00:00:00the fact that, relatively speaking, uncertainty and
00:00:03risks have increased, so people are creating large
00:00:06reserves.
00:00:08Consumer activity, as noted by the Bank of Russia in the second quarter of this year,
00:00:12indeed turned out to be higher than expected, this is linked, in particular, to the realization of
00:00:16deferred demand, but in the second half of the year, the regulator expects
00:00:19consumption to return to more restrained
00:00:21growth.
00:02:50Georgia was once again left without electricity, all cities in the country, including
00:02:53Tbilisi, were plunged into darkness. Traffic lights went out on the streets, the metro was stopped,
00:02:57people were led to the surface in the dark. A large
00:03:01part of Abkhazia is in the outage zone. There is no electricity, and
00:03:04no water, everything due to another failure at the Inguri HPP. I will note that
00:03:08this is already the third large-scale outage in the last 2
00:03:11weeks. In the Tyumen region, the flood disrupted
00:03:15communication. Roads are blocked. The ferry crossing the Tobol river is not
00:03:19working. Several villages in the area of the Pyshma river were also
00:03:22cut off. In some areas, it is only possible to travel by
00:03:26boat. I remind you that heavy rains
00:03:30led to a large-scale flood. The
00:03:32heat in the Rostov region led to massive power outages, the Ministry of Emergency Situations
00:03:35issued emergency warnings, the air today, according to
00:03:38forecasts, will warm up to +40°.
00:03:41Residents were urged not to stay in the sun for too long, to drink more
00:03:45water.
00:03:48Well, let's continue to talk about the weather. So, the heat in the European part of Russia is reaching its
00:03:51peak. At the same time, in the west and south of the region, rains have begun.
00:03:55Anna Volkova will tell us more about everything. She is already in the studio. Anna, hello, how
00:03:59strong will they be? And should we expect floods? Hello,
00:04:02today in the central strip, only local short-term thunderstorms are possible,
00:04:06but tomorrow, when after the heat, a cold
00:04:10atmospheric front approaches, intense downpours and
00:04:13squalls are not ruled out.
00:04:15So, after heavy rain, the courtyard on Vatutin Street in
00:04:19Nalchik was flooded. Parked cars went into the water up to the hood. In
00:04:2324 hours, the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria received 37 mm of
00:04:26precipitation, with a significant portion falling in a very short time.
00:04:30Storm drains, whose manholes quickly became clogged with
00:04:34garbage left on the road, in some areas, were unable to
00:04:37divert a large amount of water. Thunderstorms covered
00:04:41the west of the country at night and in the morning, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the
00:04:44Kaliningrad region. The day before, the air in the region warmed up to
00:04:48almost +33. Heavy precipitation has not
00:04:52been recorded at this time. The Kaliningrad weather station noted only 5
00:04:55mm of moisture. It
00:04:58flashed strongly in Orel in the morning.
00:05:12observatories in the northwest and in some places in the Central
00:05:16Volga Federal Districts, the sky is covered with
00:05:19cumulonimbus clouds, a warm atmospheric front,
00:05:22it was the cause of night thunderstorms.
00:05:26The main masses of cumulonimbus clouds are now
00:05:28concentrated near the Baltic coast, where
00:05:31the main core of the cyclone is moving. Tomorrow, the main
00:05:35zone of bad weather will reach Central
00:05:37Russia as well.
00:05:39Today, the Azores High can still push
00:05:43midday heat into the southern half of European Russia, and
00:05:46Atlantic cyclones will continue to move along its northern
00:05:49periphery, so the north of European Russia will be in the rain
00:05:53zone. According to model estimates, the daily precipitation intensity will not
00:05:56exceed 4-7 mm, in middle and southern
00:06:00latitudes, sunny and dry weather will prevail, however,
00:06:03local thunderstorms and heavy rains are not ruled out. The peak of the heat in
00:06:07the Russian Plain will fall on the end of the working week, with
00:06:10temperatures reaching thirty degrees. Thermometer readings will reach
00:06:13even the Upper Volga, and Southern Russia will be at the epicenter of the
00:06:17heat, where daytime temperatures will reach +35
00:06:21+40. However, such heat will not last
00:06:24long. In Moscow, today it is +24. During
00:06:28the day, a warm atmospheric front will cross the capital
00:06:31region, bringing increased cloudiness and
00:06:34a small localized rain, while the air
00:06:38during the day will warm up to +27 +30. On Friday, it will be
00:06:42warm.
