in st. petersburg there was a major fire at the wilburys warehouse. the head of the investigative committee, alexander bastrykin, ordered to initiate a criminal case into the incident. the area engulfed in fire reached 70,000 m2. later decreased to 4.0. this was reported to the ministry of emergency situations. rescuers have been at the scene since saturday morning. the roof of the building collapsed. when the fire first began to spread, more than a thousand people were at work. they all made it. the fire destroyed goods worth many

billions of rubles. the amount of damage is only to be installed. rospotrebnadzor said that the fire did not lead to air pollution. the acquisition of a russian pensioner from latvia violates human rights and is aimed at intimidating russian-speaking residents of the republic. this is how our foreign ministry commented on the deportation of boris katkov. at 82, after 60 years of living in latvia, he was recognized as a threat to the national security of this baltic country. deported without trial within 24 hours, now the pensioner has decided to return to kaliningrad, where he is from, a report by alexey ankudinov, expelled from latvia boris katkov is greeted at the kaliningrad khrabrovo airport, exactly 60 years ago i entered this land, as a young lieutenant and served here ... 57 years, served in the army, then

was engaged in public activities, this week the eighty-two-year-old pensioner was officially declared a threat national security, the police broke into his home and gave him just an hour to get ready. i worked for 25 years, there were no complaints, i was not involved in politics at all, suddenly i receive a letter, the same as the one he received. will answer compromising questions, whose crimea, whether you support or not, the man was deported to russia virtually without trial. boris katkov crossed the border with the pskov region, and from there he flew to kaliningrad. i have many latvians who sympathize, who worry, who know that such a regime was established with the permission of western structures that are suppressing everything, suppressing russian culture, suppressing the russian language.

old people are forced to take exams that go to the store and home, to the store and home. in recent years, boris katkov has helped our compatriots abroad, heading the russian-latvian cooperation association and representative office of the baltic federal university. thanks to his assistance, hundreds of students from latvia were able to receive higher education in russian . provided advice and assistance.

industrial complex of ukraine, the ministry of defense reported, the targets were enterprises producing drone ammunition. this morning, the armed forces of the russian federation carried out a group strike with long-range, high-precision weapons, naval, air-based, including the kenjal hypersonic missile system, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles at ukrainian military-industrial complex manufacturing facilities.

sounds came to the window, a moment later an explosion thundered, and here i didn’t have time to get scared, everything happened quickly, it was hard for everyone, especially for those who were wounded. by a lucky coincidence, the window near which alexander ivanovich stood survived, like most residents; in the man’s apartment, half of the balcony was blown away. towards recovery the contracting organization started immediately. now the glazing in the houses has been completed, the thermal circuit has been closed, and it has been decided to re-floor the damaged roof. here , about 150 m2 of glazing has been replaced in all three houses, these are balconies, access windows and just windows in the houses , regarding the roofing, the total roof area on the three houses is almost 1,800 square meters, each house, well, this one is a little more than 643 square meters, that one is 620 , on the night of january 4-5

, as a result of shelling from the ukrainian armed forces , three apartment buildings were damaged on makarenka street. home, knocked out by a blast wave balconies and windows from the first to the eleventh floors, the main impact fell on the parking lot, a crater formed in the asphalt, more than thirty cars were cut and smashed. the examination of vehicles damaged during shelling will last until january 15; some owners have already received payments; in total, a total of 600 vehicles were damaged in belgorod. work to repair glass balconies in public areas on makarenko street continues. alina silina denis. dolkov, vesti belgorod. well, the newly appointed minister of foreign affairs visited kiev on saturday affairs of france. he is also the so-called civil partner of the french prime minister, stéphane sijournet. moreover, this is his first foreign visit in his new post. sijournet promised the ukrainians that paris would continue

to cooperate with them in the defense sector. this includes localization and the creation of joint production facilities in ukraine. he discussed, however, without specifics, the supply of air defense systems that kiev is asking for. and he stated that. ukraine, quote: still a priority for paris, despite difficult times. and just while the head of the french foreign ministry was meeting with the ukrainian leadership and made his statements in kiev, a sewer system burst in the capital square again, and in the same place as a week ago. the city authorities confirmed that due to the accident , two houses were cut off from power supply, and specialists are working on the spot. the situation with the repeated sewerage break, as noted by local residents, not only creates inconvenience, but also poses a threat to others. local media report that agricultural workers managed to break through police cordons in the city of suceava. the reason for the blockade is the demand for a ban on the import of ukrainian grain. the demonstrators

demand that the government increase the amount of subsidies and increase assistance to the agricultural sector of romania, and generally pay less attention to ukraine. and this is against the backdrop of ongoing protests in dozens of people. in germany, farmers blocked town squares and major highways for the sixth day in a row, and staged demonstrations and went on strike. according to media reports, doctors, teachers and children, accompanied by parents. they are all very unhappy with the economic policies of chancellor olaf scholdz. the us and uk launched strikes on the houthi naval base near the port of hadeidah. news agencies report this with reference to sources. in addition, according to the american command, the allies fired tamahawk missiles at a radar station near the capital of yemen, sana'a. after friday's airstrikes by the us and uk , the ansar allah movement threatened a harsh response and said that us military installations in the middle east are now legitimate targets for houthi attacks.

