00:05:29The planet is facing a new large-scale crisis. The global
00:05:32energy market has recognized the onset of a great
00:05:35fuel crisis. The paradox of the indomitable: airstrikes on
00:05:39Yemeni Houthis only increase their strength and...
00:05:43The European crisis has a female face.
00:05:46Officially christened Madame Nauseating Catastrophe. These
00:05:50in the type of Bushy: an outbreak of a deadly infection in
00:05:53Nepal. This is around the planet. In the studio, Daria Tarasova and
00:05:57Evgeny Belousov. We will tell you about the most important and interesting. Hello.
00:06:17Global oil reserves are depleted, and reserve
00:06:20mechanisms are completely exhausted. American
00:06:23oil companies announced that they had been warning about a global
00:06:27fuel crisis for several months in a row. Now
00:06:31this crisis has arrived. The conflict in the
00:06:34Middle East has triggered the most catastrophic development
00:06:37of events. The global market lost 2.5 million
00:06:41barrels per day. US strategic oil reserves
00:06:44are dwindling. In a month, diesel fuel there has risen by
00:06:4814%, and in a year by more than 60%.
00:06:51The fuel crisis threatens global upheavals,
00:06:54the consequences of which are impossible to
00:06:57imagine. The UN predicts that summer
00:07:00climatic cataclysms, combined with the fuel shock, could
00:07:03completely nullify the economic growth of the Eurozone in the current
00:07:07year. However, the crisis threatens to lead to other
00:07:10consequences. We will continue the topic. Tatyana
00:07:13Volkova. Fuel reserves in the world
00:07:16have been decreasing for more than half a year, and strategic reserves can no longer
00:07:20compensate for the deficit. Against this background, the price
00:07:23of oil is about 110 dollars, and gas is 100 dollars per thousand
00:07:26cubic meters. The American Wall Street Journal, citing oil company heads,
00:07:30warns the planet about the beginning of a global fuel
00:07:34crisis. This became an inevitable consequence of events in the Middle East,
00:07:38especially after the attack on an oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, which deprived
00:07:41the global market of 2.5 million barrels of oil per day.
00:07:45Prices are breaking records. In the US, a liter of gasoline costs about
00:07:491 dollar and 20 cents. Diesel fuel - 1 dollar and
00:07:5270 cents per liter. And this is at a time when the harvest of two crops critical
00:07:56to the country, soybeans and corn, is underway.
00:07:59We need to harvest crops, use equipment
00:08:02and diesel fuel. Ultimately, this hits our profits.
00:08:06The situation is already difficult. Sowing costs are rising, everything is getting more expensive,
00:08:10from chemicals to fertilizers.
00:08:12And now fuel too, which is especially noticeable during the harvest
00:08:16season. The US authorities are holding meetings with leaders
00:08:19of energy companies, calling for increased drilling and expanded
00:08:23oil production. At the same time, investments are being attracted
00:08:26to Venezuela, where America has control over part of the reserves. Against
00:08:29the backdrop of the price shock, the US president called on Moscow and Kyiv for an
00:08:33energy truce, but the global market continues
00:08:37to experience pressure. What this could lead to was clearly shown
00:08:41by protesters in Syria, where diesel suddenly rose by
00:08:4440%, and gasoline by 20%. Burning tires,
00:08:47roadblocks, blocked oil tanker routes, and
00:08:51demands for the resignation of the leadership of the country's
00:08:54energy sector. We support the state and oppose
00:08:57vandalism and destruction, but honestly, I've gotten to the point where
00:09:01I can no longer afford to buy bread. The war in
00:09:05the Middle East has become a global test of strength for the energy
00:09:08stability of all countries. Now is the moment when reserves...
00:09:12are running out for the most prosperous. In Germany,
00:09:15the average price of diesel at gas stations reached a maximum,
00:09:18amounting to 2 euros and 45 cents per liter. The historical
00:09:22record was broken by E-10 gasoline, at 2 euros
00:09:25and 31 cents per liter. A liter of diesel fuel in France is 2
00:09:29cents more expensive. The cost of gasoline in some places reaches
00:09:323 euros per liter. I don't drive often, but I need
00:09:36a car, for example, when it's hard to walk or I need to go to
00:09:39the hospital. It's outrageous that fuel is so expensive,
00:09:42especially when you need it. Do you think
00:09:45the government is doing enough to lower prices? It's doing
00:09:49nothing at all. There is
00:09:51public transport, but it's difficult to use a car, considering how many
00:09:55people are here. I just try to drive as little as possible.
