every day we work to ensure that you receive the freshest and most useful information. the twenty-minute format allows us to tell you about what is happening in belarus and the world, take a linguistic walk in the company of our guides, find a new place on the map of belarus that is definitely worth seeing. and so ... to offer projects and films that will certainly become your favorites, this and much more, awaits you in the efir 24 on 7 project, watch on the belarus 24 tv channel, the television news agency presents in the public domain, we do not have secrets from their people. there is nothing more precious than

human life, there is nothing more terrible than the fate of the inhabitants of the village of khatyn, after the war there was no one to rebuild the huts in these villages, in memory of the villages that are no longer even on the maps, a memorial cemetery of villages was built in khatyn, people came from all over belarus, they brought. with them pain and ashes, i ask you to lay the foundation of the earth you brought, the stormy ones, for eternal storage in this kapinsky memorial. these ashes, which are carried away by the wind, were eyes, laughed and cried at times.

to avoid a terrible fate, i was helped by a simple chance. when i returned, i heard the groans and cries of those who remained here forever, in this very place. i knew that everyone remained here, mother, father, four sisters, this is for them today, yesterday tomorrow.

ksenia, good evening, good, hello, 2024, paris, you only. by the way, we came from the olympics, how can we not talk about this event with the secretary general of the national olympic committee. so, paris 2024, four medals, 17 athletes, and 2021 tokyo, seven medals and 108 athletes, that is it turns out that we are being beaten, we are flying, well, you know, of course, the final assessment will be given by the management, as you said, i just flew in, but in my... personal opinion

, the performance was successful, because, as you correctly said, there were few athletes, there were four throwers, as few as never before, yes, as never before. but also, as never before, we had a truncated list of athletes, and those athletes who went and who managed to do it, it seems to me, they showed themselves with dignity, even those guys who won fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth places, you can't say that they didn't fight and just came there as tourists, well, that is , they already entered the top eight, and even the donis entered the top eight, and... 13 athletes entered the top 10, well, that is an indicator according to olympic measures, athletes at the olympic games who are in the top 10, they, of course, are always contenders for medals, well, the president said, the more pressure they put on you,

the more resistance, yes, you can say that these medals are still in spite of, somewhere i think yes, somewhere i think that it is precisely that difficult situation in which...

we prepare for any negotiations in sports , athletes of course also undergo serious preparation for competitions and if you think about it, i understand that we come to negotiations, we have our own position, we

have a certain analysis, we are prepared, we have our theses, even if something somewhere goes wrong, you can always take a break, you can always consult, if something does not work...

in your head there is an exercise, again, again, and you lose, you think, that's it, no need, i don't want to, i don't want to do this exercise in my sleep, please, stop, but you still do it, somewhere a ball accidentally rolls out there, for example, i was afraid of this most of all, because i understood that everything that flies, even if it flies a little with a mistake, you can rush to catch it, everywhere in the field of the site, but if something accidentally flies out there and goes wrong, then this scared me most of all, therefore u... in this regard, it is precisely that there is a moment of unpredictability, you have only one chance, if you make a mistake, especially in our sport, if you make a mistake, that's it, you you fly out - from the fight for medals and you have to wait for the next 4 years, in my work i know that

it’s a little bit, let’s say, not passed, let’s try differently, therefore, i probably feel a little more comfortable in terms of this moment, which i just explained to you, but again i repeat that these are completely different areas, and i get great pleasure, both being an athlete and representing my country, in... international arenas, and also working in this position and already defending it in such a political vein. well, that’s it look, ksenia, you are a medalist of the olympic games in beijing and london. yeah. honored master of sports. and what brought you to gymnastics, yes, and did not allow you to leave the sport, even after a successful career. i have loved sports since childhood. and since i started doing sports, since i was 5 years old, it is not because i myself

loved it so much, of course, my parents and my coach influenced this, who found me in kindergarten, who went to kindergartens, looked at how much there are more or less promising children, flexible, my father, an athlete, gave me, yes, my father athlete, my mother is an athlete, and my dad and i used to go to training together at the same time, he to his, i to mine, that is. we basically had a sports environment, a sports family, i grew up in a sports environment, my parents, when they got this, you know, little ticket, come to such and such an address, your daughter will try to do gymnastics, my parents were like, well, yeah, great, let's try, why not, that is, the question was not even raised, should i or shouldn't i, no, i would 100% have gone into some kind of sport, but then the opportunity came up and my parents, you could say,

