[00:00:51] Hello, this is Vesti Nedeli, in the studio is Evgeny Popov, the main
[00:00:55] election results live, first in exactly
[00:00:58] 59 minutes, when the last polling station in Russia closes,
[00:01:02] we will announce the results. How the new regions are voting, attempts
[00:01:05] to disrupt elections, terrorist attacks and DDoS attacks on electronic voting,
[00:01:09] a massive drone raid deep into Russia, also
[00:01:12] an attempt to disrupt the elections. Now in detail, these and
[00:01:16] other key topics,
[00:01:18] watch.
[00:01:27] Global fuel crisis.
[00:01:32] Houthis are blocking straits.
[00:01:36] The US is shocked by diesel prices. NATO
[00:01:39] is pulling an armada of troops to Russia's borders. We
[00:01:42] just want to tell them: let's live in peace, otherwise
[00:01:46] we will also have to respond. Rare footage
[00:01:50] of S-300 in action at the front. There are many
[00:01:53] such installations here. And the only way out of Reznikovsky's
[00:01:56] Zelensky almost destroyed
[00:01:59] to blow up bridges. We are cutting off
[00:02:02] Ukraine from land
[00:02:03] borders.
[00:02:06] Russia did it. Russia made a technological
[00:02:09] breakthrough. Mecklenburg demolishes Merz. Those who
[00:02:13] for excursions, and then they are surprised
[00:02:17] by the amounts in their utility bills. Tears of Niyantsy with a view of the Nord
[00:02:20] broadcast from Germany.
[00:02:24] Report from China's nuclear
[00:02:25] Китая.
[00:02:30] To whom did Xi show the arsenals
[00:02:32] of the Celestial Empire?
[00:02:40] So, in another 58 minutes, the last polling stations
[00:02:44] in our westernmost Kaliningrad region will close. We will immediately
[00:02:48] contact the Central Election Commission and announce the preliminary results of the single election
[00:02:51] day. Since Friday morning, elections to the State Duma,
[00:02:54] local legislative assemblies,
[00:02:58] have been held throughout the country. In the
[00:03:00] governing part of the country, votes are already being counted, turnout
[00:03:03] is unprecedented, even 2 hours
[00:03:06] before the end of voting, it was
[00:03:08] 56.57%,
[00:03:12] which is higher than in the previous elections in
[00:03:15] 2021, and also in the 2016 elections
[00:03:18] and even in the first elections
[00:03:20] in 1993. People
[00:03:24] came despite colossal external pressure,
[00:03:27] terrorist attacks by Kyiv on new...
[00:04:31] for each level of voting, the ballot of its
[00:04:33] own color.
[00:04:36] 110 million voters, we just need to wait for the results. We
[00:04:40] had no
[00:04:45] money, everything was calm, the turnout
[00:04:49] was generally good, I think even someone tries to get in
[00:04:53] after the closing, yes, to influence the overall result, thanks to the geography, another
[00:04:56] million Kaliningraders, there, as throughout the country, polling stations
[00:05:00] are going with families very actively, well, this is a civic position,
[00:05:03] I choose in which country, with which government to live, we try
[00:05:07] to choose the best for our children, as our
[00:05:11] heart told us, for us this is a special day, because on this day
[00:05:14] the fate of Russia is decided. For some, these elections became a milestone in
[00:05:17] their biography? I am participating in elections for the first time, I thought
[00:05:21] that I also want to participate in how our state is structured. For
[00:05:25] some, it was also a political step due to restrictions in Europe, Russian citizens
[00:05:29] had to cross the border to vote. In
[00:05:32] Estonia, I, I don't think, I wouldn't be able to vote. I
[00:05:35] specially came here to vote. For them, mobile polling stations
[00:05:39] were equipped at checkpoints in the Leningrad, Kaliningrad and Pskov regions.
[00:05:42] These elections, perhaps, can be called record-breaking open, almost
[00:05:46] 1,300 journalists were accredited for them. In polling stations,
[00:05:49] 380 thousand observers from all parties
[00:05:52] of public chambers and simply independent ones work, each polling station
[00:05:55] is equipped with a video camera, it would seem, an already familiar option, which the president
[00:05:59] only recently proposed. With it, these are only the third
[00:06:02] elections to the State Duma, the second - multi-day ones, so there are no
[00:06:06] queues at the polling stations, but the turnout grew faster than 5 years ago. Shift workers
[00:06:09] voted at their workplaces, young mothers at the place of appearance.
[00:06:19] in their hands protect our Russia, and we
[00:06:22] here, at home, must also protect it with our
[00:06:26] votes, it is we who
[00:06:29] make the decision
[00:06:32] who will lead our country, our region, if we give them
[00:06:35] our vote, we have the right to monitor
[00:06:38] how things are progressing according to their programs, candidates of all...
[00:06:42] levels became 1,586 participants
[00:06:45] of the SVO, 186 fought for seats in the State Duma. In addition
[00:06:49] to it, the country elected 11 governors, almost four dozen
[00:06:52] regional legislative assemblies and 10 city dumas in the capitals of the constituent entities.
[00:06:55] Together with local elections, this is more than 2,000 companies. 3 million
[00:06:59] became mobile voters, another four preferred DEC.
[00:07:03] The head of government also cast his vote online. Participation in
[00:07:07] voting is important for everyone who thinks about the future
[00:07:10] of Russia, about its successful development.
[00:07:43] These elections are taking place in wartime conditions, without
[00:07:46] victory we will have neither peace nor
[00:07:49] tranquility, once again we need to redouble our efforts and
[00:07:53] strictly follow the main message of the president.
[00:07:56] Alexey Nechaev cast his vote in the gym, coincidentally in party
[00:08:00] colors. Sergey Mironov for the first time checked a box online, Leonid
[00:08:03] Slutsky and his mother came to the polling station early this morning. A lot
[00:08:07] depends on how the next few months and the current year, its
[00:08:10] completion, turn out, not only for...
[00:10:12] the turnout indicator, as you noted, is indeed higher than in 2021,
[00:10:16] when voter turnout was 51.7%
[00:10:20] and even higher than in the first elections to the State Duma, in
[00:10:22] 1993, when it was
[00:10:25] 54.8%.
[00:10:28] The Ministry of Digital Development today reported interesting data on
[00:10:31] turnout on the federal platform of electronic remote voting,
[00:10:35] it was over 90%, but this is quite understandable, people who
[00:10:39] submitted an application for expressing their will in this way, of course,
[00:10:42] took advantage of this opportunity. Abroad, in the State Duma elections, according to data as of 7:00 PM
[00:10:45] Moscow time, more than 212,000
[00:10:49] people voted, the Russian
[00:10:52] Foreign Ministry reported today.
[00:11:25] to disrupt the elections.
[00:11:27] Listen:
[00:11:29] all Flamingo missiles launched by the Kyiv regime were destroyed
[00:11:33] by Russian air defense systems on approach to civilian targets
[00:11:37] in the Moscow region. An attempt at a massive attack on Moscow
[00:11:40] failed.
[00:11:43] All 3 days of voting, Russian regions repelled attempts to disrupt
[00:11:46] elections from Ukraine and Western countries. Sabotage against
[00:11:50] members of election commissions, drone raids on polling stations
[00:11:54] massive.
[00:12:28] Elena Ostanina, a sincere supporter of the region's reunification with
[00:12:31] Russia, actively helped organize the referendum on the entry of the DPR,
[00:12:35] LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions into Russia. For
[00:12:39] her selflessness shown in the performance of her duty, Vladimir Putin
[00:12:43] posthumously awarded Elena Ostanina the Order of Courage.
[00:12:46] In the same Zaporozhye region, drones attacked the house of the chairman of the precinct election
[00:12:50] commission, Valentina Maximova. She, her husband and
[00:12:53] young son were injured, this morning the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck one of
[00:12:57] the general education schools in Zaporozhye, where the precinct
[00:13:00] election commission was located, the building was destroyed, only
[00:13:04] by a miracle, no one was injured, disgusting,
[00:13:07] cowardly, Bandera, freaks
[00:13:11] in diapers,
[00:13:14] who are afraid to fight like men, for real,
[00:13:18] that's why they hunt for our peaceful people, mostly
[00:13:22] women, children, I think,
[00:13:58] Even before the start of voting in the front-line zone, the SBU
[00:14:01] conducted a campaign to intimidate citizens, scattering
[00:14:05] thousands of such leaflets, whoever participates in the elections
[00:14:08] gets 10 years in prison. The effect of the Kyiv action caused
[00:14:12] exactly the opposite. The Ukrainian side put me on the list,
[00:14:16] opened criminal cases against
[00:14:19] me, and threats
[00:14:22] are constantly pouring in, but this does not prevent me from continuing
[00:14:25] to hold elections, participating in all elections. Moscow last night repelled
[00:14:29] the most massive raid of Ukrainian drones since the start of the SVO.
[00:14:33] The most massive attack by enemy drones on
[00:14:37] Moscow was repelled. Since yesterday, more than
[00:14:40] 1,600 UAVs have been repelled at all borders, 450 of them on approach to
[00:14:44] Moscow. Thanks to the air defense fighters for their selfless work.
[00:14:48] There are no casualties. The unprecedented attack was clearly
[00:14:51] planned to disrupt the elections. The enemy failed.
[00:14:55] It is obvious that such an attack using 1,600
[00:14:58] drones was prepared a long time ago meticulously, the goal is one - to disrupt
[00:15:02] the elections, it didn't work, on the contrary, at the capital's polling stations
[00:15:05] today there were queues of those who came to vote.
[00:15:09] This night Voronezh was subjected to a massive drone attack, as a result of which
[00:15:13] two people were injured, including a child. In the Belgorod
[00:15:17] region, after the Ukrainian drone raid, a local resident was injured,
[00:15:20] the city of Shibekina was de-energized. Almost
[00:15:23] 250 drones attacked Moscow region at night, as Governor
[00:15:27] Andrey Vorobyov reported, two people died, 15
[00:15:30] were hospitalized, a total of 20 people sought medical help,
[00:15:33] including children.
[00:15:37] five-story apartment building on Novaya street, six
[00:15:41] apartments on the third floor were damaged, unfortunately, a forty-four-year-old
[00:15:44] woman died, five more people were injured,
[00:15:47] including two children. Until this evening, the capital's election commission
[00:15:51] repelled massive hacker attacks on the electronic voting system. According to
[00:15:55] reports from the CEC, cyberattacks aimed at disrupting the elections were recorded from
[00:15:58] Ukraine, Britain and Brazil, but all that
[00:16:01] the hackers managed to achieve was to suspend the system for 20 minutes, and
[00:16:05] this over 3 days of voting, all. Attacks were promptly
[00:16:08] eliminated. In the Far East, as Rostelecom reported, there were
[00:16:12] attempts to cut fiber-optic backbone
[00:16:15] cables, which led to communication failures on Sakhalin in the Khabarovsk
[00:16:19] Territory. Emergency services responded as quickly
[00:16:21] as possible, less than an hour later all problems
[00:16:24] were eliminated. In the Komi Republic, a polling station building was set on fire
[00:16:28] at night. The fire was quickly extinguished.
