[00:00:00] Many residents of the capital region decided to spend this day in
[00:00:04] nature, some preferred river trips, some went
[00:00:07] to the forest. By the way, Moscow's fans of "quiet hunting" now,
[00:00:11] it seems, are getting compensation for the not-so-successful summer mushroom
[00:00:15] season. And here they hid, and here the mushrooms
[00:00:18] hid, it's just something. On
[00:00:22] Friday, the weather in Moscow worsened, the sky was covered with leaden clouds. Since
[00:00:25] morning, it had started to rain several times. The worsening weather
[00:00:29] affected... the thermometers in the south of the capital
[00:00:33] region hovered around +14. The main zone
[00:00:36] of bad weather this week covered the eastern regions of the Russian
[00:00:39] Plain. Under the influence of the cyclone, intense downpours passed over the Volga in
[00:00:43] Bashkiria. In some places in the republic, more than half of the monthly rainfall norm fell
[00:00:46] in just 12 hours. In Ufa, after the rain, real waterfalls
[00:00:50] appeared on some streets, and large hail was observed in Naberezhnye Chelny.
[00:00:54] град.
[00:00:58] Earlier on Tuesday, bad weather covered the Chernozemye. In some areas
[00:01:01] of Voronezh, Belgorod, and Tambov regions, more than
[00:01:05] a month's worth of rain fell in just one day. Belgorod was particularly affected by the downpours, where
[00:01:08] roads and courtyards were flooded. In Lipetsk, deep puddles also formed
[00:01:12] on the streets. Meanwhile, beyond the Urals, winter is feeling
[00:01:15] more at ease. The following footage is from the village of Chara, Kalarsky district, in the north
[00:01:19] of Transbaikal. A week ago, the heating season started here, very
[00:01:23] timely. The thermometers dropped below minus one in the morning
[00:01:27] hours, and the surroundings were covered with snow. The height of the snow
[00:01:31] cover on Friday morning was a full 13 cm. On the night of
[00:01:34] September 17-18, it snowed in the Kalarsky district,
[00:01:37] about 10 cm fell.
[00:01:41] By mid-day, winter began to recede, the snow on the roads
[00:01:44] turned into slush, and dripping water tapped from the roofs.
[00:01:48] However, in the coming days, the climate will take
[00:01:50] its course, at the beginning of the third decade of September, nature
[00:01:53] will try to shift autumn, at least in
[00:01:56] the west of European Russia, into a rainy phase. The fact
[00:02:00] is that the sunny anticyclone will move to
[00:02:03] the banks of the Volga and the foothills of the Urals, and along its periphery,
[00:02:06] cyclones will shift, as a result, the territory
[00:02:09] from the coast of the Kola Peninsula to
[00:02:12] the Black Sea region will be in the zone of rains.
[00:02:16] In the first days of the week, in some places, more than
[00:02:19] half of the monthly volume of moisture will fall. Due to the conflict
[00:02:23] between cyclones and anticyclones, the temperature regime
[00:02:26] is expected to be quite contrasting. So, in the
[00:02:29] west of the plain, the inflow of solar heat will decrease to
[00:02:33] a minimum, so the air will begin to cool,
[00:02:36] and thermometer readings will return to the limits
[00:02:40] of the climatic norm. However, to the east of the region
[00:02:43] and in the Trans-Urals, on the contrary, southern
[00:02:46] currents will bring well-warmed air masses from
[00:02:49] the subtropical zone of Asia, so the warming
[00:02:53] will intensify. The epicenter of this will be the
[00:02:56] Lower Ob River and the North Urals. As
[00:03:00] a result, records for maximum temperature will be
[00:03:03] massively broken here. By the middle of next week,
[00:03:07] the zone of extreme overheating will cover
[00:03:10] Yamal, Yugra, Komi, and the north of the Perm region,
[00:03:14] and you can assess the scale of the warming. For example, in
[00:03:17] Salekhard, the historical maximum will be exceeded
[00:03:21] by almost 5°, recorded almost
[00:03:24] 100 years ago. And in central Russia,
[00:03:27] abnormally warm weather will only last
[00:03:30] for the weekend. In Moscow, by Sunday, it will warm up again
[00:03:33] to August's +22,
[00:03:36] but then the region will be covered by rain clouds and the temperature
[00:03:39] regime will gradually return to
[00:03:43] the climate of late September. On Wednesday, in
[00:03:46] the megalopolis, it will only be
[00:03:47] +14.
