[00:00:44] On air News Primetime:
[00:00:48] Belarusian customs celebrates its 35th anniversary, the staff
[00:00:51] and veterans of the service were congratulated on the significant date, as well as on their professional
[00:00:55] holiday, Customs Officer's Day, by President Alexander
[00:00:58] Lukashenka. Today. The department is not a barrier for
[00:01:02] legal business, rather, it helps it operate under
[00:01:05] sanctions pressure and unstably functioning
[00:01:08] checkpoints from neighbors, reorienting
[00:01:11] flows, helping to find other markets, since a significant part
[00:01:15] now comes not from the European Union, but from Asian countries. At the same time,
[00:01:19] work at the border has not become calmer, smuggled goods
[00:01:22] and drugs are regularly detected, only in the last
[00:01:26] 5 years about 9 tons of imports were stopped...
[00:02:00] was formed into a technical device,
[00:02:03] a navigation device, a signal from which
[00:02:07] we can control throughout the entire territory of the Eurasian
[00:02:11] Union. Significant assistance is provided by
[00:02:14] inspection and screening complexes and the K-9
[00:02:17] service. Attempts to import explosives are detected. Last
[00:02:21] year, the import of almost 600 kg
[00:02:25] of particularly powerful explosives was stopped. Also, measures are aimed
[00:02:28] at identifying violations.
[00:03:38] September 17th is for Belarusians equal
[00:03:41] to the independence of our state, how does one feel for
[00:03:45] whom Belarus is created
[00:03:56] on the contrasts of the end of the week you won't work, this is it.
[00:04:01] A working trip to Shklov district, if something is needed, thank
[00:04:05] you for being there, watch the time of the first, without
[00:04:07] Cooper.
[00:04:14] Important political events in Russia, elections to the State
[00:04:18] Duma, voting by voters is organized in 152
[00:04:21] countries of the world. In Belarus, Russians can cast their votes at
[00:04:25] seven polling stations, and there is still time. The course of voting in
[00:04:29] the center.
[00:05:12] The polling station is located in the Lyceum of the Belarusian-Russian University,
[00:05:16] as well as in Bobruisk, in the building of the center for additional education of children and
[00:05:20] youth. Citizens of Russia come to Belarus to study,
[00:05:23] relax, launch joint productions, implement common
[00:05:27] projects, build families, and today they fulfill their civic
[00:05:31] duty. Today my daughter and I came to the polling station
[00:05:34] in Minsk, and we ourselves came from Kaliningrad
[00:05:38] to rest, and since it happened just right... A wave
[00:07:24] of protests covered several European countries this weekend,
[00:07:27] so the center of The Hague turned into a battlefield, the action
[00:07:30] of right-wing movements "We the People", directed against the migration policy
[00:07:34] of the Dutch authorities, turned into mass riots
[00:07:37] and clashes with the police, cordons blocked
[00:07:41] the streets of fleeing people...
[00:08:02] In the center of Berlin, another mass demonstration in support of
[00:08:05] Palestine and the residents of the Gaza Strip traditionally escalated into violent clashes
[00:08:09] with the police in France an attempt by the guard.
[00:08:34] economic problems, in France another historical maximum
[00:08:37] of diesel fuel prices has been recorded,
[00:08:41] the indicator has risen to an unprecedented 2 euros 41 cents per
[00:08:44] liter, at some gas stations the price is even approaching the 3 euro
[00:08:48] mark. Earlier, quite reasonably, Macron
[00:08:52] called fuel prices unbearable, he linked this to the blockade
[00:08:55] of the Strait of Hormuz and supply disruptions.
[00:08:58] However, the situation with the energy sector is deplorable throughout
[00:09:01] the EU. For example, Germany is also breaking
[00:09:04] records. There, the cost of diesel is even higher than in the Fifth
[00:09:08] Republic. The indicator exceeded the mark of 2 euros
[00:09:11] 47 cents. Historic growth in Switzerland
[00:09:14] in Italy, the authorities recognize the situation as so dangerous that
[00:09:18] they announced the adoption of emergency measures. Prime Minister
[00:09:21] Meloni introduced a moratorium on the collection of vehicle
[00:09:25] tax. She became one of the most
[00:09:29] recognizable women in the system of public administration of our
[00:09:32] country. Her professionalism was admired
[00:09:35] even by opponents. She rose from a legal adviser to
[00:09:39] the chairman of the Central Election Commission. Lidzia
[00:09:42] Yermoshina dedicated 25 years of her life to leading the
[00:09:45] Central Election Commission of Belarus on elections and
[00:09:49] conducting republican referendums. For
[00:09:52] 5 years now she has been on well-deserved retirement. How are her weekdays
[00:09:55] today, does she follow social networks and what does she think
[00:09:59] about the current Western elites? About this and not only
[00:10:02] the former head of the Central Election Commission will tell what she never spoke publicly about before,
[00:10:06] today on the first
[00:10:07] informational.
