[00:05:29] The planet is facing a new large-scale crisis. The global
[00:05:32] energy market has recognized the onset of a great
[00:05:35] fuel crisis. The paradox of the indomitable: airstrikes on
[00:05:39] Yemeni Houthis only increase their strength and...
[00:05:43] The European crisis has a female face.
[00:05:46] Officially christened Madame Nauseating Catastrophe. These
[00:05:50] in the type of Bushy: an outbreak of a deadly infection in
[00:05:53] Nepal. This is around the planet. In the studio, Daria Tarasova and
[00:05:57] Evgeny Belousov. We will tell you about the most important and interesting. Hello.
[00:06:17] Global oil reserves are depleted, and reserve
[00:06:20] mechanisms are completely exhausted. American
[00:06:23] oil companies announced that they had been warning about a global
[00:06:27] fuel crisis for several months in a row. Now
[00:06:31] this crisis has arrived. The conflict in the
[00:06:34] Middle East has triggered the most catastrophic development
[00:06:37] of events. The global market lost 2.5 million
[00:06:41] barrels per day. US strategic oil reserves
[00:06:44] are dwindling. In a month, diesel fuel there has risen by
[00:06:48] 14%, and in a year by more than 60%.
[00:06:51] The fuel crisis threatens global upheavals,
[00:06:54] the consequences of which are impossible to
[00:06:57] imagine. The UN predicts that summer
[00:07:00] climatic cataclysms, combined with the fuel shock, could
[00:07:03] completely nullify the economic growth of the Eurozone in the current
[00:07:07] year. However, the crisis threatens to lead to other
[00:07:10] consequences. We will continue the topic. Tatyana
[00:07:13] Volkova. Fuel reserves in the world
[00:07:16] have been decreasing for more than half a year, and strategic reserves can no longer
[00:07:20] compensate for the deficit. Against this background, the price
[00:07:23] of oil is about 110 dollars, and gas is 100 dollars per thousand
[00:07:26] cubic meters. The American Wall Street Journal, citing oil company heads,
[00:07:30] warns the planet about the beginning of a global fuel
[00:07:34] crisis. This became an inevitable consequence of events in the Middle East,
[00:07:38] especially after the attack on an oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, which deprived
[00:07:41] the global market of 2.5 million barrels of oil per day.
[00:07:45] Prices are breaking records. In the US, a liter of gasoline costs about
[00:07:49] 1 dollar and 20 cents. Diesel fuel - 1 dollar and
[00:07:52] 70 cents per liter. And this is at a time when the harvest of two crops critical
[00:07:56] to the country, soybeans and corn, is underway.
[00:07:59] We need to harvest crops, use equipment
[00:08:02] and diesel fuel. Ultimately, this hits our profits.
[00:08:06] The situation is already difficult. Sowing costs are rising, everything is getting more expensive,
[00:08:10] from chemicals to fertilizers.
[00:08:12] And now fuel too, which is especially noticeable during the harvest
[00:08:16] season. The US authorities are holding meetings with leaders
[00:08:19] of energy companies, calling for increased drilling and expanded
[00:08:23] oil production. At the same time, investments are being attracted
[00:08:26] to Venezuela, where America has control over part of the reserves. Against
[00:08:29] the backdrop of the price shock, the US president called on Moscow and Kyiv for an
[00:08:33] energy truce, but the global market continues
[00:08:37] to experience pressure. What this could lead to was clearly shown
[00:08:41] by protesters in Syria, where diesel suddenly rose by
[00:08:44] 40%, and gasoline by 20%. Burning tires,
[00:08:47] roadblocks, blocked oil tanker routes, and
[00:08:51] demands for the resignation of the leadership of the country's
[00:08:54] energy sector. We support the state and oppose
[00:08:57] vandalism and destruction, but honestly, I've gotten to the point where
[00:09:01] I can no longer afford to buy bread. The war in
[00:09:05] the Middle East has become a global test of strength for the energy
[00:09:08] stability of all countries. Now is the moment when reserves...
