we will discuss the topic of belarusian independence later in the program, but for now let’s move on to economic news. contracts amount to more than one billion 100 million belarusian rubles. this is the result of one forum of regions of belarus and russia, which was hosted by the vitebsk region. our columnist vysotskaya has details. successful and effective projects of the union state, experts at various levels say, and it continues to grow with ambitious initiatives. this year, for the first time, participants were met in three cities at once: polotsk, novopolotsk, vitebsk, from the education of science to industry and agriculture. the work of nine sections is to shake hands and discuss personally the union's prospects, the key topic being innovation. signed an agreement with the university of nizhny novgorod, which. they were interested in

research into the genetics of longevity of belarusians, and decisions have already been made on how we will continue to jointly carry out these developments. on vitebsk land, achievements of the national economy, innovative products, 40 best samples from our auto giants, more than 120 scientific and technical developments, quite a few projects that allied minds worked on, like lathes and microcircuits. today , more than 60 joint programs have been implemented from mechanical engineering to kos. we were already heading to the forum and there were about four hundred commercial contract agreements, so this is such a deluge of paper documents that shows that at the forum this is really the tip of the iceberg, the pinnacle of the work that has been carried out over the course of a year, or maybe more. the format of interaction between the regions of belarus and russia is in many ways unique, and is supported by supervised personally by state leaders. despite external pressure, belarus and russia are confidently developing union integration. and they rely

on ensuring technological sovereignty , national security, innovations are being introduced, interregional cooperation is the heart of these allied relations. the coming years promise to be breakthroughs in drivers from the tank, car and aircraft structure. in recent years , belarus and russia have implemented a number of strategically important decisions, thanks to which they have achieved breakthrough successes, and the union integration has entered a new stage of development. however, the essence of the current era is not to rest on our laurels, we have truly reached an unprecedented level of cooperation and interaction, and in all areas, without exception, a whole range of many joint projects are being implemented, including, perhaps most importantly, 28 union programs. the next twelfth forum of regions of belarus and russia will take place. nizhny

novgorod. belarus and russia set the tone for integration processes in the space of the eurasian economic union. many successful projects of the two are then actively implemented in the fives, which are in the top. for example, transport and logistics. at the business forum in almaty, it was stated that the intersection of the axes, west-east and north-south, are convenient connections and cheaper logistics - by 40 percent. new routes make it possible to trade with a large number of goods. for belarus, which is increasing trade with the eurasian union and china, this is an important project, new opportunities arise to first go from belarus to carry goods to the east, and then turn to the south, or along the north-south itc or along other future corridors that are now in development, new trade opportunities will arise with the middle east, the gulf and india, first of all, these are the regions with which we currently lack trade by about three times.

that logistics is very expensive and long, when the goods that are now being translated conventionally takes 40 days and costs $4.00, will take 18 days and costs $2,000, absolutely new opportunities will appear, including for belarusian exports, for belarusian imports . 70% of all international transportation from belarus today goes in eastern and southern directions, so routes, new connection points, where... and new terminals and the development of the operator business are a plus. the development of the transport framework for belarus is an opportunity for new access to new markets and new ports using different modes of transport, rail and road. right now there is a lot of discussion about the project for the development of railway infrastructure in the direction of the baltic ports. and for belarus this is very important will have, because it will allow export products to be exported in larger volumes and at lower costs. to other

countries of the world through the ports of the baltic basin. the eurasian frame is not only for cargo, but also for passengers. transit and tourism are all about the export of transport services, which means the country’s income and new jobs. the economy of the eurasian region is growing at a fairly steady pace this year; the weather forecast for the total gdp of the eau is not lower than 3.5%. for the second year in a row, we expect it to be above the global average. experts they predict that the trade turnover of the eurasian five countries will increase by 40% by the thirtieth year. and today, active work is underway to create commodity distribution networks. a russian company announced the development of cooperation ties with the minsk civil aviation plant. tupolev in the united aircraft corporation. belarus and russia are increasing cooperation in the aviation sector. what is known about this? the parties have been cooperating for several years, this time in the portfolio of russian orders for the tu-214 aircraft. the first airliner is already in our country, it arrived, called the flying laboratory. it