in fact, the brand is top, yes, world gymnastics, this is objective, i'm not making anything up, and what was the difference between your two olympics as an athlete and the olympics as the secretary general of the notes, well, that's exactly in perception, in feelings, as the secretary general i can look at the olympics in a broader way, much more, including organizational things, yes, in general, at everything, when you are an athlete and many... who talks about this, but this is the absolute truth, here they flew from the airport - to the hotel, in this case to

the olympic village, a very strict schedule, uh, there must be maximum discipline, because you also know, someone will be late for the bus, that's it, if you use the wrong bus, for example, your car, something broke down, no one will wait for you there, you must strictly adhere to the schedule, so athletes, they come to the village, they have a training plan, lunch. training again, dinner, sleep, that's it, they don't see anything, that is, well, sometimes you manage to get out somewhere into the city on the last day, if you don't fly out right the next day, but more often than not, you leaving the country, i had the opportunity to see the olympics, other sports, olympic venues, talk to people, see what kind of teams they have, how they prepare for the olympic games, how...

you still feel, yes, when there is some kind of rejection towards you, well, really, there was nothing, and i was very happy,

especially from the first days, because in fact we were all worried about this, how we would be accepted, i didn’t want the athletes to be under even more pressure, because there is enough they have different problems, and i wanted to protect them from this, so that they could focus only on the performance, that is, as i understand it, the relationship between people, they were normal, and they remain completely normal. we are always in politics 100% between politicians basically yes absolutely yes, and that is, no one refused to go out on the same carpet there for the same training with you no no no what are you saying no well, this is for now. "hi, we are so glad to see you, how great that you came, well done and so on, when they started winning medals, then they they say: "well, guys, we've arrived, the lineup is small, we haven't performed for 2 years, the conditions are so difficult and you're performing, well, just right,

it's not for nothing that they say that normal life will still break through even through the asphalt." okay, despite the fact that we've rolled it up, but we 'll break through, so today, what's the main task of the legs, to return our athletes to the international arena, to find alternative venues, or are there any other options? we've spent these 2 years working very closely with the russian federation, with our colleagues, friends, partners, and we've often said, yes that it was a time of opportunity and we perceive it absolutely that way, because russian athletes are the best athletes in the world, we had the opportunity to compete on equal terms in some places and learn from them in others, and it seems to me that it helped us a lot and did not allow us to lose our athletic form over these 2 years to show very good

results today, including at the olympic games, but of course, it seems to me that athletes would like to reach the international level and prove that they are the best in the world, so this is the task before nokom, after all, as soon as possible to fully recover in international sports, it is worth it, because the time will come anyway when... everything will fall into place , as it should, so why not do it earlier, now, and not put it off until later, well, there is hope for los angeles 28, yes, yes, there is hope, we of course, and we are doing the work, it is too early to talk about the results, but

we are making an effort, and i can say that it is moving in a positive direction, then remind our viewers, please, the main olympic principle, and i'm not talking about faster, higher, stronger, you know, if it's about the fact that sport is not politics, then politics has always been in sport, in other areas, in culture too, so i can't say that something has changed a lot, but it's important, it seems to me, now yes...

political views, yes or religious, that it will still prevail, well, okay, hope, it still exists, and you know, i understand what you're talking about, especially about equality and tolerance regardless of eurovision, especially when, as you said,

some people can, some can't, and i too... modest, yes, to some extent, maybe you need to express your position more clearly, in some moments, but somewhere i understand that i often think about this, maybe we are too proud that we, belarusians, somehow behave in a civilized manner, always find civilized ways to beautifully declare our position, and i hope that the whole world in principle will also be able to appreciate this, notice, appreciate, and maybe... somehow agreed to continue to act like this,

naturally, i really hope so, yes, well position, but it is clear to me, yes, it is correct today, absolutely correct, well, i saw that you were watching the gymnasts' performance in the stands, yeah, yes, coach, one of the winners is germany.

