announced the arrest in moscow of suspects involved in cocaine smuggling from latin america. they were arrested and a criminal case was opened. when caught red-handed , 673 kg of cocaine was found and seized from drug gang members. the wholesale value of the seized shipment on the russian black market exceeds rub 2.5 billion retail sales could bring the drug syndicate a profit totaling at least 6.5 vladimir putin congratulated security officials on their professional holiday. the date was set in 1995 . the president noted the high professionalism, courage and determination of employees of the fsb, svr and other special agencies. over the past year, much has been done to provide counterintelligence support for a special military operation and to protect life and security. citizens in the donetsk and

lugansk people's republics, in the kherson and zaporozhye regions. we know that the kiev regime, with the direct support of foreign intelligence services, openly took the path of terrorist methods, in fact, state terrorism. these are sabotage against civilian objects, transport and energy infrastructure, terrorist attacks against civilians, government officials and public figures. let me emphasize that it is necessary to strengthen anti-terrorism work in all areas, to use a wide range of technical operational capabilities of our intelligence services, actively interact with the ministry of defense and other departments. the protection of state borders requires increased attention, especially those areas that are located in close proximity to the line of combat contact. at the same time, i ask you to provide all

necessary help and support to residents of border regions. moscow and beijing have coped with this year's challenges in the field of trade and economic cooperation. the head of the russian government announced this at a meeting with the chairman of the people's republic of china. mikhail mishustin i talked with sidinping on the second day of our delegation’s work in china. the russian prime minister also conveyed greetings from vladimir putin to the chinese leader and expressed condolences for the loss of life during the war.

colleague, we talked about cooperation in the fight against infectious diseases, as well as joint exercises and training in the field of disaster medicine. another promising area is medical education. mikhail mishustin noted the parties’ desire to expand the number of medical students. also at the meeting issues of interaction within the framework of brix, the shanghai cooperation organization and the world health organization were discussed. the head of the russian foreign ministry will take part today. meeting of

the russian-arab forum in morocco. sergei lavrov has already arrived in the country. the plane landed at marrakech-minaro airport. this is the first meeting of ministers in 4 years. plans for the session were previously changed due to corona. virus. let me remind you that the forum for cooperation between russia and the league of arab states has been operating since 2009 and among its main tasks is supporting efforts to strengthen peace and security, develop trade and economic relations, and promote joint projects. the largest transport companies are preparing for the fact that the red sea and the soet canal will be blocked for at least several weeks, the american agency bloomberg reports. the reason is the international operation. guardian of prosperity the united states and its allies intend to end yemen's houthi attacks on commercial ships. the details of the operation are still unknown. some countries the middle east fears that intervention by western countries will only lead to an escalation of violence. also, many transport companies

are already sending their tankers and container ships along an alternative route bypassing africa. this path is about 10 days longer for $1 million before. let me remind you that the houthis promise to attack ships in the red sea that are allegedly associated with israel, they promise to attack them until the jewish state stops hostilities in the gaza strip. in moscow, the names of the winners of the national award in the field were announced future technology challenge. the award was launched this year. alexandra perfileva will tell you which developments were recognized as the best. winner of the award challenge nomination.

the winner in the perspective category was ilya simerenkov, he developed the largest quantum computer in russia, and he dedicated his victory to his mother. my mother named me after her student, she taught german at fiana, where i now work at the physics institute of the academy of sciences, in fact she determined your fate, and yes, my mother has the feeling that she knew everything from the very beginning. primary goal awards - to recognize fundamental breakthroughs. ideas and inventions that can influence modern science and change people's lives. this is a national award, it will be annual, and its task, well, in fact, so to speak, is to become an alternative to the most famous

prizes in the world, to focus on our achievements, in fact, not only to ensure recognition of scientists, but to help further connect, unite their ideas and developments s... the award ceremony is a whole immersive show, there are four stages, exactly the number of winners main scientific prize in 2023. these small cubes without backs have been prepared for the audience so that it is more convenient for them to turn to each stage where the winners will be awarded. these people work, these people act, these people create, create the present and future of russian science. there were four nominations in total: promising, scientist of the year, engineering solution, the name of the winner in the breakthrough nomination was announced by the general director of the state corporation rosata. the winner in the breakthrough category is pavlos lagoudakis. but

