let us tell you how this day is remembered in history. right now, hello! on april 16, 1871 , berlin was proclaimed the capital of germany. on the same day , the constitution of the german empire was adopted. this was the result of the struggle of prussian chancellor otto von bismarck to create, on the basis of all the diverse german states, kingdoms, duchies, principalities, a single strong country led by prussia. the german empire is also called the kaiser's germany or... the reich.

the prussian king welhelm ii became emperor or kaiser. since then berlin remained the main german city. after the second world war, for a long time it was divided into western and eastern. for almost 30 years, the symbol of the division of germany was the berlin wall, erected by the authorities of the gdr and passing through the entire city. after the unification of the country, berlin, no longer without a wall, became its capital. since the 13th century, the bear has been the symbol of the city. according to some versions, the name is berlin. may come precisely from the german word "ber" bear. on april 16, 1932 , the first b2 televisions in the soviet union were released, named after their inventor, soviet engineer anton breidbert. then the so-called mechanical, small-line television was born. and that device was a device with a nipkova disk. an image measuring 16x12 mm

consisted of thirty lines; in order to examine it, a magnifying glass was built into the body, but even with it the image was enlarged to a size of 3x4 cm and practically only one person could view the picture in such a tv; tv b2 was produced in leningrad at the oldest russia radio engineering plant named after kazitsky, about 3.00 pieces were produced in total, a detailed description of b2 was printed in a magazine for radio amateurs so that people could assemble them for themselves, regular transmissions of mechanical television came from moscow already from the thirty-first year through radio uzel, but already in the thirty-eighth in sovetsky the union began broadcasting electronic television, and completely different televisions received it. on april 16, 1947 , the term “cold war” was officially used for the first time, and it stuck for many decades. the term itself for a few. before this, it was invented by the writer

george orwell, but at the official level it was first used by bernard baruch, an adviser to us president harry truman. speaking to members of the south carolina house of representatives, baruch used this expression to describe the confrontation between the usa and the ussr. the contradictions between the capitalist west and the socialist bloc led by the soviet union began with the adoption in the united states of the truman doctrine aimed at containing the ussr. the world was divided into two fields. the cold war between washington and moscow began to gain momentum revolutions, accompanied by an arms race, primarily nuclear. this confrontation began to lose its urgency only in the mid-eighties, with mikhail gorbachev coming to power in the ussr. on april 16, 2003 , forty-year-old michael jordan played his last nba game. playing as an attacking defender, jordan became an olympic champion twice and is still considered. basketball player in history, he

did a lot not only to popularize basketball throughout the world, but also ensured that basketball began to be perceived as prestigious game, big money came into it. jordan was the first to become a billionaire athlete, and is still listed by forbes as the highest paid athlete in history. if we translate everything he earned at today’s exchange rate, the amount will exceed $2 billion. in many ways, jordan is a success. there was his unique explosive style of play with high starting speed and the ability to change the pace of the match at the right moment. plus his incredible jumping ability, which earned him the nickname - his airiness. the original is air jordan. but as a child, little michael was not even accepted into the school basketball team the first time due to poor physical fitness. but a year later, the strong-willed jordan corrected this shortcoming and was accepted. like this. this day

in history. april 16. a memorable date in the military history of russia. on april 16, 1945 , the berlin strategic operation began. the battle of berlin was the culmination of the great patriotic war. the assault was carried out by the forces of the second belarusian front marshal rokosovsky, the first belarusian front marshal zhukov and first ukrainian front marshal konev. after only 5 days, our advanced units reached the northern and southeastern outskirts of berlin.

hello, the parliamentary hour program is on air, we will tell you about the main events of the state duma this week. deputies called on the ministry of construction to sort out the tariffs for servicing gas stoves and water heaters. in almost all regions, the cost of servicing gas equipment is rising. the head of the bank of russia reported to the state duma. if

we had not raised the key rate, inflation would have been much higher. what questions to elviriulina. the deputies recommended that the regulator pursue a monetary policy aimed at... maintaining price stability. great water has come to russia. san, unfortunately, this is your home. very bad. deputies are working on the ground and analyzing the reasons. if some kind of trouble happens in our constituencies, we need to be with the people and help them. debts must be repaid, but not collected. in 2019 , the state duma banned housing cooperatives and resource-supplying housing cooperatives from managing companies. organizations to transfer debts for housing and communal services collectors. now the level of protection has been increased. administrative punishment is a fine of 100,000 rubles. up to 700,000 rub. everything will be right here. for the first time, the country receives a complete verified source of ideas about

