[00:00:40] One more village in Kharkiv region came under the control of our
[00:00:43] units, it is the village of Alkhovatka. This settlement
[00:00:46] is located right inside Reznikovsky cauldron, where
[00:00:49] thousands of militants are blocked, their situation is worsening every
[00:00:53] day, it is impossible to escape the encirclement, the enemy is offered to surrender.
[00:00:57] In case of refusal, they face complete elimination:
[00:01:01] our troops daily inflict massive strikes on the rear of
[00:01:04] Ukraine, so in Volyn region a railway convoy with
[00:01:07] military cargo was destroyed, warehouses with weapons, power plants and
[00:01:11] gas stations were attacked. All details will be told by our military correspondents: Kirill
[00:01:15] Popov and Andrey Grigoriev.
[00:01:18] Kyiv is under enemy drone attacks since early morning. And
[00:01:21] after such strikes, the affected objects are still smoking all day today,
[00:01:25] Russian reactive Geraniums one by one burn down Kyiv's
[00:01:28] gas stations. The enemy is damaged. The enemy disabled 16
[00:01:31] gas stations in the capital, so far there is no fuel shortage,
[00:01:35] but we see that the fuel infrastructure is deliberately
[00:01:38] destroyed. In the capital, the gas station premises were damaged in
[00:01:42] two districts of the capital. Fires in large logistics complexes in
[00:01:46] Kyiv and Kharkiv regions, they have long been used as transshipment bases for
[00:01:49] the Armed Forces. Poroshenko, who, being president, promised that
[00:01:53] Donbas children would sit in basements, now predicts the same
[00:01:56] for the whole of Ukraine. The reality
[00:01:59] is this. The reality is this: the security situation
[00:02:02] is rapidly deteriorating. Russia with its reactive drones made
[00:02:06] a technological breakthrough, and Ukraine did not create effective
[00:02:10] air defense. Near the village of Rymachi in Volyn,
[00:02:13] a military echelon was hit by reactive drones. In general, so much
[00:02:17] railway transport has already been destroyed that Ukraine is forced to ask for it abroad,
[00:02:21] but in Europe the track is different. We
[00:02:24] urge all our partners to urgently help us in finding
[00:02:27] locomotives compatible with the gauge of
[00:02:30] 1520 mm, as well as financing to accelerate
[00:02:34] the purchase of new ones. Znamenka locomotive depot in Kirovograd
[00:02:37] region is burning, and these are shots of a recent hit on the Yagodyn
[00:02:41] checkpoint on the Polish border. In the western
[00:02:44] regions of Ukraine, strikes on railway infrastructure facilities used
[00:02:48] for transporting military cargo from
[00:02:50] European countries continued. It turns out that they
[00:02:53] hit not the British ex-Prime Minister
[00:02:57] Johnson and former CIA director Petraeus, as the European
[00:03:00] sponsors of Zelensky tried to portray, but the routes
[00:03:03] for delivering Western
[00:03:05] weapons to Ukraine.
[00:03:08] These are border objects, instead of striking dozens of enterprises,
[00:03:12] Russia can destroy key places through which Ukraine receives
[00:03:15] necessary resources, in particular, bridges and border crossings.
