[00:00:48] About new professional education facilities that Vladimir Putin is
[00:00:52] opening right now, their task is to uncover all the enemy's
[00:00:56] secrets, how military intelligence officers celebrate their professional
[00:00:59] holiday at the front, a black mark for French authorities, throughout
[00:01:03] the country, new riots, clashes with police, repression in Kyiv,
[00:01:06] the SBU persecutes everyone who exposed a secret prison where people
[00:01:10] were tortured, and how not to be left without winter tires, a surge
[00:01:13] of online scams? About the most important and interesting right now in
[00:01:17] Vesti, in the studio Evgeny Roshkov. Hello. To create
[00:01:21] a program similar to "Time of Heroes" for our soldiers without
[00:01:24] higher education, so that they can realize their
[00:01:27] professional skills in civilian life.
[00:02:00] In the civilian sphere, to serve the fatherland
[00:02:02] just as they do it
[00:02:05] in combat conditions, but there is
[00:02:08] a problem, the problem is that in the "Time
[00:02:12] of Heroes" program, in the first and second waves, we select, of course,
[00:02:15] only those guys, those soldiers who have
[00:02:19] higher education, and
[00:02:21] it's better, of course, to also have at least some experience
[00:02:25] in organizational, administrative
[00:02:27] work, but...
[00:03:30] survival, large-scale destruction is being recorded today at
[00:03:33] the Pridneprovskaya TPP and several other large substations,
[00:03:37] de-energized production workshops, logistics centers,
[00:03:40] and weapons depots are burning. About the consequences of our attacks: Alexander
[00:03:44] Katsuba.
[00:03:51] Plumes of acrid, thick smoke over warehouses in the Sofievskaya Borshchagovka
[00:03:55] area near Kyiv. According to monitoring
[00:03:58] services, our forces have arrived here. Transport
[00:04:01] collapse on one of
[00:04:03] the busy
[00:04:07] highways of
[00:04:10] the Ukrainian capital, local residents, indignant at the prolonged absence
[00:04:14] of electricity in their apartments, blocked
[00:04:16] the highway.
[00:04:19] Giant traffic jams on roads in other districts of Kyiv,
[00:04:22] people left without electricity for 5 days
[00:04:25] are stopping traffic.
[00:04:30] In Vinnytsia, the Southern power substation was hit,
[00:04:33] a fire at the impact site, another Geran struck a truck parking lot,
[00:04:36] several cars burned down, and these are shots from
[00:04:40] Dnepropetrovsk.
[00:04:43] At the same time, drones attacked the Pridneprovskaya TPP, a large
[00:04:47] fire on the station's territory. Experts on TV broadcasts are already
[00:04:50] preparing Ukrainians for a cold winter. We won't have
[00:04:54] electricity not by the hour, but by the day. We won't have
[00:04:57] electricity not by the hour, but by the day. That is, as soon
[00:05:00] as more or less real frosts come, at least down to minus five, electricity in
[00:05:03] Kyiv may only be given for half an hour or an hour, and residents of the regions may
[00:05:07] sit without electricity for 3-5 days. In the Kharkiv region, a logistics
[00:05:11] terminal was hit.
[00:05:29] in Kharkiv, where attack drones were assembled, in the Black Sea waters near Odessa,
[00:05:31] a dry cargo ship with military equipment was hit. Alexander
[00:05:35] Katsuba, Vesti! In the zone
[00:05:38] of the special operation, our units are now actively advancing on
[00:05:41] the Dobropolsky section of the front, soldiers are pushing back the enemy in the area
[00:05:44] of Grishina Nadezhda, losses in the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the day there are 345
[00:05:48] militants.
[00:05:52] On night combat duty, the crew of a K-52 helicopter
[00:05:56] hunted for enemy air targets. Attack drones
[00:06:00] of the Center forces deprive the Ukrainian Armed Forces of electronic warfare
[00:06:03] capabilities. Locations are identified by protruding
[00:06:06] antennas, cable routes, and auxiliary equipment, while crews
[00:06:10] of the southern grouping are already working in the enemy's near rear
[00:06:14] in the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk direction, an American Humvee combat vehicle
[00:06:17] and two drone control points were destroyed,
[00:06:21] obtaining secret information, documents, information about enemy
[00:06:25] deployment plans, all this is part of the tasks of military
[00:06:28] intelligence officers, today is their professional holiday, veterans and
[00:06:32] active servicemen were congratulated by the Minister of Defense, about
[00:06:35] how our intelligence officers work on the Zaporozhye
[00:06:38] front line, war correspondent of Vesti, Eduard Punigov.
