00:00:00over Lithuania, during the day the clouds clear
00:00:03and the sky remains sparsely clouded, the probability
00:00:07of rain remains low, the wind will also
00:00:10be of variable direction not strong and the temperature
00:00:13will remain very similar, around 225 degrees
00:00:17Celsius, so after such hot days, we will be able
00:00:20to breathe out during the weekend, and we will start
00:00:24the new week with warmer weather again, so on Monday night
00:00:27the anticyclone moves further east, but still causes
00:00:30a drier and calmer night, a light wind from the southeast
00:00:34to south turns, and the night is already a little warmer, around
00:00:3710-15 degrees Celsius, directly it can be one or two
00:00:41degrees warmer. On Monday day, weather changes begin,
00:00:45as a new cyclone approaches from the west, so the cyclone's
00:00:48clouds should reach the western regions of the country, the seaside,
00:00:52there is a possibility of short rain, and isolated thunderstorms
00:00:55may rumble, but it flows with southern
00:00:58direction currents. Again, heat flows,
00:01:02so on Monday, the temperature rises faster again, up to
00:01:0524-29 Celsius, so of course, it will be cooler
00:01:09at the seaside, where the rain arrives, but again, a hotter
00:01:12day is expected in the eastern and southern regions
00:01:15of the country, well, after Monday,
00:01:19on Tuesday, that rain strengthens over
00:01:21Lithuania, so the cyclone moves further north, a whole large
00:01:25low-pressure system together with a cold atmospheric front, so
00:01:29on Tuesday night, more intense rain will pass through many
00:01:32parts of the country, and already during the day, only
00:01:36isolated rain clouds are expected, so
00:01:39in the eastern and southern regions it should definitely still rain, in some
00:01:43places isolated thunderstorms may rumble and the wind starts
00:01:47to strengthen with the arrival of the cyclone, so the wind from western directions will be
00:01:51quite strong during the day, in some places dangerous wind gusts should
00:01:54strengthen, and the temperature, so Tuesday night should
00:01:58be warm, about... 15-20 degrees Celsius,
00:02:02as it is rainy, the temperature will not drop rapidly, and
00:02:05on Tuesday during the day, that heat that arrived on Monday
00:02:09recedes and it gets a little fresher again, so about
00:02:1220-25 degrees
00:02:14Celsius. Well, in the middle of next week the weather changes
00:02:18again, so this cyclone moves further north and east
00:02:22and from the southwest a higher pressure
00:02:25system strengthens again. So in the middle of next week, on Wednesday, it should
00:02:28be drier again. The probability of rain remains low,
00:02:32the wind from western directions also calms down, gusty,
00:02:35so again, the gusts should subside and the temperature will remain
00:02:39very similar, so the night will be fresher again, about 10-15 degrees
00:02:43Celsius, and on Wednesday during the day the temperature will again
00:02:46fluctuate around 20-25 degrees, so the whole upcoming
00:02:50week is changeable, as we can see we will have both rain and drier
00:02:53days, but from the heat we will be able
00:02:55to breathe.
00:05:02Good afternoon, 4 PM in Lithuania and once again about the most important events of the day.
00:05:06According to Minister of National Defense Robertas Kaunas, the available intelligence information
00:05:10suggests that Russia is considering launching a hybrid attack against the Baltic
00:05:14states and Poland. Ukrainian drones could be used
00:05:18against critical infrastructure in Lithuania or other countries
00:05:21in the region. According to the minister, Lithuania has already taken additional security measures,
00:05:25and the protection of facilities has been strengthened. Russia, as the minister stated, has not yet
00:05:28made a decision regarding such an attack. Their goal is to influence
00:05:32NATO, intimidate the residents of the Baltic states and Poland, and since a Ukrainian drone
00:05:35would be used, to cause discord among allies.
00:05:39Recently, Ukrainian attacks have caused a lot of damage to Russian infrastructure,
00:05:42and the Kremlin has publicly accused the Baltic countries of allegedly
00:05:46carrying out attacks from their territories deep into
00:05:48Russia.
