and see, see what that battle has done to him. i feel like jewels like might be coming to an end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest and most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable. it's alive. the who's the good afternoon and welcome to the coverage of the 2021 russian state duma reelection. we've chosen one of the best views in moscow. no doubt about that. certainly the most appropriate location, politically we're overlooking the kremlin, this is our base of operations and it's from here that will be counting down to 3 days of voting, which will be getting underway now in less than 24 hours. so thanks so much for joining as much appreciated as we get, dive into the world of russian politics and examine those issues the russian public

talking about as they prefer to head to the polls. that's all on the weight for you 1st. so let's take a quick look at what's making today's headline stop in the back front. then frustration driven allies, the u. s. u. k, and austria. leave it out of a specific security allows the same to come to china. job either makes an embarrassing flip of well another thing that deal apparently guessing that i am of the australian prime minister. thank you bores. when i want to thank that fell down under thank you very much. appreciate it. just previous and on the eve of russia's parliamentary election, the threats of potential meddling is raised to bring you the full breakdown later this hour throughout the 3 days of voting in our special couple awe

. thanks so much for joining us. know about it today. i assure you, our russian election coverage that will be coming up for you very shortly. make sure you stay with us for that to start off though, we're going to focus on the 1st of those long stories i just mentioned. i stop in the bag. that is how senior french officials have described a pacific security packed between 3 of its allies, the united states, britain and australia, seen as an attempt to counter beijing, u. k. correspondence chevy address dashti has been following developments. well, put it this way for the french, it seems like australia was only with a fraud until a better deal off came along, which invariably it has australia originally asked france to help with it the read mission but has now walked away and walking away. also comes with scrapping a 90000000 year road deal instead. australia now wants to sign this tax with the

united kingdom and the united states, which for the french, they say it's a stop in the back. the world, the jungle, france has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way, the u. s. and the u. k of stopped her in the back in australia fil a v. the american choice to exclude the european ally and partner such as franz from a structuring partnership with australia at the time when we are facing unprecedented challenges in the, in the pacific region shows a lack of coherence that france can only note and regret. so instead of failure have find this security parks with the united kingdom and the united states overgrown consent over china and its regional dominant on to this deal. then what it all really entails is that all 3 nations will be sharing secrets and data and information on a strategic level on areas, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and also nuclear defense. part of this,

we'll see that australia will now acquire a nuclear submarine making the 7 the country in the world to get a nuclear sop just the last time that the united states allowed such capabilities was right here to the united kingdom some decades ago. so very grand gesture, indeed. however, it's not just the likes of france quite upset by the signing of this new security parks, but neighboring countries like new zealand who have long been walking towards nonproliferation in the region. the center pieces it is nuclear power submarines. no part is a very well versed and understanding positional nuclear power vessels and weapons. i will legislation says no vessel holy are fully powered by nuclear energy condenser and turn on waters. but look, burton is also quite eager to be more involved in areas like the asia pacific, especially after its exit from the european union. we have to remember that the united kingdom on its government has long been trying to re brand and re establish

it self as a global britain. but all of this will really push europe to now be more fundamental in its own strategic planning. in fact, the plot was not even informed about this new u. s. u. k, australia security partnership. again at a time when e. u. member states are also struggling to meet the fund thank commitments in nato as well. so that could be a wider political backlash than just that of china. but we thought we got some reaction to this story. let's find out what people was saying on the streets of paris, mitzy by pulling out finally, this is not the 1st time tonight. the stage has taken contracts from us. they are very good at that. we do not respect anyone apart from themselves. they act like masters of the world. they shouldn't have done because i think it fronted on the same. they would have complained it and they wouldn't have liked. we'll see if the current president is better than the last one. the represents a lot of money, but a lot of jobs, but it would be better if these jobs were for making other things. it's

a little dishonest, i suppose. and the other hand there were closest which allowed them to break the contract before they started making the submarines. no, it was never good for a person to see that a contract has been broken. it's happened to me personally. they're always paragraph included, but it must be justified. you have to have a good reason if i understand it correctly, the united states is a competitor. so of course, it's not a good thing. there should have been talks between the french and the americans. for the friendship between washington and camber might not be as close as it seems when announcing the security deal. and you really couldn't make this up. president biden appeared to forget the name of australia's prime minister. it's got morris. thank you born and i want to thank that fell down under thank you very much. appreciated as to privacy australia, the u. s. on france,

