1:02 pm
italians are voting in a general election that's being closely watched by the wrist of europe. some of the contestants have already cast their votes. opinion polls predict a right wing coalition rising to power with the far right leader for the 1st time since the 2nd world war left the poles are correct. georgia maloney would become the country's 1st female prime minister. the sent to lift a democratic party is 2nd in the polls. bullets go straight to stephanie decker, whose at the parliament building and roman stephanie evert things began as to what's turned out, been like so far. well, interesting. the, it seems that there is a high turn out so far as some of the pollsters had predicted, perhaps that not to be the case is, of course, will be important when it comes to the legitimacy of whoever does get elected to
1:03 pm
run the country. it will be the $68.00 government italy has since its independence 76 years ago. of course the predictions are according to the polls or that it will be potentially a wind for the far right georgia maloney coming out on top. we're going to have to wait and see, but let's discuss all of this. i have a guest with me, lorenzo castilla me. he is a professor of political history. thank you for joining us. we were just mentioning there, of the expectations of the polls that we'd all see potentially a far right wing, a victory. how do you see this? you think the boat will go according to predictions? look, the polls are very consistent and they are showing as the most likely scenario. landslide victory by right wing coalition bar. we should look at the polls, particularly of the votes of the 5 stars, which are poorly and very strongly in the last weeks or so. a very good results for them, my buddha grease, the majority absolute majority for the right wing at the senate. so these are the most affordable important data to look at. the overall results of the right wing.
1:04 pm
felicia, if it's over 40 to 43 percent, is very likely to have a landslide victory also in terms of sees otherwise, if i started falling very high, like 18 or 20 percent, well that that might be problems in terms of seats. a descendants, in particular funder i, we inflation. but in general, you do expect the right wing to have a strong shelley. i think doubt that most likely snatter remain aligns lat landslide victory by the right wing. in a very peculiar situation in which right wing is not as traditionally, uneasily dominated by moderates or popular party biased by a conservative body fatality diarrhea, an m and a party. a fire right piled t s. the league. so 2 parties, so we shuttle members solve the mainstream police group in europe. these 9 of course create some difficulties in general for the country and a new government, particularly in terms of international relationship and you relationship. so these
1:05 pm
are the main risks that we might facing case alba arriving when how significant is the shift towards the right in a traditionally, it's been governed by more left. how would you describe that change? well, in the last 10 years, and there was a massive raising of national lease and police agenda. and these author, of course, is winning a large portion of the vote. so it's a very long standing transformation in which, particularly the lower socio economic got start turning to the writer and they are leaving, you know, the last and the traditional sentries for legal offer. this is very clear also these election when, when we are seeing a great rising of the 5 stars, the populace movement on the left and the rising off for the leading dahlia on the right. so a far right party. at the same time, there is the decline of the p d that traditional social democratic party and the las colinas foster dahlia. so it traditionally moderate right wing party. so we are in the me solve
1:06 pm
a polarization process that sometimes have some, you know, step and go like drag is government was one of them in self stopped. but now populous nation is my be fueled again by the pop levels. okay, thank you very much. and so they are a breakdown of what is usually quite complicated, a tie and politics, governments of come and go. and i think another question will be if there is this majority, when by the right wing, how united are they going to be? you have 3 different parties within this coalition that still are at odds with certain policy issues moving forward. but again, to hurry, to pull any of that, the polls will close here at 11 p. m local time. and at that point, we will get some exit polls, which will give us a much clearer idea. but the hot, the, how the day has gone. and he thank you very much that stephanie decker for us and rome. the right wing coalition in italy is tip to form a solid majority. the latest polls suggest one and every 4 voters plans to back
1:07 pm
georgia maloney but elbowing himself into the campaign, limelight as 5 star movement leader goose if he can take. he is one of the major players in the center lift coalition and has been described as being anti establishment with some of the top issues for vote as the selection includes the rising cost of living, the fuel crisis and the ongoing war. and you cried. 11 would at another i am really afraid of extreme situations that could be created if certain parties came to power, especially given the situation in europe and get vance of the far right and other countries of the union. in addition to the war in crane. another important issue and ever weaker europe. yes. and really weren't i use fair beneville gavia. i hope for good things for italy because we are living in difficult times and people vote with wisdom. it doesn't matter if the right or the left wins. what matters is the concrete action is taken for the country. well, let's bring in alberto, tony. he is a political analyst and professor of international history at the university of
1:08 pm
