rose by 12 percent in california for the last 2 and a half years, we have learned that we cannot achieve peace without dialogue and diplomatic channels. hunger is prime minister. i think the all bon calls for the prologic resolution to end the conflicting ukraine. imagine moscow with the bottom of put in who said that the aba side appears on willingness to stop the valve, and there is still an unwillingness in keith to abandon the idea of waging war to the bitter end. nevertheless, we are grateful to the prime minister. we see this as an attempt to restore dialogue. you are officials, i signing more bonds, trip to moscow say, but he doesn't represent the block. some even suggest the hung area and from minnesota to betray new principles. it undermines duty and determination

that we need to show in order for this war to end the poles. and now closing a ron active to top candidates tobacco to leave the nation. and the 2nd round of voting. i have to be pointed to an independent task force to carry out and comprehend steve forensic quoting property can get can yes, president william road to announce as to the new measures because government spending and reduce the national debt following deadly and government protests across the country. the route would consider the coverage of the latest trends shaping the world right now because are the international i a bike up watching. now, after meeting at moscow, lot them, it puts you in signed from gary and prime minister of the old bond for his efforts

to. busy the trade in conflict, otherwise, the leader said, it appears that all the western powers and not interested in finding a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. a spoken, say, sir, i see to ukraine, sponsors continued to try to use this country and its people as a battering ram or sacrifice for confrontation with russia. as we see it, there is still an unwillingness in kia to abandon the idea of waging war to the bitter and nevertheless, we are grateful to the prime minister. we see this as an attempt to restore dialogue, which isn't even in europe have been living in the shadow of we're for 2 and a half years now. we do not feel safe, and this war has factor in the breakdown of economic development over the last 2 and a half years. we have learned that we cannot achieve fee. so without dialogue and diplomatic channels. the 1st, the important stuff has been made in terms of establishing dialogue, and i will continue this work for them. star to political correspondent jago peace cut off was in the heart of the beds in central moscow. he brought us some key

details from the desk. folks, as well as their comments to the press, victor or button told vladimir food and about his recent trip to ukraine as part of his peace initiative, where he tried to persuade keith to cease fire and had to negotiations. this offer wasn't rejected, the computers actually discussed a wide range of things, but of course, the grain was among the most important issues. vladimir prudent says that moscow is still ready for peace dogs. and for negotiations, however, it doesn't see the same will coming out of ukraine. porting says, piece would mean the need to with the marshal on ukraine, which then means the they need to hold new presidential elections, which still haven't been held and the wedding rated. so ask, he's a to him and office officially ended in may so important things that trans ukrainian officials aren't really in that much of a need to, to actually have peace because then they would need to take part in elections and

put in things they wouldn't lose the codes administration wouldn't, it was also flattery reporting says that uh, any peace negotiations that should lead to not a c spy or a pause, but to complete ending of the conflict. now, victor, oregon says that he's now met with way of putting for the eleven's time. he says, meetings like this and trips like this one to russia. our 1st steps in the right direction. i must tell you that the number of countries that can talk to each other is rapidly declining. hungry is the only country in europe that can talk to everyone hungry will soon be the only country in europe that can talk to everyone. definitely an important meeting. even though it's organ is now under a lot of criticism from his european counterparts, they either say that he does not have the mandates to hold any type of negotiations with russia over ukraine. or they say that he this is actually when harm to the european union, so unified stance on ukraine. here's

a few examples of what is being said. this is about about appeasement. it's not about the piece. and we believe that it undermines the unity and determination that we need to show me so long as it's not that are presenting and they go out to these meetings. he's up something is on country. what is important this that will allow us to also hungry the degrees? that's a, that's a rush. i use the restroom on the roof sized responsible for the war. we are concerned that prime minister would choose to make this trip. the mascot, which we not advanced and is counter productive to all this criticism aside though, i think the victor, oregon has shown some real strong political character because it really takes some phone will to go for a european leader right now to rough 10, hold negotiations with vladimir wouldn't because of the european union's stance on

