[00:05:27] We'll take on this case, it will be an honest detective.
[00:05:49] The mortgage market is growing in Russia, from January to July it
[00:05:52] amounted to 2,600 billion rubles. Donara Kurmanova will tell
[00:05:56] about this and other economic news, Donara, hello, why
[00:06:00] have Russians started taking out mortgages more often? Dmitry, good
[00:06:03] afternoon, first, the rate is decreasing, besides, people have become more active in resorting
[00:06:07] to such a tool as refinancing.
[00:06:11] The volume of issuance. For 7 months of this year
[00:06:14] exceeded 2.5 rubles. According to VTB,
[00:06:18] this is 38% more than a year ago. The peak occurred
[00:06:21] in June, banks issued 475 billion
[00:06:25] rubles. After all, Russians actively applied for family mortgages
[00:06:28] to take advantage of existing benefits. In July, the indicator
[00:06:32] reached 355 billion.
[00:06:35] Chinese corporation Sinopec increased its imports of Russian
[00:06:39] oil. According to Reuters, it purchased up to forty batches of fuel.
[00:06:42] that is, 320,000 barrels per day maximum, thus it
[00:06:46] compensates for the reduction in supplies from Middle Eastern countries.
[00:06:49] Let me remind you, Sinopec is the world's largest oil refiner. Before the start
[00:06:53] of the Iranian conflict, it purchased large volumes of oil from Saudi
[00:06:57] Arabia, however, in August, Sinopec imported 2 million
[00:07:00] barrels from that country, not 11, as before.
[00:07:04] Gas injection into European storage facilities is at a 3-year minimum.
[00:07:08] These are the data from Gas Infrastructure Europe at the beginning of August.
[00:07:11] In total, since the beginning of April, EU countries have only been able to place
[00:07:15] 48% of the volumes needed for the upcoming
[00:07:19] winter into their tanks. Reasons: rising prices due to the situation around Iran,
[00:07:22] extreme heat, and the refusal of Russian energy carriers.
[00:07:26] Let me remind you, according to the requirements of the European Commission, countries of the union must fill
[00:07:29] gas storage facilities to 90% by October
[00:07:32] 1st. And Ukraine lost more than a billion dollars
[00:07:36] in foreign exchange earnings due to the blockade of seaports since July
[00:07:39] 22nd. According to the Tas agency, losses
[00:07:43] amount to about 70 million dollars, primarily due to
[00:07:46] a sharp reduction in supplies of agricultural products.
[00:07:50] Let me remind you, agriculture is a key sector of the Ukrainian
[00:07:53] economy. Today, the country's sea trade goes only through the port
[00:07:56] of Izmail, but it is impossible to reorient all cargo to it due to low
[00:08:00] throughput, a maximum of 20 million tons per year. These
[00:08:04] were the economic news. Briefly. Yes, Denara,
[00:08:07] thank you. Denara Kurmanova reported on economic news. And we
[00:08:10] move on to another topic. The Mayor of Hiroshima did not name the country
[00:08:14] that dropped the atomic bomb on his city, but
[00:08:17] criticized the Russian operation in Ukraine. This was how the official representative
[00:08:21] of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, commented on the speech of the Japanese official at
[00:08:24] the anniversary of the US nuclear strike. As the
[00:08:27] diplomat emphasized, Moscow always remembered the victims of the two Japanese cities
[00:08:31] and cited the tragedy as an example of unacceptable
[00:08:34] cruelty. From Japan, a report by Sergey
[00:08:37] Mengazhev. The main burial site for the victims of the atomic
[00:08:40] bombing of Hiroshima is located on the territory of the peace park, where the epicenter
[00:08:44] was. Here they buried bodies that were collected throughout
[00:08:47] the city, but directly in this part of the city there was no one
[00:08:51] to collect. At the moment of the explosion, the temperature at the epicenter reached
[00:08:54] 3000° Celsius, leaving nothing of the people but
[00:08:58] a stain on the ground. The remaining shadow of a man sitting on the stone
[00:09:02] steps of a destroyed bank is among the exhibits of the local
[00:09:05] museum.
[00:09:11] The nuclear mushroom from...
