00:00:31Sensitive issues for both people and the budget. The government is proposing a number of
00:00:35innovations in various areas. They were discussed yesterday at a meeting in
00:00:39the Palace of Independence. First - updating the financing scheme for
00:00:42the supply of mineral fertilizers. The problem is that agricultural organizations
00:00:46of the country do not fully buy their quotas. As a result, both the
00:00:50quality of field work and fertilizer producers suffer.
00:00:54We supply fertilizers,
00:00:57well, not we supply, the producer supplies.
00:01:00annually, whether in autumn, for sowing
00:01:03winter crops, or in spring, for sowing spring
00:01:06crops, it is financed
00:01:09accordingly
00:01:10and
00:01:14it would be easier if I produced,
00:01:18you want fertilizer, bought it, paid the money
00:01:20and that's it, but the state is involved
00:01:24in this and helps
00:01:27agricultural organizations to buy these...
00:01:32fertilizers, it would seem, well, what else do we need, we need something,
00:01:36which we will hear now.
00:01:40As a result, fertilizers intended for their own use are kept in a warehouse,
00:01:43although they can be sold on external markets for one and a half times more. We are talking
00:01:47about serious sums. Next year, agricultural organizations need to purchase
00:01:51fertilizers for 3 billion rubles. The government proposes
00:01:54a new procurement scheme. The second
00:01:57issue concerns the transformation of payments for childcare up to
00:02:013 years of age. In Belarus, parents receive significant
00:02:04financial support. One-time payments at birth,
00:02:08family capital for large families, as well as monthly benefits. But in the
00:02:11modern pragmatic world, young people increasingly strive to
00:02:15get an education first and make a career. This approach is characteristic
00:02:19of all economically stable countries and we are no
00:02:21exception. The third item on the agenda is the unification
00:02:25of the ministry and the state inspection for the protection of animal and plant
00:02:29world. How expedient this is, this question was already
00:02:32raised during the appointment of the new minister. Following
00:02:35the meeting, a decision was made not to unite these state structures, as
00:02:39stated by the Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection
00:02:43to journalists. As for the first issue, the updated
00:02:47scheme for financing the supply of mineral fertilizers for agriculture
00:02:50may be launched in 2028. This
00:02:53was stated by the Minister of Agriculture and Food to journalists following
00:02:57the meeting.
00:03:32Benefits for childcare up to 3 years of age will be tied to the actual income
00:03:36of the recipient of this benefit. This proposal by the leadership of the Council of Ministers
00:03:39was supported by the head of state.
00:03:43Also yesterday, the President of Belarus received a report from the Prime Minister.
00:03:46The key topic was the international agenda, taking into account the recent meetings
00:03:50of Alexander Turchin. During his visit to Kyrgyzstan with President
00:03:54Sadyr Japarov, bilateral relations,
00:03:56integration ties within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union, and
00:04:00humanitarian cooperation were discussed. In addition, the Prime Minister of Belarus
00:04:04held talks with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail
00:04:07Mishustin. The heads of government considered issues of economics
00:04:10and relations between the two countries. The President inquired in detail about the results
00:04:14of these meetings and negotiations. Questions were also raised regarding the
00:04:17participation of the head of the Belarusian state in the upcoming summits of a number of
00:04:21international
00:04:22organizations.
00:04:29The European Union is plunging into budgetary chaos due to costs for supporting
00:04:32Kyiv, as reported by Berliner Zeitung with reference to the official
00:04:36response of the European Commission, to MEP Fabio De
00:04:39Masi, Brussels admitted that it is impossible
00:04:42to even determine the total amount of interest payments for a loan of
00:04:4690 billion euros. Moreover, officials do not know
00:04:49if there will be enough funds in the EU budget for this next year. The politician
00:04:53himself states that the decision was made by Brussels absolutely
00:04:56recklessly and caused direct damage to the European economy.
00:05:12provided Ukraine with more than 216 billion
00:05:15euros. Another reason for
00:05:19Poles to dislike Ukrainians. A resonant incident occurred in
00:05:22the suburbs of Warsaw at one of the construction sites. A forty-four-year-old
00:05:25Ukrainian citizen brutally beat his colleague and
00:05:28a female developer. According to the police, the man, without any visible
00:05:32reason, repeatedly hit his colleague in the face with a metal
00:05:35pipe. When the woman tried to stop the assailant, he
00:05:38attacked her. Both victims lost consciousness and were
00:05:42hospitalized. After the attack, the attacker fled, but the very
00:05:46next day he was detained. The suspect was taken
00:05:49into custody for 3 months, and he faces imprisonment.
