[00:00:44] You are watching the news about the event development, I, Elizaveta Lokotko, will tell you. In this
[00:00:47] issue, the fight against cross-border
[00:00:51] crime, protection of the domestic market from counterfeits. Today
[00:00:55] is the 35th anniversary of the customs service and a professional
[00:00:58] holiday for employees.
[00:01:00] Voter turnout in the elections to the State Duma exceeded
[00:01:03] 50%. Russian citizens can cast their votes in
[00:01:07] Belarus until 8:00 p.m. And for sports news,
[00:01:10] HC Dinamo hosts Avtomobilist in the regular
[00:01:13] championship. The live broadcast will be shown on Belarus
[00:01:16] 5 TV channel.
[00:01:19] Belarusian customs today celebrates its 35th anniversary. A new
[00:01:23] chapter in the history of domestic customs began in
[00:01:26] difficult conditions of changing eras, simultaneously with the acquisition
[00:01:30] of independence by our country, noted the head of state in
[00:01:33] his congratulatory message to representatives and veterans of the industry.
[00:01:37] In three and a half decades, a reliable system has been created almost from scratch,
[00:01:41] which our state is rightly proud of today.
[00:01:45] Having undergone an impressive path of modernization, Belarusian
[00:01:47] customs has transformed into a high-tech tool
[00:01:51] for protecting the country's economic interests and combating cross-border
[00:01:55] crime. Thanks to the professionalism, adherence to principles
[00:01:58] and loyalty to duty of employees, as well as
[00:02:01] continuous improvement of control and effective
[00:02:04] implementation of digital technologies, stable replenishment
[00:02:08] of the republican budget is ensured, favorable conditions
[00:02:12] are created for foreign economic activity. I am confident that
[00:02:16] relying on rich experience, employees of Belarusian customs will continue
[00:02:20] to perform their assigned tasks at the highest level,
[00:02:23] emphasized Alexander Lukashenko. Today,
[00:02:27] the department is not a barrier to legal activities. Rather,
[00:02:30] on the contrary, it helps it work in conditions of sanctions
[00:02:33] pressure and unstable functioning checkpoints
[00:02:37] from the neighboring countries, reorienting flows, helping
[00:02:40] to find other markets, since a significant part now
[00:02:43] comes not from the European Union, but from Asia. At the same time,
[00:02:47] it cannot be said that working at the border, that working at the border
[00:02:51] has become calmer. Contraband goods and
[00:02:54] narcotics are regularly detected here. Only in the
[00:02:57] last 5 years, hundreds
[00:03:30] of years ago, has it transformed into a technical
[00:03:33] device, a navigation device, a signal from
[00:03:37] which we can control throughout
[00:03:41] the Eurasian Union.
[00:03:44] Inspection and screening complexes and canine
[00:03:47] services provide significant assistance. Attempts
[00:03:51] to import explosives are detected. Last year, the import of almost
[00:03:54] 600 kg of particularly powerful explosive
[00:03:57] substances was prevented. Measures are also
[00:04:00] aimed at detecting violations, protecting the domestic market from
[00:04:04] counterfeits and gray imports. Current
[00:04:07] areas of work include preventing the import and sale of drones,
[00:04:11] model aircraft, combating evasion of customs
[00:04:14] duties, illegal movement of vehicles
[00:04:18] into the EU, and much
[00:04:20] more.
[00:04:23] The first week is festive and working. The Day
[00:04:26] of National Unity, a large youth forum. And
[00:04:30] less than a day later, a working trip to the Mogilev
[00:04:33] region. In the middle of the week, we found out what
[00:04:36] Washington wants. At first, we thanked those who
[00:04:40] work for results without weekends. The official
[00:04:44] agenda and backrooms, everything was collected by our colleagues in the "Time
[00:04:48] of the First" section. Watch it today on the main broadcast on Belarus
[00:04:51] 1, the week
[00:04:53] of the first.
[00:05:00] State awards, as Terkin said, I agree to a medal,
[00:05:03] but orders are not bad either, opening the celebration of National Unity Day,
[00:05:06] so that we can be called
[00:05:09] people, American negotiations, hello. From
[00:05:12] the President of the United States, he supports
[00:05:16] everything we do.
[00:05:19] New participants.
[00:05:23] And the states lift
[00:05:24] sanctions.
[00:05:29] September 17th for Belarusians is equal
[00:05:32] to the independence of our state. How does one feel
[00:05:35] for whom Belarus is being created?
[00:05:37] Беларусь.
