00:00:09Good morning, Belarus.
00:01:06The news continues its information broadcast on the first channel, the studio is Olga Kalairova and briefly about
00:01:10the main news.
00:01:12Farmers continue harvesting in the fields, the last golden hectares remain,
00:01:16simultaneously the potato harvest has begun.
00:01:19Incursions not only in the Baltics, in Moldova a UAV fell and exploded,
00:01:23authorities point to the drone's flight from Ukraine.
00:01:27And a powerful cyclone brings two strong rains, thunderstorms and...
00:01:30an orange level of
00:01:31danger has been declared.
00:01:34The progress of the harvesting and sowing, milk and meat processing,
00:01:37dynamics of sales of food products and measures to ensure
00:01:41the safety of livestock. The President yesterday listened to the report of the Minister of Agriculture
00:01:44and Food Yuri Gorlov. The harvesting of grain
00:01:48and leguminous crops is in its final stages, farmers
00:01:51expect a significant increase in yield even to the high
00:01:54base level of last year. The grain harvest, including rapeseed,
00:01:58is expected to be at the level of 9 million
00:02:00tons, including a record rapeseed harvest of about one and a half
00:02:04million tons. Good prospects for the corn harvest, which still
00:02:08needs to be harvested from the fields. Thus, the total weight of the common loaf, including
00:02:11rapeseed and corn, will be about 11.5
00:02:15million tons. Taking into account today, we will have
00:02:197% of the areas of grain and leguminous
00:02:22crops left to harvest. As of today, more than
00:02:258.2 million tons of grain, including
00:02:28rapeseed, have been threshed. This work continues and we,
00:02:32literally, taking into account the prevailing weather conditions,
00:02:35expect to complete the harvest of grain
00:02:38and leguminous crops by the end of this week,
00:02:42beginning of next week. The weather this year
00:02:45favors farmers, because, as
00:02:49our head of state noted,
00:02:51the weather is ideal this year, because all crops are developing,
00:02:55but taking into account grain and leguminous
00:02:58crops, rapeseed,
00:03:30the report focused on compliance with technological
00:03:33and executive discipline. This year, in terms of preserving the livestock
00:03:37of cattle, the dynamics are positive. Specific
00:03:40steps are being taken for this. So, Belarus continues to build
00:03:44528 calf nurseries, which must be commissioned by
00:03:47October 1. Foreign exchange earnings from agricultural
00:03:51exports by the end of the year may amount to more than 11
00:03:54billion dollars, thus exceeding last year's
00:03:57figure. The minister noted that
00:04:00interest in Belarusian products in many countries of the world remains
00:04:03high. Farmers in Belarus use every
00:04:07hour of daylight to harvest as quickly as possible. And while
00:04:11machine operators set personal records for threshing, their experience is adopted by
00:04:15youth crews. To harvest the last hectares of golden wheat, it is necessary to be ahead of
00:04:18schedule. The leading workers of the Minsk district from the Gastelovskoe farm work in
00:04:22this mode. From one hectare here, they harvest over 100
00:04:26centners. This is the best indicator in the
00:04:28country. The harvesting of winter
00:04:32grains is already finishing, 2 days are left and the harvest
00:04:36will be completed this year. This is our winter wheat, this is winter
00:04:39wheat, look, we see that
00:04:43the grain is ripe, the gluten, it's
00:04:46even such a color, the gluten is quite
00:04:50high, and what is important for us is vitrosity, because
00:04:53we fulfill the state order for BNBC.
00:04:57At the same time, farmers cultivate fields for a new... harvest. They have already started
00:05:01sowing winter crops and rapeseed. Sowing must be completed promptly before possible
00:05:04frosts on September nights, so as not to violate technologies and make
00:05:08a confident start for 2027. And... In the
00:05:12north of the country, the harvesting of the second bread has begun. Equipment has entered the fields
00:05:16of Tolochinsky district. For many years, it has maintained the reputation of a potato
00:05:19region. Local farmers use advanced approaches in growing, storing
00:05:23and processing the harvest. On an area of more than 1.0 hectares,
00:05:26seven varieties are grown. They selected those that please
00:05:29with yield, marketable appearance and taste. The
00:05:33factory has mastered quick freezing technology. Semi-finished
00:05:36products are supplied to fast food restaurants and retail chains.
00:05:40The team works harmoniously. In a week,
00:05:43we will begin mass harvesting. This year's harvest
00:05:47has turned out well. We did everything we could to
00:05:50protect it from diseases, pests, and
00:05:53weeds. Our food potatoes are mainly Belarusian
00:05:57varieties, such as Yulia and
00:05:59Skarb. The harvest from the fields is delivered to
00:06:03potato storage. The mandatory stage is sorting, humidity and
00:06:07temperature are under constant control, so that quality product is available
00:06:10all year round.
00:06:17An emergency in the Black Sea, a Ukrainian UAV hit a Greek tanker. Before
00:06:21that, the vessel had loaded oil at the terminal of the Caspian Pipeline
00:06:25Consortium near Novorossiysk. No one was injured in the strike,
00:06:28and no oil spill occurred, assured the Athenian
00:06:32company operating the tanker.
00:06:35The incident occurred in Moldova, the country's police reported the fall and explosion of
00:06:38an unknown aircraft in the south of the country, at the scene of the incident.
00:06:58Poland is preparing for a possible war, but hopes that it will not
00:07:02begin. This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the country. According to
00:07:06Tomczyk, Warsaw is building up its defense potential so that
00:07:09the army can conduct operations in extremely unfavorable
00:07:13conditions. In particular, the Wine Barons are preparing for possible attacks on energy
00:07:16facilities. Among the innovations, Tomczyk named
00:07:19the drone suppression system
00:07:21San.
