and the theme of our program today will be union.tate council of the union state of belarus and russia on the agenda included issues of integration interaction, not only minsk and moscow are closely cooperating in a variety of areas, the results are impressive about the achievements of the plans, we will tell you in more detail in our story. a meeting of the supreme state council of the union state was held in st. petersburg, and the presidents of belarus and russia arrived at the konstantinovsky palace together. vladimir putin is driving. problems and work on the asian continent, especially in africa, where we are called, a whole range of issues from south to north. according to the results of 11 months of last year, trade turnover between the two countries increased by almost 9.5%. and this is under conditions of sanctions pressure on belarus and russia. special attention was paid to discussing the assessment of the implementation of twenty-eight union programs. within the framework of the union state , legal and organizational fou

i don't support any other union than the teamsters union. that's why, the next several weeks, several months, we will be doing that due diligence. we can revisit that question. there is no doubt about there's union support for president trump. and there is always union support for president biden. regardless, president biden has done a lot of good work for union members. he fixed 300 pension funds that were on the verge of being insolvent, created a lot of jobs, chips act a lot of issues , important to us. but what i've stated before, what you have done in the past doesn't guarantee us a future with us. are you going to support our issues in our time of need? are you going to step up and do" what's right by working people in the country? >> you endorsed biden in august of 2021. do you -- >> historically, theandidates have endorsed after their respective conventions. we've got a great executive board. the faster we get president biden in here and the more questions we get answered from both candidates with strong commitments, the endorsement

main directions of activity of the union state for 2024.ters roman golovchenko and mikhail mishustin, deputy prime ministers alexei averchuk and nikolai snapkov reported at a meeting of the supreme state council last monday. and therefore why do experts, good ones, not very deep, large-scale ones, or people who are just entering this expert meeting, try to ask us questions, linking operational ones. avoiding the formation of barriers and transition to a barrier-free environment for the supply of components from russia to belarus and from belarus to russia. a lot has been done, but it is not at all this means that this is a response to western pressure, an accounting, yes, a forecast of the situation, yes, but strategically, everything is fundamental. over the centuries, russia and belarus have passed the test of time, the most important exam that the peoples of belarus and russia, the peoples of the soviet union, passed. the so-called assembly shop, because the level of education of people who worked primarily in the production sector was v

there is the experience of the european union. this integration is much larger and deeper than the level of integration achieved by the union treaty. and if today we really, without any exaggeration, are talking about good relations between belarus and russia, we are not talking about this as part of the framework. response to sanctions pressure the west, to reproaches from them, but as an understanding that we are making each other stronger, this means that there can be no talk of any threat to the independence, sovereignty of belarus, there are many people who spoke about this insincerely, as if buying either a plastic alarm bell or a drink there, wanting first of all to promote himself more. why worry about your native belarus, about your little birth, these people may have slowed down at some stages that real economic integration, which is absolutely without threatening the sovereignty of the national structure of belarus, it would make our union stronger , but now we see that we are catching up, but at the same time , no one

a meeting of the supreme state council of the union was held in st.sburg state, the presidents of belarus and russia arrived together at the konstantinovsky palace. vladimir putin is driving, alexander lukashenko is in the passenger seat next to him. the main topic of the supreme state council, of course , is cooperation between belarus and russia, improving transportation logistics, deepening import substitution, and not only what else the heads of state talked about, we worked closely for 2 days, one might say, two days, moved smoothly into the third day, discussed we are economic problems and work. at a meeting of the supreme state council of the head states also sat shoulder to shoulder, which once again emphasizes the countries’ friendly relations and close cooperation. the belarusian and russian media pay a lot of attention to him, and a union media holding will soon appear. a unified coordinated policy will be ensured by two weekly newspapers, a weekly magazine and a television channel. i think if we create a normal media holding taking into ac

and the topic of our program today will be the union state of belarus and russia. was full of suffering, but and of course, the desire for high goals, as from a project that at the first stage few believed, considered a round dance on the island of the ussr, yet it turned out to be integration that actually works in the interests of the two peoples, we will discuss today, vadim franzovich is taking part in today’s program guegen, general director of the national library of belarus, chairman of the board of the belarusian knowledge society, hello, hello! dmitry aleksandrovich egorchenkov, political scientist, director of the institute for strategic research and forecasts ruden. hello hello. and also joining our broadcast is natalya yurievna nikanorova, a deputy of the parliamentary assembly of the union of belarus of russia, a member of the federation council of the federal assembly of russia. good afternoon. according to tradition, we begin our discussion with a flash question, today it reads as follows: can a union state grow a new one? union state of belarus and

