[000:00:00;00] the, the ron's reformer as president elect urges the nation to rally behind him as much suits as, as you can celebrate the victory in the run of both the hon. gary and prime minister shrugs off allegations of appeasement. and to after his meeting with lot of my putting in moscow, sparked an outcry from us visuals. this is precisely the brazilian bureaucratic nonsense that yielded no results in finding a way to peace in the russia ukraine war. and our force fonda is imbedded with russian troops and fees up close to buffer zone, being created to protect civilians in the border region with ukraine, the printer is being found. the

great news not much say is being that the you are watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. we're covering the top news stories from around the worlds we start. the program with a ron we're most suited to their skin has been elected as the nation's new president and will be in not greater than the coming weeks following a run off vote. the reformist candidate tramped over conservative seed july. leave the winter secure just over half of the 30500000 ballots cast during his victory speech semester possess getting called honorarium to work together under his presidency. the dear people of the around the elections are over and this is just the beginning of our calculation. the difficult path ahead will not be smooth except with your companionship,

embassy and trust. i extend my hand to you and i swear on my own or that i will not leave you alone on these pass. cuz there's john, let the raise with the 16300000 volts. while g d has conservative rival, garnered all the 13500000 volts punching the numbers. that's a significant lead over jedi the around $3000000.00 volts margin and he does. he's out during his campaign trail that he will resolve the can on the challenges in the country through constructive engagement with the entire world, the eastern hemisphere on the western hemisphere, all included, of course. but that does not mean that iran will ignore and overlook the chief mints made by the late president of brian bracy, bills on your relationship with your boss for additional allies, including restaurant in china. i the global south in general. what the discount is

going to do is that he is expected to maintain and preserve those policies adopted by the late president ibrahim receipt and maintaining closer ties with the global south of perhaps expanding ties with member states of breaks, understanding car cooperation organization. but at the same time is going to also look at these look westward and try to resolve the longstanding issues and not going to these between to one and the western block. so that is based on his account paid for. so it needs to be see how he's going to handle this stance and how he's going to move forward with what his plans towards building ties better ties with the western world as he faces. challenges both at home and abroad at home is space by top hard line, conservative politicians within parliament who are not going to maintain a cooperative stance and approach with the president elect for this beyond because

they do not believe in giving in to the western excessive demands including potential donald trump, we enter into the white house. as donald trump made it clear that he's not going to be satisfied with a nuclear deal without expressing it was missile program. so that is not going to sit well with a predominantly conservative calling them. and so it remains to be seen watts measurements and walk initiatives have in mind to try to navigate those challenges, but for now he has 2 major steps to take before assuming office 1st. he has to receive the door some. and so i have also for the leader that's a tradition and iran in, in iran politics for any president who wants to assume office. he has to go through this process of a 5 year warranty. and supreme either later, he has to take the oath of office. and the most important part is that he has to propose

a cabinet sign up for approval by the one in lawmakers. we also heard that he's slated to hold a press conferences, 1st press conference as the president elect all these while later today we're going to keep you updated about the conferences when nations around the region, the end of the world have congratulated most to the position beyond for winning the presidential elections, russian president vladimir putin sent a letter expressing his hope that relations between the 2 countries will continue to contribute to regional security and stability. so the conference mom and been some of the of firmed his intention to deepen, mutually beneficial ties with around to a western leaders are yet to comment on the election outcome before building began . mainstream media was flooded with headlines, claiming the process would be less than democratic earlier. my colleague, you know, neil spoke with randy and scholar and commentator forward his id. it says the results of ron's presidential election to show those claims were unfounded. i think

said this may be a shock to risk some media outlets. that's a try to demonize the lines elections. there is the 25th even getting focused on media. this is that there is this conservative body of clinics that let's candidates the choose candidates and the, because you don't have this guy situation has this body of basically judges. then you runs elections. i'm not saying i'm not a democratic and it may be a shock to them, but to see is really the for miss candidates coming out of this election process. and so the accusing is this constitutional counseling. you're on as engineering elections. you know, we had over a 100 as far as the a speaking child i was telling, you know, i me as based in u. k. um,

united states telling me that i me as to buy clothes evictions. and the fact that if you get 50 percent participation and the kind of severe the comic sanctions that coming to the polls saying no to these that this and media outlets and media outlets such as supported by the sent over meant. i think that's his check. i think that's the surprising. so overall, i think this is a good day for the united. the s a democracies is in practice. and i think the new president website to solve a fix, some of the countries thumbs. the hun gary and prime minister has reacted to the wes fierce criticism of his trip to moscow as victor or bon shrugged off you allegations of appeasement. in his meeting with vladimir, put that i am concerned of. i am, i'm a friend of a 1000 deaths hungry also the spectrum. i'm from the piece. that's very important that i'm from the piece. the reason why i negotiated pitching,

