republika srpska, bolivia and zimbabwe. and on june 6, negotiations will take place with the leaders of the seventh, in addition to speaking at the plenary session, the russian president will meet with representatives of a women's business organization. by the way, today it remains a mystery who exactly will moderate the plenary session, and the kremlin itself has not yet revealed the name, as the press secretary of the head of state dmitry peskov said, he will be named closer to the seventh. let's talk about the guests of the st. petersburg economic forum: high-ranking officials from belarus, abkhazia, south ossetia, kyrgyzstan, azerbaijan, kazakhstan, iran, myanmar, cuba, vietnam, sudaan, well, in general, the list is extremely long. honorary status of the country sultanataman received guests this year. the presidents of zimbabwe and bolivia will arrive. a visit from the leaders of the international organizations cis, odgb and opec is expected. ministers from african countries also announced their participation. latin america, the arab world and

eastern europe. the st. petersburg economic forum will, of course, be actively responded to by russian foreign media; to date, about 4,500 journalists have been accredited to the summit. applications came from 52 countries. well , let’s talk about safety; during the forum, a ban on use of personal mobility devices. the city authorities announced this: electric scooters, hoverboards, segways, and unicycles will be removed from the street. there will be a ban. until june 8 in the admiralteysky, central, vasileostrovsky, moskovsky, petrogradsky and pushkinsky districts of st. petersburg. the organizers also reported that the it infrastructure of the pmf is protected from hacker attacks. experts successfully tested the system and were convinced of its invulnerability. and of course, according to tradition, cultural and entertainment will be an addition to the business program part. as part of the forum, the st. petersburg season festival will be held and it will be opened by a concert by a russian piano school and masters. our

future, in the state, all this will be in the state academic chapel, for the participants and guests of the forum there will be excursions to the armitage, the russian museum, tsarskoye selo, peterhof, and the mariinsky and alexandrian, alexandrian theaters will present ballet and opera performances. on other topics, the united states authorities did not allow their citizen, former marine scott ritter, who wanted to fly to russia, to leave the country. our correspondent knows why this happened. emil, hello, again, emil, hello, but perhaps the news that we will remember when we talk about american democracy, which, as you know, they spread around the world, is what scott ritter told you about? yes, colleagues, greetings again, our interlocutor, to put it mildly, is shocked by washington’s decision, but first things first. the us authorities went against their own constitution when...

this is a violation of due process, a violation of my constitutional right to travel under the fifth amendment of the constitution. customs border patrol does not have the authority to simply confiscate my passport without legal grounds, as per procedure they must notify me of the grounds on which they are confiscating my passport. they didn't do it, it's just a blatant violation of the rule of law by the united states government.

usa 21 days before this trip, i'm not trying to sneak out of the country or do anything inappropriate, especially since i've been to your country twice in the last year. scottritor first i had to fly to istanbul, and then transfer to a flight to st. petersburg. in the northern capital, the expert planned to take part in person at the international economic forum, which starts tomorrow. i was scheduled to speak on two panels related to politics and geopolitics: one on june 6, the other on the seventh, in addition to numerous interviews with the media, as well as discussions with russian officials and experts on the sidelines of the forum. the kremlin

called the incident, quote, a manifestation of another rabid campaign to in every possible way prevent us citizens from establishing at least some contacts with the russian federation.

this is one of the reasons why the government brought this experience back to the united states, the united states did not let me out of the country. let me remind you that ritter’s like-minded person and famous american journalist of conservative views, takir carlson, following the results of his winter visit to russia, published a whole series of reports about the life of the capital. the released footage shocked some viewers: it’s really not possible for russia to live so well and better west. it turned out that it can, and how? it’s not that it’s not necessary for this american audience to know, it’s just considered harmful. at the state department, especially before the november presidential election, where biden's chances of winning are slim. ritter himself said that in the next 24 hours he would do everything to reach the gas department and understand the situation. nevertheless , he most likely will not have time to attend the st. petersburg economic forum, at least in person. the passport was never returned and

is in the custody of us customs. in this this week the central bank will hold its next key meeting. last time, the board of directors of the bank of russia discussed the possibility of raising the rate to 17%, but decided to keep it at 16%. this time , experts are confident that an increase scenario is more likely. christina kuruma will tell you the details. the key rate may add 1%. this conclusion was reached by 10 out of thirty experts interviewed by rbc. on june 7 , a meeting of the board of directors of the bank of russia will be held. analysts' expectations are relative. levels are divided, but a decline is expected an overwhelming minority. following the results of the last meeting on april 26, the central bank kept the rate at 16% for the third time in a row. according to analysts, this is a record high level in recent years. if we look at how the rate affects the economy, first

of all we can say that the rate increase has already fully affected savings activity, because the growth rate of funds on deposits is now at their current rate. at local peaks, at levels that we also have not seen for a long time, while it is clear that the flow into deposits already occurs both from foreign exchange instruments and even from availability. this is a rather rare event, that is, savings activity responded to the rate in full. the influx of money on deposits in russian banks in the first quarter of this year amounted to almost 2 trillion rubles. amid fears that the regulator will raise the key rate, some banks have increased deposit rates. according to the monitoring of the central bank in the ten largest banks in may of this year, the maximum rate on deposits did not change significantly and amounted to 14.95%. regarding the growth rate lending. the growth of the corporate and retail portfolios remained approximately at the level of march; as of may 1, the volume of loans to legal entities

