the leroy merlin network will come under the control of russian management , a french group that owns construction hypermarkets did this. well, i remind you of leroy merlin in russia, these are 111 stores, 65 cities the network is in the top 10 largest retailers in the country, and now we are in touch with the deputy minister of industry and trade of russia viktor evtukhov, a viktor leonidovich hello well, now this news is in the tops she news feeds. uh, well, it seems to me that this is too much noise on the one hand. we do not see any problems, shops will work and so

further. i don't confuse anything. yes, good evening. you are absolutely right, stores will operate at leroy merlin 111 in stores in sixty regions of the russian federation. 45,000 employees work in these outlets, so nothing will change management, very experienced. we have been working with colleagues for a long time. oh, and management. he is mixed there and uh, our compatriots and the french, who also remain working here uh, so there are no problems uh, the shops did not work with an assortment matrix. we don't see, we don't expect. is it possible uh disclose the details of this transfer if the option to buy back participation in this business? or is it still a commercial secret yesterday we met just with the leaders

of the company today, uh, it means that such a step was announced, but to talk about the terms of the deal. we can’t now, because there is a certain procedure for the company to submit documents from the ministry of industry and trade, these documents are submitted for consideration by a commission headed by mr. anton genovich, minister of finance. uh, the company filing the papers. she is a purchase. oh, and for sale. doesn't matter. depending on who will fit the documents, they will definitely take on a certain kpi. i think that this will be just the job saving investment. uh, in the production of people, this is the opening of logistics centers and online trading and, probably, not, probably, even the representatives of the company said that they would subsequently expand their trading network and work with counterparties. i must say that 7 0 more than seventy percent of the goods that are sold online in leroy merlin are russian-made goods, so

it is very important that everyone is preserved for russian manufacturers for those who are suppliers. this is a very serious sales channel for many representatives of russian business. ah, viktor leonidovich, but you have already said that you are experienced management leaders. i understand it is preserved. what are your plans for the staff? uh, for sure, someone from the workers is watching us. this is a very large state. will there be cutbacks and so on? the head of the company convincingly told us that no layoffs were foreseen, they intended save her staff. well, in order to serve uh, 111 shops 111 outlets. and also open. uh, new logistics centers. i think that something else will only grow. and even so, respectively, 70% of our production is

good, nevertheless, 30 is also a lot. here, will the assortment change? this was also somehow stipulated, er, based on this deal. the assortment matrix will not change, in general, the leroy merlin company is a customer-oriented company, and they are even for different regions for different markets pick up. uh, maybe even several times, uh, a different assortment matrix, but a year has passed since the restrictions that were imposed sanctions that were imposed against our economy against our country, but leroy merlin's assortment matrix practically did not suffer. uh, what was brought from countries that today are unfriendly to us. eh, it is quite easily bequeathed by those countries, which are in large numbers, which are with us in an active economic spotlight. you said about 70 percent. there at these

producers, generally problems do not arise. well, rather, i’m not asking so wrong, the question arises. which how they are actively resolved, based on the change in the logistic lodis. it is clear that a lot was said about this, including, uh, yesterday uh at the report. er, the chairman of the government in front of the state duma, that we survived, but, nevertheless , it is clear that problems can still arise. here turkey was, everything seems to be fine, then bam and the news. and how are things here? do you see the risks here when we are talking about russian manufacturers, then you can’t talk about the problems of history with turkey with some other countries. uh, the companies that make products here supply all these kinds. they are some of our other trade networks, so here you don't have this problem, as far as deliveries abroad are concerned, i can already answer this question. yes , great for you. thanks for taking the time. answered our questions. let me remind you, we

talked, uh, with viktor evtukhov , deputy minister of industry and trade of the russian federation in france gripped by nationwide protests, even the policemen are ready to go on strike, their trade union said that people in uniform will not last long, given that about 400 policemen were injured in clashes with protesters over the previous days, and the situation in france , which has escalated to the limit, will tell anastasia ivanova, the waves of the demonstration have outgrown in a full-fledged tsunami, at least, the consequences of the demonstration are, without exaggeration, catastrophic for the expression of freedom of speech, it no longer looks like upside down hot cars. almost on every

