in belgorod, at these moments, they are helping the wounded during the brutal shelling of the city by the ukrainian armed forces. the militants fired rockets from multiple launch rocket systems at civilians. a private house was destroyed, one person was killed, four were injured, including a ten-year-old child. doctors assess his condition as moderate. in addition, 10 more buildings, several cars were damaged, and there were interruptions in the water supply. the ministry of defense, in turn , reports: our air defense destroyed 13 over the belgorod region.

rockets. there were explosions again in ukraine last night. reports from authorities and journalists come from several regions of the country at once, khmelnitsky, kharkov regions; in kherson, controlled by the kiev regime, four series of explosions were counted in one day. the air raid alarm was heard in eight regions of ukraine. the kiev regime is calculating the damage from the previous attack the day before. she has become one of the strongest in recent times. rionovosti with reference to the coordinators of the ukrainian sub-cole. report: missiles also hit military factories in kharkov and kiev, an air defense crew in odessa and the armed forces arsenal near the city. attacks were also carried out on mercenary bases in lviv and the lviv region. on the border of the dpr and the zaporozhye region, russian tankers destroyed the positions of the ukrainian armed forces, including a strong point. these days, taking into account the weather, the role of attack armored vehicles has increased significantly. vehicles can overcome muddy roads and reach advantageous firing lines. but. the enemy threw all his strength

into hunting for our tanks. vgtrk military correspondent eduard punigov will tell you how the crew operates in such conditions. the tank crews of the thirty-sixth army of the vostok group had just returned from a combat mission and did not even have time to wash off the dirt. just half an hour ago they were on the verge of life and death. they rolled out for the harvest. they told me, the commander said: watch out for the enemies. i saw manpower, said about it , the commander ordered fire, i fired, one, the second loaded, shoot, the third, while loading, flew towards us on the starboard side, that’s all, my system failed, and the commander decided to roll back, here is footage of this battle, the border of zaporozhye and donetsk people's republic, tankers are conducting aimed fire at the enemy, the positions of the ukrainian armed forces are directly visible. the shot, having hit the target, the crew

immediately leaves the shooting point, in the sky enemy drones are hunting for our armored vehicles, it’s hard, but we’re still coping, as if there’s mud everywhere now , it’s hard to travel, especially when we’re working, when we’re going into a rollback, most of the time it’s hard when we’re rolling back , in this case we drive through this mud and the tank also gets a little tired, heats up, left, right, i leave the position, and leave at maximum speed, and also i turn on tda, a thermal curtain called tda, when we roll back they launch it there so that we won’t be detected. smoke protection repeatedly saved the lives of the crew; additional protection against cumulative shells was also installed along the perimeter of the body. the weather on the southern donetsk front is getting worse and worse every day, the fog is constantly clearing, and of course, in such conditions, the tank becomes the key strike unit, the crew. this t-72b3

is operating in close proximity to the line of combat contact in the area of ​​​​the village of urozhainoye and is now preparing for another combat trip. the goal is an enemy stronghold. the tank operator-gunner with the call sign bero worked as an assistant train driver before the special operation. i came here as a volunteer and signed a contract. the guys explain it, they taught it very clearly, understandably and as if they were good specialists. now they have turned me into specialists, as it were. from straight to otki we are working in a closed firing position, as if they had taught us, this crew has already knocked out dozens of targets, including western equipment, the fighters are not going to stop there, their task is to help our assault troops units to gain a foothold on the southern donetsk front. eduard punigov, alexander botkin, lead the south donetsk direction. a special gift has been prepared for the residents for the upcoming holidays. the national police warned that

a walk on new year's eve could end in a military registration and enlistment office, and from there on the road to the front. they decided not to lift the curfew, violators will be detained even at christmas trees, mobilization in ukraine has been going on for a long time, and the holiday will not change the situation, very soon even disabled people will be sent to the front line, the new law eliminates the deferment for them. russia will not comment on the missile incident in poland until evidence is presented, stated charge d'affaires of russia andrei ordash. previously, he was called to the polish foreign ministry. warsaw said the unidentified object that violated the country's airspace on friday was a russian missile, but provided no evidence. however, after a meeting between president duda and the heads of the security bloc , it became clear that the alerted planes were unable to shoot her down. in serbia,

opposition supporters set up tents in the center of belgrade; the blockade of streets, according to protesters, will last for 24 hours. at night , flags of the european union and euromaidan were spotted in the tent city. according to local media, demonstrators are demanding the annulment of the results of the last parliamentary elections, where the coalition of current president aleksandar vucic won. let me remind you that, by decision of the local election commission, re-elections will be held today in twenty-eight polling stations in serbia, but the serbia against violence party, which is supported by demonstrators, refused to participate in them. the moscow region is flooded with rain, the thermometers show above-zero temperatures, and this is on the eve of a new one. year, whether the weather will change in the next 24 hours, and what to expect on new year's eve, which regions will be shackled by frost, which regions will begin to thaw, vadim zavodchenkov will tell you. the heavenly office kept the intrigue until the very end, so what kind of weather to expect for

