00:01:00Details of the liberation of the village of Zornitsa in the Zaporizhzhia
00:01:03region have become known. Our military says that a network of
00:01:07underground shelters set up by militants and enemy
00:01:11machine gun positions hindered their advance there. Attack aircraft of the Vostok group entered
00:01:14in small groups. As a result, they managed to take control of an important
00:01:18logistics hub of the AFU.
00:01:22No less than 10 commercial vessels passed through the Armud Strait in a day,
00:01:25CNN reports. Earlier, Iran and Oman agreed on the route.
00:01:42Russian troops are 175 years old, and the military
00:01:45performs tasks in any, including difficult climatic
00:01:48conditions. In the special operation zone, soldiers and railway workers
00:01:52clear mines, restore damaged tracks, build
00:01:55bridges, and provide cover
00:02:16Mykolaiv, in Kyiv-controlled Zaporizhzhia, and in the Kharkiv
00:02:19suburbs. This is information from Ukrainian media. They write about severe
00:02:23fires, but what exactly was hit is not specified yet. Air raid sirens were
00:02:26also declared in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia,
00:02:30and other regions. I note that in response to Kyiv's terrorist
00:02:33attacks on our civilian infrastructure, the Russian
00:02:37military precisely disables facilities associated with the AFU in
00:02:40the rear areas
00:02:41of Ukraine.
00:02:44Fighters of the Vostok group revealed details of the liberation of the village of Zornitsa in the
00:02:48Zaporizhzhia region. The enemy had equipped a network of fortifications there with
00:02:51underground passages. This complicated the advance of our
00:02:55assault troops. They entered the settlement in small
00:02:58groups and eliminated them.
00:03:30They used what they rolled up. Between
00:03:32the houses there were very many dug
00:03:36holes. They were like, one person
00:03:39would climb out, for example, from one side, you work on him, and
00:03:43he hides, and from the other side, the same
00:03:46enemy can
00:03:49crawl out.
00:03:51In the Donetsk People's Republic, our anti-drone platoon
00:03:55repelled an attack by AFU drones. The enemy was targeting the positions of a tank
00:03:58division, but all his...
00:04:30...what a construction student from the Kirov region signed a contract
00:04:33and became an experienced defender of the sky. He already has
00:04:36several dozen downed enemy quadcopters.
00:04:39They fly by quite often, at least once an hour
00:04:42for sure. The task is to monitor the airspace.
00:04:45Upon detection, it is natural
00:04:48to report, and if possible, to engage, counter,
00:04:51and shoot down. At the post of the anti-drone platoon of the 4th regiment
00:04:54of the 90th tank division of the Center group of forces, everything is militarily
00:04:58simple, really. What else is needed, just give me
00:05:01ammunition. Near each air observation post there is such a
00:05:04signaling device. Traditional means are also used, as you
00:05:08can see, a flask. In case of an attack on...
00:05:12...this air observation post or a drone is flying, the soldiers
00:05:16also launch such signal flares
00:05:19to alert neighbors and the unit
00:05:22they are covering. The posts themselves often
00:05:25become targets for the enemy. Among what was shot down
00:05:29were DarTS-2, Valkyrie, Folia, reconnaissance
00:05:33drones, attack drones. The defense is echeloned,
00:05:36meaning there are exactly the same air observation posts near us. One will
00:05:40see, tell others, all flying...
00:05:42...drones are recorded by the Donbass dome system, which unites all
00:05:46mobile fire groups into a single defense circuit. They shoot down
00:05:49quadcopters with machine guns, as well as Kamikaze drones, and the Fir tree,
00:05:53equipped with artificial intelligence, successfully hits
00:05:56enemy attack drones. It automatically calibrates,
00:06:00gives sound signals,
00:06:02and aims. Air observation post. Yes,
00:06:06received. Now from the neighboring post
00:06:09they reported that an enemy bird is flying towards us
00:06:13and the soldiers have now headed to their positions. It happens that
00:06:16an enemy bird can change its flight direction, you can't
00:06:20guess here, but each signal is processed in combat
00:06:23mode. We waited ten minutes, the drone never
00:06:27appeared, this time we got lucky.
00:06:30And this is a mobile fire group. On a pickup truck, soldiers of the 177th
00:06:34Marine Regiment, Center group of forces, fly through
00:06:37mesh tunnels behind Krasnoarmeysk towards
00:06:40Dobropolye, accompanying the military...
