00:02:30Hello, without slowing down, our agrarians continue
00:02:33the battle for the harvest. As of today, on dairy and grain with rapeseed taken into account,
00:02:37it's over seven million thousand tons. News from the peaceful front on
00:02:41our air. Cosmic triumvirate - a unique
00:02:44parade of planets, the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, literally in these
00:02:48minutes, a total solar eclipse. Several celestial
00:02:51wonders are being observed today by the inhabitants of Earth. Procurement
00:02:55as a development tool, where is the line between justified and
00:02:58unjustified intermediation? The guests of the Economic
00:03:01Wednesday project will answer the most pressing questions. My
00:03:04colleagues will complete the picture The country's grain growers are accelerating
00:03:08the pace of harvesting and working around the clock, doing everything to make the total
00:03:12loaf even more substantial. Technology, quality and
00:03:15discipline. Report from the fields of Mogilev
00:03:17region.
00:03:20We keep our finger on the pulse of the country. An open dialogue, where there were no closed
00:03:23topics, took place in Lida together with the Minister of Culture Marat Markov.
00:03:27What worries Belarusians today, will tell. in
00:03:30panorama.
00:03:32The search continues in Kyrgyzstan for three missing climbers, two of them
00:03:36Belarusians, one a Lithuanian. Rescue operations use drones with thermal imagers
00:03:40and a helicopter. The only problem is the weather conditions.
00:03:43What is known by this hour, we will tell in more detail in the
00:03:46story.
00:03:48Smart algorithms for the city and forest. Neural networks
00:03:52compile transport schedules and recognize bird voices. We will talk
00:03:55about the latest developments in our
00:03:58material. More than 200 years
00:04:02(2.5 trees per hectare). A young gardener
00:04:05grows Belarusian apples, how a hobby became a business,
00:04:09where products are exported, we will tell in the
00:04:12material.
00:04:15Creation of a tourist brand, opening of information centers for
00:04:18travelers, dialogue with investors on the ground, how the Vitebsk
00:04:22region will develop the tourism industry, what has
00:04:25already been done and what remains to be done, we will tell in the
00:04:28report.
00:04:31Our agrarians continue the battle for the harvest, a peaceful front,
00:04:35as the harvesting season is called, when food security is at stake,
00:04:39and victory is called an achievement in the grain field,
00:04:43new hectares processed per day, thousands of tons
00:04:46of grain dried per day. According to operational
00:04:49data, as of August 12, twenty- six on threshed grain including
00:04:52rapeseed, 7 million 165. Tons,
00:04:56and this is more than one and a half million more than in...
00:05:02Brest region has overcome the milestone of one and a half million,
00:05:06the Grodno region will soon reach the same mark, the score
00:05:10of the grain growers of Minsk region... 86 thousand
00:05:12tons
00:05:14of new harvest. Contribution to the common loaf of Gomel and Mogilev
00:05:18regions - 937 and
00:05:21796 thousand tons. In the Vitebsk
00:05:24region, almost 600,000 in total, grain with
00:05:27rapeseed, excluding corn, has been harvested from
00:05:3080%
00:05:31of the areas.
00:05:34Every day, the common loaf becomes heavier thanks to
00:05:37the hard work of grain growers. Many are still in
00:05:40the fields at these minutes. The rows of mechanized detachments have been strengthened, and the tactics
00:05:44of redeploying equipment also help. Andrei
00:05:47Yastrebov talks about the atmosphere of the grain campaign. He studied,
00:05:51returned to his small homeland and continued the dynasty of grain growers, that's how simply
00:05:55the young machine operator Ivan Zdorovikov talks about himself, he understood the main thing, that one needs to approach
00:05:59field work with soul, then the land
00:06:02will repay, as this time with a good harvest. My parents,
00:06:05it turns out, also
00:06:08work in agriculture, my father on a combine, I started as his assistant
00:06:12and now I decided to do it myself. This year I got a new combine, our
00:06:16domestic mash,
00:06:20we work hard, and in this season we have already threshed almost
00:06:233,000, the weather helps us this summer, so
00:06:26I think we will cope quickly, the drying complexes
00:06:29of the farms do not stop for days, so that the grain goes into the bins
00:06:32of good quality, and this is both bread and feed, which should always be
00:06:36in abundance, the harvesting of spring barley is ending, per
00:06:39day we process about a thousand tons. The humidity
00:06:43is good now, up to 15%, which
00:06:46allows to save gas, reduce the cost of grain
00:06:49harvesting and quickly process it. A strategically important company
00:06:53for the country is under the control of the head of state, including the harvest,
00:06:56the president discussed with the leadership of the Council of Ministers the day before, how
00:07:00things are in the fields, how much grain we can put into the bins, the
00:07:03relevant minister personally answered the question. In general, for grain
00:07:07we plan to reach
00:07:0911.5 million tons. Harvesting is underway.
