[00:00:00] on the agenda is the creation of mechanisms for emergency shutdown of the model.
[00:00:03] Yury, these are the trends we have, well yes, the main thing is that they are not
[00:00:06] ahead of us. My colleague Emil Mersaev spoke about the rapid development of
[00:00:10] artificial intelligence technologies.
[00:00:44] We continue our news review. Russian military struck workshops of the former
[00:00:47] Neftiprom-Mash enterprise in the city of Okhtyrka, Sumy region. According to
[00:00:51] the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces of Ukraine used these premises for the repair and storage of automotive
[00:00:55] equipment, drones and their components. Today it
[00:00:58] became known that in Kherson.
[00:01:16] In Pavlograd, Dnipropetrovsk region, the targets of Russian drones were
[00:01:19] a parking lot for large vehicles. According to
[00:01:22] the Ministry of Defense, the enemy used this territory for covert transportation
[00:01:26] of drones and their parts. Earlier today.
[00:01:30] reported a strike on the warehouses and production facilities of the Zaporizhzhia
[00:01:33] consumer goods factory, in Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk region,
[00:01:37] a gas station was destroyed, where fuels and lubricants for
[00:01:40] the Armed Forces of Ukraine units were located, in Pokrovsk, a power substation that, among
[00:01:44] other things, provided for the movement of electric trains to supply the Ukrainian
[00:01:47] army. In addition, the Ministry of Defense stated that the Russian
[00:01:50] armed forces continued to launch strikes on naval vessels involved in
[00:01:54] the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The day before yesterday evening, in the Black Sea waters near
[00:01:57] Odesa, Russian UAVs attacked.
[00:02:30] systems of the Southern Military District are preparing for a mission, equipping
[00:02:33] F5 drones with high-power ammunition,
[00:02:37] with the goal of destroying strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Druzhkovka
[00:02:40] direction of the front, where there is a powerful fortified area
[00:02:43] of Ukrainian militants. I fly on fiber optics,
[00:02:47] mainly it is KVN, Prince
[00:02:50] Vladimir of Novgorod, personally
[00:02:53] for me, this is the best bird now, the ability
[00:02:57] to fly into any
[00:03:00] corner. One of the last targets was
[00:03:03] manpower in a shelter in the settlement
[00:03:07] of Druzhkovka. The Tigor armored vehicle delivered
[00:03:10] the soldiers to the control point, then the UAV crew walked through
[00:03:14] the forest belts, it is necessary to covertly approach the enemy.
[00:03:17] The range of the FPV drone is several tens of kilometers.
[00:03:21] Control is carried out through fiber optics. Thanks to this,
[00:03:24] drones cannot be interfered with by enemy electronic warfare stations.
[00:03:28] The operator sees the picture of the form.
[00:03:31] We hang different shells, cumulative,
[00:03:33] high-explosive fragmentation, if it's enemy infantry, we hang
[00:03:37] fragmentation shells, if it flies somewhere, then we need
[00:03:40] high-explosive or thermobaric. The drone rose into the sky and after a few minutes
[00:03:44] crashed onto the enemy's location. The enemy had entrenched themselves in
[00:03:47] the basement of the house. A scattered group of militants are trying to gain a foothold in
[00:03:51] this settlement. The unit of the southern grouping of troops immediately
[00:03:55] destroys the militants. For reconnaissance,
[00:03:58] drones are also used. With an open communication channel, the picture from the drones
[00:04:02] is transmitted to the UAV control center. Specialists
[00:04:05] monitor the operational situation around the clock.
[00:04:08] Drones strike the enemy both at the front line and deep
[00:04:12] behind their lines. Fighters launch a mass of aircraft-type
[00:04:15] drones, each equipped with large ammunition, destroying deployment
[00:04:19] points, weapons depots, blocking the delivery of reinforcements to
[00:04:23] the front line. Modern combat operations
[00:04:25] have shown how important the work of
[00:04:29] unmanned systems is in this direction.
[00:04:32] Active work is underway on our part,
[00:04:35] units of the southern grouping of forces are advancing,
[00:04:39] civilians are being evacuated from liberated settlements, the enemy is striking at
[00:04:43] people, trying to prevent evacuation. Lately,
[00:04:46] they have been attacking civilians. They understand that they
[00:04:50] are losing this war, they have already
[00:04:53] lost their humanity, perhaps, or they have become embittered, to cause more
[00:04:56] damage, to hurt perhaps. Soldiers of the 75th
[00:05:00] separate unmanned systems regiment detect and destroy drone launch
[00:05:03] points, control centers, and also shoot down
[00:05:06] attack UAVs. Every destroyed air target saves
[00:05:10] lives. Igor Pikhanov, Vladislav Mirzayan.
