is influx. israel no longer has its volunteer to turn supremacy what is called the access of resistance is challenging israel and unfortunately it's western patrons. the pool will lead to india, the most popular country, the fastest growing economy. for the next 5 years. we bring you a special election coverage over the next 6 weeks as the premium people go. also ahead this our rushes foreign minister and pushes back against western narratives on ukraine. small school promotes piece talks instead of continued fine taking a while to us and all i see to the feet. russia on the top of this reflects not so much of religion to attitude as agony, and he's there and they're not hiding it anymore to go to johnson for sensitive blood pressure. when would be the end of working? generally under random calls. it's retaliatory strike on israel last weekend,

unnecessary and show or force coming as the as nomic republic, braces for a large scale idea for us forms. we report from the to run where locals are rallying and supports on their govern. people site as well as it was supposed to pull the trigger by targeting their warranty and military figures. so the current situation on a nice edge the from must go to the world. this is our t international. hello, and welcome to then use our people in the world's most populous nation, are taking to the polls in this general election is being held in 7 stages over the next 6 weeks. which station is now closed? following the 1st day on voting on, our teeth will ensure you don't miss any of the moment stuff,

not her. as we bring you special coverage of the major event. the will close to 1000000000 eligible voters can how they're say that is over 10 percent of the planet. the election wraps up on june 1st with the results to be a nice 3 days after that. now, on friday voting took place across 21 indian states, and the big numbers keep coming. the large scale election requires more than a 1000000 and pulling boots on an excess of that 15000000 workers to oversee it all . let's have a look over here because the ball it is taking place in many at remote areas. so some pulling machines must be carried there, and horses and even elephants talk about pulling out all the stops at voters by the

way, have indelible ink apply to their index fingers. a method used to avoid fraud while the world's most elevated pulling booth is also being used, located as far off as 4650 meters in the himalayan mountains, while around 18000000 people are voting for the 1st time. here's what some of them told us about their expectations as, as the 1st name or the receiver. obviously i voted for the one who is a guide in the me that if i'm working for them, whatever they're seeing before getting elected to david obviously promised to abide by that and davis pursued or those demands. my suspicions on the body would read that to make and the more to and manufacturing basically. secondly, the job opportunity should be produced. would it be near you or who they can and don't see pro force. and because there's a lot of intelligence that are pretty much scammed, so that if i it, i guess,

you know, i think they're doing wonderful job. what are you or do you want them to focus more on the have guess or sector. otherwise, typing everything. they are actually doing fine. i believe the lady as good as it seems a little then must be. and so, but uh, overall that well, 2 main coalitions are competing for control of the country's parliament and post of prime minister. the national democratic alliance, comprising of 38 parties, led by the ruling beach ip and then coming premier no. and the movie on the other side is the indian national developmental inclusive alliance, consisting of 26 opposition party. south block is led by the i n. c with the parties spearheaded by another famous indian named ro, down the saw on

a former p. m, rajiv down the while the opposition accuses the incumbent government, all violating democratic principles including media and really just freedom. that is a charge, new deli categorically denies. what ortiz written to insure on that has been covering the 1st day for us of the nation's elect, as big as democratic gets the size in the wall. it is on the way she already knew as a 1000000000 people were world. oh, well the next 6 weeks, the 1st phase of the election started today. around $102.00 constituencies will bolting oliver, the full $543.00 total fall and one feed constituencies that bill 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 spent 5 political sol keys to

water. but really most as in india of thought, i'm the know who they want to go to. i don't think of water going to be moved by what is happening in the that's the world in terms of geo politics or conflict, a whole lot of this or that. some people what exposure though best, who have interest in the west, minnesota. otherwise. therefore, they are sensitive to these trends. bodies have very, very, very small minority in the heartland of india, where the voting is there not even aware of what these things are you using the u. k. in conflict or what is happening between a 100 and is that i or in the south china sea, this and that know they will vote on hardcore bread and butter issues. uh, development issues. but let me tell you something as well. so the 17 also

recognized political parties in india. how many of the engine i just and just to the was ordered as democracy. we sort of once with these democracy to the rest of the world, citizens don't have a choice. is either republicans or democrats that see it, and even amongst their, if you read what is the state will be in dental view us no more because it, it all depends on 7 states. the rest of the states has given me the demo grad, they'll be republicans now compared to that, look at the look at of a democracy. so the extremely sensitive about any individuals in the election process by to the press to even official statements. like in the case of germany and the united states, picking up the cause of opposition, politicians that in defending and not elections. so i don't, i find it very disappointing that the washington voted new york times of the economy is to financial the times that they hold targeting in indian democracy

