presidential election. once again, all polling stations across the country. and now open of what we're doing with wrap up on sunday here. we know that so far overall turn out has now passed 40 percent, and that's including all votes given online as part of law, special coverage. we have set ourselves up in the very heart of the russian capital to bring you all the latest. the quantum voting was well underway on day one of pulling station in the process of reading tape on the ukrainian shelley, according to the local governor, leaving 2 people winded in response president and put instead of the key of the tablet, sabotaging the election wouldn't go on said 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 on the spot. yesterday's attack people in the fossil region are on the to i didn't have been seen the heading to folding boots to task the ballots. the turn out remains 5 there. but what's the lead? as i've already dismissed the election, branding it on democratic however, they were suspicious. be quiet when president zaleski cancel the presidential elections in ukraine, which, where do to take place this year. and that was the message. russia is envoy, convey to a session of the un security council. can i ask you this is i want to ask old

western colleagues, you have assembled a whole security council meeting just to critique cross several holds in democratic elections on the territory that is administratively politically and economically apologize of all country. whether anyone likes it or not. and in terms of your boast of democratic standards, how can you characterize the single handed 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. to ben waller region in the south, which became part of russia a decade ago, is making its choice due back in 20242014. but the people of try me of voted to join the russian federation. and this election is the 2nd time that they've had this se, on who gets to be the president. among those voting was the head of the peninsula

surgery, i exit off to urge his compatriots not to be indifferent to the countries. teja probably bought a really nice you, by the most, is a beautiful day with voting for the future of russia. don't be in different general stand aside cost fuel. but for the future of our country, the security for development for the lives and health about children and grandchildren. a representative of the ascii and into a poly bantry election assembly arrive as sonya profit is working us on the observer at the election and gave his take on the proceedings sofa yesterday, we were in the tree places and i was very happy and very surprised the people i were at the and the a replaces very, was a very well save god. and a replace is and what are you willing to pay that i think good use because of the central election commission. they have prepared a good job for deputy,

for russia. it'd be country, ease of all the, of the country before. and now of course there's, there's some timberlands, but resend the russia. become more and more strong. we as a, of a long standing corporation with russia. we have a longstanding corporation and especially with allow the we have 60 years of corporation and that together now we need to have a very good present to for the uh, how big and follow the role russia. then i am sure that russia will get success with the election we as an up. so we will go to universal bought production of the incumbent, president's autumn, and put in cash because vote on day one, although he chose to distill remotely online. so aside,

so i'm put in who all the, all the content is in the race. i have them all here. that is love. devon called us from the up and coming new people party from a business man. and he claims to be the young, fresh phrase russian needs right now. and next stop is nikolai cut a ton of he's from the communist party. he's a parliamentary veteran who's been a familiar face in the world of politics for the more than 3 decades. he progressively arrived in the presidential election in 2004, and finally need slootsky right there. the leads, the liberal democratic party, he's campaigns being driven by social issues like tax cuts and tackling inflation. was supposed to be is only the 2nd of the 4 candidates who voted so far as he headed down to his local polling station to have it say. afterwards, he emphasized the importance of exercising the democratic rights.

similar to russia is now experiencing a major moment of truth in its recent history. today, the face of russia and our civilization depends on how events unfold. to day when we are experiencing this moment of truth, we need to be together more than ever before. the ongoing elections come at a 10 stime for russia had met the ongoing conflict in your trade, but such key votes have been held at different times in the past. are these 2 bows has been looking back. a lot of we uprooting prepares to face the russian elected for our record 5th time, which was calling just what kind of russia he took charge of 24 years ago. and it was in a pretty picture, an economy in rapid decline. high claim rates on a weekend military to this a war in chechnya and

a deadly internal track of terrorism. international terrorism was rampant in chechnya, with an intent to destroy the country. vladimir putin had the courage to take full responsibility for the fate of russia. he did an excellent job with this task, so it's hard to overstate just how tough rushes internal security situation was when truth is 1st took office and the new president quickly tackled threats to rushes. internal and external security, like in rush, was fighting it. second war against church and separate. this allied would allow, make fundament list is north caucasus region, church and terrace that struck russian cities and even russian schools were targeted any phone for categories. bloomfield, best land massacre. there was a shout over him over there. we went this for lines gunman, one of the chairs was here, and one of the less good room to fire did some of us just chopping them. so don't

