the former head of the ministry of internal affairs and his deputy were waylaid right in the palace, where the president called them. as soon as duda was distracted by a protocol meeting, his fellow party members kaminsky and vonsik were taken away under a court order. the party of law and justice hastened to convert the public’s bewilderment that this was possible into political points. so the legal squabble with competitors from the civil platform of prime minister tusk turned into a saga of prisoners with a russophobic flavor. almost 35 years ago poland regained its independence, more than three decades in no one in the country was persecuted for political reasons, there were no political prisoners until that moment. for the first time since the dark days of totalitarianism , political prisoners appeared in poland. but actually, this is how it happened. in 2015, former heads of the polish ministry of internal affairs kaminsky and wonsik were given 3 and 2 years in prison for abuse of power in the scandal with the sale of polish land. the officials staged a provocation.

another thing is that both detainees, but they, in fact, are also politicians who, apparently, have never shunned dirty methods of struggle. supporters of law and justice consider this a dishonest political case, and supporters of prime minister donald tusk believe that yes, this is a political case, but it should be brought to real imprisonment. as experts say, this is the next part of the show after the scandal. change of leadership in the media

and the exercise of polish state television and radio. meanwhile, the former head of the ministry of internal affairs of poland, mariusz kaminski, entered the image of a political prisoner and went on a hunger strike, which gave rise to a clarification of relations between opposing parties at the highest level. these are crystal honest people. i am deeply shocked that they were imprisoned despite a presidential pardon. i will not rest until minister mario shaminsky and his employee are released from prison. there are no instructions for the prime minister and the administration on how to act in such a situation. mr. president, my call to you is to stop this show of abuse of power for the private interests of convicted persons. but the most interesting thing about this performance is who benefits from it. the thing is the fact that, under much fanfare, the polish sejm did not start working after the holidays. this means that the adoption of the 2024 budget is postponed . and if it is not agreed upon by the end of january,

the defender of political prisoners, president duda , will be able to dissolve the sejm and arrange new elections, which means he will have a chance to overthrow tusk and return his party to power. it seems that the poles now do not interfere in the affairs of their neighbors. i think that we will observe everything, throughout the next year, in general, until the spring and summer of 2025, when the presidential elections will be held in poland, this battle between offices president duda is prime minister. i don’t predict an improvement in relations with russia, because the government, the president’s office, they are extremely anti-russian, this is perhaps the only topic on which they can find a common language, but in conditions of internal strife, i think that poland may have some opportunities to sue harm russian interests, so a decrease in the level of russophobia in poland is not yet expected; love for russia is perhaps the only thing on which its elites still agree since the times of valence.

olga panomareva, evgenia zemtsova, vesti. are barack and michelle obama ready to return to governing the united states? the american media are now asking similar questions, admitting that the ex-president and his wife are looking for a way to retire joe biden’s ineffective team in order to somehow at least take the vacant seats. however, the option of indirect control, in which the obama family is destined to play the role of essentially gray cardinals, looks much more realistic. prove.

well, not so long ago, as we know, it has passed even a secret meeting between biden and obama, where barack obama expressed his dissatisfaction with the course of the presidential race , advised biden to change his strategy. even tv stars, who are more accustomed to making fun of trump, but not biden, are joking about the fact that obama had to take over the tight control of the presidential campaign. it's no good when a man known for being calm and cool starts acting like i'm going crazy, joe, you should. listen to me, we need change, joe. the name obama has been heard in recent weeks aired almost as often as in 2008. this week, the former president was awarded an emmy award for his voice-over work on a documentary about the national parks. his wife michelle continues to promote her book the light

we carry. an interview about this best-selling book on resilience ultimately comes down to politics as if they'd never left the obama white house. and now i recognize the wife of the former president. political ambitions have already been seen, it was even reported about plans to make michelle obama the new vice president if the democratic candidate wins. even her prospects as the first woman in us history to hold a key position were discussed. but in the remaining months , the former president’s wife is unlikely to be able

