a desktop out of the the library putting wins in a land slide as over 87 percent of voters and the russian presidential election back him leading the nation for 64 years. the russian president says he shows a core national faith with his, with his political contender. but honestly, we have different approaches to achieving our national goals, but we have one motherland. congratulations for in from around the world for vladimir putin selection victory with india and china among the latest defend best wishes. it comes in stark contrast to the criticism and condemnation lobbed by the west. the

i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching our t international. our top story, this, our vladimir putin is re elected for a 5th term winning over 87 percent of the vote is russians overwhelmingly backend to lead the nation for 6 more years. the day of his victory coincided with the 10th anniversary of the reunification of crimea with russia, my colleagues, jessica taylor, and the r t team in central moscow take us through all the developments the very welcome to all the international um 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 automated suits and has secured his

victory with more than 87 percent of the vote. so he will be at the home of this vault 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 and himself making a surprise, a parent that i gave there was yeah. dear friends, from all my heart, i agree to all and congratulate you on the celebration under unification of claim you and semester pulled with russia. exactly 10 years ago here on red square and the same stage. i remember the crimea is often called and unsinkable aircraft carrier. this is what led me to the idea of saying that premier has returned to its native harbor, but crimea is not only a strategically important territory. this is not only our history,

our traditions and the pride of russia. premier is 1st and foremost the people, the residents of sylvester phone, premiums. they are our pride. they carried faith in the fatherland through the decades. they have never separated themselves from russia. and this is what allowed crimea to return to our common family, wants to play. the thousands of people flocked to the red square to celebrate and they're celebrating. here's a hand for you. what exactly is the form of reason? it's not just the elections that took place just yesterday. i bought them a put in the one them to buy a loan. but also if you pay attention on the stage behind me and the right thing on top of it, says craig made a russia civil scofield because basically it's the 10 year anniversary funds. craig need a refund 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 political rivals, joined him and they didn't have

a chance to address the crowd as well. so it goes to, yeah, i have just met with my colleagues who travel their own path in the presidential campaign. they are all here. i have invited them much to their surprise to join you here for the celebration. we have different approaches to achieving our national goals, but we have one motherland, and they are here. we have separate all of us. remember how actively vladimir putin has done everything to support the aspirations of crime in people and help them to return home. russia and crimea is one homeland where those times were turbulent, but there was no other option, but to return home or the we remember those happy faces in all these 10 years. we remember the sparking eyes and smiles of those who returned home. those who return to the great russia, i think 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 the just lot of supports and everybody who were just celebrating

very sad occasion. oh so a lot of the country don's under is the trustees. many of them were here mingling with the crowd as well. we had a chance to, to, 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. in the 2nd one, which is especially dear to me, is i'm a crime in the 10 year anniversary of crimea and suffice suppose reunion with russia. this has been a most important event for both crime eons 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 scales where he won 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. i'm in general, i have to tell you basically getting here was a challenge in itself because central most go as being completely blocked, entirely by massive crowds of people working on the sun has already set here in most co park via all the red slides as bright as day i have to tell you because well, so many people have decided to show up here one thing, but i noticed since you left the shipper many don't say trouble to make one, but i want to move in maybe 25 years old. so i'm very, very young crowd. the president, the older generation. and here i just got this crowd. it says it. oh really i'm here. we're seeing far show people done think you've been here. they're

kind of thing carrying on the thing and very, very, very to so a very 1st the most code it but on your own, we sat down with all to contribute to tower read to take through the west, escalating a rhetoric on cry. ma'am, you know, because of the location of where cream premier is, of course, and some of the other locations of the new regions. and they don't keith. nice. the history company is russian. the people are russian, they speak russian, the culture is russian. they voted 94 to 97 percent to be with russia. and to be, you know, under the russian federation, there's just no question. but that's a mandate. you know, it's part of russia. so it's really something and it's really a reach when the western, you know, again, tries to impose their views on, you know, other solver nations like the russian federation and telling them what they're, you know, and one of my concerns is they're going to target crimea. you know,

