[00:00:55] Live news, a brief summary of the main topics of this
[00:00:57] issue.
[00:01:00] The army must be ready and equipped with the latest technologies, the president at
[00:01:04] the training ground in the Baranovichi
[00:01:05] district.
[00:01:08] Belarus-Latvia dialogue against confrontation, while Riga
[00:01:11] builds fences, residents of Latvia call for people's
[00:01:14] diplomacy.
[00:01:17] Tomato seeds have been in space, now the harvest is being collected on
[00:01:20] Earth. Was the scientific experiment of Belarusian and Russian
[00:01:23] schoolchildren successful?
[00:01:26] Musical premiere from the experienced pain, unconquered Khatyn.
[00:01:32] Maxim Fadeev dedicated a song to our
[00:01:33] country.
[00:01:37] Belarus is not going to attack anyone, but it is obliged
[00:01:40] to ensure its security. This was stated by
[00:01:43] the president at a meeting with military personnel at the combined-arms training ground Ouz
[00:01:47] Lisnovsky. He also noted that the army must be
[00:01:50] equipped with the latest technologies, modernization of communication
[00:01:53] systems. If
[00:01:56] there is a war,
[00:01:58] we are deploying. As today's exercises
[00:02:02] are conducted under a new system, we begin
[00:02:05] to manage troops completely, and generally even
[00:02:08] the control system of the armed
[00:02:12] I mean, not just the army, but also the internal
[00:02:15] troops, the KGB, etc., and
[00:02:18] the entire state and the civilian sector will
[00:02:21] be covered by communications, yes.
[00:02:25] We will present to you those new means of communication that
[00:02:29] are currently.
[00:03:01] Also today, the head of state familiarized himself with the development and practical
[00:03:04] use of communication systems in the troops, the president was briefed on
[00:03:08] the purpose, composition, combat capabilities and directions
[00:03:11] of development of signal troops in Belarus. The development of the armed
[00:03:14] forces takes into account primarily the experience of modern armed
[00:03:18] conflicts.
[00:03:21] Health, family, prosperity and peace are the main
[00:03:24] values of Belarusians. Such are the results of a large-scale republican
[00:03:28] study conducted by the institute.
[00:04:00] intends, and in response to the question: are you satisfied with your place
[00:04:03] of work? More than 82%
[00:04:06] said yes, the state pays great attention
[00:04:09] to the social protection of workers, creates new jobs in all
[00:04:13] regions of the country, what is the initiative one district, one
[00:04:16] project worth, it gave new life to the hinterland, people
[00:04:20] are ready to work conscientiously, which means that labor productivity
[00:04:24] is growing. For the majority of Belarusians, which is almost
[00:04:27] 81%, the most important thing in life is
[00:04:31] health, this includes lifestyle, and nutrition, in
[00:04:34] second place is family, although demographic attitudes are still
[00:04:38] restrained, one or two children is the most popular
[00:04:42] answer,
[00:04:45] love, tenderness,
[00:04:48] warmth, from all the neighborhood
[00:04:52] relatives, inspiration of my strength
[00:04:55] sources,
[00:04:58] father's house,
[00:05:02] my
[00:05:03] family.
[00:05:12] Historic high at US gas stations. The average
[00:05:15] cost of diesel fuel in the country exceeded the mark of
[00:05:19] $6 per gallon. According to services data,
[00:05:22] a new record was set just a week after the previous peak of
[00:05:26] 5.85 cents. In just a year,
[00:05:29] diesel has risen in price by more than $2. Analysts
[00:05:32] warn that this jump will inevitably accelerate inflation, as
[00:05:36] the cost of fuel is included in the prices of most goods due to
[00:05:40] the costs of agricultural machinery and cargo.
[00:05:44] and transportation. The CEO of the Finnish airline Finnair complained
[00:05:48] about, quote, "extremely unfair
[00:05:51] competition," in which the business found itself after the closure of Russian
[00:05:54] airspace. In an interview with Reuters, the top manager
[00:05:58] admitted that the Finnish carrier is suffering colossal losses due to
[00:06:02] the longer route to East Asia. At the same time, Chinese
[00:06:06] airlines calmly fly their previous routes through
[00:06:09] Russia, maintaining huge time advantages.
