and he appreciates it, and i’m proud, well, so brightly, as you understand, we started our second competition day with raboch, ahead of us and firstly, today there is still a women's pursuit race, we wish our beauties should level out these places in the tournament in their report card, which may have gone wrong yesterday, so good luck to all belarusian athlete today, and be sure to turn on the belarusian 5 tv channel very soon at 2 o’clock when the race starts, it will be cool, colleagues, the floor is yours, congratulations winners and cheer for our girls. thank you, andrey, we are waiting for new information from you in the next issues. in spain , employees of the ground service of the country's main air carrier, the iberi company, are visiting, the four-day event caused the cancellation about half a thousand flights. the plans of more than 4,500 passengers were disrupted. the strike was the result of a crisis in a dispute over the employment of company employees. they were asked to look for space from other carriers after ibery lost its service concession as a result of an unsuccessful tender. rush to

the ferry with the vice-chancellor for negotiations. khabak was returning from vacation, farmers blocked the port with tractors, a crowd of protesters was waiting for the minister at the pier, some of them decided to storm the ship, the police used pepper gas, khabyk had to dock in another port. ukrainian refugees received an unpleasant christmas present from the scottish government; they will no longer be paid for their housing. last year, scottish cities received £10 million. to cover living expenses for guests from ukraine, but funding will be stopped due to budget problems. local authorities, in turn , said that if they help ukrainians with housing on their own, they will have to refuse a number of municipal services for their residents. latvia topped

anti-rating on violence in schools in the organization for economic cooperation and development, which includes 38 countries. a study by the international student assessment program found that 29. latvian schoolchildren are exposed to some form of violence at least once a month. 28% had witnessed vandalism at their school, and 23% had witnessed a fight in which someone was injured. one in five students saw one student threaten another with physical harm, and 12% of students brought a firearm or knife. in belarus, the first week of the new year set a good pace for the whole year of quality, what is it worth? 32 babies were born on the first day of january, this is a significant increase compared to the same period in 2023. however, the good news on the first day of the year did not stop there; innovations in favor of people will affect everyone. yulia alferova will tell you how we lived this week. 2024

brought belarusians from the first day. good news: the base rate and minimum wage have increased, and if the former will directly affect the growth of wages state employees, the second sets the lower limit of wages for absolutely all employers. i'm yulia alferova, i'll sum up the results of the first week of the year. this is what it looks like in numbers. the base rate, which affects the salaries of public sector employees, increased by 6.4%. translated into money, this is +15 rubles. to last year september, when the last changes took place. so, the base rate stopped at... 250 rubles. the increase in the minimum wage is more noticeable plus 13% amount of 626 rubles. this is the minimum wage figure for belarus. however, for us such decisions of the state are a matter of familiar, in contrast to the same british who these days are trying to achieve higher salaries for doctors. while the government

is thinking, thousands of surgeries have been stopped. real earnings for junior doctors have fallen by 26% since 2008, while workloads have only increased. and doctors in belarus were sorted out even in the post-covid period, this year there is more attention to teachers, this was discussed even at the stage of forming the annual budget. this is not all for this year; from february 1 , the amount of pensions and child benefits will increase. and in the built system of support for motherhood and our childhood may be the envy of not only our closest neighbors, as long as we maintain maternity leave for 3 years. for example, in the uk they thought that 13 months would be enough, in canada nine months, in italy they limited themselves to five. the us authorities have completely considered that maternity leave is a waste of money; it is simply not there for women. apparently, this is why, it turns out, belarus is deciding on the second one and thanking our medicine. i would like to say

thank you all very much for everything. the kolesnikov family lived in latvia for a long time, but still i decided, first to move to vitebsk, and then to have a second child. theodore was born in the first minute of 2024, so so much... 2035. the situation in the european union looks absolutely contrasting; the financial situation of the finns mirrors the trust in the authorities. almost 3,500 companies have filed for bankruptcy, the highest number in the last 25 years. due to high inflation, you have to save even on basic necessities.

