to repel the enemy, the region is not alone, everyone is helping it, including neighbors in the black earth region, not only in the black earth region, distant regions are ready to provide any assistance and heads of regions and territories, offer their services, are ready to provide blood, shelter for people, for children, first of all, one a group of children from kursk have already gone to orel and they are currently on holiday in a camp there, in addition, the federal centre is in constant contact, denis mantorov oversees the work of the executive bodies. local authorities are in constant contact with them, 1.8 billion rubles from the federal centre will be transferred here in the near future, this is necessary first of all to support people from the border area, from the sudzhansky district, they will receive certificates to move to new housing, it is known that the houses of many of them are now empty or even half-destroyed in as a result of these constant shellings of this conanada, in general the situation is under the control of the authorities, our fighters are really giving up now. this data is from the ministry of defense.

drone operators directed loitering lancet ammunition precisely at the enemy's armored vehicles. an american bradley infantry fighting vehicle, a cossack armored vehicle, as well as an armored personnel carrier and an infantry fighting vehicle were hit. all these targets were not in firing positions, which were discovered by scouts. the entire country responded to the event in the kursk region, without exaggeration. with its support expressed the belgorod region, where they also know what aggression is. from ukraine. many regions are ready to provide the necessary assistance: astrakhan, murmansk, tambov, nizhny novgorod, as well as crimea, chuvashes, adyghe, ingushetia. in the rostov region, volunteers are forming food packages, humanitarian aid is being collected in tatarstan

. specialists from the center of disaster medicine are traveling from the tver region to kursk . medical workers from st. petersburg will provide assistance. actions in support of the kursk region were held in sochi and krasnodar. thus, candles were lit in the cities. hides that the weapon used to kill our citizens was a terrorist act and no one was an american weapon, said russian ambassador to the united states anatoly antonov. the diplomat emphasized that no one in washington has yet condemned kiev's actions, even though the attacks on schools...

the united states has decided to distance itself from kiev's actions. the state department press secretary referred the question about the situation in the kursk region to representatives of the independent state, and he himself practiced vague formulations, insisting that ukraine had not announced its plans to hold a meeting in advance. sortie. ukraine itself decides how to conduct military operations, nothing has changed in our policy regarding permission to use the weapons we supply in strikes on russian military targets across the border. the un secretary general's office limited itself to generalities. the actions of the ukrainian armed forces were called an incident there and they were said

to increase the risk of escalation of the conflict. western military analysts are speaking in a more specific vein. they are sure that kiev took a big risk, having bad cards in its hands. operational. from a strategic point of view, this attack makes absolutely no sense, it looks like a gross waste of people and resources that are so badly needed elsewhere. given the pressure on defenses elsewhere, the strategic rationale for the operation is currently difficult to understand. other places that experts are talking about are primarily the toretskoye and pokrovskoe directions. according to them, kiev is probably trying to distract russian forces from this front line. however, in doing so, it achieves the exact opposite, stretching its already small. troops, while the russian army has sufficient reserves. this is happening at an extremely difficult time for kiev. they are under heavy pressure on the front line in the donbass near the city of pokrovsk, a key military hub for them. they are losing there slowly

but surely. there is also speculation that they are running out of manpower on that front line . ukrainian observers say what are you doing on russian territory if at the same time we are losing. rob lee, senior researcher an employee of the institute of foreign policy studies, notes that previous forays into russian territory did not have a significant impact on the course of military operations. in addition, russia has more forces and capabilities in this area, as well as better command and control. therefore, it is unlikely, the analyst summarizes, that the actions of the ukrainian armed forces will force russia to withdraw significant forces from other directions. ekaterina shamaeva, news. in the donetsk direction, a special military operation, fighters of the southern group of troops destroyed an american bradley armored vehicle. the attack drone crew discovered the equipment that was covering the ukrainian militant unit. the drone operators immobilized the vehicle with a precise strike. after that , the artillery crews finally

destroyed the vehicle and thus thwarted another attempt by the nationalists to rotate. it turns out that i flew about 8 km to the enemy's rear. and there i saw a bradley ifv, i reported to the command, and they told me not to work on it, i worked, immobilized it, then the artillery finished it off there, our cumulative shells are capable of penetrating... everything types of nato equipment armor, every day we hit enemy equipment and thus bring victory closer, in primorye today there is a storm warning again, rain again, in some areas the maximum flood level is expected, but in most rivers the water has already begun to recede, it is leaving household plots, the number of floods is decreasing, at the moment over 400 farms and 60 residential buildings remain under water, the most flooded are in krasnoarmeysk and...