00:06:53And the enemy does not slumber, the sky is literally swarming with Ukrainian military drones, they are firing at them
00:06:57with a machine gun. It has two
00:07:01PKT machine guns from BTR, a thermal imaging camera,
00:07:05a regular camera, and a screen. As soon as a target appears
00:07:08in the sky, the group directs a sheer firestorm towards it. Thousands
00:07:13of rounds, each downed drone means a saved life
00:07:16of comrades, another step towards victory. Vadim Topalov,
00:07:20Alexander Karavaev, Vesti Donetsk.
00:07:23Well, now let's find out what's new in the world of economics. Kirill
00:07:26Khovrin joins us. Kirill, good morning. In Russia, weekly
00:07:30deflation was recorded for the first time in several months. Yes, and the fruit and vegetable sector
00:07:33became the driver. Prices for cabbage, potatoes, carrots,
00:07:37and tomatoes fell. In Russia, consumer
00:07:41deflation, that is, a decrease in prices in general for goods and services,
00:07:44was recorded for the first time since mid-May. So, by August 3rd,
00:07:48weekly deflation was 2/4%. At
00:07:51the same time, annual inflation accelerated slightly to
00:07:546.11%. In the food segment, the growth rate of consumer
00:07:58prices slowed to 5% over the week.
00:08:00In particular, as already mentioned, fruit and vegetable
00:08:04products became cheaper. In the non-food goods segment, deflation
00:08:08was also observed - 18%. This
00:08:11is due to price dynamics in. In the services sector, inflation was
00:08:1412%. Here, a decrease in
00:08:18hotel service prices served as a restraining factor.
00:08:21Meanwhile, the Bank of Russia revised its inflation forecast range for this year
00:08:25upwards. It increased by 1.5% compared to the previous
00:08:28estimate in April, to 6.7% instead
00:08:32of 4.5-5.5%. According to the results of the second quarter, as noted in
00:08:35the review, annual inflation was 6%, which
00:08:39was close to the April forecast. However, in June-July...
00:08:42...an acceleration was observed, mainly due to prices for
00:08:45petroleum products.
00:08:48The key reason for the revision is the price dynamics in recent
00:08:51months. We saw that in the summer, price growth significantly
00:08:55accelerated. The main role in this was, of course, played by fuel,
00:08:58and motor fuel, gasoline,
00:09:01diesel. Uh, I suspect that the Bank of Russia slightly factored in
00:09:05the transfer of increased logistics costs to final
00:09:09goods, to the final prices of other goods and services.
00:09:12But the main reason is, of course, motor fuel. In
00:09:16the future, the Bank of Russia expects a gradual stabilization of the situation in
00:09:20the fuel market, a slowdown in the growth of consumer prices, including under
00:09:23the influence of the ongoing monetary policy. In the second half of the year,
00:09:26the Central Bank believes, sustained inflation will remain in the range of
00:09:294-5% on an annual basis, and the indicator will return to
00:09:33the target level of 4% in
00:09:362027. The Russian government adopted a resolution
00:09:40that allows until July 1st. The decision
00:09:49is temporary in nature,
00:09:52it is aimed at ensuring a stable supply of automotive
00:09:56fuel to the domestic market and preventing a possible
00:09:59shortage. It is also emphasized that this is not about
00:10:02revising the long-term state policy in the field
00:10:05of environmental requirements for motor fuel. The same
00:10:09resolution invalidates previously adopted decisions. notes
00:10:28that more than 330,000 American companies are still waiting for
00:10:31refunds, meaning budget expenditures will continue
00:10:35to rise. Let me remind you that after the US Supreme Court's decision on
00:10:38the illegality of previous duties, Trump has already managed to introduce new ones from 10 to
00:10:4225%. And if before he relied on emergency
00:10:46economic powers, now he relies on the use of slave
00:10:50labor, which many trading partners allegedly
00:10:53resort to. The official exchange rates today are $1 = 80
00:10:56rubles 92 kopecks, Euro 93.19, and Yuan
00:11:07Oman have agreed on a route for ships in the Hormuz Strait, the Islamic Republic's
00:11:11Foreign Ministry announced. Under the terms of the deal, control over
00:11:15ships will go to Tehran, Reuters writes. Meanwhile, Donald
00:11:19Trump demanded an explanation from the Pentagon as to where almost
00:11:22all American missiles went. The topic will be continued by Leyla
00:11:25Hajiyeva. Energy facilities in the Persian
00:11:29Gulf countries will be attacked in case of new US aggression.
00:11:33The Reuters agency writes about Tehran's warnings. All this is against
00:11:36the backdrop of ongoing negotiations. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:11:40of the Islamic Republic announced that Iran and Oman have agreed on
00:11:43a route for ships in the Strait of Hormuz, hinting that
00:11:46the agreement will come into effect if no one interferes. Control
00:11:50over shipping will be directly with Tehran.
00:11:53Reuters calls this...