florence. he joins us now. thank you very much for being on this news. our. how do you see this playing out will over polls proved correct and will we see a right when coalition d? thank why it's very difficult in this situation to have an estimation of the final result because there are many reason of uncertainty. these are the 1st national elections initially after court on a bias. this is the 1st time a woman candidate is, seems to have the best chance of victory. but this is also the 1st time that the number of parliament members easily used to, from 900 to 600. so it's a very different political landscape compared to the previous national elections. and so this is, that is and why is not so. ready easy, do have
1:09 pm
a clear reading of what, what could be the results of tonight? maloney does when, what sort of leader do you think that she will pay where you may know that to, during the electoral campaign, each political leader is unwilling to appease. he's or her voters, but once you are in power, you need to go with ruling responsibilities. and these may result in more and more to the stand by georgia, maloney if she will get a pastor prime minister in italy. and so we should also take into consideration that you will need the full should a future prime minister need to reply and do
1:10 pm
a face and number of challenges that are very, very difficult and such as a recovery national economy and social worker. after code on ios and also confronting the rising energy crisis. so these are the necessary measures that you have to take, and that not to be standing in what could be the your position, or the different leaders position duty. electra campaign, melanie said she's going to build a strong cohesive coalition if she does what now? so, a huge part of italian politics is managing a large coalition. do you think that she will be able to do that? well, as she needs are all her skills and the whole her expedience of each other and bullied each to manage to keep together at least 3 different audi
1:11 pm
issue, including the league and that the school needs part, say, italia, and they are political allies. but each of them has its own targets, eights on programs, and eights on the vortices. so, as always in any, a coalition you probably george in the morning we'll have to give some to them and do all should have shown that occasion. and both communities or so to the other political lead and seeing how to kwanisha. and this is not an easy task, is very difficult to balance exercise, but she had the expediency and the political ends key. and so too much. well, we will be watching closely to see how this plays out. that is alberta to 90 for us
1:12 pm
in florence. thank you for being on the program. with 2 other news and lebanon's worsening economic crisis is forcing many people to flee. 95 people have now died while trying to escape poverty and hunger and rich europe. they were on board a boat that sank of serious coast on thursday. the vessel left lebanon's many give region bouts went down near the port city of tartarus in syria. the group had hoped to reach italy. a funeral were held for some of those who died. the lebanese army says it's arrested a man, it suspects was behind a human smuggling operation. let's go live too and hold on who's joining us from the lebanon syria border incentive. this is obviously a terrible tragedy with a seemingly no indian size. 95 bodies have been recovered. so far,
1:13 pm
17 have been brought back to lebanon. they have been identified, identified by their families. now the 17 are lebanese nationals and palestinian refugees so far. no syrian refugee, none of their bodies have returned to lebanon, and we know on that boat, on that overcrowded boat, there were lebanese palestinians, as well as syria's syrian families. it's, it's not easy for them to cross the border. many of those refugees came to lebanon escaping war, escaping the government of president bush, r, and i said they were involved in opposition activities, so they cannot cross that border to identify their loved ones. we ask officials here we've asked you and hcr, we've asked the international committee of the red cross who is going to help these people. we are not getting answers apart from the fact that the files is now in the hands of the security. so bodies have started to return, it's not an easy process. $95.00 bodies,
1:14 pm
so far as 17 have returned. we're expecting 3 more at any time later today, the bodies have composed so they're waiting for d. n a tests. now there is also 20 survivors. some of those survivors have already returned to 11 on we're expecting another 3 to return shortly. but again, lebanese and palestinians, so far, no theory of 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 there. 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, hadn't sunk. i managed to keep myself over the bose and then i swam for 13 hours
1:15 pm
till i reached the theory and talked to the coast. i've been told that some survivors were saved and rescued by rushman syrian boats that i've seen nothing till i reached the shore. of wire so many other people feeling compelled to attempt this perilous journey. can you give us a sense of just how bad things are there while the economy began to collapse 3 years ago and the situation gets worse by the day, the currency has crashed. it lost 90 percent of its value and the majority of the people here are in the local currency. lebanese are suffering palestinian refugees say they can no longer cope the only agency that helps them on a wall is short of cash syrian refugees as well. they're also worried about their future because that the nice authorities keep talking about sending them back home to syria, which according to the united nations, is still not safe. so these are the reasons why push people to get on those votes,
1:16 pm
desperation poverty. we spoke to one survivor this morning, abraham months, or he's 29 years old. he's a palestinian refugee. he told me that he hasn't been able to find a job for 5 years. and the man is still in shock. and he told me that you know what, he saw what he experienced, he's never gonna forget in his life. in fact, he feels guilty that he wasn't able to help or save others. when the boat capsized, a young young boy held onto him. but because the high waves, he lost them and he found out that that he died. so you're hearing a lot of stories like this and it's not the 1st migrant brought tragedy a back in april, the boat sang. bodies are still missing. filter day, the majority on that boat were lebanese, but people tell the time and time again, they will make the journey or attempt to make the journey again, because the situation is very desperate in this country. indeed, thank you so much. that is then a hot, a force in lebanon. were plenty more. he had armed us news, our including, we hear from some of the 10s of thousands of feet of russia to avoid being sent to