all the norms of the modern russian language. who and how creates the national vocabulary fund. there are errors in this automatic recognition. this needs to be corrected by the person. as well as support for the space industry, development of cooperation within the framework of brix, the law on fair pay for overtime and other topics further in our program: to protect the real incomes of russians and support the economy under sanctions, the tasks have been completed, the peak of inflation has passed, the head of the central bank elvira nabiulina reported to the deputies. chairman of the state duma vyacheslav volodin drew attention. the regulator on the conditions for purchasing housing and high mortgage loans, when they plan to reduce the key rate and what assessment the state duma gave to the work of the central bank for the year, maria burkova will tell you.

join efforts and work out measures to increase housing affordability for citizens, proposed by the chairman of the state duma to deputies, the bank of russia and the government. this topic is one of the central ones during the chapter's report. the opportunity to purchase housing through a preferential, regular mortgage, but would not fall into bondage, when he has to work all his life for a mortgage, paying it off for many years, the deputies also agree with the chairman, it is necessary to reconsider the approaches to preferential mortgage

lending, the variety of support programs does not has made housing more affordable and the mortgage bubble is gradually inflating. last year's income bank of russia reached almost... 860 billion rubles. expenses are about 720 billion. the main factor of profit is the positive revaluation of securities, for which the revaluation was negative in 2022. the main issue under discussion is increasing the key rate. the first results of this decision show that the peak of inflation is behind us. - said elvira nabiulina. the high rate of the central bank protects the incomes of citizens, and this is a direct contribution to the fight against poverty. if we had not raised the key rate, inflation would have been much higher than the 7.4% which we received at the end of last year. moreover, it would continue to accelerate now. inflation is stronger. in total, it gets into the pockets of poor people, including because prices for essential goods

accelerate first. in a certain way, the sanctions could hit; they have already begun to hit the ruble, so a necessary measure in order to stabilize the national currency, the inflation expectations of the population will decrease, and so will the rate. the main task is to carefully monitor price dynamics. emphasized the head of the tax budget committee andrey makarov. while fighting inflation, we were simultaneously able to maintain the stability of the financial system and created opportunities for that very 3.6% growth in the conditions of unprecedented sanctions. this is a huge achievement for our country, and it is truly a joint achievement. the faction leaders noted the work of the bank of russia under sanctions pressure at preliminary

meetings with elvira nabeulina. thus, vladimir vasiliev said that thanks to the coordinated work of deputies, the government and the central bank , they managed to overcome the sanctions shock and enter medium- and long-term planning phase. banks were required to return customer funds transferred without their consent within 30 days. they gave the payment system the right to suspend suspicious transfers for...

we managed to save it from scammers, but still have not yet been able to achieve a complete turnaround in this fight. the attackers managed to steal about 16 billion rubles from citizens’ accounts,” said elvira nabiulina. she suggested that the deputies look for joint solutions to this problem. we propose to increase the responsibility of banks to introduce administrative liability for banks that do not pay enough attention to the requirements for the security of transfers, so that they have an additional incentive.

spring has arrived and high water has arrived, the situation is particularly difficult in the orenburg region, thousands of houses have gone under water, state duma deputies are working in the region, the issue of eliminating the consequences of floods is being monitored by the relevant committees for safety and anti -corruption on ecology, natural resources and environmental protection - state duma chairman vyacheslav volodin said. elena zhelnina will continue. san, unfortunately, this is your home.

very bad. they find their houses on the tops of the roofs and float past, thousands of buildings have gone under water, somewhere entirely, somewhere half. residents of the apartment sector are also trapped. my yard is all in water. it’s okay, the five-story buildings there are flooded up to the windows, just up to the windows. this night. streets, a day later they begin to float on inflatable boats, then we go along the central one, now we are still walking along the central one, here

the knee is already clear, now motorboats appear on the streets. the region is in a state of emergency, the level of the ural river in orenburg reaches its maximum level in the entire history of meteorological observation in the region and exceeds the dangerous level. water is washing away the border between europe and asia. well, practically we can say that we can say that there are no roads, practically today, well, the most serious situation, all utilities and communications have suffered. the situation in orenburg and other flooded territories is discussed at a plenary session in the state duma. chairman vyacheslav volodin invites deputies to immediately go to the field and reminds,

