time on youtube is mckinnon. welcome to the program. russians all set for another 6 years of vladimir hooton's rule. off the he claimed a landslide victory and russia's presidential vote. the election was held after a cracked town on political opposition across the country, who's in face no meaningful position. one fact, so which led officials in the you and the us to call the contests neither free nor fast. and his victory speech cushion said he would now focus on ukraine 2 years off to the full scale invasion of russia's neighbor that was initially expected to last only a few days to marching out to meet supporters. platinum at 210 celebrated an entirely predictable election went off to securing yet another time as russia's

president he claimed the victory was due to the trust and hope russians had placed in him and usually cbm. yeah, for sure. but he used to look at the 1st of all, i want to thank the citizens of russia. looks like we are all one team has done that. i see called us citizens that came to polling stations and voted you showed us once again, but i want to say, and this is very important and then you most, it's for them when the, the source of authority and the nation, which is the russian people that i knew you let's, i see scheme that all voters had little choice. all those who could have meaningfully challenged putin are either jailed, exiled or dead. rushes leading all positions. take a alexei novelle. ne died suddenly last month in optic prison, breaking his silence of an invalid. these death boots in cold it,

an unfortunate incident. the elections have been criticized as being neither a free nor by the us gemini and ukraine. sue mcdermott or the russian victor is simulating another election with everyone in the world understands that this figure, yet as often happens in history or simply become a ticket to power and just doing everything he can to rule forever. there is no evil, he won't commit to prolong his personal power. well, so police ballade the election when appears to been bolton pollutants plans for his bow and ukraine. in his victory speech, he vowed to strength and rushes military suits and has now been in power since 1999 . if he completes his next 6 year to he'll be rushed as longest. subbing lead to in more than 200 years and some more,

i'm joined now by d. w. use eastern europe editor roman gunter, and co wrote room and welcome to the studio. now let them it pollutant has extended his rules as expected. what should we expect from him now that he has secured another time? or basically we can expect more of the same, so more, more um, outside of russia, more against ukraine. but maybe he will try to intimidate the west countries. um, former sauvage republics like moved over a neighboring country of ukraine, could be um, in his focus because we saw some attempts or at least that looked like that uh attempts to destabilize the. so the situation, the representative from montalvo regions traveled to moscow representative from a 10 semester which is a kind of a, a separate district public on northern territory, oscar the russian problem and for support, especially for support. so that could be coming inside to russia. he'll be

tightening of the group for the group on the opposition as well. although it's in it's, it's hardly possible to do that. we could also expect him to come and 6 us if it look a little further away and that made the rush. i will try to, i'm closing even more than before. so cutting ties was the west. probably cutting things like youtube, which is and um, maybe one of the last channels media channels, a very important y'all's, connecting bratia to the outside world to the west of the world. and can i ask you what person's new time will mean for you? creighton, in particular. well, as i've just said, it would mean certainly more more so no signs of a rush or i getting tired of legend and 14. i'm showing signs of fatigue. oh, maybe i'm going for a compromise. so he's saying basically um, i'm winning and i intends to continue with my goals and he's goes x ray to destroy ukraine as a sovereign state, as it was established in 199 to my on after the collapse of the soviet union. so he

will pursue that goal and i think in the, in the v. c, it might be if we look at this year and the next year may be a 2025. a lot will depend of how this will continues and what will happen the united states who will be the next president of the united states. ukraine is very much dependent on us help. if there is little help, then of course voting might be going to and highest speed. and which is also important as we should watch, the major ukrainian cities like hockey closer to the russian border. and the desktop are a major and very important lexi ports of ukraine. actually, the last one, big one that has left we've seen in the past day is just prior to the action. a lot of talk in russia itself and front porch and also from the russian president. i bought a desk. so this is the key region for the coming months and yes to watch. okay. you mentioned roman that he was going to try and squeeze the opposition even sub, but whatever is left of the opposition. i mean,

