the the, this is dw, it is live from ballot also 6 long weeks of voting across the country. counseling begins in india as a general election. any results suggest the victory edit that term for the vend remote and is the j. p policy boss with fuels seats. then before also coming off, this information is probably gonna increase enroll in elections that are on the well we look at at russians role and how it is influencing other political actors across the field. for more hostages helped by homos, i'd be glad that prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he will not accept

a cease fire in gauze up until pull israel's demands. i'm at the gulf is welcome to the program or contact us on the way in india, off the hundreds of millions of people voted in the election to decide who will phone the next government and the world's most populous democracy. the national democratic a lion c, n. d, a lead by prime minister in there and remote is national is b j t is currently a headed into accounts. but at the trends indicate it's victory will not be the last slide that was full cost. the india is on track to win about $300.00 off of $543.00 seats available. the opposition india alliance, which includes the ones the dominant congress posit, is leading in around $230.00 seats movie is on cost to retain power for his story

the time. but without the super majority. that's p. o corresponding shelby at the office standing by at the beach. i p headquarters in dallas, charlotte. so what's the latest where you are like a, how do you can probably hear some music and still in the backdrop. but this is really just a blip on what we saw here in 2019 in 2014, when uh the b j b party lifetime. it is to move the change to power with a resounding vincent. if i could just give you a sense of sense of what it was like back then the seed lane so that you can see leading up to the party headquarters, that's the gates, right? that will full of people. i mean that you could, you could barely, you know, get a step of the space available or you know, suite celebrations. and there were groups of people. oh, you know, who are, who are taking over the roads are leading up to the party. but here today we see

traffic as normally this really looks like, you know, a deflection also, you know, the disappointing numbers that have been coming in or the 10s over here latest is that and do you, the national democratic airlines said by a prime minister moody's party is almost starting a $300.00 now, which is a very far cry from a they claim a full 100 to remember that the prime minister had made a claim of uh, crossing 400 seats out of 543. this time you didn't go, he's election daddy's and as of now they know when you as close. yeah. you mentioned disappointed with us mode is b, j. p is looking like it will do much worse than full cost. why is the us with the 2 big reasons that really stood out for us. so, you know, reporting over the last 2 months of our unemployment, especially amongst a youth and inflation, even as india is. uh, you know, one of the woods largest. uh uh, so the fastest major growing economies,

but still people say that that hasn't really deflected onto their lives. really, you know, because uh, the fuel and food costs have gone really high in the past few years. unemployment to be so burning issue. uh mostly uh the news is when the stress a fall must have been uh, you know, then a b b building block. and they have been quite so disappointed with this government because they haven't been able to meet the promise of doubling the income. so doing good to know about how will these results effect modi's plans for us as prime minister the language disconnected. okay, i always seem to have uh, some trouble with the line uh there in charlotte. thank you very much. so we can go straight over to our deal box. he is at the opposition congress policy headquarters at the latest way. you are good. you can hear the sound of the drum,

and you can also hear people in the background waving flags and also peter's jubilation of this excitement. i did send this patient that's the moment in the congress that caught us right now. to make it clear. uh, douglas and just allies partners, they don't have majority right now. they don't even close to the majority, which put them it civically because they are able to stall bgp for getting a company majority of 400 magic number. so congress, what goes get us this sick telling us that it's already a victory for them? it's a rejection, uprightness or bodies. give us a call to fix that. it's the when abrupt with god, these called god, these catchphrase that save democracy and see if they're going to see if that's the sentiment and the congress headquarters. this thing that this kind of been, will do with them model boost. it will help them to make preparations that up with the coming connections. that's the sentiment with congress. what goes here now, what does these results mean for the congress body of the india,

a lions that it leads so this week 3, it's not a big thing yet. but the claim gets up quickly because they say in the next 2 hours they'll that they are hoping they will get the victory. and i'm talking about the game didn't collide, which is the, the grouping up more than 20 allies pop notice. so this thing that it is, this weekly, they will get, it is about the white will not be in a democracy. it's about rejection of nationalism. it's about what are all going to be. it has been telling us that during the march that he has to say the constitution every texting moody's empty hate speech again just mostly might northeast. that's the sentiment. well guess what goes without telling us, even if they don't win, but so they would concert this as a big piece. so what should be we'd be looking out for as the account progresses. right now. uh,

the zip and its allies, bottles, they don't have a majority right now. they are almost heading to page already, but they don't have it. and similar with the engine the lines up with some parties . so we need to wait and watch for the next 2 hours. what's going to happen? and we'll get it cleared up, picked up, who's going to win? because right now nobody has the majority yet. and put congress, spotty. they're hoping that the kind of campaigning they help from this time, they have a better chances as compared to the service of politics, stuff when they've been testing us here at congress at going to us. so that's why we see the celebration congress makes person congress stop ministers of are also forwarding. and here they're talking to the media saying that this is the rejection of movies, politics, and this is the business what it will be about the same. instead of the constitutional governors auto bought the congress party headquarters and a quick reminder of us, we will have extended special coverage of

