either the views on the ways of establishing peace and stability in the middle east and the formation of a new, more just world order are close or coincide. ahmet awat bin mubarak, in turn, emphasized that yemen is proud of the special nature of relations with russia and understands how important its role is on the world stage. our state has a 95-year relationship, valentina matvienko emphasized, recalling that yemen was the first. an arab country with which the soviet union signed a full-fledged friendship treaty and trade. during this time, russian universities have graduated thousands of yemeni students, who now occupy important positions helping to develop the economy and humanitarian ties in the republic. not only to maintain, but to increase the pace of housing construction. how can this be achieved in modern conditions? which regions are the leaders in modernizing public utility infrastructure and where these processes have not been resolved for years, what needs to be done to change this? we will not

only talk about this with senator andrei shevchenko, who is in the federation council presented a draft resolution on the results of the development of the industry and the prospects for the development of housing construction and housing and communal services. andrey anatolyevich, hello, what main questions were raised, what proposals were reflected in the draft resolution of the federation council? the main goals that we discussed are, of course, the development of the housing construction industry, providing our citizens with comfortable housing. living environment, these are the main goals of the national project housing and urban environment, i would like to remind you that in general, if we take the project - housing and the urban environment, it began working in 2018, and of course, the goals that were set, many of them were achieved, what was discussed, and we reflected in the resolution, and it ends its activities in 2024, an appeal to the government , it was , as it were, completely... all the senators were

interested in this in their questions about extending this project until 2030. in addition, we indicated in the resolution that we should expand this project into a separate direction. first of all, of course, we consider the main direction today to be accelerated modernization and construction of utility networks. this is what virtually every region is concerned about today. this is the relocation of emergency dilapidated housing, these are the programs and those topics that are in demand, secondly, today there are a lot of, well , questions in order to develop them further, the federal project infrastructure menu has proven itself well in the regions, is it possible to summarize the results of implementation of this project to say that it gave regions and municipalities, well, this project is today i’m not afraid to say that this is probably the most popular and most effective project in recent

years, i just want to remind you that if we take the results of 2023, this is the result, then a lot of objects were made, that’s why project on the infrastructure menu as a whole, this is through budget loans, these are special treasury bonds, and before the beginning of 2025 , about 580 billion rubles more will be introduced... this is a very popular project for national welfare, but that’s it if we add money here, add a fund for these two projects, more than 700 objects have already been done in recent years, but what else would i like to note, despite the fact that there is a demand and we say that in recent years the competence of teams has improved in the regions, but nevertheless today we are talking about this out loud so that we... in preparing the projects themselves, there is a question

today regarding the preparation of documentation in terms of time, that is, all this leads to the fact that , unfortunately, the so-called utilization of money and effective work in this area requires additional adjustments today, this is exactly what we were talking about, and we reflected in our resolution that today... the ministry of construction should provide more methodological assistance to those regions where today, unfortunately, these issues still remain. a lively discussion took place in the upper house on the financing of measures to replace elevators and elevator equipment in apartment buildings. the topic is really very relevant now, what decisions were ultimately made? well, this is not the first time we have discussed the elevator topic, and valentina ivanovna matvienko, knowing the urgency of this issue, is precisely her. i asked the director

of the territorial development fund, i want to remind you that it was today after the merger of two funds into a fund for promoting housing and communal services reform and a fund for defrauded shares. was merged into a territorial development fund, the frt fund, which today is the operator in order to additionally finance this program for elevators, i would like to remind you that in 2020 , 750 million were allocated from the reserve fund, even then there was a fund for promoting the reform of housing and communal services rub what made it possible to replace 3,000 elevators in 226 regions, unfortunately, after that, today it is the twenty-fourth. funds have not been allocated for a year, and we understand that this problem, it is today, unfortunately, and is not being solved at the pace that is necessary, but according to the agreement of the customs union until 2025, starting from now, if we are talking to this day, this in return for 83,000 elevators,

and this is, first of all, safety, this is, first of all, what needs to be done first of all, so valentina ivanova instructed the territory development fund to two committees, including our committee, we , together with the budget committee, in order for the territory development fund to prepare proposals for the implementation of this program within 2 months, these may be in various directions, but today it is necessary not only to discuss, but to urgently make decisions . andrey anatolyevich, this year the russian winter tested the strength of housing and communal services, with heating system failures in podolsk, arkhangelsk, and khantemansiysk. what do you think are the causes of these accidents and what senators gave recommendations to the government and the ministry of construction so that such problems , similar problems in the future could be avoided, what is the main reason here , we looked into it together with the ministry of construction together with colleagues, well, firstly, of course, we

are talking about the deterioration of networks , this is the first, second, today, unfortunately, this means that the old networks are loaded on new houses, on new enterprises that are being built. who are dealing with these issues today, unfortunately, today we do not have time to repair the networks, they are wearing out faster than we reconstruct them, this is another point, it is very important for us, when we talk about extending this program for the development of replacing utility systems,

