as the head of state noted, the development of relations between moscow and hanoi contributes to security and stability in the asia-pacific region. let me add that the plenum of the central committee of the communist party of vietnam took place this morning, the decision was made unanimously. tolam became the third leader of the country after the founder of the kashimin republic, who... record rainfall also covered primorye, due to why a local emergency regime was introduced in the lazovsky district, where precipitation washed out a section of the highway and cut off several settlements from the outside world at once, and near the noisy village a powerful landslide descended onto the roadway. for the second day in a row, bad weather has raged in the northern capital; due to heavy rain , visibility has decreased significantly. leopards work at the limit of their capabilities, as a result the machines, like boats, cut through huge puddles. and over the gulf of finland, far from the coastline , a waterspout was noticed, and this is footage from moscow, a day for residents of the metropolis i

what makes historians doubt it, as we look at the stubbornness of the borough in hanoi, but at that moment, this was not a dirty trick to get hubert humphrey reelected as nixon thought it was, this is a legitimate peace proposal. along the way, nixon opened up a channel to south vietnam. at that time, the channel was used by someone who was telling south vietnam that you will get a better deal if you wait for nixon to get elected, and there is a set of notes in the nixon library by hr haldeman, in which nixon is recorded as saying that the name of the envoy was working on the south vietnamese. so i think that there is very little doubt of what happened. the only controversy was whether nixon personally knew and supervised it, and i believe that that note was a mini smoking gun. i think the things he did in watergate, working with the -- bugging the opposition headquarters, it was reprehensible but it was also american politics. but playing politics with what could have been as far as anybody knew, a legitimate peace deal from the soviet union that summer, i think that was the more despicab

as the head of state noted, the development of relations between moscow and hanoi contributes to security and stability in the asia-pacific region. let me add that the plenum of the central committee of the vietnamese communist party took place this in the morning, the decision was made unanimously. tulam became the third leader of the country. in action, pauline threw a table of ash to a four-kilometer height. the tourists were able to capture spectacular footage. it is noted that the current eruption does not pose a threat to people, and the plume stretching to the northeast lies far from air routes. and these are stills from st. petersburg. the northern capital is being flooded with rain for the second day in a row, with torrents pouring through pedestrian areas and highways. as a result, the cars cut through huge puddles like boats. the water has come even in the underground parking of a residential building. a waterspout was spotted over the gulf of finland. forecasters' forecasts are disappointing; tomorrow the city will again be in the grip of bad weather. that's it, the bridge has

on september 5 in hanoi, valery karpin's team will play vietnam, and on september 7 , the russians' opponent will be the national team of thailand. at the same time, as the rfu notes, both matches will count towards the fifa rating. the fifth round of the russian football championship was marked by the fact that the leading zenit missed the first goal in an away match against khimki, lost its first points and its top scorer maxim glushenkov. the home team's defender, the brazilian arinho, while kicking the ball out, hit the blue-white-blues' forward in the arm. it would seem like a routine episode, but alas, glushenkov was unable to continue the match and went for a medical examination, which revealed a fracture of the radius. 10 minutes after the start of the second half khimki forced zenit newcomer yevgeny latyshonko to capitulate for the first time in this championship. moreover, it was the new recruits of the moscow region club who did it. argentine lucas vera crossed the corner, panamanian defender edgaro forinya powerfully headed the ball without a chance for the goalkeeper. the curren

. - le duc tho, a member of the hanoi delegation at the paris peace talks, said today mr.the vice president's speech last night was clearly his most serious effort of the campaign to establish his own position on vietnam. - richard nixon played a very subtle political game on the vietnam war. he talked about peace with honor, but never articulated that plan. - when and if we win this election, i hope the war will be over, but if it is not over, then i think it's time for a new team to go in that will not be tied in to the frozen policies of the past. - now hubert humphrey was articulating something that many americans felt, but weren't hearing from richard nixon. - does this change your opinion of him as a presidential candidate? - it might. - why is that? - well, because everyone wants the bombing stopped. - when humphrey gave the salt lake city speech, it really alarmed me. all: we want humphrey! we want humphrey! - because he untied that party which had been ripped apart all year, and you could hear the footsteps behind you, where i was. - the anti-war activists, they s

