this slavic bazaar, for some reason my soul little by little begins to sing, it is thanks to the support of the head of state that the slavic bazaar flourishes every july. stalin, for the second time, i think, not the last, the program is really very rich, very interesting, i know that they were waiting for us here, so we came here with great desire, we adore belarus, your slavic bazaar is a pearl, magnificent, simply magnificent , and

it’s so good, and so great, and people are in the same mood, and what do we expect from the holiday, we were there last year too, and we were at this opening, and that’s why we came for the second time and will continue to do so. come every year. and one more bright event: tomorrow at the slavic bazaar is the day of national cultures of the sco member countries. a large group of journalists work in vitebsk. the impression is already on internet platforms and on television. it is art, it is the craving for beauty that can now change our world, or at least preserve it. belarus officially joined the shanghai organization of cooperation. i think this is right, and your country. more than worthy. the slavic bazaar gives beginning artists the opportunity to make their voices heard. based on the results of two competition days, our zlata eroshevich has 136 points. a fourteen-year-old performer from the postavy region is in

the top five, according to the international jury. when i sang, i directly thought about my country. i love belarus very much. and therefore, when i sang, i dedicated this song specifically. i remember all the people who are dear to me and i know that they believe in me. in three over the decades, the slavic bazaar has grown from a song forum and become a platform for cultural diplomacy. every year dozens of world languages ​​are heard in vitebsk. the festival's expanses today showcased pakistan's cultural diversity and landscapes, with impressive views as well as opportunities for interaction. this year our exhibition is special: pakistan and belarus are celebrating their thirtieth anniversary. and it begins. marina romanovskaya, mikhail for the artists and for the audience, because everything is only

khristoforov, television news agency. amazing holiday atmosphere, unity has always been maintained at the highest level in belarus. by tradition, participation in the opening ceremony of the festival. today the president is receiving, at these moments our correspondents are working in the summer amphitheater , we plan to show all the details a little later in the panorama, at 22:00 on belarus 1 and belarus24, watch the opening ceremony of the international arts festival slavic bazaar in vitebsk. our country strives for mutual understanding not only through art. today the tenth anniversary brix forum began in st. petersburg. he collected more than 400 representatives from 16 countries. for the first time, the belarusian parliamentary delegation is participating in a brix-plus meeting at

the leadership level of both chambers of parliament. what prospects does joining brix open for our country? why is it so important today to maintain political sovereignty? from the tovrian palace. chikom builds political and economic relations with many countries of the world. today brix is ​​a union of nine states, and 23 countries have already applied for membership, including belarus. today the delegations of these states more than 400 people gathered at the tovrian palace in st. petersburg for the tenth brix parliamentary forum. it is no coincidence that there are no vacancies in all nearby hotels these days . the main topic of the forum is the role of parliament in building a multipolar, fair world. also strengthening international security. therefore, speaking to the forum participants, the chairman of the council

of the republic emphasized: brix is ​​a new powerful geopolitical center, whose role is steadily growing. this is a great platform when we can announce almost everything peace, that we are a peace-loving country, that aggression against anyone will never come from our land, but that we see the processes that are taking place now, the geopolitical division of the world. the turbulence that exists, interference in the internal affairs of countries, imposition of one’s agenda, this is unacceptable, despite the language barriers, i heard that we are all talking about the same thing, we are all concerned about the ongoing processes in the world. today belarus is a candidate for joining brix. at the summit in south africa, which took place in august last year, partner countries assured the belarusian foreign ministry that our application was a priority. belarus can offer sustainable economic development, the creation of more... fair alternatives to payment systems, the interconnection of the eurasian economic union, the shanghai

cooperation organization and brix could accelerate the processes of becoming a multipolar world. belarus, it is not just our friend or our partner in the union state, it is a very reliable partner for any association and for brix in particular. firstly, belarus always keeps its promises, and secondly, it determines a lot.

applies to belarus and china. perhaps this strategy is equally adopted

by other people, but we take care of our own home. the strategic partners continue joint exercises as part of anti-terrorist training attacking falcon at the bressky training ground, military personnel practiced a tactical episode of clearing the interior of the building, as well as a joint landing of personnel from an mi-8 helicopter using wing-type parachutes from an altitude of 1,500 m. we completed tasks remotely. and landing in the designated area to perform further tasks. preparations for distancing were carried out several days before the tasks were carried out; both the military personnel of both the belarusian side and the chinese side were generally prepared and ready to perform any tasks. also, the assault groups, together with the support group of the combined belarusian-chinese unit , worked out an episode with elements of tactical shooting. let me remind you that anti-terrorism exercises will be held on... july 19, if looking back some 30 years ago,

the belarusian army was an institution that the authorities were mercilessly cutting down, cutting down, and the prestige of the serviceman was reduced to nothing. today belarusians are proud of their armed forces, but those who harbor aggressive plans fear them and do not give them a free hand. there are subjective reasons for the current status, the disposition of which is discussed in the draft. disposition is on the air, this is gagarin, let's go. when we see military units and formations at training grounds or in parade formation, we cannot believe that belarus has an army.