00:06:50After the passage of the cold front, the heat will recede, and cooler
00:06:54air masses will begin to arrive in the center of the country. On the weekend, daytime temperatures will be
00:06:58+23 +26.
00:07:00Anna, thank you, Anna Volkova
00:07:04told us about the peak of the heat and the start of rains in Central
00:07:07Russia. To other topics, the first shift of the BARs
00:07:10detachment has ended in Udmurtia. This is an abbreviation for the combat
00:07:14army reserve of the country. For 2 months, the fighters guarded
00:07:18strategic objects of the region from drones. Marina
00:07:21Bal learned how the service went. The first shift of the BARS detachment,
00:07:23or the combat army reserve of the country, has completed
00:07:27its duty. For two months, volunteers performed
00:07:31tasks to protect strategic objects of the military-industrial
00:07:34complex of Udmurtia from drone attacks. Alexey
00:07:37Samarov has extensive military experience behind him. He participated in
00:07:41many combat operations, so he joined BARS without hesitation.
00:07:45For the past 2 months, our task has been to protect
00:07:49the Udmurt sky. Before starting service,
00:07:52reservists underwent training at Ministry of
00:07:56Defense training grounds, mastering tactical, medical, and fire
00:07:58training, and countering drones. The detachment in Udmurtia
00:08:02began to be formed on May 15. Not
00:08:05only retired military personnel, but also SVO veterans join the units, anticipating
00:08:09possible. adjacent
00:08:42now to the guarded object,
00:08:45it is important that volunteers are on duty only on the territory of the republic,
00:08:49the first group is being replaced by new BARs. Employees
00:08:53of enterprises, private security organizations, combat
00:08:56veterans are considered as candidates. The total amount of payments during
00:09:00the two-month service is from 75 thousand
00:09:03rubles. While the reservist is on duty, he is expected at

00:13:49Railway troops of Russia celebrate today 175 years since their
00:13:52founding. The units successfully perform.
00:14:25but it turns out that the railway troops this year are strictly
00:14:28speaking, not 150, but 175 years old, everything
00:14:32as always, rails-rails, sleepers-sleepers, and also in
00:14:35conditions of combat operations. The railway heritage from
00:14:39Ukraine remained quite dubious, everything here is very
00:14:42clear. These rails are not just worn out, but
00:14:46worn out to such an extent that they cannot be used. Nothing
00:14:49has been repaired here, practically since the collapse of the
00:14:52Soviet Union, and precisely here a comprehensive military
00:14:56railway approach is very much needed. This path is being reanimated by
00:15:00the guys from the consolidated railway restoration battalion of the Center
00:15:04group of forces, and passing engine drivers, of course, greet
00:15:07the work of the military with a festive congratulatory
00:15:10whistle.
00:15:15Because they also cover their work. Here are shots of how
00:15:18railway soldiers shoot down one of the most harmful enemy drones
00:15:22today, the Hornet.
