the, the, this is the w use line from by the millions of people across india, a way to result of a closely watched collection with accounting. still under wayne, the right promoting and who's willing beach, a deep tiny, remain on costs of victory. and an overwhelming majority now is unlikely to bring you the latest. as well as military concerns the dance of for more hostages is being held in causes. and they just have benjamin at yahoo says he will not accept the cx 5 deal until all of his files demands of mat. germany counts the tragic cost of another funding disaster. tense level of sold says it should serve as a wake up pole to the front post buying climate change. and this information plays

that increasing role in elections around the world. we look at how broncho is trying to influence european voters and the work being done to improve down fake news. the i've been visible and welcome. counting is continuing in india to hundreds of millions of people, both through the internet election to decide who will fall in the next government in the world's most populous democracy. the national democratic alliance or n d. a led by prime minister in orange remote is national as b. j. p is the head of the couch, but the land slide victory that was full cost doesn't look like it will materialize . the india piece on track to win some 292 of the 543 states available. the opposition india alliance, which includes the once dominant congress policy,

looks to have one around $234.00 seats. modi is on cost retain, power furnace storage 3rd ton pump without any super majority. as a deli bureau chief is said, repeat us. but once you read into the current trends, why bends a threshold to form the government share in india for any alliance or a single potty stance at 272 seats. the beach, a p, a loan is from it there at the moment, hovering around $240.00, together with a national democratic alliance partners. they will get there because that this whole ring around 292 sometimes a bit more up to 295. so that looks very lucky, but it is a diminished majority for the beach i p. which means that the small at aligned, spotless here are going to be the king, make us at the beach repeat. so it seems weird has to learn to compromise, would have to be less or authoritarian,

less aggressive as an individual policy because they will depend on that partners more than ever. if you look back at 2019, they alone had 303 seats and they lost quite a few of those. we're just getting a news that moody has claimed victory. what's the opposition site? well, the opposition of this, these tests the opposite. we heard senior congress to lead our roof. we've gotten the earlier he actually spoke about voted punishing moody because it's a punishment and he's single out, especially the state of top, reddish, saying that the vote us and we'll talk practice, have secure india as democracy. and india constitution white or top had dish. is this the most popular, this state of india with a population equaling and even bigger than that of brazil and pockets done. and on top her dish alone cents a team members of parliament to the national capital. back in 2019 the beach

a p could secure and 6 to 2 of these a 2 states, and now they lost half of it. so they are at the moment standing at 32. so it's a very significant loss. and if you look at a 16 like it was and then use earlier in the year in january, whether be piece a q at the building of a huge template dedicated to lot around one of the, your biggest election promises. they were obviously thinking that this would pay off, but in fact, they have lost even this constituency of our audio, the latest day from out w, your chief sound hope to you this month. so let's continue the analysis with the w report on an image that ties while the beach a p, celebrating moody, just claiming victory. but does his party really have something to celebrate the body itself and the symbol of the buffet? yes, mr. moore, the most said, this is where he started, put them onto the founding prime minister of the country, had to simulate the them. thank you for your confidence. but if you actually dig

into the numbers, they do not have that must have had a break. as sondra was pointing out, we are seeing a loss of the, of the of doors and number of seats of the media behalf for the fast. they can not form a majority on that on the defend on coalition thought not. and that is essentially a weakening of the b j. p. right? because in the boss, the fact that they had such a strong majorities in 2019, in 2014 meant that they could steam roll through every single policy. but now this is a loss of confidence and it's very hard to see it in any other way. so instead of celebrations both supposed to be a moment of reflection, at least within the bi drippy. but it's donnelly, for sure to be able to maintain a very, very confident experience. so would you say this is a failure of government policies, or would you credit the opposition? well, that's quite an interesting question because when it comes to government policies, concerns like unemployment concerns like inflation. when they come up there remind

me of when i was on for the 2019 and i was going across india talking to people and they had the same frustrations but the be just became back with the drawing majority. and once again, when you look at the board to ship the be just be, has been deemed, it's watched as of now for at about 37 percent. the same as the last time around. but then when you don't your attention to the opposition coordination that almost doubled the number of seats they had in 2019. so the fact that they put together the fact that they identified okay and the steer to take the lead in the state. i take the lead and they were able to bring together that fragment of what the $29.00 team they had barely any fees and this time around the definitely in a very good position to be a very strong coalition and a very strong check on file for the res repeat, can you mention uh, concerns then what about concerns minorities? will that change? yes, it's definitely been a big starting point both within india and internationally. the indian government has to be a skepticism again from both sides, but also very strong support because if it strong can do majority fund,

