the sea splashes in solitude, snow rarely falls there, the sun shines cloudlessly on the scorched meadows, the oak groves are not visible, the steppe spreads alone over the sea, for the poet’s anniversary. hello, the evening news is live in the studio of ekaterina berezovskaya. this is the main topic. meeting place - st. petersburg. vladimir putin has a whole series of bilateral meetings with distinguished guests of the economic forum. details of the negotiations. challenges, opportunities , economy of the present and future, the main program of the international forum in st. petersburg began. we collected. the main thing from the first

people discuss and quote vladimir putin's statement at a meeting with the heads of world news agencies: western media in their own manner, who heard what? for all times, the genius of russian poetry alexander sergeevich pushkin was born 225 years ago, and the territory of great literature , red square, the annual book marathon started. in st. petersburg today, the president is holding a series of bilateral meetings with high-ranking guests of the st. petersburg economic forum. negotiations between vladimir putin and bolivian president luis have already taken place mars. the leaders discussed cooperation in a variety of areas. according to the head of the russian state, trade turnover between the countries is still small, but has a tendency to grow. there are interesting areas for this, including in the field of high technology. there are

interesting areas of our cooperation, including in the field of high technology, rusatom is implementing a good program and is building a center for nuclear research and technology in alta, among those already put into operation, the largest radiopharmacological complex in latin america, which already provides bolivian clinics with the appropriate drugs, we have other interesting ideas and...

we still need to implement a project in the field of lithium in bolivia with a russian company. we are pleased to be here in your hometown. so, today the main program of the st. petersburg forum started. and this is a real marathon of discussions. conversation as equals, thorough and mutually beneficial. a conversation where they set what are called over-the-horizon goals and determine development vectors for the years ahead. at the head corner, of course, is the economy, which reacts with lightning speed to global challenges, of which there are many now. the most striking statements in the report by konstantin panyushkin. we would like to ask you about brazil. what i think about brazil, they play football well. every unnecessary word from the opec secretary general could bring down the market, so haitham algay cleverly avoids questions from a crowd of journalists. the first official day of the forum opened with a big conversation about the future of the oil market. the main players are participating, for example, the saudi prince and the minister of energy kingdom of abdulaziz bin salman al-sau.

2020 oil is here and oil will remain with us for decades, it will undoubtedly be used for a long time, even if we are talking about electrification, we still need plastic, we need polymers, we need petrochemical products, even for the purposes of the green energy transition oil is needed, this is obvious . at the end of the session , the head of the private equity fund , kirill dmitriev, saved the prince from the journalists, and there were short direct negotiations on the sidelines. prince abdulazis is a very warm person, he is really very he is friendly towards russia and he understands that human relations also need to be developed. he also helps develop cultural relations between russia and saudi arabia, so we are indeed friends with prince abdulaziz and with many other saudi leaders. the saudis are very similar to us, they are warm, they are friendly and it is very important to develop friendly, warm relations with them, what they talked about behind closed doors is a secret, that’s what everyone sees and it’s no secret. we really looked at what europe is up to has currently lost over 700 billion euros, trying to move away from russian gas, essentially destroying its... industry

, estimates of losses range from 3 to 6% of europe's gdp due to the fact that it is moving away from russian gas, by the end of this year the losses will be over trillion euros for europe, so this... the sultanate is most focused on afghanistan, but what kind of common projects with kabul might be asked? for example, there is an international project for the construction of a transit railway, and even earlier it was discussed transit gas pipeline project. i want to say that we are very interested, since

the turkmen part was built and our pipes are there, so we will always supply pipes, rails and sleepers too, if necessary. today we already occupy very good volumes, about 25% of the world wheat market is wheat from the russian federation. well, if we’re talking about specific deals, for example, what moscow managed to do during the day at the st. petersburg forum. this is an important innovation that will enable people to use it more easily

