hello on the air international review in the studio of fyodor lukyanov today in the program international review events of the week chronicle facts a major earthquake in asia following geology comes politics aid to syria under sanctions who

needs a person has already learned how to replace people. a terrible natural disaster happened this week, an earthquake measuring almost 8.0 caused gigantic destruction in southeast turkey and northern syria, the death toll exceeded 20,000 and continues to grow . haven't been here since the thirties of the last century, in addition to geopolitical shifts in the epicenter of which the region is located , tectonic ones were added, literally from ankara of ekaterina sotynchenko. in the very center of ankara , on kizilay square, it has been standing for several years. a large trailer with a red crescent is a blood collection point where you can always see one or two people who want to donate blood, but this week, from the very opening until late in the evening

, hundreds of residents of the turkish capital lined up at the point for several hours. and, if the queue did not come up, then they come to next day türkiye is one nation. we all society needs to watch. so, first of all , humanity in the world. on a large scale, then the turkish society and then my relatives and not only me, we all came to donate blood , there is no one. we are gray muslim people, so we want them to already survive the groom, if we go there to help a person, so that, of course, they feel. i also understood that volunteers help those who wish. elif , a student at the faculty of medicine, barely learned about the tragedy, joined in social work. here at the blood transfusion station. she and other volunteers help fill out questionnaires

answer questions about health and blood donor requirements so many people insist on donating blood. even those who have contraindications. anyway, i am very glad that our nation can unite in difficult moments in the life of the country, throughout turkey , the authorities have organized thousands of humanitarian aid collection points, hundreds more have opened on a voluntary basis on the basis of social institutions, public organizations and simply indifferent citizens to collect aid the employees of the russian house in ankara have joined and already more than 60 boxes of food , warm clothes and blankets have left for hai province, but help continues to come, we turned to the employees of the embassy of the russian federation of russian foreign institutions. this is gazprom rostec and others and a huge number of compatriots who live in ankara also bring their help. and here we are already sending it from here to the mayor's office of our district in one of

the municipal markets of the publication of the administration, the official collection point for assistance is here ordinary residents drive up and in boxes in bags they carry food, warm clothes, a blanket, etc., the body of the truck is filled with a protective minute, and people carry and carry five cars from this sorting point constantly plying humanitarian aid is brought to large sites, one of the large logistics centers is the sorting center of the capital city hall , deployed in the exhibition hall of the altyn park. there is a lot of work going on here almost around the clock. only at this sorting point. uh, works a day voluntarily. people help to help, what can it bring? sorting from here cars are already leaving all areas of turkey where the earthquake occurred. we send

a message by phone to all residents of ankara, we write an announcement on the city hall website. through social networks plus there is a telephone hotline, where you can get information on how and what you can help in the morning, we have already visited about 1,000 volunteers. people come to help go in their place come new volunteers our staff. and this is 250 people. you have already collected a lot of things and sent them to the southeast of the country. if someone wants to send help, but unable to bring her to us on her own. we ourselves send a car to him , we work around the clock, sympathetic residents carry everything among the sorted things, you can see clothes of various degrees of need and children's toys, and yet, basically. these are essentials, food , warm clothes, mattresses, blankets and heaters in turkey, it is winter, which means that even in the warmest areas at night , the temperature drops by a fraction of the ogradus people who survived after the earthquake, left without blood, risk freezing and if you believe weather forecasts,

ekaterina savichenko is hurrying from the region in the near future , especially for international review. a natural disaster is a huge human tragedy that can temporarily postpone political proceedings, alas, not for long in turkey after 3 months of a fateful presidential election. erdogan is fighting for re-election, the opposition is ready for almost anything to prevent him, criticism of the government began very early, because after all, fresh wounds. and then, it seems like, well, such a big tragedy, everyone is united, but the opposition did not wait already, well, since yesterday, and it turns out the third day. yes, they started criticizing. yes, that's all that was already known, that they certainly touched on this topic. they will talk about it, they will criticize, but it seemed that it was him a little later , however, they decided not to wait, and, uh, he already made a statement and