00:12:55...to conquer Iran, like, for example, Syria, in 48 hours. Trump
00:12:58invariably claims that it was not Americans who asked for negotiations
00:13:02at all.
00:13:05I would prefer to make a deal, because I don't want to
00:13:08kill people. We were ready for the most massive attack possible,
00:13:11in the last few months we have inflicted
00:13:15very strong blows on them. Speaking to voters
00:13:18in Las Vegas, Trump once again criticized
00:13:22the EU, calling the armies of European allies
00:13:25weak, and the Democrats also got it. According to the head of the White House, because of their
00:13:29rhetoric in Congress, hell could begin in the country by the end of the
00:13:33year. But there are also those who see a threat to the states directly
00:13:36in Republicans, in Democrats. The former head of
00:13:39the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent,
00:13:43confirmed the rumor that he, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and
00:13:47Thomas Massie hope to create a new political movement,
00:13:50or even a third party, that opposes
00:13:53unleashing.
00:14:03Now, since all forces are going to fight Iran, the US has no
00:14:06time left for Ukraine. Trump refused to transfer
00:14:10Patriot interceptor missiles to the AFU. The states themselves
00:14:13lack them, writes the Financial Times. Trump questioned
00:14:17Pete Hegseth about why the depletion of
00:14:21stockpiles happened at all. According to the Washington Post, the US president rebuked
00:14:25the head of the Pentagon, as he was confident that the problem with arsenals
00:14:28had already been solved. In response to Washington's inaction, complaints immediately
00:14:32followed from Kyiv. Zelensky again
00:14:35strongly urged partners to help. Leila Hajiyeva,
00:14:38Vesti. Today is the anniversary of the tragedy in
00:14:42Hiroshima, exactly 81 years ago the US used
00:14:45an atomic bomb. Representatives of 127 countries and international
00:14:49organizations were invited to the ceremony that took place today
00:14:52in Japan. At the memorial for the memorial, the list of
00:14:56dead was updated, over 4,000 names were added over the year.
00:15:00The mayor of Hiroshima, the Prime Minister of Japan, and
00:15:03the NATO Secretary General spoke at the meeting. None of them mentioned that it was the US that dropped
00:15:06atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
00:15:10More than 200,000 people died
00:15:13from the explosion and its
00:15:14consequences.
00:15:19The heat in Europe intensifies every day, bringing new economic losses and
00:15:23making life more difficult for ordinary citizens. In London, for the first time in 155
00:15:27years, not a drop of rain fell in a month. Electricity consumption
00:15:30is rising, while energy generation capabilities are declining.
00:15:34Maria Filippova has all the details.
00:15:38Europe is under drought pressure, lack of rain, against the background of which
00:15:41forest fires are raging, the safety of the population, including food
00:15:44security, is under attack. Thus, British farmers warn of
00:15:48the possibility of a shortage of agricultural products. In London,
00:15:52not a drop of rain for a month, this is the first time in 155 years
00:15:55of observations. Among other records of European
00:15:59heat and shallowing rivers, the water in the Danube is at its lowest level in the last
00:16:0330 years, the Rhine is drying up. This is a problem not only for the passage of ships,
00:16:06nuclear power plants cannot get enough water for cooling and are forced
00:16:10to reduce energy production. France, Romania, and
00:16:13Hungary are reducing their capacities. The losses are significant,
00:16:17experts clarify. For example, the output of one and a half power units
00:16:21of the Hungarian Paks NPP is 700
00:16:23MW. The shallowing of rivers led to Hungary
00:16:27losing 90% of its nuclear generation, France up to
00:16:3145% and accordingly Romania up to
00:16:3360%. The total loss to GDP
00:16:37for... will amount, according to European analysts' calculations, to 0.4 to
00:16:400.6% of GDP. Electricity
00:16:44consumption is growing at the same time, production and ordinary consumers cannot
00:16:47refuse air conditioners. Analysts, in turn,
00:16:50talk about a new European energy crisis, and
00:16:53evaluate the rejection of Russian sources as a blow to the competitiveness of
00:16:57their own economy.
00:17:00There are several signs that the system in some parts of Europe is close to its limit.
00:17:04The main one is high cost.