00:05:52Romania is on the verge of a large-scale
00:05:55energy collapse due to the shallowing of the Danube. At
00:05:58the country's only nuclear power plant, the second and last
00:06:02operating power unit is being prepared for an emergency shutdown.
00:06:05The conservation process, which may start tomorrow.
00:06:08The water level in the area of hydraulic structures
00:06:12has fallen to a critical level of -230
00:06:15cm, which makes further cooling of the reactor technically
00:06:19impossible. Let me remind you, the first power unit was stopped back in
00:06:22late July. All attempts by the authorities to save the situation, including
00:06:26emergency deepening of the river bed, failed. The shutdown of
00:06:29the nuclear power plant could deprive Romania of a fifth of all national
00:06:33electricity generation.
00:06:35The heat in Europe is turning from a weather anomaly into a serious economic
00:06:39blow. Drought burns harvests, shallow rivers.
00:06:50in energy, let's hear the opinion of an expert. The main area
00:06:54that suffered is, of course, agriculture.
00:06:55as a result of this
00:06:59heat, the yield of grain crops decreased by about
00:07:0210%, according to various estimates, in different
00:07:06countries it varies, but in France, for example, about a billion
00:07:09euros of harvest was lost. This means that the second area that
00:07:13suffered the most is transport, because the shallowing
00:07:16of rivers led to the fact that, for example, along the Danube,
00:07:20transport communication ceased. Now it is unclear when
00:07:23it will resume, because we need to wait for the autumn-winter
00:07:27rains, and
00:07:30it will also take time from the rains until the river
00:07:33fills up. In short, for the next six months, the Danube is out
00:07:37of order. The same applies to other rivers,
00:07:41and... Another affected
00:07:44part of the European economy is
00:07:47energy, because many power plants are cooled
00:07:50by rivers.
00:07:51China today on the first
00:07:58information channel. A Belarusian ice cream shop recently
00:08:02opened in Shanghai. Did the Chinese consumer like the new
00:08:06product? How much has the demand for this product in China only
00:08:09grown in recent years? Our... The future of Belarus lies in gifted
00:08:45youth. The results of prestigious international intellectual competitions
00:08:48only confirm this. From the International Mathematical Olympiad,
00:08:52our students returned with historical results,
00:08:55winning six gold medals in the individual standings. In
00:08:59the team standings among 135 universities in the world,
00:09:02Belarus is second. This was not
00:09:06a surprise. That is, we expected five medals
00:09:10in advance. And this... the fact that
00:09:13this is a trend
00:09:16shows that in previous years we won
00:09:19one, two, three gold medals, but this
00:09:23time the plan was higher, well, the students are stronger, so this
00:09:26is not a surprise, it is the result of systematic work that began 4 years
00:09:30ago at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, in our
00:09:34department. Mathematics is a rather conservative science, so
00:09:37we did not apply any fundamental innovations. The Olympiad is also a sport, so the more... The
00:09:41Mathematics Olympiad this year took place in
00:09:47Bulgaria, bringing together about 500 participants from 48
00:09:50countries of the world.
00:09:52The National Children's Center "Zubryonok" opens its doors to the whole world. At
00:09:56the invitation of the President of Belarus, children from 10
00:10:00countries will come to our country for recreation and recuperation. In just
00:10:03a couple of days, they are expecting a delegation from China. Andrey
00:10:07Kozlov
00:10:08will continue.
00:11:43China are expected. We gladly welcome
00:11:47guests from far abroad, and, of course, we
00:11:49position the brand as
00:11:53a system of education, as well as...

00:13:08Unique talents of Belarusian women. A new exhibition of the Republican project
00:13:11of the Belarusian Union of Women, "Her Hands' Work," opened in Minsk. The focus is on
00:13:15the work of Tatiana Orekhnovich. She is a leading specialist in the department
00:13:18of control and supervision of construction of the State Standard. The responsibility
00:13:22is enormous. The work requires strict discipline, but in her free time
00:13:26the woman devotes herself entirely to embroidery. The exhibition presents
00:13:29her best works. In
00:14:25of Belarus.
