[00:00:41] Russian drones sank two cargo ships with Ukrainian weapons near [00:00:44] Odessa, destroyed a gas station, a substation, and warehouses in [00:00:48] Dnepropetrovsk region. Everything related to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is under [00:00:51] attack. Details at the beginning of the hour. [00:00:55] Let's make the land [00:00:58] native. The invaders [00:01:08] suddenly lost electricity, but the spectators themselves sang military [00:01:12] songs to the light of mobile [00:01:13] phones. [00:01:17] The crew of the missing Cessna in the Irkutsk region was found alive [00:01:21] after three days in the Siberian taiga. How did the pilots survive and how were [00:01:25] they found without an emergency tracker? On [00:01:28] the shore of Issyk-Kul, the Russian- Kyrgyz Economic Forum started. [00:01:32] Vladimir Putin addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. What agreements [00:01:35] are planned to be signed and what [00:01:37] is being discussed? [00:01:40] 81 years ago, the USA wiped out Hiroshima with an atomic bomb. [00:01:44] The list of victims includes 3,500 people, but the Japanese [00:01:47] authorities again remained silent about the culprit. Why have American [00:01:50] presidents never uttered a word of remorse or [00:01:53] regret? [00:02:01] Russian troops launched strikes on targets deep in the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As [00:02:04] reported by the Ministry of Defense, drones hit targets in the Black Sea [00:02:08] near Odessa, in the Dnepropetrovsk region, in [00:02:11] Zaporozhye, which is under enemy control. Among those hit were [00:02:14] ships, factory buildings, and a substation, which the enemy [00:02:17] used for its interests. Vladislav Kharchenko assessed the damage [00:02:21] caused. Dnepropetrovsk region, black plumes [00:02:25] of smoke rise above the forest massif, the Bogdanovskaya substation [00:02:27] is burning. This energy hub powered not just residential areas of Pokrov and [00:02:31] enterprises of the neighboring Nikopol region, it held the logistical [00:02:35] pulse of an entire direction. Now traffic on the tracks is completely paralyzed, [00:02:39] electric trains delivering ammunition and provisions for the Armed Forces of Ukraine [00:02:42] have stopped. The energy collapse instantly turned into a logistical [00:02:46] dead end and significantly worsened the supply of Ukrainian troops in this section [00:02:50] of the front. The second time in a day [00:02:53] hit the substation. [00:02:56] Since three o'clock in the afternoon, there has been no light, no water. [00:03:00] On the street +38 on the [00:03:03] map, Odessa. Every day in the city's ports, our drones destroy the naval [00:03:06] potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On the horizon, not far from the shore, a dry cargo ship is burning, [00:03:10] which was used to deliver military aid from Europe, a little further are other [00:03:13] potential targets of the Giран-4 [00:03:15] drones. [00:03:20] Reactive Geraniums launched a combined attack in the airspace of several [00:03:24] regions of Ukraine in the Black Sea water area, south and east of [00:03:28] Odessa, with precise drone strikes. Two dry cargo ships with military [00:03:31] cargo. Simultaneously with this, a series of powerful hits covered [00:03:35] weapons depots in the part of Zaporozhye controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In [00:03:38] the Dnepropetrovsk region, precise hits plunged key energy [00:03:42] supply facilities into darkness, and the enemy's logistical hubs [00:03:46] were de-energized. A satellite image clearly shows the industrial zone in one of [00:03:49] the districts of the Zaporozhye region still controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There, a factory that the enemy used [00:03:53] for the needs of the army is also marked. Here it is still intact, but in the objective control footage, [00:03:56] thick smoke is already rising above it. A precise [00:04:00] strike in the Dnepropetrovsk region. In the footage from space, a destroyed [00:04:04] gas station on the outskirts of Nikopol is visible. [00:04:08] And the station itself also has it. The target [00:04:12] was the key transit hub of Lozova in the Kharkiv region, [00:04:15] through which the Armed Forces of Ukraine threw reserves from the central regions. [00:04:19] Footage