leadership to place
[00:06:18] new weapons orders with manufacturers from
[00:06:21] Germany. A diplomatic scandal erupted
[00:06:25] between London and Tel Aviv. The British Foreign Minister
[00:06:28] announced the imposition of sanctions against Israel. This refers to
[00:06:32] a ban on trade with Jewish settlements in Judea and
[00:06:35] Samaria, as well as restrictions for companies that
[00:06:39] help expand these territories. 11 other states have already joined
[00:06:43] this decision. The head of the Israeli Foreign Ministry called the actions of
[00:06:46] the British absurd and announced retaliatory measures: the Jewish
[00:06:50] state is closing the British consulate in Jerusalem, and is also banning
[00:06:54] entry to Israel for twelve British officials. According to the diplomat,
[00:06:57] London is openly trying to interfere in the Israeli election
[00:07:01] campaign, and the conflict with Palestine will certainly not be resolved
[00:07:04] by statements from Europe.
[00:07:07] Bad examples are contagious, following Latvia's plans to completely
[00:07:11] ban from 2020. Russia
[00:07:15] and Belarus, similar measures were demanded to be introduced in
[00:07:17] Vilnius.
[00:07:25] The Lithuanian Seimas called on the government to join the Latvian initiative and annul the permits for routes. The parliament insists on developing a unified solution for
[00:07:28] the entire Baltic region so that Lithuania does not turn into a transit hub to bypass
[00:07:32] Latvian restrictions. I note that currently, between Lithuania,
[00:07:35] Russia, and Belarus, there are 29 permits for
[00:07:38] passenger transportation. Important regular
[00:07:42] bus routes to Minsk, Grodno, Gomel, Lida
[00:07:46] Oshmyany, could be liquidated, which are vital for thousands of families.
[00:07:49] The initiative of the Latvian Ministry of Transport to completely stop bus passenger transportation to
[00:07:53] Belarus and Russia can no longer surprise anyone. Such
[00:07:57] proposals are periodically voiced by various departments of the neighboring country
[00:08:01] throughout the year. The reasons, however, are also absolutely clear, according to an expert.
[00:08:04] This is such
[00:08:07] a policy, I rated it as a policy
[00:08:11] of creating maximum discomfort and inconvenience for
[00:08:14] their own citizens, this is for them, so that they cannot
[00:08:18] go to Russia and Belarus, so that they cannot
[00:08:22] see how people live in Russia and Belarus, so that they cannot
[00:08:25] communicate with Russian and Belarusian friends, with
[00:08:29] family members, and for this maximum inconvenience, so that
[00:08:33] they do not go, so that any ties,
[00:08:37] they broke humanitarian ties, economic
[00:08:40] ties, and now... breaking human ties is the most difficult
[00:08:44] thing, because these are individual
[00:08:46] ties, because as long as there are relationships between
[00:08:50] people, between relatives, between comrades,
[00:08:53] propaganda does not work, their propaganda does not work as
[00:08:57] effectively as they would
[00:08:59] like.
[00:09:05] The Democratic People's Republic of Korea celebrates
[00:09:08] its founding day today. With the holiday, the Chairman of State Affairs.
[00:09:15] Alexander Lukashenka noted that under the wise
[00:09:18] leadership of great leaders, whose names are inscribed in golden letters
[00:09:22] in the annals of history, the DPRK has achieved significant
[00:09:25] success. This is convincingly evidenced by the growth in the welfare
[00:09:29] of the population, an increase in the pace of production and economic
[00:09:32] development. He also noted the active expansion of ties between Minsk and
[00:09:36] Pyongyang. I recall with particular warmth the official
[00:09:39] visit to your beautiful capital in March 2026.
[00:09:43] It is gratifying that all agreements reached during the fruitful
[00:09:47] meetings are being implemented in a timely manner in
[00:09:50] the interests of the peoples of our countries. I count on
[00:09:53] the continuation of constructive dialogue," Alexander
[00:09:56] Lukashenka noted. Today marks the opening of the exhibition of Chinese
[00:10:00] goods and services. For the fifth anniversary event, a new
[00:10:03] location - the Minsk International Exhibition Center. Today on
[00:10:07] the agenda is the grand opening and the investment cooperation
[00:10:10] forum. 127 companies from the Celestial Empire
[00:10:13] are announced. All of them represent different spheres: industry,
[00:10:17] construction, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture, all with
[00:10:20] the prefix "smart," taking into account the scientific competencies of our
[00:10:23] countries. I remind you,
[00:11:25] in China, beyond its borders.
