a popular uprising in 1986, but supporters of vice president linny robledo hope she can achieve an upset victory philippine as are also voting for a new vice president. senators and members of congress, florence louis joins us from a polling station in the capital. so florence, the poles of opened, tell us what you're seeing and hearing their suppose opened at 6 in the morning and monday has been declared a public holiday so that more people can come up to cost that balance. now even before poles open, we saw people who was to chewing up, ready to vote, and this was when it was still dark. as you can see now the still here getting the details checked before they're allowed into a voting precinct. now polls will stay open till 7 in the evening. those are longer than usual hours. and that's to accommodate cove at 19 safety measures. but the commission 11 and the commission of elections has said that poles will stay open

for much longer than that. if there are still vote is chewing outside to cost that balance. now people are not just voting for a precedent and a vice president, but also let legislative senators and thousands of local positions including mez governors and the deputies. now counting will begin as soon as polls are closed, but there will be no 2nd round the person, but the most votes. well, when and found elections in the last few general elections in the philippines have generally been considered free and fair. although in some cases they have been mod by vote buying and also by political violence that police have said that in this election they have so far recorded for you were incidents of poll related violence compared to the 2016 elections. and the 2019 midterm elections and florence, these elections have been described as the most significant for the philippines in recent history. why is that, and what's at stake?

so some people have framed it as a battle between truth and lies as a competition between those who remember the past and those who are trying to revise history. and this relates specifically to how ferdinand marcus, his campaign voted. as macos, as junior, his campaign is being run. now, his father was the former president of the philippines, but his rule was maud by human rights abuses by corruption. his family stole $10000000000.00 from the nations office. but yet, his support is on social media and posting misleading information, attempting to repaint that period of philippine history as the golden age for the philippines, full of peace and prosperity. and in contrast, his closest rival, lenny robledo, has been the biggest victim of disinformation campaign, where quotes have been mangled, twist it to make a look,

an intelligent to some people are saying that if marco's junior wins, than it will mean, that truth has been defeated. and the philippines elections would have been the victim of a dis, information war that we've seen happen in other parts of the world. and then that's also this other concern. if there is another macos presidency given that the government is still trying to recover the $10000000000.00 for stolen from his family, stolen by his family, given that there are so cases that the family still owes billions in estate taxes, given that his mother has been convicted of corruption, but she's out on bail pending appeal. well then, you know the consent as well. this, well, another marcus presidency thought attempts to recover that stolen wealth and also to hold them accountable. all right, thanks so much that update. florence will be checking back with you throughout the day. i'll to 04 in st. louis, lie with all the latest from manila as voting is underway. costa rica,

new president. rodrigo chavez has promised to revive the economy, invest in education, and fight corruption. the economist and former world bank executive has also bound to tackle sexual harassment. chavez, resigned from the global linder in 2019, after nearly 3 decades following allegations of sexual misconduct. eric farnsworth is the vice president of the council of the americas. he says the new president faces a number of challenges. if you still have to compromise, he's going to have to really govern for the people and not for their own base. and in fact, he's not from an established political party. so his base is also quite narrow, although there are some indications that he is at least considering thinking about if you can't get a legislative program through the history and congress, the legislature, which is powerful and close to re gus. he has mentioned that he would not be averse to doing things like trying to roll with some executive decrees and, and trying to do things with our pilot, the legislative process that gives some concern to some outside servers for sure,

of course. so we have to see if he's actually going to do that, but i would have to say, goes to reagan, is a very strong democracy. if stomach craddick institutions are sound and most likely, if he does that, it will be at the margins costa rican, people really demand a democratic governance. he's got some real challenges, like many other people around the world in terms of inflation, in terms of consumer prices that are increasing, particularly in terms of energy and food spiked by russia. invasion of ukraine, certainly, costa rica does not produce energy or a lot of the food. so the import those things and therefore the prices go up and that's going to hurt the consumers at the same time with high unemployment in costa rica. he's also grappling with increasing migration flows from his neighbor to the north, nicaragua, the con, me as collapsing and in fact, population flow out of nicaragua is increasing many to the united states. but also south to undergrad was traditional, you know,

employment creator goes to reagan. so he's got some issues there he's got to deal with still had on al jazeera hong kong has a new leader, but his appointment is widely seen as a move by beijing to tighten its grip on the city. the u. s. senate plans to vote on a national abortion rights bill. we explain why some critics say it's doomed to fail . ah. the recent flooding in the eastern side, the u. s. particularly west virginia is in this class. he was gonna show that bloom there means yet more rain falling up in the northern plane states that brought up some warm air with it. so we forget snow, which we couldn't done 2 weeks ago. the onshore breeze now in the forecast monday means cold weather for new york. 60 degrees with that wind will feel pretty cold,

with its walls are reminders of its importance in history. for this is where the tyranny of nazi germany was finally ended. when its most senior soldiers surrendered to their counterparts from the ussr. tens of millions of soviet citizens had been murdered in out of hitler's war of annihilation. and so this was a victorious moment of unity for russians and ukrainians. yet 77 years on those 2 peoples are again at war with each other. and for the director of this museum vladimir putin's military actions in ukraine now have persuaded him to remove the reference to russia in his museum's name. the propaganda in russia is, is focusing on all the, the naming in the world war 2 and talking about fascists and, and crania, which is a lie. so our job will be to, to make clear what really happened in history and world war 2. in the decades that

follow generations of germans were told of the sins of the nazis. and thus the feeling seemed to take hold. don't antagonize russia rather do deals with it drawers into the community of nations through trade. above all, give no country weapons with which to fight russia. it's a policy the present day. ukrainian president has repeatedly called on germany to renounce with argos or chico more. peter, in the wars he is and every time we talk to germany, we remind them that we have know they have something they don't know which we need a lot year. many here share that they feel germany should be helping the key of government much more. and now finally, so too, does that chancellor affect? yeah. i respect any one's pacifism. i respect any attitude, but it must seem cynical to a citizen of ukraine to be told to fight back against putin's aggression with that

weapons. this is something that is out of date there with weapons like these millions of russians and ukrainians fought and died to defeat the nazis. what might those soldiers have fought then to learn that one day that 2 countries would be at war with each other? in 1945, many in the free world, so the russian soldier as a friend and liberator. far fewer do so now dominate cane al jazeera, but the soviet war memorial in berlin. more than 50 people have been killed in an attack by an armed group in the democratic republic of congo ne security forces say the group attacked a camp for displaced people into google. in the province of tory official say, the attack lasted several hours, 1st targeting people living in the camp before spreading to a nearby village. they also reportedly took some residence hostage before moving out of the village into the bush democratic republic of congo has also been plagued
