[00:00:55] What they are saying and writing about, by this minute, we have gathered the main points on
[00:00:59] the air. Olga Armyakova is in the studio.
[00:01:01] Hello.
[00:01:07] Every second person has already made their choice. This is
[00:01:11] important for the country, for everyone. Despite the
[00:01:14] danger, the historical region is voting. This is our homeland, we must be
[00:01:18] with everyone. In the Far East, the third election day
[00:01:22] is approaching the equator, we are waiting for a live broadcast from
[00:01:24] Primorye.
[00:01:27] Fighting in the urban areas of Dobropolye. Go!
[00:01:33] The Center group surrounds a powerful fortified area of the AFU. Our
[00:01:37] Geraniums cut off enemy supplies and strike at Ukrainian
[00:01:40] rear areas.
[00:01:43] How European hawks are trying to turn the Ukrainian conflict into a direct
[00:01:47] confrontation between Russia and NATO.
[00:01:50] Someone has clearly lost their mind. This is not our war and not NATO's
[00:01:53] war. The West will not be able to defeat Moscow on the battlefield.
[00:01:57] will not succeed.
[00:02:00] Unfreezing assets, lifting the naval blockade. Tehran has handed
[00:02:03] Washington its peace terms. What will Trump's
[00:02:06] answer be?
[00:02:09] And also a march of anger in Argentina. Trade unions are protesting
[00:02:11] that their salaries are not even enough for food, and
[00:02:15] a noisy demonstration in The Hague demanding the deportation of all migrants.
[00:02:31] Elections in Russia are entering the home stretch: today is the main of the three days
[00:02:34] of voting, the turnout by this minute across the country is just over
[00:02:38] 45%, twice as high in the electronic system
[00:02:41] at 82%. And this is almost 6 million votes,
[00:02:45] the best figure in the entire history of online elections. At the same time,
[00:02:48] as noted by the Central Election Commission, the overwhelming majority of Russians
[00:02:52] still prefer the usual form of voting at the polling
[00:02:55] station. Well, the Far East will be the first to start
[00:02:59] processing ballots and counting votes. Ksenia
[00:03:02] Kolchina is live from Primorye. Ksenia, hello, it's
[00:03:05] already 4 PM there, what turnout data can you announce
[00:03:09] and how actively are people going to the polling
[00:03:12] stations today?
[00:03:16] Hello, Olga, yes, another 4 hours and the polling stations in
[00:03:20] Primorsky Krai will close and the three-day voting
[00:03:23] process will end. I want to say that Primorsky Krai shows excellent
[00:03:27] figures, for now I can confidently announce the turnout
[00:03:30] data for the last 2 days of voting, they amounted to almost
[00:03:34] 49%, and this is indeed remarkable
[00:03:37] indicators. I want to say that we worked at many polling
[00:03:40] stations and saw with our own eyes that these are real figures, that is,
[00:03:44] voters are indeed going to vote, members of
[00:03:47] precinct election commissions, who do not get
[00:03:50] bored, very warmly welcome them. Some approach
[00:03:54] the process very creatively, so we saw a polling station where, on their own initiative,
[00:03:58] women voters... were given white and blue chrysanthemums
[00:04:02] and red carnations in honor of the colors of the Russian
[00:04:05] flag,
[00:04:07] it is very pleasant that this year many parents take
[00:04:11] their children with them, that is, it is very cool, that is, dad, mom, for example and
[00:04:15] child,
[00:04:20] very, very measuredly, responsibly Primoryans approach
[00:04:24] the voting process, no one gives their vote
[00:04:27] thoughtlessly, we saw how long... they study
[00:04:30] information on posters about candidates for deputies, that is, no one
[00:04:34] goes to the polling stations just
[00:04:36] to tick a box.
[00:04:38] I think every person should participate in the future of their country, in
[00:04:42] their own future, in their own family. I would like to see decent people,
[00:04:46] honest and kind,
[00:04:49] who understand the situation and can
[00:04:52] take measures, indeed, to realize a better
[00:04:56] life.
[00:05:00] As for violations, the Central Election Commission previously reported that
[00:05:03] international observers have so far identified only three, they
[00:05:06] were promptly eliminated. What assessments do the observers who
[00:05:10] work in the Far East give and what kind? Olga,
[00:05:12] yes,
[00:05:17] international observers from Mozambique, Armenia and Italy worked
[00:05:21] in Primorsky Krai. In Khabarovsk Krai, electoral
[00:05:25] experts from Mexico, Tanzania, Indonesia and
[00:05:28] several South American countries are working. How do they assess
[00:05:32] the electoral
[00:05:33] listen.
[00:05:37] The most important thing I observe here is transparency, which is among
[00:05:40] Russia's top priorities. I see that Russia is doing everything at a high
[00:05:44] level. And I also want to note the work of
[00:05:47] volunteers.