from the scene confirms a direct hit. Traffic in the station area [00:04:23] is blocked. The transfer of fresh enemy forces in this direction [00:04:26] has been disrupted. Vladislav Kharchenko, Vesti. [00:04:30] In Primorye, a terrorist attack was prevented, as reported by the FSB. Three teenagers [00:04:34] planned to commit the crime. They acted on the instructions of a member [00:04:38] of an organization banned in Russia. It is already known that [00:04:40] residents of Vladivostok and Nakhodka have been detained. First, they collected [00:04:44] information about the participants of the special operation, including places of residence and [00:04:47] work. Then the accused found out where video cameras [00:04:50] were installed and where improvised bombs could be secretly [00:04:53] placed. During the search, components for [00:04:56] incendiary devices were found with the detainees. Teenagers face long [00:05:00] prison sentences. They admitted guilt and are giving [00:05:02] testimony. What were you detained for? Participation in [00:05:06] a terrorist community. What were your responsibilities? [00:05:10] Photographing the place of residence of a certain person. [00:05:19] In the Kursk region today, they remember the events of two years ago: [00:05:23] August 6, 2024, Ukrainian formations invaded [00:05:27] border areas. The enemy was repelled almost 9 months later. [00:05:30] As a result of the militants' actions, 640 people died. [00:05:34] Nationalists cut off all evacuation routes for civilians, [00:05:37] and those who tried to leave were shot right in their cars. [00:05:40] Elizaveta Bukrieva will continue the topic. [00:05:44] Anti-drone corridors lead to [00:05:50] Sudzha. Today, the wounded city is a place to collect [00:05:53] evidence of the atrocities of neo-Nazis. Almost the entire [00:05:56] road was strewn with [00:05:59] burned civilian [00:06:02] cars. On August 6, 24, Ukrainian Armed Forces militants [00:06:06] invaded the Kursk region. The enemy spared no one, cut off evacuation [00:06:10] routes and opened fire. Artyom Kuznetsov [00:06:25] will always remember the machine-gun fire that riddled [00:06:29] his pregnant wife's car. Nina died before reaching [00:06:33] the hospital, her son received shrapnel wounds, one [00:06:36] here, three here, one [00:06:40] here in the shoulder. Now Artyom and Matvey are in Kursk. They bought [00:06:44] an apartment with a certificate. The baby goes to kindergarten and often [00:06:47] remembers his mother, he misses her. They often visit her at the cemetery. [00:06:51] On the monument, the date that divided hundreds of thousands of people [00:06:55] into before and after. [00:06:58] How [00:06:59] so? [00:07:06] The atrocities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine became an additional motivation to quickly [00:07:09] liberate the border area. Northern fighters threw all their forces [00:07:13] into it. Our artillery and aviation [00:07:16] continuously shelled enemy fortifications and positions, and assault [00:07:19] groups advanced. The supply was very fast, that is, weapons [00:07:23] and equipment were issued directly from the Urals to the entire [00:07:27] personnel, that is, everything was so quickly planned, [00:07:29] in order to stop the enemy. The whole [00:07:32] country mobilized forces, thousands of tons of aid arrived in the region, [00:07:36] volunteers came from different regions, the People's Front [00:07:39] deployed a humanitarian headquarters day and night. [00:07:55] Stream, Russian attack aircraft in full ammunition and equipment [00:07:59] entered the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine through a gas pipeline. Participated in [00:08:03] the Kursk operation from the very first days until the days [00:08:06] when, thanks to Operation Stream-3, planned by [00:08:10] our [00:08:42] forces during the occupation, the amounts are returning home, [00:08:45] 170 people have already reunited with their families, smiles [00:08:48] and tears of joy at the meeting, the result of large-scale [00:08:51] work. The fate of about 300 residents of the Kursk [00:08:55] region remains unknown. We continue [00:08:59] to use all possible humanitarian mechanisms [00:09:02] to establish the fate of every person. The crimes of the Kyiv [00:09:06] regime do not go unpunished. Investigators have opened [00:09:10] 111 criminal