[00:09:15] dropped from an American bomber at 8:15 AM
[00:09:18] on August 6, 1945, leveled half the city
[00:09:22] with a population of 400 thousand people. Americans
[00:09:25] later thoroughly documented horrifying mutilations, including
[00:09:28] Japanese children, as evidence of the power of American
[00:09:32] weapons. Hibakusha, as the survivors of the explosion or those
[00:09:35] suffering from the effects of radiation sickness are called in Japan,
[00:09:39] replenish the mournful list of victims every year. Secret.
[00:09:44] 8 years ago he died of cancer, he managed to survive the explosion, but the symptoms
[00:09:48] of radiation sickness haunted him all his life, his name is included in the official
[00:09:52] list of victims, I always come here to pray, we must remember
[00:09:55] this tragedy so that it never happens again, the lists of hibakusha
[00:09:59] who passed away during the past year are brought to the memorial in Hiroshima before the eternal
[00:10:03] flame every August 6, now officially there are over
[00:10:07] 350 of them.
[00:10:29] The strokes of the memorial bell sound exactly at 8:15 AM, after which
[00:10:33] all those present bow their heads in a minute of silence, then
[00:10:36] the procedure, refined over the years, the traditional declaration of peace from
[00:10:40] the Mayor of Hiroshima, in which he calls on all countries to abandon
[00:10:43] nuclear weapons and stop conflicts, but he does so
[00:10:47] in a peculiar way. The Hiroshima authorities in 2022 banned
[00:10:51] the Russian delegation, the only country, from participating in the ceremonies.
[00:10:55] For example, in the case of Israel or the USA, no such principled stance
[00:10:58] is observed, and among all current conflicts, the mayor mentioned
[00:11:02] again only the Ukrainian one. Instantaneous
[00:11:05] destruction by atomic fire of tens of thousands of people, about 70 thousand in
[00:11:08] Hiroshima died immediately, another same number by the end of 1945,
[00:11:12] the thirty-third US President Harry Truman called it the greatest
[00:11:16] thing in history. He uttered this phrase on board the cruiser Augusta,
[00:11:19] returning from the Potsdam Conference. Since then, no American
[00:11:22] leader has even hinted at remorse or
[00:11:25] regret, and the current forty-seventh US President Donald Trump, when
[00:11:29] he visited Japan last year, even called the bombing of Japanese
[00:11:32] cities a minor conflict, after which the United States and
[00:11:35] Japan became the closest friends. A year after
[00:11:39] the war, on Christmas 1946, Americans even held a football
[00:11:42] tournament among the ruins of burned Nagasaki, to, as the
[00:11:46] command explained, let off steam and show the glory of American sports,
[00:11:50] and at the same time held a beauty contest called Miss Atomic
[00:11:54] Bomb. All speeches by Japanese officials at memorial
[00:11:57] ceremonies are united by a delicate silence about
[00:12:00] who actually destroyed the civilian population of Japanese cities
[00:12:04] with nuclear explosions. Having occupied the Japanese islands in September
[00:12:08] 1945, American troops remain on their bases
[00:12:11] in Japan to this day. Japan itself is now officially under
[00:12:15] the protection of the US nuclear umbrella. And the tragedy
[00:12:18] of August 1945 is called a mistake. This
[00:12:21] is written on the memorial stone. I interpret
[00:12:24] this as an appeal to humanity, America dropped
[00:12:27] atomic bombs on Japan, but Japan also bears
[00:12:31] responsibility for the war that broke out then, meaning
[00:12:35] that this whole situation was a common mistake. In the US,
[00:12:38] such a point of view is not shared at the official level, B-29
[00:12:41] crew commander Paul Tibbets, who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima,
[00:12:45] in all interviews until the end of his days emphasized that he was proud
[00:12:48] of his participation in this
[00:12:49] tragedy.
[00:12:55] In 3 days, a similar memorial ceremony will be held in Nagasaki, the authorities
[00:12:58] of this city have again started inviting Russia since last
[00:13:01] year, so among the foreign guests, the Russian ambassador
[00:13:05] is also expected. Sergey Mengazhev, Alexey Pichko, East Asian Bureau of News,
[00:13:09] Hiroshima, Japan.
[00:13:12] The CIA formed a special task force to change the government
[00:13:15] in Cuba. According to the New York Times, the unit will be engaged in
[00:13:19] pressuring the local government and promoting political
[00:13:22] and economic changes favorable to Washington. According
[00:13:26] to the media, the new structure will allow promptly sending additional
[00:13:29] financial, human, and technical resources to the island. The
[00:13:33] group includes specialists in recruiting agents, analysts, as
[00:13:37] well as experts in cyber operations and information
[00:13:40] influence.