[00:03:55] To other topics, the Russian army began to strike at
[00:03:59] data centers in Ukraine. On Thursday, Russian troops
[00:04:02] launched another attack on the facilities
[00:04:05] of the Ukrainian telecommunications company Kyivstar.
[00:04:09] Previously, the data processing center, or DPC, of Kyivstar
[00:04:12] on Vikenty Khvoiky Street in Kyiv was hit. The Ministry
[00:04:16] of Defense of Russia published
[00:04:19] footage of strike drones in combat operation against the facility.
[00:04:23] Before that, another Ukrainian operator's DPC,
[00:04:26] bmobile, was hit.
[00:04:30] It should be noted that both of the mentioned telecommunication
[00:04:33] companies provide mobile communication and
[00:04:37] Internet services, including in the interests
[00:04:39] of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The strikes on DPCs are a new stage
[00:04:43] in the campaign for de-urbanization
[00:04:46] of Ukraine. This refers to the systemic disabling
[00:04:49] of the enemy's digital infrastructure.
[00:04:52] How the destruction of servers
[00:04:55] deprives the enemy of eyes and ears on the front line,
[00:04:59] why?
[00:05:42] the center starts to work poorly, even if it is not damaged, but
[00:05:46] only the communication lines are damaged, then you
[00:05:49] end up with poor connectivity, the Internet works worse,
[00:05:52] and the Internet is the foundation of the modern economy.
[00:05:56] An important detail: in 2025,
[00:05:59] Kyivstar was integrated into the Starlink Direct-to-Cell system,
[00:06:02] a technology that allows ordinary mobile phones to directly
[00:06:06] connect to Elon Musk's satellites. This turns each
[00:06:09] subscriber's phone into a potential communication channel.
[00:06:42] these are transmission channels, then the recently damaged bmobile data center
[00:06:46] is the digital brain. Its server capacities were leased
[00:06:50] out, and among the clients, according to intelligence, were Western
[00:06:53] technological companies working for the Kyiv
[00:06:56] regime. A special place among them is occupied by the American
[00:06:59] corporation Palantir. Its artificial intelligence system
[00:07:03] Maven Smart analyzes data from NATO
[00:07:06] reconnaissance satellites in real time and generates target
[00:07:10] designations for Ukrainian strike drones.
[00:07:15] Data processing centers, in particular BMobile,
[00:07:18] were used as a basis for localizing
[00:07:21] information arrays, including those of external operators,
[00:07:25] Western ones. Here, of course, we are talking primarily about Palantir,
[00:07:28] which is currently conducting combat testing and approbation
[00:07:31] of the Smart system. It is clear that this information
[00:07:35] infrastructure had a critically significant
[00:07:37] weight for making
[00:07:40] military decisions. The speed of information processing is critically important for
[00:07:44] such systems. It's a matter of seconds
[00:07:48] from the moment a target is detected to the formation of a command
[00:07:51] to strike. That's why server capacities are located
[00:07:55] as close as possible to the theater of military operations, and not in data centers
[00:07:58] in the US or Europe. In addition to Western systems,
[00:08:02] the Ukrainian automated troop control system
[00:08:05] ASU operated on BMobile's facilities.
[00:08:08] Through it, intelligence data is exchanged between units. Actions
[00:08:13] of various branches of service control of
[00:08:16] air defense systems. Destroying one data center, the processing
[00:08:19] system will not be destroyed. The entire
[00:08:22] system is in a protected cloud, but
[00:08:26] the processing speed will certainly drop
[00:08:29] due to the destruction of one array
[00:08:33] of equipment. And for ASU, where it's a matter of
[00:08:36] seconds. Imagine what early
[00:08:39] warning of an air attack is.
