The premiere of the film “Jeanne Dubarry” with Johnny Depp in the title role was held at the Moscow “Khudozhestvenny” cinema. Alla Mikheeva was also seen among the guests. The star looked great, but it was impossible not to pay attention to the fresh scar on her face.

Apparently, for this reason, Alla entered the hall, past the carpet and the photographers. Plastic surgeon Madina Bayramukova suggested that it could be.

“You can assume that a lipoma, wen, or other benign neoplasm was removed, but the edges of the wound are too jagged. This is possible only if, after surgery, the wound became infected and healed with some complications.

Another, more obvious option is a scar from a recent injury. What could it be? I hit my head, a piece of glass flew, I had an accident, yes, anything! An additional surgical solution will most likely be required. And in the future, there will be no trace of the scar: in our time, everything is removed with a laser.

After the closure of the Evening Urgant program, Alla Mikheeva began to actively hold various events. The day after tomorrow we will see the star as the host of the VK Fest. And we, in turn, wish Alla good luck and a speedy recovery.

– The contest gave young people from the Urals an opportunity to show their creative, scientific and research potential and, of course, translate ideas into real projects necessary for the economy, industry, of course, the social sphere, – emphasized the Governor of Sverdlovsk Region Evgeny Kuyvashev.

Traditionally, the ten best projects were presented in the final of the competition. Likewise: in the field of industrial technology and in the social sphere. Students and graduate students from leading Ural universities presented a variety of projects: from new designer medical instruments and air filters to an innovative navigation system for people with disabilities.

In the nomination “Technological Innovations” the project of a student of the Ural Federal University (UrFU) Ekaterina Borisova was recognized as the best. Borisova’s team worked on and tested a very relevant product for the current Ural summer – a new type of sun protection system – a tinted film on glass, which is regulated by electricity. Ural students patented the technology.

The winning project in the “Social Sphere” nomination was the development of a team from the Ural Pedagogical University, which was presented by Diana Gilmutdinova. The developers proposed the project “Digital Comfort for Children and Parents.”

The winners of the “Techno-Slavery Minute” will be paid by EVRAZ in the country’s business schools. The company is confident in the effectiveness of the competition and the prospects of the ideas, so it suggests that other companies take a closer look and actively participate in the project.

– All the projects of the finalists of the contest are of an applied nature, which means that they will be guaranteed to benefit people in the future. The desire to create is in line with the principles of EVRAZ, which is why the company annually acts as a partner of the “Technology Minute” and supports talented young people. Such young people are the future, – said Maria Dronova, Director of Government Relations and Charitable Activities of EVRAZ.

The union, which represents the interests of some 160,000 Hollywood actors, announced the first strike since 1980. The reason for this decision was negotiations with the largest studios and streaming services, which failed. CNN reports it.

SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher said in a statement that the studio management’s proposals were “offensive and disrespectful.” After that, 98% of union members voted to allow the strike.

Actors can no longer act in movies or TV shows, promote movies or TV shows, including interviews with journalists, attend movie or TV show premieres, and promote movies or TV shows at Comic-Con. The two main demands of the actors are higher salaries and protection against unauthorized use of their images using artificial intelligence (AI).

“Companies have abandoned constructive interaction on some issues and have reached a dead end on others. Until they begin to negotiate in good faith, we will not be able to reach an agreement. We have no choice but to come together and on behalf of our members to make a strike recommendation to the National Council,” Drescher said.

CNN writes that it is now feared that the outages could last until the end of the summer or even the end of the year. The actors’ strike is expected to halt most filming, with the exception of a few independent films not affiliated with major studios.

Earlier, the third season of “Loto Blanco” was postponed due to the strike. Actor Tom Hollander spoke about this on The News Agents podcast. We talk about it in more detail here.

The Federal Trade Commission of the United States (FTC, for its acronym in English) has communicated to the courts its decision to appeal the ruling of last Tuesday in which it is confirmed that Microsoft has the right to continue with the acquisition of Activision Blizzard . The purchase of the video game company by the technology giant is valued at 69,000 million dollars, about 62,745 million euros.

Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley ruled last week to dismiss the FTC’s complaints, finding that there is no evidence that Microsoft intends to remove the video game ‘Call of Duty’ from Sony PlayStation or that the merger will pose a significant problem for competition in this market.

For his part, Brad Smith, president of Microsoft, affirmed that Scott’s ruling in favor of his company shows that the purchase will be beneficial for both market agents and consumers. He also criticized the FTC’s performance, calling its appeal “demonstrably weak.”

The international market, divided

For its part, Activision defended that “the facts have not changed” and expressed confidence that the United States improved “among the 39 countries where the merger can be closed.”

The purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft has divided those responsible for Competition in the main economies, since the European Commission authorized the transaction with conditions last May, while the British CMA blocked the merger. In this regard, the British regulator excluded this Wednesday that it was willing to consider any proposal from Microsoft to restructure the transactions.

MakSim after the interruption of the concerts decided to be treated for alcoholism.

Singer MakSim, 40, recorded an appeal from a rehab clinic where she is being treated for alcoholism. Marina Abrosimova (this is the name of the singer) was already treated for alcoholism 5 years ago, after which she again led a full life. But 2 years ago, her Marina she fell ill with coronavirus pneumonia with serious complications, after which she recovered for a long time and returned to a very active touring life. Then there was another collapse.

MakSim recorded a video of the clinic – he looks good, and the musicians from his team are sitting next to him. The singer says, “After my serious illness, I started touring, took on a lot of responsibility, and promised to do an unthinkable number of performances. The heyday was a concert that did not really take place in Sochi. Not only did I arrive tired, I really couldn’t stand on my feet. Before leaving, she was on a drip. And I decided that if I drink alcohol now, I will work like a machine. It ended with the failure of the concert.

Marina said she wasn’t so concerned about the multi-million dollar losses due to interruptions in performances that they had to pay for. How much, for the work of her colleagues and her attitude, the respect of the audience. The singer realized: “My already habitual attempt to escape from problems, ailments, unnecessary impressions (and I am very impressionable), emotions through alcohol does not lead to anything. In addition, it leads to huge losses. I came to the conclusion that it is an addiction. Done, accepted. And I decided to act, because this is not my life, it is not my story. That is why I have been in the clinic for a long time.”

The artist said that her daughters, musicians from her band visit her and her family supports her. She also hopes for the support of the audience: “I hope for her support, because it was a big step for me to come here of my own free will to undergo treatment. A big step to say it out loud.”

The fans supported the artist in the comments to the video on social networks and assured that they were looking forward to her concerts after rehabilitation. In addition, the artist’s fans gave Marina advice: make the tour schedule less tight.

Remember that at the age of 22, Fathullah was convicted of the attempted murder of three girls, and several villagers testified against him. He spent 13 years in prison. And after his release, he began to search for the truth, devoting his life to this. On May 23, 2023, the Russian Supreme Court acquitted Fatkhulla Iskhakov.

Initially, the pensioner did not plan to file a claim for compensation for non-material damage, but later changed his mind.

– People who imprisoned innocent people should be punished by the state without mercy. But for this, a sentence review mechanism should work when there is the slightest reason to suspect that the crime was committed by another. In the case of Fathulla Iskhakov, it will not be possible to punish the guilty. All counterfeiters are dead. But Bashkortostan’s sitting judges and prosecutors for the past 10 years have steadfastly prevented a review of the verdict. While they were idle, a man died, who in 2013 came with a confession and confessed to the crime. Therefore, Fatkhulla Iskhakov filed a lawsuit today, estimating his suffering at 450 million rubles, Vitaly Burkin noted.