because i'm looking for the shortest front, because the way to stick this war and create a piece of data room problem is to victor alba on surprise. visit to must go this way. should have been heritage as a major breakthrough. it is meeting with russian president vladimir putin sold a pad, discuss a potential si, fi, and an end to a conflict. so as long stayed around a decade, both said the dialogue, where am i? the only way to peace is mtv ne, we in europe have been living in the shadow of war for 2 and a half years. now, we do not feel safe, and this war has factored into a breakdown of economic development. and then the 1st important step has been made in terms of establishing dialogue. and i will continue this work, but i've asked you, spoke with a serious see, to ukraine. sponsors continued 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 key of to abandon the idea of waging war to the bitter end. nevertheless, we are grateful to the prime minister. we see this is an attempt to restore the dialogue box instead of welcoming old bonds pay submission, which also included, apply visit to cab for amazing. we've let them, is it lensky, the western sponsors of the proxy war and ukraine went into a collective meltdown. appeasement will not stop fulton, only unity and determination will pay the path to 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, vic, to albany no way represents the you or the used positions. he's exploiting the presidency position to so confusion. it is a scandal. the orbit is shamefully abusing the council presidency and travelling the kremlin without the mandate either the hon. gary and government respects its current role in the you or it should resign his chair. victor, oregon, visits prudent,

as i'm very in prime minister. the use position is very clear. we condemn the russian war of aggression for all that so called peace conferences, a ground a standing over russian aggression. it seems that ukraine is west and boxes before was more of a jewel jewel. the a you insist a piece, thoughts kind of how without you, craig, and of course, this is said without the hidden surviving the russia. i was not even invited to the high profile and dissolve the so called peace conference in switzerland last month . so the case, the peace discussions call be how without ukraine, but i can be held without russia. a sign was the definition of hypocrisy. lensky himself has introduced legislation binding your crime from entering peace talks with russia. well, native chief, you insult him, but says old jones, cool for peace was not the position of the ministry alliance we so long as it's not

that of presenting and they go out to these meetings, who's representing his own country when the fight, the ends. and we need the security, we need to enable the credit unions to deter, but we also need some kind of security guarantees for your claim. and of course, those are one of the reasons why allies ok, that has they did that to create a little comment on the, on april washington, the biggest supplier volunteer crane. and also i waited in warning, bizarrely peace talks actually move the situation further away from pace. we're concerned that prime minister would choose to make this trip to moscow, which we not advance so it seems the malls because when foodie slipped, well it's not to be a pretty soon as maintained on alone. the russian remains open and committed to peace negotiations. t of on the west of doing old icons to prolong war from scott bring a peace deal that would have seen

a cx. 5 back in 2022 to the seemingly never ending for weapons. well, green, i think you're tucked inside russia. it seems that west is prepared to sacrifice firewalls is have ukrainians, right? so cause, but if not, peace, stokes, and watts. it is almost unprecedented to say a peace mission condemned so strongly is almost as if the west has another agenda. the russian troops have pushed a deeper into northeastern ukraine, taking yet another settlements in the hard top region. moscow says it's forces are creating a buffer zone to stop him from bombing russian territory are to senior correspondent, broadcast the of filed at this report from the front line where he's embedded with russian units. these, he's voted john, who was literally events, remains the fighting. he's furious and face to face. here,

the building on the rights is held by russian troops. the buildings on the list falsified by ukrainians. the orders had come in the ukrainians, needed to be clear that tonight's a t a t times was tubes and so the job the not so much the time is the crew once unit. so you with now i'm gonna talk much spits, not blue. and what's the units, will you in? i was in pmc wagner, which i took part in the battle of buck moved and fight, and the outlines settlements. lease is a dangerous and delicate nation. well the the

reason within the radius of the the to keep to treat cub looking for a suitable foreign position. votes on skis, some columbus is way. yes. to close soon enough. they begin. the 1st shows heeds to a mark of skill and the next in a few minutes, 5 tank shells impacts you create in positions. the shock waves a low will leave the troops inside with the city

a contusions and ruptured drums. the much the same is happening with jobs has been turned into ukraine's new rock looks much the same is being done in the city is lugging it with new units. fresh reinforcements with mobilized troops. who are who have insufficient training. is it in ski? it is apparent, has ordered his troops to hold on couple chance a total cost regardless of losses. he would look bad if he lost another lodge settlement. just liking back much holding onto which made little military sense. and which he said with generals urged him to abandon and with tens of