when i had said this last spring, and i was worried about the things that i had heard from, you know, the bite and administration that insiders there is there was even discussion about trying something with the spring of 2024. so i'm hoping that that information is wrong and i'm hoping it will be forwarded and i'm hoping that cooler heads will prevail and late because that is a red line. and vladimir putin president who made it very clear. if that line is cross that could lead to possible global conflict. as 13, wrapped up, the russian border region of belgrade was again showed by ukrainian full says 4 people were killed and 4 others wounded in monday. on monday, a lawyer and the golf. and it says that as always, it was civilian infrastructure that was targeted with at least 10 residential houses down that you can see fuel cells on the screens the of the secure. and his convincing victory documentation did meet with the 3 of the candidates who are in the running alongside him. so the 3 congratulated the president elect 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 length and breadth of his fost country. just to recap the late from the results all about, it's counted. vladimir putin has secured over 87 percent of the vote. communist policy content nuclei hard ton of he spoke 1st off to preach and he took 2nd in place around 4.3 percent. then you can see on your screen. so i've got this off at dublin. cough you 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 to full place, that was the o t p also landed slootsky audio. i was joined in the studio by don, provided qu, himself was an international observer of these elections. and he gave his take on the west,

in the 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 2 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 that a soft oven calls expressed it. such movements uh, concerns about the on the wall and you crate. but the people who criticize the make it sound as if in the room nations on to will crap 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 child's to run, can you ever imagine in america a true, someone who speaks against idea fox and somebody says, i think we should bomb syria occupied those oil fields to palm yemen. what a true anti 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. and it was some criticism of putin's election in the west re election, landslide victory, congratulations. so also 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 will message about my boots and was the indian prime minister, read from 81 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 privilege to 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 and

a new movie who congratulated automatically within. so there was a lot of congratulation messages on twitter, but also several phone calls. people 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. one of the 1st in fact us to wish a lot to me was the president of well as with all the 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 were leading the way for president vladimir putin is victory. it also marks a long road of vindication and recognition for new russia, a great russia for a multi polar weld and for a world of balance. so elder brother vladimir putin has triumphed. these are good arguments for the world. and for the year 2024. congratulations on windows 10 and

russia are financing on old battlefront. now when you lose your, all of these warm messages from across the board for well developed within this cause, 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. a some also calling get he knew some calling you illegal sound. calling it far with the pointer means that one of the congratulatory one messages at that all according in, from across the world for about the message of the sort of teaching all these messages from the west social states. now the indian to us for as a prime minister that is needing to more the, he congratulated uh nothing may 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 western countries to distance itself from what's good because in the continued if bilateral relationship it's partnership, it's friendship with most school. now very interesting, but the rules also in election year for india and the movie is seeking a code on the election starts some way to april 19th of april and the result would be announced on june, possibly in the few months. so we could see that the support in my to congratulate on this movie and well, let them know if it has been congratulated by much of the world. the west remains study with it's rhetoric in span, only dishing out birds that condemn the election process. earlier i spoke with ortiz donald quarter for more on the story. well, the funny thing about the reactions we've seen from western liter so far is that they've been just as predictable as those same. leaders have claimed the results of

russia's presidential elections for it. but before the results even came out, we already saw the president's of the european council on twitter saying that the elections were entirely dead on democratic. and then of course, once the results did come out, we saw the same predictable rhetoric from officials across the western world. this was an incredibly on democratic process, and certainly him being president of russia. it does not excuse him, of is of his talk or see the violin was slammed. the rest of the elections in russia were in the election without the choice. the election process now totally shows pollutants necessary, his actions against his own people and also against the united nations johnson under shows presidential election was clearly neither free nor fair. the reality is that president poking is the president of russia. we've had to deal with that reality and we will continue to deal with that reality. but that reality doesn't deny the fact that this selection was not something that met any kind of benchmark a being for your for now,

despite these politicians having to come to terms with the fact that they're gonna have to be working with put in for the next 6 years, at least, there's been no shortage of childlike reactions, like a manual macro. and then all i've solved saying that they're just not going to congratulate the russian president on his recent election victory. that's not to mention the reaction we've seen from the main stream media, which is essentially followed in lock step with what we've seen from these western leaders. article headlines saying that the elections are, were stage managed riggs without any serious opposition. and we've seen basically the same message sent out on the television as well. the outcome was never in doubt . this may have been an election, but it certainly wasn't a contest. it was stage, manage the crime and controls absolutely everything including the elections. so what's the point of them are optically enough moscow? so as its the west that actually was trying to reg russ's election, spending over $20000000000.00 to achieve that goal. on the other hand, we also got a reaction from vladimir zalinski, who, despite actually having bands, elections,

