voting dropped on the pond. congratulations to blow them or pretends election wind up come in from around the world with a can the and china among the latest. and then there are best wishes that's in contrast to the criticism and condemnation heard from the west the from most go to the world. this is our to international hello and welcome to the news. our the con thing is now don't in the russian presidential election date is vladimir putin who will officially lead the nation for the next 6 years after securing 87 percent of the vote. my colleagues south, dia taylor and the r t team and central law school can take us through all the development surrounding us on a day marking a special on the verse, reading the countries recent history to

the a very warm welcome to our see international. i'm 12 beautiful panoramic studio, which is of course just outside the kremlin rules. it's from here that we have been keeping an eye on this 2024 russian presidential election. so what do we know? 3 days of virtual balance accounts counted, lot of met boots and has secured his victory with more than 87 percent of the vote . so he will be at the home of this vast country for the next 6 years. people across the russia today also celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the reunification of the black sea peninsula of crimea with russia. and a huge celebratory concept was held on the state and was couples of red squad just

behind me was like my boots in himself making a surprise, a parent that i gave there was yeah. different. but it is my heart. i agree to. oh, and congratulate you on the celebration under unification of crimea instead of us to part with russia. exactly 10 years ago here on red square. on the same stage, i remembered that claim here is often called an unsinkable aircraft carrier. this is what led me to the idea of seeing that creamier has returned to its native harbor even though, but crimea is not only a strategically important territory. this is not only our history, our traditions, and the pride of russia because cry. mia is the 1st and foremost, the people of the residents of the, of us, the full cry me and they are our pride because they carries, facing in the fatherland through the decades. we have never separated themselves from russia. and this is what allowed could, i mean, to return to common beautiful families, thousands of people all around me. is this

a big, big concert? lots of happy faces and lots of pressure on the flags. and if you pay attention to the, to the same to the stage, right, we hardly says, cried, made a rush to serve a stop of 10 years to get the that's because pay a people on just celebrate the results of the election of the presidential election of course, but also it's been 10 years base been 10 years since the crime made up resigned and then became part of the russian federation. again, a lot of my food was not alone on the stage when it comes to my profile gets out of account. it's under his, the political rivals joined him and they didn't have a chance to address the crowd as well as what they had to say. we're ship it all of us. remember how actively vladimir putin has done everything to support the aspirations of crime. me and people and help them to return home and yet russia and crimea is one homeland really those times where turbulent. but there was no other

option, but to return home or the we remember those happy faces and all these 10 years. and ever since we remember the sparking eyes and smiles of those who returned home, those who returned to the great russia, i will never forget the sense of pride i had for my country and for my president exactly 10 years ago is this way? congratulations, no, of course it was me just a lot of support and then everybody moves were just celebrating the say occasion. oh, so a lot of opponents, the company dons under is the trustees. many of them were here mingling with the crowd as well. we had a chance to talk to some of them the other today. i most definitely celebrate 2 things. that was the 1st is the flawless and undisputed victory of vladimir putin. and the 2nd one, which is especially dear to me, is i'm a crime in is a 10 year anniversary of crimea. and so i suppose reunion with russia. this has been a most important event for both cry, millions and russia as

a whole. and the most important thing here is that our people have rejoined our one big family and those from crimea feel like a part of it. and you brought up a computer that rushes regions demonstrate great unity. now somewhere vladimir putin. one more of those else where he one less, but everywhere he's in 1st place. so society is now consolidated people from all new regions voted like that because they understand now after years of being bombed by their own country, that russia is the only force that can and will protect them. now we are here and we thing the off president we are we got processing, we are here with process. i'm been general. i have to tell you basically getting here was a challenge in itself because central most go as being completely blocked in pilots,

by massive crowds of people working on the sun has already said you're in most co bug via all the red slides past, right. as they have to tell you, because, well, so many people have decided to show up here one thing, but i noticed didn't take you off the super many. don't take the trouble to make one, but i would do more than maybe 25 years old. so i'm very, very young crowd the president of the generation. and here i just got this crowd. it says, oh, really i'm here. we're seeing far so people don't think you can just kind of flip being getting on the thing and very, very, very choose to. so a very 1st the most go, a 13 wrapped up,

the russian for the region of belgrade was again showed by ukrainian full, says 4 people were killed and 4 others wounded in monday on monday, a loan in the gulf. and it says that as always, it was civilian infrastructure that was targeted with at least 10 residential houses down that you can see for yourself on the screens the of the securing his convincing victory vitamin did meet with the 3 of the candidates who are in the running alongside him, so the 3 congratulate said, the president elect, i may express that they will absolutely willing and ready to contribute in any way that they can and to help address any issues that they talked about and raised during that road. campaigning unlocked the legs and breasts of this vast country. just to recap the late from the results. oh, but it's counted. it's not, i'm a teaching has secured over 87 percent of the 1st communist policy content nuclei. hard ton of he spoke 1st off the food and he took 2nd place around 4.3 percent.