thousands of ukrainian troops perished. much of brag enough is now being observed by ask my battalion. and the general of t i. lo, dina and ty, units for my private military contracts, is the re united companion of development. we came back, cable together was a group. and did you expect everyone to return to be honest with you? i didn't. but as you can see, is what happened from all school. bold tons must be pacified to stop blind ukrainian shedding across the border tax on russian cities in pounds full of civilians. s then 2 months into the battle, the streets are leases with ukrainian dead. and many more buried on the rubber too much so that the bible has

a familiar nickname. the vall chance needs grind more i'd guys do, you have kind of gum region. ukraine. french m p and former national rally party leader marine depends, says the country strongly opposes sending troops and long range weapons to crime. she's among other politicians urging the french people to vote and the 2nd round of the parliamentary elections on sunday. we have supported ukraine throughout these 2 years. this is indicating that we have to red lines which was sending french troops to create the entire tray. because the french are, i believe, to be opposed to this war and the delivery of a long range weapons that could hit for russia and baffle, make france a cove belligerent in this conflict to be. and so since it's victory and the

parliamentary election last one, so the pens party has been facing, pushed back from many front unions, organizations and media outlets. thousands have demonstrated across the country, urging voters to prevent the national riley from winning the local run off balance . in the 1st rounds of right wing party and its allies secured 33 percent of the popular vote. the left wing new popular funds came in 2nd was 28 percent, while incumbent president microns centrist block, only managed to secure one 5th of the balance. on joining me now from paris is author and west east and g. o president nicholas markovich nichol . i good to have you on the program. us with us. i'd like to hear your thoughts on marie reading. the pen statement that sending french troops and long range weapons to crane our red lines that would make paris a party to the conflict. what, what do you make of that? i think i think it's just right. most of the defense people do not want this for, they definitely don't want to send print soldiers. they don't want to get more involved in this work. unfortunately,

many of the people in fact don't even know what's really going on. i think to fix, realize that france is really engaged behind kids and is spending billions this is costing the french tax payer billions and billions of yours. and we've arrived at the stage 2 years after the russian war against ukraine. and i would actually say, proximately 10 years after this war started at is, was the civil war between ukrainians. another french people seeing that this is not working out, that piece is not coming and they want to get back. and if it more and more french to swap piece, and we're, we depend, is reminding that there are red lines that she's not ready to cross. and she has put a lot of water in her wind. she's that a lot of compromise to get to where she is today, and that's for electro strategy. and i think this has something which is quite distressing her from the macro. it was a couple weeks ago spoken about sending french troops. and he was quite a big proponent of going very, very far in his relationship with zalinski to maintain more against russia. and this is from the point from,

from the independent science invoices and the opinion of the majority of the french today. and the club president, my crohn, did recently allow cube hughes from supply the scope of cruise missiles to strike targets inside russia. does that mean that that red line has already been crossed? it has been crossed, ending marine defense, said that she didn't want france to be co belligerent in this war against russia. but france already is copeland drew and as it is uh, giving literally long range themselves to savanski till you were creating an army and ukraine. you know, i'm using this to, to do is to fire on the you don't bass and even it's a russian territory around a bow girl of. so we, yes for us is already and pick it in as is nato. and it's not forget that nato has been very active in ukraine since 24th seen. so this is, this is actually quite the parts of a long story between nato and to ask you however, what is quite different is that this thing that this strategy is not working out.

it is actually back fire. you create a new army is, is going back and susie territory today. so i think a lot of people in france and even in resent the national reality and within other movements are seamless. and maybe we don't want to go too far. their profit they're finding out today that russia is much more powerful than they thought. and that they don't want to reach a living whereby they would be directly involved in a conversational board with russia. and i think this is something which is floating around more and more. yeah. within the french political, i would say establishment and even in the opposition, that may be that they've gone to far. and now it's time to, to keep cold head and not go too far before this gets really out of hand. maureen le pen promised that the national rally will prevent from using long range french weapons to strike russia, but she stopped short of calling for a complete and a complete end to arm supplies to cry. and why do you think she didn't go uh further in call for a complete and to arm supplies?