ukraine and all of this military support of ukraine. well, actually, i think it's victor, oregon who by his actions is showing some free will and desire for a final peaceful solution to this conflict. instead of just pumping more and more weapons into it, lots of the press conference. archie spoke with hunger is foreign minister. he said, europe needs the conflict to be resolved as soon as possible by the name of the last 2 and a half years that we dealt with style of results, keeping the channels of communication open. there is no solution to before. so i think that this is the only way how solution can be found for this, for is that we talk to each other of the queue, but you know, as a communication office, as most of the go button and help support you give. now, all of the don't confuse the prove or politicians with the people in the room.

all bonds visit to russia has gained support from the slovak prime minister. we said that there is always room for more tools, and he would have joy to, if possible. i want to express my ration for the hon, gary and prime minister, who did not hesitate to visit boesky evan, moscow. if my house heard aloud, i would have been happy to join him. there never too many p stocks. and while some country is focused on promoting peace in you, all specials have been combative about the hunger res efforts, which i'm suggesting though the bonds betraying the blocks principal. the appeasement will not stop fulton only unity and determination of what pays the past . due a comprehensive just and the last thing be some ukraine prime minister, oregon has not received any mandate from the council to visit moscow in moscow a week to obe any no way of represents the you or the use positions. he's exploit and the presidency position to so confusion. it is

a scandal. the orbit is shamefully abusing the council presidency and traveling to kremlin without the mandate either the hon. gary and government respects its current role in the you or it should resign. as chair, victor, oregon, visits put in some very and prime minister. the use position is very clear. we condemn the russian war of aggression the what value the does a you you actually have now, i think is the biggest question because the people of europe overwhelmingly want these. and, you know, victo a bond in this country. he is going against the grain against the wishes of european union. collectively, the leadership of the g u is, is very far from the population of the you and just like the american people are, are very much in opposition. what our governments doing. and so in europe i, it appears to be the same thing. um, you know, nato wants to continue

a war of the door mazda and strong enough, and to withstand these attacks on the whole year in the country and hung in society . and so it's difficult to say how the any of the actions taken by the you at this time this has been beneficial at all. it heading to a rod now where polls have now officially closed. this is the 2nd round of voting after none of the candidates receive the majority last week. now for more we cross now live to all the correspondence use of july. the inter, ron, you said, was good to have you join me right now. can you bring us up to speed with the latest updates from the rodney and election? of course, the poles off finally closed at midnight after a breathtaking 16 hour voting period. that the saw, of course,

multiple extensions. and now the nation watches with baited breath as the vote counting process begins. of course, it's a lengthy process. it's expected to take several hours or perhaps until saturday noon before the final results to be announced by the iranian interior ministry, which is responsible for it. reinhold thinking overseeing the election all in all, it was a prostate king mattress on presidential race between jedi who is a full truck distributive a fire brand politician with anti western views and special ed position on who represents the reform is can with a more moderate approach towards the west, each representing one and of ross political spectrum with starkly contrasting views that will shape around spiritual trajectory and the countries global policy depending on which one of the 2 contenders when the election they want that runs

off future direction. and it's global forum policy. i would either be left towards a confrontational course with the west, under a ged or escalation under business gone so far still to some to sketch any clear picture about the outcome of this election crucial run off both between the 2 candidates. but of course, of course, based on the polls and surveys conducted so far, because it's gone well once again lead the race after he naturally led the race in the, in the, in the initial round with 10000000 votes. but of course, he fell short of the of the criterion of 50 percent majority or an absolute majority defined as of 50 percent of the total votes cast plus one voice and that's triggered the 2nd round of the election. of course jenny d. i trailed closely behind with 9400000 volts in the 1st round. so

