after 20 is in power present, which app tie bird one is facing is toughest. electro china and yet much of the opposition has united to back one. the dates come closer, role in a country, steals cod by february 7th, sitting earthquakes. the government's disaster response is a major issue in this election. the economy is another big concern after a year. that's orientation. hit 85 percent as well. we have 3 correspondents across the story. this r, as in honda, is the non tack in the south. one of the areas where it's hit by the us quakes in february. resources is in take, he is capital on caraway. the main opposition leader can mind can issue is expected to vote in the coming hours. but 1st we go to send them for several, any assemble, present at one stronghold benson. and you are the posting station where present or the one is expected to vote. tell us about how it's going so far that the world fully

a to every election presence ours on comes through the school on my right side. and he will, it's in this building, this is, this is a neighborhood where he lives and assemble. and this is basically one of his phone calls and assemble where he has told me to support as a soul for the appetite is in the sense in the polling stations up into cuba. and nearly 80 percent of the electricity is usually votes. and this is what is expected in this election today as well. um, unless it is uh, facing the 2nd round on may 28th presence out on has been sledging for prosperity for his people as he has being accused of a high inflation and the rising cost of living in the country. but he has been p a . he invested with the last 2 days of his campaign and this summer where he starts with his political career, where he was born and where he started as

a mayor and in 2019 and the ruling gulf far to last the sambal to the opposition candidates academy, my mother, who is the current mayor right now, and that's why i present side on is focusing on his stumble and saying that if assembles have yes, he's far the name self has a 10 with at today's alexis, this is walter. you have been saying in the last 2 on weekend yesterday here minded in doing one of his speeches that the next sir in 2024, they will. they will also be mail elections and he wants to get this sampled back because assemble was a consult uh, administered by the rules and got party. and he enrolled and got parties predecessors for more than 25 years. but they looked at them. this is in 2019 is the point where the roland got far to start to lose ground across to kids. that's why we didn't get assembled is very important both for civil and got parties and it's candidates. presidents are drawn and the opposition and its candidates

come, i could have said all this is the situation here in this, the boy. okay, thank you. seen him seen him with the late to say, from assemble this cross to current out resources is the forest vista will how's the voting going way your of the well, it has just started to around to the see hours ago. we are in our jump in primary school and i'm kind of this is the school where the physician leave, the chemical start on loss is going to is expected to come and cost more here. so we can see that there's a ballot box where there is people out the representative for the. busy parties there, and there's that are in this competition. so the what it costs or what they are, and people are manual terms of the people in the crew waiting to come and to cast their worst. so this is the practice of today. and also we can see that there's

a huge crowd also outside of the school waiting for the physician leader. so i'm going to start on the to come and to void, so cease parties and try to 6 up position partners and truck. you have formed an alliance and to help people come up to the startling but as they are unity candidates. so now many of them support this, often not going to start on the police that she is going to be took keys next president. so she is an election campaign. she moved to restore peace and democracy at home and internationally. she is promising to most of the ties with the west, with united states, europe, in union, and nature, and also new installations with russia. however, the focus for the position of the keywords for them, for the change pulled and also to restore to recover the economy. because tricky has one of the highest inflation rates in the world. and a people are suffering tremendously from this skyrocketing prices. so that's why

they're very much focused informed dad and his supporters believe that it's a shame that cool. the lever a feather, a democracy. i'm on inclusive democracy panels to a better economy with the better living. stand this however, today, if none of the kansas received more than $54.00, since the last one was done is going to go to the 2nd round and the decision is going to be in the 2nd the on may 28th. okay, so and that is going to happen between the 2 kind of this will receive the most of the awards. okay, thank you for so for that result, sit on life force. they're in correct. this now speak to xena. honda who's in unpack it for his in a, considering the devastation and much of the province suffered during the earthquakes. what sort of logistical challenges has his boss for voting and campaigning that well, the 1st challenge, this is where will people vote as you travel across the southern or provinces, the quite could provinces, all you see are destroyed,

