hello, international review is on air, in the studio fyodor lukyanov. today on the international review program. events of the week, chronicle, facts, comments. diplomacy during a split, the high art of communication in hostile conditions. canceling russia and new sanctions, not a bad try. escalation of the conflict in gaza,

why no one wants to continue, a threat to peace in the middle east, when military-political tensions are growing, there are misfires, amid talk of an imminent conflict with russia, british the navy decided to test the intercontinental.

the previous test 8 years ago also didn’t work out, the rocket veered dangerously off course and self-destructed, anything can happen, rule britain’s seas and continue as best you can. you have lost an atomic bomb, its cost will be deducted from your salary. this statement is attributed to an unknown american general, although most likely this is a story, but atomic bombs really were lost and even. dropped on people's heads. on incidents with air-launched nuclear supplies in the ussr little is known. they may not have happened, unlike submarine or ballistic missile incidents. but american strategic aviation has firmly secured its leadership in this discipline. in the forties, the air force was the only branch of the military that received sufficient funding as the main carrier of the nuclear threat in the event. pilots need to train,

and for this purpose the planes often flew with a full combat load, that is, with nuclear bombs, versions of why they didn’t use a lot of mock-ups, but none gives a comprehensive answer. the design of the bomb was made to be as reliable as possible and resistant to low- skilled specialists. a separate capsule that triggered a chain reaction and caused a nuclear explosion was not installed, but the detonation of a high-explosive weapon was installed. this happened not far from a warehouse with nuclear weapons, the bomb detonated and exploded, but the plutonium core was missing, so instead of a nuclear explosion , the area was contaminated and the explosion also killed a cow, another case. due to crew error. at fifty

in the eighth year, on one of the b-47s , the malfunction lamp of the bomb release mechanism came on. the navigator went to check, climbed into the descending device and activated it with his weight. the bomb crashed through a hatch and flew down into a residential area of ​​mars bluve in south carolina. it was only by luck that the explosion of the high-explosive part left a crater 20 m in diameter and did not kill anyone. six people were injured, three of them children. by the way, the navigator did not fall out of the plane, everyone was paid compensation. in 1966, in the skies over spain, a b-52 collided with a plane tanker. the crew of the tanker died immediately, and four of the seven pilots of the bomber were saved. there were four thermonuclear bombs on board. one’s parachute opened normally and she was quickly found. two crashed into the ground and

exploded; decontamination had to be carried out, but in 2006 an increased background was discovered again, and the last bomb fell into the sea, during the search for it the first one became disabled. his story became the basis for the film military diver. the plane's wreckage did not kill anyone on the ground, but it was impossible to hide the incident. operation the chrome dome, in which part of the b-52 was always in the air with nuclear weapons , was in danger of being closed. it was canceled after another incident. in greenland. the military-political crisis around ukraine remains the main global topic, pushing the war in palestine into the background. the situation there is far from resolved, but the feeling of fate has passed. another tough and

bloody middle eastern confrontation, essentially changing little. but the ukrainian conflict is perceived as something turning point for... after all, moscow has long demanded a revision of the principles of european security established after the cold war. in my opinion, biden made a mistake by inflating the game. depends on whether they accept the democratic model as the us sees it. the future of the international order will be determined by many factors, not just

this conflict; the european future, without a doubt, depends on its outcome. hotline. washington moscow is a closed channel of communication between the president of the united states and the leadership of the ussr, and now the president of russia. appeared it was shortly after the cuban missile crisis, then it took 12 hours to decipher khrushchev’s message to kennedy from just 3,000 words, an unacceptably long time while the world was on the brink of nuclear war. on june 20, sixty- three, in geneva, representatives of the usa and the ussr, charles steele. and semyon tsarabkin signed a memorandum on establishing a direct communication line; contrary to the common name direct telephone line, it was neither direct nor telephone at that time. communication took place along the lines of washington, london, copenhagen, stockholm, helsinki, moscow.

a submarine cable was laid across the ocean. the backup channel was a radiotelegraph using a relay station in moroccan tangier. and only... the americans conveyed a funny phrase that contained all the letters of the english alphabet, a fast, brown fox jumped over the back of a lazy dog ​​and... numbers from zero to nine. the first, important message was the message about the assassination of john kennedy in november 63, and the first exchange of messages occurred on june 5 , 1967, when israel began military operations against arab countries. in that day

us secretary of defense robert bucknamara woke up president johnson at 7 a.m. after receiving a hotline message from soviet premier alexei kosygin. year during the military conflict between india and pakistan, this time washington asked moscow to convince delhi to show restraint. nixon used it more than two dozen times, but carter only three times. by his own admission, he sent

