ci harris is ahead of trump in the youth audience by nine points. this is 10 points more than last month, when biden led the list of candidates and trailed trump. in the two-way race , suv took place by 13 points in favor of garis. the current american president, joe biden, calls trump a real threat to us security. he stated this in an interview with cbs, which was released on sunday, august 11. this was his first interview after leaving the presidential race. joe biden recalled the events of 2021, when trump supporters stormed the capitol emphasized that such actions are evidence of a serious threat from the former president. he also believes that a second term of trump's presidency could undermine american democracy. if he wins this nomination, i mean this election, watch what happens, it's a danger. he poses a real danger to american security. biden explained that

he made the decision to withdraw from the race to protect democracy and unite the democratic party in the fight against trump's return to power, and he also admitted that that his age became a challenge in his election campaign. as for kamala garis, biden said that he is ready to help her, in particular, he will campaign for garis in key pennsylvania and other states. i'm going to campaign in other states as well, and i 'm going to ... do whatever kamala thinks is necessary to help the most. the american president also spoke positively about garis' decision to choose tim walz as his vice-presidential candidate. he's my type of person, he's genuine, he's smart. i have known him for several decades. i think it is great team pre-select. the race in

the united states is entering a decisive phase. presidential candidate donald trump's staff has already announced plans to hold three televised debates with democratic candidate kamela harris. however , the latter has not yet responded to the proposal of its main political rival. trump himself is also wasting no time and this week went on the air of one of the most popular social networks in the world x, the former twitter, where he had a live chat with the owner of this of the network itself, the famous american businessman, philanthropist and tycoon elon musk. the latter held a conversation that lasted about two hours in a frankly complimentary tone. ex-president donald trump himself did not hesitate to compliment musk.

kamela garis, in turn, actively enlists the support of american celebrities, in particular film actors, athletes and singers. in addition, in their election campaign, both candidates began to attack each other sharply. thus, the campaign headquarters of the republicans released a negative advertisement video against the main competitor garis. she is accused, in particular, of leftism, intentions to ban the use of small arms, as well as problems with illegal migration. in turn, kamela harris actively promotes in the media, as well as at political rallies, the thesis that trump is a criminal, and she, as a former prosecutor of the state of california , actively opposes this, and she says:

i know the type of donald trump very well. however, it is obvious that the most interesting thing is that this absentee duel can take place when both candidates agree between itself a place, as well as the rules of holding a televised duel, which can take place as early as september, at once on three central american television channels. ukraine's military successes in the kurdish region, unexpected for the whole world, force our allies to adjust their plans to the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. already this week, the american pentagon announced a new package of military aid. no less important was the visit of two american senators from the democratic republican party. this is a clear signal from the white administration home that there is a clear

bipartisan consensus in the us congress regarding support for ukraine. in addition, it should be noted that the topic of ukraine remains... one of the central ones in the discourse of the american election campaign. both candidates, donald trump and kamela harris , mention the war in ukraine almost every time. in the aforementioned interview that elon musk conducted with donald trump, the ex-president of the united states separately focused on the war in ukraine, accusing in his traditional manner of resolving it, no, not vladimir putin, but... joe biden, the latter, according to donald trump, did everything to force putin to attack ukraine. as trump himself sees this war, he promises to end it literally in one day, forcing zelensky and putin

to sit down at the negotiating table. however, even the closest associates of the former us president do not know how this can happen. on august 13, the white house said that iran could carry out a significant series of attacks on israel this week. this was reported by john, the coordinator of strategic communications of the national security council of the white house kirby. he also recalled that earlier iran and the lebanese terrorist group hezbollah promised to take revenge on israel for the murders of hamas political leader ismail hannia and... hezbollah commander fuad shukr. the statement came after media reports that israeli intelligence believes an iranian attack is likely in the coming days. more details about the aggravation of the situation in the middle east,

further in our story. iran may attack israel in the near future. according to updated information from israeli intelligence. communities iran is ready to attack israel for killing a hamas political leader in tehran, and is likely to do so within days, two sources familiar with the matter told aksios. a new intelligence assessment suggests the attack could come before hostage talks and a gaza cease-fire deal scheduled for thursday, potentially jeopardizing the talks in what israeli officials say is the moment . or never for a potential deal between israel and hamas. at the same time, the situation is still unstable. last week, israel intelligence believed that iran was still undecided on the timing and nature of its response, in part due to international pressure and internal debate. however, iran's mission to the united nations

said on august 9 that it hoped the response would be timely and conducted in a way that would not harm a potential ceasefire . defense minister of israel yuv galland on august 11. told american colleague lloyd austin that iran's military preparations indicated that iran was preparing for a large-scale attack. in the results of the call the pentagon said it ordered the ballistic missile submarine uss georgia to leave for the middle east and expedited the arrival of the aircraft carrier theodore roosevelt in the region. the biden administration has been gearing up for a dramatic week of high -stakes diplomacy to try to ... run for the region's bloodshed and secure hostages and a gas cease-fire agreement. next week's results will plunge the region deeper into crisis and the expansion of perpetual war. or if there is a significant rate change for the first time since october 7, the outcome could shape president biden's legacy.

