to the fact that the flow of trucks to the european union across the belarusian border has decreased by almost a quarter. eu countries have closed half of the road checkpoints, seven out of 14. this has caused a serious change in logistics: to redirect flows, reconstruct and retrofit existing checkpoints, and also transfer some customs functions to border control. this task allowed us to work more efficiently at the border. there has been a reorientation of cargo flows, that is , because

imported goods are leaving, exports are leaving three times more than through our section of the belarusian border, although before the sanctions it was the other way around. changes to the healthcare law have come into force in belarus, and control over the import of medical products and equipment has been strengthened. precise definitions of low-quality, counterfeit and falsified goods are given, which will be prohibited from being used in medical institutions; control over the quality of products will be carried out by state pharmaceutical supervision. another new one. is associated with the accreditation of medical institutions, now it has been transformed into a two-tier system, this means that all hospitals , clinics, medical centers, both private and public, without exception, are required to undergo basic accreditation to meet the minimum requirements for the type of care they provide, the second level is national, obtaining this type of accreditation is optional in the attention and training of specialists in clinical residency, four specialties were added, now there are a total of 67, part-time. training will remain

exclusively for therapeutic specialists. traveling around belarus and discover new sights. i will visit a church that is almost nine centuries old. however, researchers of ancient russian architecture connect ian’s personality with the heyday of the polotsk school of zotchestvo of the 12th century, we are getting acquainted with the original belarusian traditions, right now i’m heading to the weaving museum to learn more about this art. these longitudinal warp threads were threaded by two or three of the most experienced women, because it was important to thread each thread evenly, so that later our product would also turn out beautiful and not a single thread got tangled during the weaving process. the most important thing is that we experience vivid emotions. a! kissing, yes, kissing

of the third season of the factor byy show, daniil savenya. hello, daniil, good afternoon. well, first of all, we congratulate you on your triumph, a very beautiful triumph on the show, and... we hasten to inform our viewers that this was the highest rated project in the entire history of factor b, 3 million tv viewers watched it, 140 millions of people clicked on youtube to see you, too, so i think dani that you also have a share in these crazy ratings, you agree, well, there’s probably a certain share, yes, of course, what would you say about about these numbers? how did you get such attention from viewers to the project? you know, yes, especially in the first hours, after the broadcast , a lot of people wrote to me, a lot of people tagged me on instagram, and besides this, also offline, as they say, everyone

took pictures, asked questions, literally just surrounded me with care, warmth, attention, even...

better yes, yes, yes, when, at what moment did you believe in yourself, fell in love with him in the show, remember when this happened? yes, i remember this moment very clearly, it was the moment of the second number, paradise lost, after the performance, i realized that i could, i had never sung rock, uh, in the second broadcast, it was a real debut - in my roko...

that is, i have, let’s say, orientation, it’s turned off, i work exclusively in automatic mode, it was cool, that’s it then, that is, you were already flying on... you can say, well, you weren’t flying , there was still more to fly, it was the fourth broadcast, but so yes, in general, yes, let’s listen to the song with which everything began for you on this show , without fading away the bleating afterbirth, your pilgrimage path to the earth, pray. for us , please go to the lords and for the white russia, papras, spoil me,

asvetnitsa, for a long time, forgive the earth.

did not give me the opportunity to give up if there were moments when i wanted to do this, and he told a lot of such truths that seem to lie on the surface, but you need to pay attention to them, turn your gaze, so he actually helped to realize this, for example, what truths, please share with us, for example, that ambition and vanity - not the same thing, so they often ask me, does your success make you dizzy? i can say that yes, my

self-esteem has increased somewhat, my voice has even changed somewhat, to be honest, but at the same time i very clearly understand where i am, thanks to whom everything it happened that i, what i and my comrades went through and so on, that is... to become a star, i have no right, but some disputes still arose with sergei vasilyevich, for sure, now there will be a small exclusive dash insight, i was one of the most capricious artists, wow, we would never have thought, but, but not from the point of view of what, i don’t know, the costume there is uncomfortable for me, everyone there is generally bad, no, that didn’t happen , but we... quite often, well, let’s say, we didn’t argue, i wouldn’t call it

