the russian plain will soon cease to be considered a winter month? we'll talk about this in the next 20 minutes, and here are some other topics we'll touch on. discovered, that is. destroyed. the russian army is burning scarce western equipment. petriots, khaimarses, abramses, what new strategy did our troops begin to use? europeans will tear each other apart over water, and the european commission itself speaks about this, when the mediterranean could be taken over by the desert. and a brilliant solution to a pressing problem. what technology did they use in china? huge energy storage devices made of concrete blocks. you are watching the main weather program. i'm vadim zavodchenkov, hello. election voting continues in russia the president of the country. in some areas, nature tries to interfere with the expression of the will of citizens, in

others, on the contrary. it is interesting that an important political event coincided with the main climate process. more details immediately following our weather report. vivid footage of the violence of the elements from the island of paramushir, the northernmost of the islands of the great kuril ridge. on the first day of voting in the russian presidential election, the wind speed here reached 27 meters per second. a snowstorm arose on the island, visibility was almost zero, but the snowstorm did not interfere residents of severo-kurivsk must go to the polling stations through snowdrifts and icy winds. observers noted a high turnout, despite the fact that some kurel residents had to go to great lengths to vote. exits from entrances, people in the far east are accustomed to extreme weather events and treat them with humor. this funny video was posted on the official telegram channel of the city administration. another remarkable episode from the kuril islands: newlyweds maxim and marina shlykov from the north of kurilsk began life together with

manifestations of an active civic position, they immediately went from aks to the polling station. the weather in russia during the voting was very contrasting. the struggle between spring and winter unfolded in the primorye region. in the northern part of the region they walked. heavy snowfalls, while in the south it was dry and windy, gusts in some areas raised dust and fanned wildfires in others. the most favorable weather conditions during the elections were found in the south of the country. in sevastopol, on malakhov kurgan, the famous hundred-year-old almond tree, a natural monument of sevastopol, bloomed. this one of the few trees that survived the great patriotic war, in simferopol residents and guests of the city took photographs of blooming magnolias as souvenirs. the black sea coast of the caucasus is also in bloom, and sakura is blooming in sochi. swimming season is getting closer. the water in the black sea has already warmed up to 12°. last year, such temperatures were recorded only in april. in the coming days, the weather in russia will be quite contrasting ; several centers of cyclonic activity will be observed across the country. so on the russian

plain there is a solar center of high pressure attacks two cloud vortices at once. so here the highest probability of precipitation is in the northern and southern latitudes. siberia , with the exception of the extreme south, will be in the region of a stormy cyclone, carrying with it air masses warmed by the gulf stream; in the far east, frontal waves stretching from the shores of kamchatka to the spurs of the sikhotea olimya will restrain the advance of the crest of the asian anticyclone to the pacific ocean, for example, in vladivostok , weekend cloudy with clearings during the day +3.5, briefly on sunday. snow and rain, at the beginning of a new one week the probability of precipitation is expected to be small, but it will become cooler, in the afternoon +2-3, in southern siberia along with clouds and precipitation will come from now on in novosibirsk as early as sunday the daytime temperature will increase from subbotnik -3 to zero

+2, on monday-tuesday the weather will be the metropolis will get better for a while, and residents of central russia will generally experience truly april weather; in slightly cloudy conditions, the air in moscow will warm up to +7-8 only on tuesday-wednesday scattered rain showers may appear over the capital cloudiness. and the influx of solar heat to the earth's surface will decrease slightly. it must be said that such powerful warming will finally bury winter, at least in the west of the russian plain. look, last friday the meteorological spring was able to capture only the south and extreme north-west of russia, and by the middle of next week the borders of this zone will advance 450 km to the east up to the volgograd-tve line. someone will say too early, but no, this is only in the last century, the change of seasons, for example, took place in moscow

