[00:01:45] Today is the third and final day of voting for the State Duma elections. As of this
[00:01:49] hour, voter turnout across the country is almost 45%. The number of
[00:01:53] people who voted electronically has already become a record
[00:01:57] for a single voting day in Russia in the region.
[00:02:30] They worked in almost every corner of the republic, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces
[00:02:33] continue attempts to destabilize the situation, striking
[00:02:37] communal and civilian infrastructure in the region,
[00:02:40] despite this, residents continue to go to vote, employees work in
[00:02:43] normal mode, video checkmarks please put your
[00:02:47] signature, uh-huh, people come to vote
[00:02:50] with families and work collectives, and also defenders
[00:02:53] of the homeland cast their votes, in Kirovsk, for example, today the veteran
[00:02:57] of the special operation Fyodor Dudnik made a choice, in 2022... he went
[00:03:00] to the front as a volunteer-reservist, it is very important, it is very important for
[00:03:04] me and my family, and the checkmark
[00:03:07] placed on the ballot is not just a checkmark, it is my
[00:03:10] small contribution to the future development of our
[00:03:14] Russia, and now it depends on each person how our
[00:03:18] great Russia will develop further. Polling
[00:03:22] stations are working everywhere, even in small villages. Well,
[00:03:25] the mood is good, festive, of course, for peace,
[00:03:28] so that the war ends faster. So that everything
[00:03:31] works out for us, this is an opportunity to influence the vector
[00:03:35] of development of our city, our
[00:03:38] region as a whole, this is our homeland, we must be with
[00:03:42] everyone, we always vote, each
[00:03:44] polling station in the republic was equipped for residents with disabilities.
[00:03:48] At each polling station there are ballots for
[00:03:51] blind people, these are such stencils, they are placed directly on the
[00:03:55] ballot, and a person with visual impairment can
[00:03:58] get acquainted with information about the candidate.
[00:05:00] history and that today we, as
[00:05:03] never before, must all together choose the future of our
[00:05:07] country, the future of our country, as well as the region and
[00:05:10] cities in the Sverdlovsk region choose...
[00:05:22] cast their vote, make conscious choices, this is our life, we will live
[00:05:25] in Russia, the government must truly act
[00:05:29] in the interests of the people and protect
[00:05:33] us from the encroachments of unfriendly countries. The progress of
[00:05:36] voting in the Middle Urals is monitored at the public
[00:05:39] observation center: a hotline is operating, where...
[00:05:54] The situation on the ground is also monitored remotely. Almost one and a half
[00:05:57] thousand polling stations are equipped with a
[00:06:00] video surveillance system. On this video wall, images from forty-eight
[00:06:03] polling stations are simultaneously transmitted, all in real time. For
[00:06:07] example, Nevyansk, Resh, Yekaterinburg.
[00:06:10] But you can assess the situation at a specific polling station in more detail on
[00:06:14] the monitor screen. Here, lawyers analyze possible
[00:06:18] extraordinary situations. In addition, more than 800 public observers are working in the
[00:06:22] region. Among them are international
[00:06:25] experts from 13 countries. Germany, Venezuela, Portugal,
[00:06:29] Indonesia. For example, Montazar Az-Zeidi came from Iraq.
[00:06:32] We came to Russia to
[00:06:36] observe the elections, and also to show the world that real
[00:06:40] democracy exists in Russia. We are reacting.
[00:07:12] with filling out a paper ballot in the booth, the total turnout at the end of
[00:07:16] the first day of voting exceeded
[00:07:18] 20%. Kirill Bortnikov, Albert Musin, Maksat
[00:07:22] Parheldyev, Gennady Lagunov, Lengalyeva, Vesti
[00:07:24] Yekaterinburg.
