is maxime from you, and he has more than half a 1000000 of subscribers on telegram. what is also reported is that the investigative committee opened a criminal case for murder. the media, albert phantom, a published a version of events that is now investigated. according to it, a woman give to tarzan he with a statuette. after handing over the gift the woman took her seat in the hall. the explosion happened around 5 minutes later, and russian media reports that the woman is now wanted on terrorism charges and was brought to a st. petersburg hospital. but so far there is no information about her identity. and what kind of reaction have we seen from the russian side, if any? yes, clear russia pro again, this were very fast to comment. and of course they blamed ukraine, anti praying and terrorist for tad hurt his death and demanded retaliation. the office of ukraine's president zaleski denied being involved in any way, but back to russia, former state duma, deputy f. one

a mighty off who lives in ukraine hinted in a conversation with media outlets. the thought that he knows of lead into authorities killer in the past. he also claimed to be involved in killing philosopher and propaganda, alexander, duke and daughter, but couldn't provide any evidence for that. so it, it was questionable if he really knows more about who is responsible. but what is a fact is that petoskey spans are devastated and started laying down flowers where he died. some of them said that he spoke to quote god's words. and at some point should become a saint in the russian orthodox church. thank you so much for that. that is our correspondent jennifer polka reporting from rica although are still being counted in finland's parliamentary elections and the center right. national coalition party is currently leading the field with more than 70 percent of results in incumbent. hon minister, s and m marine social democrats are trailing behind for right leader week, a poor as fins party who are in 2nd place. turn out was at nearly 72 percent,

almost unchanged from the last election. i'm joined now by my finish colleague, and as far as de who has been following these elections closely for us, anna, tell us what we know about these results coming in. well, the prognosis indeed sports, the conservative national coalition party with party leader pet that he audible in the lead. so he will likely be the next person to try and form a government in finland. and as it stands, all options are still on the table on the conservatives hasn't, haven't really ruled out cooperating with any of the other parties. and in the nordics were used to these very large coalition governments, sometimes with 4 or 5 even 6 different parties in them. so it's likely that these negotiations will take quite some time since the raise between the 3 largest parties, it has been very tight. all the time,

and it will be also down to the last ballots, you know, to see who has actually won these elections and with how much of a neck compared to the others. we'll have to wait and see to know for sure. if you tell us already though, what this might mean for prime minister at santa maria, how likely is she to get a 2nd term? well, she is not very likely as it stands, are currently to get that 2nd term. but we have definitely not seen the last of her . she hasn't really specified yet what role she would see for herself if she were in the prime minister any more. but she is popular across party lines and for a in prime minister to maintain or even increase the support for her party in the next election, which she has now managed. that's quite unprecedented in finished politics. and she has also become internationally a recognized phase and icon for feminist politics,

a young leader. and that's popularity has also carried that definitely domestically . and let's talk a little bit about the international picture. russia, of course, sharing a very long border with finland and finland to set to join nato. the military alliance, formally as early as next week. what impacts will these elections have on finish foreign policy? well, if we focus on that nato membership, it's still really a question mark. because in the membership negotiations, finland left it open as to how, how involved they would want to be in the alliance. so we don't know yet whether there will be a natal base, for instance, in finland, which is a neighboring country to russia or how finish, involvement within nato would look like. and that's very much up to the next a government to determine. so a right wing government is likely to have than finland total, heavier involved and in nato. and when it comes to the left leaning government

option, and that's likely to be more modest. thank you so much for spelling out those possibilities for us at this stage of counting. that is an assessment for us in the studio. really appreciate it. my pleasure. and i can take a look now at some other world news headlines at this hour result, kenyon, opposition, leader relo dingo has called off planned anti government demonstrations after 2 weeks of chaotic protests. so, oh, dingo, at his party woods instead, sit down for talks with president william router, his government speak, odin got his supporters accused roto of stealing last year's presidential election . although the results were upheld by can your supreme court administration? he's doing everything for the algerian journalist, a saint al cody husband sentenced to 3 years in prison by a court in algiers. the prominent government critic was found guilty of receiving for and funding for his media company. one of the last independent groups in