[00:06:43] Even on their professional holiday, intelligence officers of the Vostok group are working at
[00:06:46] the front. This is Zaporozhye region. The crew
[00:06:50] of unmanned systems of the 36th army is moving out for a combat
[00:06:53] mission. Along the way, the commander says that in recent
[00:06:56] months the situation at the front has changed dramatically. The massive
[00:06:59] use of drones by both sides seriously complicates the advance
[00:07:03] of assault troops. The situation in general is tense, but we are not losing
[00:07:06] heart, we are working, the task must be completed. The sky today
[00:07:10] is covered with thick clouds, but for... quite
[00:07:14] a large drone, with a wingspan of over 3
[00:07:18] meters, it is easy to detect from the air, and therefore soldiers
[00:07:22] try to act as quickly as possible, it takes no more
[00:07:25] than 10 minutes to fully assemble the bird. One of the best
[00:07:29] reconnaissance drones of the Russian army can circle for hours
[00:07:32] over enemy positions. When a target is detected, it is immediately
[00:07:36] hit with a precise strike. We mainly work on
[00:07:39] large, like MLRS.
[00:07:42] tanks, howitzers, like
[00:07:46] barrel artillery, what have you already hit with your help? We hit,
[00:07:49] it turns out, a self-propelled artillery unit, a "Gvozdika" howitzer,
[00:07:52] we hit a HIMARS system, we hit
[00:07:55] barrel artillery, well, we kill enemy equipment. Reconnaissance scouts try to fly deep
[00:07:59] into enemy territory to detect targets for artillery or
[00:08:02] aviation, as soon as the mission is completed, the drone returns to
[00:08:06] its starting position, it is immediately reloaded and prepared for
[00:08:09] a new sortie, start, start, start. Ready,
[00:08:13] a concentration of enemy forces was probably
[00:08:16] detected in the forest belt, either equipment or artillery, because
[00:08:20] the belt is quite dense, our task was to
[00:08:23] arrive on time and provide
[00:08:26] objective control for the use of aviation.
[00:08:29] The bird is controlled by an operator who is in an underground command
[00:08:33] post. According to the soldiers, the enemy is constantly hunting our
[00:08:36] scouts. For every one of our aircraft, the enemy sends three,
[00:08:40] four, or even more of their own birds to shoot down one of ours, just
[00:08:44] a month ago, a Hornet almost hit us during launch, but we managed to get the bird up
[00:08:47] and also successfully left
[00:08:51] there. Positional battles are currently underway in the Zaporozhye region.
[00:08:55] The enemy's Orekhovskaya group is trying to conduct counterattacks, but
[00:08:58] they do not yield noticeable
[00:08:59] results.
[00:09:04] The Ukrainian side is trying to slow down the Russian offensive with
[00:09:07] the help of drones with artificial intelligence, but this does not change
[00:09:10] the overall picture. Every day our army is confidently advancing in
[00:09:14] Zaporozhye. Eduard Punigov, Dmitry Vishkevich,
[00:09:16] Vesti. In Moscow today, the Patriarchal Council for
[00:09:20] Culture was held. The focus was on preparations for the 150th anniversary of the birth
[00:09:24] of Saint Luke of Crimea. The important date
[00:09:26] will be celebrated next year. The clergyman was an authoritative
[00:09:30] surgeon and scientist, and at the height of persecution he became a monk.
[00:09:34] He was repressed, but as the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church noted,
[00:09:37] despite everything, he did not renounce his
[00:09:40] faith. Now, much is being said about
[00:09:43] patriotism, but what is true patriotism?