the situation is also tense along the israeli-lebanese border. israel expects a blow from hezbollah, which has promised to take revenge for the recent killing by israel of the top commander fuad shukr. according to the washington post, during the 10 months of the cross-border conflict with israel, hezbollah launched so-called saturation attacks, testing gaps in israel's air defenses and introduced new weapons in response to the killing of senior commanders inside lebanon. hezbollah received a large batch of missiles and drones from iran, and now also began to produce its own weapons. in addition, the group has anti-aircraft defenses, which most proxy groups do not have. the group's arsenal includes guided and unguided missiles, anti-tank artillery, ballistic and anti-ship missiles, as well as drones loaded with explosives that can reach far into israeli territory. analysts estimate that hezbollah has between 130,000 and 150,000 rockets, more than four times

what its ally hamas was thought to have stockpiled before the gaza war. and the lebanese group says the command is over 100,000 strong, double the high -end estimate of hamas's... military fighting force. the vast majority of hezbollah's weapons arsenal consists of low-grade munitions that could threaten israel's air defense systems if unleashed. in large quantities. of even greater concern to israel are the precision munitions the group says it possesses. hezbollah keeps its arsenal a tight secret, leaving weapons experts to guess the full extent of its capabilities. much of what publicly known, comes from statements by the group and its leader, hassan nasrallah, who says his fighters have only used some of our weapons in escalating attacks northward since... oct. 8. this program was conducted for you by me, major

of the armed forces of ukraine, taras berozovyts. thank you for being with us, thank you for watching, together to victory and glory to ukraine. friends, congratulations, for the next 30 minutes we will talk about what happened last week in the world of culture, we will start with what is being discussed in the world and is being discussed in... in ukraine, because it is important for us, of course, to be in always in the context of world culture, and so

it is, because in ukraine the new season of the super popular series emily in paris is being discussed in full swing, which is a netflix series that is very popular and at the same time exposed to criticism from the very first season, in particular, it was criticized in the second season is very strong for ukraine, i will remind you in just a few minutes. why, because there was such an uproar that it reached the minister of culture and information policy oleksandr tkechenko, but what kind of series is this? the series, which is characterized by absolute meaninglessness, as to me, as many viewers and critics think, but takes its bright picture with clothes, and that's actually what's interesting about it, because it's been four seasons, millions of viewers around the world, but if we... start talking about the plot itself, then it turns out that there is nothing particularly interesting there, because

the main character from america comes to france to work as a marketer, and here she has relationships with colleagues and relationships with boys, she ends up in a love triangle, and many critics again note that between the performer is the main one the role and her... different boyfriends have no chemistry at all, that is , the actors are so chosen that this interaction does not happen on the screen, and this is usually very important, we know cases in the history of cinema, even when really cool actors were not approved for some kind of role, because the producers did not see this kind of chemistry with the partner , for example, it was with 50 shades of gray, there were a lot of great actors, men. but they were not taken, because they were not suitable for this very factor. here, if we talk about emelie in

paris, there is no sense at all. the script , too, seems to me to be very, very undemanding, moreover, there are a lot of so-called bottlenecks, when we understand that some actions take place not because there is some at least such a tiny logic, but because that it is simply necessary according to the script, the main character must be. resigned or vice versa, to be taken back to work, and it somehow happens, no one particularly, forgive me, bothers to make it all logical, and we still, you know, often we complain about ukrainian tv series, that they are illogical, here, please, is the world trend and the same problems, but everything is solved, in particular, firstly, costumes, and secondly, very attractive, aesthetic streets, houses and interiors in couples it's all so beautiful, the authors are so focused on this

factor that a large part of the audience, and the audience is not only girls, not only women, but also men, just look at all this beauty and it doesn't matter what happens there in the plot, we just look at something beautiful, bright and in this way we rest let's watch an excerpt from this series. i promised myself to be open to any possibility. it is very gratifying that in the context of all this beauty, in the fourth season, there is also a ukrainian contribution, because we can see, the first viewers, i think have already seen, by the way, according to the tradition of recent years, the series was divided into two