algeria, humanitarian group as so westman has had a ne, says it has rescued. 92 migrants from an overcrowded dinging off the libyan coast. a charity says the group included over 40 unaccompanied miners. the rescue people have been transferred to the ocean viking rescue ship on route to the italian court of salerno. and about frances has led up palm sunday mass on rome's heater square just a day after leaving hospital following treatment for bronchitis hit by the storms. battering the u. s. t mid west and south authorities there have declared a state of emergency after the state was hit by multiple tornadoes, least 26 people have been killed in the extreme weather but a shredded roof and battered cloth rooms. all that remained of this arkansas high school students here just beginning to come to terms with the damage done by the tornado. i'm a sophomore. i've been here since 1st grade and at the school i just,

i love it. we have very many traditions. good. i'm very proud of the school and i'm just really sad. oh fact, but it's gone, but i know we will come back stronger if we can build a better school. keep those traditions going. residence in areas of at least 8 western and southern states were affected by the heavy storms that brought dozens of tornadoes. these devastated towns and cities often leaving bubble in their wake. this is the moment that the deadly storm approached the city of little rock in arkansas and this driver managed to capture the terrifying moment when the tornado hit

ground. the government has promised assistance to the areas affected as rescue efforts continue measuring the full extent of the damage could take months. let's go to paris now. it is one of the most densely populated cities in europe. and in recent years, the administration has opened new bike lanes and reduced parking spots to try to reduce congestion and part of its green up mobility driver also some 15000 shared electric scooters. but their days could be numbered. a referendum is being held to decide whether scooter should be banned or paris correspondent sonya font. a car has more downtown paris, 3 floating rental electric scooters or 20 minutes as the golden fringe. all the reach. leona looks in the real estate agency and has been using them for 3 years.

i often did buy it, don't i work in central paris? and the quickest way to get there right now is on an electric scooter. it takes about 10 minutes from my place to work out. if i took a car, i think it would take 45 minutes other spot. but the scooters, a hugely contribution could exceed the biggest problem, safety accidents involving east winters on the rice law steel. the city recorded 408. 0, he's a bell on bubble, is a pianist at the paris opera. she was hit by an escort and park in 2019 breaking her wrist into place, which she was forced to stop playing for your former bosses' 4 years after accident . little has changed. she shall dinged, kilobit old song. so it's a question of educating people who use these things, jeanette,

but there's never any police presence on the street will do that. i've hardly seen people getting fined for traffic violations. i think e screwed her writers don't see us pedestrians. it's like we're shadows. they have to go through any cause i said as fast as possible, repeated with him. it's a new shed my many on the speaker or fishes. musically. i ride a bike and every day it's just horrible with the electric scooters are comp on by they, they don't understand the traffic rules don't. it's healthy as a supply. i'm a taxi driver at times. there are 2 or 3 people on an electric scooter fooling around. it's dangerous for them as well. electric scooters of toys, not a mode of transportation. why the possible the public backlash has prompted paris to set up a referendum residence being asked a simple question. are the in favor rent an electric scooters on the streets or not to a different company?

the stakes, a high for shed o school to companies. paris is an important market. nicholas gauze says banning rental feats would be a blow to the cities and by michel credentialer was the 1st consequence. if there is an o, is that we're going to substract a trans amino transport for $400000.00 people. it's always going to be replaced by only 2 things. mock saturation, public transport. and if you go to barbie transport, you were seen saturated and more individual vehicle. and so indeed, i'm concerned, you know, one year before the olympics, that his, his sending about signal is famous does beat audit want to winkie e scooters uses, will have until september, to zip around the city a flight before we go, let's get a reminder of the top story, we're following for you at this hour. there's been a deadly explosion in a cafe in the russian city of st. petersburg rushes interior ministry sands. b last killed a well known military blogger, black vin,
