hello, i'm clear. richardson, welcome. indian prime minister and ranger moody has been inaugurating a controversial hindu temple. built on the ruins of a mosque in the city of our yard. yeah. the opening of the temple comes as moody is campaigning for a record 3rd term as prime minister, the temples and all you ration for those. a key campaign pledge to him do nationalist for whom the project has symbolic value. the destruction of the 16th century mosque in 1992 sparked religious writings, in which thousands of people mostly muslims work health. after i asked the w deli bureau chief, i'm research team or what this ceremony represents given its scale. so what's happened today and you'll see that is the consecration of the drum templates. and the items of a 51 inch ivy was on vase today. and with the, i just had the blindfold that was taken off. so now the agent has life. so for the tv can do is what's happened today is story because they say john has come back to

his bus place. and that is, i don't the, and this particular side at the time, but the use ceremonies have been, has a, not just today, but up in the coming the boss, few days did and nights rituals, protracted, long rituals have been performed. and today, the prime minister and the various, please to a responsible for the ceremony consecrated this template. as you said, no expense fed billions was spent, but a fine clear most of the money that the spent, what came from donations from people. because this is a bait beloved in popular god in india, particularly in northern india. and for them, it was absolutely a historic day and that, that this tempered wisconsin created. so clearly an event that was very close to many people's hearts. and yet it was also controversial to was it not? i mean, this is a temple that has been built on the side of a mosque that was raised by hindu mobs in 1992. that's right,

this side one. so there was a mosque here on this very side, a 16th century mosque called the bob, d must shade in 1992, as you said in the rad, because demolish the month and said it had been built on and forward. you can do temple of this and so i've got continued for many, many, many years and then to in 2019 the supreme court ruled that the demolition of the most had been in the good. but. a that they said that a template would be built on this same side and, and another place was another plot of land was given to build a new mosque. now this is been very controversial for many people, especially as let's do a lot of send them listed intentions. but once the supreme court ruling was made, it was clear that at the template would be best. and it was at that time to accepted by most of the mostly organizations because it was a call to link. but that was a festering sense of on ease. it's been

a festering wound for them for decades. and today for many of them, big 1st, a sense of disappointment that in the end the template has been a inaugurated. the temple has been consecrated, but there's no sides off any just as we said, hope they'd get to the end. indeed the system for this and also have a modern day political repercussions and curious how this might play into elections . and we're expecting to see in india this year as well. certainly the opposition believes that this whole consecration of the timing of this country on consecration was to do with a indian elections. this is an election year and indeed the elections of not being announced, but they will take this this summer at the very latest. so the opposition believe that this was a political maneuver by the government to win support. and as a result, they will. so for the it was going to mix religion and politics together. so the

senior members of the main opposition in congress, spotty, did not attend the ceremony. and this is not to say they're not believing in those, but they just present the ceremony was wrong and it was not secular enough, a secular in the constitution. so they stayed away. prime minister moody says this has nothing to do with elections building up to stanford was a part of his election manifesto from way back in 2014. and he believes in that thing a lot of people also support this view. but she's reflecting the views of believing can those who believe that this tend presented to be billed. and john needed to come back up to some 500 this back to where he belongs, back, where he belong a was born. so the thing is that obviously this every indication that given the excitement and the frenzy and the religious flow, but we've seen the last few days that this good play into the government's hands and they would come back with a residing victory at now, india is officially

a secular country, i'm re type of but with moody, appealing to him do nationalism. what do you think that tells us about what the future holds for the role of religion and india as well? did that is a big question because, you know, many sit collection do is almost to asking themselves, what does this all mean for the future of india? india has a secular constitution that is clearly enshrined that the rights of minorities would be protected with candy state. so the separation of religion and politics and seeing an event in the spectacle of this kind, which has been going on for the past kind of a 7 weeks. the bottom of the same says, has been just drinking coconut water, anything fruits and sleeping on the floor as a ritual to purify him, says for this particular consecration. at so many so collecting the fees lose feel at this to simply does not belong into a secular india. that's a head of government should be doing these things. but in the end, the people have to decide what they see. but certainly the big concerns in certain

areas that's in this section of that nature in just 2nd nature is and constitution is being undermined by, by events like this. i'm going to thank you so much and wonderful speaking to you as always as that is i read that you my idea of these deli bureau chief for us and we can take a look now with some other stories making global headlines. chinese stage media as a landslide has burdened thousands of people killing at least 3 in the south western united providence authority say they've evacuated hundreds of people from the area which is experiencing temperatures below freezing land flies are common and you're not around it's steep mountain ranges camera room is beginning routine rollouts of a new malaria vaccine making it the 1st country in the world to do so. the campaign follows decades of a global search for a vaccine and successful pilots in kenya gonna. and malawi,

