about chinese sovereignty over taiwan and emphasized that this is the main point of contradiction between china and the united states of america. biden has gone so far as to insist, uh, that china should not interfere in the taiwanese elections. eh, of course, this is simply insulting, well, a direct insult to the chairmen of the people's republic of china, when he again called him a dictator, because he has a different... political system, i think, also does not contribute to the development of relations, so if someone i thought it would be there warming, this did not happen, well, our cause is just, victory will be ours, we give the floor to the news, see you, word 18:00.

this is news on the first. hello, in the studio of valery koravlev. rub 5.5 billion the government allocates this amount to fulfill obligations to state employees. the decision was made within the framework of the may presidential decrees. mikhail mishustin stated this at a government meeting. the president set the task of ensuring an increase in wages in the public sector. the government is consistently carrying out this work. behind the last 2 months have been allocated for these purposes. about 31 billion rubles, which made it possible to increase wages for employees of federal institutions in the fields of culture, science, medicine and education. today we will additionally distribute more than 5.5 billion, and this funding will help to fully fulfill our obligations to state employees, taking into account the may presidential decrees. the funds will also be used to pay monthly benefits in connection with the birth and upbringing of a child. and the decision made will help

further support our people. more one important topic is the development of the arctic regions, a state priority. we are talking about fulfilling northern delivery schedules. vladimir putin set the task of supplying the regions in full. in addition, price stability must be guaranteed, and a federal law must be formed that clearly defines responsibility for decisions made. it will come into force in april. but today the issue of vesting the ministry for the development of the far east and arctic is being considered. powers of the federal coordinator of northern delivery. about the main the head of the central bank elvira nabiulina spoke today in the state duma about the directions of monetary policy for the next 3 years. she noted that the outflow of capital from russia this year has decreased by six times compared to last year. the economic situation is generally positive. here's what concerns the key rate: the bank of russia has raised it several times over the past few months, the last time in october, well, now it is... we

understand that many are concerned about the increased key rate, but believe me, all calculations and all our experience shows that if we had not done this, if we had not responded in time, then the loss from this for citizens, and for business, and for the state would have been much greater. the scenario shows that next year we will return inflation to the target of 4% , and accordingly we will be able to start reducing the rate, but some time that is needed for the inflation flywheel to slow down, for the economy to digest the record volume of credit already created over the past 12 months, is key the rate will be high for some time, but in order to housing loans have become more accessible, the central bank together with the government will discuss... the state duma

in order to tie the interest rate on preferential mortgages to the average salary in the regions. well, today deputies are discussing a topic that affects millions of schoolchildren. we are talking about banning mobile phones in class. this is the first reading of the bill. dmitry kochitkov, more details. hand over your phone and study calmly, novosibirsk schoolchildren see this call every day. the cells are numbered, the child leaves his phone during the lesson. at the end of the lesson he phone picks up, during breaks, i call my mother, usually, or i just look at the schedule, if they are not used in lessons, then yes, i agree, the recommendations of the internal instructions do not always apply, the parliament decided to enshrine this norm in the law, what will happen if the student refuses to comply with this ban, this is exactly what we will discuss, these are disciplinary measures, schoolchildren will be able to use mobile phones during breaks, you know? in some schools

they made such a decision that the children did not use mobile phones, but we, as legislators, today determine the norm that concerns the lesson. situations when a gadget is needed for the educational process, or emergency cases when it comes to the life and health of students, in one school, for example, let phones be during breaks, in another school they decide that there won’t be phones at all, in a third school let they’ll decide that it’s not, but let us have telephones, let our parents decide that, we don’t need to wear the same size across the whole country, in japan , by the way, it’s even prohibited by computer use for more than 5 hours, why? that in addition to gambling addiction, there is also immune fatigue, you know, in this situation, well, if a person came to study, he should learn, and not be distracted by other issues, in moscow school number 109 they play ping-pong during breaks so as not to be distracted by gadgets, based on the results of the first quarter, this rating

calculates your academic performance, how you studied, and discipline, and if you used the phone, minus three points for yourself, there is an incentive as long as the bill passes... the first reading, so that the ban will not take effect today, amendments to the federal law on education banning schoolchildren from using mobile phones in class were supported by all factions of the state duma, although deputies have long since left school age, there were proposals to start with themselves, of course it will be difficult for children, so we need to set an example those who do not comply with discipline , get out of class, watch something, make a call, please, there is such an opportunity, comrades, deputies, go out and work online, volodin reacts very critically to those who sit on the phone at meetings at various levels, i read the message, but we

are still big boys and girls, so we can control ourselves and removed ourselves, but it’s better to generally limit ourselves for the period of the meeting, in general we agreed both children and adults should limit themselves to online communication, but there are no plans to introduce any separate bans for deputies. dmitry kochetkov, victor semin, vladimir grinevich and ekaterina yarovenko, channel one. before our a report from the ministry of defense came over the air, a ukrainian mig-29 plane was shot down in the donetsk people's republic, and militants from the azov group, banned in russia, tried to organize a sortie in the red-lebanese direction. the attack was repulsed. and in the southern donetsk sector , positions were struck. the amount of enemy equipment in the zaporozhye direction, including tanks, armored vehicles, artillery installations. volnovakhi is preparing for the opening of the city hospital building, the central and largest one. previously there was devastation there, now it has been restored,