00:07:24Forest fires continue to rage in European countries. In Belgium, 3
00:07:28hectares burned in the Hautes Fagnes nature reserve. The forest fire
00:07:31was called one of the largest in the country's history. Especially since the area
00:07:35was a battleground in World War II, and there may be unexploded
00:07:39ordnance there. Not only local
00:07:42firefighters, but also specialists from Germany and Luxembourg are involved in extinguishing
00:07:46the fires. They are assisted by military personnel and farmers from nearby areas.
00:07:50The fight against fire continues in Spain, 104 firefighters and
00:07:5436 units of equipment arrived from France to help their neighbors.
00:07:57With local specialists, they are extinguishing the flames in the Aragon region, where about
00:08:0116,000 hectares of land have already burned.
00:08:05Croatia also suffered from fires, one person died from the fire, and another 40
00:08:08were injured.
00:08:11Extreme heat and drought in Europe are causing colossal damage to many
00:08:15sectors, including energy, and not all countries are able to counteract
00:08:18the weather anomaly, expert opinion.
00:08:22The heat this year reached more serious values in Europe
00:08:26than it usually
00:08:29was, and accordingly, the general climate
00:08:33change indirectly affects, among other things,
00:08:35the availability of electricity from
00:08:39nuclear power plants, that is, it turned out that not only
00:08:42renewable sources, but nuclear power plants depend on
00:08:46weather conditions, due to the fact that in a number of EU
00:08:49countries, nuclear reactors play
00:08:52an important role in electricity supply, some
00:08:55countries have resorted to limiting
00:08:57electricity supply, in particular, this applies to Romania, but there, in
00:09:01some regions of the country,
00:09:04authorities were forced to limit
00:09:07electricity consumption.
00:09:15All global world trade is 80% provided by
00:09:18sea transportation, while in global logistics there is a term
00:09:22"bottlenecks". These are geographical nodal points that
00:09:25cannot be bypassed without colossal losses of time and money. Let's take
00:09:29the Strait of Hormuz - this is a key artery for the world market of
00:09:32elemental sulfur, sulfuric acid, carbamide and
00:09:35phosphorus. And here, blocking movement hits not just gas stations
00:09:39in Europe, but the plate of every inhabitant of the Earth. Under the blockade
00:09:43of Hormuz, prices for carbamide in world ports instantly jumped by
00:09:4625-30%. What is happening in the world economy,
00:09:50how much our well-being depends on the bottlenecks
00:09:54of world trade, will the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz lead to
00:09:57a new world crisis and what will happen to the economy
00:10:00of Belarus? About this in Alexander Egorov's author's project "About Money"
00:10:03today at 13:20 and 19:30 on the first
00:10:07informational channel.
00:10:10The weather in Belarus is sharply changing course. Stable warmth is being replaced by
00:10:14heavy rains. Forecasters have declared an orange level of danger. The reason
00:10:18is a powerful cyclone that replaced the anticyclone and brought heavy
00:10:22precipitation. In many regions, heavy rains, in the east, thunderstorms and
00:10:25squalls of wind with gusts up to 20 m/s. The temperature
00:10:29during the day will be from 14° in the
00:10:31northwest to 27 in the southeast. In the coming days,
00:10:35the weather will be unstable, but by the weekend, a return of
00:10:39warmth is possible. Rescuers urge to be careful and
00:10:42avoid being under trees and power
00:10:44lines.
00:10:47School is an important stage on the path to adulthood. It largely
00:10:50determines the choice of a future profession. I will note that in the country,
00:10:54about 900,000 young Belarusians work, and this year
00:10:57almost 10% were employed for the first time. Many,
00:11:01by the way, combine work with study. Which directions are in
00:11:05the top, in Anastasia
00:11:06Rutskaya's report.
00:11:09The first work experience is currently being gained by tens of thousands of young
00:11:13Belarusians. In the 7 months of the current year, about
00:11:1680,000 people got their first job. By
00:11:20the way, almost every fourth person employed in the economy is
00:11:23a young person. The top sectors with the largest share of young
00:11:27Belarusians are temporary accommodation services, catering, information
00:11:30and communication, public administration, creative arts, sports, entertainment and recreation.
00:11:34Young people are trying their hand not only in organizations at enterprises.
00:11:38About a thousand students became participants in the "Time of Good
00:11:41Deeds" project, helping in social boarding schools and territorial centers
00:11:45of social services for the population. These are young citizens
00:11:48aged from 14 to 30 years,
00:11:52it should be noted that the directions of their work are diverse.
00:11:55Young people who found their first
00:11:58job after graduating from an educational institution, as well as guys
00:12:02who are still studying, and for them this is a part-time job in
00:12:06their free time from studies, within the framework of temporary employment
00:12:09of young students in their free time from work, the employment
00:12:12service provided assistance for 7 months to about
00:12:1648 thousand young people. The employment service helps
00:12:19young people find their first job. This year, more than
00:12:2363,000 people took part in job fairs,
00:12:26and every third of them found a job. In addition,
00:12:30employers are supported, expenses for minimum
00:12:34wages and contributions for young employees are reimbursed for up to 6
00:12:38months. The first job can be temporary, summer, or
00:12:41become the beginning of a great career path, but in any
00:12:45case, it will give a young person an understanding of their
00:12:48future and confidence in their own abilities. Anastasia Rutskaya, Nikolai