to convert her popularity into political points. in addition, even hillary clinton, who is much more experienced in matters of governance than michelle obama, failed to become the mistress of the white house after her husband. knowing. there is very little about michelle obama in terms of international activities, that's the first thing. second, a convention, or such a conference the big one, the democratic party, will take place this august in chicago, when there will be a certain candidate from the democratic party. and before that, in general, michelle obama needs to participate in the debate, she needs to state her claims. does not try to avoid, in november she even refused to speak directly about the candidacy of joe biden, this is done by her husband barack obama, who actually removed the console from his vice president and welcomed him to the white house, today he even takes part in raising money for the election campaign of a friend and ally . and no wonder

that biden's first presidential term is called obama's third presidency, even in campaign videos the democrats do not hide who is leading in this dance. could you connect and give? $5 right now, i know joe will appreciate it. elizaetta khramtsova, anna pogonina, news. in the continental hockey league, st. petersburg ska beat podmoskovny vityaz 4:0 on the road. canadian striker brandon leipsig, who received russian citizenship by decree of vladimir putin, entered the competition as part of the winners. report by stasaltsev. in the continental hockey league the trend of new russians is gaining popularity. the phenomenon is not yet widespread, but is already manifesting itself. we have all long been accustomed to the naturalization of foreigners in football. the entry into russian citizenship of hockey legionnaires, although not new, is still a novelty. twenty-nine-year-old forward from canada, brandon leipsig takes to

the air for the first time as a russian in the match against vityaz podmoskovny. of course, it’s a coincidence, but the debut came in a game against perhaps the most russian club of the khf. previously american branan man from dynamo and canadian cameron lee from khabarovsk amur became russians, the new russian in the club, as usual in the men's team, was greeted with jokes. i don’t think it’s some kind of rite of passage, today before the game i told him at the morning story, i say, you ’re russian now, i’ll only talk to you in russian, i started, came to the game, asked

him how he slept, how he was taking a nap during the day, he was like, what are you saying, i translated for him, he says how he slept, okay, i’ll know, brandon came to russia in 2020. season played two goals for cska for magnitogorsk metallurg, this year he moved with his family to st. petersburg, the striker scored two goals for ska, although he played a little due to injuries. army men of st. petersburg in the last... i really like russian culture, i also enjoy studying the history of st. petersburg, in particular the hermitage and other museums. it was very easy for me and my family to adapt to life in russia; in hockey terms there are no differences at all. he proposed it himself, and we supported it; of course, we are very happy to have such players.

as the playoffs approach, ska begins to play with muscle, a devastating and dry victory in the moscow region is proof of this. one hundred mid-kul residents mikhail artyukhin, kiril aksyonov and karen melikyan, lead. russian pharmaceutical companies, despite sanctions, are actively developing; over the past 2 years, their share in the domestic market has increased to 69%. and yet it depends.

rustan muratov heads one of the large russian pharmaceutical companies; he is a regular guest at the international exhibition of equipment and substances, which takes place every year in moscow. for me, such exhibitions are not a question of finding something, it’s more a question of interaction with partners, because historically and now we have quite dense and close interactions with many companies, and there are for...

in the domestic market it has grown to 43% in monetary terms and to 69 , if you count in

packages. investment activity in the industry increased by a quarter, as evidenced by a study conducted by experts from the pkr agency. at the end of november , there were more than 150 projects in russia worth almost 310 billion rubles. when western companies in the twenty-second year , the promotion of their drugs stopped in a matter of months, the russians took advantage. with this pause , they began to conquer niches, this happened , for example, with eye drops, there were one or two strong players in the countries, last year russian players decided to try to be present in these segments, they literally brought them to the market at the end of last year products, this year they occupy 30-40% of the category there, well, one might say this is an unprecedented situation, after 2 years of sanctions succeeded significantly. make progress in solving two main tasks: providing the industry with equipment and pharmaceutical substances.

the international exhibition of equipment, raw materials and technologies for pharmaceutical production is being held for the twenty-fifth time, but for the first time almost 500 companies from 15 countries are taking part in it, 230 are participating for the first time.