and save even small amounts of money on wiring and so on. we signed the second such serious agreement in the field of investment with kamaz and the ministry of industry. a large truck plant in moscow is robotic, a plant that is based on the most modern technologies in new moscow, and the third is a large pharmaceutical production that will work on oncology, to replace imported drugs. but arfpi announced the launch of the beloporozhye hydroelectric power station in the republic of koreli, the construction was supervised from the very beginning and now accepted by nikolai patrushev, and the project is also closely connected with the brix-zaporozhye hydroelectric power station. the first project of the new brix development bank in russia. the future of this association today became the topic of one of the most vibrant discussions at the forum. with the addition of new countries, we have brix - this is 37% of world gdp, this is almost half of the world's population, 40%

of oil production, this is a significant part of the global economy, and naturally a lot depends on it in how the world economy will develop. that is why many in the world, well, i... let’s say, the majority in the world believes that this is the main driver of the development of the world economy, today day, brix countries. probably the largest investment forum deal to date in the construction of a new omsk airport, 43 billion rubles. the project is very old, historically, for many years they tried to move the airport from the city center to a new territory, finally such a decision took place, was supported by the president of our country, so we , together with... the regions, are starting to implement it, what else is important in the margins - huge attention to a session called a dual-use task, this is about the role of a defense industry enterprise in achieving technological sovereignty, freeing up capacity for the production of civilian products, and we hope that the defense industry enterprise,

having received today a serious impetus to renew its fixed assets, will be used for the next stage. such cooperation, the potential of science, business, government, not only contributes to improving the interaction of the defense industry and civilian enterprises, it allows the development of an involutionary economy thanks to the growth of scientific and engineering competencies, the supply

of russian-made goods to the market, and contributes to ensuring the overall sovereignty of our country. notable event of the day: special session of russia, creating the future together - these are exhibitions at vdnkh. there is an effect. the effect is big, when you talk about the future, the center should be such that the effect becomes even greater, and what it will be, we will do together with all the regions. with all the citizens of our country, this is to formulate, this is to design, this is to bring life to life. one artist said, why do we love the soviet union so much? because in the soviet union there was, we love, this is the soviet past, for its future, there was always a future there. so it seems to me that now it is very important to create the future. there is a future in our country. we have always created it for the world, because on april 12 the president extended it for... russia is the future of the world. so, they say, moldova needs to develop a strategic trade and economic

partnership with russia, and the countries of the eurasian economic union too. this was the conclusion reached by the participants of the session, a big conversation between the business of moldova and the eu countries. and these are just a few discussions of a whole day of negotiations. konstantin panyushkin, pavel vikholetov, victor golovin, pavel rudakov, kirill logina. pervokanal st. petersburg. one of the key topics of the st. petersburg international economic forum today is improving the tax system. representatives of government, business, and experts discussed initiatives that are aimed at building a progressive tax scale. anton vernitsky followed the discussion. well, it’s like at the st. petersburg international economic forum without talking about taxes, especially since the package of government bills, aimed at improving the country's tax system will be considered by the state duma very soon, on june 20. and here is a big session discussing government initiatives.

the size of the family payment will depend on the income in each specific case, but the return of seven percent of taxes paid at the end of the year is a significant amount for such families, according to tax authorities. a lot, if you count families with children who will receive

social support, then this will be 18.2 million people, and if we talk about deductions, then this is 35 million people, small medium-sized businesses will receive new opportunities, the government proposes to raise the income limit for those who work under a simplified taxation scheme from 265 to 450 million rubles. this will allow many companies to switch to a simplified system, at the same time, vat is being introduced for entrepreneurs with an income above 60 million, but the vast majority fits within this threshold, this was confirmed at today’s session by the president of such an organization as opora russia, which unites more than six million small medium-sized entrepreneurs countries, or what alexander kalinin himself calls them, sme. 97% of smes, the parameters have not changed, this just speaks of balance, and even those who will pay as much as possible in this case, yes, but... the thresholds for simplification were significantly increased, since there was an opportunity to participate in parliamentary hearings and