[00:08:42] Control of the air defense
[00:08:45] area. Here, seconds are important,
[00:08:49] a slowdown in speed will
[00:08:52] certainly yield results. The defeat of DPCs inflicts
[00:08:55] significant economic damage on the enemy. Lack
[00:08:58] of access to servers blocks the work of tax authorities, registries,
[00:09:02] and the banking sector, depriving the country's budget of billions
[00:09:06] of hryvnias. No taxes, no funds to maintain the war
[00:09:09] machine. It is important to understand the scale of the task. Ukraine's telecom
[00:09:13] infrastructure is quite developed and
[00:09:15] distributed. Kyivstar is not the only operator;
[00:09:19] Vodafone, Lifecell, and other
[00:09:22] providers also operate there. There is a branched network
[00:09:25] of data centers for various purposes, so systematic work
[00:09:28] is needed to achieve a sustainable effect. Neutralizing
[00:09:32] IT infrastructure is the key to paralyzing the entire military
[00:09:35] system
[00:09:36] of the enemy.
[00:09:43] The number of people killed by bear attacks in Russia since the beginning
[00:09:47] of the year has risen to 10 people. This week,
[00:09:51] a predator mauled two men in Priangarie when
[00:09:54] they went into the forest for berries. Another
[00:09:58] tragic incident occurred in the Krasnoyarsk
[00:10:01] Krai. An elderly woman died from the paws and fangs
[00:10:04] of the predator. The animal attacked the elderly
[00:10:07] woman right in the courtyard of her house. On
[00:10:11] social networks every day, new footage appears
[00:10:14] of bears roaming within
[00:10:17] populated areas. For example, in the city
[00:10:20] of Osinniki, Kemerovo region, a predator came
[00:10:23] out directly onto one of the automobile roads. In SNT
[00:10:27] Sosnovets near Novokuznetsk, a bear
[00:10:30] has been running through the streets for several days
[00:10:33] in a row. A similar situation is in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous
[00:10:36] Okrug. People are already afraid to go to their summer
[00:10:40] cottages. Another bear was filmed by Russian
[00:10:44] biathletes in Sochi. The wild
[00:10:47] animal entered the sports base where
[00:10:50] training camps were taking place. And these
[00:10:53] are just a few episodes. In Russia, there is a real
[00:10:56] bear expansion, however, experts are concerned not
[00:11:00] so much by the quantitative growth, but by the
[00:11:03] qualitative shift. Zoologists state that
[00:11:06] a deep deformation of the psychology
[00:11:10] and behavior of the taiga master is happening
[00:11:13] before our eyes. A new term has even appeared: "spoiled
[00:11:16] bear." What does this mean? Ekaterina
[00:11:20] Ryazanova will tell us. Katya, why do wild animals increasingly
[00:11:23] change their habits and leave forest areas?
[00:11:27] Vadim, the main catalyst for these changes is easily accessible food. From
[00:11:31] a physiological point of view, a bear is pragmatic. Why spend
[00:11:34] a colossal amount of energy on hunting, searching for berries, or catching
[00:11:38] fish, if thousands of quick calories can be obtained from a landfill
[00:11:42] without much effort? A stable food
[00:11:45] addiction arises, and the most dangerous thing here is the transfer
[00:11:48] of experience. A female bear accustomed to feeding near people
[00:11:52] leads her cubs to them. In young individuals, from the first
[00:11:55] months of life, distorted taste
[00:11:58] preferences are formed. Growing up, such a predator physically
[00:12:01] does not perceive its natural diet, the forest ceases
[00:12:05] to be its home and source of food. We
[00:12:08] are dealing with a qualitatively new phenomenon; this is no longer just bears
[00:12:12] entering populated areas in search of food.
[00:12:15] A new generation of animals is forming, for whom humans and
[00:12:19] their infrastructure become a natural habitat,
[00:12:22] and this is an extremely alarming trend.
