economic news, konstantin churikov joins me. konstantin, good morning, a new record has been set for mortgages in russia. yes, raman, hello, experts say that there is a rush before the increase in the key rate and the down payment. so, a new record the issuance of mortgages in russia will be established as a result of the end of this year. this year, according to experts from the acro rating agency, over 10 months the volume of the mortgage portfolio in russia increased by 25% or by 3.5 trillion rubles. for the entire twenty-second year the figure was 2 trillion, a year earlier it was 2.5, in the twentieth year it was even less -700 billion. the agency noted that by buying real estate people protected their savings from inflation and turned them into square meters. in addition, recently... russia has sought purchase a home before the next increase in interest rates and the minimum

down payment. the russian civil aircraft industry will continue to increase production volumes. next year it is planned to produce about twenty dry superjets and six new ms-21 aircraft. deputy prime minister and head of the ministry of industry and trade denis manturov spoke about this in an interview with the host of the vesti nedeli program dmitry kiselyov. according to him, a parallel legendary council is being created. modification with added power, which today can

primarily carry out freight transportation. as the deputy prime minister noted, if interest in the liner continues, the design will be finalized. from his point of view, it makes the most sense to install two engines instead of the current four, that is, one per wing. the engine must be suitable for both cargo and passenger aircraft. problems for both shippers and consumers, the new year will start with higher freight rates. the alternative route around africa is +1014 travel days, which has already led to a surge in freight rates, something that hasn’t happened since the pandemic. delivery of one standard container from the shipping leader maersk immediately became $700 more expensive. indexation can be expected for tankers; experts note that this will hit europe, which depends on

middle eastern energy resources, the most painfully. the weather also brings instability to maritime transport in europe; due to a storm off the coast of denmark, a bulk carrier from the same company, majersk, lost 46 containers with goods. the shipping company reported this. some of the contents have already been thrown onto danish coast. there is scattering along the fourteen-kilometer beach. thousands of boots, as well as medical equipment and small wheels for carts. let me remind you that last week a strong storm hit northern europe, because of which all protections were even closed in the netherlands. barriers, for the second time in the history of the country. and at the end of the issue about currencies, the dollar today costs 91 rubles 93 kopecks. the euro exchange rate is 101.28. and that 's all i have for now. novel. konstantin, thank you. immediately after the advertisement to the latest reports and the situation in the red sea, shelling of ships heading to israel. all

wounded civilians. the serbian authorities thanked the russian intelligence services for the warning. riots, thanks to this the protests were suppressed. the rallies have begun the day before, a thousand people gathered in the center of belgrade, several buildings were damaged, about 40 demonstrators were detained. unilateral expansion of the us borders in the arctic is unacceptable; all measures will be taken to protect russian interests in this zone. this is how moscow responded to washington’s claims. the united states claims part of the arctic shelf rich in fossils. to the losers of the year according to the fox news channel, this choice was explained by the low rating of the us president, the threat of impeachment and the case of possible corruption. american the ship fired on a houthi aircraft in the red sea. one of the shells exploded next to a ship sailing from a russian

port. this was reported by a representative of the movement. with details anna voronina. no ships, no goods, no profit, three more. look for yourself, it’s empty here, there’s nothing left because of geopolitical problems, we have nothing to do here either. the reason is the houthi attacks, while some companies keep ships in ports, others change the route, choosing a longer route, bypassing africa, which inevitably affects the speed of deliveries, yes to increased transportation costs. the red sea is not getting any safer yet. the sea is fundamentally unsafe, there is already enough risk, sailors are worried about not sinking, running aground, not getting caught in a hurricane or typhoon, and now there is added danger and... and the houthis also have the ability to control from a distance boats and boats that are stuffed with explosives

like drones, so that the danger at sea has increased three times, if not more. and the yemeni houthi movement continues to attack, two oil companies were hit tanker in the red sea, according to the us navy. in washington, in order to hide its responsibility for the worsening situation in the region, they decided to find someone to blame, and since... the accusations are flying towards tehran. we know that iran has been actively involved in planning operations against commercial shipping in the red sea. this is consistent with iran's long-term material support for encouraging houthi destabilizing activities in the region. this is an international challenge that requires a collective response. but washington's allies they are in no hurry to rush to help. for example, france, spain and italy have declared that their warships are under us command. will be handed over. madrid completely vetoed the participation of the european union in the naval operation against the kussites, although a little later it lifted it with the caveat that spain

would not take part in this operation. the spanish ministry of defense said that in order to achieve maximum effectiveness in the red sea, it is necessary to create a new and specific mission with its own means and objectives, agreed with the relevant authorities european union. spain does not oppose its creation in any way, but accepts it itself. the united states , the netherlands, denmark and norway refused to send their warships to fight the houthis, and following the example of australia, they will send only a few specialists to the us command center in bahrain; it seems that the states should not count on much help in resolving the issue of attacks in the red sea. measures to defend their own interests in the arctic, stated the head of the federation council committee on international affairs grigory karasin. he commented on the expansion american continental shelf limits.