“Traveling almost for free” is the full name of this public dedicated to cheap routes. The creators are looking for the most profitable flights in Europe and around the world, generously sharing the promotions and discounts found: and we just have to fly!

The price of fuel leaves behind the truce and rises again this week. Gasoline has become more expensive by 0.12% and in the case of diesel, the increase has been 0.14%, according to data from the Oil Bulletin of the European Union (EU) collected by Europa Press. Specifically, the average price of diesel this week stands at 1,439 euros per liter, while that of gasoline stands at 1,593 euros.

Despite the slight rebound, the price of a liter of diesel remains below the 1,479 euros that it amounted to before the outbreak of the war in Ukraine due to the Russian invasion that began on February 24, 2022, like gasoline , which on those dates was at 1,594 euros.

In addition, both fuels remain far from the maximums that they touch in around a year, when in July gasoline reached 2,141 euros and diesel 2.1 euros.

fill the deposit

With prices, filling a tank of these medium 55 liters of diesel rises to about 79.14 euros, compared to 100 euros -some 21 euros more- that it cost at this point last year, including the discount of 20 cents for liter that was in force a year ago.

In the case of gasoline, filling an average 55-liter tank currently costs about 87.6 euros, almost 15 euros less than the 103 euros it cost in the same period of 2022.

Last year, due to the escalation in the price of fuels due to the energy crisis caused by the war, the minimum bonus of 20 cents per liter of fuel for all citizens approved by the Government as part of its response plan to the impact of the war in Ukraine.

Likewise, with this, diesel adds 21 consecutive weeks below the price of gasoline. Thus, it remains in the usual situation before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which turned out that the price of diesel was more expensive than that of gasoline continuously from August 2022 until mid-February of this year, when it broke that dynamic.

Compared to the first week of 2023, without the 20-cent discount applied by the Government last year, gasoline registered an increase of 0.64%, compared to the 13.3% cheaper diesel.

In this context, this Thursday the barrel of Brent, a reference in Europe, was trading above 80 dollars, while the American Texas is trading at around 76 dollars.

The price of fuels depends on multiple factors, such as its specific price (independent of that of oil), the evolution of crude oil, taxes, the cost of raw materials and logistics, and gross margins. In addition, the evolution in the price of crude oil is not transferred directly to fuel prices, but rather with a time lag.

Cheaper in Spain than in the surroundings

With these levels, the price of 95 unleaded gasoline in Spain remains below the average for the European Union, located at 1,727 euros per liter, and for the eurozone, with an average price of 1,787 euros. In the case of diesel, the price in Spain is also lower than the EU average, which is 1,572 euros, and the euro zone, where it marks a price of 1,602 euros.

Gennady Zyuganov

… – Gennady Andreevich, on the eve (July 12), we discussed the results of the NATO summit with his deputy, Comrade Dmitry Novikov, on the Party Wednesday program on Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda. But I lacked the opinion of Comrade Zyuganov, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia…

– They, these results, are empty. But challenging.

First of all, in the sense that NATO is the last military organization on the planet that continues to expand and attract even Asian countries.

It is a threat to almost everyone.

They do not want dignified peaceful negotiations, the accusations have increased again, including against China.

China immediately reacted sharply.

Well, at the same time, the NATO countries continue to fill Ukraine with weapons.

Although Zelensky there, at the top, looked like some kind of clumsy clown, with whom in fact they did not even want to communicate.

He was hit there several times, figuratively speaking, in the face, for his rudeness and rudeness.

But in general, the decisions of the summit in relation to Russia look, of course, defiant.

And there is a very important conclusion that follows from this aggressive summit. It consists of the following: we have to be alert!

In our country such a cry should be raised: “Get stronger! Be strong, confident, healthy! Develop your science, industry, military-industrial complex! Strengthen ties with partners and strategic allies!”

– The same as before – the appeals of the Central Committee!

– The point, Sasha, is not in the form, but in the content.

We have real answers to the aggressive steps of the Alliance – these are the decisions of the BRICS, the SCO … Now we have a very important meeting with the leaders of Africa, constant contacts, with the countries of Latin America.

And the Americans with this Biden, the Balts and their European vassals look defiant today. And they should not be underestimated.

Therefore, now we must become as strong as possible and go from defense to offense.

Because, in my opinion, we have a maximum of one year. The war machine of the West is quite powerful and if they are thrown at full speed, they can make big trouble.

In this sense, we must now mobilize all possible resources to the maximum, prepare and ensure the successful liberation of Ukraine from the Nazis, the fascists and Bandera.

– That is, as I understand it, when you say that it is necessary to switch from defense to offense, you mean not only the NMD, but the situation as a whole, right?

– Yes, generally. I basically started with this.

We need to strengthen our geopolitical ties as much as possible, and they really have become clear.

Look, Xi Jinping was elected president and a week later he came to Moscow and signed very important agreements with us.

His idea of ​​”one belt, one road” is turning into a wonderful planetary project.

After that, Mishustin brought almost the entire government to Beijing, and they held meetings there, signed large-scale contracts…

And we are developing, which is very important, not only the raw materials sector of the economy, but also the scientific and technical areas.

And in this sense, China now leads by example.

This year, its auto industry has produced 28 million cars of all makes and types at 30 companies.

The People’s Republic of China is now becoming the locomotive of the world in this area as well.

India is developing successfully and confidently.

– What do you think of our prospects?

– In fact, not a single African country has supported Western sanctions against us. We have many friends in Southeast Asia and Latin America.

Therefore, we have great and very good prospects.

We recently held the third international economic forum in Orel, prepared a real program and showed what can be done even under these conditions.

The enterprises of our people, for example, the Grudininsky collective farm in the Moscow region, have become the best even under sanctions.

We do not take a penny from the state, we pay huge taxes, the social sphere is excellent, excellent schools, excellent career guidance, high salaries.

– What are they?

– Grudinin in the collective farm now has an average salary of 114 thousand. And people queue up to get a job there.

As for the children… Just now we met with the government, we discussed it, what is everyone worried about? There are not enough teachers in the schools, and there are not enough doctors in the hospitals and polyclinics.

At Grudinin’s, we now have nine first grade classes. Excellent housing, plus a salary – a package of social support. Now there is everything for children. Near. Learn, lead by example and move on.

If we cut social services in the country as a whole, we will begin to wither away.

Better to invest in the latest technology.

Right now, thousands of companies have invested in the military-industrial complex. They are paid, they pay taxes. And in that sense, this locomotive pulls the country’s economy. And we have three locomotives.

– What are they?

– Military-industrial complex, agricultural sector and construction.

Here, invest here and you will get a great return.

– Thank you, Comrade Secretary General!

– Come on, I’ll hug you.

According to the republic’s traffic police, a family from Moscow stopped on the side of the road to look at the trail of the Arctic Circle. The girl ran across the street in the wrong place when a car was moving by her.

A 48-year-old resident of Murmansk was driving at the prescribed speed, when he saw a boy on the road, he tried to avoid a collision. But he did not succeed.

The injured girl was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where she died shortly after. The accident is under investigation.

The film production company A24 has published a new trailer for the surreal comedy “Troublemaker”. The premiere of the film will take place on August 4. Starring Tilda Swinton and Julio Torres. The latter also wrote the script and directed the film. For Torres, the film marked his directorial debut.

The tape tells of a toy designer from El Salvador named Alejandro. He moved to New York to follow his dream, starting to work for an eccentric artist in the hope that she would sign him a work visa. The film’s official synopsis promises “a surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York and America’s immigration system.”

