New Moscow-made machines and turnstiles are being launched in the Moscow metro.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

The Moscow Metro has begun a large-scale modernization of its ticketing infrastructure. The first new-generation ticket information terminal (TITPB) has already been installed at Nizhegorodskaya station, and modern turnstiles have been installed. By the end of 2025, these devices will be installed at five more stations, and by 2026, 450 new Moscow-made terminals will be installed throughout the metro.

The new ITPBs offer twice the speed of passenger service thanks to modern software and hardware. The devices feature an ergonomic, compact design, a user-friendly interface, and support for the latest banking data security technologies. In addition to purchasing and topping up tickets, including the Troika card, passengers will be able to plan routes directly on the metro's touchscreen map.

Simultaneously, new turnstiles were launched—they are 20% faster than their predecessors and allow for a 40% increase in station capacity. The equipment supports all modern payment methods: from traditional tickets to the virtual Troika card, the Fast Payment System, and biometric identification. Colored backlighting and vibration feedback promptly inform users of the transaction result.

In December 2025, five new ticket information terminals will be installed at Kuntsevskaya station on the Big Circle Line, as well as VDNKh and Medvedkovo stations on the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line. This will be the next stage in the upgrade of Moscow's public transportation ticketing infrastructure.

In 2026, new turnstiles will appear at 25 stations, and by the end of 2031, more than 4,500 units of such equipment will be installed in the metro, on the Moscow Central Circle (MCC), and the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) lines.

"The first terminal is already operational at the Nizhegorodskaya station transfer hub. Five more devices will be installed at metro stations by the end of 2025. The machines will be equipped with innovative technology that can handle the increased speed of payment transactions. This will double the speed of passenger service. In line with Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we will continue to implement the world's best digital technologies into the ticketing system," noted Maxim Liksutov.

Washington, December 23 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump announced on Monday the construction of two new Trump-class battleships for the US Navy. He said these warships will be "the fastest, largest, and 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built."

At a press conference with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Navy Secretary John Phelan, Trump announced that he had approved a plan for the Navy to build two of the largest battleships ever built by the United States. Eight more will be built soon after, for a total of 20-25 battleships.

D. Trump stated that new warships with a displacement of 30-40 thousand tons will be equipped with hypersonic weapons, railguns, cruise missiles and laser weapons and will become the flagships of the US Navy.

J. Phelan said the Trump-class battleship will be the largest, deadliest, most versatile and most beautiful warship in the world.

That same day, the US Department of Defense released a statement saying the new type of warship is currently in the design phase, with the first new battleship scheduled for completion in the early 2030s. –0–

Bogota, December 23 (Xinhua) — The Colombian government on Monday issued a decree declaring a state of economic and social emergency in the country for 30 days, local media reported.

According to reports, the move is aimed at overcoming the difficult situation the country is going through and taking the necessary measures to contain the spread of the crisis.

Media analysis shows that the direct cause of the state of emergency was the government's proposed tax reform bill, which was rejected by Congress on December 9, leaving Colombia's 2026 national budget facing a budget deficit of approximately 16 trillion Colombian pesos (approximately US$4.2 billion).

The decree states that after declaring a state of emergency, the government may issue legally binding decrees to address the crisis and prevent its spread. It may also temporarily introduce new taxes or amend existing ones.

BEIJING, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Housing, Urban-Rural Development vowed to stabilize the property market by unveiling a package of city-specific measures to reduce inventory and optimize supply.

Key measures include adjusting new supply to local conditions, activating existing land resources, improving the provision of state-subsidized housing, and more active support for the reasonable financial needs of real estate developers, according to Ni Hong, Minister of Housing, Urban-Rural Development, at an industry meeting in Beijing.

He stated that municipal authorities should make full use of their autonomy in regulating the real estate market, adjusting and optimizing real estate policies as necessary to support residents' basic and growing housing needs, thereby promoting the stable functioning of the real estate market.

