[00:00:41] Hello, on Channel One, evening news, with you, Andrey
[00:00:44] Ukharev.
[00:00:47] There is still time to make your choice. For
[00:00:51] the people, for the country, for faith, for
[00:00:54] the future, for your children, for your grandchildren, so that they have
[00:00:57] everything good.
[00:01:34] We destroy bridges and logistical centers
[00:01:37] of the enemy.
[00:01:43] The Russian army launched a massive strike on the enemy's military rear
[00:01:47] and the clearing of the cauldron in Kharkiv
[00:01:49] region continues.
[00:01:52] The fuel crisis is engulfing the West. Prices at European and American
[00:01:56] gas stations are growing like crazy.
[00:02:15] Where fuel riots
[00:02:17] are already flaring up amidst the crisis?
[00:02:21] In anticipation of failure.
[00:02:24] Today the result in the east will most likely be extremely bad,
[00:02:27] possibly the worst in the entire history of the CDU. In
[00:02:30] the ranks of the German Chancellor's party, there is panic, Merz himself
[00:02:34] is not going
[00:02:34] to leave.
[00:02:38] I was elected for 4 years and I want us to use these 4
[00:02:42] years to bring the country out of this difficult
[00:02:45] period. Forecasts predict a record for him with a minus
[00:02:48] sign.
[00:02:51] 5 years for a project that opened the doors of museums, theaters,
[00:02:54] and not only, for schoolchildren and students.
[00:02:58] Quite often. it's very convenient to go to such
[00:03:01] places, events with the class.
[00:03:05] Millions of young people now have
[00:03:08] a Pushkin card.
[00:03:11] So, in Russia, the big election marathon is coming to an end. In
[00:03:15] many regions, from the Far East to the Urals, voting
[00:03:18] has already been completed. At 8:00 PM local time, polling
[00:03:22] stations will close in the central part of the country. Kaliningrad will
[00:03:25] vote until 9:00 PM Moscow time. And only after that will we be able
[00:03:29] to find out the first preliminary results of the elections, but for now we are following
[00:03:33] the turnout, and in a number of regions it is breaking records, and
[00:03:36] throughout the country, as already reported by the Central Election Commission, the
[00:03:40] figures of the past State Duma elections have been exceeded, all data from
[00:03:43] all over Russia flows into the information center of the
[00:03:45] CEC.
[00:03:48] My colleague Anton Vernitsky has been working there all day today, he is on
[00:03:52] live. So, Anton, we are waiting for details, what are the latest turnout
[00:03:55] figures and how is the voting
[00:03:56] generally proceeding?
[00:04:00] Good afternoon, Andrey, in fact, in most of the
[00:04:03] country, voting has not just ended, in the Far East, a new
[00:04:06] day has even begun, in some regions, voting has ended not only in
[00:04:10] the State Duma elections, but local elections have also been completed, so in Tuva, where the difference
[00:04:13] with Moscow is 4 hours, the vote count is continuing
[00:04:17] in the gubernatorial elections, the current governor Vladislav Halyk is leading
[00:04:20] by a large margin, with more than 90% of the votes, the turnout
[00:04:24] there was very high, more than 80%, although only a few
[00:04:27] ballots have been counted, well, in other direct elections.
[00:04:32] Chechnya, as well as Belgorod, Bryansk, Penza, Tver and Ulyanovsk
[00:04:36] regions are still voting. I would add that today the local parliaments are electing
[00:04:39] three heads of regions. In Karachay- Cherkessia, the deputies of the People's Assembly, from
[00:04:43] among the candidates presented by Vladimir Putin, have already unanimously
[00:04:46] elected Rashid Temrezov, the current head, to this post.
[00:04:50] Also, the deputies elected the head of North Ossetia-
[00:04:53] Alania, Sergey Minyaylo. But in Dagestan,
[00:04:56] the parliament still has to elect the head of the republic, first the results
[00:05:00] of today's elections to the local parliament must appear. Throughout the country,
[00:05:03] the turnout for the elections at this minute, and the Central Election Commission provides it in real
[00:05:07] time thanks to the Gasvybor system, well, look at
[00:05:09] 54.96.
[00:05:51] UAV attack on a civilian bus in Kherson region, two people died and one
[00:05:54] of the dead was our colleague,
[00:05:58] a member of the precinct election commission
[00:06:02] of polling station number 220
[00:06:04] of the Nizhneserginsky district of the Kherson
[00:06:08] region, Olga Petrovna
[00:06:10] Demyanenko.
[00:06:46] I think shame will fall on their heads, each of them will be
[00:06:49] found.
[00:06:52] I ask you to honor the memory with a minute
[00:06:55] of silence.