boisterously in the corner, yes, the head of the main opposition party, that a friend is to blame for everything, that erdogan is the main culprit everything that happens, then 20 years, he was. and in general, erdogan could have prevented all this, however. which only one of the options did not survive the cataclysms, that the choice could be canceled altogether, but based on the fact that, well, first of all, a very large region was affected. yes, it is important 10 provinces of major provinces. that's 15% of the population and, uh, 13 million people, and uh, there's already a state of emergency. a. is it possible to hold elections in such a state of affairs? it seems that no, foreign policy also does not stand aside a humanitarian disaster. an occasion to send a positive signal rescuers are rushing from all over the world, including from greece, sweden, israel , other countries with which turkey relationship. perhaps the pages will turn, of course, it works there and the russian ministry of emergency situations

syria is less affected, but it is already in a desperate situation, but they are ready to help. by no means, not all, while western aid to syria is not visible at all. that is, uh, many people have already asked me questions, and in part, to those territories that, uh, in general , are under the control of turkey and the united states, how will help go. i'm afraid that the turks are now up to these territories. this is absolutely perfect, and western aid is unlikely to go there. in any case, physically, that is, people will go, they will go something, because it's just dangerous there and before that there. he did not meddle with sheep, for example, but because, well, once there would be legitimacy, frankly speaking, because this is what he wants to do there. but the territory of the thermian kurds, to be honest, in general, something is not heard about them. i don't know what's going on there. this, of course, i think suffered less degree. they are far enough away from the epicenter of the emirates and saudi arabia. they are now

first of all the emirates, they inform the help and are ready to provide, but, that is, here. eh, it's just superfluous to be a touch, uh reconciling relations to strengthening ties, but we hope that the arab countries , first of all, the gulf countries, they will provide, uh, quite a lot of help, uh, to syria, that is , this is the only thing left to really hope for. uh, i'm afraid that u western countries talking about helping syria will have in mind, just not under the control of the government of the territory. let us recall syria in the deaf western blockade , the banking system is isolated, transferring money is possible only in a bag of russian aid, mainly in such an old-fashioned way and goes. earthquakes accompany the entire history of mankind, what we have achieved in the ability to resist the elements, we will talk with the general

director of the research center for the construction of vitar crochet, this is gennadievich hello. good afternoon. here. how much earthquake experience? well, each one is probably something different. and how important it is for you to study for architects for construction professionals, both earthquakes are probably the most important information when planning. natural safety in design. natural security, because each earthquake it is unique to simulate all the possibilities of an earthquake. it is difficult, therefore , as a rule, they undertake an analysis , an analysis of what has already happened , a thorough analysis of the structure of the places of damage to buildings, and so on. i think that scientists will also be actively working at the epicenter of the recent events in turkey. by the way, the authorities are strange. as a rule, they contribute to this or, on the contrary, may begin to interfere. in order to avoid unnecessary

information. they definitely help. eh, moreover, to even take it specifically in turkey from experience, just earthquakes. we know that in turkey it has been about fifty over the past 100 years. and three of them were very large and they invited specialists from all over the world, including our scientists. there, they analyzed the nature of the destruction for several months. after that, all the materials that were obtained as a result of our work, including those formed the basis of the turkish letter of safe building codes, which were here adopted in 2007. and what is characteristic of the building is built after the analysis of previous earthquakes on the basis of modern scientific base of international experience. they survived the earthquake better. well, apparently it’s better for us now to look at it from the side, but obviously. something that has been built over the past 30 years is more reliable than what was built earlier. that is. that's what is now destroyed. now