[00:09:12] are running out for the most prosperous. In Germany,
[00:09:15] the average price of diesel at gas stations reached a maximum,
[00:09:18] amounting to 2 euros and 45 cents per liter. The historical
[00:09:22] record was broken by E-10 gasoline, at 2 euros
[00:09:25] and 31 cents per liter. A liter of diesel fuel in France is 2
[00:09:29] cents more expensive. The cost of gasoline in some places reaches
[00:09:32] 3 euros per liter. I don't drive often, but I need
[00:09:36] a car, for example, when it's hard to walk or I need to go to
[00:09:39] the hospital. It's outrageous that fuel is so expensive,
[00:09:42] especially when you need it. Do you think
[00:09:45] the government is doing enough to lower prices? It's doing
[00:09:49] nothing at all. There is
[00:09:51] public transport, but it's difficult to use a car, considering how many
[00:09:55] people are here. I just try to drive as little as possible.
[00:09:59] France, along with Germany, holds record fuel prices in
[00:10:02] the European Union. The most affordable prices are at Total
[00:10:05] Energies gas stations, where there is a price cap, but speculative demand
[00:10:09] has led to a serious supply crisis. Almost
[00:10:13] 1.0 gas stations cannot cope with the flow of customers, and 10%
[00:10:16] of stations are without one type of fuel. The situation has become
[00:10:20] so acute that the French Minister of Energy was forced to publicly
[00:10:23] justify herself before the public.
[00:11:55] the state subjects French citizens
[00:11:58] to this. The issue of prices was raised in Germany. Finance
[00:12:02] Minister Lars Klingbeil proposed to levy a windfall tax on
[00:12:05] oil giants to finance assistance to citizens
[00:12:09] with this money. However, Chancellor Merz rejected the idea. At the same time,
[00:12:13] there is nothing to reduce fuel taxes or introduce discounts
[00:12:16] for car owners. All free money goes to defense.
[00:12:20] The head of the European Commission also added fuel to the fire
[00:12:23] of fuel battles, speaking
[00:12:28] Let me give you just one figure: since the beginning of the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:12:32] fossil fuel imports have cost us an additional
[00:12:35] 90 billion euros, while we have not received a single
[00:12:39] additional molecule of energy. To achieve
[00:12:41] energy independence, Fonderline proposed
[00:12:45] to double the volume of energy production in the EU
[00:12:48] by 2040. However, she was reminded in the hall
[00:12:52] that her proposals were precisely what led Europe to the current situation.
[00:13:55] You will have to answer to the people for this.
[00:13:58] Energy agencies predict that market tensions
[00:14:01] and increased fuel prices will persist at least until
[00:14:04] the end of 2026 and throughout
[00:14:07] 2027, as it is impossible to quickly restore
[00:14:11] logistical chains and the destroyed refinery infrastructure.
[00:14:14] And after the EU spent 90 billion
[00:14:17] euros on compensating energy imports,
[00:14:21] the room for maneuver for national authorities has been reduced to a minimum.
[00:14:56] the previous political system is truly cracking at the seams, leaders
[00:14:59] of the largest powers are breaking anti-records of popularity, collective
[00:15:03] sanctions hysteria, an energy deadlock, and serving foreign
[00:15:06] geopolitical interests have resulted in a catastrophic
[00:15:10] drop in public trust for European leaders.
[00:15:13] It has come to the point where government heads cancel important
[00:15:17] international visits just to hold on to their
[00:15:20] positions. In France, Macron is losing control over his own
[00:15:24] security forces. The streets of the Netherlands and Italy are gripped by mass
[00:15:27] protests. I will add that Great Britain is even on
[00:15:31] the verge of historical disintegration. Why has the ruling class of Europe
[00:15:34] lost trust and what is this leading to?
