there are only arctic states and not arctic states. no 3rd category exists and claiming otherwise and titles, china to exactly nothing. it was a very, very aggressive speech that had never been given before in an art to council setting. there were there never been anything like that. or pentagon warn, just last week the china could use its civilian research presence in the arctic to strengthen his military presence, including our deployment summary, including deployment of submarines to the region as a deterrent against nuclear attack. for china, from a nuclear security point of view on the optic has china's vulnerable bechtel. the optic ocean is important for china. if china could gate a nuclear nestled, i'm submarine, and an arctic ice. that would provide se can strike to terrance the china or callous or let her to more than busy mayor. generally, china has no military interest in the arctic usage. they will need to build military places, their north end in battleships that would trigger fear and panic among neighboring states. and c

today we are talking about the arctic zone. this is a huge part of the country incredibly rich in natural resources. economic production development of these territories is of strategic importance. and this is a huge human potential. now about two and a half million people live in the arctic zone of our country, and the state creates special conditions there. there are programs to attract private investment to create new jobs. the main goal is the sustainable economic growth of these territories . there is a separate program, in which any resident of our country can take part. and now we will talk about it in detail with the guest of our studio, senator anatoly shirokoy. anatoly ivanovich 2 years in the arctic guitar program for a year almost all residents. e of the russian federation can take part in it. tell us how much this program is in demand and what the arctic hector provides well, speaking of the arctic inventory, it ’s the same as the far eastern one, but still, at first there was the program of the far eastern hectare

speaking of arctic equipment.far east, but still, at first there was a program of the far eastern hectare of the sixteenth year, it has been operating since the twenty-first year, the arctic hectare program appeared, that is, the principles of the operation of this program in the far east have spread now to an erotic wife and i just would like to uh, well, right away what is called e, a bit to designate e, specificity. yes, they often compare. eh, these are the far eastern arctic hectares with some reforms by stolypin at the beginning of the twentieth century. many people talk about it. well, stolypin is there there were, well, echelons of immigrants and people were traveling here such, well, millions of people. no, not seen mobile movements. there the far east artik tasks are worth the tables. give solved the problem of agrarian overpopulation in the center of the country. i draw your attention to the agrarian, that is , there was little land per capita. today, we clearly do not have an agrarian structure of the

in the arctic, this is a million hectares, of course, a priority. here in the array of lands the job is east. now look what is happening here for comparison, it is interesting , that means both here and there, and the priority is in the interests of those people who go to secure a hectare. this is approximately 112,000 people in the far east and 4,2,000 people. practically not. ah, here is the priority, first of all, individual housing construction, if in the far east it is 42% of users and hectares, then in the arctic zone it is already 69. and if we look, second in importance, yes, that's the use, that is, in absolute terms. so this agriculture is economic production. and here, if in the far east 39% of the users of a hectare are engaged, well, related to agriculture. yes, then in the arctic desire - this is 11%, that is, in fact, we see that , unlike the far east, which gives, well, a lot of possible options for using a hectare, and hector in the arctic is primarily a hectare intended for individual housing construction . at least that's how it i

i mean the arctic far east.ou can hardly blame it for the lack of resources there , the lack of everything that can provide for our economy. uh, let's just say, indeed, this is a growth driver for any economy, in fact, the base, and another point . such a report is staffing. eh, here, just in recent years , all the time, every time we run into what is missing. not enough. not enough, how to deal with this in the future. it is true that the far east and the arctic are the largest our territories are rich, but with a low population density even today. more than 3,000 investment projects are being implemented there, which create more than 200,000 jobs. indeed, we often encounter a situation where we have to manually help large investors to attract valuable personnel and attract , including engineering personnel and management personnel , in order for these projects to happen, in order to balance the demand and supply for personnel, the government’s strategic initiatives are directed about this today a lot of it was

now the expanses of the arctic are a furrow.hip with his name on board during his service since 2009. the tanker timofey guzhenko made 421 voyages. during this time, he covered over 227,000 nautical miles and transported more than 29 million tons of oil, and he does not plan to stop there in two days. the tanks of the tanker will be filled with new cargo to bring it through the icy waters to the mainland. and on voronin, anton fedotov is one klimanov to lead. weather forecasters warn of worsening weather conditions in regions of siberia where snow storms are expected without interruption in the coming days and when the april warmth will still come to the regions , ksenia levitskaya door is preparing for the next snow storm, the region remains in the zone of confrontation between spring and winter, but the atmospheric front. the west will change the balance of power , where in the coming days it will rage, the february blizzard where the april warmth will unexpectedly descend, this is the weather, a joint project of the russia 24

