[00:00:00] back, and not less weakness in the legs. For sciatica,
[00:00:03] take Pintovit, a time-tested medicine
[00:00:07] from Altai
[00:00:51] On Russia Vestia, Evgeny Rashkov in the studio, hello, and the main news at this
[00:00:55] hour.
[00:00:59] Attack on the southern regions of Ukraine at this
[00:01:01] moment.
[00:01:06] Two ships with military cargo are burning in the port of Odessa, a power station in
[00:01:10] Dnepropetrovsk region. On the highways, our military
[00:01:13] drones disable all gas stations.
[00:01:16] In the Kursk region today, they remember the victims of the Ukrainian invasion.
[00:01:20] The Investigative Committee is investigating what the terrorists did here 2 years
[00:01:24] ago.
[00:01:26] Rescued pilots of a forest fire aircraft, finally.
[00:01:30] Irkutsk, they warmed themselves under the cover
[00:01:32] of the plane, it was very cold, we had ice
[00:01:36] what they told our correspondent
[00:01:39] Pavel Marchukov about the reasons for the hard landing and how
[00:01:42] they managed to get in touch.
[00:01:45] The first ships passed through the Hormuz Strait, Iran was able
[00:01:48] to reach an agreement with Oman. Trump is angry and lashes out
[00:01:52] at Defense Secretary Hexitt. Demands an urgent audit of
[00:01:55] missiles.
[00:01:58] Cars can't handle it. It broke through from there, it flew
[00:02:01] there, I'm just in shock, the consequences
[00:02:05] of rare heat in the capital, how not
[00:02:08] to boil?
[00:02:14] So, explosions are thundering in the eastern and southern regions
[00:02:18] of Ukraine right now, our reactive Geraniums are attacking the rear facilities of the VSU.
[00:02:21] The attack is on the ship,
[00:02:24] an attack. A dry cargo ship is burning off the coast of Odessa, it
[00:02:28] and another vessel with military cargo in the Black Sea
[00:02:32] were hit by attack drones. Fueling stations
[00:02:35] on Ukrainian territory are being methodically destroyed. In
[00:02:38] the Dnepropetrovsk region, a drone burned another gas station that
[00:02:42] was used by militants, and there they also disabled the Bogda-novskaya
[00:02:46] electric substation. It provided power to the railway line along
[00:02:50] which weapons were transported. In Zaporozhye, the target of the strike was a factory
[00:02:53] that was used for military warehouses. Local residents in
[00:02:57] social networks are already reporting extensive destruction. And in
[00:03:00] the zone of the special military operation in the Orekhovsky direction, paratroopers are eliminating
[00:03:03] enemy drones directly in the air.
[00:03:07] Strela 10 anti-aircraft missile
[00:03:10] systems are on combat duty.
[00:03:16] Exactly 2 years ago, Ukrainian militants invaded the Kursk
[00:03:20] region. In Kursk itself, on the anniversary of the tragic events,
[00:03:23] a memorial rally and flower laying took place. And on
[00:03:27] Victory Avenue today, a stone was laid that will become.
[00:04:00] The Ukrainian Armed Forces invaded the Kursk region, the enemy spared no one,
[00:04:03] cut off evacuation routes and opened fire on cars, with old people,
[00:04:07] women and children in the sights, there was a child,
[00:04:10] look, yes, you can see children's booties, yes, and
[00:04:14] this woman, down there, the day when the family
[00:04:17] tried to leave Sudzha, will forever remain in the memory of Artem Kuznetsov,
[00:04:21] a burst of machine gun fire riddled the car of his
[00:04:24] pregnant wife, Nina died before reaching
[00:04:27] the hospital, her son received shrapnel wounds. One
[00:04:30] here, three here, one
[00:04:34] here on the shoulder. Now Artem and Matvey are in Kursk, they bought an apartment
[00:04:37] with a certificate. The baby goes to kindergarten and often
[00:04:41] remembers his mother, he misses her, they often visit her at the cemetery,
[00:04:45] on the monument, the date that divided the lives of hundreds of thousands of people
[00:04:49] into before and after.
[00:04:52] How so? The atrocities in the VSU became
[00:04:56] an additional motivation to quickly liberate the border areas for the fighters of the North.
[00:05:13] The whole country mobilized its forces, thousands of tons of aid arrived
[00:05:16] in the region, volunteers came from different regions, the Popular Front
[00:05:20] set up a humanitarian headquarters, round the clock, concerned
[00:05:24] people were on duty at temporary accommodation points and worked in
[00:05:27] warehouses.