just try to give up. at 1st i thought it was the sound of bursting balloons or something to the guy, but then i got really scared when i saw people smashing windows and running away as fast as they could start him, approved and managed to bring a long lost and peace to the region, considering the veracity of the conflict, this must be recognized as a major achievement early in his presidential through, we are just not able to get together difference. we have already done a lot. we strengthened the sovereignty unrestored, the integrity of russia, the rule of law, and the supremacy of the constitution were restored despite heavy losses and sacrifices. thanks to the cottage and unity of the people of russia. lesson of international terrorism against our motherland was the retails service. still on big and difficult work ahead, but we have turned the situation around and the next priority for proofing was high, clean the tank english and economy. the financial crisis of 1998 and hit russia heard the ruba was the valued 4 times and its value tumbled internationally. g d p

was also trying to inflation. so to an i watering 84 percent big binds, where russians had have most of their cash had collapsed. but again, to tackle these issues energetically and pragmatically pulling worship back from the brink of an economic collapse. as much as economy stabilized proven, oversaw the repayment of all of the soviet union. so this, an international conference began to return to the russian markets. inflation tumble down pre rates into line. but most western countries, food production was secure and crime rate struct. she economic indicators like unemployment dropped to 3 percent on to watch from high of almost 10 percent when he 1st took office. obviously our economy has withstood over the past year. it grew by 3.6 percent. both industrial production by 3.5 percent and citizens incomes real disposable income by 5.4 percent. our growing measures are being taken

to concentrate resources on ensuring technological and financial independence which are already producing results. well, for times we're ahead in 2022. when russia was to become one of the most sanctioned countries on earth, but yet again on to prove the stewardship russia pull, prove it's obvious that they have not fulfilled the expectations. because what was the expectation at the very beginning and beginning of march, end of february, then we discussed about the 1st package of sanctions. the day we'll put russia's economy on its knees. now, russia's me as not the needs needs definitely leave and utilize the economy is suffering more from the sanctions. then the russian economy. look at the sanctions . i believe we need to do more to make the sanctions more effective. they do not seem to make us see putin suffer. instead, you countries have to make great efforts to replace russian products. we have to

admit that those 13 sanctions packages. the 13th not yet implemented, basically had a very limited impact on the russian economy. as we can see from its macro economic indicators. on the international stage, russia has continued to work as a trusted partner to its friends and allies. for example, russian assistance to syria, as soon as the feet of our east, this was absolutely invaluable in africa. russia's forged ever closer links with independent states looking to build stronger post colonial societies. this is reflected in russia's energetic role in driving. i'm growing the burgeoning bricks alliance, of course, and building closer ties with a c on the seo full. i would like to convey the gratitude of the syrian people to you and to the russian government for it and changed the position towards the war in syria. this stance is based on the unity of the syrian lands and the sovereignty of its state. it's also based on denouncing terrorism and rejecting the presence of

foreign forces on its territories. since 2016 many terrorist attacks of a could in my country, and many families have been plunged into mourning. therefore, with all sincerity supporting us over and see we have decided to enter into a partnership with russia, with all responsibility. this is a key partnership for security in our country. it's obvious that moving from a world dominated by divide and conquer to a world driven by unite and prosper, is a passion of vladimir putin in a new unfair, a more inclusive world order seems to be central to his worldview production immune system. the last thing this is only achieved when everyone feels safe and understands that their opinions are respected and that there is a balance in the world. when no one is able to force others to live only for the benefit of a hedge among the many civilizations. and none of them is better or worse than others. they are equal. we are confident that pragmatism and commonsense will try.

