[00:00:25] This was your favorite program "60 Minutes." Thank you for
[00:00:29] watching. We value every viewer, for now,
[00:00:49] about what they are talking about and writing about at this moment. We have gathered the main news. In the studio, Olga Armyakova.
[00:00:53] вести, в студии Ольга Армякова,
[00:00:55] Hello.
[00:01:00] Alkhovatka has been liberated, the encirclement in Kharkiv region continues to
[00:01:03] tighten, and Geraniums struck a checkpoint in Volyn region,
[00:01:07] where military cargo from European sponsors
[00:01:10] of Kyiv is burning. The rapid procurement of weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces
[00:01:13] is being carried out through a secret German headquarters. How it operates and
[00:01:17] under whose patronage, details have leaked to
[00:01:20] the press. Hacker attacks are increasing
[00:01:23] daily, but the Central Election Commission successfully repels these threats. Almost
[00:01:27] 4 million people have already registered for...
[00:02:04] And we begin with news on the progress of the special operation in the Reznikov cauldron in the north of
[00:02:08] Kharkiv region. Our military established control over the settlement of
[00:02:11] Alkhovatka. In this area, Ukrainian Armed Forces formations are being destroyed,
[00:02:15] which are blocked to the east. Thus,
[00:02:17] units of the Northern Group of Forces continue to tighten the encirclement,
[00:02:21] battles are ongoing for the village of Malaya Volchya. About how our
[00:02:24] tankers are breaking through the defense of militants in the Kharkiv cauldron,
[00:02:28] Alexander Korobov.
[00:02:30] The landing is covered in smoke from both explosions and burning
[00:02:34] dugouts. The enemy has been driven out from here. Assault troops of the Eleventh
[00:02:37] Tank Regiment of the Eleventh Army Corps, Northern Group of Forces
[00:02:41] are completing the cleanup. In the small sky there are a large number of drones, both
[00:02:45] ours and enemy ones. One cannot stay in one place for long.
[00:02:48] For all units, mobility comes to the forefront.
[00:02:52] Strong armor and excellent cross-country ability today allow tanks to act as
[00:02:56] mobile artillery.
[00:03:30] as a wandering weapon, and also to operate from covered positions. The cauldron created
[00:03:34] in the Kharkiv region is boiling, in part thanks to our tank crews.
[00:03:38] Daily, units of the Northern Group of Forces are moving forward,
[00:03:41] tightening the ring even more. The task is important - to liberate
[00:03:45] the territory and push the enemy as far away as possible from our
[00:03:48] border. Alexander Korobov, Vyacheslav Pozolkov, Vesti:
[00:03:52] Kharkiv direction.
[00:03:54] In Volyn region, after a Geranium attack, a railway
[00:03:58] train is burning. The wagons were carrying foreign-made equipment, components
[00:04:01] for them, and other military cargo. The Yagodin international automobile
[00:04:05] checkpoint has been put out of action. Strikes on Ukrainian border
[00:04:09] crossings disrupt ground supply channels for foreign military aid
[00:04:12] to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of key transport hubs. In Kyiv, two Ukrnafta gas stations
[00:04:16] were destroyed. Eyewitnesses are publishing footage
[00:04:19] of the aftermath. At the impact sites, there are strong fires, and plumes of thick black
[00:04:23] smoke are rising into the air. Three logistics centers were hit by our
[00:04:27] Geraniums in Sumy region. Another one took off for... Lithuania
[00:04:41] last night, so much so that fighters and attack helicopters of NATO
[00:04:44] allied countries had to chase the UAV.
[00:04:47] NATO.
[00:04:50] We have a connection, guys, we have an air
[00:04:52] raid warning.
[00:04:59] As reported by the Crisis Management Center, a Eurofighter
[00:05:02] pilot received an order to eliminate an air threat, because of which
[00:05:06] Vilnius airport had to be closed for the second time in the last 3 days.
[00:05:09] Previously, the drone flight was allegedly mistaken for...
[00:05:12] birds, and the President of Lithuania Nausėda, even before the start of the
[00:05:16] expected examinations, stated that Russia
[00:05:19] was to blame for everything.