[00:05:47] In contrast, the difficulties of the end of the week, you will not work, I tell you,
[00:05:50] a working trip to Shklovsky district, if something
[00:05:54] is needed, thank you for being there, watch, the time of the first,
[00:05:58] without money,
[00:06:06] today in Russia is the final and main day of voting in the
[00:06:09] elections to the State Duma, turnout is high under the... Only in the
[00:06:13] previous 2 days, over 40%
[00:06:16] of the population cast their votes, and today it
[00:06:19] exceeded 50%. Across the country, about
[00:06:23] 90 thousand polling stations are open, 400
[00:06:26] are located in Moscow and Moscow region, volunteers
[00:06:29] from the election observation situational center headquarters
[00:06:32] monitor their work in real time. At
[00:06:36] the moment, over 3 million
[00:06:39] ballots have already been issued in the capital. In addition, the situation at the polling stations is also being monitored.
[00:06:51] in Russia and deputies of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union
[00:06:54] State. No one bothers us, everywhere we are
[00:06:58] kindly received, everything is told, everything
[00:07:02] is shown, when moving around the Moscow
[00:07:06] region and Moscow, we choose the polling stations ourselves, we
[00:07:09] come, we look at the polling station, we go in. somewhere
[00:07:13] they perceive with surprise where we came from,
[00:07:17] but that's normal. We talked, by the way, with voters,
[00:07:21] we really feel such a good mood,
[00:07:24] people come responsibly to fulfill
[00:07:27] their duty to the country in which
[00:07:31] they live. Well, for example, I like that voters
[00:07:35] have the right to choose, if you want, you can vote
[00:07:37] remotely, if you want, you can come to the polling station
[00:07:41] in the old classical way.
[00:09:22] The center of The Hague turned into a battlefield. The action of right-wing movements
[00:09:26] "We are the people" turned into massive riots and clashes
[00:09:29] with the police. The plan to hold a full-fledged march
[00:09:32] failed. Cordon lines blocked the streets, and fleeing
[00:09:36] activists were twisted to the ground. The authorities deployed
[00:09:39] mounted police, special forces, and water cannons.
[00:09:55] I should note that The Hague has long been famous for its harsh
[00:09:57] police crackdowns. Here, traditionally,
[00:10:00] any unauthorized marches, whether by right-wing
[00:10:04] radicals or left-wing anarchists, are suppressed
[00:10:07] uncompromisingly.
[00:10:10] In France, another historical maximum
[00:10:13] for diesel fuel prices was recorded. The indicator rose to an
[00:10:17] unprecedented 2 euros 41 cents per
[00:10:19] liter. At some gas stations, the price even approaches
[00:10:23] the 3-euro mark. Earlier, Macron reasonably
[00:10:27] called fuel prices unbearable. He linked this to the blockade
[00:10:30] of the Strait of Hormuz and supply disruptions. According
[00:10:34] to the French president, the authorities are forced to constantly
[00:10:37] work to reduce tensions and ensure oil supplies.
[00:10:41] However, the situation with the energy sector is deplorable throughout
[00:10:44] the EU. For example, Germany is also breaking records; there,
[00:10:47] the price of diesel is even higher than in the Fifth Republic,
[00:10:51] the indicator exceeded the 2 euros 47 cents mark.
[00:10:55] Historical growth in Switzerland and Italy.
[00:10:58] The authorities recognize the situation as so dangerous that they announced
[00:11:02] the adoption of emergency measures. Prime Minister Meloni
[00:11:05] introduced a moratorium on the collection of transport
[00:11:08] tax.
[00:11:11] A shocking number of Latvians literally found themselves on the brink
[00:11:14] of poverty. According to official data, about two-thirds of families in
[00:11:17] the country are barely making ends meet. Alarming reports were announced by
[00:11:21] the Ministry of Welfare in a report on youth development and...
[00:11:25] People lack money for basic needs, including paying
[00:11:29] rising utility bills, housing rent,
[00:11:32] and food purchases. At the same time, financial difficulties
[00:11:35] are experienced in all regions of the Baltic republic.
[00:11:39] Moreover, economists warn of an impending new
[00:11:42] wave of inflation due to the rapid increase in energy
[00:11:45] costs. Currently, oil has surpassed the psychological
[00:11:49] mark of 100 dollars per barrel. Measures previously taken
[00:11:52] to curb prices have exhausted themselves, showing extremely
[00:11:56] dubious
[00:11:57] effectiveness.
[00:12:01] Careful attitude, care, preservation
[00:12:04] of Belarusian nature. Today in Belarus, Forest Workers' Day
[00:12:07] is celebrated. These are those who are daily guarding
[00:12:10] forests, which, by the way, occupy more than 40% of our
[00:12:14] country's territory. The industry
[00:12:17] combines long-standing traditions and modern technologies, from
[00:12:21] digital monitoring to advanced nurseries.
[00:12:25] This year, the department also celebrates its 90th
[00:12:28] anniversary. The result of such long-term work is at least
[00:12:31] 30,000 hectares of new
[00:12:33] plantations. About those whose labor and care
[00:12:37] preserve and multiply the country's national wealth in
[00:12:40] Polina
[00:12:41] Beresneva's report.
