we developed these recipes. uh, we know what was roughly included in the nun's christmas chores. volunteers from among the parishioners have spent the last month helping them to give the believers the mood of the holiday with their own hands making pictures with toys and a huge amount of sweets this year, and the sisters also tried for us and made such fabulous sweets, and gifts this is hmm christmas tree cake . and these are pine cones, the russian tradition can also be traced in fabric toys, similar to medallions before such fun. on almost every christmas tree this year, decorations have decided to revive the demand for embroidery at christmas. almost higher than for sweets. in order to have time for the most routine work, they trust automatic machines, while the surviving ones are left with complex small details, which are initially drawn by hand and the sketch on the fabrics is very subtle, reminiscent of merry christmas scenes, mostly spring ones like the revival of nature. the effect of the birth

of christ is carried out by hand with paints. the artist draws with a pencil, that is, it is not computer drawing. this hand-drawing of fabulous beauty meets believers from the famous monastery, naganina yama, officially the last refuge of the family of the murdered emperor nicholas ii, a special symbol of this place. angels are the main decoration and den. and on the table, the work of a rapist is not left to finish it only by the beginning of the solemn divine service albert mussel nikolai starostin gennady logunov or galeeva vesti, sverdlovsk region. at least 10 injured in shooting while filming us rapper's music video in florida, the conflict occurred in the parking lot of a local restaurant among the injured musicians and his bodyguards. they are stable. and the reason for the shooting is not reported by local media, they believe it all happened because of a quarrel between several members of the film crew . vaughn demanded compliance with all

legal norms regarding the detained editor-in-chief sputnik, lithuania however, contrary to the law, marat kasem was sent into custody, despite the efforts of lawyers. in the release on bail in our ministry of foreign affairs, they have already stated that they are once again ignored in the baltic states journalists and grossly violate freedom of speech, all the details are with yevgeny, they are there milavian special service transferred to the riga central prison, detained, eu citizen marat kasem, editor-in-chief satellite. in lithuania, he was considered a threat to state security because he works in a news agency. russia today the situation with regards has nothing to do with the right. this is certainly revenge for normal journalistic work, which in modern europe, and even more so in the baltic countries , is already becoming a criminal offense. nothing to do with freedom words. it also does not make sense that the

baltics and europe have long forgotten the practice of this concept. marat kasem came to latvia for family reasons. there is information that they are ready to bring charges against him under an article under which a journalist can face up to 20 years in prison, there is information that if he is charged in two directions under two articles, this is the first non-compliance with economic sanctions and the second, which, of course, is much less pleasant for the championship , so nonsense by definition, because it is clear that marat no spies was doing. he worked for satellites, and he was the editor-in-chief of satellite. lithuania hosted its own programs on radio sputnik lived in moscow , it is important to understand here that marat is a citizen of latvia - this is important. that is, this is not a russian citizen, a citizen of latvia who was chained. close attention from the special services of the baltic states, for example, was an episode when it was almost six hours. interrogated at the airport in vilnius , marat kasem told about this case, speaking at the site of the st. petersburg economic

forum. he said mapping latvia somehow you work for them. well, let's talk, so sincerely. you understand who they are it's the same, well, it's not exactly people. this is such a peculiar country orcs you would yes, for sure. i could get a good job. and here in lithuania, or maybe in latvia , to work for our local media. you know the latvian language perfectly. come on, just put your hand on your soul. well, why say, well, i say, listen here, the way you are behaving now. this is one more time. e causes me opposition. he's such a sweet character, if you would rather anti-semites, for example, i would designate myself as a jew. yes in front of you that's how you are zealous russophobes, then this causes such a counter emotion in me, therefore, if i continue to lead the way i mean, he said, fine. that, well, you know, you're lucky that you're not a citizen of russia. we would deal with you differently here now.

