hello, international review is on air, in the studio fyodor lukyanov. today on the international review program. events of the week. chronicle, facts, comments. diplomacy during a split, the high art of communication in hostile conditions. the abolition of russia and new sanctions, a good try, but no. materials of our program. escalation of the conflict in gaza. why doesn't anyone want a sequel? a threat to peace in the middle east? when

military-political tension grows, it cannot be done without misfires, amid talk of an imminent conflict with russia, the british navy decided to test the trident 2 intercontinental ballistic missile. the launch at the end of january was carried out from the vanguard nuclear submarine, and defense minister grann schabs watched right there on board. it didn't work out very well; the rocket fell into the ocean. right a few meters from the submarine, that is, from the minister. the incident was called an anomaly. in fact, the nuclear deterrent forces regularly ensure the safety of his majesty’s subjects. true, the previous test 8 years ago too it didn't work out. the rocket veered dangerously off course and self-destructed. anything can happen. rule britain's seas and beyond as best you can.

"you have lost an atomic bomb, its cost will be deducted from your salary." this statement is attributed to an unknown american general, although most likely this is a story, but atomic bombs were actually lost and even dropped on people’s heads. little is known about incidents with air-launched nuclear supplies in the ussr; perhaps there were none, unlike incidents with the submarine fleet or ballistic missiles. but the american one...

a separate capsule that triggered a chain reaction and caused a nuclear explosion was not installed, but the detonation of a high-explosive warhead or damage to the hull during a fall could cause contamination of the area. so in may 1957 , a mark-17 bomb fell from a b-36 bomber in new mexico. it happened not far from the warehouse. with a nuclear weapon, the bomb detonated and exploded, but the plutonium core was missing, so instead of a nuclear explosion, contamination occurred area and another explosion killed a cow. another case involved crew error. in 1958, on one of the b-47s , a malfunction light on the bomb release mechanism came on. the navigator went to check, climbed into the descending device and activated it with his weight. the bomb broke through the hatch and flew

down into the residential area of ​​​​mars bluve in south carolina; only by luck , the explosion of the high-explosive part left a crater 20 m in diameter and did not kill anyone. six people were injured, three of them children. by the way, the navigator did not fall out of the plane, everyone was paid compensation. in 1966, in the skies over spain, a b-52 collided with a tanker plane. the crew of the tanker died immediately, and four of the seven pilots of the bomber were saved. there were four thermonuclear bombs on board. one’s parachute opened normally and she was quickly found. two crashed into the ground and exploded. it was necessary to carry out decontamination, but in 2006 an increased background was discovered again. and the last bomb fell into the sea. during her search, the first african-american diver became disabled. his story became.

basis for the film military diver. if you float up to the command, consider yourself to have failed the course. the plane wreckage did not kill anyone on the ground, but it was hidden. the incident was impossible, operation chrome dome, in which part of the b-52 was always in the air with nuclear weapons , was in danger of being closed, it was canceled after another incident in greenland. the military-political crisis around ukraine remains the main global topic, pushing the war in palestine into the background. the situation there is far from being resolved, but... the feeling of fate has passed, another tough and bloody middle eastern confrontation, which essentially changes little, but the ukrainian conflict is perceived as something turning point for the whole world, by the way, why? partly because

the biden administration has decided to raise the stakes, to turn the conflict into a battle to preserve a rules-based order, an ethical showdown between democracy and autocracy. "the russian side has also significantly raised the stakes, because moscow has long been demanding a reconsideration of the principles of european security established after the cold war. in my opinion in my opinion, biden made a mistake by inflating the game in this way. it turned out that only europe is in solidarity with him, because the rest of the world does not at all believe that their sovereignty and territorial integrity depends on whether they accept the democratic model, as the united states sees it. the future of international."

words took 12 hours, this is an unacceptably long time, while the world was on the brink of nuclear war. on june 20, 1963 in geneva, representatives of the usa and the ussr, charles steele and semyon tsarabkin signed a memorandum on establishing a direct line of communication. contrary to the common name direct telephone line, it was neither direct nor telephone at that time. communication took place along the washington-london line. copenhagen, stockholm, helsinki, moscow. a submarine cable was laid across the ocean. the backup channel was a radiotelegraph using a relay station in moroccan tangier. and only in 1978 communications became satellite. communication took place

in the form of text: in moscow they wrote in russian, in washington in english. each side itself translated the message. on august 30 , 1963, via a hotline with the help of... the americans conveyed a funny phrase that contained all the letters of the english alphabet: a fast, brown fox jumped over the back of a lazy dog ​​and the numbers from zero to nine. the first, important message was the message about the assassination of john kennedy in november sixty- three, and the first exchange of messages took place on june 5, sixty-seven, when israel began ... military operations against arab countries, on that day the us secretary of defense, robert mcnamara woke up president johnson at 7 a.m., receiving a hotline message from soviet premier alexei kosygin asking him to put pressure on israel to stop the war in the middle east. during

