james baker promised gorbachev that nato's borders would not be expanded, there was such an agreement, and the last straw was the cia-backed coup in ukraine in 2014. and as for the special military operation, it is connected with the protection of the russian-speaking population in lugansk, donbass, and crimea. thank you for inviting me to this program, for me it is a chance to feel peace of mind, knowing that i am contributing to peace on earth and goodness. are we welcoming

autumn? at what rate will the arctic cold break through to the russian plain, where there is already very soon there will be night frosts? we will tell you about this in the next 20 minutes, here are some other topics we will touch on. circus on the ruins of the energy system. what did the head of the european commission vonderlaen promise zelensky. why did they put a rusty transformer in the center of kiev, how many hours a day will the average ukrainian sit without light, heat and water this winter. thousands of pagers and radios exploded almost simultaneously in the ulevanie, what were they stuffed with, how did they manage to secretly plant explosives in such a large number of devices that caused a detonation. russian scientists explained how in one of the most...

autumn comes into its own, but it does so very delicately: this week, the vast expanses of the russian plain were still abnormally warm, because of the heat in the south , wildfires broke out, meanwhile cyclones...

visual smog, ash fell from the sky, the flames approached the roadsides, driven by a strong wind, the flames moved from dry vegetation to the forest, from there they have already spread to buildings, before that the neighboring village of alkhovoe burned, eyewitnesses shared on social networks footage of the aftermath, you see, well, here's your kitchen, here it is, in the rostov region the situation was stabilized on monday, the left bank of the don was completely extinguished, but the stormy weather continued to cause problems. in the village of aleksandrovka in the azov region, two fires broke out in one day. one broke out first due to a wire overlap. sparks fell on the grass and soon the nearest house caught fire. an elderly couple died in the fire. in addition to the storm wind, another factor in the rapid spread of the fire was the drought. space images clearly demonstrate how shallow the krasnodar reservoir has become. it is now only 6.5% full. the dried-up part has turned into a natural desert, where... quad bikers race.

the cause of the abnormal heat and precipitation deficit was a vast anticyclone that spread over the european territory of russia. exactly. it blocked the path of cyclone boris, which eventually poured out all its moisture reserves on the countries of central and eastern europe. poland, romania, austria and the czech republic suffered the most from the storm, and italy also got it. torrential rains caused massive flooding in these countries. at least 22 people died. serious damage was caused to agricultural infrastructure. rivers burst their banks, dams were in danger of collapsing. in one of the voivodeships of poland , an entire city had to be urgently evacuated, in the south of the country, thousands of hectares of arable land along with the harvest went under water, in many areas, train traffic was suspended, and roads were also severely damaged, in austria in the mountainous regions of tyrol the precipitation fell in the form of snow, last week there was thirty-degree heat here, and

now there are meter-high snowdrifts. drowned western europe dried up the russian plain, the same vortex, blocking the anticyclone since the beginning of september. dominating in the atmosphere. in the area of ​​the anticyclone, the highest pressure is in the central part, therefore, air flows directed to its periphery are formed in the surface layer. to compensate for this outflow, air masses in the middle atmosphere descend to the surface of the earth. this is not only prevents the development of intra-mass rain clouds, but also disperses frontal clouds breaking through the territory. center of high pressure, in addition to the most severe drought, another consequence of the influence of the anticyclone on atmospheric processes, contrasts in temperature conditions, along the eastern periphery of the center of high pressure , rather cold air spread, so that

frosts hit the volga region and the urals, by the way, they usually begin here on average a decade later, at the same time in the western regions of the russian plains... but now the situation in the atmosphere has changed dramatically, the fact is that a powerful cyclone has broken through in the northeast of european russia, and now this vortex is pumping air masses from the equatorial barintsev sea into the region. in most areas of the russian plain, the arctic invasion will develop on... cloudless anticyclonic weather, so that at night the cold air will begin to cool down additionally, causing frosts, this process will reach its peak by monday morning, look, in the frost zone there will be a huge territory from the coast of the kola

peninsula to the moscow region, night frosts can hit even in some places and the middle volga in the foothills of the southern urals in the center of the country this will happen almost a week earlier than the climatic dates, and if the slightly cloudy weather has activated the cooling processes, it will also help to get rid of the arctic invasion. by the middle of next week , cold weather will persist only in the north of european russia, but in the rest of the territory it will noticeably warm up, although there is no talk of returning to the previous heat. during the day in the middle zone in the northwest the air will warm up to plus. 18-23 in the south and up to +23,28, this is how the temperature will change in the center of russia, the peak of the cold snap in the region is on sunday, so in moscow the daytime temperature will drop from +20 to +14, on the night of monday