cases, the lion's share under the article on terrorism. [00:09:13] More than 400 Ukrainian militants have already been convicted, [00:09:17] 83 received life sentences. Do you admit [00:09:20] your guilt? Exactly. As a result of the brutal actions [00:09:23] of the militants, 640 civilians [00:09:26] died, and 561 [00:09:29] people were injured. There is evidence of cases [00:09:32] of mass murders, as well as looting. [00:09:35] Neo-Nazis shelled the homes of civilians. Artillery and tanks [00:09:39] of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit shops, kindergartens, and hospitals. The local [00:09:43] school, the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to flatten it. If you pay attention [00:09:46] to the background, it might seem that the main destruction [00:09:50] affected the roof of the building, but in fact, [00:09:53] the collapse was so strong that it reached the educational floor. [00:09:57] All damage is recorded, the damage caused [00:10:00] to the region is estimated to exceed 500 billion [00:10:03] rubles. This is presumably a fragment of a projectile, [00:10:07] probably either from a multiple rocket launch system, or [00:10:10] artillery. To heal wounds. [00:15:06] to the participants of the Russian-Kyrgyz Economic Forum and the [00:15:09] Russian-Kyrgyz Interregional Conference. Both events [00:15:13] are taking place on the shore of Lake Issyk-Kul. The main theme [00:15:16] of the forum is the development of cooperation between the two countries in the economy until [00:15:19] 2030. Officials, heads of regions, [00:15:22] entrepreneurs, and experts from Russia and [00:15:25] Kyrgyzstan will participate in the event. The parties plan to [00:15:28] sign more than thirty [00:15:29] agreements. [00:15:32] One of the most important sectors of our bilateral cooperation [00:15:36] traditionally is energy. Russia [00:15:40] takes an active part in the development of Kyrgyzstan's energy infrastructure [00:15:43] and the creation of new generation facilities. This [00:15:47] year, we plan to commission a solar [00:15:50] power plant with a capacity of 300 megawatts [00:15:54] in the east of the country. Preparations are underway for the construction [00:15:58] of a modern wind power plant [00:16:00] in the same region. Russia and Kyrgyzstan are closely [00:16:04] cooperating in the humanitarian sphere, science, [00:16:08] culture and sports, through public and youth [00:16:12] circles, ties between citizens of the two [00:16:16] countries are strengthening. We continue the construction of nine [00:16:19] schools in Kyrgyzstan with instruction in Russian, as well as a campus for the Slavic [00:16:23] University in Bishkek. We regularly send textbooks [00:16:27] and highly qualified teachers [00:16:30] to Kyrgyz schools and universities. On the agenda [00:16:33] is the opening of a joint training center in Nizhny Novgorod [00:16:36] in the field of information technologies and [00:16:39] cybersecurity. [00:16:41] In general, Russia and Kyrgyzstan have the widest [00:16:45] prospects for mutually beneficial [00:16:46] cooperation. [00:16:50] The crew of the missing plane in the Irkutsk region is returning home. [00:16:53] The light aircraft Cessna of the fire department disappeared from radars during a planned flight on [00:16:57] Monday. For 3 days, the pilots survived in the Siberian taiga. How they [00:17:00] were found will be told by Pavel Marchukov. [00:17:04] A helicopter from the aviation rescue center delivered the surviving crew. [00:17:08] The first words after landing from the commander of the aircraft Alexander Nazarov and [00:17:11] observer pilot Philip Zykov were thank you. First they thanked [00:17:15] their rescuers, the pilots of Rosaviatsiya, and then they talked [00:17:18] to us. How are you feeling? Excellent. [00:17:21] How did you survive, what did you eat? Nothing, [00:17:25] at all, hungry, only candies. [00:17:28] The crew was immediately taken to the Bodaibo regional hospital, where doctors examined [00:17:31] the pilots. They had no serious injuries, they got off lightly, [00:17:34] minor damage. Superficial injuries. [00:17:38] Wounds, abrasions on the face of one [00:17:41] and the other, there are no serious [00:17:44] injuries at [00:17:47] all. Colleagues brought the survivors a change of clothes and food. The pilots [00:17:51] tell the story of their rescue. During aerial