then you can see on your screen. so i've got this off of dublin cough who came and said perhaps disappointing, but a new face not a bad showing for an incredibly young and kiddie a very vicious pass and someone to watch out for in the future. and then of course, rounding ourselves through the 4th place, that was the o. d p also landed slootsky audio. i was joined in the studio by john provided who himself was an international observer of these elections. and he gave his take on the west, in accusations about the lack of democracy in the vote. it seems like it was a great exercise and in democracy, i mean, 1st of all you had a turn out of something like what a 77 percent. that's extraordinary. to put it in one way, a 3 capitalist candidate say add a communist candidate that came in 2nd. so in the united states, i don't have a socialist candidate to choose from. i have to capitalist candidates who are

basically the same. i can choose from one who's completely senile and the other who's basically a carnival barker is that a soft oven calls expressed it. such movements uh, concerns about the on the well in ukraine. but the people who criticize the make it sound that sits in the room, nations on to will cracked true and people can't do that. so just to, to a penny that just, you know, put the club now pavements. right. but i mean, you're an american, see, you know, american politics. it is literally about the big box. it's about the lobby as a super packs the donors. if you've got the money, you've got a chance to run. can you ever imagine in america a true, someone who speaks against idea fox and somebody says, all i think we should bomb syria occupied those oil fields to palm yemen. what a true onto will can do that. have the opportunity to run for office in america. no, i mean the one candidate we have a couple of candidates that are running on those types of platforms. one is cornell, west who will not make a dent in the elections and he's getting no coverage. bobby kennedy is running

somewhat on a piece platform. he also is getting no publicity, he also will have a hard time even getting on the ballots in all 50 states, but even he is very unconditionally supportive of the i d f. but amongst the 2 major parties, the 2 parties that have any chance of winning. and the last candidate that really tried to counter that are the last president who really tried to book that was named john f. kennedy and he was murdered. and i really think, and i said this last night, i think that the republic died with him and we really have been run by what president and president eisenhower termed the military industrial complex. there was some criticism of putin's election in the west re election, landslide victory. congratulations. so all still coming in from of the pockets of the world web. that's china. been his way to nicaragua, as a bridge on batteries just among the many nations,

the latest to throw in his little message about my boots and was the indian prime minister run for moody. one, congratulations to mister vladimir, putting on his re election as the president of the russian federation. i look forward to working together to throw those trends in the time tested, special and privileged strategic partnership between india and russia in the years to come a whole lot of countries of congratulated dog johnson airport. then you can just go on and on. really, we just heard from the indian dramatist in the region would be who congratulated automatically within. so they've been a lot of congratulation messages or twitter, but also several phone calls. we've also seen all focused on, in fact, i'll reach out and, and basically congratulating bother me within. they're also saying that the whole there is a hayley cooperation between the 2 countries. the force in fact us to wish a lot them it was the president of when it's been

a long term future policy and 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 clinton's victory . it also 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 our elder brother vladimir putin has triumphed. these are good arguments for the world. and for the year 2024. congratulations from one to 10 and russia. i'll try and sing on old battlefront. now one of your, all of these warm messages from across the world for well develop with then of course this vest and there's no surprise that which is sort of size king right now . and you can really make that out from the kind of reactions that you're getting a, some calling get evil the election, some calling it's repression. some also calling it, he knew some calling it illegal. so i'm calling it far with the pointer means that

what is the congratulatory more messages at that all hoarding in from across the world for about the message in the sort of a would teaching all of these messages from the west social states. now the indian to us for as a prime minister, that is a new movie, he congratulated uh not that may have put it under the, the relationship between india and russia has been very, very strong in the last few years as well. with india was under pressure, had had several strips coming from a, from the west, in con, fees to distance itself from west coast because it just continued if bilateral relationship it's partnership, it's friendship with most school. now. very interesting, but the roof also an election year for india and the movie is seeking a code on the election starts some waiting, april 19th of interest, and the results would be announced on june a possibly in the few months. so we could see that the support that might

congratulate done with some of the well, the congratulations to pearson coming in from the global south are and somewhat stark contrast to what we're hearing from the west. the outcome was never in doubt . the kremlin controls absolutely everything, including the elections. so what's the point of them? this may have been an election, but it certainly wasn't a contest. it was stage manage. you says the election to place and what it called a highly restricted environment. such a reaction from, uh, western officials and even in western media didn't really comes as a surprise, especially after pumping so many billions, so severe taxpayers, money into ukraine and into during rush us efforts and ukraine. i mean, it would have been strange if they started celebrating, putting this real action. just if you look at some of the headlines and what they say, calling this election a sham, a fraud, you know,