or fits, postponed them indefinitely. in his own country, has said that vladimir putin now is sick with power in russia. so with this level of apostrophe in the west, i mean, it's safe to say that it's a good thing that it's not these people, but the russian people that are calling the shots and this country right for more on the election, i imagine lines now in the studio by debbie run the why the permanent researcher for vocational public relations at the university of indonesia, who as nella and the election of server here in russia. great to have you. thanks for coming in this morning to speak with us. so i understand that you observed the vote in russia's patterson republic. can you give us your overall impression on how the process went? yeah, i think we have many take ways for our own country, how you manage the elections, systematically and professionally. uh 1st i have 4 things up for special notes from your election. uh 1st is the about the public communication

because i so here you can manage a professionality, how in you optimize the communications channels like television, redo newspaper and digital to promote all the candidates, a political campaign up fi, sports site in my country. and we still use an outdoor a campaign that somehow it's not really good for, for, for, for, for the pcl, for the c b. and the 2nd thing is at mississippi. uh you have this uh uh, how do we call that the independent candidate in my country? we don't have yet. mm hm. so i think it's a kind of thing that maybe we need to propose also in, in our country to diff a, a more chance to anybody, to be a president candidate in my country. and it's a thing about a technical thing i've been, you have uh what, what do you call that a,

to more i do most that has uh, by having this kind of electronic uh, system that in white country not. yes. uh, we have uh those kind of technology and also how, how i saw you have also the machine been getting help. uh, the electron commission to accounting more of the, uh, the balance. so uh and, and the thing is about the incentive is that the government a day for your people, how you mean it's this democracy event as a rest people because of the way you would give us a free service for vision and then uh how, how they they see this uh, they looked at the event as something that a can a blue uh, they are a social cohesion by having this many uh, how do i send out a survey to,

for all the photos and everything. it's such a grip lesson or i thing for, for my country. so given all that, you saw personally, the western media says that the elections in russia were neither free nor fair. did you see any examples of that? it personally, in your experience, i kept the man with others people. um, a been in because seen this movie. i'm just here and i, i, so how, how fair i'm free and less than that is being held for, for here in russia. so what do you, what, what's your reaction to that narrative then? like, why do you think that the western media says things like that when you personally know what you witnessed as simple as. 8 thing, maybe you need to in find them so they have tons to see by themselves by miss i did work as it is then for your election. all right, fair enough. so the president clinton has received messages and congratulations from many leaders around the world, but not so much from the collective west. instead, they attacked the election,

much like the western media. what can you tell us about how the global south to proceed with russia? i have no idea about about the global sizes because i'm from asia, as i think in our perspective, we need to move forward in every country now in these up a lot of tile uh, situations in the world as the defend to me. i think we need to enhance our calibration in a weekend to me so i missed and weekends and now should focus on having to have to work together to overcome all the informational problem. mm hm. we know the west is obviously not the world's majority. where do you see relations with freshly going with the rest of the world with the countries that have kept ties with russia. uh, uh, uh, uh for me. uh, uh, as being uh, expensive. it has their own. um, uh, uh, interest has their own uh,

proposed. so uh, i guess, uh, it's again, it's time for us of focusing on a for depth of things to get there. then you can make aware of people get a benefit to get that not focusing on the other things that may be can be a burden to both a country and, and in general, what do you think the results of the russian election mean for the world with russian with prep president leading the country now for another 6 years. you know? oh, nice. yeah, it's one of the, a big country hit a democratic lots countries. so i think what happened here, it can be somehow from technical perspective because i'm here, it's going to be a role model when, when, when they talking about the being uh, like i did say again, once again, we need to work it work hand in hand because we have so much more bigger problem like language change and how we overcome the sandwich effect. so i think we need to

focus on that altogether as a thing in the one world. all right, thank you so much. great to have you here to the right, make me permanent researcher for vocational public relations. at the university of indonesia, the americans are struggling to restore relations with news. yeah. are concerned about his potential relations with russia and iran, as well as the normans of military agreements initiated by naomi as, according to the pentagon, depending on added that in order to save the situation and seek clarification and american delegation was sent to the country last week. or 2, corresponding oliver you can get, explains how us pressure on these years. new leaders has shown in effectiveness and has shifted the seeking diplomatic solutions has been seen as one of the laws, nations, and the rest, the region that wasted nations to partner with the 2 beach back rowing. do you, how do you use agencies so much? so that's the top us info we monthly fee return to the capital of news. the last 3