Regarding housing sales, Ni Hong emphasized the need to promote the sale of completed new housing to reduce the risks of delivery of properties and strengthen control over down payments in pre-sale real estate projects.

The Ministry will also improve the housing savings fund system and take measures to improve real estate services. -0-

DJI expressed disappointment over the US decision to block domestic sales permits for foreign drones.

SHENZHEN, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) — Chinese drone giant DJI expressed disappointment on Tuesday over the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) decision to add foreign-made drones to a list of banned products.

Updated Monday, the "Blocked List" identifies communications equipment and services that the FCC believes pose an unacceptable risk to U.S. national security or the safety of U.S. citizens.

Inclusion on this list means that new foreign-made drone models and critical components are prohibited from obtaining FCC approval, effectively banning their import and sale in the country, the FCC noted.

DJI's statement said that while DJI was not singled out, no information about the data used by the executive branch to make that decision was made public.

The company noted that its products are among the safest and most reliable on the market, citing years of testing by U.S. government agencies and independent third parties.

Concerns about DJI's data security are not factually based and reflect protectionism that runs counter to open market principles, the company said.

This amendment follows a defense bill passed by the US Congress a year ago that highlighted the national security risks posed by Chinese drones. Under this bill, DJI and another Chinese drone manufacturer, Autel, were threatened with a ban on selling new models in the US if a safety assessment found them to pose a threat.

This measure does not apply to previously purchased drones. Consumers can continue to use any drones they have already legally purchased or received, the FCC noted.

BEIJING, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) — Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) has imported live king crabs worth more than 100 million yuan (about 14.23 million U.S. dollars) since the beginning of 2025 as of Dec. 22, China Central Television reported, citing data from the local Jimunai port.

The Jimunai checkpoint, located in the Jimunai county of Altay Prefecture in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, at the junction of the borders of China, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Mongolia, is the only border crossing in Xinjiang through which live king crabs are imported. The first import of such products took place in October 2024.

After customs clearance, some of the imported crabs will be immediately delivered to the market, while others will be transferred to a special temporary breeding pond at the checkpoint. The pond simulates the natural aquatic environment of the Arctic Ocean, and the water temperature is maintained between 0 and 1 degree Celsius to ensure the crabs maintain maximum viability and can be shipped to the domestic market at any time according to orders.

Currently, king crabs imported through the Jimunai Port are quickly delivered to major consumer markets in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, through an efficient cold chain logistics system. -0-

The Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank will warn 3 million drivers in Transbaikalia about the endangered gazelles on the road.

At least 3 million motorists will be warned annually about the dangers of hitting rare Mongolian gazelles thanks to new information boards installed along highways in Transbaikalia. The project to preserve the population of this endangered animal was implemented by the Ecology Foundation and the Daurian Nature Reserve.

The initiative aims to inform drivers about the need to slow down in areas where Mongolian antelopes migrate seasonally. Winter is a special time in the region, when the local population of Mongolian dzerens is joined by their relatives from Mongolia, forming large herds along the roads.

Six banners have been placed along the Byrka-Aksha and Borzya-Solovyovsk highways, in areas where animals cross the roads en masse. Given the high traffic volume (up to 10,000 vehicles per day), the stands will serve as a major tool for prevention and environmental education.

"The return of Mongolian gazelles to Russia after a long absence is a major conservation achievement. Projects like these highlight the importance of maintaining the delicate balance between infrastructure development and wildlife. We are pleased to support the Daursky Nature Reserve in this important work and hope that this project will help preserve this unique population for future generations," comments Elmira Morozova, Director of the Ecology Foundation at the Russian Agricultural Bank.

Since 2021, the Fund, established by Rosselkhozbank, has been implementing long-term programs in several key areas: forest restoration, biodiversity conservation, waste recycling, environmental education, and scientific research. Over the past four years, the Ecology Fund has implemented 72 environmental initiatives. The total funding raised for these projects has reached approximately 128.9 million rubles.