the new year, rains and thaws or frosts and snowfalls, we will talk about this in the next 20 minutes, here are some other topics we will touch on: cold, damp sensation. complete hopelessness the weather will help the dryers to celebrate the holiday in a special atmosphere. by the way, why are ukrainian trenches so different from ours? the hegemon found the bottom. the americans announced the appropriation of a million square kilometers of shelf space in the arctic. where do such appetites come from and how legitimate are the territorial claims of the united states? and neurosecs got to weather forecasts. can artificial intelligence revolutionize meteorology? you are watching the main weather program, i’m vadim zavodchenkov, hello! forecasts for the new year have changed right up to the very last days of december, and the weather fever, which turned into storms,

blizzards and freezing rains in different regions of the country, only fueled the main intrigue: what kind of weather will surprise russians in the first days of the new year? orenburg region, in the south of the urals a blizzard was raging, in orenburg itself, in just 12 hours , almost a quarter of the monthly

moisture norm fell at the local weather station, sometimes, by the way, the precipitation turned into rain, because the temperature rose to +1°. the most difficult situation on regional highways, freight traffic transport had to be limited to... to ufa and saratov. in those areas of the southern urals where the snowstorms stopped, a winter rainbow and sunshine were observed on friday. at the same time , the temperature began to drop, and residents of the sverdlovsk region and perm region encountered the same optical effect that usually appears in frosty weather. there, in the morning, the air in some places cooled down to -24-26, in omsk and... on the eve of the new year, skating rinks, slides and ice towns were closed. utility workers had to remove the steel water from the roadway, and to do this they used equipment that, as a rule, is used only in the warm season. only the south of european russia remained relatively calm and warm weather oases.

in crimea, kuban and other southern regions , before new year's eve, flowers bloomed and green leaves appeared on the trees. such unusual weather. conditions were provoked by a powerful flow of atlantic heat making its way deep into the continent. as a result , in most regions of russia, the end of the outgoing year turned out to be warmer. climate, and the most significant anomalies were recorded in traditionally cold regions in the urals and siberia. here, the thermometer rose 10-15° above normal, and in some places records of maximum temperature were even recorded. the atlantic conveyor could only be stopped by a blocking anticyclone near the borders of eastern siberia. by the way, it was he who caused the frenzy of forecasts. on... new year's day, this block was supposed to be broken, and it was assumed that this would happen in

the southern part, where the not so cold, and therefore heavy, air was concentrated, but something happened that could not be calculated supercomputers, the energy impulse of the cyclones was enough to push into the arctic, ochak, which enclosed its region in the yakut cold, and hence the fragment of the icy anticyclone. began to make his way to the west, trying to freeze the russian plain. on new year's eve the temperature here is extremely contrasting. in the epicenter of stuzha, north-northeast of european russia, in some places the thermometers are below -30-35. in the northwest, thanks to the proximity to the baltic sea, frosts are noticeably weaker, down to -10-15. in the center the night temperature is -1-6, in thaw zone. only the lower volga, don, southern regions and the black earth region. during the subsequent

new year holidays, weather contrasts will continue. almost the entire northern half of the russian plain will be covered by an anticyclone, so abnormal frosts will hit here mainly without precipitation. but the southern part of the region will be protected by cyclones, bringing with them clouds, precipitation and warmer air masses. having gained a foothold in southern russia, the atlantic warmth. during the holidays will try to make its way to the north of the country, for example, in central russia in the coming days the frosts will only get worse, already after january 2 in moscow in the morning the thermometers will show -20-23, at noon only -15-18 only on the eve of christmas the sky will be covered with fields of snow clouds , powerful warming will begin in the afternoon on january 7 to -2.

cyclones raged all week in the northern military district zone , the weather, let’s say, was downright severe, rains turning into sleet, impassable mud, piercing icy winds, all this, of course, could not but affect the morale of the already demoralized armed forces officers, especially considering how inhuman conditions prevail in the ukrainian positions, but so what? for gifts, in quotes, of course, the heavenly office is preparing for the enemy for the new year, let’s ask military meteorologist evgeniy teshkovets. evgeniy, what are your forecasts? vadim, they definitely can’t count on a festive atmosphere at krovayaki’s. the weather in the nwo zone was difficult for almost the entire month of december. the ukrainian trenches quickly sank into the mud along with their inhabitants. frontline hospitals are overcrowded. in addition to injuries, dryers suffered massive hypothermia and...

