In Vologda, due to heavy rains, the streets were flooded. Heavy downpours began on the evening of August 10, a third of the monthly norm of precipitation fell overnight.The section of the road from Leningradskaya Street from Petin to Goncharnaya suffered the most, in some places the depth of puddles reached 60 centimeters. Municipal services are removing fallen trees and eliminating flooding on the streets. Nine teams of electricians solve problems with electricity supply. More than 400 consumers were disconnected. Power supply has been restored in most buildings.
On August 11, a press conference was held at the publishing house “Arguments and Facts”, at which representatives of the All-Russian Society for Nature Protection (VOOP), the ID “AIF”, the Federal Forestry Agency (Rosleskhoz) and a team of UN agencies in Russia announced the launch and support of the project “Green Nurseries of Russia” for the restoration of burning forests.
“The present and future of the planet Earth depends on each of us. We must take care of nature and the environment in order to pass on the wealth of Russia to our children and grandchildren. What is happening with Russian forests today is unacceptable. It will take enormous efforts to restore what was lost. This should be a systematic work, we need a mechanism for forest restoration, ” said in his speechVyacheslav Fetisov, Chairman of the EPO, UN Goodwill Ambassador, Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Currently, there are not enough nurseries in the country, nor their capacities for growing seedlings on an industrial scale. In this regard, the All-Russian Society for Nature Protection takes the initiative to create green nurseries in the regions of Russia on the basis of a public-private partnership.
“Images are already being published from space, where the smoke extends from the North Pole to Lake Baikal. Therefore, we could not but support the proposal of the All-Russian Society for the creation of green nurseries, ” noted in his speechAdviser to the General Director of JSC “AIF”, head of the information part of the project “Ecology of Russia” Nikolay Tereshchenko. Since 2017, our publishing house has implemented several hundred information projects on ecology: on garbage reform, and rescued killer whales in the Far East, and participated in the action “Garden of Memory” last year and this year, and many others. And in the last two years, we have already acted not only as an environmental mouthpiece, but also as an organizer of projects. Just a couple of weeks ago, we completed the “Green Yard” project with the Greenway company, we planted trees and flower beds in courtyards in 10 cities of Russia from Irkutsk to Makhachkala. Right now, together with the authorities and business of the Tyumen regionWe are engaged in a project to restore the ecosystem of a unique Salt lake in the Berdyuzhsky district. In the project “Green Nurseries of Russia”, our regional editorial offices will accept initial applications from nature reserves, nature reserves and forestry, voice them publicly, and then transfer them to the VOOP for examination and preparation for further actions. And, of course, we will exercise information control over the implementation of the project and contribute as much as possible to its promotion at all levels.
Deputy Head of the Federal Forestry Agency Alexander Panfilov He noted that the creation of green nurseries in the regions of Russia will contribute to the implementation of the national project “Ecology”. Today, nurseries can meet the needs of 700 million units of planting material per year. The task for 2024 is 900 million units. But clearly more is needed. “Therefore, the creation of new green nurseries and the restoration of existing ones is a timely step,” the speaker noted.
Vladimir Kuznetsov, Director of the UN Information Center in Moscow, Chairman of the team of UN agencies in Russia He called the proposal of the EPO consonant with the UN climate agenda: “It is difficult to overestimate the work of the All-Russian Society for Nature Protection on international platforms. Public participation in reforestation is very important. There is a long way ahead, and our UN team in Russia is ready to contribute in every possible way to the initiatives announced today by Vyacheslav Fetisov.
Continuing the topic of the press conference, Vyacheslav Fetisov invited all interested persons, public organizations and business structures to cooperate within the framework of the project: “I hope for the signing of cooperation agreements, for the unification of structures, of which there are many in the country, but there is no consistency. In the USSR, there was a whole forest branch of the national economy, the status of a forester in the past yearshe was extremely tall. Now we have a lot of problems: there are not enough people and equipment, the powers transferred to the regions are not always confirmed by money, there is no public control. I sincerely believe that it is now necessary to create a Ministry of Forestry in Russia with the powers of law enforcement agencies. Otherwise, we will all burn down: fires are already approaching the cities.
Answering questions from journalists, all participants of the press conference repeatedly stressed the importance of systematic interaction between the government, business, society and the media to solve the large-scale task of forest restoration in Russia. Moreover, as experts noted, for business, participation in such projects will also mean earning additional points in the decarbonization of the economy, which is being talked about at all levels today. In other words, such projects also have a direct business sense on the international economic agenda.