[00:12:25] The second factor is a fundamental shift in human perception. A
[00:12:29] healthy, wild bear's fear of humans is genetically
[00:12:33] ingrained and reinforced by evolution. The smell of smoke,
[00:12:37] the sound of an engine, or a human voice is a signal
[00:12:40] of mortal danger to it. A bear is a very smart
[00:12:43] and intelligent animal that perfectly assesses
[00:12:46] the situation, which always
[00:12:50] senses if there is a weapon, yes, because weapons
[00:12:53] smell of iron and gunpowder. They know
[00:12:57] this smell very well, and their sense of smell is very keen,
[00:13:00] so bears know perfectly well where it's dangerous, where it's not, where
[00:13:04] they can be cheeky, and where it's better not to do that. But spontaneous landfills,
[00:13:08] sympathetic tourists feeding animals on
[00:13:11] roadsides break this barrier. In the predator's mind,
[00:13:14] the chain "human equals threat" changes to the cognitive
[00:13:17] link "human equals food." The third factor is the growth
[00:13:21] in the bear population. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, over the past 36
[00:13:25] years, their population has increased by more than two times and now
[00:13:28] stands at 307 thousand individuals. In
[00:13:31] overcrowded conditions, animals experience chronic, severe
[00:13:35] stress. Aggression in the population is growing. Mothers with
[00:13:38] cubs and younger, weaker males are simply pushed out
[00:13:41] of traditional hunting grounds by strong,
[00:13:44] dominant individuals. They go to the boundaries of their range, to
[00:13:48] abandoned fields, clearings, and populated areas, where human
[00:13:52] food waste becomes the only
[00:13:55] means of survival. In the professional environment, a special
[00:13:58] term has already appeared - "spoiled bear." This is not
[00:14:01] a metaphor or an emotional assessment - it is a fact of change
[00:14:04] in the neurobiology of the animal's behavior. Experts
[00:14:08] are unanimous: if a bear has crossed this threshold and
[00:14:11] associated humans with food, it is impossible to return
[00:14:14] it to nature. It will always return to people.
[00:14:18] They can drag a dog out of
[00:14:21] its kennel, they can climb into the cellar.
[00:14:28] a hungry animal, when an animal is hungry, it loses
[00:14:32] vigilance, it starts to get cheeky, it
[00:14:35] no longer fears anything. The only
[00:14:38] forced and harsh measure to protect people in such a case
[00:14:42] is population control, that is, shooting a specific dangerous
[00:14:45] individual. However, the solution to the problem lies not in destroying
[00:14:48] the population, but in changing human behavior
[00:14:51] itself. Firstly, this is a change in approach to
[00:14:55] solid household waste disposal in forest regions,
[00:14:58] fenced landfills, and vandal-proof containers with
[00:15:02] mechanical locks. Secondly, strict fines
[00:15:05] for intentionally feeding wild animals on roads in
[00:15:09] tourist areas. Russian regions are already
[00:15:12] taking measures, for example, the Legislative Assembly of the Kamchatka Krai
[00:15:15] on September 15 amended the regional
[00:15:18] law on administrative offenses. Now,
[00:15:22] residents and tourists will be fined not only for
[00:15:25] feeding predators, but also for dangerous proximity,
[00:15:29] harassment, and food waste left in their habitats.
[00:15:33] However, in Chukotka, fines are not yet provided, but local authorities
[00:15:36] also ask citizens not to create conditions
[00:15:40] for feeding predators. The bear
[00:15:43] expansion is a harsh signal from the ecosystem. To
[00:15:46] protect our cities, humans will have to learn the rules
[00:15:50] of discipline in coexistence with wildlife.
[00:15:52] природой.
[00:15:59] The main climatic bogeyman of recent
[00:16:02] decades, the imminent stop of the Gulf Stream,
[00:16:05] the freezing of Europe, is changing, or at
[00:16:09] least, being postponed. An authoritative group
[00:16:12] of oceanographers from the National
[00:16:15] Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the USA,
[00:16:18] together with scientists from the University of
[00:16:21] Miami, refuted the hypothesis of a continuous
[00:16:25] slowdown of the planet's main current.