the six-day war, washington and moscow exchanged 19 messages, but the hotline began to be used not only in crisis situations. for example, johnson ordered the transmission of information about the flights of american spacecraft under the apollo program to the ussr. nixon sent his first letter to brezhnev via a hotline at seventy-one during the military conflict between india and pakistan. this time, washington asked moscow to convince delhi and show restraint. nixon used it more than two dozen times, but carter only three times. by his own. he sent moscow his toughest message during his entire tenure as president, this confession, which he sent via a hotline , which happened shortly after the entry of soviet troops into afghanistan, at the end of seventy-nine. during the times of reagan and gorbachev , an innovation appeared: they began to transmit information

use fax. this made it possible to transmit not only text, but diagrams, maps and diagrams. contact was maintained even after the collapse of the soviet union. in 2016, president obama sent a message to the kremlin demanding not to interfere in the american elections.

into the european union and postponing its accession to nato. from the russian point

of view, this is not a compromise at all. can the alliance officially abandon expansion? if there was a chance, then earlier, more than two years ago, i wrote that it was time to close the doors of nato. this was not widely understood then, now, especially now, i would not have put forward such a proposal. of course , under the influence of the move, they would make public binding statements that ukraine should join nato, it has earned the right to membership, and this is a deeply ingrained part of western political rhetoric, not to mention the ukrainian government itself, which has repeatedly expressed its intention to join. i do n’t know how all this can be annulled, although there is an element of surrealism, it doesn’t seem to me that

ukraine is now any closer to membership nato than 5, 10 or 15 years ago, and president biden has made it clear that there are no prospects until the war is over. it’s a paradox that the topic around which they are so furiously breaking the copy is, in general, far from reality, but it is real enough to provoke an acute conflict, and it is not clear how to get out of it. adam zyglis with a typical american approach. russia is heating up the conflict. the dish inside the microwave says cold war. 2014 is the year the events began. the button says: warm up leftovers. bill bremhit takes a philosophical approach. an evening of memories, the boy asks his grandfather. tell us about the cold war, what was it like then? to which he replies: don’t rush, you’ll soon find out for yourself. john darkov does not lose his composure, possessing

a certain amount of humor. “hello, neighbor ,” says the man with the shovel. i’m building a wine cellar, or a nuclear shelter, it depends on the news. a view from beijing, a drawing by a desperate media group, china central television. on the bed it is written, a patient with a mental disorder, a new cold one.” . looks threatening, a blooming garden below and two platinums, ukraine and the usa, it’s even difficult to imagine how all this could end. the other day, the financial times, a prominent european commentator ivan krastev, proposed treating ukraine like west germany in the early

fifties, recognizing the loss of some territories to russia, and a smaller ukraine. be accepted into nato on full grounds. one of nato's problems in the ukrainian issue is that the alliance is generally not equipped to deal with a conflict of this kind. nato was created in the end of the forties, when there was a stable community of western european states on one side of the iron line. they were given full security guarantees to contain the ussr. a very clear task, the situation with ukraine has nothing to do with that.

aspect of the ukrainian conflict played out far, far away from the scene in ecuador. a dispute arose between moscow and china, which showed another facet of the modern way of conducting diplomacy. ecuador is the largest exporter of bananas in the world and the main supplier

of this product to russia, which in fact is a grass. they buy it from us even more often than apples. pears. last year , ecuador supplied 75 million boxes to the russian market, which is more than 95% of our country’s total need for bananas. against this background, the news about the restriction of exports to russia by five out of twenty ecuadorian companies shocked local suppliers. during the inspection of the next batch, rosselkhoznadzor detected in it the larvae of the polyphagous humpback fly, a dangerous pest and a potential carrier of cholera. and a day later, representatives of the organization reported a violation phytosanitary requirements for the supply of flowers from ecuador. the claims were preceded by a diplomatic scandal. in january, president of the republic daniel naboa announced his intention to transfer samples of soviet military equipment worth $200 million to the united states in exchange for new american weapons, which violates

the terms of the russian-ecuadorian arms supply contract. the united states has declared its intention to contribute to the peaceful resolution of conflicts. the day before, rosselkhoznadzor reported that ecuadorian enterprises will be allowed to transport to russia, but only under the guarantee of the ecuadorian competent authority based on the results of a detailed laboratory examination. analysts

