[00:01:19] Back to the news. Today is the final day of voting in the elections for deputies of the State Duma in
[00:01:23] several regions. Election campaigns are also being held for regional and municipal executive
[00:01:27] authorities. According to the Central Election Commission, voter turnout in
[00:01:30] the State Duma elections has already exceeded 50%. This
[00:01:34] year, residents of Donbass and Novorossiya are participating in the State Duma elections for the first time. In
[00:01:38] thirty-three regions, electronic voting
[00:01:40] is available. Polling stations abroad are open. Votes are already
[00:01:44] being counted in the State Duma elections in the Far East, where polling stations
[00:01:47] have closed in several constituent entities of the federation. As stated
[00:01:50] by head Pamfilova, elections in Russia are proceeding calmly and
[00:01:54] with dignity, in full compliance with the law. She noted
[00:01:57] the high level of consolidation among Russians. The elections in Russia are
[00:02:01] under an unprecedented level of control, despite provocations,
[00:02:04] more than 100 million potentially dangerous
[00:02:07] attacks on electoral system resources have been blocked. There were more than a thousand
[00:02:11] waves of hacker attacks from Great Britain, Ukraine, Brazil, and
[00:02:15] Mexico.
[00:02:17] Look, please, what kind of fakes there were. Fakes
[00:02:21] were launched on the first day of voting in Kamchatka, false information
[00:02:24] was spread that observers were not allowed into
[00:02:27] OIK-104, it appeared that.
[00:03:30] I want to say that the residents of Tuva always actively
[00:03:34] participate in elections and support the course of the country's
[00:03:36] president, this speaks of the indifference
[00:03:39] and social activity of our
[00:03:42] fellow countrymen.
[00:03:45] Vladislav Tayvich, what tasks in the field of economy and infrastructure development
[00:03:49] of the region do you plan to solve in case of your
[00:03:53] victory?
[00:03:55] Indeed, these elections were very important for me
[00:03:58] personally.
[00:04:30] years, for each municipality, five main tasks were identified,
[00:04:34] that is, five specific steps, such
[00:04:37] areas as roads and bridges, schools,
[00:04:41] kindergartens, public transport, personnel, official
[00:04:44] housing, there is a lot of work
[00:04:46] ahead, and what are the main economic
[00:04:50] drivers currently in the region and how do you generally assess
[00:04:54] the socio-economic situation, and incomes

[00:11:50] a SberPrime subscription. Now to the news on the progress of the special operation, Russian
[00:12:03] troops in the Kharkov region continue to tighten the encirclement, preventing the Ukrainian Armed Forces
[00:12:07] from leaving the cauldron. Battles are currently underway for the village of Buzovo, as reported
[00:12:11] by the Ministry of Defense. In other directions, groupings of Russian troops have improved their positions,
[00:12:15] and units of the Vostok grouping continue to advance deeper into the enemy's
[00:12:19] defense. During the day, strikes were carried out
[00:12:22] on logistics centers, warehouses and ports
[00:12:25] of Ukraine, as well as vessels involved in the interests of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In particular,
[00:12:29] a dry cargo ship in the port of Odessa and the Novaya Pochta logistics center,
[00:12:32] which was used for storing and distributing
[00:12:36] military cargo, were hit.
[00:12:39] Serbs lashed out at Aleksandar Vučić after his visit to
[00:12:42] Ukraine. The opposition stated that this step completely contradicts the interests
[00:12:46] of Belgrade. I remind you that a day earlier, the President of Serbia arrived in
[00:12:50] Bukovel for the Carpathian Eight summit. Representatives of
[00:12:53] Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary also took part in it.
[00:12:57] Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico ignored the meeting. At
[00:13:01] the summit, the head of the Kyiv regime made a number of statements, according to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces plan
[00:13:04] to increase the number of drone attacks on Russian territory.
[00:13:20] Let's return to the elections in the Luhansk People's Republic, where voter turnout in the State Duma elections
[00:13:24] exceeded 72%, and this despite the
[00:13:27] constant threat from Kyiv. Due to the likelihood of drone
[00:13:30] raids, two precinct commissions even suspended
[00:13:33] their work. Details from Diana
[00:13:35] Kireyeva.