[00:09:47] Saint Luke remained faithful to Russia in all
[00:09:50] circumstances of his life. He loved his country not because it was kind
[00:09:54] to him, but because behind the word "Motherland" he saw people
[00:09:58] who needed him. For Saint Luke, Russia was not
[00:10:01] merged with the state regime, with power, with
[00:10:04] ideology. He loved his fatherland because he keenly
[00:10:07] felt his involvement in the fate of the people, realizing that it was
[00:10:11] here that he could. This is an absolute
[00:11:02] hunter who could not get out of the taiga for 5 days due to
[00:11:06] bad weather, his partner died during a wild
[00:11:10] animal attack, buying car tires on the
[00:11:13] internet, especially now at the height of the season, increasingly resembles
[00:11:17] a game of online casino, what to pay attention to when choosing
[00:11:20] a seller, Oksana Maximova found out,
[00:11:24] buying new winter tires for an SUV seemed
[00:11:27] simpler than simple to Nikita. An internet search engine gave him a
[00:11:30] website where tires from a well-known manufacturer were sold at a
[00:11:34] good price. An email came saying that - your order has been accepted, we will ship within
[00:11:38] three working days. Naturally, no one shipped the tires. The entire
[00:11:41] deception mechanism is based on seasonal hype. Scammers create so-called
[00:11:45] phishing sites, web pages that disguise themselves as
[00:11:48] a well-known resource with a good reputation. The attackers are counting
[00:11:52] on you not spending much time on
[00:11:56] checking or rechecking, and also any self-respecting seller will not
[00:11:59] demand prepayment. One of the most reliable ways
[00:12:03] to buy winter tires without mistakes is to see them
[00:12:06] with your own eyes, measure the depth
[00:12:09] of the tread, check for the presence of all
[00:12:12] studs.
[00:12:15] We will show the full version of this special report in the evening edition of Vesti at
[00:12:19] 8:00 PM, so don't miss it.
[00:12:22] Well, next in our issue is a hot
[00:12:25] Black Thursday in Paris, Toulouse, and Lille, what our
[00:12:28] correspondent reports, why in Brussels at the meeting on the Ukrainian issue nothing
[00:12:32] was agreed upon, and what is known about the bus accident with tourists in
[00:12:35] Turkey, all the details in just a couple of
[00:17:40] Vesti is on air, we continue our broadcast and immediately return to the first
[00:17:44] topic. At the Kremlin, during the President's meeting with the government, the topic of
[00:17:47] the vaccination campaign in our country came up. Vladimir
[00:17:50] Putin invited the head of
[00:17:52] the Ministry of Health to the dialogue.
[00:17:55] Early November is the peak of the
[00:17:57] vaccination campaign against
[00:18:01] flu. I would like to point out that there is still
[00:18:03] time to intensify this
[00:18:06] work. Protect work collectives, including
[00:18:10] people who have contraindications to vaccination due to
[00:18:13] their health condition, contraindications, but if people around
[00:18:17] them are vaccinated, then they also protect those people
[00:18:20] who do not have the opportunity, due to their health condition, to be vaccinated,
[00:18:24] I emphasize again. Mikhailovich, have
[00:18:27] you had the vaccine yourself?
[00:18:30] Of course, Vladimir Vladimirovich, Mikhailovich, it is necessary
[00:18:32] that members
[00:18:36] also get vaccinated. Get your vaccinations, work it out.