windows of residential and administrative buildings are broken on the street mountains of stacked barricades formal dispersal of protesters in fact hand-to-hand combat wall to wall hit by police batons and women and pensioners poured tear gas on people threw stun grenades at them as a result of one such throw, one of the girls lost her finger on they threatened the press with their hand at journalists, they aimed at point-blank range from a gun with rubber bullets precisely because of them. by the way, during the yellow vest protests, people lost their eyes. affected the police also have one of them fainted from hitting cobblestones in the head, to the word stones, far more than once broke through the wall from law enforcement agencies footage from leonov molotov cocktails flew and in toulouse because of the blazing fire in places it was not visible parked cars no one was in a hurry to put out the fire firefighters joined the protests

some policemen did the same to the public slightly more peaceful today in marseille truck drivers blocked the roads leading to the industrial port of the city most of movement was blocked. why did the french president use article 49 for reform to demonstrate for a strike for retirement? so we strike and people suffer. the number of this article was clearly burned 49.3 gives the executive power the right to pass any law without the consent of the parliament. and here are the effects of the map from the french edition. mond clearly show that the whole country is engulfed in fire of protests, let me remind you that more than a million people went on strike, especially many people in paris and nancy. it's in the west on the street facing southeast marseilles, nice by the way the protests have already gone beyond the fifth republic to stop the attacks for our pensions and the employees

of the french embassy in berlin are screaming with placards in their hands. of course we are here to support the french who staged a very large demonstration to say no to the way the government uses the new law is unacceptable, so that you do not hear the majority, and so that you make a decision as a minority for most people , the macron stands on its pension reform and is even ready to sacrifice its rating, which is stubbornly falling. otherwise, says the deficit budget by 2030, due to the huge number of pensioners, a new outbreak of hatred for the macron of the french broke out after this broadcast, without interrupting communication with the presenters. he, as he thought, apparently quietly removed the clock under the table, the effect of the stresson worked on what he wanted to hide . as a result, special attention twitter erupted with memes of the president of france compared with a magician, they write that they understand

the actions of a politician, who should not speak to him. and who receives an allowance in hours for 80,000 dollars, although surrounded by a macron, they said that the watch costs 2,000 euros and even gave a link to it. this reform is being carried out in the interests of big french capital and international capital, and in fact, no one, uh, in france from the elite, well , they will, uh, how would they oppose such a decision, because it corresponds to the decisions in fact, the ruling class emmanuel macron is m- m, in fact , a protege of the international capital of big international business and in fact in that part of the french business community and the french elite that is connected to this the most international human rights organizations business is in a mess no. so much time, all the international is very concise for such large-scale protests, they wrote they say. citizens should not use excessive force.

when there was maidan, when there were also serious fights there in kiev, the confrontation, that all democratic european countries said that yanukovych should leave, this is not democratic. he does not see the people does not hear the people. here no one says anything, if they hit with a club, it means that in paris a woman is hit on the head. this is the street can’t dictate laws if people shoot, uh, so, uh, and the armed ones are aiming in kiev in 2014. this is a fight for freedom. everything that concerns the agenda of human rights and freedoms in the west is obviously designed for an audience outside of democracy has long become a political tool because in relation to its own, as you can see, no rights work. yes anastasia these people teach us democracy. thank you for how france is on strike against the reforms of akron anastasia ivanov told

this week of the president defined our position let me remind you about the so-called grain deal. it has been extended by 60 days. during this period , all problems with the export of our food and fertilizer must be resolved. what we actually agreed on last year at the time of the conclusion of this very deal so that african countries would not suffer in the event of a halt in the supply of ukrainian grain to world markets, russia , as vladimir putin said, is ready to replace them for free. thus, we want to strengthen trust between us and the african continent. let me remind you that the cooperation between russia and africa has a very long history. about this and the importance of supplying our food to africa, we spoke today with the russian ambassador to ethiopia and the plenipotentiary representative to the african union in the anti-saba, evgeny evgenievich. i welcome you. thank you for taking the time for us, well, the big question is this is a grain deal for sure this week.