parts, so that more there was intrigue, but there is in... in this series, first of all, the dress is bright enough with such a blue big flower , a blue dress, and it is a dress from a brand jaman, and you can immediately recognize her, she is already in many different photos there, this is such a mini mini dress with a huge flower, this is one time, and secondly, i think that all connoisseurs of ruslan baginskyi, our designer... hats, already they recognized his famous hats, i just admire how he works specifically in marketing, about this marketing direction, we see several hats from ruslan baginsky at once, you can, maybe some of our viewers even have these hats, they are terribly expensive , but they are made qualitatively, and they are recognizable, not

only because ruslan puts very huge logos, which i don't really like. his letters are so huge, but his hats are recognizable enough, and he tries to promote them precisely through the stars of show business, through tv series, through this and this sphere of entertainment, he has me in kyiv, not outside the borders of ukraine, and we also saw his hats, on beyonce's tour, these were huge, mirrored hats . in which she performed, and these were very recognizable hats, and more there are many moments when we saw photos, when madonna, for example, was wearing a hat by ruslan baginsky and so on and so forth, this is a very cool move, and it seems to me that baginsky's brand is one of the most recognizable truly global brands , but

the following is very important to note here: every time we see a world celebrity. in clothes from ukrainian brands, this happens quite often, and it happens as if at some iconic events, for example, there are engagements or weddings, or the shooting of a music video, or a photo shoot, or just going out somewhere to a party, some star, photographed by photographers, we often see in the news, even that such and such a celebrity appeared in a dress from a ukrainian brand, that's all cool, of course , but... but it is necessary to understand that not always, and it seems to me, almost never, the interpretation is the motivation to wear this or that, this or that outfit from ukrainian designers, this is not no no no the motivation that let's support ukraine, we are for we are rooting for ukraine, something like that happened, you know, the same jennifer lopis v

she appeared in a clip in a ukrainian dress, and then she did a photo shoot in... a dress of a russian brand, that is, it's just an aesthetic choice, people like a dress by some ukrainian designers or some accessory, and they take it to work for a shoot or wear it, and from one on the one hand, the fact that it is not a support for ukraine may disappoint someone, but on the other hand, it is an indicator that the clothes or accessories of ukrainian brands are absolutely competitive. the world market and they are chosen simply because they are cool, simply because they like them, and there is no such thing as, well, we will wear this hat just to support ukraine, no, these hats are worn because they are liked, and i think that even this is the most important thing, that is, that our manufacturers clothes or accessories can hold off such huge competition at

this level, that's a great indicator and so... we're always happy to talk about these facts, but let's move on to emelie in paris, and very much if we think back to the first season of this series, which released in 2020, then we can recall a lot of indignation from the french, for example, because, let me remind you, the series was filmed in france, in paris, and it is actually built on stereotypes, i don't know, the producers say, the authors say that they played it like that. these stereotypes, but many people somehow did not understand such cheating, because the french there are necessarily snobs who refuse to speak any language except. french, although they know english there, but they deliberately do not speak it, and who do not treat foreigners very well, who despise people who are not as aesthetically attractive as them and everything

else, americans, in the image of our main character, are depicted as very simple, even primitive, but hardworking people who love their work, know how to sell, which is what the main character does heroine, but they. they are a little bit culturally undeveloped, let's say, and the americans are also a little bit, they didn't like it a little bit, there are also images of homosexuals that are also quite caricatured, usually mannered, which they also tried to portray stereotypically before, so that's how we see them in this series, and also we... we can remember the case that we discussed in ukraine, because in the second season such a small

character appeared there, or rather she took up a lot of screen time, but it was enough for us to be outraged, like the americans and the french, because this heroine's name was petra, first of all, some non-ukrainian name, and i can explain why she is petra, because very often an american... because the producers of the series are americans, they don't care about eastern europe, poland, russia, whatever the czech republic and ukraine. and now we see this naked heroine petra, she is as unattractive as possible, she is the most unattractive, and what's more, she steals things from stores and wants to teach the same to our main character, the main character, realizing that this is somehow not very good for her . her friend is trying to gradually distance herself from her, there were a lot of conversations in ukraine that if the series is based on stereotypes, and if

the heroes there are not just heroes with their own characters, but representatives of the nation, this is the concept of the series, well, if the french are so stereotypical snobbish, then ukrainians turn out to be very, well, let's put it this way, not unclean on the hand, here again it is tied. the issue of corruption, which is constantly talked about and talked about and greatly exaggerated, and then, in addition to the public discussion itself, an interesting case also happened, because the then minister of culture and information policy oleksandr tkachenko was also terribly indignant at this heroine, and he even rolled a letter in netflix seems to be watching, how can you insult our entire nation here, and i'm already laughing, so that... oleksandr tkachenko, as a media manager who managed the 1+1 channel, during his time there, quite a lot of