[00:13:39] Almost 73% of the republic's voters
[00:13:43] cast their votes by noon today. This was
[00:13:47] reported by the chairperson of the regional election commission. Also,
[00:13:50] members of the commission continue their work, they conduct
[00:13:54] voting at home, but the acceptance of such applications
[00:13:57] ended at 12:00 PM. Currently, 513
[00:14:00] polling stations in the LPR continue their work and welcome voters. Two of them
[00:14:04] in the Novoaidar district temporarily suspended their activities due to
[00:14:07] the threat of enemy drone attacks. In addition, two more polling stations in
[00:14:11] the Novopskovsky and Ravenkovsky municipal districts remain on backup
[00:14:14] power sources. The enemy is trying to destabilize
[00:14:18] the situation, however, our precinct election commissions
[00:14:21] continue their work, no matter what, and
[00:14:25] it is impossible to intimidate our precinct election commissions,
[00:14:28] taking into account the experience of conducting election campaigns, despite
[00:14:32] the enemy's intimidation, residents of the region still come to the polling stations to cast their
[00:14:36] votes, they come with their families and children, for many, choosing their
[00:14:39] future is a holiday, there are also those who are voting not for the first time, among
[00:14:42] them 91-year-old Klara Bogolyubova, throwing her ballot into the urn,
[00:14:46] she asks for peace, I am no longer afraid of anything, I survived
[00:14:50] the war of forty-one, forty- fifth year
[00:14:53] and now I have survived.
[00:15:13] with a warm smile, election commission members greet voters, here
[00:15:17] everyone has been trained and knows exactly what to do in case of an enemy
[00:15:21] attack, for this day we have been here since 2014.
[00:15:37] Just these intimidations, these endless swarms
[00:15:40] of UAVs. On the last day of the elections, mobile voting is also taking place,
[00:15:44] organized in hospitals in the region. Defenders of the homeland
[00:15:48] who are currently being treated in hospitals also vote. In the first half
[00:15:52] of today alone, almost 600 patients from one of the medical institutions made their conscious choice.
[00:15:56] We protect our homeland, and we
[00:15:59] believe that it is our duty to go to the elections and
[00:16:03] vote, to cast our vote for what we consider necessary. Today, voting
[00:16:06] hours have been shortened to ensure safety. Residents of the region
[00:16:10] can cast their votes, voters can vote until
[00:16:13] 4:00 PM. After
[00:16:16] the completion, representatives of the election commissions at the polling stations
[00:16:20] will open all their packages, portable and stationary ballot boxes, and
[00:16:23] begin counting votes. Diana Kireyeva, Ilya Kulaga, Andrey
[00:16:26] Mavsisyan, Vesti
[00:16:28] Luhansk. Governor of the Moscow region Andrey Vorobyov
[00:16:32] voted in the elections for deputies of the State Duma, the Moscow Regional Duma and
[00:16:35] municipal councils of deputies of five districts. He did this in person.
[00:16:39] Vorobyov arrived at the polling station in Odintsovsky urban district. Today
[00:16:41] are elections, we
[00:16:48] came. The Russian Foreign Ministry expects that voter turnout in elections
[00:16:52] abroad will be higher than in 2021. This was stated in an interview
[00:16:55] with our channel by the official representative of the department, Maria
[00:16:59] Zakharova. According to her, more than 104,000 Russian
[00:17:02] citizens have already voted abroad.
[00:17:05] In the voting in the elections for deputies of the State Duma,
[00:17:08] 104,722 citizens of Russia
[00:17:11] abroad
[00:17:13] participated, 120
[00:17:17] mobile early votes were held, no matter how much
[00:17:20] they interfered, and of course they interfered all the time and continue
[00:17:23] to interfere, but the main thing is something else, people go, come with
[00:17:26] their families, come with symbols, well, those
[00:17:29] symbols that are allowed, state symbols, for
[00:17:33] many this is truly an event, they bring children, many
[00:17:36] young people. But at the same time, there are also
[00:17:40] people of a, you know, mature age.
[00:17:56] In France, parental prices are hitting a historic record, in some regions
[00:17:59] the cost reaches almost 3 euros per liter. Against this backdrop, protest
[00:18:03] sentiments are growing in the country, the opposition is even calling for a repeat of the Yellow
[00:18:06] Vests protests. All the details are with our own correspondent in Europe, Regina
[00:18:10] Sevastyanova.