[00:06:12] costs. Earlier, the Finnish Prime Minister already stated
[00:06:15] a drop in the country's economic growth due to severed ties with
[00:06:19] Moscow.
[00:06:21] Latvia has decided on the format of a new round of economic war with
[00:06:25] its neighbors, and official Riga intends to quadruple
[00:06:29] the tariffs for using its railways for Belarusian and
[00:06:32] Russian grain exporters. Initially,
[00:06:35] they prepared to introduce duties of 300%. But the country's
[00:06:38] authorities explained that this is impossible due to EU regulations.
[00:06:43] Meanwhile, a sharp rise in transit tariffs threatens
[00:06:46] Latvia itself with a complete or partial paralysis of the railway
[00:06:49] transportation sector. So far, the increase in tariffs by 300% has only been
[00:06:53] announced by the prime minister, but he may be persuaded by European
[00:06:57] or American colleagues. Brussels and Washington have recently
[00:07:01] been extremely concerned about the reduction in grain supply on
[00:07:04] world markets and rising
[00:07:06] food prices.
[00:07:08] Dialogue against confrontation, to what has the economy of Latvia been forced?
[00:07:42] 170 km, such proximity historically favored
[00:07:46] cooperation, movement of transit goods,
[00:07:49] joint environmental and cultural projects are convenient,
[00:07:53] there is appropriate infrastructure, railway communication and
[00:07:57] automobile logistics corridors, but instead
[00:08:00] of creation and further dialogue, Riga chooses
[00:08:03] a different path, destroys the economic landscape and
[00:08:06] calls for increased sanctions against Minsk. And the
[00:08:10] result was not long in coming. Sanctions against Belarus turned into
[00:08:14] a crisis for the Baltic state in the transit industry, and losses in
[00:08:18] energy and industry due to short-sighted geopolitical
[00:08:22] choices became a blow for ordinary workers and businesses.
[00:08:25] The Belarusian economy, in turn, steered onto new
[00:08:29] logistics routes, reorienting itself to Russian
[00:08:32] sea ports, and industry gained a significant incentive for
[00:08:36] developing new markets in Asia, Africa,
[00:08:39] and the Middle East. Confrontational path.
[00:09:13] Latvia lowers the barrier and sets up a roadblock at the site of a
[00:09:16] once busy checkpoint, a neighboring state,
[00:09:19] hides behind imaginary threats to national
[00:09:23] security. In fact, carrying out the decisions of
[00:09:26] Brussels and Washington, the burden on the only corridor
[00:09:30] of loss is significantly increasing, but even here
[00:09:33] the control services are not distinguished by rhythmic work, creating
[00:09:36] artificial queues at a time when politicians
[00:09:40] are inventing new bans for buses.
[00:10:12] For example, Latgale historically lived off trade and logistics.
[00:10:16] The Latvian barrier turned the eastern region of the country into
[00:10:20] a depressed zone with the highest level of
[00:10:22] unemployment. And instead of landscaping.
[00:10:43] peaceful policy, Latvia is increasingly escalating
[00:10:47] negative trends, the response to the Belarusian visa-free regime
[00:10:50] was tightening the screws for its citizens, although there was another
[00:10:54] option. Come and see the real
[00:10:57] situation. More than 1,427
[00:11:00] thousand Europeans have used the visa-free entry since its
[00:11:04] inception, over 450 thousand
[00:11:07] of whom are holders of Latvian passports. A little more and the number
[00:11:11] will be comparable to the number of residents of Riga. I travel quite
[00:11:15] often, so this is relevant to me, very convenient,
[00:11:18] fast. New places are always interesting, when
[00:11:21] you come to another country, always.
