[00:00:00] the fact that, relatively speaking, uncertainty and
[00:00:03] risks have increased, so people are creating large
[00:00:06] reserves.
[00:00:08] Consumer activity, as noted by the Bank of Russia in the second quarter of this year,
[00:00:12] indeed turned out to be higher than expected, this is linked, in particular, to the realization of
[00:00:16] deferred demand, but in the second half of the year, the regulator expects
[00:00:19] consumption to return to more restrained
[00:00:21] growth.
[00:02:50] Georgia was once again left without electricity, all cities in the country, including
[00:02:53] Tbilisi, were plunged into darkness. Traffic lights went out on the streets, the metro was stopped,
[00:02:57] people were led to the surface in the dark. A large
[00:03:01] part of Abkhazia is in the outage zone. There is no electricity, and
[00:03:04] no water, everything due to another failure at the Inguri HPP. I will note that
[00:03:08] this is already the third large-scale outage in the last 2
[00:03:11] weeks. In the Tyumen region, the flood disrupted
[00:03:15] communication. Roads are blocked. The ferry crossing the Tobol river is not
[00:03:19] working. Several villages in the area of the Pyshma river were also
[00:03:22] cut off. In some areas, it is only possible to travel by
[00:03:26] boat. I remind you that heavy rains
[00:03:30] led to a large-scale flood. The
[00:03:32] heat in the Rostov region led to massive power outages, the Ministry of Emergency Situations
[00:03:35] issued emergency warnings, the air today, according to
[00:03:38] forecasts, will warm up to +40°.
[00:03:41] Residents were urged not to stay in the sun for too long, to drink more
[00:03:45] water.
[00:03:48] Well, let's continue to talk about the weather. So, the heat in the European part of Russia is reaching its
[00:03:51] peak. At the same time, in the west and south of the region, rains have begun.
[00:03:55] Anna Volkova will tell us more about everything. She is already in the studio. Anna, hello, how
[00:03:59] strong will they be? And should we expect floods? Hello,
[00:04:02] today in the central strip, only local short-term thunderstorms are possible,
[00:04:06] but tomorrow, when after the heat, a cold
[00:04:10] atmospheric front approaches, intense downpours and
[00:04:13] squalls are not ruled out.
[00:04:15] So, after heavy rain, the courtyard on Vatutin Street in
[00:04:19] Nalchik was flooded. Parked cars went into the water up to the hood. In
[00:04:23] 24 hours, the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria received 37 mm of
[00:04:26] precipitation, with a significant portion falling in a very short time.
[00:04:30] Storm drains, whose manholes quickly became clogged with
[00:04:34] garbage left on the road, in some areas, were unable to
[00:04:37] divert a large amount of water. Thunderstorms covered
[00:04:41] the west of the country at night and in the morning, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the
[00:04:44] Kaliningrad region. The day before, the air in the region warmed up to
[00:04:48] almost +33. Heavy precipitation has not
[00:04:52] been recorded at this time. The Kaliningrad weather station noted only 5
[00:04:55] mm of moisture. It
[00:04:58] flashed strongly in Orel in the morning.
[00:05:12] observatories in the northwest and in some places in the Central
[00:05:16] Volga Federal Districts, the sky is covered with
[00:05:19] cumulonimbus clouds, a warm atmospheric front,
[00:05:22] it was the cause of night thunderstorms.
[00:05:26] The main masses of cumulonimbus clouds are now
[00:05:28] concentrated near the Baltic coast, where
[00:05:31] the main core of the cyclone is moving. Tomorrow, the main
[00:05:35] zone of bad weather will reach Central
[00:05:37] Russia as well.
[00:05:39] Today, the Azores High can still push
[00:05:43] midday heat into the southern half of European Russia, and
[00:05:46] Atlantic cyclones will continue to move along its northern
[00:05:49] periphery, so the north of European Russia will be in the rain
[00:05:53] zone. According to model estimates, the daily precipitation intensity will not
[00:05:56] exceed 4-7 mm, in middle and southern
[00:06:00] latitudes, sunny and dry weather will prevail, however,
[00:06:03] local thunderstorms and heavy rains are not ruled out. The peak of the heat in
[00:06:07] the Russian Plain will fall on the end of the working week, with
[00:06:10] temperatures reaching thirty degrees. Thermometer readings will reach
[00:06:13] even the Upper Volga, and Southern Russia will be at the epicenter of the
[00:06:17] heat, where daytime temperatures will reach +35
[00:06:21] +40. However, such heat will not last
[00:06:24] long. In Moscow, today it is +24. During
[00:06:28] the day, a warm atmospheric front will cross the capital
[00:06:31] region, bringing increased cloudiness and
[00:06:34] a small localized rain, while the air
[00:06:38] during the day will warm up to +27 +30. On Friday, it will be
[00:06:42] warm.
