, those present in the next room , had an exorbitant pulse and blood pressure, we were so worried about her, so marina held on well, in such conditions this is the hardest load for the body, it is checked, in parallel the girl had to perform various tasks, another exam on stress resistance, support her and others candidates for space flight, then alexander lukashenko came to the star city. as a result, marina vasilevskaya, flight attendant belavia, was chosen as the main candidate, and surgeon anastasia lenko became her backup. thousands of belarusians tried to pass the casting with them, the conditions were serious: cosmic health, no chronic diseases , as if the request was for height and weight, higher education and knowledge of english are required , in the end it doesn’t matter who is the main one, who is the backup, they have been preparing for a year the girls were identical, it was as if they were already in space, but thank you, thank you, happy new year, thank you, and merry christmas, well, that’s just from time to time. thank you very much, it’s very nice,

in case you get the time mixed up, but i set the exact belarusian time, the girls saw it offline before their relatives...

together with russia we are developing promising technologies, working on creating new satellites. the significant role of belarus in space was once the dream of our president, just like his own domestic car, his own nuclear power plant and biotechnological corporation, a technology that is already even larger than space. all decisions made were in order to rise to a more progressive level. and now, for the first time in the history of sovereign belarus, our man will fly into space, the girls’ lives have changed dramatically, in any case, they will have something to remember. first of all, i would like to thank the head of state for such a warm welcome at home, festive and welcoming. i am of course incredibly grateful that we are in this project, we have a global perspective for our country, for our people, and we

we will do everything we can to solve all the assigned tasks. of course, the president supports us very much and helps us in everything. of course, this is very felt, and it gives great strength, because without the direct participation of the head of state this project would not have happened, unexpectedly, it is very pleasant that the president personally invited us, that he is personally interested in the project, how we are doing, and this is very valuable and very nice. charged, of course, in a fighting mood, what we are doing, we are doing crew training, we have joint with all crew members on the ship, where various... emergency situations are simulated and we learn to cope with these emergency situations, also physical training, theoretical issues, and training for target programs that are planned for the flight. in orbit, the belarusian cosmonaut will have a reliable shoulder. the crew commander, our famous fellow countryman, cosmonaut

oleg novitsky. during the training they worked together; according to the plan, they should spend 12 days on the iss. during this time, you need to complete a scientific program, it was developed academy of sciences of belarus and roscosmos with the participation of the russian academy of sciences. we have a lot. a well-coordinated crew and of course oleg viktorovich nowitski, like our belarusian, you can certainly feel it, and he supports, helps in everything, a very sensitive, responsible, strong, intelligent person, and of course, during training he is strict, but fair, this is right, i think since, well , i keep the chain of command, and the work is very serious, because astronautics, of course, does not accept mistakes, and you need to work clearly, we have...

pride in our country, only complete forward, the strength of combat determination is enough, so we are ready, an epoch-making event, a history that you really want to touch. that's why there were so many photos today. the space mission is in a couple of months, in any case, the courage of these beauties is worthy of admiration with our girls even today in space. elon krasutska, andrey novgorodtsev, tv news agency. the golden double, decorated in raobichi, is also worthy of admiration. today the leaders of the overall standings of the commonwealth cup took place. the rating is better.

if you follow biathlon closely, you have probably already noticed that some spectators

are as important participants in the process as the biathlete. this girl, for example, is dinara smolskaya’s personal fan, with a vip badge that the olympic champion gave her. but virtually no television broadcast is complete without these colorful guys. it was with the flag from their hands that anton smolsky finished that day. but until the moment before these. hugs was a great race. prone shooting in biathlon is an acquired skill. more the contact of the body with the surface of the earth allows you to cover the targets in a balanced manner. anton worked almost flawlessly. here the stand has a greater influence on the wind conditions. any blowing, the envelope may not be closed. but as a result, the leadership until the last meters of the distance is the same finish, as a result of which the smolsk author is positive for the second evening in a row. spectator impressions and the hero of the panorama information program, here is a professional analysis from the