the best scientist of the year in the category was raoul geinedinov, for the discovery of fundamentally new drug approaches for the treatment of brain disease. to help people, i am a doctor, and for me the hippocratic oath is not empty words. this year alone , more than 200 applications were submitted for the award; the fund for the development of scientific and cultural relations together with gazprombank has ambitious plans. for decades, gazprombank has supported and is supporting and developing knowledge-intensive enterprises and teams. and founding a fund is a challenge. support is a wonderful national award for future technologies. this the next stage of our belief that the country depends on russian science and people who can create new horizons. each of the four winners will receive 10 million rubles for their further unique developments and new discoveries. alexandra perfileva, dmitry

vishkevich and nikolai purtov, lead. i hope how the global energy crisis and western sanctions have affected the russian energy industry and what state it is in. energy system of new regions, about this and more in an interview with our channel at the end of the year said the head of the russian ministry of energy nikolai shulginov. watch right after the short commercial. all the best is simple, like alpha business, online banking and business applications, all in one button, counting payments, accounting and lawyers, conduct all your business online. alfabank is the best bank for business. let's take it! will you make such a profit?

that citizens and consumers were provided with energy resources, i think we managed it,

well, there were some issues related to the fuel crisis, well, then, we’ll probably raise this topic again, as for electric power industry, then, uh, as you know, even at the end of the year we were faced with entering winter and the maximum load that the energy system experienced was +5 gw + 3%,

at the level of last year, both in production and in exports. something like this, nikolaylovich, let’s talk separately about the autumn-winter period, you have already mentioned it, and you and i... we have also discussed on air more than once the conditions under which power engineers are working today, the situation is actually difficult in many regions now in the south it is preserved, firstly, i want from you to hear what specific problems in the region today have not yet been fully resolved and, in general, is there enough equipment and specialists today to combat such climatic conditions? i can talk for a long time, start, but the fact is that you won’t surprise me with all sorts of icy ice accidents of various types that are anomalous there. natural disasters, but in fact i am amazed at the scale and parameters of these anomalies,

let’s start on november 19, these are six regions of siberia, the wind was up to 38 m/s, there were 440 thousand consumers without power supply, and then on november 27, this is already in the south, in the southwest all four territories: crimea, rostov region, kuban energy system, here in krasnodar. the region of dagestan, here about 2 million consumers were without power supply, and then on december 11 we again - the south and the capture of dagestan, again all the territories of the donetsk region, lugansk region, pskov region were subjected to these, which means also hunger-wind loads, most importantly, that in the south, especially in rostov and donetsk, there was freezing rain that captured part of lugansk,

this is a more dangerous meteorological phenomenon, which is very difficult to deal with, if the energy sector knows how to deal with icy wind with icy... loads, there are proven technologies, science, practice, how to deal with it, then with freezing rain, this is more dangerous, because the roads become impassable, everything, everything is in ice, the loads are high, so the power engineers overcome not only using equipment, but even on foot, in fact, at this time, debris of snow, debris of trees are formed, now we see that...

rostov has finished itself, they sent brigades there, yes, that’s why it’s a common task, we need to restore the power supply, and don’t forget that on new year’s day, when we all celebrate, our people will also work 24/7. speaking of new regions, how do you generally assess the passage of the winter period and infrastructure restoration, how is it going? well, it’s more difficult for them to restore. why are we directing efforts, because we purchased all the equipment, there are still, well , sometimes there are not enough resources , including human resources, so the teams went there with equipment, so there is something to restore, we just need time, a little bit, which means that climatic conditions will allow us to work more, in the past year about 40

billion was spent by all the companies that work there, these are not only network... companies novating companies at the federal level, and about 70 billion will be - in the twenty- fourth and twenty-fifth years it was spent on restoration. the work is going on, but the network and the energy system as a whole are weakened due to damage, by the way, these damages are repeated even today and during all the wind loads and ice loads, freezing rain, we are also experiencing damage, including to the power plant.

constant, and he recently reminded me of course that you said, firstly, i said it wrong, that is, this is a little taken out of context, well, let’s do this, if the conditionally rural tariff, this is an algebraic expression, there is a denominator in which since we have already increased the consumption and supply that he is talking about, yes, but if the denominator, that is, the numerator, in which there are costs for

fuel, for logistics, for repairs, for everything, they are no longer regulated by tariffs, this market environment. it is growing much faster, so it’s superficial to say for one moment what it means, but they increased the substitute, having changed our tariffs, this is impossible, i read, and he also said that in the far east there is not enough energy, you know, here of course, the far east is under the control of the ministry of energy, our situation there is a bit with repairs of thermal generation, so if thermal generation from the siberian generic company and rushydra is introduced, withdrawn during... repairs from modernization this is 15.00 mw until the twenty-eighth year there will be no problems with connection, also, as far as i remember, he said that we need to develop a program, a new program, yes yes. well, we’re not against it, well, we just need to determine where the load centers are, where the consumption centers are, because - we don’t need declarations of some consumers for specific ones, but objects, specific technical

