this statement was made by the country's ministry of defense. a few hours remain until the start of elections for members of parliament and the head of the local administration of the chinese region. according to polls , the current deputy head of taiwan's administration, lai, is leading the race for the presidency by a small margin. the development of relations between beijing and washington as a whole will depend on the outcome of the elections in the taiwanese administration. about the chances of victory for each of the three candidates. in a report from our own correspondent in china alexander. in the semensky port this morning there are queues when the elections in taiwan are less than 24 hours before the taiwanese diaspora, and here it is the largest in mainland china, is rushing to catch the ferry that connects with the neighboring kien islands, which are only about 30 minutes away by water . tomorrow taiwanese elections, so we definitely have to get home to vote, i simply have to make my choice, because this is the choice of our future. it’s clear that they don’t talk about their political sympathies, especially on camera, but... theirs

they have already connected the future with china, which is one and only for them, because as soon as they vote, they will return to the mainland again. one country, two systems, a huge aeroglyph of this most important principle for china, was specially left here on the beach so that taiwanese compatriots on the other side of the strait could read them from here. well , it’s clear that it’s unlikely to be possible to do this from taiwan itself, after all, almost 300 km, but from the islands of dinh or kinh, easily. in taiwan itself, today is the day of silence and candidates for the post of head of the island administration are ordered to stop the campaigning and rallies of the three main contenders, leitz from the democratic progressive party, something that is actively supported by washington and whose representative is at the helm.

the elections of the head of the taiwanese administration in beijing are called regional and they say that they do not interfere in the process, demanding this from others too. we hope that the united states can strictly adhere to its promises, cease official contacts with taiwan, and stop sending the wrong signals to the separatist forces advocating the so-called independence of taiwan, and will refuse any form of interference in the election campaign in taiwan. will send a delegation to the island, this did not happen even under trump, it is unacceptable, as is the continued supply of weapons to the island,

biden said that immediately after the elections they said in beijing, adding that us actions will not stop the historical course towards the reunification of china, so semenya on street, which is so called taiwanskaya, local residents, stage of the russian cup in cross-country skiing, for the first time a federal-scale tournament is hosting a new skiing and biathlon complex mirny , president of the russian ski racing federation, elena vyalba gave an exclusive interview to our channel, in which she spoke about the new track, about alexander bolshunov, who is invincible this season, and that the main task

ski cup is taking place. the stage takes place for the first time on a new track at the mirny ski and biathlon complex in the suburbs of kazan. tell us about the opening of this route and, in general, what expectations are associated with this new point for cross-country skiing in russia. well, good afternoon, alexander, to be honest, it’s generally so rapid, i’ve just grown, one might say, in 2-3 years. center, it’s old, uh, in soviet times , they competed there, well, mostly tatarstan athletes, to be honest, athletes so surprised that we have such a wide track like here, that is, even yesterday we were able to do a warm-up there during the race in parallel for the athletes who will start a little later, i’ll put my hand on the heart of such a wide track . not anywhere in the world at all, in general

there is a feeling that we, i don’t even know, are grabbing some new breath of air every time we have new centers, tatarstan in ski racing is developing simply absolutely rapidly, it is ahead of the planet the whole, not even ahead of the russian planet, but really this world , it has ski slopes in every region, there are ski modules where people can... if anyone stayed until the evening yesterday, yesterday we had such relay races for the first time, during the russian cup, where, let’s say, the elite, yes, competed together with children from tatarstan and with amateurs on the same team, and this all took place in the evening , when all this lighting was simply turned on, because... in tatarstan everything the ski slopes are illuminated, i think he's jealous not only our country, but also many other

regions, we are a sport where, unfortunately, it gets dark early and we can no longer skate, so uh, i don’t know, i’m so happy and glad that we have a new one like this , yes, for cross-country skiing, of course , here you can not only compete, but train, the slopes are very difficult, and this makes us very happy, they have accordingly more experience, and so on, that is, we used to think that we have a robin, what do we need? - at least it closes

