overturned umbrellas, only a small part of the total horror that st. petersburg faced, dozens of cars were damaged, it was not without victims, in the moskovsky district of the city a tree crushed a passer-by to death, the woman first went out to take out the trash, only by luck, the tragedy did not happen in... in the village a tree fell a few centimeters from two women. in the very center of the city on nevsky prospekt, the wind blew away scaffolding. on the outskirts of the city, a construction crane could not withstand the pressure of the elements. bad weather disrupted the schedule of trains connecting st. petersburg and its suburbs. we boarded trains from the baltic and vitebsky stations late. some trains stopped at intermediate stations, delays. reached 2 hours,

a thunderstorm regime was introduced at the airport in pulkovo, planes could not land and went to other airports. already by 7:00 in the evening it began to seem that the weather in the city began to improve, the sun came out in some places and the asphalt even dried out, but by nine the situation changed dramatically, the wind picked up again, and the sky was covered with clouds. city authorities urge st. petersburg residents not to go outside unless absolutely necessary. because the hurricane may continue until the morning of july 2nd. dmitry akimov, news from st. petersburg. the ukrainian army shelled belgorod, the belgorod region and shibekin. nine civilians were injured, including a child, the governor said. one house was completely destroyed, over twenty more were damaged, windows were broken, roofs and fence facades were cut. emergency services are working on the ground. army. russia successfully

repelled all attacks by the ukrainian armed forces. the west group liberated the village of stepovaya novoselovka in the kharkov region, and the center group cleared novopokrovskoe in the dpr from kiev militants. formation of zelensky in a day lost more than 2,000 soldiers and mercenary officers. eight armored vehicles were destroyed, as well as 26 gunships, self-propelled guns and missile systems, mostly western-made. the strike was carried out on ukrainian military aircraft at the airfield, as well as on storage areas. uncrewed boats. air defense systems shot down 72 combat drones, eight british storm shadow missiles and five french hammer guided bombs. well, in the meantime, the russian military received full access to the guidance unit of american atacoms missiles. he went to specialists after terrorist attacks in the control center against civilians in sevastopol. elizaveta khramtsova found out what information she managed to find out. unit of laser gyroscopes and gps. by the kiev regime

, the civilians of sevastopol were at the disposal of the russian military; footage in which the structure of the american missile is clearly visible is published by rionovosti. the agency's interlocutor said that russian weapons specialists are studying the atacoms guidance and flight correction system. we can, in principle, analyze the operation of rocket systems at the entire stage of the flight trajectory, then there is a correction base as far as. thanks to which satellites its correction is made. obviously, studying the parts of artillery missiles will help russian engineers improve the efficiency of air defense systems. this has already happened before, when our troops came into possession of significant fragments of the hymer missile system. you can also remember that missiles of the type fell into our hands.

from the crash site was removed and studied, which also affected countermeasures; the fact that kiev was receiving attacks from the american authorities publicly admitted only in april of this year, although back in october of the twenty-third, the wall street journal reported that the first batch of atacoms was delivered to ukraine. how many missiles did the us transfer to ukraine? the data is classified. we can only proceed from the total volume of missiles fired. manufacturer loket martin reported that about 400 units were produced over approximately 40 years. considering the fact that in the coming years the united states plans to decommission missiles of this type as obsolete, it is worth proceeding from the worst case scenario, that most of them will be transferred to the ssu and used against us. at 15 million dollars apiece, the enormous

cost of each missile forces the ukrainian army to fight its famous extravagance, however, it does not always work out, so in mid-april the new york times reported that kiev received 100 atacoms and immediately attacked the target with them. in crimea, that is, this happened even before reports appeared that washington allowed its wards to fire from american weapons deep into russia; due to the high cost of each missile, the owners of the ukrainian regime demand that they carefully select targets. mostly ours complex, air defense complexes, various places where equipment is accumulated, airfields, that is, quite sensitive and expensive objects, since you need to understand that the atakom missile itself is quite expensive. and that is , the us, naturally, will not allow the ukrainian armed forces to shoot at, let’s say, low-value targets. however, the participation of ukrainian armed forces employees in any attack in which an attack is used is rather nominal. ukrainians are not capable of using this kind of weapon on their own. of course, the goals for