usually in the middle of the third ten days of march, but now, thanks to climate changes, winter leaves the capital almost a decade earlier, so the day is not far off when march in the center of the country will cease to be a winter month. on other topics, the russian army is in ... conveyor belt mode destroying scarce samples of nato equipment. the other day, the ministry of defense reported that another petriot installation had been knocked out; highmars, abrams, strykers and bradleys, along with their nato instructors, were being systematically disabled. what is it connected with? let’s ask evgeniy teshkovets about the dynamics of ukrainian armed forces’ losses. evgeniy, are ukrainian militants burning their reserves? vadim, it’s absolutely true that after the surrender of avdiivka, ukrainian militants. they are trying to hold back the advance of our fighters, so they are forced to transfer expensive

western equipment closer to the line of combat contact. in a report dated march 13 , the russian ministry of defense announced the destruction of another patriot anti-aircraft missile system. the installation was disabled at a firing position in the kharkov region. a few days earlier, the military the department published footage of a convoy of military equipment being hit by the iskander complex in the area of ​​a populated area. pokrovsk according to media reports , two patriot vehicles and one zerka s-300 were destroyed by a missile strike. prior to this, at the end of february, russian missile forces hit several elements of another petriot with a high-precision strike. according to the ministry of defense , the launcher, the tractor, the ammunition load, and the air defense missile transport vehicle were destroyed. the liquidation of the patriots caused a strong reaction in the western media. forbes published an article in which it was argued that under. in pokrovsky , the american air defense system was detected by a russian drone, which transmitted the coordinates to

iskander. the journalist had no idea that the installation was very close to the line of combat contact and was not covered by other air defense systems. german journalist julian röbke painted a similar picture on social network x. he also reports that the armed forces of ukraine neglected security measures. the systems were poorly camouflaged and crowded. after foreign publications, the losses were also acknowledged... by the regime, the enemy confirmed the deaths of nine trained operators of the american complex destroy two patriot launchers. the enemy realized that he was falling, they began to panic, they suffered huge losses. our military equipment and aviation deal daily powerful blows to the personnel of the ukrainian army, their equipment is hit, and their losses are catastrophic. as a result, in order not to completely collapse, they began to pull up. and combat contact, the equipment that they previously treasured as the apple of their eye. after the liberation of avdeevka,

the ukrainian front began to rapidly crumble. the vsso command is forced to plug holes in the defense with scarce western equipment, which , under the attacks of the russian military, turns into scrap metal. these shots show vivid combat episodes. here our drone notices a vampire installation camouflaged among the trees. the detection is soon followed by a successful arrival. the next video shows three helicopters. vssu, which were preparing for takeoff. first, they are covered with cluster munitions, and then a rocket flies into each helicopter. and finally, the destruction of rszzo hymers, which unsuccessfully tried hide in the forest belt. in terms of the use of high-precision weapons , a colossal step forward has been made over the past year. first of all, the time between detecting and fixing a target and striking it has been reduced. now all this is done much faster. accordingly, we see a qualitative increase in the destruction of expensive enemy equipment, including deep

behind enemy lines. between berdychi and orlovka alone, four have already been burned; there is information that five american abrams tanks. according to statistics, since the advent of these armored vehicles on the front line, ukrainian militants lost one abrams every 4 days. and this, if you don’t count the destruction of other equipment, the same bradley and stryker. all this is now burning along. the effective demilitarization of the kiev regime is the result of the painstaking work of our military. all forces of the reconnaissance and strike contour of russia were turned on at full capacity. army, the mechanism functions like a clock, detection followed by destruction. meanwhile , brussels is frightening europe with a new conflict. the european commission fears that in the coming years a war over water resources may break out between eu countries.

