about a given chrisy. so issue as always is there a correspondence? that's what we strive to do the venezuela goes to the polls present because me during the sizes is toughest challenges from the united opposition. determined to ends is live in d as in power. the mental mccrae this is there a line from job house, so it coming up as role valves revenge for the 12 killed and attacking the north on saturday. the government lines has blocked the 11 east group denies involvement in las grace and gaza. as an, as ready as ry kills thousands of palestinians, including it by the present crisis in the democratic republic of congo. we looked at the mass release of inmates from the other crowns of what kind of jail

the we begin in venezuela with millions of dollars is the heading to the poles, 2 legs for the next president. nicholas montero is seeking another 6. he attend the polish show then to the 1st time and use the opposition is gaining ground. there is and got a dot you can on the crosses that has a to high to inflation about a 1000000 people have left the country because he left us hold a young begins out coverage as it's described as the most consequential election indicates, a boat that could in 25 years of socialist rule in venezuela, the stakes are high. many voters wine, the streets of the capital gusts, waiting for hours to cast their vote. we'll get better here, jo. a such

a thing. i just hope that everything remains calm and peaceful. forget it, and of course i hope that whenever the results may be that they are accepted with tensions running. hi, there was anger and frustration that a one pulling station with people said they were not allowed to go when the good they won't let us in want. we want to avoid. we want to see a free event as a well, a nation is not want imposed by late president chavez or president. my brutal despite series of electoral fraud, president nicholas moto says he will respect the election results. right? so let's say i recognize and will recognize the electoral media i to the official bulletins and i will ensure they are respected. i call on the 10 presidential candidates on the 38 political policies to respect and declare publicly that they will respect the official results. but doubts,

link, or institutions loyal to the president have not allowed a 1000000 so then as well. and so brought to register and vote. it's also board the opposition primary winner. money equity. now much total from running a poll show for replacement, former diplomat and wounded gonzales. has an advantage of at least $25.00 points. the opposition some state has the best chance it's had in here. in next year, we have denounced for a long time, but these electrons are not transparent noncompetitive. but we also believe that the vote we reaffirm the overwhelming will of the people the election is testing model is appropriate on power or something like that movie. and the last, what we've seen signals from some sports people that are different from what we had heard previously saying the results will be recognized and that they will respect the result as and that is precisely what the entire country wants to hear. but last

week, my brutal war and that if you were not re elected the country could face upload path, leading both venezuelans at home and abroad on edge katia, little bits of the yen houses here. okay, for more lead, speak to listen to run p a t. he joins us from bogota in neighboring columbia lessons, or you give them columbia the country is hosting millions of into silence. can you just give us a sense of what it's like with really only a few hours now until we start to get initial results? oh, absolutely. so um, what, what i can tell you is that hundreds of venezuelan migrants are out on the streets uh with that here, close to the call, the police station in the columbia and copy building with the help of our photographer here. one, just let me give you a sense of the situation here. uh these people have been there since the early

morning hours and what is some somewhere between a pro this uh, i'm actually in support of the opposition hannon celebration because the people here are convinced that today will be the day that the the united off position. well, be able to and the president because my daughter, obviously nobody knows at this point that what indeed that will happen. and while president equal, as my buddha earlier said, he will recognize the results that will be presented by that as well as the electoral council, which he consoles. he never said that he will be willing to recognize that if he can just give us a bit of an idea of how much is on the line here. the tourist and his body is the only one. this could possibly off a pace, while the opposition says it's the best and only chance to preserve democracy seemingly a huge amount is at stake here. the absolute plan for

the people here for almost 8000000 been sweating throughout the country if the economic collapse. so you manufacture in prices for this is they see it as their best opportunity to be eventually able to go back home to see family members that they haven't been able to see for many years. if you look at the signs that people have here, a lot of them say grandma, i hope to see you very soon. this is our day, very swell, i'm far, but i'm close to you. i. i supposed to be doing it in my heart. that is what i will be back soon. so that's what the people feel here is that political change in minnesota. i could bring an economic change in an opportunity for them eventually to go back. this is something that the physician can do that and move the gonzales on their line throughout the campaign. the say with my the equity now my child of