iran, so claims the television company cnn. and according to their data, the islamic republic is still is developing countermeasures. and victoria koroleva has all the details. the unknown is frightening, for several days now the middle east region has been waiting for the promised response from iran and lebanese hezbollah to the assassination of the leader of the head of hamas ismail haniyeh with... every day new information appears about the date of a potential strike, but each time the forecasts

do not come true. meanwhile, as the cnn television channel claims, the shiite group hezbollah has made great progress in preparing to attack israel, regardless of iran's decisions. at the same time, tehran, the politician writes, may abandon a massive attack in the event of a ceasefire in the gaza strip. we are pursuing two goals at the same time: first, establishing a long-term ceasefire in the gaza strip and the withdrawal of all occupiers from its territory, and second, punishing the aggressor for the murder of haniye, in order to make the zionists regret that they chose such a path. washington still expects a tough reaction from tehran, and a ceasefire in the enclave depends solely on the new head of hamas, the state department believes. at the same time, the representative departments called for yahya sinwar to be put on trial for the october 7 attack. ultimately , it is sinwar who makes the decision, as was evident during the ceasefire negotiations. we believe that he should accept a deal

that clearly meets the interests of the palestinian people and, of course, the interests of israel. at the same time, sinwar must certainly be held accountable for his crimes. as the israeli military says, sinwar's election as the new chairman of the hamas politburo will inevitably give rise to new escalation, and the constant threats from hezbollah will cost lebanon dearly. the new title, he is now the head of the hamas politburo, this title is political, but it does not change the fact that he was involved in the planning and execution of the attack on october 7, this will only spur us on, we will make efforts to find sinwar and strike. in recent weeks, we have carried out very important operations, eliminating the most senior commanders of our enemies, and we will not stop, we will know how to carry out an attack anywhere in lebanon, in any place in gaza, anywhere in the middle east, above and below. tehran said the us wants to sow chaos in the region and that is why the states

are ready to help israel launch preventive strikes. while all islamic countries have condemned the terrorist attack by the israeli regime, the us and a number of european countries, on the contrary, continue to support israel, which shows that these countries do not want to see peace in the region and are trying to maintain instability in it. well, military experts urge not to trust information about how... islamic cooperation member countries called on the un security council to take responsibility for a complete end to the aggression. states against the population of the gaza strip. the minister was called on to take the necessary measures to prevent israel

from continuing its crimes against the palestinian people and to ensure the implementation of un resolutions. several thousand people took to the streets in anti-russian rallies across great britain. the demonstrators carried posters with the slogans "fashions in the united states, migrants, welcome." according to sky news, the marches were organized by muslim communities and left-wing political. inflation in russia has slowed down, tell us what the rate is? the rate is good, by the end of the week, tatyana, it has become zero. weekly inflation in russia as of august 5 slowed to zero, in annual terms the indicator remained in the region of 9%. rosstat will clarify it on friday. as the main reason for the zero weekly inflation,

the agency cites a drop in airfare prices by 7% at once. the bank of russia at its meeting on july 26. sent a hawkish signal, the regulator said that it would assess the feasibility further increase of the key rate at the next meetings. experts say that the priority of fighting inflation remains. staski, although high, remain moderate by russian standards, because for most of our post-soviet history, interest rates for inflation were much higher than the current figures, but on the other hand.