00:07:44Work for one, common result, Belarusian tradition, by the way, Mogilev
00:07:47region is preparing to replenish the ranks of millionaires in terms of threshing. Over
00:07:51forty additional crews in the form of mechanized detachments have been sent to
00:07:55farms in Mogilev region, another tradition is to cope yourself
00:07:58and help your neighbors, the redeployment of equipment has begun to where
00:08:02it is necessary to speed up the pace. Such support was received by the grain growers of the production
00:08:06giant, the Vender Shmogilevsky district branch. The grain wedge here is under
00:08:094.00 ha, not counting corn, it's still to come. The
00:08:12combines are currently filling their bunkers with winter crops. The yield is very
00:08:15good this year, the year was
00:08:19favorable for the formation of the harvest of both
00:08:23rapeseed and grain, spring and winter crops. At the moment
00:08:26we are harvesting wheat, the yield is about
00:08:3040-43 centners per hectare. We need to harvest quickly
00:08:33and prepare for sowing winter grain. We came from Kirovsky
00:08:37district. This is not the first business trip, it's already
00:08:40the fourth, probably, the weather at first let us down, then everything was good,
00:08:44they met us also perfectly, I have been working since eighty-
00:08:47fourth year, I started before the army, then the army,
00:08:51all the time in short, a business trip on the new r4
00:08:54combine, the fourth in a row, the lunch is tasty, good, by the way, and
00:08:58food, the main requirement is that it be tasty, satisfying
00:09:01and balanced field farm Lux Agra, for
00:09:04agrarians both first and second everything to restore strength,
00:09:07the food is varied, it does not repeat itself during the week,
00:09:11there are different soups. pickles, borscht, and
00:09:14cabbage soup, and pea, bean, well, a large variety
00:09:18of soups, also main courses, everything is organized at the highest level,
00:09:22there is enough food,
00:09:24rich, cooked like home, this is the seventeenth harvest for
00:09:28Alexander Kukharev, in ordinary life he is a driver, a forester, but as
00:09:31soon as the season begins, he steers the combine, he says the time
00:09:35chose us, I myself work in the farm and I was
00:09:39sent on a business trip to
00:09:41they send me. It's interesting to harvest grain, to thresh more,
00:09:45fewer stones and less rain. Work for the grain growers of Klimovichi district does not
00:09:49stop even after sunset, combines make their way in the
00:09:53light of headlights. At the moment we are on the field
00:09:56of triticale, the average yield for this
00:09:59field is 25 centners, 2,800 ha, at
00:10:03the moment 50% has been harvested. The grain is dry, we immediately
00:10:06harvest, process and deliver it to the elevator. The local KHP only manages to
00:10:10receive grain trucks, it's mandatory.
00:10:16The laboratory assistants joke, the country must have bread. The very first main
00:10:19task is to correctly take samples,
00:10:22to assess the quality of the batch. we became
00:10:55witnesses of a triumvirate of cosmic wonders. Immediately
00:10:58three rare astronomical phenomena coincided on one calendar
00:11:02day. Dawn began with a unique parade
00:11:05of planets. At night, the sky will be illuminated by the peak of the famous Perseid
00:11:08meteor shower. But the main and most anticipated
00:11:12event remains the total solar eclipse. Right
00:11:15now, residents of Northern Spain and
00:11:19Iceland are observing the eclipse in its full glory. Here, the solar
00:11:22disk was completely covered by the lunar shadow. And if
00:11:26in Spain the eclipse will reach its peak in the coming minutes,
00:11:29then in Reykjavik the sun begins to gradually shed the shadow
00:11:33of the Earth's satellite. These unique futuristic shots are already
00:11:37spreading across all channels and social networks. Let's take a look.
