ah ah safe going home and then international anti corruption excellence award boat now for your hero ah voting has started across italy and what could see a dramatic change in politics?

will italy be shifting far me to the right? i'm stephanie decker in the italian capital will know in around 12 hours from now whether a conservative right wing government will come to power at 1st. since the 2nd world war. ah, watching al jazeera alive from doha. carrie just also coming up a journey for a better life ends in tragedy. at least $95.00 people, including children now died off to their boat from lebanon, sank of the coast of syria. hundreds are detained across russia. during protests, against a decree to enlist civilians into military service and painting a picture of corruption. explore how the story behind this exhibit of price this works of art in manila is drawing attention. ah,

italians are voting in a general election that's being closely watched by the rest of europe. opinion polls predictor right wing coalition taking power with a far right leader for the 1st time since the 2nd world war. but if the poles are correct, georgia maloney would become the country's 1st female prime minister. a sent a left democratic party is 2nd in the polls. let's go straight to stephanie decker, whose at the apartment building in rome. so were stephanie italy's voting? what's the latest? yes, well polls opened around 4 hours ago. they're going to close in around 12 hours. and i think we will be getting exit polls in the early hours. it will indicate whether those predictions were correct. of course, the last 2 weeks or so there's been no more polling no more predictions, as she does have a history at times of being surprised when the boats happen. but i think speaking

to, unless they do expect georgia moloney and her right wing coalition to gain a majority, i think also interestingly we'll have to look at turn out voter turnout. traditionally, italians do vote around 70 percent in terms of turn out. certainly in the last elections 2018, but this time there seems to be somewhat of a fatigue italians do have a way of going and to the establishment if you will. there are a lot of challenges here when it comes to the economy. when it comes to storing cost of living, there is disillusionment with the politicians, which is why george maloney has done so well because she's always run in opposition to the various governments we've had in the past. but again, we'll have to wait and see how the day turns out and wait for those. are those predictions whether or not as you mentioned, there italy's go to have its 1st for right wing government since the 2nd world war? and stephanie, what could all this mean? for italy and its dealings with you while the european union. yes it's, it's an interesting point because traditionally the right of course is closer to

eastern europe, closely to russia, georgia maloney has changed her tone somewhat. a, in the end of her campaign saying that, you know, they will be exiting europe, but she is much more about independence about italian identity. also speaking to the voters who have voted for her, they talk about the loss of italian identity within the european framework. however, this is a country in crisis, it's a country hugely dependent on billions of european euros. so there are conditions to that. so many on this we've been speaking to will say it's going to be very difficult for her to remove a italy or, or sort of detach itself from your. but she will also have to, if she comes to power still satisfy her electorate. so we're gonna have to wait and see what kind of a balancing act that is going to play other challenges and questions protect when it comes to her agenda. people concerned on the left rights when it comes to the algae b t q. community, for example, at georgia, milan is very much traditional family values and also, you know,

protecting itching, a tie ins, talking about the immigration issue that italy faces, the migrants that arrive here by boat. she talks about a naval blockade. so these are all questions moving forward. that if she does come to power, we'll have to see what the rhetoric in terms of the campaign of what actually gets implemented practically when she is in governance. okay, for now stephanie duncan live 1st in rome there. thank you. lebanon's worsening economic crisis is forcing many people to flee the country. 95 people have now died while making a perilous journey to europe trying to escape poverty and hunger. they were on board a boat carrying around a $150.00 refugees and migrants which sank off the coast of cereal on thursday. the boat left lebanon's mini yay region but went down there. the syrian port city of tatas group was hoping to reach italy or funerals were held for some of those who died. the lebanese army says it's arrested, a man suspect would be behind the legal human smuggling operation. center hotter