most professional athlete, competently, efficiently, and well, we’ve already had time to talk, he’s a little upset about the last shooting, but i think that he could afford it in this race, of course, if we look at tomorrow’s, then of course we need to work cleaner. the new leader of the overall standings of the commonwealth cup, anton smolsky, as well as the russian superstars, anton babikov and alexander povornitsin, traditionally spent about an hour in the stands. with a towel, but worked to the end not only the race, but everything that happened after, the qualities of a great athlete. when i worked on the first line, i thought that, well, yes, everything, everything is going well, and i just need to repeat three times what i did at the first milestone, as we see, there are reserves, there is something to work on, and i will try to collect everything that... i have and how to compensate for the mistakes that were made, but i’m very glad that the work that i

did today was enough to win, so uh, there are reserves, but i’m happy about today, just look at the beauty, especially with perspective of our famous raubich turret, which then in 1974, when the first in history was held here world championship complex. orthodox believers are waiting for one of the main christian holidays, the nativity of christ. it was erected in honor of the epoch-making event of the incarnation in human form of the baby savior. it was from this moment that a new era of chronology began, dividing into two periods before and '. after the birth of christ. in belarus, the orthodox are the largest denomination,

approximately 1/2 of the country's population, the most family-friendly, joyful, cozy holiday, primarily spiritual rather than secular, one of the most important in the christian calendar. it is customary to greet the coming of the baby god into the world in the temple. from the holy spiritual cathedral of minsk , olga medved comes into direct contact with the studio. olya, good evening, what is the atmosphere in front of the main hall? hello, ekaterina, it’s christmas eve on the calendar, the frost is truly epiphany, but despite the worst minus of this week, people still want to spend it. this evening, and then the night in the temple, in common prayer, praising the birth of jesus christ. of course, it is delayed first the nativity scene, a kind of dramatization of the events that happened 2024 ago, is a cave decorated with pine needles, where there is a manger with jesus. the canon of christmas is called

christmas eve, the name comes from the word sochy, a lenten monastery dish that precedes great joy. the nativity of christ is a forty-day fast, it is sochego that is allowed to be eaten today, on the last , strictest day of fasting, which ends with the rise of the first star. the tradition is not accidental; it is connected with the legend about the birth of jesus. the heavenly sanctuary rose above bethlehem at the moment of his birth.

exarch of all belarus. i note that the live broadcast on our tv channel will be accompanied by translation into sign language. christ was born, god became incarnate, and will soon sound in absolutely all orthodox churches of our belarus.

christmas is often associated with a children's holiday because it appeared. on these holidays, it is customary to envelop children with special love, warmth, and care, and this year will be marked by a new tradition, the metropolitan christmas tree will take place for the first time. youth brotherhood in honor of john the evangelist organized a holiday for large families, children, priests and health workers. it will take place tomorrow at the national library of belarus, for the little participants of this new one.

quality has long been a way of life for belarusians, our national trait, and now it is also becoming a symbol of all endeavors. guideline 2024: work hard and efficiently, bring quality control of goods, services, and the overall quality of life of belarusians to a higher level; this is the main task, and not only for the government. belarusians should also have their own personal plan, the task is to surpass yourself as much as possible, everything for this. there is, we have preserved and increased the best that is left to us from the soviet past, in the project, issue number one was noted by the head of state standards, the state quality mark, the best producers of goods and services are also a soviet tradition, in an updated version in 2024 for the first time in sovereign history we are returning to it , not only

technical equipment is important, not only new technologies. the president said globally that quality should be everywhere and in everything, from careful attitude to resources, to a responsible attitude to what you yourself do, the president, the government have created the conditions so that we can do this today. quality of the products that we produce, today we live in ideal conditions in terms of peace, tranquility, comfort of life and so on, so we have , well... it seems like a small task, but we must complete it, that is, achieve quality in all areas, doing your job conscientiously is a task for everyone, and a sign of quality