will test russian components and on-board equipment under the program of complete import substitution. they intend to replace all foreign parts, and about 15 percent of them remain, by the end of the year, and by the thirtieth year to release 70 of these carcasses in a new import-substituted form. in russia , they are making a big bet on these aircraft; they are planning to put them at the core of aircraft fleets. lighner is being updated in a new hangar at the plant; its features are essentially unique in that in addition to painting work, technical aircraft maintenance and repair. the complex was opened only in april of this year, but the portfolio of orders has already been accumulated. in line for a new one. basically, let’s say, during the pre-sanction period, the russian federation mostly painted and washed its planes abroad, that is, in western europe, after the border was closed, there actually weren’t many opportunities left, i think we’ll lend our hand

so that all russian planes, not only those that have already flown, that were produced a long time ago, but also new aircraft, their own levrey, they will make it at our factory. the plant is working. in three niches at once, specialists take on the overhaul of old soviet ships, maintenance of new russian western ships, il, yak, sukhoi, superjet, boeing, airbus, there are enough competencies in plans to place an engine maintenance base on its premises until the thirtieth year. thank you, the review was prepared by olesya vysotskaya. more news from the economic sphere and not only on the website of our tv channel belarus24.by. independence day of the republic of belarus and the eightieth anniversary of liberation from german fascist invaders, this is truly a sacred date for every belarusian, which symbolizes the perseverance and heroism of the generation of winners. the holiday united all belarusians living in the country and far beyond its borders. it allows you to be proud of your

homeland and great history. about the national flavor of the independent policy of belarus and the country’s image in the international arena. we will talk with our guest, political scientist vadim borovik. "hello, hello, so what does this important day mean to you personally, for every belarusian independence day, i am sure that we are all filled with pride for our nation, for our people, on this day our capital was liberated, and subsequently the whole of belarus was liberated as a result of operation bagration, and of course, we understand how important it is today.”

on our own land, this is very important, and we are donors in a sense of regional stability, because - our policy is always aimed at listening to our partners, at respecting the interests of our partners, but at the same time we we know how to firmly defend our national

interests, of course, this is the economy, we have built a very powerful, serious economy for a central european state, we have a very solid economy, it is open. we not only preserved the heritage that we inherited from the soviet union, we improved it, modernized it, modernized such areas as milk. oil refining, wood processing, a number of other industries, we have built new industries, this is the nuclear industry, and biotechnology, space technology, that is, in matters we can really be proud of the economy, and of course we have managed in the sphere of culture, the social sphere, on the one hand, to preserve our originality, flavor, and at the same time very harmoniously fit this into the culture of other peoples who inhabit our land, this speaks about. ..

partner, so i believe that these aspects reflect the achievement of modern belarus, without which today it is impossible to imagine the sovereignty of the state in the modern world, or this is the component in principle i named, but we must understand, first, if we we are talking about security - this is a well -functioning economy, because if you do not have the funds to maintain socio-political stability, that is , within the country we must ensure stability, in order to maintain stability we need funds in order to have funds. we need well-functioning enterprises, exports, imports

, etc. must be diversified, despite the sanctions, we are constantly working on diversification, please note, even if the door was slammed on us somewhere, we in other regions of the world we are opening quite serious markets for ourselves so that, as they say, we do not fly on one wing, but at the same time we need to understand, of course, a strong economy, it also makes it possible to invest correctly. funds in security issues, because there must be combat-ready armed forces, and you need to use those techniques that allow you not to direct all the funds to the war, as they say, yes, for this we are building allied relations with our strategic partners, with the russian the federation, with china, within the csto, we have certain guarantees; it is for this purpose, in order to be able to inflict an asymmetrical response on the enemy, we have deployed tactical nuclear weapons on our territory, that is, this is a complex. measures on the one hand, a functioning economy, maintaining internal socio-political stability, control of the political system,