[00:16:31] The alleged perpetrator was detained. Attacks on civilian
[00:16:35] infrastructure, terrorist attacks, sabotage, all of this. was supposed to intimidate
[00:16:38] people, but the enemy once again seriously miscalculated, the turnout in
[00:16:42] these elections is unprecedented, higher than in the State Duma elections
[00:16:45] of 2021, 2016,
[00:16:48] 2003 and 1993,
[00:16:52] record figures that thwarted all criminal
[00:16:56] plans, the people of Russia rallied and
[00:16:59] decided how and with whom
[00:17:00] to live.
[00:17:03] On Friday, Putin gathered the Military-Industrial Commission in the Kremlin.
[00:17:07] formulated tasks for the military-industrial complex: nuclear
[00:17:10] triad, expansion of the satellite constellation, air defense,
[00:17:14] unmanned systems, all that without which our
[00:17:17] sovereignty would be impossible.
[00:17:20] NATO is swelling, expanding, already entering
[00:17:23] other regions of the world. Some
[00:17:26] European leaders openly declare that they are preparing
[00:17:29] for war with Russia,
[00:17:33] in my opinion, they are simply trying to save
[00:17:37] falling ratings, covering up mistakes in
[00:17:40] economic and social policy, but it doesn't
[00:17:44] work out very well, it doesn't help, but instead of
[00:17:47] stopping, hearing their
[00:17:51] citizens, who at the elections make
[00:17:53] it clear that they do not want
[00:17:57] any war with Russia,
[00:18:00] nevertheless, these leaders continue
[00:18:03] to escalate the situation further,
[00:18:06] using the situation in
[00:18:09] Ukraine
[00:18:11] to inflate this situation, using the Ukrainians
[00:18:15] themselves
[00:18:19] as cannon fodder. Putin is extremely calm, Moscow has
[00:18:22] no aggressive intentions towards Europe. Moreover,
[00:18:26] we are ready to restore relations and cooperate with
[00:18:30] the EU. This sharply contrasts with what
[00:18:33] European politicians say and do. We turned.
[00:19:08] the same people show so-called
[00:19:11] concern, condemn everything that happens in the Armus and
[00:19:15] Bascom straits,
[00:19:17] but what are they doing, what are they preparing for?
[00:19:21] I just want to tell them, let's live
[00:19:24] in peace, otherwise we will also have
[00:19:27] to answer, this should be obvious
[00:19:30] to everyone, a common place, understandable,
[00:19:34] it won't be otherwise in history, moments
[00:19:38] happen when not only one person, large groups of people
[00:19:41] are seized by a state close to madness, this is exactly what
[00:19:45] is happening now with European elites, how else
[00:19:49] to explain the wild passage of one of the most experienced European
[00:19:53] politicians, Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski, who, moreover,
[00:19:55] represents a country claiming military
[00:19:59] leadership in the Old World, as
[00:20:02] you understand, we are closely following Kaliningrad, there almost...
[00:20:05] makes our advantages less
[00:21:20] significant, this means that
[00:21:23] technological superiority is not eternal, a leader today
[00:21:27] can be a laggard tomorrow, this creates
[00:21:30] instability, unpredictability complexity, or, if
[00:21:34] using German military
[00:21:35] theory,
[00:21:38] Clausewitzian friction, excuse me, I am German, I
[00:21:42] have to quote Karl's wisdom, because wisdom does not
[00:21:45] become obsolete, unfortunately, only knowledge of faith in technological
[00:21:48] superiority.
[00:22:14] What this can lead to was explained on Tuesday by Putin's aide,
[00:22:17] Army General Nikolai Patrushev.
[00:22:20] As for Warsaw's assessment of its forces, the head of Polish diplomacy clearly
[00:22:24] assesses our country's military might in an amateurish way, not wanting to understand
[00:22:28] that during the special military operation the Russian armed forces
[00:22:31] by no means use their full potential. Speaking of Poland's military
[00:22:34] superiority over Russia, Sikorsky apparently does not
[00:22:37] realize that if Poland enters military action against
[00:22:41] Russia, our country will use its entire arsenal of available forces
[00:22:44] and means, Polish statehood will cease to exist in
[00:22:47] 2-3 days. Listening to
[00:22:50] insane speeches from Europe, it is not always possible to understand what local politicians and
[00:22:54] military consider a threat and how they generally imagine
[00:22:57] armed confrontation. A characteristic example was the incident in
[00:23:01] the Baltic Sea last Monday between a Danish military helicopter
[00:23:05] and the corvette "Soobrazitelny." In
[00:23:07] neutral waters, a reconnaissance helicopter approached our
[00:23:11] ship, not responding to attempts to communicate. Two
[00:23:14] signal flares fired by the sailors enraged
[00:23:18] Copenhagen. as if they had lost their minds,
[00:23:22] called the incident an action aimed at intimidating
[00:23:25] and dividing allies, and immediately
[00:23:28] expedited the allocation of 275 million
[00:23:32] dollars to Ukraine for the war. However, pockets of
[00:23:35] sanity are still smoldering in some places, Slovak Prime Minister
[00:23:39] Fico refused to join some Carpathian Eight, which
[00:23:42] Zelensky is assembling to support himself, dragging in,
[00:23:46] besides Romania and Poland, also the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and even.
[00:24:28] Russia continues the special operation, security
[00:24:31] guarantees for the country are the most important priority.
[00:24:34] The army delivers new strikes on enemy logistics. Kyiv,
[00:24:38] Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, and now also checkpoints on the border
[00:24:42] with Poland. The effectiveness and power of our new jet
[00:24:45] drones impressed even the former president of Ukraine.
[00:25:09] Russia has made a technological breakthrough in jet drones,
[00:25:12] Ukraine has not developed an effective defense against
[00:25:15] them.
[00:25:17] Returning to urgent news from the ministry. Details
[00:25:20] have emerged. So, we quote: In order to disrupt
[00:25:24] the elections to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation,
[00:25:27] the Kyiv regime, during September 19-20,
[00:25:30] attempted a massive attack on the territory of the Russian Federation
[00:25:34] using UAVs and Flamingo cruise missiles. Thanks to
[00:25:38] the competent actions of air defense missile system crews, mobile fire
[00:25:41] groups, as well as fighter
[00:25:44] army aviation crews, 1,950 attack UAVs and eight long-range cruise missiles
[00:25:47] were shot down over Russian regions in one day.
[00:25:50] Another cruise missile launched by the enemy
[00:25:53] deviated and fell in a deserted area.
[00:25:57] At the same time, all Flamingo missiles
[00:26:00] launched by the Kyiv regime
[00:26:02] were destroyed by Russian air defense systems
[00:26:06] on approach to civilian targets in the Moscow
[00:26:09] region. The attempt of a massive attack on Moscow
[00:26:13] failed. Also, our Ministry of Defense reported in the evening
[00:26:17] that drones hit a bridge in Mayaky
[00:26:20] in the Odessa region. Near Odessa, our army destroyed a logistics
[00:26:24] center of Nova Poshta. In the port, drones struck
[00:26:27] a dry cargo ship. Both bridges and warehouses of the vessel were used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces for
[00:26:31] their own purposes. In the village of Boyarka, Kyiv region, the workshops
[00:26:34] of the Firepoint company, where long-range UAVs were assembled,
[00:26:38] were hit. Russian drones disrupted the operation of the
[00:26:41] Radionix radio electronics plant and struck the
[00:26:45] IBM data center, where
[00:26:47] the Ukrainian Armed Forces' reconnaissance data
[00:26:49] was stored.
[00:26:55] The Financial Times writes that in recent months, the Russian army
[00:26:58] has destroyed almost a million square meters of Ukrainian.
[00:27:32] again hit the Yagodin checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Polish
[00:27:36] border, it is through it that Kyiv sends NATO weapons
[00:27:39] to the front. On Wednesday and Thursday, sirens sounded in the Polish
[00:27:43] Rzeszów, where the main NATO military hub is located. Due to
[00:27:46] attacks on the western part of Ukraine, Rzeszów Airport
[00:27:50] is also now operating
[00:27:52] intermittently.
[00:28:01] About the results of the combat.
[00:29:04] These look like storm clouds, but these are plumes of smoke. The Russians again
[00:29:07] attacked warehouses in Kyiv, about two to three kilometers
[00:29:11] from here. This happens daily. Ukraine's
[00:29:13] energy system has lost half of its capacity. If earlier
[00:29:17] surpluses were sold to Europe, now there is not enough even for domestic
[00:29:21] consumption. And how to protect power plants in Kyiv has not
[00:29:25] yet been figured out. The great Ukrainians are vulnerable. First
[00:29:28] of all, large thermal power plants in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro and other cities.
[00:29:32] In case of their damage, Ukraine still cannot fully compensate for their
[00:29:36] operation. For the first time, attacks on data centers, one
[00:29:40] reactive geranium is usually enough for one
[00:29:42] object.
[00:29:47] Their tactical and technical characteristics are being analyzed by
[00:29:50] the Western press, trying to understand why the latest modifications
[00:29:54] of 4.5 are invulnerable to Ukrainian
[00:32:17] We will be the first to announce the results of the Russian elections at 9:00 PM.
[00:32:20] Escape from Ukraine for a billion dollars. Will
[00:32:24] the elections in Mecklenburg be the last for Merz?
[00:32:43] A lot of events that the future
[00:32:45] depends on,
[00:32:48] aviation, gasification of Russia, which has the
[00:32:51] largest gas reserves in the world, observes how
[00:32:54] European leaders call
[00:32:56] unbearable,
[00:32:58] we suffer from the consequences, prices for
[00:33:00] fuel,
[00:33:03] we again felt the bitter price, but they wanted to make
[00:33:06] it unbearable, to make the lives
[00:33:09] of Russians suffer, everything will come back like a boomerang, what other
[00:33:13] advice, press the button? We turn the valve,
[00:33:16] it should have been heard a long time ago, just press
[00:33:19] the button, we study big politics, better than anyone else,
[00:33:23] watch on your screens.

[00:37:49] you are watching Vesti Nedeli, in just 23
[00:37:52] minutes the polling stations will close in the westernmost region of Russia,
[00:37:56] Kaliningrad. Today in Russia the single election
[00:37:59] day ends, the country elects the State Duma, local legislative
[00:38:03] assemblies, heads of regions. We will summarize the first results
[00:38:06] live at 9:00 PM.
[00:38:10] Meanwhile, the main global topic.
[00:38:12] The worst fuel crisis. Southern France
[00:38:16] was engulfed in fishing riots. On Thursday, fishermen in boats blocked
[00:38:20] the fairway in the port of Nice. The most important maritime gateway of the Fifth
[00:38:24] Republic in the Mediterranean.
[00:38:32] On the shore, the rioters blocked access for trucks and tankers
[00:38:35] to the largest oil terminals
[00:38:39] and Fontena. Fishermen build barricades and burn
[00:38:43] tires.
[00:38:47] Against the backdrop of the emerging instability and disorder in six communes,
[00:38:50] Macron urgently convened on Friday at the Elysée Palace
[00:38:54] the leaders of all political parties and parliamentary.