[00:11:30] So, next on the first informational project is
[00:11:33] Belarusian Woman. My colleagues will summarize the results of the week on the main broadcast on Belarus
[00:11:37] 1, and even more news on our website newsby on the multimedia portal videobel.
[00:14:59] Sand is the second most consumed resource on the planet after
[00:15:02] water, it runs out faster than it seems, in simple terms,
[00:15:06] there is a lot of sand in the world, of many types, but the overwhelming
[00:15:09] majority is not suitable for construction concrete, it turns out that the sand
[00:15:13] needed by humanity comes from rivers, whose total area
[00:15:16] is less than 1% of the Earth's
[00:15:19] surface. River sand is especially valued in construction, its grains
[00:15:23] provide the necessary friction and, unlike sea sand, do not contain
[00:15:26] salt. Smaller varieties of river sand are actively used
[00:15:30] for glass production, and the finest for creating solar panels and
[00:15:34] microchips. Since the beginning of the last century, global demand for...
[00:15:37] sand has increased by more than 23 times, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature. In some African countries, the entire
[00:15:43] sand extraction chain is controlled by cartels that
[00:15:46] use violence and intimidation, and widely use
[00:15:49] child labor. The UN has been sounding the alarm for several years. Illegal
[00:15:53] trade and the rapid increase in the use of river
[00:15:56] sand could lead to a shortage of this vital resource
[00:15:59] for construction by 2050.
[00:16:02] If the world does not limit extraction, it will be under threat.
[00:16:06] is, as it were, at the
[00:17:07] stage, again, in my opinion, it seems,
[00:17:11] of restoring mutual respect, well, the relationship
[00:17:14] between Trump and our president, who treat each other with respect,
[00:17:18] we see what is happening,
[00:17:21] yes, our president said, you don't choose your neighbors, we,
[00:17:24] by the way, are neighbors from God, from God, yes, and we are a European country,
[00:17:28] yes, I would say the only European
[00:17:31] country that is part of the SCO, yes, and this is, so
[00:17:35] to speak, a very important place
[00:17:38] in the logistics chain, including trade and economic
[00:17:41] ties of countries
[00:17:44] of the Far East, of this
[00:17:47] South, of the Far East, here
[00:17:50] we are at a very important crossroads,
[00:17:53] yes, in my opinion, no matter
[00:17:56] how it all happens, the prospect for those
[00:17:59] same Europeans, including, for cooperation only,
[00:18:03] yes, and we don't need to convince
[00:18:06] anyone, life itself puts everything
[00:18:09] in its place, we see what Lithuanian ports have turned into,
[00:18:13] which were used for the transit of
[00:18:16] our, yes, our potash, our fertilizers and
[00:18:19] generally as a transit
[00:18:22] of goods, from China, from China, here
[00:18:25] is the Silk Road, yes, now there will be the Siberian Silk
[00:18:29] Road, which will go by sea -
[00:18:33] through, that is, the situation, in my opinion,
[00:18:36] it is indeed... as our president correctly emphasized, we should
[00:18:40] not be content with what we have
[00:18:43] with loud statements, we should, we, these are the SCO countries
[00:18:46] including, actively work, promote,
[00:18:50] promote this agenda, then everything will work out, one of
[00:18:54] the examples, this is
[00:18:56] the final declaration, for the first time a statement appeared
[00:19:00] from the SCO countries, which is,
[00:19:04] what I would like to highlight. here is the SCO,
[00:19:08] yes, but the states, the interests of some of
[00:19:11] them, they are absolutely contradictory, I will not
[00:19:15] name these states, well, for example, but everyone wants
[00:19:19] peace and stability, yes, despite the relations,
[00:19:22] for example, between India and Pakistan within the SCO they cooperate
[00:19:25] and there was Modi
[00:19:29] and the President of Pakistan
[00:19:31] together
[00:19:34] at this wonderful anniversary summit.
[00:19:38] Everyone communicated, but yes, the most important thing is that you can
[00:19:41] find, yes, different religions, that is, you can say that different
[00:19:45] mentalities, the SCO unites, and does not divide, including
[00:19:48] economies, politicians, culture and others, generally everything,
[00:19:52] I think it is a very important center, which, among
[00:19:55] other things, contributes
[00:19:58] to raising the current authority of the United
[00:20:02] Nations, that authority, those problems that
[00:20:05] are now... literally shaking
[00:20:09] the United Nations, we know what statements are made there
[00:20:12] who there tries
[00:20:15] to steer the agenda, who steers, but I think
[00:20:18] that the greater the weight of the SCO, well, it will
[00:20:22] grow, the more the authority
[00:20:26] of the United Nations will strengthen, our president emphasized
[00:20:29] this.
