12:07 am
the past. and but i notice i do not. i've known him for quite some time without diverging the details of his test condition. i certainly know that he is in poor health and certainly being in a j a way to exhibit his health condition. how should the international community respond to this? i do not know really how to probably i would be a little more diplomatic, but i would say that the performance of the international community regard to mr. somebody in particular, or in general, the attitude toward the human rights abuses, rose gross human rights abuses by nicholas regime has been very, very pathetic. and it says if they have given him a blank check and every time program it tests and says that the international

12:09 am
which obviously he inspired. how is he viewed inside the country? it's very difficult really to get the few the views of ordinary one ends on the streets because everything and i'm sure they like so virgin and the international media. people who were to see one side of one does not deny to buy a gun, me and, and his colleagues and it's very difficult to, to, to generate a get. what did people feel for would like to say, because there is no freedom of speech in the country, there is no particles facing the country and you know what you're here in the voice of gummy and his colleagues. but regarding group says, somebody says why didn't contributed a lot. in fact, in a way that tempt me in the fall or projecting this wanda, in places where it was very, very difficult to to understand what took place in wonder. and i think the
12:10 am
visibility that says so you know god simply act it disturbed me because the standard narrative in new wonder is that it is a story in wanda on the heels that total is me. and henrique, again, me and, and i think so i, you know, started getting into trouble. when, of course the profile was very much evicted. dispatcher, he ended tape, but yeah, that program that says the white man landed into which is my program or the program. every one and one of the tried to speak against, against the regime about the day human rights abuses. is that right? you know, i did his voice to the voice of other one then pointing to the human rights abuses in wonder and lack of democratic government. so cognition of his profile being elevated and speaking out on the issues of wonder is of course what he's,

12:14 am
much easier for ourselves, we would have done it prior to june when the president has 1st foreign trip or earlier this summer. despite whitehouse denials the travel requirement announcement appears deliberately time to ease tensions with allies. now the u. s. president is armed with good news as he prepared to meet face to face with world leaders and address the un general assembly. kimberly hell kit al jazeera, the white house you the news, our life from london still ahead on the program. roches communist accused the authorities of math election fraud after the ruling party went. and now the majority in the parliament the head and legacy of decades of war, why the taliban takeover could mean an end to vital lessons. teaching afghan children, the dangers of unexploded munitions, and the late transport we'll hear from roger federer on how he's recovering from

12:18 am
accusing the authorities, a fraud supporters of the communists have rallied in the capital moscow. they say that was widespread lo, tampering, greeting, ballot, stuffing and forced voting algebra responded. smith has been following the story and he reports now from washing capital moscow. as the results came in across 11 time zones, it quickly became clear that rushes republic, territories, and regions had delivered the victory vladimir putin expected. the pro kremlin united russia party has kept its 2 thirds majority in parliament, allowing it to change the constitution because the turner was more than $51.00 the same and he's much more than 47 percent of the previous relation. but it shows that people take the whole nation of the highest representative agency of state power in the states humor. but the 3 day vote was plagued with claims vote rigging such as ballot box stuffing,
12:19 am
electronic voting and moscow seems to been particularly difficult to check on a 100.4 percent of these results on the government's website show a 100.4 percent of those registered to cast their vote, which is not possible, it's something that impossible to trust, even if the elections would have been nothing. electronic voting and moscow seems to been particularly difficult to check. a 100.4 percent of these results on the government's website show a 100.4 percent of those registered to cast their vote, which is not possible. it's absolutely impossible to trust even if the elections would have been perfect since the beginning of the year. we began, we experienced our huge crack down of a new life independent political life. we saw that failure moved, and while the court last droll on our backs that was evoking and the whole result now hung mckayla bonnam had been far ahead after the count of the manual votes,
12:20 am
but was to united russia once long delayed electronic votes were added upon off standing with the communists had benefited from tactical voting. he was one of more than a 1000 candidates, identified by opposition. activists as being best place to be united, russia, due to the communist party, has rejected the election results. we got what i say as a mathematician overnight, united russia results had been growing communists. results of the falling and to the parties. results haven't been changing. this is a mental, the falsification is unacceptable in any country love calls before the ballot had suggested the frustration with years of falling living standards and corruption would dent united russia support, but it was down only 4 percent on the previous elect. the election was widely seen the vital parts of blood, but the cement is great on power. ahead of the 2024 presidential election. the
12:21 am
president hasn't said yet whether he'll stand the candidate again, bernard smith, i'll just era, moscow and opposition, politician who is up against so called a spoiler candidate, has lost his election bars vision f ski made headlines before the vote when he came to candidates had changed their names and appearances to resemble him, he says they did so to confuse voters and deliver victory to a pro kremlin candidates. plimmer results suggest he was defeated by the candidate from the united russia party. he says he was then prevented from filing a formal complaint as bringing alex tito of his lecture in warden, european history, queens university, belfast joins a spy, skype festival. how would you describe the atmosphere and the conditions in which this election was held? what i was interested just earlier this month and the elections where
12:22 am
very kind of sub use the topic wasn't particularly does it for people who are not directly engaging in the politics. i think there is a bride to what voter apathy towards an actual process which is not surprising since the authorities doing their best to prevent any real competition in the elections. could you explain that of a law? how engaged is russian population in a vote like this? i know that it's difficult to establish but to people believe it's going to make any difference or that they could bring about change. well, i think there is, obviously russia is a very diverse country and you have different population groups. you know, the most active, but you can be involved, people in, you know, bring up all people's activities to support us. there's no money there were completely bought from the elections of the independent media,
12:23 am
which was remaining was severely restricted to integrations. be independent observers where removed from doing the job and so forth. but at the same time, you have a large number of people who simply live in parallel reality and not particularly interested in politics at all. i mean 51 percent is not particularly high by world standards, but the patient and that's also the authorities increase the voting process from one day to 3 days and introduced electronic voting in the various places. so i think there is this general kind of disengagement from, from the political process where you can see that the nothing can change through the ballot box. busy and people just get on with their lives not not bothering to, to, to engage in the same time you have to have some movement. communists getting much better coming is becoming the main a position bought here, where the protests broadest being channeled to. but again,
12:24 am
it's not enough to really make a big difference in the system itself is very focused on visiting status quo and there isn't much momentum from the, from society to change to the moment that this, that's the way i see things. now, official figures as he say, suggest a 52 percent turn out. does that mean that economic most of ation was the main reason for that? well, i thought it best to attract those groups of religion, which would vote for them and discourage those who would oppose them. so you have a kind of quite substantial reimbursement. besson to various fonts. all the pensions got $10000.00 roubles, extra old children of school age got extra money and a job before the elections and so forth. over the summer, you have various attempts to increase participation by introducing a new budget,
12:25 am
for example, this. so there's always was always full blotches in the parliament. now there are 5, those in you bought, which supposed to appeal to this over middle class, which been particular pretty much for the regime. but overall, the people, it's kind of accepting via that the politics as they are and, and get on with their life. the is, this is this, it might shoot them in a sense. but as your report was mentioning, there are, you know, various way of increasing participation, even if actual people don't turn up. but the same time, you know, there's a very fine balance that fundamentally, the reason is still based on democracy in the formula to democracy. they need to have some form of participation in the less people engaged. the more criminal logic deserving of the status quo will be. thanks so much alex tito, for joining us from belfast and q. i'm moving on an original affiliate of the group
12:26 am