[00:41:13] The epicenter of the global fuel crisis is right now on
[00:41:17] the Arabian Peninsula. The region historically
[00:41:20] plays a central role in the world's trade. In the last century, the British
[00:41:23] dominated there, before them it was part of the Ottoman Empire, today.
[00:41:40] trade routes in response to American aggression,
[00:41:43] Iran is intercepting. The Islamic Republic already virtually
[00:41:47] controls the Strait of Hormuz, an alternative
[00:41:50] route from the Red Sea, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait,
[00:41:53] over the past two weeks captured by Tehran's
[00:41:56] allies, the Yemeni
[00:41:59] Houthis. Iran not only blocked the Strait of Hormuz, it
[00:42:02] launched attacks on the oil and gas infrastructure of neighboring
[00:42:06] countries, on the LNG plant in Qatar, and on a number of.
[00:42:40] their slippers, the Houthis' combat record is impressive. In
[00:42:43] 2015, the Saudi-led coalition already tried to
[00:42:47] restore order in Yemen to secure the straits.
[00:42:51] Riyadh attracted to its side the strongest in the Arab
[00:42:54] East, in Africa, the Egyptian army.
[00:42:57] Unsuccessfully.
[00:43:00] Egypt and Yemen have old scores to settle. In the sixties,
[00:43:03] Egyptian President Gamal Abdel-Nasser sent
[00:43:06] a contingent to Yemen to participate in the civil war. At its
[00:43:10] peak, the group numbered 70,000 soldiers.
[00:43:14] The Yemenis drew Cairo into a difficult five-year conflict
[00:43:17] that depleted Egypt's resources and led
[00:43:20] the country to defeat during the Six-Day War with
[00:43:23] Israel.
[00:43:28] The Yemeni war or the Egyptian war? This is a war in which Egypt
[00:43:32] suffered the greatest losses in its history. By the end of April, due to
[00:43:35] guerrilla warfare tactics, the battle was lost. Since
[00:43:39] already a formed movement,
[00:43:42] have been confronting an entire coalition of Arab states led by
[00:43:45] Saudi Arabia. In response to attacks on their positions,
[00:43:49] the Yemenis used drones to disable the Saudi East-West
[00:43:52] oil pipeline. Up to 7 million barrels of oil were pumped
[00:43:55] through the pipeline daily - that's 4%
[00:43:59] of global supplies. Supplies from Saudi Arabia
[00:44:02] were intended for European refineries. Companies on Friday
[00:44:06] received notice that there would be no more raw materials in September. And
[00:44:10] European capitals are frantically looking for a way out, this is despite the fact that they
[00:44:14] also have no gas, gas storage facilities are only
[00:44:17] 67% full, the lowest level for early
[00:44:20] autumn, and they have to buy at three
[00:44:23] times the price.
[00:44:27] Europe needs Russian energy carriers, period:
[00:44:30] it is impossible to maintain life in densely populated cities with the current
[00:44:34] rise in energy prices, especially considering interruptions in
[00:44:37] LNG supplies from the Persian Gulf, particularly from
[00:44:40] Qatar, where else can Europe get liquefied natural gas,
[00:44:44] without LNG Europe will not be able to function. The crisis is a direct
[00:44:48] consequence of the self-inflicted wound that Brussels committed back in
[00:44:51] 2009. Then the EU adopted the so-called
[00:44:55] Third Energy Package. It was lobbied by
[00:44:58] European Commissioner, Latvian Andris Piebalgs.
[00:45:02] The then President of the European Commission and former Prime Minister of Portugal
[00:45:05] Barroso, succumbed to the manipulations of the young Europeans
[00:45:08] and committed suicide.
[00:45:11] Gazprom was forbidden to own main gas pipelines in
[00:45:14] Europe. The EU abandoned long-term
[00:45:18] contracts in favor of exchange trading. In Brussels,
[00:45:21] they hoped that the new scheme would help save money,
[00:45:24] it turned out the opposite. How many times
[00:45:27] did we talk to them about the need to maintain
[00:45:30] the established relations between us
[00:45:33] in energy. We
[00:45:36] supplied the same gas to Europe at
[00:45:40] 150 dollars, at 150 dollars, at, well, at
[00:45:43] 180 per 1,000 cubic meters, that's expensive,
[00:45:47] we were told, we need to switch to
[00:45:50] market pricing, we told them, gas is not a market commodity,
[00:45:54] at least not a classic market commodity, nothing will
[00:45:57] come of it, your prices will only rise, well, please,
[00:46:00] shave, 1,000 dollars
[00:46:03] or euros now, it will be maybe even more, now
[00:46:07] there are no signs that the situation will return to normal, the Saudis do not
[00:46:11] report when they will restore the East-West oil pipeline. The long-term
[00:46:14] agreement that was the basis of the American-Saudi alliance, oil
[00:46:18] in exchange for weapons and protection, has virtually collapsed.
[00:46:21] The US presence in the Middle East is becoming toxic and
[00:46:25] dangerous. CNN, against this backdrop, is looking for culprits, writing that
[00:46:29] Russian satellites Kosmos-25-73
[00:46:32] are finding targets for Iran. The Russian trace is an
[00:46:35] absurd justification for its own failures. First, we need.
[00:46:40] not sky-high, but stable gas and oil prices.
[00:46:43] Second, our entire satellite constellation is busy working
[00:46:47] on the SMO zone. Only on Thursday, the Ministry of Defense from
[00:46:50] the Plesetsk cosmodrome sent another
[00:46:54] spacecraft into orbit in the interests of the armed
[00:46:57] forces.
[00:47:02] High oil and gas prices indeed bring Russia
[00:47:05] additional money, but this has long not been the main source of income for
[00:47:08] the economy, the oil needle, an outdated
[00:47:12] stereotype, only 13% of the country's
[00:47:15] budget was executed with
[00:47:18] a surplus, it amounted to 606
[00:47:22] billion rubles.
[00:47:24] Non-oil and gas revenues made a significant
[00:47:28] contribution to this result. At the same time, of course, we see how oil prices are rising in
[00:47:32] world markets.
[00:47:34] Accordingly, we expect that in the coming months
[00:47:37] oil and gas revenues of the
[00:47:40] budget will also increase. It is worth
[00:47:43] adding that one of the main buyers of our hydrocarbons and
[00:47:47] consequently a source of budget replenishment remains
[00:47:50] Europe. For example, France. only in July increased its purchases of our
[00:47:54] gas by 42%. We won't even mention
[00:47:58] sanctions and various price caps. The USA is
[00:48:01] the world's largest oil producer, also forced to
[00:48:05] import raw materials from abroad. Report by our
[00:48:09] American sub-correspondent, Dmitry
[00:48:11] Melnikov.
[00:48:20] Техасский Хьюстон, сами американцы. называют энергетической столицей
[00:48:24] мира, но именно здесь отчётливо видно, насколько Америка
[00:48:27] сегодня зависит от глобального энергорынка. НПЗ
[00:48:31] работают на пределе мощности, но даже крупнейший производитель
[00:48:34] нефти не может компенсировать перебоев, причина
[00:48:37] которых за тысячи км отсюда. Армудский пролив,
[00:48:41] ближний восток удары по российским НПЗ, всё
[00:48:44] это напрямую отражается на ценах на местных заправках.
[00:48:48] И вот опять оказывается, что американская энергетическая
[00:48:51] независимость. заканчивается там, где правило устанавливает мировой
[00:48:55] рынок. Этот шок Америке всё больше напоминает
[00:48:58] нефтяные кризисы семидесятых, как
[00:49:01] сейчас, отправной точкой тогда стали потрясения на Ближнем
[00:49:05] Востоке. Правда, сегодня Америка - крупнейший
[00:49:08] производитель нефти в мире и добывает её больше, чем
[00:49:12] когда-либо в своей истории. Только вот изобилие сырья при
[00:49:15] ограниченных возможностях НПЗ, дешёвого топлива не
[00:49:19] гарантируют. Вот эти цифры сегодня самый. наглядный
[00:49:23] показатель того, что происходит на американском топливном рынке и прежде
[00:49:26] всего с дизелем. 6 долларов 30 центов за голоны -
[00:49:30] это в нефтяном Техасе (истторический рекорд). Очередей
[00:49:34] на заправках, как это было в семидесятые, пока не видно, но
[00:49:37] если из-за цены дизеля остановятся бензовозы,
[00:49:41] появятся очереди. Владельцы и водители фур и
[00:49:44] цистерн говорят, что их бизнес перестаёт быть
[00:49:47] рентабельным.
[00:49:50] Это ужас, в грузовике 200 голов.
[00:50:41] I think that most people, if they had to choose between lower gas prices and Iran with nuclear weapons, they would choose
[00:50:44] the former. People don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons, and they won't
[00:50:48] get them. And the war will soon end, when it ends.
[00:50:52] gas prices will fall to their previous level, or maybe even
[00:50:55] lower, yet at the meeting of the G20 energy ministers,
[00:50:59] which the US hosted in Houston, the hosts
[00:51:02] preferred to keep silent about the impact of the Iranian war on the global
[00:51:05] fuel market. The slogan of the forum was energy
[00:51:09] abundance, the formula is simple: America
[00:51:11] extracts, Europe and allies will be forced to
[00:51:15] buy, regardless of
[00:51:16] prices.
[00:51:19] We need more energy, more energy here.
[00:51:32] After the capture of Maduro, the US found a new source of its abundance in Venezuela; its delegation
[00:51:34] East. True, in Houston signed an agreement with the Americans
[00:51:38] on the development of a large oil field,
[00:51:42] Ayacucho-2, whose resources are estimated at 30 billion
[00:51:45] barrels, but these barrels are a matter of the future; today,
[00:51:49] the world market lacks Russian diesel.
[00:51:53] Russian diesel fuel exports have seriously declined. Russia used to be
[00:51:56] a major diesel exporter, but now exports virtually
[00:51:59] nothing. Russia was represented in Houston by three
[00:52:03] departments: the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
[00:52:06] and the Ministry of Natural Resources, the second participation of the Russian delegation in
[00:52:10] G20 meetings in the United States in a month. Against
[00:52:14] the backdrop of the energy crisis, the thesis that the market cannot be politicized
[00:52:18] is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. We are ready and
[00:52:21] continue to supply all our partners with energy at
[00:52:24] affordable prices, not to take advantage of the situation that arises and
[00:52:27] make every effort to supply not only ourselves with the necessary energy,
[00:52:31] petroleum products, oil, gas, but all reasonable.
[00:52:35] consumers, all reasonable counterparties
[00:52:38] with whom we work. During the group photo, for a few
[00:52:41] seconds, there was a perfect picture of unity, but outside the frame
[00:52:44] there were continuous contradictions, from sanctions and trade wars to
[00:52:48] the struggle for spheres of influence and supply routes, and
[00:52:51] most importantly, who should determine the future of the world
[00:52:54] energy market and by what rules. As
[00:52:57] if on purpose, at the same time on Capitol Hill in Washington,
[00:53:01] the House of Representatives voted for hellish sanctions against.
[00:53:05] and Tehran, named after the late Lindsey Graham. Congressmen
[00:53:08] rushed to go back to their districts and intended to do so
[00:53:12] immediately after the vote, so some came to the House
[00:53:16] with their children.
