[00:00:29] Hello. The Dnepr group advanced to Orekhov from [00:00:32] the west after the liberation of Novoandreevka. The village [00:00:35] is located only 4 km from the city limits. Orekhov [00:00:39] is a key defense hub of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Zaporizhzhia region. Now our [00:00:43] units are advancing from several directions. Previously, [00:00:46] the Dnepr and Vostok groups occupied Novopavlovka and Chervona [00:00:50] Krynytsia. Now Russian troops have approached the city from the western [00:00:53] side. All key routes are under our control. Battles are taking place in [00:00:57] the eastern part of Orekhov itself. At the same time, Russian [00:01:00] units are advancing in the area of Preobrazhenka on the northwestern [00:01:04] outskirts of the city. The pressure on enemy positions in [00:01:07] this direction is also being increased by Novorossiysk paratroopers. [00:01:10] Operators of attack drones are working deep in the defense of [00:01:13] the Ukrainian Armed Forces. For example, in one sortie, they destroyed four observation [00:01:17] posts, several ground robotic platforms, and [00:01:20] enemy personnel. And these are footage of the work of the Dnepr [00:01:24] unmanned systems from the Kherson region. Here, [00:01:27] operators destroyed several over the summer. [00:02:00] They control the right bank of the Dnieper and adjacent islands [00:02:03] around the clock and leave the enemy no chance for [00:02:07] a breakthrough. Mobile fire groups of Vostok [00:02:11] cover roads, military and civilian facilities [00:02:14] from enemy drone [00:02:16] attacks around the clock. [00:02:22] At the same time, according to our military, the enemy constantly changes tactics. Raids [00:02:26] can be sudden, so you need to be on alert. [00:02:31] The sky is always under control, with us, that is, from all [00:02:34] sides these drones can fly in, so [00:02:38] we watch the sky, sometimes they explode up in the air, [00:02:41] it explodes, if the detonator hits, then [00:02:44] the fuse, that is, it explodes in the air, [00:02:47] it turns out, yes, we jump out, start firing [00:02:51] back at them. Artillery of the Sever group of forces [00:02:54] hit Ukrainian drone control points in the Sumy [00:02:57] region. [00:03:03] Our Grads covered them with heavy fire, all targets were destroyed, and [00:03:07] the infantry can advance further to expand the security [00:03:10] zone. [00:03:14] Reconnaissance units of the Center group of forces cut off the transport logistics of [00:03:17] the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the DPR. First, they tracked the enemy with light [00:03:21] drones, [00:03:28] and then heavy... [00:04:02] Attention, encounter! At [00:04:04] the first shot, the target is destroyed, ammunition is spent. To [00:04:08] destroy any aerial targets, the complex is equipped with anti-aircraft [00:04:11] missiles. It also has twin-barreled cannons with [00:04:15] an ammunition capacity of 1,400 [00:04:17] rounds. Starting today, Thailand has halved [00:04:21] the visa-free stay for Russians and citizens of 90 other countries from [00:04:25] 60 to 30 days. The [00:04:28] kingdom's authorities also banned visa-runs, meaning that leaving and [00:04:32] re-entering the country to extend the stay without obtaining a residence [00:04:36] permit will no longer be possible. However, there is [00:04:38] also good news for Russians: another [00:04:42] 30 days of visa-free stay can be added for an additional fee, which [00:04:45] will cost 1,900 baht or about 5,000 [00:04:49] rubles per person. At the same time, there is no need to leave the country; [00:04:52] it is enough to contact the immigration police. However, citizens who entered [00:04:56] Thailand before September 15th under the old rules [00:05:00] can stay in the country visa-free for up to 60 days, as [00:05:04] before. [00:05:08] Winter in Russia will be warm, foggy, and wet. [00:05:11] Air temperature throughout the territory is expected to be 3-4° [00:05:15] above normal. In the second half of winter, in central Russia, in the south, in the [00:05:18] Volga region, and in the northwestern part of the country, we expect an excess [00:05:22] of precipitation, especially in February, with wet snow and freezing rain. [00:05:25] Snowdrifts will not last long, but a slushy winter does not mean [00:05:29] an absence of frosts, say forecasters. As for spring, it [00:05:32] will be ambiguous, and a warm summer is not to be expected; [00:05:36] it will most likely be cool and [00:05:38] rainy. Meteorological winter, that is, a stable [00:05:42] transition of temperature below zero, which in the capital region, according to the climate, usually [00:05:45] begins on November 14th, and [00:05:49] ends on March 20th, will be shorter by [00:05:52] at least 2-3 weeks. Well, the change from summer tires to winter [00:05:56] tires will happen later than usual. As [00:05:59] for Indian summer, which we are observing in the capital [00:06:03] now, today, according to the forecast, the air in Moscow will warm up to [00:06:06] +18, but forecasters do not rule out [00:06:10] short-term precipitation. The weather will remain [00:06:13] comfortable for some time, with daytime temperatures from +16 to [00:06:17] +21, but the sun will not peek out. [00:06:20] Cloudy with clearings, we expect a cold snap on the upcoming [00:06:24] weekend. Starting Monday, autumn will arrive, with +11 to [00:06:27] +16 [00:06:54] In a difficult situation, you feel alone with the problem, [00:06:57] when you accidentally transferred money to the wrong place, you are not [00:07:00] alone, a cancellation request [00:07:02] is ready, [00:07:05] when the product is wrong, and the seller [00:07:07] has disappeared, [00:07:10] you are not alone, issue a refund.