france is not far from this situation; for the residents of this country, the new year is more of a burden than a joy. i can't afford christmas gifts for the kids, i just can't. i can't, what do they want, they want sneakers, and i'm waiting for sales so i can give them gifts later. however, in france, germany and the netherlands the new year's picture looks about the same, hundreds. burned cars and looted shops, there were injured and dead. what europeans see on the streets, for us, is rather like newsreel footage. and on holidays we have no incidents, even taking into account the large number of guests. over the holiday weekend about 3.00 citizens visited belarus without a visa. european union. most foreigners came from lithuania - 1,920 people. in second

place are tourists from latvia, 531 citizens and 126 non-citizens of this country. and on the third there are 440 polish citizens. the visa waiver was extended through 2024, demonstrating openness to restoring good-neighborly dialogue. judging by the numbers, the fences built do not work. and in the literal sense too. we spent almost 370 million on construction to deter migrants. either the fence has a hole, or the quality is poor, but in a year almost 17,500 migrants easily crossed the polish barrier. who is guilty? migrants or authorities who are ready to invest in bricks without noticing the needs of people, but the degree of discontent in europe is only growing. i think it will get worse, i think it will be a very difficult year politically and creating a lot of uncertainty for corporations. the new year will be a record year for the number of presidential elections.

institutions where children are especially looking forward to a new year's miracle, so that

everything inside will just flare up, it is always important to give a gift, not only today, this is why we exist, the second is only gaining momentum, bringing together older people across the country. what is common is both initiatives of the president, who unites attention and concern for people. these were the results of the week, see you on the air. severe frosts are not a reason for rash trips out onto the ice; fishermen are warned about this by rescuers. now the ice cover is just beginning to gain strength after the thaw. there is no safe thickness of 7 cm in reservoirs yet. divers regularly go on raids asking amateurs fishing to leave the water area and go ashore, because anyone is careless. stepping on thin ice can lead to tragedy. if you witness

an accident, the first thing we do is call, notify the rescue service and try to pinpoint the location as accurately as possible, which is sometimes not so easy. it is also worth remembering that it is still impossible to come close to a person who is in the water, that is, with the same improvised means of rescue in the form of tied clothes, a scarf, we provide assistance to the victim, that is, to him. we're getting close exclusively polish. before you go fishing, you should first call the nearest rescue station; osvod staff will tell you the thickness of the ice and give the necessary safety recommendations. the triumph of mercy, the love of hope, the orthodox believers of the world in anticipation of the nativity of christ. this is the second most important holiday among the lord's double tenths, the most important after easter, dedicated to the events of the earthly life of jesus and the virgin mary. in belarus there are orthodox christians. numerous denominations, approximately 1/2 population of the country, the canon of christmas is called christmas eve. the name comes from the word

sochego, a monastic dish of boiled wheat grains with honey, dried fruits and nuts. before the appearance of the first star there is a strict fast, and in the evening it is customary for the whole family to gather at the festive table. festive services in churches will be held throughout the country today; the beltv and radio company will show the holy spiritual cathedral in minsk. look after the panorama at belarus-1 and belarus2. dreams come true, an important gift, the police brought along the line kii, they started helping the girl a year ago, then, as part of the campaign, our children, minister of internal affairs ivan kubrakov , helped the child’s parents acquire a modern wheelchair for their daughter. later it turned out that the line needed a special bed. due to the high cost , her parents postponed the purchase. the police, led by

the head of the department, again came to the rescue. now the girl has the necessary furniture. we are very happy, we are very grateful. grateful for such a gift, wonderful, simply excellent, we we are very glad that we have such friends in our lives, i would like to say a huge thank you to ivan vladimirovich for supporting us so much, because such support, such support is worth a lot, because strength appears, you understand that you are not alone, that someone cares with an open soul, and for the girl and for her parents such a gift was a pleasant surprise and a very useful thing. the broadcast will continue with sports news, let me remind you that to follow the developments in the country and the world, you can on atn social networks, as well as in our mobile application qr code on the screen. see you at 15 o'clock. dynamo. successfully played

the first match of the new year, the day before the bobruisk team hosted dynamo moscow at home as part of the mhl regular championship. the teams were only able to identify the strongest team in the bulitov series, where andrei mikhalev’s team turned out to be more accurate. the final numbers on the scoreboard are 3:2 in favor of the hosts. ilya lakhnov scored a double for the shinnikov team. it was a good match, it was probably the best match this year. after winning victoria bobruisk residents rose to third place in the silver division of the western conference with 44 points to the team’s assets.

since childhood, i decided to become a doctor, i played with dolls, i always had a hospital, my parents, well, they dreamed that they... had someone in the family with a higher medical education, but they never voiced it, i guess i’ve completely decided i'm in ninth grade, which is what i want to be.