discussions parameters, we see that the government heard the position of russia’s support and supported it. in general, all government proposals are aimed at balancing very, very serious budget expenditures and, as is clear, first in turn, we are talking about social obligations and large-scale development projects; this is what the additional taxes collected will go towards. first, i wanted everyone to understand that as much as we collect from this tax system, we will give back, there are no, uh, you know, any proposals, put it in a box, which means save it somewhere else. everything we collect, we will give away in a balanced manner, second, everything we collect, we will give away, and we will also have a balanced budget, so that there is no, excuse me, i’ll interrupt right away, it’s just no, that’s understandable, it’s just really the whole business he said that it is necessary to close tax loopholes, because those who evade taxes, this violates competition, they get an advantage over bona fide

business, beznes asked about this, and business also asked the duma to quickly finish consideration of the bill in the spring session. the minister of economy, as well as the head of the ministry of finance, once again reminded that the money collected will not be put aside for a rainy day, it will immediately go to work, we are not collecting this money in a box, yes, that’s why it was in the economy and it remains in the economy, the question is who and how managed them more effectively, well, for example, look, when we talk about personal income tax, we understand, a progressive scale, we understand, we take away from people who are better off, and at the same time we seem to be doing, well , essentially, reducing the tax burden of... and less well-off groups of the population, but from an economic point of view, the higher the income, the larger the share of imports in consumption, as a rule, and the lower the income, the smaller this share, well , of course, because they primarily consume food, housing and communal services. they pay, vacation around the country, and so on and so forth. the government’s logic is this: the money received from the taxes of those who earn less remains in the country, goes to our own

manufacturers, because we buy their goods, to our tailors, because we book rooms in hotels in our country. so, in everything, there is money. they do not go abroad, but remain in russia and develop its economy, as preliminary calculations, the government plans to publish as quickly as possible, naturally, after the law on improving the tax system is adopted by the duma and starts working. anton vernitsky, alexey bilov, evgeny savchenko, svetlana barkova, channel one st. petersburg. a french citizen was detained in moscow on suspicion of collecting information about russia's military activities. according to the investigative committee... he repeatedly visited our country, including the capital, and purposefully collected information that could be used against the security of our state. at the same time, he deliberately did not provide the authorized bodies with the documents necessary to include him in the register of foreign agents. in the near future the detainee will be charged and a preventive measure will be chosen. now the latest data on

the progress of the special operation, as reported in our ministry of defense, by aviation, drones, missile forces and artillery.

to urgently arm, urgently, that means, to send weapons, that is, to ukraine, in fact, for what it is doing this, to maintain its own imperial position and greatness, that is why it is being done. another popular western scare is the alleged threat from russia to use tactical nuclear weapons in ukraine. like would be, all the answers are in our military doctrine. threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. and the president has spoken about this more than once. but here is the rate agency. comes back to the topic, returning to ukraine, what would be the trigger for nuclear war, how close are we to that risk? you know, all the time they try to accuse us of... that we are waving some kind of nuclear baton, but did i just raise the question of the possibility of using nuclear weapons, you did that, you are bringing me to this topic , a

then you will say that i waved a nuclear baton, which means, you know, this is such a very tough topic, which means... what is called weakly, they look, at least, irresponsible, exactly to the same extent as strikes by western weapons on russian territory. talk about europe and the united states allowing or not

allowing ukraine something in this sense is another example, to put it mildly, of deceit. these are western specialists, according to the president, who control high-precision missiles using their own satellite reconnaissance data. ukrainians in at best, they press buttons. we are thinking about this topic. that if someone considers it possible to supply such weapons to a combat zone to strike our territory and create problems for us, then why do we not have the right to supply our weapons of the same class to those regions of the world where attacks on sensitive objects will be carried out those countries that do this in relation to russia, that is, the answer may be: we will think about it. the ukrainian conflict, as expected, became the main topic of the meeting, no surprises in wording of questions. this is due to

