all the candidates only manage just over 10 percent between the company's parties and you called like had a ton of how it was run a rough with the new people parties, largest loved devin call, was wanting for the 1st time coming 3rd in china has become one of the latest countries to congratulate, loving and putting off as election victory. that's in contrast to the only woods of condemnation from the west. the . so welcome to the latest news update on our team to national i a michael quarter . and now we're continuing to bring you a special coverage of the russian presidential election after 3 days of voting with nearly. busy the ballots now now counted,

lot them of put in has one more than 87 percent, meaning he will leave the country for the next 6 years. in 2nd place is nickaligha ton of from the communist party with just over 4 percent of the vote. then in 3rd is a lot, is lot devon called approaching the 4 percent and training the pat case early on this little scale with just over 3 percent earlier this morning. the central election commission then of it's assessment of the whole voting process, noting a 77 percent turnout and that's despite the number of sabotage attempts are these days solid dimansky spoke to us some of the commissions headquarters of what the election cheese had to say. and she mentioned $12000000.00 tax on the system during the election process a, it's a huge number. and despite that, people still to indict and manage to vote, we had some 86000000 people voting in the selection. but i want to talk you through some of the bit she said about the cyber attacks. specifically,

she said that they were full $120000.00 attacks. this was specifically on the online voting website. this is where some 5000000 motion citizens were registered to vote. and attempted to make that vote, she says that they will also be c d o s attacks on traffic to the website where people cache, they both. and she said that all the different attacks meant for 40 minutes over the last 3 days. that side was fun, move on to those attacks. but she said, despite that, despite all of the intimidation and she accused the west of being behind these attacks on the online platforms, she said people turned out. she also talked about to talk to the terrorist attacks of drones in residential buildings. and she talked about those individuals who lost their lives when they were attempting to vote. although sewage attempting to monitor the process. and she said, despite that there was no ability to influence the results. the technology that had

was invented just for pilots. she called these been pathetic attempts, and she said that there was this use of fortune and close if trying change the results of the selection. well, put the impossible to change what we've seen, which is a long slide to election for president preach, and who will now says a 5th to him as president. and i just want to bring a one story that we heard from one venue incorporated regions. and we had the, one of the individuals who was working in the election office that was actually killed as a result of one of these attacks. and apparently, within a few hours, her son turned up to a place to it because he won't to all the memory in that way. by deciding that the best thing he could do is to stand in his mother's stat and ensure that people could come and cash the balance. that voting was wrapping up on sunday evening. vladimir put an address to the russians from his election campaign headquarters.

here are some of the key points, he res introduce the scale despite the terrorist attacks and you and i already know this, well, the citizens living in these territories have shown not just civic majority. they show coverage and continued to show it, no one as i thought, assumed and said recently, no one intimidated them. and it is impossible to intimidate out people. there are turnouts, both in the new territories and in the border areas. the turn out is even higher than in the rest of the country. it's simply a response from the people to the actions, trying to intimidate them. those who do it, don't understand who they're dealing with. but in part, maybe it's a good thing that they don't understand because in this case, of course, they will be defeated. now they are trying, again, trying to get somewhere there to enter. they were destroyed. almost 100 percent of them were destroyed. they moved forward by 100 meters. 25 tanks were destroyed. the enemy has concentrated a group of around $5000.00 in the border area. not directly on the state borderline

but somewhere in their immediate rear. but the overall loss is about 40 percent. of these about 35 percent r, irrevocable, $25.00 tanks, dozens of armed vehicles and so on. if they liked it that way, then in principle, it suits us because they mindlessly attack, it's such a meat grinder for them. it's even beneficial for us, let them try such a good. it was a few days before mister nobility passed away. some colleagues told me not administration officials. some people said there was an idea to exchange mister invalid me for some people who are in prison in western countries. you can believe me or not. the person who spoke to me had barely finished his sentence, but i said, i agree. but unfortunately, what happened happened only on one condition that we exchange him so that he doesn't come back, let him sit there, that's all. but it happens. there is nothing one can do about it. that's how life is. if you want to know my opinion on whether our elections are democratic or not,

