what will power svalbard? we were taken to the outskirts of the archipelago, where the mining company store norske is experimenting with alternative energy sources. so now we are heading to our technical building, where we have the diesel engines and the batteries... the idea is that a mixture of renewables will fuel arctic communities in the future. this is quite new, especially in svalbard, so it takes time for the authorities to kind of get used to this idea. and also we need to prove how good it is for both operations, economically and also for the environment. and i think we can prove that with this pilot. but the mining company is still waiting for approval from the authorities, both in svalbard and on the norwegian mainland, about which green energy solutions it will be allowed to pursue. why the delay? we went to see one of the top officials on the archipelago. solutions are there. why haven't you got a plan in place already to protect this place? the tough answer to that is that we probably haven't be

six times more in svalbard than the global average.dying this place for years now. there's a number of factors behind it, the main one being that with all the ice that disappears, it means there's less white stuff to reflect the heat. and, of course, the more exposed ocean absorbs that heat, and so it's a vicious circle, really. and the level of warming is very alarming to the scientists we talked to, who have looked over 50 years at what's been happening. they say that maybe a four—degree rise is what they're looking at in this place, and the reason they're concerned is because they say what happens in the arctic is a sign of things to come, so all the melting of the ice there will affect sea levels in the future. so, whether that's bangladesh, other parts of the world, so all the time that people have been debating whether it really is happening, it always seems to be off in the future somehow, actually, it's happening really badly right where you were. it is. and you can see it with your own eyes because the glaciers there, they are

he played with a drone and lifted the drone. it is possible over the norwegian island of svalbard, wellusly something like that could get into the camera to get there, it was impossible, in a word, you can’t shoot every composition there, he said, and he was detained by the police, he said he admitted that he was flying a drone, but he had no reason to think that it was illegal , by the way the citizens of such britain are interesting, the son of putin’s associate shoots with a drone in norway and is a citizen of great britain, and his apartment is probably in paris, and a summer house in spain, and a villa in italy, and he studies, he studied in america, obviously yes well, this is how they always live, in principle, recently, uh, great russian patriots who send thousands and hundreds of thousands of their citizens to war, maim them, kill other citizens of the state, and the citizens of some country themselves. they detained this comrade, and he is , at least the mass media assume that he is the son of one of the founders of the already legendary summer cottage cooperative of the lake,

where in the end no one knows for sure, but one can only assume that this will be the region of svalbardarea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe ice floe is approximately the size of 20 principalities of monaco and the first weather reports have already gone to the mainland. now weather forecasts promise to be more accurate hmm novel. katya, well, the casino will not be there. i think, yes, who will be banned there, yes, the ice police in our studio the leading specialist of the weather center, phobos elena hairy, let's not ask. who's going to ban it? but we’ll still ask questions about the weather, because here is moscow, it seems to be october already. but this indian summer is where indian summer got lost somewhere, but nevertheless. yes, i will say right away that in the second half of the week we have significantly warmer weather. in the south of our country today, a lot of rain, thunderstorms are expected in some places, squally wind intensification in the mountains, sleet and temperature. as usual, it starts to decline. tomorrow , against the backdrop of improving the gradual improvement of weat
