breaking seats. street is continuing into 2024. so i have to say that worrying milestone should send sharp points around the world. the hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. both counting has begun in pakistan in an election, dogs by violence and allegations of corruption. several people were killed and militant attacks as tens of millions caster boats under heavy security. holes have closed and preliminary results are expected within hours, but a clearer picture of is not likely to emerge until early tomorrow. votes this across pakistan lining up to cost the ballot in an election that has be mont, by violence and obligations that the contest isn't free or pack as don is in the midst of political and economic crisis. and people heading to the polls here hoping

for change every single vote can change of the holy country scenario. you know, we are in very poor condition nowadays are countries visiting so many problems very, to be very honest. i have a zullie expectation from the like the process, but the, i guess the, the things are not going so good. but we have to board because, you know, you can say that the democracy, even the voice of democracy, is better than what we can say that i just looked at the or the little courtesy. i guess the frustration with the political system is one of the reasons that turn out in the selection of expect it to be know. another reason is that the country's most popular politician from a prime minister and run con is currently behind because he's being convicted of

corruption and other charges. and con, runs to office, his supporters and members of his party. so he's, jailing was political. and that the election is reached against them. safety concerns also one vote. his minds to explosions, killed dozens in the country, south west in provence, a bullet just on any hours before the vote. violent events have overshadowed the election. hundreds of thousands of army power minute tree and police have been deployed to provide security on election day and the interior ministry suspended mobile phone services starting tire concerns as it is proving a controversial move amongst a pack of stone is an adding to the already tense conditions on voting day dw, the show me the shelves in pakistan and covering these collections, they joined just now from karate. show we're pulling in,

the country has officially ended. what can you tell us about election day? it was a huge thank you all the data election day and we were out on this creed of i'm gonna bring the elections full view of the internet was shut down and the mobile services across the country were also not accessible. it was a very difficult day down, so the goal, so put you on a list of boarders because they would not be able to do up to interact with each other on the bodies, especially from a brand new seminar on spawn. usable. the said that we have already shut down the internet and provide services so that there was none of the party could not galvanize and mobilize supporters of orders to go and call their fathers. so it was a very disruptive kind of scenario and boxed on. and also

the pulse also is for rodney violent blushes and different parts of the country. and what happened yesterday, but not just on dr. back loss, but it's also important scenario. that's the reason they had already said that they shut down the well aside from the violence, they've also been allegations that the elections were not free and fair. uh, what's your assessment? i was there have been many locations of people, reagan and human rights organizations have said that because of the incarcerated form, a problem is written wrong on a drug down on his body. but i have also spoken to kind of this year and they said that it's a big call and spoke with dr. d is, is a center in albany is big city like karate. lamar is not about charlotte quite uh.

and the lady is the phone is 439 palmer brundis the motion and something out of the story. b dot coms. popularity is also going to be a social media allusion. so i'll need is also the accounting of folks close like an hour ago. i'm going to have this started all the kinds of those like that to be done, fall problems and all leading in many areas. the ones that we have to wait see, or do we have the operations as impulse now, in room con, the 4 prime minister, he himself has been barred from running in the elections even though his party was still standing. to what extent did cons absence from the ballot impact the turn out? do you think i think a lot of the supporters wanted to make a point and they told us that they told me yesterday that they would definitely go

and cost that balance because they've gone to do, conveyed is do the ball is not being got the income of but the tunnel was not the very high different box of the country and it was expected of the town was no done. tons of body would be in a in a position to read. they would not be able to do strides. so this is shelby, i always seem to have lost our connection there. that was the w, a shallow shops in karachi. now, israel's prime minister has rejected from us proposal for a ceasefire in gaza saying an absolute victory. there is just months away. then you mean nothing, you know, who described the plan as quotes delusional. he insisted that there is no alternative to the military collapse of hamas, which is designated a terrorist organization by many countries. the ever takes with angle and

heartbreak, intel of eve after renew deals to secure the release of hostages is rejected. many here hostages themselves held by him off for weeks and relieved during an audio deal. whereas my government. so thank you for getting me out of the bringing me back to israel. but what's about my father, who is still there? if they are not returned, every person mother and father will know that they can be next. their life is in the hands that they live in a country that does not take responsibility for the security. is there any prime minister benjamin netanyahu projected the do you think that his military is campaign in gaza? will continue nothing. but we're on our way to absolute victory. the victory is in