malaria kills 600000 people every year. mainly in africa and a powerful atlantic storm has thrashed irelands leaving thousands without power. within a $150.00 flights were cancelled at the dublin airport. stormy shout prompted authorities to declare the highest level of warning for several parts of ireland to northern england and florida as governor rhonda sanchez has ended his bid for the republican nomination for president of the united states. a heathen, perhaps the most viable republican alternative to donald trump. and santas announced the end of his campaign on sunday with an endorsement for the former president. and that leaves trunk, which is one last challenge or standing between him and a re match with president joe biden. in november, dropping out of the presidential nomination, race, troy the governor on descent. this has endorsed a former president donald trump, even though early pals suggested he wasn't a strong position to take him on the. it's clear to me that the majority of

republican primary voters want to give donald trump another chance. they watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance. and they see democrats using lothair this day to attack it. while i've had disagreements with donald trump, such as on the corona virus pandemic, and his elevation of anthony bouchee, trump is superior to the current incumbent joe biden. that is clear. just fair roads on the scene left us to folders disheartened very to flight is very upset. this is not good news at all. um, i'm very upset, but it happened and it's very deflating upsetting for some, but not lifting for others campaigning in new hampshire. where republicans will get their 1st chance to gust ballots for a nominee, especially donald trump. and his supporters, even though he's been endorsed by the census, comes to places one serious challenger. nikki haley, drums farmer,

are you an investigator and comes down to this? do we want more of the same, or do you want something different? and more of the same, is it just joe biden? more of the same is also donald trump. but even if hailey can defeat trump in new hampshire, it will take a lot more to losing his grip on a party. he's dominated since 2016. the show because the policy analyst and washington, i asked her how surprise she was to hear about the santas ending his campaign. it's pretty surprising nobody leaves after taking seconds. and i was this early in the game is it's just kind of unprecedented at this point that he would bell out. my immediate reaction was a deal somewhere has been made. and i was kind of waiting to see, was it a deal to trump or was it a deal to hailey? what is the fact that the scientist has now given it from his endorsement is, is that perhaps a deal behind closed doors that you're referring to?

and i would not be surprised, and that's exactly what i was looking for. the only way republicans could have nominated someone other than trump was if they all color less around one person. last week, when i would cock this happened, the next 3 folks behind trump together would have beaten him right away that that drops out. he endorses trump. so now it is just samples of haley. diseases endorsing trump is a surprising business. means it isn't for the democrats, it's for trump, and trump has indicated he already has a c p pick in mind. and, and who do we think that vp takes might be in your view? he's been coy, but there's a lot of stuff. fines that say the santas at least thinks that it could be him, and that's why he probably agreed for some pile to do this. okay, so let's zoom out a little bit and think about what this means for what is increasingly looking like a potential re match between biden and it from to become the next president of the

united states. i mean, really now the only contender standing in from the way for that competition is nikki haley. does it, does she stand any realistic chance of beating? i'm here? she's definitely an outside or the next contest is new hampshire or any cancer likes to think of itself as kind of an average safety at the unexpected state. so there is a chance she could do well in new hampshire, in the c following, that is her home state of south carolina. so i wouldn't totally count her out yet, but i would say that is a long shot. okay. and so if she, if you were to have, you know, a surprise upset and do really well in new hampshire, say, what would, what would the next step be? how much of a long shot are we talking about here? or she comes a lot closer, especially with the state following that south, south carolina. and this would mean that there, that we're all going to arrange for a real primary versus right now i think trump is signaling. he wants to push this

right now and head into the general. and so i think a lot of people would come out of the woodwork to support her and keep it hobbling along. so i think it would extend the primary. i am not super helpful to secure their nomination. well, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. that's at least a political scientist in washington dc. thank you for calling. installed. officials say 27 people have been killed and thousands wounded in the eastern ukrainian city of jeannette, which is occupied by russian forces. russia's foreign ministry has accused ukraine of showing a busy area with shops in a market. ukrainian forces in the region denied responsibility, but the government and cube has yet to comment the aftermath of a strike on a sub, often near a city on the front line. this market area is always busy with shop has even most so on weekends, local authorities installed by moscow said, was challenged by ukrainian forces to the party. there were strikes here and then