[00:53:18] Voting results: 262 people voted
[00:53:21] for, 159 against.
[00:53:24] The proposal was adopted. Among those who voted against were seven
[00:53:28] Republicans, but the overwhelming majority were Democrats, who
[00:53:31] consider the sanction document to be only in name. It does not
[00:53:35] provide direct assistance to Ukraine,
[00:53:38] and does not guarantee pressure on Moscow, but it
[00:53:42] gives the White House a new tariff
[00:53:44] leverage. This virtually gives the president unlimited
[00:53:48] powers in matters of imposing tariffs. Another tariff
[00:53:52] club in Trump's hands. Russian banks, Arctic
[00:53:55] LNG projects, and tankers of the shadow fleet fall under
[00:53:59] sanctions. Duties on direct imports from Russia can
[00:54:02] reach 500% on
[00:54:35] days, the White House is obliged to impose sanctions against Russia and
[00:54:38] duties on buyers of its energy resources, however
[00:54:42] the president can stop any measure, citing
[00:54:45] national interests, so the main question is whether Trump is ready
[00:54:49] to strike at India and China now, a few days before
[00:54:52] the arrival of the Chinese leader in Washington, the reaction of official
[00:54:56] Beijing followed instantly. We
[00:54:59] consistently oppose actions that have no basis in international
[00:55:03] law or without the approval of the UN Security Council. New Delhi responded
[00:55:07] no less harshly, where they stated that they would not change
[00:55:10] their policy under pressure from Washington. On the sidelines of the meeting in
[00:55:13] Houston, Minister Manohar Lau confirmed to us that
[00:55:17] India will continue to defend its national
[00:55:20] interests.
[00:55:24] We are ready to cooperate with all members of the G20, including
[00:55:27] Russia. The fact that hellish sanctions threaten
[00:55:31] a new escalation of relations with Moscow, against the backdrop of resumed.
[00:55:43] One of the few remaining Russian consulates here in
[00:55:46] Houston, after the closure of representative offices in Seattle and
[00:55:50] San Francisco, its area of responsibility has expanded to
[00:55:53] 13 states, but interest in Russia has not faded, since
[00:55:56] the beginning of this year, one and a half thousand
[00:56:53] and other weapons of mass destruction, but conventional weapons under that treaty remained in a gray area, and Washington has now officially acknowledged for the first time that American weapons are already in
[00:56:56] space. The United States now
[00:56:59] has means of controlling space in orbit
[00:57:03] capable of protecting.
[00:58:22] two heads of regions, as
[00:58:26] we know, have already been elected in indirect elections, deputies of legislative
[00:58:29] assemblies voted. Rashid Temryazov was re-elected head of
[00:58:32] Karachay-Cherkessia, and Sergei Minyaylo again became
[00:58:36] the head of North Ossetia. Both have already
[00:58:39] taken office. The head of Dagestan will also be determined by the People's
[00:58:43] Assembly of the Republic, elections to... which
[00:58:46] took place today. A fundamentally important feature
[00:58:49] of this election campaign is that among candidates of all levels,
[00:58:53] more than one and a half thousand participants and veterans of
[00:58:57] the SMO, of which almost 200 are claiming
[00:59:00] deputy mandates in the Federal Assembly.
[00:59:04] In total, 11 political
[00:59:07] parties participated in the elections, including to the State Duma. Bryansk region burst into the number of
[00:59:10] leaders in terms of voter activity in the central.
[00:59:14] with a result of almost 96%.
[00:59:48] In the Chechen Republic, there is traditionally a high level of
[00:59:51] voting, by this hour
[00:59:54] almost 95%. As we all know,
[00:59:58] the elections took place in extremely difficult conditions.
[01:00:02] Our regions have experienced both terrorist attacks, there were
[01:00:05] attacks on members of precinct election commissions,
[01:00:09] two of them, unfortunately, died. Moscow in these
[01:00:12] 24 hours experienced the most massive drone
[01:00:15] raid, according to the Ministry of Defense,
[01:00:18] thanks to the actions of anti-aircraft crews,
[01:00:21] mobile fire groups, and also fighter
[01:00:25] army aviation crews, 1951
[01:00:28] strike UAVs and eight long-range
[01:00:31] cruise missiles were shot down over Russian
[01:00:33] regions in 24 hours.
[01:00:36] Another cruise missile launched by the enemy
[01:00:39] deviated and fell in a deserted
[01:00:42] area, at
[01:00:45] 9 PM, and we can announce
[01:00:48] the preliminary results of the elections on your screens.
[01:00:51] Exit polls are the results of surveys at
[01:00:54] the exits from the polling stations. So, on your
[01:00:58] screens are two polls, the Insamar institute in general. According
[01:01:02] to VTsIOM, 49.4%
[01:01:05] of votes are garnered by United Russia. Insamar
[01:01:08] gives the leading party United Russia
[01:01:11] 52.8% of votes. In second place is
[01:01:14] the CPRF, look at FOM 14.2,
[01:01:18] as for Insamar, it gives the CPRF
[01:01:22] 14.8% of votes. In third place, here
[01:01:25] was a significant intrigue, so far according to exit poll data,
[01:01:28] these are not yet official data, the LDPR
[01:01:32] 9.9 votes for Insamar,
[01:01:35] 10.7 gives VTsIOM. New people, they
[01:01:38] fought for third place, and some experts predicted even for
[01:01:41] second place. Nevertheless, so far... fourth: Insamar
[01:01:45] gives 8.6%
[01:01:49] of the votes, VTsIOM gives the new people
[01:01:51] 9.7% of the votes.
[01:01:53] Fair Russia,
[01:01:56] here too there was a big intrigue, will this party
[01:01:59] enter the new composition of the State Duma?
[01:02:02] And, judging by the data we have at this
[01:02:06] minute, 6.6%
[01:02:08] of votes are garnered by Fair Russia, according to VTsIOM data, according
[01:02:12] to Insamar data, Fair Russia takes. votes
[01:02:16] of voters, other
[01:02:19] parties that apparently do not pass into the State
[01:02:23] Duma of the Russian Federation collectively gather
[01:02:26] 7.9 votes of voters, so,
[01:02:30] the undisputed winner according to exit polls,
[01:02:34] right now is United Russia, but these are the results
[01:02:38] of polls at the exits from the polling stations, we will receive
[01:02:41] the official data of the vote count from the Central Election Commission,
[01:02:45] they will publish the first information
[01:02:48] right now, a broadcast from the CEC, and
[01:02:52] I want to announce their preliminary
[01:02:55] results, this is for the federal. United Russia
[01:03:03] 3,889,584 votes,
[01:03:06] this
[01:03:11] is I emphasize
[01:03:15] 13.88 of processed
[01:03:18] protocols. Which is
[01:03:22] 57.54%.
[01:03:23] In second place now, according to
[01:03:27] the results. I repeat again,
[01:03:30] 13.88 of the protocol
[01:03:34] is the LDPR with 9.27%.
[01:03:37] In third place, the party
[01:03:44] of direct democracy. now so, it's just that I
[01:04:00] have it in that order, now I'm looking, no, colleagues, it's not like that,
[01:04:04] I'm sorry,
[01:04:05] it's just that
[01:04:09] I think you will all forgive me, because
[01:04:12] you see in what mode we are working, I just started
[01:04:15] reading in order as it is not written, in fact now I will look
[01:04:19] carefully, they did not arrange them for me by rank, there was
[01:04:22] no time, in second place
[01:04:25] so 5754 United Russia, that's
[01:04:27] for sure, in second place,
[01:05:30] The Motherland Party concludes with
[01:05:32] 0.62%,
[01:05:35] oh no, the party,
[01:05:38] good evening, the Central Election Commission is on a direct line, it is here, in this hall,
[01:05:42] that the briefing of the chairperson of the Central Election Commission, Ella
[01:05:45] Pamfilova, is currently taking place, and I will repeat those preliminary
[01:05:49] figures that she has just announced, but I draw your
[01:05:52] attention to the fact that only slightly more than
[01:05:54] 13% of the protocols have been processed
[01:05:57] so far, so for the federal.
[01:07:56] The undisputed leader is United Russia, the federal
[01:07:59] institutional headquarters of United Russia, it is in Moscow, and
[01:08:03] our Anna Semenova is working there right now,
[01:08:06] let's move to Kutuzovsky
[01:08:09] Prospekt, Anna, hello, so, how...
[01:10:24] United Russia is leading in the elections, gaining 50%
[01:10:28] of the votes according to exit polls according
[01:10:31] to official data, which the Central Election Commission has
[01:10:35] at this minute, now our political observer from the CPRF election headquarters,
[01:10:38] which is in second place, will go live.
[01:10:42] Alexey Petrov, good evening, Lesha, what
[01:10:46] are the moods of the communists, how do they comment on the first
[01:10:49] preliminary results?
[01:10:53] Yes, Evgeny, good evening, we are now at the CPRF headquarters, and on
[01:10:57] the working floors themselves, we had this
[01:11:00] opportunity, here they are actively discussing,
[01:11:03] specialists, party activists, discussing, evaluating
[01:11:07] the effectiveness of that program, the program of victory, with which the CPRF went to
[01:11:10] the elections, well, the opportunity to ask questions directly, we go into
[01:11:14] Gennady Andreevich Zyuganov's office. Gennady Andreevich, hello,
[01:11:18] we are live with you, thank you for the opportunity to talk, how do
[01:11:21] you evaluate the party's results?
[01:11:25] These elections are taking place in wartime conditions, our program is
[01:11:28] called the program of victory, we carried it
[01:11:31] throughout all regions, and I must say directly, the people
[01:11:35] perfectly accepted our proposal, because it
[01:11:38] ensures both advancement and security.
[01:11:43] and maximum support for those who are in a very difficult
[01:11:46] situation today, I want to thank everyone who helped
[01:11:49] us, supported us, voted
[01:11:52] for us, this is very important, on the other hand, it is necessary
[01:11:55] to understand that the president's appeal for maximum
[01:11:58] unity and ensuring victory, it was
[01:12:02] not accidental that it sounded three times, well,
[01:12:04] we followed this throughout the entire election campaign, you
[01:12:08] will now go around our headquarters, everyone is in place from Kamchatka
[01:12:12] to Kaliningrad, we are now collecting protocols and
[01:12:15] clarifying the results, the preliminary poll showed
[01:12:19] us from 18 to 30%, but
[01:12:22] we will have protocols at all polling stations, which
[01:12:26] we will compare with some official data, unfortunately,
[01:12:28] there are entire regions, for example, in Voronezh, in
[01:12:32] a city of a million, all observers were removed
[01:12:35] absolutely illegally, but nevertheless, we all
[01:12:39] work synergistically and the main goal is to...