[00:13:42] Almost half of all housing in Russia is being built using information
[00:13:46] modeling. Artificial intelligence is actively used
[00:13:49] in the industry. How new technologies are changing design and construction,
[00:13:53] what developments does business offer, and what is the state's
[00:13:57] support, Marina Gromova will tell about this in the program "There is a solution," right after
[00:14:00] the commercial.

[00:17:55] The voice of Russia in the noise of rain, in the
[00:17:58] rustle of grass, in the boundless
[00:18:01] expanse,
[00:18:04] in the clatter of wheels, in the gentle whisper of the sea.

[00:18:15] of victory, the voice of the homeland in
[00:18:19] love without embellishment,
[00:18:22] the voice of Russia, I love you, each of
[00:18:25] us, your voice, the strength
[00:18:29] of Russia, unified voting
[00:18:32] day.
[00:18:53] Home still starts with a brick, but modern
[00:18:56] construction is no longer just about mortar
[00:18:58] and trowel.
[00:19:02] Today, the foundation of quality is also laid by digital
[00:19:05] technologies, they help to calculate every stage of work, to make construction
[00:19:09] more accurate, more reliable
[00:19:10] and
[00:19:17] speed up all processes. What digital solutions for
[00:19:20] construction are offered by the state and business we will tell in this
[00:19:24] issue.
[00:19:29] Look at the model from above, what it should be like inside,
[00:19:32] like the game Sims, right? Well, it's very similar,
[00:19:36] only... given that this is a real model with physical
[00:19:39] properties.
[00:19:43] In any construction, there is no room for error, but
[00:19:46] specifically on such objects, at
[00:19:48] heights, in a super crowded construction
[00:19:51] site, there simply isn't any. Therefore, it is
[00:19:54] impossible to work with paper
[00:19:56] drawings here.
[00:20:03] We have almost completely switched to digital design.
[00:20:06] Digital approvals, all
[00:20:09] this accelerates the time to enter the construction
[00:20:12] site itself, the construction object.
[00:20:16] Project companies and developers are gradually switching
[00:20:20] to domestic software, and we, of course, will undoubtedly continue
[00:20:24] to stimulate the implementation of such digital tools,
[00:20:27] of course, we will increase the reliability, safety of construction
[00:20:31] projects, well, as a result, reduce costs for
[00:20:33] businesses.
[00:20:37] Since 2020, Russia has built over 600 million square meters of housing,
[00:20:41] currently, about 200 million square meters
[00:20:45] are being built in different regions, almost half of which are being built using
[00:20:48] information modeling technologies and...
[00:20:50] since 2022, the share of developers who use them
[00:20:54] has grown from 14 to
[00:20:55] 49%.
[00:21:02] This company specializes in the construction of unique and technically
[00:21:05] complex buildings, this is undoubtedly one of them. We caught the construction at the foundation
[00:21:09] stage, in the future there will be 92 floors, a new
[00:21:13] business tower in the Moscow City quarter. This is the most
[00:21:16] complex construction, when we build almost
[00:21:20] on our own, there are so many nuances and details that the human brain
[00:21:24] simply no longer tracks them on drawings, an
[00:21:27] electronic system for identifying clashes is needed, what are clashes,
[00:21:30] when one system conflicts with another, when
[00:21:34] a ventilation duct passes through - for example, some
[00:21:38] structural element, which is unacceptable, therefore, all
[00:21:41] this is now combined into a digital model, in Russia it is called
[00:21:44] TIM, it is called a digital model at the construction stage,
[00:21:47] after the building is put into operation, it becomes... a digital twin,
[00:21:51] where all data about the object, sensors, condition of communication
[00:21:54] engineering systems are displayed, the effect of introducing such a platform
[00:21:57] is measured in tens of millions of rubles of unhappened
[00:22:01] problems, it is difficult to calculate, we are making our own
[00:22:04] management platform, a so-called common data
[00:22:08] environment, where all contractors, suppliers, the customer,
[00:22:11] we, regulatory bodies can see in real
[00:22:15] time what is happening on the project,
[00:22:18] this is great, this... makes construction transparent,
[00:22:22] it makes construction manageable, it makes
[00:22:25] construction predictable, within the company they created
[00:22:27] an IT department, hired programmers,
[00:22:30] methodologists, made their own solution, called
[00:22:33] Signal.