[00:07:00] Well, as Ella Pamfilova said, despite the threat to their lives, her colleagues
[00:07:04] continue to work at the polling stations. Today a drone struck
[00:07:08] the school building in the Zaporizhzhia region. They purposefully
[00:07:11] destroyed the polling station that was located
[00:07:15] in the comprehensive school of the urban-type
[00:07:18] settlement of Pryshyb, Mykhailivka municipal district of Zaporizhzhia
[00:07:22] region, very serious damage was sustained
[00:07:25] by the left wing of the school building, glazing,
[00:07:28] roof, but this is an operating school, colleagues,
[00:07:32] an operating school where 170
[00:07:35] children study, fortunately no children were
[00:07:38] injured, fortunately at the time of the strike neither in the school nor at the polling station,
[00:07:42] which was opened in the building, there was no one, the commission worked all these days on
[00:07:46] the road, the force of the explosion at this
[00:07:48] school, pay attention,
[00:07:52] all the bricks are just dismantled, thank God,
[00:07:55] no one was there, God is on our side, because in our country
[00:07:59] there is truth, but these bastards, well, everything
[00:08:02] will be repaid, well, it will be repaid for
[00:08:05] all, for all tears
[00:08:07] will be shed, and we will still
[00:08:10] establish a normal life. I repeat, fortunately, no one
[00:08:14] died here, but Olga Dimyanina, who died today
[00:08:17] in another district of Zaporizhzhia, is unfortunately not the first victim of Ukrainian militants. On
[00:08:21] September 15, also in the Zaporizhzhia region, Alyona Ostanina, chairperson
[00:08:25] of the precinct election commission, died. Vladimir Putin posthumously awarded her
[00:08:29] the Order of Courage, on the night of Thursday, a Ukrainian drone flew into the house
[00:08:32] of Victoria Maximova, another employee of the election commission.
[00:08:35] Victoria herself was injured. Her husband and
[00:08:39] child were injured. And also law enforcement agencies found marks at the door.
[00:09:12] that in the current elections voting is already
[00:09:15] more active, partly this can be explained by the increased number
[00:09:18] of regions where it is possible to vote
[00:09:20] remotely. via mobile phone or computer,
[00:09:24] that's how I did it, for example. Such voting schemes, along with
[00:09:28] traditional paper ballots, are available in thirty-two
[00:09:31] regions of the country, and automatically having voted this way,
[00:09:34] I would not be able to vote again with a paper ballot,
[00:09:37] the electronic system would not have allowed it, it must be said that
[00:09:41] in Moscow, for example, almost 3 million voters voted
[00:09:45] remotely, this form of voting was liked by many for its
[00:09:48] convenience. Ella Pamfilova today touched upon provocations
[00:09:51] on our western borders, recalling that the elections at the Russian
[00:09:55] embassies in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia in 2024
[00:09:59] took place under severe pressure from local authorities, when in fact
[00:10:02] our citizens were hindered from voting, blocking the way to polling stations
[00:10:06] under various pretexts, checking documents and essentially
[00:10:09] intimidating them. That is why it was decided to organize
[00:10:13] mobile polling stations at border crossings in our territories, and the
[00:10:16] CEC recognized this innovation as very effective, with great
[00:10:20] respect and attention to the
[00:10:23] voters, these polling stations
[00:10:25] were organized, even to the point that mini-buffets
[00:10:28] were set up in mobile buses, because it was not so
[00:10:32] easy for people to get there. On the territory of the Kaliningrad region
[00:10:35] there are four such points: in the Leningrad
[00:10:39] region, in the city of Kingiseppsky
[00:10:43] district, a specially formed polling station and equipped
[00:10:46] premises for voting in the Pskov region
[00:10:50] opened five points, at which throughout all three
[00:10:54] days of voting, our voters
[00:10:57] are already realizing and today will be able to realize their
[00:11:01] legal constitutional right as citizens of Russia. And also
[00:11:05] employees of the Central Election Commission are repelling almost continuous attacks on
[00:11:09] their servers, as well as on all of Russia's telecommunications
[00:11:12] infrastructure. Thank God, there have been no successful attacks,
[00:11:16] despite their power and strength. At the same time, the
[00:11:19] level of impact is assessed
[00:11:22] as very high. Attacks were
[00:11:25] carried out by highly professional groups using artificial
[00:11:29] intelligence tools, attacks were carried out predominantly from
[00:11:32] abroad, of course, our colleagues blocked
[00:11:36] them as best they could, well, just imagine
[00:11:39] where they are coming from? Great Britain,
[00:11:42] Ukraine, Brazil, Indonesia,
[00:11:45] youth interference, closed channels, but just think, in
[00:11:49] the last few hours, more than a thousand
[00:11:53] such attacks on the Central Election Commission's servers have been registered. It is clear that until the
[00:11:56] end of the vote count, the CEC employees do not intend to relax,
[00:11:59] well, and we, from the Central Election Commission, will continue to monitor how the
[00:12:03] voting is going, the voting in the country is ending. By the way, during our
[00:12:06] broadcast, the turnout has already grown and
[00:12:09] exceeds 55%.
[00:12:12] This is indeed a record for the last 10 years in
[00:12:15] elections.
[00:12:18] Yes, thank you Anton, that was Anton Vernitsky. Anton, we will come back to you during our
[00:12:22] broadcast to find out new data from the CEC. As
[00:12:25] already noted, for the first time, residents of new regions took part in the Duma elections
[00:12:29] and people voted very actively. In the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhia and
[00:12:33] Kherson regions, polling stations have already closed due to the operational
[00:12:36] situation. Thus, in the Donetsk People's Republic, the turnout, according
[00:12:40] to preliminary data, exceeded 81%. In
[00:12:43] Luhansk, it was
[00:12:45] 79.33%.
[00:12:48] In the Zaporizhzhia region, the turnout approached
[00:12:51] 79%. In Kherson, almost about.