amounted to 77.4 trillion rubles, while the volume of the retail portfolio amounted to 35.4 trillion rubles. the increase was due to loans to a limited range of industries, such as project financing for housing construction, the energy, transport sectors, telecommunications, as well as the implementation of projects on the part of government contract executors; in these conditions, tightening the monetary policy may have some effect on inflation, but most likely it will be limited, but at the same time, the costs in terms of investment, in terms of cooling the economy as a whole, may be too high. according to experts, the benefit of raising the key rate is evidenced by high inflation, which is growing despite a tight monetary policy. according to the forecast of the ministry of economic development, by the end of this year the figure will be 5.1%, although in september

last year the department estimated annual inflation at 4.5%. according to rosstat, as of may 27 , annual inflation was at 8.15%. in may, russians' inflation expectations rose for the first time since the beginning of this year to 11.7%. this is after 11% in april, the central bank reports. our second half of the year will technically be less pro-inflationary than the first, and in order to raise the rate now, there is no weighty justification, but if the central bank wants to break the bank lending model now on unsecured loans, the rates need to be raised much higher, that is , quickly, that is, for example, in two steps go down to 20%, that is, twice 200 basis points, but again this is quite serious load. for the corporate sector, this is not very, let's say, there will be popular

ideas, popular steps. currently, analysts are considering two main scenarios: maintaining the key rate at 16% and increasing it to 17%. the final decision of the board of directors of the bank of russia will depend on weekly data on inflation and loans, as well as on the inflation expectations of russians. the central bank meeting is scheduled for june 7. to complete the energy transition , europe urgently needs the lite deposits. the largest of them are located in donbass. it was there that journalists from the german tv channel zdf were spotted. what was filmed and why? anton potkovenko tried to figure it out. shevchenkovskoye lithium deposit on the border of the dpr with the zaporozhye region. according to experts, it is the largest in europe. iruda is very rich, says vladimir lobyntsev, head of the main department of geology of the dpr. comes here. film crew of the german tv channel zdf, they were very interested in the development of this deposit, the possibility

of purchasing this product, this metal, whether we will mine it and whether we will to sell outside the republic, well , they were interested in the reserves of the deposit, technical issues, the quality of the ore, what the cost of obtaining the metal, beneficiation of the ore would be, here is the appeal of the moscow representative office of the cdf to the press service of the head of the dpr in january of this year, including a request for assistance in filming

they have been making similar statements even for months, i think they want to convince people of the need to adhere to an anti-russian policy, at least out of economic interests. member of the bundestag kisivetter said at the end of that year that the largest lithium deposits in europe are located in the donetsk-lugansk region. he doesn’t seem to be very versed in political geography, but what germany is still counting on is our lithium. firstly,

they can analyze whether it is necessary to defend ukraine, whether it is necessary to give it to it? counting on the fact that maybe they will take away supposedly these territories from russia, then the germans will demand to give them, accordingly, there is a deposit of the same lithium, the second more realistic scenario, they germans can analyze what will happen next from the point of view of cooperation with russia after the conflicts, even if there was a german politician who was ready to hint about cooperation with russia now, he would be immediately pecked out in the west, so the visit of the cdf film crew is like a kind of industrial intelligence under the guise of journalistic activity in our rear. anton potkovenko, news. well, now to the video, which is now being theorized on social networks, in particular in various telegram channels, appears in moscow during repairs, part of the lighthouse collapsed

mines, here we see an employee, apparently a worker, who... come from perm, a teenager died from a lightning strike while fishing in the perm region, the fact of the death of a child in 2009 during a thunderstorm from a lightning strike was confirmed. the investigative committee is conducting an investigation. it is known that the boy and his father were fishing on the kama river, in one of the areas. for now, on to other news.

the issue of ceasefire in the middle east is again. on the agenda of the un security council. the states circulated another draft resolution with a plan for a peaceful settlement. american diplomats believe that the initiative will receive support from the palestinian hamas movement. negotiations on the release of hostages and a truce in the gas sector start today in cairo. meanwhile, there is an air raid alert in northern israel. as a result of the shelling , fires broke out there and the fire reached residential buildings. report from our own middle east correspondent, alexander belibov. literally, hundreds of hectares of land are engulfed in flames in the upper galilee. the rampant fire led to the closure of several highways. in kirya shmane fire reached residential buildings. the reason for the large-scale fires is the sharp increase in the number of shellings from lebanon over the past few days. the day before , the hazbal movement announced that it had launched a squadron of drones against the positions of israeli troops.

fragments of interceptor missiles, after falling to the ground, become sources of more and more new fires in the area. which increases every hour. from the gaza strip, where the military operation against hamas has been ongoing for almost 8 months, bitter news for all of israel. four more hostages who were kidnapped on october 7 last year were officially declared dead. in tel aviv and other cities, relatives of captives, whose fate remains unknown, again and again go to rallies demanding that the authorities return their loved ones home. "i feel like they're part of my family that died today, and if we're not going to negotiate a hostage deal, there's no hope for this country. meanwhile, the israeli prime minister." had to explain after reports appeared in the press that benjamin netanyahu was under pressure in his office after the appearance of the american ceasefire initiative. we are working on everything

possible to get our hostages back. i constantly think about them, i constantly think about their families, about their suffering, that is why we have come this long way to bring them back, but in the process of these actions we have not forgotten the main purpose of the war.

egypt, which now controls the army unit. their troops from the territory land corridor, the egyptian foreign ministry said, emphasizing that full responsibility for the humanitarian crisis in gaza lies with the israeli side, which , however, does not intend to change anything. alexander bilivov, dmitry sherbakov and evgeny samsonov, lead the middle east. in german bavaria, the ancient 19th-century falkenstein castle partially collapsed. the fortress wall collapsed, the stones rolled down to the buildings located below. it was reported that the cause was bad weather. several days in the region the torrential rain continued in a row. i will add that in a number of bavarian regions precipitation led to floods. several major cities,