[00:12:47] The lungs of Europe, such a worthy status is held by Belarusian forests,
[00:12:51] their area is increasing. This is evidenced by the figures in comparison. With
[00:12:55] last year, the number of forest tracts in the country increased by
[00:12:58] 2%. And these are not only commercial forests,
[00:13:02] but nature reserves, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and
[00:13:05] natural monuments. If we examine the regions in detail, Gomel Oblast
[00:13:09] maintains leadership. Here, forests cover almost
[00:13:12] 47% of the territory. In Vitebsk, the indicator reaches slightly
[00:13:16] more than 42%, in Mogilev about 40%.
[00:13:19] The forest cover of the central region is slightly more than
[00:13:22] 38.5%.
[00:13:24] And in the Brest and Grodno regions, the indicator is slightly above
[00:13:27] 36.
[00:13:31] But behind every figure lies the daily work of specialists, which combines
[00:13:35] modern approaches and state support. As a
[00:13:38] result, we get the preservation and multiplication of one of the main
[00:13:42] national treasures of the Belarusian forest. My whole life is connected with
[00:13:45] the forest. I have been working in forestry since eighty-three.
[00:13:49] That is 43 years,
[00:13:53] and my father also worked.
[00:14:25] more like a plant nursery supplies young trees all over the country, in
[00:14:28] general, about 350 million seedlings are grown annually in the republic,
[00:14:31] and the volume of planting material production from
[00:14:35] a closed root system has increased sevenfold
[00:14:38] since 2010. The work is hard and
[00:14:41] interesting, you learn a lot of new things. What does
[00:14:45] a farm, a nursery in particular, mean to you?
[00:14:49] I compare it to my children, everything starts with
[00:14:52] a seed, starting to grow, bringing joy to the soul.
[00:15:25] will see for many, many years, but green temples are not only natural
[00:15:28] wealth and ecology, but also a part of the economic sector. Timber
[00:15:32] goes to furniture and paper production, raw material residues
[00:15:36] are processed into pellets. It fights well,
[00:16:12] more than one hectare
[00:16:27] of forest per capita, an indicator that many states
[00:16:31] cannot boast of. Over the past three decades, not only have
[00:16:35] timber reserves significantly increased in the country, but also the volume of its
[00:16:38] deep processing. This success is proof that Belarus
[00:16:42] is among the top ten forest states
[00:16:45] in Europe. Today, forest workers receive words
[00:16:48] of gratitude and congratulations. To which we also join. Polina
[00:16:52] Beresneva, Ilya Maximov, First
[00:16:54] Informational.
[00:16:56] In Belarus, over 3,500 road accidents involving
[00:17:00] wild animals have been recorded in the first 8 months of this year,
[00:17:03] which is 7% more than a year earlier. The main part
[00:17:07] falls on moose and roe deer. It is also concerning that
[00:17:11] bears have started to get under car wheels. The number of bears
[00:17:14] in the country is also growing. In addition, today we more often observe
[00:17:17] animals due to seasonal factors. Bears that
[00:17:20] approach humans are young animals that were driven away by females
[00:17:24] in anticipation of new offspring. That is, these bears have not
[00:17:28] yet occupied their own territory. In terms of time, this is
[00:17:31] exactly the end of spring, beginning of summer. Older males are most
[00:17:35] aggressive at this time, because they have their... at the end of May, in
[00:17:38] June, the rut occurs. Now the bear has a period of fattening, they
[00:17:42] actively gain fat before going into hibernation, so they
[00:17:46] actively feed. Where corn harvesting will take place, there
[00:17:49] may certainly be bears, but again, they are not aggressive,
[00:17:53] and in this case, they do not pose any
[00:17:55] danger. I note that officially, no
[00:17:59] cases of bear attacks on humans have been recorded in Belarus. You can
[00:18:03] find out about the reasons for the increase in the number of bears in the country today
[00:18:06] on the main broadcast on Belarus
[00:18:10] 1. The brightest vocalists from the northern region are lighting up Vitebsk
[00:18:14] today at the pre-casting of Factor.BY Children.
[00:18:17] Strong voices, charisma and a sincere desire to make themselves known
[00:18:21] throughout the country, this is what unites young artists, they sing
[00:18:24] A Capella. Many have already tried their hand during the first season
[00:18:28] and now came on stage more confident and motivated for
[00:19:07] No, but I really want to pass, because if I pass,
[00:19:10] then I will have many impressions, we watched with
[00:19:14] our parents in the evenings, how children perform on Factor.BY Children,
[00:19:17] I really like this whole atmosphere, I want to feel
[00:19:21] it too, the demand for participation in the Factor.BY Children show is getting higher and
[00:19:25] higher, especially after the simply overwhelming first season, in every
[00:19:28] city we have some top song that is repeated almost every
[00:19:32] five or six songs, but in reality the repertoire
[00:19:35] is diverse, on par with adults. Literally, children work.
[00:19:39] Vocalists aged 7 to 14 years old are expected on the project stage. Already
[00:19:43] next week, from September 23 to 27,
[00:19:47] the Factor.BY team will be working in