have calculated that if russia completely bans the supply of ecuadorian bananas and nails. the republic will lose up to $750 million in profits per year and tens of thousands of jobs. latin america is a place about which it is pointless to talk about it in a dry reference style. therefore, we asked to continue the topic of commander sergei, the unbending guard of our screen. tse. only 4 tons or 10 million doses, all this on the border with what is now a special country, the riots that

the drug mafia staged in ecuador in january were rightly classified as an internal armed conflict, requiring the intervention of the army, as the young president put the question. our melody is victory day, to which, having been elected, nobow climbed the stairs of the presidential palace. and before that, as a senator, he headed the friendship group with the russian federation council, at a time when his predecessor, president lasso, after february twenty- two, actually froze ties with russia, but also, nobo is the same one who, having been elected, sent his chosen one with him in tandem as vice president, ambassador to israel. today , the actions of the newly elected presidents and vice-presidents of some latin american countries seem so extravagant that you come to the conclusion that politics is over. yes.

tupad arose precisely because the soviet drying guns that peru had could not fly precisely because of the soviet povo-igla installations that ecuador had, but let’s say that was

a long time ago, the needles were bought, it seems, from nicaragua, but here even now these ecuadorian flowers in miami were coming for valentine’s day, so popular among western christians, in russia, for which ecuador is the third trading partner in latin america after brazil and mexico, rosselkhoznadzor. has decreed that both ecuadorian flowers and ecuadorian bananas will be supplied less on any given day due to the identified, new to most of us , term, multi-berry humpback fly. this week, ecuadorian media outlet primissiyas asked the russian ambassador to ecuador, vladimir sprinchana. is there any connection between sanctions against banana exporters and president naboo’s statement on the transfer of weapons, these are two completely different topics for... information: the head of rosselkhoznadzor sergei dankvert is the co-chairman of the russian-ecuadorian intergovernmental commission, but it did not meet for 3 years, at first because of

covid, well, that would be fine, but then because of the position of the previous president of ecuador, what about weapons? according to the agreement of this century, 2008, ecuador must agree on the transfer to third countries of its existing soviet russian weapons with moscow. the russian ambassador in kieto pushed for this when he achieved it.

the ecuadorian indians, that’s who say that they still don’t feel safe, but this is definitely a purely internal matter of ecuador, it’s clear - this is the fruit of diplomacy, sergey brilyov, alexey kalashch and evgeny makarov, especially for the international review program from. the peculiarity of not only military, but also socio-political confrontations in the modern world is their comprehensive nature; there are practically no areas that are not covered by polarization. culture, of course, is no exception; what was previously resorted to to overcome the split is now increasingly spurring it. the phenomenon of social exclusion of cancel culture or cancel culture originated in the united states. the very word abolition in relation to a person was first heard in the early nineties in an action movie.

until then , cancel culture was called call out culture. in 2017, after being accused of sexual harassment, one of the most powerful producers in hollywood, harvey weinstein, was canceled in the united states. he was deprived of awards, film projects and put on trial. after the incident, a movement against mitu harassment appeared on the internet. a wave of stories of harassment by

politicians swept across the world, famously. an institution of public censure , bordering on bullying, for incorrect statements or behavior that goes against the current agenda, sexism, racism and homophobia, anyone can fall under kensling, and often without taking into account when and under what circumstances it happened, while those those who cancel others believe that they are acting in the interests of the public good, and those who are subjected to cultural boycott incur reputational... and

financial costs. the annual vienna festival, which will be held in may and june, announced the cancellation of the concert planned for june 12 on the stage of the burg theater. the german radio orchestra, conducted by theodor kurenzis, was to perform benjamin britton's war requiem. maestro kurenzis is a greek by birth, working in russia, but his participation is against it. ukrainian conductor oksana lyn performed. she also participates in the festival together with the kiev symphony orchestra. kurenzis did not condemn the russian actions, and ukrainian musicians considered it impossible to perform with him at the same event. the organizers met them halfway.

benjamin briton conducts his war requiem, a poignant anti-war work. theodor kurenzes is one of the greatest modern masters, i hope he will delight us with this performance. attempts to boycott culture are related. with russia are undertaken regularly, although the intensity is decreasing. in some cases, political instructions work, sometimes not. our author eduard shillin visited the famous russian artist mikhail shemyak and asked: what is the situation? today, of course, the situation of the russian intelligentsia is very difficult, and i would say, somewhere sad, because broken ties

are very... difficult, so to speak, in general today to be a representative of russian culture, that’s why i think that we will wait until something has to change, some think that it will last for a long time, some think that maybe it will even get worse, but i, so to speak, by my nature, probably
