a quarter of the results so far about 25 percent have come in the picture building off of how the st. do my well look around. like i said, 26 percent of those counted, you can see united russia certainly leading diet is the de facto routing parties pop. not a surprise. the one thing that might come as a surprise, how well the communist party of the russian federation and team sub managed the former is a double. it's going from the election 5 years ago that of course you can see on the far right l d, p. all at the liberal democratic party of russia, around 8 percent. just remind you, of course, the roosevelt are not finals. there are still paper votes to count their electronic vote to count. we're going to use. the electoral commission said that that electronic part of it would you take 25 minutes? thought is technology for you just process again and you can squeeze recently, much with 2 smaller pos who's next on around 7 percent. on the biggest surprise of the fall of a new code, the russian political stage, new people found just
5:02 pm
a year ago, 6 and a half percent, which is enough to had it safe in the parliament for the 1st time. it is very short history could showing for the 1st attempt, i will pick up date, of course, as more of the votes all counted and come in. when, according to initial result, like we said, united russia party have just over 44 percent of the boat. like i said, the top 3 quarter of the balance has been counted. so if they continue going at this pace, the party will reach will be quite close to the results that achieved in the 2016 election, which gave a constitutional majority. so probably be quite teased. not just remind united russia, like i said, defax or routing policy. it's the largest in the country. it's common is the former prime minister to meet, treat me at the edge of how the party supports the program of the president, or like i always say, the president officially, not a member of it. so he does endorse it as it goes when it starts to try and rushes sovereignty and economy, which is all caught on everyone's mind,
5:03 pm
especially during your time demick times. that includes support for domestic industry with an emphasis on high tech sector. for more on what's been going on in the united russia h q. let's cross live to konstantin roscoe, who's there on hand to give us the latest competency bank for coming on the line that started off. not so good for united russia. the telegram channels giving its initial thought out to initial vote count, i should say, around 38 percent drawn up to 40 percent. those things are going better. what's the feeling that this victory will things are shaping up for united russia and everyone here seems to be in high spirits. you may not see right now in the party is over, but just minutes ago people were passing a drink and champagne, celebrating with everyone here, cold, a clear, big treat. united. russia indeed is coming out on top. however, it doesn't look like an overwhelming
5:04 pm
a landslide victory as it was during the last 2. and we're looking at the preliminary results here that show united russia with a little bit over 44 percent of the votes. and this is a 10 percent decrease from the last part of the ministry election in 2016. now, of course, not all the ballots have been counted yet, and the numbers may change. also, united russia is leading in many constituency elections across the country, which will help the party to secure ex, receipts in the lower parliament and retain a simple majority to be accurate. we're looking at $131.00 seats. it's a preliminary number of united russia candidates leading in their constituencies as if now it seems that for you now to russia, repeated success and keep a super majority. do you thirds of the state duma, which allows the faction to pass legislation without looking towards the opposition is going to be a whole order. now. we had a chance to exclusively talk with her deputy chairman of do my carol got tolstoy he
5:05 pm
represents united russia and he also happens to be an ancestor of a famous russian writer, leo tolstoy. he said that regardless of the elections outcomes, the parties go into double down on the efforts to curve. american peg shines operating in russia last heavily because i'm good on your media is influences growing by the year, especially when it comes to young people. and of course, the fact that the tech giants comply with american laws but not with rushes while operating in our country is wrong. and we'll change that. we have a draft bill aimed at grounding those id giant, so to speak. they will have representation in the russian federation and bear responsibility under russians laws, if they break those doors, particularly if they spread information that's deemed extreme is by rational authorities. if they support such groups that will be held accountable. in fact, these influences not that huge, but in big cities, it affects the voter turnout among youth. for us, every vote counts and we don't want to hand our electro feel free to the industry
5:06 pm
operating under us on the i'll just to give you a call back story here, united russia, which supports the kremlin, and vladimir putin has been the country's dominant political force since it's foundation in 2001, however, the parties popularity waned in recent years, especially after the much dislike pension reforms. in response to that, united russia has completely shaken up its party list and chosen some of the country's most popular political personalities. to be flagship, candidates like defense minister, should go and foreign ministers argue live ra. now the 3rd on, on this list is a new commerce to politics, denise, for them. guy who came to prominence in early 2020 as the had doctor of russia. the main current of virus hospital. well, soon we'll see if the approach has paid off. i mean, as i said, united russia is leading according to preliminary result, but it's still unclear if they will manage to repeat their previous success and completely dominate the duma
5:07 pm
