the, the, this is the, the we news while i from berlin. millions in pakistan are heading to the poles in an election marred by dudley violence. and allegations of vote rigging, tens of thousands of police and military forces have been deployed at holding stations to ensure safety to bombings, killed dozens on the eve of the modem. it's also coming to israel rejects terms for a ceasefire foot forward by how the prime minister benjamin netanyahu vows to fight on until absolute victory and says the collapse of how much is within reach of the battle in the us senate to fund ukraine's a fight against russia, as the cost of war amounts were key republicans in washington q

a bill links to billions and aid for ukraine. the . i'm fairly sure welcome to the program, voters and pockets on our heading to the polls today to choose a new parliament in a general election marked by a wave of militant violence. their site security in place around pulling stations across the country following to bomb attacks on the eve of the ballot which killed dozens around a 128000000 people are eligible to vote. but pollsters are predicting a low turnout campaign has been overshadowed by the jailing of former prime minister, m con. still one of the country's most popular politicians who has been convicted on corruption and other charges and is not allowed to stand the selection. it

was a threat of violence hanging over election day. i asked you to be a reporter being his job in his lama. but what kind of atmosphere voters are facing? and they go just as you mentioned these docs that took place in bunker frog south western program. so for those has gone and therefore there definitely is some said so spear or some type of standard is that people are a scared of. and also, as you mentioned that if god hadn't had been in june, 1 of his lead it of one of fuckers as most popular and father to can 5 be so north of waters of a lot of supports as of his body. i had just a feeling of di, more deviation. i have been to few pointing stations and it, but supporting as just started a couple of hours ago. i did not see a lot, a lot of people showing up toward them, but there was some more tag. um, i think we just have a lot of, uh, we still have many more hours of pulling and hopefully people will leave their

homes and even headed towards performing stations. mm hm. what is the problem telling you about what issues they're voting on? what is moving pockets done you through the polls today? as i spoke to a number of orders and some of them doors me, that they are just tired of the long wanted to go christ. or if that bug cause on has been going through all scores, economic crisis is also something that has restricted, almost everyone in focused on. and therefore you'll see that there are some of the believe that the board past bible and they are joining up to point bins. and they believe that there was, might change the destiny of the country. um, but uh, overall as of now we don't see a huge or large order going out. the most talked about the person in the run up to the selections you already mentioned him was former prime minister in rome con,

he's been barred from learning. how is that impacted the election and who is up for election now? so this has definitely affected how people are perceived this election because emerald hon on his policy can 5 defeat the i have publicly blamed the state and even the ministry establishment of a crackdown on deadlock. these and they kind of ready, vocally, uh, fed that they were not to give an 11th meg speed to camp been in this election. and rog hahn is in jail, so he's under the august 30th then there are 2 are going to get that does one of my boss should he's he is head of our political party, p and n. he's 3 times buckets on the floor. bradley, the stuff he has been in politics for decades and there's a large perception involved hassan that this time submitted to stablish ment is back in the boss or these p also already had a very difficult history with the ministry. like many other politicians involved

just on the skin in this election, a lot of people are looking at him and then the 2nd to his main drive on. if the lab report to the body is front apocryphal bumper gravity stuff, because in puerto he has also a water beef. as of now, these are to make a depth, but we can not forget that even though it's bpi, it's not lending but speed. the i fact independent candidates around 200 of them are running in different action. who said that they are candidates also gone home and that oscar then what does, what if they want to work for beat the eyes and they have to work for these independent their lives. so it's a mix of, of, of, of, of political parties and independent candidates, and we just have to wait for the results. so let's do the ways being a chavez covering the part of sonya elections from his law. but thank you so much. i this onto the middle east now where israel's prime minister has rejected

