The eighth [00:03:05] case of genocide of the Belarusian people, the accused is another accomplice of [00:03:09] the Nazis, on whose conscience are hundreds of innocent victims. And [00:03:13] Belarus is preparing for the Day of National Unity, on the eve of the holiday, a patriotic [00:03:16] motor rally was held in the country. On air is the program "Events", in the studio Evgeny [00:03:20] Kolechets. [00:03:22] Hello. The twelfth global conference of young [00:03:26] Uzbekistan. What initiatives were parliamentarians has concluded in [00:03:29] voiced by Belarus on the sidelines of the forum, our observer [00:03:32] Ksenia Rachko knows. Samarkand hosted representatives of legislative [00:03:36] bodies and youth parliamentary structures from more than 70 [00:03:40] countries. The participation of the Belarusian delegation allows promoting [00:03:43] national experience and approaches to the development of youth [00:03:46] parliamentarism, as well as the youth dimension of the Eurasian [00:03:50] Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity of the 21st [00:03:53] century, which was announced by the President of Belarus in [00:03:56] 2023 within the framework of the Minsk International Conference. [00:04:18] Also, the delegation from the Republic of Belarus shared its experience in the development of youth [00:04:22] parliamentarism since 2020. In our country, [00:04:25] a youth council operates under the Council of the Republic. We proposed a number of [00:04:29] initiatives, including those related to [00:04:31] supporting the charter on multipolarity and diversity [00:04:35] in Eurasia, and, of course, the youth dimension, so that [00:04:38] the voice of youth is heard and taken into account in the adoption of important [00:04:42] state decisions. The meeting took place on the eve of another [00:04:45] Belarusian-Uzbek inter-parliamentary forum, which will be held [00:04:49] on September 29-30 in the city of Khiva. The central banks of Belarus [00:04:53] and Russia discussed cooperation within the Union State. [00:04:56] We are waiting for details. Coordinated actions of the central banks of [00:05:00] Belarus and Russia allow ensuring the stability of [00:05:03] national banking systems, protecting the interests of people and [00:05:06] businesses. This was stated by the Chairman of the Board of [00:05:10] the National Bank Roman Golovchenko at the interbank council with the head of [00:05:13] the Central Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina. The meeting [00:05:17] was held on Mancheroque in the Altai Republic. Negotiations and [00:05:20] coordination of actions strengthen financial systems and give [00:05:24] impetus to other CIS member states to focus on [00:05:27] a high level of integration. In the conditions of the large-scale [00:05:31] external challenges that our countries have been facing for more than a year, [00:05:34] our cooperation within the Union State is of [00:05:38] particular, I would even say, strategic importance. [00:05:41] The trade turnover of our countries [00:05:44] grew from 2021 to [00:05:47] 2025 by more than 30%, while [00:05:49] maintaining a balance of imports and exports. Our economies complement [00:05:53] each other very well. In the currency structure of our [00:05:56] settlements, national currencies account for [00:06:00] the overwhelming share. These are [00:06:03] the Russian ruble, the Belarusian ruble, and for my [00:06:07] part, I want to note the coordinated actions of [00:06:10] our central banks that allow ensuring [00:06:14] the stability of banking systems, protecting the interests of [00:06:18] our citizens, our businesses, and give, which [00:06:21] is important, impetus to other our partners [00:06:25] in integration associations, such as the Eurasian Economic Union, and [00:06:29] the Commonwealth of Independent States. We are setting [00:06:32] a very good standard for integration. Evaluating [00:06:35] the base of the current year, we are forming plans for [00:06:37] 2027. Among the voiced targets for the two [00:06:41] countries are GDP growth rates near 2%. [00:06:45] The medium-term inflation target is 4-5%. Dialogue [00:06:49] for a common result. Minsk and Tbilisi are strengthening contacts. What [00:06:52] areas of cooperation are a priority today? The