so we will simply throw you out of here for 5 years, we will close the entrance to the local media, as if on command, the face creates the image of an enemy of the state for him, apparently, the country's authorities cannot forgive the participation in the seim elections, it is reported that his the lawyer has not yet received the materials of the case . according to the law, 10 days are allotted for appealing the court's decision, what is happening now. i am sure it is the place of these same totalitarian regimes, which have long spit on all sorts of obligations of their own international legal in the field of protecting the rights of journalists. freedom of speech. what kind of protection is there? they simply openly attack everything that is connected with freedom, everything that is connected with russian journalists, who for real, and not imaginary, stands for the truth, for the search for truth, for stagnation of their own. the professional point of view and this time they have demonstrated exactly the same thing

over the past years, journalists from the eu states, especially in the baltic countries, are being persecuted. they are detained, deported, sent to prison for honestly doing their job. the union of journalists of russia intends to draw the attention of international organizations to the incident in the office. he has so far only sparingly stated that he hopes to comply with all legal procedures evgeny under olga lvukhina. and alisa osipova lead orange the level of weather danger continues to operate in moscow and in the moscow region in the capital region, it has become sharply colder and, according to weather forecasts, it will also only increase. what weather is expected in the regions of european russia on christmas night and when it gets warmer, alina katelevskaya will tell. the european part of russia in the grip of an abnormal cold after a prolonged period of warm weather in the region, it has become sharply colder in moscow, today will even become the coldest at the beginning of winter. and what temperature will be on christmas night and when frosts on the russian plain will come to peak weather on channel russia 24. i am alina

koterevskaya, leading specialist of the phobos centers. hello, in the european part of the country , a period of anomalous frosts began. strangely, there are three suns in the sky at once, but they almost do not warm. residents of the region share on social networks videos and photos of the halo of the optical effect, which occurs only in very cold weather the day before it was seen, for example, in yaroslavl in this city the temperature did not exceed -14 °. near vologda and frosts. i had to cancel part of the holidays events. here the thermometer showed -23 in st. petersburg, it was only -8 in perm -17. in moscow, at the beginning of the day, the thermometer showed -6 °, but then the temperature went down in the evening in the capital, the air cooled down to - seti, and at night to -24 °. on thursday, it also managed to cover only the north of the russian plain, but in the south it was still abnormally warm, precipitation came both in the form of snow and in the form of rain in the epicenter. bad weather turned the southern half of the central region snow. i even went to

belgorod where the snow cover melted back at the end of december, a sharp deterioration in weather conditions led to numerous accidents on these frames, for example, an accident in the ishibekinsky district of the belgorod region collided with two cars, and unfortunately, four people died since the end of december, the european part of our country was dominated by warm atlantic cyclones, but now the situation has changed one of the whirlwinds, threw cold arctic air into the region, and along with it, the frosty anticyclone began to intensify up to the present moment. the hotbed of high pressure managed to displace the atlantic heat, far to the south, capturing most of the russian plain during today, for example, the positive temperature will recede to the lower reaches of the volga and don will intensify in the central region, 20 ° frosts are expected. down below, only the black sea and the coast of the caspian sea will remain in frost. in moscow today no higher than -20. by the evening

it will get colder up to 23, and in the second half of the night. we expect -25 -27°. and it's about 15 degrees below the climatic norm. alas, the frosts in the european part of russia came for a long time in the coming days, the anticyclone will continue to grow and finally block the path to the region with a warm cyclone by the end. this week, almost all of european russia will be in the zone of the arctic invasion, with the exception of the extreme south in sochi, for example, the positive temperature will remain. true , during the passage of the cold front, heavy rains will fall today in the resort capital plus 10 and according to our forecasts, according to our forecasts, over the next 24 hours it can fall up to 70 mm moisture, right? this is about 40% of the monthly norm . on saturday afternoon, the precipitation will weaken, and on sunday it will become a little cooler, plus five or six degrees. but in moscow, at least to the middle. next week the anomalous cold weather will be delayed

. everything will also cool down to -21°-26°. that's all for me, goodbye.