[00:05:42] I want to report to you that this task
[00:05:44] is being fulfilled.
[00:05:47] This year we should have reached a level of
[00:05:50] 5.8 trillion in this period, that's right.
[00:05:54] Now we have 6.5, so
[00:05:56] we will try. In previous years we also exceeded,
[00:06:00] tried,
[00:06:01] it worked, thanks to
[00:06:05] your decisions,
[00:06:09] the dynamics of the main indicators of the development of the Far East
[00:06:13] exceed the average Russian indicators by
[00:06:17] investments a one and a half times increase, in
[00:06:20] industrial production by 20%,
[00:06:23] in manufacturing by 1.8 times
[00:06:26] and the volume of construction work exceeds
[00:06:29] the average Russian level by one and a half times, that's what we
[00:06:33] aimed for, in fact, this is thanks to your decisions on
[00:06:36] creating a preferential
[00:06:40] very good, we also consider important work to
[00:06:43] support the special military operation in the Far East.
[00:06:47] The territory of advanced development
[00:06:49] works patriotically, it allowed to deliver more than
[00:06:53] 600,000
[00:06:55] items to the combat zone, in addition, I consider it
[00:06:59] important that 3,600
[00:07:02] state and municipal employees, employees
[00:07:05] of the Ministry for the Development of the Far East, the Plenipotentiary
[00:07:08] Representative of the President, also went through the school of combat
[00:07:12] operations, they, in my opinion, are
[00:07:16] better motivated, and we can entrust them with important areas
[00:07:34] always full of surprises, you either find a treasure, or
[00:07:38] the repair estimate grows, more often the latter. In business there are enough...

[00:11:16] Ankara is ready to provide any support to negotiations between the US and Iran, said
[00:11:20] Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. He also expressed hope for
[00:11:23] the soonest opening of Hormuz.
[00:11:36] Iran and Oman have agreed on the main provisions of the project for
[00:11:39] opening the Strait of Hormuz. With such headlines, articles are published today in
[00:11:43] world media: the agreement provides for the creation of separate
[00:11:47] routes for incoming and outgoing
[00:11:50] vessels. According to Reuters, control over them will go to
[00:11:53] Iran. It gives Iran the right to control traffic
[00:11:57] through the strait, which would mean that the war started by the United
[00:12:00] States and Israel in February led to a serious shift in the balance of regional
[00:12:04] forces in favor of Tehran. The strait was open to all
[00:12:07] ships, without any fees. According to media reports, it refers to
[00:12:11] transit fees for vessels ranging from 3 to 7% of
[00:12:15] the value of the transported cargo. And a new navigation regime will be established
[00:12:19] in the strait, which will differ from what
[00:12:22] has been in effect for the last 60 years. American. Senators were
[00:12:26] unhappy with such a situation.
[00:12:29] So what's going on with this war in Iran? Let me
[00:12:33] tell you. Yesterday, Trump said that his goal is now
[00:12:36] to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which, by the way, was open even before
[00:12:39] the war, that is, his goal is actually to fix what he himself
[00:12:43] destroyed. And what did Americans get in return?
[00:12:46] Well, they got higher costs, our country became
[00:12:50] less safe because of the amount of ammunition he
[00:12:54] used.
[00:13:08] Islamic
[00:13:09] Republic.
[00:13:12] Our pilots were trained to fly fighter jets on various missions,
[00:13:16] using only maps and elementary systems, without relying on GPS
[00:13:20] or inertial navigation. Perhaps our
[00:13:22] trump card was that our aircraft was not available.
[00:14:25] to them in the theater of military operations compared to what we started with, and they have to transfer
[00:14:29] missiles from other conflict zones, the same applies to
[00:14:32] missiles for air defense. Here it's simple math: if you
[00:14:35] send 10 missiles to shoot down one, every time they launch only one
[00:14:39] missile, then you lose 10. Sooner or later they
[00:14:43] will have a clear advantage in the number of missiles, and we have nothing
[00:14:46] to replace our depleted missiles with. The Washington Post also writes
[00:14:49] about the shortage of ammunition for the war in the Middle East, noting that Trump blamed
[00:14:52] the head of the Pentagon for the deficit and the concealment of real data,
[00:14:56] who in turn blamed his deputy for everything.
[00:14:59] Donald Trump clearly did not like the article.
[00:15:03] The US has huge stockpiles of ammunition,
[00:15:06] especially certain types. In addition, newly produced ammunition
[00:15:10] is arriving in large volumes in the United States if necessary.