[00:03:19] They are scaring with a harsh winter without light and heat. In Zaporozhye today,
[00:03:23] a large power plant was hit. The vulnerability of Ukrainian
[00:03:26] large... Large thermal power plants in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro and other cities
[00:03:30] are vulnerable first of all. In case of their damage, Ukraine still cannot
[00:03:33] fully compensate for their operation. And
[00:03:37] in Sumy, several small ones were disabled at once, trying to avoid their
[00:03:40] destruction by dispersing capacities in Ukraine. The military
[00:03:44] academy in Odessa is smoking. All along the Black Sea coast of Ukraine,
[00:03:48] port infrastructure is being disabled. As a result,
[00:03:51] a logistics center in the village of Velikaya Balka in Odessa
[00:03:55] region was hit, which provides storage and
[00:03:58] distribution of military cargo arriving in Ukraine from abroad, in
[00:04:02] the port of Chornomorsk, a sea vessel of the dry cargo type, a ro-ro
[00:04:05] type ferry, which delivered cargo intended to provide
[00:04:09] the Armed Forces. Ships of the roll-on, roll-off class or simply
[00:04:12] Ro-ro, formally civilian, but have long been adapted for the delivery of
[00:04:16] military equipment, the convenience is that it doesn't even need to be unloaded, it
[00:04:20] drives off the ship's ramp itself, and then appears on the front, like these
[00:04:24] Polish Krab self-propelled guns, American M-777
[00:04:27] howitzers, destroyed today by Russian
[00:04:30] troops in the Zaporozhye direction, our military correspondent
[00:04:34] Kirill Popov
[00:04:35] is working there.
[00:04:40] now our equipment, whether it's artillery, multiple
[00:04:43] launch rocket systems,
[00:04:46] air defense systems are accompanied by mobile fire groups, the
[00:04:49] guys are now moving out in advance to the desired
[00:04:52] square, then a self-propelled howitzer Msta-S rolls out of the forest belt
[00:04:56] to deliver a surprise strike, shot!
[00:05:01] Shells one after another fly to Chervony Yar, a village in Zaporozhye region, from where
[00:05:04] our assault groups still have to drive out the militants, and where the enemy
[00:05:08] still maintains activity,
[00:05:12] here are... More footage of objective control, aerial reconnaissance records
[00:05:15] the landing of a Ukrainian hexacopter in the forest belt. The first shell is
[00:05:18] a sighting one, the second immediately departs, the UAV control point
[00:05:22] is already engulfed in fire. I think the enemies don't like this very much, because
[00:05:25] there are very serious consequences. Our units are
[00:05:29] successfully pushing through the enemy's defense line near
[00:05:33] Orekhovo. On the outskirts of Orekhovo, Russian drones
[00:05:36] are already fully in charge, preventing the delivery of ammunition and
[00:05:40] provisions, destroying pickups that... carry the garrison change,
[00:05:44] units of the Armed Forces are here under round-the-clock
[00:05:46] shelling,
[00:05:49] from which there is nowhere to hide, roads from the city are also under tight fire
[00:05:53] control, just now the enemy carried out an airstrike on the bridge in
[00:05:56] Kramatorsk, the same is happening now in another direction,
[00:05:59] Slavyansk-Kramatorsk, Russian troops are approaching the agglomeration,
[00:06:02] this is what Druzhkovka looks like now, standing in their
[00:06:06] way, the main direction to Druzhkovka is ours and further, we are liberating
[00:06:09] the territory directly in front of us, continues.
[00:06:42] and the Russian army offers to surrender. Andrey Grigoriev, Maxim
[00:06:46] Shchepilov, Alexander Ivankov,
[00:06:47] Vesti.
[00:06:50] The Verkhovna Rada voted for the resignation of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
[00:06:54] Thus, the deputies supported Zelensky's decision, who earlier
[00:06:58] by his decree removed Ruslan Kravchenko from office. But it all
[00:07:01] started when the Prosecutor General signed an indictment against
[00:07:05] the director of NABU Semyon Krivonos and a person close to
[00:07:08] the head of the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office from the country
[00:07:11] Alexander. Klimenko. All the details of this scandal in the office
[00:07:15] of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. In the material of my colleague Margarita
[00:07:18] Semenyuk. Zelensky's next attempt
[00:07:22] to subordinate the anti-corruption bureau of Ukraine, headed by
[00:07:26] foreign special services, failed. The head of the Kyiv
[00:07:29] regime bent over and on the eve dismissed the Prosecutor General of
[00:07:33] Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko. The resignation of the head of the department
[00:07:36] was unanimously supported today in the Verkhovna
[00:07:39] Rada. 317 decisions were made. Irina Gerashchenko
[00:07:43] asks the question: Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko was in the ATO,
[00:07:47] investigated Yanukovych's crime, and today
[00:07:50] turned the department into a gang controlling business and
[00:07:53] call centers. Who is to blame? We see that
[00:07:56] Zelensky does not understand people. We see that Zelensky does not
[00:08:00] understand people, instead of a normal personnel policy, he carries out
[00:08:04] chaos that destroys the state from within. Therefore,
[00:08:07] the demand for European solidarity is not only
[00:08:10] the resignation of the Prosecutor General.