00:11:50A few minutes ago, the sun became almost
00:11:53invisible, or rather, turned into a black disk,
00:11:56framed by bright rays, in many other
00:12:00regions of Western Europe, however, here the eclipse
00:12:03is still not total. In London,
00:12:06Edinburgh, Dublin and Zurich, the lunar shadow
00:12:09covered nine-tenths of the solar disk. Slightly less
00:12:13impressive was this rare phenomenon in the lands located
00:12:16further east, in Rome and Berlin, the moon eclipsed the sun
00:12:19by only 3/4. Across Europe, the eclipse is nearing its
00:12:23finale, in the next 40 minutes to an hour the sun
00:12:26will slip out of the darkness, to again plunge into it, now
00:12:30having set behind the horizon. In the United
00:12:33States, the eclipse will be visible in a few hours, but
00:12:37it will be partial: the solar disk will be covered by the shadow
00:12:40by only a quarter, and somewhere even by
00:12:431/2.
00:12:46To observe cosmic phenomena, millions of
00:12:49tourists arrived in Iceland and forest-fire-stricken
00:12:52Spain. Was Europe ready for a spectacular
00:12:56astronomical show? Oleg
00:12:58Romanov found out. A real astronomical show in three
00:13:02acts for Earth dwellers. Early in the morning, even before sunrise,
00:13:06a parade of planets, lined up in a perfect line, unfolded over the horizon.
00:13:09Such an event is extremely rare due to the difference in orbits and
00:13:13velocities of celestial bodies, but the main thing is that seeing such a parade
00:13:16with the naked eye is an extremely rare
00:13:18stroke of luck.
00:13:55It's a misconception that eclipses are extremely rare events, they
00:13:58happen, say, once every 50 or 100 years, but that's not true,
00:14:02they just all happen in different places, the moon's trajectory
00:14:06changes, it passes through your area, so for us
00:14:09residents of Pennsylvania, a beautiful eclipse like the one that happened
00:14:132 years ago, won't happen until 2099,
00:14:16but somewhere on Earth solar eclipses happen frequently,
00:14:20and you can go there to see them, people take
00:14:24cruises,
00:14:41Iceland and Spain. Hotels in Valencia, Bilbao and Reiky
00:14:44Ovika were booked 100% a year ago.
00:14:48And housing prices on the Iberian Peninsula soared by
00:14:51300-400%.
00:14:55The main country that will observe the eclipse is only a small
00:14:58part of Iceland and a small part of Greenland, and the weather
00:15:02will likely be bad in most
00:15:04places. I'm going to Tarragona, I have a friend
00:15:08there on the coast, I'm going to watch the eclipse from about
00:15:114 degrees from the sea, it should be wonderful, I mean
00:15:15to see the whole ring, to see everything, I'm so
00:15:18excited.
00:15:20I'm looking for a place where I could watch the eclipse not far from
00:15:24Madrid. I'm not going far, because according to the news, it's complete
00:15:28madness what's happening on the coast. From an economic
00:15:31point of view, an unprecedented financial boom is being recorded,
00:15:34however, for local authorities, such an influx of people has turned into a serious headache.
00:15:38Southern Europe is now in flames of forest fires. In Spain, in
00:15:42some areas, evacuation of the population is underway. 3,500
00:15:45police officers are on duty on the roads. It is feared that
00:15:48the influx of tourists who came to watch the eclipse in rural
00:15:51areas will provoke new fires. Completely different,
00:15:55but no less severe challenges face Iceland, another key
00:15:58point on the map where a total eclipse can be observed. Here, in the area
00:16:02of the Ovika River in the Western Fjords, a flood of travelers has poured in,
00:16:06many times exceeding. The difference
00:16:40between a partial eclipse of 99.9%
00:16:44and a total eclipse of 100% is a completely different feeling, it's
00:16:47magnificent, it's amazing, there are no words for it, so
00:16:51we decided to fly here from the USA to Iceland.
00:16:55The excitement led to unforeseen problems, so the British
00:16:58faced a severe shortage of protective optics, special
00:17:01glasses are no longer available, and they were necessary to
00:17:05always look.
00:17:37to hear the eclipse, because nature sort of slows down, and then you
00:17:41look up and it's incredibly moving to see the pitch
00:17:44black moon in the sky, surrounded by this beautiful
00:17:47aura, the solar corona. Every time I see it, I get
00:17:51goosebumps, a lump in my throat, and I cry uncontrollably,
00:17:55it's unlike anything else.