i'm the only one running who has been in the arctic circle. the great oil spill that occurred? i went up in hecopter on the north slope and saw what was going on and saw what was happening as the glaciers began to melt and how the caribou -- there's a lot going on up there. it is a real gigantic problem. by the way, no more drilling on federal lands, period. period, period, period. the arctic circle is a disaster to do that. amy: that was candidate biden. again, the little part we missed at the beginning of what the candidate said was "i am completely, totally opposed to drilling in the arctic." siqiÑiq maupin, describe this project. what is the willow project and what you understand president biden is announcing today? >> this is the biggest oil and gas leasing project on public lands right now. it is a massive project that would be happening in the north slope. this would completely encircle the community in oil and gas. this is just the start of the project because this could greenlight for further exploration, further development. this pro

here begins her arctic waltz.nk it will be scary, but now i’m flying, as if alena had been flying all her life , moving to belozersk, the city of her childhood and getting a job as an ordinary doctor in a district hospital. here among the deer and the endless tundra. she feels like home silver breathes new life into her, but reminds of the old guard guards. please forgive me for panicking. my mom is just 26 years old. crashed in a helicopter. i know that a helicopter is a person's life, except for alena suddenly pilot mikhail odintsov, just like she wants to understand what almost 20 years ago led to the accident at the crash site of a helicopter. this is actually a tragedy. uh, which do not leave him calm for many years and they go on a very difficult adventure quest. there are too many mysteries and inconsistencies in this tragedy, wanting to finally find out the truth , alyona and misha begin their investigation of a long-standing, but not forgotten story. there has never been an incredible intrigue unfolding a

, let's say, an impetus to the further development of the arctic fleet. many icebreakers were built, that is, at the time of his retirement. it was four already 10.000 and 400.000 thanks to this expedition. duration of use of the northern sea route for more than 100 days, and in winter to a remote port and began to deliver food not only by air, but also by water, and that’s all, thanks to guzhenko’s idea voiced 50 years ago. now, a ship with his name on board during its service since 2009 plows the expanses of the arctic. the tanker timofey guzhenko made 421 voyages. during this time , he covered over 227,000 nautical miles and transported more than 29 million tons of oil, and he does not plan to stop there in two days. reservoirs. the tanker will be filled with new cargo to bring it through the icy waters to the mainland. anna voronina anton fedotov vadim klevanov news. it is believed that the use of ammunition with combined uranium in ukraine will be genocide in relation to the population of the territory where this type of weapon is used, this was stat

and here it is concluded, uh, three point four thousand in the arctic zone. course, the maximum. this is the last time in the western artik. this, of course, is the murmansk arkhangelsk region, the republic and so on reserved places, where on the one hand you can get there. in general, you can quickly and this is not for you in northern yakutia. yes, that's how to get there, you can and the beauty that allows. well, you will see there in karelia these parks, this nature. it seems to me that it’s such a pleasure to be there and create all the conditions for this, use this mechanism at the same time fixing the population here, in my opinion, it’s a great idea antre ivanovich well, one of, probably, the most painful problems for the far east and probably for the arctic territories it is a population exodus. what do you think, can contribute to, uh, some arctic far eastern hectares. eh, somehow the opposite process, on the contrary, the influx of the population to e, or at least the suspension of the outflow on itself. uh, unfortunately, yes, while we are fixing

the construction of the first production line of the arctic lng-2 plant is almost completed; now work is underway on the conservation of storage tanks for liquefied natural gas. what is it for? and when the plant is launched, the tarrasque will tell. this is unique footage. one of the last opportunities to see the inside of liquefied natural gas storage tanks from novatek's arctic lng-2 plant, and as soon as they are closed and filled with nitrogen , it will be impossible to get into the tank until the end of the whole period operation. within 25 years, specialists need to carry out conservation in order to guarantee the safety of the equipment. this will also create a dry, non-corrosive environment. why the inner space and purged with nitrogen, thereby reducing the oxygen content, the oxygen content. inside the tank should be, uh, no more than nine percent, but our tanks are very large. uh, if the cavities that nitrogen would be hard to get into, so we're going to bleed our tanks. until the oxygen concentration reaches below 6%. on one technological lines. there are two reservoirs, e