according to karasin, washington's actions do not create territorial disputes with russia, but will require a settlement with canada and japan. the head of the duma committee on the arctic, nikolai kharitonov, is confident that unilateral expansion of us borders in the arctic zone is unacceptable. kharitonov recalled how russia proves. its right to participate in the shelf area, launched a scientific apparatus, conducted research, all in accordance with international law. let me remind you, on the eve of the us announced claims to part of the continental shelf in the arctic and bering sea. we are talking about an area of ​​1 million square km. this is an area rich in mineral resources. most of the deposits have not yet been explored. the states base their claims on the rules of the un convention on the law of the sea. that's just washington to her. didn't join. more than half of the new us territorial claims concern shelfak north of alaska. there , washington will first of all argue with

ottawa, but the wishes of the states will also extend over almost 180 thousand km of the bering sea bottom between alaska and russia. our country’s application for 1,700 thousand km of continental shelf in the arctic ocean is confirmed by fundamental scientific research. its legality is recognized by the un commission on the limits of the continental shelf in accordance with the 1982 un convention on the law of the sea. moscow has not ratified the 1990 us agreement on dividing the boundaries of the economic zone in the beling strait, bering and chakota seas. the distinction is implemented in the following way: called a temporary regime, which can be canceled by the state duma of the russian federation, especially taking into account new american claims.

so, with a score of 5:2, they beat chinese star in the regular season match of the continental hockey league, and this game will go down in khl history. 2018 olympic champion ilya kovalchuk played his first match in the khl for spartak and threw the puck into an empty net a minute before the final series. ford is a graduate of the red and white, in early december he signed a contract with the capital club until the end current season. moscow team forward nikolai goldobin broke the club record for the most points scored in one regular season. general kgl table.

four matches took place in the vtb united league. enissey defeated nizhny novgorod 82-61. avtodor beat astana on its home floor 84-75 and pushed the kazakh team into eleventh place in the standings. unik took revenge for his defeat in the first round in samara. kazan won at home 81:61. the key to it was the super-aggressive defense of kazantsev, so much so that unix updated their anti-record of the season for... gaining 30 of them, but such defense bore fruit, during the second and third quarters of the match kostya were able to score only one field goal. by the end of the third quarter , a unique situation arose when samara scored more points from the free throw line than from the field. unix won their 14th win in a row this season and took second place in the standings. in the main match of the week, lokomotiv kuban defeated zenit 93:73. the key to victory was the kuban team's play under

the opponent's hoop. and locomotive players converted 70% of two-point shots in the game, and the main striking force of the team was andrei martyuk, who scored 32 points for the match and converted 14 out of 15 shots from the field. martyuk had the most productive game of his career, he is the eighth russian in the history of the league who managed to score 30 points in a match. lokomotiv won their thirteenth victory of the season and caught up with zenid in the standings. two-time olympic champion and snowboarder vic wild will refuse to participate in the 2026 games in italy if he... want to represent russia. let me remind you, december 8 the international olympic committee decided to admit russian and belarusian athletes to the 24th summer olympics in paris in a neutral status. they will be prohibited from demonstrating any connection with their countries by national sports organizations. the decision on the participation of russian athletes in the 26th olympics has not yet been made. no, i'm not going to ride in neutral status. i will only compete for russia. what are the chances, it is

not up to me, but i believe that... there are very high chances of winning a big number of medals, the russian team will beat everyone in milan in 2 years. three-time olympic champion alexander bulshenov won the skiathlon at the fourth stage of the russian cup in cross-country skiing. the competition took place in kirovo-chepetsk. this victory was bolshinov’s twelfth in a row at the russian cup stages. he was almost 5 seconds ahead of ilya semikov, who became second, and almost eight seconds ahead of savely korostylev. anastasia kuleshova won the women's skiathlon.

the game will be difficult, we are waiting for five games, beautiful volleyball. zenit turns on from the first after the same play, dynamo rolls into the game towards the middle of the game. at the end of the set, the teams are already level. the kazan people are still chewing out the enshpil, as alexey verbov will later say, for the peasant. 28:26. dynamo, moscow, zenit, kazan, classics of russian volleyball, two of the strongest teams in the country. this season they are already sharing the third russian cup trophy, the noise in the stands is making the ears pop, but on the court the best volleyball players demonstrate such a game and such emotions that it is better not to bring a match. the second batch of emotional swings, zenit with three with set points he manages to lose 30-32. dynamo in the game, the victory of the muscovites in the centenary cup is still fresh in the memory, when dynamo won

the trophy, losing 0:2. everything was decided by the third set, zenit quickly created a reserve of five goals and kept dynamo at a distance. roman romanovsky's serve to take out puts a spectacular end at 25:17. it’s a very difficult game, and they pulled out the first game by the skin of their teeth, the second was almost unlucky, but the third game is usually a turnaround, so i think in this match it also happened that after almost winning we lost the second game.
