00:00:33Belarusians won bronze at the Games of the Future
00:00:362026 in Astana. More than
00:00:39800 athletes from several dozen countries took part
00:00:42in the competition in the capital of Kazakhstan. Belarusian
00:00:46athletes were represented in three disciplines: the Minsk
00:00:50House Team won Bronze in Phygital Shooter.
00:00:53Basketball club Minsk reached the quarterfinals of the Phygital
00:00:57basketball competition and Danielle finished
00:01:00in the first round of the Phygital Dance Tournament
00:01:04playoffs.
00:01:07Belarusian women's wrestling achieved a golden victory in Xi'an and
00:01:11China at the international tournament. Tokyo Olympic
00:01:14medalist Irina Kurachkina won the gold medal in a competition she
00:01:18performed with great confidence, defeating her opponents twice
00:01:2110-0. Her final victory over the Chinese representative confirmed
00:01:25Kurachkina's title and the Belarusian anthem was played in honor
00:01:29of her victory.
00:01:46Grigori Pakarski won bronze at the European Aquatics
00:01:49Championships in France. The Belarusian finished third in the
00:01:5350 meter butterfly, just 0.16 of a
00:01:57second behind the winner. Pakarski not only one.
00:02:30victory in Paris was the first in the career of the Belarusian swimmer at
00:02:34the European
00:02:34championships.
00:02:39In the final of the European championship, Belarus was
00:02:42represented by Anastasia Ariol, Maria Gnetic and
00:02:45Aleta Gureeva. From the very beginning Anastasia Ariol set a
00:02:49high pace in Fanson. She was the best, scoring 250
00:02:53points. This brilliant start laid the foundation for her success.
00:02:56Throughout the race Anastasia fought for the gold against the Turkish
00:03:00athlete Ilke Ozukel, in the end, the
00:03:03Turkish athlete proved stronger and Anastasia Aral won an honorable
00:03:07silver medal. The performances of all three Belarusian athletes
00:03:10brought the team a medal in the team standings as well. The combined
00:03:13result of Anastasia Ariol, Maria Agnatic and Violetta Gurera
00:03:17allowed the team to take third place and win bronze medals at the European
00:03:21championships.
00:03:27Northern Belarus is taking a comprehensive approach to transforming
00:03:30its tourism industry. A digital tourism atlas of Vitebsk Region is
00:03:34currently under development. The app will leverage the region's full
00:03:38potential. Information Center specialists will help
00:03:41travelers choose a destination or plan a route.
00:03:44Their network will eventually cover all districts of the region.
00:03:48Vitebsk region has also launched its own tourism brand. A traveling
00:03:52bear will welcome guests and promote the region's image. The image of this
00:03:55forest dweller evokes an authentic experience which aligns with current
00:03:59demand for.
00:06:52A view from Minsk on what is happening in the world, the most notable events
00:06:56and topics that are discussed, exclusive opinions, important
00:07:00comments from guest experts. Belarus Time in the international broadcast, with you
00:07:04Evgeny Koleches and Ekaterina Strikha. Hello.
00:07:07Global challenges, Belarusian experience and the Lenin Prize
00:07:11to the President of Belarus. Gennady Zyuganov. The
00:07:14hottest topic is the harvest. How much will we collect, what are the prospects for
00:07:18the harvest, why is food security so important for
00:07:21the country? A conversation with a guest in the studio. Belarusian
00:07:25ice cream in Shanghai trends. A big cultural dialogue in India and
00:07:29international sports victories, what else marks Belarus's time on
00:07:32the world map. What do they taste like, tomatoes from
00:07:36space. A unique experiment from schoolchildren
00:07:39of Ivy.
00:07:45Global challenges, Belarusian experience of working in various
00:07:48spheres and gratitude for the development of allied ties. The leitmotif
00:07:52of Alexander Lukashenko's meeting with the head of the faction
00:07:54of the Communist Party of Russia in the State Duma, Gennady Zyuganov.
00:07:58There was also a solemn moment of presenting Alexander Lukashenko with the Lenin
00:08:01Prize of the Central Committee of the CPRF, which was revived in 2017
00:08:05. This is an award for contributions to activities to affirm the ideas
00:08:09of a just and multipolar world, for efforts to strengthen.