instead of looking at the positives already. the fact that if indian democracy successful, then democracy in the world is successful. when we talk about people that i think what we're saying is that the ships in power back in my god, says 1945 should be reflected in good global governance in the united nations with financial and political institutions. that they shouldn't be most base. what a country like india, we had an older civilization, $16.00 of them entity, a timing democracy. like, why can't we have create a, see how the luxury govern itself and the principles on we shouldn't be govern. because we see a lot of double stand a lot of double standards and thought of frustrating of all kinds. where closely watching the votes in india, where hundreds of millions of citizens will have their democratic say over the next month and a half r t dot com. how's the full schedule for you all the election as well as plenty of detailed analysis of the ongoing violence and here all there throughout the

day, i'm in the coming weeks, we'll continue to bring you special coverage on india's parliamentary elections, which are run until the 1st day of june, the foreign minister, a circle of ralph, shared his view on the stand off between moscow. i'm the west in an interview to a select few prominent russian journalists. ortiz, editor in chief, mark, leader simonian, was among a gosh, busy solution adds up with the every day we have from the west, is that they will not come down until russia is particularly defeated. and every day, more and more just the front end 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 in this will put an end to the head germany of the west,

which moves and never use the west in general as it is to understand most it will smells like a big pool. i do not know what need clear weapons and people who smell like god forbid i find out. what do you think about it is there is such a prospect of what you will get that those are, it is doing good. this reflects not so much of religion to attitude as agony and history, and they're not hiding it anymore. you go to johnson cassette. thank you for let russel wins will be the end of our head gemini used to, but this is just send it to you in the, in the international court of justice, goodness, guilty of violating the main principal of the un charter on the sovereign equality . i'm sick was and i think the international court of justice should pay attention to this for a lot of states and seeing the same thing. we lose our influence in russia. we're working with china, north korea, and syria, to make this world. this does not reflect or something else with quite the contrary, reflects to our understanding of what is going on. they call it a battle to preserve their jammy, no longer shining away from them. but this is simply the formation of renew multiple order and the cool 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 around the table, there was folks in bella rush, there was folks in istanbul now, and the, the pulse were progressing. and he was asked of, it was, russia's priorities were on the talks. and he mentioned that, you know, discriminatory laws against the russians in eastern ukraine and dumbass on that. finally, it would be removed. and he also is categorical in suggesting that it was the you case and united states to a range you claim. and 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 when 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 a 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 to just to find themselves. i'll explain why. now for in the 1st world that the united states and frequency tells the landscape not to sign, but allegedly not because they wanted to continue the world with the hands of the ukrainians and exhaustive national federation and the store of 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 frustrates self will attack your crane. 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. it is how many lives 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 rebels i spoke about the pond as the bushes pump,

those people in the country, so they do have a good relationship with me. one of those key partners, of course, is china, join us the back to back. but russia says for the young, it's refused to implement sanctions. it's refused to play the game that the west has demanded to do so. uh um, 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 they formulated their 12 points and now schultz went to seizing pain and not very decent police at that session pin supports the peace conference in switzerland with the chinese post vision is that we must 1st understand the root causes of the crisis. it is necessary to abandon the mentality of the cold war when we considered each other opponents enemies. it 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 has a completely different approach while russia is portrayed as somebody that those of

one piece, i mean, even on the global stage it's, it's russia that's looking for the escalation in the middle east, the escalation of groups, 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 pull 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 ukraine, but now the most zealous ones who advocate the continuation of pumping new cream with money and weapons are the europeans. they're already so unequivocally rude, and in general, having already cut off a path declared that frustrates anatomy that it must be destroyed, not allowed to win to save you create. they will just be finished as politicians, if they change this rhetoric. secondly, they need to get money to explain why they have already deprive your population of

cheap gas cheap pipeline oil. white price of jumped wide industrialization is taking place as a result of sanctions. and even from their point of view, the conferences the conflict, they all have a choice in a month to 3 for their national election. so the european parliament and then a huge number of e u 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 rusher, can only say in the attempt a can never be sent against in ukraine or anywhere else for that matter. but also a sense that a russia is pragmatic. that the door is open for peace negotiation with those no ghost negotiations have to accept and realize russia's legitimate security concerns . and the re runs president has defended last weekend strike. 90 ordered against israel in retaliation for the deadly bombing. they'll be a reunion consulate in damascus. if it came right, as he said,