[00:06:50] After the passage of the cold front, the heat will recede, and cooler
[00:06:54] air masses will begin to arrive in the center of the country. On the weekend, daytime temperatures will be
[00:06:58] +23 +26.
[00:07:00] Anna, thank you, Anna Volkova
[00:07:04] told us about the peak of the heat and the start of rains in Central
[00:07:07] Russia. To other topics, the first shift of the BARs
[00:07:10] detachment has ended in Udmurtia. This is an abbreviation for the combat
[00:07:14] army reserve of the country. For 2 months, the fighters guarded
[00:07:18] strategic objects of the region from drones. Marina
[00:07:21] Bal learned how the service went. The first shift of the BARS detachment,
[00:07:23] or the combat army reserve of the country, has completed
[00:07:27] its duty. For two months, volunteers performed
[00:07:31] tasks to protect strategic objects of the military-industrial
[00:07:34] complex of Udmurtia from drone attacks. Alexey
[00:07:37] Samarov has extensive military experience behind him. He participated in
[00:07:41] many combat operations, so he joined BARS without hesitation.
[00:07:45] For the past 2 months, our task has been to protect
[00:07:49] the Udmurt sky. Before starting service,
[00:07:52] reservists underwent training at Ministry of
[00:07:56] Defense training grounds, mastering tactical, medical, and fire
[00:07:58] training, and countering drones. The detachment in Udmurtia
[00:08:02] began to be formed on May 15. Not
[00:08:05] only retired military personnel, but also SVO veterans join the units, anticipating
[00:08:09] possible. adjacent
[00:08:42] now to the guarded object,
[00:08:45] it is important that volunteers are on duty only on the territory of the republic,
[00:08:49] the first group is being replaced by new BARs. Employees
[00:08:53] of enterprises, private security organizations, combat
[00:08:56] veterans are considered as candidates. The total amount of payments during
[00:09:00] the two-month service is from 75 thousand
[00:09:03] rubles. While the reservist is on duty, he is expected at
[00:09:06] work, his place is retained, he
[00:09:09] receives a salary. Marina Bal, Veronika.

[00:13:11] The boys call me weak.
[00:13:14] Son, true strength, it is
[00:13:17] inside, it is in
[00:13:19] knowledge,
[00:13:22] courage,
[00:13:26] perseverance,
[00:13:28] love,
[00:13:32] memory, in our
[00:13:34] unity.
[00:13:37] Strength is in each of us, in what we do
[00:13:40] together. Elections of deputies to the State
[00:13:44] Duma. Your vote is the strength of
[00:13:46] Russia.
[00:13:49] Railway troops of Russia celebrate today 175 years since their
[00:13:52] founding. The units successfully perform.
[00:14:25] but it turns out that the railway troops this year are strictly
[00:14:28] speaking, not 150, but 175 years old, everything
[00:14:32] as always, rails-rails, sleepers-sleepers, and also in
[00:14:35] conditions of combat operations. The railway heritage from
[00:14:39] Ukraine remained quite dubious, everything here is very
[00:14:42] clear. These rails are not just worn out, but
[00:14:46] worn out to such an extent that they cannot be used. Nothing
[00:14:49] has been repaired here, practically since the collapse of the
[00:14:52] Soviet Union, and precisely here a comprehensive military
[00:14:56] railway approach is very much needed. This path is being reanimated by
[00:15:00] the guys from the consolidated railway restoration battalion of the Center
[00:15:04] group of forces, and passing engine drivers, of course, greet
[00:15:07] the work of the military with a festive congratulatory
[00:15:10] whistle.
[00:15:15] Because they also cover their work. Here are shots of how
[00:15:18] railway soldiers shoot down one of the most harmful enemy drones
[00:15:22] today, the Hornet.
