[000:00:00;00] and most importantly, do not forget that everything is in our hands, the state is us, in fact, you and i, and we are all people here, for such caring people there is a telegram channel stream of the popular front, there is also there are a lot of interesting stories and details that we don’t always show on air; there is an opportunity to discuss this whole matter in the comments and meet equally caring people. the code is on your screen, and then the news. hello, news on channel one, andrey ukharev is with you. and at the beginning about the scale event in st. petersburg. an international cultural forum opened there today. there is enormous interest in it in the world

, representatives of more than seven... countries have arrived, they will discuss history and modernity in culture, nine thematic blocks, including cinema, theater, museums, and a separate conversation about the influence of artificial intelligence. in addition, the forum is an even larger cultural program, many events are planned in st. petersburg. channel one correspondent konstantin panyushkin will tell you everything in detail, he joins to us live from the city on the neva. so, konstantin, we are waiting for details, what is in the program, how did the forum open? andrey, we welcome you from st. petersburg, i must say from the armitage, but actually, where else to hold an international cultural forum, this is of course not the winter palace, as you can see, we have the main headquarters, but literally through the palace square, just a few steps, and here, after the renovation, these gigantic atriums appeared and what actually allows such a large-scale event to be held here? the event is like an international cultural forum, because it is necessary to accommodate hundreds and thousands of people here, we are now in the so-called small adrium and you were talking about modern technologies, here

it is... today all sessions are devoted to this, now there is a short break, the first session dedicated to artificial intelligence has just ended, and you also see that on the screens here, in fact, are all our most modern films, in which all the most modern technologies are used, the next discussion, which is just about to begin, will talk about video games, about how russian culture is reflected in these video games and , in fact, in this way russian culture is popularized, well, i’ll note again, we are in a remitage, because here, of course, there is a suite of halls , and would like to hold sessions, we will now show you how everything works here , we move further around the museum, here no one prepared anything special, here, since the museum is holding an exhibition here, accordingly all forum participants have an opportunity to look here, enjoy art, here in this room there is painting, in the next, as you can see, sculpture, like this , moving from session to session, you can see enough, breathe in, learn something new, see something you have never seen, especially this applies to those who come to russia from abroad, and the representation

this year is colossal , this is already being talked about, the second session has begun, it is dedicated, it is dedicated to ethnocultural heritage, but of course this is not only about russia, but in a broad sense to the world ethnocultural heritage, but in order not to interfere, we move on, this, of course, is the idea of ​​​​the genius and simplicity of the organization of the form, moving from session to session, one way or another you get acquainted with the content of each of them, you heard something somewhere, somewhere i learned something, somewhere i lingered, but it all started today here, this is the so-called third courtyard, and today here at 10 am... a vibrant discussion dedicated to the theater began. here were all the top officials of the russian theatre, the international one, all the countries that were previously part of the soviet union, that is, the post-soviet space was practically fully represented here, but all our friends are from africa, asia, in fact from all continents. well, the discussion was opened by the minister of culture, olga lyubimova. i am very glad that we again have the opportunity to meet in the usual format, which we all really

missed. that this year there are so many people who want to perform in our theater block, we will discuss the experience of interaction with russian culture and its influence on the world, the development of young directing, the role of literature in the theater, the possibilities of festival exchanges are the universal language of musical theaters, he says that they haven’t met for a long time, because it all really started with the pandemic, then somehow they couldn’t meet in an international format, and the forum was just like that, and then, in general, there was also a little time moreover, now 3 years later, in 2023, the president gave instructions not only to resume the international cultural forum and hold the ninth in a row, but to reformat it, and indeed what is happening today is not only international the cultural forum, as it used to be, is what is called here in english, united culture, in russian, the forum of united cultures, if last time there were about seventy countries represented here, then

