russia competed with the advanced countries of the world; peter i’s contemporaries could hardly imagine that a small, purely practical newspaper, vedomosti, which did not even have outlined margins, would mark the beginning of great russian journalism. it is important to know history, especially the history of your country, because it is now being rewritten, reinterpreted in your own way, understood perfectly. that the one who controls the past controls the future, so we watch, we learn, we remember. news on channel one. hello, news on channel one, andrey ukharev is with you. today at night the united states and britain attacked yemen. massir. the missile strike reportedly

targeted houthi targets. in washington they said that they had been warning for a long time that the shelling was a response to an attack in the red sea; in london the attack was generally called self-defense. there, as you know, their standards change depending on the situation and their own needs. however, there are serious doubts that the result will be exactly what the west wants. the houthi leadership has already declared its readiness to fight to the bitter end, announcing attacks on american bases, baghdad was attacked. usa. grigory emelyanov follows the news. the fact that the war would begin in the coming hours became clear already around midnight. british prime minister ri shunok gave the green light to strike yemen. the center of this team, joe biden, chose to strike first, without even receiving the approval of congress, and announce it later. today, at my direction, the us military, together with the united kingdom and with the support of australia, bahrain, canada and the netherlands. successfully struck a number of

facilities in yemen that the houthi rebels have used to threaten freedom of navigation along one of the world's most important waterways. the strikes hit targets in five cities of yemen at once, the capital sana'a and its international airport, nearby the houthi military base, the important port of hadeidah, damar, saada taiz - this is the response of the united states and its allies to the attempt of the houthis, who are very successful in dictating their rules in the field of shipping in red . sea. in recent months, the houthis have carried out a series of dangerous and destabilizing ship attacks in the red sea, threatening a vital trade route. this led to rising prices. reckless actions endanger lives at sea and worsen the humanitarian crisis in yemen. it’s just worth remembering that houthi attacks on tankers and bulk carriers do not exist in a vacuum. in fact, the houthis specifically attacked ships carrying cargo to israel. this is their response to the operation in the gas sector, which the entire arab world considers barbaric. and these attacks

have already led to a worldwide rise in prices, because almost a fifth of the world's cargo, this is the shortest route from the indian ocean to the mediterranean and atlantic. the yemeni leadership understood perfectly well that the strikes were inevitable and mobilization had been announced the day before. of course, the houthis have nothing to repel massive attacks from the air with more than 100 cruise missiles in the first wave, air defense is practically zero, so wait out the raids, snap back with their missiles and drones, and disrupt logistics.

recently in the process of the yemen settlement, as well as provoke destabilization of the situation throughout the region tive trends that have emerged in the middle east. iran has already brought its armed forces to combat readiness. the houthis and their allies should, in theory, be opponents of all iran’s opponents, primarily the saudis, but it seems not this time. us secretary of state blinken, who rushed around the middle east, was unable to persuade local leaders to join the us team. together with america. of the arab countries, only bahrain agreed to bomb those fighting against israel. but saudi arabia, for example, remembers very well how it 6 years, from 2015 to 21, i even tried to solve something in yemen by bombing, that same military base, the boys, for example, they announced several times, was destroyed. in response, erriad received truly painful houthi drone attacks on its oil plants. so the united states is waiting for answers. air defenses have been brought to full combat readiness throughout the region. there are enough american bases there, but

this coin has a downside. the houthis can choose any object to attack and deliver an unpredictable strike. their missiles are dangerous. the range of action of the longest-range ones covers the entire arabian half-year security on the red sea. the united states and its allies , when they proposed to amend the resolution , rejected the amendments. as a result, russia and china abstained from voting. tonight there is a new meeting convened at the request of our country. grigory emelyanov, alexey klyuchnikov and vladimir. first channel. exchanges immediately responded to the events around yemen. oil prices rushed up. the cost of brand immediately increased by 2.5% and is approaching $79.5 per barrel. wti crude oil is currently trading at around 74

dollars. bloomberg cites concerns about further escalation of the conflict as the main reason for the agency. according to experts, if iran is involved in it, production and... congratulations today are accepted by those whose calling is to uphold the law and protect the rights and freedoms of citizens. in russia they celebrate the day of the prosecutor's office. vladimir putin congratulated department employees and veterans on their professional holiday. the president noted the successes of prosecutors in the fight against corruption, crime and called for increasing efforts in the confrontation. crime, extremism and misappropriation of the budget, it is especially important in the context of sanctions to monitor how legislation in the economic sphere is observed, the work of prosecutors is always noticeable, behind your every decision, presentation or protest, warning or verification

material, rights are restored and, what is extremely important, people's faith in the triumph of law and justice, this year our citizens expect from... equally active offensive work, as before, among the priority tasks - identifying the elimination of violations of the social labor rights of citizens, monitoring the strict observance of legal rights, payments and benefits for participants in a special military operation and their families. and, of course, i will note such a key area as ensuring the country’s interests in the field of defense and security and assistance in achieving goals. special military operation in the clear and timely execution of state defense order tasks. i would like to draw attention to such areas of your work as supervisory support for the implementation of national projects, social programs, as well as the rule of law during the upcoming