all this time arctic cold in the front zone.will make its way deep into the russian plain and minimum values. temperature will reach. at the very end of march. during this period, warm air will be forced out in the volga region and the urals, and frosts will return to the center of the country of the black earth region of the lower reaches of the don and the caucasus , and in the leningrad region on the kola peninsula and in karelia, the air at night can cool down to -10 and even stronger moscow breath. the arctic will be felt on thursday. today in the capital it is still april, +11 . tomorrow there will be more and fresher clouds in the sky up to plus eight. well, then the weather for the first time in the middle of the month will return to the climate on thermometers plus five plus seven during the day and slight frosts at night. in addition, in some places in some areas of the megapolis, snow can be mixed with rain so that the roads will again become a slippery signal to drivers that it’s too early to change tires for summer

in 16000000 acres in alaska and the arctic ocean, the project could produce up to a 180000 barrels of oil a day according to the company. but that also means extracting and using that oil could produce more than 270000000 tons of greenhouse gases over the projects 30 year life. we low is the largest proposed oil drilling plan on us public land and the biggest oil field in alaska, in decades. let's bring in shebra tansy in washington. dc. 4 is so a big deal. it would seem tell us about what's been approved today. while the bottom in the section says it's scaled back, what was the the original proposal from conoco phillips, which would have been the largest ever drilling project on extraction project on, on federal land. the bureau of land management said they reduced the project by 40 percent, but it's still, it's still massive. as you said, i mean those figures mind boggling when you think about the climate emergency of the planet faces ga, dated 1000000 metric tons of carbon emissions over a lifetime. so that's the equivalent of putting $2000000.00 more calls on the road each year fo

how long will the arctic invasion last and when will it reach peak is the weather? hello, in the european part of russia , the last cooling of march is intensifying , the beauty of kaliningraders about the weather outside the window does not want to leave. it would seem that. just a couple of days ago it was plus 14 from the snow cover of las and the trace, but suddenly the winter decided to snap back, a similar situation in st. petersburg. it has been snowing here since monday, but on tuesday they intensified. so much so that at the meteorological stations the visibility decreased to 700 m, and the temperature during the day did not exceed 2 °. well, at the epicenter of the elements, the day before, they ended up in our neighbors these shots, for example, so much rain fell from minsk that snowdrifts grew again on the streets. here is a snowfall. all winter was gone. cause of bad weather. this is a cold front, which the day before began to break into the western regions of the country on tuesday, it suffered from it and the south of russia on the black sea rose in a

we have set up in the arctic division that is focused on the arctic and you all and our friends in swedennd finland, who are experts in arctic warfare, we are working together and learning a lot by coming together. as we take a look at the future, if you do integrated deterrence, which is more than just military but economic and diplomatic and information operations, it really is strength through strong allies, all sharing the same vision of what should happen and coming together and we have much -- we are much stronger together. are arctic to billy, we are developing long-range fires. if you take a look at the aircraft we are developing, you get -- you are in much better place in the endo -- in the pacific where you have to go farther and you are creating options. you have long-range pacific fires you can target and that comes together as we work as a team. i see us as strong allies and we are working together and we are working on convergence. we have to pass data through all allies. that is where you get the edge you need in conflict. melanie: another audience question that was submitt

it will not last, the arctic invasion will be short-lived and already on friday.during the day, cold air will begin to warm up better, and by the weekend, southwestern flows will again prevail in the atmosphere over the region and warmed and golf stream air masses in donetsk will rush to the territory of european russia friday will get colder in general up to +25°. and the rains will be mixed with snowfalls. and only from saturday. the weather will start to return to normal, precipitation will continue, but it will be warmer until verses thirteen in moscow today, plus eight, but already on thursday night a wave of cold air will break into the capital in some areas, snow charges may be observed, and the temperature even in the daytime will barely rise above plus five on the roads, it can be very slippery, however, and here the negative temperature anomaly will not last long on friday. we expect in the metropolis is the same plus eight, and on the weekend the air will warm up to plus 10 degrees. that's all for me, goodbye new diesel pulse rosneft ensures the cleanli

