[00:01:30] Merz is being decided now in Berlin, another important state in [00:01:33] Germany. Why do Germans want to change [00:01:35] power? [00:01:40] What angered the residents of Rennes, France, so much? The protest [00:01:43] there turned into a fight. [00:01:47] How can Trump and Macron seriously quarrel? Who will get [00:01:50] the islands in the Atlantic Ocean? Why [00:01:54] was the capital of Argentina - [00:01:56] Buenos Aires - left without power? And what caused the major [00:02:00] fire in the Thai subway? [00:02:12] So, there are only a few hours left until the polling [00:02:16] stations close. In the regions of the Far East, Siberia, and the Urals, votes [00:02:19] are already being counted, as in the Donetsk and Luhansk People's [00:02:23] Republics, where polling stations worked on a reduced schedule due to [00:02:26] the risk of AFU strikes. As of this minute, voter turnout has exceeded. [00:05:12] the entire electoral process has a special responsibility, it is no coincidence [00:05:16] that President Putin addressed the country three times, [00:05:20] first saying that the elections should be transparent and [00:05:23] fair, then he said it was extremely important that a full-fledged [00:05:26] dialogue took place, and already at the end he addressed us, we all [00:05:30] are obliged to work for victory, our [00:05:33] team from the first day and today [00:05:36] continues to work for victory, [00:05:39] today the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Leonid Slutsky, also voted. He came to [00:05:43] the polling station with his mother, according to [00:05:46] him, this is a long-standing family tradition. [00:05:50] it is significant for me today to cast my [00:05:54] vote with my mother, this is a tradition, ever since I [00:05:57] first voted in eighty- eighth year for those who [00:06:01] subsequently became People's Deputies of the USSR. Time [00:06:05] has passed, another country, a country that [00:06:09] is experiencing, I love to talk about it, because... Yes, so, [00:06:13] the main moment of truth in our recent [00:06:15] history. The traditional way [00:06:19] to vote using a paper ballot was also chosen by the governor of the Moscow [00:06:23] region, Andrey Vorobyov, here's how he [00:06:26] described the importance and necessity [00:06:29] of coming to the polling stations. [00:06:32] Today are elections, we came, we are voting according to [00:06:35] the traditional scheme, part of the family votes through [00:06:39] public services, so I want to thank. [00:07:13] Tragic news came from the Kherson region, where a Ukrainian drone hit [00:07:16] a bus. Tatyana, what is known about this? Yes, today as a [00:07:20] result of a targeted attack by a Ukrainian drone on [00:07:24] a civilian bus in the Kherson region, two people [00:07:27] died, and one of the deceased was a member of the precinct [00:07:31] election commission, Olga Demyanenko. She worked in [00:07:34] the electoral system since 2023. [00:07:37] During this election campaign, she actively participated in [00:07:40] the project of targeted informing of voters in conducting [00:07:44] early voting, she visited many of her neighbors, fellow citizens, compatriots, [00:07:47] very honestly, responsibly, bravely fulfilled her duty, the [00:07:51] CEC expressed deep condolences to the relatives, friends [00:07:54] and colleagues of Olga Demyanenko, in memory of the deceased, a minute [00:07:57] of silence [00:07:59] was announced at the CEC. [00:08:02] vile, cowardly, [00:08:04] Bandera freaks, [00:08:07] in diapers, who are afraid to fight [00:08:10] like real men, [00:09:12] an explosion woke up the residents of Pervopokrovsk early this morning, people ran out into [00:09:16] the street, at the exit from the village, after a drone attack, a passenger [00:09:20] bus was burning. The drone's damaging elements crumbled [00:09:23] the asphalt, this is the impact site, but the burning bus continued to [00:09:27] move by inertia for some time, the impact hit the side, so the driver was not [00:09:31] seriously injured, he managed to keep the car on the road, and also helped his [00:09:34] passengers get out of the cabin. At the time of the impact, there were no [00:09:38] less than ten people on the bus, all of them were going to the field to harvest [00:09:41] vegetables. Unfortunately, as