[00:12:56] The Kyiv regime, as you have already heard, tried to intimidate people with bloody
[00:12:59] terrorist attacks, but nothing came of it, despite the provocations, the elections took place and
[00:13:03] people voted actively, as our correspondent, Sergey
[00:13:06] Ponomarev, confirmed. The polling station
[00:13:09] is closed, voting
[00:13:13] is over, exactly at 2:00 PM, that is, already at noon,
[00:13:16] all polling stations in the DPR closed, here at the sixth gymnasium
[00:13:20] in Donetsk, as in the republic as a whole, the turnout is very high, the ballots
[00:13:23] barely fit on the large table, most of the voters were there on the first day, before
[00:13:27] work everyone rushed, tried to
[00:13:31] make it, today
[00:13:34] actively went, a stream of people went, first of all
[00:13:38] she opens safe-packets with ballots of those who participated in early voting in
[00:13:41] the new regions, it started on September 8, and many voted
[00:13:45] in advance, commissions specially went to factories, mines, so that as
[00:13:49] many people as possible had the opportunity to make their
[00:13:52] choice. Special attention was paid to the liberated.
[00:14:25] in the yards, the realities of voting in Avdeevka, a mobile polling station
[00:14:28] was initially planned to be organized in the courtyard of a house that is currently being restored, but after
[00:14:32] a recent shelling, it was decided to move the point closer to the private
[00:14:36] sector, under the trees, all for the safety of people, of course,
[00:14:39] they were notified in advance. Daniil Grigoryev,
[00:14:42] chairman of the commission, worked in Avdeevka immediately after the liberation
[00:14:46] in 2024 for the presidential elections, then the front was very
[00:14:49] close, this time they took body armor, helmets, but decided to
[00:14:53] put them on only in emergency cases. all the equipment was taken with us,
[00:14:56] left it all in the car and somehow
[00:15:00] decided that we would be on equal terms with people, there are many
[00:15:03] people, those who voted call neighbors, relatives, I
[00:15:07] want a good life, so that construction starts faster, so that the factory
[00:15:11] rebuilds us faster, so that our children live well, grandchildren,
[00:15:14] great-grandchildren, their mandates, future deputies know, it is necessary not only
[00:15:18] to restore the city, but also to help those who want to return, we
[00:15:21] are waiting, waiting for this moment when people will
[00:15:25] start returning, the city will be restored, we will
[00:15:29] help to contribute to its
[00:15:32] prosperity and make the city more beautiful than it was, like in
[00:15:36] Mariupol after the large-scale.
[00:16:07] Russia, we have been waiting for this for so long. According to preliminary calculations, in the DPR,
[00:16:11] more than 80% of all
[00:16:13] voters voted. The republic is among the leaders in turnout in the country, head Denis
[00:16:17] Pushilin noted both the active position of Donbass residents and the effective work
[00:16:20] of the election commission. In difficult conditions, non-standard
[00:16:24] conditions, elections are taking place here, and I
[00:16:27] express great, great words of gratitude for such
[00:16:30] preparatory work so that preliminary
[00:16:34] voting could take place, and of course.
[00:17:07] and well, so that our region, as they say, recovers, it is already
[00:17:11] recovering, they made a beautiful embankment, thanks to the region's patron
[00:17:14] Moscow, thank you for that. This is my country, this is my
[00:17:18] state, I want order
[00:17:20] in our country,
[00:17:22] which means there will be
[00:17:26] peace, of course, but after victory. These are the first
[00:17:29] elections to the State Duma in the new regions, so now
[00:17:33] their representatives will appear there. According to voters in the Zaporizhzhia region,
[00:17:36] these should be everyone who knows both local problems
[00:17:40] and ways to solve them, these are people who lived
[00:17:42] here, live here, and
[00:17:46] will promote their territories, protect the
[00:17:49] interests of our territories, what we directly need for the development
[00:17:53] of schools, roads, infrastructure, everything else,
[00:17:56] everyone must come and express their desire, otherwise they cannot
[00:18:00] say that they did something, at the polling stations in LNR these days there are many
[00:18:04] young people, eighteen-year-old Ilya Dubinsky wants to live, study,
[00:18:07] and work in his native Kirovsk, I came
[00:18:09] to vote so that our city,
[00:18:13] our country, the republic develops, so that new jobs
[00:18:17] appear, so that we have new enterprises, factories, so that we
[00:18:20] move forward and
[00:18:23] become a richer republic, following the example of Donetsk,
[00:18:26] in the Luhansk People's Republic and Zaporizhzhia region, polling stations
[00:18:30] closed today earlier at 4:00 PM, so the count
[00:18:33] is also in full swing, in the Kherson region it was decided to...
[00:19:08] you need to care about your country with your soul and
[00:19:11] heart, for the people, for the country, for faith, for
[00:19:15] the future, for your children, for your grandchildren, so that they have everything
[00:19:19] good, I think it is very important to do your duty, for
[00:19:23] stability, it seems to me that when many people go to elections,
[00:19:27] you feel that we will all cope together, we came to
[00:19:30] the polling station with positivity, with a good mood, with
[00:19:34] a good choice, we wish our country peace.
[00:19:40] And these are shots from the Chechen Republic. The oldest resident of Russia, Yakha
[00:19:44] Khashagova, took part in the voting. She is over 100
[00:19:47] years old. Representatives of the election commission came to her home in Grozny. There
[00:19:51] the woman filled out the ballot and put it in the ballot box. The long-liver
[00:19:54] was given flowers. The day before she had her
[00:19:56] birthday.