consisting banks for that says that if you have counting to guy will get back to you. no doubt throughout the night as those numbers come in constantine roscoe. now one of the hopeful new people has 6 and half percent. as we can see that take that 4 to 5 percent threshold to get into the spectrum of thought result continue to stand. it will hind seats in the countries level same we're following for the 1st time in the countries and the countries rolled up brief history as well. just took not also briefly to how long new people party has been on the scene. it was found just a year ago. it's considered just my guess center right, and pledges to fight against bureaucracy. and the country found for the modernization of political institutions, the part to promote social justice on support the department of modern technology, science and education. on fact, of course,
5:08 pm
one equal sunroof has been keeping an eye on the part drug people monitor people, one point parties, nita, for the heart of the political life of the whole country of russia. this is one of the most upscale and friendly places of the russian capital, but today it is hosting the sort of the after party for the parliamentary elections . this political experts analyst as panels of guest happening as we speak. and of course, candidates here as well. but as you were saying, the ones who are seem to be definitely celebrating, they will be celebrating tonight, at least if the preliminary figures don't change and don't waldrop too much for them is a new party, the new people, this is their name and they could very well, add to the existing 4 parties currently represented in the lower house of the russian parliament. and, well, what better way to find out about the parties, policies, and what they're all about. after all, even in russia, not that many people might know about them since they have only been form just
5:09 pm
a year ago, but still hasn't hampered them from already. they seem to be bagging just just below 7 percent of the votes, but without any further ado, i'm being joined by the number 2 of the new people's party. but it's about how you're feeling. how can you comment on the printer? so we can see your children, the pregnant figures quite impress, to get worse. she young coffee, is that a making instead of you and your real election campaign? it's huge to board the we've received these also huge responsibility. we've been getting for hundreds of thousands of messages, just got the support line. people have shed their votes with us. the most inspiring is the russian. so i go full across the world to vote for our party now on broadcasting between international orgy anesha rushing holiday for
5:10 pm
them it was, you know, when you have not quite well known, it's just not really aware of the policies that are in the lead to your are, and you additional choice, can you name is why the 3 things that key in your party, somebody, me and we represent a he, a modern russia out, a new russia. that one's to have rely on common sense in decision making process to be able to apply rational, sustainable thinking and addressing any issues. but then we also all the voice for our region, always check in the regional issues of more high on our agenda whenever we go and we travel all across russia, we find a support from the live. thank you. so not all you know that you might have
5:11 pm
a lot on your plate for you, the advisor to the head of the new people party. and of course, you can see, well, she's quite happy about the outcome, or at least the preliminary outcome of the events and well as for the other parties, probably no surprise is for the united russia to bag the overwhelming not the majority of the votes, but the overwhelming well they, they are, they're pulling at above while 40 percent. so probably the expected more but will still a good result for them. there is going to be a bit of a struggle, a bit of a skirmish for who takes the 3rd place. that's something to definitely look out for during the elections. i will be standing by to bring you all the latest as to how things unfold and how the figures change over 27 percent of the vote now counts in the communist party of the russian federation. so far, has 22 percent of support that put on the rec fall to the duma, as it has been many years interestingly, gained nearly twice as many votes as
5:12 pm
a previous lecture 5 years ago. now the company's policy of the russian federation is the 2nd largest policy in russia, led by canada. if you've gone a fuel family to the 990, the school was most important thing. the biggest oldest of russia, the communist party, rudy, and could talk about what pledges we had bought new people that worked for more tonight and of socialism and economy programs, including the nationalization of the country of natural resources. it also wants strong support for small businesses is very popular. i was picking the middle of the country because i'd be an industrialized how well the previous election was the full time in a row that the party came in. second sentence, this report from that headquarters, the yearly results of the communist party of russia seems to be very promising at this point already. they seem to have doubled their results compared to the last election. and in some regions they have even triple them. now the communist party
5:13 pm
of russia is seen as the strongest challenger to united russia. and even though the communists are the 2nd largest party in russia, they've never actually come this close in terms of votes. now the commas party of russia is seen as the main alternative to the current ruling party. and that sentiment seems to have only grown in recent years and part perhaps due to the panoramic and the government's response to it. like in many countries, the health crisis actually widened the wealth gabby among citizens and in russia, russia's wealthiest reportedly out of $40000000000.00 to their collective net worth . and the communist party of russia promises to tackle that inequality. they propose a program called the 10 steps towards the power of the people and in this program, which aims to tackle the social and economic issues that many russians are facing today. and one of the proposed steps is, for example, is the nationalization of key industries and banks and an overhaul on industrial