[00:18:13] Social unrest is growing in France due to rising fuel prices.
[00:18:17] The Élysée Palace has in recent days systematically received
[00:18:20] warnings about the possibility of a protest movement. The Yellow Vests
[00:18:23] are increasingly mentioned, their appearance in 2018
[00:18:27] was also provoked by the high cost of gasoline. This
[00:18:30] week, Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Catherine Chabot only made promises
[00:18:34] of maximum subsidies and interest-free loans.
[00:18:47] What is important, if we do not receive answers to our questions by Monday, we
[00:18:50] will resume the protest movement. Negotiations on some issues continue:
[00:18:54] we have lifted the blockade, ferries are passing right now, but only until Monday. Over
[00:18:57] the past year, diesel prices in Europe have risen by
[00:19:00] 38%, kerosene by 100%, gas by
[00:19:04] 150%. In France, on Friday, a liter of diesel.
[00:19:38] This will not only cause a collapse in VAT revenue from fuel,
[00:19:42] but everything will cease completely, as people will
[00:19:45] simply not be able to fill their cars with petrol. On Friday,
[00:19:49] the opposition demanded urgent measures from the President personally. Emmanuel
[00:19:52] Macron recognized the unbearable fuel prices in France and convened
[00:19:56] a Saint-Denis meeting, a format that in the Fifth Republic is synonymous with
[00:19:59] high-level meetings to discuss urgent issues. The media,
[00:20:03] however, doubted the purpose of this conversation. In connection with the beginning
[00:20:06] of the pre-election. Macron himself was pushed off the center
[00:20:09] stage. He invited the contenders for his place in the Élysée Palace to
[00:20:13] remind them that the presidential campaign must necessarily be inextricably
[00:20:17] linked with the international agenda. He himself explained
[00:20:20] to the French people through social networks the day before that he is actively
[00:20:23] negotiating with world leaders in the interests of the country. Although
[00:20:27] the official position of the Élysée Palace is that
[00:20:30] the president intends only to guarantee the smooth conduct of elections,
[00:20:34] one of his closest associates shared with us the conviction: elections
[00:20:38] cannot be separated from the international situation. Another unspoken
[00:20:41] goal is always to be in the center of attention. His address to
[00:20:45] the nation, following the meeting in Saint-Denis, Emmanuel Macron began with a warning
[00:20:48] to Russia. It would be a mistake to continue acting in this
[00:20:52] way towards Europeans, he announced a
[00:20:55] plan to protect critical infrastructure from drone attacks and
[00:20:59] cyber attacks.
[00:21:01] In recent weeks, the Russian hybrid threat to Europeans and France
[00:21:04] has increased, I have warned about this several times. Recall February
[00:21:08] 2024, when at the meeting of the coalition of the willing, I
[00:21:12] warned, the very nature of the Russian threat is changing: a drone strike
[00:21:15] on a train connecting Kyiv and Warsaw, an attempted attack in
[00:21:18] Leipzig, which... failed due to the reaction of the German side,
[00:21:22] intrusion into the airspace of several European countries,
[00:21:25] an increase in the number of acts of sabotage, the answer is completely
[00:21:28] clear: support for Ukraine and the achievement of a just and lasting
[00:21:32] peace. As for historically high fuel prices, which
[00:21:36] cause immense suffering, they are entirely due to
[00:21:39] wars and the international situation - said Emmanuel Macron, in particular
[00:21:43] the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, but Paris does not have the key to Hormuz.