[00:20:00] We will return to the topic of elections in our broadcast. In the meantime,
[00:20:03] a special operation. The Russian army launched a massive strike on military.
[00:20:07] enemy bodies, explosions thundered in Kyiv and its environs, as well as in
[00:20:11] Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa,
[00:20:14] Kirovohrad, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Cherkasy and Poltava
[00:20:18] regions. So in the Odesa region, a road
[00:20:21] bridge was hit, through which military cargo from the West was passing. In
[00:20:24] the port of Chornomorsk, a tanker with weapons. Summary footage from Valentin
[00:20:28] Gvozdev.
[00:20:30] The sky over Kyiv was blocked by smoke. Residents were advised not to leave their homes and not
[00:20:34] to open windows. Tonight the Russian army carried out a combined
[00:20:37] attack on objects of military, energy and transport infrastructure of Ukraine. In
[00:20:41] the capital, the Radionix enterprise was hit, which produced control systems for Flamingo,
[00:20:45] Neptune, FP-7 and FP-9 missiles. In Boyarka,
[00:20:48] the company's warehouses were hit.
[00:20:50] where weapons and components for long-range drones were stored, according
[00:20:54] to the Ministry of Defense, the bmobile data center was hit, which provided
[00:20:57] data storage, processing and transmission, including intelligence data, as well as
[00:21:01] the functioning of network equipment in the interests of
[00:21:04] the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A serious fire raged this night in the Sumy
[00:21:08] region, warehouses of the Right company in Konotop were hit, where components for Ukrainian
[00:21:11] drones, as well as weapons and military equipment supplied from
[00:21:14] the west, were also stored. In Kherson, our Iskander hit a machine-building plant, the premises
[00:21:18] of which were used in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a series of strikes on a defense
[00:21:21] plant in the vicinity of Zaporizhzhia.
[00:21:24] The naval blockade of Ukraine continues in the port of Chornomorsk. Our Geraniums destroyed
[00:21:28] a tanker that delivered military cargo, in Odesa, a Nova Poshta
[00:21:31] terminal was hit, where cargo from Europe was stored and distributed. In the village of Mayaki,
[00:21:35] drones destroyed a new bridge across the Dniester, through which supplies from
[00:21:39] the territory of Romania passed. Another bridge was destroyed in the area of Kamyshevakha
[00:21:42] in the Zaporizhzhia region.
[00:21:44] Effective strikes on the enemy's military rear
[00:21:47] contribute to the advance of our troops on the front line. In the Kharkiv region,
[00:21:51] the militants of the AFU, trapped in a cauldron in the northwest, are being shelled by our artillery and
[00:21:55] VKS. The encirclement ring is tightening every day, the outer control zone
[00:21:58] is growing, depriving the enemy of the ability to supply the blockaded
[00:22:02] group. Attempts to break through are suppressed by unmanned
[00:22:05] aerial vehicle operators. Within the encirclement ring, enemy manpower was defeated in the
[00:22:09] areas of the settlements of Varvarivka, Hrachivka, Reznikove, Khysnyakove and
[00:22:13] Khrepuny in the Kharkiv region. Battles are being fought for the liberation of the settlement
[00:22:16] of Buzova. Over the past day, the
[00:22:20] losses of the blockaded armed formations of the AFU amounted to more
[00:22:24] than thirty servicemen, an armored combat vehicle, a vehicle,
[00:22:27] and a ground robotic complex.
[00:22:31] A railway junction was hit in the Vinnytsia region, a strong fire started at the facility,
[00:22:35] systematic strikes on the railway infrastructure, according to Ukrainian
[00:22:38] publics, caused massive disruptions in train schedules throughout
[00:22:42] Ukraine. Train delays reach more than 9 hours. As a
[00:22:45] result of our strikes, the work of three largest metallurgical plants in
[00:22:49] Ukraine, which provided the lion's share
[00:22:52] of metallurgical product production, has been completely stopped. The British
[00:22:56] Financial Times writes about the destruction of entire industries.
[00:22:59] Ballistic missiles were aimed at the blast furnaces of three
[00:23:02] largest enterprises in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk
[00:23:06] regions. These factories, which accounted for 90% of steel production
[00:23:09] in the country, are currently stopped. The shutdown
[00:23:13] of the largest enterprises, producers of rolled metal and main suppliers
[00:23:16] of the AFU, may have serious economic consequences for Ukraine. Without
[00:23:20] the ongoing naval blockade, they can become catastrophic. Valentin
[00:23:24] Gvozdev, Natalia Labanova and Aleksey Kozlov. First
[00:23:26] Channel.
[00:23:29] A fuel crisis is gaining momentum around the world, which Western
[00:23:33] oil companies have already dubbed "the great one." For more than half a year,
[00:23:37] that is, ever since the start of the American war against Iran,
[00:23:40] fuel reserves in different parts of the planet are rapidly decreasing,
[00:23:44] and strategic reserves are no longer sufficient to cover
[00:23:47] the deficit. A painful price jump in the States themselves. Just
[00:23:54] a year ago it was almost twice less. Fuel in Europe is at
[00:23:57] historical highs, for example in France, almost 2.5
[00:24:01] euros per liter. Against the backdrop of the crisis, fuel
[00:24:05] riots are already flaring up. Mikhala Kinchenko on
[00:24:07] the situation.
