the, the, the, the, the time you saw his intent placed to go, they use corruption and viewed and inclusive presumably. and what they listen has been described is a divided between the old and the young generations. for the ellipse rates, use it choice between maintaining this fits us. cool. well embracing they change in the opposition, which they, i'm not sure yet. many would want to see a government that would send around the corner me create jobs, good health and inclusive between m. s. 11 number, but it's

a 2 years old. he came to power of to it 2017 military cool, which tor poured long time. who lot robot mcguffey, many see when under what didn't change, much though, and he's accused awful pressing openings. when the international state is known for his close relationship with the russian president, let me have 14 he had recently attended putting these after the assignment and accepted, gives, including in your presidential helicopter. no. so and to me, so he's just 45. he's a lawyer in the pasta, but it has been politically active since he's you. he's credited with the reviving and published what position of to me just please in the past few years. international. so me site is quincy dead, western leaning. then we're not, god bless. i'm at least see the live stream that is to attend info, the incumbents, jude to support from stifel guns like security and the judiciary. and many expect

another disputed areas out the context, no between pressed into non guard when to know so in general, so it's likely going to be a disputed dispute is it comes or not. so again, will be on the opposition to prove that jim vi did not lose the election if the old position with but failed to prove it. that will mean more of the same question about was people. and many of them are struggling to say 5 in it, but at the corner or for responded privilege was fun here, a who file that report is in her already following the elections for us. i asked him earlier, what issues are top of people's minds as they cast their ballots at the top of the people's minds. if what does go into different folding stations today is the economy. you find that zimbabwe has been tried, is struggling economically. and a lot of people are employed and is what is going to cost their balance. is this

troubles within the economy that will be at the back of their minds? they hope that the next government will be able to tackle most of the problems that people are facing right now. the challenge is that they are facing most of the challenges has to do with us. the ability in the economy, things like the currency and the exchange rate. so these are some of the issues that people are going to be having at the back of their minds. it's the bread and butter issues that most people are concerned about. now your report also mentions concerns about whether the run up to this vote has been free and fair. do you think we are likely to see a disputed results here? of the analyst predicting it disputed, resolved in this sense, that the issues that have been cropping up in the run up to today. one of

the issues is to do with the what is called the the lead me titian exercise, which determines the boundaries of because the 2 entities. so you find that votes as some of them is they are walking into the polling station. we, we, to me is this uh today where people are coming to check the names the i told that your name is not this pulling station. maybe it is not d plus shifted pulling station which is now 5 kilometers or 10 kilometers away. so in, in that sense, a lot of people may not be able to what they are disenfranchised because some of them may not be able to go to the respective places to go in cost. and they have voice that's used as well. of course the one or 5 the presidential content as to withdrawal from the election because you was saying that look for you during the

it's the run up the issues to do with the disqualification of candidates. and then he says, even if i'm going to contest, i only have 20 full members of by them in out of more than 100 that they were expecting to be contesting. 8 to 7 does not need to read. you start to contest. so you are saying, even if i and then my next to become president, i will not be able to have control of the probably, i mean, so those, those are some of the issues that to me um you know, bring out it disputed results in this election so with these issues and these possible hurdles for some to actually go vote ours and we're excited about the selection. these are after all, only the 2nd general elections since represent copies allister, of the, the watches up. and if you're not, is the mood um in the run up to the election,

the hype is not being, as it was in the previous elections, you would. uh, yes, you could not. is that we are in an election season because of the election. you had any that was happening you because of riley's and like, but if you speak to the general in the origin that people, some of them are not even consent to come out of their house to day to go in custody a balance because they're kind of fun with what has happened previously and what this thing is that some of the pros promises that we've made in 2018 when not met. so those are some of the issues that may be, you know, crop up as well. and due to some of the, of what has to come out and going to cost the about today. well, thank you very much for your reporting. that is date of use correspondent privilege . what's been here in hillary. well, leaders of the bricks group of leading emerging economies are holding their 2nd day

ex appreciating what today i've done already deposed on the values of values that ought to be have done. we have seen right now in k. now i don't the developers and we're like, it's the lines. the school is a multi pull. the role that isn't dominated by the west experts, a western industrialized countries will have to change sort of the old colonial licenses of the colonial paula and the developing country, syria. russian president vladimir putin to parts only via video link, choosing to avoid any chance of being arrested on arrival for potential war crimes and ukraine. expanding the block to let new countries join is high on the agenda, but members don't agree on how to do that. and what criteria they should use as a group grows and confidence and may be numbers. western countries may have to prepare for change. and we can turn our attention now to some other world news