russian presidential elections this year. more than 1,800 thousand signatures have already been collected in support of vladimir putin’s self-promotion as a candidate for the presidency of russia. this was reported at his campaign headquarters. signature sheets had previously been received from all 89 regions, and although the number of signatures is already several times higher than required for registration in the cycle, their collection in the country continues. let me remind you that the upcoming presidential elections will be three days for the first time, voting will be possible starting march 15, main day is the seventeenth. now about how the special operation is going, tonight our army attacked enemy military targets in the kharkov region, there is a confirmed arrival in the area. bogaduhovo, western equipment is being accumulated there before being sent to the front. and about the situation on the front line. russian aviation and artillery destroyed two control posts, an ammunition depot and a counter-battery counter station in the krasnolimansk direction. enemy losses per day amounted to up to 160

militants, as well as an armored vehicle and several mortars. in the donetsk direction , our aviation successfully worked against enemy positions; in action, su-25 attack aircraft attacked, as usual, in pairs at low altitude. washington is stopping arms supplies to kiev and that aid to ukraine has been stopped , white house spokesman john kirby announced. the statement came shortly after the pentagon admitted that it has not yet been possible to track where more than a billion dollars worth of weapons already transferred to the kiev regime went. the question is how they are used, in whose pockets they end up american money for ukraine was one of the main questions asked in congress. ultimately, legislators gave up. is there any news about military aid to ukraine, is the entire supply really used up. we issued the last batch of available stock that we had funding to support. it is critical that congress act on

national security requests so that we receive continued funding. the assistance we provided is currently suspended. everything in the states. in in california, hunter biden appeared before a judge for the first time, accused of tax evasion. he may go down in history as the first.

i didn’t pay extra, in some cases i didn’t pay at all. false declarations, in which there was not a hint of financial well-being, contrasted with a luxurious lifestyle. hunter acted like a rock star, but is his song sung now? here opinions differ. this is a very good trial for hunter, amazing jury selection, he couldn't have picked a better trial location himself. because california is an ultra-liberal state, true, no one came to support hunter, but only one person, the organizer of the event, showed up at the rally against the bidens. if a democrat has the right policies, i will support him, even though he is a democrat. the problem is that these people are selling america to foreign organizations, other countries are buying influence in our country. which countries do you mean ukraine and china? hunter himself declared his complete innocence during a short hearing. and even though in california, at his place of registration, he may have walls they help, but the judge is a trump

appointee. the judge in charge of this case has already imprisoned people in similar situations, when they refused to pay approximately the same amount of money, and put them behind bars for 2 years. the meeting lasted only half an hour. biden jr. was released under the following conditions: he must get a job, stop using drugs and alcohol, and regularly take tests, otherwise he will be detained, the latter is already required. ran away from the meeting. sorry, hunter, apparently you are afraid of my words. i talked about joe biden's impeachment on his first day presidency, because the evidence was

already there, and it was obvious evidence: we cannot have a president who is selling america so that his family gets rich. only jill biden has come out in defense of hunter so far. the first lady said she considered him a victim of political persecution. i think what they don't do to hunter is cruel, and i'm really proud of how hunter turned his life around. we must, we must win, we cannot lose our democracy. the same speeches were heard in new york, where donald trump delivered his closing remarks before the court. our case against donald trump is one of systematic, brazen fraud. this case never had anything to do with politics. the former president is accused of inflating the value of his assets in order to obtain more profitable loans. giving the floor to trump, the judge demanded the utmost specificity and without attacks, but trump remained. i am confident in myself, everything was fine with the banks, the bankers were very

happy that they gave us loans, they were big loans, without any problems, this the attorney general hates donald trump and wants to run for governor or at least be re-elected to the position of attorney general, i think a criminal case should be filed against her. the judge plans to announce the decision in the trump case by the end of january; as for hunter, the active phase of the process will begin. june 20, the denouement in this story, seems to come right before the elections, which are already becoming overgrown with new scandalous episodes long before the voting. vyacheslav arkhipov, natalya moshtakova, channel one usa. and in ukraine, where biden’s son also left a fair legacy, the loud corruption scandal surrounding the burisma business company continued. former verkhovna rada deputy andriy derkach assures that the court received a bribe for its closure 6.

he is the main witness. blinkin said: if you do not resolve the issue with derkach, we will resolve the issue with derkach with our partners. those who were at the meeting were impressed, because the secretary of state had a rather harsh position. the task for the president of ukraine is to resolve the issue with the derkach. naturally, i they came, told this story, they said, they will not treat you according to the law, urgently resolve the issue of your safety. if the secretary of state of the united states threatens you for a minute to resolve your issue in an illegal way, naturally, you take action. if the witness of this conversation, there

are a sufficient number of them, is meant.