00:05:50Something concrete will happen in the near
00:05:54future, there is no such date. We
00:05:57are observing Russia's planning
00:06:00moment, let's say, which other NATO
00:06:03countries, Poland, the Baltic neighbors,
00:06:07other NATO states have clearly communicated
00:06:11many times, saying that
00:06:14we see, hear, know, and do not do that, this
00:06:18is like the old
00:06:21strategic Soviet Russian way of thinking,
00:06:24if you increase
00:06:28pressure, or take two
00:06:31aggressive steps forward, then you can fix certain
00:06:34conditions of agreement, which will be
00:06:37some kind of concession on your part, and then
00:06:41you will fix that situation, for example, on the Ukrainian front
00:06:44in potential negotiations
00:06:48as a kind of concession, meaning
00:06:51you created a problem, you created
00:06:54a perceived problem in the Baltic countries, you can
00:06:57say that there will be no more such problems,
00:07:01you will not do it again, but then the situation you
00:07:04want to fix on the Ukrainian front then, as it were,
00:07:08presents it as certain conditions of agreement.
00:07:14Following information that a Russian court in the Kaliningrad region
00:07:17found a Lithuanian citizen guilty in a espionage case, the State Security
00:07:21Department says such information is known to intelligence, but states
00:07:24that it cannot provide comments. The Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also
00:07:28states that it is aware of the convicted person and is currently seeking official information through diplomatic channels
00:07:32about the conviction of the Lithuanian citizen. According to the Russian
00:07:35independent news website Mediazona, a 13.5 year
00:07:39prison sentence was handed down to Aleksandras Poliačkovas. The ministry does
00:07:43not confirm this information. As reported by Interfax, the convicted person was sentenced to a term of
00:07:46imprisonment in a strict regime colony, and his phone and
00:07:50special equipment allegedly used to commit the crime were confiscated. According
00:07:53to the court, the accused collected and transferred information constituting
00:07:57a state secret on Russian territory from the age of 11
00:08:01to 24, which could have been used to harm Russian state security.
00:08:04The
00:08:07pre-trial investigation initiated at the end of July regarding the illegal
00:08:11crossing of the state border in the Lazdijai district has been reclassified
00:08:14and expanded, taking into account the currently available data related to the illegal
00:08:18crossing of the state border by approximately 20 people,
00:08:22and the illegal digging of a tunnel. The criminal act
00:08:24has been reclassified. The investigation will continue for illegal
00:08:28transportation of people across the state border. It has been expanded to verify publicly
00:08:31available information about the circumstances related to the actions
00:08:35of responsible State Border Guard Service officials and to objectively
00:08:38assess the established facts. The head of the State Border Guard Service,
00:08:42Tomas Liubajevas, after visiting the Kapčiamiestis border outpost, met with
00:08:46the border guards on duty that evening, inspected the border, and says it
00:08:49is a routine working event.
00:08:53I cannot comment much at the moment because
00:08:55the General Prosecutor informed me that
00:08:59another pre-trial investigation has been launched
00:09:01due to non-performance of duties. I am
00:09:04convinced that the officers acted according to the situation
00:09:08at the time and all risks. In his regard,
00:09:11I personally see no need
00:09:15to initiate an investigation, a disciplinary
00:09:18check or otherwise evaluate his
00:09:21actions. I am convinced that they acted
00:09:24correctly, there was no violation of the state border, no one
00:09:28was harmed.
00:09:32The signatory of the March 11th Act, the first head of the Lithuanian government
00:09:35after the restoration of independence, Kazimira Danutė Prunskienė, was buried
00:09:38in the Signatories' Hill at the Vilnius Santakalnis Cemetery. At the farewell.
00:09:42Alvydas Juozaitis, a member of the Sąjūdis Initiative Group, recalled: "Prunskienė
00:09:46and Meilė Lukšienė were the only women in this group" and
00:09:49emphasized that it was the first Lithuanian Prime Minister who visited the United States,
00:09:53Germany, the United Kingdom, France and forged ties with Western
00:09:56countries during Moscow's economic blockade. According to signatory
00:10:00Vytenis Andriukaitis, being the first was a difficult test, especially during
00:10:04an era of change. Economic blockade, difficult reforms,
00:10:07meetings with world leaders to break the Soviet-initiated
00:10:11blockade. Prunskienė died last week at the age
00:10:14of 84.
00:10:17Prime Minister Kazimiera Danutė Prunskienė had to lead at the most
00:10:20difficult time, when independent Lithuania
00:10:25was being built almost from scratch and even
00:10:28from crumbling foundations. Every day she had to make
00:10:31decisions for which there were no textbooks,
00:10:35nor pre-prepared answers.
00:10:38Today here, in the Pantheon of Peace,
00:10:42we remember not political evaluations, but
00:10:46a strong and energetic principled
00:10:49personality. Her cabinet of ministers was
00:10:53a cabinet of harmony. In the face
00:10:56of uncertainty and the constant military threat from the Soviet Union,
00:11:00it laid the foundations for the Lithuanian state.
