be the we checked the highest number of body but it in very much under the that i did that i can do into or that i think. ready because i think that will be that i saw, although that are all that i did, but you're out on the operate from behind the desk by just very briefly said that whoever gets the presidency is still going to be having to deal with the economic crisis. the sher lanka is facing itself in and at the moment all the candidates are saying that they are going to be the ones who are going to solve this problem. but as far as i can tell, the majority of the risk results, the majority of the responses or promises that they're coming up with are based on

essentially getting sher lanka into more debt. whether it's with the i m f, or whether it's with lenders from china. there doesn't seem to be a cohesive plan for actually being able to move sure lanka away from dead and towards some sort of profit, some sort of economic strength. exactly. yes. not right now. even with the election today, all the people are going to suffer unless there's a major dollar or would you buy them from lunch. but what about the you should be a bet. better has already stated that default and all that we may end up with now, if we haven't all pocket garbage that enables administration to carry out that

the bite and ministration. we'd been hearing conflicting reports throughout the day that he would declare a climate imagined. so he would use a visit to what was once a coal fired plot, which, which has now been turned into some sort of offshore wind facility to make, make a declaration and the, the u. s. face to the climate emergency. and this is a sort of gear project thing, but it's also a very dramatic thing. it's something that allows the president to move to expedite the cut red table in various areas to increase funding to various areas that will help combat climate change. but as the day wore on, we had, i'm finally going to confirm the president that he won't be actually declaring a climate emergency. also, he may, may talk about some, some other executive actions that, that he might take in the meantime. the temperatures keep going up and the u. s. is nowhere near to meeting any of the promises biden made about its international climate obligations. i think maybe that,

that he may be maybe 25 percent on track of, of the climate obligations will be met if biden keeps on like this. but even that's probably generous. president vladimir putin says he's willing to allow shipments of ukrainian grain, but he says he'll only do it if restrictions on russia green are removed, approved and how talks with iran's president even came icy and turkish liter visual tie up and on into fun. those discussions were meant to focus on syria, but they were overshadowed by the effects of the war and ukraine. russell set out reports from telephone russian. president vladimir put his 1st face to face meeting with a may to lee there. since russia's invasion of ukraine in february, put in and took as president jeff type avalon were in iran's capital to rom, to discuss a un back proposal to resume exports of ukrainian grain through the black sea to help ease the global foot crisis. if a jew of polluted that he'd zoer shoes, you know, i want to thank you for your efforts in mediation providing a forum for negotiation on foot problems on the problem of grain export by the

what russia and iran are the main beckers of the city and government led by, by cheryl a set turkey has effectively supported the city and opposition. since 2016 turkey has also launched 3 major military operations inside syria against kurdish arm group y, p g and isis. and on chris's preparations are now on the way to conduct a 4th operation into syria to create a 30 kilometer deep securities on a plan that both russia and iran or pause. but the turkish president did not back down me legal and names because we are determined to drive out the st. his of evil from syria that threatened our national security gonna as a stun guarantors our expectation from the russian federation. and iran is to support turkey in this fight holbrook. despite this all 3 present said the austin of his process has been effective in setting up a foundation for peace in syria. russia has withdrawn most of his forces from syria

protests, cassandra and is research director at the national iranian american council. she says these arrests are part of the government's crackdown on people who are regarded as dissidence. it's the volume with which we're seeing it is actually even unusual for iran. of course you're on, is an authoritarian state. it's a state in which the iranians themselves have been repressed in many different ways . but over the course of the last several years, as economic and domestic pressure have increased, you also see an increased crackdown coming from the top down from the iranian authorities and security forces. whether it be a protest that they meet with deadly force, which we saw in november of 2019 whether it be increase arrests of dissidence. one of the things to keep in mind is while artists have come under increased pressure and attacks this, these particular arrest coincided with that of most have a touch of inches in iranian political figures. if someone served under the whole time he read under the hot tammy administration, so it's not, it's not one group,

it's really a crackdown on any form of dissidents within the state. i certainly think that external pressure has something to do with what we're seeing happen. this is in fact, you know, proponents of diplomacy, those who wanted your audience civil society to thrive, argued for years that these, the sanctions pressure, the pressure that externally being put on iran name, the ordinary iranians. not the iranian government will create this kind of pressure from within, which will then create a crackdown from above. that's what we've seen, not only in the case of iran, but really in any situation where you see domestic pressure. what the iranian authorities have shown is that their number one priority is not their citizens. it's not the people of the country. it is sustaining their own power and they're willing to take any measure to do so. that of turn is, is largest opposition. parties appeared in court accused of money laundering russia . lucy was the speaker of parliament until it was dissolved last year by president . i said he's been accused of a power grab. the court hearing comes days before