On August 11, a working visit of the Commissioner for Children’s Rights under the President of the Russian Federation took place Anna Kuznetsova in Omsk, during which she stated the need to develop a new approach to assessing the need for providing services to families with children who are in a difficult life situation.
“Even the casual earnings of a minor child are taken into account in the income, and the family cannot receive the required benefits, benefits and payments. We are creating a serious problem-the child understands that there is no need to work, motivation decreases, and the mother may also hinder the child’s earnings. We agreed to apply to the Government of the Russian Federation, directly to the Ministry of Labor for the development of more flexible criteria for assessing the need of families who have fallen into a difficult life situation, ” she explained.
A federal resource center is needed
The second proposal came from parents of children with special needs and orphan diseases. In their opinion, it is necessary to create a federal resource center.
“The demand for it is high, especially in the regions. We need specialists at the federal level who will become navigators for timely assistance to the child, without leaving mothers with such children alone with this situation, ” the children’s Ombudsman said.
Anna Kuznetsova stressed that earlier the people’s program of “United Russia” included initiatives related to the support of families with children, in particular, the provision of additional leave for parents who go with their children to rehabilitation, as well as support for grandparents who take care of children.
“Realizing that we were accurate with one block of proposals, we always find new ones that are needed today. I would like them to be included in the program either in a specific (narrow) formulation, or included in more serious formulations that would characterize the problem as a whole. This task is important. But it is even more important to achieve their implementation, ” she noted.
Also, following the results of the visit to Omsk, Anna Kuznetsova noted the need to change the principles of the system of guardianship and guardianship bodies.
“We have checked various institutions and identified a range of problems that are pushing for this solution. I am glad that a decision has been made in the region to create a working group on the reform of guardianship and guardianship authorities. It is necessary to preserve the family as much as possible. This is not a task of monitoring, but of supporting and accompanying those families who find themselves in a difficult situation, ” the Commissioner for Children’s Rights stressed.
The system of providing housing for orphaned children also requires changes.
“We are seeking the adoption of a state program for the construction of housing for them. This is a fundamentally important task that needs to be solved. It is relevant for the Omsk region and many regions of Russia. We discussed the need for transparent monitoring of the queue movement by orphans, there is also such a request. We will contactThe Ministry of Finance wants to make it possible for orphaned children to watch how the queue moves at Public Services, ” she concluded.
Children’s Ombudsman Anna Kuznetsova is on a working trip to Omsk on August 11.
Earlier, at the Congress of “United Russia”, at the suggestion of the President, Anna Kuznetsova entered the top five of the party’s list.

Recently, neither the residents of Mitin nor Krasnogorsk can sleep at night. The reason is a terrible hum from planes taking off from Sheremetyevo. Isn’t this a direct violation of the law?
The story of complaints about noise from the airport has been on the news agenda since the beginning of summer. Representatives of Sheremetyevo assure that the discontent appeared because over the past year people have become unaccustomed to the hum of airplanes. But this is not the case: the problem arose even before the restriction of flights due to the coronavirus.
& laquo;It all started in 2019, when the airport changed the flight plans», — confirmed & laquo;AIF» a resident of the village of Aristovo near Moscow Tatiana Sopova. “We are residents of the Krasnogorsky and Solnechnogorsky districts of the Moscow region. Our settlements and densely populated residential areas have existed for many years. Many & mdash; since the early 1950s, when the Sheremetyevo airport was not even built. But even when it appeared, all flights were carried out to the north, bypassing us. Since March 2019, they have started flying over us, “the activists’ open letter says. & mdash; By ushundreds of requests and appeals have been written, a petition has been created for change.org with 8 thousand signatures, residents participated in meetings with the participation of the ATM, the Ministry of Transport, the Federal Air Transport Agency, Sheremetyevo, and spoke in the State Duma. Rospotrebnadzor has repeatedly confirmed the excess of noise standards. Many residents have already had health problems due to constant lack of sleep. Return the old flight plans! Give us back the silence!»
Muscovites are also asking for the same thing — the Rosaviation website notes that appeals on this topic have been constantly received since 2019: «In connection with the change in the traffic pattern of aircraft near the Sheremetyevo airport“residents of the Mitino and Severnoye Tushino districts complain about aviation noise». Residents of Khimki, Skhodni and Lobni also sleep poorly.