[00:15:41] Once, the Old World sincerely believed that a united Europe
[00:15:44] would give its citizens absolutely everything. For decades, Brussels
[00:15:48] sold the world an ideal picture: an unbreakable union, eternal
[00:15:51] prosperity, erased borders, and a social paradise where
[00:15:55] a decent life is guaranteed to everyone. Millions of people believed
[00:15:59] that this project was eternal, but the prosperous years have passed, and today,
[00:16:02] all that remains of the European dream is a deep systemic crisis,
[00:16:06] which analysts
[00:17:30] In her native Germany, almost half of the population,
[00:17:33] 45%, openly call her work
[00:17:36] a failure. Millions of people have to choose between
[00:17:39] food, housing, and travel, while billionaires continue
[00:17:43] to gorge themselves. Such is the state of your European
[00:17:46] Union, Ms. von der Leyen. It feels like you and I live on
[00:17:50] different planets. Where were you when Donald Trump threatened
[00:17:54] invasion to the whole world, including Canada and Greenland? Oh
[00:17:57] yes, you rushed to sign a free trade agreement and rolled out
[00:18:01] the red carpet for Donald Trump. The truth, Madam
[00:18:04] von der Leyen, is that you are erasing.
[00:18:10] The political elite of France is currently experiencing
[00:18:13] the strongest legitimacy crisis. President Macron's personal approval rating
[00:18:17] has plummeted to a catastrophic 16%. This
[00:18:20] is his lowest point throughout his time in power. Right now, Macron
[00:18:23] is losing his last, most reliable support - his own
[00:18:27] police force. The irony of fate is that these are the very people who
[00:18:30] for years rigorously contained the "Yellow Vest" assaults and
[00:18:34] literally saved the European Palace from popular anger.
[00:18:38] Hasn't the risk increased since 2019?
[00:18:42] The danger is constant, it is always hidden,
[00:18:45] present. The police are the last line of defense of society and
[00:18:48] the republic, yet, in the end, we do not reward them.
[00:18:52] Lack of resources is not an argument, it is an excuse. Let's
[00:18:56] stop using lack of resources as an excuse. Money
[00:18:59] is being wasted everywhere, either the government supports its
[00:19:03] police, or it doesn't. 5 years
[00:19:06] ago we voted in the National Assembly to allocate 15
[00:19:10] billion, but the government did not fulfill its promises, so
[00:19:14] if we pass laws, and the government does not ensure their
[00:19:18] enforcement, this is a serious problem. The police are treated
[00:19:21] like fools, and therefore they have the right to protest
[00:19:24] today. Paralyzed by fear, the main locomotive of the European
[00:19:28] economy - Germany. Chancellor Friedrich Merz,
[00:19:31] demonstratively canceling his important visit to New York for the UN General
[00:19:35] Assembly. World diplomacy waits. Merz stayed home to
[00:19:39] try to save his own seat amid a collapse in his personal
[00:19:42] rating to a critical 10%.
[00:19:45] He should leave, things are getting worse
[00:19:49] and worse at work, and he's constantly plotting something, for example, making
[00:19:52] people work longer, then inflation is really growing,
[00:19:56] every week in the Bundestag they talk nonsense.
[00:19:59] A lot of lies are being spread,
[00:20:02] some call Merz a lying chancellor, and this perfectly
[00:20:06] fits the description.
[00:20:38] Another electoral failure will automatically trigger the procedure
[00:20:41] for Merz's early resignation, and instead of applause in
[00:20:44] New York, he faces a difficult showdown with his own
[00:20:47] faction. National interest. none of the
[00:20:51] traditional, habitual parties
[00:20:54] defend it, neither the Greens, nor
[00:20:57] Merz's ruling party, nor any others, only
[00:21:00] the AfD openly and clearly speaks about what
[00:21:04] concerns a huge number of Germans, which is why they
[00:21:07] are winning, they are not some pro-Russian or whatever, they
[00:21:10] are pro-German. While the key EU capitals
[00:21:14] are paralyzed by internal fears, street riots
[00:21:17] are already raging in the union's countries. Italy is balancing
[00:21:21] on the brink of a harsh social explosion. Spaniards
[00:21:24] demand that borders be protected from migrants. In the Netherlands, people are protesting
[00:21:28] against NATO. Old slogans of European unity can no longer
[00:21:32] warm or feed people. I
[00:21:36] am against spending money on NATO. Now the government is forced to spend
[00:21:39] 5% of the budget on armaments to appease
[00:21:42] Trump, and this money does not go to ordinary people, it does not go to
[00:21:46] healthcare, it does not go to pensions, so it only goes to
[00:21:53] While the European Union risks losing stability, Great Britain risks losing itself.