00:11:04The ability to agree on a common goal and willfully
00:11:07pursue it, is one of the most important
00:11:10lessons of Kazimira Prunskienė's leadership.
00:11:13Thank you, esteemed Prime Minister, for this
00:11:16lesson.
00:11:20German officials are still investigating how an explosive-laden drone
00:11:23reached yesterday the important Leipzig airport, where
00:11:27Ukraine's Antonov aircraft base operates. The Minister of Interior
00:11:30stated that the incident is considered a hybrid attack scenario. The
00:11:34incident and the technologies used indicate that the operation could have been carried out
00:11:37by professionals. Media reports that the drone was carrying about
00:11:40800 grams of military explosives. While the airport was
00:11:43closed, another nearby aircraft reported encountering
00:11:47an unknown object, and NATO experts will participate
00:11:50in the investigation.
00:11:55to say that we must treat this as a very serious security incident. In my
00:11:58assessment, we are dealing with a hybrid attack scenario that unfolded
00:12:02as follows. Last night, a drone was spotted
00:12:06near Leipzig airport. Explosives were installed in this drone. This
00:12:09is a new level of threat. In the past, we have encountered drones and the threats
00:12:13they pose, also in a hybrid context. But a drone armed
00:12:16with explosives in the airport area is a new threat
00:12:20scenario.
00:12:23In Russia's Yaroslavl region, 300 km from Moscow,
00:12:27a large oil refinery is burning after a Ukrainian drone attack.
00:12:30Local officials report that falling drone debris hit the refinery's
00:12:34storage tanks. Volodymyr
00:12:37Zelensky stated that drones also struck an oil refinery in the
00:12:40Bashkortostan Republic. In Ukraine,
00:12:43Russian drones struck a railway station in the Kharkiv region, killing two
00:12:46people and injuring eight. In the neighboring Sumy region, Russian drones
00:12:50killed three people. Attacks continue in Black Sea
00:12:53cities. In Odesa, a drone attacked a grain-carrying
00:12:57ship, killing one person and injuring
00:12:59three.
00:13:02The Swedish Supreme Court announced that it upheld the decision, according to which
00:13:06a cargo ship detained in the Baltic Sea this year can be transferred
00:13:10to Ukraine. The ship is suspected of illegally transporting grain from
00:13:13Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory. The court rejected the ship
00:13:16owners' appeal. The ship was detained in March off the southern Swedish
00:13:20coast, suspected of sailing under a foreign flag, being unfit
00:13:23for operation and... violating maritime transport and shipping safety
00:13:27laws. Ukraine requested the transfer of the ship to continue the investigation
00:13:31into war crimes related to the appropriation and removal of property
00:13:34from occupied
00:13:35territory.
00:13:39In the swing state of Michigan, it became clear who will represent the Democrats
00:13:42in the Senate elections in the autumn. With a narrow margin, the victory
00:13:46is celebrated by the Egyptian-born leftist Abdul
00:13:48El-Sayed. His victory over a more moderate centrist
00:13:52candidate is called an important sign for the Democratic Party itself
00:13:55by analysts, which is still searching for its
00:13:58identity before the midterm elections.
00:14:01The president's speech in Las Vegas was supposed to be about the economy, but when it
00:14:04was interrupted by the war with Iran, the speeches quickly turned towards hatred
00:14:08for Democrats. Donald Trump cursed the leftist Democrat
00:14:11Abdul El-Sayed, who won the elections in Michigan.
00:14:14He doesn't love Israel, he doesn't love
00:14:18Jews, he hates them, he hates them with all his heart and can't
00:14:21do anything about it. In the elections in Michigan,
00:14:25it was decided who will represent the Democrats in the Senate race in the autumn.
00:14:28The leftist El-Sayed narrowly defeated
00:14:32the moderate Democrat Haley Stevens, who was supported
00:14:35by pro-Israel
00:14:38groups. I spent many of my childhood summers in Egypt, there I could realize
00:14:41what life would be like if I had been born there, but I was born
00:14:45in America. I was vaccinated against diseases that killed my aunt and uncle,
00:14:48whom I never got
00:14:50to know.