[00:05:22] Well, in Germany, a secret headquarters was discovered that buys weapons from
[00:05:25] all over the world for shipment to Ukraine. The British Financial Times reports
[00:05:29] this exclusive today. As the publication writes, a partisan detachment of twenty
[00:05:33] people is operating right under the nose of Defense Minister
[00:05:36] Pistorius. The scheme is simple: Kyiv provides
[00:05:39] a list of necessary weapons, Berlin pays the bills. Headquarters
[00:05:43] staff look for the fastest procurement options and conduct direct negotiations
[00:05:46] with sellers. It is noted that the group was created in the spring of
[00:05:50] 2022. And initially served as a situational center for
[00:05:53] informing high-ranking officials, but quickly turned into a key
[00:05:57] intermediary in supplies.
[00:06:00] Russia is ready for negotiations on Ukraine and has never
[00:06:03] tried to complicate the process. This was stated by Sergey Lavrov in Moscow at
[00:06:06] a round table of diplomats. The minister also announced that he would meet
[00:06:10] with US Secretary of State Rubio.
[00:07:12] At the table, Lavrov emphasized that Russia will certainly achieve the return of its
[00:07:16] gold and foreign exchange reserves frozen by the European Union, and the attempts
[00:07:19] of the EU through various legal loopholes to confiscate our country's money
[00:07:23] is pure theft. Lavrov also stated that Moscow continues to fulfill
[00:07:27] its obligations for the supply of oil and grain to world markets,
[00:07:30] despite the pirate seizures of European Union
[00:07:32] ships.
[00:07:35] Today, the ban on the publication of pre-election
[00:07:38] opinion polls and research comes into force. The embargo will be lifted
[00:07:41] on Sunday after the closing of all polling stations.
[00:07:54] More than 4 million Russians have submitted applications to participate in
[00:07:57] online voting in the upcoming elections. This was announced today
[00:08:00] by the Central Election Commission. Registration for remote voting
[00:08:04] has ended, the submitted applications are being processed, less than three
[00:08:08] days remain until the opening of polling stations, and as the head
[00:08:11] reported.
[00:09:12] 60 huge train
[00:09:15] convoys we sent to support New Russia
[00:09:19] and everyone who is fighting there against
[00:09:22] Bandera followers, Nazis and fascists. I am proud,
[00:09:26] this is a labor, military patriotic
[00:09:28] feat. And the entire election campaign showed
[00:09:32] that the country's citizens support us in the most active
[00:09:36] way.
[00:09:46] Bad weather is heading to Stavropol in the coming hours, the region will be hit by
[00:09:50] thunderstorms with heavy rains. A storm warning was also issued in
[00:09:53] Adygea.
[00:09:59] Rostov-on-Don is already in the grip of the elements. Large
[00:10:02] hail fell there, with snowdrifts near houses.
[00:10:05] And today we have a sea formed here.
[00:10:08] Flooded streets and courtyards today in Belgorod. And also.
[00:10:25] A tornado, an air funnel, was seen not far from
[00:10:27] Foros, cold,
[00:10:30] northwesterly wind, swimwear was replaced by
[00:10:33] jackets, these are already frames from the Black Sea coast
[00:10:36] of Anapa, where due to the storm with meter-high waves, swimming was prohibited,
[00:10:40] look what beauty! How young
[00:10:42] specialists get the necessary knowledge and apply it in practice,
[00:10:46] this was discussed today at the National Russia Center, where a meeting was held on
[00:10:50] the topic of future professionals. This is part of the all-Russian project,
[00:10:54] "Where the Motherland Begins."
[00:11:10] For the training of engineering elite, we launched a project to create advanced engineering schools
[00:11:13] at universities, which are essentially innovative
[00:11:17] scientific and educational associations,
[00:11:20] centers where students from their first year not
[00:11:23] only receive theoretical knowledge, but also implement
[00:11:27] high-tech industry into their first developments,
[00:11:31] and another tool for the development of our future engineers
[00:11:35] are student design bureaus. Well, in
[00:11:38] our next issue, deception or mystification, or perhaps
[00:11:42] a real threat, how the development of artificial intelligence will affect
[00:11:45] humanity, we will tell you after the advertisement, it will be short, stay with
[00:15:34] in everything related to IT. I enjoy games, gamepads,
[00:15:38] and because of this, I find it easy to control unmanned
[00:15:41] systems. I decided to become a serviceman, all relatives
[00:15:45] and friends treated my choice with respect, I learned about
[00:15:48] the existence of such a direction as unmanned aviation, underwent
[00:15:51] retraining, and began to study this issue.
