into force of the new fundamental law, as well as the beginning of the work of a democratically elected, representative legislative body of power, were of great importance, they became the basis for strengthening statehood and the system of power as a whole, for restoring social stability it was very important for a meaningful dialogue between different political forces . on main issues the country's development agenda, to solve those real problems that worried and still worry people, of course, i know, there are people here in the hall who experienced all this themselves, made the appropriate decisions, and can say, well, well, they accepted these laws, well, that they were not fulfilled, well, in some ways they were not fulfilled, in some respects they were fulfilled, however, a lot of things were not fulfilled, this is true, here... andreevich smiles, i see he

agrees with this, but you you know, what is the meaning, what is the value of the decisions made, were created legally, the legal foundations of the new statehood. over the past years, the work of both chambers, as the president noted, has, of course, become more professional, and this is reflected in its quality. in addition, the constitutional amendments introduced in 2020 , among other things, expanded the powers of the federal assembly, significantly strengthening it. influence and status, well, today in the hall, including the leaders of the parliaments of four new regions elected under russian laws, for whom it is now not easy and unsafe, and yet not one of them has any doubts, for whom are they working? here today as far as i know, our comrades are with us, the leaders of the parliaments of our four historical regions, donetsk and lugansk, already elected under russian law.

the ssp in russia managed to build a balanced system of relations between the branches of government, without, to quote the speaker of the federation council, tugging, without conflicts between parliament and government, which many other countries suffer from, and valentina matvienko called the tasks that the state faces today

tasks of historical proportions , and solve them this can only be done by a strong leader at the head, who is respected and trusted by citizens. i think that i will express our... they will try to organize information attacks on our country, on our electoral system, which, by the way, unlike many western ones, presupposes a direct popular expression of will without intermediaries, without various

electoral surrogates, the task of all government bodies is ours colleagues with you to ensure the absolute internal legitimacy of the elections, not to allow... the slightest violations. 30 years in the context of history is a very short period, but for him, russia managed to go from a weak state to the strongest european economy, which is one of the five world leaders. vyacheslav volodin recalled this at the council meeting. as the chairman of the state duma emphasized, it is impossible to blindly copy other people’s experience or allow interference in one’s own affairs. and he called the president’s decision to run for a new term necessary, first of all. the president's decision to stand out as a candidate for a new term is necessary, first of all, for our citizens, our country and to the global community

that wants to live in peace, to countries that want to develop and resolve their issues not under the dictation of washington brussels, that want to be strong, sovereign. we have many tasks ahead of us, they require constant attention and effective legislative support, speaking about this at today’s council the president again reminded legislators and emphasized that the vector should, as before, be set by an understanding of the common goals and fundamental interests

of the russian people. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov arrived in tunisia, where he the diplomat has a number of bilateral meetings planned. lavrov flew to tunisia from morocco, where he took part in the russian-arab meeting. at the end of the event, the diplomat said that moscow welcomes any constructive ideas from the league of arab states to resolve both the ukrainian and middle eastern crises. elizaveta khramtsova will tell you what else was discussed at the forum. the ancient part of marrakech, the medina, is unlikely to have changed much since camels were used in morocco as transport rather than as a tourist attraction. here fakirs cast a spell on kubor. narrow shopping streets radiate out from the square, bustling with life. at one of them is the lo samovar cafe, although the russian menu only includes pancakes, which, however, are called moroccan. to discuss what connects north africa and the middle east with russia, marakesh convened the sixth session of

the russian-arab cooperation forum. the format of high-level negotiations between moscow and representatives of the league of arab states was created in 2009 and... egypt, moscow is grateful to cairo for assistance in organizing the evacuation of fellow citizens from gaza and morocco. as the main representative of the palestinian cause, the palestinian problem, there is no alternative to the creation of mechanisms

that would control the implementation of palestinian rights by the international community. the parties once again confirmed the same position in a joint statement, but before making political decisions, it is necessary to take one practical step, to stop the fire. unfortunately, our numerous attempts, together with like-minded people, to achieve adoption by the council un security resolution. demanding a sustainable ceasefire are met with stiff opposition from the united states, which takes a one-sided, one-sided position, and, as usual, tries to usurp any processes and any initiatives. external forces want to use the conflict in gaza and spark a war in the region, sergei lavrov emphasized, and the reason is a sense of personal exclusivity, which the former hegemon cannot refuse. in the case of ukraine, in the case of our neighbor.