1:17 pm
war. campaigning hate south in brazil was presidential election with his jaya, boston, our plan catch up in the polls. and, and sport novak jock of ej makes his long awaited return to tennis. sana, we'll be here with all the details that's coming out. ah, a partial mobilization order announced by president vladimir putin has sparked protests across russia. ah, well that's despite a government ban on unapproved rallies, rights groups say more than 730 people have been detained. last week, put an announced plans to enlists 300000 reservists to reinforce troops fighting and you cry. with dozens of protesters have also been arrested in siberia. small

1:19 pm
is taking place in occupied areas in for regions in ukraine's east and south. median areas controlled by pro russian separate. this should pictures of people casting dallas. this is the city of done yet was separate, is have controlled since 2014, but they don't control the entire region. and then areas under ukrainian control, due mood were somber. here in port trust, no one wanted to talk to us, explaining that people prefer to keep their opinion to themselves, not knowing what will happen next. ukraine and the international community have called the vote illegitimate. they want to keep the territory, they went stop our army. we will continue to liberate our lander. russia was waiting for this, so it can say that ukraine is attacking russia and it becomes a full scale war. and it can call for liberalization. video has emerge of our men in the oral workers going house to house,
1:20 pm
asking people to cast their ballots. here in stone. people arriving in the police say it's also happening in the areas. this elderly woman didn't want to show her face because she still has relatives in occupied that she tells me a similar team entered her garden, but she refused to write anything on the paper. others also told us about how they sat at home silently, while soldiers knocked at their door. but pauline, there was more worried about what could happen next. 2 days i was wondering, i was crying, but then we decided because of the threat of mobilize ation of men. my husband, we had no time, we just left the hoary voting and then monday those we spoke to said the results were decided before it even started. but of that, i mean ozy, we're putting jo, russia's foreign minister blamed ukraine for the hostility. sir guy leverett spoke
1:21 pm
at the un general assembly in new york, but nearly every nation. they're called for an immediate into the war. as ellen fisher reports from new york, ukrainian seat was empty, his russian foreign minister said gay lover of addressed the general assembly. the americans left one seemingly disinterested representative. the veteran diplomat defended the con referenda underway in occupied territories in ukraine. and claim to us was using the war to pick a fight with moscow yoga room when you present them on the road. i sort of put it, it is very clear to any unbiased observer for the anglo saxons who completely subjugated europe. ukraine is an expendable material in the fight against russia. nato declared that our country is an immediate threat on their way to total domination and a long term threat will be the peoples republic of china. at the same time, the collective west headed by washington is sending frightening signals to other countries saying, any one who disobeys can be next. almost every country addressing the united
1:22 pm
nations has called for an end to the war. and in the holes here, there's talk of the turks, or the saudis, acting as a go between to get both sides together. but at a lengthy news conference after his address lover of claimed ukraine wasn't interested in negotiations. okay. bit ago, what kind of negotiations can even be considered. the last thing that happened in terms of contacts with the ukrainians was our consent to their paper on the 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. lover of 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 further. alan fisher al jazeera at the united nations in new york. we'll get the latest on the fighting in ukraine with charles stratford in a moment. but 1st,
1:23 pm
let's hit moscow. mama val is tracking development there. moment water has rush. been sang about the referendum. yeah, it's actually here. russia suttles the picture, the media talk only about the turn out even though they didn't give very high figures or saturday for a small. so according to tough agency, it was between 23 and 26, but they expected it twice during the following days. and the same media also talking about 93 percent of those who cost ballots in fossils. they chose to join the washer and internet bill for the sale. talking about 236 people have already voted. and that's a big, big number considering about the operations so far is limited because of security reasons. phase one will end on, on the 26th,
1:24 pm
and the 27th. they will be an open day of voting in a, in, in polling stations as usual. that's when the biggest number is expected to turn out, and that will be, that will be the final day as news here also news me to talking about a quick volt being announced quickly, i mean, on the following day on the 28th, the results will be announced by the evening and on the day after that the state duma is expected to meet at and dos those results. when probably on the 13th president vladimir putin will give a speech and officially declared those 4 regions officially, part of the russian federation. ok, that's mohammed vol for us in moscow. we're now going to go to charles stratford who joins us now from keith. charles, you've got more on the light, his fighting in the east overnight.
