i made visible and welcome. in bangladesh, votes of being counted in a general election, beset by low turnout and sporadic incidents of violence. i'm it is to shake and seen his body is expected to win a full time in a row after a nationwide boat boy called her by the main opposition. hundreds of thousands of police and members of the armed forces were deployed in the lead up to the ballad, several opposing both schools and a buddhist mounted street was at a place. at least 4 people were killed in a passenger train. fire that the government called us and here are some of the reasons this selection has stood such a political on rest, bryan and associated casino golf for vote in the election in which many fund let issues already know what that is. that is going to be the ruling of on me. the pieces on was no effective rifles in more seats as the main opposition, the bundle dish nationalist party sees the election is unfair and is not

a big bar. we are asking people to break or the election on the disconnect, the risk will act accordingly. we have informed the world on the phone, whether she nation about the drug test and the nation is protesting with us. you want to check the b and b use this, the government of secrecy now of imposing a booty track down in the months leading up to the election. the body claims more than 20000 of its members have been arrested and several guild in flashes would produce many remain in hiding. the government seized the b and b has carried out to send a dex. housings of law enforcement officials has been sent in to maintain security on election d. since bangladesh was created in 1971,

it has mostly been joined by either of army league or the b and b each claims the other for violent attacks. despite to this would be effectively uncontested. the ticket for, for the most of the between the 2 main parties oversight to their election i spoke to dw, so back maybe in the past, if the positions boycott had impacted, voter turnout to the yes, it certainly has to be a few minutes ago. the electric connection commissioner, because the of the water, he has declared that the total turn out is around 40 percent. what he told us earlier, one hour before the election and the director for both being closed. it was during the 7 person there around 27 percent. now it's 40 percent off. however,

from the election commission and also from the ruling party, the anticipation was they would and they were expecting that the 50 percent turn out of the debt and in bangladesh, in, in, in an, in, i do situation logan all the parties taking, taking part in this in, in an action, a 70 percent for thing turn out is the number. so in that sense, actually the uh, the, the, the white card from the opposition has effected the voting, turned out, ends up being, but we will be there. we are still waiting for the final, the final, the exact turnout results, and that will be declared from the election function. okay, if this ends up being a, a senior victory, what would that mean for bangladesh as well for her support the golf course? obviously it's a, it's a big thing like they will, they are, they are really happy that if,

if she is being connected again and up me mean for the position of cause they are rejecting the result. they said that they don't want to legitimize this election where they didn't take part, but for the local uh for the, for the both those generally people move. so there are 2 main concerns. one is the, uh huh. price hikes, the comedy, the prices that are being i that are being getting higher and higher for the last 2 years. and uh secondly, done on an environmental democratic freedom, which many of them, which i have talked to on. i have talked to said that this election is not a 100 percent according okay, we'll leave it as a bath bed in top. com. jordan's king abdullah has again us to waste secretary of state. and so they blinking to put pressure on israel for an immediate cease fire and gaza. lincoln was in the jordanian capital,

i'm on as part of a diplomatic tour of the region named it coming tensions. washington has repeatedly rejected calls for a truce. the blinking is underscoring the need to protect civilians and increase site. cus is top diplomats on a mad scramble to prevent the spread of b as well. how much will this time end to me blinking isn't georgians? capital man, as his middle east mission becomes ever more urgent. georgians, king abdullah, the 2nd judging the us secretary of state to do or he tend to push israel for a ceasefire and warning blinking of what he calls the catastrophic repercussions of war and gaza. lincoln's visits to a world food program facility, highlighting the west ending humanitarian situation in the gaza strip or

for these displaced palestinians. on the receiving end of this conflicting gauze, a help come to come soon enough, some accounting on end to me blinking himself to end the war. not among many blend since we heard of the engineer blinking gold. the blinking looks, the dog with an eye of massey and hands, the will and the misery wouldn't living in. they are people that mostly for free and dignified life. but his rescue was such ruffled off to another is rarely as striking the south if the goal is to strip the prospect of the p seems hopeless. lincoln's middle east tools, though, continues, as he prepares to meet all the lead is on his mission to try to control the fallout from this conflict. i mean, the buildings of a public health disaster that you a secretary of state is calling for aid to be scaled up. but what about getting

those deliveries to the civilians who need it? i put that to test ingram of eunice asked the un children's father as well. there's a double challenge, ben. it's a matter of getting the idea and then and then getting into across the guys a strip. so we need to scale up i, we need to get to the, in the as quickly as possible. and then we need to tackle some of the challenges that we face in getting it to the children and families who need it the most. but that is absolutely critical, so the cold, the scale it up is, is, will very well welcome to test this one spot in the gaza strip in the very south. and it is the only spot where aid is getting in the boat to egypt. is there any hope of things getting better? there's been talk of the arrows crossing in the north being open for example. yeah, look, lou calling for existing crossings into the gaza strip that were, were operating before the escalation hostilities to be reopened. one of those

crossings trim shalom has been opening for, for some days, but, but as you say, there are others that could be opened. and we really need access from as many possible route set up for events in order for us to get more idea. and because at the moment, we're only getting in, you know, a 100150 trucks today and before the installation facilities of his 500. so the need is going your offices and the a is dwindled. so it's, it's really a, a very tragic situation for children and families on the ground. the doctor was going to say that a net needs to get to so many children who uh, over, proportionately affected in this war. tell us more about the situation for them. which was you make up about half of the population of god, just as you say that a disproportionately affected by these conflict is no safe spice. for a child in god, the bones folding from the and disease looking around every corner. as we just

heard in your report, there's no food. notice that was a no show to their parents and families are really just exhausted by the she a exemption of trying to survive every day where we're hearing accounts from families and children on the ground that they often go days without eating. and when they do, it's just a, you know, small amount of bread. and so the situation in terms of food is, is incredibly difficult and with worried in the coming waves to the very real risk of what spread 7. and for the kids who do manage to survive this onslaught, what, what sort of future is for them? how, how, why to you about the long term effects of this war on them? so it's a strategy beyond anyone's wildest imagination. i think one of the things that where you know stuff a trying to prepare for and get a handle on these, the long term mental health impacts. obviously these children will have many of

them physical scars from this conflict. but others will have lost family. they lost their home and enjoyed a ongoing fee a to so for days and for weeks throughout these facilities. so as you know, so if we're not just then delivering aid, we're also providing support services to some of these children to meet the weather out and help them process some of those emotions to try and reduce the long term impact of the trauma trauma that they're experiencing at the bottom of the situation though is dependent on diplomacy that's going on around the region at the moment. and so many different players, but who is to blame for things? not having changed. i mean from day one with 3 months into this war and the situation hasn't changed. it really? it is. um, i'm the father of a little bit. we're allowing this as a global community to continue unit stuff has been calling for weeks now. full and

immediate and long lasting humanitarians, they expire because we talk about aid and the changes that need to happen to get more in. and that's important. but the safe side really is the only way that we're going to be able to deliver enough. i to meet the needs is around the other to the children and families that need it. and ultimately for the sizing to stop. because most people that we speak to him does or at the moment just urging us frontier to do whatever we can to end the funding. as the humanitarian died agency, we can add the kite to tool potties. and so of the conceptual community to do what everybody can to try and in the funding, but ultimately needs needs to come from outside. i got it from the and assess the test. ingram. thank you very much for taking the time out today to speak to us here on the w news. let's take a look at some of the other stories making use around the world. risk of workers in japan had pulled a woman in her nineties from the rumble of