the driving force behind it can be then see that the person who the position well, who won the primaries, the opposition. my wife's been banned from running. so the expectation is that this could be a watershed moment. one in which it could bring a major change in the country, kind of slow reconstruction of what they see is that country and shambles. obviously we're going to have to see what happens if the, the, the polls are right when they talk about an overwhelming when i'm part of the opposition high not. and also what will be the response of the government. obviously the people here are the possible, brought the government trying to build the election and its favor. and also the government believes that they might have the numbers to win somewhere between $20.30 for sense of the electric field support president. because my daughter would

like him to stay in power. we're gonna have to see what happens tonight. this is going to be a very important moment, but what is we are talking to a lot of people both here and in that it's what i, that i've been serving the selections. the billing is that this will be a turning point. even if my daughter stays in power, the expectation that this will turn into a process that transition process one way or another. and that's how they fix in venezuela will change starting on monday. whatever will be the result, whatever will be the response of the government, the president, the plasma will be giving a very close eye on how things on the folder over the next few on. thanks so much. have a sandra, a sandra room, p a t their for, for us in the bulk of the lord did is the directive industry ended with the washington office on less than america research and advocacy organization. she explains the implications of the door of victory in the wake of concerns about the

elections transparency and under the conditions of this election, they're taking place. this would create a very complicated situation for the international community. they will not need to make a decision on whether they recognize the or not the result, acknowledging all the obstacles. not only that, but if you take a look at the polling, there are reports that go from 12 percent up until 30 percent of the population. that said that if motor stays in power, they would leave the country. the situation right now in venezuela is very dire. minnesota is experience is experiencing a complex humanitarian emergency, which of course explains that the lack of popularity from equal last moto. and this can create a very complicated situation as well, for other countries in the region frequency onvia that it has received around 37 percent of the migraines from minnesota, but also to the us. and to that extent, the u. n. is also interested in having

a peaceful and democratic solution to the situation in minnesota because it could also impact its own interest. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has met the security cabinet to discuss the responses to an attack. and northern israel on saturday is ro blames 11 days. um, the group has ballasa, the bulk is attack and the old find goldman hans, which killed 12 people. the u. s has also said has beloved is responsible, but the group is denied. any involvement said hold on for quotes from favorites of the $1007.00 near simultaneous strikes and multiple locations across southern lebanon. isabel said it targeted as well as weapons deposed and infrastructure and a message, but not the response promised by as well for the rocket to attack that killed civilians and the is really controlled. syrian occupied golden heights late on

saturday, then they will give us a terrible tragedy in this, in boys and girls. it breaks your heart and i tell you, because boys responsible for this and they will pay the price has beloved denied carrying out the strike. but as well as unconvinced saying the mass casualty incident was the most significant event since october 7. it is really military also said it is conducting investigations as to why it's air defense failed to intercept the rockets while others question whether the incident was the result of a malfunction in the rent. on monday that i want to remind everyone that this area was targeted by rocket attacks 5 times in the last 10 months. this is not the 1st time. yes, this time is the hardest one. is it hit the football field while we had a football game? as well, and as well have been largely calibrating their attacks in the past 10 months to

prevent what is largely limited confrontation from expanding as well as response will determine the trajectory of this conflict. will it stick to the unwritten rules of engagement and focus on military targets? what has will i be able to absorb this strike without the need to retaliate further escalating? the war of attrition? senior is really officials have been quoted as saying the response will be strong, but not one that ignites all out toward the conflict between long time and it means has reached a tipping point, a dangerous one. so i know who they're l. chaquita banks. as a bank isn't very rude with more on the latest is riley strikes is that it has cars that server the stripes on southern the run, but also a drone strike on eastern limit on routes tend to building was hit, but they are no casualties. no reported casualties. now his was, i have said that they've talked, it is way the positions i to is ready settlement. now the situation here is