The State Corporation for the Organization of Air Traffic in the Russian Federation, meanwhile, claims that the old aircraft traffic patterns do not allow the simultaneous use of different runways at Sheremetyevo. From the Federal Air Transport Agency, citizens receive the same type of answers — & laquo;flights are carried out in strict accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation», & laquo;the airspace above yourthe locality is not a no-fly zone, ” from 23.00 to 6.00 restrictions have been introduced for certain types of aircraft.”
But in the Moscow region department of Rospotrebnadzor, in response to kilograms of complaints, they admitted that the aviation authorities did not take real measures to reduce the noise from aircraft. Therefore, the agency appealed to the prosecutor’s office with a request to correct the situation.

Have you received an alert about a lottery win, an unexpected prize or a gift? Do not rush to rejoice, advises Timofey Bazhenov. And calls for extreme vigilance when receiving any messages on the network.
“Another fraudulent scheme has spread on the Internet. The attackers send out offers to participate in the prize draw. If a person takes the bait and follows the link, he will get to a fraudulent website with a message about the prize fund, for example, in 100 thousand dollars. Next, a potential victim using a messengerthey report winning a tempting prize, which is up to 10 thousand dollars. After & bdquo;winning“ the victim is offered to convert dollars into rubles, since transfers between Russian citizens are prohibited in the currency. For this, it is allegedly required to pay a small commission, ” T. Bazhenov told about the new scheme of cyberbullying.
The consequence of the transfer of the “commission” may be the loss of funds from the bank card. After all, during the transfer process, victims enter confidential information and give fraudsters access to their personal data.
“Meanwhile, there are a lot of legitimate lotteries and prize draws. Of course, the prizes in such contests are much more modest, but there is no need to pay any fees or commissions for participating in lotteries. Only scammers sin with such proposals, ” the TV presenter continues. All organizational costs of legal prize draws are borne by the initiators of the lottery. Even if it is required to convert the currency for crediting the won prize, this is done by the bank automatically.
The journalist shared ways to protect himself from losing funds from the card. To do this, it is necessary to be as critical as possible of any messages on the network and, before responding to an alert, check information about prizes and victories on company websites. Bazhenov warns that you can not click on suspicious links received through messengers, social networks and emails. It is necessary to remain vigilant, even if the links are received from the accounts of friends or relatives. Their accounts can be hacked for fraudulent purposes.
The interest of States in the army and military training of the country’s personnel is growing again. The United Kingdom is a major player on the world stage, so it is useful to know how specialists are trained there for law enforcement agencies. ru & nbsp;I understood what are the features of the military training process in this country. It turned out that the British take an extremely responsible approach to the formation of their power structures, pay attention to both the training of young personnel and the retraining of people who have been serving for a long time.
The road and the air are young
There are two categories of officers in the British Armed Forces-career officers and short-term service officers. The first are trained according to the full program, the second-according to the reduced program, which lasts 6-12 months, depending on the type of armed forces.
In the last decade, the number of short-term courses for career officers has also been increasing. This way it turns out to more effectively maintain the level of training of active officers. On the other hand, this is a consequence of the reduction of the UK military budget and the constant improvement of military equipment and tactics. All officers undergo retraining and advanced training courses at military educational institutions of the armed forces.
Basic training of cadets, where they are instilled with basic military and special skills and knowledge, is carried out at the Sandhurst Military School. Future officers of all branches of the armed forces are trained there for seven months. Cadets study military topography, weapons and armored vehicles, military tactics and strategy, as well as other specialized sciences.
If we are talking about the Air Force, here the only basic military school in which pilot officers are trained is the Cranwell Air Force Aviation College. The recruitment of candidates for it is carried out at the recruitment center of the air force. The selection is carried out by 2 commissions within three days. The first commission is responsible for the areas of “piloting” and “navigation”, the second selects engineers, specialists in technology and navigation.Applicants are checked for their health, physical training, level of education and psychological compliance through special tests.
Higher level
The Royal, Imperial and National Defense Colleges train top-level officers to work in the headquarters of the armed forces and the central leadership of the Ministry of Defense. Also, the current senior management personnel are undergoing retraining in the military-theoretical and military-technical profile at the Shrivenham Military Science College.
In the UK, there are special military reserve formations that also need to be staffed with officers. This problem is solved with the help of special courses of non-military training. For this purpose, non-military primary training is conducted in secondary schools. The next stage is the universities of 19 colleges and universities, which are supervised by special committees of military education.