it is necessary to additionally finance this, today these are not enough questions, and of course the responsibility of those who are involved in the acceptance of these... networks, heating systems, first of all, the so-called heating season, these are certificates of readiness , and now we believe that this is a systematic approach in each region, it will make it possible to avoid such consequences, which were, and of course, it is timely to inspect all these networks in order to identify in advance whether it can bear this load or cannot bear the load, that is, there are all the mechanisms for this, but i say again that here is a systematic approach, unfortunately, sometimes it doesn’t work out... it doesn’t work out, in russia it is necessary to build an integral system of intellectual property management in the regions, to organize the entire path from the preparation of the necessary regulations to the organization of work directly on the ground, and in order the relevant institutions have started to work in full force and have begun to bring real returns

to the economy; the constituent entities of the federation need support from the center, valentina matvienko stated. we’ll talk more about this and other intellectual property issues with senator liliya.

and, of course, we understand that this is not a program for the sake of a program, all this is aimed at the successful development of the economy of a specific region, for example, today in the republic of mordovia, in the khantemansi autonomous okrug, the kemerovo region, the nizhny novgorod region a special preferential tax regime has been introduced on profits from income when licensing the results of intellectual activity, and if the current legislation. if this is 20% , then the current legal framework makes it possible to reduce this rate from 3 to 6%, but this does not

mean that the subjects lose some income, thanks to such a preferential measure, but on the contrary, due to the fact that developments are effectively implemented in life, the subject receives additional income, the experience of moscow, which today is conducting an experiment together with the bank, has proven effective, according to lending secured by intellectual property, many regions have already become interested in this practice and have expressed their readiness to also participate in such projects, but of course we see that the registration of regional brands today is of active interest among the regions, this is not only an image component, but also tourist attractiveness, and as we have already noted... there is an opportunity to replenish the budget of a particular region, provide a window

of opportunity for the development of small businesses, the opening of new production the development of coastal regions is an important topic to which the president paid special attention in his message to the federal assembly. he emphasized that significant funds from the sale of seafood quotas will be used for the social development of municipalities, which are the base of our fishing industry. as for directly. fishermen and enterprises involved in this area, then the law approved by the federation council will provide them with significant support. thanks to a parliamentary initiative, tax deductions will be possible receive not in a few years, but already the next year after processing of aquatic biological resources. one of the authors of the adopted document is senator alexander dvoinykh, he is a guest on our broadcast today. alexander vladimirovich, hello. so, what legislative changes to the tax code are planned and how will they affect the activities of fishermen and investors? in the near future, a new law will come into force, which was approved by the federation council,

which we initiated, which allows our fishing enterprises that invest money in deep processing of fish, receive a tax deduction as quickly as possible, we have a law that allows you to receive these tax deductions, it has already led to good results, more than 25 enterprises have been created and...

that is why , after receiving such an application, we realized that this is a problem that it does not so effectively stimulate deep processing of fish, we, together with colleagues from the state duma, very quickly worked out this issue with the ministry of finance, who supported our position, logically, in the near future fishermen will begin to receive this compensation next year. this will allow more money to be invested in recycling. and in general, we have such a problem in a number of industries. it also applies to the processing of hazelnuts and wool. our task is not just to increase production volumes, but to create an infrastructure so that it can be processed here, so that these products can be processed within our country. and in fact, the main added value

was created here. our committee is considering the situation, for example, with hazelnuts and we we see that often... nuts are exported from the country, and then often returned to us in processed form, and the main added value is not created in our country, which is why such a discussion was held at the federation council meetings, now we are with the relevant ministries we are working on this topic, but regarding fish these decisions have already been made , it is important not just compensation, but their efficiency, so i am sure that the industry will quickly feel it. these changes and more money will be reinvested in the opening and creation of processing facilities on the territory of the russian federation. an equally pressing topic is support for the agricultural industry. you are also one of the initiators of a bill that will expand marketing opportunities for farm products. how long do you think it will take to finalize the document and what privileges

for farmers are provided for in this document? the bill passed. first reading in the state duma, this is a joint bill of senators and deputies, it is very important that it was not born in the offices within the walls of parliaments exclusively, together with farming community, if we talk about deadlines, i hope that in the spring session we will finish work on it, the formulations that are immersed in the law are very important, and we do not only...

