so my lasy who is now running against the president in that honor. we have reports of some incidents in the north including the killing of the head of a polling station in the region of timbuktu not clear yet why this man was killed nor the identity of the people who killed him also reports of a very low turnout in the north and that has been expected because of the insecurity that's widespread there in the north and in the center of the country. expectations here about the president will win this vote by a large majority the opposition has failed to united socks and the opposition leader the man running against. so might a sissie has made a strong call to opposition leaders to stand behind him but they have many of them have refused to do that so the conclusion that insults of this election are highly

expected as a big win for president abraham. after twenty two years of negotiations the leaders of russia iran kazakhstan azerbaijan and turkmenistan have signed an agreement on the legal status of the caspian sea this means that the five countries can move ahead with sharing out the resource rich inland body of water which is the largest in the world ari chalons has the details from moscow. with the signature of five leaders more than two decades of troubled waters could be receding into history the disputes over the legal status of the caspian sea has been churning since the collapse of the soviet union. in kazakstan four of the u.s.s.r. successes states and iran took a big step towards resolving it is that because we have passed the security and stability on the caspian sea are determined by the convention which we have signed naturally it opens a wide perspective for the tight cooperation of the caspian states for solving economic and transport issues these questions will improve the living standards of

our peoples have cheney and that he has some admonish and we have shown in this convention that we stick to the principles of fairness although we did not determine the borderlines we mark that the countries with the coast of particular significance should take a special position that includes iran the dispute is centered on whether the largest inland body of water in the world is a lake or a sea defining it a lake would mean the caspian should be divided equally amongst the five countries but if it's a sea then each state gets a share in proportion to the length of its shoreline the new agreements is that it's not quite either not a lake because of its size and not a sea because it's not connected to the world's oceans so the surface will largely be open for joint use whereas the floor will be divided between russia iran turkmenistan azerbaijan and kazakstan though the exact size of each country's lot

is still to be agreed. at stake several trillion dollars worth of oil gas and pipelines for years the full economic potential of this has been blocked by the lack of a settlement the u.s. government estimates caspian gas could boost global production by twenty seven percent over the coming decade but it's not just about energy. which it which to security is very important and this is what underpins our agreement this region has an influence on afghanistan on the middle east this really affects the basic interest of our states and we need to pull together to combat the threat of terrorism and trans boundary criminality this summer it's also makes the caspian sea a lock out zone these leaders don't want anyone else meddling in their waters no country that doesn't share the shoreline will be allowed a military presence there rory chalons al-jazeera moscow and. prepared to bury their children killed. by an airstrike. conservative