this year, well, who could, yes, despite all the political costs, more than seventy countries are represented at the forum, these are hundreds and thousands of participants, and accordingly, no one had to be persuaded, he says, to come to russia, says the director of the forum, the director of the forum, and there are a lot of our friends from france, italy, germany, uh, surprisingly, that’s it, after all, culture is soft power, no one wants to break off relations with us, on the contrary, everyone wants to participate, everyone wants to make the most of every opportunity to still be in russia and work in russia, yes, and of course, here. not yet for the sake of a meeting , here not only, you know, a discussion about some abstract things, for example, today a chinese delegation was present at the table here, they represented the chinese national theaters, so a conversation arose about what, russian culture, well, especially when we are talking about the russian ballet, for example, or the drama theater , which is well known in china, when tour tickets cannot

be obtained, but what do we know, for example, about the chinese traditional theater, how often it we are coming to see what directors and stars of the chinese theater , we know, we have agreed to eliminate this imbalance, two have arrived in russia , who will stage two performances based on modern chinese works by modern chinese playwrights with russian artists at the theater of nations in moscow, like this a unique symbiosis and the first premiere next summer, so we actually met one of the directors who will work in moscow. i am planning to stage a play for the russian theater of nations next year, we are currently holding a casting, i really wanted to take chinese history and work on it with russian actors. are different, it is indeed a big challenge, but we understand that in this new era, we must look for ways to combine the elements of the two great cultures, chinese and russian, from the combination of chinese script and russian actors should produce something

wonderful, i really want to capture this chemistry and convey it to the audience. yes, well, something else will take place in this hall today, but at the moment the work is finished, so we continue to move along the enfilade of the zalovata and move to the red hall, here it is, you see, it’s full of people here now, in fact we’re going there it’s probably not even possible to get through, there are movie talks here, a session is taking place here called shaping the image of the future, the era of great space discoveries, and it is not surprising that if the cameraman looks inside now, we will see klima shipenko there, the first director who shot a documentary feature film in space, and we see konstantin eronst and other participants in the discussion, you see bandarchuk the teacher there, well, in general, the whole world russian cinema, judging by the number of people who are here, at least from those that we saw today, but it must be said that the international cultural forum is, of course , not only the hermitage, everything that happens here, there are many more venues, and, accordingly, all the museums that organized free visits in st. petersburg are involved, well, according to quotas, please note, special hours for visiting within the framework

of the forum and theaters are naturally all involved, performances are held in the alexandrrinka, in the mariinsky theater, in the mikhailovsky and in bdt, somewhere you can get to with tickets , somewhere shows are closed to participants, but tonight there is a gigantic concert on the palace square, just before... that’s how it was laid out here many, many years ago, the ninth that we have returned to the traditions that were the cultural forum has just begun, 3 days of work are still ahead, so andrey, let's go look further, get acquainted, yes, konstantin, we are of course very interested in you today, konstantin was live from st. petersburg panyushkin from the hermitage, now about how the special operation is going, today our army dealt a new massive blow to the military in ukraine. explosions that night thundered in the khmelnitsky region, in particular in the area of ​​​​the city of konstantinov, where the airfield is located enemy, it was from here that soviet combat aircraft,

converted to carry nato missiles, periodically took off. in addition, chuguev was under attack today, as eyewitnesses write, at least eight powerful explosions occurred there, what exactly was the target is not reported, but according to some reports, these could be barracks where militants and mercenaries are located, as well as ammunition depots . the investigative committee has released further evidence of atrocities by ukrainian militants. the head of the department, alexander bostrykin, held kherson region operational meeting of the headquarters for the investigation of crimes against civilians. three leaders of armed formations have been identified who launched shelling of residential areas of donbass and another who gave orders to shoot local residents in mariupol last spring. in total, more than 180 cases were brought to court. special attention to the criminal prosecution of foreign mercenaries. we know their names, foreigners in relation to 523, what is known about them, for all of them, for all of them 523, these are belgium, denmark, great britain,

