00:01:07Today is the final day of elections. Russia is determining the composition of the State Duma
00:01:11plus regional and municipal levels. According to
00:01:14the Central Election Commission, voter turnout exceeded
00:01:1745%. The electronic voting format is available in
00:01:2033 regions, more than 6 million Russians have already voted
00:01:24online. According to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, almost 27
00:01:28people have cast their votes at polling stations abroad.
00:01:42Georgy, good morning, I will cast my vote right after the live broadcast, but for now
00:01:46I want to tell you that in Novosibirsk, the final day of voting is already
00:01:49in full swing, and I would like to note the variety
00:01:53of polling stations. For example, we are in a
00:01:56polling station located on the territory of the Meshalkino clinic, which is one of...
00:02:30a polling station was created
00:02:30here,
00:02:35and what else is important to note is that patients don't even have to come down
00:02:39here to the Polyclinic; they can cast their vote right in their wards, where
00:02:43election commission staff come, give them ballots
00:02:46and then collect them back, so that patients with limited mobility, for example,
00:02:50don't have to come
00:02:52here.
00:02:55I really liked it, I'm very glad that
00:02:59out of...
00:03:30a thousand polling stations, all of them are located
00:03:33in completely different organizations,
00:03:36precisely so that it is convenient for people to cast their vote, maybe
00:03:39someone is currently on a business trip somewhere, someone is currently at work
00:03:43at some stadium, and that's
00:03:46precisely why we currently have quite good turnout, especially if
00:03:50we talk about remote voting, which 82%
00:03:53of voters have already used. Georgy, I'm handing over to
00:03:56you. Yes, thanks for the voting process in the Novosibirsk region, if.
00:04:16Explosions rocked the Kiev region last night, in Boyarka, the warehouses of the Vensk factory, where
00:04:19weapons were stored, were hit, and additionally, hangars with military cargo in Konotop,
00:04:23Sumy region, and a bridge in the area of Kamyshevakha, Zaporizhzhia region, which
00:04:27was used. Air raid alerts were
00:04:30declared in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and other
00:04:34regions. I will note that Russian military exclusively target objects
00:04:38associated with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And, as previously stated by the Ministry of Defense, this is a response
00:04:41to terrorist attacks by Kyiv on our civilian
00:04:45infrastructure.
00:04:48In the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, where units of the "Sever" grouping
00:04:51are expanding the security zone of the Russian borders, the logistics
00:04:54of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been hit. The enemy's movement routes were detected by our reconnaissance
00:04:58drones, Orlan-10.
00:05:0010.
00:05:03In the Dobropol direction, units of the "Center" grouping are operating.
00:05:06Russian military are preparing to storm the powerful fortified area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
00:05:10The movement of ground robotic systems, which
00:05:13the enemy uses to deliver food and ammunition, was detected there.
00:05:17The equipment
00:05:17was eliminated.
00:05:21The North Atlantic Alliance is ready for a possible conflict on the eastern
00:05:25flank, stated the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee,
00:05:29Admiral Giuseppe Drago. At a press conference after the meeting
00:05:33in Copenhagen, he noted: "There are 400-page plans." He claims
00:05:36that it is exclusively about certain deterrence
00:05:39measures.
00:05:44The State Department and the US Embassy in the Middle East warned Americans
00:05:48about a possible increase in tension in the region. The day before, Saudi Arabia
00:05:51struck Yemen after the Houthis attacked Riyadh airport and
00:05:55oil facilities. Meanwhile, Iran sent a proposal to the US
00:05:59on how to stop hostilities on all
00:06:01fronts. Ruslan Sleptsov
00:06:04will continue the topic.
00:06:06Urgent warnings were published by American embassies in
00:06:10nine countries of the region at once. The list includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
00:06:14Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain. US citizens
00:06:17were notified that due to the ongoing conflict
00:06:20between Riyadh and the Ansar Allah movement. Houthi targets
00:06:24could include American diplomatic missions, as well as
00:06:27civilian airports and energy infrastructure.