The film also stars American rapper and music producer RZA and Catalina Saavedra. The film’s narrator was Isabella Rossellini.

The first trailer for Wes Anderson’s comedy Asteroid City has just been released. The film stars Margot Robbie, Willem Dafoe and Tilda Swinton. We talk about it in more detail here.

The latest monthly report on the oil market from the International Energy Agency (IEA) foresees a lower global demand for crude oil than anticipated for the year 2023. This drop in expectations would be justified by not having met the recovery objectives of the economy. expected and the lack of activity in the European industrial market.

Updated IEA figures would put oil consumption this year at an average of 102.1 million barrels per day. Despite exceeding the data from previous years, with 2.2 million barrels more than in 2022, if these estimates are met, 220,000 barrels per day would be consumed less than what had been calculated the previous month.

The difference in demand between 2023 and the previous year corresponds almost entirely to higher consumption in countries outside the OECD. In fact, more than 90% of this increase would be explained by the markets of developing countries. Specifically, China would be the largest consumer, representing 70% of this increase in demand.

Russian crude could overtake Saudi oil

Specifically, the Asian country will absorb 1.6 million barrels per day more than in 2022, which highlights the effect of its opening after two years of covid restrictions. For its part, in the OECD, and in particular in Europe, the lesser economic dynamism will lead to a contraction in demand for four consecutive quarters, between the third of 2022 and the third of 2023.

For 2024, the IEA has corrected its projections upwards compared to those made last month (290,000 more barrels per day), and expects that world demand will progress by 1.1 million compared to that of 2023. This correction is explained because its experts Above all, they expect higher diesel consumption in China and more positive global economic prospects in the long term.

Regarding the offer, the agency emphasizes that the cuts that have been applied in Saudi Arabia and some of the producers of the OPEC+ cartel since November have been almost completely covered by other countries. In June, extractions increased worldwide by 480,000 barrels per day to 101.8 million, mainly due to the recovery of part of Canada’s production, which had fallen due to forest fires and maintenance work.

Last Month Oordta Was Only 70,000 Barrels A Day Less Than October 2022, Just Before The Opec+ Cuts, And That Thanks To Supplemental Contributions From Iran (Which Is Not Worried About Adjusting The Oil Cartel Although It Is A Member ), from Kazakhstan, Nigeria or the United States.

However, the agency warns that the amount of crude that goes on the market could fall by more than a million barrels a day this month if Saudi Arabia applies the scissors again. If that materializes, Saudi extractions would remain at about 9 million barrels per day, its lowest level in two years, below that of Russia, which would go on to occupy the first position in the OPEC+ bloc.

Yesterday in the Moscow cinema “Art” was the premiere of the film “Jeanne Dubarry” with Johnny Depp in the lead role. The picture was the first for the actor after his triumphant return to the world of cinema. Recall that due to a scandalous dispute with ex-wife Amber Heard, Johnny was literally banned from filming. It is not surprising that the entire show business has gathered at the Russian premiere of the film. Everyone wanted to see Depp.

Even Irina Khakamada, who is a rare guest at such events, appeared on the red carpet. Irina chose a relaxed look in a win-win black and white color scheme: voluminous pants, a jumper with holes and basic sneakers.

Natalia Rudova.

Natalya Rudova also decided not to bother and dressed in the current street style: the actress combined an oversized leather jacket with wide jeans from Alexander Wang and trendy Jordan. By the way, Natalia has repeatedly complained that she is poorly filmed on the tracks and looks like a “crazy fat woman.” Perhaps for this reason, the actress chose the most voluminous bow.

Among the fans of Johnny Depp was Alla Mikheeva, who opted for wide blue jeans, a milky blouse and a light coat of the same tone. The presenter completed the outfit with pearls and a miniature Cristian Dior bag.

“I can’t say that I love historical films and premieres in general, but I like Depp,” Alla said.

Olga Buzova’s stylist Nikita Karsten once again surprised the audience with her appearance – she came in the form of Marie Antoinette.

“Every event in Khudozhestvenny is an event. I was inspired, of course, by the film and the hero of Johnny Depp. The wig is modern, but the crinoline is retro. We can say that those years. Hard to find!”

As always, Olga Kabo looked very elegant, who appeared at the premiere with her daughter Tatiana. Olga chose an off-the-shoulder jacket and flared trousers. The actress completed the bow with topaz jewelry and a Valentino bag. Tatyana combined a white jacket with wide pants, soft pink Gucci and shoes of the same tone.

But Elena Zakharova obviously did not dress for her age. A tweed suit with denim inserts still looked good, but she ruined it with a white blouse with a ruffle that revealed her stomach and shiny sandals that she seemed to have lent someone.

Nadya Ruchka seemed incredibly boring and irrelevant. Despite her natural beauty, the singer “smeared” everything with old-fashioned skinny jeans and a jacket or coat that was completely off topic.

The stylist Vladislav Lisovets and the singer IVAN focused on animal prints. Vlad appeared in python boots and IVAN in a daring leopard print shirt.

“I really don’t like the historical genre, because I live here and now. But today I came more out of curiosity, because in our time something strange is like the appearance of Christ to the people,” Lisovets said.

“After the worsening of the geopolitical situation in 2022, the cost of car maintenance in Russia became more expensive by 50% due to an increase in the prices of original spare parts, the suppliers of which refused to partner with Russian dealers. However, after the appearance on the market of analogues of components that are not inferior in quality to the original ones, the situation with the prices for services and maintenance has stabilized, but repair work has risen in price in 2023, for In the January through May period, the average check, regardless of the age of the car, increased 21%.

To date, there are no prerequisites for increasing the cost of maintenance. The shortage of spare parts and consumables is observed only in the segment of premium cars, in other cases analogues or imported components are used through parallel imports. However, due to the volatility of the exchange rate and the regular increase in the prices of logistics services, the cost of spare parts may increase 2-5 times before the end of the year, depending on the pricing policy of the manufacturers and the number of participants in the supply chain,” says Alexander Nosko, Fresh’s director of automotive market services.

At the same time, Avtodom Altufievo service director Roman Timashov emphasizes that spare parts produced in the Russian Federation are often made from imported raw materials, which are usually also included in the cost of the final product.

“Basically, the change in the price of spare parts is proportional to the change in the exchange rate. Additional risks that are now being presented are the impact of sanctions on logistics and payment for goods. Supply chains supply of goods are lengthening, the cost of transferring money is also increasing In general, the price of spare parts has increased by 10-15%.

The general instability of exchange rates affects the maintenance and repair of a car, but the task of any business enterprise is to retain a customer. Now the trends in car maintenance are as follows: repair of components and assemblies, use of non-original spare parts, use of analogues, use of contract and used parts, “adds Timashov.

Sánchez has guaranteed this Thursday that the process of the general elections on July 23 will be “clean, as always” and has accused Feijóo of questioning the vote by mail to “muddy the political debate” and create “disaffection” so that citizens do not vote. In his opinion, it is a smoke screen to divert attention from what interests the citizens, in his opinion the proposals of each party and that seeks to create “disaffection so that people do not go to vote and mistrust the electoral process”. In addition, he has denied giving orders to make voting by mail more difficult.

“As president, I guarantee that Spain is going to have a clean democratic process, as we have always had. Spain is a full, robust democracy, which is in the best rankings for democratic quality”, stressed the head of the Executive. He did it when asked about the fact that Feijóo, at a rally yesterday in Murcia, asked the postmen to work “tomorrow, day and night” to deliver the vote by mail, since this Thursday is the last day to request it , also committing to pay them overtime if he governs for “fulfilling his duty.”