a in there's elections in uh at the top of the with us about a g and image such as well or the elections resolves in india will also be closely watched in washington. the us has increasingly prioritize this relationship with in depth. and it's changing global geo political order. the well as to biggest democracy's c i to i on many things including keeping china's pa and check box india particular book scheme to preserve some dividing lines. it's a strategic partnership that only keeps on growing it. special status was on display nearly a year ago. during indian prime minister and their engine mode is trip to the us. moti is one of just 5 world leaders, welcomed by president joe biden on the state visit partnership that was among most consequential in the world that

a strong are closer and more dynamic than any time in history. there was a strong bipartisan support for developing even better times within the something you can always buy multi, he's address to the congress in law has changed since i came here say when some of the eval, but a lot has remained the same like the company's main to deepen the pregnancy big when in the and the united states washington has also been trying to woo daily with an i encountering china is growing influence in the in the pacific. but india has deeply held belief in not aligned with any power. something demonstrated by the equally good ties daily

that's up in the fight to relentless strikes on raphael, palestinians are taken to 10 out of field hospital in the southern most city of calls, the strikes also hit the city of hong eunice where destruction is so widespread that newly flattened buildings no longer stand out underneath the rubble as amaro dream. as sars mother ma, ma, call us considering this we have lost a lot. we lost all our loved ones. we have nothing left and no. for the love of god implemented cease fire enough. we are tired, humiliated, and broken up, give prospect for full truth now, look, slim after us. president joe biden presented what are you called and is really ceasefire proposal that would also see to the release of hostages,

held by how mas afternoon is rarely prime minister. benjamin netanyahu came forward and dismissed the deal, and says that fully destroying from us has been a key priority from the start. ends for the help of we are using calculus ways to bring back out hostages because it allows. we've come a long way, but in the process, we've kept the voice of objectives in mind, primarily the limitation of hum us. and we won't give up on them either. it's old part of the plans that clinic by me today. but there's also been pressure on nothing yahoo to speak the truth. and israel families of hostages have been calling for an agreement that would bring their missing loved ones home. i feel that from week to week it's just we're here just for about more and more hostages. it's dying. and now we are in the critical moments. and if we're not going to

negotiate and will make a hostage, there is no help for these countries changed around and i can see the men coming back alive. whoever is still alive if it's not going to happen. no, like in these days. and then garza is more mounds of trouble. pile up. international pressure is mounting on israel to end. it's more the washington correspondent, benjamin of ours group and has this assessment of us reactions to israel's resistance to the latest seized by proposal. the white house says that what's important also to see other regional partners are a looking at this proposal. investment many comments coming on from the washington on this topic. take sullivan. the us national security adviser said israel has shown willingness to agree to

a cease fire and hostage release. a 5 is deal there was set out by president biden . and the white house, this insisting that this piece plan was, is roads own and was not drafted by washington to put it pressure on its allies. some people have been suggested and that still seems it to be necessary as many still wonder why it was in you as president and not in his rarely prime minister presenting it were president biden calls. this is riley proposed the spread of this information has become an increasingly decisive and damaging fact to end elections around the world. russia, in particular. so to use this information networks to influence elections, the volt coming european problem and polls are a major target now. and the kremlin isn't the only one trying to manipulate the narrative. the kremlin wants to vote in european elections every board by the german federal forwarding office filed to the russia has used more than

50000 fake accounts on x, sending more than 1000000 tweets in order to manipulate public opinion only in germany. the sounds bar, right, members and staff of the european parliament are being investigated for helping accused of taking money to promote pro russian views through a propaganda network called voice of europe, allegedly financed by moscow and van headquartered in prague, even after being sanctioned and expelled by both the check government and the e u. the website kept its prague address a surprise to at least one resident of the building. were you aware that your home address is being used as a, as the sight of a russian propaganda? whether it's 1st time of day heard about this. well boys of europe may be muted. there are plenty of other voices that concern democracy active this veronica v who has been working to counter kremlin this information for years and wishes european

politicians would take a more active role rest and probe again, that is not trying to persuade anyone about anything really they are just trying to start carols and distrust. so as long as we are not country and with some kind of narrative, that is going to create a story that is going to make people believe in democracy again for losing. and are you losing right now? i think we are on the verge of a vehicle that illustrates how check candidates are attacking each other with accusations of kremlin sympathies instead of presenting positive platforms. so basically, also the government's approaches are sort of spreading manipulation at best. so this information about the new policies can't all be blamed on. foreign influence is plenty comes from european politicians themselves. the gary and government is accusing the block of planning to force young europeans into the military to send them to ukraine. dw spec check team dispelled that notion quickly. noting the germany's monford river head of the largest political group and the european

parliament has called for the german army to re introduce conscription. nothing else. but russia's warren ukraine has given this informers of all backgrounds, much more material to work as compared with the last european elections in 2019 and cove it pandemic conspiracy theories have also been resurrected for the vote. the european digital media observatory is a hub for 52 fact checking organizations coordinator to him. also, cannetta hopes voters will be proactive and informing themselves nourishing healthy skepticism on one hand, but do not also fall in the exact opposite of not trusting anything or anyone. and because this is one of the cool of this information wanting people not to trust anybody and things being that you know, truth and falseness are absolutely the same. cannetta also warns that while the use of artificial intelligence in creating deep face has not been as prevalent as was feared, such tactics could still be deployed at the last minute,