a little even mountain training, we have to unfortunately there is very little of it now, but there are very difficult tracks there, when we train there, it’s like we ’re blocking something like that, we’re trying, at least it’s not that we calm ourselves down, we understand that it’s all the same not mountain training, but nevertheless, even here, in reality, on a circle there , say 5 km, here you can get very drunk, as the athletes say. that is, you must correctly, as they say, distribute your forces in order to understand where and how to start correctly and, accordingly, in order to reach the finish line in the best possible condition. how they say, positions, because yesterday ’s performance of alexander, who was not even a leader from the start, ended up winning there by more than 40 seconds, i think this speaks of his professionalism and just about the fact that guys, you need to think with your head, the leader of the season alexander blushanov, a three-time olympic champion on a unique winning streak, he has 13 victories in thirteen races within the russian cup,

for you personally this is the dominance of one athlete, how do you assess this in principle for... for our domestic russian is this good or still not very good? what can i say? it means that when there is a leader , if he proves his leadership every day, this is actually very cool, firstly, so that other athletes are also drawn to him, i cannot say that he has no competition, some races are given to him very very hard and he doesn’t win by 40 seconds, but sasha never gives up on races, he always strives, and if sasha goes to the start, he always wants... to be first, and i think that’s huge an example for everyone else, but when there is a leader, people still follow him, there are always those who will try to overtake and bite and so on, well, plus we see that sazh does not win so easily in sprints either, there are athletes who can, as they say, and seriously bite, you personally understand what needs to happen this

season so that alexander bulshinov does not win the race, but i’m just the opposite thinking about how cool it would be if... sasha won all stages of the russian cup with taking into account the fact that he competes in all competitions, and for women we have let’s say veronica misses some sprints there, yes, and sasha goes all out, and i think that would be cool, you know, we also like to count all the time, and do some things, that year there were so many , and here there are so many, and if he won all the stages of the russian cup, it seems to me that this is uh, maybe we even established some kind of cash prize, elena varenevna, regarding competition, just recently on the internet it was very your quote was widely circulated, saying that you don’t follow the stages of the world cup, that you didn’t watch and didn’t you know the winners of the last world championship, considering that we have been suspended from international competitions for more than a season, is it important for us now to understand what point we are at, what level we have, what level, conditionally, is the norwegian, swedish, finnish athletes, well , due to the fact that i

don’t really follow these competitions, i don’t know who were the world champions last year, who won the world cup, of course i can guess something there, but really i... i don't, i don't need it, because we are in this kind of sport, where it is impossible to compare, we are not athletics, where you can compare in seconds, yes , who is really the best today, and there we are not chess, we are not swimming, where you can compare, we are a sport from which, well, every day everything absolutely different, the weather there is different, the tracks are different, yes, and so on, the snow is different, we practically do not compete on artificial snow, what happens in europe, there in scandinavia, that’s it. uh, but i ’m sure that we are not losing ground at all, that’s absolutely certain, because we are training very seriously, we are preparing for the olympic games, whether they are coming or in another 4 years, it doesn’t matter, we must prepare for them, and as an athlete you don’t really need to think about anything else right now, in order to keep yourself in good shape, you must have the highest goal ,

the highest goal, of course , for any athlete is the olympic games, so you need to think about it and train in time for this. but do you have some kind of inner feeling about how the situation will develop by the olympics in milan in 2026? no, i'm actually not talking about that at all. i don’t think so, i haven’t even been paying attention to what bach says lately, because he somehow bangs one thing, then tomorrow bangs another, the day after tomorrow bangs another, and it seems to me that they, well, it’s as if they want to completely erase russia of all that is possible, sports, culture and... and so on, but i am sure that sooner or later it will all end anyway, and although not, you know, weak people, which i consider them to be, will not have the courage apologize to us, but they will simply open the doors for us, where we will certainly be invited, as they say, and we will enter these doors, the main thing is that we do it all with dignity, and dignity for an athlete is a good

result, so we need to work hard and not think about anything, that’s all. a traditional multi-day race took place recently. dyski , again, a quote from the swedish skier kali halverson, i think that’s his name, was actively spreading on the russian internet, who said that tour skiing was boring, including because there were no russians, it’s clear that this is a private opinion, about that too yuri borodav said, but you again, there is a feeling that this is a private opinion, but in fact in the skiing world many people adhere to it, you know, the whole point is that when there are no strongest people it’s always sad, this is actually the case today, both women’s and