georgia, israel, italy, latvia, lithuania, usa, france, finland, netherlands case, directs the court to search for another newest missile. the avangard complex takes up combat duty in the orenburg region. the ministry of defense today released footage of a missile being loaded into a launch silo. the most complex operation takes several hours and requires special equipment. the intercontinental vanguard exceeds the speed of sound 27 times, while it is able to maneuver and overcome any anti-cancer defense. this complex is like the military says, will significantly increase the combat capabilities of our strategic nuclear forces. the chinese foreign ministry reacted harshly to the words of joe biden, who again called the leader of the people's republic of china a dictator. this is extremely erroneous and irresponsible, they said in beijing. xidinping came to the states for the ates summit and there he met with

the american president for the first time in a long time. the conversation was an attempt to overcome differences. journalists even cautiously started talking about a possible thaw in relations between the united states and china, but in the end biden himself ruined everything. and as they write, summarized the outcome of four-hour negotiations. read more about this, as well as about the program of our delegation in san francisco, mikhail akinchenko. in memory of the self-sacrifice and courage of the sailors of the russian imperial navy. modest. a memorial plaque is a sign of gratitude to our compatriots who saved the city and its inhabitants from a big fire 160 years ago, in october 1863, at this very place a russian combat squadron, six ships, was moored , who knows if they had not been here then, maybe the history of both san francisco and the united states states of america could have gone in a completely different direction. in the midst of the american civil war, it was the presence of our military. kept the confederates and the british

from attacking lincoln's supporters from the sea, the program of official participation of the russian delegation in the events of the asia-pacific economic cooperation summit began with the laying of flowers at the memorial sign. there is history, and there are russian sailors, of course, being here you can’t help but pay tribute to the memory of these people. but the current american authorities talk about the past try not to remember. these now completely different approaches, the ats format, which is not by chance called the unification of countries, is a good opportunity to try to draw attention to what countries share today. today, when the world is facing very complex global problems, and any restrictions or any kind of hindrance in the economic development of economic contacts undoubtedly negatively affects

development. we will note these issues, we are talking not only about russian-american relations, in relations between the usa and china, the difficulties are no less, the leader of the people's republic of china flew to california to solve them. biden met his guest at the filloli country estate, famous for its gardens and also for the fact that several hollywood films were filmed here. basically... geopolitical leadership, relations between china and the united states have not been smooth in the last 50 years, they have always been fraught with many problems, rivalry between the leading powers does not correspond to the spirit of our times, the biggest failures in us-china relations have happened behind last year and a half, visit of the speaker of the house of representatives. congress to taiwan led to a severance of communication channels between the militaries of the two

countries. the americans were unable to reach their colleagues in beijing at the beginning of the year when a chinese weather umbrella flew over the united states. he was eventually shot down, but joe biden was worried about what to do in the event of more serious incidents. we must be sure that rivalry does not develop into conflict. our competition must be responsible, that's what the united states strives for. during greeting words, blinken literally did not take his eyes off his boss. either he was afraid to miss even one word, or vice versa, he was afraid that biden might miss something. as china central television reported following the negotiations, beijing stands for the lifting of unilateral sanctions and an end to discrimination against chinese companies. in addition, the chinese leader reportedly demanded that the united states support china's reunification with taiwan and stop supplying arms to the island. joe biden at his press conference on this issue said not to spread further, focused on

the main achievement in the resumption of direct communication channels between the militaries of the two countries. i welcome the positive steps that have been taken, it is important for the whole world to see how we apply the best traditions of american diplomacy, we speak with our competitors in key terms, judging by the beginning of the next word, biden almost said the usual, adversary, but bit his tongue in time, however journalists still... mr. president, after the negotiations, you will continue to call the chairman a dictator, well, that’s what he is. he is a dictator in the sense that he runs a country with a communist form of government, which is completely different from us. in general, apparently, the restoration of friendly relations is still very far away. this statement is fundamentally erroneous and irresponsible; china is categorically against such political manipulation. mikhail akinchenko,
