now let's talk about the weather in the european territory of russia, the frosts are intensifying, the volga regions are covered with snow, in yakutia at the same time, now, our meteorologist grigorov joins me, katya, good morning, well, tell me how it happens, what if in the central part of the country is cold, in principle, to be expected, then why in yakutia now, it happens when a cyclone passes through the region, this cyclone manages to capture a portion of subtropical ... heat, this is really surprising. in the following frames, not the middle zone and not even the black earth region, these are rains in yakutia in lensk and alekminsk, the day before the thermometers rose to +2°, snow melted and ice melted, we did not reach yakutskal, but due to insufficiently strong frosts of strong ice , problems began on ice crossings across the lena. several cars fell into the wormwood in front of dozens of observers. it goes on and on and on. oh, everything, help him, help him, people

, there is a cyclone passing through yakutia yesterday, and this cyclone managed to draw a portion of subtropical heat into its circulation. the interactive map shows that all of yakutia is painted in blue-lilac tones, it is frosty here, and only a small area is green, here the temperature is +3 +5. lensk experienced two season changes in one day: on monday at midnight -3, at 6 am +2.2°. the snow cover decreased by 3 cm, and during the day the warmth went away, at noon it got colder to -2.5°, by 6:00 pm it was almost -8, on tuesday night it was already -11. vladivostok expects an even sharper transition from season to season today. in the morning the temperature was -2, and in the afternoon it warmed up to +8°. the weather is sunny, tomorrow afternoon there will be rain +4, on thursday snow and rain +2, strong wind, on friday night the precipitation will stop and the temperature will drop to -1. in the european part of russia

, frosts are intensifying, the day before, even during the day in the murmansk region, in some places the thermometers remained below -20, the park is freezing lubica over the equator of the kola bay, a kind of compensation from nature was the northern lights over the region last night. at the same time, the volga regions are covered with snow. snow cover grew to a height of 13 cm in samara. in some places across the region. on the european territory of russia , the struggle between the cold anticyclone and cyclones continues. which yesterday covered the black soil with snow, today has shifted east to the southern urals, now its center is on the border between the samara and orenburg regions, the southern urals are in the warm sector, in orenburg, for example, over the past day the temperature has increased from -8 to +2, along the volga region in the rear on the path of the northern winds, the influx of cold is facilitated by the strengthening of the scandinavian anticyclone, with it

the arctic cold spreads across the russian plain, and the most difficult weather conditions are at the junction of heat and cold, you the snowfall began at night, by the morning the snow cover had grown to a height of 14 cm, the snowfall continues, during the day the snowdrifts will grow by another 15 cm. the maximum temperature for today is -2. tomorrow the intensity of precipitation will decrease, but still about 5 cm of snow will fall, in the daytime it will also be -2, light snow, it will get colder to -8°, well, on friday in the city it will already be -14, light snow will continue. it's cloudy in moscow today, very cloudy in some places. light snow, -6 in the daytime, no warmer, -7 in the evening, on the night of tomorrow within the city limits again down to 10 below zero and by the end of the week in the afternoon -7, on friday the snow will get a little stronger, well, at the end of the week we are waiting for a new one in the center of the country cyclone, real winter , apparently, thank you, katya, it was ekaterina grigorova, she talked about the weather throughout the country about its contrasts, now it’s different

topics, now we will go to vdnkh, where the russia exhibition is taking place and today is the day of the republics of tv, altai and khakassia. now the head of the republic of khakassia, valentin kanovalov, is joining the broadcast. hello, valentin olegovich. good afternoon, i am glad to welcome everyone. all regions present their achievements. what kind of program have you prepared for the day of khakassia at the exhibition? we really have a very rich program at the exhibition, including business, cultural and educational events. i invite everyone. visitors to the exhibition must visit stand of khakassia, we tried to combine our rich, ancient history and the modernity of the republic, its present, its achievements, today we will have a strategic session, which is dedicated precisely to the preservation of our heritage, and

promoting the development of the republic at the expense of our cultural and historical monuments, landmarks, this concerns both their preservation and the development of tourism in the region, and of course, i invite everyone to the kitchen, the house, the cuisines of the peoples of russia, where the taste of khakassia, our chefs, who came from the region, they will present a dish of national siberian cuisine, you will be able to get acquainted with the products of our producers, these include... sausages and gifts from the taiga, that is, in general, the day is very busy, to learn in detail about the program, you can come to our stand , speaking about achievements, let's now move on to the topic of those projects and the economic situation in the region today, how many investment projects are working and being implemented in the republic? well, in