[00:05:30] Our soldiers liberated settlements one after another, the final
[00:05:34] turning point in the battles was operation Stream, Russian
[00:05:37] assault aircraft in full ammunition and equipment entered the rear of the VSU
[00:05:41] through a gas pipeline. Militants fled Sudzha, and
[00:05:44] then Gornaly, a small village right on the border. On April 26,
[00:05:48] 2025, the Russian
[00:05:52] flag was raised
[00:05:53] over the dominant height.
[00:05:59] Residents of the Kursk region, abducted during the occupation to Sumy,
[00:06:02] are returning home, 170 people have already
[00:06:05] reunited with their families, smiles and tears of joy upon meeting -
[00:06:09] the result of large-scale work. The fate of about
[00:06:13] residents of the Kursk region remains
[00:06:15] unknown. We continue to use all possible
[00:06:19] humanitarian mechanisms to determine the fate of every
[00:06:23] person. The crimes of the Kiev regime do not go
[00:06:26] unpunished. The lion's share is under the article on terrorism. At
[00:06:29] the moment, the investigation of more than 300 criminal cases has been completed,
[00:06:33] court verdicts have been passed against 280
[00:06:37] militants. Work continues with civilians
[00:06:40] returned from previously captured territories.
[00:07:13] The Kursk border helps heal the wounds of the border areas, volunteers
[00:07:17] of United Russia are restoring houses damaged by shelling.
[00:07:20] Peaceful life will return to Sudzha, Yevgeny Shestopalov is sure,
[00:07:23] the rector of the Holy Trinity Church has repeatedly become a hero of our
[00:07:27] reports. In the first days of the invasion of the VSU, he sheltered civilians
[00:07:30] in the monastery. After the evacuation, Father Yevgeny repeatedly returned to
[00:07:34] the dangerous area, evacuated people, delivered humanitarian aid,
[00:07:38] despite two wounds and upcoming... shootings
[00:07:41] предстоящую... стрельбы
[00:08:50] took place during large-scale exercises of the Pacific Fleet, which are currently
[00:08:53] underway in the waters of the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk,
[00:08:57] the munition flew 1300 km
[00:09:00] and destroyed a conditional enemy at the Kura training
[00:09:03] ground in Kamchatka.
[00:09:07] Trade turnover between Russia and Kyrgyzstan has increased by a quarter over the past year
[00:09:11] and has already exceeded 5
[00:09:42] cooperation in agriculture, transport,
[00:09:45] digitalization, tourism. Russia
[00:09:48] actively participates in the development of Kyrgyzstan's energy
[00:09:52] infrastructure and the creation of new generation facilities. This
[00:09:56] year, we plan to commission a solar power plant
[00:09:59] with a capacity of 300
[00:10:02] MW in the east of the country. Preparations
[00:10:04] are underway for the construction of a modern wind
[00:10:07] power plant in the same region.
[00:10:11] Russia and Kyrgyzstan are closely cooperating in the humanitarian
[00:10:15] sphere, we continue the construction of nine schools in Kyrgyzstan
[00:10:18] with instruction in Russian, and also the campus of the Slavic
[00:10:22] University in Bishkek. In general, Russia
[00:10:25] and Kyrgyzstan have the widest prospects for mutually beneficial
[00:10:28] cooperation, I am convinced that actions and
[00:10:32] further cooperation in partnership, Russian and Kyrgyz business
[00:10:36] circles and regions will continue to
[00:10:39] universally promote the economic growth of our countries
[00:10:42] and the social well-being of our citizens.
[00:10:46] Exactly 81 years ago, the USA dropped an atomic
[00:10:49] bomb on Hiroshima. In Japan today, more than 100 thousand
[00:10:53] victims are honored, but the nation.
[00:11:03] United Nations from Japan, a report by our correspondent Sergey
[00:11:07] Mengazhev. The main burial
[00:11:10] of the victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima is located
[00:11:13] on the territory of the Peace Park, where the epicenter was. Here they buried
[00:11:17] bodies that were collected throughout the city, but directly in
[00:11:20] this part of the city there was no one to collect. At the moment of the explosion,
[00:11:23] the temperature at the epicenter.
[00:11:27] leaves nothing of people but a stain on the ground.
[00:11:30] The remaining shadow of a person sitting on the stone steps
[00:11:33] of a destroyed bank, among the exhibits of the local
[00:11:36] museum.
[00:11:39] The nuclear mushroom cloud from the uranium charge, a baby with a power of 12 kilotons,
[00:11:43] dropped from an American bomber at 8:15 a.m. on August 6,
[00:11:47] 1945, leveled half the city with
[00:11:51] a population of 4000 people. The Americans later thoroughly...
