their expectations. this is the 1st name or thursday you ready to oversee. i vote for the one who is a guide in the me that if i am working for them, whatever they're seeing before getting elected to david, obviously promise to abide by that and davis pursued, or those have on my suspicions on the main body would read that to megan, be off more to and manufacturing sector basically. secondly, i do my job opportunity should be created for the new york who they can and don't see pro force. and because there's a lot of intelligence that are pretty much scammed. so that's right. i guess, you know, we, i think they're good, wonderful job. what are you, are you want them to focus more on the health sector? otherwise, i think everything they are actually doing fine. i believe the good is it seems a little then we must be and so, but uh, overall as

well to main coalitions are competing for control of the conflicts parliament and post of prime minister. the national democratic, a lines comprised of 38 party is led by the ruling bgp and incumbent premier there in the morning. they are off against the indian national developmental inclusive alliance, consisting of $26.00 opposition parties. not block is led by the indian national congress party, with a group spearheaded by a familiar name, but i will done the song all former pm rajiv down. the will the opposition to choose this, the incumbent government, all violating democratic principles, including media and religious freedoms. that's a charge. new deli, very mentally denies. well, one prominent commentator who's toasty watching the elections is, were non bollywood. dr. a new palm curve. we will also send you show, let's talk about it here on r t. he says that leadership of no random body has brought

a strong sense of pride to the nation. india is especially very strong. we can color this, but it's a little. but now with in the last 10 years, i'm sure to finally and then that also in the mid term is within the last and the, especially under the leadership of, i'm the, some of the, i think we, uh, we of, it's proud to say abroad. and i'll be at indians, people look at it once again, the menu say the passport has it's in buttons when you say after your name match the other day. and then it's the kind of coverage that the country and the kind of explanation that family some movie is given to a former, not of mine who is wanting to do something by and he encourages everybody, he encourages a sports people in good. his uh, the army people, me included is everybody's a grid encouraging like a father to go to the old national denali the. they need somebody re look up to some, i know that he's a politician, but there is a politician. there's

a prime minister who sort of makes us being that he's the family on our teeth, were injured and sharma has been covering the 1st day of the nation's election from a specialist studio in the heart of the indian capital. the big is democratic exercise in the wall. it is on the way he already india, as a 1000000000 people were world. oh, well, the next 6 weeks, the 1st phase of the election started today, around 100 in 2 constituencies will bolting all for the full $543.00 total fall and when fi constituencies that the number again will be played on. now for us, it's not just the world's biggest elections, but it's also one of the most expensive elections in the was some estimates say that around $14000000000.00 will be sent by political saki to water is really most,

as in india of thought. i'm the know who they want will to the wonderful thing about elections in the at least is that you, you never say die. it's never over. the last feeds is counted. remember that india has 514 ccs which are currently in please. the 1000000 plus people are working and they're not sending you which way they're working. so the surprise element was still on the 4th of july with the image that india has out. there is a lot of criticism that we're seeing of india, the elections of no regions, and we will the lead to be in the western presses. well, what are you seeing? that's the, the reason for that is in one word. it is anxiety, anxiety because they don't know enough about demand anxiety because you don't have a handle on him and anxiety because his ambitions seem to be so pro maxima did

not confined to just the boxes. we don't know where he's headed with that. so that's not something that the, the, the west or any fall for global combined. and they will be comfortable with. and that's okay in this can live with. that's what we're closely watching. vs and songs sold in india, hundreds of millions of citizens to take to the post to choose their next leaders r t dot com. how's the full schedule of the election as well as plenty of details on an analysis of how the ongoing votes going just to point out here on era twice a day in the coming weeks as well. we will continue to bring you special coverage of india's parliamentary elections, which were run until the 1st day of june. the

foreign minister, a circle of her off. i shared his views on the stand off between moscow on the west, in an interview to a select few prominent russian journalists ortiz, editor in chief, marguerite, that someone young was among them. a gosh, busy solution adds up the every day we have from the west is that they will not come down until russia is strategically defeated. an everyday mor morgan is threatening to become, as it was mundane, more and more terrible to every one tells us. johnson and the others that if we don't win on the battlefield on waste, any call this will put an end to the hedge and many of the west, which means navy, the west in general, as it is. and the most little smells like a big pool. i do not know what nuclear weapons and people who smell like god forbid i find out. what do you think about it? is there such a prospect of where you will get to those or you can just don't go. this reflects

