130 and so we will increase cooperation, is it more likely that belarus supplies stone, cardboard, now we are working on the issue of supplying the kondoborzh pulp and paper mill after all, this is our pilot project of pinches, because they do not have enough tsarkhangelsk region trade turnover is still modest, just over 40 million dollars, but sanctions not only do they stimulate domestic production and develop regional connections, but a business mission is planned to belarus in 2024. all from the arkhangelsk region, participants will discuss the development of forests, the opening of joint production of forestry equipment, supply of belarusian buses and even construction of cable cars. your belarusian entrepreneurs came to me, who are engaged in the construction of transportation systems based on jet technology, these are not cable cars, on an iron rail, and for us this could be a solution to ensure communication between the island territories and the city of arkhangelsk, cooperation is growing. belarus supplies

household chemicals, light industrial goods and food products; cooperative connections in the production of x-ray equipment, but as an agricultural region of russia, kabardino-balkaria is primarily interested in belarusian experience in agriculture . today belarus is a country that produces very high-quality agricultural machinery, and here we literally want to visit a joint meeting in the first quarter of 24. implement projects, starting with the supply of agricultural machinery, and then assembly cooperation; in addition to industry and mechanical engineering, agriculture is one of the most pleasant topics for tourism development. the belarusian direction is one of the most popular among russians today. a month before the new year , all tickets for trains and high-speed trains were purchased. and today one of the important issues is the opening of new flights , the launch of additional high-speed trains. belarus is a leader among countries. in the ranking of

achievement of sustainable development goals. such data is contained in the analytical report on the implementation of priorities until 2035. what are the key indicators? despite the change in the geo-economic situation in belarus in last year we managed to achieve a growth rate of 103.8%. this figure per capita has increased by almost $5 over 3 years. in the twentieth year there were 20 thousand, now , according to preliminary estimates, it will exceed 25. this means that the target for reducing the level of poverty in the population to 4% in 2035 has already been achieved. in general, belarus is included in the group of countries with a high level of human development. we're at sixty. this line, there are a total of

191 states in the rating list. belarusian oil workers discovered a new flood black gold, where can we expect oil replenishment? the promising area is located in the gartsevskoye field, which covers the khoiniki and rechsky districts. to localize an older deposit, discovered here back in 22, oil workers carried out comprehensive seismic surveys and drilled a new well for additional exploration. research has confirmed the high potential of a previously discovered deposit of rocks per year; in the next 2 years, we plan to drill ten more exploratory wells at this deposit in order to increase resource base to increase annual oil production volumes. belarusian specialists are successfully discovering new reserves of valuable resources; they have plenty of knowledge and competencies in their arsenal.

the most modern technologies, comprehensive government support. as a result , territories that were previously considered unpromising received new life. jobs are being created and infrastructure is being developed. during the year, the domestic company produced a record volume of natural resources for 28 years, more than 1,870 thousand tons of oil. results of the business year, entrepreneurs in belarus announced it's getting bigger, what the numbers say. there are 350 thousand small entities in our country. medium-sized businesses are also the result of state support for the private sector of the economy. the development bank makes a significant contribution; over the year, 950 projects were financed in the amount of over 300 million rubles. the majority are in industry and agriculture. the results impress even us in many respects, such as the increase in revenue, the increase in the number of employees involved in this activity, ranging from 10, 15, to 20, even up to 40%. we are glad that

public money brings such benefits. the ministry has planned a number of tasks with the bank, there are four of them for the next year, one of the main ones is the beginning. work to create a system integrator that allows smes to receive informational financial support in one place, at one entry point, this is a digital product. on the eve of the holidays , the development bank summed up the results of supporting small medium-sized businesses and also noted the most active partners. thank you, the review was prepared by olesya vysotskaya. more news from the economic sphere, not only on our website tv channel www.belarus24.by. belarusian pediatric cardiac surgeons are known for their unique operations not only in our country, but also far beyond its borders. it’s hard to imagine that just a couple of decades ago they themselves learned from foreign colleagues.

let’s ask the director of the republican scientific and practical center for pediatric surgery, konstantin drazdovsky, about how domestic pediatric surgery is developing today and what unique operations belarusian doctors perform. hello, konstantin. if we sum up the results of last year at the republican scientific and practical center, how many operations done? a total of five were made. 1,650 operations, and if you look at the dynamics, is this a lot or a little, because the figure itself will not say much, you know, the figure - paradoxically, remains approximately the same, despite the fact that the birth rate changes from year to year, but the number of sick children who need help remains approximately the same, yeah, what operations are most often performed at the center, well, we help all children with pediatric surgical pathologies, we... operate on all congenital malformations and heart, and chest, and intestines, abdominal cavity. we provide complete emergency assistance to children in the city of minsk with abdominal diseases, appendicitis, hernias, and all emergency surgical pathologies.

