was inside the high court. they have no justification for the arrest. they have talked to me. they showed me in the arrest warrant the 1st time inside jail. wondering what's happening is the lower of the jungle. the minute she abducted me, where was the police? where is the law? it seems as martial law declared to you, i guess you're not going to just to give you. unless you know, the focused on the government sees it will abide by the court ruling. but also shows want the popular opposition leader to be held accountable for widens by con supporters. following as of, as for corruption charges. joe, i saw the attacks on sensitive buildings and installations were called for,

carried out planned by who was the planner in run the housing plan. who was the instigator in run, yazzy mc took on diamond on the cook. a tito done. politician who was also as prime minister in april 2022, and a parliamentary no confidence board ever since. and ron con has demanded new elections, which are expected later this year. gremlins, as russian president vladimir putin spoke with his south african counterpart on friday by phone rochester, movements around a poser want to intensify what they call a mutually beneficial ties between the 2 countries. the reported call comes on the heels of a us accusation that south africa approve sending weapons to russia post as that his government was looking into the allegation which one of his ministers has denied the accusation, stems from an incident in december when the us as a russian cargo ship was loaded with arms and

a south african naval base. the government of south africa is in fact not. not amongst the things we noted were the docking of the russian cargo ship lady are in simon's town between december 6th and december, 8th, 22, which we are confident of loaded weapons and munitions onto that vessel in simon's town. as it made its way back to russia, which does not suggest to us the actions of the non allied countries, it will be use privilege move on here. he is in cape town and told us more about the diplomatic falling out between the us and south africa. oh yes. um there are lets us we just received is that to the us some bus that the his apologize unreservedly to the south african government. i think this is

following his visits to the foreign affairs minister where he was some wound area and they have set off again for an administrator. had said that that they were going to formally complain to the us government about the stations that were met by the my son on thursday. so this is what we are receiving that now the bus side to his apologize. the for use of remarks is that the med one says the end of march is that the minister in the presidency is also being quotes, is that so you said that they value us as a trading partner, but they will not be bullied. and also the national convention committee had not received any application or even approved the sale of items to

any country that is involved in the ukraine conflict. mm hm. so the picture is quite unclear here. earlier today. privilege from a poster and a phone call with his russian counterparts, blood and repute. and was this in relation to these accusations? so once we get out of, for this phone call that was made between the 2 presidents is that they only talked about them depending their intentions, the deep and they have cooperation areas of cooperation. but the subject about the re pre monday, or even this page that is happening between south africa and russia, and we didn't get confirmation with them that was mentioned within this phone call . mm hm. and the ruling amc does have longstanding ties with russia, but south africa maintains it's neutrality in the war and ukraine we heard and

there before briefly give us some background on that and see has had a longstanding relationship with russia digging back to the um yeah. as of the soviet union when, so this will be a junior and supported the n c in this trouble against a positive in uh, in south africa. um, you know, taking into kobinie since that the n c is part of the liberation movements that way of being supported by the soviet union. so in this trouble, i'm going to school on your new lives. and so yes, in see has add to these longstanding. but suffice also to say that the south african government has always maintained that it is neutral in this conflict that is operating in ukraine privilege and was one here in cape town. thank you so much for the latest update. and what has been the most intense violence in recent months and the region palestinian rocket attacks and is rarely airstrikes have claimed the

lives of combatants and civilians. on both sides, the latest is rarely attacked, killed another commander of islamic jihad, an injured several others on the gaza strip within 30 palestinians, including children, and one is rarely have been killed in the strikes risk. it was rushed the engine from the scene of another deeply raucous attack on kansas city. women and children sleep. the apartment building was lumnick jihad consumed another one of its high ranking commanders was killed. the palestinian militant group is listed as a terrorist group by the european union, united states and others. israel said it's air force had attacked hundreds of islamic jihad positions in the gaza strip and recent days, some residents denied the homes had been used by militants. for the doctor,