has more from a refugee camp in the lebanese city of chic. talk to anybody here in the meadow, a refugee camp in north lebanon, and they'll tell you, we know the risks, give us a boat, and we want to leave. people are tired, they're frustrated. these people have been here for decades. they live in a country which doesn't give them basic basic rights. they have no access to health care. they have no access to education or the only organization that helps them is the u. n. relief agency for palestinian refugees. but that agency is a, has been begging really for money for years. that doesn't have enough money to help this people. many of those who were on the boat were a palestinian 9590. 5 bodies have been found at 20, have been rescued. we just managed to speak to a survivor. he is in a hospital here abraham months or is 29 years old. he is still in shock. he tells me that he still hasn't forgiven himself because he couldn't help others of the

boat set sail wednesday morning. 4 hours later, the engine stopped and they called the smuggler unsure. and he says, if you come back, this is of course, according to him for him, we will shoot you. and so the, due to the high waves, the boat capsized for him, says the in a matter of, of meant moments really a 10100. 10 people died. he saw bodies everywhere. those are survived, were clinging onto the boat that overturned, he was close to a child and another man, but then he lost them and he eventually swam to shore to the syrian shore. he tells me i still cannot forgive myself that i couldn't help that child. he later found out that child died. many children were on the boat, that's the story of one survivor, another survivor told his story in an ambulance as he made his way back from syria to lebanon. this wasn't a journey, it was nothing but a nightmare. it's impossible to forget what has happened and the scenes i've been

through. we suffered an engine failure. waves tampered with the boat, we lost control and we ended up in a cap sized boat. automatically people on board were pushed by waves to all directions, left and right under and above the water. no one came to rescue us. as i stayed almost 24 hours near the boat, which was overturned, staying floating, i hadn't sunk. i managed to keep myself over the bose and then i swam for 13 hours till i reached the syrian top to the coast. i've been told that some survivors were saved and rescued by russian syrian boats. but i've seen nothing till i reached the shore. the lebanese economy began to collapse 3 years ago in the past, it was basically the palestinian and syrian refugees making the journey. as of late, there was an uptick in the number of lebanese, according to the united nations. you and hcr, approximately $3500.00 individuals attempted to make the journey this year alone. but security sources tell us that's

a conservative figure. just look around you and you can see how people live here. they live in camps. they are barred from many professions. according according to the lebanese law, this is concerning palestinian refugees, syrian refugees. they receive little help from the u. n. a c r. but they cannot return home to syria. the guns may have fallen silent and men areas, but some will tell you we are still wanted by the authorities because we were engaged in opposition activities. others will say we can't go back because the economy is so bad. 90 percent of people in syria are poor and 90 percent of syrian refugees in lebanon live below the poverty line. and the political class in lebanon has really done nothing to try to alleviate the dire living conditions, weather for the lebanese syrians and palestinians. and this is why people feel that they have nothing to lose and they are ready to take this risk and try to, to reach the shores of europe in search for

a better life. president vladimir putin to partial military mobilization order, has spot protests across russia on a scale not seen since the start of the war in ukraine. ah, for despite a government bond on, on approved rallies rights group. st. more than 730 people were detained during the nation wide demonstrations. thousands of protests as had been arrested in siberia, small demonstrations were held in several northern cities. last week, putin announced plans to enlist as many as at 300000 reservists to boast to troops fighting in ukraine and ukraine. it's the 3rd day referendums in 4 areas occupied by russian forces and it's separatist allies. voting continues under the watchful eyes of russian soldiers in parts of the hands on yeske operation and his son,

principles for a settlement leave. after this, they moved in a completely different direction. the russian speech came as people in russian occupied parts of eastern and southern ukraine, voted on whether to join russia. lovegrove says the vote is about self determination. keith and its western allies says it's a sham and the results that a foregone conclusion. and when they are announced, it's expected to ratchet up the tension between russia and the west even farther. island fisher al jazeera at the united nations in new york. i said i had haron al jazeera, we hear from some of the 10s of thousands who have fled russia as they looked to avoid being sent to war. and iran at president bows to act decisively against nationwide protests of the death of a woman custody of. so called morality police ah