[00:16:29] An analysis of continuous satellite data over
[00:16:32] the last third of a century showed that the Gulf Stream is not
[00:16:35] dying. Moreover, in the open ocean it is rapidly
[00:16:38] accelerating. Until
[00:16:41] now, most climate models were based
[00:16:44] on the thesis that global warming desalinates the North
[00:16:47] Atlantic. Melting glaciers in Greenland slow down
[00:16:51] the current. However, 31 years
[00:16:54] of high-precision satellite monitoring from
[00:16:56] 1993 to 2024,
[00:17:00] gave scientists a colossal amount
[00:17:03] of data that broke previous patterns.
[00:17:07] Researchers discovered that the Gulf Stream is subject to
[00:17:11] a rigid decadal cycle, for about
[00:17:14] 10 years the current weakened, but then
[00:17:17] changed phase and for about the same amount of time
[00:17:20] gained power. The second key fact:
[00:17:24] the behavior of the Gulf Stream is not uniform.
[00:17:27] The section of the current in the narrow Florida Strait
[00:17:30] is indeed relatively stable, but as soon as
[00:17:34] the current breaks out into the open ocean, detaching
[00:17:37] from the US coast, it sharply picks up
[00:17:40] speed. What is the reason for such accelerating
[00:17:44] dynamics? Oceanographers identify two
[00:17:47] physical factors. The first is a global
[00:17:50] restructuring of wind fields. Large-scale subtropical
[00:17:53] winds in the North Atlantic literally drive
[00:17:56] the upper layers of water. The second factor is the anomalous
[00:18:00] overheating of the Gulf of Maine. This region off the coast of North
[00:18:04] America is currently heating up faster than 90.9%
[00:18:07] of the entire world ocean.
[00:18:10] Huge masses of warm water create a temperature
[00:18:14] and pressure gradient, working like a hydrodynamic
[00:18:18] pump. As a result, a faster Gulf Stream
[00:18:21] carries much more heat northward than
[00:18:25] previously thought. How will this affect the planet?
[00:18:28] The Gulf Stream is a key driver of AMOC,
[00:18:32] the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. This
[00:18:36] is a gigantic conveyor distributing heat throughout
[00:18:39] the globe, and its sharp acceleration, scientists
[00:18:42] emphasize, is as much a factor of destabilization
[00:18:46] of the planet's entire thermohaline system
[00:18:49] as the theoretical slowdown. Data
[00:18:52] from American oceanographers prove that Earth's climate
[00:18:56] system is significantly more complex and
[00:18:59] dynamic than linear scenarios of global
[00:19:02] cooling or widespread drought.
[00:19:05] The Gulf Stream is changing the rules of the game again. And scientists
[00:19:09] now have to re-calculate the mathematical
[00:19:12] models of the future of all world weather. That's all for
[00:19:16] today. Goodbye.
[00:19:30] There's a plan, it's just a bomb. A bomb.
[00:19:33] The best movie, I think. And it really feels like I fell
[00:19:37] into a fairy tale, you are all heroes of Russian fairy tales. I liked
[00:19:41] the frog, I liked the fog with
[00:19:44] the dragon, Alyonushka is great,
[00:19:47] hello, good fellow, Resa Masha, I'm not
[00:19:51] small, small, I'm not
[00:19:54] small, oh, cool, milk
[00:19:57] river with stove and
[00:19:59] apple tree, there was a mosquito sitting there, it
[00:20:03] saved the universe, this is a cartoon, the whole
[00:20:07] universe, that's cool, it's just
[00:20:10] a cool movie from the heart, well, this
[00:20:13] is amazing, it can't even be described in words, you just need
[00:20:17] to see it, let's get to business, no time,
[00:20:19] how did I get into a fairy tale, interesting,
[00:20:23] right, well, you'll see for yourselves, an incredible
[00:20:25] premiere about Russian superheroes, how Ivan fell into
[00:20:29] a fairy tale.