the mediterranean region has suffered from record droughts for several years in a row. water reserves are depleted; at what rate is the south of the european continent turning into a desert? let's ask tatyana belova. tanya, what conflicts does the european commission have in mind? vadim, european officials are talking primarily about economic wars, although already within some eu states, financial contradictions are developing into direct clashes. in france last year , farmers and environmentalists protested against government plans to create a reservoir system. in their opinion. the structure could have destroyed agriculture in the region. the rally soon turned into riots. the authorities sent more than 3,000 gendarmes to disperse the action. the crowd greeted them with molotov cocktails. law enforcement officers responded by firing rubber bullets and trace gas grenades. another internal conflict has broken out in spain - catalonia, which is suffering from

droughts, cannot agree with the country’s authorities and neighboring aragon on the use of river water resources. tensions are also growing between neighboring states, for example, berlin and warsaw are arguing over plans to expand the oder river, which divides the two countries. such disagreements are only the beginning of larger conflicts, experts say. in those regions where there is not enough water, various efforts will be made to obtain it, that is, these could be dams, these could be some kind of water intakes, as a consequence of this in other regions. this resource will become less and less, well, it’s inevitable this, of course, will lead to conflict. in fact, the european commission came to the same conclusion. in the near future , the executive body of the european union intends to publish a communiqué indicating the risks associated with the growing scarcity of water resources, in particular potential conflicts within and between eu member states

over transboundary water resources. one of the main causes of the european water crisis. record drought. in 2022 , the shortage of residues became the worst in the last 500 years. canadian geologists, having studied satellite data has concluded that groundwater supplies in europe are rapidly depleting. against the backdrop of droughts , the volume of groundwater pumping increases, but almost no moisture returns. much of it evaporates and falls as precipitation over the ocean. desertification of the mediterranean is also contributed to by global climate change. on the planet. according to a new study conducted by a team of scientists from the university of wyoming, warming in the arctic is reducing the temperature difference between the tropics and the poles, that is, reducing the latitudinal temperature gradient. as a result , atmospheric circulation weakens, which in turn leads to a decrease in the flow of moist air from the arctic to mid-latitudes and

the intensity of cyclones. this creates a serious precipitation deficit. according to the eeas estimates. approximately 17% of countries, territories, countries, here it is better to talk about territories, they, in general, are already in the zone of such critical water supply, and this concerns 11% of the population of europe, that is, this is enough, this is critical, and it is expected that in the near future this time the problem will only grow and grow. long-term forecasts are not encouraging. europeans are optimistic. the trend will continue to become drier over the coming decades. according to scientists, in the middle of the century, 17% of european residents will live in water-scarce regions, which means that they will apparently still have to fight for water. and now to technology news, high technology in every sense of the word. in

china, the first gravity storage device was connected to the power grid. very curious, because scientists from the middle kingdom have found a way to store excess generated energy without causing no harm to the environment. an innovative energy storage facility was built in rudong county, jiangsu province. the storage tank has already been put into operation and connected to the energy network of the local hydroelectric power station. looking at this energy storage facility, i just want to say that everything is ingenious, simple. a simple cubic structure, which consists of cranes that lift and lower concrete blocks, is installed next to a hydroelectric power station. storage capacity - 20.5 mw, productivity 100 mw. the essence of technology consists of using gravity in order to store the energy generated at

the gas station, it is spent on lifting heavy blocks , but if the energy needs to be extracted, then the blocks are simply lowered from a height, falling, they start the generator motor, the potential energy is converted into electricity . according to the developers of the system, its effectiveness is. 75%, that is, the drive returns a quarter less of the amount of energy spent on lifting the blocks, but for a battery of this type the result is excellent, this technology has many advantages, it simple, reliable and most importantly, without any special restrictions, it can work in any climatic conditions, even in the sahara, even in the arctic; today, gravitational storage devices are gaining popularity, for example. a project that generally involves a minimum of construction of an energy storage facility on the basis of old coal mines. all you need is a lift and

a cargo system in the form of trolleys. another important point here is the efficiency factor . how much energy, actually spent on lifting this conventional trolley up the mountain, will be generated? when descending, if it’s 75-90% there, that’s generally excellent. this is a very important , very good experiment that gives you some groundwork, some understanding of an industrial experiment that allows us to say that if this technology is really working, it works in one place, then it can be scaled up quite easily by modifying it, if it has if some shortcomings are revealed during operation, then scale it up to any country in the world. let's dwell on one more project, although it is not gravitational, it is also very interesting, and already... functioning. the first sand battery started operating in finland. a huge steel cylinder contains 100 tons of low-grade construction