[01:12:55] overall, nevertheless, are you satisfied, because
[01:12:58] in the last elections the CPRF received almost
[01:13:01] 19, now figures of 13-14 are being sounded, I
[01:13:04] apologize, that was the final result, in the end, let's
[01:13:07] count everything tomorrow, we will have all
[01:13:10] the data by 10 AM, and we will
[01:13:13] compare it with what is announced, unfortunately, during
[01:13:16] the election campaign, those tendencies that
[01:13:20] came today from the dashing nineties emerged, this
[01:13:24] must not be allowed categorically, but we will have
[01:13:27] live, concrete protocols in almost all
[01:13:31] regions, which will be certified by our headquarters and controllers,
[01:13:34] we will count the final result tomorrow by
[01:13:37] ten, I looked at some tables that
[01:13:41] were shown on the screens for 3 hours, they do not
[01:13:44] reflect any trend or real picture,
[01:14:04] In literally 20 minutes, we will learn additional
[01:14:07] details, well, now I will emphasize again, the headquarters are analyzing
[01:14:11] all the figures that were just announced. Evgeny,
[01:14:14] thank you very much, Alexey, in the election headquarters of the CPRF, which
[01:14:17] is gaining approximately 15% of the votes, I am sure, the political
[01:14:21] observer Alexey is working in second place.
[01:14:26] Voting has ended in Donbas, the DPR, LPR, Kherson, Zaporozhye
[01:14:30] regions elected deputies to the State Duma for the first time.
[01:14:33] The elections were held in extremely difficult conditions. In
[01:14:36] an attempt to disrupt them, the Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled civilians precisely. Due to
[01:14:40] the increased drone threat in the evening and nighttime, polling stations in Donbas
[01:14:44] worked on a reduced schedule. In the DPR
[01:14:48] they closed already at 2 PM local time, in the LPR at
[01:14:51] 4 PM. And the turnout was record high. DPR almost.
[01:14:55] 82% LPR almost 80 in Zaporozhye region
[01:14:58] about 79% of voters cast their
[01:15:01] ballots, in Kherson region approximately 75%.
[01:15:05] Reports from our correspondents, Grigory
[01:15:08] Vdovin and Nikolai Dolgachev from Donetsk and
[01:15:11] Lugansk. Voting in the Donetsk People's
[01:15:15] Republic ended today at 2:00 PM, as we can see,
[01:15:19] the polling station is already closed, now the process of counting
[01:15:21] votes has begun, this was done so that...
[01:15:25] Ukraine, in the conditions of continuous terrorist attacks, could not
[01:15:28] inflict any damage with its
[01:15:31] endless waves of drones. In total, more than 600
[01:15:34] polling stations were opened in the Donetsk People's Republic,
[01:15:38] now at all of them this complex procedure of
[01:15:41] opening ballot boxes, checking
[01:15:45] seals, is underway so that they are not damaged in any
[01:15:49] way, and here observers at
[01:15:52] the polling station were shown, that these stamps.
[01:16:10] confirmation that we are all citizens of Russia and that Russia is here because
[01:16:14] elections to the Russian parliament are taking place here.
[01:16:17] Grigoriev Sergey Aleseev and Gennady Korneev. Vesti
[01:16:20] of the week from the Donetsk People's Republic.
[01:16:25] In the Luhansk Republic, the final vote count is already underway, all
[01:16:28] polling stations closed at 4 p.m. local time, which coincides with Moscow time,
[01:16:32] security requirements dictate their conditions, voter turnout in the region is
[01:16:35] high, more than 75% of registered
[01:16:38] voters cast their ballots, the region is participating in elections to
[01:16:42] the State Duma of Russia for the first time, and interest in the election process here is very
[01:16:45] high, even despite a number of objective difficulties.
[01:16:49] In the city of Olchevsk yesterday, work at polling stations was interrupted for several
[01:16:52] hours due to drone danger. 14
[01:16:55] polling stations in the LPR in different areas had to be temporarily
[01:16:58] switched to backup power sources due to electricity
[01:17:02] interruptions. Unfortunately, during the voting days in the LPR, several people
[01:17:06] were wounded, four died, including a sixteen-year-old girl, this was
[01:17:10] as a result of Ukrainian attacks on residential buildings and passenger
[01:17:13] cars. The enemy, however, failed to intimidate the residents of Luhansk. In
[01:17:17] all districts, voting was active, including in
[01:17:20] frontline areas. In the LPR, all 513 polling stations
[01:17:24] are currently conducting the final vote count, it remains
[01:17:27] to be seen which parties are leading and who will represent the Luhansk
[01:17:31] People's Republic in the lower house of the Russian
[01:17:33] parliament. Nikolai Dlagachev, Nikolai Pyrkh, Andrey Luchkin,
[01:17:37] Vesti Nedeli, Luhansk People's Republic. In the
[01:17:41] West, they are trying to cancel the legendary Russian hockey player Alexander
[01:17:44] Ovechkin for participating in the election video of United
[01:17:48] Russia. Ovechkin appeared in one shot with one of the leaders of the federal
[01:17:52] list of the party, Foreign Minister Lavrov. He stood in the
[01:17:55] background, said nothing, but the Russophobes would still be
[01:17:59] furious. They demand Ovechkin's removal from international competitions
[01:18:03] and a complete ban on his entry to the USA. The Duma elections themselves
[01:18:06] are
[01:18:38] what they show and say? Report by Alexander
[01:18:42] Khristyanok.
[01:18:45] First, we will move to Russia, where the first parliamentary elections are taking place since
[01:18:49] the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It seems that no one worried
[01:18:53] so much about the course and results of the Russian parliamentary elections as
[01:18:57] Western political scientists and media. Here on CNN, announcing a report
[01:19:00] about artificial intelligence, because of which the Pentagon almost started another
[01:19:04] war, the political preferences of fishermen in Alaska.
[01:19:37] people vote early in the elections to the State Duma of Russia under
[01:19:40] the supervision of the military. To explain why there are armed people next to
[01:19:44] election commission employees, no one bothered
[01:19:46] to.
[01:19:50] These shots show Russian military personnel accompanying
[01:19:53] election commissions during voting in
[01:19:56] Russia-occupied territories of Eastern
[01:19:59] Ukraine. They also kept silent about the fact that voter turnout in the new, in fact,
[01:20:03] historical Russian regions, turned out to be record high,
[01:20:06] since the residents.
[01:20:10] A rather unique situation is also developing in the Ukrainian territory
[01:20:14] controlled by Russia, where mobile polling stations are operating,
[01:20:17] commissions go to residential courtyards, visit apartments of
[01:20:21] elderly people, and the polling stations themselves are guarded by armed
[01:20:24] government representatives, police, of course, without any
[01:20:28] pressure on voters.
[01:20:31] Footage showing soldiers walking around with weapons, trying to encourage people
[01:20:35] to vote.
[01:21:48] In Ukraine, politically, there is complete confusion, martial law is in effect in the country
[01:21:52] due to the war unleashed by Russia, and people
[01:21:56] are tired, they would like to see a renewal of political life,
[01:21:59] new faces and new voices, but in the current conditions, this is
[01:22:02] impossible, they understand this, the situation causes them
[01:22:06] discontent, but it is impossible to fix it until hostilities
[01:22:09] cease. What is surprising if even the world hockey star Alexander
[01:22:13] Ovechkin was decided to be persecuted in the most democratic
[01:22:16] way. Only because the legendary forward appeared in the same frame with
[01:22:20] Foreign Minister Lavrov. And now the former US Ambassador to Russia,
[01:22:23] Democrat McFaul, is indignant. Ovechkin was not obliged
[01:22:26] to do this, he did it of his own choice. I used to be his
[01:22:30] fan. Other Russophobes are already demanding to ban
[01:22:33] Ovechkin from entering the US or to exclude him from the Washington Capitals
[01:22:37] team. Although everyone understands that everything there depends on him, he is the captain of
[01:22:41] the team, and it is thanks to Ovechkin that the club won the main
[01:22:44] award of the country's championship, the Stanley Cup. Ove himself, as they call
[01:22:48] him in the States, became the greatest sniper in NHL history, breaking Wayne
[01:22:52] Gretzky's eternal record. The Canadian had 894
[01:22:55] goals in regular season games, Ovechkin's current count is
[01:22:58] 929. Despite universal recognition, Alexander
[01:23:02] still links his future with Russia. Ovechkin answered criticism directed
[01:23:05] at him simply. I am
[01:23:08] Russian,
[01:23:13] so, about the video, I am Russian, when I finish
[01:23:16] my hockey career, I will probably stay there.
[01:23:50] chose deputies of local landtags, although in fact
[01:23:53] Germans voted for the future Chancellor of Germany,
[01:23:57] Merz. The first exit polls showed a complete failure of the ruling
[01:24:00] CDU party. In Berlin, Merz's party gets
[01:24:04] 20%. It lost to the far-left party
[01:24:07] Linke for the first time. It has 24.5%. In
[01:24:10] Mecklenburg, the CDU gets about 5% and is balancing on
[01:24:14] the verge of dropping out of the Landtag. This is the worst
[01:24:17] result in its entire history of participation.
[01:27:22] Russian gas from trans-Baltic pipelines was met precisely in
[01:27:25] Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in the coastal town of
[01:27:29] Lubmin. Russian fuel played a key role in the energy balance of
[01:27:32] this federal state, and its replacement in the form of a forest of
[01:27:35] wind turbines is not to everyone's taste. Even from
[01:27:38] an aesthetic point of view. In Germany, they even try to
[01:27:42] plant trees in a line, here chaotically dotted
[01:27:46] wind farms really disfigure the landscape. Everywhere you look.
[01:27:50] you will definitely run into a propeller, but what was it like
[01:27:53] before, vacationers on the beach might not even
[01:27:56] suspect that a few meters under these dunes,
[01:27:59] 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year pass through, if they had launched a second
[01:28:03] Nord Stream, it would have passed 110, well, now
[01:28:07] the Gasgate company pumps American and Norwegian
[01:28:10] gas into European networks, not at a subsidized
[01:28:13] 180, but at the current market price - 100
[01:28:17] euros per 100 cubic meters.
[01:29:05] The gas power plant, which previously provided power to the Nord Stream
[01:29:09] pipeline, we gave as a gift to Ukraine, that is, in fact, to those who
[01:29:12] blew up Nord Stream, this is complete absurdity, there is an aggressor who
[01:29:16] blows up a gas pipeline, and we, as a federal republic, in response, give him
[01:29:19] this power plant, as a result, we have the second highest prices in all of
[01:29:23] Germany. And in general, for the same reason, Alternative is first in
[01:29:27] the rating. The liberal media are in a panic discussing the rise of
[01:29:30] AfD, observing how...
