[00:00:04] 200 years ago, Saram Belinhausen, a native of
[00:00:08] Saram Belinhausen, discovered Antarctica. In the summer of 2020,
[00:00:11] our sailors set off on a journey, passing
[00:00:15] more than 50 ports, in January to celebrate
[00:00:18] the anniversary.
[00:00:22] Watch the exciting adventures of
[00:00:25] Antarctica 200 after Dame
[00:00:28] Belinhausen on Saturday. At 11:30 on TV Plus.
[00:01:10] The warmest day since the beginning of August is coming to
[00:01:14] an end, which means it's time for the summer horizon, with
[00:01:18] you today Alexander Zhemzhurov, good evening and we
[00:01:21] are starting,
[00:01:27] watch today in the summer horizon.
[00:02:08] Details about this bright holiday will be told by its
[00:02:12] founder, florist, Tatyana
[00:02:14] Tridvornova.
[00:02:17] And in Narva, the already traditional Opera
[00:02:20] Days will be held, the tenth in a row. What will
[00:02:23] happen, we will ask about this from the artistic director of this
[00:02:27] festival, Yulia Savitskaya.
[00:12:17] Andy Green is preparing to set a new record, but not
[00:12:20] for entertainment, but to improve and facilitate the work
[00:12:24] of various fields of activity, from construction
[00:12:27] to agriculture, without causing significant harm
[00:12:30] to the environment. Tests of new
[00:12:33] generation machines are underway right now on the Bonneville salt
[00:12:36] flats in Utah.
[00:12:38] Utah.
[00:12:41] The era of diesel fuel is coming to an end. Considering the environment, we are looking
[00:12:44] for new solutions, in the last few years JCB has
[00:12:48] been working on creating a zero-emission
[00:12:51] vehicle, suitable for use worldwide in remote areas.
[00:12:57] To do this, they have converted their internal combustion engines to
[00:13:01] run on hydrogen. JCB announced that
[00:13:04] Green will drive the nine-meter Hydromax vehicle,
[00:13:08] equipped with two hydrogen internal combustion
[00:13:11] engines, with a total power of
[00:13:14] 1,600 horsepower. According to the company, during tests
[00:13:17] at Wittering Air Base in England
[00:13:21] in June, the car reached a speed of 330.
[00:13:27] In the case of GCB technology, this is an excellent way for the construction
[00:13:31] and transport industries and agriculture to move large volumes
[00:13:35] of cargo over long distances and continue to work day and
[00:13:39] night. Electricity takes a long time to charge. Hydrogen 5
[00:13:42] minutes and you're ready to go again. Andy Green, former
[00:13:46] Royal Air Force squadron commander, is the absolute
[00:13:49] world land speed record holder. In
[00:13:52] 1997, he set
[00:14:00] a record by accelerating vehicles to a speed of
[00:14:03] 1227 km/h, which
[00:14:05] is equivalent to breaking the sound barrier on land.
[00:14:09] On August 11 this year, Green will try to set a new
[00:14:13] record. We won't know what it will look like
[00:14:16] until we do the tests, but we are very confident that we will reach
[00:14:20] speeds of over 350 km/h, not just
[00:14:23] showing that hydrogen can be. an alternative fuel compared to
[00:14:27] what it was before, we won't compare, we will try to prove
[00:14:30] that the future is better than the past and it runs on
[00:14:33] hydrogen.
[00:14:40] The Flower Festival will be held
[00:14:44] this year. My colleague Yulia Rostok spoke with Tatyana
[00:14:47] Tridvornova. On August 8, the annual flower
[00:14:51] festival will take place at the Tallin SudaLinn Theater.
[00:14:55] The founder of this bright festival, designer and florist
[00:14:58] Tatyana Tridvornova, will tell more about it.