combat-ready armed forces, the ability to inflict an asymmetrical response to the enemy, plus a very subtle internal foreign policy, we do not provoke situations within the country, on the outer perimeter, we are constantly trying to smooth out some corners, we understand our place in the world, we do not push all the odds and build a policy in such a way that partners. our interests were taken into account, but we did not provoke them to any unfriendly actions, in recent years we understand everything, we see that military activity is increasing on our borders, intelligence is working and military exercises, a countless number, in your opinion, is it necessary today to defend our independence and sovereignty more than before, well, it is obvious that taking into account the current vigilance of the entire society, it is clear that when we talk about senior management. that,

probably, ministries and departments are subordinated means adequately responding to the challenges that our country faces, including the president of the country and the security bloc, everything, including in matters of security, taking into account what is happening at our borders, taking into account those movements and the deployment of a contingent and... support for this contingent on the border with belarus, but nevertheless we must understand today only the unity of the belarusian people, joint responsibility for security and peace on their land can help us, so this quintessence is the cooperation of those people who are endowed with powers and responsibilities to ensure peace and order on earth, all citizens who will be vigilant, who will perform efficiently their official duties, who will promptly inform... law enforcement agencies about any actions that may harm our national interests, who will monitor their own, maybe

minors or even relatives who may be involved in some extremist and other groups, all this can allow us to maintain peace on our land, of course we must be three times more vigilant today, there is a war on our borders, there is a danger of escalation and this means wars in europe, we understand this, we are doing everything today.

soviet, which did not tie it to the day of exit, the adoption of the declaration of independence, the exit of the ussr, that is, to the collapse of the country, well, in principle, it was both a tragedy and an act definitions of independence, but it was such a rather difficult period, and we focused on the fact that our people won this independence with their valor, their heroism, and that we must remember this feat for centuries, that is, this is how we are educating our youth . serious work is being carried out in educational institutions, we have significantly strengthened this work, firstly, we are working on curricula, textbooks, in order to prevent any false facts in these materials, or to prevent someone from being ambiguous interpret the activities of collaborators, criminals, traitors, today we have

a clear position, we must condemn the crimes of the nazis on our territory, and we must remember this. we preserve monuments, cultural heritage, we do not fight monuments and we are on the contrary, we constantly invite our younger generation to visit certain places in an organized manner, we are building new complexes, such as the museum of the great patriotic war, we reconstructed khatyn, the brest fortress, then there are such monumental buildings that they carry cultural and historical value, but they also give a spiritual and moral message to society, of course, one cannot fail to note.

i understand that if a country assumes obligations, then if our interests are not violated and the counterparty does not act from the point of view of some personal gain to the detriment of our interests, we will always fulfill our obligations, respect our country in the context of the fact that we have preserved industry, economy, the fact that we do not act under someone’s dictation in the international arena, how many times have we been... tried with sanctions, some kind of external pressure force us to take any action, we have always shown perseverance, and we have never deliberately tried to aggravate relations in order to ruin relations with our partners, we have always said, we will shake hands with any partner who respects us and who does not want to talk to us from a position of strength, this is the policy we are pursuing, therefore, well

, listen, even at the everyday level, this visa-free regime, this is such a soft power, comes to us, they see how... visitors come to us not only from the russian federation, they are very happy, so we can rightly say that today we are respected in the world, no matter what anyone tries.

which enjoys the support of countries such as the russian federation, the people's republic of china, india, a number of other countries, kazakhstan, our partners in this organization , etc., secondly, what does this give us? there

are a number of aspects here: this is economic cooperation, this is the development of transport and logistics connections, this is access to new technologies, this is participation in building a new architecture of international relations, because those countries that, in principle, united in this... organization, in many ways their leaders share our position in the context that the transformation of the international political system, the international economic system is inevitable, which is important, and those countries that take such an active, proactive position as belarus, they do not are simply passive observers of these processes, they, of course, will determine the course of world history for the next decades, we say again: we understand our place in the world, we understand how much we can influence, but what is with us are considered, our opinion is heard, it is heard, this is very important, and of course , security issues, the issue of fighting terrorism,