00:17:57The eclipse is the perfect time to distract from the mundane and think
00:18:01about the eternal, especially since we usually do it very rarely. Oleg
00:18:04Romanov, Olga Davidovich, First Informational.
00:18:09Although the full phase of the eclipse passed through Spain, Iceland and
00:18:12Greenland, literally half an hour ago in Belarus it was also possible
00:18:16to observe, but only as a partial solar eclipse. For
00:18:20our latitudes this is a rather rare phenomenon, and therefore the interest in
00:18:23it was considerable. Our correspondent Andrey Kozlov witnessed
00:18:27this unusual spectacle and will tell how
00:18:30Belarusians prepared
00:18:31for it.
00:18:35Yes, actually, it's a big deal to catch this moment of the eclipse right
00:18:39now, these last moments when we can see it, show it beautifully in
00:18:43our news, and we can even pay attention right now, you know, many people
00:18:47also want to capture it, come here and show it on social networks,
00:18:50Instagram, TikTok, and also, you know, so that this moment
00:18:54is remembered, because it's indeed such an unusual
00:18:58moment of a natural phenomenon, and even here we meet different people
00:19:01who want to see it, for example, we managed to catch a young
00:19:05man, Zhenya, who explain to me what you were doing with this
00:19:09floppy disk, which, probably, our operator's generation remembers, I don't remember
00:19:12either due to youth, what does it allow you to do? Well,
00:19:16to see, it covers the sunlight, here if you move it away, it will be like a film for
00:19:20photographs, so it darkens like sunglasses,
00:19:23just to avoid retinal burns, and
00:19:26we darken the sun and see the moon, which
00:19:30covers the sun, so let's take a closer look -
00:19:33let's do this, this is here, right, to see this moment.
00:19:38Aha, and such a red dot, right, here it turns out, then you
00:19:42see this moment, thanks to just such a floppy disk, how did you know about
00:19:45this? Everything through the internet, of course, well, in childhood
00:19:48sometime, sometime long ago in physics at some school
00:19:52we watched a solar eclipse, I don't even remember when that
00:19:55was, using floppy disks, now I found out from the kids, I work at school,
00:19:58I found out from the kids that it will happen, I think, oh, great, I have a whole folder
00:20:02of them in my office, a whole folder, and why is it important for you
00:20:05to see this, you know, is it visible? We see you, yes, girls are coming,
00:20:09sitting beautifully, it's clear, this is such a romantic evening for some, yes,
00:20:13to see, you know, while we observe the last moment, why is it
00:20:16interesting to you? Well, an unusual natural phenomenon,
00:20:20let's say, an interesting phenomenon, when something
00:20:23unusual, everyone wants to see it, so that later they can tell everyone, here it's the same
00:20:27situation, and you saw the solar, and I saw the solar
00:20:30eclipse, or even cooler, go up to someone and ask to say that I saw
00:20:34the solar eclipse, and did you watch then? Good
00:20:38story, keep watching, while the last minutes, I'll end
00:20:42our broadcast here, in general, you see, these last moments, so beautifully
00:20:45there beyond the horizon, beyond Minsk, towards the other side of the planet,
00:20:49for me it will be full, for us it's not quite full, but nevertheless for
00:20:52other inhabitants of our beautiful earth this natural phenomenon can be seen, well, from
00:20:56Minsk, as we see, including how beautiful it is in our
00:20:59summer city? Thank you, footage of the solar eclipse on our
00:21:03air together with the residents of Minsk, Andrey Kozlov tried to capture.
00:21:06The event literally flooded
00:21:10social networks, users massively publish photos and videos of the eclipse, creating
00:21:14the effect of a cosmic flash mob. By the way,
00:21:16this is the first total solar eclipse over the cone.
00:22:00Alas, not everywhere on the planet it was possible for the celestial
00:22:03luminaries to put aside earthly worries. In Colombia,
00:22:06a three-day mourning period has been declared. The country continues to eliminate
00:22:10the consequences of the earthquake. The natural disaster caused the death of at
00:22:14least 250 people. The exact number
00:22:17of victims is still unknown, because without...