there is the most modern equipment. the yamalonensky autonomous okrug, which took patronage over the volnovsky district in the donetsk people's republic, sent there not only builders, but highly specialized doctors. which were sorely lacking there, report by sergei ponmarev. i hear some kind of explosion, that is, in the sky, i look straight into the sky above my head, well , the projectile has a winding path towards it, but i realized that this is essentially air defense. this was one of the first impressions of allargologist alexander korovin at his new place of work, from the hospital to the front line, a little more than 20 km. per month, he says, he’s already gotten used to loud sounds, he’s learned to tell the difference when barrel artillery is working, when rocket launchers , relatives, i said that everything is calm there , don’t surf the internet, don’t look at anything anywhere, but my wife, my wife, of course , looked, she said, she just saw that there was an arrival from the administration, well, it’s scary, what if what happens there, i

say, everything will be fine, alexander and six other doctors from yamalala were sent to the volnovakha city hospital, she’s only on a quarter is staffed by doctors, and narrow specialists... there was always not enough here, for the whole city and nearby villages there is no talargologist, no neurologist, no gynecologist, if you need a narrow specialist, like an ent specialist, we sent to donetsk or mariupol, and you yourself understand that these are people, this is a financial military action, and if the children are small, there is a lot of work now, seeing until the last patient, and people , having heard about new doctors, come even from neighboring areas, we have a hospital here in telmanova, there is a doctor, but he is already old, as if there are specialists here. young, more modern. according to the observations of visiting doctors, people in volnovakha are friendly and grateful, i was pleasantly surprised by the local climate, in svetlana’s native solihard there has been snow for a long time, in the snow or in solihard, in the snow, no, we have snow 9 months a year, so we don’t

miss it at all, i enjoying the beautiful weather. svetlana is now organizing the work of the laboratory, all the equipment was brought from the yamalo-nenets autonomous okrug, the region was taken over. even though yamal is a small one, it turns out that the peninsula is not enough. they say, but yes, it turns out, closer than we thought. total there are seven hospital buildings, the central one, which is also the largest, three-story workers must complete it any day now. in the main building , all departments are already ready, including operating rooms in the surgical area, tables, counters, monitors, there are two operating rooms equipped to the most modern standards. in fact, all that remains is to disinfect the room, and you can start working. the hospital management is now looking for specialists, promising decent ones. 40 apartments have been prepared here. sergey ponomarev, dmitry matyushin, valentin stukanok

and alexander travkin. first channel. well , back to the state duma meeting, deputies adopted in the third final reading a bill to increase the minimum wage by 18.5%. mrod in 2024 will be 19.242 rubles. in finland, they announced the closure of four russian checkpoints, these are the crossings from torfyanovka, brusnichny, svyatogorsk in the leningrad region, as well as värtele in orelia, the finnish government reported that the checkpoints will be closed on the night from friday to saturday and will not work until mid-february. in helsinki they say citizens of iraq, yemen, syria and other countries have been crossing these border crossings in the last 2 weeks to then apply for asylum. this, i repeat, is the version of the finnish side. the kremlin formulated our position the day before, expressing that the finnish authorities had chosen the path of conscious distancing from previous good relations with

russia. a large-scale cultural event in st. petersburg - an international forum that brought together representatives from more than 70 countries. huge interest, topical issues of russian, world, cultural life, star speakers, discussions, presentations, round tables, several thematic sessions, including museums, music, theaters, artificial intelligence, over a dozen cooperation agreements were signed through the ministry of culture. please, somewhere , of course, there will be more tours, somewhere, of course, there will be more exhibitions, somewhere there will be more of our participation in film festivals, more guests from different countries at our international festivals in russia. the very fact that cultural figures from 76 countries came, it seems to me, speaks of that the very concept of “friendly and unfriendly delegation”.

one of the sessions is dedicated to cinema, and not just cinema, but innovative approaches to truly space technologies. the film challenge, filmed for the first time in orbit, has already gone down in history and has returned the topic of space to the field of national interest, this was stated by the challenge producer, general director of channel one konstantin ernst, this is a project that brought cinema into a new orbit, the film’s director klim shipenko spoke about this. i always focus on mine when i work on the fact that the viewer is very demanding, he has a very high standard, and he needs to be given it, to be able to withstand this standard, so the viewer, despite the fact that he goes to watch mostly russian cinema, has still seen hollywood cinema, he knows it, he remembers it the bar is quite high, technically our cinema is advancing, technically it is possible to create almost, well, almost any film , so then it’s up to the idea. today is sambo day in russia, this sport was invented in our country 85 years ago, there is

an occasion to remember the outstanding generation of athletes and coaches, this is stated in the congratulations from vladimir putin. the president calls sambo a unique form of martial arts, and today the all-russian forum for sambo was launched. it was organized by united russia. as part of the program, sections are opened throughout the country. more than 2,000 schools and 130 universities are equipped. gyms for sambo training. about 2,700 educational institutions and about 700,000 of our children participate in the sambo project. our common goal is to make sambo accessible to everyone, so that in every city, in each settlement, even the smallest remote one, had its own gym and its own sambo section was opened. i propose to consolidate this approach in regional samba development programs. it is important to ensure the availability of such. sections, primarily for large, low-income families and for families of participants in a special military

operation. and today the days of samba started at the grandiose exhibition russia, not only sports, culture, technology, travel from the depths of the sea to space, gastronomic delights, in general, for every taste, from our the studio has a prominent collider, a multimedia gallery, one of the most impressive objects. well, as always, there was enormous interest. 75, featuring the best from across the country. today the kemerovo region is taking up the baton, achievements, major projects, everything that kusbass is proud of, well , the pre-new year's start has been given on the main alley... the marathon has begun to install christmas trees, so there's also a new thing behind a portion of the festive mood.