[00:12:25] adhere to people's diplomacy, many questions have accumulated
[00:12:27] for discussion, the solution of which requires from Riga,
[00:12:31] if not common sense, then at least a pragmatic
[00:12:35] approach. Marina Romanovskaya, Mikhail Khristoforov, first
[00:12:38] informational.
[00:12:41] 9,205 thousand tons of grain, including rapeseed, have been harvested
[00:12:45] by farmers in the country today. In the capital region,
[00:12:48] 2,415 tons, in Grodno region
[00:12:51] 1,844 tons, 1,600
[00:12:55] 76 in Brest region. Grain growers of Mogilev region
[00:12:58] have harvested 1,209,000 tons
[00:13:01] of the new harvest. Gomel region 1,093 tons,
[00:13:05] Vitebsk region - 968 tons of
[00:13:07] grain. Sugar beet harvesting is also underway, it has been harvested from
[00:13:11] 19% of the areas. The yield of root crops is 430
[00:13:15] centners per hectare. Corn has been harvested from
[00:13:18] 20% of the areas. Grass from the second cut has been mown on
[00:13:22] 94% of the areas. Potatoes
[00:13:25] have been harvested from 15% of the areas, 120,000
[00:13:28] tons have been harvested, most of all in Mogilev
[00:13:31] region.
[00:13:34] Into space with your tomato. In Moscow, the results
[00:13:37] of a scientific experiment were summarized, in which schoolchildren from Belarus
[00:13:41] and Russia participated. A year ago, on the biosatellite Bion M2,
[00:13:45] seeds from the Belarusian city of Ivie and the Russian
[00:13:48] Minusinsk were sent into orbit. They are unofficially called tomato
[00:13:52] capitals. After returning to Earth, the seeds.
[00:13:58] How much higher is the quality of space tomatoes than their earthly counterparts was studied by Daria
[00:14:02] Belousova-Petrovskaya?
[00:14:05] The scientific experiment "Into space with your tomato" started a year ago, then
[00:14:09] the biosatellite Bion M2 was
[00:14:12] launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome. It is part of a unique space program
[00:14:16] that has no analogues in the world. Its main goal is to study how
[00:14:20] living creatures, these are microorganisms, plants
[00:14:23] and microbes, behave in space...
[00:14:26] Tomato seeds were sent into orbit for the first time, not by chance, they were chosen because of
[00:14:30] their light weight. 1500 is only 5 grams. The
[00:14:33] experiment involved three schools from Moscow, Minusinsk and Ivie.
[00:14:37] By the way, the idea to send tomato seeds into space was born precisely
[00:14:41] in the tomato capital of Belarus. We were at the tomato
[00:14:44] festival, congratulating the wonderful Ivie nurse
[00:14:47] Aisha Shabanovich, that her tomato became
[00:14:50] the winner. And Victor says: "Let's send Aisha's
[00:14:53] tomato seeds into space." We thought it was a joke, and
[00:14:57] then we started to think, well, it's boring to send only Ivie, and we
[00:15:01] came up with the idea that they would fly together with the twin city, with
[00:15:04] Minusinsk, in Siberia, and we are all so happy
[00:15:07] that our seeds have sprouted, with such an idea, the results, now
[00:15:11] the result of the experiment can not only be seen, but tasted, these are
[00:15:15] potted tomatoes Pinocchio and Goroshek from Moscow, Bull's Heart from
[00:15:19] Minusinsk and the famous variety Donetsky from Ivie, it is
[00:15:23] drought-resistant, excellent. It tolerates high temperatures, but
[00:15:27] as the experiment showed, even space cold is no match for it. The results
[00:15:30] of the study showed that the yield of Belarusian
[00:15:33] tomatoes grown from seeds that have been in space is 20%
[00:15:38] higher than their earthly counterparts, it was indeed shown
[00:15:41] that cosmic radiation has a positive effect on the growth and
[00:15:44] development of tomatoes of various varieties, and
[00:15:48] four varieties that were grown by different
[00:15:50] teams, each of these teams showed
[00:15:53] that space tomatoes turned out to be more developed,
[00:15:57] and I'll tell you more, it's already September, for example, our
[00:16:01] variety that was grown on the windows of our
[00:16:05] classrooms, is still blooming. It bears fruit, while