our reach. it's not a matter of years or tens of years. it's a matter of months. us officials believe there is still hope of a deal between israel and thomas. these things are always negotiations. it's not um, it's not flipping a light switch, it's not yes or no. there's invariably back and forth. and as i said, we see that we see the space for that. you mean violent garza no deal? no seas file means no let up. and his rarely attacks close to 28000 gallons have died according to the most fund hilton industry. hundreds of thousands are lacking food and water show to and medicine. because it's enough, it's enough. we do not want wars. we've been displaced from gas it for approximately 115 days today, we've been abandoned. we have children now we're infected with diseases and the

model. the doctor sees volume humanitarian situation in gauze, i will likely worse and with people here uncertain. if they live to see to maureen, the families, so those being held hostage by him, us and gaza, have been pressuring these really government to do more to bring their loved ones home. i spoke a short while ago with a fraud much of cala whose relatives were kidnapped during the most terrorist attacks on october 7th. some of them had been released, but her uncle, glad moses is still being held captive. well, today is the 150 day. worries grow as the time goes by. we have no news at all. we. we have no information. it's 4 months now and we have no idea about my uncle. we have no

idea where is the policy or a quite serious medical situation. we worry, we worry about the team. we worry about his friends from keep woods near or where one of 4 people were attracted to a minded we blurry. all the rest must share with you that all the families now in my one big connected family and it's, it's very difficult. we want them back and we know that there is no more time we used to say time is limited, but now we know there isn't any more time. so i've heard about was on the record before where our prime minister says it's a matter of months. but there isn't any time we have to bring them back now they, they're fading away and we want them back alive. this story has

really been incredible. i i, it's very hard for me to actually describe to the viewers what we're going through . but the only thing i can say is just think of somebody you really live within your family and try to imagine suddenly somebody pulls him away, brutally, and is gone. and you have no idea this power of terror is absolutely terrible. you mentioned israel's prime minister of benjamin. nothing. yahoo! he's just rejected. how most proposal for a cease fire. the deal would have seen is really hostages exchanged for palestinian prisoners. what's your reaction to that proposal being reject as just as the weaknesses who came back from hell that you showed us before and the press

conference, we all feel the same. we are seeing him responsible and whatever he says, or whatever he needs till today was going to not we believe he is responsible to maintain the morals and the values of cherishing life. just as we believe in, as we were educated, according to the wonderful tradition of the jewish people. now, one of the jewish commandments. a very, very important for a, for by the i guess around the world is the redemption of you have to use that's a fairly important moral act. and we expect our prime minister not to play politics. if this is what he is trying to do. i wonder,

but to make sure that he greens, everybody back, there was a terrible mistake. there was a terrible catastrophe. i know that we have to predict our security. we are all interested in security. the citizens of israel should have secured life or your labs. he's all right, so he also has, sorry, he also has to make sure that by being the head of a state of the modern state who chair his live, who continues to play immoral role in everything we do, he has to bring them back in at one more point that i want to make that there is a big difference between what between what do you like see of our government and who we feel we are as people. um i remember the late um

president uh, she montana nice. who once had a speech at the you in about iraq, and he says is, well, is not an enemy, or they run me and people, it's their document who destroys the words and we have to be careful. that's the same here and you know, it's, we're not, we're not full or we haven't started this. we are, we are captives with, in this terrible problem. but forward air from left to fight for life. we expect our prime minister to do so. and to bring those who are feel alive, back home efforts, magic how and southern israel. thank you very much for talking with us today and thank you for the time. it's very important to your support is always highly appreciate it. thank you, this to russia now where the main election authority has refused to allow the an

anti war candidate to challenge by the near put in for the presidency. morris not yesterday. and was told that clause in his paper work meant his name could not appear on the ballot for next month's election. the open critic of bolcko's military campaign in ukraine says he now plans to challenge the ruling board is not dashed in, in spite thousands across russia to break the cold in order to sign a petition that would allow him to run against vladimir putin. he set himself apart as russia's only anti war candidates, actively calling for change. you happen to know that if i decided to run for president, because i wanted a different future for our country. i wanted russia to be a peaceful and free country board. missed all. no, we're not testing claim to have collected more than doubled the 100000 signatures needed to appear in march as valid. but the russian electronic commission says

these contained irregularities, including the names of that people. okay, then when we, when we see the dozens of people who are no longer in this world have left a signature. questions arise about the purity and ethical standards that have been used, including by signature collectors. to some extent, the candidate must also be directly involved with breaches. dashed and this prove particularly popular among younger or russians, surface, se he represents a potential threat to the kremlin. yes, the new bill there is no doubt he could collect 10 or 15 percent of the vote because when you think of some union, you know, way well he become president and often pro of or even be serious opposition and you propose at least keeping in your store to deal with that, but this would be extremely inconvenient for the kremlin up as you'd see, the portable because it exploits the idea of the confusion. yep. the desk