to meet with senior government officials, but that visit exposed to the world. so the features of us diplomacy in africa 1st, the u. s. does not respect the independence and sovereignty of african countries to lot for lot event that i didn't go show in for me. the arrival of the american delegation did not respect diplomatic practices. in fact, it was unilateral, why note verbale that the american government informed the new jerry and government of the date of arrival on the composition of its delegation as well as the new jersey and authorities to be meant without any clarification as to the purpose of its visit it is therefore out of courtesy for on the following all age old tradition of welcome and hospitality that the government received the american delegation america. secondly, for a long time, the united states has done everything possible to co workers as the countries today . coercive diplomacy is a standard instrument and the u. s. foreign policy toolbox. countries around the

world have suffered developing countries bearing the brunt of people, even in this case, music is denied the opportunity in space to choose its own partners and finds itself as a battle ground for washington and paris on this new jersey and government regrets . the desire of the american government to deny the silver in new jerry and people the right to choose that partners and the types of partnership capable of helping them to truly fight against terrorism. 30 american military spies across the african continent. because now intelligence from the u. s, and other wisdom countries indicates that as a result of the agreement, iran could gain access to part of me. his uranium reserves the united states revealed to have today to new see a day is making in the agreements with russia and his want and had made on face to the nations on the am. remember, the new jerry and government rejects the false allegations of the head of the

american delegation to maintain that it has signed a secret agreement on uranium with the islamic republic of a wrong. this cynical approach usually used to discredit, to demonize and justify threats against states, doesn't pos without recalling the example of the 2nd, the rock will indeed need jerry and people, and the entire international community. still remember the falls. they be dense. brenda said by the american secretary of state, before the security council to justify the american aggression against the rock, africa is terra incognita for the u. s. h, a continent to kids, mitchell, and understand even less about in fact, the visit off that used to be cation to music, was only the tip of the iceberg relations between the us and is it shows that you as part of the seen as the cap, is told to make any sensitive and tired. for example, during the crew in these it's the by didn't, administration has condemned the fees all hallway needs, a threats and the withdrawal of all who is age. if the constitutional order is not

restored, pulled some assistance and demanded an immediate release of presume, o economic and security partnership with nature, which is significant. hundreds of millions of dollars depends on the continuation of the democratic governments unconstitutional order that has been disrupted. let me be very, very clear that support is in clear jeopardy, the lights um and the view on how they want to proceed. and it does not compose with the constitution of news. yeah. so again, we were very frank about what's at stake. we kept open the door to continue talking, but again, it was difficult today and i will be straight up about that. however, after the june to took a hard line, the case for my colonial power from forcing the wood to the french troops in place for nearly a decade. but you is issued statement saying that washington would not would full with soldiers for music, contenting itself, retreat, positioning some of its forces in the country as if it was not threatening

sanctions. not so long ago. we want to speak with barkers with new share again and the national council for the safeguards of the homeland. most pulse would be a good partner to the united states in our discussions, i come from the intent of the united states tourism security and development corporation in phases. specifically as the cnsp take sections. 6 us to on to me j as in contrast res responses to add the recent international crises and on take overs that include the nearby so done with 5 to erupt. it between 2 rival generals in april. then american diplomats and security forces among the 1st foreign is to shut down the preparations and sit down and fly out. this shows just how the u. s. is eager to maintain its military base in, in the z, the presence of which to, by the way, also correct arises american diplomacy in africa. she is home in 2017, several american soldiers with children busy during classes with military. some

send it to were saying they did not even know that you essentially it's in the shape of questions. the slow ball to the rate of the kill for you is service me. i didn't know there was a 1000 troops and niger they're going to brief us next week as to why why they were there and what they were doing. and we don't know exactly where we're at in the world militarily and what we're doing. so john mccain is going to try to create a new system to make sure that we can answer the question while we're there. we'll know how many soldiers are there, and if somebody gets killed there, that we won't find out about it in the paper. now ask yourself, what's really left full that you is to do? mumble. we are aware of the statement from the national council for the safe guard of the homeland and usually air which follow spring discussions at senior levels. in the i made this week about our concerns with the cnsp is trajectory we are in touch with the cns be and we'll provide further updates as warranted.