00:09:12In addition to the main issues, in the course of the President's meeting with
00:09:15the Council of Ministers, Alexander Lukashenko called the current year
00:09:19ideal from the point of view of conditions for harvesting.
00:09:22There was no better year for agricultural
00:09:25crops, in my memory there was none. Today
00:09:28there is everything, even tonight it rained, it rained tonight,
00:09:32not like it would rain now and ruin the day. It rained tonight,
00:09:36the rain, by lunchtime the crops will dry out, after lunch
00:09:40you can harvest, or maybe even earlier. This is the business of
00:09:43managers and specialists, the year is ideal, we, we
00:09:46need rain, because in addition to cereals, we also have
00:09:50potatoes and beets, 5
00:09:52million beets we must get for sugar
00:09:55beets, there are other crops that
00:09:59are row crops, which today need moisture, so an ideal year,
00:10:03for now.
00:10:08All issues related to the work of the agricultural complex, the president keeps... on the market
00:11:25as well as in demand far beyond its borders. And of course
00:11:28, perhaps, we should talk about preserving, developing and
00:11:32increasing our scientific potential, our Academy of Sciences,
00:11:36the agrarian department of our universities and colleges
00:11:39in the direction of the agro-industrial complex.
00:11:42As long as this link works for us, we
00:11:46can confidently and calmly say that we will continue
00:11:50to develop, provide for ourselves and sell
00:11:53products for export.
00:12:27And if we talk today about those
00:12:30crops that are basically produced in the Republic of Belarus, these are those
00:12:33crops that help ensure food security, that is,
00:12:37our farmers do not cultivate any crops just for the sake of
00:12:40cultivating them. If we talk specifically about the crops that you
00:12:44mentioned, flax, rapeseed, corn, these are
00:12:47crops, well, probably, highly marginal in
00:12:50the first place, which today address a number
00:12:53of issues. First of all, this is ensuring import substitution
00:12:57of vegetable protein, this is saving, thanks to this,
00:13:01foreign currency earnings within the country, this is providing
00:13:05livestock complexes for our cattle
00:13:08with feed. And of course, if we talk about flax, it is
00:13:12ensuring the loading of our
00:13:15processing enterprises of light
00:13:18industry. If we talk about prospects today, then I would
00:13:22mention such crops as winter barley,
00:13:25sugar beet and, probably, alfalfa.
00:13:29This is where our scientists and breeders are working
00:13:32today in this direction, but today the task
00:13:36is to expand the varietal composition for these crops. You
00:13:40said that the regions of Belarus differ greatly in soil, in
00:13:43climate, in agricultural
00:13:45traditions, how do you manage to maintain
00:13:48a unified agricultural system in
00:13:50the country? Yes, of course, today, if we
00:13:53talk about the country, it is compact,
00:13:56but it is divided into four agro-climatic zones, with each
00:14:00year more and more, with each year, yes, and we see
00:14:04today even the example that about
00:14:0720 years ago, even 15 years ago, we
00:14:10didn't even think that we would be able to cultivate corn for
00:14:14grain in the Vitebsk region. Today
00:14:17the harvested area for this crop in the Vitebsk
00:14:21region is 30,000 hectares, this is a lot. The secret of success
00:14:25lies in two such directions: the first is a differentiated approach,
00:14:29the second is state support, financial
00:14:32support for enterprises, and what is important is
00:14:36both state-owned and privately-owned enterprises, that is, we
00:14:39today have equal conditions for participants and
00:14:43state enterprises. Well, you touched upon the scientific sphere,
00:14:46selection, the result of which is not immediately visible, but it is precisely it
00:14:50that determines the face of agriculture for decades to come. How does
00:14:53the Belarusian varietal school differ from
00:14:57foreign ones? Do we have developments that can be called truly
00:15:00unique? All today's developments, all the varieties
00:15:03of our crops that are grown
00:15:06here, they are unique, because they
00:15:10are adapted to our conditions, they
00:15:13have, if we talk about winter crops, increased winter hardiness,
00:15:16resistance to diseases, if we talk about spring crops, then
00:15:20it is drought resistance. And if we talk about the difference between
00:15:23breeding schools... domestic and foreign,
00:15:27then, probably, there is one such huge
00:15:30difference in that, as a rule,
00:15:33foreign breeding schools are transnational corporations with...