a mos proposal for a cease fire saying a total victory and gaza is just months away that yahoo described the plan as, quote, delusional, as he insisted that there is no alternative to the military collapse of homos, which is designated as a terrace organization by many countries. well, here's some of the reaction to that decision in a moment. but 1st, let's take a look at some of the points of the mos proposal, which was divided into 3 phases. and the 1st phase there would have been a $45.00 day halt and fighting in that time, all female is really hostages, and all male hostages, under the age of 19, would be fried by how much is really forces would also begin withdrawing from populated areas of goss, i'm the 2nd phase would have seen all remaining mail is really hostages exchange for palestinian prisoners. and the complete withdrawal of is really forces from gaza, bodies and remains would also be exchanged during the 3rd phase,

he was secretary of state antony blinking, who has been desperately trying to secure a deal for gaza, says he believes in agreement between israel and how mazda is still possible, but for the families of those taken hostage and the people of gauze of the slightest set back in negotiations is another major blow. the ears take with angle and heartbreak, intel of eve, after renew deals to secure the release of hostages is rejected. many here will hostages themselves hills by how moss for weeks and relieved during an audio deal me where is my government? to thank you for guessing me out of the bringing me back to israel. but what about my father? who is still the english? if they are not returned, every person mother and father will know that they can be next. their life is in the hands that they live in the country that does not take responsibility for the

security. is there any prime minister benjamin netanyahu project the do you think that his military's campaign and gaza will continue? nothing too, but we're on our way to absolute victory. the victory is in our reach. it's not a matter of years or tens of years. it's a matter of months, so to see us officials believe there is still hope of a deal between israel and thomas. these things are always a negotiations. it's not. um, it's not flipping a light switch, it's not yes or no. there's invariably back and forth. and as i said, we see that we see the space for that mean biling, garza know, deal know, sees file means no let up and is rarely a tax close to 20000 gallons have died according to the how most fund hilton industry. hundreds of thousands are lacking food and water show to and medicine

because it's enough, it's enough. we do not want wars. we've been displaced from guys that for approximately 115 days today, we've been abandoned number one. we have children now, we're infected with diseases and the model. the doctor sees volume, humanitarian situation and goss, i will likely worse and with people here uncertain if they live to see to maureen simon maven is a lecture in international relations and middle east politics at lancaster university in the u. k. and earlier i asked what hope remains for a deal to be reached and the fighting and free the remaining hostages is always a hope. there's always a chance given the, the scale of this humanitarian catastrophe, that's affecting people and as well people and gaza people in the diaspora. so

there's always a hope. granted that hope right now is very, very small. given that area is precious on this, right? the government on benjamin netanyahu, on how much on the us, on the various mediators involved. there's a lot of different moving parts. there's a lot of different pressure, and that makes getting a deal over a line incredibly difficult. at, let's look at one of the major moving parts here, the relationship between israel and the us because the 2 countries, very, very strong allies. usually they don't seem to be on the same page when it comes to the way forward here. what kind of pressure can washington use to get israel to accept a deal? maybe not this deal, but some sort of deal? i guess there's, there's 2 main types of pressure that can be excited. those the public discourse, the putting pressure in the public arena through through speeches, through briefings, things like that for them as a buck channel. by look,

the back channel dialogue is private conversations, colors and carrots sticks. and i imagine it will be a combination of those 2 different types of, of, of degrees of influence that the us will be trying to exert pressure on, on that, and yahoo, it is government to get to deal to make a deal happen. even if it's a deal, but that nothing else doesn't necessarily fully subscribe to. but i think what we will see is that netanyahu was incredibly reluctant to do that and given the various pressures on him domestically. and what that tells us is that us influence in the middle east us implants, in this particular arena, is on the way. mm hm. but the prime minister, netanyahu has ordered his troops to prepare for a push into a rough file, which is where, you know, half of gauze this population is, was ordered to shelter. as, as the israel ground troops were advancing. what impact do you think that could

have on the prospect of a truce or to get to a truce? that has to be a degree of trust. you have to be able to trust the other side in the conflict that they will follow what is being agreed. and i think right now, given that palestinians have been told in no uncertain terms, to go south to go to the south of gaza to go to a rough or and if the is really forces go to the very space that palestinians have been sent to that will make it incredibly difficult for that to be any real trusts from the palestinian side. and we already know that from this riley side, there's nothing you know who will only claim success when from us has been defeated and getting back confirmation to us. the 10 sort of knowledge that from us has fully been defeated is going to be incredibly difficult for him. and that means