i've repeatedly cited the supposed security threats from beijing in the in the pacific region where china is the dominant power and the signing of the office. security packed comes just months of to britain infuriated the chinese by sending its war ships to the south. china sea to join the so called freedom of navigation operations led by america. china has condemned the new alliance. calling the throw back to the cold war. countries should not build exclusionary blocks targeting or harming the interests of 3rd parties. in particular, they should shake off their cold war mentality and ideological prejudice. we spoke about the earliest choice of military pon, isn't wherever it might be leading with economics, professor benjamin child, an anti war activist. richard becker. there's no explanation. why are the u. s. u k . now at this time helping a straight ya develop a nuclear power suite of submarines and then turning around and saying this will

advance the, the world peace. clearly this is about another war. this is about a war that is being prepared against china. the us leaders, they talk about the endo pacific just of course, and the term was made up to enable the us to explain us leaders explain, bringing more countries into the anti china alliance, surrounded china. on the surface, we see that the u. s. and the u. k is empowering australia to have nuclear submarine. i think the under one key reason for this empowerment is the us in the ability to provide more defense budget to support this large spending of nuclear power summaries. so it says it is forcing australia to share the cost of maintaining such ships and

also strategic positions and also forces yourself to be and also in the pacific region, especially now that there is increasing tension between china and australia. so china is watching very closely the next steps of do these 3 alliance. in other news, on his special investigative project reads, fish this how this page and instagram deleted on the platform. this follows a similar me my facebook in april of this year. before his page was blogs, read fish, and 400000 and followers that have been facing increased pressure in recent times, such as its content being labeled, russian controlled media. read fish contacted to both instagram on the side zone, a facebook for an explanation of the bomb, but it's not yet received a clear answer. go instagram account got deleted either because you've violated one or more of instagram's community guidelines or because of

a mistake. once in instagram account is deleted, you can't restore it. read fish, managing director lizzy feeling really says no transparency in the influence. facebook and instagram have over the media. is like facebook and instagram. they have more power than any cooperation before them, or any government before them has over the media. but they're less accountable and less transparent than ever before. and we've tried over and over again. so reach out to somebody at facebook and instagram and to for them to explain latest by today by instagram, comes off the company was deleting several, a series of feminist pro l g, b, c, and the police violence post. now these are all values which both facebook and instagram claim to hold, but until today, they refuse to explain to us why when we talk about them they, they apparently violate that community guidelines. now tomorrow,

russia had to the polls for the parliamentary elections with the clock ticking down splits are certainly forming among the countries opposition parties. one is announced that separation from the anti corruption found a group classified as an extremist organization. and a foreign agent, according to russian law, is done of explaining for a long time, it has been providing support to the doctor's alliance. it is a union, they brand themselves as russia's largest union for medical workers, and they boast some 3000000 members. so this is what they are this union. it was created by lex and evolve the or his structures but back in 2017 election of only figured that it was a good idea to start helping people unionize. to start helping workers union lines and promote the already existing unions. this doctors, the lions became the one of the 1st projects and certainly the most successful one

the, the, this anti corruption fund headed by election of only well created and backed by lex and evolving this anti corruption fund. it has been providing all sorts of information support for example, to this doctor's union. this doctor's alliance only became known, big only became known not among medical workers, but among general public only due to their joint projects with election, a volley and his people. and now essentially they are accusing election of all the and his retinue, the people in his retinue of cutting old ties and binding them. here's what they're saying. the anti corruption fund was providing informational aid to us, but once they stopped needing us, we forgot about us. the exploit didn't cost us aside and very frustrated. the managers of the anti caption found the destroying the very thing we have been working so hard to create bulk of donna for theft. you have chosen power and money . they don't care about people's fates, then i'll see it in europe, but someone is in jail to see the difference. anyone who believes nevada and he's