[00:24:11] With fishermen blocking the access roads to the oil depot near the village
[00:24:14] of Fos-sur-Mer in southeastern France, the police did not stand on ceremony,
[00:24:17] participants in the protest dissatisfied with rising
[00:24:20] fuel prices were dispersed with tear gas and batons, in
[00:24:24] Guatemala, the government even had to involve army
[00:24:27] units to disperse
[00:24:29] fuel rioters.
[00:24:34] For a week now, tires have been burning in major Syrian cities, blocking the country's
[00:24:37] main highway after the government announced a 40% increase
[00:24:41] in fuel prices. Protests in Portugal, Peru, and
[00:24:45] the Philippines.
[00:24:49] And even in the relatively prosperous United States, although no one is
[00:24:52] on the streets yet, gloomy forecasts
[00:24:56] are constantly heard in television news
[00:24:58] reports. The astonishing jump in gas prices across the United States, and
[00:25:02] experts warn, will be even worse. Prices at American
[00:25:06] gas stations are rising not even daily, but hourly. For example, on Thursday night in different states,
[00:25:10] a gallon of gas, which is slightly less than 4 liters, immediately rose by 20 to
[00:25:14] 50 cents, the average price across the country is getting closer to the record
[00:25:17] of 2022. But diesel
[00:25:21] has already pulled far ahead, just look at diesel
[00:25:24] prices, this morning they set another record, the average price
[00:25:28] for it is $6.45 cents. According to statistics, since March,
[00:25:31] when the military operation against Iran began, car owners in the United States
[00:25:35] have already spent $107 billion more on fuel
[00:25:38] than in the entire last year, every day another
[00:25:42] $750 million is added
[00:25:44] to this amount. This is just ridiculous, everything you
[00:25:48] buy, starting with groceries.
[00:26:02] Goods across America now cost an average of $2,000,
[00:26:06] considering that fuel tank volumes often start at 1,500
[00:26:10] liters. Such expenses simply proved unaffordable
[00:26:13] for many. Most likely, some
[00:26:17] small carriers, who have only one truck or a few,
[00:26:21] simply will not be able to cope with such rapidly rising fuel
[00:26:24] inflation. We cannot afford such price increases for food
[00:26:28] today, let alone fuel. Food
[00:26:31] prices. I
[00:26:43] must say, wake up, this is already too serious, you have
[00:26:46] a food crisis, an energy crisis, everything is not at all
[00:26:49] like in March, when we discussed what might happen, everything
[00:26:53] is already happening, I heard in California, diesel already reaches
[00:26:57] $9 a gallon, but we are completely off topic,
[00:27:00] think about soybeans, about the fact that... all this will lead to a food
[00:27:04] crisis, think about wheat, corn, this is not something
[00:27:07] you can dismiss, and how many times have copper prices hit records
[00:27:11] in the last couple of weeks, mining,
[00:27:13] and also sea transportation - that's also diesel, as is
[00:27:17] heating, in America itself, because a large part of houses are not connected to
[00:27:20] gas, meanwhile, the cold in the northern hemisphere is getting
[00:27:24] closer, all obsessed with crude
[00:27:27] oil prices, but in fact, refined product prices have gotten
[00:27:30] out of control, we are talking about world diesel prices reaching
[00:27:34] $215 per barrel, production capacities with a total volume
[00:27:38] of about 7 million barrels have been put out of operation, almost all as a
[00:27:41] result of drone attacks, in Russia, the Persian Gulf, and now also in the
[00:27:45] Red Sea, this is the underlying reason for what is happening. And if we take into
[00:27:49] account that due to the reduction of strategic oil reserves, oil refineries in China
[00:27:52] are being taken out of operation, in Europe over the last 20 years,
[00:27:56] hydrocarbon fuel production has been significantly reduced in favor of the
[00:27:59] green agenda, then the diesel deficit in the world...
[00:28:32] Russia, but if now they cannot get it in Russia, then where can
[00:28:36] they go, they cannot just stop their economies,
[00:28:40] they start buying the same American diesel, and data
[00:28:43] shows that the US increased refined product supplies to
[00:28:46] 87 million barrels in just one week. Against this
[00:28:50] background, proposals have been voiced in America to introduce a moratorium on
[00:28:54] diesel exports, following Russia's example, but for now the White House rejects this proposal, but, as
[00:28:58] the media report, the Trump administration is studying the possibility of applying a law
[00:29:01] from the time of the Korean War, under which the President has the right
[00:29:05] to order private companies to increase the production of necessary
[00:29:08] products, but right now this will not yield
[00:29:12] results. Oil refineries in the United States
[00:29:16] are working at full capacity, their capacities are loaded to
[00:29:19] 98% to cover the deficit, but that's
[00:29:22] not enough. Unfortunately, we can't quickly put new
[00:29:25] oil refineries into operation. All we need to do now is find a solution
[00:29:29] to the two biggest international crises. The first crisis
[00:29:33] is the crude oil deficit, the second is the low level of
[00:29:36] refined petroleum product production, and both are interconnected, but experts say
[00:29:39] we should start with resolving the situation in
[00:29:42] the Middle East. From my point of view, the United States
[00:29:46] has given up and started to go with the flow, continuing to repeat:
[00:29:49] prices will drop after the midterm elections. However, there is no
[00:29:53] magic date you can mark on your calendar. You
[00:29:57] won't just wake up one morning and find the problem
[00:30:00] solved. It requires action.
