have about 20 percent support and would require coalition partners to form a government of the double use brussels, 0 chief alexandra, so nama, and joins us now from brought to his lava. for more on this election, get to see like sandra. so what is added the sake for slovakian today, what of people been telling you about the significance of this boat slow people were telling us that of course they want things to improve. in slovakia, they are concerned about the state of the education here. they are concerned about the cost of living prices, about skyrocketing energy prices, but i was quite surprised that many people told us and we are standing in front of a polling station here in the old town all threat to solve us. so i was surprised that many people here told us that they are worried about the general direction

that the country is heading off to a quite to mold shoes and very polarized election campaign. but let's have a listen to what voters see and wrapped in swab i had to say, i feel like the campaign is exactly like the demonstration of this. like we're sending culture and the hatred and, and use of this information in lives in the, in the overall communication and politics. and this campaign i feel like has been the gather that most ration of that mom voltage at those supplies, such as the funded things have gotten lower while ago that it would be better if it is not like this one. and, but it takes me more to competition of ideas and plans for the future. unfortunately, the emotions went in defense volume and won't see it totally thought that there is a dangerous organization that are getting more. russo 5 is taking cover. i'm preventing themselves from and every course i hope so back. yeah. lots of people have enough wisdom to prevent this from happening. all right,

alexandra. so some of the main concerns among slovakian voters. but why don't we put this in a european perspective? what is it steak for the block in this selection? the old rustles is watching very closely what is happening here in slovakia because they are afraid that it's a anti european pro russian forces. who, according to polls are in the lead here, if they are able to win the elections and if they are able to form a government that could mean that they are going to challenge europe's consensus on support for ukraine. for instance. they could join forces with the government and hungry. that's has been a problem chide for the your opinion. and for quite a while they could try to look any fathers sanctions against russia for an for instance. and of course they would call so bolster

a group of eastern european countries for publicly calling for the and of liberal liberal democracy, so full brussels for the date you appear in the union as the whole. there is also lots of sake here and so back. yeah, definitely is always better from nomine reporting from brought his lava. alexandra, thank you so much. anytime the united nation says it's sending emissions and they're going to car mainly to assess the humanitarian situation in the largely ethnic armenian territory. and as her version of that follows a lightning operation by the is there a military that's led to more than 100000 people swing to armenia. and the un says that expects of nearly all of the remaining residents will also leave in the central square in the town of quotas. most refugees land here, after leaving the gardener cut off by by of the latch and corridor dionte wrote

linking to region 2. i mean, all of them left behind the home that will cease to exist as they knew it. as also by john re to complete the control i left it for whoever will come to live in my house, no matter whether it's an enemy, you're not. there human beings know of the human eye once more. we don't want to lose our home or next, but it was an order for mazda by john gunner judith copper. reintegration was as an by john was not an option on both sides. have had a lot of victims and now i think i'll return to them. they're going to come up. ah, it's impossible. 30 percent of those arriving of children, of the months of being cut so from supplies. some of them are in dire condition. this the waste said is that some of these arriving with children that are so weak

and even stated at the hands of their parents for it. so if some of them are dropped the say to the, in the hands of the interest cost task, all right, volunteers, 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 part of, i would work, we'd be putting, suiting that people left behind out of care of we had been planning for equations to be a longer process. they look 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 fly ahead for media in the upcoming days and weeks. now, howard is the canadian journalist and analyst base and armenian. he joins us now from the capital yet on. so new we understand that you just recently returned from the armenian border town of quarter needs, or where it tens of thousands of refugees had been arriving from us. or by john, tell us what you saw there. yeah, i mean, the scenes were, were, were just as unless you were people for about, about 5 years. i have about 5 straight days of that that i was there. you know that, that have all. now now the numbers officially a over a 100000 people have left in to have that many people coming in. it just as the space of 5 or 6 days means that the flow is, i don't know 11 road just means the flow of them was and you know, the people just kept coming. well, we have to remember that armenia is a poor country with very high unemployment. so how is the armenian government

managing this massive influx of people? and what's been the reaction among the general public? i mean, via the, as, as he said, lord or me is, is a company under 3000000 people developing country. and, you know, 120000 people would be a lot for any company in, in a little over a week. would be a law for any country taking a little loan when this condition either the dead. i mean, despite that, you know, things have been things were relatively orderly down in parties aren't gore's. they were, they were disciplined, they were taking people are putting them on the buses are directing them to other parts of our media, all across the country where there is housing available for them. but still that's a lot of the as a short term solution. you know, there's, there's around a 120 extra houses lying around for the 100 is 820000 people here. so a lot of them are going to be staying in hotels and the waiting for the, the to get the real as well as are by john has made a number of statements promising to respect the rights of ethnic armenians. but uh,

by friday, as we've been saying more than a $100000.00 has had less than a going to car box, which is nearly the entire population. what does this tell us? i mean, everybody's also made a commitment in 2020. what is cited ceasefire agreement to abide by that and not restart a war like it did last week. and it all it also in that see if i agree with it or they agreed to keep the latin quarter open for the movement of people in goods. and it did not do that either. they block that in december and you know that they don't even block you military and aided in june. so for 3 months people were literally starving to death. there was little wonder that don't know the from the car about to expect everybody going to keep his word or anything else either. that was journalist neal, how our reporting from yet on neil, thank you so much. thank you to let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making headlines. this our united states has warned of a major, a serbian military buildup and urgent belgrade to pull its forces back from its

border with comfortable tensions have escalated in recent months. in northern close to vote, formerly a province of serbia and deadly violence. last week between serve gunman and the cost of a police patrol. for the worse in years, las vegas police have charged a man with a 1996 murder of rap legend to faction cor. dwayne k. c. d. davis had previously admitted that he was in the car from which the fatal gunfire came. the unsolved case as long frustrated investigators and fascinated the public. torrential rain and flooding his broad cot, chaotic seems to new york city. heavy rain knocked out several subway and commuter rail lines left motor, a stranded and flooded basements. a state of emergency was declared with age and a half 1000000 residents being told to stay at home for shelter in the us. the house of representatives has rejected a bill to temporarily funds the government making to shut down highly likely,

which could have consequences that reach far beyond american shores. here's what speaker of the house kevin mccarthy had to say about one of the main sticking points in the current bill, the war and ukraine, somebody we had a clean one without the 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 i think that could cause real problem to but the house is not just that onto over ukraine divisions. run deep over other issues as dw janelle dom along reports 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 2001000 from health it's a little over a week since president loading years. the landscape came to washington to rally more support for this country. and the immediate term is ukraine 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 the us government is spending supporting ukraine's efforts in defending himself against the rest of the stations. the already questions being asked, and that being made part of the debates on the government shutdown and whether the,

the republicans allow of 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 government shut down and how long is that? 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 us shut down tend to be very adamant to 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 that will be waiting for answers. you're up to date on dw news, stay tuned for our tech magazine ship a marion evans team. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more headlines for you. thanks for watching the these places in europe, a smashing step into a bold adventure. the treasure map for modern globetrotters. describe it as some of us wriggled bragging sites on youtube and also into practices stereotypes to say to where these of.
