we will take on this case, it will be an honest detective story. let's translate from clerical to understandable, everything is not so scary if there are instructions.

welcome to asia, here the heart of the continent beats, and we keep our finger on the pulse. today on the program , a powerful earthquake in china shook central asia as it should. not everyone passed the strength test. shavkat mirziyoyev’s state visit to china opens a new chapter in relations between beijing and tashkent, and russia and kazakhstan are in the process of agreeing on joint actions on countering biological threats. sleepless night for almaty residents. now it will calm down. strong tremors began just after midnight and continued for several minutes. residents of apartment buildings rushed into the street. the footage shows a crush at the entrance of one of the almaty high-rise buildings. some ran out into the street without outerwear, others in only slippers. the tremors came from

neighboring china. the epicenter was located almost on the border of the three countries of kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan and china. earthquake magnitude 7.1 points was recorded in northwestern china, approximately 260 km from almaty and 140 km from the kyrgyz isykul. the settlement closest to the epicenter is on the southern shore of lake issykul. in kyrgyzstan. videos of a crack like this on the beach in the village of tamga are being shared on social networks. in bishkka, the strength of the tremors was estimated at 4-5 points, but this was enough to frighten residents of densely populated areas. all the neighbors on the street, those who can leave, are leaving, we also gathered, we will go to the drivers and only the wash basin is working. and this is again footage of almaty at night megapolis. stuck in traffic jams. thousands of people tried to leave the city away from tall buildings. for a long time yet people. there were

no casualties; several people were injured while jumping from the windows of the second and third floors. in total , about 70 people turned to doctors for help. among the victims were two six-month-old babies, one fell from the mother’s arms, the other from a crib. that is , it was disorganization and panic that became the main threat. big questions about how the system worked, or rather, did not work alerts. they decided not to turn on the sirens so as not to create a stir, and the warning sms only arrived in the morning. the president of kazakhstan went on a working trip to almaty for a meeting on the situation with seismic safety. takaev criticized those responsible for the fact that megapolis was not prepared for the earthquake, and the competent authorities did not pass the tests of the elements. the head of the ministry of emergency situations also got it personally. if you think your work is too much for you, let us know. there is nothing shameful here. we will return

you to scientific teaching, you are very a strong specialist, a theorist in the field of emergency situations, you have scientific works, but now you need a practical approach. takaev criticized the poor material and technical equipment of the warning system; according to him , the installation of additional 285 seismic stations is required throughout the country. what else do you remember about this week in asia? kazakhstan is very close to releasing its own. tional drug to combat oncology, it is called jvc and is said to be able to disrupt the nutrition of cancer cells, then in some cases, it will allow patients to do without chemotherapy; mass production is planned to be launched in the foreseeable future. in uzbekistan, you can now lose

your freedom for illegal trafficking in cryptocurrencies and illegal mining. for this purpose , two new articles were prescribed in the criminal code of the republic. the punishment for them is implied to be quite severe. best case scenario. fine with complete confiscation at worst from 3 to 5 years. a beautiful addition to the ashgabat zoo. visitors are invited to see the rare central asian leopard cub. cat name is dursun. and although she appeared in the world six months ago, her mother hid her from unnecessary attention all this time. but now anyone can watch how the animal grows up. at the invitation of the chairman of the chinese people's... republic president of uzbekistan shavkat mirziyoyev visited the celestial empire on a three-day state visit. the visit began with a visit to tianyamen square in beijing, mirziyoyev laid wine at the foot of the monument to national heroes, paying tribute to the fighters who sacrificed their lives for national independence and

freedom. during the busy program of the visit , shovkat mirziyoyev held negotiations with high-ranking officials of the people's republic of china and representatives of large business; negotiations were held in beijing with uzbekistan on the current state of uzbek-chinese relations. according to mirziyoyev, they are now experiencing the best

period in their history. i note with satisfaction that relations between our countries are experiencing the best period in their history, demonstrating consistently high dynamics. i think so. naturally, the great ancient civilizations always alike, understand each other and are close in spirit, the peoples of uzbekistan and china have similar culture and ideals. our historical ties go back to the origins of the great silk road, along which most of the world's trade flowed. uzbekistan's trade with china is subject to most favored nation treatment; this is enshrined in a bilateral agreement. china is one of the leading trading partners of uzbekistan and, along with russia, leads in the number of investments. into the economy of the republic. in the twenty-third year, trade turnover uzbekistan and china grew by more than 50% and amounted to almost $14 billion. at the same time, exports amounted to 2.5 billion. and imports increased to 11.3 billion dollars. the bulk of imports from china were machinery and equipment,

industrial goods and chemicals. also, with the participation of chinese companies and financial institutions, a number of large investment projects are being implemented in the field of high technology in the fields of alternative energy, chemistry, mechanical engineering, metallurgy and other areas. as part of the business program of the visit, shavkat mirziyoyev visited byd headquarters in shenzhen. in a solemn atmosphere , the production of electric vehicles was launched in the jizzakh region. and the first uzbek-chinese interregional forum was held in urumqi. chinese entrepreneurs were presented with an exhibition made in uzbekistan. an agreement for $70 million was signed. indeed a visit with a lot of concrete results. but the prospects are even more interesting; we’ll talk about them with sergei sanakoev, head of the center for studies of the asia-pacific region. how would you could you characterize the results of shavkat mirzioyev’s three-day state visit to china and what main agreements would you highlight? well, if this summit can affect

our bilateral relations, only in a positive direction. let me remind you that we are all members of the shanghai cooperation organization, where we interact very actively. we are seeing investments in the field of clean energy, we are seeing cooperation in the field of logistics, the construction of a new railway, a new logistics corridor through the sea, through the iranian port benderabas and further through tajikistan, the same uzbekistan, all this shows that... all these projects, of course, primarily suit uzbekistan, but in general all the countries

