00:00:37The strategic partnership between Belarus and Vietnam allows us
00:00:40to move from basic commodity trade to full-fledged
00:00:43cooperation. This task
00:00:46was outlined by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Maksim Ryzhenkov. As part
00:00:49of his official visit, the head of our country's foreign policy
00:00:53department gave interviews to a number of Vietnamese media. Joint
00:00:56work opens up new opportunities for Minsk and.
00:01:30us not only from the point of view of the market,
00:01:32a huge market, a hundred-million-strong market, but also as our
00:01:36gateway to Southeast Asia, in order to establish here,
00:01:40then, a profitable product that we can then implement with Vietnam
00:01:44in some countries of the
00:01:47region, this applies to both equipment and food products
00:01:50produced from our dry, for example, milk or from our meat
00:01:54products. Addressing the Vietnamese media, Maksim
00:01:57Ryzhenkov especially emphasized the dialogue of the leaders of the two countries,
00:02:01this is the foundation on which interaction in all
00:02:04directions is built. Let us remind you, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently on an official visit to
00:02:08the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, today the focus
00:02:11of the work program is on studying regional and industrial
00:02:15cooperation.
00:02:21Spain mourns the victims of the tragedy on the railway in the province
00:02:25of Toledo, the death toll is 68 people. Many
00:02:29people gathered tonight at the Madrid City Hall building to honor
00:02:32their memory with a minute of silence. The mourning action escalated into
00:02:36an anti-government rally with demands for the resignation of the Minister
00:02:39of Transport and holding the Sanchez government
00:02:42accountable. Police units were deployed to disperse
00:02:46the peaceful protest, and people were tear-gassed.
00:03:08Spaniards are outraged by the authorities' inability to ensure
00:03:12passenger safety, this is already the second major railway catastrophe
00:03:16in Spain in 2026. In January, dozens
00:03:19of people died when a train derailed in the province
00:03:23of Cordoba. Prime Minister Sanchez, whose political
00:03:26ambitions may be brought to an end after such a failure, tried.
00:03:32In all likelihood, everything indicates that the causes of the two accidents are not
00:03:36related, but that is not for me to decide, it is
00:03:39the prerogative of an independent commission to investigate railway
00:03:43accidents, as well as courts and companies that establish the causes
00:03:46of what happened, but one thing is clear: we must, as
00:03:50we should, further strengthen safety, we will do everything
00:03:54necessary to restore confidence in our high-speed
00:03:57railway system, because for a country like Spain it is unacceptable
00:04:01to experience two similar accidents in one year, as it happened
00:04:05to us. A national
00:04:09mourning has been declared in Spain. The Minister of Transport announced that the cause of the collision
00:04:12was a malfunction in the railway signaling system. The system gave
00:04:16a signal for the trains to stop, however, after some time, one of
00:04:19them mistakenly received a signal to resume movement.
00:04:2377 people remain in hospitals. 15 of them
00:04:26are in extremely serious condition.
00:04:30In anticipation of the scheduled tripartite talks on resolving
00:04:33the Ukrainian crisis, London is trying to strengthen Kyiv's
00:04:36position. The United Kingdom will provide a bank with an additional
00:04:40aid package of 12 billion euros, in addition to
00:04:43annual payments. Of this amount, more than 8 billion
00:04:47euros will be allocated to economic assistance over
00:04:503 years, and another approximately 3 billion are provided in
00:04:53the form of export financing for defense needs. The new
00:04:57package also includes additional funds to strengthen
00:05:00Ukrainian air defense, and the Netherlands also
00:05:04announced support for Kyiv, they plan to send Kyiv more than
00:05:07a billion euros in non-military aid for
00:05:102027- twenty-ninth
00:05:13years, what can the desire of European
00:05:17leaders to participate in tripartite talks between
00:05:20Russia, the USA and Ukraine say, we figured it out with an expert.
00:05:24No one invites Europe to these negotiations, but Europe is bending over
00:05:27backwards to be there, no matter
00:05:30where, as consultants for Ukraine or
00:05:33to sit at the tripartite negotiations as the fourth participant,
00:05:37to bring their own little chair.