collapse buildings where the residential buildings, schools, hospitals, so what they are for these did was build these make shift pulling stations, container cabins, and this is how people are voting in this area. since we've been here in the early hours of the morning, there has been a steady stream of voters considering the fact that many people left this area, 3000000 people were displaced by, by these devastating earthquakes. but what we've seen since the early hours of the morning, we went to the main bus station and, and the hot type province. and the, like you mentioned, it's one of the worst hit the provinces. during the quick, we saw a bus after bus arrive from, from across the country, and people were telling us that these people had relocated to other cities. following the quick, they're saying that we have to come home. we have to exercise our right to vote. because this is our democratic right, at the same time, you feel that there's

a lot of anger in places like cuts high people here feel that the authorities ignored them, didn't help them and the aftermath of the natural disaster. and they also feel that the authorities are still absent until today, so you'll get that feeling here. but when you go to other provinces you, you get the feeling that of the ruling, the ruling party, the party, they still maintain their support among their loyal look toral base. they believe that the president is the only man who can build the hundreds of thousands of homes . he did promise that that is going to happen within a year. so you just look around, the reconstruction process has still not begun an earnest 3 months on. so when voters cast their ballots in the back of their minds, it will be who is the man who is going to help us? we build our shattered lives. they know. thank you very much for that. xena harder life for as a non talk you. i took

a the outer world news cycle, and mocha has made line fall along the coast of bangladesh and myanmar. hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated to see for areas a strong winds and rainfall by the coastlines. nearly a 1000000 ro hang and living, and refugee camp seemed cox's bizarre in the storms projected past agencies say that preparing for a major emergency response. after there is done via chandry has as it can st behind me, the wind speed as really get up since last uh, half an hour and i caught him to the bank of rush mad office. it put it somewhere between now and local time for pm, which will be 10 gm to the truck out. it's showing. it's moving more towards me on my coast line. it will get some of the thrust here. we have a danger signal number 10, which is the highest. it's really one of the strongest cycling we have seen in

wrestling decades. emergency medical attains thousands of volunteers are stand by the same in the rapids. and unfortunately, the rest of the can don't have concrete shelter, the off of the government offices and mosque, and now the boat with concrete. but there is no shelter, and it's too late to evacuate that from any number of people, the, a 1000000 refugee. now the prime minister of checkouts in our settled is monitoring the side front end. that will do that fast to tucker with whatever the after effect . maybe after the cycling i choose between israel and the palestinian onto islamic jihad came into effect on saturday with an egyptian mediated ceasefire. or after 5 days of fighting many people in guys or has been left without a home. the violence began on tuesday when he's really ever a scale to 3 senior is lama jihad commanders. at least 33 palestinians, and one is really have been killed. this was the worst escalation and violence

between israel and guys i since attend the war in 2021. or we have to correspondence on this story this i'm a john june is in west chosen. but 1st we go to you now side in gaza. you know, us today just from there is a sci fi holding well, until now the ceasefire is holding and people who are you guys are more than happy to welcome a ceasefire. as you can see, this is one of the homes that has been destroyed. many other homes have also been destroyed in gaza, so the people were very much ready for a ceasefire, where they can have some peace and guarantee that no more homes shall be targeted. and this instant, also we have the crossings opening this morning where a few will supplies have entered this trip. and that's was a major problem for the sole power plants here in all other hospitals. where there was an accurate shortage of,

of fuel threatening to shut down the sole power plants fully. thank you. you know, for the updates, i'm not our sides live there in gaza city. let's go now to west through spam homage . i'm doing this air force. i mean, what, what are we hearing from these really officials and was from and as soon as you know, under any pressure to enter into this, these 5, i will follow you at this hour. there is the weekly cabinet meetings that is taking place and we expect that the once that's concluded, there may be some statements issued from the prime minister. what we've heard thus far, the last public statement from any official here in the government was late last night when the national security adviser tweeted that he had sang egyptian president was put down as easy on behalf of prime minister benjamin into the yahoo for their vigorous efforts to get this cease fire done, the national security adviser also said that quiet will be met with quiet, but if there are any more attacks for israel, israel will defend itself. now that's on the one hand,

what we've heard from officials as far as if the prime minister was under any pressure she was coming under building pressure. the facts of the matter is that you are had members of those communities in the south on the border with gaza. but it started getting really worried about whether they were going to be able to get back home in the coming days. tens of thousands of people in those communities had evacuated, have gone to other parts of the countries, and you also have political pressure. there was a lot of concern behind the scenes these last several days about if how much was going to get involved in this conflict. these really, governments, even though they were taking an aggressive stance, they kept warning how much not to get involved. but there was concerned about that behind the scenes because of how much, by their estimation of how much they've gotten involved. this could have been a much wider conflagration funding mom a to thank you for the update. i'm having jump june live there in west jerusalem, and still ahead on algae 0, vine, and seems don forces thousands of people across the border into chad, creating a dire humanitarian price.

