In an interview with RT, Maxim Liksutov discussed the development of driverless transport in the capital.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

The main points from the conversation:

Russia's first driverless tram has already traveled over 10,000 km along the capital's streets without a single traffic violation. It operates with the utmost safety thanks to a unique set of equipment in the global transportation industry.

The driverless system was developed entirely by Moscow Metro employees. The Moscow Government owns the technology.

Following the completion of testing of the driverless tram, Moscow is ready to share this unique development with other regions of Russia.

The launch of the driverless tram has provided a solid foundation for expanding the project. We plan to integrate the technology into other modes of transport, which requires significant preparation.

By the end of next year, a driverless metro train capable of operating at 90-second intervals will be ready. Then, we'll begin conducting test rides with passengers.

Specialists have already begun developing software for driverless electric buses in Moscow. However, driverless rail transport remains the priority.

By 2035, 90% of Moscow's trams will be driverless. The groundwork has been laid, thanks to the creation of an intelligent, high-tech transportation system in Moscow.

Order No. 2524-r of September 12, 2025

In 2025, half a billion rubles will be allocated to subsidize loans for construction companies building housing in small towns. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the corresponding order.

This applies to developers working under the project-based financing mechanism for housing construction. Federal funds will provide them with preferential loans at a 12% annual interest rate. To qualify, they must have a project for the construction of new housing in cities or towns with a population of up to 100,000, and use escrow accounts to attract funds from equity holders. DOM.RF, a public joint-stock company, has been designated as the program operator.

In 2025, companies constructing 390,000 square meters of housing, scheduled for completion in 2026, will be able to take advantage of preferential loans. Additionally, an additional 1.1 billion rubles are planned to be allocated to subsidize loans for construction companies in 2026 and 2027.

Ankara, September 18 (Xinhua) — Turkish Gendarmerie has detained 51 people suspected of links to the Islamic State (IS) group during a major counterterrorism operation over the past two weeks, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced on Thursday.

The suspects are accused of ISIS membership, financing so-called aid organizations linked to the group, and spreading terrorist propaganda on social media, A. Yerlikaya stated on the X social media platform, adding that the operations were carried out in 34 provinces.

According to him, several organizational documents and digital materials were seized during the raids.

“We continue our operations day and night, 365 days a year, to ensure peace and stability in every region of our country,” the minister said.

In 2013, Turkey designated ISIS a terrorist organization, blaming it for a series of deadly attacks in the country. Since then, Ankara has been conducting counterterrorism operations aimed at combating ISIS members and their activities both domestically and internationally.

BEIJING, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) — The northern branch of the Palace Museum (Former Imperial Palace Museum) is expected to open by the end of 2026, a Beijing Youth Daily correspondent learned from the Haidian branch of the Beijing Municipal Planning and Resources Commission on Wednesday.

According to a statement, the main structure of the Palace Museum's northern branch project has already been completed. Interior finishing work has officially begun. This branch is located in northeastern Beijing, in the Haidian district. This district is also home to the former imperial parks of Yiheyuan and Yuanmingyuan.

The branch's total area is 102,000 square meters and will include 12 high-tech exhibition halls, including a department for the protection and restoration of cultural relics, an exhibition hall, a palace gardening center, a hall of intangible cultural heritage, and more. The northern branch will annually display between 20,000 and 30,000 exhibits, which is approximately two to three times more than the Palace Museum itself, which is located in the heart of the Chinese capital.

Currently, due to a lack of exhibition space, many historical relics at the Palace Museum, including massive furniture, carpets, and paintings, are gathering dust in warehouses, and many exhibits cannot be restored in a timely manner.

The design for the northern branch of the Palace Museum is based on cutting-edge technologies and green building concepts. Once completed, it will be a modern space for preserving cultural relics. The new branch will free up, restore, and protect the existing interior space of the Palace Museum, while effectively addressing the challenges of preserving valuable historical artifacts.
