00:00:44You are watching the news about the event development, I, Elizaveta Lokotko, will tell you. In this
00:00:47issue, the fight against cross-border
00:00:51crime, protection of the domestic market from counterfeits. Today
00:00:55is the 35th anniversary of the customs service and a professional
00:00:58holiday for employees.
00:01:00Voter turnout in the elections to the State Duma exceeded
00:01:0350%. Russian citizens can cast their votes in
00:01:07Belarus until 8:00 p.m. And for sports news,
00:01:10HC Dinamo hosts Avtomobilist in the regular
00:01:13championship. The live broadcast will be shown on Belarus
00:01:165 TV channel.
00:01:19Belarusian customs today celebrates its 35th anniversary. A new
00:01:23chapter in the history of domestic customs began in
00:01:26difficult conditions of changing eras, simultaneously with the acquisition
00:01:30of independence by our country, noted the head of state in
00:01:33his congratulatory message to representatives and veterans of the industry.
00:01:37In three and a half decades, a reliable system has been created almost from scratch,
00:01:41which our state is rightly proud of today.
00:01:45Having undergone an impressive path of modernization, Belarusian
00:01:47customs has transformed into a high-tech tool
00:01:51for protecting the country's economic interests and combating cross-border
00:01:55crime. Thanks to the professionalism, adherence to principles
00:01:58and loyalty to duty of employees, as well as
00:02:01continuous improvement of control and effective
00:02:04implementation of digital technologies, stable replenishment
00:02:08of the republican budget is ensured, favorable conditions
00:02:12are created for foreign economic activity. I am confident that
00:02:16relying on rich experience, employees of Belarusian customs will continue
00:02:20to perform their assigned tasks at the highest level,
00:02:23emphasized Alexander Lukashenko. Today,
00:02:27the department is not a barrier to legal activities. Rather,
00:02:30on the contrary, it helps it work in conditions of sanctions
00:02:33pressure and unstable functioning checkpoints
00:02:37from the neighboring countries, reorienting flows, helping
00:02:40to find other markets, since a significant part now
00:02:43comes not from the European Union, but from Asia. At the same time,
00:02:47it cannot be said that working at the border, that working at the border
00:02:51has become calmer. Contraband goods and
00:02:54narcotics are regularly detected here. Only in the
00:02:57last 5 years, hundreds
00:03:30of years ago, has it transformed into a technical
00:03:33device, a navigation device, a signal from
00:03:37which we can control throughout
00:03:41the Eurasian Union.
00:03:44Inspection and screening complexes and canine
00:03:47services provide significant assistance. Attempts
00:03:51to import explosives are detected. Last year, the import of almost
00:03:54600 kg of particularly powerful explosive
00:03:57substances was prevented. Measures are also
00:04:00aimed at detecting violations, protecting the domestic market from
00:04:04counterfeits and gray imports. Current
00:04:07areas of work include preventing the import and sale of drones,
00:04:11model aircraft, combating evasion of customs
00:04:14duties, illegal movement of vehicles
00:04:18into the EU, and much
00:04:20more.
00:04:23The first week is festive and working. The Day
00:04:26of National Unity, a large youth forum. And
00:04:30less than a day later, a working trip to the Mogilev
00:04:33region. In the middle of the week, we found out what
00:04:36Washington wants. At first, we thanked those who
00:04:40work for results without weekends. The official
00:04:44agenda and backrooms, everything was collected by our colleagues in the "Time
00:04:48of the First" section. Watch it today on the main broadcast on Belarus
00:04:511, the week
00:04:53of the first.
00:05:00State awards, as Terkin said, I agree to a medal,
00:05:03but orders are not bad either, opening the celebration of National Unity Day,
00:05:06so that we can be called
00:05:09people, American negotiations, hello. From
00:05:12the President of the United States, he supports
00:05:16everything we do.
00:05:19New participants.
00:05:23And the states lift
00:05:24sanctions.
00:05:29September 17th for Belarusians is equal
00:05:32to the independence of our state. How does one feel
00:05:35for whom Belarus is being created?
00:05:37Беларусь.
00:05:47In contrast, the difficulties of the end of the week, you will not work, I tell you,
00:05:50a working trip to Shklovsky district, if something
00:05:54is needed, thank you for being there, watch, the time of the first,
00:05:58without money,
00:06:06today in Russia is the final and main day of voting in the
00:06:09elections to the State Duma, turnout is high under the... Only in the
00:06:13previous 2 days, over 40%
00:06:16of the population cast their votes, and today it
00:06:19exceeded 50%. Across the country, about
00:06:2390 thousand polling stations are open, 400
00:06:26are located in Moscow and Moscow region, volunteers
00:06:29from the election observation situational center headquarters
00:06:32monitor their work in real time. At
00:06:36the moment, over 3 million
00:06:39ballots have already been issued in the capital. In addition, the situation at the polling stations is also being monitored.
