1:03 pm
gulf says the scale of reported fraud is unprecedented with the sherman or pursuit . certain bicola opposition is to demonstrate the not everything is destroyed that there are still some alternative methods of influencing politics. it's a modest go, but extremely important because at one end of the scale is the idea of totalitarian power. muddled on the soviet union. when the elections showed 99.9 percent, no matter how people actually voted. russia's election commission has rejected allegations of widespread ballot rigging and says the voting system couldn't be more transparent. like when she bought a lemon. dear friends, let me congratulate you all for a clean and honest victoria. i just spoke with the chairman of the party demitria, a television adventure. he fell ill and as a severe coffee, so he could not be with us today. but he asked to convey to all of you his words of enormous gratitude, which of you have contributed to our overall result. thank you very much,
1:04 pm
bye. by this miss johnny has lived now from moscow, the united russia party seems to be holding onto its majority. one would imagine that's not much of a surprise in russia. you know, it isn't rob. it was essentially essentially conduct as it was predicted. we've got now 970. the vote counted according to the leader board behind the control election commission. and we're hearing from a parade of help serve as invited by the russian government of all essentially said the same thing that the vote will open and transparent. and i'm just going as wayland delegate describe this in a day festival. democracy is not what physician are described because all the independent monitoring groups who counted widespread allegations on the regularities of people being stopped from kinds of the vote challenges of counting the votes. and particularly unusual here in moscow is the fact that the results of
1:05 pm
electronic voting still have not been released in this city. you would think electronic voting would be instant. but while the pump results have been unofficially leaked, they have not been officially confirmed in moscow. where some of the anti united russian candidates, those candidates who are identified as benefiting from tactical voting. a thought to her benefits here in the hope of displacing united russia candidates who have not have the final tale on how they've done yet. and it's unusual, this e voting results not yet been. remember, a full vote was kept in this election. the odds were set against any opposition candidates, any serious candidates or the bond from voting, they would jail while they were exiled to everything was awaiting favor of the united russia winning the kremlin, wanted it to retain the super majority that was approved by the much indeed bernard
1:06 pm
smith, talking to us from moscow that's bring in dmitri about it. she's a political analyst with a c and so forth. yeah. it's a news media companies joining this by skype from moscow. good to have you back with us on all just 0. what is the, this dip in support for united russia? tell us about how people are feeling in russia at the moment. what was the last election in 2016 united russia was 6 percent more than today. it was 54 percent. and now it's between 48 and 49 percent. well, this so called gifted, you know, majority was possible because united russia, one in a lot of so called single mandate constituencies where people are, what would you do for a person not for a parties? well, that's understandable because most of the governors, most of the state officials are united,
1:07 pm
russia members and electro least this time was headed by our foreign minister. well, who is a big, popular person? the full in the sympathy for united russia, these 6 percent, i think, is explained by someone popular measures that president coherent had to take. and united russia supported them such as pension reform, radio, the pension age, which is, i think, and he says, in the more than world and the anti a call, these measures were not very poor people in russia, even though of course, russia was a lot more liberal about this anti corporate measures than the context of western europe or the states. if you compare moscow now to paris or berlin, moscow is much free or c t. but of course, people did not like grants. i could be measures and the pressure has to pay a price not to not very high on know. as we heard from bernard smith,
1:08 pm
fair official observe, is a saying that this vote was transparent and yet also we've heard about opponents being barred from running prior to the elections. we've heard a critical media, non government organizations being targeted. our tough does that make it for russia to persuade the rest of the world that its elections are free and fair. well, the european parliament unfortunately already declared the selection unfair before it even started. and also the european parliament cooled our government eclip talk unit statement. when people read it in russia, even those who are critical of the government, they do not agree with this kind of attitude from the west. because after all, we want to be treated as equals to one to be treated as a normal character. these kind of edges you better than i do because i'm democratic
1:09 pm
russians view it as a new for racism. so i think it was a mistake on the side or the west to behave like that was there were exaggerations like low mold, formerly legion french daily. said that not a single opposition candidate to caught in the ball. that's clearly not true. even if we take the radical one type, which isn't petitions, i saw a lot of them on the ballad model, them, i don't know what was running in my mind, actual district. and the person who was in my district was actually the one suggested by mister, only smart wrote in michigan. the problem is that he's a woman just and he's a started. so i for example, was not born with you. i don't visibly, some people who wanted to protest had this opportunity to protest. so in general, i would say that the voltage in russia during these 3 days, they could not make or when they were prevent them from making evolution. or they could send