[01:30:32] historical price maximum, dictated by the rise in exchange prices for
[01:30:36] oil to 100 and above dollars per barrel, and despite the difficulties of
[01:30:40] the federal budget, the government is forced to return to emergency support
[01:30:44] measures, from October 1, a fuel discount is being reintroduced,
[01:30:47] the effectiveness of which will, however, depend on
[01:30:51] Trump, Xir, and the Houthis. To what has been said,
[01:30:54] it can only be added that in small towns or on
[01:30:57] autobahns, the price of diesel fuel has long exceeded the mark
[01:31:01] of 3 euros per. but in Germany, unlike France, this has not
[01:31:05] caused any public outrage, at
[01:31:16] the gas pipeline operator Nord Stream certainly did not evaporate, and
[01:31:20] even moved not far, it's just not visible. In 2023,
[01:31:24] the German government bought the pipes and used them to
[01:31:27] build a marine interconnector across the Greifswald
[01:31:30] Bay between the port of Mukran and Lubmin, where we have already
[01:31:33] been. Tankers deliver American and Norwegian LNG to
[01:31:37] the floating regasification station Neptune. Neptune
[01:31:41] launches gas into the interconnector, and the company Gascade on the other side of
[01:31:45] the bay, redirects it to terrestrial European
[01:31:48] networks. Everything looks technological and thought out to
[01:31:51] the smallest detail. Except for one - the cost of gas. Nord Stream
[01:31:55] 2 estimated that the repair of all three blown gas
[01:31:59] pipelines would cost 1.2 billion
[01:32:02] euros, and here's the attention, this is the cost of such a volume of
[01:32:06] gas that, by current standards, Germany spends in
[01:32:09] 5 days. Long-term
[01:32:12] contracts with Gazprom provided Germany with
[01:32:15] gas for the same money for a month, previous prices will no longer
[01:32:19] exist in any case, but it is still possible to negotiate, and
[01:32:23] simple arithmetic says that it is profitable, but for politics it is
[01:32:26] a pseudo-science, at least for Merz's
[01:32:29] politics.
[01:32:34] We were certainly comfortable in such a distribution of roles, cheap
[01:32:37] goods from China, cheap oil and gas from Russia, as well as security
[01:32:41] guarantees from the United States of America. This era, this
[01:32:45] business model of Germany is a thing of the past and it will not
[01:32:48] return. Instead, the Chancellor offers a different business model -
[01:32:51] militarization, to invest billions of taxpayer euros in its own
[01:32:55] military-industrial complex, to spend tens of billions on American
[01:32:59] weapons. On Friday in Texas, the Minister of Defense with great
[01:33:02] pomp received the first of the F-35 Lightning
[01:33:06] fighters purchased from the US, 35 of which
[01:33:09] were bought with funds from a special fund for the modernization of
[01:33:12] the Bundeswehr, a special fund filled by new
[01:33:16] debts, which will not only be repaid from unknown
[01:33:19] profits, but will have to be
[01:33:22] serviced.
[01:33:25] We see that the economy is collapsing, deindustrialization is happening.
[01:33:28] By the way, we already talked about this about 4-5 years ago, then.
[01:33:32] we were criticized, labeled as a conspiracy theory. Now you can
[01:33:36] open any economic newspaper, where every day they talk about
[01:33:39] deindustrialization. This is already a reality in Germany, and we want
[01:33:42] to stop this deindustrialization of the economy and the country.
[01:33:46] Alternative for Germany wants Russian gas, but a human chain to
[01:33:50] protect the Russian house in Berlin is formed only by the alliance of
[01:33:53] Sahra Wagenknecht, a dwarf left-wing party with extremely
[01:33:57] weak chances in this round of elections, as for the AfD,
[01:34:01] it has no sentimental feelings for Russia and its culture,
[01:34:04] only for resources, which is in principle
[01:34:08] enough for normal relations, since the Cold War
[01:34:11] all of the FRG's Ostpolitik was based on this.
[01:34:14] That is, the success of the Alternative, still a relatively
[01:34:17] young party, has deep historical
[01:34:20] roots, as does Merz's failure. The AfD on the week
[01:34:23] prepared to more than double its result in the last
[01:34:27] elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. And the Christian
[01:34:30] Democrats, with 6%, were
[01:34:33] on the verge of being eliminated from the Landtag. Add to this the grim
[01:34:36] prospect for the ruling parties in the Berlin elections, and
[01:34:40] the CDU finds itself in the conditions of a perfect storm. Once
[01:34:44] the now former.
[01:35:16] for Germany, owning a home is a great rarity, Germans, as a rule, live in
[01:35:19] rented housing. Since 2021, the cost of rent has increased by
[01:35:23] 36%, and sociologists have long promised
[01:35:26] a sensation. In the polls, the Left Party led,
[01:35:30] promising compulsory purchase and transfer to municipal
[01:35:33] ownership of real estate belonging to large housing
[01:35:36] concerns. So the Chancellor's party, which has been governing the city since
[01:35:40] April 2023, on the home stretch, saw the
[01:35:44] back of.
[01:35:54] CDU can only be one thing, much worse than the
[01:35:57] previous one, and for the Chancellor's party, this is already a domino
[01:36:00] effect. Failure in Saxony- Anhalt 2 weeks ago,
[01:36:03] today in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and at the same time in
[01:36:07] Berlin. In questions from journalists to the Chancellor, with whom
[01:36:10] this series of electoral catastrophes is associated, the subtext
[01:36:14] is heard more and more often.
[01:37:15] Germany, you are watching Vesti Nedeli, new
[01:37:19] figures from our CEC immediately after the break.
[01:37:22] We'll be back.
[01:37:26] We have more than thirty institutes under the roof of the Kurchatov
[01:37:29] Institute, we saved national heritage. On the
[01:37:32] eightieth anniversary of Mikhail Kovalchuk. In 2005,
[01:37:36] when I came here, the territory of the institute was not lit anywhere.
[01:37:39] Some pits, some concrete structures, it was generally a wild
[01:37:43] sight. Development of science. and this is always a political
[01:37:46] decision, we are independent and sovereign, and I am engaged in
[01:37:49] raising young people for decades,
[01:37:53] I have a whole galaxy, we are on the verge

[01:39:06] Once, kindergarten teacher Diana noticed that water did not quench
[01:39:10] thirst and was not retained in
[01:39:12] the body. Well, no one is getting younger -
[01:39:15] thought Diana. She didn't know how type two diabetes had gotten younger.
[01:39:19] The risk of its appearance increases after forty.
[01:42:36] You are watching Vesti Nedeli, new data from the Central Election Commission, after processing more than
[01:42:40] 18% of protocols in the State Duma deputy
[01:42:44] elections in the federal district, the United
[01:42:47] Russia party is leading, gaining
[01:42:49] 57.6
[01:42:52] votes. The CPRF is in second place -
[01:42:55] 13.98
[01:43:04] and A Just Russia has 5.11
[01:43:08] votes. Right now, we are moving to the headquarters of the United
[01:43:12] Russia party on Pokrovka. Our observer
[01:43:15] Evgeny Reshetnev is working there. So, preliminary
[01:43:18] data give United Russia a more than confident victory.
[01:43:22] Evgeny.
[01:43:26] Yes, hello. Evgeny, indeed,
[01:43:29] preliminary results are already being summed up, including
[01:43:33] here, at the party's public support headquarters,
[01:43:36] which opened a few weeks ago,
[01:43:40] here on Pokrovka Street, as, by the way, in 2021 it also worked here, this is not
[01:43:43] a permanent party headquarters of United Russia, a temporary one, which
[01:43:47] opens directly for the election campaign, so that
[01:43:50] forums,
[01:43:54] events timed to the election campaign were held here, here, by the way,
[01:43:57] all the proposals that concerned the party's
[01:44:01] popular program flowed in, this was a program that, as we know, was not written in
[01:44:05] offices, it was created by people who voiced their proposals, they
[01:44:08] came here, they were processed here,
[01:44:12] soon we will see how these proposals will become real, how they
[01:44:16] will be, how they will be adopted in our
[01:44:19] parliament. Recently, Moscow Mayor Sergei
[01:44:22] Sobyanin arrived here, who directly contacted the Central Executive
[01:44:26] Committee, with Dmitry Medvedev, who, right after all
[01:44:29] polling stations closed throughout the country, including in the westernmost
[01:44:33] region of Russia, contacted various
[01:44:36] regions to find out from them. The
[01:44:51] Kyiv regime did everything possible to disrupt
[01:44:54] the elections, in the last 2 months tens of
[01:44:58] thousands of drones were directed at
[01:45:01] Moscow, at the Moscow region, at our
[01:45:04] region, and the enemy was
[01:45:07] convinced
[01:45:09] that... he would certainly achieve his result,
[01:45:13] but the result turned out to be exactly the
[01:45:15] opposite: in Moscow, there was also a record
[01:45:19] turnout for the State Duma elections, in
[01:45:23] parliament, and citizens, on the contrary,
[01:45:26] consolidated around their leader, Vladimir
[01:45:29] Vladimirovich Putin, we see
[01:45:32] that plus our music,
[01:45:36] our good atmosphere. plus our
[01:45:40] observers, who worked with us for a very long time,
[01:45:44] very actively. Let me remind you that in Chechnya multi-level voting took place,
[01:45:47] residents of the republic elected the head of the region, State Duma
[01:45:50] deputies, members of the Chechen parliament of the sixth convocation, as well as deputies
[01:45:54] of representative bodies of municipalities. It is expected that
[01:45:58] the final results will be announced tomorrow at
[01:46:01] the meeting of the Election Commission of the Chechen Republic at 3 p.m. Moscow
[01:46:04] time. Artur Mustaev, Zelimkhan Buntushev and Aslan Loluev. Vesti

[01:46:18] In 2 months, Zelensky will have nothing to pay his military -
[01:46:22] said Verkhovna Rada deputy Vadim Ivchenko, since last Tuesday,
[01:46:26] Ukraine's budget only finances the Armed Forces of Ukraine and social
[01:46:30] expenses. The culprit was declared the dismissed Minister of Defense
[01:46:33] Fyodorov, who at the beginning of the year spent everything planned for the war until
[01:46:37] January. The announced
[01:46:40] public debt is impressive - 276 billion
[01:46:44] dollars, a budget deficit of 37 billion. And this
[01:46:47] despite the fact that Kallas announced on Wednesday that the EU has transferred
[01:46:51] more than 220 billion euros in
[01:46:54] aid to Kyiv. Where has all this gone?
[01:46:58] News of Ukraine's budget deficit alarmed European
[01:47:01] officials, who believed they had largely solved Kyiv's budget problems
[01:47:05] for this and next year, offering a package of measures totaling over
[01:47:09] 100 billion.
[01:48:10] in the Presidential Administration under house arrest, although on Tuesday his electronic
[01:48:14] bracelet was removed. The court decided that the device
[01:48:17] threatened Yermak's life and health.
[01:48:20] Prosecutor General Kravchenko, who encroached on American money,
[01:48:24] fled to Poland on Monday night, taking his official
[01:48:27] car and young wife with him. Without
[01:48:30] Zelensky's approval, such a maneuver would have been
[01:48:33] impossible.
[01:48:40] And then a typical Ukrainian twist. Kravchenko accused
[01:48:43] the head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, Semen
[01:48:46] Krivonos, of corruption. The very same one who signed the criminal
[01:48:50] case against the escaped Prosecutor General.
[01:48:53] Kravchenko called the operation against NABU "Emperor".
[01:48:56] The corruption circle
[01:48:58] closed.
[01:49:01] The so-called operation was directed not only against
[01:49:04] me.
[01:49:22] US Congress anti-corruption structures, auditors, called upon
[01:49:26] to monitor how Western money is spent in
[01:49:29] Ukraine. Krivonos's appointment to NABU was officially
[01:49:32] approved by Washington and Brussels. On Wednesday,
[01:49:36] the Verkhovna Rada unanimously dismissed Prosecutor General
[01:49:39] Kravchenko. Operation Emperor is currently on pause, but another one is in full swing -
[01:49:43] Carthage, which is being carried out by the same
[01:49:46] anti-corruption bodies not controlled by Zelensky.