over the past year, about 47,000 children came to us, that’s about 130 children a day, we accept them, not all of them, of course, stay with us. we often exclude surgical pathology, send to other hospitals or simply go home for treatment, but about 7,500 of them are treated with us, and of these 7,500, 5,650 were operated on, so what are the most difficult operations , the most difficult is, of course, surgery on newborns, both on the heart, on the chest, and in the abdominal cavity, and most often on premature babies, newborns, in our country we have a very highly developed system, so to speak, an extracorporeal program fertilization, and the result of this is a fairly large number of newborns with low body weight, and of course, like in the normal population, they get sick, they are born with defects, naturally we must treat them, if years 10-15 ago we started treating children

weighing somewhere around 3, 3.5 kg, and newborns, but now very often we treat detox 200 kilograms, 500 kilograms. 900 g. what other operations can be called unique? unique are those operations that are high-tech, we have 25% of all operations in the center, that is, the fourth operation? yes, well, we are the main center, of course, the most complex operations from all over belarus flock to us, all heart surgeries are performed only by us, we are one center that helps children with heart surgery, if talking about the complexity of the operation, then of course the operation on the heart is very complex, it is an operation with highly ... using very serious equipment, but in recent years, and the last is 10 years, we have been doing approximately the same number of heart operations per year, this is where -that is 1,100 operations per year, but if in 2012 we performed 700 open operations and about

300-400 endovascular, so-called non-invasive, now the situation is absolutely diametrically opposite, we perform 700.

kazakhstan, which was performed the most difficult operation, he is in intensive care. we also work with kyrgyzstan in this way, well, in the direction and there to us, that is , patients come to us, our teams go to kyrgyzstan. well, in recent years we have had a very serious program with uzbekistan, you probably heard that there was a belarusian-uzbek forum at the end of last year, i participated in it before that.

knowing ourselves, we ourselves 15-20 years ago learned from our more experienced colleagues, who came to us at our base and operated on our children, because you can go somewhere train, see the system, see how they operate, and then come to your place and don’t understand how to apply all this here, but when in 1996 a team came to us for the first time and taught us how to operate on the heart. when they come to us at our base with our patients in our conditions and show us how to operate, it

is expensive, something like this is happening now with uzbekistan, we understand that some kind of material base there is insufficient, but we come to show that it is possible treat severe children in these conditions, including periodically reading the news and hearing that unique operations are being carried out with specialists from europe, does this mean? that , despite all the political turbulence, medicine is outside of politics, well, medicine should always be outside of politics, but i would like it to be like sports and many other things, but this is unfortunately stupid, because we are all people anyway, we are in society, and it is impossible to be absolutely apolitical anywhere, neither here, nor in europe, nor in other countries, but the medical community, naturally, is friendly enough, you can’t say that you ’ve reached some heights. you are already operating at a very high level, you have nothing to learn, this is a lie in any field of medicine

, always, every year, every month new technologies appear, new operations, just 10 years ago one cardiac surgeon from brazil, such as hasapedra de silva, came up with a new type of surgery for children with epstein's anomaly, this is a severe, rare heart defect, which unfortunately, well, often leads to death, and it has made a revolution, it seems, yes, modern... in recent years, with colleagues from europe, with our good friend, professor kalangos, we have been performing these operations. thank you very much. konstantin drazdovsky, director of the republican scientific and practical center for pediatric surgery, answered the program’s questions. we'll be back at the studio in a few minutes. this is the events program for

belarus 24. we continue. clinical trials of the domestic vaccine against covid-19 have been completed in belarus. when the drug reaches medical institutions, we’ll ask our columnist vladislav bondar. provide the population is planned to be treated with the drug by september this year. about 2 million doses will be created. first of all, people from risk groups and doctors are to be vaccinated. the project was implemented by the ministry of health. in accordance with the instructions of the president and was developed over 2 and a half years, eight institutions took part. the third phase of clinical testing, it was successful, our vaccine, in any case, i will not get ahead of ourselves, but it is no less effective than the vaccines that were used in our republic and are used outside the republic of belarus. this proven not only scientifically, but also experimentally. gomel state medical university, he recruited volunteers. and this work has actually been carried out since the fall of this year,