it's um, it's going to be very difficult to predict which one of these 2 arrived. busy those will when the election because speech both course, both of the candidates possessed strong support bases and the country. of course jenny, the banks on this, we 1000000 votes that initially voted and supported audi box. and the 1st round, while positioning on uh seriously, is uh, counting on the 60 percent of the electorate who did not participate in the 1st round of the election. positioning himself as the ultimate solution to their problems and to their demands of course. but what certain for now is that the churn out, the voter turnout has been significantly higher than in the 1st problem, the polls suggest, and of course, the also the data and figures released by the iranian interior ministry suggest that until 10 30 pm local time around $29000000.00

voters cast their ballots and that is 47 percent of the total votes. of course that's 47 percent voter turnout, 10 participation. and that already is significantly higher than this 40 percent voter turnout initially marked up in the 1st rounds, which marked a record low participation. so now this 47 percent voter turnout is good news for these monica public, which views high for our turn out as a barometer, measuring the level of public support for the establishment and for the ideals of these logic revolution back in 1979. so now we have to wait for the final and more accurate results to be announced by the interior ministry up perhaps until saturday noon arrives. we'll have to leave it here now use of july the hard to correspond. and joining us from to ron now,

earlier we spoke to the savvy from the university of to rob that he explained. but it's likely, ron will follow the same following policy pots with a focus on multiple, already after the election. to all the truth of the matter is that this is one of the most unpredictable phenomenal elections in the history of the knowledge of public interest. thing we, it's is the 1st time in which the turn out rate has been exceeded the 1st round. this is quite surprising. the compass competition is quite steps the competitors are nick and nick. so it's quite hard to put forth any sort of ads to patient ben. it comes to the turn of rates. and ben, as constitutes, let's say the election results, the grand trajectory of the wrong foreign policy is based upon a consensus among the less than right old and old. i think we will see some slides shipped from slides shifts of approach. if mr. johnny comes to the office,

we expect less flexible approach to, pertaining to the west and negotiations on that. if mister position comes to the office, we expect sort of more flexible approach. but the truth of the matter is that you want try try the to check 3 off talks with the west. and it'd be the sort of over an emphasis on this particular to reject 3 the this past they was tested for 8 years and it's ended up in nothing in return for the uranium sides, regardless of the full they, they full commitment that even is conducted. therefore, i think now this, there is this, this a consensus beyond partisans, beyond left or right that the, to reject 3 of you reading and foreign policy should be based on more focus on global felt more focused on organizations like bricks, larger sharon guy and, and so forth so we will see to

a certain extent that this policy agenda will be continued. either rate is either mr. charlie comes to the office or mr. francisco. while it's office, all the polls i've closed, so stay tuned. us will bring you the results of the runs presidential run off election. the, let's head to africa now in another attempt to cub's public anger over government efforts to introduce new taxes to cover the national debt canyon and president william rudo has announced new measures to stabilize the state economy. i have today, i pointed an independent task force to carry out and comprehend steve forensic audit, public debt and report to us in the next 3 months before

that would provide the people of k. now with crowded t on the extent on nature about that. how public resulting copying expended. and we also recommend proposals for managing our public debt in a manner that east of sustainable. and that's not spartans, future generations of the deadly protest, false paysimple to tibet dolman plans to raise more than $2000000000.00 in new taxes. the present has been fuel the service was scary to misses the plans to offset to the non abandoned tax bill with mass of tax cuts. so rather costs to social expenditure affecting education, health care, housing, and many other sectors. the presidency is he will take these muses through so that she's administration does not spend beyond what is necessary, even if it means cutting down the own seller. we stockton with himself as an

example. basically as part of the plan, the president has made it clear that in keeping with these, let's do it. to me is full to see if in state corporations will be dissolved with the funds has to be integrated into line ministry. is that the decision as well? to full positions of chief administrative secretaries is suspended and the number of advisors in the government will be reduced by 50, with immediate effect budget lines providing for the operations off the office of the 1st may be the spouses of 52 presidents and at the prime cabinet secretary saw also be removed. similarly, the budget to the provisions in various executive offices, including the presence office will be removed and the budget for renovations across the government offices will be reduced by 50 percent, public servants as well. obtain the retirement age of 60 years, sol be required to immediately proceed on retirement. has also been told that the