i'm on the multi point of world will be established. so as the russian people head to the polls, the world will be watching what some western states begrudgingly, accepting the vladimir pruitt enjoys very highly popularity amongst his people. given the challenges faced on his 1st day in office 24 years ago and how russia's changed about domestic. i'm fond standing since the reasons why speak for themselves about for constantly updated the coverage on the presidential election head over to a website hard to you dot com on they're and online with got you covered the let's turn our attention now to news of to i've the central of gas that that's in

the middle east, where at least $56.00 civilians have been killed overnight and they're all belong. the local health ministry to confirm that these rallies a targeted residential area with many children victims of that attack. the area has been onto a heavy bombardment recently, and this footage from friday shows the aftermath of those attacks locals along with the rescue as desperately such global rubble for victims been while the total power seen in dest, old since october, has now reached that to 1490. moving over to the south of the enclave. flag several casualties have been reported following strikes on friday on the most densely populated city of rafa. houses as well as tens located nearby had been completely destroyed, local se they have root breaking point with nowhere else to go wild disease. honda and ongoing bombardments are claiming the lives of their loved ones every single

day. and if people were sitting at home during ramadan and southern the, there was a strike in the neighborhood. when we went out to see, we found that the building has completely collapsed. there's no safety notes in rafa. or anywhere we used to consider rough ought to be the safest place in the gaza strip. but israel is not sparing us. then i make more than a, we don't have weapons, resistance flight is waiting for you. what can, what israel has done to us? so this is what the them yell has the they see the impact of their actions on civilians and the scale of destruction. i find them of them all the while the is ready problem, minutes, that big a minute then. yeah. who has given the green light for full scale round the sold on rough town bordering egypt. but that's drawing the fee as criticism from cairo, which one against any invasion because we're talking in the hope of reaching a ceasefire. a truce and to reach

a deal to get the maximum amount of 8 supplies in to help the palestinians. and to put an end to this, i mean, and it's impact on the people, as well as allowing people in the center and south to move towards the north. we have also warrant of the expansion of the war as we have seen, the safety of navigation in the red sea and the sweats cannel, need significant impact on the international trade. always we have warrant against, as well as the one that could extend to the north side and all these are risk squared warning off. i'd say that we hope that within a few days we will reach a cease fire and not continue to have a negative development that affect the situation. a talk all the rafa, oppression and risk to the lives of 1500000 palestinians. the even appears to be revealing tracks and the previously steadfast support of these roles blows as i lied. the united states, our position has not changed. we do not want to see large scale operations. and rather that, that don't, unless there's incredible,

legitimate executed will plan to uh, to provide for the safety and security of the civilians that are there are days, middle east bureau chief. i might have an option that has been looking into whether it's 6 months in each row can claim is operations have been successful of israel calls it's offensive and does on a success. i'm on it's how gibbons and relatively low desk, told them on the idea of less than $600.00 following soldiers. what's about tens of thousands of palestinian lodge lost. his real keeps ignoring them as well. this is the biggest concern for the rest of the world. idea if was too violent, even towards the civilians. when you have ministers in the isn't a government saying all the people of guys are not as if i'm a soldier. if i shoot everybody because the mattress. right?

so this, what are the shape told, the army know, you know, some people who does the israel believes gaskins should share responsibility as they elected him, us back in 2006. and it's right to reconnect and says israel, i ronald kelly at coach the militants. group it is fine, 10 against this. the government is terrible because they think that, oh guys are even children. they said children altura, it's not on children. another. okay. they say they will go up to be a tourist. this is exactly what, how much is telling about is what are the babies? they say he's nothing, maybe he wouldn't be a soldier and we'd kill us so well, black to to go and kill him. so now we need to become like come us. even when is really rest cuz it's kills. this is what happens when to is really captives received last month from guys on the mission. however, it claims around 100 palestinian lives has reported by the guys in health ministry

in december. and now there hostage was killed during the failed idea of rescue attempt. a week later, the army killed 3 more hostages after they were ms identified as a threat. differentiating between civilians and find terriers requires determination and intelligence. good in a form is really sick research as agents almost 30 years ago was the key handler of messiah abusive. the song of a high mouse co founder and the group's prominent spiritual leader massage, served as an as really intelligent source for 10 years. it helps prevent numerous potentially deadly attacks. going and says newton, yahoo! limited the practice of recruiting palestinians as collaborators. call it a see to a mistake. even if we had one a good asset source and doesn't want someone to to