his toughest message over the hotline to moscow during his entire tenure as president. this happened shortly after entering soviet troops to afghanistan at the end of seventy-nine. during the times. an innovation appeared on reagan and gorbachev; they began to use foxymel communications to transmit information. this made it possible to transmit not only text, but diagrams, maps and diagrams. contact was maintained even after the collapse of the soviet union. in 2016, president obama sent messages to the kremlin demanding not to interfere in the american elections. but if this is a war of democracy against autocracy, then there is no room for compromise. yes, if you describe what is happening so categorically, then there is no compromise visible, but categoricalness. has decreased over the years, this idea was more characteristic of the first year, then it seems to me

that the biden administration shifted its focus somewhat, they began to talk more about the world and regional order than about the confrontation between democracy and autocracy, it’s generally strange to talk about this on a global scale, such respected democracies, such as india and brazil, are not going to take sides at all, maintaining strong relations with russia. with the west, in some countries they believe that in order to mobilize popular support, they need to present the conflict in the ideological backdrop of the cold war, but as a foreign policy argument, this does not work, and if we turn to the middle east, the topic of democracy and autocracies becomes even more confusing. if we recall the first salvos of the crisis, the memorandum of the russian foreign ministry in december of twenty-one, as well as the agenda of the failed negotiations.

russia will probably have to agree that ukraine has the right to security guarantees, recognize that respect for security interests and the status of russia does not mean a threat to the existence of ukraine as an independent state; perhaps russia will accept a modern understanding of its sphere of interests inherent in the 20th century. this means that russian concerns will be taken into account, the question of ukraine’s membership in nato will be postponed until...

“tell us about the cold war, how it was then, to which he answers, don’t rush, you’ll soon find out for yourself.” john darkov does not lose his composure, possessing a certain amount of humor. “hello, neighbor, says the man with the shovel, i ’m building.” a basement, or a nuclear shelter, is it depends on the news. a view from beijing, drawing by the desperate media group of china central television. on the bed it is written, a patient with... a mental disorder, a new cold war - uncle sam shouts, waving his fists in the form of the flags of japan and south korea. slovakian marian kamensky represents the prospects for europe in the coming conflict, looks threatening: a blooming garden below and two platinums, ukraine and the usa. it’s even hard

to imagine how all this could end. recently, the financial times, a prominent european commentator ivan krastev suggested that to ukraine as to western germany in the early fifties, to recognize the loss of part of the territories in favor of russia, and to accept the diminished ukraine into nato on full grounds. one of nato's problems in the ukrainian issue is that the alliance is generally not equipped to deal with a conflict of this kind. nato was created in the late forties. when there was a stable community of western european states on one side of the iron fence, they were given full security guarantees to contain the ussr. a very clear task: the situation with ukraine has nothing in common with that. a war is in full swing on its territory. the nato structure itself does not imply guarantees for 2/3 of the country. through stripes of gray zones,

demetized zones. nato is responsible here, but not here. will arise in the event of the admission of a country with unfixed borders and incomplete territorial control, more than those for whose solution they will try to do this, and it seems to me that russia will not be satisfied with this at all, and if this does not suit russia, then it will try to achieve a change, which nato will put before necessity to use article 5 in conditions for which the alliance is not at all ready. professor kimidzh correctly understands that russia will not be happy with this, in the third year of the crisis. the world is entering without a plan b. the military solution remains the only one, although ideas about it are changing. apparently, as popular wisdom goes, we will count in the fall. a non-trivial aspect of the ukrainian conflict manifested itself far, far away from the scene in ecuador. a dispute arose between moscow and china,

which showed another facet of the modern way of conducting. to lomatia. ecuador - the largest exporter of bananas in the world and the main supplier to russia of this product, which is actually grass. they buy it from us even more often than apples and pears. last year, ecuador supplied 75 million boxes to the russian market, which is more than 95% of our country’s total need for bananas. against this background, there is news about restrictions on exports to russia. five out of twenty ecuadorian companies, shocking local suppliers. during the inspection of the next batch , rosselkhoznadzor discovered in it the larvae of the polyphagous humpback fly, a dangerous pest potential carrier of cholera. a day later, representatives of the organization reported a violation of phytosanitary requirements for supplies from ecuador tsvitov. the claims

were preceded by a diplomatic scandal. in january, the president of the republic is daniel. naboa announced his intention to transfer samples of soviet military equipment worth $200 million to the united states in exchange for new american weapons, which violates the terms of the russian-ecuadorian arms supply contract. we were talking about american black hawk helicopters, which ecuador planned to use the mi-171 and mi-171v, which the united states was planning, to suppress the rebellion within the country and fight terrorists. install the apu service. the russian side warned that if the deal goes through, it will regard it as an unfriendly step, a violation of neutrality and a contribution to the conflict of one side. as a result of bilateral consultations, the ecuadorian authorities decided not to send weapons and ammunition to the united states and declared their intention to help