[00:10:30] Hello, this morning we will discuss why Lithuania decided [00:10:33] to deploy nuclear weapons on its territory, and also tell you [00:10:36] how Russia, together with the BRICS countries, is undertaking space [00:10:40] projects. But first, let's watch a video about why Trump displeased [00:10:43] the Irish. [00:10:48] The Irish threw Trump in the trash. This is the monument [00:10:51] erected by Dublin residents after the private visit of the US [00:10:55] President to their city. First, they cursed him with their last words in [00:10:58] their [00:10:59] protest. [00:11:05] It did not help the Americans hint that Ireland should be [00:11:08] united. With this monument, the Irish [00:11:11] artistically expressed to Trump the idea "Not welcome to [00:11:15] Dublin". [00:11:21] But in Kyiv, the US president would have been received with open arms, if he had [00:11:25] arrived there. They wouldn't have cared that Trump withheld Patriot missiles for [00:11:28] Ukraine, and generally blamed him for the rise in [00:11:31] diesel prices and the increase in prices at American gas stations. [00:11:35] Russian enterprises are being attacked by [00:11:38] Ukraine. I asked Zelensky not to attack [00:11:42] enterprises producing [00:11:45] diesel. What's the point after what he [00:11:48] himself arranged in the Middle East? Well, the gentleman [00:11:51] quickly demoted Zelensky from favored [00:11:55] to whipping [00:11:55] boy. [00:12:01] I'm not talking about that, I won't pass by this uncomplicated [00:12:05] sincerity. If once, when I [00:12:09] herded cows in the village, and the neighbor's children threw cow [00:12:13] dung at me, if someone told me that I would be in key [00:12:16] EU institutions with representatives of the [00:12:19] European Parliament discussing some important issues regarding [00:12:22] Ukraine, I probably wouldn't have believed it. Excuse us for the word [00:12:26] European Parliament, we can only say that Valeriya Mandzyuk's [00:12:30] hometown, as this comedy blogger is called, [00:12:33] was very lucky when the girl was taken from there to [00:12:37] Europe, but it turned out to be impossible to take the village out [00:12:40] of the girl. However, the European Parliament has seen [00:12:44] Ukrainian clowns who were worse. All the children threw cow [00:12:47] dung at me. [00:12:51] Well, now I'll tell you why geochemists at [00:13:07] the US National Security Agency are preparing for the largest internal reorganization [00:13:11] in the last 10 years. According to The Washington Post, the main goal is to quickly [00:13:15] transfer developed data to the military, as well as to focus on key [00:13:19] threats. Therefore, it is planned to create five new directions: [00:13:22] artificial intelligence, China, [00:13:25] security, military operations, and global intelligence. Each of [00:13:29] these directions will be led by a separate mission chief. [00:13:32] The Ministry of Education of Russia has issued recommendations for the use of artificial [00:13:36] intelligence in schools, reports Kommersant. Students in [00:13:38] grades 1-4 are not allowed to use [00:13:42] AI independently in lessons. In grades 5-9, only under the supervision of [00:13:45] a teacher. High school students are allowed to use neural networks only [00:13:49] in project and research work. Teachers can [00:13:52] use AI for preparing materials, analysis. [00:14:17] in deep-sea alkaline hydrothermal vents, as PNAS writes, [00:14:20] scientists from Calgary re-examined the chemistry of ancient oceans and concluded [00:14:23] that the water of such vents was slightly alkaline and contained almost [00:14:27] no sulfur, contrary to previous models. Because of this, the proton [00:14:31] gradient between the vents and the acidic ocean, which was necessary [00:14:34] for the initiation of the first chemical reactions, was likely [00:14:38] absent. The authors consider the version that life originated in terrestrial [00:14:42] lakes and drying reservoirs, where substances [00:14:45] concentrated during evaporation, to be more [00:14:48] plausible. Oh, everything fell into place, during evaporation, and that [00:14:52] means clouds were formed, who sits on a cloud, everything [00:14:55] fell into place. No. This means that distillates are formed, [00:14:58] and where there are distillates, there is life. In a few minutes, [00:15:01] we will discuss where nuclear weapons [00:15:03] can be deployed in [00:15:08] Lithuania. Watch today on Open Air: units of the [00:15:12] North group of forces are confidently advancing in the Kharkiv [00:15:15] region.