technicians stuck in the mud - light target for artillery. for example, ukrainian militants are unsuccessfully trying to pull out polish-made saokrab from the donbass black soil. on the other hand, when there were frosts in the donbass, the ground turned into some kind of concrete, and to dig trenches it was necessary to pick up not a shovel, but an ax. we are cutting down the earth, so if there are any vacancies, you can come. compared to ukrainian ones. the russian trench looks like a real work of art, there are drainage systems

, wooden flooring, even there is a russian bathhouse, everything is neat and thought out, why can’t ukrainian militants do the same at home? they probably don't see the point in this. the commanders of the armed forces of ukraine understand perfectly well that ukrainian soldiers live on the front line for 3-4 days, so they can sit in the mud for a while, but then, why equip trenches if tomorrow they will be under control. russian army, but the money allocated for their arrangement can, in the end, be put into your pocket. judging by the forecasts, ukrainian militants will have to flounder in the trenches mud in the first days of january. already on the second of the month, the north atlantic cyclone attacks the north atlantic cyclone. flash rains will add another 5 liters of water per square meter of already waterlogged black soil. well, on january 3 , another unfavorable weather factor will be added to the intense precipitation - wind, gusts of which will reach 10-15 m/s. such weather conditions impose restrictions on

the use of unmanned aerial vehicles with guided munitions. i must say that for the armed forces of ukraine this is... the weather is even favorable to some extent, you can always blame it on it your failures. on other topics, the americans decided to grab a huge piece of the continental shelf in the arctic, no more, no less, 1 million km of seabed. what motivated the united states for such a hasty expansion of the shelf’s borders and how such machinations are consistent with. we will tell you about international law in our material. arbitrariness on an unprecedented scale. the united states announced the expansion of the continental shelf in the pacific and atlantic oceans, the bering sea, the gulf of mexico in the arctic , a total area of ​​about million square kilometers, that is, as two states of california. the us state department

emphasized that the continental shelf is a continuation of the country's land territory and does not cause territorial problems. disputes with russia, however, to resolve possible issues, washington plans to hold negotiations with canada, japan and the bahamas. the united states simply comes and says that you know, this is now ours, because we want it so, that is, in this regard, they act as such a legal nihilist in the international international relations, and pointedly ignore the interests of even their closest neighbor canada. according to the established procedure, before declaring any territory part of the continental shelf, the state... the americans claim that they have been collecting data for as long as 20 years, but they cannot share it with the commission because they have not ratified the convention on the law of the sea. in fact, states are being asked to take their word for it. others, including in our own country, may complain that borders states are expanding without consideration by the un commission on the limits of the continental shelf. but

since our maritime borders with russia and canada are quite well coordinated, the us claims to expand. are convincing until someone with rights and reputation challenges them. the first attempts to delimit the shelf were made 65 years ago, after the adoption of the geneva convention. then they agreed to limit the shelf to areas of the bottom no deeper than 200 m. after the advent of technologies that made it possible to extract natural resources from greater depths, we decided to adjust the criteria. now the boundaries of the shelf or exclusive economic zone extend up to 200 miles from the coast of the country, or further, if up to... the connection of the bottom areas with the main part of the mainland, these restrictions were enshrined in the un convention on the law of the sea in 1982, it was ratified and russia and the european union, another one and a half hundred states, but did not sign the united states, years of exploration of the arctic, study of underwater soil, analyzes of crustal movements and even the development of a geodynamic model that

describes the evolution of the lithosphere over the past 60 million years, all this titanic work ... awaited russia's submission of an application to determine and expand the boundaries of the shelf. thanks to her, we received the right to plant the russian flag on the lomanosov ridge. apparently, our achievements in the arctic pushed the united states to hasty action. this step, if you look at it from an economic point of view, is probably a kind of foundation for decades to come to ensure the potential for strategic superiority or strategic advantages for the united states in these territories for decades. forward. according to bloomberg, the declared areas of the continental shelf contain a huge amount of important resources for industry. in addition to large reserves of oil and gas, the volumes of which have yet to be clarified, there are about 50 different minerals, including rare and extremely in demand in microelectronics lithium, used in energy and automobile production telurium, and this is not counting sixteen rare earth minerals

elements. true, there is one thing: extracting resources offshore is very expensive and very difficult, but one thing. this will become technologically possible and economically profitable; the americans are already trying to stake out the rights to the tasty morsels of the arctic. of the ten major scientific breakthroughs of 2023, two are related to weather and climate. the list of scientific achievements was published by science magazine in december. in an honorable second place were studies confirming the weakening of the atlantic meridional overturning circulation, the very one due to which stop the golf stream, and mots - this is a system of surface and deep ocean currents in the atlantic ocean. in the surface layer, well -warmed water spreads from the equator to