[00:21:57] Instead of the promised prosperity after Brexit, London received
[00:22:00] a real parade of sovereignties. The national leaders of Scotland, Wales, and
[00:22:04] Northern Ireland formed a united front against English
[00:22:07] dominance. As part of the historic Cardiff
[00:22:10] agreement, they signed a joint declaration on the right to
[00:22:13] self-determination. The time of London's dictate is numbered, claim
[00:22:17] Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Belfast, and the new British
[00:22:21] is openly predicted to be the last head of government in the history
[00:22:25] of the once United Kingdom.
[00:22:28] Andy Burnham, as the new Prime Minister, said that
[00:22:31] Westminster is not working for the good of the people. I agree with this
[00:22:35] and I have often spoken about the need for a fundamental
[00:22:38] restructuring of relations between them. For me, this means
[00:22:41] recognizing the positive results that could be achieved
[00:22:45] through the cooperation of independent states
[00:22:48] on the basis of common principles. Absolutely, I am not
[00:22:51] an isolationist, I am an internationalist, I want
[00:22:54] to work with other countries on these islands and beyond,
[00:22:58] so I think there is a growing understanding that the current
[00:23:01] status quo is unsustainable.
[00:23:05] Fresh polls are shocking: a record 32% of Welsh
[00:23:08] residents are ready to vote for independence tomorrow, and
[00:23:11] support for secession in Scotland has grown to
[00:23:14] 47%. The British crown is literally
[00:23:17] crumbling before our eyes, like everything we have known
[00:23:21] for the last 30 years. Cracks on the political map of the Old World
[00:23:25] are getting deeper, and this process can no longer
[00:23:28] be stopped. Olga Davidovich, around
[00:23:31] the planet.
[00:23:36] Northern Yemen and the Houthis controlling it have
[00:23:39] powerfully intervened in the course of world politics. Now people,
[00:23:42] practically still living in conditions of a tribal
[00:23:45] system, determine who will be the planetary
[00:23:48] hegemon. The USA. China or Europe? But
[00:23:52] definitely not Europe anymore. Strikes on the Old World economy
[00:23:55] are coming from all sides, and the Houthis can only deliver, perhaps,
[00:23:58] the proverbial coup de grâce or mercy blow, which
[00:24:02] will finally end the agony of the agonizing EU.
[00:24:06] But how did it happen that the most influential, rich, and
[00:24:09] powerful countries could not cope with a peripheral,
[00:24:12] quasi-religious movement, which until recently practically
[00:24:16] had no access to the sea? Neither the States, nor the petromonarchs,
[00:24:20] nor Europe have broken the Houthis. The genie is out of the bottle
[00:24:23] and has become indomitable. Probably, since they can't
[00:24:27] conquer him, they will now try to buy him. There are simply no
[00:24:30] other options. The floor is given to Oleg Romanov. With the
[00:24:33] Houthis, the international community, in the person of several Arab monarchies,
[00:24:37] has been fighting for 15 years. This may seem strange, on one
[00:24:41] side of the front, inexhaustible financial
[00:24:44] and, since money is easily converted into mercenaries,
[00:24:47] human resources. On the other side of the front,
[00:24:50] numerous, large and small tribes, united only by
[00:24:54] faith in Allah and networked administrative
[00:24:57] structures, if simply put, in southern
[00:24:59] Yemen, expensive weapons, foreign contingents,
[00:25:03] planetary recognition of indigenous authorities as legitimate
[00:25:06] power. In the north of the country, the principle applies:
[00:25:19] game. The Houthis play chess with a baseball bat,
[00:25:23] football with a Kalashnikov, geopolitical maneuvers,
[00:25:26] shattering the most subtle calculations. Last
[00:25:29] week, their army captured the coast adjacent to the Bab-el-Mandeb
[00:25:32] Strait on the Red Sea.
[00:25:34] God is great, death to America,
[00:25:38] death to Israel, curse to the Jews, victory
[00:25:41] to Islam. Bab-el-Mandeb literally becomes the gates
[00:25:44] of universal sorrow. This is how, by the way, the name of the strait
[00:25:48] is translated from Arabic. By taking control of the narrow bottleneck through which
[00:25:52] tankers with Middle Eastern oil leave the Red Sea,
[00:25:55] the Houthis can at any moment cause Doomsday for
[00:25:58] the planet. Partial economic paralysis quickly transforms.