within its competence, performs tasks for implementation of the strategy for the development of the arcticnd this tactic, special classes have shown that all the ways and methods of performing these tasks. successfully completed. forecasters warn of an imminent worsening of the flood situation in the regions of russia in the european part, abnormal warming is increasing, and in the coming days of the thaw , the details of vadim zabochenkov will break even into western siberia. april came ahead of time in the western half of russia is intensifying. warming in the european part of the temperature is already ahead of schedule by several weeks, and in in the coming days, the thaw will reach siberia when the snow begins to melt beyond the urals and on what days the thermometer readings reach peak values in st. petersburg, monday at the reference weather station, almost plus 10.5. and now it is the warmest march 20 in the history of the northern capital. despite the fact that on separate weather sensors in the city there was generally almost a plus 12 it is surprising that even in such a situati

we will ask vasyl matkovsky, the doctor of the 27th ukrainian arctic expedition. from the vernadskyion. well, please tell me how difficult this expedition was or was it more interesting. considering that well, in view of the latest messages from the vernadskyi station, whales visited you and now the main observations are carried out with the help of drones over these largest creatures on our planet, well, the year turned out to be simple for the expedition and, considering it, those who want it in the country during this year, they performed their tasks according to their physics and meteorology, and our biologists managed to observe whales during this winter was warm and uh , our station has a cover. and now it’s like watching the chinese and drones and one of the latest such trends in science watching flora and fuel not only for you tactics spend win what does ours actually do now you know we even talked among ourselves about the fact that we have such ukrainians here now uh they haven't left the country we have that well unfortunately only one association if we hear the word drone

that is focused on the arctic, and you all and our friends in sweden and finland who are experts in arcticwarfare and do extremely well, working together to we're learning a lot by coming together. as we b take a look at the futu, if you're going to depend a greater deterrence which is more than just military, but it's economic, it's automatic and information type operations, is there really is strength through strong allies and partners, all sharing the same vision of what should happen, and come together and we are much stronger together. arctic capability, what about the long-range fires? when you take a look at some of the aircraft we are developing, if you're getting 300-350 miles an hour on an aircraft, and the ranges then you're in a much better place in the indo-pacific where you may have to go further and farther. you are creating options for the combatant command over there. your long-range precision fires that you can target. all those things come together as we work together as a team. that's right see the future, i see strong allies and partners. i see us working together. a l

there is also a very active movement of volunteers to clean the arctic for the third year these seasonss year there will be a volunteer movement. we help volunteers in every way, help them not to fall under oppression. e control service. if you, well, remember, they asked the president a question. now, if we collect garbage, we form almost new dumps, will there be any changed sanctions for this? of course not, and we invite everyone to participate. tight movement, because it's right to release, and aktiku from the accumulated form. and if you remember the president this year in a message he designated both clean air and the implementation of the iphone toko and the implementation, and all of me again, aimed at reducing the accumulated vein and removing it. it seems to me that your aunt has studied this very clearly. before, such pessimistic forecasts sounded that we need 100 years to clear the artik. uh, there are opportunities to move faster, so the direction for a longer period of the first we expect that there will be no such plan formed on new facilities, the second, of course, we a

there, the head of the ministry of emergency situations launched a large-scale scientific research arcticn. its purpose is to test the level of response. rescue units with me of the expedition, timed to coincide with the interdepartmental radiation, which will take place on april 6 and 7 in nine northern regions at once. ensuring the safety of the population and the territory of the arctic from emergencies is of great importance. in this regard , the russian emergencies ministry pays special attention to the development of emergency infrastructure facilities in the region. we are giving a start to a large-scale expedition, the participants of which will have to work out new ways and methods of rescuing harsh climatic conditions. during the expedition, the rescuers will have to test new models of equipment and equipment in the difficult conditions of the arctic in 2 weeks, a group of 76 people will cover more than one and a half thousand kilometers in the republic of komi nenets, yamalo-nenets autonomous districts on the arctic route , participants will work out 18 simulated incidents , ov

there will be no more snows of kilimanjaro. >> tucker: al gore said there would be no ice in the arctic. he quoted experts and he explained that the north pole will be ice-free in the summer by 2013 because of manmade global warming. now, it does take a certain level of chutzpah to make a prediction that precise. al gore made many of them and they all turned out to be wrong. for a normal person, that could be a cue that it's time to retire. maybe i can stop talking because i've been disgraced by my own foolish predictions. he kept toing and helped in that by the entire news media. news organizations exist to bring you the news to assist if things are true or not. if they collude to hide lylying you have to ask is something else going on here? you decide. nbc news informed the world that the world has a ten-year window until 2016. a window of opportunity to take decisive action of global warming and avert catastrophe. of course by their predicted date, donald trump became president. that's not what they were predicting. in 2008, the associated press reported according to a top nasa scien