focus is on [00:06:55] economy, trade, industrial [00:06:58] cooperation, education, youth initiatives and [00:07:01] medicine. Over the past 4-5 years, Belarus has managed to [00:07:05] double the volume of exports to Georgia. Positive [00:07:08] dynamics continue. For the first 6 months of this year, the volume of [00:07:12] exports increased by 90%. [00:07:15] The dynamics of our contacts have significantly intensified recently, [00:07:18] and we expect further [00:07:21] deepening and development [00:07:24] mutual development of our bilateral relations, which [00:07:28] corresponds to the general historical context of [00:07:31] relations between Belarus and Georgia, between the Belarusian and Georgian [00:07:35] peoples, who have always been distinguished by friendship, mutual [00:07:39] respect, mutual sympathy. We [00:07:43] paid special attention to inter-parliamentary dialogue and [00:07:46] cooperation. Recently, these contacts [00:07:50] have intensified, with the main [00:07:53] focus on friendship, on strengthening this [00:07:56] friendship. We have a very strong [00:07:59] foundation. Our society, our peoples have always been friends and [00:08:03] continue to be friends, and accordingly, the leaders of the countries [00:08:06] are aimed at strengthening these [00:08:09] relations. You are absolutely right... [00:08:23] Belarus ranks seventh in the number of travelers visiting [00:08:27] Georgia. The parties are interested in increasing [00:08:30] the incoming flow of guests from Georgia to our country as [00:08:33] well. The holding of a [00:08:36] Belarusian-Georgian business forum is also being discussed, from [00:08:39] expanding supplies of joint projects to new business contacts [00:08:42] and humanitarian initiatives. [00:08:45] The event will become a platform where agreements will receive practical [00:08:49] continuation. Trade and economic cooperation, logistics, [00:08:52] supplies of Belarusian pharmaceuticals, the possibility of implementing cooperation [00:08:56] projects. In Belarus, Iraq plans to expand cooperation. What [00:08:59] else is of mutual interest: joint [00:09:02] production, assembly of Belarusian machinery, creation of [00:09:06] service centers, training of Iraqi farmers, plus [00:09:09] supply of food products, woodworking and timber. [00:10:25] a promising area of bilateral cooperation, including [00:10:29] the exchange of experience and the expansion of contacts between the competent [00:10:32] departments of the two countries. As for pharmaceuticals, negotiations [00:10:36] were held with business circles, representatives of the pharmacy [00:10:39] network. Belarusian medicines are entering the country, but [00:10:43] for now more often from third countries. In Baghdad, they want to [00:10:46] work directly. This includes antibiotics. [00:10:50] Also, the Iraqi pharmaceutical industry is interested in vitamins and [00:10:53] syrups that can be supplied [00:10:56] without registration. Thank you, the review was prepared by Ksenia Rachko. More news from the economy and beyond on our [00:11:00] TV channel's website and in social networks. [00:11:03] Every year, at the end of September, [00:11:08] World Tourism Day is celebrated. Belarus continues to develop this area and [00:11:11] gives it a serious impetus. The country impresses [00:11:14] with a combination of cultural heritage, attractions, [00:11:18] opportunities for outdoor activities and gastronomic delights. [00:11:21] Why is recreation in the village becoming more and more. this very thing, this historical name, with [00:11:55] this very thing we revived a three-hundred-year-old tradition [00:11:58] of making Smarhon obvaranki, they are called [00:12:01] obvaranki because before baking, they were [00:12:05] blanched in honey water, that is, [00:12:08] it is a name that [00:12:12] over time yes years yes, yes, that is, [00:12:15] they lost several letters over [00:12:19] time, yes, in 300 years, now we just say baranki, but they were called [00:12:23] obvaranki precisely... [00:12:26] They, interestingly, were created primarily for training [00:12:30] bears, because in Smarhon there was a famous bear [00:12:33] academy, precisely for bears, in order [00:12:37] to give them such a treat of hotels, when they perform [00:12:41] a trick, yes, and