00:15:26In addition, railway sappers
00:15:29daily check hundreds of kilometers of tracks and
00:15:32sidings in the SVO zone, using drones, and, as they say, on foot
00:15:35in special equipment, because anything can appear here
00:15:39and in any way, and also in the most dangerous
00:15:42SVO areas, railway builders are already
00:15:45building network tunnels that turn
00:15:49death roads into life corridors. Structurally, it's not as
00:15:53simple as it seems, and here, a thorough approach of almost
00:15:56two centuries of Russian engineering school with iron
00:16:00traditions are needed as
00:16:02never before,
00:16:05but their main task is, of course, order. And for everything to be on
00:16:09schedule, especially in the SVO zone, despite everything, we
00:16:12can carry out track repairs of any
00:16:15complexity. How soon can a steam engine pass
00:16:19here? A steam engine can pass here in
00:16:22half an hour. Airplanes? No, no, only railways, that's our
00:16:26everything. Our interlocutor joined the railway troops after
00:16:29a civilian railway institute and a military department,
00:16:33and now, with the rank of senior lieutenant, he successfully commands
00:16:36his platoon. Give
00:16:37me the junction,
00:16:43you have fire, the dive began, and you finish
00:16:46here, understand? Well, of course, a railway soldier is first
00:16:49and foremost a warrior, he must be prepared for modern combat
00:16:52operations no less than for replacing
00:16:55sleepers. We prepare the first gift, after throwing the first
00:16:59grenade, we immediately go down to cover, we immediately prepare
00:17:03the second
00:17:03gift.
00:17:07I want to wish, first and foremost, strong health,
00:17:11especially physical endurance, overcoming all
00:17:14adversities, difficulties, obstacles, especially those who are in the zone
00:17:18of the special military operation. Railway
00:17:21troops are called to build and defend, victory will be
00:17:24ours. Grigory Vdovin, Alexander Botkin and Gennady Korneev,
00:17:27news from the Donetsk People's
00:17:29Republic. Now, an urgent message from
00:17:32Leninformagentstvo. Three teenagers were detained,
00:17:36who were collecting, on the instructions of curators, information about servicemen
00:17:39who planned a terrorist attack at a Rosgvardiya facility in Primorye, the
00:17:42FSB reported.
00:17:45Well, now let's talk about sports. Ilya Kostin has already appeared in our studio. Ilya,
00:17:48hello. FIFA has published an official statement regarding the sale of
00:17:52commercial rights to World Cups to third-party investors. Yes, the International
00:17:55Football Federation apologized for this initiative and said that such
00:17:59mistakes will not be repeated. More details in the issue, but let's start with another
00:18:03topic. Russian synchronized swimmers won their third
00:18:06gold medal at the European Aquatics Championships, which is taking place in
00:18:10Paris. Thus, our girls took the highest awards in all
00:18:13team disciplines at the tournament. Details from the scene from
00:18:17Daniil
00:18:17Makhalin.
00:18:23After the victory, you can already jump into the water yourself.
00:18:26So, the coach of our synchronized swimmers in acrobatics, Roman Izmailov, decided
00:18:30to celebrate another triumph. It's no coincidence that he, as part of the Russian national team,
00:18:34previously won world championship medals in diving... this is
00:19:41immense happiness, these emotions are indescribable, and
00:19:44the anticipation of scores, the announcement of scores,
00:19:47when you realize that you are first, standing on the
00:19:50pedestal, it's a fantastic
00:19:53feeling. The return of our synchronized swimmers to the international
00:19:57arena was spectacular, totaling the most awards at
00:20:01the tournament, once again the status of the best, which now
00:20:04will have to be maintained at the World Championships next year. and
00:20:07then at the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028. The
00:20:11skill that was laid down, and in general, I believe that the tradition of our synchronized
00:20:15swimming allowed us to mobilize at the right moment,
00:20:19quickly adapt, as it was yesterday with an additional element, yes, which
00:20:22they invented literally there - included overnight, and the most
00:20:26important thing is not that it was included, but the most important thing is that it was performed worthily,
00:20:30which led to victory, so this speaks of our colossal
00:20:33potential, and I am sure, this return, it...
00:20:38is significant, it is visible to everyone, so you feel a sense of
00:20:41pride from it. The Russian national team at the European Aquatics
00:20:45Championships continues to replenish its collection of
00:20:48medals, of which.
00:20:52four gold, four silver, and four
00:20:55bronze medals, and this is still far from over.