fake illegitimate and so on. you kind of get the ad should really quickly of the vibe around the selection. if we look at some of the official comments, i'd say they wouldn't really different much from this general tangle of media coverage. this was an incredibly un democratic process. and certainly him being president of russia, it does not excuse him, of is of his talk or see, there's also been a reaction from france, for instance, the french foreign ministry said that russia failed to create the necessary conditions for a fair and free election. the head of the european union's diplomacy is rosa barrel . he said that the election lacked fairness and openness, and he said that it quote unquote, it was backed by repression and intimidation. which is kind of interesting because it just the 2 days prior to the start of the vote, the european, the parliament officially said that they were not gonna look after the selection that they were not gonna pay much attention to it. but i think mister

a barrels the, just the remarks they just prove that it's simply impossible. i mean a for, to talk about some random tiny, exotic states, somewhere in the i don't know, pacific oceans and sure you could probably ignore the presidential election there. but we're talking about the biggest country in the world with a nuclear arsenal. it's simply impossible to ignore the election of the next president to the french of the president mcroy on his extra he made some comments. now he says that he can congratulate food and on his victory because of the recent debt to offer us as a position activist, so that i'll exceed the bombing. but i think the more the most. so i'd say what you should, comments and i would range these the comments actually from a plane from disapproval to condemnation and then just plain. it's just

a really strange comment that came out of last year. the president of the country says that russia just simply should not exist. i mean, how do you actually evaluate that? and imagine if uh, save, letting me important made a similar con, the comment regarding lots. yeah. i don't think the reaction would be as bold, but of course there was also a comment from vladimir zalinski, the president of ukraine, who's called this election illegitimate. but he actually has raised criticism from one of the french politicians, the head over the patriots party. who said that zalinski, when he doesn't have a saying this, because he actually cancelled the presidential election in his own country just which was supposed to take place with march. the height of impudence zalinski this morning, he allowed himself to criticize the russian presidential election. while he himself had cancelled the ukrainian presidential election, which was scheduled for march 2024 after having already cancelled the parliamentary election in his country last october. just to wrap up sort of the international

reaction. i think that the, the, the fact that there's, there's, there's a different reaction of those will support russia and congratulate inputs put in right now. and those who are basically condemning this election. it just shows that there's a, it shows the bi polarity of the world, which is actually something that put him and he's allies are trying to build and it sort of shows that it already exists, which definitely intimidates people empowering the west. the southgate taking us through their the special coverage of the presidential election 2024 in central. i'm also gonna ortiz election hub. now africa was also closely following the russian. all it will go during list of the midterm,

gonna discuss the result and how it could influence events on the continent with a panel of experts. is this is vicki by congratulating the people that i should follow a successfully the to coordinating. i have moved into money and they just did voters in the last year and a 1900000 abroad is quite a phenomenal feet. there is a sense of, of integrity and fairness, an eviction and the use of technology. i think as time goes, a whole lot of countries are going to start the, you know, deploying more technology and to make a elections easier to account to include a whole lot of people because people wouldn't be able to stand in line to vote that able the other mckenna isms to participate in the democratic process. what do you make of international observers and the importance? and being part of nixon, russia, they will come to more than $56.00 countries as opposite of us into the election. because with the strong sheets that these are the kind of function is that going on

against russia. russia nice. we have, these are the list of, of the, of us know to say that it was controlled by the state or each was it because she, for whatever they'd like to call it. this is to prove that these way for elections, these with democratic elections invest, let me bring in the system. so me some reaction from the west also includes them calling these russian presidential elections legitimate. when you see reaction likes that from the west, legitimizing the presidential elections in russia. what do you make of that? well, of course it is again with the argument with the observance is the way i see it. the reason why they also don't want of services in russia is because think about this situation where observers go any, say no, they're rushing it and make sense of a free and fit. now this damages the whole image that has been created and the western world about what russia is,

that rushes this dictates us here. and then in this situation, that's not reality. so it will be counted to the narrative that they've been trying to paint all these years is not glad to. i agree with the u. s. and some wisdom kind of this in that and uh, and then definitely sanctioning those people have participated in observing is not that i don't for anybody to stop. so and i know that those people and i hit and then they did participate in their lives. the visions and good for them and, and then life in this model to port out. well, that's why you're new for the motel that's on a list of just so that list will be built, cannot be due to is by one peasant or one powerful individual. unfortunately, in many countries, democracy has been influenced by external the democratic outcomes have been influenced by external forces and that is dissolved in people losing confidence in the credibility of, of evictions. and none of the lease

