00:01:25We continue the live broadcast on the first news channel. Now, briefly about
00:01:28the main topics. Specialists, aiming for
00:01:31success, confidently keeping pace with the times. Belarusian Railway
00:01:35Troops celebrate their 150th anniversary.
00:01:38Without any visible reasons, an escalation from Riga. Latvian
00:01:42authorities are going to send the army to the border with Belarus.
00:01:45Specialists advise to be attentive and observe
00:01:48important rules. The country has a red
00:01:52weather hazard level.
00:01:55High harvesting temperatures in the field on the thermometer. Despite
00:01:58natural anomalies. Everyone who is responsible for food security
00:02:02is working at their maximum. Young crews help
00:02:06experienced machine operators and are not afraid of the heat, because it's
00:02:09comfortable at the helm of domestic machines.
00:02:12All conditions have been created: modern combines with air conditioning
00:02:15systems, as well as constant delivery of drinking water directly
00:02:18to the field. There is a full-fledged
00:02:22air conditioner in the cabin, climate control,
00:02:24that is, if it's +30 outside, it's comfortable
00:02:28in the cabin. Everything is brought there.
00:02:42This is the temperature situation in the fields near Minsk, where thermometers on the combine's side
00:02:45show a stable 30 plus. In the Gomel
00:02:48region, the sun is extremely
00:02:5140 degrees. Such heat during harvesting has not
00:02:54been seen for a long time, but even here the climate control in the machines is holding
00:02:57up, so it's possible to work. I feel
00:03:00comfortable in the combine compared to being outside in the cabin.
00:03:04It's completely different, the comfort, there's a refrigerator in it,
00:03:07here I store water, well, when I put food
00:03:11in here, it's always chilled, lunches are brought, water
00:03:14is brought, chilled, if it's not chilled, we put it in the refrigerator, it all
00:03:18cools down, literally 10 minutes, all the water
00:03:21is chilled, a big plus outside the board balances
00:03:24the moisture of the crops, the ear is now in the fields with a minimum
00:03:27percentage of moisture, which means that at the grain drying complexes
00:03:31it's possible to save resources and time for drying the grains, to curb
00:03:35the anomalous heat, the harvesting process is controlled by rescuers, they check
00:03:39equipment before going to the field and regularly patrol
00:03:42the fields. Under the scorching sun, it's also difficult for those
00:03:46behind the wheel, in a car without air conditioning, the temperature rises significantly
00:03:49above the outside in a matter of minutes, and this is a direct path to
00:03:53distraction and slowed reaction. In conditions of abnormal
00:03:57heat, the State Automobile Inspectorate has intensified control on the roads. Inspectors
00:04:00remind about the risks of overheating, checking car systems,
00:04:04and the importance of strictly observing traffic
00:04:07rules. We use air conditioning,
00:04:10of course, such conditions are difficult for
00:04:13drivers, but we still have to
00:04:16drive, endure in some moments, in order to
00:04:19reach the desired destination. We cover long
00:04:22distances, for example, we stopped at a park, rested,
00:04:25and moved in such short segments. I
00:04:29have a bottle of water with me, this is a mandatory condition, and it's glass,
00:04:33so that if it's suddenly hot, I leave the car, in the car
00:04:37a plastic bottle, nothing gets damaged, plus I always
00:04:40start the car first, set it
00:04:44to 20 degrees, and stay outside until the car cools down, because
00:04:47in addition, when it's hell outside, and hell in the car, then
00:04:51it becomes very difficult, well, and ice cream, all road users without exception
00:04:55need to constantly monitor their well-being and drink
00:04:58more water. In case of malaise, drowsiness, or if a painful condition occurs, drivers,
00:05:02if possible, need to stop off the road
00:05:06in the shade and rest, to improve well-being and
00:05:10prevent its deterioration
00:05:13on the way, drivers need to maintain a comfortable air temperature
00:05:17in the vehicle's interior, this can be achieved by
00:05:20ventilation and also using air conditioning.
00:05:23It is extremely important for pedestrians to reduce the time spent in direct
00:05:26sunlight, special caution should be exercised when
00:05:30crossing the roadway. The heat is
00:05:33not going to subside yet, today in many regions of the country
00:05:36the air will warm up to 35-40 degrees.
00:05:40Due to extreme temperatures, the red danger
00:05:43level continues to be in effect, while during the day in the north-west, in many
00:05:46areas, short-term rains, thunderstorms, heavy
00:05:50downpours, and hail are possible, specialists recommend
00:05:53adhering to simple but vital rules, avoiding
00:05:57the sun during the most active hours, drinking enough clean
00:06:00water, choosing light breathable clothing, and if possible
00:06:03limiting physical activity.
00:06:07Belarusian Railway Troops celebrate their 150th anniversary.