00:20:58Daniil Makhalin, Sergey Eliseev, Vesti
00:21:01Paris. An exclusive interview with our channel after
00:21:05the triumph of the synchronized swimmers was given by the head coach of the Russian national team, Svetlana
00:21:08Romashina. She spoke about her further goals and what she likes in
00:21:12coaching. You can watch the full version of the conversation today on
00:21:15Russia-24 after 12 noon Moscow
00:21:18time.
00:21:20I liked this idea that came to my mind for the first time: to become
00:21:24an Olympic champion and a coach of Olympic champions. This does not mean that
00:21:28I do it somehow only for myself, not at all,
00:21:32of course not, I like most of all in my work
00:21:36when I see a spark in the eyes of
00:21:38athletes, I often call them
00:21:41children, well, in conversation with our
00:21:45coaches, but I understand that some of
00:21:48them are not so young.
00:22:04we are not so far apart in age, but at the same time I still treat them with some trepidation, kindness, respect, and I really want them to see the same dedication in our eyes. The Russian men's water polo team under 16 years old defeated
00:22:07Montenegro at the World Championship, which is being held in Croatia.
00:22:11The main time of the match ended in a draw 8:8, ours were more accurate
00:22:15in the penalty shootout 4:3. The Russians won three victories in three
00:22:18starting matches.
00:22:53The International Federation has published an
00:22:55official statement in which it apologized for plans to sell part
00:22:59of the commercial rights to the World Cups to third-party investors. The letter
00:23:03states that this initiative, for which FIFA President Gianni Infantino was sharply
00:23:06criticized, is no longer being considered. The organization
00:23:10admitted its mistake, but noted that plans to sell the rights were considered in
00:23:14full compliance with FIFA's regulatory framework. Infantino also
00:23:18sent a written apology to the members of the international football federation due to
00:23:22the сложившейся situation. I will add that due to plans to sell part
00:23:25of the commercial rights to the World Cups, UEFA threatened to boycott
00:23:29the tournaments. The Asian Football Confederation and the Football Confederation
00:23:32of North and Central America and the Caribbean basin also
00:23:36spoke out against it.
00:23:39Lionel Messi scored his first goals after the World Cup. He distinguished himself for
00:23:42Inter Miami in a League Cup match against Mexican Atletico
00:23:45San Luis. Lionel scored twice in the eleventh and forty-
00:23:49fourth minutes of the match. These goals helped Inter win
00:23:524:2. For the Argentine, the goals were his fourteenth and fifteenth
00:23:56in eighteen games within the club season. In total, in his
00:23:59career, Messi has 921 goals, and Cristiano
00:24:02Ronaldo has 976 goals, but the Portuguese played
00:24:06164 more
00:24:07matches.
00:24:10Moscow Spartak defeated Orenburg in the first round of the RPL Cup of
00:24:14Russia. The match ended with a score of 5:1. In the first
00:24:17half, the capital team scored two.
00:24:50and these: Moscow Dynamo in Voronezh with a minimal score defeated Fakel,
00:24:54Krasnodar defeated Grozny Akhmat in a penalty shootout, Zenit with
00:24:57a score of 1:0 defeated Kaliningrad
00:25:00Baltika.
00:25:02These were the most notable sports news at this minute. Kostya, it's your turn. Ilya, thank you,
00:25:06Ilya Kostin is following how competitions are held around
00:25:09the world. And to other topics. In Karelia, European diplomats
00:25:13faced condemnation from residents. Everything happened in the Sandarmokh
00:25:16tract. Victims of political repressions of years, and
00:25:20also Red Army soldiers and civilians who were killed by Finnish
00:25:23invaders during the Great Patriotic War, are buried there. Foreigners, accompanied by
00:25:27some Russian politicians and public figures, came to honor the memory of
00:25:31the fallen, but not all of them. Stanislav Bernwald will tell us
00:25:34more.
00:25:38At the entrance to the Sandarmokh tract, a chartered bus parks, and a chartered
00:25:41crowd, apparently, from among the followers of the extremist, already
00:25:44liquidated Memorial.
