Here's what [00:00:51] will be interesting and relevant in [00:00:52] the program. [00:00:57] There will be a breakthrough. Russian troops are preparing for... [00:02:00] who they sometimes have to fight in [00:02:02] the office. [00:02:10] Explosions are thundering right now in several regions of Ukraine. In one of the districts [00:02:13] of Kyiv, the power went out, [00:02:17] reactive. Eyewitnesses are publishing footage of [00:02:20] reactive Geraniums flying by. The drones at high speed are heading deep into the Ukrainian [00:02:24] rear. In the Sumy region, Russian military personnel hit a gas [00:02:28] station. Prices for some. filling stations have already exceeded [00:02:31] the psychological mark of 100 hryvnia per [00:02:34] liter. In the Kharkiv region, a warehouse complex has been destroyed. In [00:02:37] Odessa, buildings of the military academy were hit. Western press [00:02:41] links these attacks to a single campaign against Ukrainian [00:02:44] logistics. It's no longer just about routes and stations; locomotives, [00:02:48] fuel facilities, and routes along which military [00:02:51] cargo travels to the front are under attack. Deputy Minister of Defense of Poland Tomczyk claims that [00:02:55] the goal of the current strikes is to paralyze military supplies and the operation of Ukrainian [00:02:59] railways. [00:03:03] on the eve of winter, and new equipment significantly expands the possibilities of such attacks. Austrian Colonel Markus [00:03:07] Reisner warns that the threat could significantly increase already in winter. [00:03:11] Modern drones are capable of independently searching for locomotives by their thermal [00:03:14] signature, and after losing navigation, they can connect to [00:03:17] Ukrainian mobile networks and maintain control deep in [00:03:21] the rear. In addition, according to his assessment, Russia is directing part of the drones [00:03:24] to warehouses for subsequent strikes. Against this [00:03:27] backdrop, Finnish publications write that Ukraine. locomotives at [00:03:30] enormous rates, this systemic pressure is gradually changing [00:03:34] the situation on the front line. In the Zaporizhzhia [00:03:37] region, Ukrainian forces began to retreat from [00:03:40] Orekhovo. Ukraine had built the fortress city [00:03:44] for years. Further, up to the Dnieper itself, there are no such [00:03:47] lines anymore. How the Eastern Group of Forces operates - a report by Kirill [00:03:51] Popov. Front-line trend. Now [00:03:55] our equipment, whether it's artillery, multiple [00:03:58] rocket launcher systems. [00:04:01] Air defense is accompanied by mobile fire groups. These guys [00:04:04] are now moving in advance to the right [00:04:07] square, they will control the sky, [00:04:10] patrol the designated sector. Well, [00:04:13] guys, good luck! That's it, without me now, [00:04:17] let's jump, [00:04:21] with God's help! The soldiers do not risk taking us on a combat mission, because right after that, a self-propelled [00:04:25] howitzer 100s rolls out of the forest belt to deliver [00:04:29] a sudden blow. This heavy machine is easy to lift, but always [00:04:32] under the sights of Ukrainian [00:04:34] drones. [00:04:41] Guardsmen of the 30th Artillery Brigade of the Eastern Group of Forces keep [00:04:44] the enemy under constant pressure, hitting defensive [00:04:47] structures, equipment, conducting counter-battery warfare. We were given [00:04:51] a target, an enemy self-propelled howitzer [00:04:54] was detected, accordingly, we started [00:04:57] working on it immediately. literally three or four shells, [00:05:00] that's it, accordingly, the howitzer [00:05:04] is completely out of order. Shells one after another fly into Chervony Yar, [00:05:08] a village in the Zaporizhzhia region, from where our assault groups still have to [00:05:11] drive out the militants and where the enemy currently maintains activity, [00:05:14] striving to accumulate for conducting counter-attacking [00:05:17] actions. [00:05:19] And here are some more objective control shots, aerial reconnaissance records [00:05:23] the landing of a Ukrainian hexacopter in a forest belt. The first shell [00:05:26] is a sighting shot, then the second one follows, the UAV [00:05:30] control point is already engulfed in flames. The automated guidance system leaves [00:05:33] no chance for the enemy. When an artillery shell hits, specifically from [00:05:36] 152, I think the enemies don't like it very much, [00:05:40] because there are very... [00:05:50] A minimal number of shells are used to hit the target, each weighing more than 40 kg, piercing the most [00:05:53] fortified positions. High-precision Krasnopol munitions are also [00:05:56] used. From the moment the command is received, [00:06:00] a maximum of 2 minutes for [00:06:02] aiming. A target will always be found for the [00:06:06] soldiers of the Vostok group of forces. The ASU conducts rotation, delivers equipment, or [00:06:10] evacuates. Artillerymen destroy militant fortifications on the