they are selected by us intelligence and nato intelligence. they also determine the target designations for these missiles, that is, they control their use. that is, conversations. that ukraine itself decides something there, this is the usual fairly cheap camouflage. and the atakom missiles themselves and the multiple launch rocket systems from which they are launched are constantly included in reports in which the russian military reports on destroyed targets. and with the receipt of new data about the atacoms guidance system, it will be even easier for our country to shoot down these missiles. khrontsova, olga alvukhina, lead. the netherlands has issued permission to export 24 f-16 fighters. the first planes will soon arrive in ukraine, this is stated in an official letter that the dutch government sent to the lower house of parliament. other information about the supply of s-16 will not be disclosed at the request of kiev. the first military-social

center of the ministry of defense for participants of the special operation opened in moscow. he will work closely with the defenders of the fatherland foundation. any issues will be resolved promptly. details from margarita semenyuk. a fighter with the call sign baga at the front is one of the volunteers, in the artyomovsk direction he and his comrades stormed enemy positions, was wounded in battle, and is now in the military-social center of the ministry of defense. i came to consult about payments for a wound, at the end of may i was wounded by shrapnel in my left arm, so i want to know when the payments will be made. the new military-social center was opened by deputy minister of defense of russia annavelova, she tested the system.

security, click on your coupon, your coupon, where you need to look so that while waiting, here your coupon is pending, now we should be invited to a specialist from the main medical department, we can turn for help to... contract soldiers and conscripts, mobilized volunteers, military pensioners have been dismissed from the ranks of the russian armed forces. we are creating seamless interaction between active military personnel and those who are leaving the reserve, mobilized, leaving the perimeter of the ministry of defense, then it ends up in the defenders of the fatherland foundation, because to date the defenders of the fatherland foundation has received more than 1,400 requests requests for assistance, of which 70%. this concerns active military personnel specifically, and now a whole center has been created for this category, logistics to the centers have been thought out, and a one- stop-shop system. five halls were divided according to the topics of appeals, for example, social and housing issues, monetary allowances, treatment and rehabilitation, each appeal is comprehensively

studied, accordingly, our representatives go to the military medical organizations in which medical care was provided, certain documents were drawn up, that is we... cannot personally contact the military-social center, the relatives of the serviceman can apply by proxy, the power of attorney must either be notarized, or the power of attorney can be issued in a military unit certified by the commander. since the launch of the new center of the ministry of defense, over six hundred people have asked for help, these are military personnel and members of their families. citizens staying in volunteer formations, mainly on the issue of monetary pleasure,

damage payments, also social payments, on issues of alimony, they also write statements there, deductions, well, that is, of this kind, mainly monetary allowance, of course, yeah, well, wives also come by power of attorney about their husbands or mothers. there will be even more centers, points will be opened in all military districts, in addition, now the time for processing applications will be reduced, the main thing is not just to provide all defenders of their relatives with social support, but to take individual and comprehensive care of each one. margarita semenyuk, evgeniy turchak, konstantin mittin, olga belotserkovskaya. the world bank transferred russia to the category of countries with high incomes, estimating them at $14,250 per year. yes. the world

bank indicated that despite western sanctions, moscow has restored activity in trade, the financial sector and the construction industry. thus, the restrictions of the united states and the european union not only did not destroy russia, but, on the contrary, strengthened its economy. the finnish parliament approved access for the us military to fifteen bases in the country. the terms of the contract are greater.

the crowd shouted against the police and against the fact that the right bloc won in the first round, in the republic square they held all the flags in their hands except the french one, they remembered a teenager of algerian origin who a year ago died from a bullet in the suburbs of the capital. in lyon there was also a roar of firecrackers. about three hundred people rallied in caen, the left came out against the national unification and there were clouds of tear gas in marseilles, in nantes, upset in the president’s camp, macron went to abank, arrogantly took a risk and lost. i hoped that the disastrous results of the european elections will quickly be forgotten. the french electorate will be afraid of the growth of extreme right-wing sentiments in the country and will rally around a politician who has flitted around for 7 years and keeps promising. changes for the better, but his affairs were too much at odds with reality, so he had to resort to various

