a major concern for human rights. activists is main opponent, vice president. lenny robledo popular with young people. but critics are concerned about her ties to the wealthy and the powerful are the content is in the race into manila is mayor escal moreno, a former t. v star is credited with the creation of affordable housing, and cleaning up the capital streets. senator pan philo locks on was a police chief who's promised to continue exposing government corruption. and then there is the former boxer money pack yahoo largely appeals to working class voters or in st. louis joins us now from outside a polling station. emily learn as we were saying, the pulse of just open people are casting their votes to stick, give us a sense of the atmosphere there. and what people have been saying to you, what the government declared monday, a national holiday. so people can come on those to cost their votes. now the polls

opened at 6, but as early as 5 15 in the morning, we saw people queueing up. you don't see them anymore because they just gone into the polling station. polls will stay open till 7 in the evening. those are longer hours than usual, but that's to accommodate cobit 19 safety measures. now the people are voting not just for precedent and a vice president, but also legislatures and local officials, thousands of local official local positions, including man, governors, the deputies and local counselors. now, whoever wins the most vote, well, when they're not going to be as 2nd round, and polls in the philippines in the last few years have generally been considered free and bad by independent election monitors. although some, some cases they have been marked by cases of political violence and also both by police have said that this year, so far they have received far fewer cases of poll related violence. and hoping that it would mean that way. that said,

the government has said didn't pass deploy troops to polling stations to ensure the security of polling stations. taurus, why have these elections been described as, as the most significant to the philippines and recent history. tell us what's at stake? well, this has been framed as a battle between truth and lies as a competition between those who remember the past and those who are seeking to revise history. and this really relates specifically to the way but in and marco's junior has been running his campaign. now, his family, the mom course name this anonymous with corruption and human rights abuses that were committed by his father with this is of marco's journey on social media. they've been posting, misleading, post, white washing that period of philippines, history as a golden age for the philippines when there was peace and prosperity and

development for the philippines completely glossing over the fact that when he was deposed in the popular revolution in 1986, he left the country in huge debt. now in contrast, his closest rival, lenny robledo, has been the victim of that same tool, this information on social media. so pete, many people are saying that if marco's junior wins, than it means truth would have been defeated. and the philippines can be said to be the latest victim in a disinformation campaign that were seen in other parts of the world. and then that there is the other concern given that the philippines is still trying to recover $10000000000.00 stolen by the marcos is given that there are still cases pending against the family given that his mother has been convicted of corruption and it's out on bail pending appeal, well then there is a concern, but if marco's junior comes into power, will that more efforts to recover that wealth and also hold them accountable?

doesn't look like it, brisbin could be it further if you know what happened just a few weeks ago or persistence of writing for the next 3 days might bring the same again, several 100 millimeters of rain in the area that was previously flooded. so the risk is rising. now the tail end of it all will bring some rain to north island of new zealand, but this is really just looking a bit more seasonally. no one has been the last week or 2, attempt to come down a bit. and either going to be cloud or rain or both in the sky in southeast asia, forget this bit. look at this bit as a massive cloud up in the bay bengal. this kareem, the tropical cycling in the notion, open water. otherwise, it's just a scattering a shower, which of course we are or used to at most times of the year. but this thing, they, well it was just been named actually as a tropical cyclone is moving slowly north is going to affect north east india, then bangladesh. ah,

. they were from the occupied west bank, close to jeanine, and as you mentioned there, so there is now also a spotlight in a clamping down on the illegal workers, but illegal palestinian workers who cross into israel. and also the assessment from these really internal security forces is that these kinds of attacks, as we've seen also in the past until i've even bershana and other areas are carried out by individuals which make them a far more difficult to prevent. so that's a concern, certainly moving forward, also an assessment from them saying that they did perhaps expect these kinds of attacks to potentially continue throughout the year. a former security chief who led a crackdown on pro democracy protest. as is hong kong new leda. john lee was chosen by an election committee committee of about 1500 members who had been vetted to ensure their loyalty to china's government. lee was the only candidate, adrian brown reports from hong kong. with china's endorsement, it was just

oh, it was an election day of one candidate, 3 protesters and lots of police, 7000 officers, in fact, enough to keep the few dissenting voices well away from the convention center where the vote was held. analysts say the john lee has china's trust, but winning the trust of hong kong could be more difficult. trust can be rebuilt through several ways. one way is by restoring a countable government in hong kong, which as in debased, i would say under the administration of kerry lamb. so that requires the cooperation of the media of ledge, co of civil society. sunday was also mother's day in hong kong. some people we spoke to were aware there was an election, but just weren't sure that the candidates name. oh sorry,

a paragraph on the 25th. there's a call to action from his supporters. they come out, they demonstrate, they make de bonds, and then i side later that day will issue a decree or make an announcement. so we saw that on july, the 25th. you saw this happen when he dissolved the subtle superior judicial council and he's been progressively dissolving or in his, his words reform me, state institutions, but consolidating power more and more in his own hands. he has taken executive power. he's taken legislative power and also traditional power, but his sort of big blockage to being a, an absolute president all political parties because political parties have come together. they hail held her plenary session of so parliament session. and that's when he dissolved parliament officially. but political parties are still part of

a movement calling itself citizens against the crew. and then we also have the, the sort of morse fall right, movement to the popular historian party, that all against britain against co side railing against his decisions. so there's still quite a lot of opposition that he needs to overcome. so what we expect is that he will dissolve political parties, but people to die. are she calling for a 100 percent presidential regime? or do those chavez has been sworn in as a new president of costa rica now a former well bank official defeated josie maria for garris. they've been president in the mines ninety's in a run off last month. chavez served as finance minister under his predecessor, carla's alvarado case santa until his resignation in 2020 a recent death of a woman while giving birth to spot anger in santa gull of
