have such a wonderful facility in minsk, restored for the holiday. planes are flying from gomel to moscow again, the cities have been connected belia regular flight, what is the frequency of flights? in week. they provided for three flights on tuesdays, fridays and sundays, and if it took 7-8 hours to get there on the ground, then in the sky this time would take just under an hour and a half. planes land in vnukovo, convenient logistics, the airport is only 19 km from the russian capital, aeroexpress runs, and recently the metro. more than half a thousand tickets have already been purchased for the coming months. this trace is our attempt to revive flights from regional airports. republic of belarus, to the capital of the russian federation and not only, we will closely monitor these flights, but today it is clear that this is already a success, further in our plans, and if we talk about regular flights from gomel, this is st. petersburg, in the summer

most likely sochi, to antalya in the spring, we are sure that demand will grow, and that this, well , this is an increase in frequencies for us, for our airport, this is potential income, we... are very pleased, so we will try to match the high quality of billavia and to provide a service that will be in demand and will be at its best in moscow. another popular air route from gomel is resuming to the delight of tourists - charter flights to egyptian sharmalsheikh. the first plane will take to the skies on january 21 and plans to fly once every 10 days. 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 www.belarus24. and we return to the topic of the chinese international import exhibition. within the framework of the forum , thematic days of the region were held in belarus. how was it the export potential of the vitebsk region is presented and how the region as a whole is developing the chinese vector of cooperation today.

let's ask the chairman of the vitebsk regional executive committee alexander subotin. alexander mikhailovich. hello, what surprised visitors to the import exhibition in shanghai, vitebsk region? you know, it's probably difficult. chinese colleagues may be surprised by something, but i think we brought quite a large number of our enterprises, the ideas that are being developed in these enterprises, the product options that they produce, our food products were especially in demand, the products of the molprom meat concern and the products of the vidbach confectionery factory, which always traditionally attracted queues at its tables and the result was... the highest reviews about the quality, taste and usefulness of these products, i think this should probably be noted first of all, but the rest, of course, warm communication and possible prospects aroused genuine interest among our chinese colleagues. what were

your expectations from participating in this forum ? were they met? you know, any forum is in any case, an opportunity to once again express yourself, your capabilities, the capabilities of your... enterprises, advertise yourself, well, find friends and partners for further successful projects, so the expectations were probably the highest - to get acquainted, sign several contracts , direct contracts whenever possible and once again declare ourselves that we can deliver to the people's republic of china, i think that at least we have achieved that they now know about us, they know about us not only in the people's republic of china, because how practice has shown that there were a large number of foreign guests at this exhibition, and ... a large amount of handout material was distributed in the format of business cards, in the format

of various prospectuses - proposals, well , it is gratifying to note that this particular exhibition, it contributed to the fact that the framework of commercial relations goes beyond all relations, a lot of interesting projects are planned in the field of science, in the field of education in the field of cultural cooperation. what is today in general? region offers to the chinese market and what are your competitive advantages? we traditionally, probably, have a very convenient logistics position for our chinese partners, we have two free economic zones that are quite conveniently located and have a very convenient infrastructure, various, not only transport, but also energy, financial, and so on, and of course traditionally various... goods that are in demand in the people 's republic of china, which we are removing from the category

of raw materials, this is not only milk powder, skimmed milk powder, not only oil in large boxes, not only linen fabrics, but these are final products , these are clothes, these are cables, these are some kind of composite materials, these are food products that... are packaged in small packaging that is in demand by consumers in the people's republic of china, therefore, all these segments were covered, the main one, of course, traditionally - these are food products, chicken products, beef products, dairy products, this is almost half of the entire line, a significant part of wood products, and high-tech products also come as i already said, a little higher, these are... cable products, these are insulating products, some composite things, fiberglass

products, and so on and so on, so the range is very large and it can take a long time to list what is interesting and where are the prospects, what are the joint are you already implementing projects with chinese partners, and what might still be under development? projects, uh , quite successful, i am sure they are ahead, because we are just beginning to develop active relationships, we have a large... number of investors coming to us, we have our manufacturers are very interested there, they periodically go to the people's republic of china for negotiations, probably one of the leading ones is the creation of the belarusian industry park, we, as participants, will be present in this park, this is the city of qingdawa, shandong province, we signed a memorandum. .. in cooperation with the company that created this park, this will be

one of the leading platforms from where we will distribute our belarusian and vitebsk goods, i think this is such a center of growth in the people's republic of china, our exports, which we want to use as much as possible, and not only in the sale of goods, but somewhere in some of our culinary delights , to produce food services and some restaurants, this is probably one of the freshest, most promising projects , which we are currently developing, well, in addition to economics, what other areas of cooperation are you developing with china. in addition to economic ones, we traditionally rely on, of course, the educational segment, on the scientific segment , on communication in the cultural sphere, understanding that by doing so... we are laying a solid foundation for some of our future

