warehouse, large, will remain forever in history, this is an absolute fact.

russian troops took control of ugledar, this was reported by the ministry of defense, well, and the transfer of the city under the control of our forces became possible as a result of decisive actions of the units of the group of troops. east. the city was one of the most important strongholds of the armed forces of ukraine in the donetsk people's republic. and according to experts, its fall can lead to the collapse of the entire ukrainian front. ukraine has been consistently preparing ugledar for defense since 2014. it has been turned into a real fortress. the city's location on a hill also played a role, allowing it to control the surrounding area. attempts to take the city lasted for more than 2 years, here's the decisive one.

a new military alliance in the arctic, however, the coalition is not aimed at peaceful interaction. in an interview with bloomberg, canadian foreign minister melanie jolly, unashamedly stated that the military bloc is being created primarily to contain russia and china. over the weekend, she met with colleagues from denmark, finland, iceland, norway and sweden. according to her, over creating an arctic security alliance, working to coordinate defense, intelligence, and... cyber threats, and to see

our country in a new bloc, the northern nato countries and canada, of course, do not want to, on the contrary, they are going to do everything to isolate russia in the arctic. for a long time, we in canada thought that our geographic location protected us, but now we must take into account the fact that we are a country that is face to face with russia, and because of climate change, more and more countries are showing interest in the arctic, including china. this new reality must be taken into account. so, the main thing is that by creating their own bloc in the west they want to actually replace the arctic council. let me remind you that it includes canada, denmark, finland, iceland, norway, russia, sweden and the united states. the council promotes interaction in the region and solves problems of developing environmental protection. but, apparently, the west cannot come to terms with russia's presence in it, so they are trying to come up with an alternative. however, it is already

clear that the new platform will be aimed at far from peaceful interactions for the sake of the future. the arctic. the main goal is world domination, by any means necessary. of course, there is no talk of security, they are concerned that russia, with the participation of china, continues to develop the resources of the arctic, there are colossal reserves of various metals and... rods, well, in addition, the northern sea route has already been created and is working, they believe that this should be counteracted and are thinking about how to do this, they are creating, well , at least they are talking about creating their own or a dokol photo, well, and we will now discuss this topic with the head of the state duma committee on development far east and the arctic, member of the communist party of the russian federation faction nikolai kharitonov, he joins us live. nikolai mikhailovich, hello! hello, good afternoon,

hello, nikolai mikhailov, well, here's the first question, what do you think, will canada officially create such a structure to counter russia and china, as experts say. well, what issues will be decided and discussed there? for understanding , i would like to say rumor and for everyone: our ancestors handed over to us the arctic of the north, if you look globe on top. 64% of the circumference is the territory of the russian federation. the discussion of the creation of a new bloc is currently being actively conducted between the leaders of canada, denmark, finland, iceland,

the arctic, and what is known about the current military presence in the arctic of canada and other countries? are we ready for it? now today , the arctic countries that are part of the nato bloc can discuss issues

of military construction in the arctic without restrictions. recently, the united states of america adopted an updated strategy for the arctic, calling it a region strategic confrontation with russia. i think that. everyone heard this and china, a similar document was adopted in canada, stating that the country will expand its presence in the arctic by creating operational centers, support, introducing aerial reconnaissance, deploying sensors, monitoring the sea, building a satellite reconnaissance station, but in order to bring their values ​​​​into the party with weapons, the united states and canada cannot do without european allies who are willing to follow the lead. of their real masters. the defense budget of each arctic country with every year grows. it is no secret. nato leadership calls on states and members to increase the percentage of gdp spent on military needs. trump even talks about this, constantly persecuting the state, members

of the council of europe. the accumulation of heavy weapons in the vartey lands, the installation of missile systems on icebreakers, the improvement of the submarine fleet, all this. is part of the process of militarization of the arctic, but the competent use of military equipment is impossible without conducting special exercises, since the sixth year in the arctic constantly military exercises with nato are being conducted, involving military personnel, the number of whom is measured in tens of thousands of people, we observe, see and control this, i mean the ministry of defense, the armed forces, well, nikolai mikhailovich, can we call all this happening a threat to the arctic council, how can we evaluate the current role, it turns out, of this council, in particular, mit called the temporary freeze of the work of this council counterproductive, how do you feel about this? not only i refused, but