1:25 pm
that's right. yes. as those votes continue, those votes sit, are considered by the international community, the un to be completely illegitimate. there are reports, certainly, according to the ukraine hills or it is what they describe is. heavy shelling and bombing of various areas are in the east and the south in those areas that are along the contact line, ukrainian saying at least 35. what they describe is settlements were hate by russian strikes in the last 24 hours. there are also reports that we again cannot independently verify of what ukrainians are describing as iranian kamikaze, drones strikes on an administration building in central odessa. in the south. as i say, we cannot independently verify that we know that sam, the ukraine, his of accused, the rain is of supplying russia with these drones. it's something that the iranians
1:26 pm
have stuart's, he denied the ukrainians, have already diluted, if you like, their relationship with the iranians here. they punished ambassador by taking away his accreditation and demanding that a number of diplomats from the right embassy leave the reigning to saying that they will respond. am with some sort of proportional response in the coming days. interestingly, all so there are reports on the russian side of a line of control. they saying that there was a hotel in the occupied town of care of song that the ukrainian military hit this morning. and their reports again, that cannot be independently verified of journalists staying in that hotel. at least 2 people reported injured, possibly dead. so as i say, as this, a legitimate vote goes forward according to the international community, a lot of heavy fighting on various locations along the contact line in the east and
1:27 pm
the south. okay, charles said it shall stratford for us and live from cave. thank you. the kremlin military mobilization has prompted it more people to flee russia. serbia is one of just a few countries. russians can travel to without a visa, jonah holl has this report from the capital belk, right. the no, to war. they chant russia without put in. it isn't clear exactly who their protest is aimed at. the russians in self imposed exile against the war in ukraine. their presence tolerated by staunch kremlin ally, serbia, one of only a few countries to which russians can travel. now, these are free. my voice might be a drop in the ocean and maybe it won't be heard, but i have to speak up to anyway. alexi novick off is among an estimated 50000 russians who landed in belgrade since war broke out in february,
1:28 pm
many on one way. tickets. the pace of arrivals is thought to have escalated in recent days with young men in particular escaping presidents, lead me, putins, partial mobilization of reservists. we like them. i don't want to take part in the war against the ukrainian people. some vague objectives and probably very soon they will try to mobilize and rush on mass and they will take anyone that they can catch and send them to the front line to be used as cannon fodder. so called brother nations, their fellow orthodox slabs in serbia, offer the russians familiarity, and a warm reception. but given the political ties between belgrade and the kremlin, it's an unlikely harbor for descent, feels that the man to prosper against the war that they really feel abruptly equivalent. i was really against the war. no one is suggesting that small
1:29 pm
ex patrick populations like this one. however, the vocal are about to turn public opinion in russia against president putin or the war. one think it's highly unlikely that even be seen or heard by most russians on state run media. but many people here do feel that the recently and mobilize ation or call up the reserve. it is likely to bring a new awareness of the water rushing home and russian society. and that in turn is a step closer towards a possible tipping point. i've no idea or he didn't give him one thing to sit on a couch and contemplate how we are concrete ukraine, and quite another to be in a trench with the machine gun. so i think that the dissatisfaction of the people is already quite strong because of those citizens to support boot and the war have started to express that a 2nd section with what is happening in ukraine. and the mobilize ation now will
1:30 pm
push people to protest against young, from a place of relative safety. now, having left their old lives behind, these russian dissenters are determined to play their part joan, a whole al jazeera belgrade. russia has re shuffled its military leadership and naming colonel general mikhail and is instead of as deputy defense minister, he'll be responsible for logistic operations. he's under western sanctions for his role in the bottom to mario paul. key officials accuse him of planning to cj, and which thousands of civilians died as residential buildings were destroyed. with unsafe, has also been accused of august striking the bombing campaign that leveled much of rouble held a live in syria back in 2016. well, it's bring in to me a hurry. he is a military analyst and author of russia's road to war with ukraine. he joins us from singapore. thank you very much for being on the program. and miss insane. has