an argument, we discussed points quite often related to recording backing vocals, how something should look there, and so on, that is, i tried to be in the process as much as possible, to participate as much as possible, and from the outside it might seem that i don’t trust, i don’t trust the mentor, i don’t trust.. .and vasilyevich answered this question for us, but can you say that you became a father at this

time, dani, no, you can’t say that, you can’t say that, he has a father, here he is, here he is, you can ask what emotions he experiences , i became his senior comrade for a while, i’m also very responsible, well, you see, the same thing most of all, the older comrade answers, and this is very responsible, he wrote you an amazing song, which you already... mentioned, you need it, don’t you agree? yes, of course, yeah, you can listen to the fragment and then discuss, do you want me to triple your patience, do you want me to build females in the sky?

now our viewers have seen seryoga’s face at this moment, he clearly likes what is happening, this is the first solo track in your career, in my career this is the second solo track, the first was released on digital platforms a year ago, but it did not find success, of course, well this such mine, was it like a requiem for that... this track, the second one, i wouldn’t even call it a track, you know, this is such a passing story, but i would say that this is a hymn addressed to the one thanks to whom everything is here this happened, the whole victory, this whole result became possible, who

was with me throughout the entire time, unconditionally believed in victory, because...

to turn this whole planet over twice, but is this still a virtual romance, or did you have meetings? no, we had meetings that were quite cool, quite emotional, in fact one of them helped i need to reach the super final, well , great, listen, so we’re talking about love, well, yes, you said that you don’t have everything in your studies, you’re now in your last year, but college and... in the department of pop singing art, then there is a choice of profession here already in the name, but you constantly walk around, i read your social networks, well, i kind of hear what you are talking about when you are not in an interview, and you always somehow don’t connect your life with the stage, why in order to connect your life as much as possible to connect with the stage to do

profession, to make artists their profession.

is looking for manicure courses in order to start her own business, at the age of 15, in my opinion, this is a huge achievement, and in order to support her, of course, i need some resources, so now we are doing everything to to find a job to actually provide for the family, because the amount of invested resources from mom, dad and sister too, this... the roles bring some kind of fees, first of all, well, this is negotiated, of course, if these are some kind of events, which suggest such fees, it’s great, in general

i work like this most of my life, just like that, just singing, just improving, that is , you yourself don’t view singing as a profession that can bring in serious income, well, it’s not really serious and stable, unfortunately no. another question is how do you cope with these interviews, while you like what is happening, i mean these invitations to the radio, as you say to television, or do you want to go back into your shell again and close yourself off from this? but no, let’s just say there is a line at which at some point i will really want to return to this shell, but this line has not been reached, it is unlikely that it will be achieved in the near future, because - i have always, since childhood, i have always loved to talk. i spoke constantly, unfortunately, i have such a bad trait of interrupting people, now i can say what i want to say, and this is

important, moreover, in addition to the fact that i can say what i want to say, i can talk about those i want to talk about, and this is also important, but it seems to me that you know what profession is worth considering, work with your voice, record podcasts , audio books, for example,

and it seems to me that you, too, would cope with this with a bang, well, at the end of this part , we’ll ask you, if they told you now, we’ll repeat the factor by 3-4 months you’re in a tight reality , you agreed, you have the strength, perhaps, yes? well, fatigue is a relative concept , you see, you need to be able to rest well and with quality, if you know how to rest well and with quality, you will never get tired, and what is quality rest in your understanding, and good quality rest in in my understanding, this is listening to good music, communicating with my wonderful friends, watching some energizing films and of course... the most important thing is communicating with a loved one, in general, nothing else is needed, my most important plans now , there are actually two of them, this