00:16:15Grodno and Samarkand regions signed a roadmap for
00:16:18cooperation during the visit of the delegation of Uzbekistan to the regional
00:16:22center. The document consolidated joint plans in trade,
00:16:25industry, agricultural sector, tourism, as well as in education and
00:16:29the humanitarian sphere. The updated agreement will allow the regions
00:16:32to launch joint projects, and Grodno enterprises.
00:16:35гродненщины.
00:17:07are traditionally in demand on the Kazakh
00:17:10market.
00:17:12Belarusian military personnel are taking part in the tactical exercises
00:17:16"Rapid Eagle 2026" in China.
00:17:19The program provides for several stages of preparation, joint
00:17:22work with the Chinese military. In China, Belarusian paratroopers
00:17:26will remain almost until the end of August. They will practice
00:17:30a joint tactical operation in urban
00:17:32conditions. Students of the Faculty of Applied
00:17:36Mathematics and... BSU won six gold
00:17:40medals at the 33rd International Mathematics Olympiad
00:17:43in Bulgaria. The Belarusian team showed one of
00:17:46the best results in more than twenty-five years of
00:17:50participation in the Olympiad. In terms of the number of gold medals, the team took
00:17:54second place among 135 teams,
00:17:57losing to the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. The Olympiad
00:18:01brought together about 500 participants from 48 countries
00:18:04of the world. Lida joined the route
00:18:08of the international patriotic motor rally "Roads of Glory
00:18:12Our History", which passed through places of military glory in Russia and
00:18:15Belarus. Its participants covered thousands of kilometers across
00:18:19the territory of two countries to collect material about the Great
00:18:22Patriotic War, in the cities where stops would be made. In the Grodno
00:18:26region, they visited Lida. In Lida Castle, creative teams
00:18:30from the Rostov region gave a concert "In the Name of
00:18:32Peace".
00:18:35Belarus and Tajikistan are strengthening
00:18:37transport links. From August 29 , the national airline
00:18:41of Tajikistan is launching direct regular flights
00:18:44Dushanbe-Minsk. Flights will be operated once a week on
00:18:47Saturdays. The new route will simplify travel for citizens and
00:18:51open up new opportunities for business, tourism and
00:18:54humanitarian contacts between
00:18:56the countries.
00:19:02Belarus Time in the international broadcast. In our studio, the Deputy
00:19:05Chairman of the Standing Commission.
00:19:37work at all levels, starting from
00:19:41agricultural complex workers,
00:19:43ending with the government, the deputy corps, our
00:19:47president, well, and of course,
00:19:50an equally important factor is that our food products are
00:19:54not only tasty, high-quality, but also
00:19:57inexpensive. The symbiosis, perhaps, of these factors is
00:20:01the secret of success that we have today. That is, did this
00:20:05happen historically or is it
00:20:08a far-sighted step once made in the development
00:20:10of the agro-industrial complex? Undoubtedly, this
00:20:14is a far-sighted step that our
00:20:16president took when he, first of all,
00:20:20preserved his own, his own industry, his own
00:20:23agricultural enterprises, specifically in the hands
00:20:27of the state. Sanctions pressure affected many sectors, including
00:20:31the agro-industrial complex. In these difficult conditions, Belarus
00:20:34proposed a tactic not to survive, but to become stronger.
00:20:37prospects Belarus and Russia are maximally moving along the path of
00:20:40mutual complementation
00:20:42and import substitution. What
00:20:45are opening up for our countries, our expert
00:20:49from Moscow will tell you about it.
00:20:53Over the years of coexistence within the framework of the Union State,
00:20:57Russia and Belarus have developed unique
00:20:59principles of interaction with each other. At the moment, we
00:21:03see that these principles have export potential. This
00:21:07means that the established relations between Minsk and
00:21:11Moscow have enormous potential for
00:21:15extrapolation to the international
00:21:17level.
