[00:00:43] Live news, with Dmitry Potopovich, good morning, here are the main
[00:00:47] topics. When caring for nature is a life's work, we congratulate
[00:00:50] forestry workers on their professional
[00:00:53] holiday. The situation in the Middle East has once again reached
[00:00:57] its limit. Iran gave Trump peace terms. Under the threat
[00:01:00] of a decisive war. Exhibitions , sports competitions
[00:01:04] , tastings, musical program. Dzerzhinsk celebrated

[00:01:18] exhibitions of achievements, sports competitions, a city of masters
[00:01:22] , tastings and a musical program. Traditionally, this is also the opening of significant
[00:01:26] facilities. New locations and centers of attraction have appeared. As a gift.
[00:02:30] We have already sown over half of the areas
[00:02:34] under winter grain
[00:02:36] wedge, this is already a guarantee of a future
[00:02:39] harvest. Today, the grain harvest in the central region
[00:02:43] is almost 2.5 million tons, including rapeseed, and this is the most
[00:02:46] significant korovai of Belarus. I note that 11 districts of the Minsk
[00:02:50] region have overcome the milestone of 100,000 tons of grain, in the
[00:02:53] assets of Slutsk and Kopolsky it is even over 200. There is
[00:02:57] also an absolute record yield in the economy.
[00:03:00] This is 112 centners per hectare. The next city
[00:03:04] that will host the festival fair of rural workers of the Minsk region
[00:03:07] Dazhinki will be Lyuban.
[00:03:11] Careful attitude, care for the preservation of Belarusian nature.
[00:03:14] Today in Belarus, the Day of Forestry Workers
[00:03:17] is celebrated. These are those who are daily guarding the forests, which,
[00:03:20] by the way, occupy more than 40% of our country's territory.
[00:03:24] The industry combines long-standing traditions and modern
[00:03:27] technologies, from digital monitoring to ... advanced
[00:03:30] nurseries, and the department this year celebrates an anniversary
[00:03:34] of 90 years, the result of such many years of work is no less
[00:03:37] than 3000 hectares of new plantings, and those whose
[00:03:41] labor and care preserve and multiply the national
[00:03:44] wealth of the country, in the plot of Polina
[00:03:47] Beresneva.
[00:03:53] The lungs of Europe, this worthy status is borne by Belarusian forests,
[00:03:57] the areas are increasing, this is evidenced by the figures. Compared to
[00:04:00] last year, the number of forest massifs in the country increased
[00:04:04] by 2%, and these are not only production
[00:04:08] forests, but also reserves , national parks, nature reserves, and
[00:04:11] also natural monuments. If we consider the regions in detail, Gomel
[00:04:15] region holds the leadership, here almost 47% of the territory
[00:04:18] is covered with forest. In Vitebsk, the indicator reaches a little
[00:04:22] more than 42%, in Mogilev about 40%.
[00:04:25] The forest cover of the central region is just over
[00:04:27] 38.5%.
[00:04:30] In the Brest and Grodno regions, the indicator is slightly above
[00:04:33] 36.
[00:04:37] But behind every figure is the daily work of specialists, which combines
[00:04:41] modern approaches and state support. As a
[00:04:44] result, we get the preservation and multiplication of one of the main
[00:04:48] national treasures of the Belarusian forest. My whole life is connected with the
[00:04:51] forest. I have been working in forestry since 1983.
[00:04:55] That's 43
[00:04:58] years. And my father too.
[00:05:12] forest. In the Kopyl nursery, about ten
[00:05:16] forest-forming species and fifty different varieties of
[00:05:19] plants are grown. The area is more than 8.5 hectares, the
[00:05:22] team is small, seven people, six of whom are foresters, one
[00:05:26] tractor driver, but that is enough. The nursery covers not
[00:05:29] only the needs of its own forestry, but also supplies young plants throughout
[00:05:33] the country. In general, throughout the republic, about 350 million
[00:05:36] seedlings are grown annually, and the volume of production
[00:05:39] of planting material with a closed root system.
[00:06:49] This environmentally friendly fuel is in high demand today in the domestic and foreign markets, and we should not forget about firewood. At the same time, modern
[00:06:52] forestry enterprises have long gone beyond merely harvesting wood
[00:06:55] and protection. Today, they are actively developing secondary
[00:06:58] forest use, from collecting birch sap to their own apiaries.
