ah with oh, are you watching altura her mind about top stories and present fly to me was told his soldiers in ukraine. they're fighting for the security of russia. thousands

have been marching in moscow's red square on the day that russia celebrates nazi. germany surrender to soviet troops in 19. busy lee, ukraine's president marked to some of victory de, suggesting russia's invasion is equal to that of nazi germany. brought him into lensky, says evil has returned to ukraine in a different uniform for the same purpose. people in the philippines of 18 for the next president's 10 candidates vying for the top job front run out sudden and mock with judea cost his balance. earlier, he is the son of a controversial school model. a curfew has been imposed into like his capital earlier police fire to tear gas and use water cannon to break up a fight between rival government groups. supporters of prime minister my end to roger packs, gathered outside his residence colombo, off to protest as heckled him in a public appearance on sunday. at least 20 people were injured in fighting with protested demanding resignation. the president and government. or this whole time

and often others, his life was in columbia. manella tell us what the latest was basically after that clam down in a bid to put the handle on the sort of clashes that broke out between the supporters. essentially, the supporters of the government was specifically supporters of the prime minister mind around 2 bucks a and goes or 4 weeks now have been calling for the president, the prime minister and the government to resign. they see they don't have anything great ability left and they do not want them in positions of government and they must leave. this all happen essentially this morning and the clashes have been violent. we are seeing the hospital, the director of the hospital saying that as many as 20 people are being treated. and there was a huge amount of violence and crashes, even the opposition leader who went to the site was a board. and people actually started trying to assault the opposition leader and

his entourage, and they had to be to quick exit zone. what's the context of this? me know, how is it come to this? so as i said, 4 weeks now, we have seen this ongoing protest campaign against the government urging the leadership as well as the anti government government to step down. given the mismanagement which many of the protest as see reflected in the fact that things are falling apart in sri lanka, there are no essential goods in terms of a very few that are shortages. things like ford have skyrocketed in price because of massive inflation. that as a result of the government, not having money and foreign reserves have fallen to rock bottom. they're not able to import essential goods, meds in fuel gas. and this has led to complete frustration and anger among the people they say. as much as this is

a global phenomenon for span to make that the crass mismanagement by the government as well as corruption, has aggravated the situation and made sure lanka sort of all the worse off in trying to battle this issue. so the prime minister has faced calls from even his own brother, according to reports of a cabinet meeting on friday evening to step down, allow an interim administration. he has kind of dug his his in and said he's not going to go. but even being sort of pressed upon leave of my other ministers, he sort of came out and said, well if everyone he wanted me to leave other consider it meant to be honest. the other messages he had been bringing a lot of his supporter store colombo, all of them sort of showing a gesture of solidarity, saying you shouldn't leave in the sort of key thing was thousands and supporters of mine than roger boxer be heard that they were brought in buses from all over the country,

they converged on his official residence and then mind the rush to address that group. saying that he would do what is best for the public and even their interest . but this group was a, a belligerent grove that was spoiling for a fight. right after that meeting. they went out to a sort of a sit in camp, but that had been established outside the prime minister's office. the 1st thing they did was dismantle that cam. be asking for the prime minister to leave, they said, well, the hoardings and then they marched towards the president's office and there was absolute may. hm. between both sides of the police at the initial stages just looked on later on the broad water cannons and t a guest. so that's where you see the clamp down in the gulf view. or, i mean they'll, thanks about seminar for not reporting her. let us go back to those elections in the philippines. we can recommend going with jamil antagonists, a pony station in manila, and this is a document i should say that this has been seen as

a critical crucial election. what to turn up be like well, it's complicated to say we are in one of the biggest holding meetings in downtown manila. it is also a city, one of the highest number of registered voters. but people are coming to us. there is growing discontent. and act diety, because many of the people we've spoken to say they've been here since 8 am. and they have yet to finish voting. that's because many of the book counting machines of bog down and many people, even with the possibility an option of them leaving their balance. poll watchers can actually be the one to manually place them a submit them electronically. many people are with using because they want to make sure their votes are counted, and this is not an isolated incident. there are reports from many different parts of the national capital manila that this is the problem. now the commission on the electrons assure the public that there are still very much in control,

but this seems to be a trust issue specifically in a deeply emotional and personal elections. one of the most emotional and personal elections in recent philippine history. now the world is looking at this election because the 1st major election is it asia during if endemic, and one of the oldest democracies in the region. but here this has been a battle between a set of clash values about how people see their future, how they see their past, and envision their future. the top 2 contenders, the son of the late dictate their former president for didn't mark was against the leader of the opposition, vice president lanyard red and the only female candidate in this elections. so it will be 2 hours before post clothes and a lot of voters, you're actually hoping that the hours will be extended. they say they are willing to wait, no matter how long it takes. all they want is an assurance. they say that their votes will be counted, and the candidate said 2 very distinct kinds of it's very different in their approach. that politics are standing well,

they have voted early this morning. they are voted from their home towns, but it's a report that they will be monitoring the counting of the votes tonight and over within the next 48 hours in the capital manila. and like as you mentioned, these are very different candidates, couldn't have been more different in a weight vice president lanyard read the is a widow and the human rights lawyer who does not come from a traditional political dynasty while on the other side is a sign of a former dictator, former president for didn't mark was who you know, over the past few months and over the past few years has successfully used social media in a way to revise history and to influence many filipinos who have boats that were born after the marshal era. now there is something distinct about this elections. there are 27.5 new voters this year, then in 2019, and many experts

a. this is a signal that most of the voters are going to view the words an anti establishment, anti sat, the school position. more than half of these voters are filipinos between the ages of 18 to 34. also a huge chunk are supporting vice president len. you to read off, so you do need to be seeing how this will impact the elections all these this by this common problems during these voting hours. but clearly a deeply emotional, deeply consequential elections for the southeast asian tension. argument. i believe that the moment to intimate, i'm duncan reporting that thank you. activists and gone to have launched a legal challenge to stop mining and protected area. it's off to the government side to deal with the chinese company to extract oxide and mineral use to make aluminum products. they say the mu threatens already endangered animals and plants re to mila. as this report, the actual forest in easton garner is known for its abundant biodiversity, including endangered animals and rear plants,