i think they are democratic. conversely, in some countries, for example, in your country can be considered democratic to use an administrative resource. in order to attack one of the candidates for president of the united states. including using traditional authorities, we have no preference for any of the candidates for president of the united states of america. we will work with whoever the voters trust, but the use of administrative resources, the judicial system. it's just become ridiculous and a disgrace to the whole world for the united states and for your democratic so called in quotes system. i have every reason to believe that we do not see any democracy, at least during the electoral processes in some western countries, including the united states today. therefore accept the return pack please. i don't think you use that simple after all, these are not completely stupid people sitting in all the institutions that have been working against our country for decades. do you know what their problem is? in my opinion, it lies in the fact that after the collapse of the soviet union,

there were a very large number of specialists on the soviet union who could not do anything else, but fight the soviet union. and then with the russian. and that arose in part of the territory. so they began to convince their political leadership and the public of their countries that they need to continue finishing, rush off, and in such a way that they themselves will not be left without a job. but still new generations of specialists are coming. they realistically assess the events taking place. i think they will be more sophisticated, but they will not change their goals with regard to russia. but my colleagues were doing the earlier this morning by our 2 senior corresponded broad guys. do you have who outlined the key reasons why president put in his getting so much support from the russian people? blood to me, a people is a brand name, carefully cultivated, carefully cultivated, something that screwed over the is. but why you shouldn't a russian vote for me? let me look outside the city. the city of the country is growing. the

g d p is growing. wages of growing good europe. recession single digit, less than single digit growth in your a point, not point 6 percent, d, e in fraud sold recession, recession in germany. and then they ask why people voting for food. and in this environment, russia sang should help you. that is what they call them. sanctions from hill rice and they wonder why people are voting for people because you will sending me solves to be funded by some cities. there is of course, a national spirit. people want a strong leader and this is in every single country in the world. you know, a presidential election is always a popularity contest in it who will be a stronger leader. i must say, here. vladimir putin has a huge advantage over the other cabinet. it's absolute huge advantage. that is his

track record. when he says something he, he believe was, gaped about russia that couldn't feed itself rush, it depended on you when she met us area and then aid in 2000 feet. it's population now. 20. uh oh gee, is vladimir putin came to power washer is the biggest export of food products food stuffs in the world. not everyone voted for booting. though i do want to talk about the other candidates. nikolai hard ton of was the runner up, representing the communist party gains more than 3700000 volts, 3700000. that's good. that's quite a lot of people who voted for him. we've seen throughout russian's election history, the candidates from the communist party do tend to come in 2nd. can you talk a little bit about cartoon off and, and why people voted for him? we'll look at, of course, eat, eat the it would be a very strange will this, if everyone agreed the caught me in this, whoever ton for, for the,

for the other old, you know, we're going to try again who, who we'll get this capitalism that has a prospect didn't buy shop in the in recent years and they feels disgust. they feel that it is in fact that there are the one present to us. so rich and new to us to prosper us. and then there's everyone else, the 99 percent, who, who we have to wake up every morning work and, and you know, they, they didn't see that way. just go with the same pace. there are uh, the liberal democrats who, who uh, who have their own ideas about the future of russia who, who have a much more populace to, to them. but ultimately subsets, can you talk about linens slootsky live? what about the bunk of what, what about the vancleav? cuz he also got what 3000000 votes of of the blood us off the phone calls. i mean, i think 3200000 for him. 3.7000000 for nikolai, how to turn off. i mean, what, like rituals, 2nd piece of not small numbers. you know, 3 minutes of this got this party 3000000 to this party. it does say something,

right? the 1000 say a lot. there are, as i mentioned, that said that, you know, millions, tens of millions of, for example, pension is too large. and the so the period who remember the pride that they felt when you regarded month of space, the of, of the soviet union's space program over the equality that, that was, of course they, they, they, that they have those style just about the soviet period. they want that with tons with they remember the price of the bride to bots, the, the pots that stood out. you have the younger generations, the younger generations who believe the younger kind of the large me approved least off the role of the 70 years old. they see this, this, the value of this cabinet is who was 40 years old, who, who publishes a much more prosperous business oriented future in which every russian could be in the entropy. and he, he wants to, in this conflict as quickly as possible. and they see him as