his country's response was a fight will show a force you know, how many your visa duration became a sign of the problem of the slug republic. and pete's armed forces of all these move was necessary. you'll probably get your email really fun and the soles of tribes and pop of our great country. well let's go through it because that statement comes and made reports some of the legit as really a talking around spokesman for the rainy and civil space program. phase 3 pro square shop turnover is for home city, which is known for hosting nuclear research sites around this being bracing for a large scale response from west jerusalem. one week ago, the stomach republic launched hundreds of drones and missiles of israel, which itself claims to have shot most of them done earlier in april. first, the nurse try killed 16 people up uranium consulate in the syrian capital. israel initially denied responsibility,

but later in directly admitted it had targeted the building, claiming it served as an military base for coordinating how must operations following its retaliation to thought it took a run, said it's ready to hit bach with much greater force if any of its nuclear facilities were attacked by d i d f. israel's main. i liked the us planes. it wants to see things come down. we're committed to is real security. we're also committed to de escalate to trying to bring this tension to a to a close. well, in um dissipation, all this really military action cries of armenians helping, voicing their full throated support for the islamic nations. government ortiz use of july, they can take us through as the capital of the country. have changed. riley's after the weekly friday for you to show support to reset

the see on israel streaming retaliation process serious on april what they view of the fonts for as well with the mouse are to see people who are holding foreigners expressing gratitude for punishing as well as all of these days that they are just so, so far the act of self that has to do to future actually goes to the wrong place . the vision, you know, i mean, reveals the reasons for the minimum power. ballistic missiles cannot be intercepted by the higher the western world was. nuclear activities this find the destruction confirm

a whole nature of the country is comic programs there. one has never any prospect of using 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 just pulled the trigger by targeting their warranty and military figures. so the current situation were based on a nice as is where the officials waiting. there are next exchanges between the 2 sides. one position and course change reflects that could potentially use for regional call for their fresh has continued to wise on track. okay. something else to tell you about today, chad has become the latest nation to show washington the door. and jemina is told the us to withdraw its troops, roman army base,

and the central african country. the statement came from the dean or force chief who said the american presence is no longer legal, regional journalist, him and feel base or can tell us more. a hi there of diplomatic and sovereignty surrounds the relations between the united states and lashondra and military authorities. also a chief general interest on an almost issued a notice to be you as the french calling of the united states military activities in the air based object closer. according to the statement in outline official letterhead, america fails to provide for the documents of bilateral agreements, just define, to state up to face, also a prior notice to do so. just a force has ask the americans to provide the documents or but that's what agreements just to find the presence at a g co say advice in response to 2 agreements screwing on logistical support and the personnel between our 2 states. but just air force did not receive

justification of the us presence. charged air force ask the defense at the shape to needed to stop the basic services at the g. cause a add base, big thoughts, non broken us trust in the country is on the class. what's not in a forty's, early writers to terminate the status of forces agreement, which allows us to break in the contract. washington is yet to respond to the new director, but an intelligent source for support to cnn said the notice was not sent through official diplomatic channels, describing it as add ports on the usual way to convey such a significant message. but notice also do not directly order of the us troops to withdrawal from charge. but washington risks losing its military presence and they also can come to me last month, new gerry and authorities asking us to recall its troops following the crew last july. that was to president mohammed by zoom before then about $1100.00 us troops

traded out of the surveys are sprinkled in a $100000000.00 drum base we're of a ceiling evocative is central new sir. news in the fight against just has groups across the whole region. lot is us, i mean, it goes to the american presence in the territory of the republic of news. here is a legal violates all the constitutional and democratic rules which would require the silver and people, notably, so its elected officials to be consulted on the installation of a, for an army in its territory. a government of new year taking into account the aspirations and interest of its people besides was full responsibility to denounce was immediate. the fact, the agreement relating to the status of military person all the united states and civilian employees of the american department of defense and the territory of the republic of new year shot has struggled with that 0 rate in military and political conditions since 2021 disputes over electoral transparency,