not so much of religion to attitude as agony and hysteria. they're not hiding it anymore. they quoted johnson cassette that you for left russia when would be the end of our head. germany used to, but this is just an appearance in the international court of justice, guilty of violating the main principal of the un charter on the sovereign equality of state laws. and i think the international court of justice should pay attention to this. there lot of states and seeing the same thing, we lose our influence and russia will work with china, north korea, and syria to make this world. this does not reflect her self doubts with quite the contrary. reflects to our understanding of what is going on. they call it a battle to preserve their jeremy, no longer shining away from them. but this is simply the formation of a new multiple order and an equal justin democratic world. or the 1st thing is that the journalist asked him of that, of course, was ukraine. and one of the central points they wanted to know more about was, why did piece talks breakdown in ukraine very soon after the start of the military operation of a 2 to 3 weeks afterwards. at peace, thoughts from the table. there was talks in bella, roche there was talking, is done both now and the pulse were progressing. and he was asked if it was

a russia's priorities were on the talks. and he mentioned that, you know, discriminatory laws against russians in eastern ukraine and dumbass on that fine be it would be removed. and he also is categorical in suggesting that it was the youth case and do united states for to a range. you claim, even if you like, 1st of all as their present costs, it reminds us we always prefer negotiations to fights and wars. and yes, we had experience, we mediately agreed with ukrainians, realizing that they were playing with the bombing of don boss and with the promotion of direct methods of genocide against russians on their own territory. and they offered negotiations $2.00 to $3.00 weeks after the sort of the special meals or operations to which we agree. it's just the day before yesterday for the 1st published such memoirs, but they're very, very clearly aimed at just to find themselves. i'll explain why. now for in the 1st world that the united states and britain details of landscape not to sign but allegedly not because they wanted to continue to work with the hands of the ukrainians and exhaust approximate federation and distort russian civilians. but

because they saw the proposal contained the formation of a group of guarantors of ukraine security with the participation of russia and china. but also with the participation of the west, it became wary and there was an amazing reason why the beginning where yes, well they will sign it now, but suddenly disagreements will not be fulfilled again. and someone will attack ukraine suddenly and frustrated self will attack your crank, and then we'll have to fight with russia as the guarantors of ukraine security. we don't want that. it doesn't make you think that doesn't today how many times in the suffering they could have been saved if those pay stubs how that works out for them anyway to a positive note. now, because the problem was, i spoke about the, the pond as the bushes pop, those people in the country that they do have a good relationship with me. one of those key partners, of course, is china. china has the back to back. but russia since early on it's refused to implement sanctions. it's refused to play the game that the west has demanded to do so. and the interest of the associate level of also mentions china is

a suggestion around a piece plan for ukraine, just around the the chinese position, which we respect back in february, last year the formulated there 12 points. and now schultz went to caesar in pain and not very decent police at that session pin supports the peace conference in switzerland. the chinese post fishing is that we must 1st understand the root causes of the crisis is necessary to abandon the mentality of the cold war when we considered each other opponents. enemies is necessary to clear the subscribe to the need to look for solutions that will take into account the balance of interest in the field of security and ensure the indivisibility of security. this is a completely different approach while russia is portrayed as somebody that those of one piece, i mean, even in the global stage it's, it's russia that's looking for the escalation in the middle east. the escalation, when it comes, if i want to. and actually the escalation and ukraine, as you can see, there are willing to attend the talks, but it was the west to pulled your brain away from those thoughts. he described the western leaders as in some ways, you know,

absolutely obsessed with this conflict. this idea that they can inflict a strategic defeat on russia desperately need to get money out of their parliaments to continue the war. in united states, you can see how they have already cooled down. i don't know how the world will and now the drama this weekend on the consideration of 3 different bills, including on the crate, but now the most sell us ones who advocate the continuation of bumping ukraine with money and weapons are the europeans. they're already so unequivocally rude, and in general, having already cut off all past declares atrocities anatomy that it must be destroyed, not allowed to win to save you crank, they'll just be finished as politicians if they change this rhetoric. secondly, they need to give money to explain why they've already deprived your population of cheap gas to pipeline oil. why price of jump y d industrialization is taking place as a result of sanctions. and even from their point of view, the countries, the conflict, they all have a choice in a month to 3 for their national elections to the european parliament and in a huge number of you countries. but i think the opposition will not miss the chance in any case,

to show what their policy has led to in terms of social economic consequences. so again, fascinating language, interesting language. and you can see the exasperation that you know, the west is essentially decided that russia is the enemy, rocher can only say in the account, it can never be sent against in ukraine or anywhere else for that matter, but also a sense that rush, it is pragmatic. that the door is open for peace negotiations with those no ghosts, negotiations have to accept and realize russia's legitimate security concerns and the read shape. always nicky are in tip getting us through that earlier. another story to bring you today. a robin's president house defended last weekend strike that he ordered against israel in retaliation for the deadly bombing of the uranium consulate in damascus. if at home, but i use the same as countries responsible as a vital show of force. you know, how many your visa duration became a sign of the top of the slug republic. and these armed forces of all these move was necessary. you'll probably get your e mail me fine,