00:21:20This is, of course, mutual respect, respect for the sovereignty of your
00:21:24foreign policy partner. The second
00:21:26aspect is pragmatism: we do not impose any
00:21:30ideological standards on each other, we do not try to teach our
00:21:34international counterparts to be what we
00:21:37are, we leave them the right to be themselves,
00:21:41but at the same time, economic interests come
00:21:44to the fore. The third very important aspect of this
00:21:47cooperation, it takes place in... in the powerful
00:21:50gravitational field of the economy of China, and
00:21:54China, as a new dynamically developing center of power,
00:21:58and according to many experts, already a global
00:22:00hegemon, even without directly participating in this
00:22:04trade and economic cooperation, acts
00:22:06as a guarantor that it will be
00:22:08successful.
00:22:11This was the opinion from Moscow, and indeed, Belarus,
00:22:15in its interaction with Russia, both in the agrarian sphere and beyond,
00:22:18achieves...
00:22:40In the framework of the Union State program between Belarus and Russia, two
00:22:43projects are being developed - "Intellectual
00:22:47Horticulture" and "Intellectual Farm".
00:22:50of the Union State, the goal of these
00:22:53projects, these programs, is to develop
00:22:56and introduce machines for harvesting,
00:22:59specifically 100% localized from domestic
00:23:02parts, for harvesting the garden, for
00:23:06processing the garden, specifically robotic ones, and also
00:23:10to introduce machines for working on dairy farms,
00:23:13this is already a collaboration between agriculture
00:23:16and industry.
00:23:20and highly intelligent science,
00:23:23digitalization, precision farming have long ceased to be exotic and
00:23:27are becoming an indispensable tool. With which
00:23:29partners are we building relationships in this direction? Today,
00:23:33undoubtedly, in our Republic
00:23:36of Belarus, there is a trend towards digitalization in
00:23:39crop production, robotization in animal husbandry, and
00:23:42energy saturation with the use of agro-drones in
00:23:45agricultural mechanization, and I want to
00:23:48note that this is precisely the task of the state program
00:23:52"Agro-industrial complex of the Future" for this five-year period to
00:23:54digitalize agricultural
00:23:58lands throughout the territory of the Republic of Belarus by
00:24:022030 up to 40%. What does this mean? It means that
00:24:06the country is rapidly keeping up with the times, and today we
00:24:09are working to ensure that elements of precision
00:24:12farming are widely used in agriculture. We talk a lot
00:24:16today about automating some processes, can we say?
00:25:50already at early stages, that is, at the stage of school
00:25:53education, active career guidance work, they
00:25:57understand today where they came from, why they came,
00:26:01and what they want from this profession. And
00:26:04probably this is also evidenced by the
00:26:06results of staff retention. After
00:26:10a young person has worked for 2
00:26:13or 5 years, today a large
00:26:16percentage of people remain in the industry,
00:26:20maybe not at the same enterprise, but precisely in the industry.
00:26:24As for state programs, first of all,
00:26:27this is the program for preserving agro-towns,
00:26:31today also - this program has been given
00:26:34an impulse, and today life in
00:26:37rural areas, in agro-towns, it is practically no
00:26:40worse than life in
00:26:43regional centers, cities, and so on. Today,
00:26:47agriculture is, if
00:26:50you are a young specialist who does not violate labor
00:26:54discipline, who actively
00:26:57works today, shows results, well, perhaps agriculture
00:27:00is one of those industries where you can...
00:28:32politics of the House of Representatives of the National
00:28:34Assembly
00:28:40of Belarus. And to continue, what else marks the time of Belarus in the world? In
00:28:44the studio is already Elena Putus. Lena, what's our route today? Well, let's start with
00:28:47an appetizing route Belarus-China. Our
00:28:50Kobrin ice cream is conquering the Shanghai market. Also
00:28:54a big meeting in India, the search for lost artifacts and the Festival
00:28:58of Cultures of BRICS countries, sports successes in
00:29:00the world. Our athletes with awards in Kazakhstan and
00:29:04Turkey. Made in Belarus continues to conquer foreign
00:29:07buyers, especially this hot summer. Kobrin
00:29:10Plombir in Shanghai trends. The branded store
00:29:13of Belarusian ice cream opened in late May, already
00:29:17a success. Residents of the Chinese metropolis appreciated the clean composition
00:29:20and creamy taste of the product. The bestseller is ice cream with
00:29:24natural berry fillings, such as
00:29:27blackcurrant, cranberry, and also marshmallow ice cream, unusual
00:29:30for the Asian market. Thousands of kilometers away, the products
00:29:34are sent in special refrigerators.