[00:15:01] Tatyana, good evening, good flower
[00:15:05] evening, I didn't come empty-handed,
[00:15:07] I expected this,
[00:15:11] this is the scepter of flower power, thank you, I
[00:15:14] present the scepter of flower power, this
[00:15:18] is such a very improvised magic
[00:15:20] wand, well, the flower ball this
[00:15:24] year. will be held for the twenty-seventh time.
[00:15:28] Tatyana, if someone had told you back then, at the very beginning, that this
[00:15:32] wonderful event would become such a beautiful annual
[00:15:35] tradition. Would you have believed it? Oh... not just annual, it's
[00:15:39] international, traditional, well, of course I wouldn't have
[00:15:43] believed it, my God, our first brochures that were printed, the
[00:15:46] year wasn't even indicated there, nothing foreshadowed, in fact, that a childish
[00:15:50] dream, everyone already knows that it all originated from my
[00:15:53] childish dream, from Andersen's
[00:15:57] flower tales, a child, little Tanichka
[00:16:00] dreamed that when she grew up, the first thing she would do is go to the
[00:16:03] flower ball, well, it's clear, when I grew up, I realized that
[00:16:07] there is no flower ball, but she doesn't give up her childish dream,
[00:16:10] so now all the flowers dance annually,
[00:16:14] well, dreams must come true,
[00:16:17] yes, but you are in
[00:16:19] blue today, in sky blue, sky blue, does this mean
[00:16:22] that this will be such a unifying theme this year, or do you give
[00:16:26] complete freedom to florists, yes, that's true, and we
[00:16:30] give this freedom to florists, because there is no
[00:16:33] theme that cannot be told with flowers,
[00:16:37] therefore I don't want to limit, you know, we
[00:16:40] never set a theme, the only thing we certainly recommend, I really love
[00:16:44] nature, very often people ask me what is my
[00:16:47] inspiration, and I want to say that it is, of course,
[00:16:51] nature, a dress can be made from anything, I have already
[00:16:55] made dresses in my life, what have I not
[00:16:58] made them from, I still have stones left, in fact,
[00:17:01] and unifying, after all,
[00:17:04] I love my. theatrical light, sound,
[00:18:07] everything will play a role in the
[00:18:11] revelation of the images created by florists,
[00:18:14] Finland, well, Estonia, of course, Estonian florists,
[00:18:18] Latvia, we have a team from
[00:18:21] Spain, probably it's so hot there that they decided to cool down
[00:18:25] a little bit with us, and
[00:18:28] uh, well, in fact, of course, my dream is for
[00:18:32] the flower ball to become the flower Eurovision, because
[00:18:36] a lot is being prepared.
[00:19:07] that these 27 years, that we
[00:19:10] can - celebrate this holiday, huge
[00:19:13] help from Tallinn City Hall and our gratitude for
[00:19:17] this, and of course, the administration of Kisklin, many
[00:19:20] thanks to them too for helping us maintain this
[00:19:23] tradition, well, let's talk about the flower
[00:19:26] masterpieces themselves, flower dresses, in 27
[00:19:29] years, you have probably seen, well, an endless number
[00:19:33] of amazing works, is there anything that you remember through the years, some
[00:19:36] special works.
[00:20:50] an amazing work, Napoleon, we were here as guests,
[00:20:53] Napoleon victoriously marches all
[00:20:56] over the place, everyone welcomes him perfectly,
[00:20:59] there are good works, and how long does it take
[00:21:03] to create this flower masterpiece, you have to do it very
[00:21:06] quickly so that nothing wilts, because everyone says, how do you do it so that the flowers don't
[00:21:10] wilt, flowers do wilt, but we know how to
[00:21:13] negotiate with them, and contestants start
[00:21:16] coming to the site from 7:00
[00:21:19] in the morning. They are allowed, according to the terms of the competition,
[00:21:22] to make frames, they can do anything, but
[00:21:25] on the other hand, we can't even not give them a task, no one will make
[00:21:29] a flower dress the day before, because it will wilt, so
[00:21:32] from the very morning the jury
[00:21:36] comes to us, at 16:00
[00:21:40] the evaluation begins, because this is
[00:21:43] not only beautiful, it's a competition, each work is evaluated
[00:21:47] by four. who doubts, who
[00:22:20] doubts, there are no
[00:22:23] doubts, the contestants are a little doubtful, well, not so much
[00:22:26] doubtful, a little scared, so I urge everyone
[00:22:29] to definitely decorate your
[00:22:32] life, such your biography, if you are
[00:22:35] a professional, you must participate in competitions,
[00:22:39] and viewers, listen, dress up, you can't
[00:22:42] dress up for some concert, for a flower ball, and you will be awarded
[00:22:46] a diploma, small gifts from the authority and...