it is interesting to look at what this means for minorities, right. it's because in the course of the scam being missed and will be as well as the be just be decided to take quite an aggressive, almost a bit and stones, openly naming muslims when it came to film on going against the minorities. but this does seem to have played out against them. of course, there's a lot of muslim voters, many of them seem to have done against them and the bell by the state of with the dish or you'll be and going forward is that it will be interesting to see what mr. moody to was. this, when he chose to double down on his address, if not at all, that works better for him, didn't work better this time, or when he chose to shift focus on the development agenda. you know, the me to be very well known for supporting development politics as well, and moving the sort of jobs to shift that focus and maybe leave at our minority policies alone. what else could this main for the? well, the, another movie to, well, if you talk about the world more in terms of international relations, we can expect india to maintain course very much,

but somebody does very well on the international stage. he does very well interacting with international lead to us as supporters love that. but the fact that he's at the head of another coalition in school and she's talking of, i'm not going to get them to way of his good relationship with the west as well as with josh. and he's a historic day of these previous movie. but when it comes to installing, the fix is definitely an important shift that this in that's definitely checks and balances. we had a lot of conversations about how is the government auto ted and is this government making individual decisions? is the government deviating democracy? i think all those questions now will have a strong check on them if is definitely and the opposition is caulked right now to make sure it provides those checks as well as the coalition. to make sure that mr. moore, the on the beach would be behaving the way that fix everybody along and i'm not making individual decisions that suit them. never sure, thank you very much for political, that deposit is a lot there to get out. teeth stuck in to in other uses. rails military has

confirmed the depths of full mor hostages, kidnaps during the almost late october 7th hour attacks. it says 85 year old. i'm around cooper high, perry, and your med school, both of 80 and 51 year old is why the british citizen, not of papa well died together months ago in on units. i'm us has not yet released the bodies, as well as the prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has again said he will not accept the ceasefire and gaza until all of as well as conditions. a man who keeps on the left. the middle trait has carried out more strikes in the south with a territory with no let hoping to find it. relentless strikes on rough. ha. did palestinians are taken to attend at a field hospital in the southern most city of calls? the strikes also hit the city of han, eunice where destruction is so widespread that newly flattened buildings no longer

stand out underneath the rubble as amaro dream. as sars mother ma ma, call us considering this. we have lost a lot. we lost all our loved ones. we have nothing left enough for the love of god implemented cease fire enough. we are tired, humiliated, and broken up good prospects for full truth. now look slim after us. president joe biden presented what are you called and is rarely ceasefire proposal. that would also see to the release of hostages, held by how mas afternoon is rarely prime minister. benjamin netanyahu came forward and dismissed the deal. and says that fully destroying from us has been a key priority from the start ends for the help of we are using calculus ways to bring back out hostages because it allows. we've come a long way. but in the process,

we've kept the voice of objectives in mind. primarily the limitation of home us. it will be but we won't give up on them either. i'm. it's a, it's the old part of the plans that clinic by me today. but there's also been pressure on netanyahu to speak the truth. and israel families of hostages have been calling for an agreement that would bring their missing loved ones home. i feel that from week to week it just we here just for about more and more hostages, the dying. and now we are in the critical moments. and if we not going to negotiate and will make a hostage, there is no help for these countries changed around and i can see them then coming back alive. whoever is still alive if it's still going to happen. now like in these days and then garza is more mounds of trouble pile up. international

pressure is mounting on israel to end. it's more. 8 severe flooding in southern germany has left 5 people dead. the situation in bavaria is most critical in areas close to the down. you have the rain folder over the last few days is the most of the time neighborhoods, roads and re lines. the neighboring state of bottom victim back was also found the effect that over the weekend. but the forwarding save of situation, there is easy although we crossed over to southern germany and the town of hagan spoke on the dan, you'd been bavaria as the way that we use. matthew moore is told us more about the situation and i'm on the down your river and by me is the old tired of reagan's by the unesco world heritage site. and let me just show you what the conditions are like here. basically, the only thing stopping millions of tons of flood water from hitting the old house

or flood defense is along the river banks here that'd be directed over the last few days stretching hundreds of meters. and that's of the basically, so far they've managed to stall old us water from hitting the old time. the water level here is around 6.3.4 meters high. that's double what it normally is. and on the other side, you can see some of the homes that unfortunately couldn't be protected and they have their inundated, so they're, they're on the water over there. at ultimately the german where the service has basically said that the reading is most stalled. and what we're seeing is that the culmination of days and days of rain flowing into your 2nd longest river. i know mickey is we don't stream by with a normal for rufus strength and paste a basically rigging spark and paso r. m. 2 of the places which are on the, on the, on the past of the past of this, this, this foss, moving river so far here, they've managed to mitigate the, the effects of, of the high levels of work. look now at some of the other stories making headlines