lower by 3 percent or more, this is the dynamics the ministry explained by the growth of production. in addition, buckwheat, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, apples have become cheaper, well, the main guys here are cucumbers, and in general all vegetables, here are the apples that showed a very modest result. phosagra's net profit in the first half of the year grew by almost 29% to 53.5 billion rubles. the company presented a report according to international standards. revenue exceeded 241,

support for the kiev regime, london is not going to yet. at the end of the issue about currencies, the dollar today costs 85 rubles 95 kopecks, the euro exchange rate is 93.84. and that's all for now. tatyana. konstantin, thank you,

my colleague konstantin shurikov was with the economic news. kursk doctors are preparing a military man for transportation. vgtrk correspondent evgeny podubny, his will be taken to moscow for treatment. our colleague and friend was wounded in an attack by a ukrainian drone. doctors at the kursk hospital did everything to save the life of a journalist. the foray by the ukrainian armed forces into the kursk region is a terrorist attack using american weapons. this was stated by the russian ambassador to the united states, anatoly antonov. the state department confirmed that the states did not limit the use of their weapons during this attack. hizwala may strike israel in the coming days regardless of iran, cnn reports, according to journalists, the islamic republic is still is developing countermeasures. in some areas of primorye, the flood peak is expected, but on most rivers, the water level has begun to recede. now , over 400 farms and sixty houses are flooded. nine villages are cut off from transport links. after yesterday's downpour, water is being pumped out of a street in vladivostok.

and now let's talk about sports. ilya, an indian athlete, was suspended from the olympic freestyle wrestling final, tell us why? the day before the final, vinesh phakat exceeded the possible maximum by 2 kg. she ran and skated all night before the last weigh-in on a bicycle, jumped rope, but still did not fit into the required weight, everything was decided by the extra 100 g. russian goalkeeper matvey safonov made his debut in the french psg, he entered the field in a friendly match of the parisians against the austrian storm and the debut. was not very successful, already in the fifteenth minute safonov missed the ball between his legs after a shot by striker amadi camara. before the end of the first half, he was unable to save the team one more time. from a goal. the gates of the austrian storm in this match were defended by another russian goalkeeper daniil khudyakov, who came from lokomotiv moscow. the twenty-year-old goalkeeper, like safonov, missed a couple of goals. the final

score of the match between psz and sturm was a 2:2 draw. russian canoeist zakhar petrov reached the semi-finals of the olympic games in paris. he took second place in the 1,000 m qualifying swim. this allowed the twenty-two-year-old athlete to qualify for the semi-finals directly. the decisive swims in the singles competition will take place tomorrow , august 9, and today petrov, paired with another russian, alexey karavashkov, will take participation in the semi-finals of the canoe doubles at a distance of 500 m. petrov, the world champion in doubles and fours under 23, and karavashkov is the most titled russian at the current olympics, he has nine gold medals at the european championships, five victories at the world championships, and bronze at the 2012 games in london. taiwanese boxer line, who previously failed the gender test, reached the final of the olympic games in paris in the weight category up to 57 kg. in the semi-finals, she

defeated her opponent from turkey, esruil dis, by unanimous decision of the judges. in the decisive fight, line will meet with yulia sheremetta from poland. in 2023, she was disqualified from the world championships because she failed a special gender test. the results showed that she. has an initial advantage over her rivals in women's competitions, the same test meets certain criteria for participation in 2023, the representative of algeria, iman khililif, failed, who, like iyutin, reached the final of the olympics in paris, but in the category up to 66 kg. at the same time, iyutin and khililif were allowed to participate in the games, since he could not recognize the international boxing association under the management of russian umar kremlev. when we all watched, probably, well, most of us watched the opening of the olympic games, then these transgenders in women's boxing were no longer a surprise, that is, when - it is not even clear what you can

call them there, these half-creatures took part in the opening of the olympic games, when it was a real outrage against the feelings of believers, and not only these are christians, in general, i think that in general, that is, then when transgenders came out to box. that is , in women's boxing, well, this is just, i think, that there was, let's say, a continuation of all these views, let's say, the destruction, probably, of some human values, which are now happening in this case at the olympic games. russian tennis player diana schneider won her first match after winning silver at the olympic games in paris. in the opening round of the tournament in toronto, she beat the representative of great britain harrie dart. the meeting was received. schneider needed three sets to win 6:3 3-6 7-6. in the decisive set, the russian was losing 5:6 when serving dart, but managed to make