does he face any real threats at this point? well, at the moment it looks like he is very stable. so in, in short term, no, i would say, but in the medium term, and in the long term, the st. the thinks wouldn't be unstable for him because this war is not to populate in russia. so there's a core of about 20, maybe 70 percent of the most, who love it, like it, and to go fight or support the fighting until the actual wins. but on the other hand, there isn't majority that i know it's very much happened because the russians die in this war. it am and the population is, is getting to feel it more and more. so the more the one of the war continues, the more difficult it could be for pointing, but at the moment the stable and he has enough money, utilities, eastern europe, editor room and going try and k, thanks so much room in 6. now there was little doubt who would win russians presidential election, but many of those opposed to fly them in person. did he,

the cold by the russian opposition movement to flood polling stations at noon on sunday to signal the discontent. thousands also turned out to protest the election of russian embassies around the world. lines stretched into the distance outside russia's embassies in england. turkey cause ex done all has come to cost the vote for russia's next president. but for many, it's an active protest. yep, it's, well, i didn't come to vote for anyone. i came to vote against every one. thousands turned down to in response to a call from the russian opposition movement to line up at mid day on the last day of russia's tightly controlled presidential election. the noon against boots and rallies with championed by you leo,

nevada knew the wife of kremlin critic alexi novelle name, who died under suspicious circumstances. last month that i found the volunteer joined over 2000 the russians, lining up outside the country's embassy in berlin. 6 hours later, she costs to vote for president. of course i wrote and involved the son name because it just comedy, so that a month before the election and during the presidential campaign, persians, main opponents already imprisoned was mode it with all and flooded me and pollutants, major rivals in prison, exiled or dead. the outcome of this election was never in doubt, but even in russia, thousands still turned out at noon on the final day of voting. showing each other end of the world. there are still many who oppose putin's rule.

of the vote that extended to the russian leaders rule is looming, large in the minds of european union officials in brussels. you need is amazing that the site on a new 5000000000 euro military aid package for ukraine. the use foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, gave this assessment of the russian election. these hang on being the fan elections, know, or c or service you highly restricted in vitamin position and different elastic? are they what they can save more than that? these are the actual as being bays and regression and intimidation and being held onto ukrainian bulk of by category violating ukrainian southern now israel says it has killed a top hamas come on the in a raid a, b, l she foot hospital gallstones have been one to evacuate the complex, which was one of the biggest and one of the last remaining health facilities in the

gaza strip. israel released these images of the raid the is randy ami claims from us militant side of them from the hospital. and that how much is using l? she's a, is a come on sent to the homeless run goals. the health ministry is reporting multiple casualties goals and some sort shelves from the will at all. she saw off to the i'm us, how must lead october the 7th to her attacks. a dw jerusalem correspondent tonya claimant is monitoring events in garza. i also whether there's a way for civilians course in the el cheapo hospital to guess out, well they're a bit of conflicting reports would be a hearing. i mean, on the one hand, there's a statement that came out early in the morning by the armies saying that had cautioned the troops operating there and not to harm or to avoid any harm to the medical stuff to patients that are inside the hospital. i feel also hearing some eye witnesses there that leaves us have been dropped in the area in the

neighborhood of fremont. and also to those sheltering on the hospital grounds that they should leave and evacuate to soften dogs a to the area of mobile. i see that is on the coast in a new laptop. so of course it's a bit difficult now to understand how this of a creation of people will work is the safe corridor. also, we have to understand these people have been that it's a very difficult area. northern goals we've been talking about it and supplies have not reached the area very frequently. so people would have to see how the rest would get transports. so all of this is so to see how this will unfold, but suddenly devastating for those people who have stayed in the neighborhood now to be told to evacuate. once again let's, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines today and taliban officials and ask on us don claim pack hasanti strikes of killed 8. so that means in the border regions of cost and practica. the telecom lord fatality of tree attacks on