00:14:55In it, in the two-time narrow lead state that supported Trump
00:14:58in the presidential elections, the autumn battle will be one of the key ones, it will determine whether
00:15:01the Democrats will manage to regain control of the Senate. In order
00:15:05to secure its control and thus the ability to block most of Trump's
00:15:08agenda for the remainder of his term, Democrats
00:15:12must hold Michigan and take four Republican
00:15:15seats elsewhere in the country. In response
00:15:19to the question of whether there is a prevailing bias against immoderate
00:15:22candidates in the swing state, who previously did not hold elected office,
00:15:26there is also a prevailing bias against Muslim candidates. So
00:15:30the fight in Michigan is called a much broader one. The Democratic Party is looking for
00:15:33an identity after losing the elections to Trump.
00:15:37Socialists and globalists have already had their chance, and their legacy is only
00:15:41disaster. As Trump declares war on the left, his
00:15:45supporters, at least in Michigan, seem only more united. Al-Sayed,
00:15:48who has a medical background, is congratulated by the recently elected
00:15:51New York mayor, who calls himself a socialist. This shows how
00:15:55much the Republican Party has drifted away from the concerns
00:15:58of the American working class.
00:16:01He is a capitalist and disassociates himself from the Democratic Socialists of America
00:16:04organization, but he supports a non-privatized
00:16:08healthcare system, advocates for a wealth tax, greater state
00:16:11control in social policy, and seeks to soften Trump's strict
00:16:15immigration control.
00:16:19Lithuania plans to popularize itself with food.
00:16:21It aims to become one of the most famous gastronomic
00:16:25countries within a decade. The country is developing a gastronomy strategy for the first time.
00:16:28The Minister of Economy and Innovation says this will attract more tourists and new
00:16:32investments. However, tax breaks for restaurants are not planned,
00:16:36although they say this would actually help
00:16:38the economy.
00:16:42Tourists from Spain and Australia are looking for sausages in the marketplace.
00:16:46Some have already tasted more dishes. I tasted cepelinai, I liked
00:16:49it very much.
00:16:53A country of excellent food. Cepelinai, schnitzel, shashlik, herring.
00:16:56How I love herring. There are no such
00:16:59things in Australia, so I have to come to
00:17:01Lithuania.
00:17:05Chefs of restaurants operating in Lithuania say that the country stands out not for potato
00:17:09dishes, those cepilinai, potato pancakes, it's not just about potatoes, but
00:17:12about game meat, like
00:17:15fruits, vegetables, spices also
00:17:18different ones, and they say they use Lithuanian
00:17:21products in various ways, tomatoes, let's say, zucchini
00:17:25and so on, we marinate our zucchini, carrots
00:17:28and all these things, we use a lot
00:17:31of herbs and make sauces and so on, we like
00:17:35to experiment with such... global
00:17:38/ Lithuanian combinations, for example,
00:17:40pork with shrimp or
00:17:44bacon placed in an unconventional
00:17:47place. To popularize Lithuanian cuisine, the Ministry of Economy
00:17:51and Innovation, together with chefs, will create the first Lithuanian
00:17:54gastronomy strategy, according to which over the next 10 years the country
00:17:57will seek to attract world-class events, encourage more chefs
00:18:01to create exclusive dishes. The biggest ambition today you might
00:18:05think is utopian and... but it's impossible, but
00:18:09Lithuania will be a gastronomy Mecca in the next 10
00:18:12years. Some countries have long been famous for their food.
00:18:16Italy's national cuisine was included in UNESCO's
00:18:19intangible cultural heritage list last year. So the government is now preparing
00:18:22these several strategies that cover both
00:18:26the preservation of authentic products,
00:18:29special protection for farmers, more attention
00:18:32will be given to them, as well as the fight against all kinds
00:18:36of imitations. Italian products that are produced abroad,
00:18:40that is, even the country's soft power tools,
00:18:43with which a lot can actually be achieved.
00:18:47Lithuania will seek to establish a Baltic Gastronomy and Innovation
00:18:50Center. The Minister of Economy and Innovation states that this will be beneficial
00:18:54for the economy. This is an opportunity to expand the circle of countries from
00:18:58which we attract tourists and, you know, from such
00:19:01visits relationships are forged even with investors. Nevertheless,
00:19:05recently not one restaurant
00:19:07has declared bankruptcy. Sector representatives constantly ask the government to reinstate the preferential
00:19:119% value-added tax rate for food services that was in effect
00:19:14during the COVID pandemic. The minister says there is no
00:19:17need for that at the moment. Turnover is growing,
00:19:21the number of companies operating in the catering sector is also growing, of course,
00:19:24this is influenced by summer. How do we want to increase that
00:19:28number of tourists by being the most expensive
00:19:31in Europe? There will be some uniqueness in us, that
00:19:34seasonality, for example, everything is more
00:19:38expensive for us, even the same outdoor
00:19:41we have to change them twice, because there are special varieties that
00:19:45do not freeze. A survey conducted in Lithuania, where several
00:19:49answer options could be selected, showed that almost
00:19:5280% of tourists choose Lithuania for gastronomic
00:19:55experiences, almost the same number for nature
00:19:57and culture.
