a choosing western critics of hypocrisy. when it comes to cutoff, he defended the treatment of migrant workers, saying europe should not be given what he calls moral lessons. not poles of opened in the pool for a general election described as a 2 horse race, the ruling nepalese congress and the communist party of front runners. the pool is at 13 different administrations in the past 16 years, but bonnie below joins us live from the polling station in cat man do about to be said look, i mean, nipples had 10 changes of government since 2008, but the same people have been in power is anything gonna change this time around? well, darren, there's definitely more a citizen participation. now there's more awareness. there's more of people speaking out, especially with the advent of social media. there is a campaign online right now. that's called a known dot again. where voters are urging other voters to not vote for the old

faces. they say that these old guards, these old politicians, have been promising and promising, but they have not been able to deliver on their promises. so they want new blood in government. and in fact, back in major in local pulls, independent candidate candidates, did when big and specifically here in cartman do a 32 year old wrapper. ballin shaw won the mayor ship and this has really encouraged a lot of candidates to indication independently throeder hat into the ring. but the question now is, has this gained enough traction has just gained enough popularity? this movement and analysts are saying that this is not yet enough. this is not yet the time for complete change. here in nepal, they said this is going to take time. that right now people are still going to go to, to vote for traditional politicians, especially in the countryside where a legacy voting is the way to go. where people are going to vote for who their

community leaders are going to say. who they're going to vote for. and we're elders are going to say, this is who they're supposed to vote for. and so it will take time. but there is hope for change barnaby. just briefly, one of the main issues then that voters have been concerned about well, so if you look at the headlines over the past few days, there has been a sharp focus on this so called citizenship bill. now this bill has already been passed by parliament by the ruling coalition, but the president is part of the opposition and so she has not signed this bill. now this bill would have given citizenship. so a lot of people living in the border in between nepal and india. and so people there want this bill passed there want this bill signed, but people living away from the borders there, they don't want this bill passed. so consider this as a sub,

the briggs it of this country, if you will, the immigration issue of this country, if you will. it's the really divided a lot of people. but when you talk to people on the ground, this is not a major issue for them. the economy is still the major issue for them. inflation has been rising. it's at 9 percent right now. record 9 percent fuel prices are rising. they're continuing to rise and basic services. this is what they want because again, this has been promised by old politicians. but that they have not been delivered so they want education, health care, employment. all these things are to bobby low life as they're in cap, my to bonham. thank you. malaysia is facing a hung parliament after a time. he contested general election delivered no clear winner opposition leader and why abraham says his coalition has enough support to form a government, his rival and for my premier, mirrored in yes in has also claimed a victory. the country's been plagued by political instability with 3 prime

ministers in the last 4 years. will florence movie joins us live now from calling them performance? that was no clear majority. who is likely them to form a new government? that's right, there's no good majority. it's a hung parliament, and this is the very 1st time in malaysia history that there is a hung parliament. but let's take a closer look at the results. now the alliance of hope, which is the main opposition, led by on why brian the opposition to eda, it's 182 seats. so that means it's the biggest block out of the 3 main contenders. but that's still not enough to form government. not only that, that's still fewer seats than what it held before parliament was dissolved. so it shows that the opposition hasn't increased its support. now the dark course in this race is relative newcomer the national alliance. now it's made its main parties are the malaysian islamic party, which promotes sharia law. and the other partner in this coalition is brought to

a malay centric conservative party. the champion special lights for malays malays. is the dominant ethnic group in this country. they make up about 70 percent of the population and they have special life. now, this means that horse trading negotiations would have already started. and those who are in the strongest position to play kingmaker in the selection. all the parties that are based in the bornea states of saba and throw up and these parties have long been considered junior partners in coalitions of the past. but now they are in the best position to play king maker. and the other implication of the results is that the appears to have been found in rejection of the national front. this is a coalition that has long dominated politics in malaysia. it ruled undefeated for nearly 60 years until it was defeated the last general election. but it only managed to win 30 seats out of $220.00 and they're already called foot leader to resign for us just briefly. one of the main issues and the voters have been concerned about in the run up to the election.