Sánchez has expressed his chest that the Government has made it easier for these elections to vote by mail by allowing it to be requested electronically, as well as that thanks to the reform of the requested vote, Spaniards living abroad will have an easier time voting. “I am not going to get into that mud of the PP and Feijóo. They are in it not to talk about what matters to the citizens and to try to hide two new governments with Vox,” he concluded.

Along the same lines, Yolanda Díaz, in an interview with Espejó Público, has called for respect for the work of Post Office employees and has underlined the seriousness of this type of statement, which threatens to call the electoral process into question.

Feijóo defends that he has not spoken of “pucherazo”

For his part, Feijóo has assured this Thursday that they cannot be “stingy with no resources” in voting by mail because it is about “not a single vote remaining in a mailbox.” For this reason, he has once again asked the postmen who worked “morning and afternoon” so that these votes reach people’s homes. “Here no one talks about pot-punching, here what is being talked about is the demonstrations of the CCOO and UGT, who know what they are saying, who see the traffic jam that is taking place.”

The ‘popular’ leader has added that this complaint has not been “invented”, but that “many citizens” have told him on the street and that there are even two people from his team who asked for voting by mail at the end of June and they dont have it. In an interview on esRadio, Feijóo has indicated that the Post Office staff has increased, but the unions say that it is “insufficient”, for which he has asked the postmen who worked even outside their shift so that “no vote remains in the mailroom.”

When asked if the PP would be in a position to challenge the electoral result or denounce what happened on July 23 if that were a general situation, Feijóo said that the PP does not want to “contemplate that scenario” because it would be “enormous “political and legal significance”. He has insisted that what his party is asking for since Thursday is that the postmen, due to personal and professional responsibility, worked “above hours”, regardless of whether they are not authorized from the point of view remunerative view In fact, he has reiterated that he is willing to pay overtime if he governs to guarantee that vote by mail.

Correos has hired 19,985 reinforcement people

Correos has confirmed that it has already formalized 19,985 reinforcement contracts for the development of activities related to voting by mail for the general elections on July 23. In a statement, the postal entity assures that it will continue hiring “all the troops that are necessary to guarantee” the vote by mail for 23-J.

Add that in these reinforcement contracts you have taken into account the increase in the number of applications for voting by mail received and the coincidence of the electoral period with the summer holidays. In addition, he ensures that he has covered all the staff vacations during the month of July. The postal company recalls that the contracts have been used to reinforce all its services, such as customer service in offices, the distribution network and delivery of shipments, transport and logistics centers.

On July 11, a 45-year-old rural teacher received a phone call from a fake FSB officer. He said that his account was hacked and now criminals are stealing money from him. Therefore, a woman must contribute to the implementation of operational activities, otherwise she faces criminal liability. For added credibility, the person he called sent a WhatsApp photo of his “official ID.”

The Yakut woman agreed and was later contacted by an alleged Central Bank employee. He also sent the victim a “her ID” photo of her.

The teacher was forbidden to tell her relatives about what had happened and was forced to secretly come to Yakutsk from her family. There, despite the presence of relatives and acquaintances in the city, she rented a hotel room and in two days she issued two bank loans – for 800 and 420 thousand rubles. Then, through an ATM, she transferred 1.2 million rubles to the scammers. She was allowed to keep 20,000 for herself, saying they were “marked.”

“Only on the third day, when the “Central Bank employee” called the victim again to send her to another bank to request a loan, a resident of Tatta called his brother, told him about his misadventures and learned from him that he had become a victim of remote scammers,” the source told the Republican Police.

The department reminds that law enforcement officials and law enforcement agencies never take pictures of official IDs and do not share your sensitive data via instant messaging.

The Myanmar authorities have allowed visa-free entry for Russians. You can stay in the country without a visa for up to 30 days. This was reported in the consular department of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

This regime will be in effect until June 30, 2024. It will affect Russian citizens who come to Myanmar for tourism or business purposes. Visa-free entry is possible through Yangon, Mandalay and Naypyidaw airports.

Starting July 1, 2023, those who wish to stay in Myanmar for more than one month will be able to apply for a special tourist visa. It will be issued on the basis of booking a stay at a hotel on the Unified List of Myanmar. This visa can be double or multiple entry, is valid for up to six months and allows you to stay in the country for 30 days (in the case of a double entry visa) or 90 days (in the case of a multiple visa). . ).

Earlier, Finland introduced new entry restrictions for Russians. They entered into force on July 10. More details can be found here.

Indecision in the stock markets of the Old Continent. The hangover from the drop in inflation data to 3% in June has been followed by moderate rises in the case of the Ibex 35, which advances 0.12%, to 9,465 points. The weakness of the export data in China, with a drop of 12.4% in June, and the avalanche of macroeconomic data that is coming up cause the stock markets to activate the brake. The agenda for this Thursday includes the GDP of the United Kingdom, which experienced a decline of 0.2%, as well as the start of the meeting of the Ministers of Employment and Social Policy of the European Union (EU) in Madrid on the occasion of the Spanish presidency of the EU.

The markets are thus preparing for the results season, which will start tomorrow with the big US banks at the helm, which includes entities such as JP Morgan, Well Fargo and Citigroup. However, PepsiCo will go ahead and publish them today. On the other side of the Atlantic, the producer price index (PPI) will also be relevant, for which a moderation in year-on-year rates is expected and may restore pressure on rate hikes.

“We have doubts that this will be the Fed’s last move, although if inflation continues in the right direction, we do not rule it out 100%. However, there are items, especially housing (accommodation), that continue to out of control and that, given the situation that the US residential sector is going through, of lack of supply, it will be difficult to control -the monthly rise in this item contributed 70% to the monthly increase in the US CPI in July ”, they point out from Link Securities.

We tested the device, and after the above heading, we will not try to keep the intrigue and admit that we were completely delighted with the realme GT3, and in this text we will tell you what exactly hooked us and what shortcomings the device still has. .

Appearance

“Out of the box” is the main epithet that can be used to characterize the design of the realme GT3. Smart is available in two versions: black and white. The latter, as they say, “smarter”, and the second – stricter. The back cover material is not slippery and not easy to get dirty; no fingerprints left on it. In addition, the kit comes with a cover made of a material that is pleasant to the touch – this is the rare case when the phone looks just as stylish even on the bumper, even without it.

At the top of the case there is an area with a camera and a window with an RGB indicator, made in the style of a skeleton watch. The backlight has a more decorative purpose – you can adjust the frequency of its flashing and color when you receive calls or receive notifications. For example, an ominous red in an older audience may evoke a strong association with the eye of the T-800 from James Cameron’s Terminator. Unfortunately, at the moment it is impossible to give more functionality, such as having the indicator light up in any particular color when a certain subscriber calls.

killerfeatures

While American smartphone makers sell their devices without any charger at all, and Koreans fool around with them, you’re really putting a mighty 240W unit in the box. And this is exactly the kind of super adaptation that can completely change the game. Just think about it: the Chinese supplier claims that from zero to one hundredth, the battery capacity fills up in 9.5 minutes. I have checked it many times, and in my home, and not laboratory conditions, this figure is 10-10.5 minutes. In such scenarios, now you don’t have to worry about pre-charging the phone at all; this completely changes the scenario for using it.

The second key feature is a full terabyte drive. The legislation does not provide for such a long vacation that you can watch all the series marked on realme GT3 in such volumes! But seriously, when you activate the OTG function, you will always have a portable bank for massive amounts of data at hand.