the topic is very important. uh, and uh, our president voiced russia's position on this issue, namely, 60 days are given to solve all the problems associated with this deal with this grain deal, but the most important question. we actually set very strict conditions and it may happen that they will not be fulfilled, and therefore, in order for africa not to be left without grain, a was suggested, a and proposals. or rather, even more correct about what we can supply. e even free of charge from the volume of grain that was supposed under this deal. here, but i would like to ask how, in ethiopia, in general, in africa , they understand this topic, do they understand that it is not russia that is to blame for the problems of undersupply of grain to the world market. this topic was in my opinion. uh, inflated in the wrong direction

by our well-known geopolitical opponents, to whom it was necessary to somehow hide their own flaws in their policies and food financials, and in general their behavior in international affairs. uh, here, uh, you can speak in different ways, and from a sick head to a healthy one they rolled over and a hat burned on a thief. uh, in spite of all that homely veil around this topic, which was raised in the west. uh, the population of africans african politics. they are fast enough figured out what was what and in its overwhelming. e most. in my opinion. uh, they understand that uh is not a russian special war. operation. not in general, in principle, russia as such is to blame for

what is happening now in the grain , food, fuel and world markets. uh, this is evidenced by practically all , uh, our contacts, and they are quite numerous with the african corps with uh leadership, uh international regional organizations in africa, including the african union , maybe not all africans are openly at risk. uh, shooting at the microphone. eh, speaks out to a lot of people just uh and quite frankly. they say how they see this problem and what is behind it? however, i understand that africa is in dire need of, uh, grain, especially including our grain a and therefore, uh, what do you think, this is the cooperation that a has always been and we

helped africa well, historically was very active. why, let me ask you, what hinders in order to expand, uh, this cooperation, but in particular, uh, maybe there are problems with payments and so on, a now there is an initiative to create a joint russian african bank to simplify settlements and so on. how do you feel about this idea? well, there are very, uh, obstacles to the development of our comprehensive cooperation with africa, it is quite well known and has already been repeated many times. this is primarily a violation as a result of action. e our western opponents of the established chains of logistical production systems of financial settlements. er, of course, well, sure that all these, uh, problems will be solved. uh, and we

we will find options that will allow us to return to normal uh practices. uh, in this area is that you mentioned the idea of, uh, a russo-african bank. e, on my own behalf, i can only welcome this initiative. i believe that it is extremely important to e in all respects, not only. as part of grain deals or there supplies of uh, say uh fertilizer. well, in general, we need our own new mechanisms that do not depend on the will. uh, some uh, forces in the west, uh, with the help of which we could introduce normal economic cooperation with our african partners are like, uh, a bank. uh, how a russian-african

specialized bank could obviously become a very important tool in this area. well , of course, evgenievich, but still, ah. let 's get back to the grain, and of course, many countries need such grain. africa, as you know. hmm frankly, not a very rich region of the world, but nevertheless, which countries are especially. depends on external supplies. uh, well, let's go from the fact that there are 55 e countries in africa, so it would be difficult for me now, uh, well, just for example enumerate enumerate all parties that need assistance. i would only focus on the region that, as they say , is close to me, uh, this is african rock. uh, where a very dramatic situation is really unfolding now for uh, the fifth year. uh,

most of the countries in the region are ethiopia somalia kenya uh experiencing the strongest in the past 40 years. a drought that affects hundreds of thousands, if not millions of local residents. well, more precisely, of course, millions in ethiopia alone, the number of victims from drought and in need of humanitarian aid, it is estimated that there are about 20 million, and more people, therefore, of course, the issue of russian grain is very relevant for saving people to provide them with emergency assistance. it has always been very difficult in this region, but we have traditionally been closely connected with ethiopia since soviet times, and as i understand it, there are a lot of orthodox people in ethiopia who have ancient traditions . here are our relations with this region now,