00:09:59France, along with Germany, holds record fuel prices in
00:10:02the European Union. The most affordable prices are at Total
00:10:05Energies gas stations, where there is a price cap, but speculative demand
00:10:09has led to a serious supply crisis. Almost
00:10:131.0 gas stations cannot cope with the flow of customers, and 10%
00:10:16of stations are without one type of fuel. The situation has become
00:10:20so acute that the French Minister of Energy was forced to publicly
00:10:23justify herself before the public.
00:11:55the state subjects French citizens
00:11:58to this. The issue of prices was raised in Germany. Finance
00:12:02Minister Lars Klingbeil proposed to levy a windfall tax on
00:12:05oil giants to finance assistance to citizens
00:12:09with this money. However, Chancellor Merz rejected the idea. At the same time,
00:12:13there is nothing to reduce fuel taxes or introduce discounts
00:12:16for car owners. All free money goes to defense.
00:12:20The head of the European Commission also added fuel to the fire
00:12:23of fuel battles, speaking
00:12:28Let me give you just one figure: since the beginning of the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz,
00:12:32fossil fuel imports have cost us an additional
00:12:3590 billion euros, while we have not received a single
00:12:39additional molecule of energy. To achieve
00:12:41energy independence, Fonderline proposed
00:12:45to double the volume of energy production in the EU
00:12:48by 2040. However, she was reminded in the hall
00:12:52that her proposals were precisely what led Europe to the current situation.
00:13:55You will have to answer to the people for this.
00:13:58Energy agencies predict that market tensions
00:14:01and increased fuel prices will persist at least until
00:14:04the end of 2026 and throughout
00:14:072027, as it is impossible to quickly restore
00:14:11logistical chains and the destroyed refinery infrastructure.
00:14:14And after the EU spent 90 billion
00:14:17euros on compensating energy imports,
00:14:21the room for maneuver for national authorities has been reduced to a minimum.
00:14:56the previous political system is truly cracking at the seams, leaders
00:14:59of the largest powers are breaking anti-records of popularity, collective
00:15:03sanctions hysteria, an energy deadlock, and serving foreign
00:15:06geopolitical interests have resulted in a catastrophic
00:15:10drop in public trust for European leaders.
00:15:13It has come to the point where government heads cancel important
00:15:17international visits just to hold on to their
00:15:20positions. In France, Macron is losing control over his own
00:15:24security forces. The streets of the Netherlands and Italy are gripped by mass
00:15:27protests. I will add that Great Britain is even on
00:15:31the verge of historical disintegration. Why has the ruling class of Europe
00:15:34lost trust and what is this leading to?
00:15:41Once, the Old World sincerely believed that a united Europe
00:15:44would give its citizens absolutely everything. For decades, Brussels
00:15:48sold the world an ideal picture: an unbreakable union, eternal
00:15:51prosperity, erased borders, and a social paradise where
00:15:55a decent life is guaranteed to everyone. Millions of people believed
00:15:59that this project was eternal, but the prosperous years have passed, and today,
00:16:02all that remains of the European dream is a deep systemic crisis,
00:16:06which analysts
00:17:30In her native Germany, almost half of the population,
00:17:3345%, openly call her work
00:17:36a failure. Millions of people have to choose between
00:17:39food, housing, and travel, while billionaires continue
00:17:43to gorge themselves. Such is the state of your European
00:17:46Union, Ms. von der Leyen. It feels like you and I live on
00:17:50different planets. Where were you when Donald Trump threatened
00:17:54invasion to the whole world, including Canada and Greenland? Oh
00:17:57yes, you rushed to sign a free trade agreement and rolled out
00:18:01the red carpet for Donald Trump. The truth, Madam
00:18:04von der Leyen, is that you are erasing.
00:18:10The political elite of France is currently experiencing
00:18:13the strongest legitimacy crisis. President Macron's personal approval rating
00:18:17has plummeted to a catastrophic 16%. This
00:18:20is his lowest point throughout his time in power. Right now, Macron
00:18:23is losing his last, most reliable support - his own
00:18:27police force. The irony of fate is that these are the very people who
00:18:30for years rigorously contained the "Yellow Vest" assaults and
00:18:34literally saved the European Palace from popular anger.
00:18:38Hasn't the risk increased since 2019?