on saturday, footage of a training exercise in which american flags were used as targets appeared online. russia called. external forces will refrain from provocations in light of the administration elections in taiwan. even after the preliminary vote count, the situation is ambiguous. most of the island's residents preferred to see laitsingde as the head of the region. supporter of taiwan independence, at the same time in the elections to the legislature, the islands and his party, apparently, are losing the majority, and the opposition is in favor of rapprochement with beijing, as they show, the election results will affect the future of taiwan and not only it, in a report by the chief of our beijing bureau, alexander baletsky. these are not official results yet, vote counting is ongoing, but supporters of taiwan's ruling democratic progressive party are already celebrating the victory of their candidate in the center of taipei. lai, qingde, aka william lai,

is leading in the election of the head of the island's administration, his main rival from the opposition kuomintang, howe, whose third of the votes has already been recognized defeat, in third place, as expected, is another oppositionist from the taiwanese people 's party kovzhe, he also has almost a third of the votes, which means the opposition is still in the majority, which is for change. most of us taiwanese are not that worried because tensions with china have been going on for a long time, so young people are a little tired in this environment. i think many candidates are avoiding the topic of cutting ties between taiwan and mainland china. when the us imposes sanctions on mainland china, our exports to china are down, less work, less staff. the world watched these elections with tension, because the result could affect not only relations between people. two sides of the strait, but on the attitude towards china and the united states, in washington from the very beginning

they relied on the so-called progressive democrats, who called america the main ally of the island, that they continued to pump taiwan with weapons and even talked about independence, despite the fact that in the kuomintsia in the taiwan people's party were inclined to believe that it is possible and necessary to deal with beijing dialogue, strengthening at least economic ties, certainly advocated maintaining the status quo, but the states chose to intimidate beijing island. taiwan's so-called independence is the biggest threat to cross-strait peace and stability and is doomed to fail. at the same time, biden recently warned the axes that those who play with fire will burn themselves, and although official beijing did not openly declare which of the candidates was preferable to it, the taiwanese elections in china were called a choice between.

its course for the next 4 years, however, judging by who he relied on will not be determined by him alone, which is why beijing is asking the united states to comply with previous agreements. official beijing has already stated that elections in taiwan are an internal matter of china and regardless of the voting results.

abnormally cold, even for mid-january in other regions. in the sverdlovsk region the temperature will drop to -42°. employees of the local ministry of emergency situations are going around houses reminding citizens about fire safety rules when using heaters. the box office of the film holob-2 in russia reached 3 billion rubles. it is for it took him only 13 days. the film was released on january 1. at this rate, in the near future it will be able to enter the top three at the box office. at the domestic box office. let me remind you that until 2023, the first part of serf was

the highest-grossing russian film at the national box office. then the film's gross total amounted to more than 3 billion rubles. only the cheburashka was able to overtake him. a journalist is not so much a profession as a vocation and a way of life. on the day of the russian press, war correspondents, thanks to whom we daily, literally in real time, we learn about the situation in the northern military district zone, we were invited to vladimir putin’s election headquarters.

and it is impossible for volunteers to comprehend such a confidential dialogue - a unique opportunity to learn first-hand the most valuable experience , to get guidelines for the chosen profession , they really gave from the height of their years , they really gave useful advice that can be implemented by a younger journalist

, such life hacks are useful things. i liked parts of blogging, parts of communication specifically with the younger generation a lot of things said by our guests, including the comments they liked about reading literature on the topic of journalism, it puts it in place and opens their eyes to the truth, each of these young guys proudly bear the title of volunteer, a person who has chosen the path to do good for free with their own hands and be useful where needed. the central election headquarters is essentially such a large living organism, volunteers, of which there are about 50 people, are its most important elements, they not only help in organizing the work of the headquarters itself, but they accompany people who came to give their signatures. volunteers will be collecting signatures, counting them and checking them until the end

of january. across the country, in each of the 89 regions in support of presidential candidates. the rest will be added to the candidate's support base. varvara nevskaya, news! why are you looking at her all the time? what, didn’t you hear? the ministry of emergency situations says not to leave the garland unattended.