5:14 pm
investments. now, the sentiment among many russians these days to be that capitalism has not worked out that well for them. and according to these places, are these preliminary results, a lot of people are beginning to look for an alternative system. and communist party of russia seems to offer that alternative i'm old and 30900 foreign observers. the next book from 80 countries have been keeping a close eye on the voting process. one observer from france, thomas, what surprised her the most people who really we can had had held the election process, the principles of democracy. we interviewed people at poem stations morning to how the process is going with everything is in order without interference. and the bottom line is that the russian nation, the criticize so much now goal is to understand how everything happens in reality. this is a rather unusual election, italy over 3 days, some both as participating, and tony voting on his vote. he's in peg balance. it was interesting to know how this happened. we have visited full poem station,
5:15 pm
so maybe 5 and what is really fascinating. the electronic ballad boxes to ballad time you at least can saved and counted, this idea can be borrowed. it seems good to me about how things are shaping up at the moment from all to joe king. of course, you can see at the historic kremlin, we will be here coming out, keeping an eye on all those results. how's they come in? and we got a solid idea as exactly what the 8 states do might it's going to look like, and they will be on my list to discuss what those mean. 4 of us in truth, in the meantime. it's good buy from us back to h q. and will we take a look back at, from the stories that rub headlines in the week and see you again in 45 minutes? one more time. the
5:16 pm
join me every 1st day on the alex salmon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me this is your media reflection of reality. in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for tyson lation community? are you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted?
5:17 pm
you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, welcome. let's take a look back at the biggest stories of the by 7 days. now in the section we call the weekly and the united states. this week, i acknowledge they late august drone strike enough. galveston had killed 10 civilians, including 7 children and not a single terrorist. washington initially claimed the strike was necessary to prevent the talk on cobble at port in the final days before america's military withdrawal. o o. busy busy busy the. busy
5:18 pm
me friday, a top us commander admitted that the joan strike was what he called a mistake. marine corps general kens mackenzie apologized and acknowledged that those killed in what was a residential area of cobble, were not associated with the terrorist group isis k. i am now convinced that as many as 10 civilians, including up to 7 children, were tragically killed in that strike. moreover, we now assist it. it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died were associated with us or were a direct threat to us forces. there was a mistake, and i offer my sincere apology. america's last drop strike officially of the, of the afghan war, turned into a terrible tragedy when we heard them try to justify these as strike say that they saw him this vehicle in year and isis compound that they saw him looting containers,
5:19 pm
which turned out to be water containers into his cup, we found that very quickly that what the united states said and more people were reporting on the ground, the witnesses and the body count that they didn't fit with the american narrative. the guy, the biden administration drone was he and a worker or an ices k operative. the administration is, of course, reviewing that that strike. and i'm sure that a full assessment will be, will be for you don't know if it was a worker or an ices k operative. i can't speak to that and i can't speak to that in the setting in any event. so you know, no or won't tell us. i don't, i don't know because we're doing well. see, you think you'd kinda know before you're off, somebody with a predator drones. and the thing is, is there is blow back to that. i mean, i don't know if it's true, but i see these pictures of these beautiful children that were killed in the attack
5:20 pm
. if that's true and not propaganda, if that's true, guess what? maybe you've created hundreds or thousands of new potential terrorists from bombing the wrong people. we also had just recently that the she, i apparently warned that there were children in the vicinity as the me sob was, be knew it will though and is unclear whether this is really true or merely propaganda. because, you know, given current rates of technology and the technology, the united states has had for many years, it is difficult to imagine them launch it myself from a grown without seeing what they were aiming at, what they were firing at 7 children were killed during that s, like some of them were playing around the car, one of the parents was, was parking the car and several more were inside the car when it was struck by us. mesa had to go to school that a terrible tragedy. it says it will try to try to learn the lessons that are to be learned here. but ultimately it says our ability to strike in
5:21 pm
a dentist on against future targets remains and diminish. so don't take this as a sign of weakness. that is what they said. this is an evacuation in the war, but left the pride of the american people, the america, american military and the american nation. deeply wounded. ultimately the by the administration will have a very, very tough few weeks ahead of them. the, the republican arrived for blood while the democrats tried to carry out these investigations, and i'm such a way that they don't palm president biden, but many of them will ready, publicly admitted that may be impossible. the youngest victims of the august 29th striking campbell with 2 girls, both edged just to man who was targeted, turned out to be an aide worker. us forces apparently thought that he was loading bonds onto a truck down to the water bottle. it's brother was among the grieving family