front line [00:06:14] and hit targets behind the line of combat contact. Our [00:06:17] units are successfully pushing through the enemy's established [00:06:21] defense line near Orekhov. Kirill Popov, Alexey Yaldin, [00:06:24] Vesti. News of a multibillion-dollar hole in [00:06:28] the Ukrainian budget had the effect of a bombshell in the EU, said a [00:06:32] European diplomat to the Washington Post. Zelensky's regime's demand for another [00:06:36] 27 billion dollars to cover military expenses caused [00:06:39] surprise and dissatisfaction in Brussels. For. [00:07:20] events in Ukraine have taken a back seat today amid the scandal between [00:07:23] the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the recently dismissed [00:07:27] Prosecutor General Kravchenko. The ex-official who fled abroad, [00:07:30] apparently decided that he was still able to fight for power, accused his own [00:07:34] former office of illegally canceling suspicions [00:07:37] against the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau Krivonos. According to him, the [00:07:41] prosecutors allegedly. [00:07:56] Preparing for peace is more important than continuing the war, said Matteo [00:08:00] Salvini. The Italian Deputy Prime Minister met with entrepreneurs who continue [00:08:03] to work in Russia. And there are about 300 such companies. Businessmen [00:08:07] spoke about how EU sanctions damage the Italian [00:08:10] economy. [00:08:22] Matteo Salvini, no matter what you ask about, there will be a scandal throughout [00:08:25] Italy. The very fact of an interview with Russia channel is already a reason. [00:08:29] The last time we met in Venice, the Deputy Prime Minister of Italy walked through the Russian [00:08:32] pavilion, touched the wood, listened to the recruitment song, [00:08:36] "the cuckoo is cooing in the damp pine forest," and stopped in front of [00:08:39] the Vesti microphone. [00:08:59] there is a part of the Italian left that believes only it has the right to talk about [00:09:02] art, culture, entertainment, cinema, theater, poetry. I encountered [00:09:06] this during the Olympics, as a minister I was responsible for organizing [00:09:09] and creating all the Olympic infrastructure, and... I still [00:09:12] remember the polemics when some people wanted to turn against athletes, [00:09:16] including those with disabilities. Art has no [00:09:19] borders, no restrictions, no censorship, so I try, to the best [00:09:23] of my abilities, to promote peace restoration. [00:09:26] The refusal of Russian gas is a mistake, sanctions did not [00:09:30] stop the conflict, did not bring the Russian economy to its knees, they [00:09:33] boomeranged, killing the economy of Italy, billions in losses. [00:09:37] Matteo Salvini's statements often differ from what the [00:09:41] government says, and yet he... [00:10:25] representatives who talk more about war than about peace will find it difficult [00:10:28] to sit at the table as a third party between the parties to [00:10:31] the conflict. In Milan, Matteo Salvini met with Italian [00:10:35] businesses. Not everyone has left Russia, some have closed [00:10:38] production but want to return, invest, for this they need [00:10:41] government support and mutual trust, which can [00:10:44] disappear in one second if what Brussels [00:10:48] continues to dream of happens. [00:10:51] Frozen Russian assets, taking them is like stealing, and this is important. [00:11:05] ties with Russia, my interest is Italian, I think about the benefit for [00:11:09] Italy, let me remind you of the Belgian prime minister, whom this concerned first [00:11:13] and foremost, he said: "Guys, before confiscating, freezing, [00:11:16] let's exercise all possible caution, because later we [00:11:20] risk paying dearly for it. In Italy, [00:11:23] there is frozen Russian property." The protection and maintenance of which costs [00:11:27] us, Italian citizens, millions and millions of euros. What is the [00:11:30] point of this, I don't understand. Assia Yemelyanova, Vesti [00:11:34] Southern European Bureau. [00:11:37] The first blizzard broke out on one of the passes in southern Yakutia. [00:11:41] Due to heavy snowfall, visibility on the roads dropped to just a few meters, [00:11:45] drivers had to slow down and occasionally drive into the oncoming [00:11:48] lane to avoid going off the road due to squally winds. In other [00:11:52] regions, winter is also gradually taking hold. On social networks, [00:11:55] residents are publishing dozens of videos where snow is already lying in a thick blanket. In [00:11:59] the Rostov region, a storm warning was in effect last night. The [00:12:03] region experienced a strong thunderstorm with heavy rain and [00:12:05] hail. [00:12:10] Hailstones covered the ground, and entire icy drifts gathered near houses, [00:12:13] which, however, soon [00:12:15] melted. [00:12:20] Now for other news from the great country. Briefly. Early voting for the State Duma elections is taking [00:12:24] place in