[00:15:26] In addition, railway sappers
[00:15:29] daily check hundreds of kilometers of tracks and
[00:15:32] sidings in the SVO zone, using drones, and, as they say, on foot
[00:15:35] in special equipment, because anything can appear here
[00:15:39] and in any way, and also in the most dangerous
[00:15:42] SVO areas, railway builders are already
[00:15:45] building network tunnels that turn
[00:15:49] death roads into life corridors. Structurally, it's not as
[00:15:53] simple as it seems, and here, a thorough approach of almost
[00:15:56] two centuries of Russian engineering school with iron
[00:16:00] traditions are needed as
[00:16:02] never before,
[00:16:05] but their main task is, of course, order. And for everything to be on
[00:16:09] schedule, especially in the SVO zone, despite everything, we
[00:16:12] can carry out track repairs of any
[00:16:15] complexity. How soon can a steam engine pass
[00:16:19] here? A steam engine can pass here in
[00:16:22] half an hour. Airplanes? No, no, only railways, that's our
[00:16:26] everything. Our interlocutor joined the railway troops after
[00:16:29] a civilian railway institute and a military department,
[00:16:33] and now, with the rank of senior lieutenant, he successfully commands
[00:16:36] his platoon. Give
[00:16:37] me the junction,
[00:16:43] you have fire, the dive began, and you finish
[00:16:46] here, understand? Well, of course, a railway soldier is first
[00:16:49] and foremost a warrior, he must be prepared for modern combat
[00:16:52] operations no less than for replacing
[00:16:55] sleepers. We prepare the first gift, after throwing the first
[00:16:59] grenade, we immediately go down to cover, we immediately prepare
[00:17:03] the second
[00:17:03] gift.
[00:17:07] I want to wish, first and foremost, strong health,
[00:17:11] especially physical endurance, overcoming all
[00:17:14] adversities, difficulties, obstacles, especially those who are in the zone
[00:17:18] of the special military operation. Railway
[00:17:21] troops are called to build and defend, victory will be
[00:17:24] ours. Grigory Vdovin, Alexander Botkin and Gennady Korneev,
[00:17:27] news from the Donetsk People's
[00:17:29] Republic. Now, an urgent message from
[00:17:32] Leninformagentstvo. Three teenagers were detained,
[00:17:36] who were collecting, on the instructions of curators, information about servicemen
[00:17:39] who planned a terrorist attack at a Rosgvardiya facility in Primorye, the
[00:17:42] FSB reported.
[00:17:45] Well, now let's talk about sports. Ilya Kostin has already appeared in our studio. Ilya,
[00:17:48] hello. FIFA has published an official statement regarding the sale of
[00:17:52] commercial rights to World Cups to third-party investors. Yes, the International
[00:17:55] Football Federation apologized for this initiative and said that such
[00:17:59] mistakes will not be repeated. More details in the issue, but let's start with another
[00:18:03] topic. Russian synchronized swimmers won their third
[00:18:06] gold medal at the European Aquatics Championships, which is taking place in
[00:18:10] Paris. Thus, our girls took the highest awards in all
[00:18:13] team disciplines at the tournament. Details from the scene from
[00:18:17] Daniil
[00:18:17] Makhalin.
[00:18:23] After the victory, you can already jump into the water yourself.
[00:18:26] So, the coach of our synchronized swimmers in acrobatics, Roman Izmailov, decided
[00:18:30] to celebrate another triumph. It's no coincidence that he, as part of the Russian national team,
[00:18:34] previously won world championship medals in diving... this is
[00:19:41] immense happiness, these emotions are indescribable, and
[00:19:44] the anticipation of scores, the announcement of scores,
[00:19:47] when you realize that you are first, standing on the
[00:19:50] pedestal, it's a fantastic
[00:19:53] feeling. The return of our synchronized swimmers to the international
[00:19:57] arena was spectacular, totaling the most awards at
[00:20:01] the tournament, once again the status of the best, which now
[00:20:04] will have to be maintained at the World Championships next year. and
[00:20:07] then at the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028. The
[00:20:11] skill that was laid down, and in general, I believe that the tradition of our synchronized
[00:20:15] swimming allowed us to mobilize at the right moment,
[00:20:19] quickly adapt, as it was yesterday with an additional element, yes, which
[00:20:22] they invented literally there - included overnight, and the most
[00:20:26] important thing is not that it was included, but the most important thing is that it was performed worthily,
[00:20:30] which led to victory, so this speaks of our colossal
[00:20:33] potential, and I am sure, this return, it...
[00:20:38] is significant, it is visible to everyone, so you feel a sense of
[00:20:41] pride from it. The Russian national team at the European Aquatics
[00:20:45] Championships continues to replenish its collection of
[00:20:48] medals, of which.