[00:15:13] Defense companies are building the largest number of factories and
[00:15:17] production facilities in our country in its entire history. Persons who allow these
[00:15:21] treacherous leaks of information are being sought, for them there will be.
[00:15:27] One way or another, according to Western media, it was the shortage of ammunition in
[00:15:31] the United States that caused the refusal to supply
[00:15:35] Ukraine with Patriot air defense missiles.
[00:15:39] In the short term, as long as the war with Iran continues,
[00:15:42] priorities will remain focused there,
[00:15:45] only after its end attention may again shift to
[00:15:49] Ukraine, but in the near future Ukraine will have a very
[00:15:52] hard time. And Volodymyr Zelensky, apparently, understands this,
[00:15:56] even managed to complain, stating that Kyiv is thus trying to
[00:15:59] make it more compliant. Evgenia Zemtsova
[00:16:03] Shevchenko.
[00:16:39] our volunteer group came to honor the memory
[00:16:43] of Diana and Roman, as we actively participated in
[00:16:46] the search, helping the police with this difficult
[00:16:49] matter. In the jungle, where the bodies were found, approximately 300 meters from
[00:16:53] the highway, there is a mountain of tropical flowers, wreaths of red and
[00:16:57] white roses. Everything that happened in the country is experienced as a tragedy.
[00:17:00] The Prime Minister apologized, obliged the government to take
[00:17:04] urgent measures so that this would not happen again, the caught murderers.
[00:17:11] were almost torn apart by the Thais themselves at the police station in Pattaya. Here we
[00:17:14] see a great will of spirit and, accordingly, the triumph
[00:17:18] of the law, because the murderers were immediately found, imprisoned, and
[00:17:21] punishment awaits them. Local motorcycle taxis,
[00:17:25] tuk-tuks, do not charge Russian tourists for
[00:17:28] the ride. No, no, it's free, for
[00:17:31] Russia it's free. After the terrible scandal with tourists from Russia, something is happening
[00:17:35] in Georgia.
[00:19:37] radicals, there are people who are ready at any moment
[00:19:41] to connect and rush out into the street, as they
[00:19:44] did that evening, so to speak, to
[00:19:47] support their own, he turned out to be a person
[00:19:50] from the national movement, this person
[00:19:53] turned out to have been involved, it's not
[00:19:56] the first case, he also had
[00:19:59] similar cases,
[00:20:02] and the fact that he was released for $500 does not
[00:20:06] mean that he won't... It is clear that every society has
[00:20:09] scum, the question is what reaction their actions evoke in
[00:20:12] the majority, in the government. Tourism is an important budget
[00:20:16] item for both Thailand and Georgia, but in both cases it is not only and not
[00:20:20] so much about economics, but about human relations. After the terrible
[00:20:23] events, Thailand manages it somewhat
[00:20:27] warmer. Anton Tokovenko,
[00:20:29] Vesti. In Russian universities, more than
[00:20:33] 62 thousand additional places will appear after the completion of priority
[00:20:37] enrollment. By quotas, this was stated by the Minister of Science and Higher Education
[00:20:40] Valery Falkov. Among applicants, the most popular specialties are
[00:20:43] engineering, as well as those related to information technologies,
[00:20:47] mathematics and natural sciences. But there is
[00:20:50] a direction where an unprecedented jump is visible. Zinaida Kurbatova will tell
[00:20:54] which ones. August 6th is considered a day
[00:20:58] of silence for university applicants. The day before, until 12 p.m. Moscow
[00:21:01] time, applicants applying based on
[00:21:05] USE results had to finally decide on university enrollment. The so-called
[00:21:08] priority stage, determined even earlier on August
[00:21:11] 3rd, is the stage at which the university allocates a portion of budget
[00:21:15] places for applicants with special rights and benefits. And only after
[00:21:19] that comes. Noted
[00:21:20] that
[00:21:26] 117,000 people have already been enrolled
[00:21:28] in Russian universities by quotas, for participants of the
[00:21:32] SVO and their children,
[00:21:33] 56,684
[00:21:36] places have been allocated, 41,811
[00:21:40] people have been enrolled under this quota. We see that the enrollment process under the targeted
[00:21:44] quota is going better. The targeted quota is when students are enrolled
[00:21:48] in targeted places based on agreements with organizations, enterprises,
[00:21:50] and authorities, and will subsequently work for those with whom they signed
[00:21:54] agreements. So this year, our indicators are also
[00:21:57] better than last year, by approximately 12%, more than
[00:22:01] 62 thousand remaining budget
[00:22:05] places by quotas have been transferred to the main
[00:22:08] competition. As for paid admission, this story
[00:22:11] is being structured, as the minister emphasized, the number of places on a paid basis
[00:22:14] has been reduced in non-specialized universities, in some they have even been removed completely.
