i'd say the to so is this is a killed, a cleaning, a type on the other russian at region. although the key is both is also swipe folding stations. and that has on area really big. go to run it f as in files to retaliate is i have michael puts it live in our studio right here at the red square and we're bringing you updates from how the russians passing the vote in this historic presidential election. but it was in written learning costs his pilot from his office and the drum and making him look 1st of the full candidates to this i find is where the 5 minutes have been. you mean that the green light is an id of plan for a gland operation to the drones into the southern gaza city over the

pay? very well. welcome to you from the inside all to international news. the we're going to live from most know that's a good with ups with this out. and 5 people have been wounded in a cleaning attack on a call in the belgrade region, and that's according to the local governor. that's off the multiple you creating a strikes on friday to the lives of 2 people. i wounded 11, others had defense systems and both billboard and of course, what to home. but that's what however, the local authorities maintain the warning advisory throughout the day. i mean cars on region 2 people wounded off the cranial forces attached to local pulling stations according to their mutual governor in response to the russian president vile. but he's 10th. at summit charging the presidential election will go unpunished in an attempt to disrupt the voting process. and intimidate people,

at least in the border areas with ukraine. the key of neo nazi regime is trying to carry out a series of criminal and demonstrative armed acts. this primarily involves targeting peaceful settlements on russian territory. approximately 95 percent of the enemies missiles and projectiles are destroyed by our air defense forces. nevertheless, unfortunately, there are casualties among civilians. all of them and their families will, of course, receive all necessary assistance and support these attacks by the enemy will not go on punished. several following stations think of southern region were shielded by ukrainian army in the fields. they are fresh presidential elections, leaving 2 civilians wounded this day. the city of bills or was shield at that's on the region of recently intensified significantly. ukraine in the middle for an intelligence units have tried to seize, try to capture few really just one of the territory refresher. here in boulder creek and russian minister of defense can don't says all of the attacks were without an estimate. the number of moses at 15 hundred's one of these attacks

happened as russia rules in the free days of presidential elections. we are in bills are 10, belle grove is one of the board is own regents the city of bells, which is going to the colon station people here are willing to express their, their, their feelings and their concerns about their future feel are these, they denounce you creating more risk focused has huge residential building. 3 children died and they attacked the key. the issue is deliberately shutting new regions, choosing to become part of russian about us, a message from bosses you and envoy, while commentary to on other reset text relates as security council meeting, domain people the as the over know, do the warehouse is considering changing the legitimacy of the ongoing elections in russia while ignoring the sins of its own allies to get his design

enough to do with me with the ukrainian dictator who has exist, paula and suppressed every instance of the sound. as of may, that's what it was. this you will become completely, which is the most under the crate in constitution. lateem is the last eco background came to paula calling himself a servant of the people singlehandedly and in violation of his own conscious constitution has canceled the presidential election due to happen this spring. i want to us cold, less than colleagues. you have assembled a whole security council meeting just to critique cross several holds in democratic collections on the territory that is administratively politically and economically apologize of all country. whether anyone likes it or not. and then terms of your boast of democratic standards, how can you character wise, the single how did constellation of elections by the head of states, zaleski still hasn't figured out how to stay in power. but he has already shown that he's ready to draw the whole country in blood and sacrifice every last

ukrainian to achieve this goal. was the 1st day of elections. rob, so both is in russia also to continue costing the votes on such a day. now the final day of the event will be on sunday. so the so that has the pulse, 36 percent as well, especially the coverage of the presidents. amazing. we report from the heart of the russian capital to be all the latest updates. the big question is, who will leave the country in the next 6 years, who will decide the future of the country? and that is for only russians who are voting to answer that question with the balance and that being for tripping out and showing consign and then so as you ask

them as to how they want the one the country to be run. and that is what we have been covering. i bring you up to speed for candidates in this presidential elections and the incumbent title states who is running as an independent candidate along with the other 3 can contend us who are current national lawmakers representing 3 different political parties. and so far a lot of put in is the only candidate so far who has cast his balance, and he opted not to go to the police station, but voted remotely via the online service from his office. now let's head to our political correspondent jago, piston of. he reports from the election he has of that sofa, despite any attempts to obstruct to the voting process, like you just saw in russia's new regions or some of the incidents that have taken place at some of the polling stations in, you know, the regions of russia and millions of people have already cast their ballots,

