wherever you go in the world, one airline goes to make it feel exceptional. katara always going places together with . ready this is al jazeera ah, lo, i'm sammy's a dan. this is the news. our live from dog coming up in the next 60 minutes. french president, the manual, my crawl votes in an election, he hope so. give him another term. early figures show a low turnout so far pakistan's parliament to decide who replaced the prime minister, ousted in a no confidence vote. fresh from hosting the british fry minister,

ukraine's president announces the spoken to germany about imposing more sanctions on russia. plus. our government is not perfect. we've never climb debris, australia's prime minister gears up for the fight of his political life, calling an election next month. allan sport vari, sharla clair has continued to set the early pace in a former one season. he won the australian grand prix to extend his lead at the top of the world title standing now early turn out figures suggest lower enthusiasm for the french presidential election than previous years. manuel micron is looking to remain in the alizae palace 11 challenges hoping to replace him there. vo, bernard smith begins, are coverage from paris. emmanuel micron wants a 2nd term as president, something no incumbent in france has managed in the last 20 years. if he succeeds,

he be only the 4th french leader to do so. since the beginning of the 5th republic . in 1958 marine la pan from the far i national party is one of 11 other candidates standing in his way. she promises in her manifesto to curb immigration and make it illegal for muslims to wear, had scarves in public spaces. but a campaign has focused on the cost of living crisis. it's the number one concern for french voters ahead of the war in ukraine. the environment and health care was soup strickler. my concern is her future. of course i am worried about the cost of living, but the main thing for me is the action needed to fight climate change shipper could, could tell she, michael, i want everything to change that we go back to a sweeter life where we stop talking about money and about profit and put being human at the heart of the discussions. it probably dr. shaw. like do you don't

damage and the international situation, the scary was a war going on in europe. i think it's a big worry. and then an appointment is also a concern if night slowing far left candidate john luke meant on. sean is hoping to make it to a 2nd round of voting. that'll be in 2 weeks. if no candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote, and that's never happened since france started directly electing its precedence in $965.00 issue of refugees. the also is the 2nd left aspect. i mean, as a consequence of equation ukrainian crazes that could have an impact on the votes. today in the after 2 weeks pulse close at 8 pm on sunday in major cities, 7 pm in the provinces. a concern this time is they'll be a low turn out because people feel the result is a foregone conclusion. a pre election poll suggested 3rd of registered french voters will bother to capture the fall and that would be

a record. now there's no exit polling here, but we'll get a good indication of who might go through the 2nd round of voting just after 18 hours. gmc that's, i'm think it's a release from ballad counted by the pulse, close an hour earlier. i was there. tasha boston joins us live from paris. natasha. those early turn out figures weren't looking so good. is it picking up now? hello. this polling station central past the sunny. been quite a lot of people coming to fe. those quite acute behind me a short while ago. but it seems the path that is not the picture elsewhere in the country because we have had the turnout figures at mid day, french time. and according to the french interior ministry, 25 percent of eligible voters have out. she cast their ballots. it's low, but it's not drastically low. 3 points lower than it was in 2017. there were 28 percent,

had co cast their votes at around the same time. but you know the has been little enthusiasm for this election. it really seems as if the campaigns never really got off the ground. you might say that's the least what many people have been saying in a recent weeks. and people think quite weary. we've had the coven pandemic for a couple of years. people are very preoccupied looking at the war in ukraine, and there is the sense that we saw in 2017 amongst people. but they're simply fed up for the political system. they're fed off of politicians that fed up of a politics. they don't feel massively motivated. nevertheless, they certainly have a certain amount of choice. you've got 12 presidential candidates, everything from anti capitalist to the far right and everything in between, including the friendship president about. oh my god, who wants a secondary term? his main child challenger, i marine the pen of the far right and certainly a run, a very tight campaign, according to her support as men we might have shown marshall and from the far left also posing something of a challenge,

perhaps even making it to the 2nd round it is interesting though i speaking to one woman a bit earlier, who said to me that she hankered for the old day. she said back then you had to main political parties in france. you had the conservatives, all right. you had the socialist on the left and she said actually made it so much easier to pick. and natasha. let's take us through the some of the key issues which are facing voters right now. while the main concern, really, for most voters in france has been the cost of living, it is something that people will talk about repeatedly wherever you are in the country. they are seeing prices rise, the cost of food, the cost of petrol. people are very worried indeed about about their bank accounts, about their money at the end of the month. they're struggling financially was an issue during the yellow vest protests a few years ago. it is still an issue today,

