00:00:57Iran and Oman have agreed on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:01:05We continue the information broadcast on Pervyy.
00:01:08Belarus and Algeria are ready to expand cooperation. Yesterday at the
00:01:11Palace of Independence, the President received the Minister of Foreign Affairs
00:01:15of the North African Republic. Ahmed Ataf arrived for an
00:01:18official visit. Last December, cooperation between the countries
00:01:22at a high political level intensified. Negotiations
00:01:25between Alexander Lukashenka and Abdelmadjid Tebboune took place in the eponymous capital
00:01:29of Algeria. Prior to this, a bilateral
00:01:32business forum was held in the country, and the parties are determined to increase
00:01:35trade turnover. Over the past six months, it has increased 11-fold.
00:01:38The visit of the Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs to Minsk
00:01:41confirms Africa's intention to cooperate with
00:01:44Belarus. I am still
00:01:47impressed by my meeting with
00:01:50your president. The main conclusion I drew from
00:01:54this meeting is that
00:01:57we and Algeria can. It speaks
00:02:01of the implementation of many projects.
00:02:04The basis of this conviction of mine is
00:02:07that we know how to do
00:02:11absolutely everything that today, or perhaps
00:02:14tomorrow, will be necessary for Algeria.
00:02:18Moreover, Mr. Minister, we have agreed that
00:02:21there are a number of problems, and we have reached
00:02:25a number of concrete projects that we can
00:02:29implement.
00:03:30bilateral relations that have been observed since the meeting with our
00:03:33president in December last year in Algeria. According
00:03:37to the diplomat, preparations are currently underway for a return visit by the
00:03:40President of Algeria to Belarus. As for the directions
00:03:44of joint projects, our country has already gained the opportunity to trade its dairy products
00:03:47without restrictions on Algerian territory. Moreover,
00:03:51the country is considered a full-fledged hub for promoting
00:03:54Belarusian goods throughout
00:03:56Africa.
00:03:58Elimination of barriers. Mutual trade, customs cooperation,
00:04:02digitalization of railways, Kyrgyzstan hosts the
00:04:05Intergovernmental Council of the EAEU. In Cholpon-Ata, a meeting will be held today
00:04:08in an expanded format. The Belarusian delegation will also take part in it.
00:04:12A total of more than fifteen issues have been announced. Today we expect
00:04:16the signing of a number of important documents, among them an agreement on electronic trade
00:04:19in goods in the EAEU, on the admission of brokers and dealers
00:04:23of one state to organized trading on exchanges of other member
00:04:26countries, as well as an agreement on mutual recognition of documents.
00:04:30academic titles. Special attention is planned to be given to the development
00:04:33of a common agricultural market and the climate
00:04:36agenda.
00:04:38Iran and Oman have agreed on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters
00:04:42reports. The parties agreed that ships entering the Persian Gulf will
00:04:46follow the northern Iranian fairway, and will leave it
00:04:49via the Omani fairway. For some time, no
00:04:52fees will be charged from cargo owners, but later Tehran intends
00:04:56to impose duties on passing goods in the amount of 5-7% of
00:05:00the cargo value. According to the most conservative estimates, this will cost shipowners
00:05:04an additional 100 billion dollars a year.
00:05:07At the same time, Iran intends to maintain the ban on passage through Hormuz for
00:05:11US ships and their allies.
00:05:14Russia has found ways to counter all types of weapons supplied
00:05:18to Ukraine by Western countries. This was stated by ex-commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny.
00:05:22Given that Zaluzhny is considered a potential
00:05:25future president of the country, his statement can be considered
00:05:29significant. By the way, according to a poll published yesterday,
00:05:32Zelensky is in sixth place in the ranking of potential
00:05:36candidates, while Zaluzhny is in first place. Pessimism
00:05:39is engulfing Ukrainian allies in Europe.
00:05:42Bild reports that hopes to stop the Russian offensive with strikes on
00:05:46logistics did not materialize. Pressure on the Armed Forces of Ukraine along the entire front
00:05:50continues, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to contain it. At the same time,
00:05:53Kyiv suddenly did not have the necessary air defense missiles,
00:05:57and Zelensky is being denied new missile supplies by both European
00:06:00governments and Trump.
00:06:03European fatigue from the protracted crisis due to support for Ukraine is gradually
00:06:07increasing. At the same time, against the background of drought and fires in
00:06:10Europe, voices are increasingly heard. to distinguish Russian
00:06:58from Ukrainian cannot,
00:07:01support from Europe for Ukraine will be,
00:07:05but its volume will decrease,
00:07:09you know, like a water pipe, or a money pipe.
00:07:34According to the latest data, three teachers, three students, and the student
00:07:37who carried out the shooting died. 15 people were injured, two of whom
00:07:41are in serious condition, the motives of the shooter
00:07:44are being investigated. Long-awaited relief comes to
00:07:48Belarus after exhausting heat. In the southwest of the country, daytime temperatures will drop to
00:07:5222-27°C, but the weather is not calming down,
00:07:56an orange level of danger has been declared due to thunderstorms, downpours, and squally
00:07:59winds with gusts up to 24 m/s. Short-term
00:08:03rains with thunderstorms will pass over most of the country, and
00:08:07hail is possible in places. Yesterday, the elements raged in Gomel and
00:08:10Gomel region, there were power outages in Vitebsk due to the passage of
00:08:14a thunderstorm front, streets were flooded. According to operational information,
00:08:1835 cases of falling trees were recorded
00:08:21in Gomel region, five passenger cars were damaged. In
00:08:25Vitebsk, rescuers went out 15 times to saw and clear fallen
00:08:29trees. There were no casualties. Due to the weather,
00:08:32trees fell on the railway tracks
00:08:35at the Knyaginin-Kurenets section. Individual trains on this route
00:08:38are running with delays from the schedule of movement.