and this is only the 1st day of the election. like you said, this is the 1st time that russia is holding a presidential election, which will last for 3 days. and that's, of course, done in order to provide everyone with an opportunity to be able to cast their ballots. at this system was tested earlier during other elections, off officials, all full lower levels and has proven to be quite effective. in boosting the will return out numbers. this is also the 1st presidential election in which the russians are able to vote for the next president online. so, so, so school aren't physically able to come to bowling stations, are also able to place their balance. also, this is good news for hotels into hers out there to take a listen to what some of those who didn't manage to come to the polls, had to say we expect small development, the st prosperity in the country,

and that everything we would turn out better for our people, the faith of our country is being decided for 6 years. the president is elected for 6 years, our entire system, the structures of government bodies in our life, in general, is being decided. everyone should come in vote over to collections or our lives, the president and the people are united. our victory depends on the president and the people that i believe that elections are mandatory. that i think that this is one of the most important events for every person, for the citizens of our country. we must take part because the future of russia depends on our voice. we all love us, citizens of russia. i think that the clergy is the advance layer of our society, so we must actively take part in these events for some young russians, this is the 1st time that you have to take part in the presidential election and for others. of course, it's not seen some veterans of the great picture of the core, uh,

casting their ballast with you and seeing the russian members of the crew of the international space station cast their, their ballads in the 0 gravity though there was also this interesting incident in one of the following stations where a robot came to, uh, try to take part in the election, but obviously it's a machine was denied to do so. you referenced in itself deal. it's all community said that it didn't have a human id i have. but if the at some point in the future, robots would have the same rights as humans and as russian citizens, then they wouldn't have a problem with them taking place and taking part in the election as well. but i think that's just a humorous no way. another, a humorous and creative way to persuade more people to take part in the election because we are talking about the next 6 years of russia's political life. unfortunately, several troubling incidents have been reported in the different parts of the

country authorities already in our already investigating them and several criminal investigations are being conducted. uh, a few people actually forward ink into the bad boxes. one woman tried setting up holding station on fire by throwing a mazda of cocktail in it, but thankfully, no one was injured in that incident, and about the boxes weren't damaged as well. but we have heard now from the head of the aisle girl committee, all up and see a lot of who said that this is quite a serious offense. steel from those who are the say and from the, from their explanations. it follows that this is coming from abroad. this means some kind of scheme, a connection. these are elements of federalism. they admit that they do this for money, but they said they will be level that this is just bedding hooliganism. this is section 141 of the criminal code up to 5 years in prison. this is not ordinary

simple hooliganism. now, talking about international attention to these, this presidential election, then a 106 countries sent their observers to russia to monitor the vote. i think all in all about 200000 people, including russian citizens ends. yeah. foreigners are monitoring this election. let's listen to what some of the for an observer is that what they had to say. i see very friendly people and very, very happy to vote for most of them to read. i expected you to be a beats to be a bit difficult to do all of these process. these electron that you like to watch is discovered that it was very peaceful peacefully and then no interruption. my anecdotal, you know, a perception is that people feel excited to vote. i guess the voter turnout so far

as the very good with early voting something over 50 percent. well that's something, you know, people are lined up here at 7 am to vote even though it didn't open till 8. so that says something again, i don't want to draw to be lucian's because that wouldn't be fair and i tried it. fair, but i certainly did. things are not as the west now, in contrast to these comments, so made by some of the international monitors, i'd like to share with you some of the comments now coming out to from some western officials, many of whom had been saying earlier that they won't be paying attention to the presidential election in russia, calling it a sham or illegitimate. but now it seems some are taking to sarcasm as the last resorts, for instance, the european council president, who said that quote,