the image of the european union is unmistakable.nother dutchman is maarten woltering, with an alternative approach. saving farmers is the business of the farmers themselves. this is detrimental to the fight to save the climate, and we are only wasting time. swiss. ramses is a recognizable image of the french president macron, the drawing is called angry tractors, a figurative presentation of information. let's continue the theme of france. slovakian marian kamensky does not reduce the intensity of the struggle. farmer protests against the backdrop of paris. on the tank it is written: macron. and she herself is an outcast the woman pushing the tractor is marine lepin. another work by the wicked dutchman ep bertrams. this is about the situation as a whole. say, the drawing is entitled, explosive atmosphere, we would say the situation is heating up, in germany they started saying that the country is losing competitiveness, urgent measures are needed, what are the causes of the crisis in the most economically powerful country in europe?

because of the recent military action of the soviet union. now, as during the last three and a half decades, the relationship between country, the united of america and the soviet union is the most critical factor in determining whether the world will live at peace or be engulfed in global conflict. since end of the second world war, america has led other in meeting the challenge of mounting soviet power. this has not been a simple or static between. there has been cooperation there has been competition and at times there has been confrontation in 1940s, we took the lead in creating the atlantic alliance in response to the soviet union's suppression and then consolidation of its east european empire and resulting threat of the warsaw pact to western europe. in the 1950s. we helped to contain further soviet challenges in korea and in the middle east, and we reformed to assure the continuation of our containment in the 1960s. we the soviet challenges in berlin and we faced the cuban crisis and we sought to engage the soviet union in the importa

as it was ending, a shooting at union station or west of union station near the garage there.nd quickly and get out of the area. and also to avoid that garage area because they were using that to treat people. sojust because they were using that to treat people. so just to be clear, these are pictures from just a little earlier at the end of the kansas city chiefs victory parade after winning the super bowl. it had finished and people largely believe in the area but as you can see if there was still a lot of people they are trying to get home, trying to get on their way when shots were fired west of union station. let's take you back to the live pictures now and give you a sense of what's happening right now so this is kansas city, missouri in the us. clearly on a scale of this kind of event, a victory parade for the kansas city chiefs winning the super bowl, there were lots of security personnel there and lots of emergency services there and lots of health professionals. as it was finishing, people leaving, police say it shots fired, some people were struck and we don't know

and look, i don't represent any other unions, but the teamsters union. that is why in the next several weeks, several months, we will be doing their due diligence and we can revisit that question. there's no there's no doubt about there is union support for president trump. and there's of all always union support for president biden. look, regardless, president biden has done a lot of good work for union members and he fixed 300 pension funds that were on the verge of being insolvent, create a lot of jobs, chip stock and a lot of issues that are important to us. but like i've stated before. what you've done in the past doesn't guarantee you a future with us. we want to know what you going to do for our members moving forward. you're going to support our issues and in time of need, you're going to step up and do what's right by working people in this country. you endorsed in august 2020. do you think that's the same that historically the teamsters have always endorsed candidates after their respective conventions? we've got a great executive board. the fa

of the african union. at the level of the presidents of the continent, the closing ceremony is going to be held with their presence. this alliance was not accepted because the zionists intended to use these meetings to express their views about gaza and the gaza war. we know that the 37th summit of the african union first started on wednesday at the level of foreign ministers and then yesterday and today at the level of presidents. as i said, today is the closing ceremony. and it has been before. first, let's see a report about this. africans, who have been victims of colonialism for years , have not forgotten palestine these days despite severe financial and security crises. this is the example. four months ago, when south africa learned from the zionist regime's genocide in gaza the hague court appealed. or a year ago, when a zionist delegation tried to enter the african union meeting with fake id numbers, but the africans kicked them out. this issue was repeated again this year and the zionist delegatio