a result of the attack, two people [00:09:45] died, four people are in the hospital with [00:09:48] injuries of moderate and severe severity. [00:09:52] Among the dead is sixty-year-old Olga Demyanenko, a member of the local [00:09:55] polling station, kind and active, that's how her [00:09:59] colleagues remembered her, they have been together since the referendum, during this [00:10:02] time they have become one big family. Olga Demyanenko's daughter, [00:10:05] Evgenia Gurchik, also participated in the elections. Despite [00:10:09] the desire of the Kyiv regime, the tragedy did not scare them. [00:10:14] all commissions went to their workplaces, [00:10:18] everyone is grieving, but they continue their work, [00:10:22] and we also gave, despite... despite all [00:10:25] the threats, despite all the intimidation, in [00:10:28] such a cruel, simple way, [00:10:32] that they are trying to intimidate us, well, [00:10:35] it won't work. During the elections, polling stations worked in all [00:10:39] fourteen districts of the Kherson region, despite the difficult [00:10:42] operational situation, sometimes it was necessary to temporarily stop [00:10:46] work due to raids by Ukrainian drones. [00:10:49] The core of the commission members was created back [00:10:52] in twenty-third year, these are people who have gone through more than one [00:10:56] election campaign with us, [00:10:59] they very worthily, steadfastly [00:11:02] withstand such psychological, emotional [00:11:05] pressure on themselves. Now the election commission of the Kherson region [00:11:09] has already begun counting votes and summing up the election results. It is noted that [00:11:13] despite the attacks and provocations from the Kyiv regime, voter turnout [00:11:17] among the residents of the region is very high. Leonid Muravyov and Andrey [00:11:21] Potapov, Vesti Kherson region. [00:11:25] Another attack aimed at disrupting the elections in the border regions in the Zaporozhye [00:11:29] region, there the AFU struck a school where there was [00:11:32] a polling station, the left wing received serious damage, [00:11:35] walls collapsed, the roof, windows were blown out there. This is [00:11:38] an active school, about 200 children study in it, no one [00:11:42] was injured, there were no people in the building at that moment. Early [00:11:45] voting took place here and by the time of the attack it had already [00:11:49] finished. And despite the tense situation, [00:11:53] residents of the DPR are actively participating in the elections, they are taking [00:11:57] part in them for the first time, the intensity of AFU [00:12:00] increased, and despite all this, [00:12:04] people are going to the polling stations and casting [00:12:07] their votes. Report by Vitaly Starushchenko. [00:12:11] Cities of the Donetsk People's Republic are attacked by enemy UAVs [00:12:14] daily. In Gorlovka, on the second day of voting, a passenger [00:12:18] two children, were [00:12:22] injured. [00:12:55] Residents of Mariupol also feel part of a big family, they went to vote even after being left without electricity after [00:12:59] another AFU strike on [00:13:03] the Republic's energy system. Thanks to the fact that Russian troops are moving [00:13:06] the front, evacuated residents of Krasny Liman also got the opportunity to vote. [00:13:10] Veterans of combat operations also cast their votes. For our region, this [00:13:14] is very important, as these are the first [00:13:17] elections that we have in the region for the [00:13:20] State Duma, and we are probably creating our [00:13:24] bright future here. At one of the polling stations in Donetsk, [00:13:28] the head of the republic made his choice, the situation here is stable [00:13:31] and tense, and residents have indeed gotten used [00:13:35] to a lot, but to pass by such [00:13:38] a significant, I would say, fateful [00:13:42] event, of course we could not and do not, here we [00:13:45] indeed see great consciousness [00:13:49] of our compatriots, because we [00:13:52] understand how important this is. The region's [00:13:55] elections for deputies of the State [00:13:59] запугать обстрелами, ударами по энергетике и жилым домам, не [00:14:02] who made their choice back in [00:14:06] Starushchenko and Anton Khobotov, Vesti [00:14:10] Donetsk. [00:14:13] An uninterrupted series of