[00:18:40] Of course, but I can tell you that I
[00:18:42] got vaccinated,
[00:18:45] nothing terrible, the Russian vaccine works
[00:18:49] fine, about two weeks ago, I think, they
[00:18:52] told me I needed to get vaccinated, I said, please,
[00:18:55] when, I said, today, boom, that's it, I was
[00:18:59] doing sports, I didn't stop
[00:19:01] anything,
[00:19:04] and I was doing sports full-time, absolutely. For
[00:19:07] all sorts of things. And another topic that Vladimir Putin spoke about
[00:19:11] was sports. The President emphasized the unacceptability
[00:19:14] of restrictions on Russian athletes in international
[00:19:17] competitions. By the way, regarding the international sports
[00:19:21] court, they make decisions in defense
[00:19:24] of the Olympic Charter and its principles. But unfortunately,
[00:19:27] not all countries are ready to comply with the obligations
[00:19:31] they once undertook,
[00:19:34] they continue
[00:19:37] to impose illegal, politicized
[00:19:40] restrictions on Russian
[00:19:43] sports, this is a clear, gross
[00:19:45] violation of law, court decisions, and
[00:19:49] therefore of the very institutions
[00:19:52] of democracy, this is exactly how it should
[00:19:55] be interpreted, our National Olympic Committee
[00:19:59] must certainly continue its work to protect the interests
[00:20:02] of Russian athletes. Five people died and 16
[00:20:06] were injured today as a result of strikes by Kyiv
[00:20:09] terrorists in the LPR. On the highway, drones
[00:20:12] attacked a regular minibus. The cabin was full, people were going to
[00:20:16] work or study, among the injured are several
[00:20:18] teenagers. Four patients are currently in intensive care. The condition
[00:20:22] of two is assessed by doctors as critical. In other
[00:20:25] areas of roads today, two more civilians died. One
[00:20:28] was hospitalized. Donetsk was also subjected to targeted
[00:20:32] shelling today. Militants struck private and apartment
[00:20:35] buildings. A car dealership was destroyed.
[00:20:37] In the college building, a children's playground, a football field, and
[00:20:40] cars were damaged, evidence of the next bloody crimes
[00:20:44] is being recorded by the Investigative Committee. And
[00:20:47] in Ukraine today, a court for 2 months placed
[00:20:51] the ambulance driver, who arrived at the house where mobilized men were forcibly
[00:20:55] held, under arrest. The investigation believes that Viktor Yen hindered
[00:20:58] the Ukrainian Armed Forces and disseminated information about the location
[00:21:02] of military personnel. The day before, two more were arrested in this case, these are
[00:21:05] medical worker Valentina Molodaya, she was the first to report
[00:21:09] the illegal detention of people, and Tatyana Kireeva,
[00:21:12] who tried to take her relative out of the captivity. And,
[00:21:16] it seems, new arrests are ahead, law enforcement officials stated that...
[00:21:50] security for Kyiv, yesterday the participants already met, but
[00:21:53] there are still no results. According to the press, instead of a general
[00:21:57] meeting, the delegations held several separate consultations, while
[00:22:01] American negotiators participated in the conversation
[00:22:04] remotely.
[00:22:07] Russia's position on Ukraine does not depend on the situation in the USA.
[00:22:10] Our country is sovereign and will in any case defend
[00:22:14] national interests either by military or peaceful means, if Kyiv
[00:22:17] shows political will.
[00:22:50] to secure its interests peacefully, until now this was not
[00:22:54] possible, therefore a special military
[00:22:57] operation is being conducted. How
[00:23:00] the new alignment will affect Ukraine, overseas media are
[00:23:03] guessing, given that the head of the White House will retain sufficient
[00:23:07] freedom of action abroad. While they count
[00:23:10] the ballots, analysts promise Democrats 259 seats
[00:23:13] in the House of Representatives against 176 for
[00:23:16] Republicans, although officially it's 242 for now.
[00:23:50] The Democrats' victory put under attack key Pentagon military
[00:23:54] initiatives, including the Iron Dome missile defense system and
[00:23:57] the Golden Fleet program. This is already reported by Axios. The White
[00:24:01] House lost the ability to quickly approve a record
[00:24:04] defense budget of one and a half trillion dollars. That
[00:24:08] now the decisions of the US president will be subjected to stricter
[00:24:11] control, foreign allies hope. According to
[00:24:15] Politico, Brussels sees new opportunities to advance
[00:24:18] its own interests.
[00:24:26] The new composition of the American Congress, new expectations in
[00:24:29] European capitals, Democrats gain control over both
[00:24:33] chambers. The results of the American vote in
[00:24:36] Brussels were immediately translated into the Ukrainian agenda. They
[00:24:39] hope that pressure on Russia and support for Kyiv will again
[00:24:42] be there, as before Trump.