[00:30:12] about the approach of some turning point, which Donald Trump shared with Axios
[00:30:15] . "I have a significant decision to make, whether I want to destroy the Iranian regime or
[00:30:19] not, anything can happen to me," President Trump
[00:30:22] told Axios on Thursday.
[00:30:26] It sounded ominous and unclear. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill,
[00:30:30] despite seemingly all common sense, they
[00:30:33] only continue to escalate the crisis
[00:30:37] spiral. The bill, which the House of Congress approved this week,
[00:30:40] allows the US president to impose 100%
[00:30:44] duties against the five largest buyers of Russian
[00:30:47] energy resources, which are China, India, Turkey, Japan, and
[00:30:51] the European Union. And in Washington, everyone except China on
[00:30:54] this list is usually referred to as an ally. Theoretically, Trump
[00:30:57] could, of course, veto the bill, but he didn't
[00:31:01] and signed it. However, it's not surprising, given the US
[00:31:04] president's penchant for using duties in disagreements with other
[00:31:08] countries, Politico writes. The global reaction
[00:31:11] to the sanctions bill against Russia approved by Congress on Wednesday
[00:31:15] was immediate and sharp. Moscow stated that it
[00:31:19] would only prolong the war in Ukraine. India promised to protect its
[00:31:22] interests, and Beijing opposed what
[00:31:25] it called an overreach of jurisdiction. But in Brussels,
[00:31:29] they remained silent, even though before signing the law, Trump threatened to stop
[00:31:33] all trade with the EU if Canada joined it.
[00:31:36] The American president now has more than enough
[00:31:39] reason to do so, because even despite the direct ban on the purchase of Russian
[00:31:43] oil products, many European countries still do not
[00:31:47] comply with it, circumventing their own sanctions, and
[00:31:50] giving up liquefied Russian gas, as planned from January 1
[00:31:54] next year, will also not be easy: blue
[00:31:57] fuel reserves in Germany today are only 53%,
[00:32:01] the lowest figure in the last 15 years, and
[00:32:04] even if in the next couple of months they manage to replenish storage
[00:32:08] by another 20%, which is highly doubtful, it may
[00:32:12] still not be enough for winter, worries
[00:32:15] Handelsblatt. At normal temperatures, gas storage levels
[00:32:18] will only drop to 38% by April
[00:32:22] 1. However, if winter turns out to be as cold as in
[00:32:25] 2010, storage facilities will be empty by the end
[00:32:29] of January. European governments, as if not hearing,
[00:32:32] assure there is no cause for concern, saying that there is as much
[00:32:36] fuel in storage now as was used up in the entire previous
[00:32:39] winter. But it's not at all certain that the next winter
[00:32:42] will be the same. Mikhail Akinchek.
[00:32:48] Meanwhile, Donald Trump abruptly changed his schedule and hastily
[00:32:52] flew from his Camp David residence to Washington
[00:32:55] a day earlier than planned. The White House did not give a reason, but leading American media
[00:32:59] link it to the situation in the Middle East. According to some reports, the
[00:33:02] administration is discussing possible strikes on Yemeni Houthis, who
[00:33:06] attacked Saudi Arabia yesterday, including facilities
[00:33:09] of the oil company Saudi Aramco. At the same
[00:33:12] time, the discussion requires a message from Iran, which the US transmitted
[00:33:16] through intermediaries in Qatar, seven conditions for the start of any
[00:33:19] negotiations, including unblocking frozen assets,
[00:33:23] ending the war on all fronts and lifting the naval blockade. The
[00:33:26] Iranian command notes that, according to their information, the States
[00:33:30] intend to resume hostilities against the Islamic Republic and
[00:33:33] Tehran will have an answer.
[00:33:37] Now back to the elections, there's very little time left until the end of the three-day
[00:33:40] voting at the polling station on the territory of the
[00:33:44] public headquarters. Vladislav Golovin, Hero of Russia, chief of staff
[00:33:48] of the Yunarmiya movement, came to observe the elections
[00:33:51] in Moscow. He filled out an electronic ballot. The leader
[00:33:54] of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Gennady Zyuganov, preferred the classic method. He marked
[00:33:58] the ballot in the Tverskoy district of the capital. The head
[00:34:01] of the LDPR, Leonid Slutsky, came to fulfill his civic duty at school number
[00:34:05] 1236 together with his mother. At the polling station, they were met
[00:34:09] by public figure, grandson of former French president Charles de Gaulle, Pierre de
[00:34:12] Gaulle.
[00:34:15] I insist that the new composition of the Duma
[00:34:19] should primarily be guided by the president's message, world
[00:34:22] pace, the most modern technologies,
[00:34:25] a united society, everyone fighting for
[00:34:28] victory, for me it is symbolic
[00:34:31] today to cast my vote with my mother,
[00:34:34] it is a tradition, much depends on how the coming months unfold, not
[00:34:38] only for our God-guarded fatherland, but also for
[00:34:42] the entire world.
[00:34:45] The governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov, also personally participated in the voting
[00:34:49] at the polling station in the Odintsovo city
[00:34:52] district. He came with his daughters.