serials appeared on this channel, which also used this unattractive, exceptionally rural, some very archaic and funny image of ukrainians, it 's called pateshnye khakhly, as the russians love this... image to speculate on it even during the soviet union and then in russia, even now. we see such series on ukrainian television, as well as on other different channels, we often had comedies like this, this once near poltava, there was a tv series on the ted channel, also from the holding company, pros, and there must be such a ukrainian, he must be in an embroidered jacket, he must be like this, he must be so fat, and he is not very, not very very smart cunning. well, everything, as we like, and it was all on ukrainian tv channels, and people who have not yet had time to understand that after

the full-scale invasion of us, society has changed a little, and the countries have changed, and these are already such images of ukrainians, thank god, oh well they are not well tolerated by the public, but they still sometimes continue to sneak up on us on television, we talked more than once on our broadcasts about... the 95th quarter, about the diesel show, all this continues there, but it seems to me that at least i i want to hope that it will go away one day, thank god, and i also want to say about the bridgertons, remind you about this series, and you can outline a certain trend that exists in the production of world series, well , at least on netflix, that's for sure , because they have two such hits, these are emily in paris and the bridgertons, of which there are many already. various and site projects are told in this series about britain, about the royal family and the pro-aristocracy,

there were many conversations about this series at the beginning. when the first season was launched, because there were a lot of non-european, i don't know, actors, not of european appearance, but of indian descent, of african descent, an actress of african descent playing the queen, and there were also discussions about what, oh my, that well, it's a historical lie, but now it seems that everyone has calmed down, because it's more or less clear it turned out that this concept is also similar, that is, there are many films and tv series. about the british aristocracy, where everyone hurts, a historical truth, just duh, a very true truth, but they made a tv series like this, well, that is, it is a deliberate historical lie, but the tv series is extremely popular and it is similar to the tv series emily in paris, because there also a completely meaningless plot, something like that happens there, firstly, it is completely predictable, and secondly, there you also don't

often meet real chemistry between. characters, that is, you are looking at some a love story, it should touch you, but you understand that you do not believe these actors, and because there is simply nothing between them physically, they do not even obviously like each other, but we watch because the series is beautiful, that is, we draw a conclusion , that in principle, for a hit, for a serial or for a movie hit, sometimes something completely different is enough than what was usually the case. and it is customary to think that the audience needs, no, often the audience just needs a beautiful picture with all the components, from costumes, hairstyles to scenery, and this is enough for for the series to become a hit, and of course, a good marketing campaign and all, let's watch then and listen to an excerpt from such a small little program, where in particular designers, game makers, costumers told

how they work for that. every dress has to be tried on three or four times while it's being created, which is why we put so much love and passion into each costume. and the bridgerton team works with hair and makeup designer erika. when you're creating hair or makeup for any character, it's always a good idea to start with inspection of their costumes. next, we consult with the art department about the desired colors, even if it is a matte. we consider. on the scenery and the rest, and i want to tell you that it works with ukrainian series as well, unfortunately, we have very few series that can boast of a good budget, and we usually have everything very cheap, and accordingly, almost nowhere on television you you won't find tv series that have some cool dresses, that

have bright images, interesting in... their interiors, so that it's all filmed, no, everything is as possible gray and economical, but still we have costume drama series, and we can recall the super success of the series fortress of sleep, this is of course such a story that you can also argue a lot about, because this series was produced, i think, first of all for the russian market, because there the main character spoke mainly russian and one and... the other were russian women, russian actresses, but there was already, firstly, before the full-scale invasion, it was a total story, and secondly , in this series at least, although it beats there was a little ukrainian language, and they told where exactly it was happening, it seems that it all happened in nizhyn, and then it all happened in kyiv, that is, at least there it was clear that it was ukraine, because in other series it was not at all clear where actions are taking place, but there was, you know,

everything... the aristocracy spoke russian, although this was not the case, in our country the aristocracy also spoke ukrainian, we can even remember the family of lesya ukrainka there, but they were serfs, all serfs spoke ukrainian and that, you know, a little like with the russian version, with so gogol, in a gogol style, but less so, and the audience liked to look at the cool costumes that were there, at the fact that there were also... the interiors are so interesting that the series was a huge success and in particular in different countries in poland it was just a super hit, you see, in our part of the world we really lack such costume dramas, also the second season of the kava z cardamon tv series is also being shot now , also such a costume drama and it is also a success, everything is already in ukrainian there.
