of belarus for citizens of dozens of countries , walls are being erected on the western border, and the complaints manuals have not changed for years. for we have no unfriendly nations of secondary countries, i know that the whole world treats belarusians with humility and warmth. unfortunately, peaceful, prosperous sovereign belarus irritates some western politicians, who.

seek refuge in the european union, we do all this without anyone's help, being under the pressure of illegal sanctions. the next reason for external attacks on belarus will obviously be the presidential election campaign. this campaign of attacks on belarus has already begun. you know this. probably, already started writing drafts of high-profile plans. to overthrow the regime and ask for millions of dollars in grants for these useless goals, every 5 years they ask, i will immediately disappoint the ideological inspirers, to destabilize the situation, to plunge the country into the abyss of chaos, we have not allowed and will not allow, you will see this, our people do not need to be agitated for belarus, they understand that they themselves are, this is belarus, strong, stable...

belarus has something to offer africa, europe, the middle east, the countries of central america and the caribbean, from traditional trade and equipment supplies to the deepest cooperation, such as with china, by the way, the ambassador of this country symbolically presented the certificates today on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the prc. digitalization is an effective tool for integration. the prime minister of belarus spoke about this today in yerevan at the eurasian economic forum. of the 39 common digital processes, all five countries are connected to only twenty-one. and the exchange is only on eighteen. roman golovchenko suggests solving issues more pragmatically, choosing the main processes and concentrating on them. in recent years, we have been increasing not only the pace of work on replacing imported software, but also within the framework of the industry-wide program for the informatization

of industry, by the end of 2025, enterprises of the republic will have implemented more than 340 projects on digital development. work is underway to create a cloud-based digital form to provide information and analytical support for the management processes of the country's industrial complex. the main objective of this project is seamless integration on a single microservice digital platform of various applications. also, belarusian manufacturers in close cooperation with russian colleagues are engaged in solving a related problem, implementing developments in the field of micro and optoelectronics. at this moment, a meeting of the intergovernmental council has started in yerevan. this is in a narrow format. the prime ministers will discuss six issues face to face, and then another 16 with the heads of ministries and departments. in kazakhstan, a command and staff exercise with the csto collective peacekeeping forces, the indestructible brotherhood 2024, has started. the solemn ceremony was held at the bereg training ground.

the national contingents of belarus, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, russia and tajikistan, as well as operational groups of the joint staff of the csto secretariat, are taking part in the maneuvers. in total , more than 2.0 military personnel, 500 units of armored and automotive equipment, as well as aviation equipment and unmanned aircraft are involved in the exercise. during the maneuvers, the preparation and conduct of a peacekeeping operation by the csto collective peacekeeping forces will be practiced. a special feature of the exercise is that by joint actions, in addition to military formations, units of the internal affairs agencies, police, internal troops and national guard troops, as well as the ministry of emergency situations, are involved. the main goal is to improve the coherence of peacekeeping contingents for active and decisive actions to carry out tasks in a joint operation. at this moment , a ceremony of transfer of powers of the secretary general of the organization is taking place at nato headquarters in brussels. jens stoltenberg was replaced by former prime minister of the netherlands mark rutte. in 2010, he headed four different governments in his homeland, but in july 24, he resigned after

his coalition fell apart over differences on migration issues. rutta's candidacy for secretary general did not immediately win the approval of the alliance members, with estonia, romania, turkey, hungary and slovakia all voting against. the conversation notes that rutta is taking up his new post at a time when nato is facing a number of problems. military action in ukraine, confrontation with china. it is also noted that the alliance's relations with the european union continue complicated, and a potential trump victory in the elections will threaten the very existence of nato. lebanon is on the threshold of the most dangerous stage in its history, this is how the acting prime minister of the country commented on the actions of israel. let us recall that the idf began a ground operation against hezbollah in this country. over the past 24 hours, more than 90 people were killed and 172 were injured due to israeli strikes. about a million lebanese citizens became refugees, in connection with which beirut called on the un to urgently provide additional assistance. its participation in the united states is also taking part in the conflict. according to sky news arabia, washington has called on the lebanese army command

to agree to an unconditional ceasefire. at the same time , the white house fears retaliatory measures from iran after the idf operation began in lebanon. against this backdrop, the united states has begun to deploy forces to the middle east to contain tehran. according to the wall street journal, the iranian leadership is divided on what further action to take between a tough reaction and a restrained response for the sake of concessions from the west. if iran flares up, then everything will burn, this opinion was shared by the deputy of the house of representatives oleg gaidukevich, he noted that even if the military actions in lebanon stop today, the conflict will rage for many years. there is a great risk of iran being drawn in. today. moreover, in my opinion, iran is provoking retaliatory actions. if iran rages, the entire middle east will rage. moreover, even now, even if the ground operation ends today, if the military actions end today, it will

rage for many, many years. this is the middle east, there is no need to set fire there, whoever is interested in this is obviously the one who... has been preventing the diplomatic settlement of the palestinian-israeli conflict for many years. all the issues between the shiites and the jews, belarus, as russia said, as china said, but who prevented this from happening in the un? the americans, great britain, they do not want peace in the middle east, they have been pitting sunnis, shiites, alawites, kurds, jews against each other for decades.

back in 1922, germany refused to buy russian natural gas, and please note, cheap gas. then the experts

in the field of economics, including german ones, declared the consequences of this extremely unwise decision, but the fact remains: germany refused russian energy resources, and this is a little-little, 45% of the total import. just recently, german politicians, not without pride, declared: "we have learned to live without russian gas." yes, they buy gas today. in norway, the netherlands, belgium, somewhere they reduced their own costs, but what did this lead to? think about it, a country in which the share of industry in the ox added value is 26%, which is higher than in any other g7 country, has dealt a blow to its well-being with its own hands. minsk and nekassia are capable of restoring lost ties and forming new ones, said belarusian president alexander lukashenko, congratulating the cypriots. on independence day. i am confident that the creation of further barriers between our peoples does not meet common interests, hinders

equal dialogue and constructive interaction for the sake of strengthening the independence of both countries and improving the well-being of their citizens, the belarusian leader noted. today belarus celebrates the day of the elderly. the president sent congratulations to the citizens of the senior generation. the state always implements a comprehensive support system to improve the quality of life of this category of citizens. it includes various types of financial assistance, pensions, benefits or. all people of silver age have access to high-quality medical care, rehabilitation programs, spa treatment. particular attention is paid to education. computer literacy courses in foreign languages, creative master classes are held for pensioners. more and more elderly people are joining hobby groups. it is important to note that the number of people aged 65 and over is more than one and a half million people, which is every fifth resident of the country. at the same time, the largest number of elderly people is in the vitebsk region - 19.4%.

that they will have to be register, depending on the power and speed, this is again, also, according to the new rules, cyclists will have to dismount when crossing the road. it is planned that these changes will be implemented in practice by spring. for this, it will be necessary to prepare a certain infrastructure. more news on the first information, that's all for now, see you on the air.