[00:26:05] The situation in Yemen is on the verge of full-scale
[00:26:07] escalation. However serious the disagreements may be, the parties
[00:26:11] must seek a solution through negotiations, not by
[00:26:14] military means. The immediate task for everyone is to exercise
[00:26:18] restraint and find a way to end the conflict
[00:26:21] as soon as possible.
[00:26:24] Rumors have already appeared that Bab Mandeb is mined. Most
[00:26:28] likely, this is a panicked exaggeration. For now,
[00:26:30] tankers are still passing through.
[00:27:10] Bab-el-Mandeb to close it if we wish. Our
[00:27:14] achievements in missile and aviation weapons allow
[00:27:17] us to do this at any moment. Our goal is not to close the strait, but
[00:27:21] to open it to everyone. Maritime shipping is restricted by Saudi
[00:27:25] Arabia and its allies. It is their armed forces that try
[00:27:29] to stop and sink Yemeni ships.
[00:27:33] And so, if the Bab-el- Mandeb sees 6-7 million
[00:27:36] barrels of oil less, then increasing the capacity of Hormuz
[00:27:40] by the same 6-7 million changes absolutely nothing for the world market.
[00:27:43] Let the Americans escort oil convoys from the Persian Gulf,
[00:27:46] but the consumer still receives about half of
[00:27:50] what he needs. Hence
[00:27:53] the nervous fits of the traders. For a week now,
[00:27:56] the price of a barrel has regularly soared to
[00:27:59] 110-115 dollars. It is not easy to understand
[00:28:03] why the desert warriors with Kalashnikovs suddenly gained such power
[00:28:06] over the world. Here is some knowledge, drawn from personal
[00:28:10] experience, that will explain, if not everything, then some things. I
[00:28:13] arrived in Yemen shortly before the civil war, which politically split
[00:28:17] the country in two, into north and south.
[00:28:20] The country was poor, constantly on the verge of famine, but
[00:30:45] are helped with weapons by Iranians, however, some production
[00:30:48] is established in northern Yemen itself: the simplest
[00:30:51] rockets, the simplest ammunition, the cheapest
[00:30:54] drones, and this is sometimes enough to
[00:30:57] deal with any cunning modern technology, including
[00:31:01] American fighter jets.
[00:31:03] In the face of brutal aggression against our country and people,
[00:31:07] the Yemeni armed forces, by the grace of Allah, shot down a Saudi
[00:31:10] F-15 fighter jet. It was providing air support to
[00:31:13] the occupation forces.
[00:31:22] Yemen and its archaic tribal structure determine everything
[00:31:26] here: attitude to life and death, to God and enemy, to
[00:31:29] their own and strangers. For example, everyone in the world knows about Osama bin Laden,
[00:31:33] but few probably know that his family hails from
[00:31:37] Yemen. Moreover, in the Hadhramaut province, numerous cousins, nephews,
[00:31:40] uncles, as well as other
[00:32:27] crisscrossed by gorges. These places are so secluded that
[00:32:31] American intelligence believes that Al-Qaeda is now
[00:32:34] nesting here. And 15 years ago, buses with tourists
[00:32:54] It is also called the Arabian Manhattan. Clay
[00:32:58] ten-story buildings began to be built here in the
[00:33:00] Middle Ages. Scientists still have not decided what the thousand-year-old
[00:33:04] Shibam should be considered. On the one hand, there is a version that
[00:33:07] the need to save living space forced
[00:33:11] the builders of Shibam to build their dwellings upwards, but... it is quite
[00:33:17] spacious, it could well have been built as single-story, without
[00:33:21] solving complex engineering and technical problems. There is a version
[00:33:24] that these buildings are so high to solve
[00:33:28] some defensive tasks, but this hypothesis also does not look
[00:33:31] convincing. The fact is that the walls of Shibam's skyscrapers
[00:33:35] are built of clay, and wood is used as
[00:33:38] reinforcement. Accordingly, it is equally easy to break a wall in a single-story
[00:33:41] or multi-story building. That is why Shibam still stands today.
