is in iran capital tat ron. the iranian foreign minister, jose, amir de la, yon said that the iranians sent a delegation to a european country about 2 weeks ago to meet with ukrainian officials who are going to present their evidence to the iranians. he said that at the very last minute the ukrainian officials pulls out of what from what he believes to be pressured by the united states government as well as germany. because he believed that they were going to impose further sanctions on neuron around these strong sales. the real position is that these sales took place before the war started and also as a result of that 2015 nuclear deal, the arms embargo and post by the united nations security council on her own since 2007 was lifted in october of 2020, and that meant that iran could export and sell its military hardware and capabilities. but there were restrictions on it that are still in place until

october of 2023. and the american officials and some european countries that are still remaining in that nuclear deal claim that the drones fall under advance and military hardware and therefore they're still under sanctions. and that is a violation of the nuclear deal for the time being the radians are saying that they're still waiting for that hard evidence. and that the rhetoric coming from the west, in terms of what iran has sold to the russians. well, before the war started is just that rhetoric will the german chancellor allow, schoultz is urging russia to declare that it will not use nuclear weapons in ukraine before ist and light. and we are not kidding ourselves. russia is and remains a great military power. and russia has the weapons gun, and that is precisely why it is very, very important that we say no, it is not allowed. it is unacceptable to youth nuclear weapons. and this call may

recall on russia to really state that it will not do this, that, that would be a limit, but must not be crossed. 100 or tens of thousands of people have attended a rally in rome, calling for peace in ukraine, and urging the italian government to stop sending weapons, italy as supported key since the start of the war. providing arms to help in the fight against russia's invasion. the new italian government led by far i eat a georgia maloney as vowed to continue efforts to bolster ukraine's defences. well in other stories are following italy a saying that is going to allow the docking of one of 3 ships carrying refugees rescued from the mediterranean. it is only for health checks, they say, authorities of said that their ship will be redirected to international waters after miners, and those who are vulnerable have disembarked. some have been stranded at sea for more than 2 weeks. at least new, far right government, which was sworn in just last month. his vow to crack down on my grants, fleeing north africa for europe. a bit more impulse dork was than our laquonda

rivera. the ship will be allowed to remain in italian territorial waters, only for the time necessary to allow us to see on board all the possible health emergency of the people for whom i promise italy will take charge will take all the minus. it's been said in the press and not through diplomatic channels that there are mine is on board. it's been said that there were pregnant women or women with small children, or people with a fever till roman holl as the head of operations that tear. so as humanity in is on board humanity, one of cataneo coast, he says, conditions on the ship, a getting worse as supplies run out, the storm was heavy when then highway waves, 179. so right now on board our, which one are among them $100.00 and the company miners which are struggling a lot on mental health. they. so people running in front of them,

italy, which are securing the coast we are sailing in, ah, was 3 days ago until the u. s. midterm elections, democratic and republican politicians are ramping up their campaigns. as in joe biden, form, president rack bama, and donald trump, the descending on pennsylvania in a last minute pushed to encourage voters a key battle ground state the could determine which policy controls the u. s. senate president bind remains optimistic that his democrats will keep control of both houses of congress processing of early voting by mail has already started in several states. well, mike can joins his live now from washington. so with that form of presence being deployed to give speeches in rally the vote, as it looks as though as the expectation is it might be a close race. well,

pennsylvania is absolutely ground 0 in the mid term elections. the republicans believe that they can get control of the senate by tilting one senate seat and pennsylvania also in terms of the house. there are 5 as seats nationwide that the republicans believe that they can tip and get control of the house. 3 of those seats on pennsylvania, so it's no surprise on this last saturday before the mid terms of that 3 president saw in pennsylvania, our president biden, president obama and former president, donald trump, will be talking in a few hours time. president bird obama has already spoken at one of the rallies in pennsylvania. he's making very clear that the selection is also about the character of the former president, donald trump, insisting that republicans continue to support donald trump. and as such, they should be repudiated at the polls. this is what barack obama had to say. there used to be g o p members who champion progress and civil rights and rule of law.