a best candidate and they cost. busy vote for him, but ultimately, ultimately it was old who promises people, so there is no track record to any of these cabinets that they haven't seen about which is a huge disadvantage for them and the selection and ultimately the russian people of the russian people made their choice, yeah, 87 said while more and more countries in the global south congratulating president, putting on his victory the west backs to different artes martin that close out of a delta into the details of the international rift and opinions over the vote. we are getting congratulations poor and then from all across the world. busy of the statements from coming in from countries like bolivia, nicaragua, to just on breakfast on me, on moss, also we had the cuba oven as well, which won't get to the 2nd then just recently, china has spoken out saying congratulations, of course,

and also about russia and china are each other's largest partners and also got their comprehensive strategic incorporated to the partners in the new era, which is exactly what vladimir putin was saying in his victory speech that russia is on a new path, on a more independence. so from past, which was the goal and the mission, all vladimir who said, but like i said, again, we're getting congratulations from different parts of the world. are we waiting for breaks countries to join then a little bit later as well as the african continent. but so far were also heard from other one as well and present as well as the echo the sentiments of pretty much most of these leaders that were heard from so far that this is that the results show that this is a convince of victory. and also that the russian, the people have spoken and they clearly risk so clearly support vladimir fruits in the future we've moved in 87 percent of the vote pollutant has completely won the war against the collective west. it demonstrates the values of the russian people

who are leading the way for president vladimir pollutants victory. it will say marks a long road of vindication and recognition for a new russia, a great russia for a multi poto weld and for a world of balance. so elder brother vladimir putin has triumphed. these a good arguments for the world. and for the year 2024. congratulations clinton and russia are triumphing on old battlefront. as for the wes, we are here and nothing. there is mainly silence. just to read you some of the headlights of fresh off the press right now in the u. k. for example, all these people that are sending the congratulations of the leaders all of these countries. apparently they're just sports because this is what the headlines states . that's what so for us to congratulate boots in after his child a x and victor. of course, we've heard that this is the 2nd time election before the election. the even started with the president congratulating vladimir putting before the board and event started. as i said with a landslide victory, but of course, even they probably could not expect that the results with the so high that support for a lot of everything would be so hot. but again, they claim that this is all ashamed that the elections are face. and the other

headlines that i'd like to read is western leaders dismiss of hooton's, illegal poll victory. there's also a lot being said in western media about this awkward silence, where in fact, it's really awkward for the west north. it's not so much for russia because there's lot of everything said last night in his victory speech. he said, well, what do we expect the, what's to be signed up in applaud? no, of course not because they are fighting us militarily. so russia is not expecting to hear congratulations from the west, but in fact, the headlines likely to show exactly what is going on, and to be quite frank, diplomatically speaking, it's awkward for the west because when it comes to diplomacy, they should congratulate the presence of the country regardless of their feelings, if they want to continue their relationship forward and they will have to, because a lot of my boots and will be in power for the next 60 years. so they'll have to sort of speaking eventually. so perhaps congratulations would be a nice start, but that's just now my humble opinion moving forward. i'd like to also point out something that maria's a harvest set when she called out the double standards of the west. because we

heard from the german foreign ministry again that the election, of course on there, i don't for you. but the main issue that there is so i think is the fact that a lot of my put them is in power. once again for the 5th term like this is the 1st time this happens in the world. we've seen this time and time again. benjamin netanyahu in germany themselves. they look to the angular merkel 4 times. so it seems to be a problem when this happens in countries that don't do what they want them to do when they don't play by the rules when they don't play along. so no, we're not expecting to hear anything from the west is more headlines like this about a lot of may of who's and being the best. but the fact that this election is all assigned, but we are expecting to hear more congratulations from the the rest of the world was low, as we know is very, very large. the archie correspondents collab multi and it has also been helping oversee the voted here in moscow to join those. earlier this morning to talk about the reaction from the united states. as we actually heard the us state department

go as far as saying that they would hold accountable those who observed it like myself, i was an observer of the election and it's pretty wild because of the argument they have against the election really just comes down to the fact that the russian president has been in office a long time, and i always remind people that in united states we have a very beloved president named roosevelt. and he was elected in 19321936 elected again and 1940 and elected again and 1944. and why? because one, he had acted a lot of economic reforms that really improve people's lives. and number 2, he unified the country to defeat denazi's and you know, stand with the soviet union and china against fascism. so he was widely loved and you know, both of my grandparents on both sides. uh they were republicans, but for them roosevelt was just the president. he was about politics. he was kind of a symbol of what have gotten them through the period of the great depression in the 2nd world war. and so if you look at that and you look at bad history, you know, we're not taught in the united states that roosevelt was a dictator. no one considered him to be a dictator. it's just that he was