it's just that politics has already begun in turkey and the authorities are accused, among other things. why, they didn’t finish something there, what was destroyed is old construction. this is not what is now built. obviously yes, moreover, from open sources of information, about 50%, uh, of the buildings in which people live are built with iron using the technology of a reinforced concrete frame with brick filling. but it is, in principle, one of today's least secure technologies. they behave very badly during horizontal vibrations and , accordingly, because there are no monolithic ties, there are no bandages and, accordingly, they quickly collapse . feb. 10. hit hospitals built recently and none of them destroyed, because it has the elements to sit down in safety, very insulators and

all kinds of seismic zones. excuse the desperate question. naturally, but seismic zones are stable or it can happen. everything that is, let's say, the territory of a region where there were no traditions and suddenly, uh, moves there. this threat happens, of course, it happens, but basically scientists understand potentially, possibly and potentially dangerous zones specifically in turkey 95% of the territory of turkey is seismic, which means we are dangerous, which means that in the analyzed period we once happened, there are fluctuations in the earth's surface and the territory where the earthquake has now passed, it is also historical there in the aleppo region and the earthquake was in 1138 . the first one is fixed. in 1822 , the entire city, too, the alipa was destroyed and from 20 to 60,000 people died there, according to different estimates, also in the territory that is now

affected on the earth's surface. there, too, only the seventieth there were three earthquakes in the year. not there more than 60 points, that is, respectively, and the last 6.7 points occurred in the twentieth year. and, of course, when it will happen, at what minute in what decade, even difficult to predict? uh, it's hard to predict, right? or indicate the exact date, but, in principle , those zones where perhaps we understand, that is, in this sense , we also know approximately where, uh, and well, when not, but, but we know what will happen to russia about 20% to sit down . we are dangerous, especially with development far east development of eastern siberia, uh, these zones are increasing, that is, the number of places where, uh, a person works lives. we are talking about it, we are building it where we work and live, so we need to be more careful there. uh, the construction is better

in terms of compliance. all norms control over construction, as a rule, we all know the territory of the kuriles kamchatka is the caucasian territory. these are the territories. well, where there are mountain ranges, where there are faults, they are understandable, and if you evaluate in the world. uh, who is the leader, well, japan probably, yes, here in uh construction methods that minimize damage according to modern methods. e, probably, japan taiwan is very well protected from an earthquake, but modern methods used in russia are of sufficient quality no e, not a single episode of building destruction was recorded on the territory of the russian federation; well, that is , there is a situation when the unpredictable

is higher. past earthquake high range, but if everything is built according to the standard, and if without deviations and in accordance with the calculations of expectations, then the building withstands, and here we have corrected the safety of construction according to 14 and 7. it is regularly modernized, that is , it has been updated for almost 1 2 3 years in connection with the changes that are taking place. thank you , vitaly kryuchkov from the construction research center was our guest. after advertising in more familiar political upheavals when nerves at the limit excite any trifle

a snow-white ball, majestically floating in the azure sky, beauty, well, just think, the chinese comrades watched a little. and what a commotion in the united states, as if a ufo had flown a chinese umbrella, for two days , the americans soared on the territory of the united states, they say the chinese themselves spied on the weather, studied out of the way, an accident, a provocation, a special signal or a mocking revenge of the prc for the visit of the pilusin. taiwan what only not suspected. italian emmanuel del rossa, he comes from trent, but now lives in holland simply and tastefully the work is called balloons steve breen about the art of photography on a balloon it says spy balloon, and then he asks. say cheese stinging words to michael kamensky the girl and the man who looks like a si.