and that is also linked to another big concern in the selection. that, of course, is russia's invasion of ukraine. people looking at that very carefully indeed they see a war in europe. they see europe in crisis. some of them are frightened, they're worried and they see the impact also on the prices are the issues. immigration, of course, that has played very heavily in this campaign, particularly a with the far right parties and the emergence last year. all of a new, a face in this race if you like eric some more former tv punted to is also a take it very tough and hard line on immigration. and then you have other issues, things like climate change. they haven't actually been, or perhaps at the forefront of many people's minds, a during the selection. perhaps they haven't been a top of a gender topic for some of the candidates. but still of course, one of the main, one of the main issues for some more i thank so much and cash about whether hello my name. my call is a former banker and economic adviser to president francois molanda. his central

party aims to draw support from the mainstream, left and right. as president introduced unpopular pension reforms and faced the countries long running yellow vests protest. marina pan is running for president for the 3rd time. she succeeded her father is the leader of the far right national front policy. rebranding it as the national rally. staying in paris. victor malaise . the paris bureau chief for the financial times and joins us good to have you with us. so is it the cost of living? that is the deciding question for most voters. i think i think you're, you're mentioned that it is the issue that has really come up in a lot the weeks of the campaign. and it is the thing that people are most concerned about. and it's also the theme, the marine actually gone on. i'm not very successfully on the trips around the

country to villages and, and times across the country. and she's emphasized that rather than the politics to what she's back to know, which are actually anti immigration policies. and i'll still teach towards nato in the you. so this issue a crisis custom living, although it's actually in front and it is in other european countries, it's still very much that kind of stephen become let me jump in, then let me jump in the question because it was really interesting that you mentioned that in the last few weeks, i'm wondering, is there a connection with the war in ukraine in terms of both the rising cost of living in france, the cost of petrol and, and so on. and also the pivot in the, in the rhetoric of, of candidates like marine the pen, as you mentioned, that pivoting away from attacking nato and you and towards other issues. yeah, i mean, i think you're right the, the, certainly the war sort of steeply pushed up the cost of capital and diesel

and gas. all that actually, the french consumer is not with people with eating. and they're actually quite protected from those price rather than gas, for example, because they have a lot of electricity in that system that allows the government to, to limit limit process quite a lot. but it's also true that the, even before the ukraine or the immigration as an issue, had gone on much boosted by eric demo. and he can see not seems to be even more extreme, more for us about immigration than reading the past be so even even earlier this year, before the invasion, that actually started there was a tendency to think more about economic issues. i think i'm really in the sense that i'm very much interesting if mac crohn doesn't when this one is it fair to say france is going to have all of the french political scene is

going to have a major shift to see that we're going much further right, or much further left. ah, yes, i mean, what do you say when that's why i mean, what we're facing now is brian, where it's going to be done to candidate. and if my car is not in that, in that 2nd run, that qualified today is likely to do. but there is a small possibility that the 2nd ride will be between the independent right. if i definitely, we know that we will place a very, very substantial political crisis like this problems, whichever candidate will they will be more or less. and he, you and, and he is skeptical about as to as to institution. if my call gets into the 2nd round as expected, then he has to be i'm, he will very much be focusing on that issue of, you know,

from his place in the world of, you know, what we do about the cry and how important europe is from his point of view, and he will be trusting himself very much with the pan. probably be the person with him in the 2nd. all right, let's broaden the outfront global audience and, and talk about this election in terms bigger than france. what's the stake here? is it, is this election basically going to determine whether european populism and t, u and t. multilateralism is ascendant or descended is, is that what's also at stake here? well, yes, but i would say that even if you have to the right. but even if marine lapel does not win this one, she is almost certain to have the highest score of power rises ever had and presidential election from which means that the will be greater than it would be even if she doesn't actually become present on april 24th,

so whichever way you look at it, it is very much still in, i think the whole, the whole sort of movement towards nationalism as an, if you like, certainly towards a hostility towards globalism or google it like, like a manual. we saw it with election of donald trump in 2016. we saw it before that in the same year with breakfast. and we've seen it in many other countries around the world where sort of you know, anti internationalists, brain nation is pretty popular as needed to send to when all right, good to get your thoughts. thanks so much for joining us. victor. thank you. on pakistan's asset prime minister, him on carla's cold and supporters to rally nationwide off, they lost no confidence vote. it followed a tumultuous week, which sol can side stepan, early. a move against him in parliament, victoria gate and b reports. unless it was after midnight in islamabad,