00:25:47Russia, right? Yes, Bernard Stanislavich, well, further
00:25:51more, two cars with diplomatic numbers
00:25:54park, blocking the exit for other cars. The Consul
00:25:58General of the Republic of Germany is currently heading
00:26:01to Sandarmokh. I wonder if he will lay flowers at the memorial
00:26:05plaque, which states that Red Army soldiers were shot
00:26:08here. Sandarmokh is
00:26:11indeed a terrible place. Prisoners of the Solovetsky camp from 1937-39
00:26:15of the last century were killed here. Later, during the occupation of Karelia,
00:26:19Finns shot captured Red Army soldiers here, but according to these
00:26:22people, Finns did not kill any prisoners here, and they generally
00:26:26did not know about this place, this is
00:26:29outright lies. Substantial
00:26:33Finnish trenches appeared here at the beginning of the Finnish occupation
00:26:36of Karelia during the Great Patriotic War. The Finn knew
00:26:39perfectly well what this place was.
00:26:43The graves here were fresh. Six kilometers from this place
00:26:46was a camp where Soviet prisoners of war were held.
00:26:50They were brought here, killed and buried here.
00:26:53Back in 2019, an expedition of the Russian Military Historical
00:26:57Society conducted a search operation at the sites of small execution pits
00:27:01and paired burials. The bodies of several people were
00:27:04exhumed, and soldiers' personal belongings, buttons from army tunics
00:27:08from the Great Patriotic War, and bullets of foreign
00:27:12production were found near the bodies. Prisoners were simply
00:27:16executed, but this is not an argument for admirers of the extremist
00:27:19memorial and foreign guests. Mr. General, just
00:27:23a few words,
00:27:26please tell me, please tell me, will you lay flowers today
00:27:30at the monument, which...
00:27:45The Consul General of Germany in St. Petersburg, Milan
00:27:48Simandel, and the First Secretary of the Czech Embassy in Moscow,
00:27:51Rostislav Toborsky, with tear-filled eyes, walk around
00:27:55Sandarmokh. First, they lay flowers at the monument to Polish
00:27:59victims of political repression, Jews, Georgians.
00:28:23to the memorial plaque for victims of political repression and the Finnish
00:28:26occupation, the foreign guests never approached. Karelian historian
00:28:30Alexander Stepanov recently published
00:28:45Russia as the successor of the USSR, in this scenario
00:28:49there is no place for those who defended the country from fascists and their
00:28:52accomplices during the Great Patriotic War, that
00:28:56we have only one, there is a correct victim, there is an incorrect one,
00:29:00who was shot under Stalin in our...
00:29:32was in history that they would not want to remember, Vladimir Popov,
00:29:36a close associate of Yuri Dmitriev, who is currently serving a sentence for
00:29:39pedophilia, participated in excavations in Sandarmokh
00:29:42in 1997. 7 years ago, he claimed that there could be
00:29:46no bodies of Red Army soldiers here, period. But after
00:29:50new search work and examinations were conducted,
00:29:53a completely different version is now being voiced, striking
00:29:56in its ignorance. Well, here
00:30:00they were shot in forty-fourth.
00:30:14I didn't shoot, and the Finns didn't shoot, and the Finns didn't shoot, yes, of course, that is, Red Army
00:30:18soldiers killed during the Great Patriotic War
00:30:21are not here, right, madam? I have no
00:30:24idea, I came here for a different purpose, please don't bother me.
00:30:28She didn't find the strength or perhaps the courage to come and
00:30:31bow to everyone who died in this place,
00:30:34and the head of the regional Yabloko party, Emilia
00:30:37Slabunova. It's understandable that for such people
00:30:41only one thing is important - to sing in unison.
00:30:43After wandering among the pines, enjoying
00:30:47the Karelian forest and fresh air, the foreign guests, who finally
00:30:50decided to film us, hurried to retreat.
00:30:54The others hurried after them. The chartered
00:30:57bus disappeared into the pine forest, the deed was done.
00:31:00Time to go home.