[00:07:27] They've been mothers for several hours now, but they don't forget their civic duty. These
[00:07:31] women are still recovering after childbirth, so they vote without getting out of
[00:07:35] bed. Patients of the Irkutsk City Perinatal Center named
[00:07:38] after Malinovsky are traditionally among the active
[00:07:41] voters. It's very exciting, we always
[00:07:44] worry that it goes as comfortably as possible, as
[00:07:48] conveniently as possible for women, because we understand that these are women who have just
[00:07:51] given birth or women who are waiting, they are in
[00:07:55] anxiety of the expected event. In
[00:07:58] such a state, they feel
[00:08:02] increased responsibility for their child, for their
[00:08:05] future, and of course for the future of
[00:08:07] our
[00:08:11] homeland. At the polling stations, there is a festive
[00:08:14] mood, turnout is quite high. I believe that this is our
[00:08:18] civic position, we all must do this. I came
[00:08:21] to vote, so
[00:08:24] that the country flourishes. In settlements bordering
[00:08:27] the forest, maximum safety measures are taken, for example, in Baikalsk, where
[00:08:31] a night curfew was imposed due to the mass exit of bears,
[00:08:34] the delivery of voters to polling stations is organized. In the Irkutsk region, on
[00:08:38] the single voting day, in addition to the State Duma elections, in one of the districts... Today is
[00:08:42] the last day when you can still make your choice, and if
[00:08:50] for valid reasons you cannot come to the polling station, you can do it at
[00:08:54] home, for this you need to contact the precinct election
[00:08:58] commission at your place of residence. Pavel Marchukov, Viktor Strossky,
[00:09:01] Vesti Irkutsk region.
[00:09:04] Ivanovo paratroopers paralyzed the supply system of
[00:09:08] the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Orekhovo area of Zaporozhye region, operators of attack
[00:09:11] drones burn on...
[00:09:21] destroyed militant units hidden in
[00:09:24] the forest belt. Reconnaissance revealed the coordinates of targets by tracking
[00:09:27] an enemy hexacopter supply. In the
[00:09:30] Dobropolye direction, military personnel of the Phoenix sapper battalion
[00:09:34] destroy the logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Drone
[00:09:37] operators thwart attempts by militants to deliver food and
[00:09:40] equipment. Also, military engineers, using drops from
[00:09:44] drones, conduct demining of the area for the passage of
[00:09:47] assault groups and fight waiting
[00:09:50] drones, and special forces of the fifty-first
[00:09:53] Guards Army destroyed an enemy UAV
[00:09:56] control point. First, drone crews destroyed electronic warfare
[00:10:00] antennas, then struck shelters with operators and
[00:10:04] engineers.
[00:10:07] Military personnel of the Center group are advancing on Dobropolye from
[00:10:10] several directions. Attack aircraft are approaching the powerful fortified
[00:10:14] area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces under the cover of attack drone
[00:10:17] operators and artillery. Our war correspondent Alexander
[00:10:20] Katsuba reports on the tactics of the fighters.
[00:10:23] Go!
[00:10:31] A few meters to the enemy's position across the field are the most
[00:10:35] difficult.
[00:10:43] Soldiers of the reconnaissance unit of the Center Group of Forces are preparing for
[00:10:47] an assault on a specially fortified area of Ukrainian Armed Forces militants. On
[00:10:50] the approaches, they no longer allow them to specifically approach them,
[00:10:54] uh-huh. Already directly in the settlement, it's easier there, it's
[00:10:58] easier to dig in, easier to move further, so to speak,
[00:11:01] a bridgehead is being created for further
[00:11:03] offensives.
[00:11:07] Attack aircraft advance under the cover of attack drones,
[00:11:10] in the sky, aerial scouts help artillery break up
[00:11:14] enemy firing points, guide our fighters.
[00:11:18] The enemy clings to their lines, a swarm of different caliber
[00:11:21] drones overhead, you just have to shoot them down.
[00:12:25] to save a person, you literally need to provide help in the first hours, so the evacuation
[00:12:29] group works very quickly, we try to work quickly,
[00:12:32] we usually take with us a huge,
[00:12:35] huge amount of means to stop bleeding, fighters of the Center
[00:12:39] group are advancing on Dobropolye from several sides, fighting is already in
[00:12:42] urban areas, the success of the advance largely depends on
[00:12:46] the coordination of assault units, so training at
[00:12:49] the training ground every day. Alexander Katsuba, Alexander Malyshev,
[00:12:53] Vesti Dobropolskaya. Management.