say something bad is happening, not 10, not 100 and also 1001. then kristof if the segments mascot within to have even this one because the head of the states and they still nothing, you know, convince everybody don't to worry. we give the money, we pay them and everything would be okay. as a result, and the 7th of october happened, and now israel is waging war almost blindly. when you see that the as well is bombing wives bombing in, in the populated area. now i'm asking myself as a former intelligence officer, i am i, i'm capable of giving the exact intelligence saying in this apartment though, it's always in this apartment of the civilians. i get killed one of the leaders and cut off and don't kill one another. 10000 people in garza which are civilians, is ro, is of to have mass leaders noting doha,

the which also raises some questions in january, solid, irate, 2nd in command of how much is political, the wing and the founder of its military division in the west bank was assassinated in a drone attack in the root days ago. nathan? yeah. who claims responsibility for the 1st time since the killing? he refers to the man as number 4. and that's what it is. we are on the way to absolute victory on the way to this victory. we have already eliminated a mazda is number 432, and one is on the way everyone is mortal. we will reach everyone to see or is all the to many will die on the way when nothing else talks about. ready assessing lighting, eh, if it's in, well, you're not going to be a genius to understand that this as in why has the safety bed around him? of is where the hostages, how are you going to assess the night scene? why without being back the hostages, or maybe you say, i don't care about the hostages. 134 people remain in captivity in gaza. the faith

is a known as a israel prepares for an incursion into the southern guzman, city of rough, or where those hostages could be kept. the chances of survival of fading the lives of about 1500000 internally displaced thousands in the area are also on the threat . his role doesn't seem to care about more casualties and gathering evidence biggest supporter. i sat with them and i sent with the work and i said, look, don't make the mistake. american. american made a mistake. we went after ben lot to we got but we shouldn't have gone into the training. i mean, we should, we should have gotten into know the whole thing in a rack in afghanistan. it wasn't necessary, wasn't necessary. is this cause more problems in the race for the cure and let them? yeah. busy thinks about things, politics about his political survival is not the very eager to finish the war. man, if he would finish the war, we would start,

we are citizens of state prison instead of start asking questions about what happened. it seems that the war and gaza is indeed an act of self defense, but it is not the country that is defending itself. despite the rising criticism, both domestically and abroad, including from israel's biggest ally across the ocean, as well as many others throughout the world. these really military campaign in gaza is going on and on, claiming thousands of innocent how mazda is still there. hostages remaining capacity on israel keeps trying to convince the world that the victories just around the corner was 5 months on the question is becoming louder and louder. what exactly would that victory be? and most importantly, how many more desk will be inflicted? raven ocean, a r t reporting from israel and away from the middle east,

a 40 to win the election is going to be 272. the 2 big national policies, the competition really is between 5 minutes and everything. there will be his link markers on the policy and giving competition to him would be the opposition leader, rob, who's gone from the indian national congress. but there are also probably regional policies, as that could be a concern in case alliances ought to be formed. and that is something that is already happening, both b to b and the indian national congress. the are seeking golf alliances with the regional father he's in is one body's not able to reach that to 72 number then the conforming to the lions and forms of government but who is going to lead india for the next 5 years. we only know that to the very last full discount on the 4th of june. but this is going to be crucial, especially for the bar fusion the party, because that means a movie is seeking

a thought. and this is going to be the very 1st time that a government is going to stay in 5 or 415 long. yes, that's of course, if the parties are on the policy when the selection b enjoy a lot of confidence at this point. but of course, the very last will discount a. one will never know what's going to really happen. all right, we'll wait to see how all of these plays out are decreased by the ends of 100 shaw . my joining is from new delhi. thank you. may to states are set to create the so called correlation to help supply you create and with more weapons. and that's according to the german chancellor who spoke after a try logical meeting with the french president and the polish bon minister. the. i'm a sort of, i think it should be a problem. 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 new.