00:20:00The opposition Nemunas Aušra party rose to third place in the ratings table,
00:20:04with the Homeland Union - Lithuanian Christian Democrats remaining first. This is shown by
00:20:07a public opinion poll conducted by Spinter Tyrimai for the Delfi news portal
00:20:11in July. The ruling Social Democrats
00:20:14are in second place, while in the position of prime minister, most respondents
00:20:17still see the former prime minister, Conservative Ingrida
00:20:20Šimonytė. The chairman of Nemunas Aušra, Remigijus Žemaitaitis,
00:20:24rose to second place, while the current prime minister, Social Democrat
00:20:27Mindaugas Sinkevičius, chairman of the Social Democrats,
00:20:29is third.
00:20:33In Germany, as the most important shipping river, the Rhine,
00:20:36continues to dry up, a new record low water level is expected
00:20:39today. The transport minister, appointed just a week ago, is holding
00:20:43an urgent meeting today with industry and business representatives to discuss what measures
00:20:47to take when some shipping companies are suspending navigation. And
00:20:50others can only carry a small portion of their usual cargo. When
00:20:54the economy is already stuck, supply chain disruptions and rising cargo
00:20:58transport costs could deal another severe
00:21:00blow.
00:21:03Everyday it gets shallower, the most important waterway of Germany, for some
00:21:07ships it's already completely shallow, others can still transport cargo,
00:21:10but only a small part of it. Shipping companies already increased
00:21:14prices in July, now they are three times higher than in June, but some
00:21:17have already completely stopped container transport in long
00:21:20stretches of the river.
00:21:23A ship that usually transports 2- 2,500 tons
00:21:27of cargo can now transport 400, maybe 600
00:21:30tons, depending on the type. This puts a huge
00:21:34burden on the entire transport chain, to reorganize
00:21:36everything so that goods still reach
00:21:39their destination. This section of the Rhine near Kaub, not far from
00:21:43Koblenz, is considered the basis for measurements for ships that transport
00:21:46cargo to Southern Germany and Switzerland. Here, the river's depth
00:21:50for normal navigation should be 40 cm, but
00:21:53yesterday there were only 23 left. The previous
00:21:57anti-record in 2018 was
00:21:5925 cm, the river itself is about a meter
00:22:03deeper. Meteorologists predict that already today
00:22:06the navigational depth will decrease further.
00:22:09In sight, in the coming days, no changes are visible, no significant
00:22:12rain that would bring relief.
00:22:15The Rhine is the second longest river in Western and Central Europe after the Danube
00:22:19and. countries depend on its waters, next to grain,
00:22:23coal, fuel, ores and chemicals, the river transports
00:22:26goods that are difficult to transport by road or rail, such as
00:22:30steel structures for construction. The country's construction federation warned that
00:22:34when the Rhine can no longer be relied upon, the transport
00:22:36and logistics situation becomes vulnerable. When Europe's largest
00:22:40economy is already barely growing due to high energy
00:22:43prices and foreign competition, the industry says it cannot bear
00:22:47another burden, therefore the construction federation
00:22:50asks the government for long-term solutions for
00:22:52shipping. One alternative, of course, is
00:22:56to use so-called shallow draft ships, but as
00:23:00you can imagine, you can't build them overnight. A ship usually takes
00:23:041.5 to 3 years to build. Depending
00:23:07on the size. And of course, given the size of the Rhine fleet, this is only
00:23:11possible gradually. Just last week, the government
00:23:15reassured that there would be no major impact on the economy, saying that
00:23:18many companies had already reorganized supply chains, arranged for other
00:23:22ways to transport goods and warehouses in other locations, but
00:23:25the meeting today during the peak holiday season shows that
00:23:29the assessments are changing.