need not. the west then welcomed only an unconditional reduction of troops, without taking into account national interests, and the equipment was cut for scrap. but there was already a breakthrough. 30 years ago , the first national elections were held in the republic, the head of state, alexander lukashenko was elected president, and he also became commander-in-chief of the armed forces and immediately the defense instruments. it was necessary to act quickly and decisively. they cut everything, planes, tanks.

such urine, i stopped this massacre and forbade the destruction of armored vehicles. army still fell into the abyss, but the military finally saw a strong hand on their side and on the side of the interests of an independent state, even though they had to swim against the tide, but the young leader chose a clear course for the country’s security and energetically created defense mechanisms. the head of state strictly set tasks for transforming the army and explained to the people what... he sees as a defense system, organized a dialogue with society, received full support, well, the troops, imbued with trust, of course, could not let them down. lukashenko gave energy to the army the largest stage of reform often occurred in tenia, when , contrary to the opinion of skeptics, the commander-in-chief decided to form his own aviation, scientific school, and his own military

education system in the army. history has taught us that there must be any peaceful policy. supported by the real ability of the state to protect its people. when touching on safety issues, i constantly repeat the thesis: gunpowder must be kept dry. availability of ready-made armed forces, a territorial defense system, and effective support institutions law and order is a guarantee of peace and tranquility in our land. already in 2020 , the security system created in the country did not allow it. collapse the state, and the leader, who himself took up arms, showed his readiness to defend the republic to the end, and this was a signal not only for opponents, when your commander-in-chief with a machine gun, doubts among people in uniform were excluded, the entire army then became a monolith, ready to repel aggression, but in august 2020 the tension at the western borders of belarus reached a dangerous

limit, taking advantage of the fifth attempt columns to carry out a coup d'état, nato units in poland, lithuania and latvia were sent to the border borders of the republic, a real threat of invasion by these forces arose under the cover of the false slogan of protecting the polish minority. president lukashenko ordered to take retaliatory measures and not hesitate to withdraw armed forces in the direction of movement of the north atlantic alliance forces. since then , military units have invariably strengthened sections of the state border, countering the trafficking of weapons by sabotage groups. at the same time, the troops were fed.

russian soldiers and officers have invaluable combat experience, but of course, the most difficult for alexander grigorievich was the decision to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus. the world in eastern europe has been in a gray zone for several years now, and the international situation around it resembles a minefield, where every wrong move is fraught with an explosion. in this situation, being the helmsman means being the first to risk the lives of your entire people, but you have to go in order to leave. it will still be a long time from the war before citizens of belarus are aware of the necessity and timeliness of every decision of the president to strengthen defense, but the best thing i can tell about the role of the commander-in-chief now is: peaceful skies above the country.

meanwhile, nato is strengthening its military presence in the baltic countries, as stated by the lithuanian ministry of defense, this is being done in order to increase the army’s ability to conduct combat operations on the borders. towards the eastern borders at present. additional units are being assembled, their exact number is not reported, it is only known that we are talking about thousands of fighters. air defense systems and equipment are also being transferred. meanwhile, in poland , the american aegis system is in full readiness; it is deployed in redikova in the north of the country. nato secretary general stoltenberg said this is an important step for transatlantic security and the alliance's ability to defend against the growing threat of ballistic missiles. no specifics, vague terms, the results of the anniversary nato summit in washington became known even before the official end of the event. joint declaration

adopted on the second day of the meeting, it was expected to state that ukraine is on an irreversible path to the alliance, but an invitation to the bloc will only be sent when all allies agree that kiev has fulfilled the necessary conditions, and nato is also going to continue expansion in the black sea by eastern. while maintaining that it does not seek confrontation and does not pose a threat to russia. in order not to have to fight, it is better to defend your sovereignty in the fields of peaceful fields - this is constantly emphasized by the head of state. belarus itself provides food, became one of the five largest exporters in europe, and began to increase with the growth of exports. investment imports, together we managed to make belarus not only sovereign, but also economically independent, which is much more difficult. and we achieved such results thanks to the hard work