[00:12:57] Germany is preparing men for war, as Berlinin
[00:13:00] Morgenpost writes, even those who do not want to serve in
[00:13:04] the Bundeswehr have begun to be called up for army medical examinations. Since this year,
[00:13:07] all citizens of Germany aged 18 are required to
[00:13:10] fill out a questionnaire about their health, education, and willingness
[00:13:13] to serve. Earlier, German media reported that the authorities are preparing
[00:13:17] hospitals for mass admission of wounded in case of war. In
[00:13:20] Great Britain, they also urge to prepare for combat operations and
[00:13:23] stock up on provisions.
[00:13:26] Mass riots broke out in The Hague during a rally against
[00:13:30] the migration policy of
[00:13:31] the Netherlands.
[00:13:39] The initial demonstration was peaceful. The organizers
[00:13:42] planned to march through the city center, but representatives of
[00:13:45] the far-right began to chant slogans in the crowd and
[00:13:49] demand the deportation of all migrants from the country. Flares
[00:13:52] and smoke bombs were thrown at the police. Sochi,
[00:14:35] roads and
[00:14:36] underpasses
[00:14:41] were flooded, cars floated away, how the resort city is coping with the elements, Alexander
[00:14:42] Kudryavtsev.
[00:14:46] In just a few hours of torrential tropical rain, the streets of Sochi
[00:14:49] turned into real rivers. Drivers, to help others
[00:14:52] find a safe route, began actively.
[00:15:01] Some streets went so far under water that parked cars were half
[00:15:05] submerged in the stream, due to the squally wind, several reports of
[00:15:08] damaged cars as a result of falling trees were received by the unified dispatch
[00:15:12] service, pedestrians also had a hard time, sidewalks and
[00:15:15] underpasses were flooded. I just don't
[00:15:18] understand how to cross the road, well,
[00:15:20] what, just like that and
[00:15:24] as if.
[00:15:37] to control the situation and reported that the peak of the cyclone has already passed, utilities
[00:15:41] are eliminating the consequences of the floods, a storm warning remains in
[00:15:44] Sochi, heavy rains and thunderstorms are expected until the end of the weekend.
[00:15:48] Alexander Kudrevtsev, Vesti.
[00:15:51] Vesti, follow the developments, stay with us on Russia Channel.
[00:24:50] as well as bus stops. The main feature is seamless
[00:24:53] transfers. Oksana Maximova on the prospects
[00:24:57] for passengers.
[00:24:59] This is not just a new station, it's a modern transport hub on the border of
[00:25:03] Khoroshevsky and Presnensky districts. The construction of the largest Moscow
[00:25:06] urban railway station Begovaya has entered the final stretch,
[00:25:09] 70% complete. The station will combine convenient
[00:25:13] transfers, a metro line and two lines of the Moscow Central
[00:25:17] Diameters. More than 2,000 residents
[00:25:20] of the adjacent districts to the Moscow urban
[00:25:23] railway station Begovaya will receive comfortable, convenient and fast
[00:25:26] transfers between different types of transport. Begovaya station is being built
[00:25:30] on the site of the old platform of the same name. For almost 80 years it was a stop for
[00:25:34] suburban trains of the Belorussko-Savyolovsky direction towards Odintsovo, Lobnya.
[00:25:38] Now it's MCD-1. After reconstruction, another new
[00:25:41] station will appear here, MCD-4 of the Kaluzhsko-Nizhny Novgorod diameter to
[00:25:45] Aprelevka railway, and the so-called Concourse, a spacious
[00:25:49] warm hall above the tracks, will connect all central diameters with
[00:25:52] the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya metro line and ground transport, due to
[00:25:56] the fact that we have everything in one place, we can move in this warm circuit,
[00:25:59] saving time on transfers, for example,
[00:26:02] metro to MCD-1 and MCD-4, sometimes up to
[00:26:06] five times. As Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in Messenger Max, transfers between the first and fourth
[00:26:09] diameters at the station will be
[00:26:12] cross-platform, that is, to get from one to another, from
[00:26:16] Aprelevka to Lobnya, you just need to cross to the opposite
[00:26:19] side of the same platform. The total travel time saved is
[00:26:23] half an hour. We travel from Ochakovo to
[00:26:26] Belorusskaya, and then we immediately got off, everything is convenient
[00:26:29] here, less walking and comfortable. Works are almost
[00:26:33] completed in the bright atrium with a unified system of transitions, nine
[00:26:37] escalators and five lifts for a barrier-free environment are being installed, in the hall
[00:26:40] there will be ticket offices, navigation boards, passenger lounges,
[00:26:43] cafes, the transport scheme around the stations will change.