somewhat tense. now the liber needs foreign minister to the fund. heavy has said that the liberty of government has spoken to the united states as being restrained from israel, but he's also said that the united states has passed the message to the liberties government urging them to tell his results, also show restraint. and he has said that the significance attacked by israel would be to reasonable. will that people here do think that this is a tipping points because of what's taking today's an own eyes on is real about where they will attack, who they with the tech and what and if that would need to an escalation that both sides have said that they don't want to put up prepared for it. so tensions a high end. the middle east airlines have one of the main carriers here in never known has said that they have delight to date some of the flights so that they don't learn to late at night. during the early hours of the morning knowledge, is there a spoken to the chairman, but how much of that is on?

and he says that's because of the situation and the tension here and living on at the moment. so right now, own eyes on israel and what they will do next. i said vague. i just had a baby to live in on a more now on the is really a strong so i'm living on with now correspond to the home the salutes. and just to remind a she isn't dog hot because his rouse government has banned al jazeera from reporting within the country. of the is really government's the security cabinet is convenient to discuss exactly what the next course of action is going to be prime minister benjamin netanyahu cut his trip short from the united states to arrive back in israel to convene the security and defense establishment. as soon as he arrived, so what they're discussing is what exactly they're going to do next. last night we heard from israel's defense minister, you'll have kalonde who said that they have chosen a couple of options. but now they're going to discuss to see what is the best one for israel. we also heard from me is really military chief of staff for 3. however,

who said that they are, we're preparing their readiness of the, in the north to the maximum possible level. but this is not a change within is really policy. this is something we have seen before. but look, there's also other external influences. you have the united states who also said they don't want to see this war just last month. they said that israel's air defense is, would be overwhelmed and the casualties on both sides of that border would be catastrophic. and israel still definitely know what it's going to be up against when it comes to his bolas weapons arsenal. while these really do have quite a, an advanced system of air defense is it would be overwhelmed, indicates of an all out war. and while both sides, especially these rallies have said they don't want a larger regional conflict or full out war. it is something they said that they're prepared for is ready as drugs have killed dozens of people in south of guns or over the past 24 hours in con eunice and is ready attack on

a home left to for the 10 palestinians. this. now in the wasi encircled safe, so in, according to these rarely military, at least 5 people were killed off to attend sheltering this place. palestinians was targeted in dallas color. it has the license from del ballot and central cancer. so it's still escalating in the gaza strip in special in newness where the is where the forces target to attend in milwaukee. it also has to be also targeted a residential house in the western parts of the community. those areas where the significance a safe light is where the courses for more than a week. now, policy means who did not manage to evacuate after days. where do you back to age or does the eastern new this are still trapped without food walkthrough medicine. and no one could reach them, even the civil defense environment, except that they are having a lot of challenges to receive, to go to those area and to recover the bodies. they're also saying that there are dozens of policy new still trapped under the rubber. now they're not only

evacuation or just in hand units, but earlier today, people in the middle area also received its actuation or just especially in a good age and in most laid off, those palestinians stops in this area was safe. and that's why they evacuated from different parts across the gaza strip to the middle area. people do not know where to go. they're all squeezed into the middle area and community. they can go through the they can go to the another in parts of the closest group. but according to most of the hospital, they receive at least 18 policy news kills. or near today, most of the hospital, the only hospital facilitating and drop off. and can you and is this so the situation continues to escalate in policy and you do not have anywhere to go in the committee. obviously the didn't but but the so plenty, i hate to ronelle just air including avoiding a disaster. both are these in the philippines of waiting for weather conditions to improve, to safely remove oil from the sun can tank the

i had a lot of that. let's have a look at the weather as a new week stops in europe and it has to be said, it is looking very pleasant across much of europe. we've got a high pressure in charge out west that's keeping things large, me fine, dry, sunny, and warm. we'll see temperatures climb across more western areas. we'll see some relief, however, to the sheets across the bearing peninsula, with showers popping into northern parts of portugal to the north west of spain. a few showers as well, creeping into northern parts of bruce and on the island of island. but lots of funny spells with the wounds gathering across the south. now let's talk about the elephant in the room. you can see that swelling area of low pressure. i'm going to bring some very strong winds to estonia,