00:22:26caused colossal destruction, water and
00:22:29electricity supply are still not restored everywhere, bodies of the dead remain
00:22:33under the rubble, still miracles
00:22:35happen, a woman who spent
00:22:3936 hours
00:22:42in captivity was rescued from under the concrete
00:22:55rubble. Rescuers work around the clock, from time to time minutes of silence
00:22:59are announced here, but the chances of hearing calls for help
00:23:02from under the rubble are becoming increasingly
00:23:05ghostly.
00:23:07The Lithuanian government will allocate 50 million euros
00:23:10for digging anti-tank ditches along the borders of Belarus and Russia.
00:23:14Each trench will be 20 meters wide, but
00:23:17in some places they plan to make them 150.
00:24:20amendments sending them to the trenches to certain death. Support
00:24:24for deportation is closely linked to political
00:24:26affiliations, with the majority of right-wingers and a minority of left-wingers supporting such a measure.
00:24:30Due to the fact that nationalism is flourishing in Poland
00:24:34in increasingly radical forms, as a result, 2/3
00:24:37of citizens support expulsion. In the EU,
00:24:40denial of the right to protection for Ukrainian men has already become
00:24:43a reality. In most EU countries, legalization
00:24:46for those liable for military service requires presenting
00:24:50an exemption from
00:24:51mobilization.
00:24:58Establish facts, find meanings, verify trends. The new information
00:25:02marathon "Pulse of the Country" continues to travel across different regions
00:25:06of Belarus. This unique project allows ordinary Belarusians
00:25:09to directly ask questions of interest to representatives of the authorities,
00:25:12analysts and scientists. Today such
00:25:15a dialogue about important and high matters took place in the current capital of Belarusian
00:25:19writing.
00:26:02youth, I very often like to communicate with them, because I myself
00:26:06have a teenage son, a teenager, he likes heavy
00:26:09music, and thus I support his
00:26:13hobby, but as a mother I keep a close
00:26:16ear out so that he doesn't go somewhere
00:26:20antisocial, therefore now for me the issue of youth
00:26:24is always very acute, the rules of etiquette, the psychology
00:26:27of style, social networks, external image
00:26:31portrait, why do we lead?
00:27:02in my opinion, you understand that you did not come here in vain, and that this
00:27:06event, which, well, let's not hide it, is organized and specifically organized
00:27:09to feel the pulse of the country, and in different
00:27:12regions, not only in large cities, but in
00:27:15any, and you know that it is planned
00:27:18to continue, including down to the district level
00:27:21and so on, questions of national and demographic
00:27:25security, the military-political situation on the Belarusian border,
00:27:28and the socio-economic situation in the country concern the residents of Polotsk, with
00:27:31representatives.
00:30:04I note that about a month remains until the start of the fourth session,
00:30:08now the parliamentary corps is actively forming a portfolio of documents,
00:30:11among the bills that parliamentarians plan to consider are a block
00:30:15of issues in the agricultural sector, in industry, as well as documents
00:30:18concerning the digital ruble and the ratification of a number
00:30:22of international agreements,
00:30:24our scientists are keeping their finger on the pulse, it is thanks to their efforts at the
00:30:28United Institute of Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, neural networks
00:30:32are mastering new areas, one of the developments is compiling
00:30:36schedules for transport, algorithms analyze
00:30:38passenger traffic, traffic jams, and weather, so that buses
00:30:42run exactly on schedule. Another
00:30:45neural network recognizes bird voices, how technology
00:30:48firmly enters our lives, Kristina Sushenya will tell. Our application
00:30:52recognized that there are pigeons here, which are basically present almost
00:30:56everywhere, and a siskin. For the neural network
00:30:59to learn to distinguish birds, it was fed thousands of.
00:31:15different sound fingerprints. The creation of the application generally
00:31:19lasted not only the application, mainly the entire
00:31:22system, it generally lasted for 5 years,
00:31:25where the first 3 years were dedicated
00:31:29to collecting audio recordings, some audio recordings were taken from
00:31:33open sources, then they were annotated
00:31:36by specialists ornithologists,
00:31:38then processed and prepared for training
00:31:42the model. A kind of dictionary of bird language, forest, park, even
00:31:46a balcony, just press record and the neural network will tell you who is nearby,
00:31:49plans to replenish the database, so that the algorithm recognizes even
00:31:53more species, when a person goes to the dacha in the
00:31:57forest hears the singing of some birds, and he becomes interested, what
00:32:01kind of birds are these, that is, in the application
00:32:04you can click on the microphone
00:32:07button, that is, it will record your
00:32:11surroundings then.