00:23:32Today, thunderstorms, gusty winds or even squalls are forecast
00:23:36in various Lithuanian cities. In the afternoon, short rains with thunderstorms
00:23:40are expected in most of the country, and in southern Lithuania, squalls and hail
00:23:43may occur. According to the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service,
00:23:46the strongest thunderstorms are forecast to pass through the Marijampolė,
00:23:51Alytus, Kaunas and Vilnius counties. Some residents of the country also received alerts
00:23:54from the population warning system that due to severe
00:23:57thunderstorms, trees may fall, and electricity may be cut off. The service
00:24:00emphasized that summer thunderstorms are difficult to forecast, so the location where they will form
00:24:04the most powerful storm clouds can still
00:24:06change.
00:24:09We expect heavy rain in a short period, when
00:24:12more than 15 mm of rain would fall, squally
00:24:15wind gusts of more than 15 m/s, those sudden
00:24:19ones. And hail from 6 mm, everything will
00:24:22depend heavily on the development of clouds,
00:24:26so it's possible that we will get something similar, when
00:24:29really large amounts of rain will fall in a very short
00:24:32time, again, the trajectory
00:24:35that these clouds will take will depend,
00:24:39because it's possible that in a very small,
00:24:43narrow strip we will get such more intense,
00:24:46let's say, downpours, and elsewhere just such a summery super...
00:24:50downpour will roar.
00:24:54With the heat drying up pastures, European farmers raising cows
00:24:57are facing declining milk yields and falling milk
00:25:00fat content. Some are trying to cool their cows and change their feed, while
00:25:04others are simply sending them to slaughterhouses, because buying additional feed is
00:25:07no longer profitable. Still others are looking for long-term solutions, to raise
00:25:11more resistant cattle.
00:25:14Fans in this Slovak dairy farm work day
00:25:17and night. The heat yesterday reached a historic record,
00:25:20and this cooperative near Bratislava milks one and a
00:25:24half liters less per day than a week
00:25:27ago. Purchase prices are already low. We need to create a better environment for our cows,
00:25:31it's in our hands, so we do what we can, but under the current
00:25:34conditions, we cannot talk about any profit. Milked
00:25:38cows are watered, zootechnicians make sure that there
00:25:41is enough water. On a hot day, a cow drinks 100 liters and eats
00:25:45less, but
00:25:46better.
00:25:58Austrian cows are driven to farms, but when heat
00:26:01records are daily. pastures are burned out, but buying
00:26:04additional feed is also becoming too expensive, so farmers are already taking cows to
00:26:08slaughterhouses. live on
00:26:11Pervertė Television. Names. is sometimes unavoidable now,
00:26:15is, of course, not easy.
00:26:19Farmers are asking for compensation from the emergency situations fund,
00:26:23300 euros per cow, but this farmer says that not only one-time
00:26:26measures will be needed, but rethinking everything, this is not
00:26:29the last heat wave.
00:26:32He says a bale of hay costs 80 or 90
00:26:35euros, what the hell is going on, I don't need
00:26:38to milk cows for such money, I'd rather sell their
00:26:42feed.
00:26:45Swiss cows are used to the coolness of the mountains, their ideal
00:26:49temperature is between 5 and 15 degrees.
00:26:52Heat stress in cows can start when the outside
00:26:55temperature is only 23 degrees, and when humidity
00:26:58is high and nights are tropical, above 20 degrees, conditions for animals
00:27:02become truly critical.
00:27:05Cheesemakers say that cows not only started giving less milk, its
00:27:09fat content dropped, so to make cheese, more of it is
00:27:11needed. We definitely see that milk production is decreasing by
00:27:1520-30%.
00:27:17That's one problem, another problem is that we already have to use feed that
00:27:21we usually save for winter. We live with our cows, if
00:27:25they are not well, neither are we.
00:27:28In the burned-out Belgian pastures, there is one solution, this farmer.
00:27:32switched to the French Aubrac breed, which originated in a mountain
00:27:36region where grass is scarce due to droughts and dry winters, so
00:27:39the cows are not as demanding, even if they give less
00:27:42milk. This is a cow that is easy to care for, the daily
00:27:46cost is low and it's generally not expensive, maybe
00:27:48there's less profit from reselling, but the cost of keeping and feeding is not
00:27:52too high. These are typical Belgian Blue beef
00:27:56cows, but scientists suggest breeding crosses with Aubrac
00:27:59cattle. This
00:28:02way, the advantages of both breeds can be combined, and a positive
00:28:05result can be achieved very quickly, after all, if we had to
00:28:09adapt Belgian Blue cows to extreme
00:28:11heat, it would take an awful lot of
00:28:14time.
00:28:16As farming becomes more difficult, as it has for centuries, farmers will need
00:28:20scientists' advice more
00:28:21and more.