i think this was a political move on her part. it was definitely a political move. i mean, before a couple years ago maureen defend was in a freight to go to moscow to me. a lot of irritating and more independent of the national reality have traditionally always said that they did not want more in, in, in europe, that they were not big fans of nato. and all of a sudden, of course, has 2022 divisions within mainstream media in the west. and notably in france has been very harsh on rochester. i can visit tactical move on uh depends on the inside that she does not want to say that she is too close to that important or at least not as close as she used to be. so i think this is a technical move. however, this is something different, visit this the statement, i think it's technical error because there is room for space and we've had this space happening for us for peace. and this is something i think she should advise because this is what most of the 1st one of you. they don't want to spend money. i don't ever think most difference have

a difficult time today. making ends meet. got big problems and fast concerning school because an injustice was ending, immigration concerning education, and we're spending billions for this for and ukraine saw the message, most of the french people. and i mean, i'm in french, people from across the political spectrum and a lot of them, they just want peace and they don't want to be spending all day of his of his money on board. so i could, this is a technical error on her side just should have said we want peace. and this is something to, this is something i think it's a game giving her a more credibility than just saying, ok, let's not go too far. i can do this for against russia. so again, she is me doing a lot of compromise. so yeah, she wants to have to main street and i would say image in france and trying to get more votes. and so the question is, how far is she going to go in this compromise? and is she going to do some of the, uh, is it going to do some of the positioning, the strong positioning that she used to have on this subject? and what will she do if she, when she gets all of these?

uh, i would say i like the people within the french apartment, which stacks where they're going to have. is she going to change that? it just has something just she's doing now. but skin votes and that you're going to come back to the original position. we don't know that so far. all right, we're going to leave it there, author on west east and j. o president nickel americas which thank you. thank you. over to central gaza now where at least 10 civilians were killed by and is really our strike on our residential building. the enclave. total death toll since october 7th has now passed $38000.00 so well. the children who were killed and wounded in the attack have been transferred to a nearby hospital in their own block. that's as the idea of confirmed targeting a humanitarian area near civilian population shelters. israel claimed to her mazda missile launcher was located in the area, palestinians were left the state as if by the attack. my son was killed. my husband uses in children,

have all been buried. what is happening to us is and fear. other countries should stand by our side. we weren't sleeping in our houses when something for you, there was a strike and all the rubble and dust fell down in top of us. it was a direct truck. it hits this is still on for people are dying. while the civilians is survived, these attacks are exposed to further dangers. as disease spreads across the enclave, 150000 gallons are suffering from a skin disease alone. according to the world health organization. local journalist from me on the how are you, brings us more from the enclave, southern coast for thousands or sheltering in dire conditions. according to locals as the international health institutions here in the gaza strip. there are about $150000.00 standing in raising the children have been hacked by skin diseases. reese diseases are sent to be caused by widespread co. you said that she was out

of the environment just so that size being to say just over 7 to and environment of sense that all of us together everywhere and the territory what our children and you are now is much more difficult and cannot be completed treated our children can no longer sleep. normally, my grandchildren conducted some scheme, allergy disease and we gave them some medicines, but it wasn't effective. they have even visited the clinic of doctors without borders yet they ologies of still in place. here is one of those pharma says that belongs to people from the displaced area of the, of the displacement area in the model i see. and the most in region i'll provide you in a city on the retail front. we're going now to talk to the pharmacist and that during the, to actually the diseases have a large to spread, including examined chicken fox available medicines are mostly pain killers. i

antibiotic anti fungal. and by the way, all of them are about to expire. and 2 to 3 months from now hub. and now the, uh, the guy says it says re to, i've really aggravated since because of that there's replacement of the $90000.00 tens of thousands of families. oh, are now taking shows are on the beach in front of gaza. i. so what you would do means that most of which was more causes of contamination and diseases. zimbabwe is pushing to completely stop using american dollars. the greenback currently accounts for over 80 percent of transactions in the southern african country. but president emerson among the has announced plans to replace the dollar with the new zig current st. standing for zimbabwe gold mine and does not like us, but you liked the money from his country. this guy, pork. so as donald p f,

band and the use of the us $1.20 and replacing it with b. as in bob land dollar, the us currency was brought back into circulation the following year, due to the cobit pandemic, to help deal with the shortage and foreign reserves. the news eg which is replacing the zimbabwe and dollar is backed by gold to stop it losing value like its predecessors. we spoke earlier with lupin the hubs the habits at oca director at university of zambia, who says the african dream of equal economic cooperation with the west? never materialized. a point, the number of guns is outside of the fighting. that is in gold. i'm much getting into switzerland or the new number. my husband is going to be, he's been kept increasing the domestic. i'm so rising countries of the i but it's a, you know, i the dream all feeling better investments. don't thing of the guy. the dream of, you know, us being able to live quantity of boxes and you know, trend of our, you know, mean or resources to, uh, to find, uh, you know,