drug trafficking, etc., these aspects are also discussed and resolved within the framework of the shanghai cooperation organization, and this is just another very convenient form of such diplomacy , when our leader comes to these forums, we always see bilateral meetings taking place, we immediately agree on maybe some official visits or... as for sick leave, according to the new rules, some citizens will receive an increase compensation. the average daily earnings will be calculated by the social protection fund

with 100% compensation. and what is relevant for part-time workers is that sick leave will now be paid only at the main place of work, but taking into account the earnings of all employers. our testing period began in november, first we captured large organizations of various types of economic activity, tested them with them and invited them on april 1. to test all our employers, thanks to the fact that we carried out such a large-scale outreach, more than 90% of employers connected and tested with us before july 1st. from july 1 , not only sick leave, but also social benefits are calculated in a new way. let me remind you that pensions, benefits for families raising children, benefits for caring for disabled people of the first group or pensioners over 80 years old can only be received through banks. this applies to those who live in minsk, regional cities and district centers. cooperation of higher schools, a large academic forum in minsk brought together rectors of leading universities in belarus and china. what agreements have been reached? an important outcome of the forum was the signing of an initiative on

chinese-belarusian cooperation in the field of fundamental scientific research. the forum was held for the second time; representatives of more than 40 universities in belarus and china came to minsk. emphasis on teaching methodology. the training of highly qualified specialists is especially relevant given the ambitious plans of minsk and beijing. belarus and china. strategic partners in everything: politics, economics, cultural sphere, education - this is not only the foundation for scientific contacts, but investments in the future work for the future. today , there are more than 700 agreements between universities in china and belarus, over 200 of which were signed in the last 2 years alone. we visited the belarusian state university and note that, for example, the faculty of biology really occupies a leading position on the world stage. thanks to the belarusians, we have achieved excellent results in the region. biotechnology, medicine, chemistry and physics. what professions will be the most in demand? the question is complex. i can guess that prestigious specialties will be those related to artificial intelligence and new

materials. we showed an exhibition of scientific achievements of the belarusian state university, dear mr. khaupin, he was very interested in the medicines that bsu produces. i see this as one of the dominant features of our future scientific cooperation, including fundamental cooperation in the field of biology and medicine. we are talking about very subtle processes, about the processes of recognizing each other friend, the processes of, say, acquiring mutual trust. about the development of partnerships. party committee of peking university haoping and representatives of chinese universities. the head of state proposed jointly creating a global educational scientific platform on the territory of belarus, including for promoting projects on the european continent. well, next year it is planned to hold a belarusian-chinese innovative youth forum in minsk. this will be a new milestone in strengthening

promising cooperation. froze the ninety-first season premiered on the playbill of the bolshoi theater of belarus. the good old fairy tale about cinderella lives on stage. what will the new story be? there are many versions of cinderella, from classic to avant-garde. belarusian audiences will enjoy a family play about kindness, friendship and love for one’s neighbor. the atmosphere of magic was created by people's artist of belarus konstantin kuznetsov and honored artist of the republic of belarus yulia detko. vyacheslav okunev, a recognized master and national artist, worked on the costumes and set design. russia has already designed the belarusian stage for the ballet sleeping beauty. in the bolshoi theater, cinderella 2024 is the third adaptation of the literary plot. lexically, well, we are trying our best to stay in the academic tradition, well, a little, maybe we’ll misbehave a little here and there, but the material itself in this case, well, requires certain adherence to certain canons, so everything is quite neat.

everything will happen here. according to our old man charles perot, that is, there will be no time travel, everything is in the canons, especially since the performance is planned for family viewing, we now we were trying to put together such a massive scene of the ball, now we are putting all the pieces together, trying to put them together, because a lot of things have already been set aside, we need to put them together like a puzzle with... of course there are many performers, who will become the mistress of the lost glass slipper, big, is about to reveal the intrigue, premiere shows on july 6 and 7. thank you, the review was prepared by elena putus. 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 available on the website belarus24.bbi, as well as on social networks. i say goodbye to you. all the best.