and the souls of tribes and pop of our great country about statement comes and made reports of an a legit is really attack on around a spokesman for the uranium civil space program, say street roots were shopped on over it is for home city, which is known for hosting nuclear research sites around has been race for a large scale response from west jerusalem. one week ago, the as law make republic, last hundreds of drones, missiles out israel, which claims to have shopped. most of them done earlier on april 1st center strike kills 16 people out the are really uncomfortable. it into 3 and capital is real initially denied responsibility. but later in directly admitted it had targeted the building, claiming it served as a military base for coordinating homeless opperation following its retaliation to the attack around and said, it's ready to head back with much greater force if any of its nuclear facilities are attacked by the id f, israel's main ally, the us bands,

it wants to see the escalation. we're committed to as real security. we're also committed to, as the escalating to trying to bring this tension to a to a close. well, in anticipation of his really military action, crowds of a really and so i've been forcing, there are full throated support for the islamic nations. government ortiz use of july. the reports from the grant in tara, in the capital of the country, have se, wow, is after the weekly friday for you. additional support for the recent history . serious on april. what they do as far as well

with the mouse, are to see people who are holding latitude for home furnishings, as well as all of these days that they are just so far. the act of self that has to do to future is where the goes to the wrong space division reveals the reasons for our ballistic missiles cannot be intercepted by the higher the western world was. nuclear activities, this part of the destruction confirm a whole nature of the country is thomas programs there. one has never any prospect confusing a nuclear weapon, but it seems that is well to resort to some

people say, well water who is as well as it was the 1st to pull the trigger by targeting their warranty and military figures. so the current situation remains on a nice as is where the officials waiting. there are next exchanges between the 2 sides. one vision and course change reflects that could potentially use for regional call for their sessions continue to rise on track when we spoke to political analyst on the visiting professor up to around university to heat a, somebody who believes that around is not interested in further escalating the volatile situation, as i think is really arc, strictly speaking, are not in the position to conduct such attacks regardless of the statement that they are making. but let's just keep in mind the amount of touch upon that question . but let's just keep in mind. iran does not is not interested,

that's all in further escalation of the situation and has said that before or several times for several reasons is really are not going to do so. i think at 1st the previous attack, the retaliates move on was limited. but the next it's happened is not going to be that limited. it's going to be certainly extended as was the retaliatory attack was part of eros capacity. but yeah, there are, have been saying that this thing to use full auctions uh, full range of forces which see, okay, let's say capacity of it's me size and drawers and not to do is transfer you boxes to respond if any attack takes place. and for the last attack, if you remember the cost with outside that these really is conducted into some nearly 2 weeks if i'm not mistaken to respond. but you're honest saying that this time did the respond is going to be immediate. and last but not the least, iran has already tested the defense capabilities of these really. so there is some

experience and these are, these are in there that there are also the state of the art technology and in the rose messiah. so with that said, i think only know that they are saying that they have this intention to target significant places in a run, including that size or other no fear size, but whether or not to expect to be translated into action remains to be seen. and it still looks very vague. returning to an animal we spoke about earlier in the program, the president of botswana has accused europeans of quote prioritizing elephants over low cost and has threatened to send $30000.00 all of the large animals to germany and the u. k. to demonstrate the dangers of living alongside them. the statement coleman's image rising tensions over tensile trophy, hunting in port bounds, proposed by berlin. and i get the sense that they think these elephants are bets. i

get the sense that many seeing these elephants are human beings, and the majority would perceive the value of these elephants as superior to human life. and what's one, why don't true for a moment, the experience leaving with them? that's why this offer was made to yourselves to have them in hyde park, a very complex value based policy problem since. but so i now use home to over a 3rd of the countries. um alex is a management decisions have major consequences on the spaces as a whole. and it all started ada. this deal in germany is environmental ministry flow to the proposal to impose scripted limits on the import of hunting tool feed into the country. out of concern for poaching. presidents i'm gonna put through my system, believes that cause a vase and i have caused the local elephant population to balloon to nearly a 150000. and that hunting, the mysterious little component of population controlled before the giant um animal . at this point, the president says it is very easy to sit in berlin and have an opinion about