00:18:42The danger is constant, it is always hidden,
00:18:45present. The police are the last line of defense of society and
00:18:48the republic, yet, in the end, we do not reward them.
00:18:52Lack of resources is not an argument, it is an excuse. Let's
00:18:56stop using lack of resources as an excuse. Money
00:18:59is being wasted everywhere, either the government supports its
00:19:03police, or it doesn't. 5 years
00:19:06ago we voted in the National Assembly to allocate 15
00:19:10billion, but the government did not fulfill its promises, so
00:19:14if we pass laws, and the government does not ensure their
00:19:18enforcement, this is a serious problem. The police are treated
00:19:21like fools, and therefore they have the right to protest
00:19:24today. Paralyzed by fear, the main locomotive of the European
00:19:28economy - Germany. Chancellor Friedrich Merz,
00:19:31demonstratively canceling his important visit to New York for the UN General
00:19:35Assembly. World diplomacy waits. Merz stayed home to
00:19:39try to save his own seat amid a collapse in his personal
00:19:42rating to a critical 10%.
00:19:45He should leave, things are getting worse
00:19:49and worse at work, and he's constantly plotting something, for example, making
00:19:52people work longer, then inflation is really growing,
00:19:56every week in the Bundestag they talk nonsense.
00:19:59A lot of lies are being spread,
00:20:02some call Merz a lying chancellor, and this perfectly
00:20:06fits the description.
00:20:38Another electoral failure will automatically trigger the procedure
00:20:41for Merz's early resignation, and instead of applause in
00:20:44New York, he faces a difficult showdown with his own
00:20:47faction. National interest. none of the
00:20:51traditional, habitual parties
00:20:54defend it, neither the Greens, nor
00:20:57Merz's ruling party, nor any others, only
00:21:00the AfD openly and clearly speaks about what
00:21:04concerns a huge number of Germans, which is why they
00:21:07are winning, they are not some pro-Russian or whatever, they
00:21:10are pro-German. While the key EU capitals
00:21:14are paralyzed by internal fears, street riots
00:21:17are already raging in the union's countries. Italy is balancing
00:21:21on the brink of a harsh social explosion. Spaniards
00:21:24demand that borders be protected from migrants. In the Netherlands, people are protesting
00:21:28against NATO. Old slogans of European unity can no longer
00:21:32warm or feed people. I
00:21:36am against spending money on NATO. Now the government is forced to spend
00:21:395% of the budget on armaments to appease
00:21:42Trump, and this money does not go to ordinary people, it does not go to
00:21:46healthcare, it does not go to pensions, so it only goes to
00:21:53While the European Union risks losing stability, Great Britain risks losing itself.
00:21:57Instead of the promised prosperity after Brexit, London received
00:22:00a real parade of sovereignties. The national leaders of Scotland, Wales, and
00:22:04Northern Ireland formed a united front against English
00:22:07dominance. As part of the historic Cardiff
00:22:10agreement, they signed a joint declaration on the right to
00:22:13self-determination. The time of London's dictate is numbered, claim
00:22:17Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Belfast, and the new British
00:22:21is openly predicted to be the last head of government in the history
00:22:25of the once United Kingdom.
00:22:28Andy Burnham, as the new Prime Minister, said that
00:22:31Westminster is not working for the good of the people. I agree with this
00:22:35and I have often spoken about the need for a fundamental
00:22:38restructuring of relations between them. For me, this means
00:22:41recognizing the positive results that could be achieved
00:22:45through the cooperation of independent states
00:22:48on the basis of common principles. Absolutely, I am not
00:22:51an isolationist, I am an internationalist, I want
00:22:54to work with other countries on these islands and beyond,
00:22:58so I think there is a growing understanding that the current
00:23:01status quo is unsustainable.
00:23:05Fresh polls are shocking: a record 32% of Welsh
00:23:08residents are ready to vote for independence tomorrow, and
00:23:11support for secession in Scotland has grown to
00:23:1447%. The British crown is literally
00:23:17crumbling before our eyes, like everything we have known
00:23:21for the last 30 years. Cracks on the political map of the Old World
00:23:25are getting deeper, and this process can no longer
00:23:28be stopped. Olga Davidovich, around
00:23:31the planet.