but, you know, i, i got to look at the facts and the facts are these days. just about every g, o, p politicians seems obsessed with 2 things. they want to own the lives. let's get the lives. and let's get donald trump's approval. well, a barack obama will be joining president biden later on the day at a massive rally in philadelphia. this in a way is the democratic parties swan song in terms of these midterm elections, bringing out the big gun in terms of barack obama two's chair. the stage with a president biden, and this is all an indication of exactly how important to democrats and republicans alike view the state of pennsylvania. it's for this reason that you had this tightly focus of attention in the days before these mid term elections. thank you very much for the latest from the washington address is crucial mid term elections

ah ah ah ah news ah, come back to look at the main stories and following now, ukraine's present lot in his landscape accused iran of lying about how many drones

it supplied to russia. on saturday to ron, acknowledged to sending a small shipments of trying to moscow sank. it was delivered before the invasion of the wind rush, or is demanded evidence that iranian drives have been using the conflict. a city says it will allow the docking of one of 3 ships carrying refugees rescued from the med training, but only for health checks. italian authority, say the shit will be redirected to international waters. once miners and vulnerable people disembarked in 3 days to go until the u. s. midterm elections, democratic and republican politicians are ramping up my campaigns by saint joe biden, along with full of president barack obama and donald trump descending on pennsylvania . a keyed battle ground state that could determine which party controls the senate . to pakistan, the prime minister has reject it. among cons, accusations of an assassination attempt for melinda was shot, sharing

a protest march in the eastern city of missouri bod. earlier this week, she posture. he says emron khan is damaging the country with false conspiracies. hundreds of m on con, support as continues hello demonstrations across the country. same, las ravi has more from the hor, the long march to islam abad emron a hans political assault on the capital of pakistan with the political footman that are loyal to him that may be on hold for now. but rallies like this one in the heart of love or are happening all over the country in support of their wounded leaders. they said their wounded captain, who is in recovery in hospital in lahore from an attempted assassination from an attempt on his life. his party workers are continuing to come out into the street. in the last few hours this crowd is gone from a few dozen to a few 100, choking this important central location in the heart of love or they are angry. his supporters are angry about the attack on him. ron hahn. they are angry that their

leader has been shot and they blame the same people that him. ron hahn is holding responsible in the absence of any investigation of any evidence. they say they don't need it. they blame the same people that him ron hahn is holding responsible . i'm either confident fighting either. yeah. we strongly condemn the attack that has taken place on our car and we strongly demand that every single name he has named arrest them. he won't let corruption happen in our country. we've had a corruption mafia imposed on us in longhorn thought go doing on eob. the assassination attempt on enron con, was by the army chief and the army. they shouldn't think we don't know. we understand everything. secondly, if such a famous high profile individual is not safe here, then how can we expect to be saying? politics in pakistan is in adibly murky. it is complex, it can be ugly, and it can be very dangerous. but one thing is clear as long as m, ron con,

has the ability to bring this many people out into the street in support of his cars, as long as he can bring it in large numbers into the streets of really any city chooses, maintains himself as a potent and powerful political force even out of office in this country. and as long as that is the case, he will continue to be able to corrode from the outside, the institution that holds responsible for corruption, including the government. and crucially, the military. more than a 1000 protest, his in gone is capital cra, calling for the president to step down as the country face is a why sneak in on my crisis. rising fuel prices and soaring inflation of anger, gone, and already struggling with high cost of living. the peaceful protests on saturday was the latest in a series of demonstrations this year. i sent in ana, aku for abdul has been hoping to get financial support from the i'm f that opponent

say government is failing to tackle the unfolding crisis. thrown and we are offering to resign. how to operate with your club on how we often here to resign or go for the for public? i think it was my question. so do so respond to quote the alarm. i don't want to talk to people. oh wow. i just don't thought felberg and our address is also in arkwright brings a small this is a demonstration is not in god. i stepped out of the shop now the cold weather marching day. and the reason is the moment, right? this is the final destination was features were supposed to be presented by leaders

organizers and only got what they found was a church holding side by side by this demonstration. and that, and get a look for just this morning. this is largely christian society to bring to me alongside something's not so so difficult for many to understand, but all the same, the demonstrator and then he did, he had deliverance. but you have been going by what we saw in the morning hours of marching to get to know what they're looking for. a lot of the government. first of all, they want to the president, the deputies job transition government form i constitutional review to be held. and a lot of other demands by the protesters, which by the way, they may be very, very difficult to achieve at the moment. we don't know how much they will probably

give the government, but what they're saying is that they are tired of what's happening in this country . what set the ball rolling and all these demonstrations of happening across china is of course the rising cost of living in discussing your career is being accused of launching for ballistic missiles on saturday. the latest in a series this week, strong condemnation from the u. s. south career in japan, the korea launches when they coincide with joint military exercises between washington and sol, allied drills involved some 240 military aircraft. it was a show of force against young young rising tensions of north korea actions were discussed. un security council on friday. tony chang is in sol and has more on a statement issued by south korea as defense ministry. just before mid day, local time for short range, ballistic missiles were fired from north korea to the west. they travelled a distance of about a 130 kilometers before falling into the sea. it's clearly