air strikes at these moments is shaking the Ukrainian [00:14:17] capital and the Kyiv region. Military targets in the rear are being hit by [00:14:20] jet drones and cruise [00:14:23] alert has been declared again in Kyiv. These shots literally just reached [00:14:27] our newsroom. It is clearly visible that the militants tried to shoot down [00:14:31] Geran-5 with an anti-aircraft [00:14:35] and as a result could have fallen on a residential area. Going [00:14:38] down. [00:14:39] Right [00:14:44] now, the sky over the Ukrainian capital is being covered by thick smoke. The authorities [00:14:47] recommend residents close windows and limit their time [00:14:51] outdoors. At night, according to our Ministry of Defense, Russian [00:14:55] military forces destroyed firepoint company warehouses, where [00:14:58] the Ukrainian Armed Forces stored starter boosters for long-range [00:15:02] UAVs. In Nikopol - this is the Dnipropetrovsk region - [00:15:05] a dairy plant was hit, which was used for logistical [00:15:09] purposes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

About how the centuries-old traditions of Don [00:32:55] Cossacks were integrated into the modern electoral process, [00:32:59] Veronika Bogma. [00:33:01] The peculiarity of elections on the Don is that the tradition of elected power itself [00:33:05] existed here long before the current electoral system. [00:33:09] People voted here when there wasn't even the concept of a polling [00:33:12] station. In Konstantinovskiy district.

Migrants from Germany, they have lived on the Don for 3 years, [00:34:47] recently became Russians, that's how wonderful they are here [00:34:51] in the khutor, hardworking people, [00:34:54] hardworking, and this is also in line with tradition, the Don has long [00:34:58] welcomed representatives of various peoples, from here came the Gruzinovs, [00:35:01] Kalmykovs, Bashkirovs, Abramovs, here it has always been [00:35:04] more important not where a person came from, but whether he became one of them? Raise [00:35:08] children here, work on this land, live by its [00:35:10] concerns, Veronika Bog, my Dorin, Vladimir Shemakov and Denis Denisov [00:35:14] Vesti. Rostov region.

Besides [00:35:25] Minsk, you can cast your vote in Brest, Vitebsk, Gomel, [00:35:28] Grodno, Mogilev and Bobruisk. In Italy, [00:35:31] voter activity and a warm atmosphere at the polling stations are noted. [00:35:35] There are four of them in total, besides Rome, also in Milan, Genoa and Palermo. In [00:35:39] the capital, voting takes place in the winter garden, the building of the diplomatic mission. [00:35:42] The ambassador noted that there were signals about possible attempts to disrupt the elections, [00:35:46] but in the end everything was organized at a high [00:35:49] level. And in Belgium, Russian citizens are actively coming to [00:35:52] the polling station, even despite the rainy weather, the car-free [00:35:55] day announced in Brussels. [00:35:59] Unfortunately, the information background in Belgium around [00:36:02] the Russian parliamentary elections, as in most [00:36:06] EU countries, is extremely [00:36:07] negative. Mainstream media are trying [00:36:11] to demonize and discredit the electoral [00:36:14] processes in our country, clearly working off a political [00:36:17] order, for our part, we are doing everything possible to [00:36:21] promote the truth about the State Duma [00:36:24] elections. [00:36:27] 50 polling stations opened for the elections in Abkhazia, this is [00:36:31] a record number for Russian elections abroad. Also, more than 100 [00:36:34] голосовании задействовано более 100 выездных комиссий с переносными [00:36:38] voting, it is possible to take part in the elections even in remote [00:36:41] corners of the republic, many polling stations are deployed in [00:36:44] places of mass tourist accommodation, such as large hotels, [00:36:48] sanatoriums, boarding houses. At checkpoints in Transnistria, [00:36:51] 17 were opened, more than [00:36:54] 1500 people voted. In many places they stood there. [00:36:58] At the same time, in Moldova, the authorities allowed only [00:37:01] one polling station to open. [00:37:05] Elections are being held today in Germany, where in two regions [00:37:08] deputies of local parliaments are being elected. Residents of Berlin and [00:37:11] the state