successful economic projects, and if maybe two years ago, we were active only in the field of student education, university education, and were only approaching some then joint scientific developments, research , now we are more actively going not only to universities, but to schools, to preschool education, we... are exploring the possibility of implementing some projects in the biotological direction, in the field, then i understand that those guys who are growing up... who are just getting their first experience, getting their profession, and maybe even just choosing it, in communication with their colleagues from china, will lay a solid foundation precisely on a personal level, which will contribute to the development of various caliber of projects in the future, so we are working very actively with three provinces, in these areas

in the field of education, science, cultural exchange, well, exhibitions like this, they once again give impetus to development in informal communication and not only in commercial, but to an understanding of each other’s mentality and culture, which only increases the effectiveness of subsequent economic projects. what other areas of growth do you see in cooperation with china? in general, what are the prospects? the prospects are enormous due to the fact that the market is very large in china, the market is large and for the economy, i think it is even too large, so all the goods we produce can be successfully sold by us in the people's republic of china, we are also working on this to make it more efficient , use it all, but you already know, it’s gratifying to note that all negotiations,

all projects go beyond the sale of buying something, that is, we are moving to the next level - this is the exchange of technologies, assistance in refining technologies, assistance in some kind of research , assistance in the development of new types of products, that is, we go a little further than sales, but we are moving precisely to the level of attracting investors to us, investing some of our own funds in chinese territory, new technologies and new approaches in general to conducting... commercial activities, i think this is gratifying to notice, and this is the main point of growth, which , again, will naturally lead to an increase in revenue from exports and everything else, and traditionally, as in the first question, in the previous question we noted, this is a dense

cooperation in the field of education, in the field of culture, in the field of tourism, here we are also, by the way, approaching, we are studying the mentality of the chinese tourist and determining what is more interesting to them and what approaches would be more comfortable for them when they come to relax or improve their health on to our country and for this we are already slightly changing our holiday homes, our recreation centers, our tourist infrastructure, that is, this is also a huge classer, which we can still say have not used at all, but this is of genuine interest to... the chinese our colleagues, and i think this is also one of the promising growth points, especially in the vitev region. thank you, chairman of the vitebsk regional executive committee alexander subbotin answered the program’s questions. next in the event program is a pilot project in the field of healthcare, regional selections to the slavic bazaar competitions in vitebsk and the first ever belarusian women's

hockey championship. we'll be back at the studio in a few minutes. this is the events program for belarus 24 and we continue. another group of donbass children arrived in belarus for rest and recovery. where did the guys come from and what program was prepared for them? let's ask our columnist svetlana chernova. the children came from mariupol and to kuchaevsk in a group of 47 people. participants of the charity project live in a children's rehabilitation and health center brest region. the program includes therapeutic procedures, excursions, sports and entertainment games. we are proud that today we are expanding the border; the brest region is already accepting children. this group will go exactly there, to our best children's health centers, where specialists will work with them, we must introduce them to our native belarus, help them

in every possible way, show them what the hospitable belarusian people are. let me remind you, the first autumn group. we have been accepting children from donbass to belarus in september for the second year now. for that more than 3,000 children from zaporozhye, mariupol, and donetsk have improved their health in our country. a new pilot project is being implemented in the healthcare sector. how will this help improve the work of doctors? a special program translates speech into a text document on a computer. the first to test the system were doctors from the mogilev regional clinical hospital. previously, the system was such that we dictated, created an audio file, and we sent it to our dictation center. and the employees listened to it, then they printed it, and then you sit and correct it, and so it turns out that in real time you dictate yourself, the text is immediately reproduced, starting from the examination of the patient, which is done, dictated, then from the diaries the description, when in the ward is not independently connected to the computer, the doctor can look at the patient immediately for himself, say, make

voice notes, that come out, they can be corrected, writing operations, big, interesting ideas, while such a system is being tested in four departments of the hospital, if successful , city and regional medical institutions will take it up, in november, regional selections for the competitions of the international arts festival, the slavic bazaar in vitebsk start in belarus, how to get to the audition? citizens of our country from 8 to 14 years old can apply, including for the children's competition and from 18 to 31 years old for the competition of pop singers. for potential representatives from belarus , it is important to have experience in concert performances and a portfolio of winning international and national projects. the battle for a ticket to vitebsk will begin in mogilev, the regional selection will take place in the palace of culture of region 21 november. on november 30, applicants from the minsk region will be determined. the audition will take place in the nezvizh regional cultural center. during the first ten days of december, the qualifying round will be held by the remaining regions. minsk will look at the talented on december 11. the competition will take place in

the upper town concert hall. the final of the national selection, where representatives of belarus will be determined at the slavic bazaar in vitebsk, will take place in march. let me remind you that the thirty- second arts festival marked belarus with high awards in both children's and adult competitions. samir took the first prize yalchiev and sofia rustamova. a historic step in development. the first women's championship of the country has started in belarus, we are waiting for details, three teams have been organized to participate in the league, the teams are formed on a geographical basis: hockey players at least 12 years old were allowed to compete, according to the tournament regulations, in the regular season the girls will spend four weeks of competition, the first started on small olympic arena, one more is planned for the winter and two for the spring. each team will play 16 matches, and then two the best squads will enter the final series, where the champions of belarus will be determined. if in regular hockey a match lasts three periods of 20 minutes of pure time, then while in our women’s league the third periods last 15 minutes in total, this means that the girls

will play without whistle breaks. the number of girls in hockey is constantly increasing, if two seasons ago there were about 60 girls, then after a season there were almost twice as many, about 110, in the absence of, let’s say, prospects, they usually stopped playing hockey, therefore, it was important for us... to start even with such a young composition of participants, in order to give them the opportunity to already play at a more or less organized level and so that they do not leave hockey, there is a concept that was developed before the twenty- eighth year, the plans for the participation of the women's team in the olympics, in the world championships, in order to participate in these competitions, we need to hold our own internal championship, naturally, we will start from the lowest division, so we have a long way to go... on this path we will ready. in total , over a hundred girls play hockey in belarus; as for other countries, competition in the world is high. there are already seven divisions on the planetary forum.