the distribution of medals, so, of course, i really wanted to support them, because there is nothing worse for an athlete than watching the olympic games, in which you could have performed, in which you were ready to go and wanted to go on tv, there is nothing worse than that, and the most offensive thing is that it was not your fault, sometimes, you know, uh, you performed poorly in qualifying competition, i made a mistake myself. i didn't get in, but here you only have yourself to blame, well, this is sport, well, it didn't work out now, and here, of course, because

nothing could be done, i think our girls were doubly offended, but - i tried to support them somehow, and we talked with them, and i really liked that this situation didn't finish them off. injustice for the future, well, first of all, we haven't discussed big-time sports with her yet, we just started doing gymnastics, i already

said that i think it's cool sport for general development, yes, yes, for girls, so we are not planning yet, so right now, well, i am definitely not afraid in belarus, i am not afraid to do gymnastics, and then, you know, everything will change many times. and well, to be afraid now to send children to sports, that maybe someday there will be some injustice, well, it is definitely not worth it, in general we should not be afraid of anything, well, if we abstract, ksenia, from gymnastics, the absence of russians, belarusians affected the level of competitions, yes, where in what lost the olympics, in your opinion, i think that here is the point, that for us there were...

medals, but it was not belarusian now to think, oh, we won the olympics they got used to it in general they will not be russians, they are olympic champions, only now we know that our girls could have fought, and in 10-15 years no one will remember this at all, only specialists in this sport will know that well yes there was such a case, and then they will forget, well , well, anyway, like... legs yes you could in any case name the sports in which we did not participate, did not go, but could definitely apply, where we could still easily compete, athletics,

weightlifting, there was rowing, where? in what events could we compete in all the events that you named, we have those sports that participated, they also participated in a truncated composition, that is, these sports could have been more, wrestling could definitely compete, weightlifting definitely, and two good guys who won a license, not let's go, shooting, we also had a guy, a girl, he could fight, he was one of those who even won a license, the gymnasts could definitely fight, i...

in all our traditional sports we can always fight for medals, why is it difficult to say something more specific, i'll explain, there have been no competitions for 2 years, and if we know roughly how we can make some predictions, based on what, on previous competitions, on previous major tournaments, of course, the world championship, for example, all the strongest come there, because sometimes buying the world by some international competition... it's hard to do an analysis, because maybe not everyone came there the strongest, maybe someone is being careful, maybe someone doesn't need this start, so in principle, based on the previous world championships, one could roughly imagine that this person, he will fight and so on, okay, that's for sure, yes, the same gymnasts would probably take places on the podium, in russia, i liked the proposal that an athlete whose

results... are better than those of the olympic winner, in the next 4 years should be called winner of olympic champions, i like it like that, you have such a title, even if not officially, you know, it's all good, and i really like it, why, because their compatriots they really support their athletes, it's very important, and i also liked it so much that...

here to emphasize this directly in plain text, it 's wonderful, here they literally beat the result of the olympic champion, don't you believe that from simple ingredients you can cook something unusual blue we

will be today.

and rusham naprava v mіnule shchodraga na songs and people fell in the air, as a result of the history and myastsovaya abrads, caliss and today there are old towers here. from time to time enemies and pajars attack. darechy, i tell you, the old people know the adzin of these towers, the vartauniki watched over the inhabitants of the famous stone turkish roofs. oh, manechko, we’re in the bush with water, we’ve come in so that our daughter can get married. i take a breath from the old traditions, a new life. times with projects in advance at the last minute on tv channel belarus 244.

but what about ksenya, in such conditions, yes, not lose form and motivation, and can this be called emotional pressure on competitors, namely, when people until the very end, well, in some sports, they didn’t know until the very end whether they would go or not, you remember, first there was the number of licenses, then they cut them again, cut them, well, they started to hound letvinovich , yes, at a certain moment, that is, these things can be considered. really psychological pressure, emotional pressure, specifically to knock a person out of the rut? i don’t think that this was done specially, but definitely what you are talking about, the pressure, of course, was great and

all the athletes who had a chance to go there, there is also a very good girl in tegorya, we did not name her right away, it did not work out to go there, everyone hoped until the last, moreover, i will tell you that when the decision was already made that mm, that's it, you will not go, we do not allow you there, conditionally for some reasons, although they did not explain the reasons, our athletes still had hope, and maybe they will change their minds, because - you understand, the olympics are held once every 4 years, you can't go to them even next year, that's all, it's waiting, and it's very difficult to stay in top shape, to train, for some.