00:06:31Tourists were urged to cancel their trips if possible. Against
00:06:34this backdrop, Donald Trump, after a meeting with the military at his
00:06:37residence in Camp David, cancelled all events scheduled for
00:06:41today and returned to the White
00:06:44House early. As I said last night, I was informed that
00:06:48the meeting with the President at Camp David was devoted
00:06:51to discussing and considering options for strikes on Yemen. Today
00:06:54the US Embassy in the Middle East, which will likely
00:06:58be targets of retaliatory strikes, issued
00:07:00a warning. Perhaps Saudi Arabia finally convinced
00:07:04Trump to join the military campaign against the Houthis. Before that,
00:07:08Riyadh had already made several attempts to persuade the American
00:07:12president, but apart from sending military advisors, he achieved
00:07:15nothing. The kingdoms of Syria, Egypt, and Britain refused to help,
00:07:19and even partners in the so-called Mican pact, Pakistan and
00:07:22Turkey, stayed on the sidelines, citing that the
00:07:26military alliance only acts in case of a direct invasion by the Ansar
00:07:30Allah movement into the territory of Saudi Arabia. Riyadh
00:07:33also sought mediation from Beijing for China to persuade
00:07:36Iran to moderate the Houthis' claims. And it seems that
00:07:40this actually worked. Tehran on Saturday evening... made a proposal
00:07:43to the US to cease hostilities on all fronts, including
00:07:46between the Saudis and the Ansar Allah movement. For
00:07:50the start of direct negotiations with Washington, Tehran put forward seven
00:07:53conditions, among them the lifting of the naval blockade and the unfreezing
00:07:57of Iranian assets. The international reaction is purely
00:08:00positive. The conflict, due to its economic and logistical
00:08:03consequences, has long since extended beyond the region.

00:08:44On his True Social page, he announced the creation
00:08:47of AI forces in the USA, comparing them to the Space
00:08:51Force, which he himself organized in 2019.
00:08:54He promised to name the head of this unit
00:08:57in the near future, and also expressed confidence that AI would account
00:09:01for up to a quarter of US GDP. However,
00:09:04Middle Eastern themes were present here too. Bloomberg
00:09:08agency learned that it was due to an AI error that
00:09:11on a school in Minab, Iran, which resulted in
00:09:15the deaths of 180 people, including children. The Pentagon, during
00:09:19preparations for bombings, used an intelligence
00:09:22platform from the company Palantir. It is designed
00:09:26for automatic object recognition from satellite images. Due to
00:09:30the large number of planned targets, American military
00:09:33analysts simply did not have enough time to verify and update
00:09:36the data. In addition, as CNN reported, due to
00:09:40a report written by artificial intelligence, Americans almost
00:09:43attacked a Chinese vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, thinking
00:09:47it was transporting components for Tehran's nuclear program.
00:09:50Ruslan Sleptsov,
00:09:52Vesti.
00:09:54In Germany, less than an hour remains until the start of the state elections in
00:09:58Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin. They could become
00:10:01a turning point for the ruling coalition and its leader Friedrich
00:10:04Merz. The CDU risks showing its worst result
00:10:08in history, and Merz could even lose the chancellor's
00:10:10chair.
00:10:55Shamanic ritual at the new bridge in Tuva, taiga all around, a summer
00:10:58cobalt sky. It's still warm during the day, but real
00:11:02autumn is already descending from the mountains. The weather will soon
00:11:05change, winds will blow, snowfalls and
00:11:07frosts will begin.
00:11:13Not only shamans participate in the ritual, but also builders, investors, authorities and
00:11:17local residents. Products from milk are placed in the sacrificial
00:11:20bonfire, as well as kurdyuk, many sweets and nuts. All this is
00:11:24loved. It is believed that shamans do not choose places
00:11:28for rituals by chance, and this place is one of them: the forest
00:11:31does not close in so thickly here, but nevertheless, it is clearly visible, as is the
00:11:35river and the bridge itself, above us is a blue
00:11:39sky. Shamans believe that by performing a ritual here, they will be able to
00:11:42invoke blessings from all spirits of the entire
00:11:45area. So that storm,
00:11:49rain, wind bypass the
00:11:53bridge, and the bridge served. and connected two banks, and not
00:11:57only two banks, but also the hearts of people. The banks were connected
00:12:00by Arial company, a bridge across the river Khamsara, a large tributary
00:12:04of the Great Yenisei, was built quickly in 8 months.