Third – a completely bombastic Ultra AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. If you are a fan of IPS matrices, then pay attention to the PWM dimming rate of 2160 Hz. Thanks to him, the eye does not get tired of the screen of the realme GT3, as with other AMOLED panels. The diagonal is 6.74 inches, the resolution is 2772 by 1240 pixels, here there is support for HDR10 + and 1400 nits of maximum brightness – absorbing video content on such a device is a pure pleasure.

Iron

The heart of realme GT3 is the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 5G chipset. Despite the fact that a conditional Gen3 is already looming somewhere on the horizon closer to autumn, it is still difficult to imagine the scale of the task that this processor could not handle. This applies even to running a conditional Genshin with the best graphics settings and smooth frame rate, even emulating the Nintendo Switch console with its endless Zelda, and even heavy professional software for designing bridges and skyscrapers.

16 GB of RAM is installed, and this is an honest physical 16 GB, and not marketing jokes with the virtualization of part of the permanent memory. Therefore, multitasking and maintaining a large number of applications in the background is done routinely.

cameras

Paraphrasing a little popular wisdom: “The main thing is not the number of megapixels, but the ability to use them correctly.” In reality, it seems, they did not chase the numbers, they inserted a 200-megapixel sensor, but managed with a 50-megapixel main lens, but from Sony they are advanced guys in terms of manufacturing equipment for mobile photography.

Well what can I say? The camera is beautiful. Even indoors, even in a desperate lack of light, where the hardware no longer “pulls”, the algorithms of the machines are connected and pull the image due to their dark cybernetic AI magic.

The video is recorded in 4K, and in static the result is excellent, but in dynamic there is a lack of optical stabilization. But by switching to 1080 with the activation of the AI ​​​​assistant, the situation improves dramatically for the better.

BY

The device runs on Android 13 with a proprietary plugin realme UI 4.0, which I personally consider the most convenient of all currently presented. In general, this is “naked Android”, remembered and finished in an ideal state. The shell doesn’t have a bunch of junk and unnecessary apps, but there are plenty of useful features, such as flexible call recording settings and a special game mode utility.

additional advantages

Of course, the device has an NFC chip for contactless payments, there is a fast and accurate under-display fingerprint scanner, but what was unexpected was the infrared port. Some might say that these are the technologies of the ancients, long lost and forgotten. But there is nothing good in the fact that the IrDA chip has ceased to be massive. You cannot find a smartphone with an infrared sensor today with fire, and in office wars for the right to control the temperature of an air conditioner, a better weapon has not yet been invented, so this is a very significant advantage. The vibration is also worth mentioning – the engineers of the Celestial Empire managed to make it very smooth, but at the same time well-expressed.

Why complain?

To answer the question posed in this subheading, I had to do quite a bit of brainwashing, but the format obliges. Therefore, the claims about the realme GT3 may seem to be abusing a post.

The most obvious thing to ask yourself in such a situation is why is the processor in the Gen1 flagship and not Gen2? But after all, the price of a smartphone is noticeably lower than that of competitors in Gen2.

Also striking is the lack of certification for protection against dust and moisture. And this is a common story for almost all realme products, although there are enough examples on the Web of how smartphones of this brand survived after epic swims.

There is no possibility of wireless charging yet, but against the background of a 240 W unit, which replenishes the full capacity of the battery in 10 minutes, all this already seems like a pampering.

Verdict

You already understood everything, but for the sake of formality, we will repeat: realme GT3 is the best smartphone on the Russian market of all those that are officially presented in our country. For its cost, it simply has no competitors, since other models with similar characteristics, firstly, are more expensive, and secondly, they will not have a full warranty and service.

Therefore, if you chose a flagship device with understandable support for yourself or as a gift, then it is recommended to safely buy realme GT3.

The summer will end, but the impressions will remain. How to keep its quantity and quality at the highest level – we consulted with friends from the editorial staff on the special project LETO.BURO. Today Ivan Tengran, designer and founder of the jewelry brand 10.Gran, shares his recommendations.

Text about the crazy Fondazione Prada on my Telegram channel.

Nelli Ermolaeva and blogger Alexei Smagazhevsky got married in Moscow on July 8.

Photo: Personal page of the hero of the post on the social network.

The former participant of “House-2”, and now the host of the program Nelly Ermolaeva and blogger Alexei Smagazhevsky played a wedding in Moscow on July 8 – the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity. The star said that at first they were friends with Alexei for about a year and only then began to see each other. The idea: to go to Peru and organize a second ceremony there belongs to him.

“Lesha runs cool transformational retreats in Peru, after which people’s consciousness and worldview change. I have never been to this country and for me it will be a very interesting experience, ”Nelli Ermolaeva told KP.

According to Alexei, who has been to Peru several times, there are completely different customs, and the celebration will turn out to be very colorful, with rituals and dances.

“Live musicians will play tambourines and drums. Then five shamans will appear who will perform certain rituals and make conspiracies for happiness, prosperity and good luck, as well as protect our family from the evil eye,” Alexey Smagazhevsky shared with KP.

In addition to traveling, the couple have plans to move to a larger home in the future. Recall that for Nelly this marriage was the third: she was married to the reality show participant Nikita Kuznetsov, and then to the restaurateur Kirill Andreev, from whom she gave birth to a son.

“Scarlet” also uses the poetic motif of Green’s eerie “Scarlet Sails” – hence the name of the movie “Scarlet” (scarlet) and the pilot prince Jean, who flew to this peaceful French town – as a messenger from another world where you can fly However, this new Assol is not so much a pilot as her biplane: she, like a famous cartoon character, wants to fly. Hence the French title of the painting, as “Rise”. It is impossible to take it too seriously – it is striped and uneven in cuteness.

We follow how the heroine grows from a vociferous girl in diapers to a beauty with an independent look and a stubborn chin (Juliette Juan). And as the years shift from World War I to the first electric toys, the genre of the movie shifts unrecognizably as well.

It begins as a harsh drama: the soldiers return from the war and among them, limping, is a corpulent Rafael with the industrious hands of a peasant (the best role in the film is the work of the musician Rafael Thieri, who made his film debut at 54, and she is stupefied by the naturalness). From Madame Adeline (the most trusted Noemi Lvovsky) he learns that her late wife was raped by one of the rural males, and in a fit of rage she turns the entire town against her. But her hardened hands can work miracles with wood, and she at first finds work.

All this is given in the tones of everyday rural drama, and nothing portends sharp turns, first in a violent romance, when the Prince-Pilot appears straight from heaven in the guise of the first French screen actor Louis Garrel, and then in a musical. with radiant songs in the style of Michel Legrand. The girl can not only sing, but also play the piano, which her father revived for her from the garbage. In the phonogram of the picture there are now transparent piano overflows, in the frame – foliage transparent in the sun, and in the forest an almost fairy-tale character already lives – the old woman-wizard (almost animated in appearance, the brainchild of Yolanda Moreau).

And when the scarlet sails appear like a dream in the distance of the sea, the poetics of the painting is finally formed: a direct connection emerges between Green’s brand new romance and pilot Jean’s blue plane. One of the most expressive, almost symbolic scenes in the picture, when Juliette climbs into the cockpit and touches the control sticks, the plane responds easily, comes to life, bypassing the flaps, like a dragonfly ready to take off. He treats carnal love with the efficiency of a young animal, subject to its first impulses, and the true poetry is in these books, in the piano keyboard and in this almost living plane.

It’s fun to watch not only how quickly a risk-taking, independent girl matures beyond her years, but also the magical changes in the pretty face of the movie itself with its disarming naiveté of a lovesick neophyte.