of Mecklenburg, the front part, are practically deciding [00:37:15] the fate of their chancellor. In case of a new devastating defeat of [00:37:18] the CDU party, there will be little chance [00:37:22] for Merkel to retain power. The mood of voters is influenced by record [00:37:25] fuel prices and increasing military hysteria. Our correspondent, [00:37:29] Anastasia Popova, is now connecting with us from Schwerin, [00:37:33] which is in northern Germany. Anastasia, hello, how is [00:37:36] your voting going? A lot is being decided [00:37:40] today. [00:37:41] Hello, well, indeed, so far [00:37:44] the voting is going quite actively, apparently, the stakes [00:37:48] are high, and people understand this, compared to the elections [00:37:51] five years ago, the turnout is much higher, at [00:37:55] approximately. The hour was more than 40%. Well, [00:37:58] who is in this race? Now, one of the main [00:38:02] presidents, this is the current [00:38:05] prime minister of the state, [00:38:09] she has already arrived here [00:38:12] from behind, this is the very parliament for [00:38:16] which the struggle is going on, here she is going to [00:38:19] meet the preliminary results, these are exit polls [00:38:22] that will be known in about an hour, and here [00:38:26] she is already preparing to celebrate either victory, or at least [00:38:30] success, because big bets were placed on her [00:38:33] precisely so that she would curb the advance of the AfD [00:38:36] throughout the country. Her tactics were very simple, she tried to maximally [00:38:40] abstract herself from Chancellor Merkel, from the ruling coalition, due to [00:38:44] her charisma, due to the fact that she previously advocated [00:38:48] for cheap energy, for the promotion [00:38:51] of northern flows, here the voters did not forget this, although, of course, [00:38:54] she has now changed her rhetoric, but those decisions of hers. [00:39:17] Many people came up to me and said that they hoped for a favorable [00:39:20] outcome, that they supported me, and not only traditional [00:39:24] SPD voters, for this I can only very, very. [00:40:57] half of Germans believe that the chancellor should resign by the end of this year, [00:41:01] although his term expires only in 2 years. He himself is still [00:41:05] wondering what to do. Most likely, there will be a strong [00:41:08] defeat here, and here in Berlin he will also [00:41:11] suffer this defeat for the entire party, whose rating has already fallen to [00:41:15] 18% throughout the country, while the rating of [00:41:18] Alternative for Germany has risen to about 30%. The difference [00:41:21] is visible, these anti-chancellor sentiments, [00:41:25] of course, push for him to... force him [00:41:28] to leave, but there is no replacement for him yet, and Alternative for Germany, of course, [00:41:31] does not get enough votes to take the helm, but nevertheless [00:41:35] the pressure on Merkel is enormous and today it will also be [00:41:39] decided what to do next, but after the failed elections in [00:41:42] Saxony-Anhalt, he has already said that he will do everything to promote [00:41:46] the current policy, as he considers it correct, let's see what happens this [00:41:50] time. Anastasia, thank you, our colleague [00:41:53] Anastasia Popova was with us live from Germany, where today elections are being held in two federal states [00:41:57] for local parliaments, but the fate of the ruling [00:42:00] chancellor's coalition is practically being decided. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron [00:42:03] are just a step away from a major quarrel. The actions of the French [00:42:07] president caused new territorial [00:42:11] claims from his American counterpart. On social networks, Trump [00:42:14] expanded the total area of the USA, completely [00:42:17] coloring North America in national colors. [00:42:21] Among the many states that, in his opinion, should have [00:42:24] become part of the United States, was also the archipelago [00:42:28] of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, an overseas community [00:42:31] of France, located on small islands in the Atlantic [00:42:35] Ocean. Coincidentally or not, the president. [00:42:39] On the highway near Chita, snow fell, as in winter, the roads were covered with ice. In Buryatia, thunderstorms