monitoring of forest fires, [00:17:54] visibility sharply disappeared in the fog, the plane landed on a rock. From these [00:17:58] shots, it is clear that trees softened the impact, while the emergency tracker stopped sending [00:18:02] a signal, so no one knew where to look for the crashed plane. They did [00:18:05] not lose hope. Who said these words? [00:18:56] What's the weather like, how will the weather change? Hello, drastic changes [00:19:00] will happen tomorrow, however, today the first rains are not excluded, which [00:19:03] will refresh the atmosphere. [00:19:06] Let's start with K. from Siberia, around noon, rains in Novosibirsk [00:19:10] slowed down the rise in temperature, yesterday it was [00:19:13] above +30 here, data on the intensity of precipitation from [00:19:16] weather stations will be available in the evening, but judging by the consequences, there was [00:19:20] quite a lot of it. The most severe flooding was observed on Vladimir Vysotsky Street, [00:19:23] several cars stalled in deep [00:19:27] puddles. This is how the courtyard [00:19:31] on Vatutin Street in Nalchik drowned after heavy rain, parked [00:19:34] cars went into the water up to the hood. In 24 hours in the capital of [00:19:38] Balkaria, 37 mm of precipitation fell, with a significant [00:19:41] portion in a very short time. The storm [00:19:44] sewers, manholes, which also quickly [00:19:47] clogged with garbage thrown on the road, in some [00:19:50] areas could not drain a large amount [00:19:53] of water. Thunderstorms at night and in the morning covered the west of the country, [00:19:57] lightning flashed and thunder roared in the Kaliningrad region. Yesterday, [00:20:00] the air in the region warmed up to almost [00:20:03] +33. No heavy precipitation has been recorded by this time. [00:20:06] The Kaliningrad weather station recorded only 5 [00:20:10] mm of moisture. It flashed [00:20:12] strongly in Orel in the morning, thunderstorms also reached [00:20:16] the Tver and northern Moscow regions. Small showers were observed [00:20:19] in the morning, particularly in Shakhovskaya. [00:20:23] Let's look at the data from the meteoradar of the Central [00:20:26] Aerological Observatory. In the northwest and in places in [00:20:29] the central Volga Federal Districts, the sky in the morning was [00:20:33] covered with cumulonimbus clouds of a warm atmospheric [00:20:36] front. It was the cause of the night [00:20:39] thunderstorms. The main masses of cumulonimbus clouds are currently [00:20:43] concentrated near the Baltic coast, where the center of the cyclone [00:20:47] is shifting. Tomorrow, the main zone will [00:20:50] reach central Russia. [00:20:53] Today, the Azore High will continue to fuel the midday [00:20:56] heat in the southern half of European Russia, and [00:21:00] Atlantic cyclones will continue to move along its northern [00:21:03] periphery, so the northern part of European Russia [00:21:06] will be in the rain zone. According to model estimates, the daily intensity [00:21:09] of precipitation will not exceed 4-7 mm. In [00:21:13] the middle and southern latitudes, sunny and dry [00:21:16] weather will prevail. There, nevertheless, local thunderstorms [00:21:20] and showers are not excluded. The peak of the heat on the Russian Plain will fall on the end [00:21:24] of the working week, thermometers will reach the 30-degree mark, [00:21:27] even on the upper Volga. And the South of Russia [00:21:30] will be at the epicenter of the heat, where at the peak of [00:21:33] daily warming up to +35 [00:21:36] to +40. However, such heat will not last [00:21:39] long. In Moscow, it is now +24. During the day, [00:21:43] the metropolitan region will be crossed by a warm atmospheric front, [00:21:47] marked by thickening clouds and small, focal [00:21:50] rain. At the same time, the air during the day will warm up to +27 [00:21:54] to +30. On Friday, in the warm sector of the cyclone, [00:21:58] cumulonimbus clouds will grow, showers will pass, thunderstorms [00:22:01] will rumble, in the middle of the day +29 to +32. After [00:22:05] the passage of the cold front, the heat will recede, cooler [00:22:09] air masses will begin to flow into the center of the country, on the weekend, during the day, [00:22:12] +23 to +26. [00:22:15] +26. [00:22:17] Yes, thank you, Anna Volkova told about how [00:22:21] heavy rains will drive the heat