00:32:24artificial intelligence solved another problem, we are not here by accident near a bus
00:32:28stop, and it's not by chance that public transport arrives exactly at the designated
00:32:31time, coincidence, neural networks don't think so,
00:32:34routes, passengers, everything is under the control
00:32:37of algorithms, the task is not easy, you need to take into account
00:32:40passenger traffic during peak hours, the number of cars on the line,
00:32:43traffic jams, weather and also...
00:33:15we are engaged in such algorithms, they are called algorithms
00:33:18from nature, they work in such a way that there is one
00:33:22schedule, for example, there is another schedule, these are
00:33:26mom and dad, then part we take from one schedule, part from another,
00:33:29then we get a third schedule, these are descendants, then we cross
00:33:33these descendants, well, each time we evaluate,
00:33:37which one is better, we choose the best one, this is optimization
00:33:40of routes and resource savings, for the passenger, this means
00:33:43predictability, the bus arrives on time, the intervals of movement
00:33:46are stable, and behind this artificial intelligence. thousands
00:33:50of calculations in seconds, and these are only two examples out of dozens, which
00:33:54are being developed at the United Institute of Informatics Problems. Neural networks
00:33:57do not replace humans, they become their assistants, remove
00:34:01routine, so that scientists can solve problems that change
00:34:05the world for the better. Kristina Sushchenya and Anatoly

00:34:12Procurement as a tool for developing competition with...
00:34:16How to find the line between justified and unjustified
00:34:20mediation, which industries require increased attention, and
00:34:23which innovations in self-funded procurement should now be taken
00:34:27into account. Legislative changes came into force in July. Guests
00:34:31of the Economic Wednesday project will answer the most pressing questions
00:34:35from the procurement sphere. Don't miss it, tonight after Panorama on Belarus
00:34:391, as well as on our website newsby and multimedia portal
00:34:43videobel.
00:34:47Billions under control,
00:34:49transparency, economy and fair competition,
00:34:53the regulatory acts that are currently in force, they are indeed
00:34:56structured in such a way that this balance is
00:34:59achieved, how procurement increases the efficiency
00:35:02of the economy, when there is guaranteed demand, then
00:35:05supply is formed quite actively, when mediation
00:35:08is justified, they buy furniture, yes,
00:35:12we start to figure out, and roughly speaking, the old one can
00:35:15still serve, and what has changed in the order of acquisition through
00:35:19own funds, the most important step towards
00:35:22transparency, towards efficiency,
00:35:25towards moving away from corrupt components. We will dispel the main myths
00:35:28in the economic environment after
00:35:31Panorama.
00:35:40In Kyrgyzstan, the search for missing climbers on Kurumdy Peak
00:35:44continues. Among them are Belarusians Maksim Polyansky and Nikolay Sviridov, as well as
00:35:48Lithuanian citizen Sergey Rubtsov. The rescue
00:35:51operation has been going on for over a week, the location of the group
00:35:54is still unknown. The search is complicated by difficult terrain
00:35:58and severe weather conditions, however, today the weather was
00:36:01favorable and an EMERCOM helicopter was involved in the rescue
00:36:05operation. A guide and high-precision
00:36:08video equipment are also involved in the search. Local emergency
00:36:11services and experienced climbers are helping to find
00:36:15the missing. All details of the rescue operation in Sergey
00:36:18Ladosev's report. We will be ready to leave on August 4 at
00:36:2210:00 AM. This is the last message that the group was able to send
00:36:25via satellite communication. The climbers reached the summit of Kurumdy Peak
00:36:29on August 1, its height is 6,614
00:36:33m. This is one of the dangerous expeditions in the Pamir-
00:36:36Alai region. The route is technically difficult and belongs to the highest
00:36:39category of difficulty. On August 2, messages came from the climbers,
00:36:43and 2 days later they were supposed to return to base camp,
00:36:46but they never did. As of August 12,
00:36:50the location of the missing is still unknown. Unfortunately,
00:36:53information about the disappearance of the group of climbers was received only a few days after
00:36:57they stopped communicating, which led to
00:37:00the loss of precious time, since the specified group
00:37:03was not officially registered. The Ministry will continue to monitor
00:37:07the development of the situation and provide all possible assistance in the search
00:37:10and rescue of our citizens. Among the missing are two Belarusians,
00:37:14a forty-three-year-old design engineer from Minsk, Maksim Polyansky, and
00:37:18a sixty-year-old resident of Salihorsk, engineer, candidate master of sports
00:37:22Nikolay Sferidov. Together with them, thirty-seven-year-old
00:37:25Lithuanian citizen Sergey Rubtsov disappeared. All professional athletes,
00:37:29I note, our Belarusians have the title Snow Leopard, as climbers
00:37:32who have climbed all 5-7 thousanders
00:37:35of the post-Soviet space are called. The group has dozens of expeditions
00:37:39to storm Kurumdy Peak. The athletes prepared for more than one
00:37:43month. Nikolay completed this standard in 2020,
00:37:46and Maksim a year
00:37:49later, in 2021. So these are very experienced
00:37:52guys, guys who can
00:37:55survive, know how to survive.