[01:49:49] Under pressure from Western patrons, the regime
[01:49:52] was forced to adopt laws to combat fraudulent
[01:49:56] call centers, it turned out that 60% of the victims of
[01:49:59] Ukrainian criminals live in Europe and
[01:50:02] the United States. Western countries are shocked, instead of
[01:50:06] gratitude for the help, they became the target of a Ukrainian
[01:50:10] organized crime group. Zelensky was confused, on Friday in Bukovel, he
[01:50:14] announced a catastrophic budget
[01:50:16] deficit. You will be fine,
[01:50:20] will Ukraine be fine? rather willing to see
[01:51:52] Russia in flames,
[01:51:54] than to save Ukraine. Our daily losses
[01:51:58] are considered an acceptable price for achieving this goal.
[01:52:02] Waging a war of attrition for Ukraine is national
[01:52:05] suicide, not valor. Nevertheless,
[01:52:08] it is precisely this strategy adheres to the
[01:52:11] government of Zelensky. In Ukraine, corruption in public opinion polls
[01:52:14] rivals war as the biggest national problem. In
[01:52:18] the Ukrainian government, there are people who profit from the war,
[01:52:22] millions of dollars. Ukraine has lost all hope of
[01:52:25] winning. Mendel writes that since 2022, Zelensky
[01:52:29] has already rejected five options for a peaceful settlement of the
[01:52:32] conflict. Ending the war for him is, at a minimum,
[01:52:36] political demise. The arithmetic of decline according to Menzhel
[01:52:39] looks like this: Ukraine has already lost 20%
[01:52:43] of its territory, and another 10% is a zone of military
[01:52:46] operations. The population has halved, and people
[01:52:49] continue to leave. But also, the country is plagued by
[01:52:53] corruption against the backdrop of total poverty.
[01:52:56] Of course, this has been the case in Ukraine for a long time, but the scale
[01:52:59] of corruption under Zelensky is truly
[01:53:02] astonishing.
[01:53:05] The Northern troop grouping continues to eliminate the Reeznikovsky
[01:53:09] cauldron in the Kharkiv region. The Ministry of Defense reports today that the AFU positions in
[01:53:13] the area of five settlements have been affected within the encirclement.
[01:53:16] The Russian army is expanding its control zone inside and outside
[01:53:20] the cauldron.
[01:53:27] are colossal, at the time of the cauldron's creation, 1,700 AFU soldiers
[01:53:31] were blocked there.
[01:53:33] From the combat zone, a report
[01:53:40] by our correspondent
[01:53:43] Grigory Vdovin, call sign
[01:53:45] Historian.
[01:54:03] This is the newest modernized S300 complex. If it
[01:54:06] launches, it means that it is not needed, it will not
[01:54:10] fly any further. When the command to fire comes, it's one simple action,
[01:54:14] just pressing the buttons, and that's it, the missile
[01:54:17] is gone.
[01:54:24] One launcher - four missiles, but there's not just one such
[01:54:28] launcher here, a radar station also works in their
[01:54:30] interest, meaning air defense is a very complex
[01:54:34] high-tech system that we have,
[01:54:37] and here it is in action, while Ukraine has to beg
[01:54:40] for something similar all over the world. In a non-combat
[01:54:44] state, of course, the launcher is hidden and hidden well,
[01:54:48] the enemy doesn't like it very much, constantly trying
[01:54:51] to find it. These fragments are the consequences
[01:54:54] of a failed attack. It flew to our positions. We
[01:54:58] successfully repelled the attack
[01:55:00] with small arms. It boomed loudly,
[01:55:03] well, yeah. it detonated normally, everything
[01:55:07] just became much simpler, they added a new targeting
[01:55:10] system, that
[01:55:14] is, before you had to calculate it yourself, so to speak,
[01:55:17] now the machine does everything for you, that is, it determines
[01:55:20] the standing points and so on by satellite, everything that
[01:55:24] flies in our sector is shot down 100%. When we detect
[01:55:27] and track a target, we see its characteristics, its range,
[01:55:31] its speed, altitude, direction, and so on and so forth.
[01:55:34] We can determine from this point roughly what kind of
[01:55:37] target it is. There are some subtleties, nuances, but otherwise they are all the same. Is it
[01:55:41] an F-16? No, an F-16. I can't say. When I see
[01:55:45] a dot, I can't say it's an F-16. I can say it's an enemy
[01:55:49] aircraft. Here, this is where we take off our shoes. This
[01:55:52] is our shelter. We live here. A small,
[01:55:56] completely underground excursion into how the guys from the anti-aircraft missile
[01:56:00] brigade of the Center troop group
[01:56:09] this is our resting room. This is where
[01:56:12] our shifted shifts rest.
[01:56:15] A changing room. Washed hands, came in,
[01:56:19] dried off. So, put out the fire, the fire.
[01:56:22] Fire shield right away, fire
[01:56:25] crew. Here we have a dining
[01:56:28] hall. Today for lunch, there will be borscht and buckwheat with canned
[01:57:01] On that day, a crew was killed here, Lieutenant Vladislav
[01:57:05] Plakhov, vehicle commander, Senior Sergeant Ruslan Fokin,
[01:57:08] driver-mechanic, and Private Dmitry Ilyushin,
[01:57:11] operator. They died at their combat post, along with their
[01:57:14] launcher, not allowing missiles to go further into the rear, and
[01:57:18] actually covering that rear with themselves.
[01:57:21] So that everyone remembers and knows the price
[01:57:24] at which our common victory is achieved,
[01:57:28] so that relatives, children
[01:57:31] of military personnel who died in the line of duty
[01:57:35] know that they are remembered, they are alive
[01:57:38] as long as we remember them. The memorial was installed
[01:57:41] by fellow servicemen, and this refutes the common
[01:57:44] postulate that air defense is the rear, because their front
[01:57:48] is the entire boundless sky, the sky above our heads, which
[01:57:51] they need to protect and make
[01:57:54] peaceful. Grigory, Sergey Eliseev, Gennady Korniev, Vesti
[01:57:58] Nedeli, from the Donetsk People's Republic.
[01:58:01] Since the beginning of the special military operation, the Russian defense industry has
[01:58:05] increased the production of weapons and ammunition by 22 times, including
[01:58:09] high-precision weapons. Vladimir Putin cited such statistics
[01:58:12] when awarding domestic gunsmiths on Friday.
[01:58:16] Noting their achievements, the president emphasized that defense enterprises
[01:58:19] now fully meet all the needs of the armed forces and
[01:58:23] other security agencies. While increasing exports, the foreign
[01:58:26] order portfolio has already exceeded 70
[01:58:30] billion dollars, but first
[01:58:33] фронт. хочу поблагодарить российских
[01:58:37] gunsmiths for their initiative and
[01:58:39] innovation, for their serious, intense, and at times
[01:58:43] simply heroic work. Without any exaggeration, you
[01:58:46] competently and promptly solve complex, non-standard
[01:58:50] tasks, actively modernize production,
[01:58:53] work in multiple shifts, overtime,
[01:58:57] regularly go to the front line and
[01:59:00] study the use of your products in combat
[01:59:03] conditions, in order to...
[01:59:06] its characteristics. Modern and in many ways unique
[01:59:09] weapons and equipment are being created, which are rightly
[01:59:13] considered not only in our country, but
[01:59:15] in the world, among the most reliable and
[01:59:18] effective. Today, employees of the defense industry
[01:59:21] and their colleagues from related industries
[01:59:25] continuously supply the troops participating in the special
[01:59:28] military operation with the most demanded types of
[01:59:31] military products, which help our soldiers and...
[01:59:48] The order was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. On Thursday, the measure was discussed
[01:59:51] at a Cabinet meeting. The Prime Minister recalled the task set by the President to
[01:59:55] bring the reunited regions to the all-Russian level
[01:59:59] in terms of key development indicators in the next 5 years. Special attention
[02:00:02] to our border areas, including those
[02:00:05] areas of the Belgorod region where people lost their homes as a result of the Kyiv
[02:00:09] terror. Another decision concerns Crimea and its
[02:00:13] transport
[02:00:14] system.
[02:00:17] To consistently integrate Donbas and Novorossiya into the country's
[02:00:20] legal framework, the government systematically implements a number of measures, including
[02:00:24] those aimed at ensuring the sustainability and balance of
[02:00:27] the budgets of these regions. Border territories now need assistance.
[02:00:31] We will additionally allocate about 2 billion rubles to the Belgorod region
[02:00:35] so that citizens who have lost their homes there can build a new
[02:00:39] house or buy an apartment. At the President's instruction, we continue
[02:00:42] to organize congresses in Crimea to the coasts of the Black and Azov
[02:00:46] Seas. We will additionally allocate 3.5 billion rubles for the reconstruction
[02:00:49] of the section from Perevalnoye to Alushta. These funds
[02:00:53] will allow us not to slow down the pace of work at the
[02:00:56] facility. Once again, back to the election results. All
[02:00:59] voting days in Moscow, the public observation headquarters organized by the
[02:01:03] New People party are working. Our correspondent, Marina Gromova, is right
[02:01:07] now at the New People's headquarters and is on direct call with
[02:01:10] the studio. Marina, hello, how does the party perceive the results?
[02:01:14] So far, fourth place.
[02:01:18] Evgeny, good evening. Well, we are indeed at the headquarters of the New People party, the youngest
[02:01:22] party in our country. As you can see,
[02:01:25] there are many young people here, these are coordinators who have been receiving
[02:01:28] appeals from volunteer observers
[02:01:31] from the polling stations all day. Behind me is a dashboard with the latest
[02:01:34] information, which is constantly updated. Let me remind you of
[02:01:38] the figures that have already been announced on the air of Vesti
[02:01:41] Nedeli. According to exit polls, the total is
[02:01:44] 9.7%, Insamar 8.6,
[02:01:48] and according to the preliminary figures announced by Ella Pamfilova, it is
[02:01:52] 7.96%.
[02:01:54] Fourth place. Just a few minutes ago, the party chairman,
[02:01:57] Alexey Nechaev, arrived at the headquarters. He is currently giving an interview,
[02:02:12] time, this is a common, I think, merit of all of us, and
[02:02:15] the President of Russia also called.
[02:03:21] Kambulov, as confirmed by the Republican Central Election Commission, received
[02:03:24] almost 85% of the votes. Marat Kambulov
[02:03:28] was born in North Ossetia, most of his career was in
[02:03:31] Russia. He was Deputy Minister of Education. This year, the Parliament
[02:03:35] of South Ossetia approved him as Chairman of the Government
[02:03:38] of the Republic. Today, Putin also congratulated Kambulov on Republic
[02:03:41] Day. 36 years ago, on September 20, 1990,
[02:03:45] the South
[02:03:47] Ossetian Soviet Democratic Republic was proclaimed, which
[02:03:51] was the first step towards the creation of an independent
[02:03:54] state.
[02:03:57] 191 countries, just two less than are represented in the UN. Young
[02:04:00] people from all over the world came to Yekaterinburg for the International
[02:04:04] Youth Festival. Our beautiful city in the Urals
[02:04:08] gathered 10,000 guests. The festival
[02:04:11] shattered a lot of stereotypes that are stubbornly
[02:04:14] imposed on their citizens in Western countries.