the thermometers will generally fluctuate around zero, but then the temperature pendulum will also swing sharply in the other direction, on wednesday. at night already +6, and in the afternoon even +22. on other topics, in lithuania they are dismantling the test, so that later in parts it can be sent to ukraine, and also europe promised another independent loan of 35 billion euros to save the kiev regime's military machine from an energy collapse this coming winter. the head of the european commission, ursula vonderlein, personally came to kiev to talk about new measures to support the zelensky regime. will all this be of any use? let's ask yevgeny tishkovets. yevgeny, what kind of tes does lithuania want to give to ukraine? vadim,

the lithuanian leadership seems to be acting on the principle of "here's to you, what 's no use to us." the vilnius tes-3, which was built back in the days of... soviet union closed in 2016. there are few details yet, but the press reported that its components would allegedly be used to restore facilities in ukraine damaged by russian missiles. lithuania inherited from the ussr. experts point out that vilnius is trying to kill two birds with one stone with its initiative. the lithuanians' proposal is possibly related to the fact that they want to give away what they don't need, and then ask the european union for money. now the ukrainian authorities are saying that the winter will simply be a nightmare. and are asking the european union, others western countries, to provide all kinds of assistance, they are sent equipment and they are very

unhappy, they say: give us money, we don't need equipment, send us money, but they need money because it can be stolen, and equipment needs to be installed. kiev activists manage to arrange a circus even on the ruins of their own energy system, the other day on one of the central squares of the ukrainian capital for some reason... they put up a rusty transformer that was out of order. what did they want to say by this, that the russians deprived ukraine of its last transformer? but the catch is that the transformer only converts energy, but does not generate it. and the main problem of the kiev regime now is precisely energy generation. the international energy agency has calculated that in winter, peak demand in the independent country will increase to 18.5 gw. for comparison, in summer it was 12. supply deficit. electricity can reach 6 gw, which is equivalent to denmark's peak demand. in winter, consumption will increase,

and there is practically nothing to cover this increase in consumption. the situation is further aggravated by the fact that ukraine is now quite a lot imports electricity, but in many ways this can be done precisely because europe has surpluses, and in winter europe itself will increase its consumption volume, especially if this winter is at least standard in temperature, there is no talk of any large-scale repairs, because many generating facilities there need to be repaired for years, or simply built anew. in short, gloomy winter days. for the average ukrainian, they will go like this. there may be no power from 4 to 18 hours a day. this, by the way, is a forecast un. due to blackouts, communication will only be available for 4-6 hours a day. mobile operators explained that without electricity, towers will not be able to work normally. heat supply is also under threat. it is even more difficult to say what will happen to heat supply, because if there is not enough heat supply, then people will try to warm up with electrical appliances,

and for these few hours, when your electricity is turned on, consumption will immediately go off the charts, because people will try to warm up with energy devices, and this will further aggravate the situation with the electricity shortage. the prospects are so -so, but the situation is not any easier now: kiev is suffocating in smoke from fires, the city is filled with the acrid smell of garrison and there is nothing to breathe. this is the price to pay for the arson of centuries-old forests that ukrainian militants set along the line of combat contact, not taking into account that the wind could blow in their direction. now kiev has come out on top in the world in terms of air pollution. it is surprising that the cunning kiev authorities have not yet asked west money to fight smog. the middle east is in the spotlight this week after a series of explosions in lebanon, the conflict in the region flares up with renewed vigor. the attack was carried out with

the help of thousands of mined communication devices (pagers and radios). the russian foreign ministry has classified all this as an example of international terrorism and an act of hybrid warfare. how thousands of devices were activated almost simultaneously and how was it technically possible. the most technologically sophisticated terrorist act in history, which was prepared for years, mass explosions of hezbollah communications equipment occurred on september 17 and 18 in lebanon, during the first wave, thousands of pocket pagers exploded, killing at least 12 people and injuring more than 400, of whom about 500 were partially or completely blinded, before the explosion, the pagers began to beep, so many managed to bring them ... to their faces, this is how the iranian ambassador in beirut suffered, losing one eye. the next day

, radios detonated, and explosions of other electronics were also reported. this terrorist attack is a state, it is demonstrative, it is provocative, if in one moment it is possible, excuse me, to destroy or at least maim so many people, then imagine, and if it is other technical, well, let's say, telephones, something else, what they did. it will echo around the world, because it changes the whole situation in technical, if you like, war, in technical terrorism. pagers are used by members of the hezbollah movement as a closed system. communication, the least susceptible to hacking and wiretapping. with the help of these devices, long out of circulation, the organization wanted to avoid espionage from israel, but in the end, hisbollah's switch to pagers turned out to be fatal. according to the new york times, israeli intelligence services had been preparing a techno-terrorist attack for several years. in order to turn the small boxes for receiving text messages into mini-bombs,

a front company was created with its own production in hungary, and the hungarian company concluded a contract with hezbollah on behalf of... the taiwanese company gold apollo. all pagers were of a new series, an updated series, which had been ordered from a taiwanese company that handed over the order to a plant in the czech republic. it seems that the plant placed a stash. the stash included the explosives themselves, a detonator, and a modified board that responded to a specific signal. on the one hand, this is a very bright and superbly planned operation that will go down in textbooks. on the other hand, it is actually an act of mass terrorism. initially , there was a version of a hacker attack by israeli intelligence services, which led to overheating of the pagers' batteries and their subsequent explosion. however, as new information came in, information, this version was quickly dismissed. experts examined the unexploded pagers and came to the conclusion that a small amount of explosive was hidden among the electronic components on the device's board.