[00:18:46] No, to peaceful atom, yes to combat atom. Such [00:18:49] a slogan is being put forward by the Lithuanian authorities to its citizens. Initially, [00:18:53] President Gitanas Nausėda, and recently the Speaker [00:18:56] of Parliament, Juozas Olekas, proposed [00:18:59] to rewrite the constitution. These politicians intend to remove [00:19:02] the pacifist article from the basic law and allow the deployment of [00:19:06] nuclear weapons. [00:19:46] was there nuclear weapons in Lithuania during the USSR? Let's start with the fact that, first, [00:19:50] when the Soviet Union collapsed, fell apart, [00:19:53] mildly speaking, right? Then Lithuania was a little [00:19:57] ahead of all the others, all the republics that became independent [00:20:01] states, they were extraterritorially divided, what [00:20:04] does that mean for the army, everything that was on the territory. [00:20:37] apparently also stopped it, they closed the barrier, stop, [00:20:41] leave the tank, yes, they broke everything, but there were silos, there were silos, [00:20:45] yes, there weren't many of them, but they were there, these [00:20:48] were not strategic nuclear forces, [00:20:51] medium-range action, that is, [00:20:54] something a little more than a Pioneer or something, what do [00:20:58] you think, are they mothballed or destroyed? No, there was [00:21:01] such a feature that when we took the missiles themselves, [00:21:05] the nuclear ammunition from all countries, [00:21:08] where new countries, states, [00:21:11] took it away, nuclear weapons remained only in [00:21:15] the arsenals of Russia, everything [00:21:17] else became worthless and gone. [00:21:20] The silos themselves are also very interesting [00:21:23] and complex launch devices. Of course, they were [00:21:27] partially dismantled. First, something very [00:21:30] important was removed. Well, where are the features [00:21:34] of the alarms, controls, [00:21:37] amortization? [00:21:39] There were some secret deep command posts, that's what was important, [00:21:43] and all that, of course, was removed. [00:21:46] They managed to take it out, and indeed, according to the agreement. This [00:21:50] was done correctly, so these silos remained, [00:21:53] I think that somewhere in a museum version, maybe, [00:21:56] one or two were preserved, [00:21:59] the rest, as a rule, were, of course, filled in, [00:22:02] so, I think that, by the way, bunkers [00:22:06] also remained. The ban on the deployment of foreign military [00:22:10] bases and nuclear weapons in the Lithuanian constitution was introduced [00:22:13] in 1992. The country joined NATO [00:22:16] 12 years later, and for 22 years, Lithuania [00:22:20] has been a full member of the alliance with all the ensuing [00:22:23] guarantees. Why did they suddenly decide to deploy [00:22:26] nuclear weapons on their territory? [00:22:29] Probably, such [00:22:32] hopelessness arose within them. [00:22:35] They highly exalted themselves and [00:22:39] thought that the whole planet revolved around them, right? But [00:22:42] it turned out not to be so. They quickly realized that [00:22:46] without these NATO structures, it means [00:22:50] nothing. Well, what is a Baltic army? [00:22:53] In one of the Baltic states, Lithuania, [00:22:57] yes, in the center of Vilnius, there is the General Staff and so on, [00:23:01] but that's all, approximately, well, a little [00:23:04] more than our division of ground forces. Imagine, [00:23:07] the entire army consists of four different [00:23:11] components. Look, police-type, [00:23:14] Interior Ministry, internal troops, as it were, yes, they [00:23:18] are border troops, then... [00:23:50] the nuclear umbrella will extend to all of Europe and [00:23:53] further to the Baltics, especially or to [00:23:56] Finland, he is interested in this, [00:23:59] but most likely they themselves wanted this, [00:24:02] because the inferiority of their behavior [00:24:06] is evident. This establishment [00:24:09] is certainly drawn to the West, [00:24:12] and it needs to somehow prove itself so that [00:24:16] the West would pat it on the head or say a kind word. That's [00:24:20] the only reason all this is being done. And to infringe, [00:24:24] bite, or sting, they can't even bite, but they can [00:24:27] sting Russia a little stealthily. That [00:24:30] works. Well, I'll continue what we've already started. Currently, de jure, [00:24:34] there are no foreign military bases in Lithuania, but de facto, a NATO [00:24:38] contingent has long been stationed in the country. To avoid violating [00:24:40] the constitution, there's a simple mechanism: rotation. [00:24:44] Foreign military personnel are present in Lithuania on a rotational basis, but effectively [00:24:47] permanently. For example, at the air... [00:25:02] Lithuania, Vilnius airport was closed, Americans are [00:25:06] stationed at the Pabrade training ground, Germans are already deploying a Bundeswehr brigade [00:25:10] to Rudninkai on the border with Belarus, where they are, by the way, [00:25:13] building a base themselves. In Rukla, Lithuanian soldiers share barracks with [00:25:16] multinational NATO forces. [00:25:20] What do Lithuanians themselves think about foreign military personnel in their country? I think they [00:25:23] also have a dual impression of [00:25:26] this. They are in favor of it, of course, yes, but [00:25:29] their society is also not unified, unfortunately [00:25:33] for them, but maybe it's good for us. The second [00:25:37] half, of course, they even treat it with [00:25:41] some disdain, because they have [00:25:44] their own opinion now, but they should have [00:25:47] their own opinion when they themselves develop and create [00:25:51] at least one nuclear warhead, but they don't have them, which means that someone [00:25:54] will give them these warheads, possibly, but they will be forbidden to [00:25:58] use them, absolutely right. Why do they need it then? They [00:26:01] are becoming... [00:26:04] For politicians, you know, this is secondary. For the people, this [00:26:08] is dangerous, yes, as soon as any [00:26:11] tactical, even the smallest nuclear weapon appears in any state, especially [00:26:15] so close to our state borders and to [00:26:18] Kaliningrad, we must always remember that, so [00:26:22] in this case, the first thing that will appear for them on our [00:26:25] maps, on our flight assignments for strategic [00:26:29] nuclear forces, of all three components, are crosses [00:26:32] and zeros, yes, therefore the coordinates of targets, that's [00:26:35] everything. What do you think, how much time will they need to [00:26:39] recreate the entire infrastructure, even considering that they had [00:26:43] Soviet experience? Experience means [00:26:45] nothing to them, because the entire Soviet Union participated, [00:26:49] and Lithuanians only provided the territory, we understand that, yes. [00:26:53] Now, a minimum of 3 years, that's [00:26:56] a minimum. Then there are bunkers, there are silos, and [00:27:00] also access roads. New ones need to be created, [00:27:04] and these sites need to be camouflaged. Then [00:27:07] some additional fortifications need to be created. [00:27:11] This could be, if it's French weapons, then most likely it [00:27:14] will be weapons on Rafales, which means they only need an airfield for this, [00:27:18] not only, why, where to store it, where to prepare it? Ammunition is [00:27:22] also in disassembled form, especially [00:27:24] nuclear ones. All components are assembled [00:27:27] before use. [00:27:30] If we talk about Lithuania's proximity to our borders, then it's [00:27:34] Kaliningrad, as you correctly said, St. Petersburg, Moscow, nearby, [00:27:37] yes, so they don't need deep silos, it's from mobile [00:27:41] carriers. No, but from whom, Sasha, from whom will they get silo-based [00:27:43] weapons? Europeans don't have it. In any case, it's needed, it [00:27:47] only exists with Americans and us, and I think the Chinese have it, [00:27:51] silo-based, yes, yes. But look, if we seriously [00:27:54] consider what can be said about Lithuania, well, after the incident with [00:27:58] the birds, for example, well, you [00:28:01] know, how can one characterize it? [00:29:02] You don't know, but for NATO countries, this is their internal affair, it turns out. Inside [00:29:06] NATO, are there any prohibitions on the deployment of nuclear weapons in certain [00:29:09] NATO member states? Absolutely not, provided that only [00:29:13] France, for example, or Great Britain, or the United [00:29:17] States of America will operate and use them. That's all. The rest is [00:29:21] just a short answer. Do you think nuclear weapons will be [00:29:25] deployed on Lithuanian territory? Not today, but I think [00:29:29] tomorrow they will. Thank [00:29:32] lift the ban on the deployment of nuclear weapons on its territory was discussed with [00:29:35] honored military pilot of Russia, Vladimir Popov. After the news release, [00:29:39] we will tell you how digital assistants are getting out of [00:29:42] control. [00:29:46] Join those who are made of honor, [00:29:49] valor, and courage. Join your [00:29:53] own! [00:30:10] This is the news on Zvezda TV channel. Maria Semenova in the studio. [00:30:13] Good morning.

[00:30:24] Orekhov is a key defense hub of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Zaporizhzhia region. [00:30:27] Now our units are advancing from several [00:30:31] directions at once.