[00:22:41] My favorite number for client savings is when
[00:22:44] a client replaced a 20 million ruble system with ours for
[00:22:48] three. Signal is a whole collection of domestic digital services created
[00:22:52] for contractors, design organizations, control services, in
[00:22:55] general, for everyone who is in one way or another connected with construction. The development
[00:22:59] of the software product began with a team of four people in
[00:23:02] 2019. Initially, we developed our product as
[00:23:05] an add-on for foreign platforms. Then, when this platform
[00:23:09] left the Russian market in 2022, we saw that a niche had opened
[00:23:13] up. In 2023-2024, we developed our solution, and
[00:23:16] since 2024, we have started actively selling our Signal modules.
[00:23:20] This is a common data environment that functions as a repository for construction
[00:23:24] documentation, drawings, documents can be edited, signed with an electronic
[00:23:27] signature in a matter of seconds and transferred to construction. We now have
[00:23:31] the ability to check digital information models for clashes, that one section
[00:23:35] aligns with another, that openings are provided in the correct places, less
[00:23:38] drilling is required, less rework,
[00:23:41] and this also affects construction
[00:23:43] time. And here are just some of the problems that
[00:23:47] the system solves: outdated documentation,
[00:23:50] it is updated in real time, and all changes can
[00:23:54] be tracked. The gap between the project and the site, photos and comments
[00:23:58] are linked to the plan. Disputes about volumes of payment,
[00:24:01] literally every step is recorded: what, by whom, and when
[00:24:04] it was done. Today, Signal has 295 client companies, over 5,000
[00:24:08] daily users. The main goal is to create a system that will be
[00:24:12] convenient for builders, and then for this system
[00:24:15] to become like a task manager for
[00:24:18] robots, so that people specify tasks for construction equipment
[00:24:22] automated for robots that will perform tasks, but
[00:24:25] in the future, people just specify on the construction site, the place where they
[00:24:29] want to get a house, and robots with agents -
[00:24:33] build this house themselves. Signal is included in the register of domestic software
[00:24:37] created by the Ministry of Digital Development, it has more than 32,000
[00:24:40] products, the register confirms the Russian origin of the software, gives
[00:24:44] priority in public procurement and opens access to support
[00:24:47] measures, including under the national project: Data
[00:24:50] Economy. Since 2022, the number of software products for
[00:24:54] the construction complex in the register has grown by more than eight times, today there are
[00:24:57] over
[00:24:58] 400 of them.
[00:25:02] How can we assess the level of digitalization of the construction industry today, what
[00:25:06] areas are particularly developing? Digital technology on the construction
[00:25:09] site today ensures both quality and speed,
[00:25:13] and most importantly, the interaction of all participants in the construction
[00:25:16] process. Work always begins with
[00:25:19] engineers. Of course, these are primarily designers, this is
[00:25:22] object visualization, so that at the design
[00:25:25] stage we can ensure that the object turns out exactly as
[00:25:29] we saw it in the
[00:25:30] picture.
[00:25:38] The Central Moscow Hippodrome, the oldest in Russia, for almost 2
[00:25:42] centuries records were set here, the best trotters of the country were tested.
[00:25:46] The hippodrome has seen thousands of starts. 2 years ago
[00:25:49] began. One of the most important tasks is not to break the speed record,
[00:25:53] but to preserve history. And not only restorers and builders
[00:25:57] help with this, but also digital
[00:25:58] technologies.
[00:26:03] This model is currently running in our core software, water,
[00:26:06] heating, all circuits, plumbers can work, they will look at
[00:26:10] this drawing. The group of companies has developed more than a dozen
[00:26:13] digital products for the construction industry, the flagship solution is
[00:26:17] an ecosystem for automating construction processes. Currently,
[00:26:20] it has about 6,000 objects that are being built right now, including
[00:26:24] the Central Moscow Hippodrome. Have you already mentally
[00:26:28] promised yourself that you will definitely return here without
[00:26:30] a fairy tale? So I promised, I promised not only to come
[00:26:34] out with my family, I'll have to buy my wife a new hat, right?