it's going to be really difficult to build the trust and necessary to get any type of deal over the line. so it's an incredibly full thing to send the ideas down into rafa and it has potentially very, very serious consequences for the diplomatic solution, but also for the devastating humanitarian conditions in gaza. right now. the assignment may have and thank you so much for your analysis. thank, let's see how monster attacks of october, 7th, last year, and the consequent war and gaza. tensions have risen between israel and lebanon as well. the powerful organization has, will, are considered a terrorist organization by many countries, whole sway in many areas of 11 on its fighters. have been firing rockets and israel, while israel has responded with its own attacks. it'll be as funny for shar went to the district of con dock. l got make and central being rude, where

a combination of social economic and religious factors have cub has the law and their affiliates and control despite the risk of war with israel. this is the barrel district of honda. for me, the name means the deep trench. it's a poverty stricken neighborhood with a dangerous reputation as bowl a leader. his son, this roller is pictured everywhere. would you call and just walk in and start filming 1st. you have to meet with the circles, community leader. it's for our safety. he said he used to be a fighter from alicia, affiliated with him as well as his board semester. so, you know, as well as says, we're supporting garza so we are now fighting to reduce the tension on cost of upon go. pest below doesn't want water on the home. those are all his words are seen by his feeling worse as the message you all on even if he talks of destroying

ease. well, he's ideas echo in the most israel is our enemy. we are a glorious nation, and we have glorious leaders. but as well as not only has she missed militant group constituted by many to be terrorists, it is also a political party which with allies $1.00 to 2018 general election. and even though it lost its parliamentary majority in 2022 in freedom and of issue areas like this one is functions as a state leaving a fail safe. that means it funds squeeze hospitals, socially institutions, services that because of the economic crisis, many communities depend on but that has the price that many has paid with their lives a so called monitors for young people here,

the future looks bleak, leap i don't see economy in ruins it's infrastructure crumbling, and there is no functional government with the old that this district is considered not to worry. as for poverty and radicalism, every country is against us, but has below is with us. when the time comes, we will go and fight. this is our land and we are with them. has bullet seats, people here are resistance, narrative, she and most of them spiting western domination. some dedicate their children to the calls. resistance means dignity. my pride, my glory. we were born to die, to become marches. i've done that. i've already given 2 sons and my nephew, his sons are pictured here. both died fighting for his vala against israel. the ma, yes. yeah. rights and political violence and identity building and live on on. she's

as, as well as clear reasons for providing services to people that were paid. they've had made the services create a special bond, very strong between the families of people who are receiving the services and has the law here to know whether she has law has the largest social service network. they may have been, but also all the parties do the same, they make it. so the main problem is the in existence of the state, specifically associated live name. he, uh, the mazda sits, and w as bolus bower and humbug shown to us as we entered is always present for locals. many would not speak on camera, but as the prospect of war with israel looms, not everyone even here is willing to give up their children for the calls. i worry about them. so maybe when they see older men fights in there is something inside them that encourages them to join. i don't want my children to join. i raised them

for when they were little until they would grow, not sending them to what to lose them. know how to settle, know, people in this area will see deprives if there is a full blown war with israel to rock. now, where a us strike in doc dod has killed a senior militia leaders suspected of plodding recent attacks on american troops in the middle east. the pentagon says he was a senior commander of cuts out. he has bala, b, a run back to group. the us says carried out a drone attack, and jordan killed 3 us servicemen. a number of groups backed by tier on have stepped up attacks on us spaces since the beginning of the israel. how much more in gaza back in october and a quick look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. the use says that and for the 1st time, earth has had 12 months of temperatures,