very heavy rain to lot for you. it moves away from the baltic states across belarus and into western russia. and as it does so, it is going to drop temperatures for some of those cities like moscow temperatures coming down slightly, as well across the se, but lots of heat continuing to build across southern pots of front into spain and portugal, we are expecting to see 40 degrees celsius the in madrid, so a scorching choose day and a lot of room for southern parts of england london seen $29.00 degrees celsius on choose day. the meeting of minds discussing the defining issues of our time. scene one year we source that change. it became clear at that point that we really were in that kind of a new era of a nobel peace, slower it's maria dresser and professor michael wooldridge and explore the pedals and possibilities of artificial intelligence. it changes the way we think,

and then the way we act out can protect ourselves. studio b, b, a. i series on a jersey to of the, to let you know, just a reminder about top stories this out. millions of votes is a heading to the house of venezuela to elect the next president. president nicholas missouri is main. rivals gonzales. hes costs his balance. incorrect. the euro is eating. number 6, he attend the whole show. the opposition is gaining ground. round apartments that has met the security cabinet to discuss the response to a strong can the goldman funds on saturday, as well as blaming his ballasa that attack in which 12 people were killed,

both sides of carry down tit for tat tat. and his registrants and southern guns, i have killed thousands of palestinians in the last 24 hours. is ready, forces have issued you evacuation orders on eunice for the 2nd time and of weight. the palestinian site is nowhere left to go for us is it is re vamping its military come ons in japan and creating a new joint headquarters for the forces. that's the account of what it calls. growing regional threats from russia, china and north korea local apple has more in the united states is strengthening its decades old military alliance with japan that country hosts more than 50000 us troops. hundreds of us, st croft, and washington's only forward deployed a cross carrier strike group. but they take, they orders from americas in the pacific combined in hawaii, 6 and

a half 1000 kilometers away. and 19 always behind japan. the announcements of a new revamp joined. come on and control structure will change that this will be the most significant change to us forces japan, censors creation. and one of the strongest improvements in our military ties with japan in 70 years. the us send its allies in east asia, described the people's republic of china, or p. r c has the greatest strategic strength facing the region. we strongly oppose the park. these efforts to unilaterally change the status quo by force and he's trying to see in the south china sea, around taiwan. we agree on the importance of upholding peace and stability across the taiwan strait to us in japan are also worried about russia's renew, defense ties with shown yang, a good to shed. look, we reaffirmed our cool for the competing, the nuclear i zation of north korea. and we also shade our concerns about russia

and north korea's military cooperation. fuel the changes come as china is rapidly expanding its nuclear awesome that combined with the ongoing threat of north korea, which continues to test it to be solved. plus all side effect of russia is increasing its military prisons and did so in the pacific and increasing its corporation. we buy china and north korea. the, the us is military. industrial complex has been stretched by years of supplying on to ukraine. and more recently, israel for it's for on cause the close to collaboration with the washington seek to leverage japanese factories to boost production of advanced weapon systems . for japan, it marks a significant shift from decades of post will pass if isn't tokyo,

has doubled its defense spending and recent years under what the alliance calls and evolving security environment. mike level of the 0, the president vladimir persian says russia will resume production of intermediate range and nuclear weapons as rushes and enable dice rise in st. petersburg. people in the us against deploying the sounds in germany or elsewhere in europe. the us plans to deploy long range missiles in germany from 2026 to us, and then from united the situation recruits the events of the cold war era associated with the deployment of the american pershing medium range missiles in europe, us implemented such plans. we will consider ourselves free from the previously one solid moratorium on the deployment of medium and show to rank strikes systems today, the development of a number of such systems in its final stages. we will take mirror measures for the deployment taking into account the actions of the us and they satellites in europe and other countries of the world. a group of 420 prisoners has been released from