it is extremely difficult to detect such a bookmark. it is assumed that we are talking about class substances. explosives weighing presumably 20 g were placed in pagers serially at the production stage, and were activated by heating. the heater could have been an led, under certain conditions it is capable of heating up to a high temperature and give a spark. probably the led was included in the pager's electrical circuit in such a way that it intercepted the charge from

the battery. the trigger for intercepting the charge could be a code message sent to the device. detonation system. there are several cases of explosions and fires in stores selling cell phones, it must be understood that they saturated lebanon with such mined devices in order to blow them up in waves, that is, over a long period of time this is not done by one during the day, that is, it was happening for at least

six months, at least, but they opened the gates of the portal vat, i don’t know how else to describe it, this terrorist attack left behind... many questions, to what other countries could explosive products be sent, for whom else were batches of deadly devices created, and where is the line now between military cunning and bloody lawlessness? russian scientists have uncovered the secret of an oasis of life in arctic waters, they have found out how in one of the coldest seas in the world there appeared... there is still an area with abnormally high water temperatures, inhabited by heat-loving species that are completely uncharacteristic of the arctic. this wonderful oasis is chuunskaya bay, a bay on chukotka belonging to the basin of the east siberian sea. it is here that the northernmost port of russia, pevek, is located, where

the world's first floating nuclear power plant operates. back in the eighties of the last century, scientists discovered in this area the so-called refugium, a unique area inhabited by animals and plants that are not typical for the arctic. chiunskaya bay, according to the species composition, as well as the physical and chemical characteristics of the water, are more similar to areas of the pacific ocean in the area of ​​the middle kuril islands, or even more southern waters. an oasis of life arose during the last... a mystery, how did heat-loving species survive here after the little ice age? what answer could not be given by scientists in

the eighties, that is, they discovered these species, they described them, all this is an unusual phenomenon, but why do they live in this particular area, they did not find the answer, that is precisely our expedition thanks to new methods, this is in first of all, isotope methods, at that time they were not so widespread and robotic devices, which were created by our scientific group, we solved this problem in a short period of time, literally in a few days. the researchers scanned the entire water area of ​​the bay with the help of a robotic complex and found a zone with abnormally high temperature in its southwestern part at a depth of 10-15 m where hydrothermal springs were located, it turned out that they... not only provide additional heat, but also supply additional water to the thickness of the water biogenic elements that act as a nutrient medium for marine organisms.

in addition, scientists have discovered another important mechanism for the emergence of an oasis of life, a cyclonic water cycle, which, due to the emerging centripetal currents, lowers warm waters rich in organic matter and microelements directly to the bottom, to the habitats of heat-loving bottom dwellers. during the expedition, biologists found two more new species for the chuun bay. they turned out to be the hermit crab krill. moreover, due to global warming, heat-loving species begin to get out of the aasis and gradually spread across the waters of the east siberian sea. from there they begin to spread throughout the arctic, and this, of course, plays a big role, in addition to the fact that this is a fundamental scientific significance, yes, big, well, plus, if you look

at the framework of our country, yes, the national economy, this is such an additional area for appears, yes, an additional area for the development of the fishing industry, in the future, the chion bay can be used for development... of culture, that is, in the arctic zone there will be an opportunity to cultivate certain biological species, both for the local population and for the country as a whole. that's all, enjoy the weather, whatever it is, goodbye. experts choose rosneft magnum oil. with rosneft magnum , oil consumption is a third less. 83% of buyers. choose it again, it reduces the formation of deposits by 20%, rosneft magnum motor oil, we are sure you will buy it again.

so. says the lighthouse.

we will take on this matter, it will be honest detective. what were you doing behind the trees somewhere hiding in the lights you changed walking sharpened here lights the flint jean ivan i can't.

soon, watch to know everything about russia, the best historical series, watch, watch in the app or on the website. russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, russia, 24.

the roar of explosions is heard in several regions of ukraine tonight and early in the morning. most often, the sounds of detonation were heard in the khmelnytsky region. local publications have already reported four series of strikes in recent hours. one of them hit the regional capital, khmelnytsky. a similar picture is in kharkov, where several explosions were also reported. air raid sirens were announced in many regions of ukraine; a total of eleven regions of the country heard the siren. in the border region of gurdska , the russian military carried out successful attacks with attack drones. the targets were detected by reconnaissance aircraft, and drones with powerful cameras and thermal imagers were launched into the air. they even allow spot ukrainian servicemen and their equipment at night from a great height. after the enemy's coordinates become known, our soldiers send them to...