1:31 pm
been tubs the butcher of mary, a pole by many ukrainians as we heard. and he's been described as a hotline with in russia. so do you think we're going to see and even more ruthless russian military now? now, thanks very much for having me. these re shuffles a coin colon because russia's war offense has been played by difficulties. but your question is, is, touches on really important subjects, which is all we going to see more indiscriminate, bombardments, parts of ukraine that russia is yet to conquer. and i think the answer is yes and, and very simply, it's this at the saw to the invasion, the russian armed forces trucks operate with a bit more finesse, parachute drops on sort of bombs, raise into key evan, cocky, it all failed, and they reverted to time and time is very sadly, the source of campaign, as we seen in molecular in syria, marable in southern ukraine, as you mentioned, devastation of the city state and russia, claiming nasa conquests that he's taking over logistics and supplies. what do you
1:32 pm
think that's been such a major issue for russia's military in this war? right, well here, amish has talked about strategy professionals, talk about logistics. that's one of the aphorisms that sometimes goes around discussion about military operations. and one of the reasons that rushes on forces of struggled in ukraine, comes down to logistics. it comes down to armed forces advancing, without proper lines of supply, disconnect from other lines of bonds. remember russia invaded from from multiple angles of ukraine. so bringing kind of controls of his tails has been an uphill struggle for russia's defense ministry in his military command. ever since the early days of the invasion starts and things started go wrong. so indeed, macau minutes of will be really responsible. i think for digging russian forces in for the long haul, and this then ties in with this polish with my implies ation order. we've also seen happen this week. and do you think this is
1:33 pm
a direct result of the ground last to ukrainian forces over the past month or so? certainly it's, it's a paul. the brushes reorientation to this new reality in which is he say ukraine has been able to retake some of it's occupied land. the occupation zalinski calls it. and of course, the russians will be alarmed that the possibility of that ukraine in offense is spreading farther along the front line. it could become something the russians is dealing with. so i think certainly the russians, not on the on the front, but they're on the back foot and stabilizing that position and playing. i think for socrates, a sports analogy, playing for the whistle, playing for winter, which means making sure that the russians don't lose any more of what they hold for when to assess in will be one of the common assets goals. i think we've had us officials say there is an increasingly dysfunctional command structure and moscow. do you think that that is the case as well?
1:34 pm
so the report of schools, no one can tell you a 100 percent as to how this war is being run. but the reports, the also missing some things in the media says yes, there is something of a as of a 100 cool. it's a screwdriver, so to speak, which means a key commanded operational decisions of being taking moscow. whereas other armed forces might delegate guys to feel to mom as it appears that prison and those immediately around to have tried to micro manage the war from very far away, perhaps often with poor information, delayed information. and i think ne, for mention point, which is the russians and beta from a lot of different directions at the very start. and it just meant that military campaign was just mal, cool natured like from the saw. and they've been trying to, i think, gain super here and see ever since then smith, hurry, thank you very much for your time, and your analysis are still a hit on al jazeera. i'm emily anglin, in south africa where conservation is see using innovative ways to control and
1:35 pm
protect the growing elephant population. and, and schools are thrilling in to the japanese chrome pre is the rice returns off to influence bright details coming up later in the program. ah hello there we seen a cool down across europe with temperatures below average for much of the constant pop from the southeast was still seeing them fine and dry weather for greece and turkey temperatures on the up here with plenty of sunshine. now it's really storm action that stealing the show, particularly down in the south, but also across some central areas. with a bit of a wintry mix blowing across the outs, we've got red warnings out for western areas of italy, the valley, eric islands in spain, and some eastern areas due to heavy rain that's expected to fall the is those you