political technologies, the sudden dissolution of parliament, a rapid election campaign, intimidation of the french with a civil war if they did not vote for the presidential movement, all this did not work, on the way out in a fiasco, losing both right and left, third place lost relative majority in the national assembly with macron already finished, can anyone stop lepin for... six-year leader of france, sunday's first tourlament election was a personal humiliation, equally stunning , like his rise to the presidency 7 years ago, from newcomer outsiders. however, it is too early to draw such conclusions. macron does not give up, convenes two meetings at once after the announcement of the results of the first round and another one at noon today, again resorts to political technologies, the president, who so zealously urged everyone to vote against the right and against the left, ordered to study each electoral district and see. with whom it is now possible to form an alliance, prime minister ottal curtsied towards the left, announced that he was suspending the reform

to reduce unemployment benefits until the fall, and was withdrawing several dozen of his candidates from the second round. 60 candidates of the coalition together for the republic will be removed from the election race in the second round of parliamentary elections in france, to prevent the victory of the opposition party national rally. the lesson is that the far right is on the cusp of power. tonight is like no other. remove weak candidates in favor of allies. this strategy will be used in 300 constituencies where a political triangle has formed. we made it to the second round. three main rivals at once who did not receive 50% of the votes. the new popular front, an alliance of four left-wing parties, received 28% on the side in the first round, and called for everything to prevent the further victory of the right, this all includes any methods, up to an alliance with macron’s movement, which the leader of the unconquered france, jean-luc milanchon, called irresponsible.

the president's ardent opponent immediately extended his hand to him and also promised to withdraw his candidacies where the left came third. place, giving way to the presidential bloc. in all circumstances, our instructions remain simple, direct and clear, not one extra vote, not one extra seat for the national associations. the traditional scheme, a joint political barrier against the right, may not work this time. voting for the lepine program is no longer taboo in france, a historic change in the political landscape. the figaro newspaper provides a map if in the twelfth year. her party was in the lead in rare constituencies, mainly in the south of the country, then in the twenty-fourth year in almost every constituency of france and in some places its candidates gained more than 50% and were elected in the first round. judging by surveys conducted immediately after after the results are announced, in the second round the national union can gain an absolute majority of seats in parliament, especially given the support of the republicans.

one part of the party yesterday called for voting for jordan bardela, who proposes a broad coalition to everyone and publicly.

three horses from a special regiment escaped, they were frightened by a bus, they threw off the riders, one of the animals was hit by a car and was injured, the cavalrymen were not seriously injured, this is the second such incident in the uk in 2 months, and the british themselves are on social networks they write that this is very symbolic, against the background of the early parliamentary elections, inevitable defeat awaits the ruling party. anton dadykin will tell you who will knock tory out of the saddle. and vote for the liberal democrats! 3 days before the parliamentary elections, the leader of the liberal democrats, ed davey, risked his health for the sake of votes. after starzanka's jump , the fifty-eight-year-old politician was laid on the floor, much like the uk economy. the signal that i sent to the people, i ask them, many, many of them on thursday to do this,

something they've never done before, vote lib dem. look, i just did something i've never done before. it’s time for the leader of the currently ruling conservative party, rishi sunak , to take an example from the liberal democrats. opinion polls predict a landslide defeat for the tories. their main rival, labor, is likely to win more than half the seats in the house of commons and will be able to form a one-party government. things are so bad for tory that the last reserves have been used. former prime minister theresa may i have to personally go door to door and persuade people. my name is teresa. i'm here to support luke graham, the conservative candidate, if you're not at home i 'll put a leaflet on your door. but the british did not forget that these anti-russian sanctions led to a rapid rise in prices. they also remember the chaos of the pandemic, a series of corruption scandals, and the criminal flow of illegal immigrants has not yet stopped, so few people believe the conservatives; even the seemingly

win-win promise of a large-scale tax cut does not help. that's why tory's election videos mostly throwing mud at them. competitors, for example, a video dedicated to migrants, conservatives claim that labor will waste the red carpet for illegal immigrants right on the banks of the lomanche, the entire company of sunak’s party is built on a simple thesis: yes, we failed, but under labor it will be even worse. i know that you are disappointed in me, disappointed in our party. we didn't do everything right, we made mistakes. i hear your outrage, but when you go to the polls on thursday, remember, squeeze it out. almost nothing works better than at the beginning reign of tore. are the changes we propose possible? of course, we have the determination for this. in 5 years we will be able to look back and say: everything has gotten better.