00:06:11Alexander Lukashenka congratulated the personnel and veterans of the transport
00:06:14troops on their professional holiday. The head of state
00:06:18noted that today, as part of the transport troops, Belarusian
00:06:21railway soldiers honorably continue the relay of courage
00:06:25of the generation of victors, successfully mastering new types
00:06:28of weapons and equipment, constantly improving the system of transport
00:06:32support for the armed forces and civilian infrastructure.
00:06:36I am convinced that you will continue to do everything possible to strengthen
00:06:40the defense capability of our country, ensuring high
00:06:43mobility of troops and effectively solving the most complex tasks,
00:06:47emphasized Alexander Lukashenka. The history of the unit began in
00:06:511876 with the deployment of a separate
00:06:54railway battalion of the Russian Empire in Baranovichi.
00:06:58The first combat use took place during the Russo-Turkish War of
00:07:011877-1878.
00:07:05Already in modern Belarus, the tasks and
00:07:08purpose of the railway troops were defined by a resolution
00:07:12of the Council of Ministers in 1992,
00:07:15and the day of the railway troops was officially established by presidential
00:07:18decree in 1998.
00:07:22In our troops, the experience of combat
00:07:25operations in Ukraine is taken into account, and
00:07:29issues of mobility and dispersion of material
00:07:32resources, and alternative methods of cargo
00:07:35delivery are practiced, and issues with the Belarusian
00:07:39railway are also being worked out to conduct a number of measures to increase
00:07:42the participation of the railway, we are not standing still, we are keeping
00:07:45today we have two main
00:07:48directions, these are the purchase of new weapons
00:07:52and military-special equipment, as well as the modernization
00:07:55of existing models, last year we received
00:07:59several models of weapons, as part of
00:08:02the modernization of weapons and military-special equipment on
00:08:05models, aggregates, which have
00:08:08exhausted their established service life, are being replaced
00:08:13with new domestic models. Despite
00:08:16the development of other types of transport, the railway
00:08:19remains one of the key elements of military logistics:
00:08:23high throughput, developed infrastructure, and
00:08:27independence from weather conditions allow it to be effectively used for
00:08:30transporting personnel, equipment, and cargo in the interests
00:08:34of the armed
00:08:35forces.
00:08:41Today marks the 80th anniversary of the atomic
00:08:44bombing of Hiroshima. Again, in official statements regarding the commemorative date,
00:08:48the country that carried it out is not mentioned.
00:08:51The UN Secretary-General issued a message in which he
00:08:55addressed the residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as all
00:08:59humanity, with a warning about the danger of nuclear weapons, and
00:09:03the United States was not mentioned by Guterres.
00:09:06Similar silence was observed in the speeches of Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi and
00:09:10the Mayor of Hiroshima. Thus, from the point of view of
00:09:13official Japanese discourse, the bombings were carried out by an unknown
00:09:17party. Such omissions have extremely regrettable consequences. Half
00:09:21of Japanese people find it difficult to name the country that bombed them, and
00:09:25more than a third of schoolchildren believe it was the Soviet Union.
00:09:28I remind you that the bomb with the code name "Little Boy" was dropped
00:09:32on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.
00:09:35Latvian authorities are planning to send
00:09:39the army to the border with Belarus, as it is claimed. This is due to the need
00:09:43to overcome the migration crisis. The Latvian border service
00:09:46claims that it does not have enough personnel to control
00:09:50the borders, although Estonia and Finland have sent
00:09:53their border guards to Riga, but their number is extremely
00:09:56small. The decision to deploy units of the
00:09:59Latvian army to the border has not yet been made, but if something similar
00:10:03happens, it will mean a clear escalation of the situation by
00:10:06official Riga. Recently, Latvia, under the pretext of a technical
00:10:09failure, suspended the operation of the only border
00:10:13crossing to Belarus and even threatened to close the border completely, while
00:10:16neighboring countries consider Latvia itself as a source
00:10:20of migration problems. For example, Lithuania is even introducing border
00:10:24control on the common border. In Vilnius, it is claimed
00:10:27that half of the illegal immigrants arrive from the Latvian
00:10:31direction.
00:10:33Poland is escalating the conflict with the EU over money for
00:10:36Covid vaccines. The Brussels court demands that Warsaw pay for
00:10:4064 million doses of the Pfizer drug, which
00:10:43the Poles did not use. The amount
00:10:46to be recovered, together with legal costs, is almost
00:10:501.5 billion euros. Poland refuses to pay, and the court decision
00:10:54on recovery is being challenged by all imaginable
00:10:57and unimaginable means, in particular, another appeal has already been filed
00:11:00against the court decision in Brussels. The vaccine
00:11:04story is a direct continuation of the scandal related to
00:11:07Ursula von der Leyen's business activities. The purchase
00:11:10of drugs by the European Commission was non-transparent, and the head of the
00:11:14commission conducted negotiations secretly. In addition, her husband works
00:11:17at Pfizer, which means there is a conflict of interest. Nevertheless, the contract for tens
00:11:21of billions continued to be in effect even when the vaccines
00:11:25were no longer needed by anyone.