resolve conflicts peacefully. the day before, rosselkhoznadzor reported that ecuadorian enterprises. which is pointless to tell in a dry reference style, so we asked to continue the topic of commander sergei, the unbending guerrilla of our screen. a whole submarine with drugs was detained this month on the border of colombia with ecuador, these are definitely drugs, some turn

pink when tested, others turn blue, which means cocaine and derivatives, only 4 tons or 10 million doses, all this on the border with a now special country, without the order that the drug mafia created in ecuador in january was rightly qualified as... having been elected, he sent his chosen one with him in tandem as vice president, ambassador to israel. today, the actions of the newly elected presidents and vice-presidents of some latin american countries seem so

extravagant that one comes to the conclusion that politics is over. no, we will now convincingly show that this is very much politics. it's just a coincidence. some, however, are quite pleasant. it is right that the ecuadorian army took control of the prisons. it is also correct that closest to ecuador. subsequent shipment to ukraine, the soviet russian weapons available to the republic. the young president noboo first identified this as a quote from chatar. scrap metal.

it’s good scrap metal if during the border conflict ecuador in peru, the stalemate arose precisely because the soviet dryers that peru had could not fly precisely because of the soviet air defense systems that ecuador had, igla. well, let’s say it was a long time ago, the needles were bought, it seems, from nicaragua, but here. even now, these ecuadorian flowers in miami were going to such valentine's day, popular among western christians, in russia, for which ecuador is the third trading partner in latin america after brazil and mexico, rosselkhoznadzor decided that fewer ecuadorian flowers and ecuadorian bananas would be received on any day due to the identified, new for the majority from us the term is multi -berry humpback flies. this week such... ecuadorian media as primissiyas asked the russian ambassador to ecuador vladimir sprinchan. is there any connection between sanctions against banana exporters and the president's statement ?

naboa on the transfer of weapons. these are two completely different topics. for reference, the head of rosselkhoznadzor sergei dankvert is the co-chairman of the russian ecuadorian intergovernmental commission. but she didn’t gather for 3 years, first because of covid, well, that would be fine, but then because of the position of the previous president. as for weapons, according to the agreement of this century, 2008, ecuador must coordinate the transfer of soviet russian weapons to third countries with moscow. the russian ambassador in quieto insisted on this when he achieved a personal meeting with the president of ecuador and after she was the first to say that ecuador will not transfer soviet russian weapons to the united states and will not transfer them further to ukraine, and this week. this is in the ecuadorian parliament, the head of the mit-republic gabriela somerfeld stated that as a country that is a non-permanent member of the un security council, ecuador will not transfer weapons to any

state in a state of conflict, also a formula. by the way, an interesting detail: the meeting of the relevant parliamentary commission is chaired by a deputy, and more recently the ambassador of ecuador in moscow, patricio chavis. ecuadorian indians, that’s who says, culture, of course, is no exception, what was previously resorted to to overcome the split is now increasingly spurred on by it. the phenomenon

of social astrocism, cancel culture, or cancel culture originated in the united states. the very word cancel in relation to a person was first heard in the early nineties in the action movie newt city, where in one of the scenes during a quarrel , wesley snipes’ character asked to cancel his girlfriend. at the beginning of 2000, the phrase was regularly heard in foreign tv shows, in 2010 after accusations of sexual harassment in the united states, one of the most influential

producers in hollywood was canceled. in 2020, after tweets about the need to call women women, lang, the author of the harry potter series of books, came under fire from critics. social network users. they accused her of transphobia, bombarded her with threats, and even launched the hashtag rest in peace john rowling. today , cancel culture covers the entire social agenda, ecology, minority rights, violence and religion, essentially forming an institution of public shaming, bordering on bullying, for incorrect things that go against the current agenda of statements or behavior, sexism, racism and homophobia,

anyone can fall under kensling. often without regard to when or under what circumstances it happened, with those who cancel others believing they are acting in the interests of the public good, and those who are culturally boycotted incur reputational and financial costs. mobile voting station, pa. are you waiting for someone? but now you will see, this is a special mobile unit that will come to places where there is no polling station and rarely goes transport so that every resident can vote. how does it all work here? and just like at a regular polling station: you present your passport, receive a ballot, make a choice and vote. how will your ballot be saved? the boxes are sealed, the ballots from them will be...

stored in bags until the end of voting, and there will also be observers at the polling station.