a reaction to, to the escalation we've seen initially with the north korean, a ballistic missile tests. then the escalation over these military exercise ariel military exercises, which have been happening over the last few days in which the americans of extended by day, much to the ira, north korea's foreign ministry. we've seen these 4 more tests firings to day. i think the hope is the 3rd now that the, the south korean american aerial exercises finished that might bring an end to what we've seen as quite an escalation of tuscany, tensions in the region. but it remains to be seen. i think some military analysts here in solar expecting further developments from north korea and the next couple of days. or political leaders in malaysia of santa campaigning for snap general election later this month. pulse is set to, i've been in 2 weeks time. what's expected to be a closely fort race,

about 30 percent of eligible voters will be casting ballots for the 1st time. and let's say that views are the hardest to predict. florence louis reports from con lampa. o 2 weeks to go and the race has begun in malaysia's election candidates and their supporters throng nomination centers to contest sum of 222 parliamentary seats that are up for grabs. there are 6000000 new eligible voters this year. that's a result of automatic voter registration and because the voting age has been lowered from 21 to 18 years, a 1000000 are under the age of 20. it is a step forward to really empowering to use and being able to evolve them within the largest decision making and mission building in malaysia. on the other hand, i realize that because of the, your generation of political apathy, there's a lot of foundation that needs to be built 1st. if you truly want to exercise that

right, effective mohammad in mammal are, if it is a university student who's eligible to vote for the 1st time. so please don't forget to vote. he's filming a social media video to encourage your fellow students to vote that we are very young and militia as a democracy. and as individual as a malaysian citizen, your voice, your voice, do has a power in making the most minute of changes and making the country move forward. unless say, 1st time voters could be a potential wildcard. if they turn out to vote at all, there's also a chance that this group of individuals will not vote for they incumbent because there was no reason for them previously to go out and vote. so there's an incentive for them to go out and what it could be to want to change things, they might find something you will find something different. a recent survey suggests a 3rd of voters are undecided or indifferent. there will be intense competition for

these votes. militia has been wrought by political instability, 3 prime ministers in the last 4 years. berries i national a coalition that has dominated politics, is hoping to secure enough seats to form the next government on its own. the main opposition block backup and harrop on is hoping for a surprise when an opinion poll is already predicting no one party is likely to win a simple majority. florence louis al jazeera, quite little important. frances far i party, national rally is elected george m. bardello is its new president. he will formerly take over from the marine le pen who stepped down in 2021. 20 samuel bardello was enjoying the party as a teenager, 185 percent of members votes had already been interim president for year. the 1st time in the party will be led by someone who is not a member of the le pen family by dallas,

as he will continue his predecessors efforts to attract voters. now for decades, peace has been kept on the island of site pressed by one of the longest running united nations missions in history. but tensions continue to simmer. turkish cypriots demand a 2 state solution and international recognition. while greek cypriots call for a to zone at federation, andrew simmons went to the northern side of the capitol. nicholas here, it's been looking at efforts being made to find a way out of the deadlock. the vast majority of cypriots have never known anything but division in their lives, in this part of nicholas here, and right across 2 thirds of the island. greek speaking cypriots are in the majority walk through this checkpoint. and after the buffer zone, you're in the self declared republic of northern cyprus. one cypress is wishful thinking. that's what this turkish cypriots shopkeeper thinks. chrissy, the aid them is that when you look at cyprus, dividing it into north and south as the source of the problem,

far country to problems multiply and grow in the south. the greek cypriot baker is also cynical you myself, that n, as in the us, if our people, every one is thinking about their own personal interest, all the politicians up to now i haven't seen one politician who loves their country, their land, they love their position, and the ones closest to them, the foreign minister of cyprus says there has to be more outside help. if there's to be any hope of a political solution, we need some help from the international community and in particular from countries that can work with ted keep, everybody stands to gain, not just the stakeholders, her thigh, but also to communities, turkey, grace, but also european union in all, shall the allies, turkish cypriot leaders here weren't available for comment. their position on talks is based on preconditions and they include demands for

a 2 state solution. 5 years ago there was a different leadership in place, and they were more moderate. they had been prepared to accept a federation based on their demands. those talks took place in 2017, in the swiss alps. they were the closest any one had come to a deal, but they failed at the last minute. aust, dilner me had been chief negotiator for the turkish cypriot leadership. he says now there's only one way out of the stalemate. that can only be am going to a new referendum and asking people whether they want a federation or a 2 state solution. as said at one some for all we remove a continuation of the se to score from among m alternatives. separate people from both sides are worn down by their situation. yet when it comes to voting many stick to the status quo. for now, despite decades of frozen conflict, change seems to be a distant prosper.
