let's translate from official language into understandable language. it's not that scary. if there are instructions. palestinian president mahmoud abbas will arrive in russia this evening. tabas' visit to our country was planned a long time ago. on the first day of his arrival, the palestinian leader will lay flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier in moscow. and on tuesday, he expects to meet with

vladimir putin. the main topic of discussion, of course, is the situation in the middle east, the escalation of the israeli-palestinian conflict. the palestinian ambassador to our country, abdel hafiz nafal, noted that palestine with has special respect for russia and expects cooperation with moscow on issues of conflict resolution. let me remind you that before this, the personal meeting of the leaders of the two countries took place 6 years ago in february 2018. then , too, they discussed the formation of a new... to a greater extent, counts on moscow's support in supporting, in fact , palestinian initiatives concerning, concerning the creation of a palestinian state, the formation of a government of national unity, which can act on behalf of all palestinians, which will include both fatah and

hamas, and of course, these steps, they may push the israeli side to more, perhaps some steps aimed at finding, reconciliation. on the eve of his visit to moscow, abbas gave a long interview to tas. according to the palestinian leader, a stable, stable, safe situation in the middle east can only be achieved by creating two sovereign states, an arab and... but this is impossible so far, as long as israel is in power, i quote: an extremist government that does not believe in peace and puts itself above international law. nevertheless , however, according to mahmoud awas, palestine is ready for an international peace conference, which will settle all aspects of its final status. but hamas does not intend to talk, at the very least, the radical movement has refused to take part in gas negotiations with israel. but i will remind you that on august 9, the leaders of egypt, qatar and the united states published a local statement, in

which they called on israel and hamas to resume negotiations on a ceasefire in the gaza strip on august 15 in doha or cairo. one of the reasons refusal, as the american news portal axios, which quotes hamas's statement, believes, is the assassination of hamas political leader ismail haniyeh by israel and the recent israeli airstrikes in the gaza strip. the situation is teetering on the brink of scaling up the conflicts.

would be drawn into a regional war. after haniyeh's death on july 31, the situation in the middle east has sharply worsened. new reports of an imminent iranian strike on israel have begun to appear one after another. tel aviv has responded to this with threats of an unprecedented response. the day before, it became known about an attack by the shi'id militia hezbollah on the command post of the israel defense forces in the border region of ga'aton. in the north of israel, at least 30 rocket launches were recorded from the territory. this was reported by the army press service. according to the idf , there were no reports of casualties. a representative of the press service of the israel defense forces stated that all army units are on full combat readiness. but our middle east correspondent, alexander belibov. alexander, hello, what is the situation in the region? yes, colleagues, hello, but the situation in the middle east. remains extremely

tense, and forecasts regarding its normalization, at least in the near future, are disappointing, but first of all , the conflict in the gaza strip is flaring up with renewed vigor, and the arson of the cities and social facilities, civilian facilities of the palestinian enclave, which are not distinguished by their selectivity, here is one of such strikes, the most resonant, perhaps, in recent times happened last weekend at the ottabain school in gaza, the israeli air force fired three rockets, as a result, according to the palestinian health service, more than 100 people were killed, most of whom were women and children, more... 60 palestinian civilians were injured, but i will add that this was far from the only strike in the last few days by the israel defense forces on the gaza strip, a number of strikes were also recorded on refugee camps located in the north of the palestinian enclave, as well as in the south in area of ​​the city of hanyounis, and meanwhile in

idf, and i beg your pardon, in hamas , a new head of the politburo was elected, it was yahya sinwar, who previously headed the office of this movement. ismail hanei, who was considered a diplomat and a skilled negotiator, yahya sinwar is called more of a man of war and an adherent of more radical views, here in fact it is already known that at the negotiations that were to take place on august 15 regarding peace initiatives and peace initiatives for a settlement in the gaza strip, hamas will not send its delegation to the movement, they believe, that it is pointless to do this until israel begins to fulfill its obligations assumed earlier regarding the reduction of fire damage, the intensity of this fire damage in the gaza strip, but in general in the gaza strip on the ground, the affairs of the israel defense forces