caused two fires in private [00:43:50] houses, it was not possible to save the housing. On the Kuril Islands, the volcano [00:43:54] Chikurachki woke up, a [00:43:57] column of ash and steam rises high into the sky, [00:44:01] there is no threat to nearby settlements. In Kamchatka, [00:44:04] an unusual wavy [00:44:07] cloud was noticed over the Avachinsky volcano. This unusual [00:44:10] atmospheric phenomenon is the result of increased moisture content in [00:44:13] the air and the approach of an atmospheric [00:44:16] front. Next, briefly about what else [00:44:19] our big [00:44:21] country is living for. In Tuva, camels are being driven [00:44:24] from pastures to [00:44:29] winter parking. Angela Tere plunged into the life of [00:44:32] shepherds and fed the ships of the desert. [00:44:35] The animal is hardy, it tolerates [00:44:38] our Tuvan climate well, but in winter, [00:44:41] little camels need special care, and of course, they are not [00:44:45] averse to eating sweets. [00:44:48] In total, there are about 250 [00:44:51] camels in the republic, from which wool and milk are obtained. [00:44:55] The shepherds' day begins with the first rays of the sun and [00:44:58] does not end until deep night. The animals need [00:45:02] not only careful care, but also protection from predators, [00:45:05] wolves and... a large company [00:45:08] will most likely not dare to go [00:45:14] out into the bear, and secondly, [00:45:19] the process goes faster, Lyudmila Shcherbakova [00:45:22] joined him, by the way. Lingonberries are collected by hand [00:45:25] and with these special scoops, [00:45:30] the berry is now ripe and quite large, you can collect [00:45:34] up to 10 liters a day. [00:45:37] This year the lingonberry season started two weeks later [00:45:40] than usual due to the cool summer, but according to local residents, [00:45:44] this did not affect the quality of the lingonberry [00:45:47] in any way. These are the ones, well, [00:45:50] it has arrived, [00:45:53] it is dry, [00:45:56] large, already [00:45:59] ripe, has gained taste and [00:46:02] color, the lingonberry is ideal, there are lingonberries. [00:46:05] Now we return to the main [00:46:07] topic. In the Kherson region, where the counting [00:46:19] of votes has already begun, the turnout exceeded [00:46:23] 74%. In the LPR, it was 79%, [00:46:26] in the Donetsk People's Republic, it was as high as [00:46:29] 81%. And if we talk about the whole country, then at [00:46:33] this moment this indicator is confidently approaching [00:46:36] 55%. Meanwhile, on the federal platform [00:46:39] for remote electronic voting, the turnout from the number of registered [00:46:43] participants has already reached 90%. More than [00:46:46] 3,600,000 Russians [00:46:49] cast their votes online. The first results of the elections [00:46:54] and the main events of the last seven days in Vesti Nedeli [00:46:58] with Yevgeny Popov. Watch at 8:00 PM. [00:47:12] How did it happen that partisans in sandals control global oil [00:47:16] supplies? [00:47:19] Where did the Houthis come from and why Yemen no one? [00:47:52] has to choose between food, housing and travel, what's [00:47:56] next, from what oil price Moscow proceeds, I just [00:47:59] want to tell them, let's live in peace, [00:48:03] otherwise we will also have to [00:48:05] answer, [00:48:08] cut off Ukraine from supplies from [00:48:11] Europe, [00:48:15] Russia did, Russia made a technological [00:48:18] breakthrough, rare footage of S-300s at the front, this is how [00:48:21] the buttons are... [00:48:53] How Zelensky almost destroyed Kyiv? He demanded [00:48:57] to blow up bridges, he demanded to blow up subway stations. [00:49:01] Mecklenburg merges Merkel. I am elected [00:49:04] for 4 years. And who does Lubmin choose, where [00:49:07] the northern stream is idle. Those who vote for Merkel should be brought here [00:49:11] for excursions, and then they are surprised by the amounts in [00:49:14] their bills. Secret nuclear walls [00:49:16] of China. [00:49:22] not only a sword soaring in the blue sky, but also a shield hidden [00:49:25] deep in the bowels. Beijing for the first time showed its [00:49:28] arsenals. It was built by order of Mao [00:49:32] Zedong in case of a nuclear strike. Report from [00:49:35] the Celestial Empire. And most importantly, election results.