a link to participation the participation of peoples of the voice of the people is very important. but we must be conscious of even if we look at sawgrass because the, to the side know the way the ways to side to manipulate the elections way. the, the ways the side to manipulate out economic policy, the way they tied to manipulate outside and policy. unfortunately was in africa, we asked to be cognizant of that kind of influence. and of course, as one do this pointed out the even side to undermine the elections in, in that i should deal with the u. s. was trying to you me to make those elections just in being that's it's the steps the another 2 steps, the auditorium. so i would say that's in a freak. i swear and welcome to have pets of disturbances. but it's all about like 3 or 4 size on his, that's s. we a building to us to do more crosses or we must gets into attendance as well. of

building our own systems that fits localize deals and local conditions. it must be rationalized abstract it. we'd been so also consider she is going to come from africa itself. now that prisons allowed them to pretend is going for another 10. what do you make all the few to a confirmation between russia and pets, africa, and lots of south africa agenda that the continuing on breaks it? do have an agenda that is going to be continuing price. yeah. africa. so i means that i've been having to defend 3, and all of those programs and positions that have been taken would be implemented because as much small cooperation between africa and i showed them before. and, and what we actually already put them is as proff. let's see the orange to also be all type and then sort that right able then to bring that one too. but also begin

to do colonize lessons from the way things out. i mean, and then not begin to move in that way that would make our interest as africa for faded. we are looking forward to the continuation with regards to developing a multi level of, of, of yeah, a multiple multiple levels. and then also the continued efforts to transform multi lateral organizations is very important for us. okay, to more news, the french president has made a sharp view turned in his approach to the conflict in ukraine. after recently suggesting that nato troops should be deployed to fight alongside tabs, forces among them a call now wants must go to initiate a cease fire for the duration of the 2024 olympic games. i think the tell them to cease fire during the olympic games the much to it. it has always been like this. it will be asked. yes. that was in an interview to ukrainian medium. now

reminder of the introduction olympic committee slot, russian on, beller, russian athletes with a number of restrictions that had of the power as gains set to kick off in just over 4 months. only some 40 russian fleets may be allowed to compete and not will be under a neutral flag and comes as russia's power lesbians have been found from taking part in the opening and closing ceremonies of their games to moscow's olympic committee says it will not void caught the summer event, despite all the restrictions of french political, endless p or a menu ultima. nicholas markovich shared their take on president mccullin's 1st the moms with us earlier. and i would have to say that finally in my little rock macro has come to reason and he sees that the only way out of these complexes, negotiation and peace. unfortunately, he is very known in france as the president of on and all that means at the same

time, she says black in the morning, white in the evening. and i think he's again playing a double game. this is not coherent with what he's been saying. these past days, rush or bashing, saying that russian was not a great power saying that france ms. do whatever it can to stop rush from winning. and then all of a sudden he says, well, we will ask russia to go to practice to choose during these are the intakes. uh because we are investing the spirit of the, of the big games. this makes no sense. this is not at all aligned with what he's been saying these past weeks and fury, infuriating his own military partners. i think we have to understand the statements and on the door of the jump where he's got to see if constance's all for ukraine and losing ground being the crisis against russia and or for the to. so you leave order about this fish or you presume

back home is trying to find a way to just chopped in the saw or rush out. and uh, so i'll find a civil for more gaining draw on the new crazy to appear a manual to mount, taking us to the end of the block. but it is a visit to the modus operandi studios next for a host. manila chub and guess discuss a lesser talked about issue in the spring on the come face declining population. and well, that's along with the deepening possible field was a lot in certain future phones means for kids going the, [000:00:00;00]

the 1918, the countries of the west won the final victory over the ottoman empire. the sultan's government capitulated to the inside and signed the humiliating armesis of little girls. great britain and france, and a delay wanted not only to destroy the ottoman empire, but also to divide the prime orderly turkish lands among themselves. in 1919, their armies began to land on turkish territory, but the west decided to choose greece as the main striking force. seeking to make others realize this aggressive glance. for an intervention, provo, mass, indignation among the turkish people. the national liberation struggle was led by

the experience general mustafah come all as a 3rd in order to bear down the enemy, a bank on the mobilization of the nation. and the alliance with russia, which acted as a united front, with turkish patriot. at the end of august 1922, the third's army won a decisive victory over the invaders in the battle of doom. libby not and within a month liberated all asia minor from them. the impressive success of the circus army force the west to make concessions. in 1923, the loss on these treaty was signed turkey. one of the 1st countries in asia manage to defeat the colonial empires and defend its independence. becoming an example for in the millions of the press on the planet. the