[00:12:02] This is how Japan calls those who survived the explosion or suffer from the consequences
[00:12:06] of radiation sickness, every year they replenish the mournful list
[00:12:09] of victims. Hibakusha. 8 years
[00:12:12] ago he died of cancer. He managed to survive the explosion, but
[00:12:16] the symptoms of radiation sickness haunted him all his life.
[00:12:19] His name is included in the official list of victims. I always
[00:12:22] come here to pray.
[00:12:34] The chimes of the memorial bell ring at exactly 8:15 a.m., after which
[00:12:38] all those present bow their heads in a minute of silence, then
[00:12:42] the order worked out over the years, the traditional declaration of peace from
[00:12:45] the mayor of Hiroshima, in which he calls on all countries to abandon
[00:12:49] nuclear weapons and stop conflicts, but he does it
[00:12:52] in a peculiar way. The Hiroshima authorities
[00:12:57] Russia, the only country, to take part in the ceremonies, for example, in the case of
[00:13:00] Israel or the USA, such principledness is not observed,
[00:13:04] and of all current conflicts, the mayor mentioned only the
[00:13:07] Ukrainian one again. The instant destruction by atomic fire
[00:13:10] of tens of thousands of people, about 70 thousand in Hiroshima died immediately, another
[00:13:14] same number by the end of 1945. The thirty-third
[00:13:17] US President Harry Truman called it the greatest thing in history. He said
[00:13:21] this phrase aboard the cruiser Augusta, returning from Potsdam. Since
[00:13:25] then, no American leader has uttered even a hint of repentance or
[00:13:29] regret, and the current forty-seventh US President Donald Trump,
[00:13:32] when he visited Japan last year, called the
[00:13:35] bombing of Japanese cities a small conflict, after which
[00:13:39] the United States and Japan became the closest friends.
[00:13:42] Having occupied the Japanese islands in September 1945, American
[00:13:46] troops remain to this day at their bases in Japan. Japan
[00:13:50] itself is now officially under the protection of the US
[00:13:53] nuclear umbrella. And the tragedy.
[00:19:31] information broadcasting. Now 4 hours
[00:19:34] daily. Watch us at 12:00
[00:19:38] and 18:00, your favorite program
[00:19:41] 60 Minutes is always at
[00:19:43] its best,
[00:19:50] this is Vesti, we continue the broadcast: Rosaviatsiya rescuers evacuated
[00:19:54] to Irkutsk the pilots of the forest fire aircraft that disappeared from radars 3 days ago. After
[00:19:57] the emergency landing, they assembled a radio with their own hands and got
[00:20:01] in touch. Their first words after
[00:20:04] returning, in Pavel Marchukov's report.
[00:20:08] The helicopter of the aviation rescue center delivered the surviving crew to
[00:20:11] Bodaybo. The first words after landing from the aircraft commander
[00:20:14] Alexander Nazar and pilot observer Philip Zykov were thank you. First
[00:20:18] they thanked their rescuers, the Rosaviatsiya pilots, and only then
[00:20:22] talked to us. Tell me, how are you feeling?
[00:20:25] Excellent. How did you survive, what did you eat? Nothing.
[00:20:29] Completely hungry? Candies. That's all.
[00:20:32] The crew was immediately taken to the Bodaybo district hospital, where doctors examined
[00:20:35] the pilots. They had no serious injuries. They got
[00:20:38] off lightly. Small superficial
[00:20:42] injuries, abrasions on the face, on one
[00:20:46] and the other, there are no serious injuries
[00:20:50] at all. Colleagues brought the survivors
[00:20:53] a change of clothes and food. The pilots tell the story of their rescue. During
[00:20:57] aerial monitoring of forest fires, visibility suddenly disappeared in the fog,
[00:21:00] the plane landed on a rock. From these shots, it is clear that the impact was softened by trees,
[00:21:04] while the emergency tracker stopped sending a signal, so no one knew where
[00:21:08] to look for the crashed plane. They did not lose hope. Who told the crew
[00:21:11] about the plane? Oh, nothing, I was happy, I quickly said,
[00:21:15] well, the battery was running out on him quickly, we warmed
[00:21:18] ourselves under the plane's cover.
[00:21:50] In Volynsk, a new hospital will appear this year. The Speaker
[00:21:54] of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, checked the progress of the work.
[00:21:58] of medical care in the region is growing, Dmitry Kaster.