the european union is undoubtedly united in its desire to help ukraine. well prepared, that is, these 26. decisions, i am talking about the hungarian prime minister, who is still sometimes looking for others , has also become part of this single community. at the previous eu summit, hungary blocked the allocation of aid to ukraine, during this meeting she was able to add her word to the final declaration. now the eu will annually approve budget payments to ukraine. based on the report of the european commission on kiev’s fulfillment of brussels’ conditions, including the fight against. with corruption, despite the impressive amount announced in brussels, funding from the west has still decreased by one and a half times compared to last year. now the assistance program provides that the european commission will give kiev 33 billion euros in loan, and 17 billion in the form of grants, that is , free of charge. i am grateful for your decision on a financial instrument for us. this is a clear signal that ukraine will stand and that europe will stand. optimist

we must treat hungarians like any other member of the european union to the union, it is fair to applyures to them. and the rules of the game, but on the issues of the rule of law, corruption and above all on the issue of the russian war in ukraine, there should not be any compromises, there is no middle way, you are either on the side of ukraine against russia in this war, or you are on the side of russia, and viktor orban has to make this choice, well, here i want to applaud mr. donald tusk, really, what compromises, these compromises were constantly pushed by viktor. orban, then robert fitso, something to him sang along, what compromises can be in this case, when it comes to helping ukraine in its fight against russian aggression, when it comes, in particular, to the security of the whole of europe, and donald tusk clearly said: viktor orban, choose, are you on the side of ukraine or russia? fortunately, well, i wouldn't say that viktor orban is on the side of ukraine, but still, fortunately, the decision today is the way we would like it. mother, we have this help which is extremel

his fight for union in italy resonated with those in the north fighting for union in america. but garibaldi was a looming presence in southern media. and for this study, georgia media in particular even prior to the election of 1860 and would remain a presence in the public white southern mind as and tucker has explained white southerners who sought to virginia mize the new nation they were creating hope itself comparisons with garibaldi and his nationalism strength to their case for independent nation. would that presence, however, existed on a decided arc as the tumult of 1860 gave way in the united states to the election of lincoln and in italy, to national unification in newspapers, in georgia interpreted garibaldi as avatar of southern aims, and possibly cities, italian unity was a model for american disunity after the war began, overtures by northern representatives to garibaldi began to sever those metaphorical ties which completely snapped upon the italian leaders vocal, though never support for anti slavery war aims beginning in april of 1860, georgian newspapers bega

all these funds will be provided from the budget of the european union. it is also important that the document closes. eu leaders say that revenues from frozen russian funds on the territory of the european union can be used to help ukraine, and this means that this process is also ongoing, and soon there will be news about russian frozen assets, as well as how the ukrainian fund ukraine facility is working, it will work, you can say according to the money -in-exchange-for-reform scheme, ukraine, together with... the european commission, must develop a reform plan and, following it, implement it within four years, receiving certain financial tranches in each period of time. the european commission will report on ukraine's fulfillment of the commitments made during the signing of the reform plan, and what is important, despite the fact that the prime minister. hungary's viktor orbán tried to ensure that every year it was possible to revise the ukrainian plan and it is possible to suspend it and promise again, then this will not happen, the first revision o

soviet union, make it one of the culprits.his policy has been carried out for quite a long time, it did not begin yesterday, not a year ago, in 1941, by which time a plan for an attack on the soviet union, the so-called barbarossa plan, had already been developed. this was done back in december 1940 in order... suggests that the military actions were planned in advance, the attack on the soviet union is not any kind of preventive, let's say, strike like this subsequently they tried to explain at the nurburg trials, and this was a clearly pre-planned operation of the forces of the german wehrmacht to seize the territory of the soviet union, well, the ost plan, which also... was for the further colonization of the occupied territories, the territory of the soviet union, where specific figures for destruction were outlined civilian population, using the economic potential of the occupied territories, using labor, and so on and so forth. in the future, well, it should also be noted here that exactly this front of the soviet union,

, weakened the european union’s sanctions, at the same time, this week the european union makes a decisionut additional assistance to ukraine, what does this mean, well, this is not help, it’s very expensive, but that’s not the point, the point is that europe continues to shoot itself in the foot destroy yourself, why? yes, because it is not sovereign. now we return to this topic of sovereignty: the european union lies at the feet of the white house, at this time the europeans arrived on tractors. look, they are real europeans, listen, and i saw, but for some reason they are hiding from the common people, from their own people, listen, they have surrounded themselves with a fence, barbed wire, and why is it difficult to go out or something, to talk, but what are you doing from the people? hiding , hiding there, sitting in their offices, you understand, i’m quoting them in the twentieth year, ivan mikhailovich, there is no one there to go out to the people, unfortunately, because negative political selection has been carried out, and there are clerk managers sitting there. worked to block t

