biden and trump flew to the debate in atlanta 2 hours apart. from the airport both went straight to cnn studio. biden takes the podium first and waves to the non-existent audience. trump appears second. it becomes immediately clear how deep the differences between them are. both take their places behind the stands, without greetings, handshakes, or even looking at each other. the first question is about inflation. joe biden looks faded, speaks slowly, in a dull and hoarse voice, and accuses trump of leaving this behind. there was chaos in the country when they started talking about abortion, biden was the first to experience the new rules debate, he tried several times to accuse trump of lying, but the microphone, as his headquarters wanted, was turned off. the insults began 25 minutes into the debate. biden gives in to emotions and,

trump blamed biden for the migration crisis and drug addiction epidemic in the united states. by the end of the debate, it was already obvious that

biden was losing this battle, not only in meaning, but in form. the republican recalled that he passed two mental ability tests, but the current president refused. during debate about'. i just won two golf championships, and he would n't throw the ball at 50 meters. i'm in better shape than i was 20-25 years ago. biden delivered his final speech with his last breath; biden’s wife, jill, led him away from the podium. trump left the stage himself. will there be a second round of debates, who will take part in it from the democrats? now, perhaps, the main question of the american election race. now there is real panic in the democrats’ camp, because these debates, for some reason.

cars passing by, one of them could easily hit people, but passing women quickly came to the man’s rescue, after a short after a verbal altercation, the security forces had to let the victim go, but in ivanofrankovsk a little earlier, a similar story turned out completely differently: a man called for help for a long time, but passers-by at first walked by indifferently, the crowd began to gather only when the military had almost pushed the future conscript into the car. judging by the footage, eyewitnesses could no longer help. now, in the special operation zone in the zaporozhye region, russian intelligence officers opened a fortified area of ​​the ukrainian armed forces and then destroyed it. at the same time, our soldiers continued observations, and this helped achieve a new successes when reinforcements arrived to the enemy. report by our war correspondent igor pikhanov. scouts of the southern military district are moving forward on a combat mission. the unit is searching for enemy positions on orekhov. in the direction, ukrainian militants do not stop trying to occupy strategic points, our fighters

methodically identify and destroy fortified ukrainian armed forces. in the gray zone, fighters raise a drone into the sky, here you can only use prepared equipment with special firmware, otherwise the militants can detect our drone the copter surveys the area and locates the enemy's observation point. information with the coordinates of the target is transmitted to the fpv drone operator, and soon the dugout is destroyed with a precise strike. it fits, clings to the drone, takes off, searches for the target, already drops it, the package opens, fills, aligns the projectile, and it works accurately, hits the target exactly into the ground, a ukrainian pickup truck is approaching the destroyed dugout, perhaps this is reinforcement, according to the fire fighters, the anti-tank gun crew is working out , a guided projectile neutralizes the enemy, a special detachment appointments regularly use anti-tank systems, on their account... a sozhonny leopard and a lot of other military equipment in the ssu, both western and

soviet-made. active actions are being taken here both on our side and on the enemy’s side. recently , more than five strongholds and observation posts were recaptured, and crews of anti-tank guns, heavy grenades, and heavy heavy machine guns were destroyed there. as a result, we occupied a very large area. after completing the mission, the soldiers return to base. uav calculations constantly improve their technique. they are developing new types of systems for dropping projectiles and ways to increase their flight range. the centers for the production of weapons are located in close proximity to the line of combat contact. we s.

the reformist camp. more than thirty russian companies today decide to pay dividends. my colleague, dmitry moroka, will tell his shareholders how the current dividend season is going, he will join the broadcast. dmitry, hello, have there been any surprises yet? greetings, so far everything is expected, gazprom has taken a break in paying dividends, gazprom neft, sberbank, mts and others are paying. dividend season is in full swing. in that in the year, shareholders expect the most significant payments from the oil and gas industry, which traditionally provides half of all dividends on the market, as well as among the leaders are the metallurgy and financial sectors. but there are also exceptions. gazprom shareholders at the annual meeting on friday decided not to pay dividends based on the results of the twenty-third year. the decision was made based on a government directive received in may. at the same time, the head of the company , alexey miller, said that gazprom is now focused on large-scale investment projects with a long life cycle. gazprom neft shareholders approved final dividends of

almost 19.5 rubles per share. tat-neft will pay 25 rubles. 17 kopecks holders of their securities. the historical russian market is famous for dividend falls and this year will also not disappoint investors. the main sectors that pay dividends are the oil and gas sector, metallurgy, also banking, in particular sberbank, and the least dividends are the it sector and the electric power industry. the day before, the decision to pay dividends in the amount of 35 rubles per share was made mts shareholders, so the company will allocate 68.600 million rubles for these purposes. last week, the sbr rewarded the holders of its securities with record dividends in the amount of 752 billion. this is 50% of the company’s net profit, which in the twenty-third year reached one and a half trillion rubles. half of these funds are allocated to the state. last year, the federal budget received an income of 339 billion rubles from dividends from state-owned companies. excluding

sberbank funds, the controlling stake of which belongs to the national welfare fund. v the top five largest payers then entered. transneft, rosneft and gas, caspian corpse pipeline consortium, rushydro and alrosa. for companies with state participation , the general rule is that they allocate at least 50% of their profits to dividends. 50% is allocated to dividends, because the budget is interested in budget revenues. as you know, in our country dividends are the main source of budget replenishment, well, there is also privatization, maybe the sale of some land objects and so on, dividends are part of the budget, and i should just note that all state-owned companies are considered, probably with the exception of sberbank, because formally it belongs to the national wealth fund, but sberbank is the leader in paying dividends. the fesco group will not pay dividends based on the results of the twenty-third year, the same decision was made by rusal, to refuse

payments, which was previously recommended to its shareholders by the board of directors of aeroflot, st. petersburg exchange, mechel. pharmsintez uac decisions are usually made based on the company’s financial performance for the past year and forecasting future expenses, while some prefer to allocate funds to shareholders, others invest in production development and modernization. in a number of cases, let’s say gazpromneft or tat-neft, there is an increase in the payout ratio from net profit above 50%, that is, if previously 50% of net profit was paid, and... now the company pays 75, or even 100% net profit in the form of dividends, but this is probably connected with the need to fill either the regional... budget, or , accordingly, there in the case gazprom neft, there is a need to receive money from the parent company gazprom. experts

expect that the current dividend season may support the russian market in the future, because part of the payments received will be reinvested in securities. in may , private investors resumed active purchases of shares; they spent almost 12 billion rubles on this. the share of individuals in the total volume of transactions on the stock market now exceeds 75. at the same time , deposits have become another attractive instrument, taking into account the high key rate of the central bank. yes, dmitry, thank you. dmitry morocco spoke about dividends of russian companies. i work for a ready-to-eat food delivery service; the kitchen in the area was suspended for 90 days after mass poisoning of bean salads. the decision was made by the lublinsky court of moscow. the records of almost 190 patients were added to the criminal case. let me remind you that in june in the capital, people began to seek medical help en masse. united russia unanimously voted to