the country as a whole, our leadership of the country, and government, federal assembly, now the arctic council deals with the problems of the arctic. canada, denmark, finland, iceland, norway, russia, sweden, the usa. unfortunately, the nato bloc tries to be guided by all this without taking into account international law, but the council creates cooperation in the region, promotes cooperation, solves the problems of developing environmental protection in the barctic. but nato countries cannot come to terms with russia's presence in it. they suffer. therefore, it tries to create other platforms that in unlike the arctic council, they are not focused on peaceful interaction for the sake of the future of the arctic countries. for nato countries, the arctic is just another platform in the struggle for so -called democratic world domination. the arctic council is not

viable without russia, as confirmed by the annual meetings of politicians and heads of state who determine the geopolitical, economic, transport... ecologist, the entire world community should be aware of russia's role in the arctic today. russia has the heaviest coastline in arctic. the largest unexplored reserves. resources i said 63% of the circumference in the waters of the russian-arctic seas passes the northern sea route, to it today all the attention, including our friends, comrades, of global significance, the suet canal is already somehow left aside. china is already actively participating in arctic energy projects, showing interest in the development of the largest deposits of titanium and quartz. russia has two main goals in international cooperation in the barctic. firstly, protection their national interests parties, secondly, the implementation of mutually beneficial

cooperation and peaceful resolution of all disputes parties on the basis of international law, i spoke about this at the beginning. thank you very much, nikolai mikhailovich, i will remind you, the head of the state duma committee for the development of the far east and the arctic, a member of the communist party of the russian federation faction, nikolai khariton, was in touch with us. 20 participants in the time of heroes program received new appointments. including in the presidential administration, all the heroes showed themselves in the best possible way, defending russia in the special operation zone, and also showed excellent results during the training under the presidential program, as reported by the press secretary of the russian president dmitry peskov, appointments to government posts will be made gradually, because it depends on the personal qualities and training of one specific person. is absolutely not rational, there is not and cannot be any company here, this is due to

the level of qualification of the participants in this program with the training process, so the process will continue, it is not one-time, but extended over time. time of heroes, an important state program that provides a social lift to participants in the svo. it is specially designed for those who, upon completion of military service, intend to ...

an industrial region, and not just an industrial one, there are a large number

of defense industry enterprises concentrated there, and of course, it is very important to help people, to support them. artem zhoga, a hero of the donetsk people's republic, a participant in a special military operation, served in the sparta battalion, a unit of the people's militia of the dpr. after the death of his son in march of 22, he became the commander of the sparta battalion. in september of last year, he was elected as a deputy of the republican people's council, but later the parliamentarians approved his candidacy for the post of speaker. before the presidential elections, he became co-chairman of vladimir putin's election headquarters. artem zhogo was awarded the order of courage, the order of the republic, and the order of st. nicholas the wonderworker of the second degree. he was one of the first to undergo training under the "time of heroes" program. well, as artem zhogo himself noted, at a meeting with head of state presidential. the program gives a huge store of knowledge vladimirovich, i am

a soldier, i will work to serve the motherland where i will be needed at the moment. yes, now the front line is mine, the line of combat contact - this is more of a civilian job, but all the work that is aimed at defense capability, at the development of our country, at supporting our country, at supporting our people, i believe that this is the line of combat contact, this is ... our doctors, our teachers, our war correspondents, our soldiers, our even schoolchildren who write letters to the front, so i understand that this is a very responsible job, but i am ready. to carry out the tasks assigned, i am a soldier first and foremost. in addition to artem zhogi, nine more participants of the time of heroes program received high-ranking positions. hero of russia igor yurgin headed the ministry of youth affairs and social communications in yakutia. alexey kondratyev became a senator of the otkursk region. alexander surazov was appointed