purchases of new vehicles is suspended except to full security and non essential travel by states or even public offices will also be suspended. and judging by social media reaction, it seems like often every announcement present to a mix, fresh demos that come up because already some say they do appreciate these businesses but still need to be done. and this just shows you that it is going to be a long and endless ride. some even say the actions taken by president time to comment to show that he's the decision to be to define is for was a technical pullback aimed to stem mass opposition sparked off to the events of the deputy demonstrations that we saw when police gun down the as soon as a protest is on the street off, no road being across the country according to human rights watch, at least the 29 people were killed and hundreds of lift injured is produced by

a live bullets into a gas. i protest is the rice group also mentioned that a handful of abduction victims were made on the account to full with families. also still searching for the missing tool joined in more to resist it. also remember that the i'm, if it has been pushing, can you to cut, explain to so on top off raising more texas to find is if proper ration and service existing knows exploits, say the i am if had for seen the imagined. so speed po 2 is the case to texas misses, but pushed ahead and push the government just getting you to stand firm on the new misses. and we all know that the if is one cool, and that is to place the full burden of kenya's unprecedented debt to crisis on to the sucking messes of the country in its defense, the institution says its main goal has been helping can overcome its economies. challenges and improving its peoples wellbeing, but the citizens of can you do lots of things. so they even say the i am if will

basically asking you to recruit and present a new reform plan before the year comes to an end advocate of the high court of care. yeah, barbara, mo ross says that the spot, the announcement of new measures of the nation hasn't seen any real action to address. but that situation, we've had this discussion about us started to move those although mouth and we have end of the biggest problem i think for more scans is that we do not seem to be watching the talk. and so it's just be in a declination of as soon as you may have up to the other, but we haven't seen that put into action and it's regards to what did they know, the local accountability and transparency are the same. and um, well, as the president did try and steer the conversation, we didn't have up to now we do have mccain uses as to how to use that to do it. and

of course, the form we scanned themselves has been, we seem to be, we on one hand saying when the highest is, but on the other hand, most of the seen government, even officials say not spending and so such and such action the what has led that structure to the mass public outcry, the presidents of the key and neighboring syria had been made for the 1st time since a devastating armed conflict erupt. a 13 years ago, at the potential of 12, so respected to be held in russia in september. are the corresponding, the senior care and has the details. the syria don't see, it has been a hot talking point over the course of the past few weeks. and during this, donna summits is the president of, to, to, and of russia. vladimir puts an end rigid type add on, met to discuss the serial ca, it's been quite vital. and over the course of the past year,

so unclear has been more vocal, an ottoman to ensuring that the prospects of reproach mentioned, discussions actually starts and putting an end to a conflict that has spanned, for more than a decade. the sentiment was shared by the syrian president bush, trevor, less that as well, over the course of the years. of course it has become more and more and, and to ensure that so the state of syria ensures that is solvency. interrogatory integrity is kept intact. and this is something that, and cut a shows as well. and it also takes into consideration the importance that has been presented by the syrian president. and the church of side essentially says that we will ensure that the territorial integrity of syria is respected. but discussions need to be held on based on what we understand we in so we understand that phone service coordinator position to ensure that the russian president is hosted into the care before the prospect or the discussions between 22 and sylvia could begin, but let's just playing a key role here as well because we understand over the course of the last few years,

for the most part, there had been a great deal of initiatives that had been led by 2 kids that have been led by russia. iran has been a part of this process as well to ensure that the war insides of the conflicting sides within the country within syria could essentially come to terms i'm. that is, of course, one of the many concerns of the syrian presidents, the militants in the northern part of the country, which is currently under the control, the fact all control of the target forces. and the fact that the syrian president has defacto control over that part of the country they need to ensure that the concerns of damascus are essentially heard. and the roadmap will be made available by so it's a lot easier said than done. but the one thing that is sure all of the sides are calling for some form of approach meant that negotiations do take part in the unofficial word on the street, is that the meeting would take place in russia, which advised the position that moscow is currently in to ensure that the peace and stability in the middle east is to accept, upheld or established in the 1st place. now we had something for my talk,