will show who can handle it better than others. how to earn a high award, what will the new state sign be like? question number one. watch on our website tvf.by and youtube channel television news agency. and the first week of the new year set a good pace for... a year of quality, what is it worth to add us in numbers, on the first day of january 32 little belarusians appeared, this is a significant increase over the same period in 2023, however, this is good news for the first week of the year innovations for the benefit of people were not limited to, will touch everyone. details from yulia alferova. from the very first day, 2024 brought good news to belarusians: the base rate and minimum wage have increased, and if the first directly affects the growth of

wages for public sector 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 how it looks in numbers: the base rate, which affects the salaries of public sector employees, increased by 6.4%. translated into money, this is plus 15 rubles. by last year september. yes there were the last ones changes, 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 government decisions are commonplace, unlike the british who these days are trying to achieve higher salaries for doctors. while the government is thinking, thousands of surgeries have been stopped. the real earnings of junior doctors have fallen by 26% since 2000. this was discussed

even at the stage of forming the annual budget. this is not all for this year, already from february 1 the size of pensions and child benefits will increase. and in the built system of support for motherhood and childhood, not only our closest neighbors can envy us, as long as we maintain maternity leave for 3 years. for example, in the uk they did the math. that 13 months is enough, in canada nine, in italy they limited themselves to five, the us authorities completely considered that maternity leave is a waste of money, it simply isn’t there for women, apparently, that’s why, it turns out, belarus is deciding on a second one and thanking our medicine, positive, i would like to say to everyone, thank you very much for everything, the kolesnikov family lived in latvia for a long time, but still decided, first to move to vitebsk, and then to the second...

afford christmas gifts for the children, i just can’t, i can’t , what they want, they want sneakers, and i wait for sales so that i can give them gifts.

however, in france, germany and the netherlands the new year's picture looks about the same, hundreds of burned cars and looted shops, there were injured and dead. what europeans see on the streets for us it’s more 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 of the european union visited belarus without a visa. most foreigners came from lithuania - 1,920 people, in second place were tourists from latvia, 531 citizens and 126 non-citizens of this country, in third place 440 citizens. poland's visa-free regime has been extended through 2024, demonstrating openness to restoring good-neighbourly dialogue. judging by the numbers, the fences built do not work, in

in the literal sense, too, spent. almost 370 million for the construction site, holding back migrants, either the fence has a hole, or the quality is lame, but in a year almost 17.5 thousand migrants easily overcame the polish barrier, who is to blame, migrants or authorities who are ready to invest in bricks without noticing the need people, but the degree of discontent in europe is only growing. i think it will be worse, i think it will be a very difficult year politically and creating a lot of uncertainty for... the new year will be a record year for the number of presidential and parliamentary campaigns in the world, it is precisely their results that analysts call uncertainty, which can seriously change the balance of global forces, both give birth to new alliances and create even more centers of tension. for the first time , a single voting day is to be held in belarus; 164 initiative groups have already been registered in support of the nomination of candidates for deputies of the house of representatives, and more than 11 thousand for

deputies of local councils. strictly speaking, there are no significant differences between ordinary voters, well, probably, with the exception of maybe maybe more ballots that will be offered to voters in rural areas, in fact, these are elections of the deputy corps and the electoral system is optimized by and large, and we save, well, our time, including the time of voters, the exact picture of the first week of this year is not would be complete without the mood that these days are created by the participants in the kindest events of the year, our children and with all our hearts. if the first one has already crossed the equator, having visited dozens of institutions where children are especially welcome a new year's miracle, so that everything inside will flare up, it is always important to be healthy, not only today, that’s why we exist, the second one is only picking up pace, bringing together older people across the country. what common? both initiatives of the president, which unite.