[00:22:18] Decisions are made taking into account the labor market. The oversupply of lawyers and
[00:22:21] managers who cannot find employment is not needed by anyone.
[00:22:25] Traditionally, the minister spoke about specialties that are chosen
[00:22:28] more and more often, engineers and IT specialists are leading,
[00:22:32] interest in urban planning is clearly increasing, but there are also specialties where an unprecedented
[00:22:35] surge is visible. This is fundamental and applied physics, an absolute leader, the number of
[00:22:39] applications has increased by 2.2 times, well
[00:22:43] in particular, last year there were 3,380, this year
[00:22:46] 8,648, of course, the number of applications itself
[00:22:50] is not yet the final determining
[00:22:53] factor that this will be the most
[00:22:56] popular specialty, but nevertheless it indicates interest or
[00:23:00] shows, points to the interest of applicants, which is very important,
[00:23:03] from this such long trends are formed, aircraft and
[00:23:06] helicopter engineering, the number of applications has doubled, therefore,
[00:23:10] and this is a signal for us to allocate more budget
[00:23:13] places in subsequent years. The entire system of higher education is gradually
[00:23:17] being switched to the so-called new, or one could
[00:23:21] say well-forgotten old model, when an applicant enters a university
[00:23:24] studies for 5-6 years, receiving not just a craft, but a fundamental
[00:23:27] education. The figures show that students want to study for 6 years,
[00:23:31] and not enter a bachelor's degree, and then a master's degree, so
[00:23:35] the competition for universities is growing, there are 17 in the country
[00:23:38] that teach under the new model, unlike the specialist degree, the new model
[00:23:42] implies greater ties with industry, the situation
[00:23:46] with admission to regional universities is changing. Large cities are always more attractive,
[00:23:50] in this there is a
[00:23:53] long-standing university or
[00:23:56] scientific and educational complex, but
[00:23:59] in recent years we see that
[00:24:01] the interregional
[00:24:04] situation with applicants moving from one region to another, it
[00:24:08] is changing, if previously the main
[00:24:11] places of departure were two large agglomerations, then
[00:24:14] now, including using the super-service opportunity to enter universities
[00:24:18] online, many applicants see
[00:24:21] the situation, see their chances, and choose
[00:24:24] other good Russian cities for education,
[00:24:27] Tomsk, Nizhny Novgorod,
[00:24:31] Khabarovsk, Vladivostok,
[00:24:34] Chelyabinsk. The minister did not touch upon the topic of admission
[00:24:37] for olympiad winners, but these days the rector of MGIMO, Anatoly
[00:24:40] Torkunov, proposed quotas for admission for olympiad
[00:24:44] winners. He believes that such applicants
[00:24:47] should be given 10-15% of budget places,
[00:24:50] however, as is known, the results of this admission campaign will be summed up in
[00:24:53] September, rectors and students will express their opinions, and in
[00:24:57] November new rules for the 2027
[00:25:00] admission campaign will be announced.
[00:25:04] Zinaida Kurbatova, Vesti, Petrovsky. Why
[00:25:07] applicants with high USE scores often lack budget places in universities,
[00:25:11] commented today the adviser to the President of Russia Elena
[00:25:14] Impolskaya.
[00:25:16] The reason is known, again, a large number of
[00:25:21] applicants, winners of olympiads, they have certain preferences when enrolling, as
[00:25:25] for the number of budget places, in recent years,
[00:25:29] starting from the 2025-26 academic year,
[00:25:33] the basis for allocating budget places in accordance with
[00:25:37] the decree of the President of Russia, is the forecast of demand for
[00:25:40] specialists, this allows to exclude the imbalance between those
[00:25:44] whom the university trains and those specialties in which
[00:25:48] the economy really needs.
[00:26:02] obtained during the USE, be it a victory,
[00:26:05] a significant olympiad, all these children
[00:26:09] got the opportunity to study in Russia, develop
[00:26:12] their abilities and subsequently would
[00:26:16] like and dreamed of working in their country and would get all
[00:26:20] opportunities for scientific realization. For this, we
[00:26:23] need, it seems to me, to be confident in the full
[00:26:27] transparency of all olympiads included in
[00:26:30] the list compiled by the Ministry of Education
[00:26:33] and Science.
[00:26:36] At Yaroslavsky railway station in Moscow today, the pilot educational project "Ring of Discovery" was launched.
[00:26:40] It was included in the Rosmolodezh program "More than a Journey". More than
[00:26:43] 250 people took part in the project.
[00:26:46] These are seventh and eighth grade students and their accompanying