[00:15:55] Drones are for specific purposes, they are used for different
[00:15:58] purposes, reconnaissance, there are strike, there are decoy
[00:16:02] drones, distracting
[00:16:04] attention.
[00:18:09] A unique air defense system, where instead of missiles, it has FPV drones, was shown for the first time today
[00:18:13] at the All-Russian Arms Forum in Moscow. The advanced
[00:18:16] development was presented by the Kalashnikov Concern. Other promising weapon
[00:18:20] systems were also part of the exhibition, in the creation of which
[00:18:23] designers actively used the experience of the special operation. What of this can
[00:18:27] enter the troops in the report by Eduard
[00:18:30] Punikov.
[00:18:32] These combat footage frames have not been publicly shown yet. Today,
[00:18:36] the concern, as part of the Fourth All-Russian Arms
[00:18:40] Forum, for the first time showed its new product: the unique Zveroboy air defense system,
[00:18:43] which is designed to protect military and industrial
[00:18:47] facilities. The Zveroboy's weapon are high-speed
[00:18:50] interceptors, Krakens - these are FPV drones with a warhead,
[00:18:53] there are three drones in each block, they can operate
[00:18:56] day and night in any weather. Zveroboys are equipped with thermal imagers,
[00:19:00] so the operator sees perfectly everything that happens on the battlefield.
[00:19:04] The complex can be placed on the basis of a conventional pickup truck, which...
[00:20:07] as well as large operators, also in the civilian direction for
[00:20:11] object coverage. No less important role in hot spots is played by
[00:20:14] surveillance systems. For example, the domestic drone detector
[00:20:18] on a bat, which intercepts video signals from enemy drones. Here we
[00:20:22] have an analog video transmitter at 8.800,
[00:20:25] we are just intercepting the image from it, that is, we can be seen. So,
[00:20:29] in combat operations, it's better not to see yourself. Yes, it's better not to see yourself. Here we also have
[00:20:33] directional, all-directional antennas for the guys that are being installed. It is mounted
[00:20:37] on equipment and brought out from dugouts, with its help, the image is displayed
[00:20:40] to understand what is flying, for what purpose, and where. Special attention
[00:20:43] is paid to the development of promising models of small arms, including
[00:20:47] short-barreled weapons. The Ministry of Defense
[00:20:50] almost all small arms nomenclature of the Kalashnikov Concern
[00:20:53] has been contracted for long-term contracts. We have
[00:20:57] an understanding of the volume until 2030,
[00:21:00] this is a very important decision that was
[00:21:03] made
[00:21:06] at the beginning of this year, and we implemented it, including
[00:21:10] Lebedev pistols. The arms industry is showing steady
[00:21:13] growth, however, according to the participants of the discussion, now special
[00:21:17] attention needs to be paid to initial military training in Russia. He
[00:21:20] should come from civilian life already knowing what
[00:21:24] a 12-gauge allows, how to
[00:21:26] work, that is, start with sporting,
[00:21:30] any option, but he must have experience, and this
[00:21:34] is a big government program. The novelties presented
[00:21:37] today will begin to arrive at the front line in the near
[00:21:40] future. Eduard Ponegov, Evgeny Oreshnikov, Grigory Safonov,
[00:21:43] Vesti.
[00:21:46] Vaccines with an updated composition have started arriving in Russian regions in anticipation.
[00:21:51] This was reported today in the Kremlin to Vladimir Putin by the head of
[00:21:54] Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, who presented the president with a report on
[00:21:58] the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the country. Well, the president began the conversation
[00:22:02] with congratulations.
[00:22:06] September 15th, the day
[00:22:09] of the sanitary and epidemiological service. I want to congratulate
[00:22:12] you, everyone who performs this most important function, mission, one could
[00:22:16] say, works in the field of Rospotrebnadzor.
[00:22:50] control over the health of citizens, the readiness
[00:22:53] of our services, the availability of vaccines, and so on. Today,
[00:22:56] the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the country is stable, in fact,
[00:23:00] today is the beginning of the epidemic
[00:23:04] of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza. Influenza will definitely be present
[00:23:08] this year, as it happens every year, but we
[00:23:12] are preparing together with the entire healthcare system.