. flooding in sri lanka has killed at least 17 people of the monsoon. brains triggered land slights 13 at the countries. 25 provinces were hit by heavy vines, extreme weather effected nearly 160000 people is doing. and the vanya has attempted a memorial service in berlin for her late husband like thing a bonnie tuesday would have been his 48th birthday. the kremlin critic and the opposition leader died in an optic prison of the of this year. russian will far, he said he died of natural causes, but no bound. these allies claim he was mode 8 people have been arrested in hong kong over social media posts mocking the 35th anniversary of the tenements, square cracked down in badging. communist party lead has ordered the clearing of the square on june 4th, 1989 after it was occupied by protest is it's believe that hundreds were killed today. do you try?

his natural space agency says it's lunar pro is lifted off from the fall side of the moon. the chinese 6 craft is now headed back to us. a successful return would make kind of the 1st country to retrieve samples from that side of the materials labor unions of postponed and indefinite strike for a week. in order to continue talks with the government over a high a minimum wage. the government has signaled it's open to a higher monthly amount that the current then the comment, $60000.00 ira, that's about $41.00 us dollars. julia has been grappling with the cost of living crisis union said previously shut down the power grid, leaving millions without electricity. besides unaffected airport schools and other public institutions to let's bring in now correspondent elisa took home to cool out who's covering the story from lagos. for us at least, the strike was supposed to be indefinite, but has been suspended of to just one day. one now.

well then that is what it is that the trade unions. that's a basically called a suspension of the stripe blocks for just 5 days. they say is why laugh when it goes to a soon to come in the grocery store, the car in deal to continue. or they have been that, you know, when the guys have been to, the government said to increase the minimum wage. and the last side, they said that it had come to an agreement to go buy $60000.00 i, which is about $14.00 above that part. so while not at the gross agents are concerned, you want to see if there's any light on the title, the surgeon is, i've gone ahead. that's the state. so spent a stripe, but only 4 or 5 days, which means that should they not be able to come to the airport. i agree with the governments, the return of the 5 days back to the strikes and the strikes it already been going on. so what months i mean, what would tell us more about the impact well, but it has been severe, in fact, the same savvy side of the week on monday,

1st me when they shut down of the national grid nerd part was the one that is a great everywhere around the country in millions, wake up in the darkness and slept in darkness last night. then you also have the government, obviously, shots, banks that you know all the corporate, the body's not really are going to whack people screws close. universities also flurries, a lot of unions also joined it to that tried your desktop or district. so it's been almost a crypt and 24 hours of okay with economy. i know that the announcement have been made been about the suspension of this right. the problem is we get to be restored, so people are waiting. uh, you know, uh for the pots we got restored. i'm details, so phone, worry about this, you know, cover and deal of it 5 days ago. so there's some tactics between the government and the trade union. so how much support would you say that unions actually have among the public as well initially it did seem right, that makes because people wake up to the power grid shut down, which is a big blow. the airports were shut down, so flights couldn't, you know, go out to lagos? why bu done all the cities. i bought the us be, they went by yesterday. it was a lot of golf,

a nice ation of the public because uh on exxon twits on social media. people came out. so, you know, to show that the stuff you know, that supports for the ad tray, you know, saying that yes, they are really demanding a point increase in many more which we, they've not seen in many, many years despite several routes of the ghost asian. so they've got the packet of the people that special for the hot pockets about the, you know, the pain that they have to go through with no power. you know, obviously shut down no electricity and stuff like that. so ben has been a hard one on the people. what can i do? the app, i can do a trade union inside the n l. c. of label w correspondence, elisa tacoma. thank you very much for your forwarding on to the sprint of this information, which is becoming increasingly decisive and damaging fact in elections around the world. the see it, russia is in particular seeking to use this information networks to influence elections and the forthcoming european parliament pulse are made to target the grant monies and fee. oh the one the trying to manipulate the narrative. the

kremlin once a vote in european elections. 30 boards by the german federal forwarding office filed to the russia, had used more than 50000 fake accounts on ex, sending more than 1000000 tweets in order to manipulate public opinion. only in germany, it sounds far right. members and staff of the european parliament are being investigated for helping accused of taking money to promote pro rush of views through a propaganda network called voice of europe, allegedly financed by moscow and then headquartered in prague, even after being sanctioned and expelled by both the check government and the e u. the website kept its prague address a surprise to at least one resident of the building. were you aware that your home address is being used as a, as the site of a russian propaganda?