[00:24:45] Undoubtedly, American voters clearly expressed their will. I
[00:24:49] hope that the new composition of Congress and the Senate will continue to support
[00:24:52] Ukraine, and also increase pressure on Russia. I hope
[00:24:56] it will be so, because as you understand, Europe and the USA are much
[00:25:00] stronger when they act together. What will the
[00:25:03] elections bring to Ukraine, they are guessing in Berlin, where they are looking for
[00:25:06] allies in both American parties. The German Foreign Minister
[00:25:10] said that he expects activation in the ranks of Kyiv's
[00:25:13] supporters. As for Ukraine, I am cautiously
[00:25:17] optimistic. associates it with
[00:25:50] weariness of wars and expensive living. We believe that the
[00:25:53] election results were influenced by wars, international tensions, and the rising
[00:25:57] cost of living, which directly affects...
[00:26:00] After Berlin, Zelensky went to
[00:26:44] Madrid in hopes of strengthening air defense and establishing joint
[00:26:47] defense production. Ahead are contacts with the American side,
[00:26:51] scheduled for November 10th and 11th, negotiations between
[00:26:55] Russia, Ukraine, and the USA in Abu Dhabi.
[00:26:58] Assiya Lyalinova, Vesti, Southern European Bureau. In Europe today, at least ten
[00:27:03] passenger planes made emergency landings due to bomb threats,
[00:27:07] three landed in Bulgaria, one each in
[00:27:10] Belgium, Italy, and France. One of the planes
[00:27:13] was escorted by fighters, another was diverted to a military airbase
[00:27:17] in Normandy. Those airliners were inspected, but none of the
[00:27:21] threats were ultimately confirmed. The beginning of the month
[00:27:23] is already the second wave of such false reports of planes
[00:27:27] being mined. Tense situation in French medical facilities.
[00:27:30] The malfunction was quickly noticed, and
[00:27:41] the contents were transferred to working units.
[00:27:45] Protesters in French cities are raising the temperature,
[00:27:48] the authorities' warnings of a black Thursday have already come true.
[00:27:52] The streets were swept by a wave of riots and
[00:27:56] pogroms. Anastasia Popova is at the center
[00:27:59] of events.
[00:28:03] Police are manually pushing teenagers off barricades and dousing
[00:28:07] them with pepper spray in
[00:28:08] Paris.
[00:28:11] Near Toulouse, a lycée was shelled with fireworks and garbage
[00:28:14] cans were set on fire. The fire spread to the building, which was almost
[00:28:17] completely burned down. The gates of the Bazho lycée in
[00:28:21] Lille were set on fire.
[00:28:23] Rebellious left-leaning students attack
[00:28:26] journalists working for right-wing
[00:28:28] TV channels. Spontaneous maps.
[00:28:35] and blockades in many French cities are under the scrutiny of the country's Interior Ministry, they completely discredit the movement, and
[00:28:38] that greatly upsets me, the police are doing their job, after all these
[00:28:42] provocations they will come and tell us: the police beat people, the police
[00:28:46] kill them, all this against the backdrop of hundreds of thousands of peaceful marches
[00:28:49] and strikes that have engulfed all of France. After Black Tuesday,
[00:28:53] an equally black Thursday. France, despite being a working day,
[00:28:57] is paralyzed by mass mobilization, students and
[00:29:00] teachers have been joined by yellow vests, civil servants,
[00:29:03] railway workers, and even entrepreneurs, almost nine
[00:29:06] out of ten French people agree with why these
[00:29:09] people took to the streets, life has become expensive, and purchasing
[00:29:13] power has fallen sharply, all the details in the evening edition
[00:29:16] of Vesti. And also about some notable events
[00:29:20] in the world: on the Aksaray highway in Turkey, a passenger
[00:29:24] bus overturned, at least 16 tourists from
[00:29:27] Brazil, Costa Rica, and Taiwan were injured, all were hospitalized.
[00:29:30] Let me remind you that today after the evening news
[00:30:12] on our channel, the continuation of the thrilling series "Barents
[00:30:15] Sea" will be shown, and we continue to follow the development of events,
[00:30:18] stay with Vesti. We welcome everyone who has turned on their
[00:30:37] televisions, stay tuned to the Russia TV channel, the second evening,
[00:30:41] a special edition of our program "Expedition to
[00:30:44] Chukotka", the easternmost region of our
[00:30:47] country, a true region.