1.5 degrees celsius hotter than the pre industrial era. in the 2015 paris agreement, world leaders had pledged to limit the global warming to 1.5 degrees. the target is however, still within reach. as the average temperature is measured over a decade, not here. us in japan, more than 5000 leaders of radioactive water have leaked from the for pushing my power plant. its operators as a vent was left open during cleaning company claims. no signs of contamination have been detected outside the facility. the plan suffered a nuclear meltdown back in 2011 after an earthquake. and a tsunami authorities in rio de janeiro are scrambling to contain an outbreak of dang, d, c. for more than $300000.00 cases,

a stand alone bill delivering only the 8 packages. it legislation includes $14000000000.00 and security assistance for israel and $60000000000.00 for ukraine and its fine against russia. ukrainian traipsing training, preparing for the real front line. so it's almost 2 years on from versus invasion of the cost of loss is mounting. last week the you tentatively approved a full year package with 50000000000 euros on the blocks top diplomatic. joseph burrell has visited the scene of overnight strikes with keys mat bartolic glitch ko . it's one of the war stairways, and i said it was a tourism to, to kill civilians. burrell told, talk to bella strikes. we're in disagreement. that's the use of random attack.

these me cycles have failed on this dialogue with buildings on the next hour buildings, but the send that name discriminated that back against civilians. i just see these people suddenly with our shelter without house having to escape some of them killed . these are this and discriminated attack again, see really in to check in all the rules. so for all the united states, congress is deadlocked over future funding for ukraine. us president joe biden set the delays play into putin's hands. make toe chief installed some bug, implored the us to find the solution. the debate continues in washington on funding for a number of important poetess. it is vital that tonight the states congress degrees on continued support for ukraine in the near future. but as the will here in

ukraine into the 3rd year and the prospect of a donald trump presidency looms, america money is needed soon to keep ukraine's wal efforts to live. as an over the past 2 years, few people in ukraine have been left untouched by the war. many of it's a limbic hopefuls are trying to keep up their training despite difficult conditions . the country sports ministry says more than 400 athletes have been killed and the fighting of bombing has damaged many sports facilities. who will be used on your phone. the car has been to meet one ukrainian wrestler determined to live out her olympic dream against all odds. it's me look punishing but this is just a lights training session in. it'll be a key for free starting with the every now could you think of her spawning park now? her youngest sister because despite the playful session today,

the war is impossible to ignore. yesterday i woke up and it was horrible around all the cities with them that it was impossible to sleep all night. you need to eat a hide in the past where you all go down to the basement as mentally and physically difficult. things were even worse when the ball stopped it. jordan is being which the russian spatially occupied. this, her regular chain was damaged by shit. the war affected everything around here, the stadium in it'll be, is go champions. doing the things left here. uh, with the uh, we trained here that is um, and also that somebody's on a nearby village. this is where the non us is still flipped to an onst apartment. when the russians visit the pharmacy hit in this basement for more than 10 days. in freezing temperature, with and without heating or water,

they managed to avoid the russians for the to contort. what's your, what's of some e, it's all accumulated. at some point. i have a psychological breakdown of what i wanted to end my sports career. i didn't want to train them. i didn't even want to live. i didn't want anything to read them off to the wind, she returned to leslie, helped by her coach and by doctors a month to be billed me. used to be a wrestler to retract now he's the queen's spots minister. he says, many of his countries, athletes have been killed, literally mobilized or forced to clean a problem. he tells us he doesn't want to see russians at the bottom. so them, thanks. not even on the new to reflect that on that as long split up was the police, the cook, and the smooth good sports is outside of politics. and that was outdated. if this

is not the listing picture of it, when a piece of the state always invests and they'll even pick sports um it would take them over. but for to these athletes, a training with russian money soaked in blood when they and they will be used to a physician propaganda. what they said was that never ceased group upon eating. and those she could face russian opponents in progress, was wondering about her family at home. but the more immediate concern is whether the next, every adult could disrupt cleaning. and with the mix flushing beside could let the person on the show on the floor, not fleet. the most important thing is to be able to train regularly in order to achieve success. if regularity is lost when form and motivational last, i don't search and see arises shirts. i'm with the water when it kind of from duty knows, fight is not just on the match. she's fighting a constant battle to, to note the war and focus on who you're watching the double you news line from