attention and concern for people. these were the results of the week. see you on the air. and europe is summing up the results of the first week of 2024 in the rhythm of protests. a large-scale demonstration broke out in germany. in the north of the country, about a hundred farmers tried to break onto the ferry where vice-chancellor they blocked the port on tractors, for a reason. a crowd of protesters was waiting for robert habka. the politician had to dock in another port. activists in this way wanted to express their dissatisfaction with the government’s plans to cancel subsidies. according to german media reports, farmer protests have been ongoing in germany for several weeks. and in spain, ground service employees of the country's main air carrier, iberia, are on strike. the four-day action has already caused the cancellation of hundreds of flights.

plans are disrupted. a strike is a consequence of the crisis in a dispute over the employment of company employees, who were asked to look for a place in other air carriers. in other words, a new year has come, but the old problems remain, unresolved, and therefore mass unrest in the european union countries. in germany, for example, new year's eve ended in riots and arrests. the rioters burned cars and robbed stores. keep up with... usa in los angeles, a holiday party ended in bloody shooting, about high-profile events of new year's eve and predictions peruvian shamans, in the author’s section periodic table. new year celebrations spread throughout

the earth. the first to celebrate the holiday were the residents of kiribati, and the last to enter 2024 were the residents of hawaii and the islands of american samoa. in attempts to irritate the symbol of the year. what distinguished the inhabitants of the european garden? what kind of politician was beaten up by the spaniards? in the worst american traditions. the holiday was not complete without shooting. who entered the new year with old problems and what the peruvian shamans predicted. consider everything political elements and put them in their places. this is the periodic table. hello. it wasn't just sparklers that burned the new year's lights in the european style. in berlin, a riotous new year's eve was marked by 390 arrests and 54 injured. during the riots, pyrotechnics were launched directly into the crowd. the tibtsyge crowd

threw stones and firecrackers at public places and police stations. in the netherlands , new year's eve became a night of unacceptable violence. no said this in an interview with the television company. law enforcement representative . to celebrate the holiday, local police detained more than 200 hooligans. the rioters threw fireworks at passing police officers. the french also burned it. in the first hours of january , local vandals burned more than 770 cars. the spaniards started the year with a beating, knocking the wind out of a hanging pinata right in front of the headquarters of the prime minister's party. by the way, doll. the beginning of the year was truly alarming in japan: on january 1, a series

of earthquakes occurred in kawa prefecture, a tsunami threat was declared, waves reached coastal areas just a few minutes after the first underground tremors. the shaking was so strong that i feared for my life due to the warning. in the worst american tradition , a new year's party in downtown los angeles ended in tragedy. two people died on the spot, eight wounded were taken to the hospital. by the way, issues of armed violence are becoming increasingly acute in the united states. by 2024, the states have come up with bloody statistics. last year it was recorded in the country. fewer than 650 mass shootings. an absolute historical record has been set for the influx of illegal migrants. according to fox news, the number of people who crossed border between mexico and the united states in december exceeded 302,000 people. internal

problems are growing, but they prefer to ignore them, giving way to more important news feeds. wondering what holiday dishes you've been enjoying in the last few days? well, i ate everything in front of me. elon musk also made an ominous prediction for 2024. the american billionaire and founder of spacex noted that this year will be even crazier. the forecast for 2024 was compiled by a

political publication. futurists, politicians and historians have predicted what the us is expecting. fair elections, the world is facing environmental problems, among other things, and messages from space, but in order, the head of the political risk consulting campaign eurasia group believes that the us presidential elections may not be held fairly and freely. environmentalists warn global warming will lead to widespread destruction, predicting fires, floods, storms, droughts and extreme heat. and the founding director of the black studies initiative. holes at harvard university, in turn, are waiting for the appearance contact from space. by the way, another scandal occurred in the american education system due to political pressure; the head of harvard left his post. why the american dream is cracking and how

people can be made an outcast for their opinions, who else has been thrown out onto the street, as well as the bribery system in elite universities, who spits on general rules, corruption, repression and other scandals, in an understandable way.