but in any case, it was all aimed at the television picture, so it was a television project, and it's probably always been like that, so those people who i thought were lucky enough to see it all with their own eyes, in fact, we saw much less than people who watched it all on television, that is, you won't have to unsee it, how can you unsee it, yes, yes, i won't have to unsee a lot of it, because i haven't even seen it, in principle i don't have any desire to rewatch it either, although

there were so many memes and various discussions that it seems to me that i've seen it all, i won't see anything new there, i've already seen it all, you know, as a summary, i 've watched it all, but if in general, let's say, about the olympic games, then of course there were very beautiful olympic facilities, yeah.

from the olympics with the past, poland never made it, because for a medal, that's the case, when it's better to have a coach. than to talk a lot, well you know, probably, in fact, that the result speaks for itself, even, probably, i don't want to spend a lot of airtime discussing her person, i know that even being at the games, that is, she found time to say all sorts of nasty things about our country, and it surprised me a little, because i think, so... you're doing well, you live in the country you wanted, you

can say how good it is for you here, why are you saying how bad it is with us, i'll say, as a non-member it was 3 years, when a person is doing well, he definitely does not say nasty things, so well, i don’t want to discuss it not because we are some kind of noble, and they are not, because it’s just not interesting, well, you yourself in the twentieth year after signing a letter of support? the country had to well catch a wave of hate, but just recently the fourth anniversary of the attempted coup d’etat passed, if all these people could see in advance what their attempts would lead to, do you think all these words from their side would be said, well, you know, i them i somehow share for myself that there are in fact people who are convinced that they are right, well... they believe in some of their ideals,

and i think that they would not change their opinion, but they are a minority, the main part, they were led by some hype, they followed some crowd, you were a little scared somewhere, they believed that a coup d'etat could happen, i think that this is precisely why they took such actions. they did something, maybe even based on their own fears, thoughts, insecurity and so on further. yes, i think that many of them now regret it, and you also know that many people admit it, yeah, so now it seems to me that again we don’t need to focus on, that’s when it was, that’s all bad, and how could they then and... what are they thinking now, we need to think about how we

can do it now so that, firstly, this doesn’t happen, focus on the future and think about what we can do for our country so that it becomes better, and so that we, including each of us in our place, don’t commit those mistakes that were possible then, so that this does not happen again, these are golden words, really, we need to think about our country first of all, the only thing, you know, a remark like this, it seems to me that when a person has ideals, yes, then they will definitely not change in one part in one day under the influence of circumstances, well, they either exist or they do not, well, it does not happen that... well, let's do it here now, yes, you're driving through minsk, you see, this is an amazing gymnastics palace, yes, well, it's really beautiful, the ice palace, cool, yes, the velodrome is magnificent, true, well, a little outside the city, the makeup channel, soon there will be a swimming pool of international standard, yes, why are we still

investing in this in such a volume, how do you explain this, probably not as a functionary, but as an athlete? and as a functionary, including, i generally believe that if the state has the time, energy and money to engage in sports culture, it is a successful country, which means that in all other respects it is doing well, then this, of course, is a good basis for the development of sports in general, as well as for holding international competitions on the territory of our country. and what can show our country from the best side better than tourists, guests, athletes, participants of events who come here, we can tell a lot about how good it is here, everything is fine there, and nothing

is happening at all, everything is calm, come and see, only when they come, they will truly understand this, therefore... of course, this, i am sure that it will pay for itself in the future, definitely, and this will be expressed not only in our victories in sports field, but also the image that our country will earn when it hosts such big events, by the way, there was a question about the world cup and the european games that we hosted and... now 5 years have passed since the olympics, but people come to us and say: oh, hello, it was great there, listen, we were at your games, how good it was there, how cool, we just remember it with such warmth, they remember the country, and the country, the games, everything that is connected with belarus, they come up to us and say it, and of course it is very nice, good,

well, i know that for some countries , the olympic games were not a priority for athletes, they have the asian games , also winter, summer, the games of the future, joint competitions with russia, recently took place, these are the venues where our athletes can now show themselves, and what can push them aside, if not the olympic games, then at least the usual european ones, than world championships, so what alternative could be interesting for us? well, you know, i probably won’t agree that the asian games are now for... many asian countries a priority, we have now seen that the olympic games today are still the main competition of the four-year period, but i agree that the asian games are held at the highest level, and this is great, great, they, we also talked to them, they have so

many of their regional competitions at different levels, from children, juniors, adult athletes and so on, they have a lot with... among themselves, and the result of this rivalry in their region bears great fruit, they performed excellently now, especially in martial arts, they have some amazing results at the olympic games, so as for us, of course, we will be happy to participate in competitions on the asian continent, if we have such an opportunity, in general, the more competitions, as a rule, it is always better.