[00:26:47] The public transport stop is planned to be moved close to
[00:26:50] the station building. Passengers will not need to go outside, directly
[00:26:54] from the hidden MCD platform, they will get to
[00:26:57] the bus doors, the transfer will take less than a minute.
[00:27:01] After modernization. The residents of Moscow and the nearest Moscow region will find it easier
[00:27:05] to get to the Botkin Multifunctional Clinical Center and the Central
[00:27:08] Moscow Hippodrome. The Begovaya city station is planned to
[00:27:12] open at the end of this year. Oksana Maximova, Andrey
[00:27:15] Lapidus, Ksenia Sokolova, Polina Dolgova,
[00:27:17] Vesti. Almost 45 million
[00:27:20] sparrows live in Russia. Scientists found this out thanks to the sparrow
[00:27:24] census, which took place across the country this summer. They learned not only
[00:27:28] the number of feathered friends, but also that in some regions the sparrow is
[00:27:31] disappearing.
[00:27:39] neighbors of city dwellers, today have imperceptibly disappeared from many courtyards of
[00:27:42] Novosibirsk, back in the late last century sparrows were
[00:27:45] everywhere, now they have disappeared, where, why,
[00:27:48] the question has long bothered Lyudmila Budneva, she has been observing birds since
[00:27:52] childhood, when she learned that a large sparrow census was underway in the country, she
[00:27:55] decided to become one of the project coordinators. This
[00:27:59] synanthropic species, especially house sparrows, they are very... attached to
[00:28:03] us, so yes, we need to help them, my relatives in
[00:28:06] other regions also try to count
[00:28:09] sparrows. Everything in nature is closely interconnected, the reduction
[00:28:13] in the sparrow population, Lyudmila fears, will inevitably affect
[00:28:16] the ecology, without living hunters, pests, it will often be necessary to fight them
[00:28:20] with pesticides. China learned this lesson well many years ago. In this country, sparrows were declared
[00:28:24] enemies of the people and were massively
[00:28:27] destroyed to save the harvest. As a result, more
[00:28:31] harm was done by the growth of pests. In Russia, no such
[00:28:34] hunt has been declared, but this August, during the census in
[00:28:37] the region, only 1,500 birds were counted. We
[00:28:41] decided to conduct an experiment, went to the park and with a huge number of
[00:28:45] pigeons, found only one sparrow. We were alarmed, but
[00:28:48] an expert suggested a place where there are many more sparrows.
[00:28:52] It turned out they live where there are feeders and a special grass,
[00:28:55] sparrow buckwheat, the birds' favorite treat. In this yard, everything
[00:28:59] coincided. We counted 15 house sparrows. More than in the
[00:29:03] park, but still less than a few years ago. This is how enthusiasts
[00:29:06] across Russia collect data on birds, systematic measurements
[00:29:10] will help scientists see the full picture. The problem of
[00:29:13] assessing the number of wild animals is one of the most
[00:29:16] pressing and unresolved for humanity. Such events
[00:29:20] are necessary so that people look around them,
[00:29:23] see that there are still living creatures around them. The census
[00:29:27] is on the website Sparrows on Bushes. Anyone interested in
[00:29:30] what processes are happening in urban nature can become
[00:29:34] part of a large study. Alina Tantza, Ivan Osintsev, Sergey Radaev, Vesti
[00:29:38] Novosibirsk. Berry glades, a rich
[00:29:41] harvest of lingonberries in Magadan, despite the cold summer, there are
[00:29:45] so many that northerners literally scoop up forest gifts in
[00:29:48] buckets and scoops. Report by Lyudmila
[00:29:51] Shcherbakova.