1:10 pm
a message to the government and they sent the message at the fact that the largest, the did best in the communist are the ones demanding more social a to population. more attention for the family is more attention for the poor. the left gets program is obviously get more popular in russia, and that was the message that the vote just good to the government and they sent it to the government during this war. we appreciate your being with us as always on. i'll just hear me father. thank you very much. indeed. people have been killed in a shooting in the russian city of palm, according to investigators. several others are reported to have been injured. shooting on a university campus seems to have ended. students were earlier in jumping from classroom windows to escape an afghan on groups linked to isis has claimed responsibility for bombings in the city of july about over the weekend. the group

1:13 pm
floods of to cancel the collecting. some the team tell us we can leave the camera, but move back to a safe area before they conduct a controlled explosion. before the taliban retook control last month, no bomb disposal team had come to this area of water, the province because it was too dangerous. bombed out the villages show how intense the fighting was. the situation is calm now, but a lethal and hidden legacy remains. 5 children killed and another 12 injured in one incident near this village experts are saying that there are hundreds of villages in this area around which they believe that could be tons of unexploded ordnance. the teams coming into this area to try and clear it are appealing for international health. taliban fighters take us to an abandoned us based on
1:14 pm
a hill close by a few destroyed military vehicles. ransacked, planning and living quarters, surrounded by blast bag walls is all that remains local. say foreign soldiers use the surrounding areas a firing range, which is now littered with unexploded ammunition. experts say if lives are to be saved, the international community has to release funding that it froze when the taliban took control last month on the main planets and the mining organisations are funded by the international community. but that has now stop and there are incidents every day the u. s. and need to need to come hear them senator. you want to clear it up or send other organizations to has a life is on the surface at least returning to normal in this village. but the people are afraid that what lies hidden around them could destroy many more lives for years to come. charles stratford al jazeera war duck. i've got to stop
1:15 pm
in jim's calendar, the chief executive officer of the halo trust. it's a land mine clearing charity. joining us by him from siobhan endorse a good, happy with us, and i'll just say to so thank you very much. indeed, there used to be several organizations in afghanistan clearing minds, but one would imagine that given the recent circumstances, some of those may have pulled out who is actually left to be doing the clearing. thanks so much for letting me join you this morning. actually beheaded, trust is the oldest. and by the way, the largest mine action charity in afghanistan, that we employ about 2 and a half times and stuff and the others are largely suspended if they're international. there are no other international working. some of the local, national, and joe's are there. but the big issue, of course, is funding. and the lack of current cedars presently available. given the scale of the issue that we had about in charles's package, just
1:16 pm
a moment ago when it is done to organizes organizations like yours, one would imagine that it is become more daunting and logistically, more difficult perhaps because although you can get into some areas you weren't able to get into before again, just the scale of the problem must be huge. scale problem absolute issues because what you have is the kind of base load of the old soviet era landmines and it's still a great many of them. and then the recent delayed improvised explosive devices, which have really just made landlines. and then there's a huge amount of unexpected ordinance from the recent facing. so we're here in afghanistan to clearest. we've gone straight back on the ground almost immediately after the international evacuation operation ended, we went back into 5 provinces and were now expanding up to 12 provinces with 200000
1:17 pm
stuff working so we can be there to meet this need. but what we need now is the international community to recognize the need for urgent funding to make it possible to clear this very deadly ordinance. one thing that became apparent fairly quickly after they, the foreign troops left afghanistan, was the possible rise of on groups in afghanistan. what is the risk? do you think to d miners in afghanistan who will be working, trying to deal with the scale of the problem that they're facing, that well, we have good relationships with the new government and we will have to operate in province that control by the taliban. so that's not an issue for us and we see actually far higher levels of security now than perhaps 2 months ago. and we know that the taliban want us to clear this ordinance. i think the issues about different groups, of which there are many responsive assets that we are humanitarian organization.
