simonyan and her deputies. the mere mention of today has long caused hysteria in the american establishment. back at a briefing in 2016, the head of the state department press service, and now the coordinator in the council white house national security and strategic communications director john kirby said that he was not going to put artie on the same level as journalists representing independent media. and what happened next, it seems, everyone remembers, according to the american authorities, the tv channel allegedly tried to interfere in the us presidential election, here again are the same sadly familiar and unsubstantiated accusations. rt is no longer just a propaganda machine for the kremlin, it is used to spread russian influence on american voters, in in particular through advertising agencies such as social design agency. this agency

february, and the launch of the crew dragon, which will pick them up, is scheduled for september 24. olga ponomareva has the details. in the history of the starliner, as with docking, one thing clings to another; if the emergency boeing shuttle is not unfastened from the iss, then the international space station. elon musk's dragon may dock, the same crudreggen that will evacuate the stranded astronauts from starlair in february of 2026, two spots have been left for them in the crew. so, the emergency shuttle will undock from the iss on friday evening and 6 hours later it should land at the test site in new mexico. if, of course, everything goes according to plan. if the weather does not allow us to undock on friday, we have a backup opportunity on tuesday, september 10. there is such a window every 4 days, that may coincide with the possible launch of the soyuz. not only the kryudreg but also the soyuz ms-26 were scheduled to launch in september, with the russian

ship tentatively scheduled to launch earlier than the american one, on september 11. even elon musk wrote on his page that russia, meaning the soyuz, is the only alternative. the starliner was plagued by technical failures from the very beginning. the launch was postponed several times, when the ship finally launched to the iss on june 6.

so that it would be ahead of the iss and above it, and after three or four orbits it would leave orbit. the flight director is not just explaining the procedure, judging by the available protocols, a regular shuttle immediately leaves orbit. the maneuver is needed so that the emergency starliner does not have a chance to damage the iss. we will consider the possibility of multiple engine fires along the way, this will be handled by the starliner flight control team, we call it a hot start after undocking. before the commissioning of elon musk's crudragon, from 2011 to 2020, american astronauts flew only on russian soyuz, but nasa had an order to make flights to the iss are as commercial and competitive as possible. and boeing has joined the race for government contracts with its starliner, which.

signals regarding the german economy have not come true, according to the kiel institute for world economy, the country's gdp will decline again in 2024. thus, one of the flagships of the german economy, the german auto industry, cannot withstand competition with chinese manufacturers. christina kuruma will tell you the details. volkswagen management is considering closing two factories in germany at once. this is reported by bloomberg and zidoichit saiting. this could be the first global closure of a group plant in its history. volkswagen's difficulties come as the german economy has been teetering on the brink of a technical recession for about two years. the government said the auto industry needs to improve its competitiveness. just over 4 million cars rolled off the assembly line in 2023, down 12% from pre-crisis 2019. exports are 11% below pre-covid levels. and

analysts say a decline in car production in europe is inevitable, european automakers, they will grow synchronously, and the same thing that is happening now with volkswagen, it will be repeated to a greater or lesser extent by other automakers in europe, the same chinese auto industry or manufacturers from south korea, from japan, they will compete more and more for the european market, and this... bloomberg calls what is happening a defeat for europe in the battle for the electric car market. according to the agency , there are more than thirty unprofitable automakers in the eu. analysts attribute this to europe's lag in the electric car space, dominated by tesla and chinese companies that are much cheaper to produce. volkswagen cited declining sales in china as one of the reasons for the possible closure of factories in germany. this is chinese competitiveness

on a global scale. which is actually becoming even more aggressive for companies that are present in china, like volkswagen. volkswagen is now importing cars from china, in a sense , competing with itself, and that's what 's happening with the german factories. they are not competitive with those in china. volkswagen said the company's financial situation is extremely tense. in the first half of 2024, the operating margin of the flagship brand fell to 2.3%. with a minimum of 6.5 required to reach this figure, in june last year they announced a cost reduction of 10 billion euros by 2026. in germany, volkswagen has about 300,000 employees, which is about half of all the concern's employees worldwide. the forced dismissal is contrary to the agreement with the workers, which has been in force for more than 30 years. the company should not make cuts for production reasons, as this could

lead to a major conflict with the trade unions. preserving jobs is a top priority for the german state of lower saxony, which owns 20% of volkswagen shares. several factors weigh on this kind of decision, on the one hand, it is the political lobby, a political force, on the other hand, of course, the trade unions, and on the third hand, there is also the history of economic profitability, the economic component of the auto giant. if we talk about percentage, i think that we are talking about 10-20% reductions there, somewhere, probably, we are talking about such a volume, it is clear that no one has any exact figures. earlier, brussels decided to respond with prohibitive duties on chinese cars, citing beijing's unfair subsidization of its own car market, but the benefits of this intervention for european giants have yet to be assessed. europe, it turns out, has become a hostage of its own policy, the laws of the market, they really work, all world experience has shown this, but when political component, such as... which

increased the cost of energy resources , primarily gas for europe, when everyone around, so to speak, is pursuing their own strategy, then this focus on the global market, it no longer works. according to the european central bank, of the five global auto industry hubs, the united states, the european union, china, japan and south korea, so far only american manufacturers have been able to fully recover from the pandemic and increase production volumes. in egypt , russian defense industry products were presented at the state corporation rosoboronexport organized its exposition at the international aviation and space salon egypt international air show. in addition, the air show showcased the developments of eight enterprises that are part of roscosmos. details in the report by alexander belibov. the debut international aerospace salon for egypt, which is currently taking place in the northern arab republic in the city of el alamein, brought together more than

200 companies from 30%