so surveys had suggested that economy and corruption was the voters main concerns and the people with spoken to mentioned the same thing. another thing that a lot of people talked about was also political stability. now in the last 4 years, the country has had 3 prime ministers, 2 administrations have collapsed because of in fighting. and that's just in the last 4 years alone. but whether or not there is political stability that really depends on the sort of alliances that come post election. now if the same parties that were in power before parliament was dissolved decide to cooperate again, it doesn't necessarily mean that there will be political stability because that was also a partnership that was affected by in fighting. not only that, that necessarily means that the national front, whose top leaders have been tainted with corruption, will be back in power. so that does not bode well for the country. now looking at the results as well, there's one more thing that we can surmise from the results. this hasn't been

mentioned in the service, but it appears that the voters were really concerned about issues of race and religion. and it appears that many voters voted along these lines because if you look at the malaysian islamic party, it's managed to double the number of feats compact to the last general election in 2018. and it appears that voters want to preserve those special rights for malays, the dominant ethnic group in malaysia. so this really means that for years to come, malaysia is likely to continue to be divided along racial and religious lines. and this is a multicultural nation. so which means cohesiveness unity that's probably going to be a little bit harder to achieve. but that also depends on the sort of alliances that we will see come out of this election or florence new life, or say in the malaysian capital column of florence. thank you. well, after long delay indigo jason's at last late into the night leaders at cop $27.00 climate summit to result one of the main sticking points they've backed

a fund that would require wealthy nations to compensate vulnerable for the loss of damage caused by climate change. also trying to agree in a target to limit global warming. some members want to keep the cold at 1.5 degrees celsius. former years president donald trump has a twitter account. again, the company's new owner in and mosque says he's reinstating trump to the social media platform. announcement came soon after an online poll, which showed a narrow majority wanted trump back musket knowledge that automated bots were voting, but didn't say how much trump was permanent. he suspended from the social media service in 2021 fence citing violence, but he's not committed to returning to the platform. you were getting a big load to also go back on twitter or i don't see it because i don't see any reason for it. they have a lot of problems at twitter. you see what's going on. it may make it, it may not make it, but as it problems are credible and the engagement, sir negative. and you have a lot of bots and you have

a lot of fake accounts which i think they should get on. but truth social is taking the place for a lot of people and i don't see them going back on to twitter. punish. her counselor has more now from washington dc. this new i pulled that musk announced it started yesterday and it reports are some 15000000 votes were actually submitted. and musk announced in a tweet of his own that it was a 52 percent who supported trumps in reinstatement versus 48 percent, who opposed it. but the big question though is whether these votes came from each individual user or whether they could have been bots. and experts have weight and saying back, given the loss of so many operational staff at twitter, that it is entirely possible that some of these votes, if not many, may have come from bots, which would be ironic since that is the a thing that must most complain about prior to his twitter purchase. but of course

the, the big political headline in question still to be answered is whether, you know, trump will actually go back. he seemed to be pretty cool about this announcement and says he has no intention of returning to twitter. the turkish defense when, as he says, it's conducted arrayed operations and parts of northern syria and iraq. the kurdish lead syrian democratic forces say 2 villages with internally displaced people who are among those targeted. but turkey says it's part of a cross border operation against the kurdish p k. k. they're being blamed for a bombing in istanbul a week ago, which killed 6 people and injured more than 80 others. the group has denied any involvement. and turkey has inaugurated a new housing settlement in syria's northwestern italy province, which was held by the opposition president, russia typo to one hopes this lent courage, a 1000000 of the 4000000 soon refugees to return home. sonata reports from his stumble mohammed hello has called turkey

a home. since he left syria 6 years ago. he decided to leave after the government, we gain control of a level returning is not an option for those who support the opposition. but bahama tells us that there are no longer welcome here that she lives in syrians into the kia are afraid at any time they could face a problem or be sent to areas in northern syria, where to kia is preparing homes from parties into our using refugees. as a cod to pressure the government, turkey hosts the largest refugee population in the world for 1000000 our syrian. their fate has been part of the political dialog ahead of next year's elections. for years, the turkish opposition has been saying refugees should be sent back. now the governing party is also talking about it. the government has had to deal with rising anti refugees, sentiment,

which has been made worse by the economic crisis. inflation is officially at 80 percent and. 2 unemployment among young people is at nearly 20 percent. the government is hoping to encourage returns by building houses in the syrian opposition held areas. by the end of the year, 100000 units should be ready. it insists any returns will be voluntary, but these reassurances have done little to come see it in the case. i'm not of them to do a little clearly the syrians know the total is among the few countries that opened the door to them. but now, because of some people in society, they're facing discrimination. yes, there have been deportations, but according to the government, it's because residency rules have been violated. but many refugees complain about difficult administrative procedures and restrictions on movement. there's also tension with local communities who consider syrians and economic burden. another

plumber last night when we came here 7 years ago, we brought nothing with us. we escaped walker since then it has been a day struggle that we are not comfortable. and now there is uncertainty for many of those who have made this country home. santa clara al jazeera is stumble. bracey sooner has visited ukraine for the 1st time since becoming britain's prime minister . he met president vladimir zalinski in the capital cave, so not pledged his government's continued support, including an air defense ain't package worth $60000000.00. we will stand with you until ukraine has won the peace and security it needs and deserve. and then we will stand with you as you rebuild your great country. and i look forward to hosting a reconstruction conference in london next summer by then let us hope that we have ended this fall breath war and secured a just peace.