00:06:51in Russia and deputies of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union
00:06:54State. No one bothers us, everywhere we are
00:06:58kindly received, everything is told, everything
00:07:02is shown, when moving around the Moscow
00:07:06region and Moscow, we choose the polling stations ourselves, we
00:07:09come, we look at the polling station, we go in. somewhere
00:07:13they perceive with surprise where we came from,
00:07:17but that's normal. We talked, by the way, with voters,
00:07:21we really feel such a good mood,
00:07:24people come responsibly to fulfill
00:07:27their duty to the country in which
00:07:31they live. Well, for example, I like that voters
00:07:35have the right to choose, if you want, you can vote
00:07:37remotely, if you want, you can come to the polling station
00:07:41in the old classical way.
00:09:22The center of The Hague turned into a battlefield. The action of right-wing movements
00:09:26"We are the people" turned into massive riots and clashes
00:09:29with the police. The plan to hold a full-fledged march
00:09:32failed. Cordon lines blocked the streets, and fleeing
00:09:36activists were twisted to the ground. The authorities deployed
00:09:39mounted police, special forces, and water cannons.
00:09:55I should note that The Hague has long been famous for its harsh
00:09:57police crackdowns. Here, traditionally,
00:10:00any unauthorized marches, whether by right-wing
00:10:04radicals or left-wing anarchists, are suppressed
00:10:07uncompromisingly.
00:10:10In France, another historical maximum
00:10:13for diesel fuel prices was recorded. The indicator rose to an
00:10:17unprecedented 2 euros 41 cents per
00:10:19liter. At some gas stations, the price even approaches
00:10:23the 3-euro mark. Earlier, Macron reasonably
00:10:27called fuel prices unbearable. He linked this to the blockade
00:10:30of the Strait of Hormuz and supply disruptions. According
00:10:34to the French president, the authorities are forced to constantly
00:10:37work to reduce tensions and ensure oil supplies.
00:10:41However, the situation with the energy sector is deplorable throughout
00:10:44the EU. For example, Germany is also breaking records; there,
00:10:47the price of diesel is even higher than in the Fifth Republic,
00:10:51the indicator exceeded the 2 euros 47 cents mark.
00:10:55Historical growth in Switzerland and Italy.
00:10:58The authorities recognize the situation as so dangerous that they announced
00:11:02the adoption of emergency measures. Prime Minister Meloni
00:11:05introduced a moratorium on the collection of transport
00:11:08tax.
00:11:11A shocking number of Latvians literally found themselves on the brink
00:11:14of poverty. According to official data, about two-thirds of families in
00:11:17the country are barely making ends meet. Alarming reports were announced by
00:11:21the Ministry of Welfare in a report on youth development and...
00:11:25People lack money for basic needs, including paying
00:11:29rising utility bills, housing rent,
00:11:32and food purchases. At the same time, financial difficulties
00:11:35are experienced in all regions of the Baltic republic.
00:11:39Moreover, economists warn of an impending new
00:11:42wave of inflation due to the rapid increase in energy
00:11:45costs. Currently, oil has surpassed the psychological
00:11:49mark of 100 dollars per barrel. Measures previously taken
00:11:52to curb prices have exhausted themselves, showing extremely
00:11:56dubious
00:11:57effectiveness.
00:12:01Careful attitude, care, preservation
00:12:04of Belarusian nature. Today in Belarus, Forest Workers' Day
00:12:07is celebrated. These are those who are daily guarding
00:12:10forests, which, by the way, occupy more than 40% of our
00:12:14country's territory. The industry
00:12:17combines long-standing traditions and modern technologies, from
00:12:21digital monitoring to advanced nurseries.
00:12:25This year, the department also celebrates its 90th
00:12:28anniversary. The result of such long-term work is at least
00:12:3130,000 hectares of new
00:12:33plantations. About those whose labor and care
00:12:37preserve and multiply the country's national wealth in
00:12:40Polina
00:12:41Beresneva's report.