i'd like to congratulate vladimir put it on his landslide victory in new york section starting today. no opposition, no freedom, no choice. he wrote this on x, formerly known as twitter, of course, or a policy analyst with the european parliament who said that recent changes to rush as a total was make it virtually impossible to conduct any meaningful monitoring and have significantly restricted the role of the media. well, frankly, i think these 106 countries, which did send their observers to monitor the selection in russia. i think they would disagree so far. we haven't seen the any other candidates cast their ballots, but i do think they have a lot on their hands. and plus there's still lots of time to do so of course there's still saturday and sunday, so i'm sure we'll be seeing them taking part in the vote as well. but we have seen many senior russian officials, including uh, 40 minutes, elaborate defense minutes are showing who cast their ballots. uh the heads of the russians regents including the new regions. so basically all of them are setting an

example for all the other russian citizens. also to take part in this election. let me welcome you to another interview. we're going to have here election, observe us who were coming from different parts of the world to witness the history and making election in russia right now and been joined by how much come you've been doing my name. he's the political advisor to the minister of finance of militia head. he's here. it's nice to have you told me right now, how much. thank you. my welcome. now you are in moscow. you have gone round and seen the few uh process in the election. can you share with us some of the observations that you have seen so far? i mean, of course my use is very interesting to note here that i think you have been to some part of the issue, you know, the vice and invite them when it's totally different. and of course, you can see this time, what are we have about the full candidates for these precedents election that's

community shows that the, the democracy practice is i would say, fostering in russia and define what all i think you will be interesting. plus, this is the 1st time also fits eventually election where the e voting system is being implemented. i think this is very good. i mean the to us advisement of technology. we tried to utilize and use and maximize whatever means that we have to make sure that the participation of the people in this democratic process is being, you know, you to us. right? yeah. now, from your opinion, how important do you think this election is through russia? now what do you think is very important to make sure that the 2nd, you know, the progress and will forward to insight to it will be a part of the important come see in the world to make sure that whatever the things that we have, plant and you know, for all this one and also to make sure that the relationship between russia and the

country. so i would say especially issue i'll take is i'm formally see, i think we have been to together, we thought i should, i mean since 1967 now it's almost 5 big kits of uh, having this loan a relationship and i think we can for the improve and make sure that we can do not explore a new opportunity between felicia and rice you, apart from the existing one we have treat, will be right back here tomorrow to continue with all of the in dallas is bringing you point by point of what is going on have a great day or that was monica watch it for awhile. seem to just across the street from the, from the wheels on it, so to speak, with the russian for a minute. who's on bus of the laws. he told us about the voting, but it says outside russia at the time, just the face. is this the issue of it in the most?

currently we have everything prepared abroad for the presidential elections and they are already underway. 288 pulling stations have been established. unfortunately, there are citizens who would like to behave not exactly like voters, but rather like political, provocative tours, included among them are the so called relax and who have been abroad for a long time and who want to come to the polling stations and organize various protest actions, there are election commission members will work directly where the voting will be held and we're talking about the presentations themselves. unfortunately, these people do not understand that they are not only disrupting the work of election commissions disrupting the course of elections, but they're also harm me that they're state. unfortunately, they don't understand it or don't want to understand it. they pursue their own goals, of course, and probably fulfilled the political order of their sponsors. these political actions are a drop in the bucket, and they are unlikely to have a serious impact on our electoral process and the country to continue as coverage

of the rush and elections. i just would interviews on the analysis straight from the heart of most agent with us here on all the international. the, to the middle east now is a prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has given the green light for a full scale round the soul on the southern garden city. a rafa o t, the minis bureau chief maria for nation that has the d test. a prime minister's office announced that gave its approval for a ground defensive and rough um and as a software up to 1500000 palestinians currently find refuge. most of them internally displaced from the facilities in the north. it is not clear exactly when

the operation might kick off, but we hear from the idea that preparations are in full swing is really pushes for the invasion and it says to finish with the militants, the i gf, already killed around 13000 time as 5 years but at least 5000 others. according to ero, i still reported late in the gaza strip and most of them probably hiding somewhere in the south. israel also claims the right dozens of tunnels and gather the south. that blink the street with sewing nice for which is wimbeles, have mass smuggles nothin's money and weapons. so israel says it needs to be destroyed. there are 2 major problems with a rough fall offensive. the 1st is where exactly to evacuate all those poor gaskins from the junction. bode well here is what i was planning to establish. so cold humanitarian islands in the center of the street, packed with food, walter, medications, and tense, but a 1500000 people. will there be enough space and supplies for that?