they are not going to stop there, in the future , taking into account technologies, they will consider options for creating belarusian drugs against other infections in accordance with the national vaccination calendar for epidemiological indications. the academy of sciences of belarus is actively working on human dna research, which scientists have already arrived at. one one of the areas where genomic technologies are successfully used is medicine. genetics helps solve a number of problems from making a diagnosis to creating drugs . scientists of the academy of sciences pay special attention to cancer of the cardiovascular system. and how to choose the right treatment. to combat them in practical medicine, this allows you to select the dose and the required active substance with mathematical precision, while avoiding side effects. well, the entire metabolism of drugs we just you and i understand perfectly well that it goes in our liver and kidneys, so if there are some genetic characteristics that cause disruption in the liver enzyme system, then it is clear that the patient needs to start with

minimal doses, yes, that is, select him very carefully, now there are even a number of operations. cardiology is not performed without genetic testing. genomic research is used not only in medicine, but also in forensic science. for the introduction of innovative dna technologies , teams of scientists from the national academy of sciences of belarus and russian colleagues worked together and were awarded the union state prize. what is the essence of the method? if the biological materials of the criminal collected at the crime scene are not in the database, it is very difficult to identify him. well, using dna, you can determine your probable age with an error of 3 to 5 years.

over 100 variations of various genes and more than thirty diseases. currently they work in the sports field, studying the effect of various substances on the body of athletes. pinsk will host the regional winter festival beristeyskie sleigh. what kind of tradition is this? the beristey sleigh festival was held for the first time in brest in 2022. the event aroused great interest among residents and guests of the regional center. they decided to make it traditional and hold it in different parts of the region. baranovich took over the baton last january. now ancient pinsk is preparing to surprise guests of a large-scale winter festival. the festival will take place on january 20. organizers expect at least 200,000 people to attend. one of the highlights of the holiday will be the creation of a book of records for berestey sleighs. we will have on our third festival, the creation of a book of records for berestian sleighs. more than 200 pairs of santa clauses will be created.

accordingly, it will be a whole procession, it will be so beautiful. a spectacular , colorful procession along the main street, very interesting, it will be a walrus swim , we plan that the length of the shopping rows will be about 500 m, about a thousand seats will be organized, the program includes competitions, promotions, tastings, perhaps the most spectacular event there will be a parade of enterprises, participants, there will be about thirty, will present themselves as colorfully and effectively as possible with... and musical accompaniment. creative groups of performers from pinsk and bresse regions are responsible for cultural participation. in total there are more than 1,200 artists. among the guests of the festival, the variety theater from pinze will conclude the festival with the beristi sleigh 2024 fireworks and concert. thank you, the review was prepared by vladislav bondar.

traditionally, winter is a time of holidays and warm meetings. in addition to new year and christmas, it is worth remembering the tradition of celebration. originally it was a pagan holiday, dedicated to the beginning of the new year, but with the adoption of christianity it began to be closely intertwined with christmas, how our ancestors celebrated the holiday, what kind of modern carols they are, let’s ask dmitry skvarchevsky, candidate of historical sciences, hello, dmitry, hello, i want to ask you today about carol traditions, a little let’s dive into history, what kind of holiday is this and how has it survived to this day? carols are, perhaps, one of the most... interesting, most meaningful holidays in our tradition. generally this is not even one holiday, these are several holidays that are combined into a single cycle, it used to be celebrated in conjunction with the day of winter, usually stretched over 12 days, evenings, so they were called holy evenings, or crooked evenings, and as you correctly noted , it combines both old mythological traditions and

newer christian elements, but they do not contradict each other, they are organically intertwined in the folk...

birth of our world, yes, that is, the day of its appearance, renewal , therefore in carols in songs you can often find these motifs of creation, renewal, besides this , of course, there is a very large layer of songs, this is what the carolers themselves sang, the so -called great songs, which were dedicated to the owner, his wife, his children, his family, where the obligatory elements were wishes for good, prosperity, health, this is what has always worried people at all times and what is still relevant today, so in this regard, of course, carols... the songs do not lose their meaning, do not lose their relevance, and this, in my opinion, is one of the reasons why kolyady is such an archaic holiday, but it is kolyady that has also survived very well to this day, because they