territory, and you need to clearly understand where to go, not to get confused, somehow a lot of information comes from the outside, and you absorb it all, attention somehow dissipates a little, i was at my first games, when we were told, we will come to the olympic village, i thought that we would come to a village, that there would be cows walking around, that there would be some small houses, there yes, well, how does a village in belarus look like, i think, what kind of village is this, it doesn’t look like a village at all, that is, i think that... we are already successfully participating, we have already participated in two competitions and there are other competitions where we can

show ourselves, and i hope that god willing we will return fully to the international arena in the future, and of course we will be happy to participate in all competitions, i would even i didn't call them alternative, no, it's just an additional platform to compete in sports, well, after all...

i would definitely say thank you to the president, i'm sure that all the athletes who managed to go to the games to show themselves, they will thank him for that, the second point, why it seems to me that our president has such a position, he is an athlete himself, and he understands all this perfectly, and he understands why it was necessary, that is, he feels how important it is. of course, all athletes spend on this is life, like me, i have been studying since i was 5, this is the meaning of their life, here at one moment,

that is, they have worked for this their whole life for 15-20 years, there is nothing here, that's it, nothing happens, therefore the first thing is support , including from the president, that guys, we believe in you, go and show there in that... olympic medalists, we discussed this situation for a very long time, should we go or not, what is the position of the athletes and coaches, she said: wouldn't it be better to represent our country , to show and prove ourselves when we come to the olympic games and we win everyone there, well, when you bring gold, it’s completely without any. even before, yes, she said this before, she says, it seems to me that this will be the most

important expression of our position as a whole and to figure out how right everyone is, that is, when you, as you said, you talked about this at the very beginning, that there are a lot of restrictions, on real athletes, who are well... the strongest, it doesn’t affect anything, they come and win, and one more thing, that no matter what, this is a good negotiating platform, it’s important that about us didn't forget, because when we're gone, first, yes, we say, oh, probably there are no belarusians, russians, the second time, probably there are no belarusians, russians, then everyone gets used to the fact that they're gone, then they don't even remember that they exist, that's why it's important that we say, guys, we exist, we're here, we have... the situation is difficult for now, but it won't always be like this, get ready. ksenia, i'll ask

the last, quasi-philosophical question. the olympic organizing committee promised the athletes to replace their damaged medals. some have already said that their awards have begun to be covered with rust, well, it's really very symbolic. this is what world sport needs to do today. to get rid of metal corrosion? i think the answer is very simple: everyone just needs to do their job and make the goals of your organization a priority. the task of the international olympic movement, including the olympic games, is to unite the world through sport. the key. word unite, and this was the unofficial slogan of this olympics,

tomasakh has repeatedly spoken about this. let's give peace a chance, that's why i i hope that the international olympic committee is on the right track now. ksenia, i saw you in a completely different light today, it's true, i hope the audience saw it too. thank you, thank you for the conversation, thank you, all the best. old recipes of belarusian cuisine for modern ladies and gentlemen. everything new is well forgotten old, listen, but i can hardly imagine what this is, what kind

of dish it will be? you know, alena, i liked this recipe so much from...

to create and develop, carefully preserving traditions, in the name of a successful happy future, where everyone's contribution to the common cause is significant, and life with others in unity and love... this is true happiness, there is always the warmth of spiritual moments and familiar views, together at the same table. belarus 24 is what unites us. only by joint

efforts can peace and security on the planet be ensured, this was emphasized from the un rostrum by deputy chairman of the council of the republic sergei khamenko, speaking at the summit of the future in new york. the event took place against the backdrop of an acute geopolitical crisis modern times. it is based on the desire of individual western countries to achieve global hegemony. further unwinding of the crisis spiral could lead to a global catastrophe. how to stop negative trends in global politics and pull the world back from the brink of the abyss, belarus offers specific answers to these questions. world leaders, civil society representatives and experts gathered at the un headquarters to work on solving pressing problems, from combating rising sea levels to eliminating hunger. the forum participants intend to develop a practical plan to ensure a better future for people.