[00:29:54] In the forests of the Olsky district of Magadan region, active
[00:29:57] lingonberry picking has begun. The berry is collected by entire families,
[00:30:00] first, it's safer. A bear is unlikely to come out to a
[00:30:04] large company, and secondly, the process is faster
[00:30:07] this way. This year it's a bit later, but it has
[00:30:11] ripened, it's dry,
[00:30:14] large, already ripe, gained
[00:30:17] flavor and color, the lingonberry is
[00:30:20] perfect, there are lingonberries, lingonberries are collected in the forests near Magadan
[00:30:24] 2 weeks later than usual, the summer on the region's coast was
[00:30:27] cool and the berry did not ripen by the due date at the end of
[00:30:31] August. Nick is collected by hand and with these special
[00:30:35] scoops. The berry is now ripe and quite large, you can
[00:30:38] collect up to 10 liters a day. Lingonberry is considered
[00:30:42] very useful, it contains a lot of vitamin C, so many residents of
[00:30:45] the region try to stock up on it thoroughly. The berry is
[00:30:49] frozen, and then used throughout the long and
[00:30:53] cold northern winter. We make compotes,
[00:30:56] we make lingonberry
[00:30:59] pies or lingonberry biscuits.
[00:31:03] Oh, very tasty, enough for winter for a long time, and
[00:31:06] how much do you need to collect to last for winter? Well, 20
[00:31:09] liters is enough for me, at the same time in
[00:31:12] Magadan forests the mushroom picking season is ending, you have to
[00:31:15] hunt for them, mushroom pickers walk kilometers of taiga
[00:31:19] in search of boletes and aspens,
[00:31:22] boletes grow over there on the road, it seems,
[00:31:25] aspens, under aspens, they are under
[00:31:27] bushes, under trees, they can
[00:31:30] just grow anywhere here, the period of collecting wild plants in Magadan
[00:31:34] forests now depends exclusively on
[00:31:37] the weather, there are more mushrooms after
[00:31:40] rains, but any frosts are deadly for them.
[00:31:44] Lingonberries are collected even frozen, they don't get worse from
[00:31:47] that, the main thing is that snow doesn't fall too
[00:31:51] early in these places. Lyudmila Cherbakova, Alexey Gilyov, Vesti
[00:31:54] Magadan. About the main events of the last
[00:31:58] seven days, Vesti Nedeli with Evgeny Popov. Watch
[00:32:01] today at 8:00 PM. How did it happen that partisans in sandals
[00:32:16] control global oil supplies?
[00:32:19] Where did the Houthis come from and why
[00:32:23] could no one conquer Yemen?
[00:32:26] This is a war in which Egypt suffered the greatest losses in its
[00:32:30] history. The US is stunned by diesel
[00:32:33] prices. American energy
[00:32:37] independence ends where the world market sets the
[00:32:40] rules. What do I think about prices?
[00:32:44] Economy.
[00:32:51] Millions of people have to choose between
[00:32:55] food, housing and travel. What
[00:32:58] next with what oil prices?
[00:33:01] Moscow is coming down. And I want to tell them: let's
[00:33:05] live in peace, otherwise we will also have
[00:33:08] to answer,
[00:33:13] we are cutting off Ukraine from supplies. From
[00:33:15] Europe.
[00:33:18] Russia did it. Russia made a technological breakthrough.
[00:33:22] Rare footage of S-300 at the front. Just press two buttons,
[00:33:26] that's it. The rocket
[00:33:27] is gone.
[00:33:30] Russia's shield in Grigory Vdovin's report. One
[00:33:33] launcher - four missiles, but there is more than
[00:33:37] one such launcher here. Who stole 27 billion dollars
[00:33:40] of Western aid. Deficit,
[00:33:42] cosmic. Between us, they say. Western leaders are all
[00:33:46] one team, they want
[00:33:49] money. The escape of Prosecutor General
[00:33:52] Kravchenko and his young
[00:33:54] wife.
[00:33:57] How Zelensky almost destroyed Kyiv. He demanded
[00:34:01] to blow up bridges, he demanded to blow up subway stations.
[00:34:04] Mecklenburg is ditching Merz. I was elected for
[00:34:08] 4 years. And who does Lubmin choose, where
[00:34:11] Nord Stream is idle. We need to bring those here for excursions.