00:12:47The lungs of Europe, such a worthy status is held by Belarusian forests,
00:12:51their area is increasing. This is evidenced by the figures in comparison. With
00:12:55last year, the number of forest tracts in the country increased by
00:12:582%. And these are not only commercial forests,
00:13:02but nature reserves, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and
00:13:05natural monuments. If we examine the regions in detail, Gomel Oblast
00:13:09maintains leadership. Here, forests cover almost
00:13:1247% of the territory. In Vitebsk, the indicator reaches slightly
00:13:16more than 42%, in Mogilev about 40%.
00:13:19The forest cover of the central region is slightly more than
00:13:2238.5%.
00:13:24And in the Brest and Grodno regions, the indicator is slightly above
00:13:2736.
00:13:31But behind every figure lies the daily work of specialists, which combines
00:13:35modern approaches and state support. As a
00:13:38result, we get the preservation and multiplication of one of the main
00:13:42national treasures of the Belarusian forest. My whole life is connected with
00:13:45the forest. I have been working in forestry since eighty-three.
00:13:49That is 43 years,
00:13:53and my father also worked.
00:14:25more like a plant nursery supplies young trees all over the country, in
00:14:28general, about 350 million seedlings are grown annually in the republic,
00:14:31and the volume of planting material production from
00:14:35a closed root system has increased sevenfold
00:14:38since 2010. The work is hard and
00:14:41interesting, you learn a lot of new things. What does
00:14:45a farm, a nursery in particular, mean to you?
00:14:49I compare it to my children, everything starts with
00:14:52a seed, starting to grow, bringing joy to the soul.
00:15:25will see for many, many years, but green temples are not only natural
00:15:28wealth and ecology, but also a part of the economic sector. Timber
00:15:32goes to furniture and paper production, raw material residues
00:15:36are processed into pellets. It fights well,
00:16:12more than one hectare
00:16:27of forest per capita, an indicator that many states
00:16:31cannot boast of. Over the past three decades, not only have
00:16:35timber reserves significantly increased in the country, but also the volume of its
00:16:38deep processing. This success is proof that Belarus
00:16:42is among the top ten forest states
00:16:45in Europe. Today, forest workers receive words
00:16:48of gratitude and congratulations. To which we also join. Polina
00:16:52Beresneva, Ilya Maximov, First
00:16:54Informational.
00:16:56In Belarus, over 3,500 road accidents involving
00:17:00wild animals have been recorded in the first 8 months of this year,
00:17:03which is 7% more than a year earlier. The main part
00:17:07falls on moose and roe deer. It is also concerning that
00:17:11bears have started to get under car wheels. The number of bears
00:17:14in the country is also growing. In addition, today we more often observe
00:17:17animals due to seasonal factors. Bears that
00:17:20approach humans are young animals that were driven away by females
00:17:24in anticipation of new offspring. That is, these bears have not
00:17:28yet occupied their own territory. In terms of time, this is
00:17:31exactly the end of spring, beginning of summer. Older males are most
00:17:35aggressive at this time, because they have their... at the end of May, in
00:17:38June, the rut occurs. Now the bear has a period of fattening, they
00:17:42actively gain fat before going into hibernation, so they
00:17:46actively feed. Where corn harvesting will take place, there
00:17:49may certainly be bears, but again, they are not aggressive,
00:17:53and in this case, they do not pose any
00:17:55danger. I note that officially, no
00:17:59cases of bear attacks on humans have been recorded in Belarus. You can
00:18:03find out about the reasons for the increase in the number of bears in the country today
00:18:06on the main broadcast on Belarus
00:18:101. The brightest vocalists from the northern region are lighting up Vitebsk
00:18:14today at the pre-casting of Factor.BY Children.
00:18:17Strong voices, charisma and a sincere desire to make themselves known
00:18:21throughout the country, this is what unites young artists, they sing
00:18:24A Capella. Many have already tried their hand during the first season
00:18:28and now came on stage more confident and motivated for
00:19:07No, but I really want to pass, because if I pass,
00:19:10then I will have many impressions, we watched with
00:19:14our parents in the evenings, how children perform on Factor.BY Children,
00:19:17I really like this whole atmosphere, I want to feel
00:19:21it too, the demand for participation in the Factor.BY Children show is getting higher and
00:19:25higher, especially after the simply overwhelming first season, in every
00:19:28city we have some top song that is repeated almost every
00:19:32five or six songs, but in reality the repertoire
00:19:35is diverse, on par with adults. Literally, children work.
00:19:39Vocalists aged 7 to 14 years old are expected on the project stage. Already
00:19:43next week, from September 23 to 27,
00:19:47the Factor.BY team will be working in