[00:07:02] We collected quite a bit right now. We have already
[00:07:05] collected 32 kg per family. But we
[00:07:09] still plan to bring it up to 4 tons.
[00:07:42] stock of wood, but also the volumes of its deep processing. This
[00:07:46] success, as proof, Belarus is among the top ten
[00:07:49] forest states in Europe. Today, words of gratitude
[00:07:53] and congratulations go to the workers of forestry, to which
[00:07:56] we also join, Polina Beresneva, Ilya Maksimov, First
[00:08:00] Information. First Week - festive and
[00:08:04] working components. National Unity Day, a large youth
[00:08:07] forum, and less than a day later, a working trip to the
[00:08:10] Mogilev region. In the middle of the week, we found out what Washington
[00:08:14] wants, at first we said thank you to those who work for
[00:08:17] results without days off, the official agenda and backstage, our
[00:08:21] colleagues collected everything in the section Time of the First, watch today in the
[00:08:24] main broadcast on Belarus-1, Time of the
[00:08:27] First,
[00:08:33] Monday, state awards, as Utorkina
[00:08:36] said, I agree to a medal, but an order is also good,

[00:08:43] can be called people. American
[00:08:46] negotiations. Greetings from the President of the United
[00:08:48] States. They support in every possible way everything that we
[00:08:52] do.
[00:08:54] New participants. I asked the Prime Minister to come. And
[00:08:58] the States lift sanctions. They will lift sanctions from two Belarusian
[00:09:01] companies.
[00:09:04] September 17th for Belarusians
[00:09:07] is equal to the independence of our state. How does the one
[00:09:10] for whom Belarus is created feel?
[00:09:22] On the contrary, the difficulties of the end of the week, you will not work, I am telling you
[00:09:25] Kubiche, a working trip to the Shklov district, if anything
[00:09:29] is needed, thank you for being there, watch the time of the first, without
[00:09:33] Kooper,
[00:09:39] the situation in the Middle East has once again escalated to its limits. All US
[00:09:43] embassies in the region urgently urged American citizens to immediately
[00:09:46] leave the dangerous zone due to the threat of airspace closure. The day before,
[00:09:50] Tehran, through Qatar, delivered an ultimatum of seven
[00:09:53] conditions for a peaceful settlement to Washington, threatening
[00:09:57] a decisive war if they were rejected. Iran demands a ceasefire on all
[00:10:01] fronts and the unblocking of its accounts. To seize
[00:10:04] the strategic initiative, the strike was delivered on the weekend.
[00:10:07] The pressure worked. Donald Trump urgently cut short his vacation in Camp
[00:10:11] David and returned to the White House at night to study
[00:10:15] Tehran's demands. The British army is in
[00:10:19] a deplorable state due to years of underfunding,
[00:10:22] former fleet commander Alan West stated. about a critical defense
[00:10:26] crisis on Downing Street are trying to close a budget gap of
[00:10:29] 5 billion pounds, due to which the goal of bringing military
[00:10:33] spending to 3% of GDP by 2030 is being postponed. In
[00:10:36] a four-year plan for 300 billion, some programs still
[00:10:40] do not have funding. The opposition blames the government for
[00:10:43] negligence. The crisis is exacerbated by mass layoffs
[00:10:47] of personnel due to low wages, up to 300 experienced
[00:10:50] soldiers voluntarily leave the armed forces every month, and bases
[00:10:54] record unknown drones almost every day,
[00:10:57] 340 incidents per year, according to shocking data
[00:11:01] from the Independent.
[00:11:04] Germany's main beer festival, Oktoberfest in Munich, will be
[00:11:07] held for the first time this year under military protection. A drone-free
[00:11:11] zone with a radius of more than 5 and a height of up to 10
[00:11:15] km will be deployed at the event. The military personnel of the
[00:11:19] Bundeswehr were entrusted with controlling the sky. In case of
[00:11:22] an unidentified drone, the military will carry out verification. However, the use
[00:11:25] of combat
[00:11:28] weapons is completely excluded. On the ground, security will be provided by more than
[00:11:32] 600 police officers, aviation helicopters and
[00:11:35] 50 smart cameras with artificial intelligence for facial recognition
[00:11:38] and threat detection.
[00:11:41] Belarusian customs today celebrates its thirty-fifth anniversary. A new chapter
[00:11:45] in the history of domestic customs affairs began in difficult conditions
[00:11:49] of changing eras, simultaneously with our country gaining
[00:11:52] independence, the head of state noted.