, the soviet union went much further.. it extends to metallurgy and energy, agriculture. and the fishing fleet, it rises from such simple forms as trade to the cooperation of production and the coordination of national economic plans. the famous book-house on moscow's new arbat was then the headquarters of the council for mutual economic assistance, seva, the economic bloc of the socialist camp, the core of which was naturally the soviet union. cuba entered it in the north just in the early seventies. this. there was a time when most of the cuban debt was written off, it is associated with the construction of such areas as allamar, sanagustin, this is the moment when we really just began to solve the housing problem, the work of soviet specialists in housing construction. the complex is so huge that it is simply impossible to take in it at one glance, but there is a model, and near it we are talking with the director of this refinery. instinctively this project seems soviet to me, it is, it is 100% soviet, and this is the

russia, under the name of the soviet union, thus returned to its historical territory. in the great patriotic war, as we say, this is the second world war, all these territories were finally assigned to russia, to the soviet union. and poland, as compensation, so it must be assumed, received western ones. the original german territories are the western eastern part of germany, part of the lands, this is the west. which until now, which until now did not exist at all, while stalin insisted that these republics that were being formed should be included as autonomous entities, but for some reason the founder of the soviet state, lenin, insisted that so that they had the right to secede from the soviet union, and also, for unknown reasons, endowed the emerging soviet ukraine with lands in which people lived in these territories, even if they had never been called ukraine before, for some reason during the formation all this was merged into the ukrainian the ussr, including everything along the black sea coast, which was obtained during the time of catherine ii, actually nev

it not only said unions could organize, but it said we should encourage the union movement.says one other thing, when the president of the united states is given money by the united states congress to spend, whether an aircraft carrier or any public event, they should do two things. one, this is what the law says, one, they should hire american workers. [applause] two, they should use. and you can make an exception, if you do not have you could hire somebody else, but guess what? for the longest time, we did not pay attention to it. i pay attention to it. that is why we are growing. made in america, by americans, and that is why we are the best in the world. thank you, god bless you all. thank you, thank you, thank you.

by the way, what about the soviet union?d archival documents, behaved very honestly, and the soviet union asked for permission from poland to send its troops to help czechoslovakia, but through the mouth of the then minister of foreign affairs of poland it was said that even if soviet planes flew towards czechoslovakia through the territory of poland, they they will get lost on polish territory, but it doesn’t matter, the important thing is that the war... and now poland itself has become a victim of the policy that it pursued towards czechoslovakia, because according to the well-known protocols of molotov -ribbentrop, part of these territories went to russia, including western ukraine, russia, under the name of the soviet union, thus returned to its own and historical territories, after the victory in the great patriotic war, as we say. this is the second world war, all these territories were finally assigned to russia, to the soviet union, and poland , as compensation, it must be assumed, received the western original germ

the european union takes leadership and responsibility in supporting ukraine.at stake. why is it important to pay attention to it? because on ours before our eyes an extraordinary event occurs. europe takes full responsibility for the heavy burden of continuing the armed struggle with russia. this is how this can be, given that the european union suffered most from the severance of ties with moscow. but what is the problem here, we started with a good, very good, so to speak, remark, a phrase from napoleon, there was a great commander there so many years ago in 1812, there’s no getting around it, he is considered one of the great politicians, apparently in his he was a great man at the time he clearly said that he was beginning another campaign against russia, a united europe. and we are leaving everything behind, today people of a much smaller scale, much less political opportunities, and most importantly, people who are not independent figures are trying to repeat the campaign of 1812. to my deep regret, the striking instrument of this campaign is ukraine, a