00:12:08The active phase started during
00:12:11the frosts, because it was very important for us
00:12:14to install the piles, to drill the wells, precisely during the cold
00:12:18season. The bridge consists of four spans,
00:12:21each 63 meters long. It was built by almost 200 people.
00:12:25Trucks are the first to test
00:12:27the new crossing.
00:12:33The investor is implementing not only industrial projects in the region, but
00:12:37also investing in the infrastructure of a remote area. In the
00:12:40Todzha district, almost 700 people live in six
00:12:44villages. The most remote is Irban, which is practically
00:12:47cut off from the other villages during the ice drift on the Khamsara
00:12:50River. In winter, yes, people
00:12:54are waiting for the ice to
00:12:57set, then they give
00:13:00the go-ahead, yes, when they arrive
00:13:03in summer by boat, it was also difficult.
00:13:07The ferry is still operating on the river, the crossing takes
00:13:105 minutes one way. Only a seasonal crossing always operated
00:13:14here; in winter, an ice crossing. To cross to the other bank, cars had
00:13:18to crawl right across the frozen Khamsara, and in summer,
00:13:21a ferry always operated. The length of the new bridge is 200...
00:13:2556 meters, the permitted speed on it is 50 km/h,
00:13:29this is much faster than on the ferry. This
00:13:32is a test launch of the structure, for some time we will still have
00:13:35to be content with the ferry, work on improving the new
00:13:39crossing is ahead, but soon the passage over the bridge will be
00:13:42open. Anton Pasokhin, Ama Kular, Buyansundui,

00:13:50Well, now the news coming to the summer news agency with reference to
00:13:53the Ministry of Defense in...
00:14:04and also there in Kyiv, a data center was hit,
00:14:07which provided data storage, including intelligence data, as well as
00:14:11the functioning of network equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We
00:14:15are following the developments, and we will return to this topic. Meanwhile,
00:14:19a joint Russian-Chinese enterprise began operating in Birabidzhan, producing
00:14:23Китая, выпускать.
00:14:55today, what is happening is that the promise has been kept. For us,
00:14:59this is a very significant example of cooperation, an example to
00:15:01follow, and I am confident that other regions will follow
00:15:05such an example of cooperation between the two countries. In addition, the opening
00:15:08of the enterprise proves that partnership ties are strengthening, and cooperation with
00:15:12China, which we have been deepening for many years, is bearing fruit, both
00:15:16in the cultural and social, and in the industrial spheres. The consequence
00:15:19of this is the development of trade; last year,
00:15:22mutual trade reached three.
00:15:40cars per year. Currently, it produces motorcycles, ATVs, and road
00:15:44equipment. For now, parts are delivered from China, and assembled
00:15:48at the enterprise in Birabidzhan. Next year, we want to build another
00:15:52metal processing workshop, then there will be full-cycle production
00:15:55here, and only engines will be brought from China. Another of
00:15:59the upcoming stages of the enterprise's development is the production
00:16:01of agricultural machinery. The products are manufactured to meet the needs of the residents
00:16:05of the Jewish Autonomous Region. We didn't have such
00:16:08equipment in this region, but we have already tested it, and as far as I
00:16:11understand, it has proven its high efficiency, which is
00:16:15why we are now starting to produce it
00:16:18here in the Jewish Autonomous Region. The implementation of the
00:16:21machine-building plant project contributes to the creation of new jobs
00:16:25and opportunities for development. Diana Skorik, Oleg Gritsenko, Vesti
00:29:44a diamond-cutting cluster is being created. Future specialists for this
00:29:48industry are being trained here in the republic. A report
00:29:51by Inna Udovkina
00:29:55on the skillful
00:29:55cutting of personnel and precious
00:30:00With a steady hand and a keen eye, transforms a transparent stone into
00:30:04a Yakutian diamond. Fourth-year student Lilia Kuznetsova
00:30:07continues a family tradition: her grandmother, mother, and sister
00:30:11work in the jewelry industry. The girl knows for sure that cutting
00:30:15is a whole art. We always
00:30:17control the angle, we always control
00:30:20the girdle, so that our stones are
00:30:23flawless. Each design for
00:30:26a stone is made individually, not only by us, but also by
00:30:30nature. In the laboratory at the base of the Physics
00:30:33and Technology Institute, future specialists in the diamond industry are trained.