00:23:36Northern Yemen and the Houthis controlling it have
00:23:39powerfully intervened in the course of world politics. Now people,
00:23:42practically still living in conditions of a tribal
00:23:45system, determine who will be the planetary
00:23:48hegemon. The USA. China or Europe? But
00:23:52definitely not Europe anymore. Strikes on the Old World economy
00:23:55are coming from all sides, and the Houthis can only deliver, perhaps,
00:23:58the proverbial coup de grâce or mercy blow, which
00:24:02will finally end the agony of the agonizing EU.
00:24:06But how did it happen that the most influential, rich, and
00:24:09powerful countries could not cope with a peripheral,
00:24:12quasi-religious movement, which until recently practically
00:24:16had no access to the sea? Neither the States, nor the petromonarchs,
00:24:20nor Europe have broken the Houthis. The genie is out of the bottle
00:24:23and has become indomitable. Probably, since they can't
00:24:27conquer him, they will now try to buy him. There are simply no
00:24:30other options. The floor is given to Oleg Romanov. With the
00:24:33Houthis, the international community, in the person of several Arab monarchies,
00:24:37has been fighting for 15 years. This may seem strange, on one
00:24:41side of the front, inexhaustible financial
00:24:44and, since money is easily converted into mercenaries,
00:24:47human resources. On the other side of the front,
00:24:50numerous, large and small tribes, united only by
00:24:54faith in Allah and networked administrative
00:24:57structures, if simply put, in southern
00:24:59Yemen, expensive weapons, foreign contingents,
00:25:03planetary recognition of indigenous authorities as legitimate
00:25:06power. In the north of the country, the principle applies:
00:25:19game. The Houthis play chess with a baseball bat,
00:25:23football with a Kalashnikov, geopolitical maneuvers,
00:25:26shattering the most subtle calculations. Last
00:25:29week, their army captured the coast adjacent to the Bab-el-Mandeb
00:25:32Strait on the Red Sea.
00:25:34God is great, death to America,
00:25:38death to Israel, curse to the Jews, victory
00:25:41to Islam. Bab-el-Mandeb literally becomes the gates
00:25:44of universal sorrow. This is how, by the way, the name of the strait
00:25:48is translated from Arabic. By taking control of the narrow bottleneck through which
00:25:52tankers with Middle Eastern oil leave the Red Sea,
00:25:55the Houthis can at any moment cause Doomsday for
00:25:58the planet. Partial economic paralysis quickly transforms.
00:26:05The situation in Yemen is on the verge of full-scale
00:26:07escalation. However serious the disagreements may be, the parties
00:26:11must seek a solution through negotiations, not by
00:26:14military means. The immediate task for everyone is to exercise
00:26:18restraint and find a way to end the conflict
00:26:21as soon as possible.
00:26:24Rumors have already appeared that Bab Mandeb is mined. Most
00:26:28likely, this is a panicked exaggeration. For now,
00:26:30tankers are still passing through.
00:27:10Bab-el-Mandeb to close it if we wish. Our
00:27:14achievements in missile and aviation weapons allow
00:27:17us to do this at any moment. Our goal is not to close the strait, but
00:27:21to open it to everyone. Maritime shipping is restricted by Saudi
00:27:25Arabia and its allies. It is their armed forces that try
00:27:29to stop and sink Yemeni ships.
00:27:33And so, if the Bab-el- Mandeb sees 6-7 million
00:27:36barrels of oil less, then increasing the capacity of Hormuz
00:27:40by the same 6-7 million changes absolutely nothing for the world market.
00:27:43Let the Americans escort oil convoys from the Persian Gulf,
00:27:46but the consumer still receives about half of
00:27:50what he needs. Hence
00:27:53the nervous fits of the traders. For a week now,
00:27:56the price of a barrel has regularly soared to
00:27:59110-115 dollars. It is not easy to understand
00:28:03why the desert warriors with Kalashnikovs suddenly gained such power
00:28:06over the world. Here is some knowledge, drawn from personal
00:28:10experience, that will explain, if not everything, then some things. I
00:28:13arrived in Yemen shortly before the civil war, which politically split
00:28:17the country in two, into north and south.
00:28:20The country was poor, constantly on the verge of famine, but
00:30:45are helped with weapons by Iranians, however, some production
00:30:48is established in northern Yemen itself: the simplest
00:30:51rockets, the simplest ammunition, the cheapest
00:30:54drones, and this is sometimes enough to
00:30:57deal with any cunning modern technology, including
00:31:01American fighter jets.
00:31:03In the face of brutal aggression against our country and people,
00:31:07the Yemeni armed forces, by the grace of Allah, shot down a Saudi
00:31:10F-15 fighter jet. It was providing air support to
00:31:13the occupation forces.