the a. we victory at the eurovision song contest and livable and a competition dominated by tribute. so you create the, it's relatively cold and waiting central you for the area is going to expand over the next day or so. now, don't read the look you want this time here, but where the lucky volt and ultimately maybe it's wanted. anyway, that's the picture for sunday. concentration of the rain probably is going to be on the other side of the dramatic increase ation. for example, quite a strong wind here as well, but it's extending up through all 3 of you in a sit in the a 30 degrees on a on the other side, the on show breeze has a still bringing cold each weather cloud. and that breaks

a rain through spain as well, but this is expansion during monday into portland. so this whole area is causing it might be that the brakes are right in the concentration circulation. so the heaviest range is going to be in sicily, and still that cold breeze is springing when he's in some snow, to be honest. and possibly the parent needs that from north africa, with the exception to tennessee, and algeria where you see that right is cause houghton drive. the most part we all getting chance is fondles of self. molly, but the heaviest right is still near the coast in for example, tiger or nigeria. i know they're, they're all. so i'll just tell him to the c o p in highlands and you'll see them coming up in the forecast here on monday for somalia. although the wind is moist going up along the coast, it remains dry from the sky, but there is some run off. are to the talk to l just 0. we ask who is a really fighting this pressure, basic faulkner or is it the russian military?

we listen, we started talking to me, i'm a or so that is your citizen. you should stick to the back. we meet with the lady, news me, cuz i'm talk about the story stuck on. i'll just see if we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter when you call hun, we'll bring you the news in current across that matter to you the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching audra 0 live from don't have recap of our top stories. voters into key are casting the banners and the most closely contested election and living

memory present. reject typo to one is facing a tough challenge from the unified opposition candidate to come out. after 5 days of fighting a sci fi agreed between israel and the palestinians, who does not make g. i seems to be holding in gaza on assume the incentive rate's, it'd be easier if she broke the terms of voting is also on the waiting timelines. generally election, which is seen as a potential turning point for the country. the pro military establishment is being challenged in the selection opinion. polls have indicated major games for opposition candidate by tom times. you know, watch, she's the daughter from a prime minister tax and she and watch her and is seen as a major contender against prime minister by you and channel child who's running for re election 8 years after coming to power in a cool. let's go live to tony chang in bank called forest. tony, what's the turn not been like? and it was high this morning. they would curing. yeah,

sorry. the polling stations before they opened at 8 am local time. it's tape it off a little bit. now in the heat of the bank of afternoon, but we heard from the election commission a little while ago, they were hoping for 10 out of a be about 80 percent, which is still pretty high for thailand. we have also split at the ballot stations . we paint to st ballot boxes which are getting very full of votes, so it seems to be pretty good. we saw most of the leaders of the major pauses making statements as a urging people to go out and exercise that democratic roads. we spoke directly to patel in town, should've was who said she was hopeful today she'd woken up optimistic that it would be a smooth process. i wouldn't question. she said she wasn't concerned about interference off what she said had positive done nothing wrong. and she would let the people decide, so it seems to be a process that's gone smoothly today. we seem to have

a touch of how it turned out. the election officials behind me are starting to prepare the materials ready for the account. we go to another 2 hours to go, and then the close the, the voting stations start counting the votes and we are expecting results in about 6 how's time? and is the result likely to be clear, tony of the but i think that's the big $1000000.00 question. the everyone's wait here. yes. i think there will be a clear results of the election tonight. but whether we get a clear results on who's the next government is a very different thing. the polls have suggested that the policies of opposition to have a very clear advantage going into this election. that'll probably be reflected in the vote counts. but they probably won't get the 376 votes they need for a land slide. now that means that they can bypass the 250 votes in the senate. those senate is all appointed by the military, and it's to the when it comes to choosing a prime minister,