they needed to be encouraged that they were great, they did everything [00:12:45] well, they made such crackers, which [00:12:48] were also blanched in salted water, dried, carried [00:12:51] with them to fairs, when they led [00:12:54] bears. From this, everything started, and local housewives looked and thought, [00:12:57] why not add a little milk, [00:13:01] maybe butter, to make it a treat for people, and it [00:13:04] became such a popular treat that in the 19th century our [00:13:08] historians wrote that almost all local population was [00:13:12] engaged in preparing these obvaranki, that is, [00:13:15] this is a tourist brand of three hundred years [00:13:18] ago or 200 years ago, can you imagine, in [00:13:21] 1934, 400 people populated. [00:13:55] everyone loves it very much, we tell [00:13:58] tourists the history of these obvaranki, we have a lot of [00:14:01] photos, we have eight recipes from the late [00:14:05] 19th to the first half of the 20th century, we have already [00:14:08] worked out some of them, the most popular [00:14:12] recipe we have, which is in great [00:14:15] demand, of course, we worked on it for nine months, probably, for a very [00:14:19] long time, because what my grandmother, who [00:14:23] once baked, yes, in [00:14:26] her bakery, said, it was approximately, when you [00:14:29] start, after all, to embody [00:14:31] it, you understand, the quality of the product [00:14:35] is completely different, before there was different flour, simply its physical properties, [00:14:39] yes, different eggs and so on, different [00:14:42] sugar, while you bring it to [00:14:45] perfection, so to speak, all these moments, but we succeeded, [00:14:48] people love it very much, that is, this is your specialty, but in [00:14:51] general, agrotourism is now developing in Belarus. [00:15:37] I still have extensive experience [00:15:40] working in the field of protection of historical and cultural [00:15:44] heritage, and I have traveled a lot around Belarus, and I always want, [00:15:47] when you come to some place, to try or [00:15:50] acquire only what [00:15:53] is inherent in this place, something unique, [00:15:56] yes, that's why we provide such an opportunity, [00:16:00] and this kind of allows us to feel [00:16:04] comfortable and not feel competition, in your opinion, do people [00:16:08] still come for history or for taste or for both together? [00:16:11] Well, probably for [00:16:14] both, and maybe for the view, for [00:16:18] the atmosphere, at the same time, yes, when it [00:16:21] all comes together, we have a very beautiful place [00:16:25] with luxurious views, that is, this comfort, this [00:16:29] quality, because we are very careful about the products we produce, [00:16:33] so that they are always high-quality, tasty, fresh, [00:16:36] excellent coffee. And a person plunges into this atmosphere, [00:16:40] listens to this folklore, authentic music, which [00:16:43] sounds somewhere unobtrusively in this beautiful place, looking at this [00:16:46] history, we tell that all this is not just like that, that all this [00:16:49] is meaningful, that all this has roots, [00:16:53] everything together creates it, yes, and of course, Belarusian [00:16:56] hospitality, and tourists from which countries visit most [00:17:00] often? Oh, you know, very many, very [00:17:03] many Belarusians, domestic tourism is developing now. [00:17:07] People have become more interested in their [00:17:10] history, many tourists from Russia, [00:17:13] especially in summer, we had tourists at [00:17:17] master classes, we hold master classes on making [00:17:20] baranki, we tell stories, people make them, then eat them with tea, [00:17:24] we had tourists from [00:17:27] Brazil who were at the master class, from Japan, from [00:17:30] the Netherlands, from Spain, [00:17:33] Portugal, from Poland, there are not so many of them, [00:17:38] but nevertheless, yes, they come and are also [00:17:41] interested from America, from the USA there were [00:17:44] probably three or four people at different times, that is, [00:17:48] well, in general, in your opinion, why is recreation in the village, in [00:17:50] agro-eco-farmsteads, becoming more popular? [00:17:54] Probably because people get tired of [00:17:57] this urban hustle and