00:29:37The opening of the first store exceeded our expectations:
00:29:41trade is going very well, many regular customers, and
00:29:44what came as a surprise to us, the majority of clients are
00:29:48elderly people. In addition, many consumers travel
00:29:52a long way, specifically spending 2-3 hours on a bus,
00:29:55having heard about the taste of Belarusian ice cream.
00:29:59Well, colleagues, it's always nice to hear such words, and once again...
00:30:18In India, the heads of cultural departments of BRICS
00:30:21countries met, agreeing to help each other in finding and returning
00:30:25lost artifacts. A register of
00:30:28art figures will also be created, which will accelerate the organization of tours, cultural days and
00:30:32open a direct path for musicians and artists to production centers
00:30:36and festivals within BRICS. Important negotiations were also held on
00:30:39the development of partnership in the field of cinematography, specifically on
00:30:42holding Belarusian film days in India, expanding the distribution
00:30:46of Belarusian films in the Indian market, as well as on the participation
00:30:49of partners in the Minsk International Film Festival "Listopad".
00:30:53It was not without a vibrant palette of folk art, a significant
00:30:56event - the festival of cultures of BRICS countries. Belarus was represented by
00:31:00soloist-vocalist Anastasia Voronova. And the dance group
00:31:03of the National Academic Folk Choir named after Titovich. Belarusians
00:31:07were met very warmly. See
00:31:09for yourselves.
00:31:26Well, of course, the audience's reaction, I think, speaks for itself.
00:31:29Belarus always sounds bright and loud. Yes, and these are not all
00:31:33reasons for pride. Belarusian esports players are third
00:31:37at the Games of the Future in Astana. Bronze was brought by the phygital
00:31:41Shooter tournament, tactical shooting. This is a hybrid discipline.
00:31:44First, players battle in the virtual world, and then move
00:31:48to a real platform for playing Laser Tag. The strongest are determined
00:31:51by the total score. For Belarusians, this is already a bronze double. Last year at
00:31:55the Games of the Future in Abu Dhabi, our team also finished third. With
00:31:59medals are also Belarusian pentathletes at the European Championship in
00:32:02Istanbul. Anastasia Oryol won silver in the individual event,
00:32:06and in the team competition with Maria Gnechik and Violetta Gureeva, she
00:32:09climbed to the third step of the podium. The performance in Turkey
00:32:13was extremely important for Belarusians. Here's
00:32:15why: finally, we can again
00:32:19represent the Republic of Belarus under our flag
00:32:22and name. For the last 5 years, we have been competing under a neutral flag
00:32:25and were very much looking forward to being admitted to the
00:32:29international arena with national
00:32:32symbols. I am very glad that we managed to show
00:32:36a decent result in
00:32:38one of the first starts when we were allowed. Well,
00:32:42the return to the world stage worked out. Now our team is at
00:32:46international training camps in China, preparing for the World Modern Pentathlon
00:32:49Championship. But we continue to cheer for ours in all countries, on all
00:32:53continents. Elena Puntus told us what Belarus's
00:32:57time in the world was marked by.
00:33:02And again, the topic of food security, but this time directly
00:33:06from space. In the Belarusian city of Ivye, schoolchildren are growing
00:33:09tomatoes from seeds that have been in orbit. This is about the international
00:33:13project "Into Space with Your Own". Tomato seeds spent a month away
00:33:17from Earth, they were at an altitude of 380
00:33:21km. After returning to Earth, the seeds
00:33:24were distributed among schools in Russia and Belarus. In Ivye, schoolchildren
00:33:27planted them in a greenhouse and compared them with ordinary ones.
00:33:30Result: cosmic tomatoes had higher germination, grew
00:33:34more lush and larger, tasted better,
00:33:37sweet and sour. The results of the experiment on growing cosmic
00:33:41tomatoes will be presented at scientific conferences.
00:33:45They hope the data obtained will help better understand the impact