the vote would go to those pauses. nonetheless, i think that have been concerns about interference, the possible a it's, it's or option of this process by the election commission. you've already had complaints lodged against the 2 major opposition pauses. i think the feeling is here that if the turnout is high and the result is clear, it's going to make it very difficult for people to really challenge the choice of the type people. tony, thank you. tony chang live there in bangkok. representative some sedans, warring factions will hold a new round of talks in saudi arabia. later on sunday, they are expected to discuss a deal to allow humanitarian a to reach those in need. but on the ground, the sudanese army and the power military rapids support forces continue to fight, give a morgan before some undermined nit cartoon. the strikes were launched by this is denise army on saturday morning against the rapid support forces positions in the city of the mind,

as well as in the modern parts of the capital. how to them and the cities of heavy and co 40 the rapids support forces have responded using surface to air missiles and other heavy artillery. this is despite the fact that the turing sites sign typically ration of principles on says they inject that inside their review. that's allowed for a to come to those who are trapped in the capital, have to, as well as opposed to billions, were caught up in the fighting between the 2 wearing sides to be able to leave their homes, to safer zones outside the capital. the army also accuses the rapid support forces of north, complying with the agreement by not withdrawing from at least 15 hospitals here and the capital one to which it says before it says occupied. meanwhile, the rapid support forces are accusing the army of indiscriminate bumping. think that civilians has been targeted by the sword in his army. fight suggests in there as strikes. now the 2 sides are supposed to start another round of talks into things such a review on sunday to come up with them and kind of them to implement the agreement that was already signed on thursday and to allow for the opening of humanitarian

cory doors for 8 to each of those in need. but the residents who we spoke to both and on duty mind and, and by having said that, they have little belief or little hope. but any talks would produce concrete results on the ground. after nearly a month of fighting between the 2 sides, he but more than oranges 0 undermine. or the number of refugees seeking shouts, a neighboring child ties dramatically. increase you an agency say up to 30000 more refugees have arrived in the last few days from sedans, westoff, or region. they've made cap near the town of rota and more on the way own in need of immediate help. as in bas robbie, re for some east and chat. or the 10s of thousands of new refugees of poured into charred from west are for the latest and perhaps clearest. assign violence inside sudan is getting worse.

civilians abandoning the homes in exchange for their lives only to find themselves almost immediately in another fight, surviving their chatty and host, try to allay fears, but the situation here local official say is getting out of hand as well. why do i know that if they don't get tense, if they don't get boyfriend food, if i don't get close to where they will die at this place, just as you see them. now i'm asking you to help these people help is coming. but slowly, 8 agencies, the local government, military and police, all agree. they haven't seen anything like this so far. since the conflict began. if we just walk over here, you can get a sense of how in norm is the scale of this humanitarian crisis is the tents. and this makes shift curb, they just keep going and going really,

this represents an enormous humanitarian challenge ahead. how scarce everything is, how remote this place is. and how little these people fled with really means that the humanitarian crisis a has a challenge ahead is enormous. fighting, it's hard to him between students, army and the parent military rapids for 12 courses is the stabilizing the whole country. but the conflict is complex. so done in general, and are for particularly have long been the scene of ethnic fight, pitting arabic speaking communities, against african. exactly who is behind the latest. bivens invest, our phone remains unclear. perhaps the truest picture comes from the refugees out of the mouth, but the arabs are killers. they killed a lot of people. you see that they took the cows and scared the children away, the people left without finding good children. why not? why didn't, i don't know, maybe the data says a hung up. we didn't lose any children, but they killed my uncle, the children over there, their father was killed. people living in these camps lack the most basic

professions. it is a struggle to perform simple task. and being in this place requires great still, they say it is better to face 1st hunger and homelessness than the barrel of a gun. and so they keep coming. agencies expect numbers to surpass previous estimates. the rains are coming to without adequate shelter. they risk disease illness more misery. the communitarian crisis sparked by the conflict into that is spilling over the same bus route, the o g 0, but ulta, eastern chad sweden has won the 67th eurovision song contest. the u. k. stepped into hosts event after last years when the ukraine was unable to do so because of the war from livable. so have bomb and reports to the we all the with is a good,