be finding so continues, there is so unclear how equities will provide security for all these palestinians. another issue is the lack of international support. hayes rose biggest ally, the u. s. has repeatedly said it would not back such and i'm slaughter, especially if it's real, doesn't present a solid plan on where to replicate people from the junction border. and guys, i'm clearly mom and, and firing in such a densely populated area poses many risks earlier. president biden made it clear another $30000.00 dash would be a red line even for washington. all their allies like germany, for example, voice similar concerns. the german chancellor is arriving in israel on sunday and is expected to try to persuade prime minister netanyahu to refrain from rough by invasion if it's not yet too late by that time on friday. and is really to dig ation and is set to leave for go home to continue talks with him, ask for guitar remediation. another reason for announcing the approval of the large

scale, how peroration and rough could be an attempt to put to more pressure on him. us to agree to the deal they to states a sense of to create a so called coalition to help supply and with more weapons. a lot to go into the jim and john, so his folk with authorized financial meeting with the french president and publish prime minister, the damage. what else i need is to be a pump. we've agreed on a number of key points. among other things, we will immediately procure even more weapons for ukraine on the global market. secondly, the production of military equipment will be expanded also through cooperation with partners in ukraine. 3rd, as part of that, or i'm starting format, we will establish a new coalition of capable people for a wide range of missile artillery. shops out there like that guy, the nightclub who can't make a trip to the washroom on his own, he has to drag his whole posse along. they all need to hold each other's hand. so

no one sticks out as being particularly escal atory in this conflict. because as michael said, their quote continuing, as they have done since day one, to never take the initiative of any escalation. we're talking here about the same guy who acted like price opposition parties were a bunch of voices if they didn't agree with his idea of sending frank soldiers to crate using the coffee to indulges and for not for the on board that passed fantasies against russia. yeah. germany sending long range weapons to be used in ukraine talking about sending torres is over there, the 500 kilometer range against russia. and my goal is to staying on sending french troops till holy or any kind of estimates for use at all right. of course, they can always just conveniently say at some point of their choosing that it was russia, the escalated the conflict. so they just didn't have a voice right now. like they haven't already done

a bunch of things that they said they absolutely never do. in this complex. 1 at this meeting in berlin with my whole thoughts and post prime minister donald task, schultz underscored that the 3 countries are not at work with russia themselves. oh, but excuse us, while we just use this whole conflict as a pre text to ramp up our military industrial complex is as though we actually were at war with russia ourselves. german is going to increase production artillery in ukraine. it's weapons of what make or ryan metal really is never had it so good in making hardware that he gets blown up pretty much right on the battlefield, coming straight off the assembly line. so no need to even spend any money shipping it to where it can actually get blown up. started there. it's a wonder that their weapons production facilities and ukraine are you can still operational and haven't been blown up themselves. homes altogether. they call this discussion for him at with pulling france and germany, the raymar triangle,

but it's more like it's on the verge of turning into it from you to try it all for data weapons. and so the post prime minister this meet up in for lynn was also a great virtue signaling opportunity spelling. now that the settings of this meeting, the atmosphere of it showed very clearly that some malicious rumors about the fact that europe in capitals are different from each other in a few matters were widely exaggerated. today we spoke in one voice without any unnecessary waste or hesitation without any which is sometimes typical for markets policy. we have decided that a for the green must be immediate and as intensive as possible, we want to spend our money. we want to help in all possible ways to get polish farmers and truckers protesting against the unfair advantage of their ukranian counterparts are getting into european market right now. we really believe it's not absolutely thrilled to learn that their own government wants to spend their money on your trade tasks. seemed awfully concerned about the perception of divisions