5:22 pm
members who shared with his dad stories in our special project and heard voices. you can watch it in full at any time on our t dot com for now. here's a preview. we saw the sandals belong to milly. she was very close to me. i looked her so much. she always told me to buy ice cream with us military forces conducted and unmanned over the horizon air strike on a vehicle known to be an imminent isis k threat. on the morning of the bombing, she came and kissed me and said, good warning, father, it was her last meeting. i will never see her again. they say, isis k lived in this house in this house, were these children members of isis a stupid thought without any proof, without any investigation, they attacked us and killed our children, and we will never forgive them. former pentagon security on the list on an ex intelligence officer, gave us the views on the us apology. and the deep underlying issue reveals it is
5:23 pm
a little unusual for them to admit to a mistake. then there used to be bombings all the time in syria. and northern iraq, they hardly ever admitted to the kind of guy really had no choice but to look into it. so the general takes responsibility and they're going to offer compensation doesn't bring back the lives of children and the adults who are killed. and it also showed they didn't have good intelligence, and it really throws into question the over the horizon concept that pentagon says it now has and will continue to watch f can stand for any potential terrorist attacks out of isis or, or al qaeda. it clearly shows that this over the horizon approach is inadequate. it makes more terrors, it kills by alienating entire populations who say all the united states is doing is murdering innocence. we have a person who's not properly trained, looking at his screen under great pressure from his commander in chief to be seen
5:24 pm
as striking somebody. and he's looking at something that he doesn't understand or she doesn't understand and decides to make a decision that yes, this could be a threat. and then result refer missile will do a building. and a car had nothing to do with isis. united states should not be employed, weapons hazard lee in a manner which ends up killing thousands of innocent civilians. remember these last 10 or just the final exclamation on a program is killed. thousands of innocents the same way. this happened with bad intelligence. bad information and political pressure to be seen as doing something france has for the 1st time recalled, it's on bass of this from the united states in australia. it's a declaration about rage of renew, pacific security packed, evolving washington and camber plus the u. k. britain's new foreign sex to defended the fact that the french for
5:25 pm
a minister dealing out some dark words for the whole trio of nations. you, there has been lying. duplicity is a major breach of trust. this will not make the feelings and not going well. really . they're not going well, it turns out, but it means that a crisis, we are a fierce champion of freedom and free enterprise, but freedoms need to be defended. so we're also building strong security ties around the world. it shows our readiness to be hard headed and defending our interests and challenging unfair practices and malign acts new agreements. cool, dorcas. the 3 nations will share data on strategic areas including cybersecurity and nuclear defense. under the terms, australia will acquire a nuclear power submarine fleet with the use of us and british technology. and it's meant the scrapping of a multi 1000000000 euro submarine contract between camber and paris. so the dubious key has more. oh, that was wrong thing. the us relations with this deal,
5:26 pm
we're joining together. we're partnerships are getting stronger. this is what we're about. that you are, you ricocheted right the way through the french government. but it's really a stop in the relationship who trust have been built with australia. and this is, trey was poly, we signed an agreement, a strategic partnership, violating it would be the same as breaking promise. and when it comes to the field of geopolitics and international relations, breaking promises unacceptable. and so in this problem, over the loss of what was known as the deal of the century, supply that fleet of submarine to a 3, it's now thinking event less. right. and then to get together with the radio and the us have been told relations have sunk so low for me to recall that some
5:27 pm
passages from both countries. i understand they're disappointed and that's very, very clear and work through those issues. they're important part of france, particularly here in the pacific, where we have so many shared interests. and so i will work through that some now questioning if the nato alliance can come by nato isn't working as it's supposed to be. it was initially supposed to be working. it is, there are alliances within the alliances and this, because prove today that there are these, there are no more, there is no more lines. i think that it has to be reviewed. and if for australia and the us and u. k, can backstab a country like from, i think this should give a strong signal to parents that once again, it's got nothing to gain within any try have been chatted on the side of the atlantic. but this to, you could have much wider repercussions showing you had time that to it was a king to the rule. me all you should, you,
5:28 pm
the u. s. on the street should follow the trend of the times. respect the common aspirations of countries in the region, discard the outdated cold war 0. so mentality and narrow minded geopolitics and view chinese developments in a correct way and stop interfering in china internally when they don't wait for. it could be a freely to a thing. normally, it takes some tension between the us and the new truck. and it shouldn't need to come in goes pacific is web fight, didn't want to foreign policy to be focused. joiner is i'm likely to take that thing down show that he will see paris with all the international updates coming your way in 30 minutes. the i