now at risk of criminal prosecution and no one will remember them when they will be put in jail and see this is a big deal because these words were written by a person who once was well until now really was election of these personal dr. i'm a to see of a city where she even came to is it and try to visit election a volley as he was serving the what his term and one of russia's penal colonies following his complaints about the quality of medical help that he was getting there so she was one while she was definitely one of the closest allies in the volunteer. well, in the valley's political organization, again, she never, she officially, she's never had any time, you know, volleys, political wing that he had created. but she had very, very close ties, like for example, election of all these fund helped them create the signature design for this doctors union. on top of that, the, the election of all his legal department initially did the bidding for the doctor

for this doctor's alliance until they got their own department and formed their own department, hired their own lewis. and again, so to see what was election of on these personal dr. and she was, she was boosted into media prominence through alex and of only so now she's making a very strong accusation. and it is a very big ally, and a very big, well to lose for election of only to lose for this fund that has been branded a and a for an agent has been branded as an extremist by the russian government. so it is a big ally to lose for the valley and his people. well, we touch on issues relating to rushes, parliamentary elections there in a moment. we're going to dive deep into the issues relating to that race for the 450 seats in the country state. doing that that's coming up after the short break. ah

ah, ah ah, ah, me. when i would show the wrong one, i'll just don't move the world. yes. to shape out the thing because after an engagement equal betrayal,

when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground the ah, the kremlin honda foreign debt coverage of the elections to the state. duma rushes lower, the price will be held on this friday. just tell you that means that the policy will be opening in just a matter of hours from now. so how all preparations proceeding,

while the polling stations are getting ready to receive the photos, the russian central election commission has already opened a video wall, which will be broadcasting the whole election process. the commission says that there are more than $100000.00 cameras at the polling station to observe just how the elections are being run. the transmission will be available to all of the participating parties. also, the public can watch that broadcast in $86.00 special election centers across russia, which, while the election hasn't even started moscow's already seething over, alleged foreign interference. it's handed evidence to the state department in washington. he's good for that. it was stressed. the russian side has concrete evidence of violations of russian law by the us internet platforms, in the context of preparing and conducting the duma elections. it was stated that interference in the internal affairs of our country was categorically inadmissible

. we had also pass the relevant information through our embassy in washington to the department of the giggle and who were earlier invited to attend a special security of russia's parliamentary commission to explain the position the head of the commission. so that evidence of meddling into russia. the 1st by both companies, has been presented to the us ambassador to moscow knots after the tech johns failed to remove the voting related content and apps made by organizations, clusters, extremist, and russia. meanwhile, the you said that it may not recognize the results of the election even before they've been health. resolution was approved by the p and parliament. although more than 100 members voted against with one in particular, having plenty to say on the issue. this isn't a serious credible document, it's actually is then a full big round. much of the information is false, misleading. on one side, it's we surround russia with mesa basis,

and we call them the aggressor. we support opposition groups and we accuse them a foreign interference. the european project is not being on remind and divided by russia, but fight the rank hypocrisy. that is characterized in this report. anyway though, is down of course, to the russian people to the san down come of the votes and let the invitation has appealed to the nation to exercise the right to chase. we sheet from the wilbur of the main point of an election is the expression of peoples well, which is the main source of power for implementing the constitutional right of citizens to define the future development of the country, which we want to be sovereign and prosperous together. we have a lot to do now. the modern world is complicated and rapidly changing. automated challenges, we need coordinated work between the government, society and citizens. we need a powerful,

authoritative parliament. the new state duma has to act in the interests of russia, the people so that newly elected deputies can be relied on. dear friend. and so i asked you to participate in the elections, which police come to the polling stations on any day or a vote on line. modern technology guarantees, it's safety and reliability. but a limit. well, the way in which politicians are related is something that can vary from country to country. so let's take a quick look now at how the election process works in russia. the who's the, the

on throughout the week we've been examining the 14 parties ill hoping voters will put a tick in the box. so let's turn our attention down to the new people party. it was founded just a year ago. it's considered to be center, right. pleasure to fight against bureaucracy in the country and the stands for the modernization of political institutions. the policy promotes social justice and support the development of modern technology, science and education. one of its candidates told us about the advantages of being such a young party problem when you can't solve the problem of all the policies, not having an online presence of people who are presenting these policies most you rely on tv to present their opinions. but as someone who's worked with the media, i know the internet community has just as much influence and that trend will only keep growing. the political parties which don't have enough of an online presence will lose in the future. the key difference between tv and social media is that the