00:05:40Because Europe is running out of steam, because.
00:06:12border guards' powers, now they will be able to use firearms,
00:06:16physical force and special means to protect
00:06:19protected objects of border infrastructure, including
00:06:23using explosives, unleashing dogs, if a person
00:06:26is injured or killed, the border service must
00:06:30notify the prosecutor's office immediately, but no later
00:06:33than 24 hours. Previously, such measures
00:06:36were allowed only in limited situations, for example, to repel
00:06:39an attack, at the same time the Seimas commission... supported
00:06:42the initiative to allow the border guard itself to investigate
00:06:46possible crimes by border guards. The bill
00:06:49must pass further stages of consideration and final
00:06:53approval in the Seimas for entry into
00:06:55force. At least three people died in
00:06:59India as a result of Cyclone Arnab hitting the eastern
00:07:03coast. Huge waves rose in the sea, massive amounts of water
00:07:06washed away cars and tuk-tuks driving along
00:07:09the shore.
00:07:25in Andhra Pradesh, torrential rains and strong winds
00:07:28damaged residential buildings, destroyed agricultural
00:07:31land and disrupted transport links. Authorities
00:07:35evacuated about 89,000
00:07:38people from dangerous coastal areas. The agricultural
00:07:41area of Nashik was severely affected, where banana
00:07:44and coconut plantations were damaged, numerous trees and
00:07:48about 6,000 electrical poles were knocked down. Heavy rainfall also
00:07:52led to flooding of low-lying areas in one of the port
00:07:55cities.
00:08:02To immortalize the feat of resilience, a book "Genocide of the Belarusian
00:08:05People - Burned Villages" was presented in Minsk.
00:08:08The publication continues the series of publications by the Prosecutor General's Office
00:08:12about the crimes of the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. The book
00:08:16includes unique archival materials, investigation results
00:08:19of the criminal case and new facts. The authors paid
00:08:23special attention to the destruction of settlements and the fates
00:08:26of their inhabitants. The data we receive during
00:08:30the investigation is significantly clarified during the investigation.
00:08:34If we are talking about burned villages, then at
00:08:37the moment the figure of 12,868
00:08:40destroyed
00:08:42settlements has been officially confirmed, this is not the final
00:08:46figure, it is more than 3,500 settlements
00:08:49more than was known before the criminal case was initiated.
00:08:52This work will be continued
00:08:55by us, and of course we
00:08:59describe this in detail in the pages of this publication.
00:09:03A separate emphasis on multimedia, with the help
00:09:06of QR codes you can access archival
00:09:08documents and video stories, an audio version
00:09:12of the book has also been created. The release of the new publication is a powerful
00:09:16tool for counteracting attempts to falsify history,
00:09:19designed to strengthen public unity and generational
00:09:23continuity. Another school for young
00:09:26combine operators opened in the Minsk region, this time the educational
00:09:30platform was the Smilavichy State Agrarian College.
00:09:34There are 15 people in the class, experienced machine operators will share their
00:09:37experience with them. The training site was chosen for a reason,
00:09:41the institution is one of the most equipped in the country,
00:09:45it has a modern competence center with simulators,
00:09:48and the fleet was recently replenished with new equipment for training from the Minsk
00:09:52Tractor Plant, which
00:09:54tractor we were given,
00:09:58and we are very pleased, because this is modern
00:10:01equipment, this is energy-intensive equipment, all
00:10:05farms of the Republic of Belarus have already switched to this equipment, and we must
00:10:09show students and teach them
00:10:13how to operate it,
00:10:15how to work on it correctly,
00:10:19and it is very prestigious, the students
00:10:22will combine theory with practice, so that
00:10:25in the summer of 2027 they can take their first crews to
00:10:29the field. The first such school in the Minsk region opened in
00:10:32Kletsk, and young farmers from Zviliejka and
00:10:36Borisov will also join the ranks of spikelets.
00:10:39Belarus ranks third in the world in flax
00:10:43fiber production, this is our internationally recognized brand, behind
00:10:46which thousands of specialists across the country work. How will the industry
00:10:50develop further and what problems need to be promptly addressed,
00:10:54all about the northern...