russian nuclear technologies in bolivia are raising medicine to a new level, revealing the country’s agricultural potential and expanding the scientific capabilities of the latin american state, and this leap forward is already provided by the rosatom project, a center for nuclear research and technology. this is a unique object, the largest construction project in the modern history of russia in this part of the world, which is important for latin america in the first place. for bolivia itself, the country's first research reactor is being created here. a pressurized water research reactor several stories high. to install it in the design position, it was necessary. a special crane is a difficult and responsible engineering task, but it was even more difficult to deliver it halfway around the world. from the ulyanovsk region, here to alyaalta, to a city located at an altitude of

almost 4.00 m above sea level. the bolivian project, it is a little special , it is not a power plant, but a research center, complex, already here too - as they say, the light at the end of the tunnel of this project is visible, we have already launched a cyclotron complex that allows us to produce isotopes for radiopharmaceuticals, drugs for industrial materials science , the irradiation center has been launched, which makes it possible to work agricultural products with medical equipment, well, the installation of a reactor has begun, a research reactor, in this sense , the bolivians, of course, set an example for all of latin america, they hold the flag high, their neighbors come to visit them, a 200 kw research reactor, a service life of 50 years, a construction schedule and preparation of the installation for the launch is

tightly scheduled; it will take us a year to install the equipment and commission it. the next stage of the launch complex is the research reactor itself and the laboratories; we have essentially reached the final stage. research center, a nuclear research center that is built on the latin american continent. specialists from russia and belarus, and of course, local ones, are involved in the creation of the complex. the experience that will be gained during its construction will go down in the history of world nuclear energy, if only because the facility is being built at such a height. the physics is completely different. and just for fun, here the water boils at 85°, that is, if you are going to say black tea, then this is physically impossible, it will not be the same as on plain, as in russia, for example, that is why

the physical properties of the objects, the operation of the reactor itself, it is specially designed to work at such a height, and this is the most severe condition for those partners with whom we are jointly implementing this project. elalta is considered the highest altitude metropolis in the world, the city stands on... the gardens here are called cheleto, a somewhat consonant name between chalet and chelo, which is what the aymara indians are called, and so ellalta is largely because of them sometimes called

alien, precisely because brave architectural solutions. here is the nuclear center, about the technologies of tomorrow, however, the appearance is much more calm, inside there is a real pro... peaceful atom in agriculture bolivia is, first of all, the disinfestation of fruits and vegetables. the technology will make it possible to increase the shelf life without harming them in any way, and this is extremely important when it comes to export. balibian ambitions in this matter are extreme. shirok want to become a leader in sending fruit to russia. one of

the areas of elialt is like an open -air market, trucks come here directly to tons of fruit are dumped on the sidewalk. now part of this product will be sent for processing to a multipurpose irradiation center. our products did not meet international requirements, so some. markets are closed to us, and now in this center our agricultural products will be treated with gamma rays, and this will be guaranteed to mean that they do not pose any danger to the population. i am the president of bolivia, luis arza catacora, here is every line at the center for nuclear research and technology, an event important for the future of the whole countries. already, lists of those companies that will be able to disinfect their products using the new installation are being formed.

and it really turned out to be so modern, unique, scientific, and industrial. but not only decontamination, the center has already successfully launched a radiopharmacological complex with a cyclotron particle accelerator, and these are the most important components for diagnosing oncological diseases. here is the control center of the cyclotron complex, from here we monitor all production

processes. right now we're... we're shipping it around the country to the nuclear therapy center in lopas in santa cruz. a true russian-latin american partnership in action at the argentine center, patients undergo tomography and procedures, and radiopharmaceuticals for injection are manufactured right there in a neighboring building using a russian cyclotron. elalta is the only place in latin america where they can produce. dot-123 is the most important drug used in the diagnosis of thyroid diseases. previously, it was exported, but supplies were far from regular. the center’s capabilities are truly broad; it can produce more than a dozen isotopes for diagnosing oncological diseases. daniel bogarda is sure that every day the complex operates helps many, because the characteristics of life in the highlands and the problems of cancer are very

interconnected. bolivia has always had problems with the early diagnosis of cancer, and there have also been problems with the treatment of cancer. in the present now, thanks to this technology, patients do not need to travel outside the country to receive a diagnosis and be prescribed a course of treatment. thanks to production, we do not need to import these radiopharmaceuticals and chemotherapy. we can provide radiotherapy here in bolivia. the range of areas where the new reactor complex can be used is quite wide, from agricultural medicine to industry, ecology, exploration and mining . nuclear technologies make it possible to scan the subsoil in a way that is not possible classical geological exploration. the question for these places is fundamental. the bolivian soil is rich in rare earth metals, the only question is how to find them and use them.

first of all , the lithium deposit in south america contains a significant share of the world's proven reserves of this very promising element. bolivia sees great prospects in building the lithium industry in developing production and building a full production cycle. but the research reactor allows not only mining and production. he allows conduct scientific research to create new technologies to improve the efficiency of lithium use. largely due to its geographical location and proven reserves, bolivia has become more than just attractive for international business. as far as is known, the country's leadership offered money and technology in exchange for foreigners gaining control over the varnish industries. but in bolivia they proceeded from a different

philosophy: to let the subsoil... work for the country. the dialogue with russia gave the desired result. conversation as equals. truly so strategic dialogue, which presupposes mutual respect for interests. bolivia was not looking for cartridges, but found partners in the person of russian nuclear scientists, who clearly showed how the most complex objects can be created. this is how potential expands in reliable cooperation. for new, mutually beneficial projects between the two countries.