offer something for this industry, which is so important for the country. yuri smirnov, director of the art life techno company from the kemerovo region. it produces world- class bioreactors. our company is 25 years old, we started with zero, my father started this business. then a partner from the art life company joined us, and all these years we, starting from simple imacoustic equipment, have been moving towards production. more complex reactors, machines, units, now we produce bioreactors, we can say that they are world-class, they are in demand on the russian market, and in principle abroad. in the last 2 years, demand in the domestic market has been constantly growing, says yuri smirnov,

the company is introducing additional buildings, launching new production lines, problems with components, but they were successful. the exhibition represents an engineering company that offers turnkey pharmaceutical production, from design and construction to the supply of equipment for substances. of course,

this is a complex project, and so are we. use monocrane antibodies to make the vaccine, these are medicines for the treatment of oncology and they are also used for creed therapy, many european companies have left the russian market, and china is a good partner, and

i think that china can replace all western manufacturers.

but producing them for all 450 items is not economically profitable, says rustem muratov. in russia , the substance production segment has shown double-digit growth in recent years. over the past 5 years, we

have significantly increased our capacity, including the fact that we built a new plant, and we almost doubled production volumes; now we produce almost 200 tons of products per year. the active component company was founded in 2007. now it is one of the largest manufacturers. lines and 350 employees, the number of customers is also growing, especially in the last 2 years, these include russian pharmaceutical companies and foreign partners. now we supply products to latin america through cuba, and also supply products to belarus, serbia and mongoria. according to the latest data, russian manufacturers cover about a quarter of the need for pharmaceutical substances. approximately 300 products are produced in the country, and the market...

is unpatented, but they have only just come to the point of seriously systematically developing original drugs, and original drugs in russia, of course, are mainly western transnational companies are being sold; in order to create their innovative drugs, joint efforts of science, business and government bodies are needed, says the director of the institute of translational medicine and biotechnology. systematic work is being built to form such technological chains, when research and development centers unite

together with business to create drugs, because well, we understand, in the world of creating an innovative first-in-class drug, when a new target is discovered, it may cost there two billion and even 2 and a half dollars. in recent years, the university has built the entire chain of creating drugs from molecular modeling. before clinical trials, now we are primarily a contract platform for russian pharmaceuticals, which allows russian pharmaceuticals to solve the problems that are needed in r&d, these are tests, this is the development of finished dosage forms, the development of synthesis technologies. the next stage is the creation of a line of innovative products. we gained a certain amount of credibility when we were able to come out with a number of our partners, these are leading russian pharmaceutical companies, in the creation of original products. that is, this is already a kind of apogee, when we are trying together to create truly original molecules, original drugs, knowing full well that the risks are quite high, if

20-30 of them appear there a year, russian good original drugs, this will already be a serious breakthrough, and those drugs that will, as always, treat not only our patients, but will be able to help patients in the world. if you want to some the moment to move on to any kind of innovation, and unfortunately or fortunately, the key issue for this is international development, so for us now this is probably the most important strategic problem, or rather not even a problem, but a focus. today the company biinfarm is a leader in the export of medicines, the main destinations of the cis countries. the task for the future is expansion into foreign countries. the first stage is china. for example, we opened a subsidiary in china in june of this year, we did it quite quickly in our opinion, what other countries do you are you considering exiting? all of southeast

asia, vietnam, malaysia, indonesia, thailand, philippines, china, also focusing on the gulf countries. what market share will exports occupy in the future, the share of revenue, for example, what are you striving for? well, we think that in five years it will be about a third of the company's revenue. today it’s 10%, but can domestic pharmaceuticals be trusted, and that the quality of these drugs is actually high? you know, for this you need to know the certification system for pharmaceutical production, all our production operates on the basis of gmp, these are good manufacturing practices, and the requirements for these practices are the same for foreign pharmaceutical enterprises and for domestic enterprises, but for some reason it is traditionally believed that if it is a domestic product, it is probably somewhere below the class. you know, i assure you, this is not so. the next stage should be the country’s sovereignty over vital drugs, this is one of the key tasks that are formulated in

the pharma 2030 development strategy. and you know, probably the bad thing is who does not draw conclusions from past mistakes, the most important thing here is to determine the list of those drugs that are vital in the real sense of the word, which are needed there in urgent situations, in case of any infectious processes, be it like the covid pandemic, or some man-made catastrophes, we must have a supply of antibiotics, we must have a supply of wound-healing drugs.

but dear to everyone, all of russia is before your eyes, come to the international exhibition forum russia.

dear friends, i invite you to watch repetitions. episodes of our author's program besagon tv, i hope you will remember them and enjoy them.