a leader that stood and you know, sees the moment and delivered and achieve great things and became kind of the, the symbol of, of national victory national recovery. and i think that's a way we can look at this election when looking at it through an american lands. of course, us leaders don't want to put it that way in putting has been in power for a long time. this will be his, his 5th presidential term. i know that you, caleb, you took part in the role to use for them. um, earlier this months in so she, a lot of young people, they don't know russia without putting putting, let's be honest. it's not a young guy, he's 71 years old. i'm young people feel about him. well, i got to tell you when i had the opportunity to be in the room with the russian president with 300 other young people in the adam hall there. and so g at the world, the festival, and i got the opportunity to ask him a question. there's just something about him. he has this way of engaging with people. he has this charm that it's really hard to put your finger on. i don't think it comes across through television. you have to be in the room. what time you can see. this is somebody who really takes politics seriously and has

a really deep understanding of how human beings relate to each other and how our society is develop over time. i thanked him for his very dynamic interview with tucker carlson because i said it showed a different kind of leadership in united states. politics is all that sound bites and scandal gossip. that's not the approach he takes. he draws from the history of this country and of this region going back thousands of years, you know, developing a more scientific view of state craft. yeah, i mean, i'll just jump in quickly because, you know, when you go to talk of costs and sitting down with purchasing one of the things, i think one of the big tsunamis that came off that was, it was the fact that people on the west, particularly americans were given the opportunity to realize they've put in as a, a very well spoken mind. he's a very intelligent man, very well educated. he knows its history, he knows all of his economics. he throws out numbers all day long, and this poor old joe biden who doesn't know what he had for breakfast today. right? indeed, i mean, it's frightening to see joe biden. and also what's even more frightening is his vice president comma harris is less popular than he is terrified, which is,

is how can you be less popular than joe by? so, you know, it's, it's very frightening to look at. and you know, you have comma harris and you, you see her on the cameras where she's just kind of repeating these phrase handling . and yeah, i mean, this is very disturbing. i and, you know, people look at donald trump and you know, there's a possibility that he could win coming up and it's a very big possibility. he could win at the polls, but it seems like our political establishment in united states has circle the wagons and said that won't happen now. a lot could change between now and november when we have the us presidential election, but it's not looking good. and you know, being here and seeing the election here and then contrasting it to the election i'll be covering in a few months in the united states. it makes one do a lot of thinking about different types of civilizations. it's not a surprise that we have not had words of congratulation coming out of the white house for president. it is victory. i do remember when the last presidential election, when, when certain was like re elected on the trumps, the staff gave him

a note saying do not congratulate. and then the trump got them, saw it, and called to it and congratulated him. i mean, what are your thoughts on the difference here? well, i, again, there are differences within the us establishment when it comes to russia. now, there are a lot of folks in the trump camp that say the usa could get along with russia and then team up with russia against china. but anyone who knows anything about economics knows that's not going to happen. russia in china are closer than ever in terms of economics. right now. it's a base the relationship based on trade, you know, during the cold war, it was a political difference and, and the sign of soviet split. and henry kissinger, we can talk about that in history. but right now, russia and china are economically closer together than ever. and that bond has been solidified by us sanctions on both countries. right. you cut off both countries, they're going to trade more and more with each other. well, not every country has been showing up to pass on their congratulations on the united states side of the russian poles with not a free know, fast quality german, branded the post as a pseudo election. independent us politician, dion said,

believes thoughts, accusations only highlight west than he book received. i saw an article in the new york times to denouncing russia for extending the elections to 3 days, which i found quite hypocritical because here in the united states, now we have an election. he's been, it's not 3 days that's weeks on end. and the counting is weeks on end, and i found it somewhat humorous that they, he said, having an election period over 3 days made it easier to commit front when our election sees and now extends over many days or even weeks and months. the western mainstream media has become simply a propaganda machine for more and let me also express my the concern of that, i understand that russia had to stop or successfully intercepted 35