[00:34:56] Today is election day, we came, we are voting according to the
[00:34:59] traditional scheme, some families vote through
[00:35:02] public services, so I want to thank
[00:35:06] everyone who came to the polling stations, who
[00:35:09] registered in the electronic
[00:35:13] system.
[00:35:16] We have elections not only to the State Duma, but also to
[00:35:19] the regional one, and that is very important to us, so
[00:35:23] once every 5 years we vote for
[00:35:26] the regional parliament for our State
[00:35:29] Duma. Those who are currently
[00:35:33] abroad are also not left out. According to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, almost
[00:35:37] 10,500 Russians voted at overseas polling stations. Compatriots could
[00:35:41] make their choice in 152 states. Some
[00:35:44] countries made the process more difficult for our citizens. For example, Germany,
[00:35:48] which closed our consulate general in Bonn just 2 days before
[00:35:51] the voting. Only one polling station remained at the embassy in Berlin. A report by
[00:35:55] Pavel Krasnov.
[00:35:57] The doors of the polling station had barely opened on Unter den Linden in front of the
[00:36:01] Russian embassy in Berlin, and it was already crowded. Queues at
[00:36:04] diplomatic missions on voting days are not uncommon, but the German authorities seemed to
[00:36:08] have deliberately done everything to make voters stand in
[00:36:12] this queue longer than usual today.
[00:37:27] polling stations, especially those open in unfriendly countries, today
[00:37:31] have heightened security measures. All personal belongings must be
[00:37:34] left before entering the polling station; there is even a storage room organized here for this purpose. You
[00:37:38] can only bring your passport or any other
[00:37:42] document. Security is given increased attention here,
[00:37:46] plus, outside there is police on duty. This is how
[00:37:49] voting is taking place today on the territory of the
[00:37:52] Russian embassy in London, and these security
[00:37:55] measures were clearly not taken
[00:38:36] for Russia, and although we are very far away in London, 100 km away, it is very important
[00:38:40] for us to come and vote, to cast our vote.
[00:38:43] Anastasia also brought her whole large family to the polling
[00:38:47] station today. We remember from childhood how mom and
[00:38:49] dad, on early Sunday mornings in our
[00:38:53] childhood, that feeling of a holiday, all of that is beautifully
[00:38:56] remembered and... I really wanted the children, when they went with us, to feel
[00:39:00] the same way, we also prepared them with my husband. One of her sons
[00:39:04] is voting for the first time today. There is a sense of
[00:39:08] responsibility in going through all the official
[00:39:12] procedures for the future of the country, well, and it feels
[00:39:15] like some contribution is being made.
[00:39:18] Yes, first and foremost, you make a choice for
[00:39:22] the country. In total, over 300
[00:39:25] polling stations are operating outside of Russia in these elections.
[00:39:43] of our country, which I believe,
[00:39:46] Armenia and Russia would have a common future, I vote for development, stability
[00:39:50] and prosperity. In Armenia, voting was also organized on
[00:39:53] the territory of the Russian military base in Gyumri, Tajikistan.
[00:39:57] In addition to ordinary citizens, Russian military personnel stationed there
[00:40:00] also voted. And this is the polling station that opened
[00:40:04] in Transnistria today, peace, friendship,
[00:40:08] Russia. Here, voters also line up to
[00:40:11] cast their vote. The leaders of the Transnistrian Republic
[00:40:15] also came to the polling station. You know, here we are separated from our
[00:40:18] historical homeland, but people feel this homeland, so
[00:40:22] of course, this queue, and when people go,
[00:40:25] at this second, I...
[00:42:40] I understand,
[00:42:43] she, and we have to turn around, and
[00:42:46] it would also be good to add a photo here. Observers share their experience
[00:42:50] at the school on Vasilyevsky Island, here is one of dozens
[00:42:53] of polling stations in their visit program. Each international observer has
[00:42:57] the right not only to be present at the polling station, but to observe
[00:43:01] the key stage of vote counting, and also to meet with representatives
[00:43:04] of political parties, public associations. Afterwards,
[00:43:07] the international group will present its report.
[00:45:23] For each foreign observer, these elections are also an opportunity to see
[00:45:26] for themselves how our country lives. In Kuban, the delegation was met
[00:45:30] with traditional songs. In Kuban, we
[00:45:33] live in our native
[00:45:36] Kuban. They treated them to Kuban bread and watermelon.
[00:45:40] And they also showed them a children's technopark at a lyceum in Kropotkin, where
[00:45:44] schoolchildren raise snails, parrots, assemble robots,
[00:45:47] come up with their own designs, and print on a 3D printer.
[00:45:50] Here they build dreams for which the country makes its
[00:45:54] choice. Besides the elections, I was very impressed
[00:45:58] by the children's science school, where very young children show their
[00:46:01] skills and abilities, it's just wonderful. Alena Germanova, Andrey Golderev,
[00:46:05] Semyon Kotenko, Aksenia Ugarova, Elena Shtokov, Natalia Mashtakova and Alexey
[00:46:08] Klyuchnikov, Channel One.
[00:46:11] Republic Day is celebrated today in South Ossetia. Vladimir Putin congratulated
[00:46:15] Marat Kambolov, the head of the republic, on the holiday via telegram. The Russian leader
[00:46:18] emphasized: relations between the two countries are successfully developing in the spirit of
[00:46:21] good neighborliness and alliance. Moscow and
[00:46:24] Tskhinvali cooperate in
[00:46:28] interacting in the interests of strengthening regional security and
[00:46:31] stability. Joint work will continue. I remind you that yesterday
[00:46:34] Vladimir Putin congratulated Marat Kombolov on his victory in the presidential election. He was
[00:46:38] supported by almost.
