12:21 pm
addition to the long term rebuilding of the lives of these children in gaza, which will take place after the dis, acute phase is over. but right now we're just trying to address the urgent needs, which so many aid organizations are going through and the difficulty of doing this work to all of us face is having access. we have literally is of trucks that are waiting to get in from egypt. and we're also doing our work through services that are available are supplies that are available in the local marketing and gaza. and therefore, i think all of us in the 8 organizations are very frustrated by having the resources available to do this work, but not having the access. and they be able to be the availability to the people who are in dire need of this senator, in a north korea has test fired several short range ballistic missiles. as america's top diplomat visit south korea, the best science flew around 300 kilometers before crashing into the sea of japan. the south korean military condemned the latest launches as a clear provocation unit,

for the 1st time this year. it's main themes, our technology and the youth as well. so we're trying to repressive regimes to play technologies to undermine democracy and human rights. we need to ensure that technology sustains and supports democratic values. north other speakers such as a new case deputy prime minister, all every doubt and criticized autocrats for holding, quote sham elections. an apparent and job that newly re elected president vladimir putin of russia. the summit run through wednesday when world leaders will join in a virtual meeting. you just skim, alda zara. so the ceremony is being held in the swedish capital, stockholm, to mark the country. joining nato, politicians and military personnel gathered for the occasion, suite and officially joined nato. 11 days ago, becoming the 32nd member of the security alliance, the decision was set in motion by neighboring russia's invasion of ukraine. 2 years ago, a russian president vladimir putin says he's country will not be intimidated as he
12:24 pm
welcomed an election victory. that puts him on course to be the longest serving russian leader in more than 200 years. you're shuffled out of the reports from us. it was the result that didn't surprise anyone relating to prison will stay russia's president for at least another 6 years. as you pay is due to i'd like to thank all of russian citizens. we are old 110 year old russian citizens who came to voters. it's very important to say this is not the legal formality, just the russian people have a source of power in this country. they were few ways russians could demonstrate that discontent and this election and not guess arrested for it. but at noon on sunday, sounds did it silently. people came to cause the ballots of the same every time at tens of thousands of putting stations in 11 time zones and abroad after so can represent them a good. it's clear that the president will be elected without us, but at least we will show ourselves. i came personally to show that i disagree and
12:25 pm
to show that there are many of them there. could you always be like, i guess i would like to expect change? i don't know if that will happen or not, but i believe my voice can make a difference. this action was endorsed by late opposition. these at explain the phone, the shortly before he died and it optic penal colony. what else about his desperation replied. it was sad and claims novel and he was close to being released except to go. it was not a few days before the valley passed away. i was told that there was an idea to exchange him for out people in prison in western countries. you may believe me or not, the person who was speaking to me, hadn't even finished his sentence. when i already said, yes, i agree. but unfortunately, what's happened has happened. there was only one condition that he would not come back to russia. he's, we do usually it was chad on as x on both his keaton violin, this broke his companion, wasn't going to change the outcome of the election. like even the patient is
12:26 pm
overwhelmingly populated russia party. i want to continue ation of the policy as it is now in our country. that's why i voted for our president the president's page and was running against 3 of the candidates who never spoke out against him. what he called the special ministry operation in ukraine version of the selection was also held in the next territories of ukraine and even crime. yet, that's just by defining that and shredding of both the territories and russia. anybody voting good participation that has the majority is something that to, that you can make the sales to vote and i know that are going to overseas of these points and these will be sold to the sound system in the future, especially as economy has proven launched a resilient despite the severe western sanctions imposed of ukraine. and that's likely to help present in the weeks and months ahead, which led to reprise and securing another 6 years as president. there's little
12:27 pm
expectations that russia's domestic or foreign policies will change. unit 5, out of the ultra 0 most pulling, also took place in ukrainian territories under russian control, ukraine's president. while it appears that lensky says that those votes are a legal shield now to the government. these days, the russian dictators imitating another election, which is clear to everyone in the walls that this figure that hasn't happened so often in history is simply sick from how long it will be and it's doing everything . how comfortable forever. there is no evil he will not commit to prolonged his personal policy also, but a tina bar. it is a rush of specialist and the author of television and presidential power and put in is russia. she says the election as a contest was meaningless. i don't think anybody believes the high schools they provide inputs and accept the hot spot, the man who to himself. so i think in terms of stage management, this is exactly what mostly does in other countries expected that we would see
12:28 pm
there's actually been a trend every election that latham inputs and has stood in his chair of the boat was gone. all turnout have gone off. so this is nothing unexpected, i think, and i don't think it really changes people's perspective on the regime in the country is very difficult to actually get an accurate picture of what many of options think of the administration. i think there are, there are various different sentiments within the country. obviously, we saw a number of people protesting the election polling stations um, over the course of this weekend. it was also quite a sizable protest in january when one candidate who was on the table was kept off the balance. we saw lots of people so tending up for lexi novalis funeral last month. so there's clearly opposition to the war. actually the government within the country. i think what would be the side of the gerald t a just keeping that heads down. i'm trying to focus on the family and getting buying, and then we have the poor people who the house all in favor of the war and support the administration. but how many people actually are in each group is very difficult to actually validate it for the 1st time in more than 7 years. a chinese
12:29 pm
foreign minister is visiting new zealand. this is seen as an important test of trade in diplomatic ties. as adrian brown reports from wellington, the visit comes against a backdrop of concerned about china is growing influence in the south pacific. a long use visit was only confirm 5 days ago. is welcome from new zealand. foreign minister winston pizza is one of the few events open to the media building. no news conference. peter says, china is new zealand, most important and complex bilateral relationship in poland because china is new zealand because trading pop now complex because new zealand are united states ally is concerned about china spreading influence across the pacific. the complexity is how do we manage relations with a very different political power in a way where our interest is still meant? another fiction point usually lives interest in joining
12:30 pm
a new security pack between the united states, australia and britain, bonus orcus, china as well. and using the joining would put their relations at risk. the most important part of one use trip will come later this week when he visits australia, where a political debate is deepening about how to respond to china is growing ministry power in the asia pacific region. so i think the priority for china is obviously stabilizing the relationship with a stray to which over the last sort of 56 years has really had a number of different issues to the point where, you know, high level communication between the strategy and, and the chinese government's was what's blocked for, for a good number of time. it's 10 years since news even signed a comprehensive strategic partnership with china. since then it's exports to china have double. china is ambassador said recently, he hopes that trade continues to flourish. try.