politicians representing the orenburg region are already in their constituencies helping people. if some kind of disaster happens in our constituencies, we need to be with people, help them, and we see that now the flood situation is very difficult, alarming in a number of regions, so i am appealing to those who have not yet gone to their constituencies , you can do this immediately, just support, let’s colleagues, ask ourselves and more effectively start helping people who are waiting for... help, and of course we draw conclusions so that this does not happen in the future, today our task is to save people, so that they are safe, we will deal with property, we have

an order from the leadership of the state duma, just to see what is necessary. parliamentarians find out how and how to help on the spot: medicines, basic necessities, gas generators, motor pumps for pumping out water, drainage pumps, are purchased and given to the victims, you now need to know how, so that you formulate, specifically regarding your snt, what questions, because they will be approximately the same by analogy as everyone else, we save, people do not pass by abandoned ones. pets ministry of emergency situations joins in, although they could do something else. people, many, are sending signals that some residents simply left animals tied, chained,

living in the old house and left without them, this is a question, by the way, for the local authorities too. and why , as part of the information, did they not focus on the fact that in addition to documents, it is necessary to somehow take care of the animals, because today all this falls on the ministry of emergency situations. subject nina ostanina proposed after her visits to cancel the oge and unified state exams in flood-affected regions. she has already sent an appeal to the federal ministry. we understand the questions regarding the education of children, temporary detention centers, today they are usually located in schools, it is clear that children are in these. schools are not studying, and those who are in temporary detention centers are not studying either, high school students, ninth graders, parents, and teachers are very worried. the state duma is discussing measures that will support people; compensation should be at level. i share the indignation of the residents of the orenburg region, who today

receive a one-time compensation of 10,000 rubles. for partial loss of property. 5000 rub. and for the complete liquidation of property, well , a house that cost several million rubles. here's to you, dear comrades, as much as 1000 rubles. officials should be put in prison and they should be forced to pay normal money to people. questions about the environment, specifically about cleaning river beds. in soviet times, we had 300 dredgers. who cleaned the rivers, who opened the springs, who created normal conditions, there are 10 left and those are not working, soon not only these regions will sink, everything else. the investigative committee of russia is conducting an investigation, while the causes of the disaster are being clarified, some statements by officials are shocking, when our organization that

designed and built it declares that the cause is rodents, which allegedly dug some norms, some holes, holes there in the body of the dam, this is, of course, a mockery. meaning over the people, the president gave instructions to provide assistance to those affected by the flood. already now, according to preliminary estimates, it is clear that the damage in orenburg will amount to tens of billions of rubles. it is necessary to restore not only housing, but also urban infrastructure. elena zholnina, nikita kharaskin, yulia bordina, anna melikyan, elena bogdan. duma tv parliamentary hour. the active phase of flooding is now in 40% of regions. houses, roads and bridges were flooded. fire season is open in every second region of the country. at 11, a special fire regime was introduced. how to prevent and fight fire was also discussed at

an extended retreat of deputies state duma at the national center for crisis management of the ministry of emergency situations of russia. we have large agricultural holdings that do nothing to protect themselves from fires. and not only rural holdings, as is happening. we need to look at these questions now. this season , the first large forest fires have already been recorded, including in specially protected natural areas, and preventive measures have been taken. in the regions under our project, more than 60,000 forest fire and forestry equipment and machinery appeared. in in cooperation with the ministry of emergency situations, in recent years alone , the state duma has adopted more than 45 laws. we are ready to quickly get involved in resolving all problematic issues and come up with specific legislative ones. other response measures to all problems that arise during the operation to eliminate the consequences of floods and fires. unfair tariffs.

the state duma appealed to the ministry of construction with a request to revise the guidelines for calculating payments for servicing gas equipment. the reason was numerous complaints from citizens. details from alexander shavirin. compliance check. devices to established standards, monitoring the presence of draft in the chimney and the tightness of all connections, all this is necessary in order to prevent a tragedy with a gas leak; this is the task of service organizations. the government approved the minimum list of works back in 2013. nothing new has appeared there now, but the cost of services has increased significantly. sevastopol residents talked about this problem 2 months ago. if in september the service cost about 2,700 rubles. then in january this means that prices increase every 2 months, but what will happen in april,

there are a lot of pensioners, pensions are different and we need to take this into account, will a person with this pension be able to pay the amount even within a year, and then it can increase from 3 thousand to four to 5. at the plenary meeting, the problem was raised by alexander khinshtein, numerous requests. citizens a reason for the state duma to appeal to the ministry of construction of russia. in a number of regions, prices for maintenance and repair of gas equipment have more than doubled, and the difference the cost is not only between regions, but within one entity, between different companies that provide such services, emphasized vyacheslav volodin. in almost all regions, the cost of servicing gas equipment is rising when they begin to analyze it. situation, and conduct a dialogue, there is a reference to the methodological instructions of the ministry of construction, housing and communal services.