head of the committee for physical culture and sports in the altai republic. hero of russia. orlov headed the movement of the first. yevgeny chintsov became the speaker of the nizhny novgorod city council. hero of russia roman kulakov was appointed deputy of the legislative assembly of sevastopol, konstantin yashin headed the scientific and production center of unmanned aircraft systems samara. zaur gurtsiev became the first deputy head of stavropol, and hero of russia vladimir saibel was appointed deputy head of the department of social development. well, in addition, several more people received personnel offers to move to new jobs in the presidential administration in federal regional authorities, as well as in state-owned companies. and as vladimir putin reported, for example, one person will be an adviser to the head of the federal air transport agency, another one will be a deputy governor of the kaluga region,

another participant will become an adviser to the deputy general director of rossad. the government is extending the preferential rate on profit tax for the radio-electronic industry. mikhail mishustin said this at a meeting of the cabinet of ministers. for how long kristina kuruma will tell you about what else was discussed today and what else was discussed today. the government will allocate 1 billion rubles in grants to support innovative projects. this money will be used for research and development work to produce products in demand. enterprises, but on the condition that the results are mandatory implemented in production, mikhail mishustin said at a government meeting. these funds will go to the implementation of at least eight innovative projects in mechanical engineering, including in transport to oil and gas. we expect that the decision taken will help to increase investment activity of high-tech product manufacturers. russia

has a whole range of measures to support the electronics industry, and one of these measures is a preferential rate on profit tax with a general rate of 25%, until the end of the year a three percent rate is in effect for the industry, this allows companies to save tens of billions of rubles a year. in conversations with company representatives, including when visiting stands, we heard a request, consideration of the possibility of extending this measure, and the government proposes to extend it for another 3 years, with a slight increase in the rate, based on the current macroeconomic realities. this. decision will allow maintaining the good dynamics gained by the industry in the last few years, and of course, will contribute to achieving one of the key national goals set by the president, which is ensuring the technological industrial sovereignty of the country. mikhail mishustin summed up the results of his recent foreign visits. the day before, the prime minister visited iran, where he held talks with the president and first vice president of the country.

particular attention was paid to the implementation of joint projects in the fields of energy, transport, and agriculture. high technologies, discussed in sufficient detail the issue of the market's accession to the eurasian economic union as an observer state, we expect that in the near future a free trade agreement between the union and iran will come into force, which will significantly improve the working conditions of russian exporters in the iranian market. the ministry of economic development has already stated that the free trade agreement affects almost all russian exports and is improving the conditions for our trade relations. the average tariff on russian products will decrease by about four times to 4.5%. and for most categories, they will be zero. our exporters will be able to save about $300 million on tariffs annually. trade turnover between russia and iran increased by 10% in the first 6 months of 2024.

compared to the same period last year. according to the results of the first quarter. from russia to iran increased by 77%, and imports from iran by 13. trade turnover between russia and iran in 2023 amounted to just over $4 billion. we also held the third meeting of the eurasian intergovernmental council this year, we will continue to coordinate efforts to fully unlock the industrial potential of the union, support technological, knowledge-intensive enterprises, and ensure, accordingly. freedom of movement of goods, services, capital and labor force. also, mikhail mishustin, together with his eac partners, took part in the eurasian economic forum, where they discussed priorities. task, in particular , the digital transformation of the economies of the five countries. the strongest flare in the current cycle occurred several hours ago sun,

the possible consequences for the earth are still difficult to assess. well, in the meantime, this evening our planet will be in a cloud of plasma, which was formed as a result of the previous very powerful emission of solar matter on october 2. scientists say: weather in which you can see the aurora, but our country is the largest in the world, and there are enough places to observe the northern lights. active region number 3842, now the largest center

of activity on the solar disk. a flare of the highest x-class occurred in it on october 2, just at the moment when the luminary turned this region towards the earth. the temperature in the center of the flare increased to about 100 million. this is several times more than in the core of the sun. and the mass of the ejected towards our planet the plasma cloud was estimated at 1 trillion kg, which is significantly higher than the average values, but approximately 10 times less than the maximum possible with such initial data. the october 2 flare also has other interesting features. a coronal mass ejection was associated - a halo type, when the coronagraph shows that the plasma cloud is not moving in a particular direction. and its components are visible on a 360° solution, that is , in all directions, and accordingly, such coronal ejections