[00:33:54] They are inhabited
[00:33:54] by people
[00:33:58] for whom the desert, a camel, and an automatic rifle are more appealing
[00:34:02] than any communal amenities. The indigenous people are always ready to return to
[00:34:05] the nomad's tent. It is impossible to subdue these people with
[00:34:09] the instruments of remote warfare. In place of
[00:34:12] fallen warriors, women are able to instantly...
[00:34:24] the number of locals, but there is not enough money to
[00:34:27] set up insurmountable barriers in the path of the ant-like
[00:34:31] hordes of desert warriors. The Houthis
[00:34:34] moved south in such crowds that the Saudi proxies either fled,
[00:34:38] or surrendered in captivity by whole corps. As it became
[00:34:41] known, Americans are already negotiating with the Houthis on regulations.
[00:34:56] The world is already seriously suffering from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. We cannot
[00:34:59] afford to add to this also problems in the Bab-el-Mandeb
[00:35:03] Strait. This will be a catastrophe for the whole world, and we are
[00:35:07] already seeing its first signs. Qatar urges everyone to use the tools
[00:35:11] of diplomacy. It is necessary to strive for a peaceful
[00:35:14] resolution of the conflict through dialogue. This
[00:35:17] is quite feasible, because in the end, an agreement will still have
[00:35:20] to be reached. Qatar is diligently working with all
[00:35:23] parties. The story of the Houthi military successes awakened
[00:35:27] creative itching in conspiracy theorists.
[00:35:29] It is known that Middle Eastern oil was sent to Europe,
[00:35:33] India, and China. But are the problems with its
[00:35:36] export really so troubling to Americans? Or perhaps
[00:35:39] the Yankees are precisely persistently provoking
[00:35:42] these problems? Here is the same aggressor.
[00:36:27] In monsoon zones, the risk of infection is especially high. Humidity and dense
[00:36:31] vegetation create favorable conditions for the spread of
[00:36:34] the disease. Untimely assistance leads to
[00:36:38] severe complications. work or food,
[00:36:42] more than a hundred people have fallen ill, and fatal
[00:36:45] outcomes are being recorded. Doctors are conducting express tests to detect
[00:36:48] infected individuals and are opening mobile aid points, but they have
[00:36:52] not yet managed to bring the outbreak under control. Daily,
[00:36:55] three to four new patients are identified. Anna
[00:36:59] Ivanova's report. Since ancient times, it has been considered a disease
[00:37:03] of wars, poverty, and devastation. The first detailed descriptions of epidemic
[00:37:06] typhus appeared in Europe as early as the 15th century.
[00:37:10] The peak incidence occurred in
[00:37:12] 1489-1490.
[00:37:15] The final stage of the Granada War. At that time, the infection claimed
[00:37:19] many more lives than battles. At least 17
[00:37:22] soldiers died from typhus. In those days, humanity
[00:37:26] knew nothing about pathogens, carriers, let alone
[00:37:30] methods of treating this disease. Nowadays, despite
[00:37:33] modern medicine's ability to successfully diagnose and treat
[00:37:36] this ailment, humanity is not fully protected. A vivid
[00:37:40] confirmation of this came from alarming news from Nepal, barely recovered
[00:37:43] after the catastrophic flooding. In the west of the country, in
[00:37:47] the mountainous region of Salyan, a rapid outbreak of
[00:37:50] scrub typhus was recorded. In just the rural municipality of
[00:37:54] Darma, in just 3 weeks, the dangerous diagnosis was confirmed
[00:37:57] in more than 100 local residents. Unfortunately, even with
[00:38:00] the capabilities of modern medicine, it is not possible to provide prompt help
[00:38:04] to everyone. Several people died from complications.