different drone attacks coming from the direction of ukraine. i believe even a couple of civilians may have died in belgrade. so the kind of harassment of the electoral process there i think is just out of reach us. the western media also by the way, has lost many of its listeners, as you may know, until they manage to stop people from being able to access our tea very well in the west uh cnn. these mainstream oregon. hardly any, wouldn't even listen to them anymore because they have found them to be so remote from on people themselves experienced or believed using their own judgment, what must be occurring in the world and in their own lives. i think the election with this over whelming show of trust and support for pretend indicates the

situation in russia at least it's stable. i think that's good because it does. it creates the conditions for this crisis. this situation to be finally ended in a calm and irrational manner. unfortunately, it doesn't appear right now that there are many people in the west who are prepared to do that. evaluated today, we were joined by joseph guy, a senior member of the ruling party of tons in here for shit. his impressions of the russian election i came here was of mentation, also observing how people have plucked his demo cuz he is promoting the lead as a, as a freely towards out of date for plans and options for what. so i can me and amid into this thing, everything was quite a smoke. we had,

we had one of the election observers earlier, actually telling us it was a bit boring because he said he said, i'm looking for discrepancies. i'm looking for problems. i'm looking for some sort of anyone's stuffing about anyone's throwing green ink or what he said. nothing bad happened of the come on. you're going to tell me something, but you have nothing to do. he was expecting to see that, but we didn't do been observed when close all problem with that action. so it was quiet. most of the many, many hundreds of you guys, i mean, international observers from, for how, how many countries 808-0909 countries, most of us have international presence here. yeah. yeah. yeah. we've seen plenty of praise for the election coming in from the global south, but in contrast, western countries not quick to stand up and congratulate, didn't in fact condemning the election throughout. do you think that in any way the live the legitimizes, the result? well, why, why did you think that we're seeing such a discrepancy? everything in this erections very organized and dietetics and jim as committee was

very organized in terms of the odd clauses from the technology is allowing people to vote in a free any way. but also, you know, in our country we would notice different things with to how he, at the public dizzying democracy in special ed or not an option. so, you know, in our country you can be, did you start in the suns, peter's book and the day of voting you and most call you can devote, but here you can be just, i didn't say be the day of watching you like the last call. you can vote it is that to us is. so that is a dentist. that means you create a lot of number, most people to vote and to use it. it will cost to choose who they want. we had to africa, russia summit in st. petersburg last year. i met so many well delegations from africa and they was so positive they were so optimistic, there was a palpable energy. how would you describe the relationship now between confident and russia? to me, i can say this is

a time full african tool take a chance, has to be very close friend who has solutions in terms of technology and everything . because you guys are doing the best, i understand what, what, what, what, what, what solutions, what solution dable can see what's last, yup, what it takes and how people as they are taking positives here and um, and after got with it. and i think most of the country is, should land here how the practice they are they all the process of getting lead as we go live now to stay get mohammed the motor and the political analyst in a to around university professor. it's nice to have you join me right now, profess on their id. now even think to iranian president, brian rice e is among the many leaders who have got to make it a lot of and put in all these extra victory. what impact will this result have on the ron russia relations?

hey ron russian relations are evolving and the 2 countries are growing closer to each other. and i think present proteins, re election will serve to see meant that relationship and further the cooperation between the 2 sides. right now we have the north south transport cord or that is being developed, which will link russia to the persian gulf and give you ron access and those who wants to trade through your ron access to russia and central asia and by the rule. so the situation is evolving in a positive way and it will continue to do so under president putin. and present ready see now for our leaders saw him across the globe by sending good wishes commons on the west of falling short of being comes out. congress late 3. what accounts for these very different reactions, despite the fact that in ukraine election is what cancelled out and as far as they

are concerned, it is okay. if i could see if the west is known to everyone by now, we see the dentist side in gaza that the europeans and americans are supporting. they have dismantled the facade of human rights. and as you pointed out, with regard to brain, they dismantled the 5 facade, the being supporters of democracy, even though that was gone many decades ago. for those who were more into politics, i think um, europe, in the united states are increasingly becoming isolated across the globe. and they are very upset that the countries like russia are becoming stronger and more assorted and independent of uh, western pressure. and i think to.