[02:04:17] A report from Yekaterinburg by Anna Semyonova.
[02:04:32] The International Youth Festival welcomed its guests in all languages
[02:04:35] of the world. Zulu and
[02:04:38] Arabic,
[02:04:42] English and
[02:04:43] Korean.
[02:05:28] Brazil, Saudi Arabia, India and China. In total, representatives from
[02:05:32] 191 countries came to Yekaterinburg, for comparison, there are
[02:05:35] 193 in the UN. The broadcast
[02:05:39] of what is happening at the International Youth Festival is happening almost
[02:05:42] live, on all social networks, all video
[02:05:46] content is filmed in real time, including
[02:05:49] from Sergey Lavrov's
[02:05:50] lecture.
[02:05:56] Can relations between Russia and Europe warm up? The Russian people
[02:06:00] are multinational, they are patient, they
[02:06:03] are trusting, they constantly believe in
[02:06:06] the best, often forgive. Ilya
[02:06:09] Muromets lay on the stove for 33 years, he lay there, but
[02:06:13] then he still woke up. In those areas on which
[02:06:17] the security of the state depends,
[02:06:21] we will not conclude any contracts with Europeans,
[02:06:24] the more noticeable that people's diplomacy works
[02:06:28] flawlessly.
[02:06:30] For example, the Spanish were amazed by the delegation from the Republic of Korea,
[02:06:34] Russian drones, and
[02:06:35] also.
[02:06:41] Pakistanis are delighted with agriculture.
[02:06:43] хозяйства.
[02:06:47] And now the first business
[02:06:49] contacts are being made.
[02:06:52] There is a queue for cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko's
[02:06:55] autographs, and nearby there is another one for
[02:06:58] earflaps.
[02:07:02] Africans were most impressed by the boundless
[02:07:05] expanses.
[02:07:10] We don't have random people here, right? These are all opinion leaders in
[02:07:13] their spheres, different spheres, right? Politicians, bloggers,
[02:07:17] journalists, athletes, scientists, young
[02:07:20] businessmen, they are opinion leaders in their groups, they return
[02:07:23] with all these emotions, with all these convictions, and no one will ever
[02:07:27] deceive them again with stories
[02:07:31] about a hungry, ruined Russia and an evil one, no, it's
[02:07:34] impossible. And in 15-20
[02:07:38] years, many of them will become
[02:07:41] people who make decisions, including political and
[02:07:45] economic decisions in their countries. Now herring
[02:07:48] under a fur coat and
[02:07:51] a magnet for mom are going to Africa. Memories of the first apple
[02:07:54] picked from a tree in life.

[02:08:09] And new favorite performers
[02:08:19] are as follows: 95% of its participants have a positive
[02:08:22] attitude towards Russia, of which 70% speak of our country
[02:08:25] in superlative terms, there are no negative reviews. Stanislav

[02:13:41] You are watching Vesti Nedeli. On Monday, the leaders of Scotland, Ireland and
[02:13:45] Wales held a historic summit in Cardiff. They signed a joint
[02:13:48] memorandum demanding secession from the United
[02:13:52] Kingdom. The First Minister of Scotland, John Swinney,
[02:13:55] promised that a new independence vote would be held by
[02:13:59] 2031. The English village of Piddington
[02:14:01] has already announced that it is leaving Britain.
[02:14:05] Its residents wrote a letter to Donald Trump
[02:14:08] and asked to join the USA. A report
[02:14:11] from our correspondent Alexander Khabarov.
[02:14:14] This week a new principality appeared in Britain. Residents
[02:14:18] of the English village of Piddington, near Oxford, held a referendum
[02:14:22] and announced their secession from the United
[02:14:25] Kingdom. This was done as a protest against
[02:14:28] the British government's decision to house migrants at a former
[02:14:32] military base near the village. The idea
[02:14:36] of a referendum was proposed by the head of the local council, Tim McNeally,
[02:14:39] because in London. is today a turning point in the
[02:15:25] constitutional path of the United Kingdom. The First Ministers of
[02:15:28] Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland believe that their countries should
[02:15:32] independently determine their future. It took England
[02:15:35] several centuries to conquer and subjugate
[02:15:38] Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. In the early 20th century, a significant part of Ireland
[02:15:41] was lost by the English. Only six counties in the north of
[02:15:45] the island remained under London's jurisdiction, but they
[02:15:49] remained and still are a subject of fierce
[02:15:51] debate. independent from Britain and Ireland. Recent riots with
[02:16:07] arson in Belfast
[02:16:10] showed that nothing has died down there. Until now,
[02:16:13] Catholic and Protestant communities in Belfast live behind such
[02:16:17] fences, and every evening at 7:00 the gates close,
[02:16:20] and not just here, where Catholics live, but on the other side, where
[02:16:24] Protestants live, it's also
[02:16:26] all closed, you can't get in there. US President Donald
[02:16:30] Trump unexpectedly contributed to the collapse
[02:16:34] of the United Kingdom. I think there's Northern Ireland and
[02:16:38] there's Ireland. I think one of the most natural solutions in
[02:16:42] all history would be to unite them. That's just my
[02:16:45] opinion. And, by the way, many agree with him. It's worth remembering that
[02:16:49] the United States is the guarantor of the agreement on resolving
[02:16:52] the bloody conflict in Northern Ireland. We
[02:16:56] all agree that the people of Northern Ireland have the right to choose
[02:16:59] their own future. This is what we achieved under the Belfast
[02:17:03] Agreement. This agreement was accepted by both the Irish and
[02:17:06] British governments and the people of Northern Ireland. Americans
[02:17:10] mediated it, so it's a shame he's turning this
[02:17:13] issue into a political game. In London, they are now arguing about who
[02:17:17] provoked the rapid unification of Irish,
[02:17:20] Scottish, and Welsh nationalists. Trump or
[02:17:23] still the new British Prime Minister Indy Burnham, who carelessly
[02:17:26] allowed the possibility of a new Scottish
[02:17:29] plebiscite.
[02:17:31] This entire constitutional crisis was provoked by Indy Burnham,
[02:17:35] he was essentially the catalyst for all of this. I also think that
[02:17:39] the leaders of Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, by coming
[02:17:42] together, are doing so in order to have leverage over
[02:17:46] Great Britain. The loss of Scotland would mean for
[02:17:49] London not only political, but also economic and military
[02:17:53] collapse. Scotland is home to
[02:17:55] the only base for strategic Vanguard-class nuclear submarines
[02:17:59] with Trident intercontinental ballistic missiles. The nuclear arsenal is also
[02:18:02] stored there. In the North Sea, there are oil reserves
[02:18:06] worth 15 trillion pounds sterling. It is believed that
[02:18:10] in 2014, the Scots, having failed their independence
[02:18:13] referendum, missed a historical chance, but
[02:18:16] polls conducted there consistently show that the country
[02:18:20] retains a desire for self-determination. 47%
[02:18:23] support independence there,
[02:18:25] against 43%. Sovereignty is openly discussed in
[02:18:29] Wales, where for the first time in modern history, nationalists
[02:18:32] have come to power. I have a strong position that
[02:18:36] I have held my whole life. The people of Wales should choose their own
[02:18:40] future. The name of the party led by
[02:18:43] Yurvert Comrie translates as the Party of Wales. So far,
[02:18:47] 32% of the population are ready to vote for independence. In Northern Ireland,
[02:18:50] 32% of the population support the complete reunification
[02:18:53] of the island.
[02:23:37] in our program, Vesti Nedeli is a quarter-century old. The first broadcast aired on
[02:23:41] September 16, 2001. Since then, seven
[02:23:45] TEFI awards for best news program and
[02:23:47] repeated recognition as best presenters. Sergey
[02:23:51] Brilev, Andrey Kondrashov, Dmitry
[02:23:54] Kiselyov. Although all of them were much more than just
[02:23:57] presenters of the very first broadcasts of Vesti Nedeli, an author's
[02:24:01] program. With their view on events, you
[02:24:04] can agree or disagree, but... "no one could
[02:24:08] deny that this view was always clear and weighty,
[02:24:11] always supported by facts and footage obtained through
[02:24:14] hard journalistic work. About what
[02:24:17] made Vesti Nedeli the main program on Russian
[02:24:21] television, Dmitry Kaestra.
[02:24:24] So, for a quarter-century now, every
[02:24:26] Sunday, always with its country, formats changed,
[02:24:30] presenters changed, but Vesti Nedeli always remained a chronicle
[02:24:33] of the times. Hello, on air is the Sunday program Vesti Nedeli. And my
[02:24:37] colleagues and I will summarize the events of the last seven days. A program about what
[02:24:41] happened in the last 7 days, who happened. Hello,
[02:24:45] watch now. The first presenter, Yevgeny Revenko, was
[02:24:49] only 29 when the project was launched. We prepared the program
[02:24:53] in advance. The broadcast was scheduled for September
[02:24:56] 16, 2001.
[02:25:00] There were many interesting preparations, everything changed on
[02:25:03] September 11. Can you imagine, the first
[02:25:05] broadcast, it was off
[02:25:07] the cuff, and then events unfolded non-stop, the war in
[02:25:11] Afghanistan and Iraq. Program correspondent Alexander Minakov became
[02:25:15] the first journalist to report live on the start of attacks
[02:25:18] on Baghdad, and then during evacuation as part of a convoy
[02:25:22] of Russian diplomats, he came under fire from American
[02:25:26] military. Yes, when we
[02:25:29] started this project, such a goal
[02:26:20] was set. This was not a propaganda program, but a
[02:26:24] worldview program, we needed to somehow
[02:26:28] formulate an attitude towards social phenomena, and
[02:26:32] in this way, we connected the country. One of the main features of Vesti Nedeli became
[02:26:36] the author's position, many of the presenter's remarks, unmistakably
[02:26:39] sarcastic, instantly became quotes and
[02:26:43] spread across the most famous world news feeds
[02:26:46] faster than the broadcast ended. Russia is the only country in
[02:26:50] the world that is truly capable of turning the US into
[02:26:53] radioactive ash. LGBT values in the EU – that's
[02:26:57] a favorite. Coincidence? I don't think so. He wasn't afraid to call
[02:27:01] things by their proper names and say what he thought about world leaders.
[02:27:04] Obama started calling Putin more often, and
[02:27:08] sitting more. The chocolate king, it seems,
[02:27:11] is starting to melt, has floated away. He puts his hand deep
[02:27:14] under Yatsenyuk's private parts,
[02:27:18] lifts him like a latex doll,
[02:27:21] he helplessly spreads his straight legs, but doesn't let go
[02:27:25] of the bouquet. His descriptions in the program were accurate,
[02:27:29] merciless, without diplomatic niceties, they
[02:27:32] stuck in memory, they were repeated, they were
[02:27:35] listened to. Under Kiselyov, Vesti Nedeli became not just
[02:27:38] a summary news program, but a deep,
[02:27:41] authorial program, with sharp polemics and the presenter's personal
[02:27:45] statements. He didn't just report on events, he
[02:27:49] explained them.