00:31:22Yemen and its archaic tribal structure determine everything
00:31:26here: attitude to life and death, to God and enemy, to
00:31:29their own and strangers. For example, everyone in the world knows about Osama bin Laden,
00:31:33but few probably know that his family hails from
00:31:37Yemen. Moreover, in the Hadhramaut province, numerous cousins, nephews,
00:31:40uncles, as well as other
00:32:27crisscrossed by gorges. These places are so secluded that
00:32:31American intelligence believes that Al-Qaeda is now
00:32:34nesting here. And 15 years ago, buses with tourists
00:32:54It is also called the Arabian Manhattan. Clay
00:32:58ten-story buildings began to be built here in the
00:33:00Middle Ages. Scientists still have not decided what the thousand-year-old
00:33:04Shibam should be considered. On the one hand, there is a version that
00:33:07the need to save living space forced
00:33:11the builders of Shibam to build their dwellings upwards, but... it is quite
00:33:17spacious, it could well have been built as single-story, without
00:33:21solving complex engineering and technical problems. There is a version
00:33:24that these buildings are so high to solve
00:33:28some defensive tasks, but this hypothesis also does not look
00:33:31convincing. The fact is that the walls of Shibam's skyscrapers
00:33:35are built of clay, and wood is used as
00:33:38reinforcement. Accordingly, it is equally easy to break a wall in a single-story
00:33:41or multi-story building. That is why Shibam still stands today.
00:33:54They are inhabited
00:33:54by people
00:33:58for whom the desert, a camel, and an automatic rifle are more appealing
00:34:02than any communal amenities. The indigenous people are always ready to return to
00:34:05the nomad's tent. It is impossible to subdue these people with
00:34:09the instruments of remote warfare. In place of
00:34:12fallen warriors, women are able to instantly...
00:34:24the number of locals, but there is not enough money to
00:34:27set up insurmountable barriers in the path of the ant-like
00:34:31hordes of desert warriors. The Houthis
00:34:34moved south in such crowds that the Saudi proxies either fled,
00:34:38or surrendered in captivity by whole corps. As it became
00:34:41known, Americans are already negotiating with the Houthis on regulations.
00:34:56The world is already seriously suffering from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. We cannot
00:34:59afford to add to this also problems in the Bab-el-Mandeb
00:35:03Strait. This will be a catastrophe for the whole world, and we are
00:35:07already seeing its first signs. Qatar urges everyone to use the tools
00:35:11of diplomacy. It is necessary to strive for a peaceful
00:35:14resolution of the conflict through dialogue. This
00:35:17is quite feasible, because in the end, an agreement will still have
00:35:20to be reached. Qatar is diligently working with all
00:35:23parties. The story of the Houthi military successes awakened
00:35:27creative itching in conspiracy theorists.
00:35:29It is known that Middle Eastern oil was sent to Europe,
00:35:33India, and China. But are the problems with its
00:35:36export really so troubling to Americans? Or perhaps
00:35:39the Yankees are precisely persistently provoking
00:35:42these problems? Here is the same aggressor.
00:36:27In monsoon zones, the risk of infection is especially high. Humidity and dense
00:36:31vegetation create favorable conditions for the spread of
00:36:34the disease. Untimely assistance leads to
00:36:38severe complications. work or food,
00:36:42more than a hundred people have fallen ill, and fatal
00:36:45outcomes are being recorded. Doctors are conducting express tests to detect
00:36:48infected individuals and are opening mobile aid points, but they have
00:36:52not yet managed to bring the outbreak under control. Daily,
00:36:55three to four new patients are identified. Anna
00:36:59Ivanova's report. Since ancient times, it has been considered a disease
00:37:03of wars, poverty, and devastation. The first detailed descriptions of epidemic
00:37:06typhus appeared in Europe as early as the 15th century.
00:37:10The peak incidence occurred in
00:37:121489-1490.
00:37:15The final stage of the Granada War. At that time, the infection claimed
00:37:19many more lives than battles. At least 17
00:37:22soldiers died from typhus. In those days, humanity
00:37:26knew nothing about pathogens, carriers, let alone
00:37:30methods of treating this disease. Nowadays, despite
00:37:33modern medicine's ability to successfully diagnose and treat
00:37:36this ailment, humanity is not fully protected. A vivid
00:37:40confirmation of this came from alarming news from Nepal, barely recovered
00:37:43after the catastrophic flooding. In the west of the country, in
00:37:47the mountainous region of Salyan, a rapid outbreak of
00:37:50scrub typhus was recorded. In just the rural municipality of
00:37:54Darma, in just 3 weeks, the dangerous diagnosis was confirmed
00:37:57in more than 100 local residents. Unfortunately, even with
00:38:00the capabilities of modern medicine, it is not possible to provide prompt help
00:38:04to everyone. Several people died from complications.