[00:46:48] in Germany, they also have their own elections today, and the Pushkin card, it's
[00:46:51] 5 years old, and we'll also find out the latest
[00:51:16] continue. Panic is growing in the German leadership
[00:51:19] amid new elections to state parliaments. Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
[00:51:23] are not voting, and in both places
[00:51:26] sympathies are with the opposition forces. No sooner had Chancellor Merz's Christian
[00:51:30] Democrats recovered from the disgrace in Saxony-Anhalt, than the
[00:51:33] prospect of a new defeat loomed on the horizon, with the risk of not
[00:51:37] even overcoming the minimum threshold for entering parliament. Yulia Alkhovskaya is
[00:51:41] on site monitoring the situation.
[00:51:44] Regional elections, including here in Berlin, are called decisive
[00:51:47] for the fate of Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Through voting,
[00:51:51] voters have the opportunity.
[00:52:36] Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is the least populated of all German states,
[00:52:39] with just over one and a half million people,
[00:52:43] mostly small towns, villages, many farmers,
[00:52:46] the region is mostly agricultural,
[00:52:49] the future of rural areas, energy and fuel prices, that's what defined
[00:52:53] the election agenda in this eastern state, which has been governed by
[00:52:57] social democrats for almost 30 years, but today everything could change.
[00:53:01] The Alternative for Germany, if polls are to be believed, has increased
[00:53:05] its number of supporters almost threefold in recent years and is claiming victory,
[00:53:08] while Merz's party, the Christian Democrats, faces
[00:53:12] complete defeat, their rating is at 5-7%,
[00:53:15] and in the worst-case scenario, they may not even get into
[00:53:18] parliament. the government has done nothing in the
[00:53:22] last 9 years, I'm having a hard time, I can't use
[00:53:25] heating in winter, it's cold in the house, it can't go on like
[00:53:28] this.
[00:53:30] We need funds for our land, for children, for pensioners, for everything
[00:53:34] else. All these weapons, why are we sending billions abroad?
[00:53:38] What do I want? Well, I guess for life to get
[00:53:42] better. 2 euros 66
[00:53:45] cents, diesel in Germany has never been so expensive, and the
[00:53:49] further from Berlin, the higher the price. In recent days alone,
[00:53:52] fuel in Germany has risen by 30 cents per liter.
[00:53:56] In the East, harvesting is in full swing, and we constantly encounter huge
[00:54:00] tractors on the road. These have a fuel tank of 200 liters, and filling them with diesel will
[00:54:04] cost at least 500 euros. When we came here,
[00:54:07] we noticed that diesel is very expensive - 2 euros 66 cents. How
[00:54:11] significant is that for you? This is our ruin, we are not able
[00:54:15] to earn that much money. A large tractor consumes 300-350
[00:54:18] liters of diesel per day, and then we get
[00:54:21] 210 euros per ton of wheat, and we get
[00:54:24] 170 euros per ton of barley. I'll just say, that's it, it's over, we're at
[00:54:28] our limit, we can't do this anymore. European
[00:54:32] refineries do not produce enough diesel. The EU depends on.
[00:56:36] And in the outback, they are sure that without Russian gas, the German economy
[00:56:40] will continue to plummet. On the Baltic coast of
[00:56:43] Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the more than thousand-kilometer offshore route of
[00:56:46] Nord Stream ends. In the town of
[00:56:50] Lubmin, the gas pipeline's land fall. It was here
[00:56:53] that Russian gas entered Germany's gas transmission system and then
[00:56:57] all of Europe. Thanks to the infrastructure built as part of cooperation with
[00:57:00] Russia, Lubmin transformed from a small Baltic
[00:57:04] resort into one of Germany's most important gas hubs,
[00:57:08] creating new jobs and hundreds of millions of euros in investment. After the pipeline
[00:57:11] sabotage, all of that is in the past. The topic became key
[00:57:14] in the election campaign of several parties at once. The "Alliance of Sarah
[00:57:18] Wagenknecht" posted posters in the eastern state calling for Russian gas to be launched
[00:57:22] through the line that survived the
[00:57:24] terrorist attack.
[00:57:27] Launch Nord Stream, start importing gas from
[00:57:30] Russia. Why, do you think, would that lower gas
[00:57:34] prices? We simply need a mixed
[00:57:37] supply, meaning an energy balance from various
[00:57:41] sources. And if Russia were to start supplying energy to
[00:57:44] our energy market again, I think it would be in any case.
[00:59:34] Apparently, a very, very difficult result is expected for the CDU in
[00:59:38] Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Do you have
[00:59:41] a pain threshold, upon reaching which you would say, if
[00:59:44] the result is below this, I cannot continue? Today
[01:00:25] from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior
[01:00:28] in the capital, the relics of Saint Spyridon
[01:00:31] of Trimythous were taken away. Before that, a prayer service was held, and outside, hundreds of believers
[01:00:35] watched the farewell. The right hand of one of the most revered saints in the world
[01:00:38] was brought to our country from the Greek island of Corfu on August
[01:00:41] 17. The shrine visited several regions, and in a month,
