unhelpful thursday. say that the multiple casualties and costs of the complex is on file the new to this market and welcome to the program. the russian election commission says vladimir fuson has one re election with 87 percent of the votes. the poll was held off for a crackdown on political opposition across the country to 10 face to no meaningful position. one, fax, which led officials in the you on the us to cool the contest. now i the free know fast in his victory speech cushion said he would now focus on ukraine 2 years. also the full scale invasion of rushes neva that was initially expected to last just a few days to marching out to meet supporters. vladimir putin celebrated an entirely predictable election went off to securing yet another time

as russia's president he claimed the victory was due to the trust and hope russians had placed in him and usually cbm. yeah, for sure. but he used to look at the 1st of all, i want to thank the citizens of russia. looks like we are all one team has done that. i see called us citizens that came to polling stations and voted you put a good list of what you showed us once again. but i want to say, and this is very important. and then you look at for them when the, the source of authority in the nation, which is the russian people that i knew you dates. i see scheme that voters had little choice. all those who could have meaningfully challenged putin or the jailed exiled or dead. rushes leading or positions take a alexa in a valley,

died suddenly last month in optic prison. breaking his silence of an invalid. these death boots in cold it, an unfortunate incident. the elections have been criticized as being neither a free nor fat by the us gemini, and ukraine. sue montgomery. what is the russian victor is simulating another election with everyone in the world understands that this figure, yet as often happens in history, or simply become a ticket to power and just doing everything he can to rule forever. there is no evil, he won't commit to prolong his personal power with somebody's blog of the election when appears to have been bold in clinton's plans for his war and ukraine. in his victory speech, he vowed to strength and brushes military boots and has now been in power since 1999. if he completes his next 6 year to he'll be russia's longest subbing leader

in more than 200 years. and some more, i'm joined now by d. w. use eastern europe editor roman gunshot, hang tight road room, and welcome to the studio. now let him it boots and has extended his rules as expected. what should we expect from him now that he has secured another time? well, basically, we can expect more of the same. so more um, outside of russia, more against ukraine. but maybe he will try to intimidate the west countries. um, former salvage republics like moved over a neighboring country of ukraine, could be in his focus because we saw some attempts, or at least that looked like them still just deadlines to the situation. the representative from montalvo regions traveled to moscow representative from a 10 semester which is a kind of a, a separate district public on northern territory, oscar the russian problem and for support,

especially for support. so that could be coming inside the russia. he'll be tightening of the group for the group on the opposition as well, although it's in it's, it's hardly possible to do that. we could also expect him to come and 6 us. if we look at a little further away and that made the rush, i will try to, i'm closing even more than before. so cutting ties was the west. probably cutting things like youtube, which is and um, maybe one of the last channels media channels, a very important shows connecting bratia to the outside world to the west of the world. and can i ask you what person's new time will mean for you? creighton, in particular. well, as i've just said, it would mean certainly more more so that no signs of a rush are getting tired of letting the 14 i'm showing signs of fatigue. oh, maybe i'm going for a compromise. so he's saying basically, um, i'm waiting and i, i intends to continue with my goals and he's goes extra to destroy ukraine as

a sovereign state, as it was established in $199.00 to more on after the collapse of the soviet union . so she will pursue that goal and i think in the, in the see it might be if we look at this year and the next year may be at 2025. a lot will depend of all of this will continuous and what will happen the united states who will be the next president of the united states. ukraine is very much dependent on us help if there is little help. and then of course, voting might be going to and highest speed and which is also important as we should watch, the major ukrainian cities like hockey is closer to the russian border. and the desktop are a major and very important lexi ports of ukraine. actually, the last one, big one that is left we've seen in the past day is just prior to the action, a lot of talk in russia itself and from pointing also from the russian president about odessa. so this is the key region for the coming months and yes to watch. okay, you mentioned roman that he was going to try and squeeze the opposition,

even sub whatever is left of the opposition. i mean, does he face any real threats at this point? well, at the moment it looks like he is very stable. so in, in short term, no, i would say, but in the medium term, and in the long term, the st. the thinks would be unstable for him because this war is not to populate in russia. so there's a core of about 20, maybe 30 percent of the most, who love it, like it, and to go fight or support the fighting until that actual wins. but on the other hand, there isn't majority that i know it's very much happy because the russians die in this war. it am and the population is, is getting to feel it more and more. so the more the one of the war continues, the more difficult it could be for pointing, but at the moment he's stable and he has enough money. utilities, eastern europe at his room and going try and good thanks so much room in that israel says it has killed a top. com us. come on, the in

a raid the l. she fell hospital in garza garza and so thing going to evacuate the complex, which is the biggest and one of the last remaining health facilities in the strip. israel released these images of the raid the army claims. how must miller since 5 out of them from the hospital? i'm not from us is using l. she says a come on send to the i'm us run goal is a health industry is reporting multiple casualties. people have been seeking shelter at all. she says since the rules that began in response to the come off terror attacks on october, the 2nd the w. jerusalem correspondent tanya claimant is monitoring events in gaza. and i asked of whether there's a way for civilians course in the aisle seat of a hospital to get out as well. there. a bit of conflicting reports would be a hearing. i mean, on the one hand, there's a statement that came out early in the morning by the army saying that had cautioned the troops operating there and not to harm or to avoid any harm to the

medical stuff to patients that are inside the hospital. i feel also hearing some eye witnesses there that leaves us have been dropped in the area in the neighborhood of fremont. and also to those sheltering on the hospital grounds that they should leave and evacuate to soften garza to the area of mobile. i see that is on the coast in a new laptop. so of course it's a bit difficult now to understand how this of a creation of people will work is the safe corridor. also, we have to understand these people have been that it's a very difficult area. northern goals we've been talking about it and supplies have not reached the area very frequently. so people would have to see how the rest would get transports. so all of this is still to see how this will unfold, but suddenly devastating for those people who have stayed in the neighborhood now to be told to evacuate. once again, tanya came over,