00:38:27We are studying the ascent route and the descent route in order to
00:38:31determine the location of the climbers. After
00:38:34determining the location of the climbers, the determination of the location of the climbers,
00:38:37real rescue operations will begin.
00:38:40Today, thanks to good weather, an EMERCOM helicopter was involved
00:38:44in the rescue operation. A Swiss guide is also involved in the search,
00:38:48high-precision video equipment helps.
00:38:51Funds have been raised for the search. The main attention of rescuers is on the difficult ice
00:38:55slope between the second and third camps, at an altitude of more than
00:38:585,000 m. Also, a drone was sent up to survey
00:39:02the area, with its help, the snow and ice ridge
00:39:05and slopes at altitudes from 4,000 m
00:39:08to 5.5 were inspected. Video materials have already
00:39:11been sent to headquarters and are being analyzed. The recordings are run through computer
00:39:15vision. So, above the first camp - that's 5.0 m,
00:39:19let's say 5200, at this
00:39:21altitude, with the help of a helicopter and
00:39:24drones, fixed ropes were found. Well, it is
00:39:27actively rumored that these ropes, that traces of
00:39:31the expedition were found and these ropes belong
00:39:33specifically to our Belarusians, this guy from
00:39:37Lithuania, but I do not consider
00:39:39this information plausible, because the mountain is difficult,
00:39:43the ascent route is difficult,
00:39:46and it is just as calmly, but also confidently possible
00:39:50and necessary to assume that these,
00:39:53fixed ropes were left by previous climbers.
00:40:57fruit, but the real gold of gardeners. Belarusian
00:41:01farmers have learned to grow apples that are not inferior in quality
00:41:05to overseas ones. The heroes of our report started with 5 hectares
00:41:08of land and a small orchard, now it is a large-scale
00:41:11enterprise whose products are known and loved in our country
00:41:15and beyond. Polina Beresneva learned
00:41:18the details. If you thought that an apple is just
00:41:21a fruit, then this is not entirely true. In this farm, it is a real
00:41:25art object. Just look at its ideal form, uniform color, and
00:41:28glossy shine. Such things can only be seen in pictures in textbooks,
00:41:32but here it is not only grown by hand,
00:41:36but also ours, Belarusian, and almost.
00:42:10there was not even much to see, many mistakes were made, but they
00:42:13all passed over time by selection methods by varieties, and then
00:42:17a horticulture program began to operate in Belarus, financially supporting
00:42:20it, at the beginning, well, from
00:42:23the state, yes, from the state,
00:42:26areas were allocated, but now it works. Igor has fifteen years of
00:42:30experience, he not only continued his father's work,
00:42:34but also created a modern apple paradise. Here, drip
00:42:37irrigation, anti-hail systems,
00:42:43and a method of feeding plants directly into the soil are installed, and
00:42:46computer models help predict even the development of diseases,
00:42:50infections, and the appearance of pests on trees. All
00:42:53indicators are displayed on the smartphone screen. We
00:42:57can set what kind of solution, what kind of EC, what
00:43:00kind of pH, what volume of water we should pour, or how
00:43:04long we should do it, it will pour itself throughout the garden, and
00:43:08the main emphasis here is not just
00:43:10a private storage complex with a controlled gas
00:43:14environment, here the apple seems to fall asleep in
00:43:17an atmosphere with minimal oxygen content and wakes up in the
00:43:20spring, as if it had just been picked from
00:43:23the tree. There is good modern equipment,
00:43:27refrigeration, modern microclimate equipment,
00:43:30the entire storage facility is computerized, we have a system
00:43:33that understands the level of ethylene in the storage facility,
00:43:37performs complete air exchange in the chambers four times a day, there is a whole
00:43:41team of 100 people working here, and there is also their own equipment,
00:43:44almost 20 units of domestic tractors with
00:43:47trailers necessary for horticulture. The indicators of the
00:43:50apple farm look like this: more than 200 hectares
00:43:54of orchard, planting density 2,500 trees
00:43:58per hectare, and apple yield 40-80
00:44:02tons per hectare. A well-thought-out comprehensive approach to horticulture is
00:44:05a philosophy of quality and the basis of the country's
00:44:08food security.