headlines at this hour. the philippines have sent supply boats to a remote outpost in the south china sea, despite what a government spokesman called harassment by china. the supply vessels were blocked by the chinese coast guard, even while being escorted by the philippines, navy, and coast guard. china claims large parts of the disputed region as its own. evacuations are underway in flooded parts of central sheila, as heavy rains continue just want the region. emergency services have brought tens of thousands to safety, but many more remained cut off from basic surfaces. the government has declared a state of catastrophe in the worst effected areas. thailand's former leader taxi national but has been moved to a hospital on his 1st night in prison. officials of the 74 year old was suffering from chest as comforts succeed, was jailed for 8 years on corruption charges just hours on for arriving back in thailand after many years in exile. and

a building in central months ago was damaged after the russian capital was attacked by drones overnight for a 6 night in a row, moscow airports were temporarily closed. the russian defense ministry site at 3 drones had been detected, 2 were shot down. it said while a 3rd was electronically disabled, the kremlin blaine's ukraine for the attacks of pockets on his breathing a sigh of relief. after 6 children and 2 adults who were trapped in a dangling cable car were lowered to safety. local rescuers are being praised as here. it was for their role in the operation. they stepped in after the military was only able to say one person by helicopter. the rest brought down a zip line, ranked by a local emergency team alongside the army. working throughout the nights of students had been using that cable car to travel to school in the mountainous region. one of those rescued has been sharing his story. smiles of relief,

as i told lies, were united with his family. but are they going to go off to surviving a terrifying modell on his morning commute? we're looking at some of those things that we will going to school around 7 in the morning when they've gone to lewis off, why they're, it's cable broad condition. it was dangling and it was terrified the jasmine that other afterwards the helicopter arrived and tried to risk us. why? because the teenagers uncle describes the panic that was felt by those watching from the ground. the boy, i loved it, me, it, them. and it was like a doom stay for the area. i'm not going to the i'm everyone rushed out of their homes that have been and children not all those sisters that out you would have use the same cable car in the mornings and afternoons. stuff like that. iowa, that 8 people, including 6 school children, was stuck in a cable call for hours of to the support cable snapped leaving the going to low

hanging high above the ravine. rescue efforts by helicopter were eventually hampered by wind. but all me come on those in locals. what time to see side by side into the evening to bring each person to safety some nearly 12 hours of today was fast stranded. cable cars are popular made of transporting roommate mountainous areas of pakistan . but they often not retain the maintained pac custodial. authorities have now oh, did safety inspections of old private mount lists? well journalists, mesheena voss has been following that rescue operation from his mamma bon. earlier she told me more about the rescue mission. so it was a very long day yesterday,

the military had been involved for hours attempting to rescue children, and the 2 adults and they were successful in doing so. to some extent, the operation went well into the night and that's when the locals also stepped in and use zip lines to rescue the last 2 people. so it was definitely a joint effort and could not have been done without this kind of teamwork that we saw yesterday. we also have to remember that the locals knew the terrain, and they knew the cable cause better than anyone else as they are the ones who made them. so their knowledge and skills were important in the sense, given this mission. yeah, and of course there being praise as heroes for their efforts. now looking ahead at how to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again, do authorities and progress on have a plan to prevent accidents like this in the future. so at the moment the kid can take a prime minister, his off the old cable cars and your lives be suspended. um, these are areas where people cards are used to

a transport because they're very roads are for disconnecting the values to reach jobs. public services and families to local people are left to dispatch things together in the form of these unregulated cable cars that are made from scrap material. whether there is a solid plan to address the issue is you have to be seen the suspension of all cable cars is a solution prompted by a local and international medias with me and is not backed by any long term vision to provide an alternative. one suspects that the, that the band will work initially, but over time, as there is no practical alternative, the local people will begin running the cable cars again, despite the suspension. well, thank you very much for joining us onto to visit with that update. that's journalist machine of us and as long as i thank you to let's return now to one of our top stories leaders of the bricks group of leading emerging emerging economies are holding their 2nd day of talks in johannesburg. or we can get across to our correspondent diana hawk, or she's in
