[00:00:33] J.D. Vance may head the U.S. delegation if
[00:00:36] talks with Iran resume. In Serbia, a repeat vote will be held on November 1,
[00:00:39] and Volkswagen's losses have grown to almost
[00:00:43] 6 billion euros amid falling sales in China. First
[00:00:47] news is back live.
[00:00:50] Belarus is always open for cooperation with Russian regions, and interaction
[00:00:54] along the Union line was discussed today at the Palace of Independence. Our
[00:00:58] president held a meeting with the Republic of Altai, a
[00:01:01] picturesque mountainous region in Southern Siberia. Alexander Lukashenka
[00:01:05] has heard about its beauty. Tourism and agriculture are mainly developed
[00:01:08] here. This is the defining direction of our
[00:01:12] mutual interests. We trade with Gorno-Altaisk in
[00:01:16] small volumes, but there are opportunities for expanding economic
[00:01:19] contacts. For this, Andrey Turchak came to Minsk
[00:01:23] to discuss prospective areas of cooperation. The
[00:01:26] visit program is extensive; guests visited pharmaceutical enterprises and production facilities
[00:01:30] of municipal and road equipment. I
[00:01:33] know your region geographically and historically
[00:01:36] quite well, although I've never been there, even though the Russian president
[00:01:39] invited me several times, saying, "Let's go,
[00:01:43] I'll show you the beauty." Well, Russia has an enormous number
[00:01:47] of such beauties, so
[00:01:51] the southern part of Siberia is a very interesting
[00:01:54] region, and the tourist direction is very
[00:01:57] interesting to our people mutually.
[00:03:30] at arm's length. Yesterday we held,
[00:03:33] thank you, quite a busy day, got acquainted with a number
[00:03:36] of your enterprises that have, I believe, some of
[00:03:40] the best competencies in the world, these are both
[00:03:43] Belmedpreparaty,
[00:03:45] and Amkodor, well-known for its equipment, and
[00:03:48] a company producing unmanned aerial vehicles,
[00:03:52] including civilian applications, and
[00:03:55] the production of armaments, military equipment. This was also very
[00:03:59] useful for me. Minsk is ready to strengthen ties in
[00:04:02] various spheres, from food supplies to the promotion
[00:04:06] of tourism services. More detailed directions for interaction will be discussed in
[00:04:09] the government, where a working group meeting on cooperation between Belarus and
[00:04:12] the Republic
[00:04:13] of Altai will be held.
[00:04:19] In the city of Oleshki, Kherson region, the ceasefire regime continues to be in effect,
[00:04:23] within which a large humanitarian mission is taking place.
[00:04:27] Its primary goal is mine clearance of roads, ensuring
[00:04:30] safe corridors for the evacuation of peaceful
[00:04:33] residents. Each resident will be given the right to choose the direction
[00:04:37] towards Russia or Ukraine. Russian
[00:04:39] Ministry of Defense representatives specified that most mines
[00:04:42] are predominantly Western-made. Sappers
[00:04:45] destroy them on site. The main
[00:04:48] task is to clear roads of explosive objects in order
[00:04:52] for a safe convoy with humanitarian
[00:04:55] aid to pass. The density of mines in this
[00:04:58] area is very high.
[00:05:13] According to Yana Lantratova, the mission also involves the delivery of food, water,
[00:05:17] hygiene products, and the provision of medical
[00:05:20] assistance
[00:05:22] to local residents. The start of large-scale mine clearance operations
[00:05:25] on access roads to Oleshki opened a new
[00:05:28] chapter in the humanitarian mission, where the Gomel
[00:05:32] region became the starting point for face-to-face contacts and coordination
[00:05:35] of the parties. Today, delegations of both sides, led by human rights commissioners, arrived in Belarus
[00:05:39] to establish safe routes for evacuation.
[00:05:43] This very fact once again
[00:05:46] underscores the essence of the Belarusian character. Our
[00:05:49] country welcomes people as a truly warm and
[00:05:52] native home, where they are genuinely ready to help everyone who
[00:05:56] is in trouble.
[00:05:59] In Spain, a 24-hour strike by train drivers
[00:06:02] has been announced. According to the union, it will affect
[00:06:05] high-speed, intercity, medium-haul, and
[00:06:08] suburban rail transport. In this regard, disruptions are possible in...
[00:06:42] are considered missing.
[00:06:46] Europeans are preparing for a cold winter. More than 50,000 residents
[00:06:50] will not be able to pay for heating. These alarming calculations were presented
[00:06:53] by the European Commissioner for Energy. He also emphasized that the current crisis
[00:06:57] threatens the competitiveness of the EU economy. At the same time,
[00:07:00] the European Commission does not expect interruptions in fuel supplies this winter,
[00:07:04] but expects very high prices for it. Utility bills
[00:07:08] will become heavier. However, Europeans have already felt
[00:07:11] the burden on their wallets. According to sociological surveys, at the beginning of the heating season, for more than
[00:07:15] 70% of Poles, payments for gas,
[00:07:18] electricity, and heating increased, and bills in Poland and Lithuania will rise
[00:07:22] by at least another 20%. The situation
[00:07:25] is exacerbated by the fact that protection programs for low-income populations
[00:07:28] have ended, and citizens are entering the new heating season
[00:07:31] without state
[00:07:34] support.
[00:07:37] The European Union's green climate policy has led to a number of major
[00:07:41] structural problems.
[00:08:13] for example, we should have taken
[00:08:16] something like, for example, what the People's
[00:08:20] Republic of China did, where policies are planned
[00:08:24] and have long-term prospects.
[00:08:27] In Europe's case, it was not centralized
[00:08:30] at all, not planned
[00:08:33] at all, but rather it's some kind of
[00:08:36] ideology placed above
[00:08:40] laws without any connection to the real
[00:08:43] economy, to the true economy.
[00:08:47] Therefore, it should have been done differently.
[00:08:50] Now we see
[00:08:52] the consequences.