00:38:07Potential patients seek help too late, do not have access to tests, and more
00:38:11often try to treat themselves. In short, the actual number of infected
00:38:14may be higher. Currently, additional medical teams have been sent
00:38:18to the region to stop the further spread
00:38:22of the disease. The Nepalese outbreak of scrub typhus has
00:38:25a purely natural character; the
00:38:28disease is caused by bacteria that enter the body through the bite of a
00:38:32chigger, a microscopic tick larva. Infected
00:38:35people are not dangerous to a healthy person; the danger is localized
00:38:39in forested areas and fields; chiggers lie in wait for their
00:38:42victims in grass and bushes, and favorable conditions for the life
00:38:46of the infection are created by the monsoon season, which continues in Nepal
00:38:50from June to September. The main carriers and
00:38:53natural hosts of these parasites are common
00:38:56rodents. The infection is transmitted by ticks
00:39:00that widely inhabit forests and dense thickets; it is there
00:39:03that carriers attack people, spreading the disease.
00:39:07The symptoms of scrub typhus are extremely severe. The disease
00:39:10begins with severe body aches, especially in the arms and legs. Then
00:39:13the skin becomes inflamed, tormenting headaches occur,
00:39:17the mucous membrane of the mouth swells, appetite is lost,
00:39:20and sharp abdominal pains appear. To protect yourself,
00:39:23it is extremely important to clean up household plots and thoroughly
00:39:26clear surrounding bushes. This is vitally
00:39:30important for local residents and farmers who are forced to
00:39:33regularly go into the forest for
00:39:36as they are at the highest risk. The main
00:39:40problem is that the disease can easily be mistaken for a cold, flu, common seasonal
00:39:44fever, or another infection. Therefore, doctors
00:39:47urge not to self-medicate. If the temperature
00:39:50persists and does not decrease after ordinary medications, it is necessary to
00:39:54see a doctor as soon as possible and get tested.
00:39:58At the site of the bite, a small exanthematous rash, about a centimeter wide,
00:40:01appears with a red or black raised bump.
00:40:05Anyone who has seen such a rash suspects typhus. If you
00:40:08see these symptoms, you should see a doctor. Typhus can be
00:40:12completely cured with common antibiotics. However, if not
00:40:16treated in time, typhus can cause a drop in blood
00:40:19pressure, kidney, and liver damage. Prevention in
00:40:23such areas begins with simple but vitally important
00:40:26things. In the rainy season, especially when
00:40:30working in the forest or fields, it is important to protect yourself from moisture, and also
00:40:34to definitely wear long-sleeved clothing and long
00:40:37pants. At the same time, there is not always a need to use harsh
00:40:41insecticides; it is enough to apply a special protective cream or
00:40:45repellent to exposed skin. Timely application
00:40:48of such simple precautions will help to
00:40:51avoid bites and subsequent treatment.
00:40:55The Nepalese story is a loud reminder that in the 21st century
00:40:59humanity is still dependent on natural dangers, even in the age of
00:41:02high technologies and cosmic achievements, humanity remains
00:41:06vulnerable to diseases that raged 5 centuries
00:41:10ago. Smallpox has been defeated by global vaccination, but malaria,
00:41:13dengue fever, tick-borne encephalitis, measles, and typhus
00:41:16still test healthcare systems. For example, in
00:41:20Bangladesh, there is a measles outbreak among children. More than
00:41:23160 thousand suspected cases have already been recorded, of which about.
00:42:52The World Health Organization notes that infections
00:42:56transmitted by vectors cause more than
00:43:007,000 deaths worldwide annually. Anna Ivanova around
00:43:04the planet.
00:49:05At the invitation of the Council of the Republic of Minsk, a delegation of the All-China Committee of the Chinese People's
00:49:09Political Consultative Conference visited with a working
00:49:13visit. The high level of partnership between Belarus and
00:49:16China is largely due to the leaders of the two
00:49:19states. The parties agreed to strengthen cooperation between.