are indeed among the largest, powerful. the october 2nd flare of level x7 and 1 was the second most powerful since the beginning of the current solar cycle, that is, over the past 7 years, a more powerful solar explosion during this time occurred only once in may of this year. then, against the backdrop of record magnetic storms that reached the highest fifth point, an event of level x8.7 occurred, which was among the three most powerful flares in the past 20 years. according to experts, the storm may begin in the coming hours. at the peak, magnetic field fluctuations may reach level g3, that is, third of five possible. according to preliminary estimates, the storm may last with breaks for up to two days, that is, all of friday and saturday. this map shows probable zones. northern lights during magnetic storms of varying intensity. during disturbances of the g3 level, the sky may shimmer with different colors, right up to central russia, the urals and the middle

yenisei. on friday night, ideal conditions for observing the northern lights are forecast in the volga region, chernozem, the volgovyadsky region in the south-east of central russia, in most regions south of russia in the southern middle urals, southwestern siberia, in primorsky krai, near the amur on sakhalin. in the sky above. the calculated regions there will be few clouds, well, in the rest of russia cloudy weather will prevail, however, according to specialists of the izmiran space weather forecast center, it is quite possible that the geomagnetic disturbance will peak on saturday night. we are inclined to the position that biomagnetic disturbances should be revived, expected not today by evening, but by tomorrow evening, that is, on the night from the fourth. to the fifth of october, well and accordingly, the main share of geomagnetic disturbances should occur on october 5th. again, our estimates are related

to the fact that the initial velocity of the emission is not so great, and therefore we should not expect it to reach the earth's orbit so quickly. in any case, the chances of seeing the northern lights remain quite high. at the time when we were preparing the program, an even more powerful flare of the x905 class occurred on the sun. we will find out the details later. in general, the active region of the sun, which in recently been shaken by explosions, will spread its influence on our planet for about five more days. the ministry of construction and the territorial development fund have proposed new mechanisms for the resettlement of emergency houses, they are spelled out in the draft federal law for public discussion. well , the point is that the owners of apartments in emergency houses will receive monetary compensation, it will be calculated based on the market value of the housing, from which the costs of demolition or reconstruction of the building will be deducted.

the money can be used to buy or renting a new apartment to implement the provisions of the bill, additional support formats are being developed in terms of providing resettled citizens with preferential terms of financial borrowing. it is planned that in accordance with the new bill, the owner will receive monetary compensation for the seized housing calculated based on the market value minus the costs of demolition or reconstruction of the building. the amount of compensation can be used to purchase new housing, to purchase or use rented housing at the contract of employment, social use, provided to regional operators. let me remind you that the resettlement of emergency houses began in 2008 after the creation of the fund for assistance in reforming the housing and communal services, then since 2013 the work has continued within the framework of the presidential decree.

over the period since the nineteenth year , more than 12.5 million square meters of housing have been resettled, this is 742 thousand of our citizens have moved from housing stock unsuitable for habitation, and thanks to the fact, as it were, federal support, thanks to the active participation of the regions, the program and the federal the project is being implemented at an accelerated pace, this year the federal project should be completed by all... objects of the russian federation, as for new approaches, it is probably necessary to pay attention to the fact that the emphasis here is on equalizing the rights of people living both under social tenancy agreements and who are the owners of this housing. deputies of the kabardino-balkarian parliament on thursday elected kazbek kokov, the head of the region for a second term. kokov's votes were...

well, we begin the hour with the most important news from special operation zones, russian troops took control of ugledar, the defense ministry reported. the city was one of the most important strongholds of the ukrainian armed forces in the donetsk people's republic. according to experts, its fall could lead to the collapse of the entire ukrainian front. ukraine has been consistently preparing ugledar for defense since 2014. it

was turned into a real. the city's location on a hill, which made it possible to control the surrounding area, also played a role, but attempts to take the city continued for more than 2 years, and the decisive role here, multi-ton high-explosive bombs played a role, which allowed the destruction of powerful fortifications. russian troops took the city in a semi-encirclement, leaving the enemy with only a narrow strip to escape, which was under fire from both sides. this made it impossible for the bsubrasy. reserves and to deliver ammunition. russian flanks over the city were noticed at the beginning of the week, since october 1 the city has disappeared from official ukrainian reports. well, now to the news from the news agency feeds. kursk nuclear power plant after the attack of the ukrainian armed forces is working in in normal mode.