the new did they quoted me and asked me to leave the house. and i like the neighbors. they called from a private number and said they verified a wanting, beside, which happened about 5 minutes later. the board been struck. as you can see, what a 100 all but i mean, not ship the guys the strip is being deserted and shops have being closed for days as reason and seek shelter. think that yeah. let me just say that, i mean, really need a truce and just doesn't know. i am a broker if i but i get food to eat. if i don't work, i haven't have nothing to eat. of the sites and bumping is very annoying. the con, sleep, i'm guessing, and we have lots of children, hopefully deal with the truth because we are really tired of this in november. i tried to, i don't know how the light educated her certainly more than 800 rockets have being launched at israel from cancer in recent days. most of being intercepted by the is riley defense system. i am done. but one failing me

a but i in south of jerusalem in another striking and it's really man was killed and reasonable autonomy. a tel aviv on thursday international case for a truce, have sofa been unsuccessful. but egypt, a frequent mediation between the sides, is pressing on with c spot, if it's hopeful of a response from the relentless rocket attacks are corresponded. rebecca rivers is in the as rarely city of ask alon and a short while ago. she gave us the latest pain and pretty quiet here for the last couple of hours. but as you were just saying, it's fading pretty heavy or intense day here today. the audience making many attacks into they've gone to a strip that they've, they say the latest around is 50 more her and rocket launch positions were destroyed at some i mean she had come on santa's and of course that of a senior come on the same. you talk to bras later on the is not going to have was

also killed in one of those attacks today. taking the total number of come on is killed in say, in the 4 days of fighting to 6. so a very big hit now that was in response to rocket 5. it kept was coming from gauze of some of those rockets reaching all the way to jerusalem. they were actually then intercepted by the israel's and defense system, but still very significant attacks. i mean, we haven't seen for a long time, and certainly the 1st time we've seen it in this current flare up and that instigated to further, but that's, that's what instigated those attacks from the id s. now this afternoon, late in the late in the afternoon in the early evening, we then sold quite a few rocket attacks coming from garza into into israel. and all of that was intercepted largely there was a few shrapnel. he's a instances of shrapnel coming down, but no major damage and no casualty. so a very heavy day. but as i said has been quite quiet here for the last couple of

hours. we were expecting some rocket fi we had from sources and also from the idea of saying that they were expecting some kind of retaliation from is i'm a g habits, sofa. things remained quiet, i think is a look at some of the stories making news around the world today. you and says, 200000 people have slept. so johnson's violence erupt at last month, thousands have arrived and shot in racing day. meanwhile, surrounds warring factions, have signed a deal, brokerage and saudi arabia and rules to enable the delivery of humanitarian a to the ability political parties in thailand have made their closing appeals ahead of the national election on sunday. vote could hand power to an opposition party and kick out the military back government. the ty army chief is promising not to ask. whoever is elect at this time. ron has released to frenchman who had been jailed in separate cases. they were accused of spreading propaganda and spying banassi alone, who also holds irish citizenship and benjamin vs were both freed on humanitarian

grounds, following negotiations between fair on and the irish and french governments for watching deal. but you know, still the come a long mosque announces a new twitter, c e o will tell you who she is. at 1st turkey is preparing to head to the polls on sunday in crucial parliamentary and presidential elections. that could mark the end of richard type are the ones rule full show the main opposition canada and come out and collab stone. and it's like lead calypso loop who has promised to release and present opposition, figures and restore media freedoms was boosted 5 and surprised the withdrawal of another candidate on thursday. the close race could and more than 2 decades of airlines divisive rule that has transformed turkey. first as prime minister, then as president dw storage, the correspondence lujan took

a look at the main concerns that are likely to drive voters tacky with out the ridge of ty of add one for many people here that was long considered impossible. but soon, his days in office could be over. as more than $60000000.00 voters prepared to add to the ballot books. let's look at the issues that could threaten the president's grip on power. the most pressing concern to vote has something that's being felt by everyone. here is the cost of living crisis. food prices, for example, have skyrocketed in recent years and even many middle cost of say they find it harder and harder to afford a decent standard of living. the value of the tax, usually raw, has plummeted, with inflation heating, 85 percent last october. that's the highest, it's been in 25 years. many blame the situation on ad one's unconventional economic