for example, teams from serbia, bosnia and herzegovina, israel, estonia and iran are fighting in the lower level. the elite team consists of russia, the usa, canada, finland and switzerland. it is in the best division that belarus strives to play and the creation of a women's hockey league should help implement this plan. thank you, the review was prepared by svetlana chernova. belarus is again becoming a platform that this time unites cultural figures. there are only a few days left until the opening of the minsk international film festival. viewers will see dozens of the best films from around the world. how was the selection of competition works carried out, which films should you pay attention to? let's ask elena turova, program director of the listopadik competition, and tatyana komanova, program director of the feature film competition. hello ladies. how many applications have been submitted to the competition this year? well, this year a record number of film applications were submitted for the entire competition: more than

2,000 from 107 countries, and if we take into account weight categories, then perhaps the largest number of applications came for young cinema, more than 700, and i think this is very cool, because young cinema has returned to us this year , taking into account even the slogan of this festival that we are creating the future, i think this is kind of even symbolic. this is a recent trend , i mean exactly this kind of excitement within the framework of young cinema, well, young cinema is our future, this is our prospects, i think it’s very cool and it’s timely for us you need to look at the future. looking at geography, which countries are participating this year? well, i would probably say that only antarctica did not receive applications, and that’s probably because they don’t make films there . speaking about the main competition, i won’t give numbers, but this year we had 40 people per place, you can imagine the scale of the competition, many countries submitted

applications. even when looking through them sometimes, i involuntarily glanced at the map, thinking, my god, are they really there, they know what we have here? there is such an important festival for us, and this is actually very important and interesting, a huge number of applications this year were from asian countries, and i noticed that we had three leaders in terms of the number of applications, iran, pakistan, and india, and each of these countries presented more films this year than russia, in the gaming competition , so the trend was, i think that our viewers will be surprised and pleasantly intrigued by those repertoires, those films that will be in the main competition, and not only mostly, is there still interest in this competition in europe and america? yes, of course, america, latin america, northern and european countries also submitted applications, i can’t say that there was any kind of blockade

or what. we were somehow deprived of attention this year, anyway, a film festival is a creative competition, it is an opportunity to show your latest works to colleagues, and here i think politics or some other force does not come into play, after all, creative contact - this is a very important story for filmmakers, that is, this is leaf fall - this is one of the few cases when culture is actually outside of politics, this is a vivid example, absolutely true, and then you understand, elena viktorovna will not let me lie as a director, in the theater it is very simple: you come to hall, you sit down quietly, listen to the breathing of the audience, see the reaction, in cinema, directors, actors are usually limited by the screen, they do not know what is happening on the other side, how their work is perceived, film festivals are a unique opportunity to hear the breathing of the audience, to hear the reaction of your colleagues, this is very important, then where will these meetings take place and where will it be possible to get acquainted with the films

? well, the festival is presented... in the four main cinemas of the capital of belarus, these are the central cinema cinema house cinema, belarus and pioneer, but after and during the festival there will be screenings in the regions of belarus, so our more distant viewers will not be left out either. i understand that it is difficult to talk about all the films that will be shown, but if several of these highlights highlight, maybe just those that... these are the templates, well, i would suggest highlighting the main highlight, which elena viktorovna , due to her involvement, will probably say modestly, this is our film from the belarus film studio, the debut work of a young film director, a graduate of the academy of arts, who distributed the film to belarus and who managed to make his debut in a year and a half, these are filmmakers, the film is such an internal

creative dedication to us cinema yes, plus timed to coincide with the centenary of cinema, which we will celebrate next year, there is something very good there, let’s say, greetings were conveyed from the younger generation to the generation of classics, i think that the audience will notice and appreciate it, the film would be made, the youth cinema division, the belarus film studio, the film will be released, and we hope that this will be a good gift for the audience, both festival spectators and just spectators, belarus and not only that, i hope that this film will have a good distribution and festival fate, so i think that this film will have its own kind of a highlight of the young cinema competition, where it is actually presented, in addition, belarusian films are presented in the competition animation program, the non-fiction film program, so you spoke at the beginning of our interview about breaking these patterns, territorial, probably geographical, what patterns will we break, well, probably

this year for the first time, i’m not afraid of such a word in the entire history of leaf fall, there will be a very clear turn towards asia and asian films will be presented, probably, well, half of the competition poster, exactly what are they talking about? in fact , modern cinema is all about people and experiences. and