how far they are progressing. uh, well our relationship with this region. e, always e have been traditionally friendly. let's take. as an example, uh, precisely ethiopia. uh, this year, we are celebrating 125 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between our strange. e, although the origins of these connections and has much deeper roots. e in 1898. the first russian plenipotentiary envoy, e, presented his credentials to the then emperor, the parties changed to the second and from that moment official relations between the state relations between russia and another were established, and here i would like to note that 125 years have passed

changed. ah, historical eras. socio-political formations both in our country and in ethiopia, and regardless of this , always between our countries. uh, there were very close ties based on a mutual understanding of mutual respect for friendship. well, of course , relations between the orthodox churches of the two countries have also made a huge contribution to the development of our bilateral relations. eh, our country has always consistently supported each other at all historical stages. uh during the first italian aggression against ethiopia in nineties e-e xix century. uh, at the court of the emperors or to the second were russian officers volunteers then the first

russian mission of the russian red cross arrived, which lay down. fundamentals of humanitarian cooperation now this year last year marked the 75th anniversary of, uh , the beginning of the activity of the russian red cross hospital named after jazz-machu-balchi. uh, let's take the middle of the thirties, when the fascist, italy again. uh, invaded, the limit of the then explanation was the soviet union first raised his voice. e in defense of the side that suffered from fascist aggression , by and large, we can assume that the first volleys of the second world war thundered precisely in the high mountain valleys of the then abyssinian state. uh, in the forty-first

year, on may 5, forty-one years, even before the start of our great patriotic war, she still wrote the first state, which, uh, was liberated from the fascist occupation. this became a kind of harbinger of that victory during which, after 4 years, our soldier was unloaded with a red thrust over the reichstag, uh it is worth noting. that, just like the soviet union, supported ethiopia on stripuns. e league of nations so and e, new leaders and all, khalis emperors. the first also rendered to the best of his ability. of course they were very limited. even if almost symbolically , but, nevertheless, the red army assistance fund provided financial assistance after the war. in the years, a new stage began in our

relations, which shifted to the sphere of economic ties of interaction of humanitarian cooperation in the mid -seventies, when to power in ethiopia uh came the military proclaiming the construction of socialism. eh, it has become, as it were , an additional ideological symbol for even greater rapprochement between our countries. that is , as you can see, both in those days and now , relations between our countries have always had the traditional character of friendship, mutual understanding , mutual trust and mutual assistance. and so tight. uh, such a close cooperation to be sure. this is a vision for the future. as i understand it, in the summer, uh, representatives of ethiopia will be at the russia africa summit as the country is preparing in general on the continent as a whole, and are actively preparing for this event

uh, of course, we hope that our ethiopian friends will take an active part. uh, in this outstanding event, which is being prepared in july of this year in st. petersburg. this applies not only to ethiopia but to all countries of the continent. we have sent our invitation to all leaders of all states. uh, africa is now u deployed uh, very active work to prepare myself. this e in moscow e established by the coordinating committee. uh, an organized committee that deals with preparation for this event. uh. we are sure that the upcoming events, just like its predecessor, which took place in sochi in 1919, will become an important stage in our

russian african cooperation. you are on the whole wide range of direction uh our interstate uh communications intersocietal humanitarian and so on evgeny evgenievich you are huge. thank you good luck with your work. i think that we will certainly discuss this topic again, since with africa a we have been more and more lately actively began to interact, and therefore there is something to discuss. thanks a lot. all the best, our broadcasts will be continued by the vesti duty program. and i say goodbye to my alexander revsky. surpassing in size the infamous stolichnaya

cherkizon worked like a watch, representatives of the fsb suspected for the owner of the market region. here is 1.2 billion rubles. you do not see any violation of the law in this, i do not consider anything. for example, the wire market 60-70 million went to a certain direction, who covered the dark affairs of financial bigwig never believe anyone i will fight to the last to justify them. we took on the case and conducted our own investigation. we hide everything by running

to work. we run. the crown from the flight of a projectile, as a result of which the heating main is damaged , we are trying to do everything in our power for people to fly.