[00:26:38] Probably so, you are absolutely right, and meanwhile, the restoration
[00:26:41] of the historic hippodrome building and the construction of new
[00:26:44] facilities on its territory, modern stables, riding arenas, and an equestrian
[00:26:48] sports complex, are in full swing. If we compare how it was before and how it is now with
[00:26:52] new technologies, what has changed? The customer has often started
[00:26:55] to demand a significant reduction in deadlines, but maintaining
[00:26:59] quality, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness, the approach has changed.
[00:27:09] At one of this company's facilities, the campus in Nizhny Novgorod, smart machines
[00:27:13] laid tiles, plastered and painted walls. This gives
[00:27:17] us the opportunity to reduce the consumption of the materials used. Often
[00:27:20] people don't just not appreciate, they can correctly select the composition, the quantity,
[00:27:24] there will be about 20% of excess consumption, robots exclude
[00:27:27] this process, they need to be taught, they don't just come out and dig everything up, they need
[00:27:31] to be programmed completely. Correct, for this there are special operators, it is with the help
[00:27:35] of the digital model that we created before, that they implement,
[00:27:38] upload the software, give coordinates in which this robot
[00:27:41] must interact with the wall or the floor, and the quality of laying,
[00:27:45] you know, the quality of laying has been
[00:27:47] excellent so far.
[00:27:54] Technologies and the regulatory framework are constantly being updated, less
[00:27:58] time is spent on designing and constructing facilities,
[00:28:00] since 2020, the average duration of the investment and construction
[00:28:04] cycle has decreased by more than one and a half times and now it takes
[00:28:08] 1,250 days. documents now require twice
[00:28:11] fewer, 550, the number of administrative procedures has decreased
[00:28:15] almost threefold to
[00:28:16] 32.
[00:28:19] From 2024, in order to shorten the investment and construction cycle,
[00:28:23] all procedures are in the information system Stroykompleks
[00:28:26] RF, so additional requirements can no longer
[00:28:30] be implemented by regions and municipalities. And all this
[00:28:33] shortens procedures, an object that has received a construction permit
[00:28:37] is already visible in the system, its dynamics -
[00:28:40] construction, all this allows for
[00:28:43] analysis, for this purpose, artificial intelligence appears, which
[00:28:46] allows for faster analysis of
[00:28:49] what is happening. In general, they are also actively implementing
[00:28:53] artificial, that is, artificial intelligence is the demand of the times
[00:28:56] large companies are working in this direction, the restoration of the hippodrome
[00:29:00] and the construction of new facilities are also carried out using artificial
[00:29:04] intelligence, the most important thing in our current systems, when we create
[00:29:08] an agent, an assistant for managers in decision-making,
[00:29:11] previously, to collect information on an object, even taking into account information systems, it
[00:29:15] required a certain number of clicks and everything else, now he can simply write
[00:29:19] in one line, in plain text, tell me if there are delays on my
[00:29:22] objects in terms of construction time, and the
[00:29:26] agent will immediately give him all the information, and artificial intelligence also helps in working with
[00:29:30] clients, identifies violations by... Now
[00:29:33] artificial intelligence plus digitalization - this is somewhere up to 20%
[00:29:37] acceleration of construction and somewhere up to 15% cost reduction.
[00:29:41] On different objects, this plays out differently, we had a lot of pilots where we showed
[00:29:45] how much money is saved if everything is done digitally, in terms of
[00:29:49] speed.
[00:29:54] Many developers are developing their own solutions from scratch, but from
[00:29:58] this year, a marketplace of digital solutions is available to all market participants.
[00:30:01] Currently, there are 230 digital solutions,
[00:30:05] a quarter of which are solutions with artificial intelligence, we do this so that
[00:30:08] each developer does not reinvent the wheel, so that they
[00:30:12] can see what solutions already exist, what solutions are popular
[00:30:15] and what effects they give. Developers can get
[00:30:19] information for creating their projects using artificial
[00:30:22] intelligence from the industry data platform. We literally launched
[00:30:26] the industry data platform last year. This is a task that we are solving as part of
[00:30:30] the national project Infrastructure for Life. To collect
[00:30:33] the maximum number of datasets so that developers
[00:30:36] of artificial intelligence solutions can train their models on this data,
[00:30:40] because the task of obtaining data
[00:30:43] is one of the most difficult.
[00:30:46] The future always begins with a small step
[00:30:49] or
[00:30:53] a small skyscraper. Today, digital solutions allow
[00:30:57] the creation of accurate building models literally in.
