enclave following an offensive fine positive body shop. and in the united states, a government shut down peas now. all but certain which could have implications beyond the us and for the working you create the a mike, look welcome. voting is underway in closely watch paw elementary elections in slovakia that could see the country radically changed course on ukraine. people have been casting their ballots following an election campaign that's resulted in a neck and neck race between a former left his prime minister and pro western liberals. both sides have about 20 percent support and would require coalition partners to form a government. former prime minister, robert fitz, so has campaigned on

a populace platform calling for an end to slovakia as robust military support word for ukraine and for closer ties to moscow with a new in with the old. that's what's the values, former prime minister, robert feet, so hopes voters will choose when they go to the polls. he's already let the country twice and he's promising major changes if he wants a 3rd term in office. no weapons for ukraine, a veto farm, ukrainian needle membership and a weakening of anti russian sanctions. if slovaks vote feet, so and his left wing populous summer party back into power, it would be a dramatic about face in the countries support for ukraine. since the start of russia's invasion practice lava has been one of cubes, staunchest supporters regularly delivering large quantities of ammunition and other military hardware. slovakia is parliament has also sought to forge political

ties with the u. s. declaring it a special partner. however, many slovaks are skeptical of closer ties to the west. 2023 survey said 50 percent of people view the us as a threatened current president, susanna chapter tova has worn slovaks. the closer ties to russia, combined with kremlin back to propaganda, campaigns have unleashed what she calls an epidemic of populism and lies one that could deliver moscow a new partner in the heart of the you. after saturday's election, in default on payment to shock is an editor at prompt, the other slip back newspaper and joins me now from breakfast lava. andre, it's been nearly 20 years since the lock you had joined the you and yet it looks like the next leader of the country could be a you skeptic pro rusher populist. how do we get here? a good morning. i'm thanks for having me. i think that if you look at the balls and

the boss, slovaks were among the most part of nations, but boy additions took it for granted. and they're all the time ready to basically using that you as a, as a, as a punching bag. if something went wrong that it was to blame. if things were to him, if things were as successful, debra saying it's it's, it's there on this all their own banking. and of course, uh, unfortunate with the restaurant organs, ukraine, somewhat uh, you want to multiply this approach. s both boys were able to convince, unfortunately, quite a huge number of people that you should and i'll be right in basically what, what was i saying people that the people that you should help the people in the, in the you and so like in other countries of course, so yeah, this is, this is a huge problem. so to what extent could a new russia friendly slovakian government rail

e u policy on ukraine as in day you are, we need, we need to union member team. of course we have somebody like to or, but always a basic open is saying that we have to stop the war and basically, you know, i'm making things a little bit simple, but is it good to give her a shout or rush i want. there is a, there is a concerns that about fits. so if you will be able to establish a government visitor parking as a way seminary progression, i can say, then yes, it could be a problem because you suddenly have 2 countries. as you surely know, russia has been accused of interfering and this election has pro kremlin this information played a role in this selection campaign in a way. yes. but i would maybe say it's more about the narrative, the narrative. so both of his birthdays far right. but it is 55 left birth is a using as a, as a tool. and you're also able to grade own this information and allies and stuff.

for example, we have the discussion evictions. we might actually might be money, provide data or something like that. and i think this is most 3 most 3 of our own making buses, as i said, of course, they're also using version or just allies on slovakia today. that is andre leticia many, many thanks. thank you. then you and says, it'll send emission to no go no car bach this weekend mainly to assess the humanitarian situation on the ground. that follows a lightning military operation by us or by john that sent with an 80 percent of the enclave. ethnic or medium population play. many your exhausted and anxious about their future after leaving everything behind in the central square in the town of quotas. most refugees land here. after leaving the gardener cut off by,

even stated at the hands of their parents for it. so if some of them are dropped the say to live by in the hands of the interest cost task, all right, volunteer the you and refugee agency believes that the number of people arriving could rise to 100 and $20000.00 in the next few days, which matches the estimated population of the break away region. going forward. i'd be thought of, i would work, we'd be forwarding, suiting that to people left behind out of care of. we had been planning for equations to be a longer process. they like ways on these. we have gone very, very fast, very high numbers of people, but us every sort of that many people become instructed, the 10s of thousands of refugees need to be moved to suicide, collect invitation before winter sets in. moreover, this fee is that some hospitals may soon run out of resources. huge tasks lie ahead for

a media in the upcoming days and weeks. a brief round up now of some of the other stories making news at this hour. the u. s. is one of a major serbian military build up and search boundary to pull its forces back from its border with costs of the tensions have escalated in recent months in northern costs of formerly a province of serbia. deadly violence last week between strip gunman and it cost of the police patrol were the worst in use. ukraine is commemorating the 82nd anniversary of one of the largest mass murders of jews in the whole account's. around 34000 people, mostly jews were killed at the bottom of your rob. the outside nazi occupied, keith, president zalinski, joined thousands of others, paying their respects in the capital. a tranquil rain and flooding has brought

crating on it. we could probably be able to move that through. i think if the senate puts ukraine on there and focuses ukraine over america, i think they get the cost real problem. but the house isn't just it. odds of ukraine divisions run deep over other issues to as the w's janelle dom, allowing report divisions between house republicans and democrats. on spending costs a to ukraine, and border protection are hindering efforts to get even a temporary funding solution off the ground. and the country's most prominent republican is urging his colleagues to let the shutdown happen until congress approves new funding. the federal government won't be able to continue fulfilling various functions. but remember that the u. s. government is the nation's largest employer over 2000000 federal thousands of

the very upset from health. it's a little over a week since president loading years of lensky came to washington to rally more support for his country. and the immediate term you created remains protected. even in the shut down, but that spending on ukraine has become a sticking point in these negotiations means the lensky may need to worry about future support. and that's a big concern because you already see the republican congressmen, disputing how much money of u. s. government is spending supporting ukraine's efforts in defending himself against the rest of the business. the already questions being asked, and that being made part of the debates on the government shutdown and whether the republicans allow or the democrats deposit budget. so it's not just a direct hit from the government shutdown to print spending spending, but the question of your credit spending is it was the same whether or not we

haven't gotten them shut down and how long us. but the good news is the us is no stranger to shut down. and sooner or later the result, the forces that one to force or shut down tend to be very adamant at the very beginning. but then as time goes on and the nation gets annoyed about what's going on, they find that it's harder to maintain their fervor and then they'll eventually look for a compromise. i would tell our allies and partners. this is not something new or political process. these are not working very well, but what needs to be judged is what comes out the other end. but what exactly comes out on the other end and how long it's going to take to get there, remain the crucial open questions and to shut down. and it won't just be the american people, but ukraine and us allies across the atlantic set will be waiting for answers