[00:05:52] According to the Central Election Commission, Primorsky Krai is one of the most
[00:05:55] active, actively voting regions not
[00:05:59] only in the Far East, but in Russia. We will definitely be
[00:06:02] present at the closing of the polling stations, at the counting of ballots, we will report the first
[00:06:05] figures. Olga. Yes, Ksenia, thank you, and there are only 4
[00:06:09] hours left until then. About the latest data.
[00:06:12] in the Far East, Ksenia Kolchina. Well, the election
[00:06:15] marathon will end in Kaliningrad after 9
[00:06:19] PM Moscow time, the Central Election Commission will be able to announce the first
[00:06:23] results of the elections to the State Duma.
[00:06:26] In the DPR, due to AFU attacks on civilian objects, the operating hours of
[00:06:30] polling stations have been reduced. Today they are open until 2
[00:06:34] PM for security reasons. At the same time, turnout in the republic has already reached
[00:06:38] 80%. For the residents of our historical
[00:06:41] regions, these elections are especially important, they are voting for State Duma
[00:06:44] deputies for the first time, so in the Zaporizhzhia
[00:06:47] region, turnout has already reached 73%. In
[00:06:50] Kherson region and the LPR, two-thirds of citizens
[00:06:54] have exercised their right to vote. About how they vote
[00:06:57] despite the danger, a report from Lugansk by Darya
[00:07:00] Lukyanova.
[00:07:03] The AFU continue attempts to destabilize the situation, striking
[00:07:06] at the communal and civilian infrastructure of the region.
[00:07:09] Despite this, residents continue to go vote.
[00:08:12] Yes, I vote, every polling station in the republic has been equipped for
[00:08:16] residents with disabilities. Each polling station
[00:08:20] has ballots for visually impaired people, these are stencils that are placed
[00:08:23] directly on the ballot, and a person with visual impairments
[00:08:27] can read information about candidates and parties and make their
[00:08:31] choice. For people with limited mobility, special booths have been equipped, and volunteers
[00:08:34] help. There are about two hundred of them working at polling stations in the region, including
[00:08:38] students, future rescuers. Everything,
[00:08:40] I'm ready.
[00:08:45] Helping is always important, it's not
[00:08:47] something to discuss, we need to do good and help
[00:08:51] people, we will help people, then I will go and vote myself. Polling stations in the LPR
[00:08:55] will be open until 4:00 PM Moscow time. The decision to reduce
[00:08:59] the operating hours of polling stations was made to ensure the maximum
[00:09:01] security of election commission members and residents of the republic in a
[00:09:05] difficult operational situation. Darya Lukyanova, Alexey Malokhatko, Nadezhda
[00:09:09] Akuratova and Andrey Steshenko, Vesti Lugansk.
[00:09:14] Tens of thousands of Russians have already made their choice abroad, today
[00:09:18] to the sounds of the anthem, voting began in
[00:09:20] North Korea.
[00:09:28] Two polling stations are operating in Korea - in Pyongyang and
[00:09:31] Chongjin. Mobile voting has also been organized
[00:09:34] for Russian specialists of one of the joint ventures. MGIMO students
[00:09:38] voted, they are doing an internship at Kim Il Sung
[00:09:41] University. A few hours ago, a polling station opened at the
[00:09:45] embassy in Bangkok. Russians vacationing in Thailand have been coming
[00:09:48] since morning. In total, according to our Foreign Ministry, polling
[00:09:52] stations are available in 152 countries
[00:09:55] worldwide. You can vote until 8:00 PM local
[00:09:58] time. Mobile polling stations are organized at border
[00:10:02] checkpoints in the Pskov region in close proximity to
[00:10:06] the border crossing. Inside, everything is like a regular polling station: a booth,
[00:10:10] a ballot box, video surveillance.
[00:10:25] In the three Baltic states, one polling station has been organized
[00:10:29] in each, which is not very convenient, and what's more, the authorities of
[00:10:32] Latvia, as usual, create
[00:10:35] obstacles, even resembling humiliation, when one has to
[00:10:39] go through a police cordon
[00:10:41] to vote at the polling station.
[00:10:44] A large fire broke out today in Odessa after a series of Russian strikes.