policies. the president has also been criticized for his slow response to the devastating earthquakes that struck turkey se, only 3 months ago. more than 50000 people were killed. the experts say failure to impose building codes is to blame for the highly dest told, and that ad one's highly centralized, system of power had weakened, state institutions. in the course of the 20 years, the ad one has been in power. he has hollowed out the democratic system. critics say he's face party loyalists and key positions crushed down on civil rights organizations and vote most of the media under government control. while add one still enjoys the support of many religious conservatives. others say they are increasingly put off by his strong men who they get better.

he also faces an unusually galvanized opposition. 6, very diverse parties. the nation, the lions have united behind one candidate. come all calypso. there stages aims to roll back the powers of the presidency, repair the aging economy and renew touched democracy. in this election, the opposition is presenting voters with a much stronger alternative to add one than ever before with a very different division for the country's future. one that appeals to a wide, a section of people here combined that with the issues that are touching people's lives ahead of the selection. and it makes a victory for ad on anything but so oh, of 2 days to go before the 1st round of the presidential vote, i spoke to her own arm on a spokesperson for president richard. type erred once

a party. i asked him how worried his party was in light of full showing their incumbents, trailing it. first of all, let me go, let me. uh, let me just read my remarks regarding your package. i think your package has loaded alonda physicians. i wouldn't have time to, to answer all of that. but let me just the mark, my disagreement. i have been in the 10 painting in, in last 3 months, the tongue tens of thousands that party volunteers over there a night tirelessly. and let me, let me add that. i'm very proud to, to see that we have to give that we have delivered. well, we have promised that 5 years ago, and people are giving credit to that. and the rad, these are we do a small readings and ready to read it in the stumble, historic high participation of the 1700000 people with the highest that we had enough. fair enough. fair enough. we're not denying that you have

a strong supporter of b lemming around a lot. there. i'm very sorry mr. our mind, me just allow me to add, this is actually the sign that people who give in other time to present their door . and that's what it is, a sign that you do have a strong, a strong base still, but it is a fact that you are trailing in the polls. so how nervous are you going into this election? we, we, well, i don't know which poles you're referring to, but the poles of that see, and like i said that so you klein and more intriguing mr. kill it. so it'd be, as well as the polls i've seen from different organs, the different research groups are shopping this present law, usually dna. well, i believe that we will have on the 1st round of, in, in terms of action. and like i said, i've been on ground the last 3 months with tens of volunteers, tens of thousands of volunteers from a party, and the picture we see on growth is a lot different. all right, let's, let's talk about the picture on the ground because darker citizens have been

struggling with a crippling economic crisis. inflation peak last year at 86 percent and is currently still well over 40 percent. how can you, as a party, under whose watch this unfolded, tell them that next term everything will be better. but we are not immune from the global economic challenges. and as you know, the global pandemic crisis, russia, ukraine, more iraq, the energy crisis has impacted all countries. in fact, germany was the, was really seeing the information that the 1st and last 40. and so we are not immune and to be accepted as challenges. but inflation has dropped to significant the last 6 months, 42 percent. and we have created 2000000 jobs in the last 2 years in the last year, but, but one got it failed, failed. don't have enough money to have right on the table. we have gate, we have gained the highest tourism an export income in the last 12 months and we know that there are no there is nobody even knowing that there is nobody in denying

that mr. um on the uh, i just want to know what your plan for 1st fixing the economy. yeah. its right, this is very important if you allow me to, at this point because we are policies to continue on investing on education in investing on innovation technology. and we would know that they would pay off and they are starting to fail to, to use the best recovery and countries. i'm all these crisis and we give you continued to lot of the come through did launch the projects that we had, the natural gas in, in north sea, the all righty and the nuclear power plant, the renewable energy flags we just launched in last 6 months. i think all of these projects will, will strengthen our economy and people are believing that they may mind, but also your dear residence will miss heard on the policies have been, have been granted as sustainable and, and um, and on orthodox to, to call it the for lack of a better word that could end up harming the turkish economy more than they have