where members of parliament voted on the mation of no confidence, months, subtler after a nearly 14 hour standoff between him run cons, ruling party, and the opposition $174.00 members have regarded their war to in favor of the resolution consequently, the resolution reward of no confidence against mister him, ron hon, the prime minister of islamic republic of august, none has been paused by a majority of the total membership of the national assemblies. ah. gone is the 1st prime minister in pakistan to be ousted by a new confidence date opposition leader she by sharif, who's likely to succeed him? said pakistan had been freed from a crisis girl all arm key. a new dawn has started, a new day is coming, a law has answered the prayers of millions of pakistani mothers, sisters, daughters, elders, and youth. ah con, says he won't accept in opposition,

government and blame the us for leading a conspiracy to remove him. he is called on his supporters to hold nationwide rallies by him and come boys to learn con has been moved to a foreign conspiracy. god willing, we will fight back to make him prime minister again. we don't want these thieves. oh, concert we will is the culmination of months of political turmoil and a week long constitutional crisis. the opposition put forward and no competence. nation to parliament. last sunday, the deputy speaker blocked the nation, saying it was unconstitutional and involved foreign interference. may dispute 0. my use on cons, advised pakistan's, president diesel's parliament that the supreme court ruled that was illegal. wiley man has lost the battle in the parliament. he still has a large following in the field, especially among the young. and they are fairly committed to a lot will depend how this group under him run on is going to react to interact

with the new government. because overnight the new government will not be able to solve the problems of the economy. the relationship with the military, the u. s. state department has denied any involvement in pakistan's internal politics. parliament will meet on monday to appoint a new prime minister party studying victoria gay to be out there and he has got to come on high to now. he joins us from islamabad. so are people responding to their calls for protest forming wrong. com? when enron con, as you saw in that report, still has considerable support, is the largest party in parliament, redondo, and 55 seats. all, all he had to be now staged. it is an expectation that a cross focused on people will come out. in fact, a party has also announced that on wednesday there will be

a huge riley in the city of shaw with the high brooklyn, while province. this is a province where it's par did in majority in the provincial assembly. he has considerable support dad, so we do expect people to come out. we've been speaking to a lot of people who are quite dismayed and disappointed at the events that transpired last night. despite the fact that them, ron con, while that they would fight to the end. however, it will be important to see what kind of support is going to get on their streets. is not a dave of god has been selling people in august on believe conspiracy, jody. they believe that it's great, didn't do it. and so it will be important to see what kind of support in ron khan and his party will be able to do much stuff as far as the brought. it's all good. all right, and a considerable challenge remains ahead for the favorite success to tell us a little bit about that. well,

the challenges of god for the success is the economy. that it also another important issue, the focused on teddy can solve it now. likely to fit in the op ordination, although david did, they may design from parliament move, which many people to say would not be favorable to him. ron con, because you still have to substantiate brendan since parliament, but shabazz should. he also has a case against him. he would have been before a court of law on the 11th. he's out on band and i've got a b t. i will try to put in a response by saying that such a man should not be qualified to be the leader of the house. however, the opposition has thrown it support entirely behind shot by city, and the leader of the house will be elected to morrow. debug it on friday, you can solve it also fielding. it's candidate a form of prime foreign minister,

sorry. and shop memory ratio would likely to be the all positions candidate. so indeed, monumental developments expected to morrow and it will become clear whether shabazz judy will be able to get the support data wise. all indications are that the 9 party alliance which brought they said no confidence move against them. ron khan is going to throw their support behind a candidate official box. very thanks so much. come on high, 20 more. still ahead on the news now. we need to ukrainian company director who's refilled this business body armor. and we have action from our golf. so we're a new us master champion. could be crowned on sunday. ah,

a palestinian woman has died in the town of her son west of bethlehem after she was shot by israeli forces. earlier on sunday, these are the military carried out raids in the occupied. westbank says at least 20 people have been detained so far. the palestinian ministry of health says 11 people were injured during confrontations with israeli troops. israel has been on high alert since a palestinian gunmen killed 3 people in tel aviv night last week. marian, but he is a political writer and researcher she explains, wants fueling the tensions between israelis and palestinians. these are palestinian acts of resistance and confrontation. i think it has less to do with the fact that it's some of the on and more to do with the fact that for the past couple of years, israel hasn't been increasing. it has been intensifying and further brutalizing its assault on palestinians. it's gone to a point where and nobody say,