Pietro Marcelli was known as the author of documentaries, in particular, about his Armenian colleague Artavazd Peleshyan. A few years ago, he unexpectedly shot Jack London’s “Martin Eden” and immediately made it to the Venice Film Festival, where he won a couple of awards. This film does not seem like a great success to me, but the director’s courage and his stubbornness in the search for his new vocation were noticeable.

“Scarlet” is a continuation of the search, a test of the pen on several cinematographic fronts at once, and good literature again served as the first impulse. And the way the director lovingly inscribes the action of the game into the footage of the artistically transformed chronicle of old Paris gives away a seasoned documentarian at it. And the wide shot of a row of trucks returning soldiers from World War I camps to their homeland, which opens the film, is even outfitted with old film grain and scratches.

Cinematographer Marco Graciaplena sets his own accents. The first few scenes are plunged into darkness, perhaps to hide the face of a 60-year-old actor, too old for a soldier, but then he needs little makeup. A lot of attention to texture: wood, human skin, waves of water… The motif of two outstretched hands is repeated as in Michelangelo’s fresco, a sweet childish and coarse, senile.

All of this is quaint, beautiful, and, yes, strangely naive. Like those songs that the enchanted Juliette sings naively, sitting in the pose of Vasnetsov’s Alyonushka by a calm lake, like Pushkin’s Tatiana with a novel in her hands. There is something about this dreamy country diva by Kuprin Olesya, played by Marina Vladi in the old French film “The Sorceress”: the primal nature of wild reactions and actions. Not to mention the classic “Beauty and the Beast” motif, which tactfully appears in any scene where the tender Juliette is next to her beloved father, the new Quasimodo with a fragile and vulnerable soul.

Such an abyss of associations that arise in almost every frame of the picture is also a sign of a neophyte who dreams of shoveling all the motives of world culture into his film at once.

Vladimir Putin will speak at a meeting of the Forum for Future Technologies on July 13, 2023

On Thursday, July 13, 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin will address the plenary session of the Future Technologies Forum. The KP.RU website carries out a live online broadcast of the Russian leader’s speech.

What Vladimir Putin will discuss with the forum participants

According to the Kremlin press service, the Russian president’s speech will take place at the plenary session on Information Technology and Communications. quantum world. The head of state, together with talented young Russian scientists, will discuss the potential of new computer technologies as well as data transmission for economic growth.

Before speaking with the participants, the Russian leader will visit an exhibition of advanced developments in the field of quantum technologies, organized by Rosatom State Corporation and Russian Railways.

What is the Future Technology Forum?

The Forum of Future Technologies is the main platform for discussing technological development trends in Russia. The forum will take place from July 9 to 14, 2023 at the World Trade Center in Moscow. This time it is dedicated to quantum technologies.

– Military equipment is being finalized taking into account modern threats in order to increase the survival rate on the battlefield and the vehicles themselves, and above all military personnel. First of all, we are working on options for effective protection of the upper hemisphere – they attack it with Javelin anti-tank systems, attack drones, grenades and bombs that are dropped from drones, Bekhan Ozdoev, industrial director of the Rostec arms group, told TASS.

Some solutions are already being applied effectively on the battlefield, the source said.

Earlier, taking into account the experience of SVO, BMP-2 and BTR-82AT were finalized. They have increased the protection of the scopes against bullets and shrapnel. And for the BMP-3, its manufacturer created an articulated dynamic protection assembly that repels the threat of a counter-explosion. You can install the kit on equipment in the field.

.

According to him, the Poles and Lithuanians are discussing a joint invasion of the territory of Western Ukraine, where they are going to create a buffer zone.

The expert warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that if any of the Baltic countries try to occupy the western part of the country, the Russian Armed Forces will launch a full-scale counterattack. He specified that Poland’s intervention in the conflict would be seen as a NATO attack against Russia.

McGregor cautioned that “this is another wake-up call.”

Earlier, the expert said that Poland, after the defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, could easily seize the territories of Western Ukraine, because this land used to be part of Poland. McGregor noted that the heavy losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are a great temptation for the West to invade and “cut off” the western part of Ukraine.

Research in Spain is not at its best moment and this obtained comes in the form of a critique by biochemist and researcher Mariano Barbacid, winner of the Ramón y Cajal Award 2022, lamenting that in the last 15 years “it has become what in the school ll We loved a mary, nobody cares.”

Barbacid, who has received in the Press and Power course that this week is taking place in Ciudad de la Educación-San Gabriel, in La Aguilera (Burgos), has indicated that if he compares the money he now has to investigate with the one he had in 2008 and 2009, it can be seen how it has been practically reduced by half.

“That a country that wants to be among the leading countries in the world for our history and for our future has wasted 15 years of biomedical research is very sad. As a Spaniard, the truth is, I cannot be optimistic,” he assessed.

How much does the Government allocate to an investigation?

The discoverer of the trak oncogene has recognized that the years of Mariano Rajoy’s government were very negative, since the Ministry of Science and Technology was eliminated and included within the Ministry of Economy, despite the fact that it had nothing to do with that portfolio. The result was that for years money was asked for research to no avail and between 2008 and 2016 funding for research was cut in half.

A situation that has not improved much with the coming to power of Pedro Sánchez since, although in the public appearances of the members of the Government it is assured that the money allocated to research has doubled, in reality this increase has been barely 9%, according to Barbacid’s calculations.

How much budget does the Government give to Barbacid?

In more detail, he explained that his laboratory has an annual budget of 700,000 euros. Of this amount, the ministry contributes just over a quarter, around 150,000 euros. Despite this, he has considered that he is among the aristocracy of this field, since on average the public economic contribution to research groups is 50,000 euros.

How much of GDP is for research in Spain?

Already in the audience’s question time, and in response to a participant, he has expanded the analysis and highlighted how in Spain, at this time, around 0.5% of the Gross Domestic Product is dedicated to research, when in Europe that amount rises to 2%. The recently approved Science Law contemplates that in 2030 this expense will rise to 1.25%, but provided that the appropriate circumstances exist.

scientific culture

The creator of the National Center for Oncological Research has considered that one of the main problems is that in this country there is no scientific culture and science is not valued, as evidence in his opinion that research does not occupy time in political debate.

“I like to say that it is not that the richest countries are the ones that invest the most in science or research, but that it is those that have invested the most in research and science that are now the richest. If we want the future of Spain is based on service operations, which are very dignified, but it is not what gives strength, independence, wealth after all”, he remarked.

– Lava 824 was put into operation along the Sychevsky I formation, – the company said.

It should be noted that before starting work, the experts analyzed the ventilation and fire protection of the mine. On the face of it, preventive measures were also taken to ensure safety against endogenous fires during cleanup operations.

“All Listvyazhnoy personnel have done everything possible to ensure that the 824 longwall and the mine as a whole meet all industrial safety requirements,” said mine director Viktor Anufriev.

Let us remember that in November 2021 a methane explosion occurred in the mine of the Gramoteino workers’ settlement. There was fire and thick smoke. At that time, 285 miners were underground. Before the change of miners, the devices alerted the direction of a possible danger. But the miners were sent to work anyway.

The explosion killed 51 people and injured 76. According to Rostekhnadzor, the accident was caused by a systemic distortion of the safety control results and gas contamination.

In the case of the accident at Listvyazhnaya, several people were arrested and convicted, including top managers of the SDS-Ugol holding, mine directors and representatives of Rostekhnadzor.

As it turned out, this is not the first accident at this mine. In January 1981, on “Listvyazhnaya” there was a drift accumulation methane explosion due to a short circuit in the headlight wire of the K-56MG combine, killing 5 people. And in October 2004, a mixture of methane and air exploded in the mine. 13 people died.