00:17:13Europe, so there are definitely signs of a crisis. I also think that demand reallocation is a big
00:17:17uncertainty. Heat, rising fuel and fertilizer prices
00:17:21make the situation of agriculture precarious. According to experts,
00:17:25the EU faces new expenses, as countries will soon face
00:17:28the need to subsidize farmers' losses. If,
00:17:32for example, there is a shortage of food, then the most
00:17:35vulnerable will be vegetables, fruits, olive oil,
00:17:39wine, feed for livestock, respectively, here there may be
00:17:43such a situation, arise that the volumes of production, in fact, will accordingly
00:17:46decrease, then the cost of existing products will grow, the volume of
00:17:50imports will increase, because it will be necessary to cover needs, and food
00:17:53inflation will accelerate. According to some
00:17:57forecasts, Europe will have to reorient itself to food
00:18:01supplies from abroad, and possible suppliers may
00:18:04include Brazil, Canada, the USA, Morocco, Egypt, and Turkey. The alliance itself
00:18:07will experience deindustrialization more strongly. For example, the expediency
00:18:11of producing agricultural machinery in
00:18:14the European Union may be in question.
00:18:27our drone crews destroyed disguised AFU dugouts,
00:18:31firing points, and drone launch
00:18:33sites. In the zone of responsibility of the Southern Group of Forces,
00:18:37a Russian Mi-28 helicopter
00:18:39accurately hit targets.
00:18:42Kyiv has no remaining weapon stockpiles on the battlefield. This statement was made
00:18:45by the Ambassador of Ukraine to Britain and former Commander-in-Chief of the AFU, Valeriy
00:18:49Zaluzhny. According to him, practically all types of weapons allocated
00:18:53by NATO have already been used at the front, and Russia
00:18:56has found a worthy response to everything.
00:19:00In Japan, the victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima are remembered. At
00:19:03the ceremony, none of the speakers mentioned that it was the USA that launched
00:19:07the attack. In August 1945, American pilots dropped atomic
00:19:11bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
00:19:14More than 200,000 civilians
00:19:17died.
00:19:19In the Tyumen region, an unprecedented flood. Due to rains, rivers began to
00:19:22overflow. Roads are closed, ferry crossings across the
00:19:26Tobol are not working. It is impossible to get to the village near the Pyshma River.
00:19:30In some areas, you can only move by
00:19:32boat.
00:25:42of the plane that went missing on Monday, August 3rd, was rescued. The pilots have already returned
00:25:46to Bodaybo, where they were examined by medics. I remind you, a light
00:25:50Cessna of the forest fire service disappeared from radar during a routine patrol
00:25:54of the territory. The crew did not send a distress signal, but did not
00:25:57return at the appointed time. Search operations began, two
00:26:01helicopters and a plane were sent into the sky. Thick fog hung over
00:26:04the disaster area, and the search had to be suspended.
00:26:08a radio station and report their coordinates. It turned out that
00:26:11the plane landed due to bad weather about 100 km from
00:26:14Bodaybo. A helicopter was immediately sent to
00:26:17evacuate them.
00:26:21The first shift of the Bars detachment in Udmurtia has ended. The abbreviation
00:26:24stands for Combat Army Reserve of the Country. Its
00:26:27fighters protected strategic facilities of the region from drones. The duty
00:26:31lasted 2 months. Marina Bal found out how the
00:26:34service went.
00:26:36The first shift of the Bars detachment, the combat army reserve of
00:26:40the country, has completed its duty. For two
00:26:43months, volunteers performed the task of protecting strategic
00:26:47facilities of the military-industrial complex of Udmurtia from drone
00:26:50attacks. Alexey Samarov has extensive
00:26:53army experience behind him, having participated in many combat operations, so he joined
00:26:57Bars without hesitation. For the last 2 months, our task
00:27:01was to protect the Udmurt sky.
00:27:05Before starting service, reservists underwent training at
00:27:08the Ministry of Defense training grounds, mastering
00:27:11tactical, medical, fire training, and anti-drone
00:27:14countermeasures. The detachment in Udmurtia began to form on May
00:27:1815th. Not only retired military personnel, but also SVO veterans join
00:27:22the unit. Anticipating a possible threat is one of
00:27:25Bars' tasks. We study all this in a timely
00:27:29manner, take measures, that is, information is communicated.
00:27:34We study new types of
00:27:37UAVs, missiles that are used, that is,
00:27:40tactical and technical. characteristics,
00:27:42contours, silhouettes, to be, as they say, ready
00:27:46with all weapons. The squad members note that the service at the facilities
00:27:49is established, round-the-clock observation posts allow control
00:27:53of the airspace and territories adjacent to
00:27:56the guarded object. Importantly, volunteers are on duty
00:27:59only on the territory of the republic, now the first group is being replaced
00:28:03by new snow leopards, as candidates are considered
00:28:06employees of enterprises, private security organizations, participants
00:28:10in hostilities, the total amount of payments during a two-month
00:28:13service is from 75,000 rubles. While the reservist
00:28:17is on duty, he is expected at work, his position
00:28:20is retained, he receives his salary. Marina Bal,