[00:22:50] and you know, as they always say, well, firstly, it's beautiful, they say, and
[00:22:53] secondly, the first is quite enough, I completely
[00:22:56] agree with you, thank you very much for this
[00:22:59] conversation, we talked about flower beauty today with
[00:23:02] Tatyana Tridvornova, the summer horizon program
[00:23:05] continues,
[00:23:11] next in the program, hello, I'm Panda,
[00:23:15] a cute three-year-old robot Panda, nice
[00:23:17] to meet you, this is the robot companion, created by
[00:23:21] a Chinese technology company. Our
[00:23:25] goal is to apply live interaction technology in
[00:23:28] companion robots, so that they better understand human
[00:23:31] intentions. No less important is what is often forgotten today in
[00:23:35] the field of AI, this is the expression
[00:23:38] of emotions. In Narva, the already
[00:23:41] traditional Opera Days will be held, the tenth in a row.
[00:23:45] What will happen, we will ask the artistic director of this
[00:23:49] event.
[00:24:00] On this historic day, we are starting to implement
[00:24:03] the project of reintroduction of the Turanian
[00:24:06] Tiger, preparation took a long time,
[00:24:10] over 10
[00:24:11] years.
[00:24:17] In China, as in Europe, there is also
[00:24:21] an abnormal heatwave, but they are fighting it with new technologies,
[00:24:24] what did the Chinese come up with this time, about this in the next
[00:24:27] story.
[00:24:32] Eastern China was covered by an abnormal heatwave,
[00:24:35] the air temperature exceeded
[00:24:37] 40°. In these conditions, city
[00:24:41] services came to the aid of street cleaners, who gave them
[00:24:44] special vests with air conditioning. Two silent
[00:24:47] fans are built into the bright equipment.
[00:24:53] They provide constant air circulation
[00:24:57] and accelerate sweat evaporation, helping them endure long shifts
[00:25:00] under the scorching sun. One battery charge
[00:25:04] lasts for 3-4 hours of continuous operation, and during
[00:25:08] lunchtime the vests are sent for
[00:25:11] centralized recharging for the second half
[00:25:14] of the day. Hi, I'm Panda,
[00:25:17] a cute three-year-old robot Panda. Nice
[00:25:20] to meet you. Ofhanch, Zhou
[00:25:23] presented the world's first companion robot with
[00:25:27] artificial emotional intelligence. The device, nicknamed
[00:25:30] Panda, is designed for children and is intended to become
[00:25:34] a true friend for them. The robot not only looks like a cute
[00:25:38] panda, but also maintains a temperature close to
[00:25:41] human. Our goal is to apply
[00:25:44] live interaction technology in
[00:25:46] companion robots so that they better understand human
[00:25:50] intentions. No less important is what is often forgotten today in
[00:25:53] the field of AI, this is the expression of emotions,
[00:25:57] for example, the ability to convey feelings with the right look or movement,
[00:26:01] the combination of these functions. we call embodied live
[00:26:04] interaction. The robot can recognize a child's
[00:26:08] mood, helps form good habits and teaches
[00:26:12] English in a playful format.