[00:10:48] According to local publications, one of them hit the Kyslorodmash plant,
[00:10:51] which produced dual-use products. In the Sumy region,
[00:10:55] warehouses are burning, they were used for storing equipment and components for
[00:10:58] drones. Near Kyiv, the Fairpoint plant was hit, where
[00:11:02] military equipment and parts for Ukrainian long-range UAVs were located. And in
[00:11:06] the Zaporizhzhia region, Russian aviation struck a bridge in the area of
[00:11:09] Kamyshevakha. The crossing was used to deliver weapons and
[00:11:12] rotate AFU units. The bridge sustained serious damage,
[00:11:16] and traffic on it has been stopped. The Ukrainian air defense's ability to repel
[00:11:20] such attacks is limited by a shortage of missiles. The West admits
[00:11:23] that the limited capabilities of industry do not allow for a quick
[00:11:27] replenishment of stocks, and Ukraine is not the only one
[00:11:30] in line. Bloomberg agency writes that Washington has warned
[00:11:33] allies that deliveries of missile systems could
[00:11:36] stretch for 5 years. Deadlines are shifting for several
[00:11:40] European countries at once. There is a particular shortage of interceptors for Patriot
[00:11:44] systems. The US Permanent Representative to NATO stated that allies have
[00:11:48] money, but there is nothing to buy with it. Demand
[00:11:51] exceeds supply. Therefore, the interceptors needed by Ukraine are now
[00:11:55] being collected from foreign arsenals. Missiles have to be sought not only among NATO
[00:11:58] countries, but also outside the Euro-Atlantic
[00:12:01] space. The shortage of air defense and systematic strikes on Ukrainian
[00:12:05] rear areas have already affected the front line. Ivanovo
[00:12:07] paratroopers today paralyzed the supply of the Ukrainian garrison in
[00:12:11] the vicinity of Orekhovo. And on the Dobropolye front, units of
[00:12:14] the Center group of forces are intensifying psychological
[00:12:17] pressure on the enemy. Drone operators dropped leaflets on enemy positions
[00:12:21] calling on them to lay down their weapons and not offer resistance.
[00:12:25] from this section of the line of combat contact, a report by Alexander
[00:12:28] Katsuba.
[00:12:31] Go!
[00:12:39] A few meters to the enemy's position across the field are the most
[00:12:42] difficult.
[00:12:51] Soldiers of the reconnaissance unit of the Center group of forces are preparing.
[00:13:55] A stronghold or a village assault troops first
[00:13:59] accumulate in a hidden or secret
[00:14:02] place, and then advance from several
[00:14:05] directions simultaneously, we throw
[00:14:08] to the compound and
[00:14:12] forward, yes, rows of barbed wire, which
[00:14:15] the enemy uses to protect their defensive lines, must be
[00:14:18] passed as quickly as possible, the wire
[00:14:21] is strong, yes, yes, not steel, and it...
[00:15:27] Ukraine made a huge mistake in April 2022,
[00:15:31] a few months after the start of the conflict, when it
[00:15:35] listened.
[00:16:07] It didn't last long, the fallen hail quickly melted, but in Sochi heavy
[00:16:11] rains have been going on for two days, there are dozens of videos on social networks with
[00:16:14] the consequences of the flood after the powerful
[00:16:16] bad weather, the situation
[00:16:19] is such that
[00:16:22] lakes have appeared on some streets, car traffic is
[00:16:25] difficult, pedestrians sometimes have to cross the road knee-deep
[00:16:29] in water, and these are shots from Samara, this morning the city
[00:16:32] was enveloped in a thick fog, it was impossible to see anything even at a distance
[00:16:36] of several meters, drivers have to be extremely
[00:16:39] careful on the
[00:16:40] road,
[00:16:44] well, in our next issue: is it true that the US could have attacked
[00:16:48] an Iranian girls' school due to an artificial intelligence error?
[00:16:51] The Pentagon's investigation, after a short break we will return and tell
[00:16:55] you more, stay with
[00:16:56] us!
[00:17:04] a lot of events on which the future depends.
[00:17:09] Aviation, gasification Russia, which has
[00:17:12] the largest gas reserves in the world, observes how
[00:17:16] European leaders call them
[00:17:18] unbearable.
[00:17:20] We suffer from the consequences, fuel
[00:17:22] prices,
[00:17:25] we again felt the bitter price, but they wanted to make it
[00:17:28] unbearable, to make
[00:17:30] Russians suffer, everything will boomerang back, what other advice, to press
[00:17:34] the button we... we've been turning

[00:19:57] Develop sustainable infrastructure
[00:20:00] of the country.
[00:20:01] Launch projects.
[00:20:05] what is written here
[00:20:42] with Gigachat it's just 16 tenses
[00:20:45] Gigachat I passed everything automatically, fire, we're putting
[00:20:47] Soon we'll watch the long-awaited
[00:22:03] On air, Vesti, we continue
[00:22:09] the issue. Erroneous intelligence data, outdated images and excessive
[00:22:12] reliance on artificial intelligence became the reasons for the American strike on a school in
[00:22:16] Iranian Minab. In February, two Tomahawk missiles hit it.
[00:22:20] Over 150 people died, including 123
[00:22:23] children. The Pentagon's investigation data will be published by Bloomberg.