sand. using electricity obtained from solar panels and windmills, the sand is heated to 500-600°. in winter, the battery releases heat, heating water for the heating system. in the future, such drives should solve the storage problem. green energy, it is no secret that alternative energy sources are unstable and highly dependent on the weather; if there is no wind or sun, generation can stop or, on the contrary, under certain conditions go off scale, initially lithium batteries were considered as a store of excess energy, but they are expensive and quite dirty, both in terms of production and in terms of disposal, except... in addition, the reserves of lithium on earth are not endless, therefore , the chinese experience is now being carefully studied in many countries; it is possible that in the near

future high-rise buildings in megacities will be built not only for housing, but also for energy storage. a weather station was opened in lugansk the most modern equipment. the old weather observation point was destroyed by shelling from... ukrainian militants back in 2014. now the station has not only been restored, but also equipped with the latest technology. at the luhansk weather site, instruments with temperature sensors are installed, including soil temperature, air humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and precipitation sensors. new computers with updated software appeared in the forecasters' offices. it is also worth noting that... in lugansk one of the oldest in russia, its history begins in 1837. re-equipment of the meteorological complex will increase the speed and accuracy

of forecasts, in which many departments are interested, primarily the ministry of emergency situations, as well as the agricultural sector of the region. the fact is that data from the lpr is extremely important; the routes of southern cyclones run through the territory of the republic. these eddies are saturated with sea moisture, so, as a rule, they bring with them a large amount of precipitation, falling either in the form of heavy rains or heavy snowfalls. according to statistics, approximately every fifth a cyclone that spoils the weather on the russian plain comes to us from the south; in recent years there have been more and more such whirlwinds. at the end of november last year, a cyclone from the balkans caused a black blizzard in moscow. an extraordinary event, it happened in the capital within 24 hours. almost half of the monthly norm of snow, snowdrifts have grown to january levels. the lugansk weather station will become part of

russia's global observation network now. our country is actively updating and creating new weather monitoring points, including automatic ones. the logic here is simple: the more weather stations, the better the forecasts. a special role is given to the development of the satellite constellation. for example, at the end of february , a new hydrometeorological apparatus meteor m number 2.4 was launched into orbit. according to roshydromet, by the end of this year... our country will completely abandon the data received from western weather satellites. and finally, the united states is facing a season of destructive thunderstorms and tornadoes. american meteorologists make such forecasts. the number of severe weather events may exceed historical levels. cataclysms are already tormenting some states. a powerful tornado struck. to agaya,

indiana and kentucky. the width of the crater was 800 m. deaths, dozens of injuries, destroyed houses and accidents on power lines were reported. the disaster destroyed a trailer park, restaurants and important infrastructure. experts in long-term forecasts believe that the increase in the number of disasters in 2024 will be associated with several factors. that's all, enjoy the weather, whatever it may be, goodbye, your brother is there in the donbass, in the aurora battalion, so alive, no one nothing

does not know. alexander mikhailov, in short , we have to go there, this is war, war, vitaly kishchenko, you understand that i don’t have dry rations for you, i don’t have weapons, get ready to fool moscow, we’ll write down your brother as missing, no, that won’t do, i’ll follow him i’ve arrived, i have to find him, markin’s hope, he looks a lot like him, sergei gorobchenko, tell him that he doesn’t have a brother, they killed him, alexi. shevchenkov, that’s where they went on reconnaissance, there were three of them, then, then i don’t know, anton shakin, that means there is still hope, there is always hope, call sign passenger, a militiaman, a passenger, becomes a full-fledged soldier of the aurora battalion. hello, i'm boris akimov, and i... and we, the creators

of the russia 2062 project of the free thought headquarters, together with experts, we are discussing how we can develop the russia of the future in the next 40 years. see you in the future.

more than 65% of russians have already taken part in the presidential elections. in the easternmost regions of kamchatka and chikotka, where voting has already ended, turnout was more than 70 and about 90%, respectively. and now my colleague, roman plyusov, joins the broadcast from the center of the electoral committee. roman, tell me.