[00:20:52] four gold, four silver, and four
[00:20:55] bronze medals, and this is still far from over.
[00:20:58] Daniil Makhalin, Sergey Eliseev, Vesti
[00:21:01] Paris. An exclusive interview with our channel after
[00:21:05] the triumph of the synchronized swimmers was given by the head coach of the Russian national team, Svetlana
[00:21:08] Romashina. She spoke about her further goals and what she likes in
[00:21:12] coaching. You can watch the full version of the conversation today on
[00:21:15] Russia-24 after 12 noon Moscow
[00:21:18] time.
[00:21:20] I liked this idea that came to my mind for the first time: to become
[00:21:24] an Olympic champion and a coach of Olympic champions. This does not mean that
[00:21:28] I do it somehow only for myself, not at all,
[00:21:32] of course not, I like most of all in my work
[00:21:36] when I see a spark in the eyes of
[00:21:38] athletes, I often call them
[00:21:41] children, well, in conversation with our
[00:21:45] coaches, but I understand that some of
[00:21:48] them are not so young.
[00:22:04] we are not so far apart in age, but at the same time I still treat them with some trepidation, kindness, respect, and I really want them to see the same dedication in our eyes. The Russian men's water polo team under 16 years old defeated
[00:22:07] Montenegro at the World Championship, which is being held in Croatia.
[00:22:11] The main time of the match ended in a draw 8:8, ours were more accurate
[00:22:15] in the penalty shootout 4:3. The Russians won three victories in three
[00:22:18] starting matches.
[00:22:53] The International Federation has published an
[00:22:55] official statement in which it apologized for plans to sell part
[00:22:59] of the commercial rights to the World Cups to third-party investors. The letter
[00:23:03] states that this initiative, for which FIFA President Gianni Infantino was sharply
[00:23:06] criticized, is no longer being considered. The organization
[00:23:10] admitted its mistake, but noted that plans to sell the rights were considered in
[00:23:14] full compliance with FIFA's regulatory framework. Infantino also
[00:23:18] sent a written apology to the members of the international football federation due to
[00:23:22] the сложившейся situation. I will add that due to plans to sell part
[00:23:25] of the commercial rights to the World Cups, UEFA threatened to boycott
[00:23:29] the tournaments. The Asian Football Confederation and the Football Confederation
[00:23:32] of North and Central America and the Caribbean basin also
[00:23:36] spoke out against it.
[00:23:39] Lionel Messi scored his first goals after the World Cup. He distinguished himself for
[00:23:42] Inter Miami in a League Cup match against Mexican Atletico
[00:23:45] San Luis. Lionel scored twice in the eleventh and forty-
[00:23:49] fourth minutes of the match. These goals helped Inter win
[00:23:52] 4:2. For the Argentine, the goals were his fourteenth and fifteenth
[00:23:56] in eighteen games within the club season. In total, in his
[00:23:59] career, Messi has 921 goals, and Cristiano
[00:24:02] Ronaldo has 976 goals, but the Portuguese played
[00:24:06] 164 more
[00:24:07] matches.
[00:24:10] Moscow Spartak defeated Orenburg in the first round of the RPL Cup of
[00:24:14] Russia. The match ended with a score of 5:1. In the first
[00:24:17] half, the capital team scored two.
[00:24:50] and these: Moscow Dynamo in Voronezh with a minimal score defeated Fakel,
[00:24:54] Krasnodar defeated Grozny Akhmat in a penalty shootout, Zenit with
[00:24:57] a score of 1:0 defeated Kaliningrad
[00:25:00] Baltika.
[00:25:02] These were the most notable sports news at this minute. Kostya, it's your turn. Ilya, thank you,
[00:25:06] Ilya Kostin is following how competitions are held around
[00:25:09] the world. And to other topics. In Karelia, European diplomats
[00:25:13] faced condemnation from residents. Everything happened in the Sandarmokh
[00:25:16] tract. Victims of political repressions of years, and
[00:25:20] also Red Army soldiers and civilians who were killed by Finnish
[00:25:23] invaders during the Great Patriotic War, are buried there. Foreigners, accompanied by
[00:25:27] some Russian politicians and public figures, came to honor the memory of
[00:25:31] the fallen, but not all of them. Stanislav Bernwald will tell us
[00:25:34] more.
[00:25:38] At the entrance to the Sandarmokh tract, a chartered bus parks, and a chartered
[00:25:41] crowd, apparently, from among the followers of the extremist, already
[00:25:44] liquidated Memorial.