are now worse than ever, for 10 months, outnumbered several times, and even more so in terms of weapons, the israel defense forces have not been able to do anything with the palestinian movement units. resistance still brigade infantry units of the idf regularly fall into ambushes by the hamas movement, while the idf is literally rushing around the alclav, sometimes winding down, sometimes starting up its operations throughout the palestinian enclave, in particular today information came that the israel defense forces is resuming part of its operations in hanunit, from where troops were previously withdrawn, thereby making the humanitarian zone, which was previously considered safe, safe... regarding what iran's response to israel will be, tehran says that it remains committed to its decision to take revenge for the death of ismail haniyeh, and in tehran on july 31

they will strike, a retaliatory strike on the territory of israel, but they are maintaining the intrigue, not stating a specific place and time when this will happen, at the same time over the past week. and the aerospace forces of the islamic revolutionary guard corps and the navy have conducted several exercises at once, so last weekend there was a mass transfer of new weapons systems to the troops, about 2,500 units of various ammunition, fire weapons were transferred to the islamic revolutionary guard corps in total defeats, in particular missiles, both ground-based and air-based, as well as a whole slew of attack drones. these shots were actively broadcast by iranian tv channels on... it is clear that they are aimed at what iran, if anything, is ready to make it clear to israel and its allies in the region, first of all, the united states, of course, about that, were primarily aimed at an external audience, so that a decisive response to any hostile actions in their direction, that is the situation now in the middle east, colleagues, yes,

alexander, thank you, our connection with the studio was middle east correspondent, alexander belibov. yes, well, now we move on to the news agency feeds, where messages with the lightning mark are received. with a link to the investigative committee of russia on the investigation of criminal actions of the armed forces of ukraine in the kursk region. so, as part of this investigation , facts of encroachment on the lives of civilians and civilian objects are recorded, and here there are some very important details that the investigative committee draws attention to. the messages come with a link to the official representative of the investigative committee committee svetlana petrenko, who says that the ukrainian side is actively using small arms in the kursk region.

now the investigators already have specific names and surnames of those people who are responsible for the movement of combat groups, and the investigative committee also records the fact of a deliberate encroachment by the armed forces of ukraine on the lives of civilians in the kursk region. today we have seen confirmation from the testimony of even a prisoner, who says that a direct order was given to shoot civilians, and in particular there was information about that they also shot at the monastery employees, it is confirmed by the investigative committee, the ukrainian armed forces servicemen opened fire on civilians evacuating from the belogorsk monastery. many messages come from... the russian federation committee will further expand on its attitude to what is happening

now in the kursk-belgorod regions. we will return to this topic, for now we will move on to advertising, we will return in a few minutes with new news. giving 30 gb every month when transferring a number is normal. that's why we give sbermobile pash, look what magic, yes 35% cashback for everyone, as you found out, the most important thing, they won't work for me, apply for a debit card with 35% cashback on everything most important, gazprombank, sale, where did you buy a megamarket, school style, buy a women's shirt.

russia must ensure its technological sovereignty in the field of photonics. the government has already supported a series of studies. well, about what developments are being carried out by scientists today, in an exclusive interview with our tv channel , the director of the russian federal nuclear center in sorov, valentin kostyukov, told us. valentin efimovich, hello, hello, thank you very much for finding time in your busy schedule, especially since today is a special day for you, let me congratulate you on your 75th birthday, i

will hardly be mistaken if i say that the nuclear center played a huge role in your life, probably as well as... but science and technology do not stand still, many problems are being solved in the peaceful atom. please tell us more about these projects? i want to transfer you to that period, distant, the end of the forties, the beginning of the fifties, when the magnificent the school of physicists of the soviet union entered into a rather serious... struggle with the entire world physical science, then under the leadership of vasilyevich kurchatov the atomic project was realized, already, as you know, here is the beginning of the fifties, these are already new projects that concerned atomic energy, and this is certainly inspiring, therefore in our current activities, not

only the russian federal nuclear center, but also the nuclear weapons complex rosama, of course the specialty of... certainly used within the framework of our the main mission, within the framework of civilian areas, these are physical schools, these are computing schools, these are various kinds of questions that are related to the use of seriously create serious groundwork, which new discoveries, including fundamental science, i will give one example, when

those physical foundations of lasers were discovered, yuli borisovich gathered scientists said: the vision of our founding fathers, who had such courage to declare about the issues of applying the latest scientific discoveries not only from the point of view of our main missions of armament of military equipment, but also civil directions. of course, in this part we are talking about issues that are connected first of all with energy, with a new generation

of energy, with a powerful laser installation and those problems with thermonuclear fusion that today... are in the world, of course, today we also understand the importance of large calculations based on huge machines of enormous productivity, because they are the basis of development, the basis for the creation of new technologies, the basis for the development of a new generation of technology, today everything is aviation space, issues related to fuel efficiency...

