2019 during the presidential election, the turner was or 56 percent. and now, despite only around 28 percent of waters going to the ballot box, it will still be enough to insure high sites plan to consolidate his power over parliament, the government and judiciary. and the fear he now is that this may pave the way back to authoritarianism. russell said that o g, sierra tunis, william laurence is the former us diplomat. he says to me is sliding back towards dictatorship. this is the concrete is ation and the consolidation of a presidential system unlike i've ever seen in this part of the world. whereby did you dis, sherry and the parliament are entirely under control. the president would even not even a modicum of checks and balances. the campaign was a little bit like a soccer match. football match, we have 11 players at one side and 0 on the other side. no campaigners were beaten

up in jail in many cases. and the president got on television today against the campaign rules and made a 15 minute speech. he used the to mission flag and his paraphernalia, and i was in geneva last week watching make pain. there was no, no campaign permitted. the no campaign wasn't even allowed to meet. so this was a victory by total you know, only only one side permitted to score goals. and so in the end it really doesn't matter what the turn out was. it matters that 72 percent of confusion to express their their dismay by not showing up and we're going to have a 3rd terry consolidation. after this 20 something on percent commission will say it was a victory and democratic and vast majority of the international community. and the national community will say, we're not with this and yet nobody can tell him. no, you know one of the jokes we were making last week when i was going to need for over a week with yes means yes, no means yes and the day mean yes,

because the president has not only taken over all 3 rich government, but the formerly independent electoral commission is back to the people. so even if you didn't like the already could have changed it. and this is one of the reasons why even something even considering a mill road option to abstain to boycott the illegitimacy of the process itself. and so here we are with a new authoritarian consolidation going on before our eyes and to quote some of the coverage today or sort of sleep walking into a new dictatorship process as apologize for what he described as the deplorable evil inflicted on canada's indigenous people. which saw them forcibly assimilated into christian society for a policy of residential schooling. that apology came and what he's calling his pilgrimage of penance. bicycle hang reports, pope prince, a saw where children were buried, the remnants of the so called school where they were horribly mistreated by

than $3000.00 died, but is more and more unmarked. graves are found at the sights of schools. that number is expected to climb. many of the indigenous leaders responded with emotion and expectations marked this day as a significant offense events. that a statement was made that he, the pope said he was sorry, that is, i'm gonna send a message across these landsey. i see pope francis his apology today as only a 1st step in the church, making amends towards our people. after meeting with the pope and hearing his words today, i believe there's a path forward together. there's lot of work to be done. the pope will have many more days the seeing the indigenous culture that his organization so deeply damaged, more gaze of apology and personal interaction, and the exchange of highly symbolic gifts like this war bonnet. the pope said this

was just the beginning, and these activists are going to want to see that put to practice. they want the vatican to open it, smiles for them. so they can finally begin to piece together what happened to their children with so many that never made it home. particle haine al jazeera israeli troops have raided the palestinian village of caraway bunny, her son, and the occupied west bank. they demolish the homes of 2 palestinians. we'd been charged with killing a god that the illegal is rarely settlement of arielle in april. since the beginning of this year is ready, forces up demolish several palestinian homes. ukraine says it's aiming to export its 1st shipment of grain this week since the russian invasion turkey on the un struck a deal between cave in moscow last week to allow the shipments but a russian missile attack on odessa just a day off. it was signed through the deal into doubt. john hendrick reports from

is so limited that even the kind of a family vehicle can't be used for that purpose. and essentially she said she paid almost double the fair that these are people on a day to day basis who are finding things really difficult. and as a result, you know, for the kids, there's all that uncertainty and up over upheaval. so, or even school bands, i mean, they're just not only dealing with the issue of having to q for such long periods, but also massively increased prices. so all of these really, ultimately having an effect on the kids. yeah, i mean, how are the children coping with all this then vanelle well, to be honest, they don't really have a choice. they're trying to make the best of it. some of them have not had an easy time because this comes, obviously, at the end of, you know, not just months,

but almost years of upheaval. we're just coming out of almost 2 years of the pandemic where there are locked downs as closure of schools. schools have gone online and here just when things were limping back to norma, public exams postponed again. our schools had to be closed because obviously there is no infrastructure to get these kids into school on a daily basis. parents, as i said in a school, vans school buses, all of that, they were just not functioning because there was no fuel. so for kids, i mean it's really, really uncertain in terms of, they're not sure how long this will last, how long they can sort of continue with their, you know, physical schooling. and then all of a sudden, you know, at the moment there's a shortage. they get told at home for another 2 weeks. so even sort of, you know, people working with, with young people have reported sort of increased the issues that students are

facing. some of them really having issues concentration and a whole bunch of things. but sadly, there's no way around this, they have to deal with it. like i'm an l fernandez. live for stay in columbia and oh, thank you. for short break, you're down to 0. when we come back, we report from canyon campaigning in the presidential election. this entering is final stretch unwise and bob way selling gold coins to the public in the hope of timing the countries want to win flinched morning steamers. ah, richard, he has begun the faithful world copies on its way to the castle. your travel package to day. hello, we got some rather live showers in the forecast across parts of northern shina easing over towards the yellow sea isn't over to ward shanghai little area of low pressure bringing some foundry down, pause across a central area. further south,