[00:22:01] Spread out on the right bank of the majestic Volga, the city
[00:22:04] of Khvalynsk, where the endless Volga floods meet stunning
[00:22:08] sunrises every day, which paint the chalk mountains in shades
[00:22:12] of molten gold, opens new opportunities for tourism,
[00:22:15] health and recreation. To discuss the development of this unique
[00:22:19] place...
[00:23:06] The construction of a new hospital is in full swing, which will replace the centuries-old buildings. Of course, I would like
[00:23:10] everything to work out, because the city
[00:23:13] has its own great
[00:23:15] history,
[00:23:18] and many interesting people who tried to do everything so that
[00:23:22] by our
[00:23:25] time,
[00:23:27] much of what they created has reached us and we
[00:23:31] use it to develop cities in
[00:23:34] the future. The hospital is named after the legendary surgeon Anton
[00:23:38] Brzazovsky. Already at the beginning of the 20th century, he installed the first X-ray
[00:23:41] machine in the Saratov province and performed more than 500
[00:23:45] operations a year without a single fatality. His name is
[00:23:48] a symbol of service.
[00:24:20] first of all, to solve issues of quality
[00:24:23] healthcare, this is the creation of a city district
[00:24:26] central hospital, and then the opening
[00:24:30] of a department in the college for training nurses
[00:24:33] and paramedics, then we will train personnel for
[00:24:36] sanatoriums and resorts in
[00:24:39] other areas, this will create a good foundation, from such
[00:24:43] small towns, villages, districts,
[00:24:46] Russia begins, and Russia is a region.
[00:24:50] This is the development of our country. The apple capital of the Volga region -
[00:24:54] this city began as a guard post, and later by decree
[00:24:58] of Peter I as a fortress. But why
[00:25:01] Khvalynsk after all? Well, everything is simple here: the Volga, on which
[00:25:04] the city stands, flows into the Caspian Sea, formerly the Khvalynskoye
[00:25:08] Sea, hence the name. In Khvalynsk,
[00:25:11] the memory of the native of these places, the artist Kuzma
[00:25:15] Petrov-Vodkin, is carefully preserved, inspired by the stunning landscapes where
[00:25:18] the Volga spreads out km, and its waters blaze
[00:25:22] in the flashes of the sunset, Petrov-Vodkin created here
[00:25:26] his famous masterpiece: Bathing of the Red Horse. The name
[00:25:29] of the painter is borne by the local museum and art gallery, which
[00:25:32] were restored with the support of the Chairman of the State
[00:25:36] Duma. Unlike many officials, he was a frequent
[00:25:39] guest of our art museum, he
[00:25:43] was here not alone, he brought friends here,
[00:25:47] and this building, it's an old
[00:25:50] building, this building was built in the mid-19th century, it never had
[00:25:54] repairs, finally in 2017 this building
[00:25:57] was restored, the gallery's collection includes masterpieces by old masters and
[00:26:01] works by contemporary artists from...
[00:28:18] abnormal heat has been announced until the end of the week in the Azov region, but in
[00:28:22] the center, Friday, it seems, will be the last hot day. Tatiana
[00:28:25] Antonova is already in the studio, what again changes?
[00:28:29] Evgeny, they, they are not far off, because...
[00:28:36] I must say that the heat will leave with a bang, accompanied
[00:28:40] by downpours, well then, what
[00:28:43] to do, local rains with thunderstorms and hail will pass tomorrow in
[00:28:46] Yaroslavl, Tver, Smolensk regions and here
[00:28:49] 27-29, south and east of the capital
[00:28:53] still up to 37°, in the south
[00:28:56] we have continuous scorching sun from 30 on the Black Sea
[00:28:59] coast to 40° in...
[00:29:02] steppes. The Kola Peninsula is in the very center
[00:29:05] of a bad weather cyclone. In Murmansk, it's raining all day and a gloomy
[00:29:09] +16. In Kaliningrad, it will get cooler tomorrow to

[00:29:22] there are already downpours, thunderstorms, hail, dangerous wind. Be
[00:30:01] ahead. News of your regions now we have GTRK
[00:30:05] Orenburg and Ksenia Bykova on the line. Surgeons of the regional
[00:30:08] hospital now have a robot to help them perform knee
[00:30:11] surgery.
[00:30:15] Hello, Evgeny, the system integrated with computed
[00:30:19] tomography allows surgeons to control the position of bones and
[00:30:22] instruments in real time, which increases
[00:30:26] the accuracy of prosthesis placement and reduces the risk of complications. And
[00:30:30] also instead of a full joint replacement, it can avoid.
[00:30:39] after the big evening news
[00:30:42] don't miss the new episodes of the melodrama My Sister, My Love, next
[00:30:46] your news, and we will continue with Muscovites, residents