00:11:28The crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on the northern
00:11:31coast of Africa turned into a migration explosion. In one day, about
00:11:3560 thousand migrants broke through from Morocco
00:11:38into the Schengen zone. About a hundred died while trying to illegally cross
00:11:42the border by sea. Instead of European solidarity and
00:11:45unity, attacks on Madrid and decisive measures
00:11:49by neighbors, up to Spain's withdrawal from the Schengen
00:11:51zone. What will the migration collapse lead to?
00:12:04What about security in Europe? They will run to where
00:12:08it's fatter. This could have been an element of political game.
00:12:11The option to repeat the savagery
00:12:15committed by Polish border guards or
00:12:18Baltic ones does not pass. The political future of the Spanish prime minister
00:12:21is under attack, there are 100 meters under the bridge. those same
00:12:25migrants in tents, criticism of Europe, can Trump really earn
00:12:29political points? Macron is leaving, who will be
00:12:32next? A stone in the garden of euroskeptics? In this game,
00:12:35Spain fought back. Let's look at an interesting
00:12:38coincidence. This will be in all media
00:12:41tomorrow.
00:12:49The admission campaign of 2026 is one of the most
00:12:51successful in the last 5 years. This opinion was shared with journalists
00:12:55of the first news channel by Minister of Education Andrey Ivanets.
00:12:59All universities of the Republic fulfilled their admissions in full,
00:13:02agricultural ones even broke records. This
00:13:05year, admissions here increased by 350 people,
00:13:09there are no vacant places. We were able to find certain
00:13:13tools to show young people that not only
00:13:16engineering specialties, pedagogical, but also
00:13:19the agro-industrial complex, this is also a prospect in our
00:13:23country. In this admission campaign.
00:13:37Grodno, Brest, Gomel or the city of Minsk.
00:13:40Secondly, this year we saw very high passing scores
00:13:44for foreign languages. And, of course, classic engineering
00:13:48specialties. Trends in the admissions campaign for
00:13:51specialized secondary education, innovations for
00:13:55Russian schoolchildren, and the digitalization of education,
00:13:58answers to these and other questions in an actual interview on the first
00:15:23to conquer the steps of the National Library three times on foot, and
00:15:26all this at 83 years old. A Belarusian pensioner
00:15:30proves by his own example that age is just a number in
00:15:33a passport, and for true sports excitement there are no
00:15:36obstacles. The hero's name is Viktor Nefedov, by education
00:15:40a radio engineer, he dedicated almost his entire life to his profession, before
00:15:44retirement he worked as a designer of electronic computing machines,
00:15:47and already in retirement he began to take better care of his health.
00:15:51He made his first big step in sports when he turned
00:15:5479 years old. One of Viktor's main achievements is
00:15:58a victory in an intercontinental swim across the Bosphorus
00:16:01Strait. He became one of the oldest participants in the swim.
00:16:05At 82, he managed to swim across it.
00:16:38In July of this year, the man's collection of awards was replenished with another medal
00:16:42for successfully completing the international Minsk Triathlon.
00:16:45In the relay, two other Mogilev residents competed with him, and this
00:16:49team made history. Each of the participants was over
00:16:5280 years old. This is the oldest team in the history of the Minsk
00:16:56Triathlon.

00:19:11The European automotive industry is rushing towards a precipice, and the crisis is called one of
00:19:15the deepest in the industry's history. The European automotive industry is one of
00:19:18the largest industrial sectors on the planet, with 13
00:19:22million people directly employed in related industries before the crisis. The annual production
00:19:25volume is about 12 million cars. Its share in world production
00:19:29was 25% in 2015, and in
00:19:322026 it will be less than 18%.
00:19:35The European automotive industry is in powerful trouble. On the one hand, Donald
00:19:39Trump hits exports with high import duties, and on the other hand,
00:19:42a number of global errors in the European Union's economic policy are having an effect.
00:19:46On the third hand, aggressive Chinese companies are making life difficult,
00:19:49and their automotive industry is simply destroying legendary German brands.
00:19:52Chinese electric cars cost on average 30-40%
00:19:56less than their European counterparts with comparable
00:19:59quality. In 2025,
00:20:02Chinese brands already occupied a tenth of the European
00:20:05market. The price of industrial electricity in Germany in
00:20:082026 will be about 20 euro cents per
00:20:12kilowatt-hour, in China 5-7 euro cents, in the US
00:20:157.9 euro cents. In order for the automotive industry not to collapse under the weight of economic
00:20:19realities, European authorities are trying to find them occupations, that is,
00:20:22to re-profile them, just like before the Second World War, proposing to switch from
00:20:25butter to guns. We are sorting out
00:20:28the intricate global world processes in the project "Clear
00:20:32Politics" on the TV channel Belarus