[00:26:15] And in China's Guangdong province, a significant step
[00:26:19] has been made in the development of high technologies. In the Shunde
[00:26:22] district, the country's first state agency for
[00:26:25] the development of smart robots has been created. This special
[00:26:28] bureau will manage the creation of machines with artificial intelligence
[00:26:32] that can operate in the real world, in factories, streets
[00:26:36] and everyday life. Shunde is the largest center
[00:26:39] of robotics in China. More than a hundred
[00:26:43] enterprises operate here, and factory workshops, smart homes and urban
[00:26:47] services serve as an ideal platform for testing new
[00:26:50] humanoid assistants.
[00:26:54] And in Nanjing, culinary technologies have gone even
[00:26:58] further. A fully automated restaurant
[00:27:01] has opened there, where.
[00:27:09] using artificial intelligence algorithms to
[00:27:12] precisely control temperature, spices and cooking
[00:27:15] time. Our equipment allows us to
[00:27:18] serve more than 2 thousand people per shift, the
[00:27:22] menu features over 40 dishes. Our database
[00:27:25] contains more than 3,000 recipes
[00:27:29] from all eight major cuisines of China. This
[00:27:32] means that we can update the menu every day,
[00:27:36] for a whole month, and never repeat ourselves.
[00:27:40] Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, the world's first
[00:27:43] fully autonomous vehicle tests were held
[00:27:46] in left-hand drive conditions. Baidu's autonomous
[00:27:49] taxi successfully drove along the specified
[00:27:53] route on the territory of the local airport, making all
[00:27:57] planned stops. The test drive went flawlessly,
[00:28:00] despite the torrential rain.
[00:28:09] The Narva Opera Days are celebrating their 10th
[00:28:12] anniversary, we will talk about this event today with the artistic director
[00:28:15] of this event, Yulia Savitskaya is in our studio, good
[00:28:19] evening, thank you for coming, hello, 10
[00:28:22] years ago, for some it may be a long time, for some it's just
[00:28:26] the beginning, how do you feel, at the beginning of the journey
[00:28:29] or already with a lot of experience and a big
[00:28:33] history, well, it depends on what to compare it with, right, because 10
[00:28:37] years, yes, that's a long, long period, a lot
[00:28:40] has been done, a lot has been learned, and for me
[00:28:44] the most important thing is that experience has appeared,
[00:28:47] uh-huh, it's also very important that we have our own audience, people who
[00:28:51] are waiting for the festival, who come every year and
[00:28:55] somehow pass on information to their friends and acquaintances, yes, that's what we call
[00:28:59] word of mouth, which, I think, works in any country.
[00:29:32] go to the opera for the first time, especially since it's
[00:29:35] unfamiliar, right, surely many people know such an opera as Carmen
[00:29:39] or, I don't know, Swan Lake, ballet, but very
[00:29:43] few people know that there is such an opera as this year's opera by
[00:29:46] Philip Glass, Einstein on the Beach,
[00:29:50] so the audience is afraid, and because of this we found
[00:29:53] a compromise, every year we do
[00:29:57] some kind of, well, I call it pop opera, something
[00:30:01] very famous. or, for example, a gala concert or
[00:30:04] some famous ballet, that is, we don't only have opera, we also have ballet, we can have
[00:30:08] operetta, and some concerts, and I
[00:30:11] try to always, if not a world premiere, then
[00:30:15] something modern, closer to modernity, some new production,
[00:30:18] uh-huh, that is, such a, let's say,
[00:30:21] hamburger, yes, there is a headliner, it turns out, and there is something
[00:30:25] hidden so that people can taste and discover
[00:30:29] something new for themselves, you already said that you have a ... I
[00:30:32] audience, that is, you immediately conceived this festival for
[00:30:36] guests of Narva or still initially expected the Narva
[00:30:40] audience, who is your audience? Well, Narva is
[00:30:43] a small town, I naturally understood that we cannot
[00:30:47] gather large halls only from the Narva public, naturally, I
[00:30:51] assumed and we plan that some of the guests will come from Estonia
[00:30:54] and other cities, as well as guests from other countries, and
[00:30:58] also people who live in...