[00:08:28] even in case of details about extortion of 72 thousand dollars for a quarter of a land plot in Kyiv region, and I
[00:08:31] am also not greedy, I just you know, less than everyone else I will then pull
[00:08:35] out of there, no need, you understand what I am telling you, and you told them the
[00:08:38] course, yes you, listen, don't worry about all
[00:08:42] these things.
[00:10:12] sent on the eve of departure through Ukrposhta office and
[00:10:15] paid in cash, although according to the agreement, all shipments
[00:10:19] provide for cashless payment, as stated by the general
[00:10:22] director of the post office Igor Smelyansky, in the office.
[00:10:55] He published his video message while abroad, this is not an announcement
[00:10:59] of suspicion. Zelensky's entourage is being purged,
[00:11:02] one by one they are being removed, Andrey Ermak, Irina Mudraya, now
[00:11:05] Ruslan Kravchenko too. The resignation of the Prosecutor General became the fourth during the years
[00:11:09] of the corrupt Zelensky regime. The probable idea
[00:11:13] to quickly remove the Prosecutor General appeared after the president's meeting
[00:11:17] with the heads of NABU and SAP. What exactly the head of the
[00:11:20] regime heard, only he knows. I call upon you.
[00:11:24] I call upon you, so that there are no
[00:11:27] such situations that the country got into with the Prosecutor
[00:11:30] General, so that we do not lose the Prosecutor General's Office
[00:11:34] as an institution, so that we do not lose all law enforcement
[00:11:38] agencies, let's not turn the Verkhovna Rada into a secretariat
[00:11:42] that thoughtlessly votes for everything that the cabinet of ministers
[00:11:46] or someone else proposes, let's fight for
[00:11:48] sovereignty, at the meeting in the Verkhovna Rada
[00:11:52] disputes are flaring up, that is, someone,
[00:11:55] incomprehensible, who... Someone, incomprehensible, illegally
[00:11:58] interferes with the EDRR system, cancels the decision of the acting
[00:12:02] Prosecutor General and lets major corrupt officials off the hook,
[00:12:05] although the decision of the Prosecutor General can only be canceled by the Prosecutor
[00:12:08] General. It turns out that our anti-corruption officials are
[00:12:11] untouchable, although they were not. And another
[00:12:15] question, how did the Prosecutor General leave, then another
[00:12:18] question arises, what did they agree on with the president, maybe they gave him
[00:12:22] guarantees of immunity and his entire entourage were given
[00:12:55] guarantees. a call to Golushchenko's phone: yes, Vladimir
[00:12:58] Alexandrovich, I understand you, I will fulfill everything and so on,
[00:13:02] then he hangs up and says to Minyuch, just called the
[00:13:06] president, he says, so I wrote to him before that, call
[00:13:09] Eri, and so on, what should I do, well, do it, if you don't
[00:13:13] do it, you'll be a дворник, this is another clear evidence
[00:13:17] of the absolute corruption of the Kyiv regime, the total
[00:13:20] degradation of the country, the collapse of all state
[00:13:23] institutions.
[00:14:25] around the corner,
[00:14:27] as our people say, the flu season, a feature of this
[00:14:31] season is that flu vaccines today, their
[00:14:35] composition has been completely replaced for all three
[00:14:38] components, both flu A and flu
[00:14:41] H3N2 and flu B, completely new
[00:14:45] components are included in the vaccine, which means that we have not
[00:14:48] encountered these viruses before, the vaccines are
[00:14:51] prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the Russian...