not palestinians with israeli citizenship, not palestinians, and the best. they're not policy in the west and not palestinians and forced exile . and i really think that the settler regime is reaching a point where it's we either take it all now, or we risk losing parts of it, you know, dirt or annexation. natalie bennett didn't have much to do with the changes. this is the part and parcel of these really secular regime in terms of settlements across the west bank as well as an historic palestine. there has been an intensification of land seizures, but burning palestinian all the groves of a mass detention and incarceration of politically active use as well as demolitions . we have reached some peak frequencies in demolitions of palestinian civilian

infrastructure in 48 as well as on the west bank in jerusalem. and with that, let's not forget the carpet bombing that took place last year in the us as well. so there is a complete full force going on with the aiding and abetting of the international community with the israeli judicial system playing a key part in it. and the continued militarization of these really population new crimes president volumes zalinski says he's can to the german chancellor about imposing more sanctions on russia on the ground than your crying official save, recover the bodies of 2 people from a grave in the village of bizarre voe which is just outside key if it's the latest such discovery in areas previously held by russia. rob mcbride, jones us now from the raven, rob, but it's been the talk you've been talking about the diplomatic solution. but any

indication diplomacy is actually advancing at this point to me, not to seeing this flurry of diplomatic activity as the sky has again confirmed that he does want to see ultimately negotiated settlement a peace agreement to end this war. he's given an interview to the associated press, saying that nobody wants to negotiate with person or persons who he says are torturing his nation. but he is pragmatic. he had said after the discovery of alleged war crimes, as russian troops and units were pulling back from a cave in places like butcher and so on, that it would be very difficult for him ever to sit face to face across the negotiating table with lighted may putin who he regards as a war criminal, but again, i did that ultimately that has to be in the go see ation to end this war once and for all saying that you can't fight for dust, meaning that, you know,

you can't carry on fighting if there's nothing left to fight for, so the sooner they will can be ended, the better just to give an idea of the civilian told that this war is taking off the 6 weeks of wolf. and now we've had a confirmation from the attorney general that the total number of civilians killed in a keep old glass. that's the key region around the area in and around the capital now stands at $1222.00 and rob. there's been a lot of promises of support in the last 24 hours from various western leaders the, the visiting or calling do ukrainians feel they are getting the level of support they want from the west. now there is a certain amount of skepticism here about the military aid that is being given. yes, they've welcome the announcement from the u. k. that so they're, they're giving a $120.00 armored vehicles also anti ship missiles. now this really would try to

correct the balance if you like, down on the cell, on the southern coaster of cry, over of ukraine, where the a russian navy dominates in the black sea. but a lot of the aid given so far from nato countries has been the smallest stuff. it's been effective. they see these shoulder mounted very mo, mobile anti tank systems and anti aircraft missiles which are have be very effective on the, on the battlefront. but what sir ukraine wants are the big ticket items, main battle tanks as much more powerful and t i aircraft missiles capable of reaching much higher altitudes planes, et cetera. and they feel as though they don't getting that there is a suspicion here that the nato is holding back on giving these and much more sophisticated, more powerful systems. because ultimately they fear getting a more directly involved in a conflict with a nuclear armed russia. and i think there is some truth to that, but the ukrainians have been finding various ways of overcoming different to sure

to jason shortfalls that they have in supporting their armed forces. and you see that all over ukraine and here the here in the west of the country as well. individuals and companies try to provide things that the armed forces need, for example, there is at the moment a shortage of body armor. it's a long way from any front line, but these volunteers are doing what they can for their countries war f. this is the director of this company decided when the war broke out, he had to do something that should me. i was thinking, what can i do, and how can i help in this war? at my age, i saw that people were getting weapons, but there was nothing to protect them. ah, this is what his company was doing before the war. creating laser liked presentations for company events and promotions. now, his staff helped by volunteers make the plates needed for body armor with ukraine

struggling to find enough for expanding ranks of soldiers. the finish plates are then put inside a vest one front and one back at the rate of more than $200.00 pieces of body armor per week, and all of them going to the front. as soon as they're made. the 1st plates were tested to make sure they can stop high velocity, bullets and shrapnel splinters. and the ballad come in on this plate and explode the us explodes and the small pieces of, of the ballot. and, and this layer observe, observe, observe, wow, one day when that country is once more at peace, these engineers and designers will return to more creative work. for now, they say their priority is getting vests to fellow ukrainians to stop russian bullets. robert bride al jazeera, the vive. now romania says it's welcoming thousands of ukrainian refugees every day