is to finally pick up a car, master it and ride it - this is one of the types of recreation, as i understand you, yes, and secondly, to actually go to st. petersburg in the same car the plan that... was conceived back on air, probably the fifth, plan a, i would call it that, my favorite activity is working with sound, yes, that is, i have a computer, i have equipment and i periodically improve my skills, and this also energizes me very much, let’s take a break for a little while , i remind you that we have a telegram channel, say don’t be silent , subscribe, ask questions and suggest guests, we are in touch,

the tell not be silent program is on air again, and today our guest is the winner of the factorby show of the third season, daniil savenya. daniil, you formulated your mission on the show, to prove to others that people with special needs have unlimited possibilities, and... that the impossible is possible, we , in turn, are grateful to you for telling us how the life of the blind is organized in general, you even have a corresponding one on instagram section, for example, i’m curious to know how you manage your social networks yourself, or does someone help? yes, i mostly manage social networks myself, such as vkontakte, telegram, things that are directly related to the text, or... with materials, which can be uploaded to the platform, for some time now my good, kind comrade lyosha vasilevsky has been helping me manage instagram

, in my opinion he does it efficiently, and most importantly quickly, that’s why, but of course i reserve the full right to choose, and what i actually say, how i do it, and moreover, i am scrupulous about how to shoot this video and how well it can be heard. it's time for us to meet alexey, how did you find out about danika and why are you with him now? the acquaintance began a lot years ago, yeah, as you know, danik studied in molodechno, he studied in the studio at once, at the same time i studied in the studio too, we talked a little, we were in contact, but not much, just this year i entered the college of arts and quite by chance i saw danik and decided to go to him. it was all in

the dining room, where else can you meet in college, the best place, in a restaurant or your, so to speak, friendship was renewed, yes, of course, and i was also interested to know, here are the editors of the factorby show program they said that danik wrote that he wanted this and that, but i think, what did danik write, is this a voice message or whatever you don’t, no, this is, well, voice messages also take place, but mostly.. .. i try to write in text, yeah, there are specifics, there are certain specifics of how you can write on the phone, there is a braille font, i think that many viewers are familiar with this, and there are keyboards that programmatically implement the ability to use a braille font to type in braille text, gadgets for you by water and you can easily navigate in minsk, yes

thanks to some mobile phone.

i learned to understand, well, i even learned a little to understand conversation in english, there was an incident in my life, just how many months ago, two months ago, i was going to college and, judging by the conversation, two indians were walking, and i say that how to write in the college of arts, and the guys understood and took me to college, uh, from the life of the blind or in general? people with special needs always need to be clearly understood, to see the line, where it is between care and pity, when they simply care about you or when they begin to feel sorry for you, where this line, i will answer this question with a phrase or quote from the book life in episodes by katerina spitz, the one who believes in you will show you how to do it, the one who regrets will do it for you.

you can offer your help, you can conditionally straighten a tie or something else, or talk about how, or better yet, actually talk about how to do it, so that a person learns to do it, so that a certain pattern develops, but as soon as you start doing everything for a person, you completely kill any desire in principle for something to do, it also works with responsibility for... everyone, not only people with special needs, but everyone, because if you don’t give the opportunity to bear responsibility, make mistakes, understand the risks, then a person will not simply know why he needs it , that’s all, that is, responsibility is not an innate quality, you need to give a fishing rod, but not a fish, yes, of course, well, somehow you were noticed in a barbershop, this is also some kind of merit, probably due to the factor byy show that you began.

before the broadcast and we went to the barbershop, but in general i’m a fairly frequent visitor to this establishments, because uh, well, somehow you still need to take care of yourself. our viewers have just seen a photo from the barbershop, you look phenomenal there, very fashionable, danik, good barbershop, stick with it, it is believed that all blind people still have absolute pitch, this is a huge myth, absolute pitch is a certain ability. has a frequency of 440 hz, and if someone presses a phratepian note or

any other note, i will say what note it is, because i have patterns in my head, and i compare the sound of these to this notes with patterns in the head, but... not everyone has such an ear, and i would say that not everyone has it, perhaps my attraction to music was influenced by kindergarten, where i was invited to matinees and where i actively participated in matinees, and then school, where i started professionally, well, well, one might say, professionally, and to study music, then there was a music school and so on, that is, i was, say...