[00:15:37] a number of other countries.
[00:15:41] Leading Russian surgeons share their experience at the international forum
[00:15:44] of oncology and radiotherapy for life. The program includes fifty
[00:15:48] events - scientific sessions, master classes, round tables, well,
[00:15:51] complex operations live. All forum participants and our
[00:15:55] correspondent, Anastasia Litvinova, closely follow
[00:15:58] the involved doctors. Surgical instruments and a director's
[00:16:02] console are today part of one operating room, academician Andrey Kaplin in
[00:16:05] the radiological center in Obninsk removes a large... Leading
[00:16:24] Russian surgeons live demonstrate the capabilities of modern
[00:16:28] oncology, this is a broadcast from the operating room, where they are looking for cancer
[00:16:32] where it is not yet, this is stage zero, a suspicious
[00:16:35] area of the gastric mucosa is stained.
[00:17:37] can be built not on treatment, only on the future. Now the patient
[00:17:41] is in remission, we were able to perform a delayed reconstruction in July,
[00:17:44] that is, having already gone through a very long stage of treatment, to deal with
[00:17:48] the aesthetic issue. And yes, cancer can be defeated today, and
[00:17:52] not just once. Oksana had a tumor of the lower jaw, then the upper. Two
[00:17:55] complex operations externally, almost imperceptible. I have problems with
[00:17:59] diction. After such a complex operation,
[00:18:03] this is a temporary story. First, a 3D model is created, and
[00:18:06] based on it, an individual implant with millimeter precision, this
[00:18:10] precision allows us to accurately restore the lost
[00:18:14] shape of the lower jaw, but the scalpel today is only one of the tools in
[00:18:18] oncology. Russia has the ability to develop new
[00:18:21] medicinal preparations, both individual, personalized,
[00:18:25] and those that are quickly
[00:18:28] implemented today in treatment technologies. For example,
[00:18:31] in the nuclear pharmacy in Obninsk, in a hermetically sealed lead cabinet,
[00:18:34] preparations are synthesized based on radioactive isotopes
[00:18:37] for targeted action on tumor cells, in the CAR T cell laboratory,
[00:18:41] individual medicines are grown from the patient's own T-lymphocytes.
[00:18:45] We have already trained them against malignant cells,
[00:18:48] now we are just waiting for their number to become large.
[00:18:52] Russia is one of the first countries where melanoma patients are already receiving
[00:18:55] personalized mRNA vaccine. We finished with one
[00:18:59] patient with a good result three
[00:19:02] weeks ago. Now with the second, this is the second injection. Several
[00:19:06] more patients are being prepared, the Savitsky Prize concludes the
[00:19:10] forum, it is received by young oncologists, surgeons, radiologists,
[00:19:13] chemotherapists, researchers, those who will further
[00:19:17] develop and implement new treatment methods. Anastasia
[00:19:21] Litvinova, Nikolay Zakharov and Sergey Rubanov,
[00:19:23] Vesti. Alternative for Germany intends
[00:19:27] to stop military aid to Ukraine and achieve full normalization of
[00:19:30] relations with our country, this is what the German newspaper Bild
[00:19:33] claims. As the publication writes, the AfD working group approved the concept.
[00:20:08] We will find out what our people need and pursue policies that meet their
[00:20:12] expectations. The opposition in Germany is seizing the country. Saxony-Anhalt,
[00:20:16] they are preparing for a fight, in two German states at once,
[00:20:20] Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and separately in
[00:20:22] Berlin. I think that Saxony-Anhalt has already
[00:20:26] punished federal politicians with the results of its elections, but
[00:20:29] the main thing is different. We don't need a chancellor who hates
[00:20:33] people.
[00:20:37] Merz's personality, his government is dissatisfied even in the west,
[00:20:41] and it turned out that the problems are still the same, high prices,
[00:20:44] the course for war, many words, little action, he
[00:20:48] is still pontificating statements.
