low rating and so on and so forth yes , everyone is talking about his physical infirmity, if he now still agrees with the republican model of reducing government spending, he will completely cross out his prospects for re-election. and if kevin mccarthy makes concessions to biden, then they will exclude kevin mccarthy himself because he once made a deal with the extreme right representatives of the republican party in the house of representatives, this situation is really extremely difficult, i will add to this that the problem of the us public debt is systemic and strategic. she's just unsolvable. that is, it can be postponed for later, yes, and then again for later, but fundamentally this problem will not go anywhere, so ddlo, the implementation and collapse of american hegemony are irreversible. let's turn the word over to the news now and see you at 4:50 pm.

in the opposite case, only mutual assistance, support and help from brothers in arms contributes to the fulfillment of the assigned tasks clearly and harmoniously, it is a special honor for me today to be in the same ranks with those who received their awards for their exploits on the battlefield today, when the western nazism showed its true face to the world. great-grandchildren, grandchildren of those who during the second world war also defended us on the battlefields , they began to protect not only innocent people, but also humanity. russia focuses on dynamic, developing markets and is open to investors from friendly states. and mikhail mishustin said this today, even after an official visit to china, attention to events is riveted, heightened, given the special nature of relations between the two countries, meetings with the leadership

of the prc are scheduled in beijing tomorrow well, until shanghai busy business program, not their details by anton vernitsky. i confess the activity of russian-chinese contacts is so intense that mikhail mishustin was sure that he often visits china, although, in fact. after being appointed prime minister in 2020, this is his first delegation visit here. naturally, before that, they had been talking about agreements, as the indicator for april alone , china’s exports to russia grew by more than 150%, but such a large-scale landing of the heads of russian regions, ministers, businessmen , was not here, perhaps, at the beginning of the pandemic, the russian-chinese business forum in shanghai, which closed all borders, where mikhail mishustin arrived today, brought together more than a thousand participants, the main topics of discussion at once at several round tables transport. cooperation in the digitalization industry cooperation in agriculture and natural energy last year. russia was subjected to an unprecedented

scale of sanctions pressure; its goal was to break ours. dwarf collapse the national currency provoke devastating inflation hit the standard of living of ordinary citizens nothing of what our ill-wishers dreamed of happened. we not only exhibited, but continue our progressive development, i am sure that the deepening of russian-chinese interaction and the expansion of cooperation will also have a positive impact on strengthening the economies of both our countries china is using the removal of anti-covid restrictions with might and main -the same for 2 years of the pandemic, the global economy. noticeably sank by organizing this business forum, china is trying, first of all , to revive its economy and russia with its huge market, which was under sanctions under the pressure of the so-called collective west, a partner even more than a strategic partner. our task is to build a new

system of world settlements without the dollar without the euro. of course, without china, there is no getting around here. whether it will be a currency within the framework of the brix or a bilateral one, today we already know 70% of trade between russia and china and we carry out more than 190 billion dollars in rubles and in yuan and yuan can be used for settlements with other countries with third parties, so here all very big potential to cooperate very big potential to work in within the framework of the forum, mikhail mishustin just met with the president of the new development bank briks, this is his first meeting made by my sef. after her appointment to this position, they headed the bank. and in a difficult time , the period of transformation of the world trade economic financial system, we are convinced that the restart of the bank, which you started , will be successful and this will allow it to adapt its work to international realities to successfully withstand the modern challenge. russia

has stood by the brix bank and has always played a key in its formation. i would like to emphasize that the bank is set to fulfill its obligations to all members of brazil , russia and india and south africa, the head of sberbank said that the share of reciprocity is in national currencies. between our countries will only grow so this year, he expects a tenfold increase in settlements in yuan compared to 202 sberbank cooperation with china e. here is the transition to mutual settlements in national currencies. is this a quick process or is it already underway? it is coming, but it will be gradual, of course, as sberbank feels quite well here in china comfortably, there is some progress after this forum, perhaps, i hope so, including meeting with our partners with various regulators, so i hope that there will be progress, and the chinese are not afraid of some sectional e-things from the collection back

certainly careless, because the largest financial institutions operate in international markets. they. naturally, they are afraid of falling under sanctions, so creative methods for solving this problem are required , let's say there are such methods. i think yes the story that china is trying to curtail all contacts with russia, allegedly fearing western sanctions, already began to pedal in relation to themselves in the west, as soon as they learned that mikhail mishustin was carrying an impressive delegation of businessmen with him, but it turned out that our partners are calculating various options for responding to the threat of sanctions. of course, we will try to build relationships with the chinese side in such a way as to minimize their risks in terms of secondary sanctions and in general , direct sanctions that have already been introduced, including on chinese companies, but we do not have the feeling that the chinese are slowing down in china are well aware that it is impossible to build a multipolar world about which vladimir putin speaks alone, and here xi jinping's revealing words during his farewell to the russian president in the kremlin after

completing his visit to moscow 2 months ago, giving understanding . why even need this forum? how does change happen that wasn't over there? where to move in minsk while in moscow, sitilpin invited mikhail mishustin to visit as soon as possible, china, after all, the pandemic pause affected the contacts of businessmen, not for the better , the leaders of our countries, vladimir vladimirovich putin, and sitting singing , a joint statement was made that determines strategic priorities for interaction in the medium term. the task was set to significantly increase the scale of bilateral trade, improve logistical connectivity, increase the level of financial and industrial cooperation, strengthen energy partnership, and expand cooperation. in the field of technology

of innovation, the identified benchmarks will allow finding growth points for entrepreneurs in russia and china, and this is a clear signal to all business in shanghai at the forum russia brought more than 80 investment projects worth $ 160 billion , some of them are still in the negotiation stage , some will be launched in the very near future ceo avtovaz, for example, told us about the new lada, which will be presented in a few days very soon, literally on the sidelines of the st. petersburg economic forum , the first joint production will be opened, and frets with chinese manufacturers to assemble our domestic ones. cars under the lada brand at the former nissan plant now it already bears the name lada in st. petersburg, we will meet at the st. petersburg economic. come and show you our new lada among the topics discussed, so necessary, both for china and our country, new transport routes from asia to europe

, the chinese call it the one belt one road strategy, but in fact there are several routes from asia to europe through russia, what clearly visible on this map. at the same time, mikhail mishustin suggested that china use the shortest northern sea route, it is clear that it is important for the chinese to deliver their goods faster and cheaper. china remains russia's largest partner for the last 13 years . progress in the construction of cross-border infrastructure is already visible, but there are some unresolved issues. we look forward to joint action. in the spirit of mutual benefit to unlock the potential of cross-border transfers. it was the first day of a two-day visit to china by mikhail mishustin at the invitation of the seats. today he managed to visit the shanghai scientific research institute of petrochemicals, and sometime in the sixties , acrylic fabrics, a novelty of those years, began to be produced here. now complex polymers are being made here, and they are also ready to cooperate with russia. in addition, mikhail mishustin held a separate meeting with russian businessmen forum participants in shanghai anton vernistsky dmitry cherry

sevastyanov rudakov channel one shanghai china in response to the anti-russian policy of poland, the state duma today adopted a draft appeal to to the government, in which the deputies propose to ban the transit of polish heavy trucks through the territory of russia , it will be possible to drive only from the border to the nearest customs terminals in order to reload goods, in addition, it is proposed to set the cost of fuel for them at the level of prices of the european union, these measures noted in the state duma became a response to actions the polish authorities who close russian schools, as at the end of april in the russian embassy in warsaw and are trying to eradicate history. poland's budget losses if this decision is made will amount to 8.5 billion euros. this is a serious part of the budget. and we are making this decision again.