representative of the national council us security john kirby said the us-led military operation in the red sea had already begun. the hussites reported yemen’s readiness to enter into a people’s war with the united states and

israel. our special correspondent in the region, stanislav berenwald, will tell you more about events in the middle east. canada announced that it will soon send as many as three military officers to the multinational operation guardian of prosperity against the yemeni kussites. before this , the netherlands also promised to help and send several more officers to germany. i'd like to help, but cannot, there is no suitable ship, so the former us ambassador to yemen even stated that the prospects for the operation are very, very vague. i know for sure that we will have to very carefully monitor the events that will happen in the coming months. this is an international cooperation operation, interestingly, this is not the first time this has happened, this has already been done in the strait of adana, such operations were carried out against the samalian pirates, where in addition to the europeans the chinese also participated, it...

the usa, great britain and italy, which they are now sending warships to the shores of yemen and are ready to respond to any military... it is important to look at this from the outside, about six countries border the red sea, the red sea is a channel for 10-15% of all world trade. 8% of world grain trade and 12% of world seaborne oil trade. of the total trade volume on the red sea, ships belonging to greece, china, japan and germany account for 40 to 50% of transit. all of this highlights the dependence of these economies around the world on strategic trade. in yemen, meanwhile, they say that they are ready to attack only

dry cargo ships, and any targets that are connected with israel, nothing threatens any other ships in the waters, they can pass through completely calmly, but nevertheless, they also declare that in the event threats from this western military coalition, naval coalition, we are also ready to respond adequately. the naval unit of the armed forces of yemen, with god's help , carried out a military operation against two ships heading towards the israeli state. armed forces will not hesitate to strike any israeli ship in the red sea or any other. a place they can reach. us fighters fly over the gulf of adam, catch yemen drones, spend expensive missiles on this against, well, several thousandths in dollar equivalent of drones, but nevertheless they say that they manage to shoot down about 15-20 drones now in

the waters in front of the red sea there are about 400 dry cargo ships that are essentially blocked. now they are either looking for ways bypassing the bustling canal, or intend to return to their home ports. stanislav bernwalt, andrey potapov, reporting from beirut, lebanon. the colorado supreme court banned donald trump from running for president, but local republicans found a way out. they are ready to abolish primaries and push their candidate through the national party system. at the same time, the ban on participation in elections will not come into force at least until january 4 of this time. enough for trump to appeal, more about the election campaign the situation in the states will be told by the chief bureau of vgtrk in new york, valentin bogdanov. without waiting for donald trump to be dragged through the courts in other states, colorado tried to solve the 2024 problem in one fell swoop, no candidate, no problem. we have breaking news,

the colorado supreme court, just imagine, has ruled against donald's inclusion in the search. after the american civil war , it prohibited former confederates from holding public office. thus, an event three years ago, the storming of the capitol, was equated to the events of two centuries ago in colorado. 6th january. and trump, even before the court’s decision, was called his mastermind. corrupt joe biden, far left lunatics are desperately trying to stop us by any means necessary, ready to violate the us constitution. joe biden is a threat to democracy. the colorado primary is set for march 5, super tuesday. in itself, this state means little for the trump company, but the precedent is important here: no matter how it all ends, the vote will already go down in

the history books, and well, if only in the form of a legal incident, and not something worse. the country is now powder keg, and these judges are just throwing matches into it. trump, meanwhile, his fellow party members are rising, even formal competitors are outraged. i promise i will withdraw the nomination if trump is not returned to the ballot. support for trump came from a completely unexpected direction from john bolton, who can’t stand him.

this is trump's florida estate, but the statement that so offended biden was made by his opponent at a rally in new hampshire. the republican candidate quoted putin about the rottenness of america.

why does biden take hunter with him at all? it’s unclear, yesterday’s filming, the lawn of the white house, immediately after the president of the united states , his unlucky son descends down the ladder of marn’s helicopter. so, hunter is apparently in the white house, having defied a congressional subpoena, while he faces up to 17 years behind bars, that is, a man facing prison time for not paying taxes, at the expense of american taxpayers.
