read through the ballot box, it will be a huge flow to present an ad. one is simple, especially is not only of strategic important for him. it also has a personal value. this is the city where he grew up, where he started his political career as male in the 19 ninety's. um. so that's why is simple, is considered the biggest price and tucker's politics. and if a from you, my movie, incumbent opposition may a manages to win the city again, experts say it would set him on track for being the next candidate against there. and one or another, a candidate from the ruling atp in turkey's next presidential election scheduled for 2028 and briefly bulio. how's the process bang for save this time to vote is think it's been a fair one. well talk if elections the last one in particular was a by international observers, as seen as was considered as largely free but not fast. and that is what i often

hear from a position voters present ad one and his policies can make use of the state resources for that containing they directly or indirectly control. most of the countries of media according to media rights, what screw of. so they have a bigger platform, they get more time of position policies on the other hand, often have to rely on social media. so the short short answer is no elections are not considered to be fab, particularly by anti add one. both has a position to be honey disassemble. thank you so much. now, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has defied masses of protest as calling for early elections, claiming the move would only benefit a mass, tens of thousands of staging a protest against netanyahu's government in jerusalem with pershing mounting of the 5. it's a secure deal for the release of his riley hostages. seem to find that in yahoo bound to bring back old hostages using a combination of military force and tools else. i said victory as

a mouse would not be possible without a ground offensive in the southern gaza city of russell in the also maryland. now, so i'm in maple on is the middle east analyst at the guys lancaster university. i asked him earlier what he thinks about netanyahu's criticizing of protest as demand for early elections. and he's argument that this would just benefit from us. yeah, i think we need to context, utilize this in the sense that there has been a lot of anger directed at benjamin netanyahu over the past. however many years, most of his time in office has been characterized by and frustration, political divisiveness, and not more so than the past couple of years. he faced as challenges from the right from the religious right, from people who are frustrated out the religious right, the oppressed protests and, and growing anger at the exclusion of new. ready tree service for members of the head of the community. and so to say that this is all about the,

the hamas situational the inability to get the hostages back, i think, is misguided. and i think it points to a much deep frustration that is brewing within is really society netanyahu's political like to man. and his political maneuverings and so on is that the, the pressure is mounting. the frustration is mounting. but is there any sign of a getting to him at this point as well? we've heard reports, but he is due to him to go a medical procedure and unexpected one. perhaps that is his body responding to to stress in some way, shape or form. but aside from that, he is maintaining his confidence, cool, outward, forceful cause. so now that his couch arises, his style of leadership. he is defiant in the face of seemingly. ready global criticism of as rails military offensive and southern gaza. and he's

defiant in the face of these protests which is surprising, given the scale of it, get not surprising, given that if he would be removed from pilot then his legal bottles, his own personal legal battles, would once again become central in his life. and is rarely delegation. so i'm going to write in car road for truce tools. but while that's happening, netanyahu is saying that they will be no victory or the hum us without the military operation. interoffice. so wait is all that they've hopes then of finding an agreement. well, i guess this is why diplomacy is the ultimate, i'm say here that has to be a diplomatic break through the lives of, of huge numbers of people are being directly affected by ongoing military action in gaza. the hope of a ceasefire right now is not looking good, but i think it's imperative to keep the talks going to the growing pressure on all

sides to find some type of demonic solution increases day by day. and i would imagine that is the hope of the international community that's certainly a hope of jo by them and others that growing international pressure. ready plus talk to any is re you clients to go into the alpha, but also to put pressure on how much to release the hostages as well. so it's, it's growing diplomatic pressure, i guess. i'm from simon unable on at lancaster university. let's take a look at some of the old stories making news around the world, the cell by process as late as the sunday mass at the vatican in front of some 30000 faithful. despite the system room is about the i, the 7 year olds, healthy, a paid in good form as a presided over events. use these eastern message on christiana, these holy estates when bug prays for victims of the people were killed in the shooting in ecuador on saturday night in the 2nd mass killing in as many dies. no