. many have fled southern ukraine after staying as long as they could. i a harding reports. sun goes down, hundreds of people prepared to leave as fighting intensifies in the south of ukraine. under the cover of darkness, a fairy full of cars carrying people in their belongings, crosses the danube river into romania, the coast guard escorts them to safety. i came from odessa be planned to leave on sunday. we knew there was a curfew for the days when my family and i decided to leave because he's the 1st armed as a day long curfew in the village. even family pets are welcomed here alongside her mother. this little girl is seemingly unaware of the danger she's fled. why not? it's war. of course it's war yesterday. iraq. it flew above our house and exploded . it's very scary. children are scared. that's why we're leaving volunteers from abroad, like this man from the us greet the weary travelers and help prepare food and warm

places for them to sleep. he says most people, he's helped our women and children. we've been through about 8 different centers where we've delivered food. i just did a, we purchased a couple of washing machines for one of the centers because one of the greatest needs has been being able to wash the clothes. and so we were able to, to help with that as well. this is the 1st time these ukrainians have been made. refugees, many here say they planned to return home once the fighting stops. leah harding al jazeera wise time for the weather. his kara hello there was got in the middle east and it's all about the heat. we've seen temperatures above average across much of the region will things are going to cool down slightly across all event. thanks to a weather system that's pushing its way east out of turkey, we'll see some of the winds pick up for places like 11 on and syria. but down and further south of this,

the folks i will come out stronger, has been a foreign spirit against the people who are rising figure, who is both loved and load in pakistan. he was the favored candidate of many 1st time voters, the youth as con, called them. it's a border disrupted tradition and politics and the last few years that energy and aggressive social media presence. the 69 year old politician promised to build a new pakistan, create millions of jobs and homes, undertake ambitious reforms of taxes and bureaucracy and root of corruption. but instead he faced public anger because of soaring inflation, a plummeting groupie and crippling debt. he also had to backtrack from his pledges not to seek help from the international monetary fund. instead, his government asked for a $6000000000.00 rescue bill out from the i m f, and also took loans from saudi arabia, china. despite a track record of establishing a hospital and a university, his detractors say he failed to deliver on his promises to his credit, eminent hon,

enhanced by dishonest poverty alleviation program. during his tenure relations verse and with neighboring india, as government was criticized for not doing enough when india change the status of the dispute, it could be region. internationally imminent, hon championed raising awareness against islam of phobia. mr. prison. islam of phobia is another punishes phenomenon that we all need to collectively compact the aftermath of the 911 terrorist attacks dennis, them has been associated with islam by some goals. he also offered to mediate between ukraine and russia. the youth in china and in the conflict between saudi arabia and iran. the charismatic leader tried to reinvent himself using piety and religion, and media attention never left his private life for marrying british socialite jim, i'm a goldsmith with divorce for journalists re, hom, hon. even his 3rd marriage with the spiritual advisor brochure, b. b has not been without controversy. i'm glad to say i am prime minister of you

jones. only an idiot doesn't do any utahns. it's widely believed that han fell out of favor with marcusson's powerful military establishment. after failing to deliver this position, politicians who called him a selected prime minister use the military neutral role as a significant behind the scenes player to reclaim members of parliament who were poached by him. and his party pockets on derek in soft schedule was once again under the leader is out. no prime minister has completed 5 years in office since independence. some of a job with other 0 is love about more protests are being held into nicea. people are angry that 20 members of the now dissolved parliament being investigated. politician to park in an online parliament session in late march to protest against president science decision to disband it inside accused him of trying to stage a coup. volkswagen is in tunis, jones of life. how

a protest looking well the price, i says that she been slowing down, but there was some 4000 people or so on avenue boat dba. it's almost double the amount that we saw at the last big for test back in march in front of the parliament building. it's been mostly peaceful, but the police have been trying to disperse people. and they sent me sort of a lot of road blocks and stopped more people coming out for the, the round about the, the roads leading into avenue bulky by. so although it's been peaceful, it's been heavily controlled. i'm they, they've also been putting out an image as a sort of piece of propaganda to make it that only about $400.00 people took part. but it, so it's a very crudely put to get a digital image. and that one of the activists within the move makes jacqueline mode barrett said to please, are you counting yourselves,

not us. so this certainly as a, as swelling in the movement and it's more diverse. a lot of people have been accusing this is being primarily and after the is louis party. that was the largest party in parliament. but we're seeing much more diversity. we leftist groups like amal at taking fountain, actually was seeing more diversity during the plenary session. and parliament coming together actually as an institution and at a z a, we've seen him announce chi site that is announced a bunch of new projects. is it winning him support or skepticism? it's a mixture that they sent me. wade hayes that a rhetoric can trying to find new enemies to blame, to nature's problems on this seems as a sort of a panacea or it's, you're kind of crating it a bit of hope in what is that she generally a very bad situation. the economy is really tanking. we've seen the the dean, all full, a 2 year 3 g knowledge to the dollar yesterday. say things are in very poor shape.