bustle. After all, [00:17:59] a person [00:18:01] was born in nature, he is a part of nature, and he [00:18:05] always wants to somehow connect with it. [00:20:37] who are ready to invest a certain part, of course, all this will be very [00:20:41] difficult, and I would like the state to also get involved, so this civil [00:20:44] initiative would give a wonderful opportunity, and we would have this [00:20:48] one more significant such... [00:21:20] there are many opportunities, many [00:21:23] opportunities for self-realization, for some career growth, for starting [00:21:27] your own business and gaining financial independence, now [00:21:30] this is very important, it becomes very relevant for [00:21:33] women, [00:21:36] and probably, from my observations, it's hard to say how it is statistically, [00:21:39] but it seems to me that tourism really has a feminine face, [00:21:43] most of the partners we work with [00:21:46] are still women, of course there are also men, but there are very few of them. [00:21:50] But they are all very charismatic, [00:21:54] artistic, [00:21:56] these few men, [00:21:59] but still, the majority are women, and you know, women [00:22:03] are naturally endowed with qualities such as [00:22:07] a certain diplomacy, delicacy, [00:22:10] softness, such variability, [00:22:13] communication skills, and it's a little easier for them [00:22:16] to work with tourists in this sense. [00:22:20] It's creativity, yes, absolutely correct, it's something [00:22:23] pleasant, and in general I want to say that, of course, our [00:22:27] women, they are [00:22:30] very professional, they delve [00:22:33] very deeply into the subject, they are very responsible, [00:22:36] pedantic, [00:22:38] and generally amazing how they cope with this, considering [00:22:42] what they have behind them, somewhere household, children, [00:22:46] organization of all these training issues. [00:23:25] The most interesting Belarusian enterprises and farms, [00:23:29] what a harvest, look, guys, how beautiful, [00:23:32] it's like a child, even worse, [00:23:35] touch it with your hand and you can make your [00:23:38] wish, [00:23:42] goosebumps, completely different matter, yes, each one I [00:23:46] named when I planted it, I know that today you are cooking [00:24:21] the most delicious fish soup in the region, what is it called, not just [00:24:25] fish soup, fish soup from Grap Khrebtovich, stuffed, [00:24:29] my mouth is already watering, this is one of my [00:24:31] favorite bouillons, we present you soup in the style of shurpa from [00:24:35] moose meat, what kind of dish is this, meat [00:24:39] nut, this is a leg of venison without [00:24:42] the bone already, well, at first glance, at first sniff, as I said, [00:24:46] it smells like boiled pork, on the TV channel. This is the "Events" program, we [00:25:34] continue. Crime without statute of limitations. The Supreme Court [00:25:37] began consideration of the criminal case of Alexander Buglai. He is accused of [00:25:41] genocide of the Belarusian people. The defendant himself died in [00:25:45] 1990. The investigation established several dozen [00:25:48] episodes of his criminal activity. According to the Prosecutor [00:25:51] General's Office, until May 1944, [00:25:54] Buglai headed the so-called combat volunteer battalion. [00:25:58] Initially, the detachment numbered about 70 people. Subsequently, more than 700 [00:26:02] would be subordinated to him. Buglai and his [00:26:05] accomplices, according to the materials of the criminal [00:26:08] case, committed 33 [00:26:12] episodes of criminal activity, during which 174 [00:26:15] people were killed, and 77 people were [00:26:19] abducted into slavery. Moreover, [00:26:22] numerous people were deprived of [00:26:26] food, as well as clothing [00:26:29] and livestock. The criminal case [00:26:32] consists of 68 volumes, 15 [00:26:36] witnesses have been interrogated. Buglai fled to the USA after the war [00:26:39] and never faced responsibility. The current trial has become the eighth case of genocide [00:26:43] of the Belarusian people against the Nazis and their accomplices [00:26:46] submitted to the court. In St. Petersburg, this week, [00:26:50] one of the most tragic pages of the Great [00:26:53] Patriotic War was commemorated - the 85th anniversary of the beginning of the siege of [00:26:56] Leningrad. The head of the Presidential Administration of Belarus, Dmitry Krutoy, took [00:27:00] part in the ceremony of laying flowers at the Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery. [00:27:03] Flowers were laid at the foot of the "Motherland" monument, to the memorial sign for [00:27:07] students of Leningrad craft schools and the Eternal [00:27:10] Flame. On the sad date, Belarusians presented a unique project in [00:27:14] St. Petersburg - the "Requiem Concert: Every [00:27:17] Third". This is a synthesis of theatrical and musical art, [00:27:20] documentary and modern technologies. For the preservation of [00:27:23] historical memory and the strengthening of spiritual values. Last [00:27:26] year, the project was awarded the President of Belarus's prize for spiritual [00:27:30] revival. Belarus is preparing for the Day of National [00:27:33] Unity. On the eve of the holiday, a patriotic motor rally was held in the country. [00:27:37] From September 7 to 11, patriots from all over Belarus [00:27:40] overcame a path through time and borders from the turn of [00:27:44] 1939 to a united, strong and independent [00:27:47] Belarus. Participants visited five key points: [00:27:51] Mikashevichi, the agro-town of Lenin, Stolbtsy, Glubokoe, Verkhny [00:27:54] Dvinsk. Each of these populated areas is a living witness to [00:27:57] the tragic split and [00:28:01] long-awaited reunification. [00:28:03] For us, this holiday is very important, the Day of National [00:28:07] Unity, one of the main holidays of our country, we [00:28:11] decided that today we will start the motor rally from [00:28:14] Mikashevichi, from our southern side, to [00:28:18] Verkhnyaya Dzvinsk, the last point, it was here along the Sluč River that [00:28:21] the border between Western and Eastern Belarus once ran, and this holiday [00:28:24] is important for us like no other, in fact, and [00:28:28] people remember those times when... we were divided, it is very [00:28:31] symbolic that in 2021, after all, this holiday came to us [00:28:35] again, it is on a par with Victory Day, with Independence Day, we got such a [00:28:39] triad of very important state holidays, [00:28:42] which emphasizes our independence, emphasizes that we are together, [00:28:45] we are united, and our strength is in unity. Well, before the start of [00:28:49] the rally, a dialogue "Open Forum" took place, experts [00:28:52] answered the most pressing questions concerning the history of [00:28:55] the western territories, the organizers of the project are the Republican public [00:28:59] association "Patriots of Belarus". Participants emphasize that the main [00:29:02] goal of the motor rally is to remind every Belarusian of the continuity of [00:29:06] generations, the inviolability of national [00:29:09] unity. Eleven-year-old Margot Zingman with [00:29:11] the composition "I hold the light in my palms" will represent Belarus at [00:29:15] the "Our Generation" contest. The ballad, on [00:29:17] the verge of rock, was specially written for the performance by Russian [00:29:21] composer Maxim Fadeev. This is a manifesto about dreams, hope [00:29:24] and inner light. The premiere of the song took place at Belteleradiocompany. [00:29:27] Even in the studio, we recorded it. [00:29:31] and told her opinion about this song, how it should sound, I think that the song turned out very well, at the moment of this recording, this song, I just closed my eyes for a second, felt it, and well, performed what I had to, this [00:29:53] song is about a girl, about me, I think, who at first could [00:29:57] not do anything with herself, she always worried, I was afraid [00:30:01] to take the first step, but when she decided, she received [00:30:04] hope and inspired [00:30:07] all people to good deeds, for me this song [00:30:11] motivates me 100%, to some good deeds, [00:30:14] to cheer me up, sometimes I even [00:30:18] cry from it, it's just [00:30:21] incredible, I won't fall anymore, [00:30:24] I will raise my [00:30:27] eyes to the sky and won't give my [00:30:31] fire to the wind. And I'm scared, but I can [00:30:35] do it all, I will open all [00:30:37] paths, I will be able to [00:30:40] go through everything, this is my path, I [00:30:44] found my voice [00:30:47] forever, it's in me [00:30:49] forever. "Our Generation" will gather in [00:30:53] Tashkent on November 20. Uzbekistan will host the prestigious [00:30:56] song forum for the first time, which was approved by the BRICS and African [00:30:59] countries four years ago. The organizers note. [00:31:45] the opening of the ninety-fourth season is [00:31:48] connected precisely with such [00:31:50] a real, big [00:31:53] tribute to opera art and this tradition in general. [00:31:56] The very name "Triumph of Opera" is, of course, pompous, lofty, and in [00:32:00] my opinion, it reflects the current state of what [00:32:04] our theater is engaged in today. And it seems to me that if we [00:32:07] start with a triumph, then I think we will maintain this high level, this [00:32:11] culminating point, throughout the entire season. Also, the artists of the Bolshoi [00:32:16] Theater are awaiting a touring tour to Bangkok, China, Oman, Vietnam and Russia. [00:32:20] The first premiere of the new season will be the ballet Love Scene [00:32:24] Chagall, which will take place on November 28 and 29.

[00:33:24] Over time, some moved to a big city, some retired, [00:33:27] and the housing remained empty. Alexander Lukashenka [00:33:31] is convinced that a second life for abandoned houses [00:33:34] is possible, especially since interest in village houses [00:33:37] is growing, and not only among Belarusians.

Belarus is not going to attack anyone, but [00:36:11] it must ensure its own security, the president said [00:36:14] at a meeting with the military at the Abuz-Lesnovsky training ground. [00:36:18] Also today, the head of state familiarized himself with the development and [00:36:21] practical use of communications systems in the troops. This area in [00:36:25] the armed forces is extremely relevant. [00:36:44] The Prime Minister familiarized himself with the capacities of the Minsk Motor [00:36:48] Plant, focusing on the development of domestic [00:36:50] engine manufacturing. One of the topics is the creation of [00:36:53] high-tech modern motor production. As of today, [00:36:57] we are expanding range [00:37:01] produced by the engine plant, in particular we are working on [00:37:04] creating a 9.5 liter engine, we have finished [00:37:08] manufacturing a prototype of 14 liters, [00:37:11] we are also working on a 2.5 [00:37:15] liter engine, we are engaged in marine topics, river [00:37:18] topics, with the support of the research laboratory, certain [00:37:22] equipment is being purchased that helps us speed up the [00:37:26] creation and development time. manufacturing of experimental [00:37:29] prototypes, our last experience, we made [00:37:32] a fourteen-liter engine in 2 and a half years, or even two years, [00:37:35] whereas before this process took, well, several [00:37:39] years, it could be three, at least 3 years, within [00:37:43] the framework of the All-Belarusian People's Assembly, the President of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander [00:37:46] Lukashenko, set the task of creating [00:37:49] the entire range of engines that will be in demand in the Republic of [00:37:53] Belarus and have a rather good export potential for [00:37:56] export. In 8 months, we closed with a parameter of 105 [00:37:59] and 7, we are working quite well with our partners [00:38:03] in post-Soviet countries, these are the Russian Federation, [00:38:07] Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and [00:38:09] other countries, we are actively working with [00:38:13] Asian regions, so in principle, we understand that this [00:38:16] year we will maintain exports at the level that I have already [00:38:20] announced, to give a new impetus to strengthening [00:38:23] all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership, [00:38:27] reaching new heights of inter-parliamentary and trade and economic [00:38:30] cooperation.

In many ways, such interaction is the result [00:38:48] of friendly relations between the leaders of Belarus and China. It has practical [00:38:51] content. Alexander Lukashenko signed the corresponding directive [00:38:54] back in May. In today's difficult time, Belarus and China are [00:38:58] a vivid example of successful cooperation in the international [00:39:01] arena.