[00:21:47] Confirming his status on the world stage, the President of France announced
[00:21:51] his intention to contact the European Commission that same day regarding fuel
[00:21:54] reserves at the pan-European level, and to convene
[00:21:58] the G7 at the level of leaders in the coming weeks. Macron declared
[00:22:01] himself the guarantor, rejecting the opposition's demand for
[00:22:05] financial assistance to the population, citing the danger of
[00:22:08] increasing the budget deficit or taxes. There is an obvious
[00:22:12] state of emergency in the social sphere in the country, but the President
[00:22:16] and Prime Minister have not announced any new measures, we are told
[00:22:20] that the insufficient ones will continue, but we need
[00:22:24] a more decisive response, if there is no price freeze
[00:22:27] or wage increase, we will find ourselves in
[00:22:30] an extremely explosive social situation. At present,
[00:22:34] in addition to promises to fishermen, Trade Minister Serge Papin
[00:22:37] announced the extension of subsidy payments of 100 euros
[00:22:41] to drivers who travel long distances for work. Earlier,
[00:22:44] Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu promised assistance to the most affected
[00:22:48] sectors, including agriculture and construction. The
[00:22:51] discussion of financial issues at the government level is scheduled for
[00:22:55] Monday, and it will clearly not be easy. France's financial
[00:22:58] situation is rapidly deteriorating. In 2026, the Fifth
[00:23:02] Republic will have to pay 65 billion euros
[00:23:05] in interest on its national debt, which is 25% more than
[00:23:09] a year earlier. And in 2027, according to Prime Minister
[00:23:13] Sébastien Lecornu, just servicing the external debt will cost
[00:23:16] France 10 billion more and will total 75 billion.
[00:23:32] 50% for back-to-school purchases with a joint account for parents whose children
[00:23:36] use a Sber card, and I bought a beret, and I
[00:23:39] bought a globe, Sber cashback to high
[00:23:41] standards,
[00:23:44] heroes, common sport, in Vkusno
[00:23:48] i Tochka Kids Combos.
[00:27:29] The newly elected head of North Ossetia, Sergey Mineila, has taken
[00:27:33] office for a second term. At the official ceremony, he was congratulated by the presidential envoy
[00:27:36] to the North Caucasus Federal District, Yuri Chaiko, after which
[00:27:40] Minyaylo took
[00:27:41] the oath.
[00:27:46] Before the President of the Russian Federation and
[00:27:49] the Parliament of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania,
[00:27:52] I pledge to uphold the Constitution of the Russian
[00:27:56] Federation, the Constitution of the Republic of North
[00:27:59] Ossetia-Alania, to respect and protect.
[00:28:16] The republic's parliament re-elected the current head of the region.
[00:28:20] Temrezov has led Karachay-Cherkessia since 2011.
[00:28:23] Bulat Shakiyev will tell us
[00:28:25] how the voting proceeded.
[00:28:28] While residents throughout Russia were busy with elections in the Parliament of Karachay-
[00:28:32] Cherkessia. The main
[00:29:03] process took place
[00:29:06] behind closed doors, but the deputies voted
[00:29:09] openly, raising their mandates upwards. The parliament
[00:29:12] voted almost unanimously, the first to congratulate the head
[00:29:15] of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the
[00:29:19] North Caucasian Federal District.
[00:29:27] I want to express my gratitude to our President Vladimir Vladimirovich
[00:29:30] Putin for such high.
[00:30:02] his powers as head of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic are extended
[00:30:06] for another 5 years. Andrey
[00:30:09] Chistyakov, Vesti from Karachay- Cherkess Republic.
[00:30:24] Next, watch a special report "A Bear's Favor" on what caused
[00:30:27] the increase in the brown bear population in Russia. Ekaterina Sanders
[00:30:31] investigated why predators more often attack people.
[00:31:29] Artybash village, Altai Republic, the main gateway to
[00:31:32] Lake Teletskoye, the small Baikal of Western Siberia, as it is
[00:31:36] often called in guidebooks. Here also
[00:31:38] begins the Biya, one of the large rivers of the region,
[00:31:42] around, wherever you look, taiga forest.
[00:31:56] It is quiet and peaceful here early in the morning,
[00:32:00] but in the evenings it is unsafe to be outside,
[00:32:03] with the onset of dusk, locals try not
[00:32:06] to leave their
[00:32:10] homes. We had such an incident,
[00:32:12] my wife and I were sitting at home. The exact time was
[00:32:16] 9:30 PM. That evening, Vitaly and his family
[00:32:20] were already getting ready for bed, when suddenly, a strange noise sounded
[00:32:24] in the yard. I heard my
[00:32:28] fence breaking, the cracking of boards, there, there,
[00:32:31] you can see, there they are, uh, and
[00:32:35] the heavy breathing of this bear, how it growled.
[00:32:37] Vitaly decided to act. The plan was
[00:32:40] short, he wanted to run out and shout. He thought the beast
[00:32:44] would get scared and leave. I open the door and see that
[00:32:47] its paw up to its elbow is already on
[00:32:51] the terrace, here are the
[00:32:54] traces of...