public services are working as they should, the economy is working for everyone. opponents also accuse each other of having ties to russia. sunok said: the kremlin allegedly dreams of tory’s defeat because labor will cut defense spending, and therefore aid to ukraine. in response, the conservatives were called upon to start. account for huge amounts of money allegedly received from russian businessmen. nigel farage, leader of the reform uk party, also came under attack. judging by the polls, she will take away many votes from tore. farage's election rally at the weekend was disrupted by a portrait of vladimir putin, with nigel himself saying his opponents use lies all the time to smear the party. clinton said that our brexit campaign was allegedly financed by russia after.

the us supreme court has ruled that donald trump is partially immune from criminal prosecution, thereby imprisoning the republican former president. democrats are unlikely to be able to get rid of their competitor. well, they don’t know what to do with the catastrophic drop in the president’s ratings. after the disastrous debate with trump, 2/3 of americans believe that mental ability. bayda is not allowed to lead the country. dmitry melnikov about pre-election battles. hidden behind his wife, sister, children and grandchildren, joe biden is trying

to comprehend the scale of the disaster in which he found himself after the fiasco at the debate. at the camp david residence, the entire biden family awaits the results of the national surveys. it is the inner circle, and not biden himself, as he is assured, who, based on their results, will decide what joe will do next. members of joe biden's family have privately criticized his top advisers, blaming them for the president's debate failures and calling for biden to fire or demote people in his top political

leadership. biden's family wants the president to continue his campaign rather than end his career with a disastrous debate performance against trump, whom they all hate. ready for the campaign to save joe even the grandchildren get involved and lead the operation. first lady, however, as the new york times assures, the president’s son hunter, who is the first of the bidens to be the first of the bidens , may end up behind bars if papa joe does not remain president, is more active than others, not only for a pistol , drugs, but above all for corruption, and then the big guy, as biden sr. was called in correspondence, is just a stone's throw away. one of the people who most strongly urged biden not to give in to pressure and not refuse to participate in the election was his son hunter biden, who. the president has long sought advice, hunter biden wants americans to see his father as they know him, a bully, fact-based man, not the stumbling, aging

president americans saw thursday night. the fact that the personal interests of the biden family are behind the decision to nominate the feckless joe for a second term finally became clear last weekend, when, after the debate disaster , joe biden took first place in the rehabilitation campaign... “i understand the concern regarding the debate, biden said on saturday. i understand i didn't have the best evening. but biden's appearance the day after the debate failed to deceive americans. in such a state , it is impossible to be elected for a second term, according to the results of a survey conducted hot on the heels of the president’s mental health. i have never seen such bad numbers for a sitting president in my entire life, the numbers were already bad, but they got even

worse after the debate, and i don't see it any other way. supporting old man biden, competently asserts that it is not biden who suffers from dementia, but trump. my people are biden, kamala harris, and it's possible for joe biden to come out on stage to show that he has the endurance to do everything else. and, by the way, there are doctors who believe that trump has dementia, that his

logic, his thoughts are completely unrelated. biden, republicans are preparing for an even more fierce battle, believing that having lost a loud, but so far intermediate victory over the debate, the democrats will only intensify attacks on trump, and a verdict awaits him in new york. and several other criminal cases, including the storming of the capitol. the supreme court refused to recognize trump's full presidential immunity, but the destruction of illusions about biden's real condition has already... turned the entire election campaign upside down. do you know who else saw this? our opponents saw it, putin saw it, sidzenpin saw it, ayat allah saw it. we are in greater national security jeopardy today than we were before the debate because the commander in chief has shown that he is incapable of serving his country. because of david's high fences, the family bidenov, meanwhile, is trying to pretend

that nothing bad is happening. appeared on the cover of wok magazine with a long interview about the life of the first lady during the elections, and joe, who finds himself in the political minority , posts videos on social networks in support of sexual minorities. this monument remains a symbol of the legacy and leadership of the lgbt plus community, especially trans women of color. joe biden is expected to arrive at the white house this evening after an absence of almost two weeks; he has been sitting here for several days will serve as president. including taking part in celebrations on the occasion of us independence day, and whatever the family’s decision about further participation in the election race, the president will return here to the oval office as a rather battered lame duck. dmitry melnikov and pavel kostrikov, news from washington.