after a sharp jump in prices for services, service organizations unanimously refer to the methodological recommendations of the russian ministry of construction. vyacheslav volodin suggested deputies to study the document in detail. so let's study what these methodological recommendations are. they are rubber in nature; they took and immersed everything in them. and travel expenses, and office supplies, and entertainment and much, much more, in the end the costs are borne by whoever, the person. the technique made it possible to inflate the cost of services provided, this led to abuses by individual companies in a number of entities, emphasized vyacheslav volodin. the speaker of the state duma noted that the monthly cost of maintenance of intramural gas equipment increased twofold, indoor equipment increased by one and a half to three times. alexander khenshtein announced the figures. in the kaluga region and moscow region, maintenance of indoor residential gas equipment increased by 30%. voronezh from 20 to 75%.

khantamansiysk district. 51%. there is a problem, people are raising it, it really sounds very acute socially, and this problem needs to be solved as soon as possible. deputies responded to the appeal in their constituencies, but regional authorities were unable to change the norms enshrined at the federal level by the russian ministry of construction. parliamentarians noted that the problem lies in the algorithm itself for approving these documents. here the executive branch acts independently. the fact is that when... there is no limit, they have the right to set any price, any, and the document is normative, it is registered by the ministry of justice, you can go to court with it and win against a resident, and he will pay, when cost calculation methods are approved, presented to the population for payment, they cannot be accepted without

an examination and... rising prices for servicing gas equipment is not justified by anything, said deputy vladimir plyakin. it would, of course, be possible to at least somehow explain the increase in prices for these services by the fact that more employees began to inspect such equipment, but again no, the price has increased, and gas service workers, who, as practically before, were not there, so now there are no more of them, but the price, yes, the price has increased significantly several times. vladimir koshelev also proposed revising some other norms. the government excluded from its resolution the obligation gas distribution organization to carry out repairs of devices within 24 hours. imagine if a person applies to the gro, and they tell him, that is, we will consider your application within a month, and this happens in the winter. how can you respond to a call about a non-working boiler within a month? that

is, well, these things, they are absolutely. unacceptable. the head of the relevant state duma committee, sergei pokhomov, emphasized that checking gas equipment is a matter of safety and not an excuse for speculation. we sent an appeal to ministry of construction, which contains our proposals for adjusting both the methodology and price calculation formula. we believe that the ministry of construction really needs to organize this work together with interested departments. vyacheslav volodin noted that according to current standards, the ministry of construction should. will consider the appeal of the deputies and respond to it within 10 days. tariffs must be justified, the state duma speaker concluded. alexander shavyrin, anna melikyan, sergey vergunov, duma tv. parliamentary hour. watch the second part of our program. additional protection against collectors. who else was prohibited from transferring housing and communal services debts to third parties? fair pay, a new principle for calculating overtime and other laws of the week. and also

how the state duma supports it. space development. in the summer of 2021, a heated crowd appeared at the gates of the house of businessman alexander krasnov. young people threw stones at the businessman's property. they came specifically. kill, the situation escalated, the parties began to shoot at each other, chaos was happening, a shot sounded, and i felt pain in stomach, blood flowed into my head immediately that they wanted to kill us all. krasnov responded by shooting at least three times at the attackers. the investigation accused the man of premeditated murder. i used weapons, i repeat once again, i defended my family, children, home, guests. the case was transferred to the federal level. some residents of the ivanovo region still consider him a brutal killer.

i came to the investigative committee, i tell them what happened here, they look at me with such eyes, they say, this cannot happen, a man who killed an uninvited guest or a hero who saved his family, we took up this matter and carried out our investigation, stand by, who are they, new people, this is a passenger with me, a reporter, a director, i came for my brother, i am a battalion commander, call sign trigger, everyone has call signs, adam me, why? adam, chechen, i, artist, white rose, can you? can you sing sometime? is bruce alive, we don’t need names, you can’t touch her, or what, don’t touch her, it’s not yours, you, romash.