a spectator and you work with the spectator, but at the same time , you are alone, you should not pay attention to external factors, to any distractions factors, yes, because otherwise the act simply wouldn’t work, i had moments several times during the act, the monitors turned off, something else happened, right? and i had to react in a timely manner, i also depend on the work of the sound engineer and the equipment, here , unfortunately, i still don’t have enough experience, if the equipment is not of poor quality or i don’t

like the way it sounds, then of course i will be confused, i will not have enough i’m sure it will be, well, not completely, except for alena tovstik, you became friends with... some things, he really taught me, well, in particular, i know that red is the hottest color in the palette, yes, the hottest, the brightest, evoking

a feeling of danger, yeah, and so on, orange, it’s a little colder, but also quite bright such a catchy color. moreover , yura has some kind of special perception of colors in general, well, they are all kind of interesting artists, they see like that, yes, i’m an artist, i see like that, indeed, i fully understood this phrase, great to you yura, hello, thank you very much for your science, and green is the color of life, the combination of colors is also important, including this will help me in the future. choose some , some clothes, some color scheme so that it doesn’t look funny, well, conditionally, i’ll just say something from my head, brown and red won’t go well together, well, really, and

what color would you paint your victory, if you had the opportunity, first of all, i don’t know all the colors yet, unfortunately we didn’t go through all the colors , well, what color, well, red, the brightest , probably, but these are scorching in his understanding . i admire danik, that’s 100%, but what is he like? you know, he is like a wise man who has lived a certain kind of life, who will teach something in his own way, he has his own view of the world, and this view is very necessary, because, as they say, nanik feels with his soul and heart, that is, you you learn from him, so to speak. yes, well, do you have many friends, can

there be many of them? i have exactly as many friends as i need to feel happy, seriously, that’s because the number doesn’t make any sense if you not happy with these people, with my friends i'm more than happy, but there are a lot of them, uh, no , there aren't many of them, uh, but they are there, and that's great , well look, i really like how... the logic works for you, this one of the well-known laws, yes, not quantity, quality, yes, this is from the principle, it applies not only to friends, how would you like more concerts or once a multimillion-dollar stadium? no, no, no, under no circumstances, uh, firstly, i had the experience of performing at the minsk arena in 2015, and this is of course great, cool, you then he sang the anthems, and it started at the hockey match. but it’s a one-time

thing, you fall in love with it very quickly, yeah, and if it were a one-time thing, well, of course, it wouldn’t be enough for me, but when you have the opportunity to perform, work at some concerts, that’s more interesting, because firstly, different audiences, and these different audiences require different approaches and different meanings, so this is interesting, because you have to learn something new in order to - be - in the flow of this public, that is, for a tour you still ready? well, it depends on - the number of concerts, which - because less than ten numbers per concert makes no sense, this is one moment, the second point, again, comfort is important, because working out 10 numbers is not so easy, i ... i am amazed and admire the people

who work in restaurants from 11 to 6 in the morning , they give it their all, that is, they do not perceive it as some kind of earnings story, they are completely immersed in it, and the songs they perform are not some kind of kabat songs , really serious, it’s worth it the example of grigory viktorovy and leps, this is a classic. now you will hear her, you will probably recognize her by her voice, let’s listen, danil, when you are standing on stage, when you give your talent to people and your emotion comes from your heart, please tell me what you are experiencing at this moment, what are you thinking about, what is filling you with? and what is needed

in order to feel like a happy artist, i learned, of course, of course, how we went through so much with this person that not to know would have been, well, disrespectful or something, except that elena viktorovna is your teacher in music college, and she is also the chairman of the belarusian union of composers, now, yes, yes, yeah, what? well, the song osvetnitsa, which you started with, was also written by her, what should we answer her, elena viktorovna? this is a very interesting question, indeed , i have never thought about it, but some artists told us that during a performance they are carried away somewhere, they think about something completely different from what they are singing or playing about, has this ever happened to you? , to be honest, my head was already spinning from such a question, i somehow i didn’t expect it, you know, elena viktorovna, answering your question. and i am sure that