between these 3 countries. well, they all do actually, maybe they should be more informed about the very real and deep divisions between the people of their countries and the junkers, making these decisions with poles in germany and france and particular showing that the actual citizens of these countries really are not in sake, overwhelmingly with their leaders, when it comes to this idea of either ramping off long range weapons or sending their own troops to ukraine. my whole said, the 3 nations are, quote, united, the determined and resolute to never let russia with sounds like you. how does the pool, the arctic, you call them the hat on a bit too tight way practicing for this performance in the mirror? and that's pretty much what it is. it's a show for the folks at home. while the realities on the ground are much more complicated, and these guys conveniently refuse to define for the folks at home, what russia really would even look like, hey, if you don't put up a goal hose, then you never really have to worry about moving them. oh,

they do now why the nation's government have simplified the process for religious minorities against citizenship. and now washington has stepped in with the legend, worries about the ex implementation of didn't condemn the colors from the nation's farm. is the 1st one to the us and gains advising new debbie on the mazda. as regards the us state department statement on the implementation of c. and that have been comments made by several others via the view that it is misplaced, misinformed and unwarranted, licked us by those who have a limited understanding of india's pluralistic traditions and the regions post partition history of best not attempted. we are concerned about the notification of decision shipping them and act on march 11. we're closely monitoring this act. how this act will be implemented. respect for religious freedom in equal treatment under the law for all communities are fundamental democratic principles. the sit

amend either towards paul's live paul meant in 2019 but is only now so it's to be implemented. the bill. expedited indian citizenship for members of the him do seek buddhist policy and christian religious with the flag persecution. and surrounding was a majority of states. they will now be eligible for a possible off the 5 years a residence room. although then 11, the opposition policies. i have a rise that say the bill discriminates against muslims and undermines of stick to the constitution. pro protest people called the new measure is the phobic and civil arrest who made the routing indian policy claims the opposition is trying to. so fear we heard from an international or fed thanks, but unfortunately isn't state and how was washington pressures of the nation? i think visual got lecture in the or without understanding the beauty of this

legislation. and i think this was not looked at india, uh, on the shoes of religious freedom because india has a history of neighborhood attacking any other country. india has a history of our lives being a champion and a mass of the seats. and like just as well as some of the restroom countries, when we know what they have done and done in the name of freedom of speech and expression and democracy. we all know how many countries being very good on what kind of war and do outpatient that, as i said into so i think united states the us, the united. so to investigate data, a good friend of india got to start a new partner. but on many issues we have seen of some of the rest and power act like full style friends. the us commission for the international religious retail has always used really just religion as a 5th tech school pin down countries or bits. this thing, but not to include that might have been like, we are not going to accept that the,

the effort couldn't consider now a delegation from washington arrived in any shad on. she's the has left empty handed us on the side of the state for africa accompanying by append to go on. i've africa. african representatives have time to meet with the cousin, just moved. you need to, but he refused to speak with them. and you to base just timothy of the as a possible us under secretary of state for austin affairs, molly fee and some of the us off the command micro landry. we're among officials. well, we've got the west stopped and based on this week, they arrived on tuesday, but extended their stay until the 1st day in hopes of meeting general c. jani, besides military leader. but the us officials left without an audience with c army, though they met with the needs of re and prime minister in the capital. the meeting was to renew contact with me, sir arthur, last year's military tool. and just to review the us security and development

partnerships with the nation is as military leader did not give any explanation for not being present and domestic government is yet to each one of these all statements. this is the 2nd us delegation visits, and these are seems the most report in summer of last year, the united states condemned the cool and demanded a return to constitutional order with the rest of the reason of the post. president, meanwhile, seems to cool the military lead as have been very vocal about moving away from former colonial powers and for west force in front to withdraw its choose from the country. when the junk we in the french didn't want to listen to us. we issued several warnings. we had to re define new principles for our cooperation before it was too late. the time of colonization is over. everything must be done by the will of the people. we are convinced that the future of these year will be bright because we will work to guarantee the rights of citizens. and that, that in this year and people benefit from the country.