00:30:37Students are taught not only cutting, but also the entire production process. Our
00:30:41students are future engineers of the grinding
00:30:43production, that is, they, during
00:30:47their studies, must know, first of all, of course,
00:30:50about diamonds from beginning to end. The goal
00:30:54is for them to learn to be people
00:30:57who understand this. The educational process is built on
00:31:01real production. With the support of Komdrak-Metal, the largest
00:31:04diamond producer in Yakutia. Everything necessary
00:31:08is available: modern machines, equipment, raw materials. In the hands
00:31:11of students is not just a training sample, they work with real
00:31:15diamonds, turning them into sparkling brilliants. In training,
00:31:18it is important not only to give the mineral many
00:31:22facets, but also to know it down to the smallest detail. But
00:31:25before proceeding to the cutting, the stone is carefully studied.
00:31:29We determine the habit of the diamond, this is
00:31:32the shape of the diamond, it turns out, our given
00:31:35diamond has an octahedron
00:31:38shape. In Yakutia, over
00:31:4190% of Russian diamonds are mined. Interest in this industry
00:31:45extends far beyond the region. Students from
00:31:48Cameroon are mastering the Yakutian school of diamond cutting; for them, this is an opportunity
00:31:52to gain unique experience and apply it in their
00:31:55homeland. I chose this direction because
00:31:59Yakutia is one of the leading regions in the diamond
00:32:01industry.
00:32:05The demand for such specialists will only grow. In Yakutia, by decree
00:32:09of the Russian president, a diamond-cutting cluster is being created. It
00:32:12will help develop the processing stones.
00:32:45in the profession. Inna Udovkina, Vasily Solovyov,

00:32:52Next, a special report by Anastasia Ovsyuk, about the work of the Front-line Creative
00:32:56Brigade in the special operation zone.
00:33:21There is no stage, no spotlights, no curtain, only
00:33:25music.
00:33:35Every day, artists come to a new unit, unpack equipment,
00:33:38tune instruments, short breaks to regain strength, and then back into
00:33:42battle.
00:34:21The artists walk through the wards, and then organize a general concert in the
00:34:25corridors. Many listeners cannot get out of bed
00:34:29after injuries. Even a few minutes of conversation are not
00:34:32easy for them.
00:34:39For artists, such performances are always a difficult conversation. Here,
00:34:43you don't just need to go out and perform a number,
00:34:45but to choose words that will help at least for a short time to distract from the
00:34:48pain. There were very seriously injured guys, and
00:34:51mothers were standing nearby, supporting
00:34:55their sons. They even allowed some mothers and
00:34:58wives to be right next to the cots, cot to cot,
00:35:01I was really at a loss how to start, how
00:35:04you won't start, "you are welcomed by," yes, like when you are at the training ground,
00:35:08when you are in dugouts, you see burning eyes, but here the guys are lying and don't
00:35:11know and are afraid. Friends, our front-line creative...
00:35:16For the fourth year, it has been traveling along the fronts of the special operation.
00:35:19The concert is hosted by Evgeny Pavlov, a professional actor, served in the
00:35:22Moscow Sovremennik Theater, starred in TV series. Here, he had to
00:35:26leave his big roles. Now his stage
00:35:29is a training ground, a hospital, a dugout. Almost every
00:35:33concert he starts the same way, with a smile and
00:35:36kind words. Well, yes, we will return with victory. Well,
00:35:39this must definitely instill in our guys, we need to talk about
00:35:43this, mother at home.