Mariupol. Representatives of precinct election commissions [00:12:27] visit addresses so that everyone can vote safely. This is the first time [00:12:31] that Donbas and Novorossiya are participating in the Duma elections since [00:12:34] their reunification with Russia. The early voting stage will last for another 2 days, and the main stage will [00:12:38] start across the country on September [00:12:40] 18. [00:12:43] Oryol designers and engineers are preparing to release the first [00:12:47] fully import-substituted jet bridges in Russia and CIS countries. It is designed for [00:12:50] operation even in extreme weather conditions, at temperatures from [00:12:53] -50° to +50, [00:12:57] compatible with all types of aircraft. This year, the first such [00:13:00] jet bridge will be received by Moscow's Domodedovo airport. [00:13:03] And in Penza, an import-substituted analogue of the "Lastochka" (Swallow) [00:13:07] was launched on a test run, the Russian train Finist. Under the control of the driver, right from [00:13:10] the cabin, all onboard systems. [00:13:13] Climate control is regulated separately in each carriage. Finist, created at [00:13:17] the Ural Locomotives plant, is capable of reaching speeds of up to 160 [00:13:21] km/h. In the Saratov region. [00:13:25] the construction of the Mir Center is underway, a new [00:13:28] cultural and educational space in the Park of Space Conquerors, on [00:13:32] the place where Yuri Gagarin landed. The initiators are [00:13:35] the Chairman of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, and the first female cosmonaut, [00:13:39] deputy Valentina Tereshkova. The memorial and educational complex in [00:13:43] the open air has already become a point of attraction for residents and guests [00:13:46] of the region. A report by Alexandra [00:13:48] Bystritskaya. [00:13:50] 65 years ago, the first human flight into space ended on this field. [00:13:54] Those same 108 minutes around the Earth. Gagarin was expected [00:13:58] in the Kazakh steppe, so his landing on Saratov soil was not [00:14:01] captured. He was seen by residents of nearby villages. Today, [00:14:05] a different generation lives here, and now for them, a cultural and educational [00:14:09] center Mir is being built on Gagarin's field. Here, it's not just memory [00:14:12] that is immortalized, but through examples of his [00:14:16] feat, children will be able to study [00:14:20] cosmonautics, related subjects [00:14:23] of science, they will try on. Gagarin [00:14:32] came to master the profession of a foundry worker, and at the same time he enrolled in [00:14:35] the Dubki aero club, where he learned to fly on this plane. In the Dubki aero club, [00:14:38] details of that life have been preserved, when Yuri Gagarin was still a young [00:14:42] cadet. This well was then the only source of water for the entire [00:14:46] aero club. Today, of course, there are already different training conditions, planes [00:14:50] and equipment, but the memory of those times is carefully preserved here. From [00:14:53] his first solo flight to the launch of [00:14:57] Vostok, less than 6 years passed. He himself, even in [00:15:00] his book, when he writes about his journey [00:15:04] to space, how long he went to it, he never [00:15:08] hesitates to admit that he was afraid, that his [00:15:11] heart sank. For many years, only a Stella in the middle of [00:15:15] an open field reminded that the flight ended here. In 2021, a park appeared here. Then [00:15:19] Vladimir Putin, together with Vyacheslav Volodin and Valentina Tereshkova, [00:15:22] laid red roses at the memorial Stella. Our President Vladimir Vladimirovich [00:15:26] Putin supported the decision to create a memorial [00:15:29] complex here, a park, conquerors of space, and [00:15:33] all this is becoming a large cultural and educational [00:15:36] space. where a child can [00:15:39] immerse themselves in the world of space, where together with their parents they can [00:15:43] spend time. Today Gagarin actually brings [00:15:47] everyone together on this land after decades have passed, because [00:15:50] his name, [00:15:53] his feat, it is important [00:15:56] to us, it is on such acts that children are taught. [00:16:00] In 5 years, the park has grown, now excursions are regularly held [00:16:03] here. We think that this is an even larger exhibition than in Moscow or Samara. [00:16:07] That is, we visited the Samara space museum, there the exhibition is smaller than [00:16:11] ours, we are extremely pleased with this. The new Mir center will become the next [00:16:14] stage, even for those who are yet to choose their future [00:16:18] profession. Alexandra Bostritskaya, Alexander Merkuryev and Maxim Devitaykin, [00:16:21] Vesti from Saratov. [00:16:24] This is Vesti, here's what's next in our program. Trump demands compensation [00:16:27] from allies who are not helping him in the war with [00:16:30] Iran. Why French fishermen refuse to go out to [00:16:34] sea, and how one lightning strike caused a major.

