[00:00:30] Westreet, himself an openly gay man, has his own
[00:00:34] husband, which, by the way, he doesn't hide, he's actually quite proud of it.
[00:00:37] He grew up in a not-so-rich family in East London, which
[00:00:41] doesn't matter. What's more, both on his father's side
[00:00:45] and his mother's side, he had criminals all around him. For those who are interested, you can google it. It's a difficult fate,
[00:00:48] you wouldn't wish it on anyone, especially since he was born into a family
[00:00:51] of teenagers - his mother was only 18 years old when he was born,
[00:00:55] and his father was only 17 years old. Well, his father immediately
[00:00:58] abandoned them, because everything... This
[00:01:12] person's activities can be summarized. What did he
[00:01:15] do when he came to this position in the Ministry of Defense?
[00:01:19] First of all, of course, he immediately blamed the Conservatives.
[00:01:22] Everything was ruined by the Conservatives. They
[00:01:26] turned our fleet into rusting ships. They essentially
[00:01:30] lowered the morale of our army. So we, the Labour Party, have returned,
[00:01:34] we know exactly what to do with our army, we will restore its former
[00:01:38] power, and not just us, we will make Britain great again, we will make
[00:01:41] Britain great again. And here's the approach connected to
[00:01:45] the fact that the Chief of the General Staff of the Ground Forces literally
[00:01:49] comes out and says: Our
[00:01:52] Britain must be ready for sacrifices, because
[00:01:55] the thousand-day period they set for themselves, and in 100 days they
[00:01:58] have already marked it as D-day, it's an opportunity to fight. Who do
[00:02:02] you think they're fighting? They always say with them, with those... Well,
[00:02:05] when Streeting gave an interview to
[00:02:09] The Telegraph, he mostly talked about Russia, and then
[00:02:12] something happened.
[00:02:15] No, well, the French, I don't know about the French, they're trying
[00:02:18] to be friends with the French. Something is happening in France now, only God
[00:02:22] knows. They tried to blame everything on Putin, but it didn't work.
[00:02:26] Now they have problems within themselves. Well, I think the Americans helped them out.
[00:03:00] After all, just 5-7 years ago,
[00:03:03] sociological studies showed that
[00:03:06] 70%, even 80%
[00:03:10] of Britons did not want to defend their Britain under any circumstances. Well, and Germany, if
[00:03:13] you look at sociological surveys, 5 years
[00:03:17] ago only 18% were ready to take up arms,
[00:03:21] and today it's already about 38%.
[00:03:24] This means that the programs they are carrying out to mobilize society
[00:03:27] are probably having an effect. And why do they need all this?
[00:03:31] Because if we look at all
[00:03:34] the conceptual documents, at the military strategies, we will clearly
[00:03:38] see that we are defined as adversaries, precisely as
[00:03:41] adversaries. We must be inflicted a strategic defeat.
[00:03:45] After all, it was Britain that formed
[00:03:48] the coalition of the willing together with France. This coalition
[00:03:52] of the willing was created precisely to
[00:03:55] end the conflict in Ukraine with the complete defeat
[00:03:58] of the Russian Federation.
[00:04:30] where practically all
[00:04:32] applications are classified. For 100
[00:04:36] years, in essence, Ukraine has been sold into slavery, or territories
[00:04:40] have been given away, or what's happening? Meetings, as we
[00:04:42] see, of Zelensky with Charles III. Well, Charles
[00:04:46] III only meets more often with Camilla, his wife, the Queen
[00:04:49] of Britain. In the literal sense of the word, as soon as they started talking
[00:04:53] about security, and even Zelensky's personal
[00:04:56] security, he didn't go to Poland to see Karol.
[00:05:42] we say, yes, Conservatives, Labour, mutual
[00:05:45] accusations, it's unclear. When we raise the issue
[00:05:48] of the British fleet, what the British press is discussing,
[00:05:51] rusting equipment, donor
[00:05:55] components, when they transfer equipment,
[00:05:58] spare parts from one piece of equipment to another, but it seems to me there's
[00:06:02] plenty of money, as people say, money to burn. Why then
[00:06:05] does this problematic situation arise? Is it some
[00:06:09] media bravado or is there a real reason for it?
[00:06:12] The national debt is 3 trillion pounds sterling, in my opinion,
[00:06:15] that's a crazy amount. They spend
[00:06:18] almost ten billion just on servicing
[00:06:21] the national debt. And today, if we look at the entire
[00:06:25] policy, which we are talking about, the strategy, and indeed the entire history of Great Britain
[00:06:29] has been built on constant plunder. I'm not talking about
[00:06:32] the contributions that we constantly pay
[00:06:35] to states that insure their companies, like
[00:06:38] Lloyds of London, so that they can
[00:06:42] enter various ports, through straits, bays,
[00:06:46] but their entire policy is aimed at
[00:06:49] plundering and killing.
[00:06:53] And today, when the question
[00:06:56] arises about the very existence
[00:06:59] of Britain as a state, from
[00:07:01] an economic point of view, it's not by chance that we've already heard about
[00:07:04] Scotland, about Wales, about Northern
[00:07:07] Ireland, which supposedly want to secede, then the British crown
[00:07:11] starts looking. Where to get money? And today, money can
[00:07:14] only be found where? In the East, where there is
[00:07:17] Belarus, where there is the Russian Federation, with its
[00:07:20] countless riches. They were the first to understand
[00:07:24] that, in essence, the European miracle is nothing
[00:07:28] more than free
[00:07:32] or, shall we say, inexpensive energy
[00:07:35] resources from the Russian Federation. That is what
[00:07:38] the bet is on today, but Britain is not going there first...
[00:07:41] No, the British and French are successfully pushing the Germans there, that is,
[00:07:44] a young state, I'm not saying this by chance, Germany is a young state, it
[00:07:48] appeared, by the way, only in the 19th century,
[00:07:52] and since then it has been periodically
[00:07:55] pushed there, all Drang nach Osten, yes, the Teutons
[00:07:59] are coming again, that is, they have such a mission
[00:08:03] for this, therefore
[00:08:05] Britain, it has taken, you know, such
[00:08:09] it is trying to take a leading position, but at the same time remain.
[00:08:42] And another priority task, it seems that despite all of Ukraine, which I
[00:08:46] associate with having its hands tied, in their strategy it is written
[00:08:50] that a promising direction for them is Central
[00:08:53] Asia and the Indo-Pacific.
[00:08:56] They are going there together with the Americans, side
[00:08:59] by side, most likely leaving all these problems
[00:09:03] for their European colleagues to solve. Andrey Petrovich, about
[00:09:06] the young state you're talking about, Germany, even the
[00:09:10] Poles have started to worry a little.
[00:10:12] The Poles are trying their best to obtain reparations from
[00:10:15] Germany, that is, to make them pay us the money
[00:10:19] that they have, claiming that the Soviet Union at that time, led by Stalin,
[00:10:22] illegally said that... saying, we have no
[00:10:26] claims against the German Democratic Republic,
[00:10:29] which was forming then. Poland, they say, still has claims. Time has passed and
[00:10:33] we've decided we do. Well, in turn, you know, the Germans are thinking about
[00:10:36] restrictions, and when you remember, Poland
[00:10:40] joined the European Union, many German court cases were
[00:10:43] won regarding property located in Poland,
[00:10:47] in that part of Poland that was annexed precisely as a result
[00:10:50] of World War II. The Poles forgot the most
[00:10:53] important thing, that Churchill,
[00:10:56] that Stalin
[00:10:58] presented these territories to Poland, new former German territories,
[00:11:02] and above all East Prussia, precisely
[00:11:05] in lieu of
[00:11:07] reparations. And the Germans, they
[00:11:11] remember this. You see, to this day,
[00:11:14] the soul of the German people
[00:11:16] is not in Berlin. Berlin is the heart, but the soul is
[00:11:20] Königsberg, East Prussia, and the Germans remember
[00:11:23] this very well. Believe me, as soon as the last
[00:11:27] penny (Germans know how to count well)
[00:11:29] drops from the Poles, the
[00:11:33] profit that East Prussia brought, too late
[00:11:36] to worry, the Germans will immediately demand,
[00:11:40] please return our lands, we have paid off
[00:11:44] our reparations. I think the Poles have
[00:11:48] a clear understanding that this time will surely
[00:11:51] come. Who can they count on in this case?
[00:11:55] It's not difficult, the Poles have only two allies:
[00:11:58] the United States, whom they invite, and of course,
[00:12:02] again, the British crown, on whom they are trying to rely in every way possible.
[00:12:30] Minsk is a capital, but not
[00:12:33] bustling, modern, but preserving
[00:12:36] the memory of centuries. Dynamic and at the same time
[00:12:40] cozy. It is a city where history breathes in
[00:12:43] sync with the future. It amazes with its spaciousness
[00:12:47] and grandeur and monumental
[00:12:50] architecture. The majestic and strict
[00:12:53] ensemble of post-war
[00:12:56] revival is the city's calling card. Here