The Bank of Canada pulls the trigger more and raises interest rates by a quarter point, which places them at 5%, the highest level in the North American country since March 2001, in the face of persistent inflation. It is the tenth time since January 2022 that the Canadian central bank has increased interest rates to control inflation, which reached 8.1% in June 2022 and stood at 3.4% in May. The Canadian monetary authority justified the decision by strong demand and labor shortages that “are causing persistent inflationary pressures on services.”

The Bank of Canada also said in a statement that the strength of the national economy has exceeded expectations with consumption growth “surprisingly strong” at 5.8% in the first quarter. “Although the Bank expects consumer spending to slow down in response to the cumulative increase in interest rates, recent retail trade data among others suggests that excess demand persists in the economy,” the monetary authority added.

The central bank expects economic growth to slow to around 1% in the second half of the year and the first half of 2024, which will mean an increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 1.8% in 2023, from 1 2% in 2024 and 2.5% in 2025 slower than expected.

“The governing council continues to prefer that progress towards the 2% target could be halted, jeopardizing a return to price stability,” the Bank of Canada explained. The Bank of Canada was one of the first in the world to launch a monetary policy offensive with high inflation running rampant in early 2022. The bank responded forcefully by raising its interest rate from 0.25% a year ago to 5 % current, that is, 475 basic points of escalation that mark a record in its policy.

– Number 13 strengthened us from the beginning. Everything went well. A long way has come from the Ural regional to the main industrial exhibition; we usually say Russia, but if you look at the composition of our participants, we can safely say Eurasia. Because they have all arrived! We have 11 delegations headed by foreign ministers and more than 35 business delegations from around the world. These are, of course, our closest neighbors, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. This, of course, is our magnificent partner country – the Republic of Belarus. But also countries abroad: the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and many, many different countries. You can’t list them all! So the first point: INNOPROM is still a global platform. The second point is the content part: you yourself probably noticed that the exposition is filled to the brim. Even in the galleries between the pavilions there are stands of companies! We have reached the limits of the Yekaterinburg EXPO site, and this cannot but rejoice. Most of the stands are heavy machinery, software and the most advanced machines. And literally at every booth there is at least one exhibit that is truly a premiere.

How do you evaluate the INNOPROM 2023 business program?

Anton Atrashkin: First of all, we can recall the main plenary session, which was attended by three prime ministers and 11 ministers from different countries. But INNOPROM’s business program is not limited to this main session. It also has hundreds of events, including within the framework of the conference on new industrial technologies, on personnel, on work with suppliers, on new materials – all these are opportunities for company representatives to communicate with each other, meet , shake hands. One of our formats for personal networking is the platform of Russian business representatives. 55 sales representatives, each occupied a separate table, and any company, from KAMAZ to representatives of small businesses, had the opportunity to sit down with any sales representative in Russia from all over the world, ask questions about entering the market of this country. I think this is a great platform. And of course I’ll mention our vendor forum. Ten purchasing managers from the largest Russian companies met with small and medium-sized companies for two days in a row, each of which had 10-15 minutes to sell their product to the purchasing managers.

Tell us about the premieres of the industrial exhibition

Anton Atrashkin: We have never pursued the goal of surprising anyone at the exhibition. For this, there is Disneyland or the Tretyakov Gallery, where you can get a lot of visual aesthetic impressions. Our task has always been to create a trading platform. For this technology, this product to meet its first customer. And there are a lot of them, starting with the Nevsky tram, which the Transport Systems company offers to the market, this is a completely new model, it is almost completely localized. These trams are already running in St. Petersburg, a completely new model has been presented at INNOPROM, with great expectations for the markets of other regions of Russia. This is a huge number of drones for a variety of purposes, for industry, for agriculture, and companies are showing them here for the first time. A very big advance in INNOPROM in the field of pharmaceutical products and medical equipment. Historically, we did not focus in this direction, but every year small corners were formed at the exhibition, which were dedicated to them. Now this direction is presented here extensively. And it’s no coincidence that this year’s national industry award winner is Metiz Production, maker of high-tech prosthetics.

There was a feeling that interregional cooperation in INNOPROM had reached a new level.

Anton Atrashkin: This is absolutely true. We had 25 regional shows this year. And many governors and deputy governors came to lead their delegations. But on the international side, we also had a large delegation of Akims from Uzbekistan, Khakims from Kazakhstan, and heads of regions from our wonderful partner country, the Republic of Belarus. And on every corner, in B2B zones, at our evening events, there were plenty of opportunities for such direct interregional communication. And for this it is not necessary to sit in a large hall, in armchairs. They need to communicate informally. But great deals and interesting projects often start with this informal communication. One year ago, in 2022, we came up with the theme of this year’s INNOPROM “Sustainable production, renewal strategy”. And it seems to me that we are not very wrong on the subject, because the issue of sustainability is something that really worries industrialists a lot.

Can you make any announcement of INNOPROM-2024?

Anton Atrashkin: It’s no secret that we are starting preparations for the next year directly during INNOPROM. Already now, many companies are ready to reserve the same sites where they are today. It is very important for us because it is the correct signal. We are going in the right direction, we are developing in the right way, and this creates the right emotion.

Surprisingly, many of our Chinese participants, who came to INNOPROM for the first time, told me today that they are ready to negotiate on 2024. Therefore, I speak to you, summarizing the results of INNOPROM-2023, but with thought and the heart, of course, already in 2024.

The French fund Antin, through GCE LuxCo, has presented this Wednesday to the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) the request for authorization of the voluntary public offer of acquisition (OPA) of shares on Opdenergy Holding, which will mean disbursing almost 866 million euros to take over the renewables group.

In a communication to the stock market supervisor, the inadequate fund which, after completing the appropriate competition law analysis, considers that it is not necessary to obtain any competition law authorization in relation to the offer and, in particular, It is not necessary to notify or obtain authorizations from the National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC) by virtue of the provisions of Law 15/2007, of July 3, on the Defense of Competition; nor from the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice.

Likewise, on June 28, it requested authorization from the Council of Ministers to invest in Opdenergy before the General Directorate of International Trade and Investment of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism. In addition, Antin has presented, together with his application, two bank guarantees granted by Banco Santander and by Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Branch in Spain, as guarantee entities for a total import of 865,995 million euros. The Spanish financial entity covers 519,597 million euros -60% of the guarantee- and the French 346,398 million euros -the remaining 40%-.

On June 12, the French fund announced the presentation of a euro. 75% of the share capital.

Thus, this friendly offer follows a previous agreement with the founding shareholders of Opdenergy -Gustavo Carrero, Javier Chaves and Javier Remacha-, who together owned 71% of the company and have signed irrevocable commitments to sell all their shares to the offeror. Two of the founders who have signed irrevocable acceptance commitments will reinvest part of the funds obtained in GCE BidCo if the offer is settled successfully, with Gustavo Carrero Díez, through Marearoja Internacional, and Alejandro Chaves Martínez, through Aldrovi, hold up to 10% of the share capital of GCE BidCo each after the settlement of the offer and the completion of the reinvestment.

Another of the group’s reference shareholders is Indumenta Pueri, the owner of Mayoral, which owns 6% of the capital of the renewable energy firm, although it is not yet known whether or not it will attend the offer. Thus, the minimum acceptance condition will be met if, in addition to the shareholders who have already signed up to sell, other shareholders holding shares representing 3.813% of Opdenergy’s share capital accept the OPA.

Maintain headquarters in Spain

Furthermore, the fund, which has more than 30,000 million euros in assets under management through its different investment strategies, intends to maintain Opdenergy’s headquarters in Spain and intends to maintain close collaboration with the strong management team current to take advantage of future opportunities.

