Weatherwatch: landlocked Mongolia's distinctive climate www.theguardian.com

As the second largest landlocked country in the world after Kazakhstan, Mongolia has a very distinctive climate. Just like neighbouring areas such as southern Russia to the north and northern China to the south, Mongolia’s climate is characterised as continental, as opposed to the maritime climate of locations closer to the sea or ocean.
In practice, this means long and very cold winters, with average temperatures in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, staying well below freezing from November through to March, and reaching lows of almost -50C. In contrast, summer temperatures are in the low 20s, and can reach peaks of 36C.
Precipitation in the capital is almost nonexistent in winter, with virtually no snow. In the summer months, from June onwards, there is a small amount of rainfall, but the annual total here is just 200mm (less than 8ins).
Most of the country is covered with desert plains (in the south) and steppe grasslands (in the north and east, where there is a slightly higher rainfall). But in the west and north, mountain ranges rise to over 3,000 metres (roughly 10,000ft). The peaks are often covered with a light dusting of snow, and occasionally there is a heavier fall.

The Mongolian talent trains every day at least two-times to reach the top level of the Asian boxers in the near future. Her elder brothers are also boxers and have got good potential in our sport.
Her coach is Mr. Yerkin Jamantai who reached several strong results as a boxer in the international stage besides to his national titles in Mongolia. Lham Tsendbaatar claimed the gold medal in the recent two editions of the Mongolian Kids National Championships where she dominated all of her contests against mostly older rivals.

The Mongolian girl can join to the international schoolgirls events in 2021 and her first goal is the annual opening edition of the ASBC Asian Schoolgirls Boxing Championships. Lham Tsendbaatar could be Mongolia’s weapon at the 2026 Youth Olympic Games which is her main long-term target in our sport.

Oscars: Mongolia Selects 'Veins of the World' for International Feature Category www.hollywoodreporter.com

Mongolia has picked the drama Veins of the World from director Byambasuren Davaa as its official entry for the 2021 Academy Awards in the best international feature category.
The film follows Amra, an 11-year-old boy living a traditional nomad life on the Mongolian steppe who sees his way of life threatened by the encroachment of international mining companies, who are devastating the natural habitat in their search for gold. Amra's father Erdene is the leader of the last nomads opposing them. When he dies, his son decides to take up the fight.
Veins of the World premiered at the Berlin Film Festival last year. Telepool's Global Screen is handling international sales. The Mongolian title is a late entry into the Oscar race. Academy members will vote Feb. 1-5 on the 2021 shortlist, which this year will include 15 international features.
But Davaa is no stranger to the Oscars. Her debut, The Story of the Weeping Camel, was nominated in the best documentary feature category in 2005. She also won acclaim for The Cave of the Yellow Dog and Two Horses of Genghis Khan, two other documentaries set among Mongolian nomad communities. Veins of the World is her feature film debut.
Commenting on the film's Oscar submission by Mongolia, Davaa noted that the environmental issues raised by Veins of the World "have long become a global issue, not just a local one."
After its Berlin debut, Veins of the World was picked up by several international distributors, including Les Films du Preau in France, Surtsey Films in Spain and Angel Films for Scandinavia. Pandora Film will release the movie in German later this year.
The nominations for the 93rd Academy Awards will be announced on March 15. The 2021 Oscar ceremony is scheduled for April 25.

Assessment of gas trunkline across Mongolia advance www.ogj.com

Gazoprovod Soyuz Vostok has been registered in Mongolia as part of an August 2020 memorandum of intent between Gazprom and the government of Mongolia to set up a special purpose vehicle to perform design and survey works and conduct a feasibility study regarding construction of a gas trunkline to supply Russian gas across Mongolia to China.
“With the Soyuz Vostok gas pipeline, Russia's Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline will extend through Mongolia, and its export capacity might become more than 1.3 times higher than that of Power of Siberia. This will allow us to export large amounts of gas from Western Siberia not only westward but also eastward,” said Alexey Miller, Gazprom’s management chairman, deputy chairman of the board.
The memorandum of intent followed a December 2019 memorandum of understanding providing for a joint assessment of the feasibility of the project for pipeline gas supplies from Russia to China across Mongolia (OGJ Online, Dec. 6, 2019).