... so i think that the opinion of the swedish skier is just an absolutely thinking person, not only about today, but also about the future, because yes, it’s certainly good for an athlete, there is no leader, you can win somewhere there , by the way, i don’t know who won the tourdas and in general i don’t care it’s interesting, but all i can say is that somewhere out there some new athletes appear only because the competition isn’t the same, and there’s something else, maybe yesterday’s leader... could have gotten sick, this also happens , someone didn’t come there or or some different situations, but in general , interest in sports, in skiing, is lost very much, and we just

have contact with fis, maybe not so much, but we we have all the information from them, no one took us out of this family, and we, as a matter of fact, received even there, yes, how much views were on television and so on, we see that they are simply losing colossally, accordingly. in money too, and sports where russia was dominant or had very serious ones, as they say , you know, how interesting it was for everyone to watch the norwegian-russian battles, and this is what people were most interested in, now these battles do not exist. elena varelyevna, in russia skiing is traditionally one of the most popular sports, not only winter ones, do you have some objective indicators, some data, which speaks to the level of popularity of cross-country skiing, because obviously after pyeongchang, after. beijing - interest in ski racing has grown very much, well, you know, for me, for me, sasha, for me it’s possible, yes, sasha, for me, the most important indicator

is more and more children in children’s sports schools, everyone else indicators for me are kind of secondary, i understand that yes, we are not always shown on tv, people are not very happy with this, but we also try, we grow, we go out there on some internet sites. we try to show all the competitions, by the way, many people use these internet platforms and say why do we need tv at all, that is , as always, people have different opinions, but for me the most important indicator is that every year we have more and more more children are involved in cross-country skiing, so i think we are on the right track. in the last couple of years, almost all sports have begun to come up with new formats in order to make the calendar interesting, so that the fans were interested, the athletes weren’t bored, do you have any now? attention, what other formats, what other competitions can be introduced into cross-country skiing? well, you know, taking into account the fact that we are, after all, an organization

that should be involved, well, of course, in general , with the development of the sport in the country, yes, but i must first of all think, of course, about the national team about the athletes who, like me i already said, we are preparing for the olympic games, all this is wonderful, there were some competitions like yesterday, yes this is such small... show, it must fit into some kind of calendar and so on, but most importantly, we must hold competitions exactly according to the program that we will have at the olympic games, to be honest, it is crazy, and for me now it’s a big discovery that when i was a member of the fis council, when i voted against what happened, and how is it, when they combined women’s and men’s distances for us, that is, they cut off 10 from the men

. by the time they hit fifty, no one can stand it, no, yes, everything is fine, now i hear, norwegian skiers, but don’t want to run 50 km , swedish skiers, who originally started all this because of them, don’t want to run 50 km, they think that it was wrong, it was a mistake, but they have already included it in the world championship program , the olympic games , isn’t this stupidity in general, i think yes, some kind of shows, we have a race there easily, there is also some kind of show and there is sports...

after the olympic games in sochi we somehow that's what we call winter roads, we have a general chat where all winter sports, not only which are part of...

they said the other day we are going on a mission, so we are preparing, we are going through everything, the work is very hard, the work is combat, when we are already going on a mission, snipers are covering the lines from where it can go to waste, i received a summons, i am in 2 i was already at the military registration and enlistment office for an hour, they took reconnaissance, they asked will you go, i said i’ll go, we plowed this land in exercises, gained a lot of experience. i ask you to remember the holy commandment of a scout, he himself is dying, i am helping out a comrade, there is a task, which means that it must be completed, we must go, we must do it.