many viewers wanted to ask me the same question, i will say this: when you understand that these meanings reach people, when you understand that there is feedback, when it is not in vain, and you understand that you for something in this world you need it, for something, uh, these difficulties that you experience, they are intended and... understanding this gives you the strength to move on, because without this i probably can’t imagine my life anymore, without... something speak, listen to answers without even composing something somewhere and so on , well, that is, to summarize, i am filled with the energy that the viewer synthesizes in response to my

message, and what i think about, you know, very it’s hard to say what exactly i ’m thinking about, because rather, as a rule, i just enjoy the performance, if i like it, and if i don’t like it, then of course i try to correct it, but this is probably not entirely correct, i heard something one such truth: let the audience enjoy, and we must work for it, but if so, then it will turn into a routine, this... cannot be allowed, and what is needed to feel happy, there was also a sub-question, in order to feel happy, you need to feel your importance, have a stable, clear and most importantly your own income, because how we wouldn’t talk about

meanings, about the need to fill up and all that, that’s undeniable, but m... material well-being, it allows you to fill up more widely and faster, including through visiting certain places, through communicating with people , thanks to the acquisition of some new things that also bring happiness. you are absolutely right, danik with the budget and with the means everything is happening much faster in this world, we have to agree with you again. but now there is no need. let's take a break, after a short break we will return to this studio again, for now subscribe to our telegram channel, say don't be silent, look for all our episodes on the youtube channel belarus 1.

on the air again say, don't be silent, our guest is the winner of the third season of the show factor byy daniil sove. tata, we are together with you, as we have a new car. and all at once i pachakaytse, kali laska, pachakaytse. and all the time i want to tell you, dad, mom, sister, brother. on the getai machine we eat

dry food, which is called zhytstse. well, this is probably how i should be happy. end of all stories, in a new car, you are driving to a new life, the family reunion took place, of course, and it took place even at the stage when we came to shoot this business card for the sixth broadcast of factor byy, and it was unforgettable, of course, and you know, what marked it most was not the number of treats on the table. not a warm welcome, but first of all because my brother , little romka, for the first time in all the months he received a warm welcome from his parents, because their welcome is always his life, he went into my arms, i ’m rarely at home and he, well, is a little

afraid of me , but he just doesn’t have time to get used to it, well , he’s still small, these are properties for children, but then... he actively wanted to be held in my arms, recently i came, i also held him in my arms, this is another moment that fills me , which allows me to move on, but how did you manage to do this so quickly? let go of the offense, the offense that you talked about in the first issues, and you know, well, what’s the point of being offended, that’s life. in life, unfortunately, it doesn’t happen that people meet our expectations, and even if that were the case, it would be boring. firstly, secondly , i just needed to understand how much was done for me

, how many sleepless nights there were, how many nerves were wasted, again, the condemnation that my parents faced after the second broadcast made me understand that no matter what happened to us , they are not to blame for the fact that you are unfair, yes, in relation to them, that everything turned out this way, yes... well, you know, we all saw with what eyes your father looks at you, and these are unconditionally loving parents, danik, do you, do you feel this love? certainly, unconditionally, i feel it, otherwise i would not have said this speech and would not have done what happened, at which moment this turning point occurred in you, and you realized that parental love, it exists unconditionally, that’s exactly the moment i can’t say, simply because i don’t remember, but...