how to get rid of that problem that constantly worries everyone, here it flew, how far, how close, how big is it, how will the earth suffer from this

part, this is not the realm of fantasy, no, this is not the realm of fantasy, this is a normal movement forward, you have already mentioned, of course, and supercomputers, the president sets the task of increasing their total capacity by 203, how do you think, how possible is this, when we are asked, well, what do you... what for you these big calculations why do you need to spend quite serious money on their implementation? well, of course, they came out first of all from the fact that in the nineties nuclear weapons tests were banned and we switched to computational and experimental methods, and for these computational and experimental methods very large computing power is needed, in today's part, starting from ninety -one two.

united states. speaking about computational methods, yes, today we have come to a very unique situation, when, of course, the creation machines are closely connected with the level of development of microelectronics and the task is to increase. our own capabilities, today we have put forward a proposal, it was supported by the country's leadership, about creating new generation machines, which are based not only on issues related to the element base, with electronics, but also with light, photon electronic machines, which we are currently working on, the next direction is already quantum technologies, quantum computers, which will come in some time. and which will give a new a surge in these computational capabilities, that is , this is a significant reduction in the time and creation of new products, costs , most importantly, costs that are mainly associated

with the manufacture of experimental samples with their certain number of tests, which can be significantly reduced, so the computational capacities are clear, whoever wins in mathematics will win in the world, and we have a chance, do we? we absolutely have such chances, we have one of the largest mathematical departments at the institute of theoretical and mathematical physics, and we we have our own school, our own school together with the nuclear center in the scientific and technical physics institute form the basis of all those achievements that exist in this area in the russian federation, that is , supercomputer technologies, they are absolutely in demand, the last visit was in may... there is the prime minister, where we reported and asked him for an order to create a program for the development of photonics, which also implements a fairly serious

niche in this area, and what is most important is that today we are ready to implement this in terms of technology directions within the russian federation, this is the most important, yes, please tell us about that program in a little more detail, well , the photonics program is being developed... issues of creating individual devices, equipment in the areas of medicine, in the areas of industry, in the areas of space, and space as spacecraft itself , as well as navigation equipment, which today are absolutely necessary for... this area, this program, today, successfully combines investment from business and the state, the state finance the initial issues in the field

of technology and materials. and business finances the issue of creating a product, we are currently finishing the approval of this program, in the near future we will submit it to the government for consideration of approval, look at how fast the ideas are moving, in may we proposed a program, and i hope that in september we will approve it. you have already briefly touched on this issue, personnel, to what extent the nuclear center is provided with young personnel, and i know that your team is quite young, i should note that, of course, our average age is 43 years old, within the framework of the implementation of this part, we take about 250-300 young specialists in sixty specialties every year, from the point of view of engineering personnel, this is the cooperation that we rely on, this is primarily cooperation of universities in the volga region, universities in siberia, partly in moscow and st. petersburg, the key here is, of course, the moscow mifi. and

its soros branch sarft, which was actually formed together with mifi, at certain stages of the atomic project. you noticed, in the abbreviation of the national center of physics and mathematics, we took the direction of physics and mathematics. these are the remote territories near sorov, this is the opportunity to participate in experimental installations, those that we have today, which we use within the framework of our main mission, we ...

short terms of the implementation of this project in a country that was destroyed by war - this is a feat, this is a scientific feat, this is a labor feat, you see this wall, here are recorded from forty-ninth year all those people who received state awards for their work in this area, i bow to the will, the talent of those people who implemented this project, the admiration

of the scientist, the scientist... who implemented the thermonuclear project and who then , in fact, at all stages of this confrontation, gave adequate answers and today give these answers within the framework of their implementation, today we state that this parity, it is absolute, if not to say more, that we have certain surprises, an advantage, well, i would say so called here a surprise for the enemy. you also went through a difficult path, from engineer to director, what tasks did you set for yourself at the beginning of this path, did you achieve them? a very interesting question, well, of course, remembering the completion and receipt of education and arrival at the ministry of medium machine building, of course, each stage of life he set new tasks for himself, each stage set new challenges.
