remembering all the dutch is the holocaust at a memorial in amsterdam. —— dutch dims. —— dutch victims. and a night to remember for netflix — as �*the crown�* scoops big accolades at the emmy awards in la. hello and welcome. the ruling party in russia that supports president putin has claimed victory in the controversial parliamentary elections just hours after the polls closed. a state television broadcast showed a senior official of the united russia party, andrei turchak, congratulating a crowd of supporters in moscow on what he described as a clean and honest victory. translation: dearfriends, let me congratulate you all

on a clean and honest victory. i just spoke with the chairman of the party who could not be with us today as he fell ill. he thinks you all for this result. let's get more on this from our moscow correspondent steve rosenberg. there's something different about a russian election. polling stations turn into music halls. buses turn into polling stations. we found this parked just outside of moscow. we asked, why in a bus? he couldn't explain. the authorities say the vote was transparent and fair. it looks like a regular election — there are voters and there are parties to vote for. but, most opposition politicians and activists, in other words the kremlin�*s most vocal critics are barred from the ballot. and talking of ballots... at polling station 475 a hooded woman is caught on camera, apparently stuffing

ballot boxes. she finishes one pile, and then out comes another. and it goes on and on. and here, someone is using a mop to cover up cctv, but they forgot about the other camera that caught them pushing up the handle. at this moscow call centre, an independent vote monitor says it's been made aware of more than 4,000 possible instances of fraud in this election. if you talk about standards, some european standards that were assigned by russia too, russian elections are not free and fair when we compare it with these standards. russia's state election commission concedes there have been some issues at some polling stations, and says it's taken appropriate

action, but it denies violations are widespread. as for the result, no real surprise, the kremlin�*s party on course to win the race that was run according to the kremlin�*s rules. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. brian whitmore is an assistant professor of practice at the university of texas—arlington and joins me from washington. thank you for being on the programme. i'm sure you heard my colleagues report there from moscow, a predictable outcome. give us your take on the selection?— give us your take on the selection? ., ~ , ., ., ., selection? thank you for having me, sally- _ selection? thank you for having me, sally. i _ selection? thank you for having me, sally. iwas _ selection? thank you for having me, sally. iwas listening - selection? thank you for having me, sally. i was listening to - me, sally. i was listening to that excellent set up in the wage was framed was right, there is something different about elections in russia, are not really elections at all, we can't think about them like in the uk or the united states or germany where people are selecting their rulers. what

russian elections are is political theatre. they are legitimisation rituals in which the putin regime has to put in a good show to legitimise itself, it's all about how good the theatre is. and these other things i was watching for in the selection, how good was the theatre? we got a turnout of about 45% which is low, the united russia party was getting about 45%, it seems like they are going to eke out a bear majority due to the single—member district, the first past the post races, but i can't look at this theatre is a success as i saw pretty much what i expected, we saw widespread ballot stuffing, and this is not the first time i've seen this, we seen it again and again and what we have right now is a regime that is increasingly unpopular, united russia was poling around a0%,

much lower in the cities. we lost the cities, they lost the youth, the urban professional class, due to the following standards of living. yet this regime showed it is willing to use repression and with acquiescence before, they are now relying more on russian. but in terms of, you say the regime is unpopular and its lost swathes of the electorate, it we have an election, the predictable outcome, it remains in power. what does this mean for those opposing him. the likes of alexei navalny and others who are trying to unseat putin. , ., , ., others who are trying to unseat putin. ,., , ., , ., putin. this opposition is not coin: putin. this opposition is not auoin to putin. this opposition is not going to go _ putin. this opposition is not going to go away. _ putin. this opposition is not going to go away. the - putin. this opposition is not i going to go away. the regime putin. this opposition is not - going to go away. the regime is dialling up the repression. a lot of opposition figures emigrating to the west. in the

regime is going to dial up the repression. in an election, it's important how we count. this tradition has continued into the 21st century from the soviet union to the russian federation. and people are increasingly not going to believe the results of those elections. i think we are in front of approach active period of stagnation. what the opposition was trying to do in the selection, and alexei navalny was imprisoned with his organisation, this tactical smart voting. this single candidate is not the united russia candidate. they deployed

it and it was successful in the past. you calibrate what district you are in, this is the candidate we should vote for here. they wanted to defeat and embarrass united russia to spall the theatre. and what happened, the authorities pressured apple and google to remove that app. we pressured apple and google to remove that app.— pressured apple and google to remove that app. we are going to have to _ remove that app. we are going to have to leave _ remove that app. we are going to have to leave it _ remove that app. we are going to have to leave it there - remove that app. we are going to have to leave it there i'm . to have to leave it there i'm afraid. we do appreciate your analysis. your thoughts on the selection that has taken place in russia, thank you, and for our viewers, so much more detail on the line as well. that was brian whitmore speaking there. the spanish prime minister, pedro sanchez, has arrived on la palma in the canary islands where a volcanic eruption has sent plumes of lava and ash into the air. he told them their safety is guaranteed after a volcano erupted there for the first time in 50 years. he postponed

a good slice of central portions of the uk but we'll see highs of 21 degrees. generally into the high teens the way we have more cloud. as we head through monday night, the weather fronts in the northwest sink southeast words, fizzling out leaving no more than a band of cloud and maybe the odd shower. eventually, we lose that weather front across east anglia in the southeast. where skies clear will be quite cool, single digits butjust holding onto the cloud around ten to maybe 12 degrees. so, we start tuesday off of our area of high pressure dominating the scene, but we have a deep low spinning up to the north of the uk. lots of isobars here, but it will be quite windy across the northern half of the uk, cloud coming and going for the northwest of scotland and maybe just a few showers, particularly by the end of the day. but for the rest of the country, england and wales, england scotland a lovely day with temperatures reaching 20 degrees aberdeen 21 or 22 for the south. we start to see some changes after tuesday. our area of high pressure begins to pull away and allows this to blow in the door to influence our weather and indeed wednesday is the autumn equinox.

it will be feeling more autumnal across the uk. a band of rain spreading into scotland and northern ireland followed by sunshine and blustery showers of the gales developing in the north. a breezy day as well to the south of this rain band. for much of england but another fine one getting the sunshine out, temperatures 20 to 22 degrees feeling quite warm and wednesday it looks like being the last day because behind his weather front to thursday temperatures drop a deep blow, spins up across the north of the uk — we think that will bring widespread gales. it's turning cooler across all areas. thursday and friday will be windy particularly across the north of the uk with gales and outbreaks of rain.