[00:21:21] After the failure in Saxony-Anhalt, the CDU is threatened with another blow: will
[00:21:25] the Chancellor's party drop out of the Landtag in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern?
[00:21:28] Current polls show AfD
[00:21:31] leading. At the same time, Christian Democrats are only getting
[00:21:35] 7%. What next? Friedrich Merz simply
[00:21:38] resigns voluntarily or under immense pressure from his
[00:21:42] own party or the Bundestag by a majority vote elects a specific
[00:21:46] successor. The third scenario is if Merz himself admits his mistake and
[00:21:50] addresses parliament, then the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, within
[00:21:53] 21 days will have to dissolve the Bundestag, but
[00:21:57] few here believe that Merz will do exactly that.
[00:22:01] According to polls, almost half of German residents consider it
[00:22:04] unlikely that the current chancellor will remain
[00:22:07] in power, they make up jokes about him, he is a hero of popular
[00:22:11] satire.
[00:22:13] Friedrich Merz made me coffee. Did he make it himself?
[00:22:16] Yes, himself. And it was weak.
[00:23:20] have already stated that in the upcoming elections in Pomerania they are confident in their
[00:23:23] victory, in the failure of personal ratings and the CDU, the German
[00:23:27] Chancellor is to blame himself, by supporting Ukraine, he simply forgot about the needs
[00:23:31] of Germany.
[00:23:33] At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, we transferred her more than 150
[00:23:36] billion euros, 100 billion from the federal
[00:23:39] budget and another 50 billion, and many forget about this,
[00:23:43] comes through the EU, because 200
[00:23:46] billion was also transferred there. Germany has a
[00:23:50] twenty-five percent share in the EU, thus,
[00:23:53] 150 billion euros, which is almost the entire special
[00:23:57] budget that we withdrew, went to Ukraine,
[00:24:00] unthinkable, this money could have gone to our pensioners, the
[00:24:04] coalition's course is on escalation, the German Chancellor meets with
[00:24:07] partners, sharply declares, his war with Russia will
[00:24:11] continue, for this Berlin has long been pumping weapons into Kyiv,
[00:24:14] information appeared that some secret government unit
[00:24:17] is buying it for Ukraine. The so-called
[00:24:20] Sonderstab, which is based in the building of the German Ministry of Defense,
[00:24:24] in a particularly protected wing - writes the Financial Times. According to the
[00:24:27] publication, it concludes deals for the supply of weapons for Ukraine in the shortest
[00:24:31] possible time, bypassing German bureaucracy, and makes possible the supply
[00:24:35] of shells in just two weeks. About 20 people work
[00:24:38] in the Sonderstab, who are well versed in military
[00:24:42] systems, speaking to journalists, Merz has already confirmed that the coming
[00:24:46] weeks will be decisive in the fight against Russia. He wants to be on...
[00:24:50] but it seems he completely forgot that his own chair is
[00:24:54] shaking, comment residents of Germany, on such plans
[00:24:57] of Merz. Maria Skrovilka, Eva Fedotova, Vesti,
[00:25:00] Germany. The Russian National Library
[00:25:04] of St. Petersburg received as a gift from Thailand 80
[00:25:07] volumes of Tipitaka. This is the oldest Buddhist canon.
[00:25:11] The edition was presented for the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations. A new exhibition
[00:25:15] also tells about long-standing friendship and cooperation. But among the
[00:25:18] exhibits, the first.
[00:25:57] We are once again bringing Buddhist wisdom from Thailand to Russia, and with it we are bringing
[00:26:01] our to the Russian people.