apricots as between the 5th those europeans. if they lived among other funds, like we do, they would respond exactly the same way. perhaps they might be more brutal because they have a much stronger gun culture than we do the movie as in bob boyd, even so that we have all tried to reduce the number of a low facility, a tibbetts feed at certain points of, but nearly all the methods and ways of doing so have been met with criticism, or rather outside condemnation by your roaches. and what so many or rather the europeans seem to not understand at this point is that the region that has a sustainable or rather a carrying capacity of effort. and that to the overall population has resulted in several instances of conflicts between the animals and the people. and in most cases, benefits have been both the village is causing damage to crops, feels the african countries the standing,

the ground at the open be calling the band a neo colonial, interfere with, with this offering to ride, to sustain the use of popular this to say as we expanded on this with global affairs on the list and commentator victor hawkeye, who sees the west either doesn't care or know about the day to day priorities, the difficulties for the people of both one. i'm indeed the continent of large. no one is your program like you um, switch to rarely on the ticket position of all what you direct from the stump of your facebook page, the prototype of humor, which means it is your drugs i 90 miles desperately. you want to be for drugs or a man. yeah. so you won't be stuck between mazda or mas, 1st of full. do you want to be sure to? and so i think like yours, right. it said that it's, it's a lot better products more than us as africa,

the from apple edition. another me there why they've been see what it looks like. the united states has reimpose sanctions on venice will, as oil and gas sector, washington claims caracas has failed to ensure for elections and the loss of the american country. nicholas magoo ro, and his representatives have not fully met the commitments made under the electoral roadmap agreement. therefore, general license 44, which authorized transactions related to the oil and gas sector with venezuela will expire after midnight and not be renewed to implement. but i want to, i always wonder in the face of threats and sanctions if they think they can scare us. there is no sanction, there is no threat that they will home the efforts to build a new productive economic model. am today, we don't depend on anyone in this world. we only depend on our own efforts for to,

for the going 3. well, the nar revoked us license had a lot of venezuela to freely export its fuel to america. over the past 6 months, in return, caracas agreed to implement a road map to ensure a competitive elections. nicholas, my bureau is taking a 3rd term in july's presidential vote. washington supported anti government protests. you may recall. the tried to oust mister madura after his previous re election in 2018. we heard it mentioned a moment ago. us general license 44, which washington scrapped had authorized the american companies to import and sell business with an oil and gas new investments in the countries energy sector were also permitted. while the flow of supplies to the us have allowed venezuela to repay some of its foreign debt, quite a big issue with washington. now it saves companies working with venezuela,

have 45 days to align with the re imposed restrictions. those that want to keep doing business as usual, will be able to apply for a specific authorization from washington. however, a separate license was being quietly left intact by the u. s. to a lot of companies including chevron reps all in any to keep importing venice willing fuel supplies. well political, it's still go secure. shared with us his take on how the us sanctions at bolstered then as well as cooperation with other countries and integration, particularly in the region or how this all stands. it's actually all good for business. if you have a more lively safari shade relationship, not only when it's what it looks like it's at the bank or at least the next step would be on russia and china. but you also see how it's. busy become the major

partner with most of that in america, and how this also implies the possibility to start testing. so people, i'd say should the experiments in order to be the solver in truth and all the activities in the same, you can say about the way they are also cooperating on many aspect pj, experiencing that are coming up in america. such a security agriculture technology in general you. ready c name able to see that. ringback so that also tells you which one since the one way or another going. busy speaking of sanctions, they were also a major topic of discussion of the new era, new ways for them taking place here in moscow, the event gathers together representatives from many countries to brainstorm ideas

for essentially a new modernized world order. we spoke with a dignitary from india and recalled his country's experience of dealing with sanctions. such is what russia that's doing the, the sanction. so all of these are the speak to this also shows in a part you need to find solution for this problem because then happy new status is very u, as in boy sanctions on india to go back to me and said ok, so we want to do this i'm in the doctor and working on it and develop their own technology own systems to bypass those. uh, thank you. so by you are forcing ties itself for the countries and by you finding the solution to those problems. like for example, 11 good example is india continue to buy a while from low to and from what i show on the india has a huge of the defining capacity. so the toilet ortiz from the shell,

despite the sanction and the cold war. and was it before and due to diesel and petroleum was used for gasoline and cars and addition fuel and dr. in, in the export performing near to you. so europe inside of getting an ocean oil, which is a defined by and so you said mutual benefit to india and to the ship despite the the europe empowers b or d, u. s. a to lee. and the other way, are you doing it as of why you already buying it? so let's say our lives are, they have dominion. so you want us to find a new is all for opportunities in these sanctions items. okay, the wider run vacations of the very much influx, middle east conflict is done for discussion next, catch peter and guess for another slice of course talk auction the.