a return break to win in the tiebreak. in the second round, schneider will meet magdalena french from poland. the first round of the canadian masters in montreal was successfully overcome by russian karyn khachanov in two sets, he defeated local tennis player gabriel diallo 64-64. in the next round, khachanov will meet italian mateo arnaldi. these are the most notable news in the sports world, at this minute. i am happy to pass the floor back. ilya, thank you, my colleague ilya kostin was with the sports news. and the price of gas in europe has updated its maximum in 8 months. in just one day, stock exchange quotes have grown by almost 20 dollars per thousand cubic meters. alona logvinova will tell you in detail about the reasons for such a rise in price. the price of... in europe has grown to a maximum since december of the previous year, futures on the ttf index, the largest in europe, a hub located in the netherlands, were at 417

dollars per thousand cubic meters on tuesday morning, and reached 435 dollars by evening. the main reason is concern about gas transit through ukraine, on tuesday and wednesday there were reports of fighting in sudzhansky district of kursk region. transit of blue fuel via the ukrainian gts continues only. through the sudzha station, this is part of the urengoy, pamary, uzhgorod main gas pipeline. gazprom announced that the company continues to supply russian gas via this artery. as of august 7, the volume of the application was 39,400 thousand cubic meters. on tuesday it was at the level of 42,400 thousand. since the beginning of the year , it has varied from 40 to 42 million cubic meters per day. it did not work at 100%. it passed about 15 billion meters of gas per year. every month. through this gas pipeline passes a little more billion cubic meters of gas, previously gas was received through this artery by the countries of central and eastern europe, these are slovenia, slovakia,

germany, even switzerland and italy, currently slovakia, slovenia, and austria receive gas through this artery. russian gas supplies have been going through ukraine in reduced volumes since may 2022. then the operator of the ukrainian gts announced the termination of transit through the sokhranovka station due to force majeure. the company cannot control the novopskov compressor station in the lpr. an application for pumping through this route. have been rejected now, while the russian gas holding sees no reason to stop pumping in the previous mode. previously, the volumes of pumping through ukraine were significantly greater, that is, about 40 billion cubic meters were pumped until 2022. in 2022, ukraine blocked one of the two gas pipelines, the southern route, where pumping was through the sokhranovka gas metering station. ukraine blocked the more southern one, simply for political

reasons, because part of the pipe there now passes through the territory of the lpr, while up to so far the southern route is not damaged, that is, it can technically be used. in june, the total receipts of liquefied natural gas into the european gts became minimal since november 2021, in july they decreased slightly more. the capacities of regasification and further gas injection into the eu pipelines are loaded only by 30%. europe since the nineteenth year, now if europe in the nineteenth year imported about 360. and all this affects the rate of economic development, or one can say on the rate of economic decline of europe, because that gas, as we already know, is not only a raw material for obtaining energy, it is a raw material for obtaining a huge amount of products, gas processing, including fertilizers. in the first 6 months of the year, the volume of gas transit from russia to europe along all routes amounted to

almost 15.5 billion cubic meters, an increase of more than a quarter. transit through ukraine in january-june increased by 11% and reached 7.700 million cubic meters of gas. but, despite the positive dynamics, the volume is below the contract level. at the end of this year , the agreement between gazprom and naftogaz on the transit of fuel from russia to europe via ukraine. as previously reported by the german newspaper handelсblad, the eu is negotiating how to extend supplies. one of... is the conclusion of a contract between gazprom-export and a european energy company, it will buy fuel on the border of russia and ukraine and then send it to eu countries.

people who serve in intelligence are not even physically strong, but simply stronger in spirit. the maroon beret is a symbol, then he wears it, i believe that there should be a model in everything, they should follow it stretch, it can't get any worse, it can get better, that was our motto in life, pushed these people into the doorway and... probably, this is all a dream, and you want to open your eyes and wake up.