[00:12:06] Having come a long way of modernization, Belarusian customs has turned into
[00:12:10] a high-tech tool for protecting the economic
[00:12:13] interests of the country and fighting cross-border crime.
[00:12:17] Thanks to the professionalism, integrity and loyalty to duty
[00:12:20] of employees, as well as constant improvement of control and
[00:12:24] effective. digital technologies, stable
[00:12:27] replenishment of the republican budget is ensured,
[00:12:30] favorable conditions are created for foreign economic
[00:12:33] activity. I am sure that relying on rich experience, Belarusian
[00:12:37] customs officers will continue to solve the tasks at the
[00:12:40] highest level, stressed Alexander
[00:12:43] Lukashenka. Today the department is not a barrier for
[00:12:47] legal business, but rather helps it
[00:12:50] work under sanction pressure and unstable
[00:12:53] functioning checkpoints from neighbors, reorienting
[00:12:57] flows helping to find other markets, since a significant
[00:13:01] part now comes not from the European Union, but from
[00:13:04] Asia. At the same time, it is impossible to say that working at the border has become
[00:13:07] calmer, contraband threats of drugs
[00:13:11] are regularly detected here. Only in the last 5 years, the import of about
[00:13:14] 9 tons of narcotic psychotropic
[00:13:17] substances was suppressed. Technical means, which customs
[00:13:20] authorities now possess, are the most
[00:13:23] modern. several dozen different
[00:13:27] types of technical control means, the most
[00:13:30] effective is, of course, our inspection complexes
[00:13:34] for scanning vehicles and goods.
[00:13:36] Even an ordinary seal, which we
[00:13:40] used for many decades,
[00:13:44] transformed into a technical
[00:13:47] device, a navigation device, the signal from
[00:13:50] which we can control throughout
[00:13:53] the territory of the Eurasian Union.
[00:13:57] Significant assistance is provided by inspection and screening complexes
[00:14:00] and the canine service. Attempts to import
[00:14:03] explosives are revealed. Last year, the import of almost
[00:14:07] 600 kg of highly powerful explosive
[00:14:10] was suppressed. Measures are also aimed at identifying
[00:14:14] violations and protecting the domestic market from counterfeiting and
[00:14:17] gray imports. Current areas of work: suppression of import
[00:14:21] and sale of drones and aircraft models. Counteraction
[00:14:24] to evasion. from customs payments, illegal
[00:14:27] movement of vehicles into the EU territory and much
[00:14:31] more. Belarus is working on supplying
[00:14:35] medical devices to the East African market. In Kenya,
[00:14:38] the international medical exhibition World Health
[00:14:41] Expo has ended. A number of our specialized companies presented their products and
[00:14:45] solutions. On the sidelines of the Expo, further cooperation with African
[00:14:49] partners was discussed. Kenya imports
[00:14:52] most of its medical devices for us.
[00:15:39] by the way, World Health Expo is held under the patronage of the Ministry
[00:15:43] of Health of Kenya, it is a key platform for establishing
[00:15:46] direct contacts with leading distributors and public customers
[00:15:50] of the East African region.
[00:15:53] Exchange of experience and consolidation of the professional community.
[00:15:57] The youth forum united about half a thousand doctors of the Minsk
[00:16:00] region. On one platform: chief doctors, trade union leaders and more than
[00:16:04] 300 young specialists. The main format of the meeting. Open
[00:16:08] microphone, where everyone could ask a question and discuss relevant
[00:16:11] topics with colleagues. My target work was already finished, but I
[00:16:15] stayed to work in my hospital, I really like it there, I like
[00:16:19] the team, I like my patients, in general I like my
[00:16:22] work, such a forum will be very useful for young specialists, where we
[00:16:26] can share some secrets, give some advice
[00:16:30] to the growing generation, which has just started working and prove
[00:16:33] that working in small towns is not scary at all, on the contrary ...
[00:16:37] it is an opportunity to become more independent, more confident in
[00:16:40] yourself and even to some extent to move up the career
[00:16:44] ladder, try yourself in various fields, not only in medicine.
[00:16:47] We communicate, exchange experience,
[00:16:51] position our healthcare systems, we really have
[00:16:54] something to be proud of, so when our future youth
[00:16:58] understand that our future doctors, the current
[00:17:02] youth will understand that it is necessary
[00:17:06] for them to set