00:08:42In Belarus, the status of territories affected by the Chernobyl
00:08:46nuclear power plant accident has been revised. The basis was the results of many years of
00:08:49monitoring, which recorded a steady improvement in the radiation
00:08:53situation, among those excluded from the Chernobyl list is
00:08:56Gomel. Ksenia Lebedeva studied the situation using the example of
00:09:00the second most populous city
00:09:02in Belarus.
00:09:06We are in the center of Gomel, which as of January officially ceases to be
00:09:10a Chernobyl territory, as do others... The Chernobyl
00:09:21list may ask a question: what about my
00:09:24benefits? Spoiler: for those in need, they
00:09:27will remain, but on the other hand, 6,000 people from January
00:09:311 will officially live on clean
00:09:34lands, and this speaks of the serious systematic work of the state in this
00:09:38direction and that millions invested in the rehabilitation
00:09:41of post-Chernobyl areas. The total
00:09:43volume of financing for Chernobyl programs
00:09:47in Belarus since 1990 is estimated
00:09:51at 20 billion dollars, during which time
00:09:54more than 69 thousand apartments have been built for the population,
00:09:58approximately 57% of the funds
00:10:02allocated by the state went to protecting the population, to providing social
00:10:06assistance - these are benefits, health improvement, both today, 177 localities,
00:10:10including Gomel, Luninets, Lelchitsy,
00:10:13and Ivye, are formally considered to be in the radiation control zone,
00:10:17however, for more than 5 years, scientists and epidemiologists have been monitoring
00:10:20pollution levels here. The verdict
00:10:24is healthy. We have at the legislative
00:10:27level a review of such a list
00:10:30of populated areas
00:10:33that are indeed subject to some
00:10:36additional measures of radiation protection every 5
00:10:40years. This work is being carried out, I have
00:10:43previous years, in 2009 193 settlements had
00:10:46an excess dose of over one millisievert per year, in 2015
00:10:5082 settlements, in 2020 34.
00:10:54By the fifth year, only five settlements
00:10:57remain with an excess
00:11:01of the average annual effective dose, this is across the country, that
00:11:04is, we see that systematically every 5 years a certain
00:11:08number is removed from the Chernobyl list, yes, this work is carried out constantly.
00:11:11The Republican Scientific Practical Center for Radiation Medicine and
00:11:15Human Ecology conducts continuous work to monitor
00:11:18the medical indicators of people living
00:11:21in post-Chernobyl territories. Scientists confidently
00:11:25say that the health of these Belarusians does not differ
00:11:29from the national average. Indicators of general morbidity, primary
00:11:33disability, mortality, are the same as in the rest of the country. That
00:11:36is, we can confidently say that the Chernobyl accident, after
00:11:4040 years, no longer affects the health of
00:11:43our population, our
00:11:45people? Yes, according to
00:11:48statistics, this is not observed. Naturally,
00:11:51we conduct scientific research more broadly than
00:11:54I am telling you their
00:11:58results now, that is, we evaluate the health of the descendants
00:12:01of the affected population, as well as minor nuances.
00:12:05Due to the fact that the half-life of the main dose-forming elements that
00:12:08affect the radiation situation, Cesium
00:12:11137 and Strontium 90 is about
00:12:1530 years, self-purification gradually
00:12:17occurs, the density of contamination decreases, but
00:12:21the situation is kept under control. The main criteria for falling into the
00:12:25list of settlements by radiation contamination are dense soil
00:12:28contamination, the average annual effective dose of population exposure
00:12:32on the territory of the Republic of Belarus, including in the city of Gomel, constant monitoring
00:12:36of the radiation situation is carried out, only
00:12:38in the city of Gomel more than
00:12:41700 samples have been taken during this time, plus
00:12:45last year we also conducted a survey of the city of Gomel,
00:12:49which showed that the city no longer meets the density
00:12:52status of a populated
00:12:55area that is located, a city that is located in the zone of radioactive
00:12:58contamination, therefore, accordingly, this city, like
00:13:02Lelchitsy, was removed from this list. Infrastructure and
00:13:06medical projects that were launched within the framework of the new Chernobyl
00:13:09program in the affected populated areas will continue until full
00:13:13implementation. As for the benefits, until January
00:13:161, 2027, they are fully
00:13:20in force. Among the main ones is that
00:13:23minor children studying or living in
00:13:27contaminated territory, specifically in the city of Gomel, are provided with free
00:13:31meals for the period of general secondary education, in addition, they
00:13:34are given the opportunity for free
00:13:37sanatorium and resort treatment or health improvement, including
00:13:40women living in the city
00:13:43of Gomel can go on maternity leave
00:13:46earlier, that is, from 27 weeks
00:13:48of pregnancy, for more contaminated settlements
00:13:52a higher allowance is provided for childcare...
00:14:10Therefore, it cannot be said that all benefits have been excluded for residents of Gomel and other areas removed from the Chernobyl list.
00:14:14The new list will come into effect on January 1,
00:14:162027. This decision was made
00:14:20in agreement with the head
00:14:21of state.
00:14:25This is a recognition that nature and time are doing their work, lands
00:14:29are returning to economic use, people are no longer Chernobyl residents by
00:14:33registration, but free meals for schoolchildren have been extended
00:14:37until the summer of 2027, the transitional period has been thought through,
00:14:40how these changes will affect the budget of each family and
00:14:44the economy of the regions, we will continue to monitor, and for now, a statement
00:14:47of fact: the map of Belarus is becoming cleaner.
00:14:51Ksenia Lebedeva and Oleg Dolgopolov, Perviy Informatsionny.