[00:18:04] His wife wondered, "You should go for a check-up." But Semyonych [00:18:08] said, "Don't poke around under the hood, woman."

I personally will not [00:21:24] go with pop stars," emotions are [00:21:27] overflowing, calm down, settle [00:21:30] your livers.

This is where there was an attempt [00:21:54] at sabotage two years ago, an explosion here, but no traces [00:21:57] of it. A big premiere on [00:22:01] Russia channel. The channel was silent for almost 2 years, we considered it [00:22:04] dead. But it seems that he is more alive than [00:22:07] ever. [00:22:10] I can remind you how you didn't notice the spy right [00:22:12] under your nose. First [00:22:16] the drawing, then... [00:22:23] no, I can help. [00:22:25] She could before. His style is [00:22:29] recognizable. His [00:22:32] return is inevitable. It's not every [00:22:36] day you meet a dead [00:22:37] man. [00:22:41] Something new, I can't say yet. [00:22:44] The Artist, continuation [00:22:46] of the story, [00:22:49] soon! on [00:22:50] Russia channel. [00:22:56] Vesti is on air, we continue the broadcast. After the end of the conflict with Iran, the US [00:23:00] will demand compensation from allies who refused to help the White House. [00:23:04] Donald Trump reminded of this. The American president said [00:23:07] that he is currently considering the advisability of a peaceful dialogue [00:23:11] with the Islamic Republic. At the same time, Washington has definitely [00:23:14] decided not to provide military support to Riyadh. Because of this, [00:23:18] Saudi Arabia faced the worst scenario, the New York [00:23:22] Times writes today. So, citing its sources, Bloomberg [00:23:26] reports that representatives of the kingdom have already turned to Great Britain [00:23:29] for help. The Saudi army periodically [00:23:32] publishes videos of pinpoint strikes on Houthi detachments and communication [00:23:36] towers in Yemen, but air attacks are not enough to [00:23:40] stop the advance of the Shiite group. On the ground, [00:23:43] regular forces are clearly inferior. In these shots, three brigades along with [00:23:47] their weapons surrender without a fight. At the same [00:23:50] time, economic damage is growing. These satellite images show damage to two pumping [00:23:54] stations of the East-West pipeline, which until recently allowed [00:23:58] oil to be pumped around the Strait of [00:24:00] Hormuz. [00:24:05] French fishermen, fishing in the Mediterranean Sea, announced [00:24:09] an indefinite strike in the port city of Sète. People are unhappy with rising [00:24:12] fuel prices, restrictions and allocation of bluefin tuna [00:24:16] quotas. The measures were introduced by the leadership of [00:24:19] the European Union, and now they are perceived as an attempt to [00:24:22] push the French out of the fishing industry. The organizers of [00:24:25] the strike state that it will continue until Brussels [00:24:29] revises its [00:24:29] decisions. [00:24:35] More than 55 thousand people have been evacuated from the Chinese resort [00:24:38] of Hainan, popular with Russian tourists, due to heavy rainfall. More than [00:24:42] 400 mm of precipitation fell there in a day. This is an absolute record for all [00:24:45] meteorological observations. Several people were blocked by heavy [00:24:49] rain streams. They were evacuated by rescuers. Schools and tourist [00:24:52] facilities are closed in the affected areas. This year, more than half a million [00:24:56] vacationers visited the province. The threat of flooding in the region [00:25:00] remains. [00:25:04] A lightning strike caused a large fire in the mountains [00:25:07] of the Sayano-Shushensky Nature Reserve. The forest is burning in [00:25:11] an area with altitude drops of up to 1,500 m. [00:25:14] It is difficult for paratroopers to get there. A team of... people [00:25:18] is fighting the fire, all work has to be done [00:25:22] manually, water is delivered by air. Over the past [00:25:25] week, specialists from Avialesookhrana, together with other services, [00:25:28] eliminated more than 180 outbreaks in thirty [00:25:32] regions. [00:25:37] Concert Requiem, every third, a unique cultural [00:25:41] project with this name, was presented in Nizhny Novgorod by artists from [00:25:45] Belarus. The production, in which music, theatrical [00:25:48] art, and modern technologies are combined, [00:25:52] is based on authentic archival materials about [00:25:55] the events of the Great Patriotic War, about the creative rethinking of the tragedy [00:25:59] and the preservation of historical memory without distortions, a report by Tatyana Kolpakova. [00:26:04] The performance is given special power by an unusual artistic [00:26:08] blend, where theatrical and musical art, [00:26:11] documentary materials and modern technologies are intertwined.