[00:23:15] A feature of this season is that
[00:23:18] the vaccines against influenza today, their composition
[00:23:21] has been completely replaced for all three components: influenza
[00:23:25] A1N1, influenza AH3N2, and influenza
[00:23:28] B. Completely new components are included in the vaccine
[00:23:31] composition. The prospects for the development of artificial
[00:23:34] intelligence and the application of high technologies in a wide variety of areas, from
[00:23:38] healthcare to education, are one of the key
[00:23:41] discussions today in Yekaterinburg, where delegates
[00:23:44] from almost 200 countries of the world gathered at the International
[00:23:47] Youth Festival. Domestic science in the IT sector.
[00:24:20] These meetings have taken place, they talked to their
[00:24:22] peers from Donbass, looked at the exhibition, they are already
[00:24:26] speaking out against all this, playing into the hands of our political
[00:24:29] opponents, or, for example, China, robots will not
[00:24:32] take over the world. In addition, the head of the White House
[00:24:36] recently published a whole series of posts on social networks, where he stated that
[00:24:40] he would debunk myths about the dangers of AI, as well as about the imaginary
[00:24:43] Russian threat. He made loud statements against the backdrop of concerns
[00:24:47] of neural network creators regarding their rapid development, which, in turn,
[00:24:51] led to a fall in the value of securities of leading
[00:24:54] tech companies. As CNN notes, the economy under
[00:24:58] Trump is growing mainly due to the introduction of artificial intelligence
[00:25:01] and associated costs, so the American president is doing
[00:25:05] everything possible to calm the markets and prevent a collapse in the quotes
[00:25:08] of IT companies. Winter has arrived in Yakutia,
[00:25:12] forecasters warn of ten-degree frosts
[00:25:15] and snowfalls. On the European territory, so far
[00:25:18] only rain as far as weather annoyances go, but it
[00:25:22] won't affect the warmth. Tatyana Antonova is already in the studio. Tatyana,
[00:25:25] it's a big country indeed and the weather is so different
[00:25:28] everywhere. Olga, yes, that's right. Yakutia remains the coldest
[00:25:31] region of the country today. At this very
[00:25:35] time, the Caspian region has thirty-degree heat, in the
[00:25:38] center it's the golden mean, 18-20 degrees, the rains will recede.
[00:25:41] It's our golden autumn, exactly. Well then,
[00:25:44] the anticyclone will deal with the rains, it will stretch
[00:25:48] from the Black Sea to the White Sea. In Arkhangelsk, tomorrow it will be without precipitation,
[00:25:52] +13 degrees, in Kaliningrad it will warm up to 22 degrees,
[00:25:56] but not for long, a new cyclone is approaching, in the central strip
[00:25:59] heavy rains from the Black Earth region tomorrow. Will reach the Volga region, in
[00:26:03] Kazan, at the same time 16 degrees, from Yaroslavl
[00:26:06] to Belgorod the sun will peek out and 17-19 degrees. In the
[00:26:10] south, the rains will recede into the mountains of the Caucasus, the weather will improve,
[00:26:13] that very classic velvet season is coming, water and air
[00:26:17] are the same 20-25, only in the Caspian region it's still
[00:26:20] under 30. In St. Petersburg on Wednesday 16-18 degrees, partly
[00:26:24] cloudy, no precipitation, in Moscow partly cloudy,
[00:26:27] 17-19
[00:27:04] of Investigation," Vesti continues to follow the development of events, stay with us.
[00:27:18] Bold comrades, in step,
[00:27:22] our spirits will be strengthened in battle, to the
[00:27:25] kingdom of freedom, the road,
[00:27:28] we will pave it with our chests.
[00:27:40] Communist Party of Russian Communists for victory and Soviet
[00:27:44] power, vote for number 10. As you
[00:27:48] probably know, I am a journalist, for most of my conscious
[00:27:51] life, a war correspondent, war reporter. And what is
[00:27:55] especially important for a war reporter? Truth, it is the most
[00:27:58] important for each of us.
[00:28:01] Truth, it is the same for all of us, strength is in truth and
[00:28:05] justice, for this we will fight all
[00:28:08] together, and of course, we won,
[00:28:12] when we are united, we are invincible, United Russia.