tell us about the main thing, what is interesting to everyone, what is we also need something that is relevant to everyone, well, this is the form in which carols have survived to this day, they have changed a lot, here the question is of course ambiguous, on the one hand, yes, carols, like any holiday, any tradition, are not some kind of frozen museum phenomenon , exhibit, carol, like... the holiday remains the same as it was, that is this is again a period of renewal of the world, when the realities of time, but nevertheless, in its essence , let’s say this, we are programming our next year so that everything will be fine, so that everything will be prosperous, yes, to get a good share, these are essentially sorcerers, who are they, these are guests from a distant land, from right under paradise , sent from god, here they are... bringing a share to people, therefore the task of a person is to accept the magicians, give them gifts, in return to receive a happy share for the next year, that is, this is the essence , it doesn't change, they change

different external forms, but nevertheless, the essential points remain unchanged, but of course, yes, many traditions that we already know from ethnographic records, we unfortunately cannot see today, but on the other hand, we also know a number of regions where you can still see rituals, traditions, carols. osova and the neighboring village of rok soligorsk district, an original tradition, unique, with its own masks, the most interesting thing is the grandfather’s mask, made of birch bark, like a

birch bark helmet, there is no such mask anymore nowhere, plus in general there is a very wide range of heroes, this is a horse, this is a busel, and of course a goat, but the goat there is also unusual, usually it is a person in disguise, and there in a casing with a mask, then there is not, there is not alive , there is a specially made stuffed animal that combines elements of a once-living goat, for example, real horns, and just like that, with just such a goat, and the magicians go from house to house, that is, it’s very interesting, but it’s certainly not the only, not the only place where you can see such old ones here archaic carol traditions, again interesting in the village of noviny, berezensky district, where such a holiday is celebrated - pulling carols on the dubo, on january 21, this is also interesting, there is a carol cycle everywhere. let us take the orthodox regions there according to the julian calendar, then everywhere the carols end on january 18-19, then there it continues a little until the twenty-first, and on the twenty-first there are

special such farewells, here is a drawn carol on the oak, you can also see it today quite an interesting ritual when a carol is embodied by a wheat snob, decorated, resembling a person, they take him outside the village, lift him up an oak tree, burn the old dream, this is again a symbol of renewal.

the drets from the village of ossova and rok, soligorsk district, are also already on this list, zhany botyareshki, zhany botyareshki in this list, that is, we see that the brightest, most original, authentic, but already there, but there are also other traditions that i i didn’t name it, there is an interesting children’s rite called kura, a carol in the klichev region, it is also included in this list, that is, this is the specificity of children’s caroling, which is also what happens in other regions, let’s say, it hasn’t survived , the belarusian tradition of straw weaving was included in the unesco list, and for carols our obligatory element was a straw spider, such a voluminous geometric decoration, and spiders are the tradition of weaving spiders from straw, this is part of this more general tradition of straw weaving, it is also included in the list, it turns out now also unesco, in the belarusian one too, separately, by the way, the tradition of saltwater spiders of the bykhovsky district, this very region is also included in the list of local cultural heritage, in in the berezovsky district there is also such an interesting tradition of making such

a bird out of wood chips, a talisman that... was also hung in the house for carols as symbols of happiness and goodness. thank you very much. dmitry skvarchevsky, candidate of historical sciences, answered the program’s questions. results and analysis of the main events of this week in the atn information and analytical program. main broadcast. all projects of our tv channel are available on the website www.belarus24.bi, as well as on social networks. i say goodbye to you. all the best.

hello, information and analytical current microphone project on air on the belarusian radio, belarus24 tv channel, with you the presenter andrei sych, as well as our guest, political scientist yuri voskresensky. hello, i can’t wait to discuss a number of important news, yuri and i just got an aesthetic experience even before the broadcast. pleasure from the news that comes from brotherly poland, donald tusk remains one of the main non-makers at the moment in our region, setting a certain pace in cooperation with the former ruling power on the territory of the polish state, regarding two former officials were opened an investigation, a criminal case, as far as i understand, they decided to hide in the residence of their

patron, the current president. please comment on what is happening, what this is connected with and in general, how interesting this situation is to us from a political point of view, well, the situation is really very funny, two former high-ranking leaders of the ministry of internal affairs fled, tried to escape justice by hiding in the presidential residence, well, this , this escape did not

help them, the employees calmly entered there... which was issued on january 8, that is, the sins of the police and arrested them on a court order, there are behind these subjects, they were deprived of parliamentary mandates, a very important point, after tusk, tusk’s coalition won, here two are very important for us moment, well, first of all, we...