1:18 pm
we're here to protect the people of afghanistan. if people don't want to scenario, we won't go there. we have a big enough presence to operate in other provinces. so for us, it's about moving out of homes way rather than confronting people who wish to do his home. james cohen, it's good to have with us is always on. i'll just say we appreciate it. so thank you very much. indeed. thank you very much. probably more head on the news are including fire sweets to part with a band. and michael, he's camp in greece. even his migraines are moved to a new remote facility sizes from their homes, volcano in spain, atlantic ocean island palm must erupt for the 1st time in 50 years. and crickets, riches to keep 20 tournament by jose, gonna have the license from the indians. finally, coming up in spain, ah,

hundreds of migrants from haiti, pudding spells from the us and recreation flights of arrived in port prince. but among 13000 who gathered in a border time, some i spent years making the journeys in south america to the us up the 7 days like the plan to the major deportation operation. like a lot of them, when we didn't want to leave on the bus and board the plane, they locked us up in the bus to kind of stand up. some women even took a, beating the beat men and women know they will be ready to receive. and process these migrant supported by force in our to the airport. but the problem is that the people don't accept the force deputation because that is the reason the left. they did not want to live in haiti, or john home and reports from aconia on mexico's border with the united states for many migrant say they've suffered too much to return home. no medical. this is how
1:20 pm
one us border patrol officer to receive patient migrant crossing the rio grande. coming back with food to camp they've set up in texas. women are just why the. 6 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. i mean we've got our families inside dying of homeless. we've had to go out to buy the, we can see this one is getting back in for the come up. so they went across the mexico to get food. they said, because there isn't enough food for them to be there. in the there's more than 12000 migrants, mostly haitians in the kansas sprung up in the real texas over the last 2 weeks.
1:21 pm
they want asylum. the us authorities are overwhelmed. this is just the latest splash point in a month from surge of people illegally crossing the border. and there's little in the camp for them. not because i found it out a sanitary product was, there aren't any food. there isn't any either. they don't give you anything. we met nicholas on the mexican bank of the river, searching for food, a medicine for his family. he hadn't realized until we asked him about the us authorities rule. so now flying haitians back home. days, planes now going to people. what do you think about last month? what kills me about that is that everyone knows what we have are going through. there is no president. crime is high. students can't go to school. there is no work . the economy is down. people can't put up with the port, taishan is not good for like many others. he said he suffered to get this foe on a journey through south america, pulse gangs, and through
1:22 pm
a patch of jungle called the daddy and gut notorious for rate robbery too much for most of them. so that it was really difficult. i saw a lot of us who died. he told me now he's touched grounds in his promised land, the u. s, but it looks unlikely he'll be able to stay the in the rush with food. we didn't see him make it back across the river into texas. and by the afternoon, mexican security forces were patrolling the river to it was even tougher. mexican authorities have opened the dime further upstream, which i do quite regularly. but it will, it means is that these people are now struggling even more to get across the waters a lot deeper here. it's just another obstacle in another danger. held them as they try and get into the united states john home and how does it? i couldn't you grace has started moving asylum seekers to the 1st of several new come soon as island is funded by the european union rights groups say they're in remote locations with strict controls that restrict access now is before the move,
1:23 pm
fire broke out and the former camp on the island of somers. hundreds of people had already been evacuated and there are no reports of injuries. well, john said office is joining us live from the island of thomas. john, i understand that you are one of one of the new thompson the are controversial because although they are brand new and they're being funded by the e, you, there is barbed wire around it. some people are saying it's a can to a prison. that's right, it does look for bidding from the outside. when you approach it is a double chain link fence in the nato style with a patrol road running between the 2 fences. but because he's here saying that there's going to be a 12 hour free access. in other words, people can come and go between sun rise and sunset. they're going to have a magnetic code that activates the doors which are sort of turn style stadium type 2. and there's going to be 4 buses laid on for them to reach the town. this is
1:24 pm
a very different situation, a much more controlled environment, but in terms of basic amenities far superior. so what some 200 refugees being moved today from the old camp. a used to that can from was for about 700, but reached central size of about 9000 because of the makeshift structures that will put together outside it. those were made of salvage wood with car pull in or plastic sheeting nails on top of it, against the elements. here you have a hard show, contain sort of mo, bile housing unit. there is a locking from door which means people sleep securely at night. if you step inside, there is a kitchen here with a small fridge, a to top stove, and the sink, the thinking being the because asylum seekers are given roughly 500 years per
1:25 pm
family afford during the period when the asylum case is being decided. they can go and do that grocery shopping and do some of their own cooking bathroom with a shower store and sort of turkish toilet. a think very basic, but for many people, running water is a novelty. they have hot water from a solar water heater on the roof. and here, there is a bedroom with 4 bunk beds, a functioning conditioning unit. we just tried it out behind me. and this camp because its been built for 3000 and is going to be holding only a few 100 people will be filled no, in the capacity. so at least for the foreseeable future, unless there's another wave of arrivals anytime soon, the people who are living here going to have plenty of space. john, thank you very much. indeed. that's john. set off with us talking to us in the island of some us thousands of people have been told to leave their homes after