general, i must say that of course, this is huge there are dozens of different investment projects in each industry; in general, our investment portfolio in the region is about 370 billion rubles. we must say that at the end of the twenty-first year , in terms of investment growth rates, we took first place in siberia and seventh in the country, and today about 50 billion rubles are invested in the republic annually, including projects in the field of tourism and agriculture. energy and other industries important to us, and of course, we try to pay special attention to the development of the investment potential of the region, and achievements in this regard, they are also represented at the stand of the republic of khakassia. the siberian regions just recently reviewed the implementation of the development strategy for siberia until the year thirty-fifth. what will change in the republic as

the plans contained in the document are implemented? yes, the development of siberia is generally extremely important, we understand that the strength of russia will grow precisely in siberia, and in kakase, since the nineteenth year, we have been implementing a development strategy until the thirtieth year, and of course, we took an active part in the development of the development strategy siberia to thirty-fifth year, and it included such key areas for us, such as energy, but also metallurgy, agriculture, tourism, and projects in these areas and, of course, infrastructure development, this is the abakan bisk transport corridor and the exit through khakassia tuva. for mongolia, and of course the development of our airport and a number of other projects, i would like to emphasize once again that, of course, for russia today it is extremely important to develop siberia, it is

through the development of siberia that russia will become stronger, you have already touched on this topic, but today, what are the main sources of income for the republic of khakassia ? well, probably, the situation is the same as in many other regions, income tax, tax on personal income , on the property of an organization, excise taxes, in general we must answer that, of course, the economy of khakassia dates back to the soviet, yes, parts of the tsarist era. depends on three key industries, this is the coal industry, the aluminum industry, and the third industry is hydropower, which are, well, such large taxpayers, but nevertheless, here in this year... we are experiencing growth in almost all tax and non-tax revenues. according to the ministry of finance, at the end of october, khakasi

took third place in the siberian federal district in terms of the level of cash execution of national projects. how is the region transformed as they are implemented? in general , from the first days of the implementation of national projects, the republic was actively involved in this process; over the past 5 years, we have succeeded in 7 c2. including, thanks to national projects, which are being implemented on the initiative of president vladimirovich putin, indeed the republic is transforming, in 5 years we have built more than 70 new social facilities, more than 300, repaired them, solved problems that had been accumulating there for decades, for example, we have completed the construction of our large sports complex, today we have no queues for kindergartens, we are gradually moving away from second shifts in schools, that is, in general , naxprojects really make it possible

to transform the constituent entities of the russian federation. and i have one last question, please answer it briefly, in khakassia there are more than 30,000 ancient monuments, many of them even older than the egyptian pyramids, are there enough scientific resources to fully preserve them and identify all the necessary measures. but in fact, archeology is extremely important for us in terms of the concentration of monuments per 1 km of khakassia - this is not only a unique place for russia, but in the world, we cooperate with our khakass state university, and for the development of the archaeological direction, the training of an increasing number of specialists, to every year scientific and archaeological expeditions come to us from moscow, st. petersburg, novosibirsk, and in general, khakassia, by and large, is a meka of archeology, and of course, we are trying to preserve this wealth for future generations. thank you, valentin oryagovich, i

krivtsov and lokomotiv defender alexander silyanov scoring their debut goals for the national team. eh, in yesterday's match , only one goal was missing to repeat the biggest victory in the history of the russian national team. let me remind you that in 2019, russia beat san marino with a score of 9:00. the match against cuba was the final one for the russian team this year. the next time our team will gather only in march. in the continental the hockey league hosted four regular season matches the day before. the second army derby of the season between ska and cska was again left to the st. petersburg team. the opponents played tightly and carefully, and there was no scoring extravaganza in this match. in the first period , vasily glotov scored a beautiful goal into the top corner. in the second period, andrei chevilev strengthened ska's advantage 2:0. the intrigue was brought back into the match by maxim mamin’s puck; in a 6:4 game, mamin scored a goal a little over a minute before the siren, but the team managed to win back sergei fedorov did not work out. 2:1 victory. this is the sixth victory in a row for