making it very hard to verify information and time. he urges voters to steve vigilant european elections will be a crucial test as to how much fact checkers can do to ensure election integrity the w correspondent in brussel specials file type report for us. and also to tell us more about the investigations of european politicians. yes, what we knew from the initial investigations, as i mentioned there in my report of this formerly prague based website voice of europe. we knew that they were spending money trying to get politicians elected on pro kremlin propaganda. but the washington posters published its own very detailed investigation a day ago, which shows even more, it shows that moscow was spending perhaps $1000000.00 euros per month on trying to help politicians get elected on these kinds of messages. so that certainly makes more clear just to the extent to which the kremlin is willing to go to try to get

politicians which are spouting their agenda in to office here in the european union . i think, i think that's a big concern. now as we've heard in your both democracy activists wish you a p and the officials will take a more active role in counseling. this information, what can be done so that voters on full yes, it is not just your opinion officials because it's one thing to be trying to debunk propaganda when you're coming from inside of your opinion, institution and factors themselves would prefer that, that voters turn to them but when politicians themselves are actually spreading lies uh that is really concerning for the, for the state of democracy. and that's why, as you saw in my piece, of fact checking organizations are really urging voters to do more of their own work to look up websites that are debunking some of these claims. and also to remind everyone to have at least 2 sources of information when you're trying to

look up what's fact and what's fiction because there is a lot of it out there and, and there will be even more in these very few days that are left before people go to the pools or do you think we need to be concerned regarding the upcoming european elections when it comes to the influence of rush and this information? i think absolutely every election uh there is more and more concern about the ways that russia and not just russia, but also china. iran, other governments that wish ill to the european union are finding ways to influence the electorate here. and, you know, the kremlin budget for this information is 1500000000 per year. so they are going to all links to try to get politicians that are favorable to their views into the european parliament, international governments. and with poll showing that perhaps as much as a quarter of the european parliament seats could now go to far right parties, some of which are very favorable to the kremlin. that's a big concern. so certainly people here are very worried and again urging voters to

do a lot of their own diligence and looking at what's fact. and what's fiction before they vote voluntarily shows that we bought him from brussels. thank you very much. terry and germany, severe flooding has killed at least 4 people and forced thousands to flee the homes . john and john sort of shows visited, one of the areas hardest hit in the southern states. very um, he said the slots will yet another indicator of the threat posed by manmade climate change of germany's chancellor surveys the flood damage in this bavarian town, accompanied by the state premier and interior minister, olaf schultz promised solidarity in the form of federal and military assistance and he expressed his concern about climate change just as a d, as in the dispute to my doctor did not be the full time this year. i visited an

area like the assistance of on him bus donald. and it's an indication of what's going on as of the all scott it in. so we can't neglect the task of stuffing and man made for alignment. change shut off. let's ignore some flood defenses were no match for the masses of water that came down in southern germany. residents are overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster. people, i think they're going to get the bands. everything in the basement is destroyed, finished the fridges freezers, the washing machine, the history, everything is gone. i'm not waiting for the firefighter and the pump, the water out at the basement of whatever nothing else can be done for now. we're moving on it. in another bavarian town, rescuers are mourning the loss of a colleague who died while trying to rescue trapped residence. yes, and it's just weird. just made stomach maternity and both were thinking about

colleagues and his family, whom we knew is very well. so, but the work let's go on, it's like, you know, we have a disaster here so we have to get through that. so job. this is loosely all scrubbing. rescuers continue to search for the missing. and the officials have warned the high water levels are likely to persist for some time. and some football news. it's now official. the french strike a tv on and but pay it has signed a 5 a season deal with real madrid. and the pay will move to the spanish side in july when his contract with iris sounds are not expire until now. the 25 year old has only ever placed the french clubs. the drifts have wanted to sign him for years, but have only now sealed the deal on the faces. the transfer is a dream come true and realm and it just lifted the 15th, jumped into the trophy. we off the gentlest central hunter where the pig could now

make them unbeatable. oh they are. they certainly seem to think so. you have former players like garcia's or myself come out on next and say, we're going for number 16. so this is certainly something that they've been talking about, and i think a lot of them are produced as the funds that support the cloud. well, certainly for believing that now they have one of the best players in the world, probably at the moment the best player. well, they certainly are going to believe that some they're going to be winning many more trophies for the next few years to come. i need to look at the landscape and football and you do think it might be very difficult for many other clubs to tanner's them. certainly in spain, at the moment, i wouldn't say that anybody is going to be able to really go toe to toe with them. european why is may be matches to city bar munich, some of the traditional heavy weights and not sense, but otherwise you have this kind of funny feeling that rtd just might start running away with it. and that's it for me and then those team. so now do stay with the value. we have extended special coverage of the indian elections with bureau,

spanish. yeah. and, and image such as was coming up in roughly 13 minutes. i'm good. how else is in berlin from me and the whole new scene here. thanks for watching the