already done. i want to move on. because under, under the current president, while that's agreed to disagree, then at a target has withdrawn from the simple convention on violence against women, women's day marches have been banned. and the president has repeatedly attacked the l g b t q. community. how is that? the behavior of a democratic government. so let's women rights issue is one of the summer number one issue that we have for our party when it comes to human rights. and any woman organization in turkey can acknowledge that the biggest achievements on this issue was made in the, under that fi totally under the leadership of prison. and now the one on the we will continue to do so. we will not let these and we will not these that because we will not let any rights of you have gained will going little more beloved children to commit to, to increase the standards. this is why president the one i mean women, and many other members of minority groups in your country, my back to differ there. i do want to ask you, we don't have much time

a but less than 2 weeks ago mr. are the ones that might, people will not hand over this country to a president supported by the p k. k. referring to the opposition leader there. can you promise here? and now that your party will respect the outcome of the democratic process, look present and the other one doesn't say that, but of course be, will be, will respect the decision of full effects. as i see that both of the boxes will do present there during the next part, the 1st round of it, but whenever it comes out as a decision of public, of course people's respect that all right, i will take your word for that helen armand. thank you. so much for joining us on the double you tonight. you can take the vote of circus people will support democracy in 30 a lot, most cousin as fool will be taking over for him as twitter. theo musk will be handing the reins to linda yucca reno in 6 weeks. is that she'll focus on business operations while he concentrates on new technology and design. that carino has

a strong background in advertising sales and appeared on stage with musk last month in front of hundreds of advertisers. mosque has been searching for a path to make twitter profitable since he bought the company for 44000000000 dollars last year. around our correspondent in washington, we say that group now has more mikaela mosque is a familiar name to many, but who is linda? yeah, carino and why was she chosen or what's arguably one of the toughest jobs in tech as well. it's really, you know, mosque and needed. it's someone else in the company. his or he bought and twisted for 44000000000 and he tried to fend of buying it. and i just want to remind us all that he's himself felt it was too expensive. so he was trying to at least negotiate down. now the company is really meant to be worth about half that advertises have left the whole company isn't tumble off the most people were sacked by you know,

mosque and see need someone on board to give some, some credibility that he is also going to have an eye on the detail, one of those details. a rather large one is also advertising where the revenue going to come from because it hasn't been very successful and actually implementing something that just blew. it hooks that lots of people lost now which now costs money towards the users don't want to spend money on the platform so he still needs advertises. and the new seo has those credentials coming as a form, a head of advertising of nbc universal. she has the contacts and she potentially kind of open up new ways of revenue for him. but i do want to stress that he himself said that he will remain as executive chapman. so it's not like he's handing over the overall executive role. he will remain her boss as the executive chairman, and he's the owner of the company. so that certainly will rain and how much of the

way she has and really shaping twist site will still be very much, you know, must cause brain child in the future. yeah, so he's not yet done with calling the shots there. do we know any, any precise details about what his role is going to be now? well, he is going to, he says himself, my role will transition to being executive chairman and chief technology officer, overseeing products software and systems office. well, that doesn't really leave very much else does it? i think city wants to receive twitter, and it is a very interesting question. what kind of need your social media company it could become in the future with him having a office don't limone, he was sent from cnn to basically come and join or the excel. it least explore the idea and tucker carlson who was fired the very same day from fox's. he hasn't

signed any contract that's being stressed but is also expected to re loans on twitter and that will potentially re site the company. so i think anything could really happen, and people already pretty much pacing that's, that's what twitter will actually be in a couple of years from now. mckayla kick. no thanks. that's ok. the

making the headlines and what's behind them. dw news, i forgot the show that hopefully issues shaping the continents slowly getting back to normal here. well, in the streets to give you enough for points on the inside correspond that is on the ground reporting from across the continent. all the french stuff from outside to, you know, 60 minutes on dw, the