If the operation goes ahead, Antin will take over an independent vertically integrated renewable energy developer and producer that has 904 megawatts (MW) in operation, 951 MW under construction and pre-construction -with data at the end of March- and a track record in the development of renewable energy projects, mainly in Spain, the United States, Chile, Italy and Mexico.

Opdenergy’s business model is primarily based on long-term private power purchase agreements (PPAs) with private entities. Thus, 70% of its production is contracted with long-term PPAs with highly solvent counterparties, and to a lesser extent for the sale of energy to the market.

– On July 13, during Internet monitoring, the Osetrovsky transport prosecutor established a video of a leak of oil products from the tanker TR-1026, standing on the Lena River near the quay wall in the city of Ust-Kut , the East Siberian Transport Prosecutor’s Office reported.

According to preliminary information, the boat stood up to load diesel at around one in the morning. A leak was found four hours later.

The download is now finished. Specialists eliminated the leak and eliminate the consequences of what happened. Data is being specified on the amount of petroleum products that reached the river.

Recall that in mid-June, the authorities of the Irkutsk region introduced a state of emergency in the Kirensky district, where two tankers collided in the Lena River, resulting in a fuel spill.

The present and future of Spanish tennis is in a very good ‘right’. Carlos Alcaraz qualified this Wednesday for the semifinals of the prestigious British Grand Slam Wimbledon, after defeating the other pearl of tennis of his generation, Holger Rune. Now, the Murcian tennis player is only two victories away from winning his first Wimbledon, the second Grand Slam of his short career.

Wimbledon is the tournament that gives you the most reputation in the world of tennis. This status is also reflected in the economic prizes that it gives to its winners. This year, in addition, the tournament has reached a record in terms of prizes. 44,700,000 pounds sterling will be distributed among the competitors, which corresponds to 52,238,655 euros. Thus, there is an increase of 11.2% compared to 2022 and almost 20% if we look at 2019, the year before Covid.

How much money does the champion earn?

With his victory in the quarterfinals, Alcaraz will receive 701,619 euros. Players since 2007 charge the same. If they lose in the first round they pocket 64,275 euros, for reaching the round of 16 242,058 euros, and for reaching the quarterfinals 397,584 euros. However, winning the tournament can provide them with an income that doubles what they have so far. The runner-up and runner-up will win 1,175,000 euros, while the Wimbledon winners will get 2,746,377 euros.

On the other hand, the Spanish tennis player Sara Sorribes has also reached the semifinals in doubles, together with her partner, the Czech tennis player Marie Bouzkova. The prize for the winners of the tournament in the doubles modality (in men and women) is 600,000 pounds, around 700,000 euros, while the champions of the mixed doubles modality receive 128,000 pounds, about 149,000 euros.

The podium of the most expensive tournaments

Wimbledon has recovered the second position in terms of Grand Slam that distributes the most prize, only behind the US Open, which distributes around 55 million euros. The podium was completed by the Paris Open, Roland Garros, with 49.6 million. The Australian Open, for its part, is the Grand Slam that brings the least remuneration to tennis players, with 49 million euros.

As for the price of Wimbledon tickets, they skyrocket in the next two rounds. There are big differences between the games played on the center court, where you can see the best players, and the outer courts. Throughout the tournament, purchasing a ticket on the Center Court (main track) required a minimum outlay of more than 100 euros. However, from the quarterfinals these prices increase until they reach 297 euros, which costs the cheapest ticket to witness the final next Sunday.

According to the publication, the fighters of the 118 brigade of the 10 corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to go to the rear of the Russian troops.

“Ours were waiting for this offensive. Artillery began to crush the enemy on the way, and then dagger fire from machine guns cut off several platoons at once,” military correspondents say.

As a result, the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost up to half of its composition in killed and wounded, calling in the help of airborne reserves.

“Reserve companies of the Armed Forces of Ukraine massively “five hundred” (in military jargon the designation “500” means deserters and “refuseniks” – note” RG “”), simply refusing to go to the rescue, seeing the defeat of the first battalion. Those who tried to evacuate the wounded could not reach them, due to the massive fire of our troops, “says the article.

In total, that day, the Russian military repelled three waves of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to Russian Spring, as a result of the fighting, almost all the commanders of the assault groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed or seriously injured.

Spanish banks recorded an outflow of deposits in the first five months of the year for almost a period of time since 1997, the date on which the historical series began. This data contrasts with the growth of 18,255 million euros experienced for the same period of 2022

However, the decrease in the liabilities of Spanish banks has lost intensity at the beginning of the second quarter of the year compared to the first three months. A slowdown that coincides with an improvement in the remuneration of fixed-term deposits. THIS FIGURE WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO A LITTLE MORE THAN THE DEPOSITS THAT BANK SANTANDER WOULD HAVE AT THE CLOSING OF THE QUARTER FOR ITS BUSINESS IN SPAIN (WHICH WERE PLACED ABOVE 310,000 MILLION EUROS) OR ALMOST A THIRD OF THE DEPOSITS FROM BANK SABADELL CLIENTS.

Spanish banks had been increasing their deposit base for several years despite the fact that ECB rates are negative. In 2020, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, financial institutions saw their volume of deposits skyrocket by 53.7 billion euros. It would be necessary to go back to 2018 to find outputs of fixed-term deposits, but with volumes far from the current ones. In that year and for the first five months, the output stood at 10,019 million euros.

Although similar data correspond to the deposits of Spanish banks, the European supervisor found that these dynamics have been for the rest of the European banking sector with most banks experiencing a similar trend: a reduction in the first half of the year in ITO deposits , which have been transferred to other products such as off-balance sheet assets.

Funds, amortizations and fixed income

Where have these almost 56,000 million euros gone? The truth is that this money has not disappeared and Morningstar experts identify three ways out. To begin with, a large part of these deposits has remained in the bank, since clients have noticed the resources out of balance of the entities, that is, increasing their presence in investment funds. Bankinter also showed that the decrease in the balance in payroll accounts lived in the first three months coincided with the growth in these products. This message has been defended by the executives of the main listed entities, who have insisted that they are offering their clients alternatives such as savings funds and insurance, which provide greater added value. But the money has also gone to Letras del Tesoro, where individuals have raised their short-term holdings of State paper to more than 13,000 million euros, according to the latest data from the Bank of Spain.

Another important part of this volume in deposits has been used to pay off a mortgage on the Euribor scale. It should not be forgotten that since the ECB began to raise interest rates, a year ago, the reference index for most variable-rate mortgages has been rising, until breaking the 4% barrier at the monthly closing in the month of June. This increase implies that the mortgage payment has become more expensive on average by around 300 euros per month or 3,600 euros per year. And this is leading to anticipate payments. Proof of this is that the outstanding balances of mortgage loans have been reduced by 8,326 million euros in the first five months of the year. Finally, this outflow of deposits has also been used to offset the loss of purchasing power due to the increase in inflation

High levels of liquidity

Despite this flight of deposits, Spanish banks still have a significant base. At the end of May it was 1.66 trillion euros, although the highest balance shot up in June 2011, when the volume was close to 1.8 trillion euros. A figure that dwarfs the 400,000 million euros of 1997, at the beginning of the historical series. Precisely these figures serve to ratify the high liquidity that Spanish entities have.

In this sense, Morningstar insists that these figures only confirm that the main reason behind the low interest rates on deposits in Spanish banks is related to a large and stable deposit base, which has low sensitivity resiliency to changes in interest rates.