$ 1,000 per kilogram. and also this is the very famous indian tea with an elephant in the soviet union, which everyone drank, but about which little was known, this is india with dmitry melnikov today. we are talking about indian tea. only here on the border of india with nepal and putan, where humid and hot air from the bay of bengal meets cold streams from the himalayas at an altitude of 800 m above sea level form this unique climate of mountainous subtropics, ideal for growing and harvesting the most elite tea not only in india but throughout the world. ah, singing about a young guy who dreams of marrying a neighbor, darjeeling women with a basket behind their backs deftly move along the steep slopes of thousands of hectares of tea plantations, it is believed that only female fingers can pick the youngest, still tender

and bright green top three leaves. i collect about 6 kg of leaves per day only top three leaves, because they are the ones that give the best quality to this tea. we drink at home. it's called darjeeling tea. it is now dorjilin one of the world's centers of tea production with plantations on which dozens of different varieties grow with organic fertilizer factories and a developed agricultural infrastructure, and at the beginning of the 19th century. it was a village forgotten by all the cop gods, until the colonial british authorities opened it. here is the first sanatorium for the british troops suffering from the heat of the indian plains, precisely the local climate. well and, of course, picturesque views became the reason for choosing dojeeling, first for the rest and recuperation of the officers of the colonial administration, and then for growing bushes of the camellia sinensis plant brought from china or tea, which became one of the main colonial goods.

oddly enough, it sounds today, but before the arrival of the british, tea in india was not drunk at all; the leaves were used, but as one of the many components of traditional ayurvedic medicine. and this means that the tonic and other beneficial properties of tea in india have been known since ancient times, but the fabulous profits of the first export deliveries of tea from china to europe sealed the fate of dorjeeling. in a matter of years, the british east india campaign turned this remote village into one of the main tea outposts in india . thousands of local residents were involved in growing and harvesting tea. built on these inaccessible slopes a long narrow gauge railway to work in 1881

year by the beginning of the 20th century. already transported up to 40,000 tons of tea per year. today it is the only railway line in the world where 130-year-old coal-fired tea locomotives operate on a regular route. of course , they don’t translate anymore, but the locals still use the train to get to the highland villages. once upon a time, this strategic tea line had a second purpose, in addition to steam locomotives, passenger cars were also included, then eras, in addition to tea, the british authorities used this road for transportation and other goods. since no there were no paths other than mountain paths; the british hoped that they would be able to use this road for the transfer of troops and military equipment. in the same years, the emergence of tea production. this is where it was developed. this is a unique way of drying and fermenting tea leaves, harvested from the plantations, the top leaves are called flushes. first, they are laid out on special

racks, where hot and cold air alternately passes through them. here we have primary drying, in which fresh leaves are lost. fifty percent for the production of 1 kg of the famous tea , approximately 22,000 such flushes are required after withering and fermentation already in the steam room. at this stage, tea juice is oxidized, which subsequently gives the famous thick taste and aroma. in russia, the culture of tea drinking came at the beginning of the 16th century, but not from india, but from china, along with a special device, which we later began to call the chinese grass samovar. what was the name then tea in russia was available only to wealthy nobles and merchants and it cost 10 times more than black caviar it was the beginning of tea deliveries from india in the second half of the 19th century that sharply reduced prices and made tea an accessible drink for everyone

. few. who knows what was done under this treaty, not only weapons. ammunition, but also tea in 1941, the first soviet sales agent arrived in india then, still a colony of great britain, and in 1943, in calcutta, a tea shop in the capital of the country, a trade agency of the ussr appeared, which also organized the supply of tea, primarily from darjeeling, and this tea went for the needs of the red army, including in a hospital for the wounded. having gained independence from great britain in 1947, india had to build an independent economy and tea then became a real salvation for the country, and the british, in the place of the main consumer of indian tea, were replaced by the ussr to fraternal india from the union, grain machines went and in general everything that was possible from india to the ussr brought tea, quarreling with china moscow has stopped importing chinese tea, and here begins the story of the famous