everything sorts of waiting tensions between the us and todd. what the timing of the directory also lasers questions about? notice the decision comes in a tens political context ahead of a push on lasix presidential contest where it chops transitional president mohammed . it is very and his prime minister, a success mass right. or a long notable content as well. sounds like it could be a way for the military to negotiate a wal beneficial agreement with washington. the us established diplomatic relations with charles in 1960 following its independence from france and by lateral corporations between both nations includes a security packed on counterterrorism. what was the current trend? it is not black. how much longer of the us can hold it? support in africa, tennessee of his r t. a whole job, right, jerry. the united for peace. those were the words of former us

president bill clinton. that's mark the beginning of nato's bombing campaign in the former yugoslavia. 25 years ago. the alliance rained on tens of thousands of bombs and missiles getting hundreds of civilians. this was terry dodds until the yugoslav army withdrew from costs of what follows. is there a special coverage of those events on the mark they left on history on, on the lives of looks the way i can protect thousands of innocent people in the, to the fuse of powder, to get the heart of bureau to stand united with our allies for faith, my generation never to see those in your, at the

latest bombing, wasn't only limited to military targets on april 19th, 1999 large explosions were heard at dawn in belgrade as our strikes had petroleum refineries and chemical plants, government buildings and other civilian infrastructure across the country were also attacked. nato officials subsequently defended the blocks devastating assaults, and also blame the don't fault of europe and security on russia, with more in the legacy left behind. here's our to charlotte, to been city in belgrade of nature's aggression against what was then you could solve the a more, a significant turning point in world history. the so called rules based international old was smashed with the alliance, engaging in military force with that the approval of the un security council. no

action still has run this occasions to this very day. this was the 1st time they to completely violate its own 3 to that 3 to is a copy of the un charter adage point 5 up to can 5. that is one of the members are attacked. the other screen. it has nothing to do in yugoslavia. it has nothing to do in your brain, it has nothing to do in your rack or anywhere else. an organization that for 25 years operate against its own 32 should be investigated. what happened in the lead up to 1999 has many power allows with the crating conflict now. and while the west states, russia is attacking the coal principles of the you and show it to us award, the president put an open lead declared from the outset is named at erasing ukraine from the map is a sovereign country. the west ignores the fact that as part of nato it has

repeatedly done this itself. the best example of what is, of course ukraine because when, when nato tells the world, oh we're just helping ukraine defend itself. young sheldon, but the nato secretary general has admitted that nato has been in ukraine actively involved in ukraine bombing training, ukrainian forces since 2014 nathan knew exactly what he was doing. this was an academic i should pay in the former yugoslavia. nato is accused of committing crimes. you are going to be so this you may be mold and free. yes. yes. they keep telling us that it was justified that they had to bomb us for us like but then in the next sentence says they tell us that they sorry for some bland as recess sign. yes. and other children killed a may type bombing in 1999. the one i tried to tell us is no, we not sorry,

because we've done our job ripping apart. so the nato has consistently rejected those claims, rushing into office necessary. oh collateral damage. yet at the same time, it accuses russia, mortality, preston, tooth and is failing in ukraine. and he just responding with more brutality. waves of deliberate me sort of attacks on see this on the civic infrastructure. there are other power levels to the intervention of nature, and you can smell of you resulted in a demand for parts of the country. costs are going to be recognized as a sold for an state lands asinique albanians and to this day. so it'd be, has refused to k, even recognize the break away region, despite the constant pressure from nato allies. at the same time, these allies consistently have denied cools by asking the questions and don't boss and quite me to determine that own feature. well, you know,

it's essentially when you use something helps creating a bunch of independent states that are likely to be in nato allies. nato is suddenly in favor of succession is a tax. so it'd be a bunch of the prize costs of the way through terrorism, co ocean bombing, a state essentially to give up a piece of territory, then it recognizes it. and then they turn around to the, the, the, the east of the, the, the residence of the dumbass. you. however you much you, you've already, especially on will through a referendum. you have to say in the states that you don't want to be a part of nature claim vixen convention in serbia. and before that in both me it was it's a key piece yet such fractions of resulting in decades of tensions in the balkans.

the what this point this nato allies have accused russia of shattering the peace in europe. it is clear that nato has not done enough. and what russia has done, the shots is the security architecture of europe. it's a great to pill to swallow, to recognize you one falls into not choosing a quarter of a century on nature is still refusing to do either. not just in relation to it's illegal campaign and you could smell of you have been in a rock. i've done this on libya, how it enables the purpose of islamic state, and now how it piles ukraine high with arms. that is something seen by many, including the global side as being the problem. so it's even sky reporting for all

the info grades. so if you.