1st one is a monologue, but the latter allows dialogue. when you say something, people comment on it, people share it. so you're always in contact with citizens from global to you. okay, let's find out more about this party. now from ortiz correspondent dmitri pac is reporting from central oscar to meet the new people party. it's a new comment on the blog, kelly year old. tell us, what does it stand for in what ways is it different? well this party, the new people party is basically a party of the younger generation younger than the one is currently residing in the government. this is the party raise on the internet that understand is intricacies and it just how important it is. now. yes, the party, the new people party is also a new party. it was only for me just last year. but so this is the 1st parliament and election, but already gathering quite some attention. so what do these new people want?

well, essentially they want to re orient the government to focus more on serving citizens, rather than catering to public officials. they want all left iraq receive less government and less government spending. meant to finance the over bloated government apparatus. they also want more transparency and representation in government. so they're proposing for many more official positions to become electable, such as the heads of police departments, mayers and so on. they also want more changes based, which is the government, but obviously those changes would need more new laws or removing old laws or reworking some of the ones that currently exist. but before doing any of that, they would of course, they want to propose their 1st proposal is to get into parliament would be to introduce all personal responsibility and accountability for law make for lawmakers, lawmakers that proposed laws they would have to bear personal responsibility for

the things they propose and if they get pass on how well they perform, but still able to 1st legislative proposal about making lawmakers responsible for what they vote on as things stand they possibly will then have nothing more to do with it. so i want to add another step to insure a lot of work. in reality, you also need to consider the feedback from the public on any new law right now that only happens in specific cases, it needs to be on the systematic level. obviously that law would at least in theory, only make for better laws, but really the sort of a means to an end and the end, the new people, what their main goal is to have more for the government to focus more on the middle class to support small businesses which at this point they feel or suffocating under too much government oversight, too much. taxes to many checks that oftentimes just limit the progress of these small businesses. they also want less taxes for the self employed. and in fact,

they just generally want a more, a new generation of russians that aren't afraid to open their small business entrepreneurs ship. and of course, that starts with education. and the party is proposing some reforms in education, including proposals to introduce classes on basic entrepreneurship. and financial literacy in school. now, all that to say that the party of new people are advocating for change and modernization and better communication using the technology that are available today. and all that requires is that the government basically gets with the times and takes a fresh look at all aspects of russian life and the russian, russian government. and hopefully that would make for russia to be more comfortable place to live to meet you can bring is the low down on the new people party the think it on a do thanks. so you guys have tuned in joining us this afternoon. we're in central

moscow. this is our rooftop election. h q. we're going to bring a lot more coverage from a team of anchors and correspondence throughout the rest of this evening. they stay with there's lots of guests, i'm sure we'll be on the way. and of course we'll be with you right through the 3 days of voting and bringing those all important results on monday morning for another bus it from may stay with us. i will be back in just half an hour time with your next global news update and state doing the election, special from central moscow stay with the the ah, ah, ah, ah ah

it's time to act. when we're filing on this issue, the other side winds. by default the lady that lived over there. i was walking one of the dogs. why do you wear again? were you scare me? i took it off and i think the people need to take responsibility in their own hands and be prepared if those kinds of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number that i initially show the kid is marshall and me will be seen. and he really is the issue is giving me the legal team manages

to get the case because cost us like united nations and sweden begins to feel the international political pressure, especially from that in america, me promoting and respecting human rights for all women men, girls and boys is a core value and a center priority for the swedish government, but she and de la secretary when you get but a sooner or so during the week of the year when you hit your heels, can do not call me. and so i don't want to meet on that, but i say would. and the other one you see on one side of that i get it but a so never control. so let me see, i can see it for yellow put in the set up. i see the saddles make a nice mostly cool, but i feel for the international but i got on the saddle level process for your specific. i mean, it was a waste of in the scale up, but it's one of the dollars april here. but another c, c. on the oil, is that 224. if the question or the 1st 2 diplomatic asylum, there is,

of course, no general international law obligation to recognize right of diplomatic asylum . why the nation and things can put in this plan has to go go some in the, in the very manager in which government can only do a few things to show the same day. there's an impromptu meeting between wiki leagues and a high ranking swedish official.