especially in new york where we have a lot of unions. had great relationships with the union. we're with sean o'bryan, as you know, fred zuckerman, terrific people, great leaders. i think we had a very productive meeting. stranger things have happened. usually a republican wouldn't get that endorsement for many, many years, they only do democrats. but in my case it's different because i've employed thousands of teamsters and i thought we should come over and pay our respects and as you know, a big part of the voting block votes for me. very big part. some people say more than 50%. nobody knows what the exact number. is some people say more than 50% of the teamsters vote for me. so we had a very, very productive meeting, i think, with a lot of teamster representatives upstairs. ok. reporter: mr. president, the teamsters said they want to sit down with nikk haley, does that signal that they believe there's still a contest? mr. trump: i don't know if they're going to meet with her, she's at i think 12%, there was a poll today, it was 88-12. if they want to waste their time they c

especially for union square. you think about macy's. >> born and raised in the city, sophia has fallen holiday memories at macy's with the store the backdrop to countless parades and celebrations for 100 years. >> christmas time , it was always filled up. felt like new york almost. >> the impending closure will impact 500 jobs, but it will not happen overnight, it is estimated to take a few years to identify a buyer, union square emphasizes that will be a macy's great tree in 2024. still sophia says it will be hard to not have the familiar accessibility to the iconic store she has known and loved. >> when i was little me and my mom will come shopping on the weekend. and then go to cheesecake factory and walk around. cannot do that anymore. not much to look at, unless you have money for the designer stores. not a lot of people have the money. >> sophia feels like a lot of her peers have turned to online shopping and she is worried about unhoused individuals nearby. as a san francisco native she continues hope. >>

union parliamentarians worked in minsk this week.ng the key topics are projects for the preservation of historical memory, issues of the development of orthodox culture and spiritual and moral values. and here are a few quotes about the main thing. this is a cultural education event that is very important. well, in today's realities, in today's conditions of geopolitical redistribution of influence in the world, to preserve the patriotic spirit, to preserve historical and cultural values , and most importantly - this is so that, first of all, the youth of our countries not only get acquainted with the history, heritage, culture of our fraternal slavic peoples, but also get acquainted with each other and create these, probably without anything comparable bridges. the main task facing the culture of the union state is the revival of the culture of our people, a single people, from the loop, for me there is absolutely no division, russians, ukrainians, belarusians, myself, my ancestors from ukraine, this is what to do next, what needs t

unions certainly at the top. and i, i think i mean messaging is always very difficult in my from my perspective for liberals and democrats because we have a tendency i think to take every issue and kind of explore it and make it about a lot of. so it's very difficult, i think for democrats particular to distill things to talking points, to distill issues, to talking points. case in point, you and i've been talking for an hour, but i hope that the messaging gets out. you're right, biden is the most pro-union president that we seen probably since bill johnson. i say. and that is reflected in the the power of organizers. get people to start thinking about unionizing because they have support at the very top. that hasn't been easy to to reconfigure the nation to support the courts and the nation to rise up to to support collective bargaining. but i think there's so demand for it that moving whoever is in power will absolutely have to support and not just, you know, talking the talk, but really walking the walk and st

shots were fired west of union station. this is at the very end of the kansas city chiefs parade and the ongoing rally after where you see the players getting up on stage, taking about their feelings, talking about what it means to do it for this city. you know, we know at 3:07 eastern and 2:07 local time that kansas city police said that they were trying to determine exactly how many victims that they had. i should mention -- i want to circle back. about open carry or carrying a firearm in missouri. under missouri law, it's not a crime to open carry a weapon in to my place where concealed carry is prohibited except for a church, school, bus or on to the grounds of a school function. i don't believe any of these would fall under that. they might have had some sort of law set up for a big parade. you have to imagine, all of these people coming in to an area, all crammed together. you can't search every single person. you don't know who has what. a nightmare scenario for all the first responders and the fans just trying to en

is becoming similar to the tragic the fate of the soviet union.e world will follow a different scenario, because now the same brix, it is already beginning to determine, as it were , a strategy for the economic development of civilization as a whole of the planet, no longer a final forum, but some kind of brix meeting, which , for example, this year it will be held in russia, but it’s interesting, pay attention to how everything was thought out, we also now have great strategies, when we felt with the countries. brix, what an influence in the world increased, they began to make such forward political moves, please note, it was not russia that should have led brix this year, but at the very moment when they were trying to make russia an outcast, babriks’ colleagues suggested, let’s russia at this moment gather a dozen countries, and as always, 30-40 supporting countries will come there, gather in the person of leaders, and we will discuss the fate of the world, by the way, what... interesting things will happen this year, and these are just these g