[00:38:07] Potential patients seek help too late, do not have access to tests, and more
[00:38:11] often try to treat themselves. In short, the actual number of infected
[00:38:14] may be higher. Currently, additional medical teams have been sent
[00:38:18] to the region to stop the further spread
[00:38:22] of the disease. The Nepalese outbreak of scrub typhus has
[00:38:25] a purely natural character; the
[00:38:28] disease is caused by bacteria that enter the body through the bite of a
[00:38:32] chigger, a microscopic tick larva. Infected
[00:38:35] people are not dangerous to a healthy person; the danger is localized
[00:38:39] in forested areas and fields; chiggers lie in wait for their
[00:38:42] victims in grass and bushes, and favorable conditions for the life
[00:38:46] of the infection are created by the monsoon season, which continues in Nepal
[00:38:50] from June to September. The main carriers and
[00:38:53] natural hosts of these parasites are common
[00:38:56] rodents. The infection is transmitted by ticks
[00:39:00] that widely inhabit forests and dense thickets; it is there
[00:39:03] that carriers attack people, spreading the disease.
[00:39:07] The symptoms of scrub typhus are extremely severe. The disease
[00:39:10] begins with severe body aches, especially in the arms and legs. Then
[00:39:13] the skin becomes inflamed, tormenting headaches occur,
[00:39:17] the mucous membrane of the mouth swells, appetite is lost,
[00:39:20] and sharp abdominal pains appear. To protect yourself,
[00:39:23] it is extremely important to clean up household plots and thoroughly
[00:39:26] clear surrounding bushes. This is vitally
[00:39:30] important for local residents and farmers who are forced to
[00:39:33] regularly go into the forest for
[00:39:36] as they are at the highest risk. The main
[00:39:40] problem is that the disease can easily be mistaken for a cold, flu, common seasonal
[00:39:44] fever, or another infection. Therefore, doctors
[00:39:47] urge not to self-medicate. If the temperature
[00:39:50] persists and does not decrease after ordinary medications, it is necessary to
[00:39:54] see a doctor as soon as possible and get tested.
[00:39:58] At the site of the bite, a small exanthematous rash, about a centimeter wide,
[00:40:01] appears with a red or black raised bump.
[00:40:05] Anyone who has seen such a rash suspects typhus. If you
[00:40:08] see these symptoms, you should see a doctor. Typhus can be
[00:40:12] completely cured with common antibiotics. However, if not
[00:40:16] treated in time, typhus can cause a drop in blood
[00:40:19] pressure, kidney, and liver damage. Prevention in
[00:40:23] such areas begins with simple but vitally important
[00:40:26] things. In the rainy season, especially when
[00:40:30] working in the forest or fields, it is important to protect yourself from moisture, and also
[00:40:34] to definitely wear long-sleeved clothing and long
[00:40:37] pants. At the same time, there is not always a need to use harsh
[00:40:41] insecticides; it is enough to apply a special protective cream or
[00:40:45] repellent to exposed skin. Timely application
[00:40:48] of such simple precautions will help to
[00:40:51] avoid bites and subsequent treatment.
[00:40:55] The Nepalese story is a loud reminder that in the 21st century
[00:40:59] humanity is still dependent on natural dangers, even in the age of
[00:41:02] high technologies and cosmic achievements, humanity remains
[00:41:06] vulnerable to diseases that raged 5 centuries
[00:41:10] ago. Smallpox has been defeated by global vaccination, but malaria,
[00:41:13] dengue fever, tick-borne encephalitis, measles, and typhus
[00:41:16] still test healthcare systems. For example, in
[00:41:20] Bangladesh, there is a measles outbreak among children. More than
[00:41:23] 160 thousand suspected cases have already been recorded, of which about.
[00:42:52] The World Health Organization notes that infections
[00:42:56] transmitted by vectors cause more than
[00:43:00] 7,000 deaths worldwide annually. Anna Ivanova around
[00:43:04] the planet.
[00:49:05] At the invitation of the Council of the Republic of Minsk, a delegation of the All-China Committee of the Chinese People's
[00:49:09] Political Consultative Conference visited with a working
[00:49:13] visit. The high level of partnership between Belarus and
[00:49:16] China is largely due to the leaders of the two
[00:49:19] states. The parties agreed to strengthen cooperation between.
[00:50:22] reach a qualitatively new level of investment and tourism
[00:50:26] cooperation with different countries. This includes the creation of joint industrial
[00:50:29] enterprises, as well as.