this diplomat didn't president of the london the club amendment over to. and he explained the significance of this potential summit, the world on detective side in syria. but there is a desperate need to man, defenses and russia is pushing forward for that. it does play the th enroll bringing pockets together. but i think russia is the most credible partner for doing so, and that was, it could be more results oriented as well. because in the past we had the started process as you remember. so many meetings took place, so many declarations, but no tangible results. i hope that this time the grounds will be prepared well and there is going to be a lasting piece so that that will be no problem between the 2 countries. effected by 2 o'clock means, i mean us, the wall with the 14, syria is a big concern for us is supporting the y p g, as we know created, trying to create that will tell them is region for the current seen syria and the

this is lee is going to lead that back to you soon take ration of syria and just not acceptable either for russia. nope. or to keep know of course the area and also for neighboring countries like the right now for this equipment interest here. there were some pretty conditions from s up in the beginning of spring talk these courses. so we throw stuff going to happen before the region is clear and security wise is going to be safe for refugees to go back. and also the traditional tents will not be based and looked at. therefore, there is going to but lots of top negotiations. but the 2 presidents come together, the curse congress separately taken and the rest will be not that difficult to follow the answer to the united states. now, president, by the remains resolute about his presidential bed during the july 4th celebrations here, show the crowd that he's not going anywhere. and that's right after delivering yet another well remarkable speech. you know,

i was in that war one cemetery adds up into france and one that mark, one of our colleagues, the former president did want to go and the up there. there's probably should even say, right, we got this, remember who and how we are with united states of america. you got me man, i'm not going anywhere or move while the main stream media. he's a boss calling for bite into exit this page. so yet, and quoted several on names diplomats who say the biden's poor performance might on . busy of allies, they had of the nato summit next week. the president has reportedly confided to democratic governors that he needs to sleep mode and work less asking to avoid shackling events after a pm critic suggested the if the gaps keep piling up,

it could be on the pump it into our in our, his latest bumble came during a radio interview where he told the host, i see is the 1st block female vice president. by the way, i am proud to be, as i said, 1st vice president, or is black woman, served with the black prison to a group of a 160 age, political don't know, civic leaders and business executives call the president biden to withdraw him from the us presidential race in the letter sends to see the white house official according to the washington post or the leadership. now project letter has divided into withdrawal his candidate, the for the sake of us democracy and the future of those columns as a major democratic. don't those are also speaking out against biden's cognitive state. so i'm are reportedly working to raise a $100000000.00 as a splost funded the case of a new candidate. another group of, well,

the donors is threatening to withhold funds for them of democrats up the debate, difficult alleged by didn't, is replaced. now meeting the charges, netflix cold filed the read hastings. abigail disney and address to be uh, disney, few of the family of fortune also plans to keep our position until joe biden is out . i intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replaced by them at the top of the ticket. this is real as not disrespect. biden is a goodman and has served his country admirably, but the stakes are far too high. the adi continued to tar read. so does that job i didn't, is not fit to run the country and is ignoring the american people's voices. well, i think, you know, it's absurd. he is not listening to what the american people want and the ratings of his calling, so that she's not a popular president. his policies,

as well as he is not, are not popular with the american people. 70 percent of the people want out of these farm wars. a lot of people are in poverty. you know, i would say that the 5 and campaign usually they follow campaign award that the word that they use is the war room and they talk about a campaign. but in, by this case, i think it's the panic ring. i think that they're absolutely the leads are absolutely panicked right now because they don't have a way to move him gracefully. he's. i think they thought he would just step down for health reasons and he's not. what i'm hearing is that there is a close circle of people that don't want him to step down, including his family. and so you have these other more powerful people with as insurance or economic money given to the campaigns that desperately want him to step down. so there is definitely a battle going on in the democratic party, whether the republicans take advantage of this or another party takes advantage of

this and try.