didn't have the support of well, no, no opposition? figures like me. so a caught a coffee and the wife of alexi and a valid e q, as well as it got to the not on salva who herself wanted to run for president, but was blocked by the central election committee. but he's also face criticism for appearing and propaganda talk shows and calling the war and ukraine is special, military operations is the core and we can end the special military operation, only with peace towards us together, russia, ukraine, on the west, is up for many boys in the district in the represents a ray of hope when it comes to changing the normal life in russia. which is why one's comment phase. i want to broad few, tim, where we can best 2 children in a free country, let them be free for once. but when i want a normal life so that everyone can have it, this normal life, but with an addition and now part from the ballad, the dreams of a different brush up here, deferred once more. of us kelly, i'm off is a political consultant who used to write speeches for president vladimir pruitt to,

you know, i asked him what he made of decision to block and adjusting from standing as a candidate in the upcoming election. so i'll definitely play it was and that's a little bit predictable or decision, you know, and anyone who understands the how russian public opinion is functioning now. uh, what was up. so for sure that they wouldn't go out and either doing so when you fold, who was trying to be the ending work candidates before and who was probably within by defense election commissions in december. and my d as in we were also really led kremlin, wouldn't allow them to run because we have them and the war can to the, to be on the ballot. but it would have turned the election into the era for i am the i'm on the issue of war and peace uh,

even more broadly speaking on the issue all uh, mileage a which we have in the russia versus normality. and so we didn't have no chances to put in was the candy that would be the candid about the war and the candidates of normality. and no matter what was the name of the opposing candidate, candid or the never mind that they either doing so or in the day of saying this candid up. uh well, the way it was, uh, okay, we are. and the, and the decision though is quite, quite predictable. and then you have justin says he will challenge the ruling just briefly. do you think there's any chance the rest of the supreme court will decide differently from the electoral commission? i don't know which of those sound that old yeah. institutions are full of controls by putting them in ministration. so no institution what they are to do anything

different from what has already been decided. okay, still no judgement is not the 1st candidate is, you know, we've talked about it already, who's been barred from running is preteen afraid that he would lose the boat to a challenger like not yesterday? yes, this is the most interesting thing. now. it becomes evidence to amory one. previously a lot of people who had this illusion, the put in was the most popular, which i don't understand of this illusion. this to these, the most popular is very artificial. it cannot come to class is the way the reality be to an unknown journalist from the province like doing so for the like as we call systematic liberal, that is not. and the system a position to see was quite systematic. see, there was no promising to put, put into prison, was not like this. so maybe be, it's not,

they understand like this, this construction where we say the court in the was an ass and eliza or that the enjoys 80 percent of popularity. well, it's extremely artificial, it, it has nothing to do with real public opinion with a real move in the country. so that's why they have a formally 80 percent of approval. they're afraid of for to face the candidates who have like formally 4 percent of approval. um, so it wouldn't have no terms if i can plan for it it's, it's just one more questionnaire. really want to ask you because, you know the elections is still to happen. is there anyone left who could still challenge booting in the upcoming election as all the other candidates? they are candidates, all circle? systematic 4th is that is crumbling, control political part is visual so far so forth. it's uh, there's

a special note that operators in the war and they all spoken fever and missed more . so now we have put in then 3 more assembly. let's go up pro more and not a single one who is empty words. so basically there is no choice unless one of these 3 changes changes is the, uh what, what he says change is this, uh, pm. um there would be no challenge to actually at the beginning of the procedure when they just started coming out, you know, scanned it as it was the end of december. oh, mass and the like. were not claiming that we're going to we, it's not as we're going to fight for victoria. so unless something unexpected happens and it goes thinking, it's possible because these people, they all see the, the wheel publish mode, the growing, send them on a and the more send them and, and they put in a 2nd. and 3rd, and always taking nothing and possible. of course it's just um so you know. yeah.

but we still remember that my d as in by themselves who are just 2 months ago, he was quite tomorrow. he was not like to absolutely. all i can to put in the dissertation change towards him does because it's the growing demand busy mom to create. so the position. okay. of us kelly, i'm of a former speech writer for blood to me putting thank you very much for talking with us today. thank you very much. i what's the use climate change service says that for the 1st time ever average global temperatures have been more than $1.00 degrees celsius hotter than in the pre industrial era for an entire year. limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees is a key aim of the 2015 paris agreement breeching that mark even temporarily. shows how difficult it is to become to, to achieve that goal. humanity has into dangerous new territory.