one of the many overcrowded prisons in the democratic republic of congo. and the move comes off to images of dia, conditions inside sales spot. once for the alf crime, x on it, which has more in the gates of mcculla, presented the democratic republic of congo open, but not for new admissions. instead, 420 prisoners wants free. the 1st of 7000 to be released to the coming weeks. a move welcomed by prisoners to rights activists. the quote and for zone see do what i'm thinking is you, what you're doing is looking at the extent to which we can directly to just to over crowding. the enabling us to complete the defense to prison front of the same time and building another prison as pre as you know to please. mcculla prison was built in 1957 for just 1500 inmates, but now holds 10 times more. most of them have never faced trial.

i've never been called by judges. i've been here for 17 years in mcculla prison. i grew up here. i've never benefited from these grace mattress granted. but here the people suffer and the release comes after a social media post by a journalist who was recently freed. after 6 months to attention. it shows a must see a to prisoners sleeping on crowd the floors drinking from buckets and often suffering from various diseases. overcrowding and presence has been a decade long problem to drc, the human rights advocates say it's caused by a lack of state resources, an arbitrary detentions by security forces of last year. 66 inmates died in just 2 months for a moment, attrition and lack of care. the conditions are very difficult,

the prisoners die every day. the people stopping here and like you have no idea. the prism is very badly. the government says it plans to release $7000.00 inmates in total, potentially having mccollugh speculation. they will be released at the rate of $400.00 a week. but critics, a deeper we forms are needed. as more prisoners of wait, their turn for freedom. it's a long overdue step towards the justice axes. i'm reaching out to 0 with ours. he's in the philippines waiting for the with the to improve before attempting to try and one and a half 1000000 leases of fuel oil from a ship sunk by typing gaming. one cream in the last, as life fishermen have been told to stay away from manila bye for now on a be low reports from them. i before these here had said again and again that they are racing against time. the philippine coast guards had hoped to begin draining the 1500000 leaders of industrial fuel from the tanker on sunday.

but bad weather and rough sea conditions did not permit this operation. but that's not the only reason. diverse went under water bound, 9009 of the tankers valves are leaking oil. and so at this point, they don't want to do anything that could blow those valves wide open and st. oil gushing into the ocean. because this has all the potential to become the worst oil still possessor of the philippines. let them know nothing new, but we know the position of the ship, but we can't do anything just yet because of the leaks. so our priority now is to seal those valves. now their aim is to be able to finish sealing those valves by monday and then immediately go into the siphoning operation because it appears now that the oil spill is reading the environmental non profit. when peace has monitored oil slick, just 4 kilometers off the coastline of had gone away in the province of full con,

that's closer to manila. and so this is potentially now becoming a bigger disaster out. people are already attending to the reported oil spill and bullet can, but that's the only area where the oil has drifted sofa. but there could be an even bigger problem for star test. confirmed that another motor tanker has sunk not far from where we are, which means it's not far from where the 1st oil spill happened. and initially records show that this motor tanker was not carrying any cargo fuel. but now that the coast guard has sent divers underwater, they believe that they have found diesel cargo in the tanker. so potentially now the government is dealing with 2 oil spills within the same area. to find zillow, al jazeera, the mice at the, on the philippines. at least 10 people died and hundreds more interested in type and getting me made landfill and nobody's taiwan. last week, it was the 1st time for me to hit the g is unleashing wrinkled levels of ryan. you

just came, reports from ty. tragedy has hit this hill community after a landslide. dislodge multiple homes, a couple and their late sixty's died. and i was panicking when i had people shouting, you know, at least 10 lives were lost after kimmy, the 1st type boone to land in taiwan and years, and least record amounts of rain on parts of the island. losses to agriculture and fisheries are estimated at more than $50000000.00, but the capital type pay is now being back quickly. unlike the aftermath of type, you're not in 2001. when widespread flooding came at the cost of nearly a $100.00 lives. this transport hub type a main station was inundated with rain water despite existing flood control measures rising to above 2 meters to paralyzed operations for months. and.