of the belarusians and the far-sighted policy of our president, with his experience in managing the land. it's a busy time for farmers right now; harvesting is going on all over the country. the main forces are directed to the fields of winter barley. it has ripened earlier and will become a significant addition to the overall loaf. 208 have already been harvested. this is 79. from the plan, while last year it was more than 48%, and the grodno and brez regions are entering the finish line, they have already removed over 98% of the harvested area. there are 704,000 tons of barley for asimov's milk, the yield throughout belarus is 33.8 centners per hectare. grain also keeps up with the pace of the harvest; almost 763,000 tons of new crops have already been threshed, with an average yield of 34 cents per hectare. the goal this year is ambitious - to collect about 10 million tons of bread. and the main key to the success of the harvest - comfortable and safe working conditions. for

many years, the federation of trade unions of belarus has been providing comprehensive support to agricultural workers. sergey ladosev will talk about what assistance the organization provides to farmers during the harvesting campaign. since the very morning , work has been in full swing in the fields of the lyubensky district. the region is one of the first in the region to start harvesting. and there are already three combine operators, thousanders. and drivers, while our village workers are working in the field, at the same time the canteen workers prepare for them tasty, nutritious, and most importantly - hot food. today our workers have mushroom soup, pasta, frying, fresh cucumber comes extra, a bun, compote. the menu is compiled for 10 days; most agricultural enterprises provide two hot meals a day, but there are exceptions, depending on the work schedule. after all the preparations. the food is collected in containers and loaded onto a truck, then hot lunches are delivered to the workers directly to their place of work. farmers are also required to provide one and a half liters of mineral water.

the issue of partial reducing the cost of food, or completely , the organization or the employer agrees to such conditions in which it pays for food to its employees within the framework of the cleaning company. based on the analysis of the work performed. i can clearly say that in a number of organizations the cost of food is reduced by up to 70%. traditionally, during the harvesting campaign, the fpb operates a republican headquarters, which involves representatives of the trade union of workers in all industries; every year they promptly get involved in resolving all pressing issues, for example, this year a new practice has been introduced: now during lunch , a health worker will come to the place of work of farmers and conduct a timely examination of patients, our central district hospital. they offer help on the spot, in case patients become ill, we measure blood pressure, provide first aid, and we can also monitor their health status, we have medications in our packs,

that is, we can give - hypertensive drugs, we can also give for headaches , also under the control of the fpb, the availability of personal protective equipment and protective clothing for workers. as for technology, here there is everything you need, a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, and it is also important that all moving rotating mechanisms must be equipped with protective elements. dozens of pieces of equipment go out to clean the fields of the farm every day; each one is inspected before starting work. we still have 2,500 hectares left to harvest. there are 10 combines, so this load is not so large, 250 hectares per combine, so we will harvest on time, the combines are all in good working order, tested, my crews are all experienced, the machine operators are all good, the fpb has a hotline for protection and working conditions of harvest participants, from 8:30 to 22:00 , you can get advice on the phones indicated on the screen or report problems related to labor safety, comfort, compliance...

with labor legislation, fpb specialists analyze each call in detail, and, if necessary, travel all necessary assistance is provided on site. sergey ladosiev, anatoly dolotovsky, television news agency. the quality of life of our people is a priority of state policy, major renovation of the housing stock under the control of the president. why are contractors in no hurry?

source codes and why the quality and timing actually diverge from what was promised, so they made the steps on which i have already fallen twice, but the tender should weed out all the dishonest ones, let’s say, how is it that they still end up with such objects? the choice of a contractor is a guarantee of the future comfort of citizens, but even having taken into account all the costs, sometimes the texture of the work cannot be assembled into a single puzzle; i simply decided not to lay some of the insulation on the roof. he just didn't put him to bed, he promised and didn't. to restore order in the housing and communal services sector, where every fifth complaint from citizens relates to major repairs, instructions from the head of state. they came, destroyed the apartment or the roof, made it worse than it was, which means we need to do it in such a way that it is not commonplace. where did the contributions for major repairs from the owners' associations go, and why does this scheme no longer

work? of course, there are certain irregularities, but there is no longer such a wave of problems as there were before. joint project of the state control committee of the television news agency under control president. watch it on the evening broadcast. and we are returning again to festival vitebsk, the opening ceremony has just taken place there on 33. this long-awaited july evening has arrived, we are opening an international arts festival, a slavic bazaar, a festival

that has become a whole... era through art to a world of mutual understanding, this is how we defined philosophy this festival has deep roots. here, on the picturesque bank of the dvina, 1050 years ago the first stone of the city was laid, which today we rightfully call our cultural capital.