jinping says. oh my god, you just unleashed world war iii elgugen on the topic of american fears around the espionage essence of the popular chinese. social networks tiktok it is her logo on the ball that one man says to another. why do we let china get so close but the main target is still president biden bubble about his statement about the chinese hot air balloon. trust me biden says. there is only empty space. it’s just that in the air , in china, the balloon itself was shot down by the american air force in the atlantic, in the united states, the cancellation of visits to beijing by secretary of state blinkin, and great hopes were pinned on him. in general, the good old balloon did not disappoint. the first commotion over

enemy balloons occurred in america during world war ii. one day , the battleship new york, on the way to wojima, noticed a bright sphere in the sky that looked like japanese balloon. he opened fire on it with all the guns, but later it turned out that it was the planet venus, the story could be attributed to maritime folklore, if japan really were not the first to threaten the us continental territory, real intercontinental weapons balloons bombers code-named fugu or fire balloon, the japanese found out that from november to march, at an altitude of more than nine to 12 km above the pacific ocean , a strong east wind constantly blows and decided to use it. under conditions of strict secrecy, the shell of ten-meter balloons was made of durable japanese paper. vasya from the bark, mulberry owned. anti-personnel and

incendiary bombs were attached to the balls, the fugu was filled with hydrogen. and when at night the gas cooled and the balloon began to descend, the system automatically lowered the ballast, sandbags, the aircraft dropped bombs exactly after 3-4 days of flight . that is how much, according to the calculations of the japanese, it took. the japanese did not know until now it is not known exactly. how many of them reached the united states, the balloons stopped launching back in april, but during the summer of forty-five, some still flew to america, their remnants are still found in 2014 in the forest on the territory of british columbia, a japanese bomb was defused, which was then 70 years old 500 aircraft. they were looking for these aircraft in the last years of the war, but only two of them were shot down over the territory, the united states true, and

the effectiveness of these raids was zero, although victim. there was a single incident, though , in may 1945 in oregon. pasteur and his family stopped by one such fallen ball. the children ran up to him and there was an explosion. the whole family, including five children, died. let's talk about interesting ups and downs with our good friend andrey ivanovich denisov, an expert on chinese customs, andrey ivanovich hello , we won't talk about the ball itself. but i have a more general question for you, to what extent the chinese political tradition provides for this practice. sending cunning signals such indirect noct signals and hmm uh, and why is this being done? as for the ball - this is a signal here, rather without cunning than cunning, but you know, yes, indeed the ball is already stuck in the teeth. let 's not talk about him. eh, but one moment.

i would still like everything with him, yes remind the fact is that, in principle, in principle, the world of any ordinary chinese is filled with all sorts of symbols, images of various kinds of cause-and-effect relationships. this is determined by the traditional thinking of traditional philosophy, which one way or another affects mentality so, as far as the ball of this big white ball is concerned. eh, chief. well, let's just say the sad result of this whole story is the thwarted visit of us secretary of state blinkin to china, which the lira agreed on a few months ago, so here it is. e, nowhere, what is called without goodness? because for someone in china, the cancellation of this visit came back with a positive side, because it would have come on the fifth of february, and this is a big holiday in china, a big holiday. uh, it's called the lantern festival, uh, we have it

less well-known than lunar new year, but uh, on a par with it. it seems to complete the period of brazilian celebrations - this is the first new moon 2 weeks after the new year. so here are the main symbols of this holiday. this is just yun xiao such sweet white glutinous rice balls that are surprisingly reminiscent. the same english balun who suddenly suddenly flew into america and you had to meet china in your rich diplomatic practice. here are some such e not riddles. well, here are the signals that were necessary after all decipher before understanding what is meant. well, probably the most famous took place in chinese american relations and even gave rise to such a term ping-pong diplomacy, too, balls, by the way, little white balls. yes, absolutely right. quite right. the same thing happened. uh, a little later with

the chinese national drink. e after a difficult internal political period of the cultural revolution of china resumed international communication in chinese delegations began to arrive. and so, to warm relations, the chinese arranged their signs. this banquets and receptions with all sorts of delicious chopsticks. all this was perceived as such an exotic as a novelty and the guests were treated to the traditional chinese drink mautai, by the way, two leaders of chinese foreign policy, the long-term prime minister. china, he loved to show his small glass to the guests. so it turns you over shows that he drank to the bottom. here diplomacy is not enough, taya uh, later came the time for panda diplomacy. ah. the panda is such and generally