indian tea with an elephant, which in 1967 began to be produced at the irkutsk tea factory by mixing one part of indian dorjeeling with two parts of tea grown in georgia, tea with an elephant immediately became the king among soviet teas, including due to the higher content of caffeine. why did the ussr love our tea? as far as i understand, the climate. yours is very cold and russians prefer stronger tea, they also prefer stronger alcohol. here strong. it has the effect of an alcohol-like name tea with an elephant - this is a purely folk fiction. the packaging design was developed at the moscow part of the exploration factory on yellow packs weighing from 50 to 125 g, against the backdrop of the eastern city, an elephant is depicted and a driver sitting on it in a helm. with a long beard. among the people, there was a legend that real indian tea is only the one where the trunk of an elephant looks up, if the trunk is lowered, you don’t

need to take it. guessed, as well as elephants about this soviet brand itself. here, part of the local fauna walks through the fields and destroys crops through our tea plantations, elephant trails pass through our tea plantations, but we don’t disturb them, they pass through the plantations in herds, but they don’t eat tea leaves, because for them they are bitter. the era of the ussr was golden and for tea plantations . and darjeeling , about 80% of all tea grown here went to the soviet union. and this is almost 14 million kg of first-class tea per year, the beginning of the nineties in russia almost killed in the dorjeeling tea industry, after 1991 the export of jolin tea in russia almost ceased and the next 3-4 years were difficult periods. since almost all export tea went into one basket of the ussr

between 1991 and 1995, many implantations closed, unemployment among tea plantation workers increased, and production decreased from 14 million kg to nine only by the end of the 20th century. dorjeeling. managed to restore production new markets demanded an organic product and the strictest quality control, but also one of the world's oldest institutions are located right here, uh, an important part of the job. control of tea, including tea bushes, as well as finished products, checks are carried out on several parameters, the content of polyphenols, tannins, caffeine content, other parameters necessary for high-quality tea, but chemical indicators, the main taste is professional tasters who taste tea and assign it a rating from zero to ten drink up to 120 cups of tea a day, or rather do not drink, but only try. drink tea

with milk lemon with sugar wrong tea must be clean, says a professional slate taster. first, we look at dry tea, we try it on the smell of aroma. then you need to give it boiling water and look at the tea leaves, there are no leaves of extraneous flowers. only then take a sip of brewed tea, but it must be drawn in with air so that the taste and aroma are fully revealed. i prefer the first and second flushes. that is, the topmost leaves of the tea bush, they are harvested in autumn, and they give the best taste, the highest price for click tea, which depends on time the place of a quality producer and so on can reach thousands of dollars per kilogram, but this tea is not for the wide market, and to order, for example, zhilinsky tea is still on the table of kings in the uk and many heads of state have become another blow to indian tea, coronavirus pandemic, export halt and strict quarantine. the production of tea in darjing and in the

second main tea state was reduced by almost a third. india and themselves and at some point, world tea prices soared by 40% now factories are gradually starting to to restore work, although only half of the staff still work on plantations and conveyors. we were forced to stop production for several weeks. and now we are working on the verge of profitability and live only on what we were able to collect and sell during the lockdown. we were selling tea in the local market, but this is not comparable to the income that we received from the export of our tea. today, tea is the main drink, and for india itself, it’s true, they drink it here in a special way on the streets of cities there are merchants of masala tea brewed in milk with by adding a mixture of spices of sugar and ginger, and in the mountainous regions they prefer tea with yako butter and even with powder and dried chicken. i pour water into a pot, bring it to a boil and add milk and put tea leaves in it.

this is a simple tea, but there are many primarily buddhists who live here asking for oil and even salt. this is called soecha, but ordinary people don’t drink tea like that, the volumes of the current supplies of indian tea in russia do not go. what comparison with the period of soviet-indian friendship today is only a third of all tea imported into our country comes from india, whose waters of the dorjeelings recall the golden times and hope that the russians will taste the local tea again and sigh sadly at the mention of tea in bags, which is now sold in our country under the dojeeling brand.

japan agreed with the americans on cooperation in the field of semiconductors, and we will tell about the prospects for their consequences for the production of microchips in china in the economy section. the russians will perform at the australian tennis federation grand slam tournament decided not to remove the russian athletes. who is on the application list and which athletes