farm products, so our task is to make domestic farmers feel confident felt on the shelves of large retail chains, this law has been prepared for this purpose, it will also be aimed at supporting and developing agricultural cooperation, this is a very working and functioning mechanism, unfortunately, it is used very little in our country, and we plan that the bill will since measures of state support will be provided specifically ... by a cooperative, so that small enterprises unite into cooperatives, have the opportunity to refine their products and sell them in the retail chain, while the bill does not pass through the resistance of retail chains, on the contrary, through experiments that we are doing today we are leading and i also want to say that we feel a serious request from our consumers specifically

for farm products, everyone wants to consume farm cottage cheese, farm milk, and i i think this is the year of supporting small agribusiness, what do you mean? what kind of help can small farms now count on, and what measures, in your opinion, have yet to appear? first - this, of course, the initiative was connected with the adoption of the law that we are now working on, it is true, in our opinion, it should seriously change these approaches,

secondly, it is important that it is the agricultural sector that honestly admits that we have there is still a serious disproportion between the support of large agricultural holdings and small forms of farming, our initiative is not related to the fact that we should reduce support. e large holdings, they are actually very high-tech today, they provide such a framework for the doctrine of food security, they implement digital technologies with exceptional quality, but they mainly work in the black earth in zones with high efficiency, our task is to develop all regions of the russian federation in a balanced and even manner, here outside the black soil. small forms of business work, so i think it’s important increase the volume of state support and pay more attention to

small forms of business, our budget process actually does not end, and here it is very important that we, together with our colleagues from the state duma, act as a united front, insisting on an increase in the overall support budget, and there are proven forms. this and grants , subsidies for loans, a very well-functioning program for agricultural startups, when new enterprises appear, creating jobs, bringing something new to the markets sales, in general we see a serious return from the agricultural industry, it is no longer actually subsidized, we see what revenues come to the budget thanks to exports to the homeland. products thanks to the taxes that enterprises pay, so here we can speak quite confidently about our position that

economic support for small forms in the budgetary plan needs to be increased. now about important innovations that will affect car owners. from march 2 , it is allowed to purchase an osaga policy not for a whole year, but for a shorter period of one up to 3 months. we will also tell you about other innovations in this area. and also speech. let's talk about the social sphere: many of the changes have already come into force since the beginning of the year, they have been felt by millions of citizens of our country. oksana podtorkina will talk about the main ones. the mrod increased by 18.5%, and now it exceeds 1,900 rubles. in some regions this figure is even higher. the cost of living has also been increased, which now in russia as a whole is almost 1,500 rubles. by the way, the size of many benefits and the single benefit in particular that people receive depends on it. almost 11 million and about 4,000 pregnant women. its amount is automatically recalculated by the social fund, based on the cost of living in each region. and this year , maternity

benefits and sick leave payments have increased by almost one and a half times. temporary disability benefits increased to 122,000 rubles. and the maternity benefit, let’s take the standard 140 days , increased, that is, in 2023 it was. 383 rub. in 2024 - this will already be payments of about 565,000 rubles. monthly child care allowance from january 1, 2024 is about 49. rub. the child care benefit is still paid for a year and a half, and the significant change is that now it remains, even if the parents or grandparents, who, by the way, can also take so-called maternity leave... go to work . this may be employment for a short period, including with another employer. the new rule also applies to part-time work, telecommuting and working from home. since january twenty-

four, the decree came into force president of the russian federation, which allows you to receive a monthly payment for the care of disabled children, for people with disabilities from childhood of the first group, parents, adoptive parents, guardians and trustees who. under an employment contract under part- time working conditions, including remotely or at home. this applies only to payments, which are paid in the amount of 10 thousand rubles. i’ll tell you a little about what changes this year has brought to car owners. firstly, starting from march 2, they can purchase short-term osaga policies, which are valid from one day to 3 months. secondly, the launch of the unified osaga system is planned for the fall, that is, it will be quite possible to purchase a unified insurance for trips around russia.

the period of validity of the punishment will not be completed , it will be impossible to obtain a license if you did not appear on a summons from the military registration and enlistment office, if we talk about rights that expire in the twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth year, you will not need to obtain a new certificate, it will be extended automatically for 3 years, and information about this will be updated in the electronic database of the state traffic safety inspectorate. for those planning to travel abroad, i would recommend getting a license. international standard, and the license period, which expires in the twenty-fourth to twenty-fifth year, would be better to exchange for a new certificate. and finally, in the fall there will be a change that can fairly be called reform. on september 1 , the regulations for the placement of photo and video recording systems will come into force, according to which their installation will be possible only near pedestrian crossings, in places prohibited for stopping, in emergency areas and where repairs are taking place. also cameras will record violations on

roads with... accidents. a warning sign about the camera will be installed no less than 150 m from the control zone. and , as before, driving according to the rules and concentrating on the road will save you from a fine. next week, senators will consider the development of unmanned aerial systems for the needs of the forestry complex. the topic of low-carbon energy development and renewable energy production will be discussed. doroda will discuss the development of the digital ruble system and digital financial assets as objects of civil law. see you in a week. see you on the senate program.