[00:25:47] Russia, right? Yes, Bernard Stanislavich, well, further
[00:25:51] more, two cars with diplomatic numbers
[00:25:54] park, blocking the exit for other cars. The Consul
[00:25:58] General of the Republic of Germany is currently heading
[00:26:01] to Sandarmokh. I wonder if he will lay flowers at the memorial
[00:26:05] plaque, which states that Red Army soldiers were shot
[00:26:08] here. Sandarmokh is
[00:26:11] indeed a terrible place. Prisoners of the Solovetsky camp from 1937-39
[00:26:15] of the last century were killed here. Later, during the occupation of Karelia,
[00:26:19] Finns shot captured Red Army soldiers here, but according to these
[00:26:22] people, Finns did not kill any prisoners here, and they generally
[00:26:26] did not know about this place, this is
[00:26:29] outright lies. Substantial
[00:26:33] Finnish trenches appeared here at the beginning of the Finnish occupation
[00:26:36] of Karelia during the Great Patriotic War. The Finn knew
[00:26:39] perfectly well what this place was.
[00:26:43] The graves here were fresh. Six kilometers from this place
[00:26:46] was a camp where Soviet prisoners of war were held.
[00:26:50] They were brought here, killed and buried here.
[00:26:53] Back in 2019, an expedition of the Russian Military Historical
[00:26:57] Society conducted a search operation at the sites of small execution pits
[00:27:01] and paired burials. The bodies of several people were
[00:27:04] exhumed, and soldiers' personal belongings, buttons from army tunics
[00:27:08] from the Great Patriotic War, and bullets of foreign
[00:27:12] production were found near the bodies. Prisoners were simply
[00:27:16] executed, but this is not an argument for admirers of the extremist
[00:27:19] memorial and foreign guests. Mr. General, just
[00:27:23] a few words,
[00:27:26] please tell me, please tell me, will you lay flowers today
[00:27:30] at the monument, which...
[00:27:45] The Consul General of Germany in St. Petersburg, Milan
[00:27:48] Simandel, and the First Secretary of the Czech Embassy in Moscow,
[00:27:51] Rostislav Toborsky, with tear-filled eyes, walk around
[00:27:55] Sandarmokh. First, they lay flowers at the monument to Polish
[00:27:59] victims of political repression, Jews, Georgians.
[00:28:23] to the memorial plaque for victims of political repression and the Finnish
[00:28:26] occupation, the foreign guests never approached. Karelian historian
[00:28:30] Alexander Stepanov recently published
[00:28:45] Russia as the successor of the USSR, in this scenario
[00:28:49] there is no place for those who defended the country from fascists and their
[00:28:52] accomplices during the Great Patriotic War, that
[00:28:56] we have only one, there is a correct victim, there is an incorrect one,
[00:29:00] who was shot under Stalin in our...
[00:29:32] was in history that they would not want to remember, Vladimir Popov,
[00:29:36] a close associate of Yuri Dmitriev, who is currently serving a sentence for
[00:29:39] pedophilia, participated in excavations in Sandarmokh
[00:29:42] in 1997. 7 years ago, he claimed that there could be
[00:29:46] no bodies of Red Army soldiers here, period. But after
[00:29:50] new search work and examinations were conducted,
[00:29:53] a completely different version is now being voiced, striking
[00:29:56] in its ignorance. Well, here
[00:30:00] they were shot in forty-fourth.
[00:30:14] I didn't shoot, and the Finns didn't shoot, and the Finns didn't shoot, yes, of course, that is, Red Army
[00:30:18] soldiers killed during the Great Patriotic War
[00:30:21] are not here, right, madam? I have no
[00:30:24] idea, I came here for a different purpose, please don't bother me.
[00:30:28] She didn't find the strength or perhaps the courage to come and
[00:30:31] bow to everyone who died in this place,
[00:30:34] and the head of the regional Yabloko party, Emilia
[00:30:37] Slabunova. It's understandable that for such people
[00:30:41] only one thing is important - to sing in unison.
[00:30:43] After wandering among the pines, enjoying
[00:30:47] the Karelian forest and fresh air, the foreign guests, who finally
[00:30:50] decided to film us, hurried to retreat.
[00:30:54] The others hurried after them. The chartered
[00:30:57] bus disappeared into the pine forest, the deed was done.
[00:31:00] Time to go home.