every child has a parent a certain question: why, why , why did you do this or that way, and as a parent, you know, i’ll put it more simply, here are quotes from vkontakte: every child always, no matter how ideal the parent is, will have something to say to their psychotherapist, this right, and you also mentioned your grandmother, why did you have more with her? contact, explain to me, she left on the eve of the show, we really sympathize with you, but as we discussed, she’s probably hovering around somewhere, because her help is obvious, it

affects how you went this path deservedly became the winner, well, i would like to know why she became such a closer person to you, grandmother, as my mother said and as i saw myself, absolutely always, no matter what happened, loved me and... at some point mom even said that she loved me more than everyone else, yeah, and uh , of course, it happened, unfortunately, that she left, but it was expected, i can’t say that it was unexpected, if a we didn’t expect this, it would have been very difficult on the air, but she was very sick, she and she was ill for a long time, she lost several children. in a short period of time she lost her husband , all this affected her, in my opinion, for her this is more of a deliverance than something bad,

before her death she said the most important thing, i even have a recording on my phone of our conversation, thank god, i just realized that we might never see each other, so i did it and i don’t regret it, she said that you have to get out into the people, you have to win, you have to become...

so in my case i for i clearly defined myself that i have no right to make mistakes, in this is the difficulty of my choice, because after the academy there... if , god forbid, something happens, i suddenly switch somewhere, i will no longer have such an opportunity, but then again, what is the academy, it is certainly a society, these are definitely contacts, these are definitely some projects, but this is too, too distant a prospect of what will happen in the end, now i already have some definite outlines ... what could be, where i can go go, i have a certain agility, in the end after all, i’ll be honest, i’ve always dreamed

of really working, but i don’t like it. to study, but, but i really like to work , that is, i always tried to get a hacksaw from my dad to cut wood, to cut, to do something, to learn how to hammer nails, a couple of times i even tried to work in the garden, but due to the fear of insects unfortunately, i can’t do this, although i would probably be inspired by it, yes, because well, this is basically my whole life, but it’s built on soviet... culture, on the culture of working people, and despite my some kind of artistic story, i would still like to work, well , it brings confidence, you can imagine what it’s like for a person at 20 to come home from work at 21 and say, my love, i’m at home, and you already something, i think i guessed what it was, well, that is, everything,

finally, yes, but... and also, of course, the reason is that you don’t like to study, you yourself have admitted this many times, but we haven’t heard you perform jazz or opera standards yet, you haven’t shown us arias, danil, there is room to grow in music if you if you like to work, work on your voice. in order to grow in music, it is absolutely not necessary to enroll in any institutions; for this it is enough just not to lose touch with the teacher. because i plan to fly to russia, that is, there are much more opportunities, well, as a tutor and also improve myself, i plan to fly somewhere, in principle, doing this with my studies is extremely problematic, so yeah, i want, i just want a little

feel freer, but does your mentor support you in this? well we are somehow we didn’t really discuss it, we only discussed that i should finish college, but this is obvious, because there are already six months left, then, then i’m free, i’m nobody’s, then i’ll somehow think about something, very it was an interesting interview, danik, thank you very much for coming, i wanted to do this, not on the run, not behind the scenes, i told you, i wanted to sit with you, listen to you, it’s wonderful to hear yours.

today we say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, now says daniil savenya, dear friends, what i would like to tell you, and first of all , is that each of you is unique in what you do, even if it seems to you that you are doing nothing, i would sincerely like to wish you all to be kinder to each other. be more patient, although sometimes this is extremely difficult. i would like to wish you sincere, kind love that fills you, because in love there is the appearance of something new, someone new. i would sincerely like to thank

each of you, tatyana andreevna, all the college teachers, thanks to whom all this became possible story, in conclusion i want to say, be yourself, everything will work out for you. danik, today you opened our eyes to many things from your

own life, we ask you to record these impressions on ours... not from the neural network, leave an autograph of your wishes, so here, yes, yes. what does this mean? this is my signature so strange. well, it's as weird as anything you do. thanks a lot.

yes, they once said that in every farmstead there was such a plant, it was called angelica, so people believed in this legend and even they said that this plant was the cure for all ailments; all their life is connected with the potency of the plant. porovsky wall mowing began in this very place, and i was a direct participant in these haymaking, it was very interesting, well...

this is a panorama, a live broadcast, about the main events of friday, february 2, i, sergey lugovsky, will tell you, hello, issues of national importance, the president.