the pole, where this flow, cooling, descends to depth and returns back to low latitudes. let me give you a striking example: part of it is the gulf stream; the important role of this mechanism in the planet’s climate immediately becomes clear. the flow system provides the supply. a quarter of the total heat received by the northern hemisphere. on the other hand, sea water is the most important carbon dioxide sink, capturing about 700 million tons of carbon annually. and now scientists have established that due to the melting of sea ice and desalination of the ocean, the overturning mechanism is disrupted, so that in the coming years the circulation system may not... associated with artificial intelligence,

neural networks managed to predict the weather, or rather the most advanced hydrodynamic models, whether machine learning will change weather forecasting forever, let’s ask pavel toropov. pavel, a neural network is coming revolution in meteorology? vadim, two of the strongest scientific publications on the topic of artificiality. which came out in 2023 really turned out to be revolutionary. what is the essence of the breakthrough? nowadays , supercomputers are needed to produce a high-quality weather forecast. to correctly calculate how atmospheric processes will develop, enormous computing power is required. after all, a huge number of parameters are loaded into the forecast model, and satellites play an important role in modern weather forecasts. without them, the quality of the forecast would have sank by half, rolling back half a century. the main problem. weather forecasting is the limit of predictability of atmospheric processes. this was pointed out by the outstanding geophysicist, mathematician and meteorologist edward lorrens in the middle of the last century. a physically based weather forecast cannot be made

for more than 2-3 weeks. and this is a very complex computational task that requires supercomputer technology. only developed, rich countries can afford such things. to improve the accuracy of forecasts , so-called ensemble calculations are needed, then there is a whole family of prognostic procedures. which is extremely expensive, this is where the revolutionary idea of ​​using artificial intelligence arose. it is noteworthy that the first weather forecasts using a neural network were made not by scientists, but by teams from the largest transnational corporations, google and huawei. now we understand that there is a new method based on such statistical models, in fact , machine learning methods, artificial intelligence, are essentially statistical models, they use a large number, a very large amount of data. this method actually turns out to be not only competitive, but it turns out to be more effective. experts used the results of calculations of the european

center for medium-range weather forecasts model for 50 years around the globe. this is a huge amount of data and subjected it to unprecedented statistical analysis. it turned out that with such a gigantic volume of information, a new computer program can, figuratively speaking, be taught to make a weather forecast based on... existing information. moreover, the forecast turned out to be even slightly better than that of the model on the results of which naroset was trained. however, despite the revolutionary development, classical numerical weather forecast models will still remain in the arsenal of meteorologists and climatologists, and will undoubtedly be needed. it would be a mistake to think that we can now discard all the models and weather forecasts that were considered and are now being considered online every day, yes, discard them. replacing them here with artificial intelligence is an illusion, if you read these are the same articles in science nature, then you will be convinced that the authors themselves admit that these

results that they obtained would have been impossible if not for the physical models, why? because this is the very data on which these neural networks are trained, this is not just measurement data, these neural networks were trained on the so-called reanalysis, reanalysis is some kind of mixture of yes... how did the sun surprise astrophysicists in the outgoing year and will our star reach its maximum cycle in the coming year. results sunny.

activity for 2023, 12 outbreaks of higher points, that is, on average, one per month, 360 weaker class m flares. a year earlier, there were half as many such events. statistics objectively confirm the increase in solar activity. as for magnetic storms, which are of interest to many, there were 40 days with magnetic storms this year, that is, approximately, well, somewhere around one storm in about tier 7 for 10 days. we had the largest storms, as i... said in march and april, that is, these were the largest storms of this year and this cycle at the moment, that is there have been no major events since then. throughout the year, the sun gave out rather contradictory signals. the year began very stormy, already in february the largest flare in many years occurred, and in march-april there were large magnetic storms. and there was a feeling that the sun was almost at its peak, but from the beginning of may the activity began to fade and in the summer it went almost to zero. at the same

time, the number of sunspots increased, some of them reached enormous sizes, to the point that the peak values ​​of the previous cycle were broken. however, these the records did not lead to an increase in outbreaks; by the end of summer, almost all of the spots had completely collapsed. the second burst of activity began in september and lasted for almost a month. and again the sun, having exhausted its energy, went into hibernation, although not for such a long time. the end of the year we met with a new increase in solar activity, the largest outbreak in history occurred...

the new year holidays are predicted to be calm in terms of solar activity, without magnetic storms, the situation will change only in the second half of january. that's all, enjoy the weather, whatever it may be, goodbye! it is getting better and better, up to 16% per annum on deposits, the best interest rate in savings. a deposit with a favorable rate, place it literally with one button in the mobile application in sberbank with prime, it’s more profitable, pay less, candy, bird’s milk 1290, pyaterochka helps out. polisorp is always with you against poisoning, allergies, hangovers, it’s time to drink polysorp.