an exotic beast, a herbivore that eats teeth on bamboo stalks and lives in the mountains in the south in the province. sichuan. uh, it was announced to the national forces. china and here. uh, let's say the transfer of pandas to the zoo of some country direction. uh, a pair of punts like this. so beautiful is the gesture before the visit, let's say the state leader has also become a trademark of chinese warmth for rent , or is that all quite right. and this pleasure is not cheap, because there it is e furnished with a number of rather harsh conditions. well, for example, uh, everything, the offspring of these pandas, if it's a mixed-sex couple, should go back to china to fight control. uh, hmm zoo. you will start paying a fair fee. well, that is, like this, this is such a gift with, uh, conditions here. here, you know, it is furnished with various different such cases. i am supplemented unknown. maybe

someday, uh, they'll be exempt from rent. well, for example, uh, bamboo for a panda often has a driver from china by plane, which is also, in general, very burdensome and, for example, in the same united states of america there is such a term. uh, padahagovs, that is, those who hug panda huggers memory, if you can so at one time they were in honor, as they say, when relations were on the rise, then the pacifier of china, in other words? well haget cuddling, actually, so well , yes, yes, yes, china lovers i would say so. well, now these panda hagers that are still in the united states of america have clearly gone out of fashion well. er, well, that's all you 're talking about. these are very exotic and specific manifestations of political chinese culture, and american political culture. yes, ours is very different. in doing so, we see that some have periods. when it absolutely does not interfere,

and sometimes, as it is now, it begins to seem that this is not reconcilable at all. and this is how long or really just a matter of political economic controversy. and there you can already hang it with anything. well, i would say, after all, which is closer to the truth, the second one, of course, is based on political, primarily political . moreover, sometimes, oddly enough, they enter in contradiction, uh, with economic, well , she has an example from among them, especially in our days, when it turns out that politics is ahead of the economy. take this already europe, but in the case of the united states of america, uh, politically and and the people's republic of china political relations. now, uh, they have dropped quite low on the scale of this one up and down, uh, and the economic ones continue to remain at a high level, apparently, another trading record will be set next year.

the average exceeds 700 billion us dollars with a huge. if not to say some colossal preponderance of the e balance, this and trade in favor of china sometimes arises. uh, the feeling that in the economic sense the united states and china, and so, as you know, this is how you remember the circus attraction nanai boys. nonai boys who can beat each other with their fists , but in fact, in general , they have grown together to a large extent, because it is not the chinese economy that cannot do without the american one, nor the american one without the chinese too, despite all this talk about the so-called decoupling, that is, opening. and here, uh, in our country in the soviet or hypostasized in the modern, there were cases when the chinese and i didn’t understand each other so seriously in something, not just objective contradictions, but something connected with a misunderstanding misunderstanding of a partner. well, you know all sorts of small, let's say, misunderstandings

in such ordinary diplomatic practice, there are a lot of communication practices, but they are unlikely to have any serious effect on the nature of relations, but there are also serious things interpretation of certain words. for example, difficulties e difficulties in translation. uh, random slips. e, during negotiations, including at a high level , then it is used by one of the parties. uh, like some kind of debt. and what exactly is the name of the reference opportunity, there is constantly constantly referring to it. sometimes. uh, sometimes it just happens, you know, uh. well, i would call it a funny story, if it weren't about high politics, well, for example, the nineties, u signed, we prepared for signing

at the highest level, a serious political document. we wanted to solemnly call it a declaration, chinese partners. they wanted to lower the paphos a little and name the statement for a long time around these two words, which in essence mean then and also, e, bickered for a long time, until, in the end , the simplest way out was found. nina and then it was said, so you are dear chinese partners. call it what you see fit, kohl soon you may have such a translation. or maybe we’ll call it as we see fit as a result of the chinese version, there was a minus in ours , after all, it turned out to be a declaration. i understand , thank you very much andrey denisov was with us