[00:11:28] A rating of construction, engineering, and contracting organizations may appear
[00:11:32] in Belarus. Information about reputation will be
[00:11:35] available to all Belarusians online. This was stated in the studio of the Economic Environment
[00:11:39] project by the First Deputy Minister of Architecture and Construction of our country, Vladimir
[00:11:43] Naumovich, noting that the relevant department is currently actively
[00:11:46] working on this issue. What other innovations await the construction
[00:11:50] industry of our country in the near future? With what
[00:11:54] indicators is the industry working this year, how many
[00:11:56] rental residential square meters are we planning to build, and how will we
[00:12:00] stimulate enterprises to participate in this process,
[00:12:03] as well as new opportunities for owners of housing certificates, and how
[00:12:07] the cost of absolutely any new building is formed, everything is simply
[00:12:10] clear, experts will explain today after the panorama on
[00:12:14] Belarus 1.
[00:12:17] We build,
[00:12:20] it means we develop, the construction industry
[00:12:24] has gained significant momentum, we are ahead
[00:12:27] of last year, a driver of the economy and comfort
[00:12:30] for millions of families, and the legislation
[00:12:33] is the creation in the Republic of Belarus
[00:12:36] of a unified system for accounting for those in need of improved
[00:12:40] housing conditions, from affordable housing to large-scale
[00:12:43] infrastructure facilities. We need to build 5
[00:12:47] million square meters of rental housing today, this is a new
[00:12:50] direction, what is more important: construction time or
[00:12:53] technical norms of reliability?
[00:13:29] Bright and rich, Minsk plans to celebrate its
[00:13:32] 9509th anniversary. The celebration will begin with a solemn
[00:13:35] laying of flowers at the obelisk Minsk - Hero City, after which thematic
[00:13:39] venues will open throughout the city. Among them are
[00:13:42] international competitions "Strongest Firefighter
[00:13:45] Rescuer", in which teams from Russia, Serbia and
[00:13:49] Vietnam will take part. In addition, in Gorky Park, from 10:00 AM
[00:13:53] to 5:00 PM, a Festival of Professions will be held. Here, through
[00:13:57] master classes, quests and other activities, you will be able to get acquainted
[00:14:00] with different specialties and choose a direction for
[00:14:03] admission. Due to the celebration of the city day,
[00:14:07] traffic will also be blocked, in connection with which the
[00:14:10] bypass scheme for sections where
[00:14:13] closure is implied will be changed. Thus, from 8 AM to
[00:14:17] 6 PM, traffic will already be closed on the ascent from Bogdanovich
[00:14:20] Street towards Pobediteley Avenue in
[00:14:24] the direction of Lenin Street, this should be taken into account, and also
[00:14:27] from 6 PM, full traffic closure is planned on
[00:14:30] the section of Pobediteley Avenue from International
[00:14:33] Street to Menekaita Street.
[00:14:36] Everything is provided for safety, entrance to the site near
[00:14:39] the Palace of Sports will be organized through eight checkpoints, and for
[00:14:43] citizens, four storage
[00:14:45] lockers are organized. The skill of elegant driving
[00:14:49] and grace at the Lipki airfield organized a real quest for City Day.
[00:14:52] I can,
[00:15:37] our contestants approached this creative
[00:15:41] competition creatively,
[00:15:43] it is worth noting that enterprises and
[00:15:46] organizations both drove on stoves in
[00:15:50] the form of cars, and it is worth noting that also from
[00:15:54] the trunk we had candies spilling out,
[00:15:58] for each, for each master driver, special
[00:16:01] nominations and prizes were prepared, and the main title of Queen of Roads
[00:16:05] was won by... The Belarusian Extraliga
[00:17:15] the mobile application, and on the multimedia portal videobel.
[00:19:21] The first megawatt fed into the energy system became a signal for the start
[00:19:24] of a new era in energy independence. Over 5 years,
[00:19:27] the power unit confirmed reliability and
[00:19:29] efficiency. White consistently generates clean
[00:19:33] and safe electricity, and has already set two
[00:19:36] achievements in
[00:19:39] Selectionists in Belarus have bred a high-protein variety of white
[00:19:42] Lupin. The new variety, which is high-yielding and disease-resistant,
[00:19:45] has been named Grek. Lupin is a relatively new crop for the country,
[00:19:49] and due to its high protein content, it is also called a superfood for
[00:19:52] animals. Artificial intelligence helps Belarusian farmers.
[00:19:56] Smart greenhouses of the new generation for growing tomatoes were put into
[00:20:00] operation in the Brest region. Vegetables are shipped
[00:20:03] directly from the greenhouses to retail chains across the country.
[00:20:06] The new modern greenhouse was created using the latest
[00:20:10] technologies, experience was gained from colleagues from Holland.