whether it's 1st time of day heard about this, well boys of europe may be muted. there are plenty of other voices that concern democracy activists, veronica v, who has been working to counter crumbling this information for years, and wishes european politicians would take a more active role rest and prob, again, that is not trying to persuade anyone about anything really. they are just trying to start tails into straus. uh so as long as we are not country and with some kind of narrative, that is going to create a story that is going to make people believe in democracy again for losing. and are you losing right now? i think we are on the verge of a vehicle that illustrates how check candidates are attacking each other with accusations of kremlin sympathies instead of presenting positive platforms. so basically, also the governmental partners are sort of separating manipulation at best. so this information about the u policies can't all be blamed on. foreign influence is plenty comes from european politicians themselves. the gary and government is

accusing the block of planning to force young europeans into the military to send them to ukraine. dw spec check team dispelled that notion quickly. noting the germany's monford river head of the largest political group and the european parliament has called for the german army to re introduce conscription. nothing else, but russia's war on ukraine has given this informers of all backgrounds much more material to work as compared with the last year of piano elections in 2019 and cove it pandemic conspiracy theories have also been resurrected for the vote. the european digital media observatory is a hub for $52.00 fact checking organizations coordinator to mazda of canada. hopes voters will be proactive and informing themselves nourishing the healthy skepticism on one hand, but do not also fall in the exact opposite of not trusting anything or anyone. and because this is one of the cool of this information wanting people not to trust anybody and things being that you know,

truth and falseness are absolutely the same. cannetta also warns that while the use of artificial intelligence in creating deep face has not been as prevalent as was feared, such tactics could still be deployed at the last minute, making it very hard to verify information and time. he urges voters to stay vigilant. european elections will be a crucial test as to how much fact checkers can do to ensure election integrity stay. let's talk more about this with, you know, stay to, um, you know, give us more of a sense of just how wide spread fake news and this information. and this information is, i mean, i think we're at a point where be, you know, definitely can say that the threat is real and we're seeing ahead of the european elections now on several coordinated efforts to spread this information. you know, this activity might increase as we're approaching the vote, and experts also don't expect it to stop once the boat happens. i mean,

it could likely continue afterwards to sort of in a challenge that legitimacy of the boat. and um, you know, the threats definitely is real. why is that so dangerous? i mean, i think, you know, this information really works in effect, like a desk by a 1000 cuts. you know, you have all these little falls. so it's, they're being spread. and the more full, so it's people see the more they start to doubt things. and then these doubts like over time they add up and they slowly wrote the trust and democracy. and that's something that's really incredibly dangerous. you've been reporting on this for for years now. what's different this time around this year? and that's right. i mean, you know, 1st of all, this information is nothing new. i mean, for century, as we've seen, country is attempting to, well, you know, influence, public opinion abroad and influence but what's abroad. and then over the last 20 years, we had the rise of the internet social media that made it easier and easier to spread that this information. but now the rise of circle generative k i and

generative artificial intelligence makes it easier than ever before for everyone to create fake video was audio was images from scratch. and this really makes a big difference. what about the russian spread, specifically? which countries would you say a targets and why is the gremlins up to freight? i mean, i think generally speaking, probably no country is safe from that thread, but in general pro russ. so this information is sort of like most effective in countries where it can tap into an already preexisting pro russian sentiment. and here in the european union, those are mostly a former come in this country is hungry. for example, they've seen the report from the tech republic, i've done my own reporting, and so back here and germany to a certain degree can also be included in that. and now, you know, i think it's important to understand that often the primary goal of these,

this information campaigns is not necessarily to convince people that have to change their mind. but it's kind of more, you know, it's rather they, they, they target these people who already sort of believe in these narratives. and it's kind of, it's a, it's about the goal. it's apparently to confirm what they already believe in. and i think, you know, that's also one of the reasons why we often see these, this information complaints that are really not that sophisticated. they look rather cheap, they look crude and they're still effective and what they do. okay. and the goal is, terry was mentioning there in the report is not to get people to believe a certain narrative, but just to be a little distrustful about what's being sent around. will propagated by a certain governmental bodies. yes, absolutely. and i think, you know, i think we should not underestimate the role of artificial intelligence and the mere existence of this new technology because, you know, we live in asia now we're just,

everything can be fake. and so if everything can be fake, then how do you know what's real? and i think, you know, this really creates this new kind of sense of can certainty, that's just a complete a new situation. losely. russia wants to influence the outcome of these european elections. what sort of outcome would be good for russia? well, i mean, you know, these, the goal of these pro russian, this information contains is to help pro russian candidates and parties get more votes, hadn't been on this, but succeeds this could have like, or it would have far reaching consequences. i mean, it could, we can support for ukraine as russia continues its invasion of ukraine. could we can trust in democracy, democratic processes. and um, you know, it could be stabilized to european union in general. and of course, we call you, or there's something that could help russia and, and russian president vladimir, put in on the global stage. you know, thank you very much for your analysis and good. see you again. so that brings you

up to date on all the international news i've been presented and we'll have a lot more coming up for you next hour. stay with us. the

all that's left is a grave. and then slide berry to manuel saw that it was the path to his wife and children. he calls it to st. but the catastrophe was caused by blood for a new highway a chinese construction projects in columbia. with no regard for the logo on on deed