the head of the republic to strengthen the comprehensive strategic partnership between moscow and hanoias expressed to continue joint constructive work in the interests of the peoples of the two states, in order to ensure security and stability in the asian and pacific region. on eliminating the consequences of helping victims. and the families of those killed in the collapse of two entrances of a residential building in nizhny tagil were reported to the president by telephone today by the governor of the sverdlovsk region, evgeny kuyvashev. today is a day of mourning in the city; flowers, candles, and soft toys are being brought to the spontaneous memorial. the search and rescue operation at the scene of the tragedy has been completed. after a gas explosion , 16 people were rescued from the rubble, 10 died. three victims were in serious condition. after the explosion, 25 apartments and their homes were destroyed. they are now in temporary accommodation centers. three entrances will be dismantled in the coming days. and the question of the possibility of restoring the remaining part of

five days before then-president trump met for a second time with north korean dictator kim jong-un in hanoi, a meeting some human rights activists feared would empower the north korean regime. was the intention of the operation to provoke kim jong-un? >> i didn't even know that that was happening. >> come on. >> again -- >> everybody knew that was happening. >> i mean, if you are a north korea watcher or -- >> you are a north korea watcher. >> i am not. i am not. i'm just a guy from l.a., you know? >> it seems like you would be aware of that, that this was in your orbit, that you cared what was going on. you're a smart guy. this -- the whole world is talking about these two leaders meeting. you didn't know that was going to happen? >> so, maybe i did. but none of what i am doing is motivated by anything political or anything bigger than the fact that i was asked to help these defectors defect. >> back in the u.s., adrian hong turned over computers and other digital data cheollima took from the north korean embassy to the fbi. christopher ahn says he also met with fbi agents at his apartment

situation for such important negotiations is happening: the americans are carrying out a bombing attack on hanoin vietnam, actually this bombing, it, ae almost became a stumbling block, because of the escalation of the conflict, where the ussr acted on the side of the viet cong, north vietnam. the us is striking them and could have disrupted everything, but again, what we have already talked about, the need for such negotiations, such a detente, which was sought in both washington and moscow, it was still higher than some situational conflicts, also no less significant, but still, and could not retreat anywhere, the negotiations took place, the visit took place, the usa in the ussr, if you do not count the arrival of franklin roosevelt at the yalta conference in forty-five. brezhnev did not go to meet nixon at vnukovo airport. this was done by podgorny and kasygin, however , the presidential couple and part of the american delegation were accommodated with the count in the kremlin. the visit. by us president nixon to the soviet union, it was a big breakthrough, after tension, after the aggravati

it was the united states and north vietnam at the time with hanoi. and he said there was no circular 180 there were no negotiations. this sort of informal talks. they became more formal during the nixon years in 68 saigon on an essential element to peace. obviously in vietnam was not even part of the talks and people missed that detail that somehow. saigon by staying out or withdrawing from the talks, they suggest that they had or committed something they were pulling back on because richard nixon in 68, they were not even part of the talks up to that point. the whole point was to establish the conditions that they would join the talks, which they did later, you know, under the nixon phase of the talks. so, again, you would you look at under a microscope, this whole story really begins to unravel quickly. and is this account is this confirmed by your sources on the south vietnamese side? who did you talk to on the south vietnamese side? so, boy, jim was the ambassador and he lived to be 90 something. he died a couple of years ago. and who huong duc k

they showed them the here transcripts of conversation they also sent to go to hanoi to brief them and brought the transcript with them to show vietnamese that they were betraying an ally in need. fidel castro showed up in moscow and they had a conversation. guess what? brezhnev again, about how he staunchly defended the north vietnamese against american imperialism. it is almost childish, but there it is you see the you know, you see a man who is fundamentally obsessed about his image and about his standing about his, you know, how others see him. and he the one level, you know, at one level, he really wants to reach out to nixon because he values relationship. on the other hand, he also has to kind of, you know, appease his various allies and clients and even domestic audience so that is how this policy works. it's not surprising. i mean, this is how life works. we all of us sort of do that, not maybe in this particular kind of context. but you can see the psychological that or the psychological motivations that underpin them, underpin this whole whole story so that that is the broad

yes, hanoi did not receive the most modern modifications of the aircraft, and the supplies themselves were small, but soviet instructors proposed a special tactic for using these machines. operating from ambushes, using their advantage in maneuverability, the mig-21 easily destroyed strike aircraft and even strategic bombers of the air force. usa. soviet aircraft quickly became a real nightmare for the americans. washington was never able to solve the mig problem until the very end of the war and actually lost its advantage in skies of vietnam. moreover, the us was forced to seriously limit its strikes on vietnam to avoid even greater losses of its aircraft. the americans already admitted that the tactics of using migs had outplayed them. the mig-21 became a formidable opponent of american troops in vietnam. it turned out to be more maneuverable than its main american competitor (the phantom, american pilots recalled that in any situation they would have relied on the mig-21. understand correctly, there are no, so to speak, analogies with... with the outcome i don't do it at all, i'm