00:45:10yes, and the United Arab Emirates, but the main priority is
00:45:13the shelves of domestic stores. Polina Beresneva and
00:45:17Viktor Borisov, First Information.
00:45:20The realization of tourism potential is one of the priorities of the program
00:45:23of socio-economic development of our country until the thirtieth
00:45:26year. The industry should significantly increase its contribution to the economy
00:45:30of Belarus, convenient logistics navigation, modern
00:45:33infrastructure, diverse tourism products. The sphere should
00:45:36undergo serious transformation, including digital. How these
00:45:40tasks are being solved in the Vitebsk region, what has been done and what
00:45:44remains to be done, Marina Romanovskaya found out.
00:45:47Individual, group and thematic
00:45:50excursions have been developed, you can choose for every taste,
00:45:54you can independently create your own route, we can
00:45:57help you with this. Try treats at the cherry festival in Glubokoe,
00:46:01enjoy the aesthetics of two rivers in Dokshitsy, and also walk along
00:46:05the old streets of Polotsk and be sure to visit the young
00:46:08Novopolotsk. The information center in the Vitebsk region
00:46:12offers various travel options, the task
00:46:15of specialists is to help you decide on a choice among popular
00:46:18destinations or to create an individual route. Its
00:46:22main tasks are, first of all, to create some
00:46:25unique tourist product, a product
00:46:28that will allow tourists to stay in our region for at
00:46:32least four days. Today, a tourist on average
00:46:35stays in our region for 2 days, it will include
00:46:39interregional routes, similar tourist information centers
00:46:42will appear in all districts of the Vitebsk region, not only rest should be
00:46:46comfortable, but navigation, a well-composed
00:46:50route is important, because a tourist wants not only to get acquainted with the rich history, but
00:46:53to visit cafes, restaurants, take home souvenirs, to become
00:46:57a center of attraction, the region is set for comprehensive
00:47:00work. We are all united by a common goal, to create
00:47:04a high-quality, interesting product, new excursion
00:47:08objects, new features, routes,
00:47:11infrastructure are improving. The concept of secluded recreation
00:47:15in nature, but with maximum comfort, among pine trees on
00:47:18the shore of Lake Suya, forest houses with breakfast are located.
00:47:59six investment projects are already being implemented, three tourist complexes will be built,
00:48:09two hotels will be opened, the modernization of
00:48:13the room stock of the existing hotel will be carried out,
00:48:16the creation of a high-quality tourist product, its promotion
00:48:19in domestic and foreign markets, modernization.
00:48:22Tasks that need to be solved in the coming years. Belarusian
00:48:26hospitality should show itself from a modern side,
00:48:30among the novelties in the Vitebsk region is its own tourist
00:48:33brand. Mishka the traveler, is ready to meet
00:48:36tourists and make the image of the region more
00:48:39recognizable. So that everyone can choose a trip according to their family's needs,
00:48:43a tourist atlas of the Vitebsk region is being developed. The platform
00:48:46will unite the entire potential of the northern region in the menu, specific
00:48:50recreation options and...
00:48:53routes. The digital Atlas will also be useful for investors. Tourism is also
00:48:57a serious impulse for the development of the territory, and here joint
00:49:00work of business and local
00:49:03authorities is important to quickly move from idea to
00:49:07implementation. Marina Romanovskaya, Mikhail Khristoforov,