[00:27:32] one of the largest in the world, in essence, it is the repository of our memory,
[00:27:36] here knowledge accumulated by humanity for centuries is collected, stored and made
[00:27:40] accessible. Just think, more than 10
[00:27:43] million storage units in Russian, it is here that
[00:27:47] the ancient Ostromir Gospel, the Lavrentievskaya Chronicle,
[00:27:50] the Annunciation Kondakar, the Facial Chronicle
[00:27:54] Code, the Kyiv Psalter, these are handwritten
[00:27:56] Acts of the Apostles on cow hide, 14th
[00:28:00] century. Each such initial is absolutely unique. never repeated.
[00:28:03] Another invaluable world treasure is Voltaire's
[00:28:06] library, the only library of the European enlightener
[00:28:10] that has survived to our days, all thanks to Catherine the Great.
[00:28:14] 21 cabinets, 6,814
[00:28:17] volumes, 2 thousand of which contain notes by the thinker
[00:28:20] himself. Here, for example, a treatise on the social contract,
[00:28:23] by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whom Voltaire dislikes. All
[00:28:27] this edition is covered with Voltaire's notes, that is, he
[00:28:30] read the entire book.
[00:28:32] and practically on every fundamental question left some
[00:28:36] of his own comment, here he argues with
[00:28:39] Rousseau, the most characteristic for
[00:28:42] Voltaire, the note "Voltaire", that is, everything is exactly the opposite, and also
[00:28:46] incunabula, engravings, notes, maps, here is a map of Moscow,
[00:28:49] carved on porcelain by order of Napoleon, a new edition of
[00:28:53] Tipitaka will replenish this unique collection, for
[00:28:56] today's solemn ceremony in the Korff Hall, an exhibition
[00:29:00] of documents dedicated to our relations with the kingdom was also opened, there are
[00:29:03] the Siamese campaign of the cruiser Aurora, and the menu of the gala dinner given in honor of
[00:29:07] the Thai king in Peterhof, and the love story of Prince
[00:29:10] Chakrabongse and the Russian noblewoman Katya Desnitskaya, distant
[00:29:14] Siam today has become a little closer to St. Petersburg. Salema

[00:29:24] bureau.
[00:32:45] that it is about Italy's national interests, I, as
[00:32:48] Minister of Infrastructure and Transport and Deputy Prime Minister
[00:32:51] of the Government, not only have the right, but also the duty to
[00:32:54] protect every Italian entrepreneur, every
[00:32:58] Italian working abroad, including, of course, the
[00:33:02] Russian Federation. in July, with the help of our friends
[00:33:05] from Gimpreza, the association of Italian
[00:33:09] companies in Russia, we organized a meeting in Moscow, which was
[00:33:12] also attended by the Italian Ambassador, in order to... summarize existing
[00:33:16] problems and wishes, as well as hear criticism from hundreds of
[00:33:19] entrepreneurs who continue to work in
[00:33:21] Russia. I received a request to hold a similar meeting
[00:33:25] in Italy with the participation of some of the same entrepreneurs. And
[00:33:29] here I am. We, as the Italian government, have tried
[00:33:33] to take a more balanced position compared to other countries all these years,
[00:33:36] with the sole purpose of contributing to the
[00:33:40] resolution of the conflict. Accordingly, this is another
[00:33:44] step.
[00:33:45] perhaps with the mediation of other countries, will reach an agreement, after which Italy will be able to restore relations with the Russian Federation in the fields of trade, sports, university.
[00:34:05] I wouldn't want to express excessive optimism, but I hope that
[00:34:09] the warring parties,
[00:36:15] who has the right to talk about art, culture, theater,
[00:36:18] cinema, poetry, but I have already
[00:36:21] gone through all this during the Turin Olympics, when
[00:36:25] as minister I was responsible for preparations for...
[00:36:35] And I remember the controversy that accompanied the preparations for the Olympics and
[00:36:38] Paralympic Games, I remember how some people opposed
[00:36:42] the participation of athletes, even Paralympians, so
[00:36:45] catchy headlines do not bother me. I
[00:36:49] once again thank the president of the Venice Biennale, Pierangelo
[00:36:52] Buttafuoco, and I remember how the former and current
[00:36:56] governor and region.