[00:22:27] As it turned out, when choosing a target, the military uploaded not the most
[00:22:31] up-to-date data into the system, hoping that neural networks would themselves detect
[00:22:34] the discrepancy. But this did not happen, and the school was mistaken for
[00:22:37] a military object. The price of war is also rising for the United
[00:22:41] States itself. Diesel in the country has risen to a historical
[00:22:44] high - 6.5 dollars per gallon. Just a month ago, it
[00:22:48] cost about a dollar less, and the consequences of the conflict
[00:22:51] are increasingly felt by American allies. The Washington Post
[00:22:55] writes that Saudi Arabia has faced attacks on oil
[00:22:58] infrastructure, a vital pipeline, the Houthi
[00:23:01] advance threatens routes through the Red Sea, but all requests
[00:23:05] from allied Riyadh and the Yemeni government to Washington to intervene
[00:23:09] in the fight against the Houthis remained unanswered. Among the reasons are
[00:23:13] the depletion of American ammunition stockpiles and the reluctance
[00:23:16] to open another front. Against this background, reports emerged that
[00:23:20] Tehran conveyed to Washington through Qatar its conditions
[00:23:23] for ending the war: to stop hostilities in all
[00:23:27] areas, unfreeze Iranian assets, lift the
[00:23:30] naval blockade - these are just some of them.
[00:23:34] Well, now briefly about what else the
[00:23:37] world
[00:23:38] is living with.
[00:23:43] Mass riots broke out in The Hague during a rally against
[00:23:46] the Dutch migration policy. First, demonstrations.
[00:24:20] The head of government himself later suggested on his social networks that
[00:24:24] the attacker was a drunk supporter of Orban and regretted that
[00:24:27] he had wasted a glass of good
[00:24:29] drink.
[00:24:34] Because of government policy, protests are taking place in Argentina. Thousands
[00:24:38] of people took to the streets of Buenos Aires. The demonstration was called
[00:24:41] the March of Rage. The action gathered supporters of various
[00:24:45] political views. Among the demands are higher wages,
[00:24:48] pensions, an end to mass layoffs, increased
[00:24:52] funding for the education system, and an end to all relations with
[00:24:55] the International Monetary Fund.
[00:24:59] Scientists in Bashkiria are restoring the population of the rarest
[00:25:02] Belovezhsky bison. In the herd that lives in one of
[00:25:06] the local reserves, three calves were born, so now there are already
[00:25:09] 33 individuals. In the 20th century, these animals in the region were
[00:25:13] almost completely exterminated, but they began to be returned
[00:25:16] 4 years ago. Now Bashkiria is
[00:25:20] the only place in Russia where bisons live
[00:25:23] in the wild. Report by Murat
[00:25:25] Zaripov.
[00:25:28] To see bisons so close, literally at arm's length, is great
[00:25:31] luck, but these visitors of the Muradyimovskoye gorge natural park
[00:25:35] have a different task today. If any animal needs
[00:25:38] to be taken out or caught, we will escort it through this corridor.
[00:25:42] Specialists in protected areas from Russia and Belarus are getting acquainted with
[00:25:46] the first results of the program for restoring the South Ural
[00:26:02] allow even natural park inspectors to approach them closer than
[00:26:05] 300-400 m. The free population of bisons already numbers
[00:26:08] 28 individuals, it is much more difficult to monitor them. Here is
[00:26:12] another bison, yes, the tracks of a bison are also. These are the tracks of one of
[00:26:16] the newcomers. A group of six individuals was brought from Belovezhskaya Pushcha this spring. In the
[00:26:20] Bashkir forests, the animals are only settling in and are not yet straying
[00:26:23] far from familiar places. Their exact location is
[00:26:26] tracked via satellite. We are given coordinates,
[00:26:30] we enter these coordinates into the GPS. By these
[00:26:33] GPS coordinates we calculate where they
[00:26:36] are, but we don't actually see
[00:26:40] them, but presumably it's accurate, they're there almost all the time. They are
[00:26:43] afraid to approach, they are very cautious animals. Collars with
[00:26:47] satellite sensors were put on several bisons before releasing them into
[00:26:51] the wild. You will take measurements, but satellite
[00:26:54] control alone is not enough, park inspectors almost daily
[00:26:57] drive tens of kilometers through the mountain terrain to personally
[00:27:01] track the route of the bisons' movements. All
[00:27:05] this is part of a large project to recreate the Ural bison
[00:27:08] population. More than 10 thousand years ago, these animals already lived in
[00:27:12] the Southern Urals, and now, having returned, they feel
[00:27:15] good. Exactly three calves were born in the wild population,
[00:27:18] and this means that they
[00:27:22] like these places, they have enough
[00:27:25] food, and, that is, they are well here. If

[00:27:51] come here to see the bison. At the disposal of the animals there are almost
[00:27:54] 346 hectares of protected territory, where they have no
[00:27:58] natural enemies, so the task is to create a sustainable population.
[00:28:02] In the next 3 years, it should at least double.