the western media’s habit of counting from the beginning of the special operation and leaving out 8 years of shelling of donbass, the trampled minsk agreements and the coup d’etat in kiev. america is not betraying itself here. what do you think moscow has managed to achieve over the past 2 years and how to put an end to hostilities? the first thing we did was fulfill our duty to the people who suffered from the coup d'etat and the subsequent fighting in the territories of south-eastern ukraine. we recognized the rights of these people who live in these territories to protect their interests, their lives and the lives of their children. and this, in my opinion, is the main thing. we also showed. to the whole world that we not only talk about protecting our interests, but we do it and will do it without any

doubt, everyone will have to reckon with this, i can tell you, as a representative of the united states, what i once told mr. biden , if you want to stop the fighting in ukraine, stop supplying weapons, and these actions will stop during. two, well, maximum 3 months, that’s all. another option, according to the president, is not to interfere with peaceful dialogue. russia and ukraine were close to an agreement in the spring of twenty -two, but through the efforts of the west in general and the former british prime minister in particular, the draft agreement went into the trash bin, and this is not the russian interpretation of events, the testimony of the head of the ukrainian delegation. moscow, however, is still ready for negotiations, but the question is with whom to talk. zelensky's term of office.

if it goes to the speaker of parliament, it means if there was a desire to sign an agreement with whom we would find it, that’s another question. it’s possible to find a solution, but only if you really start searching, instead of declaring it as a quality at every corner. it continued to grow under the next two american presidents, despite sanctions. the same cannot be said about the european economy, which severed energy ties with moscow in favor of washington in the forefront of germany. and this, by the way, could have dire consequences for the european economy as a whole, because the german economy, everyone knows this well. no offense to any other europeans, but this is the locomotive of the european economy, it will sneeze and cough, everyone else will immediately get the flu, well, the french economy is right

now... it’s also teetering on the brink of recession, everyone knows well, and if the german one will fall below , all of europe will shake. why did you need to shoot yourself in the foot is a rhetorical question, while observing the constant strengthening of russia’s ties with china. another reason to irritate the united states and europe. however, you can be as angry as you want, but cooperation cannot be prevented. it concerns a variety of areas, from economics to defense. joint military exercises of the two countries are a given. which the west will have to come to terms with, we are conducting and will conduct exercises, we will do this in the future, including military exercises, work is underway for us in the field of military-technical cooperation, here we have something to offer to chinese friends and the interest of our chinese friends in working together in this direction there is, but our interaction is not limited to this, neither economics, nor military-technical cooperation, nor cooperation in

the international arena. if, in the western spirit, we continue to perceive this arena solely as a place of confrontation, then this method is unlikely to help reach agreement. russia, in spite of everything, is ready for dialogue, but only on equal terms, without preaching attempts to impose some unthinkable rules. during the 3 hours of conversation, its participants had every chance to be convinced of this. i want to thank you all for coming here, either on assignment or simply without tasks, but were not afraid to come. in any case, for you, for your interest. to what is happening in russia, to what is happening in our relations with other countries, in conditions of, of course, a very difficult situation, i hope that you will present everything as objectively as possible, fulfilling, of course, your mission and your tasks, after all you will try to do this as correctly as possible, it is clear that there could be no illusions about the result of these efforts, the headlines of the western press are only confirmation, the editors of newsweek see this as

words:

centers for collective access to use equipment and updated more than half of the instrument base of leading scientific organizations, this applies to our new regions, where there is also great scientific potential, i am absolutely sure that scientists and specialists could work effectively, how the foundation interacts with scientists and developers who there are people working in completely different parts of the country who may have brilliant ideas. russian science foundation with regional leadership. organized regional competitions, 61 regions participate, plus the federal territory of sirius, the total volume of these competitions is more than 8 billion rubles. today is a significant date for our country, russian literary culture: 225 years ago , alexander sergeevich pushkin, the great poet and writer, the founder of the modern literary language, whose name he knows, was born. his