[00:13:22] River. And also Minsk is an incredibly
[00:13:25] green city. It's a place where you can breathe

[00:13:38] capital with a bustling life. It's a business
[00:13:41] and scientific hub where IT technologies of the future
[00:13:44] are born.
[00:13:47] It's sporty, event-filled, always ready
[00:13:51] to surprise.
[00:14:00] But Minsk's main treasure is its inhabitants,
[00:14:04] friendly, welcoming and hospitable.
[00:14:08] They create that special, kind and safe
[00:14:11] atmosphere that makes the city truly
[00:14:15] homely, diverse, surprising,

[00:14:34] Beltamozhservice has opened a logistics corridor to the largest country
[00:14:38] in Southeast Asia. The new route will connect Belarus and
[00:14:41] Indonesia, with supplies going in both directions.
[00:14:45] Delivery of goods will take about a month. The country's main technical university
[00:14:49] is moving to a fundamentally new level of professional
[00:14:52] training. BNTU, together with Belaz, has launched
[00:14:55] super-technological laboratories. Now students will control
[00:14:59] dump trucks directly from the classroom, creating
[00:15:02] projects that will be embodied in metal on the conveyor. Non-standard
[00:15:05] clinical cases and the use of artificial intelligence were discussed
[00:15:09] by participants of the Innovative Cardiology Congress in Minsk.
[00:15:13] The event was timed to coincide with the 95th anniversary of the Republican
[00:15:16] Clinical Medical Center of the Presidential Administration.