so for people who are sort of on the fence, it is a bit of a high permit. this is sort of feed was some people are falling back in love with ty side, but others are saying this is just a faint hope, an empty promises because the country needs 7000000000 dollars there in finance ministers that they need to borrow $7000000000.00. and at the moment i be the i m f took so preceding, very slowly, and the most that they will give is full 1000000000. so a lot of this seems like at the only one that's promising is the expansion of the pipeline of gas from algeria. true to actually i was the rest just seems like pipe dreams. all right, thanks so much. lizzie, of holcman, that now striving prime minister scott morrison has admitted the conservative government isn't perfect as he called from election for may the 21st. his coalition

while morrison bank and strong economy. the kaufman budget is nearly one trillion dollars in debt. morrison's refusal to commit to facing out fossil fuels has also galvanized queen activists and independent candidates who can heard of coalition. and then there was thing ties with china, which the government has been accused of recognizing what scott morrison is known for pulling off political successes before despite significant towards priyanka severe protest, this ensure i can say they won't stuff until the president resigns. they've continued to demonstrate the gain, scott, the biology, fox and colombo, despite heavy rain frustration that the countries worsening. economic crisis is growing. mel fernandez, is that the protest in colombo? so as you can probably see behind me, i mean this is a still the protestors who are digging in here the far distance. the brown sort of

buildings is the presidential secretary very much the focus of these protest. now we had tens of thousands of people surrounding this area. they stayed right through the night or till about 2 or 3 a. m, despite the huge amount of rain and showers that came through. they did not go on this sort of cool group of 3 to 5000 people. but in the early hours of the morning, people did move out, but they're back again now again from the early hours of this morning, this crowd has been building. and it's a real multitude of sort of communities of religions, of different age groups that are families, those one man with his 3 or 4 year old dot on his shoulders who was angry. who's he said, i'm here for her? i mean, there have been sort of implications that this is a very colombo lead, elitist thing, but that is not what we're seeing on the ground. this group of young girls all qualified in i t, and working in columbus from the we are far,

far way northland or province. saying when we started our jobs, we thought we had secured great salaries in id. but just watching the last couple of weeks, it looked really bad. so the president still fighting for political survival, a lot of negotiations on the political front. one set of his partners say they want to ward for no confidence motion. another set supposed to meet him this afternoon, but the protest as he has say, they're here for the long haul. they want to see got up a roger box and his government leave. now those is in the gambia have been choosing the makeup of their national assembly. 53 seats are being contested. another 5 will be appointed by president, adam barrow amended, reese reports foreman's after presidential election. guardians, once again came out to vote. many of them consider this parliamentary election as important as the one that returned president item, a power to power into ag ambia. yeah, we need change yet because the we're game is going is not promising at all. it's

not promising. so we need a torch in the house of the assembly. yeah. inside the constitution can be amended . yeah, we need a, a new deaf conversation because the engine and then goes as usual, is the was because his vision ever gives more. but the presence that he considers the election unimportant start, our democrats is moving. that means defeat is level. amazing, that is very good. going forward. was it was a process on period. nother transition is over. we have consolidated or so we have been as profound isn't moving forward. the election commission says that china was much lower than in the presidential vote in december. local observers say that may be because a parliamentary vote came so soon after the presidential rigs analyst in the gambia suggest a low voter turnout could give the governing and p p party. only a small majority. if that happens, the president, then we'll have to find new partners to push through his agenda in parliament. ah,

although the president won a lunch slide re election 4 months ago and a list predict he faces tough times ahead. if he doesn't win the majority, it will be very difficult for him. but of course i thing for me as an assembly should be deal with different voices and it is there is, is the, is the benefit level for the dish. and i do see how he can work together to ensure that what is of benefit to the measure is, is advanced people in the gambia and are waiting to find out who will be representing them in parliament election. officious expect most of the results to be announced on sunday. it reese, i'll do 0 of which are a public blog bank is opened in somalia. it's the 1st and more than 30 years. the center was inspired by a doctor's personal experience. malcolm webb went and met him cooler. a tosh i made abraham says he'll never forget the day