of the shanghai cooperation organization are interested in such development. how do you think beijing was able to strengthen its position in the central asian region, including in relations with tashkent? i personally believe that this is primarily due to the policy that the people's republic of china as a whole is pursuing in its foreign policy foreign policy. let me remind you that the main position is the theory of a community of a common destiny, that is, china, in comparison with the west, offers the global south not some kind of neo-colonialist policy, but mutually beneficial cooperation, this is seen by everyone, well, its closest neighbors, first of all. and... on to other news. vaping is harmful. the majelist of the parliament of kazakhstan nevertheless adopted legislative amendments that, in essence,

prohibit the production, import and turnover of vapes. the initiators of this decision propose to punish violators under a criminal article, arrest for up to 50 days for retail sales for a period of two to 5 years for wholesale. a bishkek court released from custody kyrgyz citizen oscar kubanychbek, who participated in a special military operation on the side of russia instead of the previous one. in the form of 10 years of imprisonment for mercenarism, he was assigned probationary supervision, which means that oscar will not be able to leave the country, but he will not go to jail. major successes in central asian football. the national teams of uzbekistan and tajikistan have reached the playoffs of the asian cup, which is being hosted by qatar. both the teams took second place in the groups, and the uzbek team did not lose any of the three matches, losing ahead only to the traditionally strong australia. and the tajiks lost only to the hosts of the tournament. having played a draw with china and defeated lebanon. the best fashion houses and couturiers of turkmenistan

showed a non-standard vision of national clothing design at the oriental fashion show in paris. recognizable ethnic motifs were combined with the european contours of dresses, and the picture was complemented by bright accessories with references to traditional art turkmen jewelers. and kazakhstan initiated a discussion about the creation of an international agency. on biological safety issues. on january 23 , bilateral consultations between russia and kazakhstan took place in saratov, so the russian foreign ministry reported on the pressing issue of the results. the message says that the implementation of agreements on countering biothreats and specific areas for further cooperation were considered. at the initiative of kazakhstan, the parties discussed the organization of a joint group for monitoring hazardous infections in border areas. why is interaction in the field of biological science so necessary right now? threats, to what extent the approaches of moscow and astana coincide in this matter, we will discuss with gennady grigoryevich

anishchenko, doctor of medical sciences, academician, former chief sanitary doctor of russia. what is the current focus of attention of experts from russia and kazakhstan in the field of biological safety and what could be the functionality and general purpose of such an international commission that kazakhstan proposed to create? first, well i i'm complimentary. from the opposition of kazakhstan, that they are actively offering us cooperation in this area, this is good, because there are objective reasons for this, there are two things here: the first thing is the vital, objective need for cooperation in this area, the second is the topic which is associated with the emergence of a pandemic, of course two states. which have a huge border, which, fortunately, is not closed, we have

crossing points, naturally, in these conditions there is a need to specialists, first of all, representatives of epidemiological surveillance interacted, i will even say that the choice of saratov as the venue for this meeting was also... not accidental, because in saratov we have our head institution, the saratov anti-chem institute, which has been with thirties of the last century. performed the lead function and monitored all anti-plague outbreaks. we had six institutes, one, by the way, in almaat and on the basis of that central asian or almaty anti-them institute , a high-level security laboratory was built, bl-3,

the peculiarity of this laboratory, like the laboratories in georgia, is that the military work there... “let us see what military doctors are doing there, but the authorities won’t let us go there they let us in, and moreover, these laboratories are not even guarded by the kazakh military, now another laboratory of a higher level of protection is being built, a battle, why is this being done?” "kazakhstan is a very convenient territory, and for military microbiologists, who, no matter what they they said that they are engaged in only one thing, the development of offensive programs in the field of biological weapons, this is very convenient, china is close to russia, so we need to really cooperate in this regard, we

need to cooperate more closely on the natural threats that i spoke about in... we need develop cooperation taking into account all risks. uzbekistan and russia continue to develop cooperation in the agricultural sector. specialists from russia will help create a specialized laboratory for agricultural complexes. region, project cost valued at more than $57 million. the laboratory will facilitate the supply of agricultural products from uzbekistan to russia without delays. in november of the twenty-third year , the ceremonial launch of the first stage of the uzbek-russian joint agrologistic hub took place in the jizzakh region. read more about the project directly related to food security.

please tell us about the volumes and types of products for which the complex is designed? this means that our complex has been created, the first stage of construction of the complex has been completed, it is designed the first stage that we built is now starting to operate, it is designed for 240-260 thousand tons of fruit products, the turnover of this complex is per year, it was created in order to speed up the process of passing quarantine phytosanitary control for export to the russian federation, these are the results. the research of this laboratory will be accepted by both the uzbek and russian sides, the laboratory staff is currently being trained, russian representatives from the institute of plant quarantine came, trained and are being trained in tashkent. at the first stage , there are currently about 200 full-time employees of the complex, plus related

structures that will work for us at the complex, in total there will be more than 300 people constantly working. in general, how important is this project in terms of trade relations russia and uzbekistan? you know, well, according to our forecasts, when our complex is launched, when it reaches full capacity, the production of fruit products will simply increase, because domestic consumption in uzbekistan will remain remains unchanged, and it is the export component that will increase, we assume that after some certain time of operation at full capacity, total production will increase. production in uzbekistan will grow by no less than 10%, it will grow annually, and these many uzbek companies, realizing that our complex is now starting to work, are increasing their export potential precisely due to higher quality types of products.