00:11:01Flax - Belarusian
00:11:03gold, which requires careful
00:11:07handling. Oh, flax needs, I don't
00:11:11know, to be nurtured, carefully. But
00:11:14why do some allow blatant
00:11:17mismanagement? Disgusting, this should not
00:11:21happen. Flax, you harvested it here, you ruined it
00:11:25here, there is no flax here, they leave
00:11:28the crop to simply rot in the fields. Three hundred
00:11:32is unusable today,
00:11:34all the new fiber will not make good quality.
00:11:38We will travel across the country and visit flax mills
00:11:42in different regions. The season went well, although
00:11:45we always wanted it to be better. We will see
00:11:49what waste-free production is. The shives then
00:11:52go to heating.
00:12:02We will learn about the key investment projects of the industry,
00:12:06to more efficiently process
00:12:08the available
00:12:11to obtain carded flax fiber, we will evaluate
00:12:15the strategy for years ahead, we provide
00:12:18ourselves with work, our people, we provide the state with products
00:12:22that are expected from us. Under the control of the President. with the support
00:12:26of the State Control Committee.
00:12:29Watch on Thursday in the evening broadcast. On Belarus
00:12:331.
00:12:37Emphasis on safety and quality. In Belarus, changes
00:12:40have been made to the conditions for training, retraining and advanced training
00:12:44of drivers of mechanical vehicles and
00:12:48self-propelled machines. The main vector is practice, control and
00:12:51highly qualified drivers. Polina. Beresneva with
00:12:55the details.
00:12:59The changes are targeted, but fundamental. One of
00:13:03the key innovations is video and audio control.
00:13:06Road conditions, actions of the instructor and
00:13:09student, their conversations, as well as date and time under
00:13:13recording, absolutely everything. And files
00:13:16of thematic control or practical examination, driving schools
00:13:19are obliged to store for at least six months. This will exclude controversial issues
00:13:23and ensure transparency when passing the exam.
00:13:26The video recorder is installed on the windshield so as not
00:13:30to obstruct the view. For future motorcyclists, there are separate
00:13:33requirements. Passing practical elements is now
00:13:36recorded on external IP and video cameras. Requirements for the
00:13:39training vehicles themselves are also increasing.
00:13:43Changes are being made so that high-quality trained
00:13:46drivers can enter the road. Currently, work is very actively
00:13:49underway to improve legislation regarding training,
00:13:52retraining and advanced training.
00:14:25how - video recording of practical exams we
00:14:28introduced even before that, and
00:14:31the only point is, now we are working on optimizing the issue of transferring and
00:14:35storing video material, since the storage terms have changed,
00:14:38video recording of thematic controls and
00:14:41practical classes has been added, and since we have a large fleet, this is a large
00:14:45amount of material that needs to be transferred and stored, now in
00:14:49test mode we have installed on one of the cars a GPS monitoring
00:14:52system, it is working in test mode, we are figuring out
00:14:56how it will work. So we have a
00:15:00GPS module installed for monitoring the tracker, yes. And we can
00:15:03track movement both from the phone and from the computer.
00:15:06This is where the car is.
00:15:10Can we see where it has already driven? Yes, everything can be seen. However,
00:15:14the changes do not end there, the Ministry of Transport also plans to change
00:15:17the unified training program. The main focus is on driving
00:15:20practice. The number of hours will be increased to 70, while
00:15:24the total period of study in driving school will remain the same. And
00:15:28one more important nuance: theoretical classes for
00:15:31training students will be only in full-time
00:15:34format, unless otherwise established
00:15:37by law. And I would like to note that all innovations and
00:15:41changes are planned from January 1st next
00:15:45year. Polina Beresneva, Nikolai Lashkevich and Ilya Maksimov,
00:15:47first
00:15:50news. Less than a day remains until the start of the 32nd Minsk
00:15:53Listapad Film Festival, already tomorrow the capital will immerse itself in
00:15:56the atmosphere of great cinema, very soon Minsk will...