ones - technical technological connections, development of technical solutions, but construction generation - this or that network sometimes, it is a long process design, construction and so on , takes 4-6 years, all consumers will build it, because this is an energy market, that is... all consumers, including the european part, in the urals, you need to ask those consumers who - regions, which said, these are metallurgists, chemists, oil refiners, they are generally ready to make such decisions, i think the answer will be obvious, you already at the very beginning mentioned the problems that the ministry of energy struggled with during this year, and of course, this situation in the fuel market, even in order to to stabilize it, a period from september to november was introduced. ban on the export of gasoline, how do you currently assess the situation on the market, are the reserves that are sufficient today - the volumes that are available, well, will they be enough for the next period of time for 24 years?

i think we dealt with this crisis together with the government, this decision was a common one, of course it was determined by world market conditions and so on, but we introduced the ban that you mentioned, a temporary ban on the export of gasoline, and we introduced it. duties are prohibited for those resellers, that they remain there - we have introduced increased standards for selling to the stock exchange, today we do not have any - problems with fuel supply and we see prices on the stock exchange are decreasing for stocks, stocks have also increased from 10 to 25%. uh, as far as i remember, in terms of fuel, this is more than 3 million tons. 2.1 is for gasoline, so we look into the future with optimism, but, of course, we have learned lessons,

we must control and make decisions more quickly, and, of course, volatility will be high on the world market, we must take all this into account in our decisions. how do you assess the volume of electricity exports at the end of this year, how was it distributed? electricity exports this year have decreased compared to last year, well, at the beginning, even before the second year, there were still supplies in finland, therefore, but the figures are approximately the same: about 13.5 billion last year, this year there will be about ten, export volumes have fallen to china, this is due precisely to the unsatisfactory energy balance in the east, so there will be about ten... not in china, exports to kazakhstan have increased, because the north of kazakhstan is scarce, to mongolia. i think that next year, if it happens, well, i

think that we will restore the energy balance, and if there is another year of average water, i think we will restore supplies to china, a lot of work was done in the twenty-third year within regional communities, including in the eu and... were the chairmen of the bsis, we will be in the twenty -fourth year, how do you assess the interaction of countries in the field of electric power industry today? let me remind you that we actually chaired the eu, we have made progress, i think we have made progress anyway in creating energy markets, but maybe we don’t to the end - all the market models there have already been developed, which means contracts and so on, but there is progress. yes, as for ip in the cis, we have accepted the concept of digital transformation and we continue to work, in a couple of days

there will be a cis electric power council, we will also work on how to correctly forecast balances there, how to overcome winter difficulties there, and on brix we next year, in my opinion, we will be represented there; according to brix, we have a platform for energy research. in these conditions of uncertainty it is very difficult, we can only say, only where we are, where we understand for sure, uh, let's start with the fact that uh in terms of coal we... will most likely

remain this year at the level of twenty-two and for gas exports , for gasification, for example, for gasification, we will now reach 738, the target value will be 74 74.7, well, we will increase the volume of gasification by about 0.9%, this is the work that is being carried out, including on social gasification, and so on further, for everything... related to oil production, we will work within the framework agreements, recommendations, tutelage , this is a separate job for us , gas production is increasing today, and we see, especially in recent months, november and december, daily production is growing, and ours has increased, supplies will increase - to kazakhstan to uzbekistan,

an agreement was signed, supplies through the central asia center gas pipeline, so the increase is underway, well, the increase is, of course, in vital natural gas, also this year we have almost reached last year, we will even increase it a little, well, next year we will increase it in electricity, adopted now program, energy development program, until the twenty-ninth year. we predict that in general over these 5 years there will be about a 2% increase in electrical energy consumption, well , we will remain at about this two percent, now we have an increase of about 1.3%, so it is important to work next year to provide energy resources for citizens , consumers, the economy, including the military-industrial complex, this is the task

we see, how... no matter what external pressure conditions have such an influence on us? thank you very much for the interview igorevich with happy new year, happy energy day on the 22nd, thank you, thank you too.

we will take on this case, it will be an honest detective story. the third international chess stars tournament has ended in moscow. its prize fund is 15 million rubles. stas ardikultsev will tell you who the winner was. chess stars quickly gained the status of one of the most prestigious tournaments, outstanding chess players in the world, a record prize fund and, of course, a game two format.

one in a fast rapit and a lightning blitz, there is almost no time to think about the move, the risk make a mistake...