[00:16:08] the control variant has already bloomed and their growing season
[00:16:12] has ended. The experiment attracted great interest. If it started with
[00:16:16] three schools, now about ten more have joined the project
[00:16:20] participants, as well as agricultural academies, institutes, and
[00:16:23] research laboratories, which will study the microbiological
[00:16:27] composition of space tomatoes in more detail. And if you look
[00:16:30] further, such an educational experiment, which is primarily
[00:16:33] designed for young people, will also help
[00:16:37] professional astronauts in research on growing plants in
[00:16:40] orbit. Such experiments help
[00:16:43] to find some new technological possibilities
[00:16:47] for growing such plants in enclosed
[00:16:51] hermetic objects, this could
[00:16:54] be either a station that
[00:16:56] will fly, for example, the Russian orbital station, or we will
[00:17:00] look further, these are some lunar
[00:17:03] stations that will just... allow
[00:17:06] to grow plants, these are such projects
[00:17:10] that, it would seem, are only educational, but in general they are still
[00:17:13] like bricks, they build this wall of knowledge
[00:17:17] that will help us
[00:17:20] to get these technologies for growing plants in
[00:17:23] space. The experiment continues, space tomatoes will not
[00:17:27] only be eaten, their seeds will be extracted and
[00:17:30] observed what harvest the second generation
[00:17:33] of space tomatoes will give. Daria Belosova Petrovskaya Alexander
[00:17:36] Lyubitelev. First informational Moscow.
[00:17:40] Neat pedestrian paths, equipment on playgrounds,
[00:17:44] well-maintained green areas, in order to name the best district
[00:17:47] of the capital in the field of housing and communal services, specialists thoroughly
[00:17:51] examine yards, from the condition of facades and container modules
[00:17:55] to the aesthetics of entrance groups. The list of mandatory
[00:17:58] addresses includes objects in all nine districts of the capital.
[00:18:02] Many multi-apartment buildings here, many children,
[00:18:05] kindergartens, after evening. it's really
[00:18:08] crowded, there are a lot of children, here
[00:18:12] it's very pleasing that there is a zone for small
[00:18:16] children, like my son, he is 1 year old,
[00:18:19] small slides, small ladders,
[00:18:22] cars, a large sandbox, there is already a zone for older
[00:18:26] children, what we focus on is the participation of
[00:18:29] residents, the population in the improvement of the yards where
[00:18:33] people live, all we focus on
[00:18:36] is that and...
[00:18:47] They also assess the figures for last year, the fulfillment of plans for
[00:18:50] major repairs, elevator replacement, and the speed of response to requests in
[00:18:54] the unified dispatch service. Residents themselves cast their vote for the best district
[00:18:58] in online voting, the winner will be announced on the city day.
[00:19:01] From sports sections to studying
[00:19:04] artificial intelligence. The Minsk Palace of Children and Youth continues to enroll
[00:19:08] children in interest groups for young residents of the metropolis. There are over
[00:19:12] 600 clubs here in various directions. This year the list
[00:19:16] has been expanded, the teachers of the center will allow children to learn
[00:19:20] how to work with neural networks. It is also planned to open a group for
[00:19:24] directing skills, among the most popular areas are the study of
[00:19:27] foreign languages, as well as artistic profiles. We
[00:19:31] have been doing this for more than one year here.
[00:19:35] dancing, we really like it, we found
[00:19:39] even more interesting
[00:19:43] educational associations
[00:19:45] on ecology, there is a living corner here, at first it might have seemed
[00:19:49] a little skeptical, but the classes are so lively and interesting, children not only learn about
[00:19:52] nature, they make some crafts, communicate with
[00:19:56] animals, at the moment we have more than 400
[00:19:59] already enrolled in our interest group,
[00:20:03] everyone will be able to find a direction they like.
